Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 285: Korean affairs, troubles and evil: Emperor Jingnan, the founder of the dynasty Li Yao!
Chapter 285: Korean affairs, troubles and evil: Emperor Jingnan, the founder of the dynasty Li Yao!
Li Zhen led his troops and left.
The entire southern Zhili was shrouded in fear.
Wang Cheng hanged most of the officials in Nanjing and had the soldiers whip them.
More than 2000 officials were hung from trees, stripped naked, and beaten by soldiers.
People on three floors inside and three outside watched the whole process.
The people did not dare to come and see it, but Wang Cheng sent troops to drag the people out of their homes and force them to see it.
There were two other people kneeling in front of the official.
These two men had two signs hanging around their necks, which read "Xu Chengzong has lost his power and humiliated the country" and "Xu Yongning is not a son of man."
An imperial edict filled with rage came from the center.
Zhang Feng, Wang Hong and others who received the order felt the anger rushing towards them.
Although I was prepared in my heart, I did not expect that the tone of the imperial edict was harsh and the punishment was so severe that it was rare in the world.
It was as if the emperor's scolding was right in front of him.
When they received the order, their bodies softened involuntarily, as if the emperor was wielding a sword in the Qinzheng Hall, and the emperor's ferocious appearance was still vivid in their minds.
The imperial edict said: "Are Zhang Feng and Wang Hong forcing me to come in person?"
If you don't handle things well, I'll come here in person and don't keep your stupidity!
After Wang Cheng read out the imperial edict, he kowtowed more than a dozen times and his whole face turned red. It was unclear whether he was scared or had high blood pressure.
Ren Li came to Nanzhili to fight for power, but the emperor scolded him and told him to go back to Fengyang.
"Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen is guilty!" Ren Li said while kowtowing.
The emperor's anger filled every word, as if he was scolding them in person.
It took Zhang Feng and Wang Hong a long time to get up, and their bodies were all weak.
Immediately, Zhang Feng immediately ordered the four prefectures of Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yingtian in southern Zhili to close their city gates.
All officials in Nanjing City who failed to serve the country loyally on the day when the Japanese pirates attacked Nanjing were all arrested.
Wang Cheng personally presided over it, stripped the officials naked and beat them!
"Our family will ask you and others on behalf of Heaven."
Wang Cheng shouted and asked: "Do you have any loyalty in your hearts?
Zhang Feng was a smart man, and a civil servant like him couldn't do things like beating courtiers. As a eunuch, Wang Cheng liked to do this kind of thing, so he gave it to him.
The hanging official kept crying.
It's not pain, it's shame!
A dignified scholar-bureaucrat, at worst, is a super-rich person with a family background, huge wealth, and thousands of acres of fertile land.
At this moment, he was stripped naked, hung from a tree and beaten.
So many people are watching!
A lifetime of fame is definitely gone, and only a lifetime of infamy will remain. Thinking of his name in the history books, as dazzling as blood, tears burst out of his eyes.
"The Japanese pirates are attacking the city, and we stick to our duties. What's wrong?"
There was a young official with a red face: "Officials should perform their duties!"
"Although we are not on the front line, we have been working in the government office. What is wrong?"
The official cried blood.
"Okay, you are brave! Dare to say this!"
Wang Cheng came over and said, "If we remember correctly, your name is Zhou Ji, and he works as an officer in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I just want to ask you one question: where were you when Nanjing was attacked?"
Zhou Ji frowned and said, "I work in the government office!"
"Working at night, okay!"
Wang Cheng turned his head and looked over, looking for a figure among countless officials: "Mr. Zheng You, Zheng, you were working in the Ministry of Personnel that night. Have you ever seen him?"
Not all officials in Nanjing were hung on trees.
There were also people wearing official robes, and there were quite a few standing behind them.
The person whose name was called was Zheng You. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande and was the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
That night, Zheng You had been working in the staff department, as both the doorman and the waiter could prove.
"Going back to the prince, I have never seen him." Zheng You was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Zheng You, avenge your personal vengeance!"
Zhou Ji shouted loudly: "I have different political opinions from you, so you took the opportunity to take revenge on me!"
"Zhou Ji, why are you pretending to be a loyal minister?"
"That night, you hid in the cellar of your home, as your servants can prove!"
Wang Cheng snorted coldly: "Although we are eunuchs, we are also people in charge of soldiers. We know very well the impact of wrongly accusing someone."
"So, none of you who are hanging here are unjust!"
With that said, Wang Cheng took the whip from Fanzi's hand.
There was a crack of the whip and it hit Zhou Ji directly.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Ji looked stern and looked sad.
"Nonsense? Do you need to gather all your servants and ask where you hid that night?"
Wang Cheng pointed to an official: "You, Ma Sizu, when Nanjing was attacked, you actually spent the night on the flower boat!"
"You, Yu Yi, that night, you actually joked with your concubine, saying what would happen if the Japanese pirates came to Fengtian Hall?"
"You, Miao Zhong, what are you doing? You are trying to get close to Xiaoling. What are you seeking?"
Wang Cheng pointed out many officials.
He actually told so many private things.
The expression of the official who was hung up suddenly changed, there was a spy in his family!
And this spy seems to have been sent into the palace by the emperor, but they have already taken every precaution, why haven't they taken precautions yet?
The officials who were still wearing official robes and standing near Wang Cheng felt their hearts tightening at the same time.
The reason why they are distinguished.
Because the emperor's spies proved their innocence.
No wonder Wang Cheng can accurately distinguish loyalties from traitors.
Officials cried.
"Anyone whose name is called will be whipped to death!"
Wang Cheng yelled: "You still have the nerve to cry?"
"Usually he talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but he opens his mouth and shuts up to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"
"In the end, when things came to a head, it was not even as good as a story!"
"Chen Wuyang can still kill enemies for his country! What about you?"
"You have been favored by the emperor in this life, but you don't know how to be loyal to the country. You all deserve to die!"
While scolding, Wang Cheng whipped Zhou Ji hard and shouted: "Our family should really risk everything and execute you all to save the world from harm!"
These words wiped the emperor clean.
Tell the officials that this is Wang Cheng's own initiative and not the imperial edict of the central government.
Sure enough, the officials begged the emperor.
"You can appeal and prove your innocence."
"Anyone who was working normally in the government office when Nanjing City was attacked, or who cared about Nanjing City and took action, can appeal to Jinyiwei!"
"Each of you has only one opportunity to appeal."
"Jinyiwei will submit the complaint to Dali Temple, which will be verified by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. If the appeal is successful, the official will be reinstated."
"If your appeal fails, think about your own consequences!"
Wang Cheng returned to his seat: "Hit, thirty lashes for each person! Not one less lash!"
"Then he was imprisoned and his family was imprisoned, waiting to be found out!"
"If any family members escape, they will be treated as serious crimes!"
clap clap clap!
The sound of whips all over the sky seemed to indicate that the city of Nanjing had changed.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Nanjing was dominated by the gentry. After the four major Hongwu cases, the power of the gentry was completely suppressed.
Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing and moved away countless wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, which caused the foundation of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to be cut off.
But after the Yongle Dynasty passed, the gentry revived. By the ninth year of Jingtai, Nanjing City and even southern Zhejiang were ruled by the gentry.
This time the central board fell hard, regardless of good or bad, all were slapped hard.
The emperor used his strength to tell them that if I want to shoot you to death, I can shoot you to death!
The arrogant gentry can only be regarded as fish on the chopping board at this moment.
Because Ou Xin, leading [-] wolf soldiers, has set out from Nanjing City and reached Songjiang Mansion to first destroy the Japanese pirates and then the gentry.
And a steady stream of soldiers were sent to South Zhili.
"Come here! Arrest all the residents in Nanjing City!"
Wang Cheng ordered again.
The people watching the excitement were in an uproar. Some people looked at each other, as if they were trying to arrest us?
"Nanjing students, if you don't come forward when the country is in crisis, you should all be punished!"
Wang Cheng did not execute him directly, which was against the imperial edict.
Anyway, when all the students are arrested, isn't it just a matter of his words whether to kill or to retain them?
The official who had been whipped thirty times was escorted off.
The official robe must have been taken back by the court.
Only one prison uniform remained.
Whether you can wear it back depends on your actions that night.
Xu Chengzong and Xu Yongning, with signs hanging around their necks, knelt on the ground and cried silently.
They wanted to cry, but if they dared to cry, the people behind them would slap them and tell them to shut up.
He is a majestic prince, but he is worse than a dog.
Xu Chengzong and Xu Yongning finally saw the power of the imperial edict.
The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, could mobilize 10,000+ troops in an instant with just an imperial edict to march to Zhili in the south.
One imperial edict can kill two princes.
An imperial edict can execute all Nanjing officials.
An imperial edict can completely destabilize Southern Zhili.
This is the power of the imperial edict.
In fact, there is not even a single person who opposes it. This is the ultimate imperial power!
There were only two emperors who had the ultimate imperial power, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong.
"Are our lives so worthless?" Xu Chengzong murmured to himself.
He didn't know that the emperor's execution of them was the most uncontroversial thing in the entire court.
As for the political impact of the death of the two princes?
It seems that there is really no such thing. It is estimated that the Duke of Guizhou, which is far away in Yunnan, will feel a little uncomfortable. However, the Duke of Guizhou will soon submit a letter of apology and ask the central government to take back the position of Duke.
The emperor's imperial power would frighten the world.
Look, Ou Xin's [-] troops are passing through Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Ren Li was scolded by the emperor and returned to Zhongdu in despair. He also left his soldiers in Nanjing to garrison Nanjing.
Jiangxi, which has been under blockade for a year, has been released as soon as an imperial decree says.
Once the imperial edict is issued, no one in the world dares to disobey it.
As for the emperor, he is thousands of miles away, and he only remotely controls Nanzhili. If he came in person, it would probably be even more terrifying.
