Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 583 Is this still the Ming Dynasty?

"hateful!!"

The angry voice echoed in the main hall. On the throne, a middle-aged man wearing a winged crown, a crimson dragon robe, and a jade belt around his waist showed anger. His hands were trembling slightly, and veins popped out on his forehead. This look made the palace The ministers standing in front of them all stood with their heads lowered, for fear of offending their king!
The middle-aged man on the throne is none other than King Lee Hyun of Joseon.

"Jiang Hongli, a rebellious minister, could actually do such an act of aiding the emperor, putting our court in danger!"

Li Hui's heart was burning with anger, and there was murderous intention in his brows. He roared angrily: "Even if we kill the entire Jiang family, it will not be able to relieve the hatred in my heart. Damn it!!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace showed different expressions.

The Jinzhou Jiang family has a high status in North Korea. It is a famous family with a long history. Jiang Hongli's grandfather Jiang Shishang served as the right councilor in the Seonjo Dynasty of North Korea, and his father Jiang Shen was the right high official. There are many people in the Jiang family who are engaged in politics. North Korea's political position is influential.

However, all this was accompanied by the Jianlu invasion of Hamgyong Province in North Korea, and the Jiang family was ordered by King Li Hui of North Korea to arrest them all.

Along with the Jiang family, the families of Kim Jingrui, Wu Shinnan, Park Lanying and others were arrested. This caused quite a stir in North Korea.

As for these arrested people, as news of the fall of Xianjingdao came back, the angry Li Hui ordered their execution!

It was just that Li Hui, who was in the royal city, never expected that he would fall into the Jianlu's alienation scheme. Although the people who were sent to the Ming Dynasty to assist in the war were captured and detained by the Jianlu after the defeat, some people did surrender to the Jianlu. However, there are still some people who do not, and Jin Jingrui is one of them!

Even if the Jianlu branch led by Huang Taiji invaded North Korea, Jin Jingrui also accompanied the army, but he was closely monitored. Huang Taiji's purpose was very impure.

Jin Jingrui, a famous general in the mid-term Joseon Dynasty of the Lee family. His first name was Jin Yingrui, and in 1613 he changed his name to Jingrui, with the courtesy name Shengfu. He was born in Longgang, Pingan Road. He joined the martial arts department in his early years and became famous during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. In the anti-Japanese war, he participated in the war with Zu Chengxun, Luo Shangzhi and other troops of the Ming Army. Later, he performed more eye-catchingly in the Battle of Ulsan and won the award. He received awards from Yang Hao and Admiral Ma Gui.

However, due to his unusual relationship with Liu Chenglong, not long after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Southern Party led by Liu Chenglong collapsed. Jin Jingrui was also affected and was constantly impeached by the Northerners.

Party strife is by no means a unique product of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever there are people, there must be such struggles. After all, the temptation brought by power is too great.

How many things in this world are caused by fighting?
I'm afraid there are countless.

"Your Majesty, we must not throw away the east and west paths of peace!"

Under such circumstances, a man walked out of the court, held the imperial scepter, bowed to Li Hui and said: "If anything goes wrong on the Ping An Road, the Gyeonggi Road will be exposed to the front of the Jianlu soldiers, and the Yellow Sea Road will be left alone." With support, it may be difficult to withstand Jianlu’s offensive!”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Another person followed closely and said: "The current chaos is difficult for our family to support alone. It cannot be defeated by the heavenly army sent by the Heavenly Kingdom!"

Li Hui frowned.

He knew that as the frontline war situation became increasingly anxious, the domestic situation must be different, especially in the court, but Li Hui did not expect that each of the ministers he relied on would behave like this.

Unlike other vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is undoubtedly the most similar to the Ming Dynasty. From etiquette, to institutions, to culture, and even clothing and customs, it can be said that all aspects are imitating the Ming Dynasty. This also makes North Korea have too many people who yearn for it. The existence of the Ming Dynasty includes some famous families!
"Now that our country is experiencing chaos, I have no objection to the transfer of Jeju Island to solve the problem of the conquest sent by the Heavenly Kingdom."

Li Hui gathered his thoughts, glanced at the ministers standing in front of the palace, and said in a low tone: "But if we are asked to come here to deal with the food and salary supply of the Heavenly Army who entered the war, how can we come up with it? Since the Jianlu invaded our country, the people under our rule have Rebellions broke out in many places, and there were even several disasters. The royal treasury was empty, and it was difficult to maintain the front lines! "

When Li Hui said this, all the ministers standing in the palace lowered their heads again.

