Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 145 King of Korea, Li Fangyuan
War is never a child's play, it is not something that can be decided and started with a touch of lips.

The March expedition date was set two years ago. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the [-] Yunnan soldiers mobilized by Zhu Zhanhe had already set off towards Shandong.

At the same time, Shenji Camp and Sanqian Camp also set off from Yingtianfu in early February, and their destination was Shandong.

Just like the Northern Expedition in the eighth year of Yongle's reign, in wars, decisions are always made first, and then soldiers, horses, food and fodder are mobilized, and places like border passes must be reached early before the generals set off.

For a war, three months of preparation time is relatively fast, but it can take as slow as half a year or even a year.

Shandong, Dengzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Zhanhe had almost no delays along the way. He set off from his home to Shenglong City to transfer to Wang Jinghong's fleet, then went directly to Liujiagang in Taicang, took away the treasure fleet that had already been prepared here, and finally arrived in Shandong .

"Liu Sheng pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Li Bin pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Zhu Zhanhe got off the boat at Zhoufu Pier, Liu Sheng and Li Bin came to greet him. As for Tan Zhong...

He doesn't have the qualifications yet.

"His Royal Highness, the Three Thousand Battalion and the Divine Machine Battalion have been prepared and ready to go at any time!"

"Have you brought everything?" Zhu Zhanhe walked straight out of the dock and headed towards the military camp without stopping.

"We are going to Japan. Although we will mainly fight on land, the water vapor on the sea is too large, which will have a great impact on the firearms. We must pay attention to good maintenance."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! As early as a month ago, [-] Japanese troops led civilians to North Korea. Seven days ago, North Korea sent a message saying that they had arrived in Hanyang!"

"Well, Marquis Anyuan is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years and has experience in dealing with Japanese pirates. You should be aware of the importance of this kind of thing."

Arriving at the entrance of the military camp, Zhu Zhanhe stopped and looked at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion who were already lined up.

The Shenji Battalion was okay. Although it was a little excited, it was still within the normal range, but the Three Thousand Battalion was different.

The Three Thousand Battalion can be said to be the old army of the King of Han. During the northern expedition to the grasslands, Zhu Di once gave up the first victory in capturing Benya Shili to the Three Thousand Battalion in order to suppress Zhu Zhanhe.

The entire Three Thousand Battalion soldiers are all loyal to the King of Han's family, from the first King of Han to the current Crown Prince of Han.

The enthusiasm on their faces was beyond ordinary.

For the soldiers of Shenji Battalion, this expedition is the most normal war, the only difference is that the commander is Zhu Zhanhe.

After a Northern Expedition and a Southern Expedition, Zhu Zhanhe's name had already been resounding throughout the Ming Dynasty, but every soldier knew Zhu Zhanhe.

Almost all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had a unified view, that is, following Zhu Zhanhe in the war would be a good way to gain military merit!

Come to think of it, with a general who dares to build a capital and set fire to mountains, he will definitely have a lot of success.

But for the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion, this time was not just about military merit. They first had to repay Zhu Zhanhe's love.

Although the love for a first achievement was distributed to the entire Three Thousand Battalion, it was not something that the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion could obtain casually.

"Are you all ready?" Zhu Zhanhe stood still and looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile.

Although the voice was very soft, it made all the soldiers excited.

After all, although the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion were both part of the three major battalions, their actual numbers were really small, and together they only amounted to about 1 people.

"Ready!" The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky.

However, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion were obviously louder.

The smile on Zhu Zhanhe's face became even brighter. He took out the saber that had not been used much from his waist and raised the saber to the sky.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Long live Daming!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Long live!"

Zhu Zhanhe stood still, took a deep breath, and turned the saber in his hand downwards.

"Let's go, board the ship!"

-

Zhu Zhanhe is actually not a sociable person. Things like communication usually have nothing to do with him, because in his previous interactions, they were basically not for the purpose of connecting feelings and interests.

His communication usually took the form of killing people and ransacking homes, so not many people liked him.

But this time he obviously couldn't escape.

On the ship to North Korea, countless people came to talk to Zhu Zhanhe. From Liu Sheng, Li Bin, and Tan Zhong at the beginning, to the last three thousand battalion, and even the soldiers of the Shenji battalion would come to talk to him with shy faces. Two sentences.

Regarding the Shenji Camp, he basically talked a few words in an official manner, but he talked more about the Three Thousand Camp.

After all, the Three Thousand Battalion was once a unit under his father's command, and the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion once shared his affection and were more enthusiastic than the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

Fortunately, military people are usually more relaxed, unlike civil servants who have to avoid pitfalls at all times.

It is actually not that far from Shandong to North Korea, but it still takes a certain amount of time with the level of navigation in this era.

At sunset, the fleet finally arrived in Hanyang.

Hanyang, this name felt strange to Zhu Zhanhe, but he knew that Hanyang would later be changed to a name he was more familiar with: Seoul.

"The Great King of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, met the Crown Prince of Han."

As soon as Zhu Zhanhe got off the boat, Li Fangyuan, the king of Joseon, also known as the Maharaja, came to meet him.

In the Ming Dynasty's etiquette system, Li Fangyuan, the king of Korea, was actually one head taller than Zhu Zhanhe, because Zhu Zhanhe was now just the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, and he was at the level of a county king.

Before the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen rewarded King Gun of Goryeo with nine chapters of his robes and treated him with the same ceremony as the Prince of Ming Dynasty, which was also used in the Yongle Dynasty.

Therefore, according to the etiquette system, Li Fangyuan is actually on the same level as Zhu Zhanhe's father, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han.

But this is not important. Zhu Zhanhe is different from others in the past, and Li Fangyuan does not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

A view of Beijing, a knife (fire) fire (fire) planting (mountain) is enough to make Li Fangyuan restrained.

Although there are reasons for both Beijing and Shanshan, Zhu Zhanhe's approach can be said to be completely inconsistent with the rules.

Having learned from the past, who knows if he will have another seizure?
"This time my son is conquering the Japanese country, you, North Korea, need to give you a lot of help, otherwise it will be very difficult." Zhu Zhanhe glanced at the people following Li Fangyuan, and then said with a smile.

"Without North Korea, the supply of Ming Dynasty will be a big problem. As a subordinate country of Ming Dynasty, I hope you can go all out."

"Your Highness, you are so polite." Li Fang couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he saw that Zhu Zhanhe was obviously inferior to him in terms of etiquette status, but he didn't show any humility.

But he had no choice but to laugh and chat with her.

"North Korea has suffered a lot from the Japanese pirates, and it is also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. It is the duty to help Ming Dynasty as much as possible, and it is also the result of the expectations of everyone in North Korea."

"That's good, that's good..." Zhu Zhanhe narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Although Li Fangyuan concealed it well, he still felt the strangeness from Li Fangyuan's expression and tone.

After all, as the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, he saw quite a few people.