The sky has changed!
Fanzi arrested people according to the list, and all the students who passed the examination as scholar or above were arrested.
The city was in mourning.
Hu Wei, who was in Zhejiang, received an imperial edict from the central government at the same time, parachuted Zhang Gu to serve as the garrison of Zhejiang. Hu Wei was reassigned as the deputy garrison of Zhejiang, and sent Hu Wei to lead troops to station in Hangzhou.
Hu Hui saw the emperor's deep intention. His father Hu Hui was coming to take charge of Nanzhili, and his son would not be able to hold military power.
And he settled in Hangzhou Prefecture to help defend Southern Zhili.
Once there are changes in southern Zhili, he can immediately send his troops northward.
At the same time, he also secretly visited Xiaoxiao in Hangzhou Prefecture to guard Zhejiang.
At the same time, Jin Zhong in Jiangxi also received an imperial edict from the cabinet and transferred Jin Zhong to Nanzhili.
There is also a secret letter from the emperor.
After Jin Zhong read it, he couldn't help sighing: "Jiangxi is just a little short of success!"
He expects Jiangxi to be completely cleared by the end of this year.
But Nanzhili is more anxious.
He could only leave Yan Fang in Jiangxi and continue to finish the work, while he immediately set off for Nanjing.
Yang Xin was suppressing bandits in Ganzhou Prefecture. He received the imperial edict late and did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately organized his troops and marched into southern Zhili.
It was Ye Sheng who left with Jin Zhong.
Ye Sheng has been looking for news about Yinshan, and he actually found Yinshan. According to the merchant's confession, he checked the historical records and was almost certain that Yinshan was in Boni Country (Kalimantan).
But before the report was sent to the central government, he received an imperial edict from the central government to send him to guard southern Zhili.
Jiangxi affairs were all left to Ma Jin.
Ma Jin was very dissatisfied with Jin Zhong's rectification of Jiangxi, because most of his power was taken away by Jin Zhong. He, the just and righteous governor, was actually the most leisurely person in Jiangxi.
Jin Zhong is gone, and he is the happiest. He can finally take back the power of governor.
In the imperial edict, Jin Zhong, Ye Sheng and Yang Xin were transferred to Southern Zhili.
The Tiger and Leopard Army led by Yang Xin is about to leave South Zhili. The Tiger and Leopard Army has surged from 3 to 1000.
The Jiangxi Army is temporarily commanded by Zhang Shan, and the center will airborne the general troops.
The Tiger and Leopard Army took away 1000 people, leaving the Jiangxi Army with only 2 people, including [-] naval troops under Zhang Shan.
Ma Jin vaguely guessed that the Central Committee would transfer Zhu Yi to temporarily take charge of the Jiangxi Army.
After Jiangxi is completely plowed and all the silver is transported to Beijing, Zhu Yi will be transferred and a civilian will be sent to take charge of the army.
The emperor made such a big fuss in Nanjing. In order to appease the civilian officials, he would definitely give them more power and let them control the army.
There is also a deeper meaning: civilians in charge of the army will not rebel. South Zhili already has many large armies, which is already very dangerous. If Jiangxi again has military generals in charge of the army, the emperor will not sleep well.
However, Fang Ying was in Annan. It was the rainy season in Annan at the moment, and the imperial edict could not reach Annan at all.
The transfer of 30 troops from Guangxi can only wait until the rainy season passes.
Ming Dynasty did maintain an army of 200 million.
But there are 130 million Guangxi soldiers. These people are said to be soldiers, but in fact they are natives, just to facilitate immigration.
60 people have been removed, and Fang Ying still has 70 people in hand.
The number of troops that can actually go to the battlefield does not exceed 80. The number seems to be a lot, but when placed in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, it seems to be very small.
Especially for the cavalry, there are only 10,000+ people, which is far from enough.
Hu Hui was already on his way to Nanzhili. Following him was a young man who was very depressed. He was Song Wei's son, Song Zi.
The emperor sent Song Zi to arrest his biological father, Song Wei.
But Song Zi was grateful to the emperor. If it weren't for the sake of his father's loyalty, the emperor would definitely have issued an imperial edict and ordered Song Wei to be killed.
Sending him, his biological son, was also to appease Song Wei's mood.
On the way, Song Zi said nothing and repeatedly reviewed the Battle of Nanjing. If it were him, he would have arranged it like this. Why did his father lose?
"Kui Nian, your father's arrangement is not wrong."
Hu Bi knew that Song Zi was in a low mood, so she called him over in her spare time and comforted him: "The fault lies in not seeing through people's hearts, and the failure lies in the details."
"But Song Wei defeated the Japanese pirates in Qingpu City, which can be regarded as making up for the situation."
"If he can let go of his hatred and rectify the Japanese pirates, there may be hope for a comeback."
"Quinian, your father has gone through this. If he can get through it, he will become a famous general one day. If he can't, he will be infamy for thousands of years."
Song Zi lowered his head, with tears in his eyes.
He knew very well his father's ambition, and he wanted to earn a title for himself.
But he made a big mistake.
"Famous generals are trained after countless failures."
"Only when you are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat can you have the qualities of a famous general."
"When you see your father, you should tell him that your Majesty ordered him to start as a pawn in order to train him. He should be able to endure his temper and train himself."
"Ten years from now, he will definitely become a famous general."
"Don't be anxious or get angry, take care of yourself, ask for advice humbly, start from the bottom, and you will become something great."
Hu Bi felt sorry for Song Wei.
Song Wei's defeat was due to his political immaturity and his taking the war situation for granted.
He viewed the battle as a tactical lesson.
The battle situations in the classroom are all rigid and fixed.
The real battlefield is ever-changing and ever-changing, and famous generals can make the most correct decisions based on favorable circumstances.
Look at Yu Qian's battles, why he always fights smoothly? It's because he can amplify his advantages according to the battle situation and constantly make decisions that are most beneficial to him.
These decisions may not be right, but they must be beneficial. If there are more advantages, the headwind battle will become a tailwind battle, and Yu Qian will become a master tactician.
As for politics, you must think the worst about people and never underestimate the dangers of people's hearts.
Song Zi knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings!"
"You should take this as a lesson, study hard in the martial arts hall, don't talk about military affairs on paper, go to the army to practice more, and clear your father's shame in the future." Hu Hui encouraged him.
"Students will live up to the teachings of their master!"
Know your shame and be brave!
Only then can one become a hero.
Song Zi swore secretly.
And in North Korea, Uiju.
Wang Yue set up a large number of shelters on the border between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty to take in North Korean people and move them into Liaohetao.
Although he is based in Uiju, the shelter has spread far outside Pyongyang.
There were thousands of ships from North Korea to and from the Ming Dynasty every day, and about tens of thousands of people were moved into the Ming Dynasty every day.
Of course North Korean people are willing to go to China. Who wants to be a dog if they can go to China and live like a human being?
The North Korean monarch Yi Ao turned a blind eye to this.
Because he had already hunted south and fled to Seoul.
The person who calls the shots in Pyongyang is Jianzhou Jurchen Li Manzhu.
Li Man has lived in Pyongyang for nine months, but he has no intention of leaving. He has great intentions of taking root here, and even organized and trained a North Korean army.
He turned a blind eye to Wang Yue's immigration to North Korea because he wanted to have an opinion. The problem was that Mao Zhong took away his nest.
The old nest of Jianzhou was flattened by Mao Zhong.
The old and weak in the clan do not know whether to live or die.
Although for Li Manzhu, the Jurchens should be used as their bed, and their nest will be gone if it is gone, and it will not hurt them at all. The problem is that they are disgusting. The old Jurchens are clamoring to go home, which leads to unstable military morale.
Fortunately, there was a court flag to help him stabilize his determination.
So he just acts like a coward in Pyongyang and vents his anger on North Korea.
Wang Yue could immigrate as hard as possible and strive to move all of northern Korea.
Mao Zhong was in Jurchen's home base in Jianzhou, and he could take advantage of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
The king of Korea, Li Yao, was depressed in Seoul and kept writing letters to the emperor, asking for heavenly troops to rescue Korea.
The emperor sometimes wrote back, saying that his troops were in Uiju and could send troops into Korea at any time.
They have been saying this since March, and now it is July. They are still saying this. The Korean soldiers are no match for the Jurchen soldiers and are retreating steadily.
The Jurchen soldiers have already reached Seoul, should they continue to hunt south?
However, Li Yao heard that Wang Yue, the chief military officer of North Korea, was sheltering North Korean people and immigrating to the Ming Dynasty. He had no intention of going south, so he could only invite Luo Qi and Cheng Xin.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin were also unlucky.
As an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, he actually followed the Korean monarch and fled throughout Korea.
"See Your Majesty!"
Luo Qi spoke eloquently: "My God, the Holy One, cares about all the people and cannot bear the Korean people to be devastated by the war, so I temporarily immigrated to Liaoning. After the war is over, I will naturally allow the Korean people to return to the DPRK."
Li Yao is not an easy king to fool.
He did not succeed to the throne smoothly, but imitated Ming Taizong and made peace difficult for the world.
He also grabbed the throne of his nephew, Danjong of Joseon.
In the fourth year of Jingtai's reign, he conquered the whole country of Korea, which was known as the "Guiyou Jingnan" in history. In the seventh year of Jingtai, he was officially canonized by the Ming Emperor.
The two vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea imitated Emperor Taizong and settled the emperor Jingnan, and Annan imitated the orthodox emperor and seized the throne, and they both quietly called themselves Little China.Why don't you learn something?
"Let's not talk about the people's affairs for now, when will the Kingdom send troops?" Li Yao looked at Luo Qi with burning eyes.
Luo Qi has been good at dancing since she came to North Korea. She has been in contact with the Supreme Emperor Li Hongwei many times and has impure thoughts.
