The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 253 Inferiority and Conceit

It was cold and windy outside, Li Hao sat in the palace, turning a deaf ear to the howling cold wind outside, all his thoughts were on Song Shilie in front of him.

I hope that my teacher can come up with a wonderful way for me to overcome the difficulties in front of me.

The soldiers and horses sent by Satsuma Fan were actually not many, but Li Hao was already scared to death.

After so many years of wandering life, he was full of fear of war.

The brazier in the palace was burning quietly, and the faint smell of coal was constantly wafting in the air.

Li Hao rubbed his nose, sneezed a few times, and then asked:

"I don't know how Master Song can teach me? On the surface, it seems that the Satsuma family sent troops, and no one knows whether there is any order from the Tokugawa family.

No one knows if it will turn into the entire Wa country sending troops. If that day really comes, then I am afraid that North Korea will be in danger! "

Song Shilie knelt and sat in front of Li Hao, with a face like a withered vine, he said a solution without hesitating for a long time.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the top priority should be to submit to Da Qin or Ming." Song Shilie said every word with great seriousness.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, with a lot of doubts on his face.

Speaking of which, he and North Korea where he is now should be the vassal state of Jiannu, because after Bingzi's rebellion, they surrendered to Jiannu.

No matter when, betrayal is always an unacceptable thing.

The current North Korea is not a vassal state of Daming, even if he ran to ask Daming for help, there was no need for them to answer him.

As for professing a vassal to Ming Dynasty again, whether people can agree to it is still up for debate. Seeing that there is still a big Qin in the north, North Korea is just a drag for the current Ming Dynasty.

If Li Hao is placed in this position, he will certainly not allow North Korea to come over and claim his vassal again.

Can Daming, who has lost half of his country, really vent his anger on North Korea?
But if they surrendered to Daqin, would these people care about them?
According to common sense, after Daqin defeated Jiannu, he should take the opportunity to go south and force North Korea to become a vassal.

But this situation did not happen. After taking Liaodong, they stopped at the banks of the Yalu River.

In Li Hao's view, Daqin's meaning is already obvious, that is, he looks down on North Korea.

Under the circumstances that people look down on him, if he sends someone to lick his face and surrender, will he accept it?Even if they can accept it, will they send troops again?

Not to mention, Jiannu has been oppressing North Korea for so many years, so that the country is exhausted and there is almost no profit.

Can people appreciate it?Such a poor country, I am afraid that others will look down on it.

In a short period of time, Li Hao thought of a lot.

It has to be said that he is very self-aware and very aware of North Korea's status.

"North Korea is just a small country with nothing, no valuable minerals, and no vast plains.

With many mountains and little land, it is already difficult enough to feed the people of the country. What use does the Great Qin want us to have?

Not to mention, we used to be with Jianu, and he already took care of us if he didn't settle accounts after the autumn. Now, is it appropriate to run over with a shy face? "

Li Hao showed bitterness on his face and kept shaking his head.

Song Shiye had a different view.

He said: "My lord, no matter what we do, we should give it a try. No matter what we do, it is better than just sitting still. Sending two parties to Da Ming or Da Qin, and doing both, maybe there will be other effects!
For the sake of the Korean people, I am willing to sacrifice my life to go to Daqin and Chang'an to relieve the danger of my country! "

"Since this is the case, this is the only way to go. I have wronged Aiqing!" Li Hao had no choice but to agree.

……

A turtle boat departed from the port west of Seoul and headed towards Liaodong.

In a hurry, we can only take a boat.

Song Shilie stood on the plywood of the turtle boat and looked to the north.

The vast sea, nothing can be seen.

With the cold wind, the ship was adrift on the sea.

If it weren't for the skill of the person who sailed the boat, I'm afraid it would have sunk to the bottom of the water long ago.

Suddenly, I felt that this ship was a bit like North Korea, floating alone on the sea, unable to withstand the turbulence of wind and waves.

North Korea, since its founding, has been like this ship.

If there is no problem in the Central Plains, then North Korea can also be safe and sound.

If there is turmoil in the Central Plains, North Korea cannot stay out of it.

"Oh, it's too close to the Central Plains, and too far from heaven! A small country with few people, what can I do, what can I do!"

Song Shilie kept shaking his head, feeling sad for a moment.

