Chapter 527: Implementation(2/2)
After all, the fifty thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are the biggest trump card of Liu Sheng and others. Once the table is turned, Annan will not be able to resist.
Not to mention other places, at least the royal capital will definitely fall.
At present, all the generals in Annan also have their own ideas. Once the royal capital falls, it will be extremely difficult to gather strength to deal with the 50,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
The key point is that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were in the name of protecting the royal family, which left ministers like Hu Ji Yao with a lot less room to play.
After realizing something was wrong, Hu Jiyou immediately coughed a few times, which could be regarded as a greeting to the officials under his command. No matter what happened later, he would try his best to stop it.
Sure enough, after the normal process was completed.
Chen Yongbian, the Supreme Emperor of Annan, stood up and said in the main hall: "I, the Annan Kingdom, have belonged to the Central Plains since the beginning of the Central Plains Dynasty."
"The First Emperor has decreed that the carriages run on the same track and the writings have the same text. Therefore, our Annan country has been using Chinese characters for thousands of years."
"During the period of chaos in the Central Plains, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were established, and the Annan Kingdom was established alone."
"However, even after the founding of the country, Wu'an Nan Kingdom has always been a tributary state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it continues to this day."
"Now there is the Ming Dynasty, which is strong and prosperous. It has driven out the Tartars and restored the unity of the Central Plains."
"I shall belong to the southern kingdom of Annan."
"Nowadays, in our country of Annan, the character Nan is used up and down, and the inherited Chinese characters are gradually becoming desolate. This is our misfortune."
"I am now negotiating with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. I am issuing an edict today. From now on, the word "Nan" will be abolished. It is strictly forbidden for any word "Nan" to appear again in the country of Annan. From now on, the upper and lower parts will be unified and the Chinese characters will be used."
"If anyone is found to have used the word "Nan" for private purposes, he will be dealt with strictly. General Wei Xing of the Ming Dynasty and Supervisor Liu Sheng will be invited to jointly monitor the situation. If anyone is found to have used the word "Nan" for private purposes, he has the right to deal with it himself.
"I hope that my Annan subjects will encourage each other."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Annan court held their breath.
Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows, but then calmed down.
This Grand Emperor Annan was somewhat cunning. In his words, he was saying that he seemed to have been coerced by the Ming Dynasty.
However, being able to reach this level already makes Liu Sheng extremely satisfied.
On Hu Jiya's side, after being stunned for a few seconds, he immediately stepped forward a few steps below the steps, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this edict is absolutely unacceptable!"
"The word "Nam" has been popular in our country for hundreds of years. Our subjects have learned it since childhood. If it suddenly changes and no one gets used to it, it will definitely cause turmoil in our country."
Following Hu Jiya's lead, other ministers also took the lead in kowtowing and saying words of comfort.
Even those who want to remain neutral in their hearts or are indifferent will naturally have no choice but to obey when they see such a situation.
Everyone knows the importance of the word Nom to Annan, which is the standard for national independence.
If it were true that all countries would implement Chinese characters, wouldn’t they become completely dependent states of the Central Plains Dynasty in the future?
Moreover, the development of the Nom character has become very mature, and many unique literary works written in the Nom character are also valuable assets of the Annan people.
This means that all the word "Num" should be banned.
And for some ministers, their lifelong study is based on the word "Nam". Many ministers have successfully entered official careers because of the word "Nam".
This is tantamount to destroying the foundation of their career.
Once the word "Nam" is cancelled, it means that they have to learn Chinese characters again. How can some old Annan officials still have the energy.
Faced with this situation, Chen Yong looked very angry, but there was a hint of secret joy deep in his eyes.
He would have expected such a situation to happen, and his angry face could be said to be staged for Liu Sheng and other Han people to see.
I have issued an edict, but if everyone opposes it, there is nothing I can do.
Chen Yong smiled in his heart, and then looked at Liu Sheng and Zhao Yuanhong with troubled eyes.
The general meaning is that I have now accomplished what you asked me to do, but I cannot control what happens next, so I will let you deal with it.
If it doesn't work out, it's not my fault.