"Back to the king!"
Luo Qi smiled and said: "Now that the dynasty has destroyed the Jianzhou den and occupied Jianzhou, the Jurchen tribe has lost its base, and people's hearts are floating. It won't take long for our Chaohu division to go south to rescue North Korea. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Li Yao's eyes were sinister, why didn't Ming come?
He is not a foolish king. He once had a strong army in his hands.
But after the Jingnan victory, he generously rewarded the army. This army quickly deteriorated and could not defeat the Jurchens and other tiger and wolf troops.
"Can you please ask your envoy to ask your majesty to allocate a batch of firearms to North Korea?"
Li Yao no longer plans to beg the Ming Dynasty, but plans to arm herself and fight back!
If he can successfully pacify the enemy, can he still not expel the foreign enemies?
Luo Qi said: "The roads between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea are blocked, and there are Japanese pirates roaming the sea. Even if our country wants to allocate firearms, it will be difficult to transport them to North Korea."
"Guyuan will send the navy to receive firearms from Ming Dynasty!" Li Yao gritted his teeth.
The Ming Dynasty just wanted to use North Korea to consume the Jurchens!
Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.
You are no match for the Jurchens, let us, North Korea, be a target!Is there anyone like you who goes to heaven?
"This……"
Luo Qi pondered slightly. He knew very well what his mission was, which was to bring chaos to North Korea to the extreme, so that Ming Dynasty could seize North Korea.
Cheng Xin bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please allow the foreign minister to tell the truth."
"Please tell me." Li Yao wanted to hear the truth.
"North Korea is the flesh and blood of China, and China has no intention of turning a blind eye."
"It's just what the king did that chilled the heart of heaven and your majesty!"
Cheng Xin said loudly: "As we all know, the land in the northeast of Korea was given by Emperor Taizong. It was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, but it was given to Korea. It can be said that it is a great kindness."
"The poor people in Korea were poor, so Your Majesty lived frugally and gave Korea many goods. He traded with Korea every year, and the Ming Dynasty suffered losses again and again. This was a favor to the vassal state."
"Although Your Majesty is a king, you are also a minister of His Majesty."
"The Emperor's kindness is so great, but the King doesn't know how to repay His Majesty. It's like he was born with a blind eye."
"In the eighth year of Jingtai, the Holy Emperor decreed that vassal countries were not allowed to use their own country's era names and all use the next year's name. Can North Korea implement it?"
"In the eighth year of Jingtai, the Tatars invaded the border. The Holy Emperor issued an order to North Korea to raise grain and grass and sell it to the Ming Dynasty at a high price. However, North Korea sat back and watched the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars and refused to sell grain and grass. Fortunately, your majesty brought great blessings to the sky, and Xing Guogong was destroyed in one battle. Tatar, and capture the land of Mobei!"
"Furthermore, in the 11th year of Orthodoxy, the king actually wanted to abolish Chinese characters and create Korean characters. Official books are no longer written in Chinese, and he is good at revising history without the permission of the Celestial Empire. This is betraying the Ming Dynasty!"
"There are so many more!"
"Now that North Korea is in trouble, it turns to Heaven for help. However, His Majesty ignored the past grievances and still sent troops to rescue North Korea. His Majesty believes that North Korea is a compatriot of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty is the father of the world. He regards the King as his own son, so he sends troops to assist."
"Heaven sent troops and paid to aid North Korea."
"But the king ignores the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty and keeps urging and forcing. Is this the way a lower country treats a higher country?"
Cheng Xin was full of resentment.
The Ming Dynasty was truly benevolent to North Korea.
Taizu made Korea a country without conquests, and Emperor Taizong granted land to Korea. Emperors Renzong, Xuanzong, and Zhengtong all treated Korea with utmost benevolence and righteousness.
The current emperor has also continued to give favors to North Korea in the past few years.
But how did North Korea repay Ming Dynasty?
He regarded the imperial edict as fart and regarded Zhu Qiyu as a fool.
The main reason why Li Yao was disliked by Zhu Qiyu was that Li Yao created Korean writing, which was a precursor to breaking away from the Han cultural circle.
North Korea and Annan are written entirely in Chinese and do not have their own writing or language.
The Japanese state used a large amount of Chinese characters and a small amount of its own characters.
The vassal states of Sanxuan, Liuwei, Champa, etc. all use Chinese as their official text.
Even overseas countries such as Bo Ni wanted to use Chinese as their official text, but they could not get the emperor's permission.
In this era, using Chinese is a supreme honor!
Li Yao was attacked by Cheng Xin with a gun and a stick, and she was furious. Her face was slightly gloomy and she said:
"If the Holy One comes to the country with hatred because of this, he is willing to abolish the Korean script, raise military funds for the Ming Dynasty, and go to the capital in person to explain the reason to the Holy One!"
"I just ask the Holy One to ignore the past grudges and send heavenly troops to rescue North Korea!"
He felt aggrieved too!
If he had a strong army five years ago, would he be so ashamed?
"If Your Majesty really cares, why would you send Commander-in-Chief Wang Yue to lead the army?" Luo Qi said with a smile.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin, one pretends to be red-faced and the other pretends to be black-faced.
Luo Qi is responsible for socializing, and Cheng Xin is responsible for scolding.
"As soon as the road is clear, I will go to the Ming Dynasty in person to plead with my father-in-law!" Regardless of Li Yao's age, Zhu Qiyu is still his father-in-law.
Cheng Xin snorted coldly.
Luo Qi said with a smile: "You still need His Majesty's grace to go to Hajj."
That's right, if Zhu Qiyu doesn't give the order, Li Yao hasn't had the chance to meet Tianyan yet!
Ming Dynasty is so arrogant.
"Yes, yes, please give me a few kind words." Li Yao didn't dare to act like the King of Korea anymore.
In fact, he created Korean writing because he saw the decline of Ming Dynasty.
The decline of the Ming Dynasty began with the three conquests of Luchuan.
The small Luchuan Kingdom had to be conquered three times by the Ming Dynasty before it was vaguely called "annihilated".
This allowed Oara, Tartar, Ulyanha, Korea, Annan, Champa and other countries to see it, even the vassal states such as Wushen, Duosi, Nurgandusi, and even Hami, Turpan, Ulyanha and other vassal states. The decline of the Ming Dynasty.
From that time on, these countries began to want to tear off a piece of fat from Ming Dynasty.
It has been nine years since Jingtai.
The Ming Dynasty had been in decline for 20 years, and suddenly it suddenly became stronger.
Defeating Oara, defeating the Tatars, and occupying the land of Mobei showed the power of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Yao secretly stayed in the palace, constantly reviewing Zhu Qiyu's political actions, and finally came to a conclusion: if the soldiers were given full pay and allowed to be captured by the soldiers, there would be an unexpected outcome.
Therefore, the Jurchens invaded North Korea this year.
Li Yao also paid full wages to the Jingying camp, and even tried to sell it. The result turned out to be that Seoul could no longer defend itself with continued hunting south...
He never figured it out, why?
Zhu Qiyu paid the soldiers full pay, and the Ming army burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.
He also paid full pay to his soldiers, why is it useless!
Nonsense, is your so-called full salary payment really going on?
Li Yao was blinded by a leaf.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, the Ming Dynasty Iron Cavalry, are unrivaled in the world."
Luo Qi bowed and said: "Commander Wang Yue, leading [-] cavalry, is hovering at the border between the two countries. As long as he finds a suitable opportunity, he will definitely send his troops south."
There are only 2 people, which is a bit small.
The problem is that northern Korea is mountainous and it is difficult for cavalry to deploy. If cavalry is used to fight in mountain warfare, it is equal to death.
Moreover, the cavalry in Wang Yue's hands were from the Liaoning army and mixed Hu and Han cavalry.
Most of them are Tatar soldiers. These soldiers still do not speak Chinese. If they are released rashly, these people will easily escape.
Therefore, Wang Yue would rather keep it and stay in northern Korea, neither moving forward nor retreating.
The northern part of Korea is mountainous, and the cavalry cannot be deployed. The Tatar soldiers cannot escape even if they want to, so they can only be in the hands of Wang Yue and let Wang Yue do whatever he wants.
Wang Yue killed three birds with one stone while Chineseizing the Tatar soldiers, accepting immigrants, and observing the situation in North Korea.
"Your Majesty, the weather will get colder soon."
"Please also ask your envoy to urge the heavenly soldiers to go south quickly."
"I have prepared banquets and goods in Seoul, and I am just waiting for the heavenly soldiers to arrive."
This meeting was quite an unpleasant one.
As soon as Luo Qi and Cheng Xin left, Li Yao was smashing things in the palace: "The Ming Dynasty is ambitious and wants to see the conflict between Korea and the Jurchens, and he is so greedy for profit!"
Just as the Ming Dynasty envoys left, all the important officials from North Korea came.
Zheng Linzhi played a decisive role in the history of North Korea. He was the one who created the Korean script, and he was also the one who presided over the compilation of the history of North Korea!
He is also the first contributor to North Korea's peace.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Ming Dynasty's ambition is not this!" Zheng Linzhi said, of course, in Chinese.
North Korea's top leaders all speak Chinese and read Han classics. They also subconsciously think that they are Han Chinese.
"What else?" Li Yao was stunned.
Zheng Lin bowed and said: "Then Cheng Xin claimed that North Korea's creation of writing and compilation of historical annals was a major crime!"
Li Yao was stunned. Isn't this an excuse?
Does it mean something?
Suddenly, he thought of Cheng Xin's words, covering the land of Mobei.
"The Central Plains won't want to include North Korea, right?" This idea shocked Li Yao herself.
North Korea is so bad, can the Central Plains take notice?
Why has North Korea never been included in the Central Plains Dynasty?
