They only had a few taels of silver a month, barely enough to buy His Royal Highness Prince Rui a cup of tea. Yet, they risked their lives to fight the enemy? Why?
Because they also have beliefs and people they want to protect. For these beliefs and the people they want to protect, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.
Their willingness is one thing, but as a general, I would never joke with the lives of my soldiers. To save even one soldier, I'd even sacrifice my own life. Your Highness, Prince Rui, you won't understand this sentiment.
Now that General Pei and his 500,000-man army are surrounded, I can't wait to rush to the battlefield to rescue General Pei. Only by truly conquering Dongxiang can they prevent repeated attempts to invade South Vietnam in the future. Only by completely suppressing them with force can we put an end to them once and for all.
"I'm not at home feeling bad about the little gold South Vietnam got. For the sake of our soldiers' lives, I wouldn't mind giving that mountain of gold to Dongxiang. But if we give in today and bribe them with money, once Dongxiang gets a taste of the sweetness, our soldiers on the border will be harassed like this for a long time and will never have peace."
After that, he clasped his fists towards Qian Yeming and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that apart from the Northern Wei, the military strength of our Nanyue is no worse than that of any other country, especially Dongxiang. You should know that Dongxiang's military strength has always been ranked below that of our Nanyue.
If Nanyue yields this time, it will immediately fall to last place in the Kyushu Continent. The Emperor is a rare wise ruler who will lead Nanyue to glory in the future. He certainly does not want to see Nanyue ranked last in the Kyushu Continent.
The gold mine was originally lost by Dongfang Ming to my South Vietnam. Now he has disregarded the agreement reached by the six-nation chamber of commerce and unilaterally launched an army, deliberately provoking a war. This is unacceptable. If my South Vietnam continues to avoid it, it will be disadvantageous in the future!
"General Chai, weren't you just saying you were afraid of the soldiers' sacrifice? If you're afraid of the soldiers' sacrifice, why do you have to fight with Dongxiang at this time? Even if you lead the troops to fight now, it won't be as fast as immediately agreeing to Dongxiang and avoiding this war.
Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, everything is still unstable. What I just said is just a delaying tactic. Once South Vietnam has truly recovered, it will not be too late to fight Dongxiang."
Chai Jing scoffed at Qian Ye Ze's words.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, as I've said before, you've never been on the battlefield, so you don't know. If we surrender today without a fight, the South Vietnamese border will face more harassment and threats, and more soldiers and civilians will be sacrificed.
Since soldiers have joined the army, it is their bounden duty to defend their country. Soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, they are afraid of sacrificing in vain!
The battle is raging on ahead, and both sides are bound to suffer casualties. If we fail to pursue our victory and instead surrender, the lives of the soldiers who have already died will have been in vain. Your Highness, Prince Rui, don't you understand this simple truth?"
Qian Yeze was furious. Although he didn't know what Chai Jing was planning, since he had already surrendered to his second brother, he could only rely on him. If his second brother's imperial power was in danger, his fate would definitely not be good.
