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

Chapter 218
"Is this making a fuss?!" Zhu Tuo glared at Qin Yu and said, "I, the Ming Dynasty, are the lord and have the responsibility to protect the lord. Has North Korea been attacked in any way over the years? All of this is thanks to me, the Ming Dynasty! So, they It’s appropriate to send congratulatory gifts!”

What Zhu Tuo said so confidently made Zheng Daochuan feel a little at a loss.

He came here this time just to ask for something from Daming. Why did it become like this?

"Just some ginseng, some porcelain, and some leopard skins. The maids in my house use much better ones! You said before,

North Korea is rich in products and its people are simple. You came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. How could you bring such crude things? "

Zheng Daochuan was speechless and said hesitantly: "North Korea and the Ming Dynasty have had friendly relations for generations."

"Friendship is friendship, business is business. If you want to get the benefits of Ming Dynasty, you must have corresponding compensation! Do you understand?"

Zheng Daochuan said: "My king of Korea has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child. He is good at both civil and martial arts. Once, he killed more than [-] enemy soldiers with his own strength. In addition, our Korean soldiers are brave and good at fighting, so even if Without the help of Ming Dynasty, we in North Korea can protect ourselves."

"Haha, really? I once killed six hundred enemies with my own strength!"

When Zheng Dao heard this, he was even more horrified. He stared at Zhu Tuo with incredible eyes.

Zhu Tuo said proudly: "I am King Su who drove the Mongolian army thousands of miles away. If you don't believe it, you can go to Mongolia and see with your own eyes the dozens of tribes I slaughtered."

"His Majesty?!"

Zheng Daochuan was dumbfounded and looked at Zhu Tuo in surprise. Even in North Korea, he had heard of the name Su Wang.

Because King Su's achievements in northern Xinjiang were really amazing. He led a large army with a white horse and defeated the Mongolian army.In the mouths of the Mongols, he is even regarded as a god, invincible.

Even if the rumors are a bit exaggerated, this King Su is also very powerful.

"Yes, the Emperor of North Korea you mentioned is also good at using troops. I am very interested in this and I am very much looking forward to competing with him. In this case, let's wait until a few days later when my king goes to Yan to recruit troops from Yan. People, let’s start a war against North Korea!”

Zhu Tuo said this in an understatement, but Zheng Dao Chuan only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

If someone else said this, he might be suspicious of it, but if King Su said this, it might be false.

Zheng Daozhuan quickly begged: "North Korea has more people but less strength and a smaller population. If the Ming Dynasty defeats it, it will not benefit the Ming Dynasty at all..."

"Didn't you just say that North Korea can mobilize 40 troops? I won't let you suffer. I will also give you 40 troops. How about that?"

Zheng Daochuan was stunned and said repeatedly: "Absolutely not!"

"So in your opinion, how much force should I send?"

"I think it's time to send troops, no, it shouldn't be! We in North Korea have always respected the Ming Dynasty. From generation to generation, we are willing to worship the Ming Dynasty and become sects with the Ming Dynasty forever!"

"Da Ming is your real master!"

"This is the gift you gave to the leader? How can any leader bear such a great gift?" Zhu Tuo shouted: "If you don't want to salute, I will teach you a lesson on how to salute."

Zheng Daocheng suddenly panicked and quickly explained: "It's not that we don't want to offer tribute, but that we traveled a long distance and worked hard all the way, and we can't bring much with us. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"Oh. I see!"

Zhu Tuo immediately regained his smile, "If you all have this intention, I will naturally be happy, but if you dare not come up with something, I will be angry!"

Zheng Dao said: "I wonder what your Majesty has ordered?" "I have long heard that Korean women are extremely beautiful. I have seen women from Annan, and I have also seen women from Mongolia, but I have never seen women from Joseon." I’ve seen it before, how about this, our next tribute will not only send a lot of precious porcelain and furs, but also a lot of women!”

Zheng Daochuan nodded quickly and said: "I will send ten more beauties to Your Majesty in the future."

"How can it be done with ten people? I want 20!"

After Zhu Tuo left, Wang Pu showed a worried look on his face and sighed: "Your Majesty, I am a prince in the Ming Dynasty. It is really inappropriate to treat the princes like this.

The righteousness is awe-inspiring.If people find out about this, it will be detrimental to my Ming Dynasty’s reputation. "

Zhu Tuo shook his head: "Mr. Wang, you are too old-fashioned. I don't know what to do. How can there be morality between countries? Everything is for profit. We can get more good things from North Korea. Goods, the people of Ming Dynasty can also get more benefits, why not?"

Wang Pu then said: "Your Majesty, how can we pay it back?"

"Farewell, to whom?" Zhu Tuo said in surprise.

"Is this a trip in vain? Otherwise, wouldn't I, Daming, become a waste?"

"Mr. Wang, think about it, people have traveled a long way back to North Korea. The journey is long and it is not easy to carry supplies, right? Let's pay ten taels of silver each and let them go back by themselves."

Wang Yan.

"Hey, if those scholars know about this matter, they will definitely write a memorial in the court, saying that our master of the Siyi Pavilion is ignorant of the general situation and has tarnished the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. My lord, you may be punished."

"Speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with that bastard Tao Ning yet." Zhu Tuo muttered to himself.

"Tao Ning, what did he do to offend His Majesty?"

Zhu Tuo frowned and said, "I just occupied more than 1000 acres of his land, and he dared to write a letter on it to accuse me!"

"My lord, you have invaded other people's land, and others will accuse you. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"This can't be done. What I've lost is only [-] acres of land, but what I've lost is my face. I have to teach that bastard Tao Ning a lesson, otherwise my anger will be hard to quell."

"Your Majesty, that man comes from a scholarly family and has a noble status. Even if you are the prince, you cannot embarrass him for no reason. Otherwise, His Majesty will blame you."

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

Zhu Tuo found Zhang Zhi immediately and reported to him what North Korea had sent.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhi sighed and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, we are members of the Rites Department, and we are the spokespersons of Daming in every word and deed. If you convince people with virtue, people will think that I am a country that pays attention to etiquette. If you are right If you are not polite, they will regard our Ming Dynasty as our enemy."

"Haha, anyone who opposes my Ming Dynasty, I will personally take action and kill them all!
"This, how is this possible? There are so many countries in this world, how can a war conquer them all? A strong country like Mongolia only rose to pieces for more than 100 years and was beaten to pieces. We can't do this again. Go down!" Zhang Zhi said anxiously.

Zhu Tuo did not dare to be arrogant in front of the master of ceremonies, so he could only say: "Mr. Zhang, I understand."

"You just understand."

Zhu Tuo pondered for a moment and said: "But today I am here, but I have some things to discuss with Mr. Zhang. Now my Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the majesty of my Ming Dynasty has spread to the world. I believe that Siyi Dojo There will be an intensification of wanting a piece of the pie."
