please make me king

Since the rebel army captured Dengzhou and Shuicheng successively on November [-], the news quickly spread to Qingzhou.

Zhu Dadian, governor of Water Transport and governor of Fengyang, was so shocked that he couldn't help withdrawing from Qingzhou with King Heng, and retreated to Zhucheng and Rizhao.

Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang took the opportunity to march east and west, and successively captured the vast areas of Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou.

Hong Chengchou also took the opportunity to go south to capture Yanzhou and confront Liu Liangzuo who was stationed in Xuzhou.

Therefore, the two sides took Mount Tai and Mount Xinmeng as the boundary, and temporarily formed a stalemate from east to west.

Taking advantage of this gap, Huang Sunmao, the new admiral of the Denglai Navy, couldn't help but personally rushed to the capital to meet with Zhang Shun and put forward a suggestion of "contacting the vassal states".

"Unite Korea in the east and attack the Tartars in the west?" Zhang Shun couldn't help repeating after hearing the words.

"Yes, the Dongjiang River is isolated, and has been attacked repeatedly by the Eastern Captives. He is already exhausted and unable to move." Huang Sunmao couldn't help explaining.

"If you order it to go east, you may have more heart than strength."

"As for North Korea, which belongs to the Celestial Dynasty, it is only intimidated by the military power of the eastern captives, so it has no choice but to make false claims."

"If we can regain North Korea's support and send troops to the east, we will definitely let the Dong captives not take care of both ends!"

It turns out that although Huang Sunmao's position is not very high, he is a capable official.

He not only held the post of military preparation in Qingdenglai for many years, but also went to North Korea during the reign of Tianqi, so he has a lot of insight into the situation in Liaodong.

Today's Dongjiang Town has gone through several battles, and its vitality has already been severely damaged. Shen Shikui has only a few thousand soldiers left, which is better than nothing.

Although Hou Jin couldn't eat him for a while, he was temporarily unable to fight back Hou Jin.

North Korea is different. Although it suffered two crusades by the Houjin Dynasty and also lost soldiers and generals, the camel was still bigger than the horse.

If it can be reversed, even if there is no army, just cutting off the trade and tribute with Houjin will be enough to cause great economic pressure on the beleaguered Houjin.

Not to mention, according to the influence of the Ming Dynasty on North Korea, it can also mobilize its troops to attack from the direction of Yizhou, which can further involve Houjin's troops.

"Mobilize North Korean soldiers? Can this be done?" Zhang Shun frowned when he heard the words.

Influenced by the concepts of his previous life, Zhang Shun's cognition of North Korea, a vassal state, still stays on the stereotype of "I will give you a title, and you will submit to me in name".

As for mobilizing other people's soldiers and horses, this is something he can't imagine.

"Why not?" Huang Sunmao looked at Zhang Shun strangely and couldn't help explaining.

"North Korea is a vassal state of our celestial dynasty, so naturally it has the obligation to conscript."

"At the beginning, when Yang Gao conquered the Eastern Captives, the imperial court conscripted 3000 soldiers from the Third Battalion of North Korean Gunners. Marshal Jiang Hongli of the Korean capital and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui led the three battalions of 3000 soldiers and horses to cross the river from Changcheng to attack the Eastern Captives. .”

"In the past, during the campaign to aid the DPRK, the imperial court also discussed the use of Ryukyu and Siamese soldiers. What's the point of this?"

Hearing what Huang Sunmao said, Zhang Shun called him a good guy.

In his previous life, he was used to hearing the history of China's humiliation, and he always thought that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, his family had been a doormat since ancient times.

It never occurred to me that even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was still a "great power".

For things like war, the Ming Dynasty could actually mobilize vassal states thousands of miles away to join the war with a single edict.

Of course, it was precisely because of this cognitive limitation that Zhang Shun did not further contact North Korea to contain Hou Jin.

"Then...Admiral Huang thinks, what percentage of his visit to North Korea will he get?" Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, and asked involuntarily.

"The tenth floor, I don't dare to guarantee it. If you say that you are sure about the seventh or eighth floor, you still have it!" Huang Sunmao replied with a smile.