Because North Korea has messed up itself and made itself extremely bad, the Central Plains Dynasty definitely doesn’t want it.
The second is to be submissive. North Korea is extremely submissive to China.
Zheng Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, I think the possibility is extremely high."
"The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty seems to have become a different person since he defeated the rebellion."
"His ambitions became clear, and his political measures were all for the country and the people, and the Ming Dynasty became prosperous again."
"Originally, this prosperity may have to wait a few years, but the defeat of the Tatars was a shock to the past and the present."
"The power of the Tatars is deeply felt by me in North Korea. The Jurchens are still suppressed by the Tatars, but the Jurchens act recklessly in North Korea, which shows how strong their soldiers are."
"And the Ming Dynasty actually defeated the Tatars in one battle, collected the Tatar soldiers, captured the Tatar lands, and converted the Tatar people into Han people."
"His ambition is as strong as the Emperor Taizong of the Heavenly Dynasty during his lifetime."
Zheng Linzhi even believed that he was a member of the imperial dynasty, and the dynastic people should have their own writing and history, and could not always condescend to the imperial dynasty.
Therefore, he was very wary of Da Ming and always thought bad things about Da Ming.
The expressions of North Korean monarchs and ministers changed instantly.
Han Que, the second hero of Jingnan, sneered: "What's the use of encompassing the land of Mobei?"
"Emperor Taizong is so terrifying. He seals the wolf as his subordinate, strangles the stone swallows, and covers the vast land."
"But during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, didn't they just throw it away?"
"Those lands are even more barren than the land in North Korea. What's the use of them?"
"Besides, Emperor Taizong was very good to North Korea."
That's right.
The Ming Emperor was very good to North Korea and really raised North Korea as his own son.
The current territory of North Korea was determined by Emperor Taizong, and there was also a piece of land given by Emperor Taizong.
This land grant has a lot to do with Han Que.
"Then can you see the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor of China?" Zheng Linzhi asked him.
Han Que said: "It is ambitious. At most it will only consume the national power of North Korea and the Jurchens. Is it possible to really annex North Korea?"
These words caused laughter in the hall.
If North Korea was very rich, it would indeed be no problem.
The key point is that North Korea is poor, and the poor have to rely on Dad Ming to support them. It’s not that North Korea doesn’t want to fall into Dad’s arms, but that Dad doesn’t want it.
"What do you know!"
Zheng Lin scolded: "North Korea is a country, not the land of the Ming Dynasty! It should have its own writing and culture!"
"Instead of selling your sister for glory like you did!"
In an instant, Han Que's face turned red.
Han Que's sister was very beautiful. During the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Taizong sent eunuchs to North Korea to recruit girls. He paid for his sister to be selected. He escorted her to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and presented her to him.
Her sister was named Concubine Li by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong even wanted to marry his daughter to Han Que, but Han Que refused because she was too far away from home.
Because of Concubine Li, Emperor Taizong gave North Korea a piece of land with a wave of his hand.
Therefore, Taizong's grant of land had a lot to do with Han Que.
More than ten years later, Emperor Xuanzong sent eunuchs to North Korea to procure women. He wanted to offer his young sister to Emperor Xuanzong, but his sister refused and scolded him, making him infamous.
In the end, Han Guilan was sent to the Ming court.
Now she is still serving in the palace. She is just a female official and has not been favored by Emperor Xuanzong.
When Luo Qi came, he also sent a handwritten letter from his sister.
"It is a great honor for me and my sister to be valued by His Majesty. How can it be so unbearable as you say?"
"It is precisely because my sister was awarded the title of Concubine Li that Emperor Taizong granted me the gift of land!"
"The territory of North Korea is due to my contribution, Han Que!"
Han Que pointed at him: "Zheng Linzhi, you are a hero of Jingnan, and so am I. I hold an important position, how can I be inferior to you?"
"Say that Ming Dynasty annexed North Korea?"
"Hmph, if the emperor of China decrees, he will take over this barren land like North Korea."
"Do you know how many people in the world will celebrate!"
"Not annexation like what you said!"
"What an honor it is to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty!"
This statement actually aroused the agreement of many important ministers.
The Ming Dynasty's infiltration into North Korea was so pervasive that even a Ming person would not feel like he was in a foreign country in North Korea.
However, he didn't notice that Li Yao's face had become extremely gloomy.
"Selling your sister for glory, betraying your country for glory!" Zheng Linzhi scolded Han Que.
Han Minghui stood up and said to Xi Ni: "You two, now is not the time to quarrel. The national crisis is at hand. We should work together as one."
Han Minghui was called "my son's wife" by Li Yao.
Although he ranked third among the heroes of Jingnan, the person Li Yao trusted the most was Han Minghui.
Followed by Quan Zhu (lan three times).
Quan Zhu has completely degenerated and is no longer of great use.
"Zijun (Han Minghui), tell me."
Li Yao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He didn't want to hear the quarrel. The Jurchen soldiers were close at hand. What a quarrel. If the quarrel continued, North Korea would be gone.
"What does the Ming Dynasty want? We can't control it, and we don't need to."
Han Minghui smiled bitterly and said: "If Ming Dynasty has the intention to annex North Korea, we cannot stop it."
"Old minister, I see that His Majesty has no intention of annexing North Korea. If you don't believe me, you can submit a request to annex North Korea. I am sure His Majesty will refuse."
Because North Korea is poor!
It’s not like North Korea has never included it, Ming Dynasty really doesn’t want it.
Also wanted to include the Balni Kingdom and the Champa Kingdom.
Daming really dislikes it.
"We still need help from China in this battle, otherwise North Korea will not be able to regain the lost territory."
Han Minghui said: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to immediately abolish the Korean characters, abolish the Joseon era name, use the Jingtai era name, and prepare Korean beauties, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and send the navy to heaven to ask your Majesty to grant a batch of firearm."
Han Que was quite proud of himself.
Look, the only thing North Korea has to offer is beauty.
North Korea is rich in beauties.
The emperors of the Chinese dynasty all liked Korean concubines. Now Emperor Jingtai does not have Korean concubines. He only needs to select a large number of beauties and send them to the Ming Dynasty by water.
With the emperor's favor, North Korea naturally has everything.
The so-called waterway is not across the Bohai Sea, but around the border of North Korea, going to Yizhou, bypassing the Jurchen soldiers, disembarking from Liaoning, and taking the land route to Beijing.
Zheng Linzhi sighed deeply. His greatest wish was to create Korean language, create Korean history, and compile "History of Goryeo".
This shows his ambition.
It started from Goguryeo and even secretly turned Goguryeo into Korean history.
There was even a map drawn.
Goguryeo is not from North Korea, and it doesn’t even have anything to do with North Korea!
"allow!"
Li Yao also knew the benefits of creating writing and forming a country of its own.
However, when the army is approaching the city, there is no rescue from the heavenly troops, and North Korea is gone, so what else can we think about writing.
"The minister who is going on an envoy needs an important minister who understands the Ming Dynasty and has a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty." Han Minghui almost said it bluntly, Han Que, you go.
Han Que was even more complacent.
His sister was named Concubine Li by Emperor Taizong.
Taizong's gift of land has a lot to do with Concubine Li.
The last time he was on an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, he had a very pleasant talk with the Ming Emperor. Emperor Jingtai praised him very much and wanted to retain him as an official in the Ming Dynasty.
This time, he will dedicate his most beautiful daughter to the Ming Emperor.
Li Yao also looked at him.
Han Que said, "I am your Majesty's servant. I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty!"
It is very dangerous to go to Daming by water.
Japanese pirates are rampant.
"But I have a depression in my heart that is difficult to relieve. The bad reputation of selling my sister for glory will accompany me throughout my life, and I can't let go of it!"
With that said, Han Que knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Zheng Linzhi knew that Han Que was petty, but now he threatened him with state affairs. How stupid he was.
Did you really not see the emperor’s expression at all?
Or do you only have the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in your heart and not the Emperor of Korea?
Pfft!
Zheng Lin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Han Que: "The arrogant words coming out of my mouth are like the barking of a dog. Please don't pay attention, Lord Han!"
"Yo yo yo, I am so virtuous and capable, but I am being worshiped by the hero of Jingnan. I can't bear it." Han Que smiled strangely.
Zheng Lin kept kowtowing.
When Li Yao saw this scene, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
This Han is really a traitor!
Do you really want North Korea to be absorbed into the Ming Dynasty...
Haven't you ever thought about how I will deal with myself then?
I won the throne, gave you wealth, and allowed you to struggle with power. That is what I allowed.
It’s not that I’m stupid, foolish or faint.
Just let you ride on my neck and shit!
"Han Que, do you need me to kneel down and kowtow three times for you?" Li Yao said coldly.
Han Que shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and kowtowed to Li Yao: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"I'm not dead yet, and North Korea isn't dead yet? It's not to the point where Korea can't survive without you!" Li Yao roared.
"I'm frivolous, I'm guilty!" Han Que kept kowtowing.
"If you don't want to go as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who can go and you won't be needed!" Li Yao was furious.
The Jurchen troops are approaching the city, and you are still fighting for power. Do you have North Korea in your heart?
Han Que was really scared.
This person won the world through rebellion. Although he was the second contributor to Jingnan, he had been corrupting and disrupting the government over the years, and the trust of the emperor and his ministers had long been worn away.
He just doesn't like Zheng Linzhi's aloof look. You are a civil servant and you are the only one who has the ability?
How am I, Han Que, worse than you?
In fact, it was Han Que who was responsible for Taizong's granting of the land. He had always been dissatisfied with the ranking of the heroes of Jingnan.
It exploded at this moment.
But ignored the emperor's feelings.
Moreover, his long talk about the virtues of the Ming Dynasty also touched the emperor's pride and angered him.
Although Li Yao claimed to be a minister to Zhu Qiyu, he was still an emperor behind closed doors.
