Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 545 Your Majesty, We Have To Exterminate Them
"My lord, North Korea has been destroyed!" Cao Wentai dismounted and walked in front of Liu Hongjian and said urgently in a low voice.

"Little Cao, are you kidding me? Stop talking nonsense, what is the emperor looking for me for?" Liu Hongjian patted Cao Wentai on the shoulder and laughed.

North Korea is a small country, but its population is more than seven million. Although the fighting power of the soldiers is comparable to that of the guards, the location is so good!

Except for a considerable part of the border with Ming Dynasty, the rest is the natural barrier of Changbai Mountain, and the other three sides are oceans.

If foreign enemies want to attack North Korea, they must either play a landing battle from the sea, or they must cross the natural moat of Changbai Mountain. Hehe, since it is a natural moat, how can it be so easy.

"My lord, how dare you make fun of important military and state affairs in a humble position!" Seeing that Liu Hongjian didn't take it seriously, Cao Wentai immediately became anxious.

"Dongchang reported that more than ten years ago, the remnants of the slaves and the Raksha State joined forces to cross the Changbai Mountains to attack North Korea. North Korea was caught off guard and was captured in only five days. Its whereabouts are unknown, it is likely..."

"I'm second!" Liu Hongjian was horrified when he saw Cao Wentai's seriousness.

The first thought that popped into his mind was that the laughing uncle Li Ji still owed him 10 taels of silver from the Ordnance Department. What the hell, if that was the case, who would this king ask for the money?
Daishan is a dog that can really make a fuss, Rakshasa?Bear?The wings are hardened!

"Let's go, let's go to the palace." Liu Hongjian got on his horse without any hesitation, and with a shout, hundreds of guards rushed towards the capital.

Let's say that after the cabinet learned that the North Korean country was destroyed by the remnants of slavery, they immediately beat their chests and went to the Qianqing Palace together.

Their purpose is only one, to avenge their little brother?Oh, no, it is to persuade Chongzhen to take a long-term view. The so-called long-term plan is just a trick.

The reason is very simple. The past is a guide for the future. The three Wanli campaigns exhausted the last bit of blood of Ming Dynasty, especially the Korean War, one of the three major campaigns, which cost no less than tens of millions of taels of silver in eight years.

Daming's fiscal revenue was already pitifully low, Zhang Juzheng's family fortune left over from his reforms was squandered, and he even lost his underpants.

So that later, the treasury ran away with rats, and the court was so poor that it couldn't even deal with the refugees in the country.

The cabinet knew very well that Emperor Chongzhen had a good face, and when they heard the news, they would definitely send troops out of the pass to restore Korea to the country. As for who they could send, who else they could think of with their toes.

The courtiers were not jealous of Liu Hongjian's outstanding achievements, but because Liu Hongjian spent money in wars, and the amount of money spent was enough to make the world astonished. This is one of them.

After several years of various ups and downs, the Ming Dynasty finally calmed down. Now it is time to recuperate and wait for prosperity. Officials and common people are tired of swords and soldiers, and the people feel at ease. This is the second.

North Korea is located in the northeast. Since the Ming Dynasty dispatched troops, it had to cross several wide rivers including the Yalu River, and its supply line would be very long. The Ming Dynasty suffered from a lack of food and rice in successive years of catastrophe. This is the third.

Including Li Banghua, the chief assistant of the cabinet, almost all the courtiers overwhelmingly proposed that Ming should stand still, rest and recuperate, and make long-term plans in the future.

Zhu Cihong, who supervised the country on behalf of his father, had never experienced such a major event, so he even invited out the gray-haired Chongzhen.

Chongzhen naturally knew the worries of the courtiers, in fact, he himself was also worried.

In good conscience, for 300 years, North Korea has been the most respected and obedient vassal state to Ming Dynasty. It has always been Daming who said that North Korea would never go east if it went west.

Dingmao's rebellion and Bingzi's recklessness led to repeated massacres of the Korean state. As the suzerain state, Chongzhen had already felt bad, but the mere remnants of slavery slapped the Ming Dynasty in the face.

When Chongzhen first heard the news, he felt hot on his face, but the courtiers' concerns were not unreasonable.

In the past two years, although Liu Hongjian, the king of Anguo County, has won countless battles with his troops, after several wars, he only sent out no less than 5000 million taels of compensation and silver rewards.

The whole nation of Ming Dynasty thinks of stability, and the people's hearts must be considered, not to mention that there is a Raksha country behind Daishan?

Chongzhen thought over and over again and did not listen to the opinions of the courtiers, nor was he in a hurry to issue an order. He only said that everything would be discussed after the king of Anguo County came.

Fan Jingwen, the second assistant, became furious when he heard it, and thought that when the King of Anguo came, he would definitely send troops according to his temperament. Fan Jingwen, Fang Yuegong and others immediately bowed down and shouted that Chongzhen should put state affairs first Hotheaded.

Chongzhen pretended to be unwell and waved his hands to signal his appearance before discussing, was he acting out of passion?Hehe, how could Chongzhen not know who this sentence was addressed to.

When Liu Hongjian rushed from Tianjin without stopping, the sky was already dark.

Liu Hongjian's buttocks were nearly broken into four petals by the war horse after repeated trips, but in an emergency, he insisted on entering the palace with his legs trembling and numb.

"Your Majesty, Jianu is jumping up and down again, we have to kill them." Liu Hongjian immediately cut to the chase when he saw Chongzhen.

The fact that Daishan escaped from the Battle of Hetuala has always made Liu Hongjian grieve. For a year, he has also made Northeast Governor Feng Dunhou pay close attention to Daishan, who slipped through the net.

But the Changbai Mountains are really too deep, and the Allied Forces are not good at fighting in the mountains. In addition, the Jiannu Tartars have made their fortunes between the white mountains and the black waters, and the mountains are their home field. Less than the main force.

Along the way, Liu Hongjian became more and more angry. If the tiger doesn't show off his power, you will be the king of Hello Kitty?

"You Ming, don't be impatient, this matter still needs to be discussed, and we will make a decision after the cabinet ministers come." Chongzhen appeased Liu Hongjian, and then explained to him the concerns of the courtiers and his own views.

Half an hour later, cabinet members arrived one after another, and Li Banghua, who had been firmly supporting Liu Hongjian, glanced at him, shook his head slightly and sighed.

"My colleagues, do you not agree to go to war to quell the chaos?" Liu Hongjian knew that this group of uncles were also thinking about state affairs, so their words were not too domineering.

"Yes, my lord, we believe that the most important thing in Ming Dynasty is to stabilize the people's hearts and keep a low profile. For the sake of the court and the people of the world, we all believe that the army should not move rashly." Li Banghua lowered his head and expressed their decision on behalf of the cabinet.

If it's just the remnants of slavery, it's okay to say, according to the news from the cabinet's investigation, Luocha Kingdom is not easy to provoke, if it really fights, it may be another protracted war, there are Zheng Zhilong in the southeast, Daming... Get up!

"My lords, you all know that I don't understand Confucianism, and even the emperor has advised me to read more classics and history, but even if I have a little taste, I know that its essence is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith."

Liu Hongjian's speech was slow and his voice was not high, but several cabinet ministers including Li Banghua and Fan Jingwen blushed.
