Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 656 North Korea Strategy
"Those who destroy the foundation of the Lee family in Korea are usurping Lee Joon!!"

"Those who undermine the prestige and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty are usurping Li Jie!!"

In Xiyuan, in the Chongzhi Hall, Zhu Youxiao's sonorous voice rang out. The ministers of the Military Academy gathered in the hall all had complicated expressions on their faces.

Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan, and Zhang Kentang never expected that such a major event would happen in vassal Korea when the situation in Korea became increasingly clear.

It is simply unbelievable that Li Jie would usurp the throne.

Even if there are many mistakes and problems with King Li Hui of Joseon, he is still the King of Joseon recognized by the Ming Dynasty and canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

And what about Li Jie?

He is just a member of the Korean royal family, and it is true that he is the grandson of the late Korean King Li Huo, but what qualifications does he have to dare to do such things as usurpation when Korea is invaded by the Japanese invaders.

This clearly does not take Daming seriously!

"Your Majesty, if such a major event as usurpation occurs in North Korea, the situation in North Korea will change drastically." Under such circumstances, Wei Guangxu stepped forward and bowed.

"No matter what North Korea says, it is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Now that something like this is happening, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain country, cannot sit idly by."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Jin Xuan, Zhang Kentang and other military ministers stepped forward to express their attitudes.

Wei Guangxu and the others did not care about the life and death of King Li Hui of Korea, but it involved the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, especially in North Korea, where there was still a large number of troops to aid Korea, so they had to care.

They are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

The current occurrence of this kind of thing in North Korea not only provokes the national prestige and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but also puts the army sent by the Ming Dynasty into turmoil. There must be an explanation for this.

Under the subtle influence of Zhu Youxiao, the special existence of the Military Academy has a very clear attitude towards military and political emergencies. Anything that harms the interests of the Ming Dynasty must show the attitude of the Ming Dynasty.

"I will definitely not let this matter go!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp, he glanced at the ministers in the palace and said: "I am determined to mobilize a group of elites from Tianjin, Denglai and other places to support the Korean Navy with the above-mentioned navy, and send them to Korea for me. All the above-mentioned armies and departments All are under the control of Sun Chengzong. The rebels who invade Korea will be beaten, and the rebels who commit treason will be killed!"

"If the Ming Dynasty's attitude cannot be shown in this matter, how should the other vassal states of the Ming Dynasty treat the Ming Dynasty in the future? How should they treat me?"

Is the turmoil in North Korea going to overshadow Liaodong?
Upon hearing this, Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan and other ministers of the Military Affairs Council all had the same idea in their minds: even though Sun Chengzong led the army to aid Korea and fought against the Jianlu in Korea, the commotion he caused was not as big as that caused by Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong.

One is known for its stability.

One is known for his authority.

The styles of Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi are completely different. This also leads to the fact that although they both fight against Jianlu, they attract different attention.

However, as the Military Affairs Council was responsible for countering rebellion, everyone who served in the Military Affairs Council knew that Sun Chengzong led a large army to aid the DPRK, which actually brought many benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just for the war to aid Korea and resist the Japanese invaders, after the war actually started in Korea, the food and salary transferred through the Korean royal family not only met the needs of the army to aid Korea, but even part of it was allocated to Liaodong by the Military Affairs Council. Go to the battlefield.

Originally, Wei Guangxu and others believed that the Korean War would continue, but it would not last long. After all, the scale of the invaders who invaded Korea was far less than that of the Liaodong front.

But even so, if Sun Chengzong and the others fight in North Korea for a day, the Military Administration will be able to reduce a lot of pressure accordingly. After all, the benefits are visible. However, Li Zhu's rebellion completely disrupted their plans.

"Your Majesty, how much more troops should be sent to North Korea?"

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng glanced around, then stepped forward and bowed: "How many more naval forces should be transferred from Tianjin and Denglai to form this navy to support the DPRK?"

"The number of additional troops sent to North Korea is tentatively set at 20,000."

Zhu Youxiao said without hesitation: "As for the Navy, it will be decided by your Military Academy at the discretion of the Military Academy. One request cannot affect the possible maritime assistance to Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid the imperial court will have to come up with a batch of food and salary."

Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly, and after a moment of deep thought, he said: "After all, there is such a chaos in North Korea. If you want to think about what you did before and resist the prisoners' food and salary from me, I'm afraid..."

"It's Li Hui who died! Everyone who is not a member of the North Korean royal family is dead."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "I sent me, Chao Jian'er, to North Korea to fight the chaos in Korea for the Li family. Even the battle situation in Liaodong was pushed back."

"I don't have any money or food, and the court doesn't have any!"

"In the name of the Military Council, I issued an edict to Sun Chengzong, asking him to call on North Korean loyalty, to fight the chaos in North Korea, and to suppress Li Jie's usurpation, donate food and money."

"North Korea will not forget what they did, and the Ming Dynasty will not forget it. Once the rebels who invaded North Korea are resolved and Li Jie's usurpation is suppressed, North Korea will definitely recover!!"

joke.

Zhu Youxiao sent another large group of troops to North Korea, in order to control the vassal North Korea and allow the blood of North Korea to continuously supply the Ming Dynasty.

Through the Korean War, it was further promoted that the Shaofu had jurisdiction over armaments, ships and other clean-up departments, and was able to expand again in Beizhili and other places.

Zhu Youxiao would not do such a thing, asking him to send a large army and spend money, and transfer the losses caused by the war to the Ming Dynasty for the so-called dignity of the court.

Not only did Zhu Youxiao not know how to do it, he even issued a secret edict to Sun Chengzong, ordering him to fight steadily in North Korea and not fall into the treacherous tricks of Li Zhu and others.

The longer the war in Korea lasts, the more beneficial it will be to Ming Dynasty, and the more beneficial it will be to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao not only wanted to suck the blood of North Korea, but also turned North Korea into a battlefield. Through rotation to participate in the war, Ming Dynasty would have more elite divisions.

If the new soldiers who are recruited and trained do not fight and see blood on the battlefield, they will always be new soldiers. No matter how much they practice on weekdays, they will never become strong soldiers.

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking these words, Lu Xiangsheng, Wei Guangxu, and other ministers of the Military Academy, without exception, all heard the emperor's hidden meaning.

The war in Korea will probably not stop in the short term.

"Okay, that's it for this imperial court meeting." Zhu Youxiao calmed down, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and the others and said, "The Military Academy will work out a plan as soon as possible."

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone immediately bowed and worshiped.

After listening to these words, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, who were standing behind the screen, had complicated expressions on their faces. They didn't even know what to say...