Seeing this scene, Li Hui felt angry in his heart again.

Speaking of which, Li Hui felt extremely regretful. The reason why he sent a mission to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty was influenced by the great victory of Liaozuo. However, Li Hui never expected that Li Hui actually sneaked back and brought back a message that the Ming Dynasty Li Hui wanted to lease a port on Jeju Island to support the Jianlu to counter the rebellion, but Li Hui was resistant to this.

It is easy to ask God but hard to send God away.

Although North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, it is imitating the Ming Dynasty in all aspects. But for Li Hui, he does not want his independent dynasty to really have a bunch of great men.

However, no one expected that not long after the peaceful days, Jianlu came to invade North Korea. The strong offensive displayed by Jianlu shocked the whole country.

For this reason, Li Hui actively mobilized the army to resist the invading Jianlu army, and at the same time sent ministers to the Ming Dynasty urgently to implore the suzerain country, the Ming Dynasty, to send troops to help. But the news brought back from Ming Dynasty made Li Hui completely dumbfounded.

It is possible to send troops for reinforcements, and even the Ming Dynasty has mobilized large armies. However, Jeju Island must be handed over to the Ming Dynasty to provide food and grass for the army and to fight against the captives. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty will not give one tael of silver. The most critical point is For the Ming army participating in the resistance against the Japanese invaders, all military supplies and equipment during their stay in Korea had to be paid for by North Korea's money and grain. The Ming Dynasty did not adjust the food supply by one tael or one pound of grain.

Is this still the Ming Dynasty?

Li Hui reacted when he learned the news. He suspected that what he heard was false news, and even lost his temper at the ministers who were sent as envoys to the Ming Dynasty.

But reality is often so cruel.

That's the thing.

It's okay to help North Korea fight against the Jianlu, but Ming Dynasty needs benefits, Jeju Island is one, and food and salary supply is the second, but this is unacceptable to Li Hui.

When did the Heavenly Kingdom become so stingy? ?
When the Japanese rebellion broke out in North Korea, North Korea also sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help. To this end, the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to North Korea. During the battle with the Japanese pirates, North Korea did not help the Ming army raise one tael of silver or one pound of food, even in the early and middle stages of the war. , very few Korean troops directly participated in the war, it was the Ming army that was always fighting the Japanese pirates!

But why has everything changed now?

Li Hui really couldn't figure it out, even now.

Why did the Ming Dynasty change its emperor and everything was different from the past?
You can't have sex for nothing, which Li Hui cannot accept.

"Your Majesty, in this current situation, if we don't invite the Heavenly Army to join the battle, the situation will probably be even worse." When Li Hui was dissatisfied, the man who first stood up hesitated for a moment and then bowed.

"According to what I know, the Heavenly Army of the previous dynasty is gathered in the Zhenjiang Fort area. As long as our court can solve the problem of food and salary supply for the Heavenly Army, they can go to North Korea to join the war at any time!"

"As I said just now, there is no money in the royal treasury!!"

Li Hui said extremely dissatisfied.

Li Hui was a little annoyed with the person in front of him. In the past, no matter what problems arose, he would help him solve problems, but now he behaves like this.

This made Li Hui very dissatisfied.

Li Hun had been dragging the matter on just to get the court officials to donate generously, so that he could mobilize the army to go to the imperial court without spending a single ounce of silver.

But no one is a fool.

"Your Majesty, I know this."

Li Erzhan then took advantage of the situation and bowed to him: "I heard that the Kingdom of Heaven once issued bonds in the capital and Gyeonggi area, using the Huangzhuang field under the emperor's name as an anchor to provide benefits to the people. I thought that our court could follow suit and use the power of the royal family. We will issue bonds to the private sector in the name of one, three, and five years, with corresponding interest payments and royal land as anchors. I believe that a large number of people will be willing to purchase bonds to help our country solve its food and salary problems. Not enough!”

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Under Li Hui's surprised gaze, all the ministers standing in the palace bowed and bowed. Li Hui never expected that this would be the result of carrying him until now.

At this moment, Li Hui thought of something.

Li Erzhan was responsible for receiving the Ming envoy from Liaodong. I am afraid that what Li Erzhan said was the opinion of the Ming envoy.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty's army dispatched food and pay was solved, and the interests of North Korea's ministers were guaranteed, but the interests of the royal family were seriously damaged!

Even if this battle ended with North Korea's victory, what would Li Hui use to pay the principal and interest of the bond? If he really couldn't pay it, he would probably have to use the anchored Zhuangtian to offset it! !
