Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216

North Korea is a Confucian country that respects literature, especially the founding monarch was a military general who seized power in a coup, so he also learned from the Song Dynasty's line of emphasizing literature over military affairs.

Sanzhi Island is located in the southern waters of the Korean Peninsula. If too many troops are dispatched, it is easy for warlords to become self-reliant, but if too few troops are dispatched, it is not conducive to the government to control barbarians.

As far as the rulers are concerned, it is natural that they do not want the warlords to stand on their own, so the past dynasties of Jeju Mushou will not have too much military power.

Just like this, although a large army was sent to successfully crusade against Muhu a hundred years ago, the power of Muhu has remained, and even the aboriginal residents of Tamna have been multiplying to this day.

The current Jeju Shepherd Li Zhunbin is an ambitious official. After taking office, he aimed at the remaining forces on the island, trying to get rid of all Tamna natives, Mongolian survivors and Chinese survivors.

Now that the Ming army suddenly entered Canzhi Island, he couldn't help but make wishful thinking in his heart.

Since my own army can't wipe out Muhu and other forces, why not use this Ming army to help me and completely clean up those alien races?
Li Zhunbin knew that as long as he got this matter done, he would not only be a glorious lintel, but also return to the capital to take up an important position with this achievement.

He hummed a little song, the little lady's skin was so tender last night that her feet were still a little unsteady, so she leaned on the aisle in front of the house to rest.

"Master Mushou!" Two yamen servants walked in from the courtyard door, looking uneasy.

Li Zhunbin glanced at the two confidantes with knives, frowned and asked, "Didn't I ask you to pick up someone today, why did you come back empty-handed?"

"We have already escorted people out of the city, but they were intercepted by the Ming army!" A young man with a mole on his face explained with a sad face.

Li Zhunbin frowned slightly, and said to himself in confusion: "Which song is Li Jiguang singing? Did he think that the woman who slept with me slept for nothing?"

"Master Mushou, it seems that this matter was not done by Li Jiguang, but by the order of the new governor!" Another young man who looked smart explained.

Immediately, Li Zhunbin cheered up, raised his head and asked for confirmation: "Is the governor of Ming Dynasty here?"

Although he took Li Jiguang down with some tricks, Li Jiguang was only Daming's negotiator after all, and the real speaker was actually the governor who was about to be entrusted.

"Yes, their governor is here, and we took a sneak peek, that governor is still very young!" The young man with a mole on his face nodded hurriedly.

Li Zhunbin stood up abruptly, and then gave an order: "Hurry up, get your horse ready, and call Jin Meier, I want to meet the Governor in person!"

Daming City, Governor's Mansion.

Xu Shiying was drinking tea here, and after learning what happened to the Nanshan tribe, he asked Chen Shan to go and snatch the man back, and now the man has been sent to him.

The son of the chief of the Nanshan Tribe was a sturdy young man with his upper body and feet bare, with dissatisfaction and anger written all over his face.

Xu Shiying looked at this young aborigine with great interest, and asked slowly, "I am the new governor of the East China Sea from Ming Dynasty. What's your name?"

"My Daming name is Liu Han!" Liu Han replied in blunt Chinese, his skin was very tanned.

Xu Shiying picked up the steaming teacup, nodded slightly and said, "Liu Han? That's a good name!"

"Your actions this time are not authentic, you can kill or cut as you like!" Liu Han raised his chin slightly, showing no fear of life and death.

Xu Shiying is still a member of the generals in essence, and he found this young man to be somewhat interesting. This courage alone is much stronger than many people.

Just as he was about to speak, a dark shadow flashed through the door.

Li Jiguang, who was wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, seemed in a hurry. When he broke into this place, he complained, "My lord governor, why did you intercept him?"

Chen Shan frowned slightly when he saw Li Jiguang barging in without notice.

Xu Shiying took a sip of the slightly hot tea, but asked back calmly, "What's the matter? Master Li, can't this governor take him back?"

"No! It's just that you can't explain this to Jeju Mushou!" Li Jiguang shook his head hastily, and pointed out the harm seriously.

Xu Shiying's eyes immediately flashed with anger, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Confession? Mr. Li, have you forgotten which dynasty's salary you were on?"

Although he knew that civil servants were weak, he never thought that they were so weak.

At best, a small Jeju shepherd corresponds to the prefect of Qiongzhou on Qiongzhou Island, but this person even considers the reaction of the Jezhou shepherd when he does things. He simply wants to embarrass Daming.