The dense fog on the sea will always clear, and the wind and waves will not last forever.

But North Korea's future is uncertain, and it will never know when it will be able to achieve long-term stability.

The ship that Song Shilie was on had not yet reached Liaodong, but when it was on the sea, it was discovered by soldiers stationed in Liaodong.

In front is Jinzhou Wei, which will be called Dalian in the future.

To the southwest, you will reach Shandong.

Song Shilie came to the deck, and the chill in the cold wind was much less.

Spring seems to be coming soon.

A small wooden boat appeared in Song Shilie's eyes.

On the topmost mast of the ship, a red flag was hung.

Looking at the huge sun and the two horizontal bars above, he knew that this was Sun Jie's warship.

Looking at all the followers behind him, he said: "Send the order, the flag is lowered and the sails are lowered, and everyone comes to the deck!"

Lowering the sails on the sea is almost like surrendering.

The ship on the sea was getting bigger and closer, and amidst Song Shilie's sighs, the ship came to the side.

Several iron hooks landed on the side of the boat, bringing the two ships together.

A dozen tall soldiers in armor jumped onto the boat he was on.

Looking at the tall elite soldiers in steel armor, Song Shilie was full of envy.

If North Korea can also have such elite soldiers and horses, it will not be afraid of Japan.

He also knew that this was his own wishful thinking. It was far from enough to feed such a small North Korea.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A soldier drew a knife from his waist and looked at Song Shilie.

Song Shilie's face was full of panic, for fear that these soldiers would chop him off if they disagreed.

He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, took out a surrender form from his arms, and held it high above his head.

"Heavenly soldiers above, North Korea is willing to worship!"

Song Shilie was extremely respectful and very careful in what he said.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, basically the upper class can speak Chinese, and they are also extremely fluent.

The soldier took the surrender form from him, opened it and looked at it.

"It's really interesting. If you don't surrender early, if you don't surrender later, you should surrender at this time. Is there something wrong in your heart?" The soldier looked at him jokingly.

Song Shilie was taken aback as if he had been told what was on his mind.

But on the surface, he still looked calm and said some compliments.

"In that case, let's go back first!"

After speaking, he asked his subordinates to check the ship where Song Shilie was on.

Apart from the broken iron knife that his entourage carried with him, there were no other weapons.

Also on board was Song Shiyeol's identity certificate, the complete North Korean official uniform, official seal, and Li Hao's imperial decree.

These things are not easy to fake, and their identities are naturally no problem.

After the inspection, Song Shilie's ship was towed back.

As soon as they arrived, the news was sent back to Chang'an by the local defenders through the radio.

Sun Jie also found out about this within a very short period of time.

"It's definitely not a good thing to come to surrender at this time!"

In the imperial study, Sun Jie looked at the military newspaper in his hand and said.

Lu Xiangsheng stood in front and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, North Korea must have encountered some kind of problem.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to proclaim himself a minister.This song Shi Liechen had also heard about it before. It is said that he is the teacher of the current king of Joseon. If such an important person came over, there must be something wrong! "

"Since he wants to come, let him come, it's not bad anyway!" Sun Jie said.

……

Sun Jie's order quickly spread to Jinzhou Wei, and Song Shilie and others were thrown into the truck and headed towards Chang'an.

Sitting in the middle of the truck compartment, Song Shilie carefully opened a gap in the tent covering the truck and looked outside.

The shock on his face could no longer be described in words, the beard on his chin trembled with his lips.

"What is this thing? How can there be such a powerful thing in the world?"

He screamed again and again.

The followers he brought basically had this expression.

They, who had never seen such a thing before, were naturally shocked when they saw it suddenly.

After the shock in my heart, I was more emotional.

Feel the strength of Sun Jie, feel the power of Sun Jie.

I feel more and more that this is the right time, maybe it can really solve the current crisis in North Korea.

Along the way, he suffered almost nothing.

That is to say, the distance from Liaodong to Beipingfu is relatively bumpy. After passing through Beiping, I walked on the wide cement road and felt comfortable all at once.

Because there is still an epidemic in Beiping Mansion, they did not stop in Beiping Mansion, and bypassed directly outside the city of Beiping Mansion.

Now the concrete road has been built from Chang'an to Beiping, and if there is no epidemic, it can be repaired to Liaodong this summer.