"For one thing, the North Korean country was originally a vassal of our country. It has admired Wang Hua for a long time, so it must be ashamed to be attached to the barbarians."

"Secondly, the Eastern Captives have been troubled by North Korea since ancient times. Their tyrannical government and frequent humiliation will naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of North Korea."

"By taking advantage of His Royal Highness Huwei's power in this trip, I will definitely be able to convince the North Korean monarch and minister to change their minds!"

"In this way, this king will give you a thousand elites, dispatch a boat-sealing warship as the flagship, and choose another hundred ships of different sizes, from Denglai to Tianjin, from Tianjin to Lushun, from Lushun to Dongjiang, and then turn to North Korea. " Zhang Shun pondered for a while when he heard the words, and couldn't help but make up his mind.

"Its purpose is threefold, one is to promote the prestige of our country, so that the people and vassals along the way know the strength of our navy."

"The second is to explore the channel. I know that this route is dangerous."

"Trade through three days, resume maritime trade as soon as possible."

"The fourth is to set up a port. I also ask Admiral Huang to carefully inspect these ports and divide them into trade markets for merchants."

"This..." Huang Sunmao was stunned when he heard the words.

Although he is not Wu Yanzhong, he has also served as Denglai's deputy envoy for many years, so he naturally knows a lot about the trade between Denglai, Dongjiang, North Korea and even Houjin, and even the lucrative profits.

Huang Sunmao couldn't help but tentatively said: "Your Highness, most of this kind of trade is cloth, grain, ginseng, fur, and medicinal materials."

"If this is the case, I am afraid that the cloth and grain from the Central Plains will flow into the hands of the Eastern captives through the hands of the Koreans!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Shun frowned and asked involuntarily.

"Your Highness, please!" Huang Sunmao hurriedly reported, "The poor and the poor in North Korea have always traded with linen, ginseng, fur, and medicinal materials to return China's brocade and food."

"However, the barrenness of the eastern captives is even worse, and ginseng, fur and medicinal materials are even worse."

"Therefore, when there is trade, it is often from the Eastern captives to North Korea, and from North Korea to China. In the final analysis, North Korea is nothing more than a barbarian!"

To put it bluntly, it was the trade between North Korea and Ming Dynasty, mainly using special products such as ginseng, fur, and medicinal materials in exchange for Ming Dynasty cloth and grain.

Then the production of ginseng, fur and medicinal materials in Jin State is more than that of North Korea, and the quality is better than that of North Korea.

Therefore, the trade between North Korea and Ming Dynasty is actually the resale trade between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty.

In this way, Houjin can use the gold and silver and other valuables robbed from Ming Dynasty to exchange for enough supplies through North Korea to maintain its poor economy.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun suddenly felt that the matter became tricky after hearing Huang Sunmao's words.

Previously, Wu Yanzhong advocated the sea ban, but now Huang Sunmao also opposes the opening of the sea, presumably there must be huge benefits in it.

If there are huge interests, there will naturally be huge interest groups.

Although he is now under one person and over ten thousand people, he can't do everything by himself. If that's the case, he can't be in a hurry after seeing this matter.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, if Admiral Huang hadn't reminded me, I would still be in the dark."

"Since this is the case, let's not mention this matter for the time being, and ask Admiral Huang to go to North Korea as soon as possible to show our country's prestige!"

"Your Highness is a true sage and enlightened king, how dare you refuse to die!" Seeing Zhang Shun's change of heart, Huang Sunmao was overjoyed and quickly flattered him.

The two flattered each other, and Huang Sunmao left Shi Shiran.

But as soon as Huang Sunmao left, the girls came out from behind the screen.

"Your Highness, this person's words are flashing, and his words cannot be trusted!" Natian Xiuying said first.

"Why doesn't this king know?" Zhang Shun let out a long sigh, and then ordered, "In a while, you will draft an imperial edict for me, saying that the palace is empty after the war, and His Majesty ordered the vicinity of the capital to select beautiful girls and supervisors. There are also [-] eunuchs each."

"The age must be between thirteen and fifteen, and orphans should be given priority."

As the saying goes: It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Zhu Di violated the precepts of his ancestors and began to appoint eunuchs wantonly.