"Governor, you have misunderstood the meaning of the official! We are newcomers now, and we should establish a good relationship with the North Korean side, and now sending people there will help us live in harmony!" Li Jiguang felt Xu Shiying's anger, and he felt sorry for his words and deeds explained.

Xu Shiying brought the last sip of tea to his mouth, and asked with a smile on his face, "Master Li, are you really thinking of my Daming?"

"Your Excellency, the lower officials are ministers of Daming, so they are naturally thinking of Daming!" Li Jiguang expressed his position as a matter of course.

Xu Shiying drank the last sip of tea, looked him in the eyes and said, "Master Li, do you still want to persuade the governor to send troops to help Jizhou Mushou to exterminate the gang of Hu Mu in Hanna Mountain?"

"Uh... I originally wanted to say it later, but since the governor has already mentioned it, let's say it now! Those Hu Mus are a worry in North Korea's heart, and they will also threaten the safety of our resident in the future, so I beg you Your Excellency Governor sent troops to wipe out that group of Hu Mu!" Li Jiguang expressed his position with a serious look.

Xu Shiying put down the teacup lightly, and said with a cold face: "So, it is said that you received bribes from Jeju Mushou, and this is true!"

Chen Shan kept staring at Li Jiguang. If he hadn't known the real face of this person in advance, he would have been deceived by his appearance of worrying about the country and the people.

"Governor, is this Liu Yuyu's plan to trap an official? I have been in office for nearly [-] years, and I have always been a clean-spirited and clean official. It is absolutely impossible for me to commit corruption and pervert the law!" Li Jiguang was stunned for a moment, and then called out Unjustly honest.

At this time, Huo Guangming, a thousand households of Donghaiwei, strode in from the outside, and then threw a bag of gold, silver and jewelry directly in front of Li Jiguang and said, "Master Li, I found this in your residence. Do you still want to quibble?"

The bag of gold, silver and jewels fell on the ground, and there was an aura of jewels and jewels immediately radiating from it.

When Li Jiguang saw the gold, silver and jewels scattered on the ground, his legs softened and he fell to the ground, but he knew that his affairs had been discovered.

Originally, he also wanted to be a negotiating official honestly, but the woman pushed by Li Zhunbin was too fragrant, and he gave too much gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Jiguang knew that his greedy behavior could be big or small, so he immediately crawled over and hugged Xu Shiying's leg to express his loyalty: "Your Majesty, please spare me! I am willing to give you all the gold and silver, and I will obey you in the future. Please forgive me this time!"

As she spoke, she cried like pear blossoms and rain, looking so sad.

Liu Han watched this scene from the side, and seeing the Ming official who ordered him to be tied up suddenly became so embarrassed, he couldn't help but secretly relieved himself.

Naturally, Xu Shiying couldn't be moved, and this kind of literati couldn't really be loyal to him, so he said expressionlessly: "Didn't you just say that the official integrity is like water? Come on, drag it down, and lock it up first!"

"Yes!" Huo Guangming led others forward, and Dang even forcibly dragged Li Jiguang down the road.

Seeing Xu Shiying's ruthlessness, Li Jiguang said angrily, "Xu Shiying, let's wait and see, the old man is not without support in the capital!"

Xu Shiying didn't take Li Jiguang's threat to heart at all, and turned his eyes back to Liu Han and said, "This governor will not kill you! This time I surprised you, what do you want as compensation?"

"Anything you want?" Liu Han's eyes lighted up slightly, and he even asked.

Xu Shiying realized that she couldn't give everything, so she said vigilantly: "It depends on what you want!"

"I want one of your knives!" Liu Han pointed to the knives at Chen Shan's waist, and Dang even boldly asked for it.

Although their Nanshan tribe was brave enough to die, they had very limited iron weapons, not to mention using them to deal with North Korean officers and soldiers, even for hunting on weekdays.

"Presumptuous, how can you want this knife?" Chen Shandang stretched out his hand to protect his waist knife, and immediately reprimanded loudly.

"Is it really not possible?" Liu Han's eyes disappeared, looking disappointed.

Xu Shiying hesitated for a while, and then expressed his position: "You can give it to you, but you can't use it against us Daming people. Can you do it?"

"Okay, I can swear in the name of the Nanshan Tribe that I will never use it against you Han people!" Liu Han readily agreed, and raised his hand to swear seriously.

Xu Shiying naturally knew that sabers are military supplies, but in fact they should not be supplied to the Yi people.

