Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 216 You have to have confidence in me

"Work more if you have the ability. You will accompany King Su's son during the day and the North Korean envoy at night. There will be no shortage of both. This matter is settled. As the owner of the Siyi Pavilion, you must naturally do your duty and do your duty. .”

"Is this playing football?"

Hearing this, Zhu Tuo snorted coldly and shouted: "My king came to the Ministry of Rites to do things for you, and did not embarrass you. Looking at you all looking downcast, you really look like you are mourning your heir."

"Your Majesty, please be careful when speaking. We are from the Ministry of Etiquette, so we still need to be careful about what we say."

"Be careful with your sister, I can say whatever I like."

Zhang Zhi sighed deeply, where did this guy come from?
After Zhang Zhi left, Zhu Tuo couldn't help frowning and looking at this Siyi land, and said: "Logically speaking, this Siyi land is in charge of external affairs and can be said to be the gate of the Ming Dynasty, but why does it look a little... Shabby.”

The person in charge, Wang Pu, said: "Return to His Royal Highness King Su. In fact, large envoys like this are usually greeted by the imperial court.

But here we only have a few minions. "

"What are the responsibilities of the Siyi Dojo?"

"What we have to do is translate the languages ​​of other countries, as well as our Ming language, into other countries."

While talking, Wang Pu led Zhu Tuo into a room, where there were more than ten scholars writing furiously.

I saw that Zhu Tuo had an extraordinary bearing and gorgeous clothes, and Wang Pu, the person in charge, was standing beside him.

They all stood up subconsciously, because they all realized that the man in front of them was definitely a great god.

Zhu Tuo stood up with his head held high and said to everyone in the room: "I am King Su of Siyi Tower, and I am entrusted by Siyi Tower."

Everyone was stunned, holy shit, King Su is going to take over our Seyi?
No way?
Everyone was silent, looking at Zhu Tuo with eyes full of expectation.

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said: "I don't have anything else to do. It's just that our territory, Siyi, shoulders the heavy responsibility of Ming Dynasty's external affairs, so I made this move. In the future, our territory of Ming Dynasty will continue to expand, and Siyi will continue to expand." The land will become even more important."

"Work hard. If you do well, I will reward you heavily. Not only you, but also your wives and children."

The ministers and old gods were there, pretending to listen attentively, but in fact they did not take this matter to heart.

As a scholar, drawing pie and cheering yourself up is a necessary skill, especially since he has been in the Seiguan for many years, and he is very familiar with it.

In fact, after Zhu Tuo defeated the Mongolian army, the leader of North Korea, Li Chenggui, was also frightened.

As early as the 21st year of Hongwu, North Korean general Li Chenggui rebelled and changed the rule of the Li family. Since then, North Korea has become the king of a country.

Later, he gained power in North Korea, led the North Koreans, paid tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang, and was willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation.

However, this is their character. The world is so big that no one can defeat them. Even though they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, they are secretly flirting with the Mongols.

And this Li Chenggui is also a figure, with superior force and wisdom. Before he succeeded to the throne, he led troops to defeat the Red Turban Army and defeated the Japanese pirates. It can be said that he survived a hundred battles and was known as the "Korean God of War"!
Crouching dragon and phoenix as famous as the military god of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Chenggui secretly did many things, such as secretly occupying several places in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. Because the northeast of the Ming Dynasty had a cold climate and sparsely populated areas, even if the Ming Dynasty found out, they would not intervene.

However, when news of the Ming Dynasty's defeat of the Mongols reached North Korea, a group of people focused on it.

Li Chenggui was also a smart man, and soon sent an envoy to congratulate Daming.

This time, they had been in the capital for so long, and naturally they saw the prosperity of the city, with an endless stream of vendors selling on the streets, bustling crowds, tall and majestic city walls, and the nostalgic scenery of Qinhuai.

Daming's comprehensive strength was already very terrifying in their eyes.Compared with him, the weak Chao was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

But they also have their own advantages, such as being located in the Northeast, with cold climate and inconvenient transportation.

The Sui Dynasty once fought a battle with Goguryeo, and the result was a complete defeat.

The Tang army was not much better. In this battle, the Tang army suffered very heavy losses.

Whenever an envoy comes from afar, Wang Pu will personally receive it to show the magnanimity of a great country. Every detail of his work is done just right, so that envoys from other countries cannot find any flaws.

There is one thing that the Ming people hate the most, and that is people from other countries. Once they arrive in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people will provide them with the best service with the most enthusiastic and formal etiquette, so that they will always look like Looking happy.

And when they left, they gave Chu Feng a lot of benefits.

Take Zheng He, for example. He went to sea seven times, showing his talents and strategies, and spreading the majesty of the Ming Dynasty to all parts of the world, but he also paid a huge price.

It was not until Zhu Di died and Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne as emperor that the sea voyage was terminated.

To put it mildly, this is called having the magnanimity of a big country.

To put it bluntly, he was tricked.

At this time, the North Korean envoy Zheng Dao Chuan was leaning on a chair and said calmly: "Master Wang, although we Koreans are poor, we are united as one, and loyalty to the king comes first in the king's affairs.

Most of them are tough people. Wang Pu nodded and replied respectfully: "People from North Korea, I have heard, the climate there is very cold and they like to fight."

"Yes, especially Your Majesty. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and then led troops to fight and defeated the extremely vicious Bei Yuan..."

Zheng Dao talked about Li Chenggui's deeds, and he was a eloquent man. He talked about Li Chenggui in such a gargantuan way that he even said that he single-handedly killed three hundred bandit leaders.

When Wang Pu saw this, he nodded repeatedly, indicating that he deeply believed in Zheng Daochuan's words.

Zheng Daochuan's tone changed and he said with a smile: "But the Ming Dynasty is the land of our ancestors. We came here originally hoping to have a better relationship with the Ming Dynasty. So, we brought a few things here this time. You see , this is ginseng, this is lacquerware, and this is leopard skin."

Zheng Daozhuan's words sounded a bit harsh and had a hint of showing off, so Wang Pu had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

But at this time, Zheng Daochuan said: "Mr. Wang, what will the Ming Dynasty reward us this time? Silk and satin? Herbs? Porcelain shards? Or tea?"

"After reporting, it will naturally follow the rules."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. As we all know, the Ming Dynasty is a country that dominates the world. It takes special care of a weak country like ours. When I come back, I will definitely report to Your Majesty. I will definitely remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty."

"now it's right."

At this time, Zhu Tuo was still arranging homework for the officials in the Siyi Pavilion.

"I am going to gather all the officials in the Seiyi Pavilion and prepare a set of "Nine Continent Maps" to record the characters and customs of all the countries in the world so that we can communicate with each other when we invade in the future. when."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were startled.

How could King Su be so ambitious?

To compile the "Kiuzhou Map", we not only have to put in a lot of effort, but also have to contact many countries, and we have to send people to other countries to inquire about the customs and customs of foreign lands.

What can the mere barbarians do?