Everyone is willing to compare with others.
But the most unpleasant thing to hear is that you are better than me!
(End of this chapter)
Li Zhen led his troops and left.
The entire southern Zhili was shrouded in fear.
Wang Cheng hanged most of the officials in Nanjing and had the soldiers whip them.
More than 2000 officials were hung from trees, stripped naked, and beaten by soldiers.
People on three floors inside and three outside watched the whole process.
The people did not dare to come and see it, but Wang Cheng sent troops to drag the people out of their homes and force them to see it.
There were two other people kneeling in front of the official.
These two men had two signs hanging around their necks, which read "Xu Chengzong has lost his power and humiliated the country" and "Xu Yongning is not a son of man."
An imperial edict filled with rage came from the center.
Zhang Feng, Wang Hong and others who received the order felt the anger rushing towards them.
Although I was prepared in my heart, I did not expect that the tone of the imperial edict was harsh and the punishment was so severe that it was rare in the world.
It was as if the emperor's scolding was right in front of him.
When they received the order, their bodies softened involuntarily, as if the emperor was wielding a sword in the Qinzheng Hall, and the emperor's ferocious appearance was still vivid in their minds.
The imperial edict said: "Are Zhang Feng and Wang Hong forcing me to come in person?"
If you don't handle things well, I'll come here in person and don't keep your stupidity!
After Wang Cheng read out the imperial edict, he kowtowed more than a dozen times and his whole face turned red. It was unclear whether he was scared or had high blood pressure.
Ren Li came to Nanzhili to fight for power, but the emperor scolded him and told him to go back to Fengyang.
"Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen is guilty!" Ren Li said while kowtowing.
The emperor's anger filled every word, as if he was scolding them in person.
It took Zhang Feng and Wang Hong a long time to get up, and their bodies were all weak.
Immediately, Zhang Feng immediately ordered the four prefectures of Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yingtian in southern Zhili to close their city gates.
All officials in Nanjing City who failed to serve the country loyally on the day when the Japanese pirates attacked Nanjing were all arrested.
Wang Cheng personally presided over it, stripped the officials naked and beat them!
"Our family will ask you and others on behalf of Heaven."
Wang Cheng shouted and asked: "Do you have any loyalty in your hearts?
Zhang Feng was a smart man, and a civil servant like him couldn't do things like beating courtiers. As a eunuch, Wang Cheng liked to do this kind of thing, so he gave it to him.
The hanging official kept crying.
It's not pain, it's shame!
A dignified scholar-bureaucrat, at worst, is a super-rich person with a family background, huge wealth, and thousands of acres of fertile land.
At this moment, he was stripped naked, hung from a tree and beaten.
So many people are watching!
A lifetime of fame is definitely gone, and only a lifetime of infamy will remain. Thinking of his name in the history books, as dazzling as blood, tears burst out of his eyes.
"The Japanese pirates are attacking the city, and we stick to our duties. What's wrong?"
There was a young official with a red face: "Officials should perform their duties!"
"Although we are not on the front line, we have been working in the government office. What is wrong?"
The official cried blood.
"Okay, you are brave! Dare to say this!"
Wang Cheng came over and said, "If we remember correctly, your name is Zhou Ji, and he works as an officer in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I just want to ask you one question: where were you when Nanjing was attacked?"
Zhou Ji frowned and said, "I work in the government office!"
"Working at night, okay!"
Wang Cheng turned his head and looked over, looking for a figure among countless officials: "Mr. Zheng You, Zheng, you were working in the Ministry of Personnel that night. Have you ever seen him?"
Not all officials in Nanjing were hung on trees.
There were also people wearing official robes, and there were quite a few standing behind them.
The person whose name was called was Zheng You. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande and was the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
That night, Zheng You had been working in the staff department, as both the doorman and the waiter could prove.
"Going back to the prince, I have never seen him." Zheng You was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Zheng You, avenge your personal vengeance!"
Zhou Ji shouted loudly: "I have different political opinions from you, so you took the opportunity to take revenge on me!"
"Zhou Ji, why are you pretending to be a loyal minister?"
"That night, you hid in the cellar of your home, as your servants can prove!"
Wang Cheng snorted coldly: "Although we are eunuchs, we are also people in charge of soldiers. We know very well the impact of wrongly accusing someone."
"So, none of you who are hanging here are unjust!"
With that said, Wang Cheng took the whip from Fanzi's hand.
There was a crack of the whip and it hit Zhou Ji directly.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Ji looked stern and looked sad.
"Nonsense? Do you need to gather all your servants and ask where you hid that night?"
Wang Cheng pointed to an official: "You, Ma Sizu, when Nanjing was attacked, you actually spent the night on the flower boat!"
"You, Yu Yi, that night, you actually joked with your concubine, saying what would happen if the Japanese pirates came to Fengtian Hall?"
"You, Miao Zhong, what are you doing? You are trying to get close to Xiaoling. What are you seeking?"
Wang Cheng pointed out many officials.
He actually told so many private things.
The expression of the official who was hung up suddenly changed, there was a spy in his family!
And this spy seems to have been sent into the palace by the emperor, but they have already taken every precaution, why haven't they taken precautions yet?
The officials who were still wearing official robes and standing near Wang Cheng felt their hearts tightening at the same time.
The reason why they are distinguished.
Because the emperor's spies proved their innocence.
No wonder Wang Cheng can accurately distinguish loyalties from traitors.
Officials cried.
"Anyone whose name is called will be whipped to death!"
Wang Cheng yelled: "You still have the nerve to cry?"
"Usually he talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but he opens his mouth and shuts up to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"
"In the end, when things came to a head, it was not even as good as a story!"
"Chen Wuyang can still kill enemies for his country! What about you?"
"You have been favored by the emperor in this life, but you don't know how to be loyal to the country. You all deserve to die!"
While scolding, Wang Cheng whipped Zhou Ji hard and shouted: "Our family should really risk everything and execute you all to save the world from harm!"
These words wiped the emperor clean.
Tell the officials that this is Wang Cheng's own initiative and not the imperial edict of the central government.
Sure enough, the officials begged the emperor.
"You can appeal and prove your innocence."
"Anyone who was working normally in the government office when Nanjing City was attacked, or who cared about Nanjing City and took action, can appeal to Jinyiwei!"
"Each of you has only one opportunity to appeal."
"Jinyiwei will submit the complaint to Dali Temple, which will be verified by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. If the appeal is successful, the official will be reinstated."
"If your appeal fails, think about your own consequences!"
Wang Cheng returned to his seat: "Hit, thirty lashes for each person! Not one less lash!"
"Then he was imprisoned and his family was imprisoned, waiting to be found out!"
"If any family members escape, they will be treated as serious crimes!"
clap clap clap!
The sound of whips all over the sky seemed to indicate that the city of Nanjing had changed.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Nanjing was dominated by the gentry. After the four major Hongwu cases, the power of the gentry was completely suppressed.
Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing and moved away countless wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, which caused the foundation of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to be cut off.
But after the Yongle Dynasty passed, the gentry revived. By the ninth year of Jingtai, Nanjing City and even southern Zhejiang were ruled by the gentry.
This time the central board fell hard, regardless of good or bad, all were slapped hard.
The emperor used his strength to tell them that if I want to shoot you to death, I can shoot you to death!
The arrogant gentry can only be regarded as fish on the chopping board at this moment.
Because Ou Xin, leading [-] wolf soldiers, has set out from Nanjing City and reached Songjiang Mansion to first destroy the Japanese pirates and then the gentry.
And a steady stream of soldiers were sent to South Zhili.
"Come here! Arrest all the residents in Nanjing City!"
Wang Cheng ordered again.
The people watching the excitement were in an uproar. Some people looked at each other, as if they were trying to arrest us?
"Nanjing students, if you don't come forward when the country is in crisis, you should all be punished!"
Wang Cheng did not execute him directly, which was against the imperial edict.
Anyway, when all the students are arrested, isn't it just a matter of his words whether to kill or to retain them?
The official who had been whipped thirty times was escorted off.
The official robe must have been taken back by the court.
Only one prison uniform remained.
Whether you can wear it back depends on your actions that night.
Xu Chengzong and Xu Yongning, with signs hanging around their necks, knelt on the ground and cried silently.
They wanted to cry, but if they dared to cry, the people behind them would slap them and tell them to shut up.
He is a majestic prince, but he is worse than a dog.
Xu Chengzong and Xu Yongning finally saw the power of the imperial edict.
The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, could mobilize 10,000+ troops in an instant with just an imperial edict to march to Zhili in the south.
One imperial edict can kill two princes.
An imperial edict can execute all Nanjing officials.
An imperial edict can completely destabilize Southern Zhili.
This is the power of the imperial edict.
In fact, there is not even a single person who opposes it. This is the ultimate imperial power!
There were only two emperors who had the ultimate imperial power, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong.
"Are our lives so worthless?" Xu Chengzong murmured to himself.
He didn't know that the emperor's execution of them was the most uncontroversial thing in the entire court.
As for the political impact of the death of the two princes?
It seems that there is really no such thing. It is estimated that the Duke of Guizhou, which is far away in Yunnan, will feel a little uncomfortable. However, the Duke of Guizhou will soon submit a letter of apology and ask the central government to take back the position of Duke.
The emperor's imperial power would frighten the world.
Look, Ou Xin's [-] troops are passing through Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Ren Li was scolded by the emperor and returned to Zhongdu in despair. He also left his soldiers in Nanjing to garrison Nanjing.
Jiangxi, which has been under blockade for a year, has been released as soon as an imperial decree says.
Once the imperial edict is issued, no one in the world dares to disobey it.
As for the emperor, he is thousands of miles away, and he only remotely controls Nanzhili. If he came in person, it would probably be even more terrifying.
The sky has changed!