It's just that a knife is nothing at all. At most, this knife can increase the self-defense ability of the Nanshan tribe, not to mention that the Nanshan tribe is not Mongolian after all.

Taking a ten thousand step back, the real headache is actually the officers and soldiers of North Korea, and has nothing to do with the East China Sea Governor's Mansion that he leads, not to mention that the [-] elite soldiers he has are enough to sweep the entire Canzhi Island.

Liu Han happily left with a Ming saber, and Liu Zhongyu came here.

Liu Yuyu originally thought that Xu Shiying and Li Jiguang were together, but now he realized that he guessed wrong, so he walked in and asked, "Master Governor, you have arrested Li Jiguang!"

"Master Liu, what's the problem?" Xu Shiying, who had already integrated into the role of Governor of the East China Sea, asked back calmly.

Liu Yuyu didn't expect the matter to be true, so he asked seriously, "I don't know how you plan to deal with it?"

"Ordinarily, he should be escorted back to the capital to await trial, but he just claimed that the capital has a backer, and the governor needs to stand up now, so the governor decided to kill him directly!" Xu Shiying said the decision in his heart.

Liu Yuyu's eyes couldn't help but stare, and he reminded seriously: "This...isn't very good! If you kill someone, there may be criticism in the capital, and Li Jiguang has a lot of contacts in the capital!"

"The governor is here to do things! The cotton cloth and supplies are the priority. The crimes committed by Li Jiguang will be executed after all. Now beheading here will help alert others, why not?" Xu Xu Shiying did not forget her duty, so she asked seriously.

Liu Yuyu nodded slightly in recognition of Xu Shiying's approach, and said with emotion: "The imperial court spent so much effort to build the city here, and it really needs to be exchanged for some rewards!"

"The governor heard that you not only have a good relationship with the Nanshan tribe, but also have contacts with the Muhu? Are the few good horses that you changed last time useful?" Xu Shiying discovered that Liu Yuyu was a pragmatic official, and immediately took it seriously. inquired.

Thinking of what happened to the Nanshan tribe earlier, Liu Yuyu said vigilantly: "If the governor wants to lure them over and exterminate them, please forgive me! This time the Ministry of Industry built a city and opened a port here, and Jeju Mushou obstructed a lot Fortunately, there are Nanshan Tribe and Muhu who barter with us, so that the project will not be missed, and the officials will never do anything to repay favors!"

"Lord Li, why did Bendu kill Muhu?" Xu Shiying asked rhetorically, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Liu Yuyu looked at Xu Ying, and said what was in his heart: "They are not tolerated by North Korea, and Jeju Mushou has always wanted to annihilate them!"

"Hehe...Jezhou Mushou wants to encircle and suppress Muhu, what does this have to do with my Daming?" Xu Shiying looked into Liu Yuyu's eyes, but asked seriously.

Liu Yuyu frowned, and found that he seemed to be influenced by Li Jiguang earlier, so he couldn't help but become speechless.

"We came to the East China Sea in the Ming Dynasty mainly to exchange cotton cloth for supplies. For example, there is a shortage of horses in the Beijing camp! You said that the governor helped North Korea kill Muhu, would His Majesty be happy? Or did the governor buy a batch of good horses from Muhu?" Going back, is Your Majesty happy?" Xu Shiying's smile grew stronger, and she asked seriously.

Liu Yuyu's brows were frowned even tighter, and he seemed to be enlightened and said: "Your Majesty has the world and the people in mind, and is also a pragmatic person. Naturally, he hopes to get a good horse!"

"Master Li, do you still think that the governor is going to kill Muhu?" Xu Shiying raised the teacup and asked back with a smile.

Liu Yuyu shook his head lightly, then said seriously: "Master Governor, you want to do business with Muhu!"

"wrong!"

"wrong?"

"This governor not only wants to do business with Muhu, but also with everyone on Canzhi Island!" Xu Shiying took a sip of tea, his eyes looked very firm.

He has gradually understood Zhu Youtang's thoughts. In fact, seizing this Canzhi Island is not of great benefit to the country. Now the only priority is to exchange cotton cloth for supplies.

Not only the fine horses produced on Canzhi Island, but also the seafood from the Nanshan tribe, and even the men and women on the island were all his prey.

On the second day, Liu Yuyu personally went to get in touch with the Nanshan tribe and Muhu.

While Shenzhi Island was in full swing to carry out maritime trade, there was also movement in the southwestern border of Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yue went to the western part of Guangdong to prepare for the war in person.