The speed of construction is really fast, and there are a lot of credits for building slaves and captives.

The truck was driving on the smooth concrete road, and Song Shilie sat in the compartment, unable to feel any bumps.

"It would be great if this miraculous thing could appear in North Korea!"

An unrealistic idea suddenly flashed in my heart, and then quickly dissipated.

"Such a precious thing must be a heavy weapon in the military. Even if you give me a few North Koreans, you may not be able to afford it!"

Song Shilie laughed at himself.

In fact, the cost of a wood fired truck is ridiculously low.

The cost of raising an ordinary horse is hundreds of taels of silver throughout the year. If it is a war horse, it will only be higher.

If there is a consignment task, the cost on the road will continue to rise.

The distance is long, and the fodder for the horses can even exceed the value of the goods carried.

The wood-burning car is different, that is, it costs some money when you buy it, and the cost will be spread equally every day in the future use process.

Trucks don't eat grass, so naturally they can't talk about consumption.

As long as you have firewood or charcoal, you can keep running.

These things do not take time, and the cost is much lower than the forage that horses eat.

The quality of these wood-fired cars is very good, and with no electronic equipment, the failure rate is very low.

Even if there is a problem, the repair cost is very low.

Unlike horses, if something goes wrong, you have to go to a veterinarian, and the mortality rate is extremely high.

If you die of illness without using it a few times, the cost will be even higher.

Not to mention, ordinary horses are far behind in terms of speed and capacity.

Taken together, the cost of using a wood-burning car is far lower than that of a horse.

After the car passed Tongguan, the scenery outside suddenly changed.

On both sides of the wide road are neat farmlands. Although the ice and snow on it have not yet melted, Song Shilie is envious of the flat and well-organized planning.

"It's still not comparable. The place is too big. It's so big that it's scary. Even if it's only half of the country, it's far from what North Korea can compare!" Song Shiye said with emotion.

Those attendants who were in the same car with him, they came all the way so quietly.

Entering the territory of Daqin, they feel more and more that they are some bumpkins.

A deep sense of inferiority rose spontaneously from my heart.

These attendants looked at the farmland outside the car with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

A strong inferiority complex often leads to a strong self-esteem.

If they have been living in the well, they will not have much inferiority complex or conceit.

But when they were fished out of the well and knew how big the sky was, the deep inferiority and conceit could not dissipate in their hearts for a long time.

After entering Chang'an City, they thought they had come to heaven.

Tall buildings, wide streets, rich people.

Before they set off, they wore the silk and satin that Li Hao rewarded them.

It means not to embarrass them by being too shabby outside.

Even so, the clothes on them are far inferior to those of these common people.

Regardless of the style or the vividness of the tie-dyeing color, it is far behind.

Inferiority began to surface on the face again.

Even Song Shilie, who was well educated and well educated in poetry and books, still felt inferior.

The car stopped outside the gate of Daqin Post House. This luxurious and tall building shocked them again.

The building in front of them is even more luxurious than their palace.

There are mixed feelings in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable.

Although he hadn't said anything, he could still see the sour energy at a glance.

The steward of the post house took several followers and led them into the hall.

No room yet, so let them sit in the lobby for a while.

The layout of the lobby is similar to that of a modern hotel, with more than a dozen tables and chairs inside.

The steward held a thick book and flipped through it behind the counter.

He casually asked: "I heard that you are from North Korea? Do you have any unusual things in North Korea? I heard that the Korean ginseng in your place is good!"

Song Shilie was speechless.

The faces of the attendants behind him turned pale.

The steward's casual question made them think it was mocking them.

"North Korea, I haven't heard of this name for a long time. Are you here this time, is there something wrong?" The manager asked casually again.

Song Shilie was speechless again.

A soldier behind him couldn't take it anymore.

He shouted: "Our General Yi Sun-sin back then made great achievements in battle. He threw away his helmet and unarmored the Japanese pirates. He was fierce and powerful..."

All kinds of flattery flowed out of his mouth.

The steward stopped what he was doing, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Li Shunchen? Is that the one who couldn't even get into Li Rusong's tent?
I remember that this guy seemed to be slapped several times by Li Rusong in front of the soldiers of the three armies because of something?
He's not that powerful. Could it be that we're not talking about the same person? "

The follower's face turned into a liver color.