Fanzi arrested people according to the list, and all the students who passed the examination as scholar or above were arrested.
The city was in mourning.
Hu Wei, who was in Zhejiang, received an imperial edict from the central government at the same time, parachuted Zhang Gu to serve as the garrison of Zhejiang. Hu Wei was reassigned as the deputy garrison of Zhejiang, and sent Hu Wei to lead troops to station in Hangzhou.
Hu Hui saw the emperor's deep intention. His father Hu Hui was coming to take charge of Nanzhili, and his son would not be able to hold military power.
And he settled in Hangzhou Prefecture to help defend Southern Zhili.
Once there are changes in southern Zhili, he can immediately send his troops northward.
At the same time, he also secretly visited Xiaoxiao in Hangzhou Prefecture to guard Zhejiang.
At the same time, Jin Zhong in Jiangxi also received an imperial edict from the cabinet and transferred Jin Zhong to Nanzhili.
There is also a secret letter from the emperor.
After Jin Zhong read it, he couldn't help sighing: "Jiangxi is just a little short of success!"
He expects Jiangxi to be completely cleared by the end of this year.
But Nanzhili is more anxious.
He could only leave Yan Fang in Jiangxi and continue to finish the work, while he immediately set off for Nanjing.
Yang Xin was suppressing bandits in Ganzhou Prefecture. He received the imperial edict late and did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately organized his troops and marched into southern Zhili.
It was Ye Sheng who left with Jin Zhong.
Ye Sheng has been looking for news about Yinshan, and he actually found Yinshan. According to the merchant's confession, he checked the historical records and was almost certain that Yinshan was in Boni Country (Kalimantan).
But before the report was sent to the central government, he received an imperial edict from the central government to send him to guard southern Zhili.
Jiangxi affairs were all left to Ma Jin.
Ma Jin was very dissatisfied with Jin Zhong's rectification of Jiangxi, because most of his power was taken away by Jin Zhong. He, the just and righteous governor, was actually the most leisurely person in Jiangxi.
Jin Zhong is gone, and he is the happiest. He can finally take back the power of governor.
In the imperial edict, Jin Zhong, Ye Sheng and Yang Xin were transferred to Southern Zhili.
The Tiger and Leopard Army led by Yang Xin is about to leave South Zhili. The Tiger and Leopard Army has surged from 3 to 1000.
The Jiangxi Army is temporarily commanded by Zhang Shan, and the center will airborne the general troops.
The Tiger and Leopard Army took away 1000 people, leaving the Jiangxi Army with only 2 people, including [-] naval troops under Zhang Shan.
Ma Jin vaguely guessed that the Central Committee would transfer Zhu Yi to temporarily take charge of the Jiangxi Army.
After Jiangxi is completely plowed and all the silver is transported to Beijing, Zhu Yi will be transferred and a civilian will be sent to take charge of the army.
The emperor made such a big fuss in Nanjing. In order to appease the civilian officials, he would definitely give them more power and let them control the army.
There is also a deeper meaning: civilians in charge of the army will not rebel. South Zhili already has many large armies, which is already very dangerous. If Jiangxi again has military generals in charge of the army, the emperor will not sleep well.
However, Fang Ying was in Annan. It was the rainy season in Annan at the moment, and the imperial edict could not reach Annan at all.
The transfer of 30 troops from Guangxi can only wait until the rainy season passes.
Ming Dynasty did maintain an army of 200 million.
But there are 130 million Guangxi soldiers. These people are said to be soldiers, but in fact they are natives, just to facilitate immigration.
60 people have been removed, and Fang Ying still has 70 people in hand.
The number of troops that can actually go to the battlefield does not exceed 80. The number seems to be a lot, but when placed in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, it seems to be very small.
Especially for the cavalry, there are only 10,000+ people, which is far from enough.
Hu Hui was already on his way to Nanzhili. Following him was a young man who was very depressed. He was Song Wei's son, Song Zi.
The emperor sent Song Zi to arrest his biological father, Song Wei.
But Song Zi was grateful to the emperor. If it weren't for the sake of his father's loyalty, the emperor would definitely have issued an imperial edict and ordered Song Wei to be killed.
Sending him, his biological son, was also to appease Song Wei's mood.
On the way, Song Zi said nothing and repeatedly reviewed the Battle of Nanjing. If it were him, he would have arranged it like this. Why did his father lose?
"Kui Nian, your father's arrangement is not wrong."
Hu Bi knew that Song Zi was in a low mood, so she called him over in her spare time and comforted him: "The fault lies in not seeing through people's hearts, and the failure lies in the details."
"But Song Wei defeated the Japanese pirates in Qingpu City, which can be regarded as making up for the situation."
"If he can let go of his hatred and rectify the Japanese pirates, there may be hope for a comeback."
"Quinian, your father has gone through this. If he can get through it, he will become a famous general one day. If he can't, he will be infamy for thousands of years."
Song Zi lowered his head, with tears in his eyes.
He knew very well his father's ambition, and he wanted to earn a title for himself.
But he made a big mistake.
"Famous generals are trained after countless failures."
"Only when you are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat can you have the qualities of a famous general."
"When you see your father, you should tell him that your Majesty ordered him to start as a pawn in order to train him. He should be able to endure his temper and train himself."
"Ten years from now, he will definitely become a famous general."
"Don't be anxious or get angry, take care of yourself, ask for advice humbly, start from the bottom, and you will become something great."
Hu Bi felt sorry for Song Wei.
Song Wei's defeat was due to his political immaturity and his taking the war situation for granted.
He viewed the battle as a tactical lesson.
The battle situations in the classroom are all rigid and fixed.
The real battlefield is ever-changing and ever-changing, and famous generals can make the most correct decisions based on favorable circumstances.
Look at Yu Qian's battles, why he always fights smoothly? It's because he can amplify his advantages according to the battle situation and constantly make decisions that are most beneficial to him.
These decisions may not be right, but they must be beneficial. If there are more advantages, the headwind battle will become a tailwind battle, and Yu Qian will become a master tactician.
As for politics, you must think the worst about people and never underestimate the dangers of people's hearts.
Song Zi knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings!"
"You should take this as a lesson, study hard in the martial arts hall, don't talk about military affairs on paper, go to the army to practice more, and clear your father's shame in the future." Hu Hui encouraged him.
"Students will live up to the teachings of their master!"
Know your shame and be brave!
Only then can one become a hero.
Song Zi swore secretly.
And in North Korea, Uiju.
Wang Yue set up a large number of shelters on the border between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty to take in North Korean people and move them into Liaohetao.
Although he is based in Uiju, the shelter has spread far outside Pyongyang.
There were thousands of ships from North Korea to and from the Ming Dynasty every day, and about tens of thousands of people were moved into the Ming Dynasty every day.
Of course North Korean people are willing to go to China. Who wants to be a dog if they can go to China and live like a human being?
The North Korean monarch Yi Ao turned a blind eye to this.
Because he had already hunted south and fled to Seoul.
The person who calls the shots in Pyongyang is Jianzhou Jurchen Li Manzhu.
Li Man has lived in Pyongyang for nine months, but he has no intention of leaving. He has great intentions of taking root here, and even organized and trained a North Korean army.
He turned a blind eye to Wang Yue's immigration to North Korea because he wanted to have an opinion. The problem was that Mao Zhong took away his nest.
The old nest of Jianzhou was flattened by Mao Zhong.
The old and weak in the clan do not know whether to live or die.
Although for Li Manzhu, the Jurchens should be used as their bed, and their nest will be gone if it is gone, and it will not hurt them at all. The problem is that they are disgusting. The old Jurchens are clamoring to go home, which leads to unstable military morale.
Fortunately, there was a court flag to help him stabilize his determination.
So he just acts like a coward in Pyongyang and vents his anger on North Korea.
Wang Yue could immigrate as hard as possible and strive to move all of northern Korea.
Mao Zhong was in Jurchen's home base in Jianzhou, and he could take advantage of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
The king of Korea, Li Yao, was depressed in Seoul and kept writing letters to the emperor, asking for heavenly troops to rescue Korea.
The emperor sometimes wrote back, saying that his troops were in Uiju and could send troops into Korea at any time.
They have been saying this since March, and now it is July. They are still saying this. The Korean soldiers are no match for the Jurchen soldiers and are retreating steadily.
The Jurchen soldiers have already reached Seoul, should they continue to hunt south?
However, Li Yao heard that Wang Yue, the chief military officer of North Korea, was sheltering North Korean people and immigrating to the Ming Dynasty. He had no intention of going south, so he could only invite Luo Qi and Cheng Xin.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin were also unlucky.
As an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, he actually followed the Korean monarch and fled throughout Korea.
"See Your Majesty!"
Luo Qi spoke eloquently: "My God, the Holy One, cares about all the people and cannot bear the Korean people to be devastated by the war, so I temporarily immigrated to Liaoning. After the war is over, I will naturally allow the Korean people to return to the DPRK."
Li Yao is not an easy king to fool.
He did not succeed to the throne smoothly, but imitated Ming Taizong and made peace difficult for the world.
He also grabbed the throne of his nephew, Danjong of Joseon.
In the fourth year of Jingtai's reign, he conquered the whole country of Korea, which was known as the "Guiyou Jingnan" in history. In the seventh year of Jingtai, he was officially canonized by the Ming Emperor.
The two vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea imitated Emperor Taizong and settled the emperor Jingnan, and Annan imitated the orthodox emperor and seized the throne, and they both quietly called themselves Little China.Why don't you learn something?
"Let's not talk about the people's affairs for now, when will the Kingdom send troops?" Li Yao looked at Luo Qi with burning eyes.
Luo Qi has been good at dancing since she came to North Korea. She has been in contact with the Supreme Emperor Li Hongwei many times and has impure thoughts.
"Back to the king!"
