Chapter 2812
In the armistice agreement signed between Haihan and Ming, the two sides clearly stipulated that, as the defeated party, Ming should bow down to Haihan and gradually hand over the ruling power, including the command of the armed forces.
But the objective reality is much more complicated than the written agreement. Haihan does not have enough ability to swallow the wealth accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and it is impossible to digest this big pot of meat in a short period of time.
Wanting to take over the state capital under the rule of Ming Dynasty is not a task that can be accomplished by just sending a few officials to the locality.As for taking over the Ming Dynasty's army, it would be even more difficult. Even if the Ming court made an order, it might not be possible for the military leaders from all over the place to hand over their military power willingly.
And both parties knew very well that the real purpose of this agreement was actually to cease fighting, not to complete the transfer of power immediately.
Neither Da Ming nor Hai Han is willing to start an all-out war right now.Ming knew that he was invincible, and fighting with Haihan would only expedite the depletion of the remaining national power. Even if he could hold Haihan, armed groups like the Peasant Army would revive again when the domestic resources were exhausted. .
The reasons for Haihan’s reluctance to start a full-scale war are more complicated. After comprehensive consideration, the Executive Committee believes that the disadvantages of going to war outweigh the benefits, so it is more inclined to gradually disintegrate the Ming Dynasty through economic and cultural means while exerting military pressure. Authority, to complete the reception of the Ming Dynasty's ruling area in a relatively peaceful manner.
Through the armistice agreement, Daming won a buffer time for himself, so that he could continue to raise money and food, and drill the new army under the truce.Haihan, on the other hand, has obtained an orthodox status. Whether it is a peaceful transition or a handover by force in the future, it is justifiable to seize the world.
If the signs mentioned by Sun Bing are true, then in the foreseeable future, the two sides will likely return to a situation of military confrontation, and there may even be a risk of armed conflict breaking out.
But Beks was unmoved in the slightest. He believed that the purpose of the Northern Region to provide this information was very clear, which was to convince the Executive Committee of the necessity of expanding the armed forces.Otherwise, with Chen Yixin's influence in the northern region, how could he sit back and watch these unfriendly actions of Ming Dynasty in preparation for war? I am afraid that he has already exerted pressure on the Ming court through various channels.
"Military means are not the first choice to solve the problem. I want to know whether the northern region has issued a warning to the Ming court through formal diplomatic channels."
As a representative of the Executive Committee, Beks' position must remain consistent with that of the Executive Committee.If he encourages the escalation of confrontation in the northern region, it may attract other regions to follow suit, vying for various reasons to expand the local armed forces, and even take some foreign military actions on their own initiative.
Once the various regions have tasted the sweetness from it, it is likely that the situation of "the general will be outside, and the emperor's order will not be accepted" will occur frequently in the future, which will accelerate the formation of armed separatist regimes in overseas regions, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.
Chen Yixin made a gesture, and an adjutant next to him immediately handed over a document.
"This is the copy of the letter of inquiry I sent to Ming Ting at the beginning of the year, and Ming Ting's reply, you can take a look."
Bai Kesi took the document and looked it over. Chen Yixin's question in the official document was quite satisfactory. He asked why the Ming court strengthened the city defenses in many places around Shandong and prepared for war.But Ming Ting's reply was also concise and clear, which was to deny all of this.
"After that, the fortifications in these places have not stopped and are still going on, so I have reason to think that when we take over these areas in the future, we will encounter armed resistance." Chen Yixin added when he saw Beks put down the documents A few words.
Bai Kesi believed that Chen Yixin would not falsify the official documents, but he also noticed that when Chen Yixin raised the question, he did not emphasize how Haihan would respond to these actions.That is to say, Chen Yixin did not put enough pressure on the Ming court. Perhaps this is the reason why the Ming court dared to push this to the ground and refused to admit it.
Chen Yixin followed the procedures that should be followed, but did not make full use of diplomatic means. In Bai Kesi's opinion, he probably did it on purpose.Let the other party do things first, until the situation is clear, and then use force to punish them. In this way, whether it is building military projects or expanding the army, there are sufficient reasons.
Of course, in the absence of sufficient evidence, Bai Kesi will definitely not point it out, but just follow Chen Yixin's words and ask: "Then what do you think?"
Chen Yixin said solemnly: "I think it is necessary to take action at the right time to completely shatter the Ming court's unrealistic illusions, let it return to the negotiating table, honestly accept the conditions we offered, and stop doing unnecessary things. struggle."
Bex continued to ask, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Yixin said: "I'm going to choose one or two of these fortifications as targets, lead the army to attack, retreat as soon as the city is broken, as a warning. If the Ming court still does not want to repent and insists on going its own way, then take further measures."
Beks asked noncommittally: "Based on your experience in dealing with Ming Ting, can a slight punishment like this make them give up confrontation?"
Chen Yixin hesitated for a moment, but still responded calmly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Maybe we can only make the Ming court fully aware of the seriousness of the matter by putting on a bigger front."
Bai Kesi said: "Then I think you should have formulated a corresponding action plan, right? You might as well talk about it first and listen."
Chen Yixin stood up, and Sun Bing, who was standing next to the map on the wall, stepped back immediately to give him the seat.
Chen Yixin walked to the map, pointed to Bohai Bay and said, "The quickest way is to land from Tianjinwei and approach Shuntianfu. But doing so may cause the Ming court to misjudge the situation and really risk our lives. At that time, it may not be easy to clean up the situation.”
Haihan is not incapable of attacking Shuntian Mansion, or even conquering the capital, but it is still necessary to retain the Ming court at this stage, otherwise, once the Zhu dynasty is overthrown, and Haihan is unable to take over the power immediately, the leaderless dragons will inevitably lead to The world is in chaos.Maintaining the existence of the Ming court can at least keep the world stable, so that Haihan can take over the territory of Ming Dynasty as smoothly as possible.
According to the truce agreement between the two parties, Haihan promised not to deploy military forces in the territory of Shuntian Prefecture. Once he did so, it would probably not be regarded as an armed conflict that could be mediated, but Haihan was going to impose a heavy hand on Daming. Attack the capital directly.
This is not like trying to scare people in Shandong, and it is very likely to affect Haihan's layout of the general situation of the world.Even if Chen Yixin really had such a plan, he would still have to ask the Executive Committee for instructions first, and then take action only after obtaining approval.