Luo Qi smiled and said: "Now that the dynasty has destroyed the Jianzhou den and occupied Jianzhou, the Jurchen tribe has lost its base, and people's hearts are floating. It won't take long for our Chaohu division to go south to rescue North Korea. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Li Yao's eyes were sinister, why didn't Ming come?
He is not a foolish king. He once had a strong army in his hands.
But after the Jingnan victory, he generously rewarded the army. This army quickly deteriorated and could not defeat the Jurchens and other tiger and wolf troops.
"Can you please ask your envoy to ask your majesty to allocate a batch of firearms to North Korea?"
Li Yao no longer plans to beg the Ming Dynasty, but plans to arm herself and fight back!
If he can successfully pacify the enemy, can he still not expel the foreign enemies?
Luo Qi said: "The roads between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea are blocked, and there are Japanese pirates roaming the sea. Even if our country wants to allocate firearms, it will be difficult to transport them to North Korea."
"Guyuan will send the navy to receive firearms from Ming Dynasty!" Li Yao gritted his teeth.
The Ming Dynasty just wanted to use North Korea to consume the Jurchens!
Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.
You are no match for the Jurchens, let us, North Korea, be a target!Is there anyone like you who goes to heaven?
"This……"
Luo Qi pondered slightly. He knew very well what his mission was, which was to bring chaos to North Korea to the extreme, so that Ming Dynasty could seize North Korea.
Cheng Xin bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please allow the foreign minister to tell the truth."
"Please tell me." Li Yao wanted to hear the truth.
"North Korea is the flesh and blood of China, and China has no intention of turning a blind eye."
"It's just what the king did that chilled the heart of heaven and your majesty!"
Cheng Xin said loudly: "As we all know, the land in the northeast of Korea was given by Emperor Taizong. It was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, but it was given to Korea. It can be said that it is a great kindness."
"The poor people in Korea were poor, so Your Majesty lived frugally and gave Korea many goods. He traded with Korea every year, and the Ming Dynasty suffered losses again and again. This was a favor to the vassal state."
"Although Your Majesty is a king, you are also a minister of His Majesty."
"The Emperor's kindness is so great, but the King doesn't know how to repay His Majesty. It's like he was born with a blind eye."
"In the eighth year of Jingtai, the Holy Emperor decreed that vassal countries were not allowed to use their own country's era names and all use the next year's name. Can North Korea implement it?"
"In the eighth year of Jingtai, the Tatars invaded the border. The Holy Emperor issued an order to North Korea to raise grain and grass and sell it to the Ming Dynasty at a high price. However, North Korea sat back and watched the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars and refused to sell grain and grass. Fortunately, your majesty brought great blessings to the sky, and Xing Guogong was destroyed in one battle. Tatar, and capture the land of Mobei!"
"Furthermore, in the 11th year of Orthodoxy, the king actually wanted to abolish Chinese characters and create Korean characters. Official books are no longer written in Chinese, and he is good at revising history without the permission of the Celestial Empire. This is betraying the Ming Dynasty!"
"There are so many more!"
"Now that North Korea is in trouble, it turns to Heaven for help. However, His Majesty ignored the past grievances and still sent troops to rescue North Korea. His Majesty believes that North Korea is a compatriot of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty is the father of the world. He regards the King as his own son, so he sends troops to assist."
"Heaven sent troops and paid to aid North Korea."
"But the king ignores the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty and keeps urging and forcing. Is this the way a lower country treats a higher country?"
Cheng Xin was full of resentment.
The Ming Dynasty was truly benevolent to North Korea.
Taizu made Korea a country without conquests, and Emperor Taizong granted land to Korea. Emperors Renzong, Xuanzong, and Zhengtong all treated Korea with utmost benevolence and righteousness.
The current emperor has also continued to give favors to North Korea in the past few years.
But how did North Korea repay Ming Dynasty?
He regarded the imperial edict as fart and regarded Zhu Qiyu as a fool.
The main reason why Li Yao was disliked by Zhu Qiyu was that Li Yao created Korean writing, which was a precursor to breaking away from the Han cultural circle.
North Korea and Annan are written entirely in Chinese and do not have their own writing or language.
The Japanese state used a large amount of Chinese characters and a small amount of its own characters.
The vassal states of Sanxuan, Liuwei, Champa, etc. all use Chinese as their official text.
Even overseas countries such as Bo Ni wanted to use Chinese as their official text, but they could not get the emperor's permission.
In this era, using Chinese is a supreme honor!
Li Yao was attacked by Cheng Xin with a gun and a stick, and she was furious. Her face was slightly gloomy and she said:
"If the Holy One comes to the country with hatred because of this, he is willing to abolish the Korean script, raise military funds for the Ming Dynasty, and go to the capital in person to explain the reason to the Holy One!"
"I just ask the Holy One to ignore the past grudges and send heavenly troops to rescue North Korea!"
He felt aggrieved too!
If he had a strong army five years ago, would he be so ashamed?
"If Your Majesty really cares, why would you send Commander-in-Chief Wang Yue to lead the army?" Luo Qi said with a smile.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin, one pretends to be red-faced and the other pretends to be black-faced.
Luo Qi is responsible for socializing, and Cheng Xin is responsible for scolding.
"As soon as the road is clear, I will go to the Ming Dynasty in person to plead with my father-in-law!" Regardless of Li Yao's age, Zhu Qiyu is still his father-in-law.
Cheng Xin snorted coldly.
Luo Qi said with a smile: "You still need His Majesty's grace to go to Hajj."
That's right, if Zhu Qiyu doesn't give the order, Li Yao hasn't had the chance to meet Tianyan yet!
Ming Dynasty is so arrogant.
"Yes, yes, please give me a few kind words." Li Yao didn't dare to act like the King of Korea anymore.
In fact, he created Korean writing because he saw the decline of Ming Dynasty.
The decline of the Ming Dynasty began with the three conquests of Luchuan.
The small Luchuan Kingdom had to be conquered three times by the Ming Dynasty before it was vaguely called "annihilated".
This allowed Oara, Tartar, Ulyanha, Korea, Annan, Champa and other countries to see it, even the vassal states such as Wushen, Duosi, Nurgandusi, and even Hami, Turpan, Ulyanha and other vassal states. The decline of the Ming Dynasty.
From that time on, these countries began to want to tear off a piece of fat from Ming Dynasty.
It has been nine years since Jingtai.
The Ming Dynasty had been in decline for 20 years, and suddenly it suddenly became stronger.
Defeating Oara, defeating the Tatars, and occupying the land of Mobei showed the power of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Yao secretly stayed in the palace, constantly reviewing Zhu Qiyu's political actions, and finally came to a conclusion: if the soldiers were given full pay and allowed to be captured by the soldiers, there would be an unexpected outcome.
Therefore, the Jurchens invaded North Korea this year.
Li Yao also paid full wages to the Jingying camp, and even tried to sell it. The result turned out to be that Seoul could no longer defend itself with continued hunting south...
He never figured it out, why?
Zhu Qiyu paid the soldiers full pay, and the Ming army burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.
He also paid full pay to his soldiers, why is it useless!
Nonsense, is your so-called full salary payment really going on?
Li Yao was blinded by a leaf.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, the Ming Dynasty Iron Cavalry, are unrivaled in the world."
Luo Qi bowed and said: "Commander Wang Yue, leading [-] cavalry, is hovering at the border between the two countries. As long as he finds a suitable opportunity, he will definitely send his troops south."
There are only 2 people, which is a bit small.
The problem is that northern Korea is mountainous and it is difficult for cavalry to deploy. If cavalry is used to fight in mountain warfare, it is equal to death.
Moreover, the cavalry in Wang Yue's hands were from the Liaoning army and mixed Hu and Han cavalry.
Most of them are Tatar soldiers. These soldiers still do not speak Chinese. If they are released rashly, these people will easily escape.
Therefore, Wang Yue would rather keep it and stay in northern Korea, neither moving forward nor retreating.
The northern part of Korea is mountainous, and the cavalry cannot be deployed. The Tatar soldiers cannot escape even if they want to, so they can only be in the hands of Wang Yue and let Wang Yue do whatever he wants.
Wang Yue killed three birds with one stone while Chineseizing the Tatar soldiers, accepting immigrants, and observing the situation in North Korea.
"Your Majesty, the weather will get colder soon."
"Please also ask your envoy to urge the heavenly soldiers to go south quickly."
"I have prepared banquets and goods in Seoul, and I am just waiting for the heavenly soldiers to arrive."
This meeting was quite an unpleasant one.
As soon as Luo Qi and Cheng Xin left, Li Yao was smashing things in the palace: "The Ming Dynasty is ambitious and wants to see the conflict between Korea and the Jurchens, and he is so greedy for profit!"
Just as the Ming Dynasty envoys left, all the important officials from North Korea came.
Zheng Linzhi played a decisive role in the history of North Korea. He was the one who created the Korean script, and he was also the one who presided over the compilation of the history of North Korea!
He is also the first contributor to North Korea's peace.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Ming Dynasty's ambition is not this!" Zheng Linzhi said, of course, in Chinese.
North Korea's top leaders all speak Chinese and read Han classics. They also subconsciously think that they are Han Chinese.
"What else?" Li Yao was stunned.
Zheng Lin bowed and said: "Then Cheng Xin claimed that North Korea's creation of writing and compilation of historical annals was a major crime!"
Li Yao was stunned. Isn't this an excuse?
Does it mean something?
Suddenly, he thought of Cheng Xin's words, covering the land of Mobei.
"The Central Plains won't want to include North Korea, right?" This idea shocked Li Yao herself.
North Korea is so bad, can the Central Plains take notice?
Why has North Korea never been included in the Central Plains Dynasty?
Because North Korea has messed up itself and made itself extremely bad, the Central Plains Dynasty definitely doesn’t want it.
The second is to be submissive. North Korea is extremely submissive to China.
Zheng Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, I think the possibility is extremely high."
"The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty seems to have become a different person since he defeated the rebellion."
"His ambitions became clear, and his political measures were all for the country and the people, and the Ming Dynasty became prosperous again."
"Originally, this prosperity may have to wait a few years, but the defeat of the Tatars was a shock to the past and the present."
"The power of the Tatars is deeply felt by me in North Korea. The Jurchens are still suppressed by the Tatars, but the Jurchens act recklessly in North Korea, which shows how strong their soldiers are."
"And the Ming Dynasty actually defeated the Tatars in one battle, collected the Tatar soldiers, captured the Tatar lands, and converted the Tatar people into Han people."
"His ambition is as strong as the Emperor Taizong of the Heavenly Dynasty during his lifetime."
Zheng Linzhi even believed that he was a member of the imperial dynasty, and the dynastic people should have their own writing and history, and could not always condescend to the imperial dynasty.
Therefore, he was very wary of Da Ming and always thought bad things about Da Ming.
The expressions of North Korean monarchs and ministers changed instantly.
Han Que, the second hero of Jingnan, sneered: "What's the use of encompassing the land of Mobei?"
"Emperor Taizong is so terrifying. He seals the wolf as his subordinate, strangles the stone swallows, and covers the vast land."
"But during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, didn't they just throw it away?"
"Those lands are even more barren than the land in North Korea. What's the use of them?"
"Besides, Emperor Taizong was very good to North Korea."
That's right.
The Ming Emperor was very good to North Korea and really raised North Korea as his own son.
The current territory of North Korea was determined by Emperor Taizong, and there was also a piece of land given by Emperor Taizong.
This land grant has a lot to do with Han Que.
"Then can you see the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor of China?" Zheng Linzhi asked him.
Han Que said: "It is ambitious. At most it will only consume the national power of North Korea and the Jurchens. Is it possible to really annex North Korea?"
These words caused laughter in the hall.
If North Korea was very rich, it would indeed be no problem.
The key point is that North Korea is poor, and the poor have to rely on Dad Ming to support them. It’s not that North Korea doesn’t want to fall into Dad’s arms, but that Dad doesn’t want it.
"What do you know!"
Zheng Lin scolded: "North Korea is a country, not the land of the Ming Dynasty! It should have its own writing and culture!"
"Instead of selling your sister for glory like you did!"
In an instant, Han Que's face turned red.
Han Que's sister was very beautiful. During the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Taizong sent eunuchs to North Korea to recruit girls. He paid for his sister to be selected. He escorted her to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and presented her to him.
Her sister was named Concubine Li by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong even wanted to marry his daughter to Han Que, but Han Que refused because she was too far away from home.
Because of Concubine Li, Emperor Taizong gave North Korea a piece of land with a wave of his hand.
Therefore, Taizong's grant of land had a lot to do with Han Que.
More than ten years later, Emperor Xuanzong sent eunuchs to North Korea to procure women. He wanted to offer his young sister to Emperor Xuanzong, but his sister refused and scolded him, making him infamous.
In the end, Han Guilan was sent to the Ming court.
Now she is still serving in the palace. She is just a female official and has not been favored by Emperor Xuanzong.
When Luo Qi came, he also sent a handwritten letter from his sister.
"It is a great honor for me and my sister to be valued by His Majesty. How can it be so unbearable as you say?"
"It is precisely because my sister was awarded the title of Concubine Li that Emperor Taizong granted me the gift of land!"
"The territory of North Korea is due to my contribution, Han Que!"
Han Que pointed at him: "Zheng Linzhi, you are a hero of Jingnan, and so am I. I hold an important position, how can I be inferior to you?"
"Say that Ming Dynasty annexed North Korea?"
"Hmph, if the emperor of China decrees, he will take over this barren land like North Korea."
"Do you know how many people in the world will celebrate!"
"Not annexation like what you said!"
"What an honor it is to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty!"
This statement actually aroused the agreement of many important ministers.
The Ming Dynasty's infiltration into North Korea was so pervasive that even a Ming person would not feel like he was in a foreign country in North Korea.
However, he didn't notice that Li Yao's face had become extremely gloomy.
"Selling your sister for glory, betraying your country for glory!" Zheng Linzhi scolded Han Que.
Han Minghui stood up and said to Xi Ni: "You two, now is not the time to quarrel. The national crisis is at hand. We should work together as one."
Han Minghui was called "my son's wife" by Li Yao.
Although he ranked third among the heroes of Jingnan, the person Li Yao trusted the most was Han Minghui.
Followed by Quan Zhu (lan three times).
Quan Zhu has completely degenerated and is no longer of great use.
"Zijun (Han Minghui), tell me."
Li Yao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He didn't want to hear the quarrel. The Jurchen soldiers were close at hand. What a quarrel. If the quarrel continued, North Korea would be gone.
"What does the Ming Dynasty want? We can't control it, and we don't need to."
Han Minghui smiled bitterly and said: "If Ming Dynasty has the intention to annex North Korea, we cannot stop it."
"Old minister, I see that His Majesty has no intention of annexing North Korea. If you don't believe me, you can submit a request to annex North Korea. I am sure His Majesty will refuse."
Because North Korea is poor!
It’s not like North Korea has never included it, Ming Dynasty really doesn’t want it.
Also wanted to include the Balni Kingdom and the Champa Kingdom.
Daming really dislikes it.
"We still need help from China in this battle, otherwise North Korea will not be able to regain the lost territory."
Han Minghui said: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to immediately abolish the Korean characters, abolish the Joseon era name, use the Jingtai era name, and prepare Korean beauties, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and send the navy to heaven to ask your Majesty to grant a batch of firearm."
Han Que was quite proud of himself.
Look, the only thing North Korea has to offer is beauty.
North Korea is rich in beauties.
The emperors of the Chinese dynasty all liked Korean concubines. Now Emperor Jingtai does not have Korean concubines. He only needs to select a large number of beauties and send them to the Ming Dynasty by water.
With the emperor's favor, North Korea naturally has everything.
The so-called waterway is not across the Bohai Sea, but around the border of North Korea, going to Yizhou, bypassing the Jurchen soldiers, disembarking from Liaoning, and taking the land route to Beijing.
Zheng Linzhi sighed deeply. His greatest wish was to create Korean language, create Korean history, and compile "History of Goryeo".
This shows his ambition.
It started from Goguryeo and even secretly turned Goguryeo into Korean history.
There was even a map drawn.
Goguryeo is not from North Korea, and it doesn’t even have anything to do with North Korea!
"allow!"
Li Yao also knew the benefits of creating writing and forming a country of its own.
However, when the army is approaching the city, there is no rescue from the heavenly troops, and North Korea is gone, so what else can we think about writing.
"The minister who is going on an envoy needs an important minister who understands the Ming Dynasty and has a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty." Han Minghui almost said it bluntly, Han Que, you go.
Han Que was even more complacent.
His sister was named Concubine Li by Emperor Taizong.
Taizong's gift of land has a lot to do with Concubine Li.
The last time he was on an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, he had a very pleasant talk with the Ming Emperor. Emperor Jingtai praised him very much and wanted to retain him as an official in the Ming Dynasty.
This time, he will dedicate his most beautiful daughter to the Ming Emperor.
Li Yao also looked at him.
Han Que said, "I am your Majesty's servant. I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty!"
It is very dangerous to go to Daming by water.
Japanese pirates are rampant.
"But I have a depression in my heart that is difficult to relieve. The bad reputation of selling my sister for glory will accompany me throughout my life, and I can't let go of it!"
With that said, Han Que knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Zheng Linzhi knew that Han Que was petty, but now he threatened him with state affairs. How stupid he was.
Did you really not see the emperor’s expression at all?
Or do you only have the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in your heart and not the Emperor of Korea?
Pfft!
Zheng Lin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Han Que: "The arrogant words coming out of my mouth are like the barking of a dog. Please don't pay attention, Lord Han!"
"Yo yo yo, I am so virtuous and capable, but I am being worshiped by the hero of Jingnan. I can't bear it." Han Que smiled strangely.
Zheng Lin kept kowtowing.
When Li Yao saw this scene, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
This Han is really a traitor!
Do you really want North Korea to be absorbed into the Ming Dynasty...
Haven't you ever thought about how I will deal with myself then?
I won the throne, gave you wealth, and allowed you to struggle with power. That is what I allowed.
It’s not that I’m stupid, foolish or faint.
Just let you ride on my neck and shit!
"Han Que, do you need me to kneel down and kowtow three times for you?" Li Yao said coldly.
Han Que shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and kowtowed to Li Yao: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"I'm not dead yet, and North Korea isn't dead yet? It's not to the point where Korea can't survive without you!" Li Yao roared.
"I'm frivolous, I'm guilty!" Han Que kept kowtowing.
"If you don't want to go as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who can go and you won't be needed!" Li Yao was furious.
The Jurchen troops are approaching the city, and you are still fighting for power. Do you have North Korea in your heart?
Han Que was really scared.
This person won the world through rebellion. Although he was the second contributor to Jingnan, he had been corrupting and disrupting the government over the years, and the trust of the emperor and his ministers had long been worn away.
He just doesn't like Zheng Linzhi's aloof look. You are a civil servant and you are the only one who has the ability?
How am I, Han Que, worse than you?
In fact, it was Han Que who was responsible for Taizong's granting of the land. He had always been dissatisfied with the ranking of the heroes of Jingnan.
It exploded at this moment.
But ignored the emperor's feelings.
Moreover, his long talk about the virtues of the Ming Dynasty also touched the emperor's pride and angered him.
Although Li Yao claimed to be a minister to Zhu Qiyu, he was still an emperor behind closed doors.
Everyone is willing to compare with others.
But the most unpleasant thing to hear is that you are better than me!
