Chapter 214 Good things come in pairs
"... A small minister cannot make the decision on such an important matter." After hearing and seeing clearly, Huang couldn't believe his eyes for a long time.Although the Ming Dynasty's army was not as good as the previous generation, it was still very strong compared to the North Korean army, mainly in terms of equipment.

If it is true, as the Ming Emperor said, he is willing to build an iron smelting plant in North Korea and teach skills.Don't forget to produce thousands of jins of fine steel every day, if you can guarantee [-] jins, it's enough.North Korea has neither war horses nor soldiers. With these advanced weapons, it is really not too afraid of Japan and Jurchens.

When the time comes, whoever harasses whomever will have to argue with each other will have to spit it out for me, and give me back what I took from me, double the amount!However, this matter must be reported to the king first, and then the ministers will discuss and decide.

"That's what I mean...get up and talk." The business was almost done, and Hong Tao stopped pretending to bluff people. However, after sitting down, he could only see half of the other person's head, and he waved his hand to indicate that there was no need. Kneel again.

"Your Majesty is so powerful that I don't dare to look directly at him, so he is willing to kneel down to answer!" But Huang is not grateful at all. He called in today, and every time he kneels down, the emperor's temper becomes better. As long as he sits on the small round stool, he will immediately trouble him. Come on, there seems to be a curse on the stool!

"Fucking bastard!" Since he insisted on kneeling and said it so reasonably, Hong Tao couldn't force him, and he didn't know the reason. He could only curse in his heart, and then continue talking about business.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to the steel mill to try the power of the steel crossbow and steel armor with your own hands. Don't forget to take a few pictures with you when you leave. Take them back to your king and ministers to see, so as not to worry about them. Play the drums.

But I want to remind you that this matter is a secret between the two countries. If it spreads to the ears of Japan and the Jurchens, it will be very dangerous. The Ming Dynasty will not send a single soldier to one year old, so you can take care of yourself! "

"In compliance with the holy order, I will return the day after tomorrow and see the king as soon as possible to convey His Majesty's will!" Once he heard that he could see the real thing tomorrow, Huang Shi's few doubts disappeared immediately.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the round stool was a little cute again. If it hadn't been tortured in every possible way, how could he have achieved such a big contribution?As long as the king and ministers are not stupid, they will definitely agree to the Ming Emperor's suggestion.From now on, North Korea will become the second most powerful existence after Ming Dynasty. It is exciting to think about it.

"It's not too late for good food. You don't need to panic. I will send a ship to see you back in a few days." Huang was in a hurry to leave, but Hong Tao was not in a hurry. He also planned to let the North Korean official see Yuan Keli's battle again. What is the condition of the boat?

This is not called revealing secrets, but showing strength.As long as Huang is not stupid, and the North Korean king and ministers are not stupid, they should understand the consequences of betraying Ming Dynasty.

Don't expect the Jurchens to block the land passage of the Ming army at all. We can send troops across the sea, land wherever we want, and attack Huanglong by surprise in no time!
"...Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that the sea route is long. If there is a big storm, the life and death of the ministers are all trivial matters. It is an unforgivable crime to delay His Majesty's will!" Huang Shi's face turned bright when he heard that he was going back by boat. He suddenly turned pale and was even more frightened than when the emperor slapped the table just now. He tried his best to find an excuse to evade.

"Don't be afraid. My ship is no better than others. It is very safe. That's it. Remember every word I say and think about it carefully when you return to Guanyi."

Hong Tao roughly knew why Huang was so afraid of taking a sea-going ship to return home. At this time, most sea-going ships were not capable of long-distance voyages, and their safety was also worrying. Accidents often occurred when crossing the Yellow Sea.

North Korean missions generally do not choose to take the sea route, and are willing to enter the capital from Liaodong as long as the conditions are not too bad.Although the road is not easy to walk, it is down to earth after all. There are military towns and guards along the way to protect it, which is much safer than the sea route.But this time, no matter how scared I was, I had to go back by boat, so there was no discussion.Warships are not just ships, but also the energy extending outwards from the Ming Empire. Only by allowing more people to see and understand it can they be in awe and avoid the fearlessness of the ignorant.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone, but sometimes good things come in pairs.As soon as the North Korean mission hurriedly boarded Yuan Keli's warship at Tianjin Guard, Wang An held a question book in both hands and delivered it to Hong Tao's table, with a mean smile on his face.

"Long live the Lord's magic, they took the bait!"

"Oh, let me see who has shown up... Oops, there are so many young and old. Is there any movement from the cabinet?" Hong Tao knew who had taken the bait, but he didn't know the size of the fish that was taken. When he opened the booklet, he saw There were so many noble titles inside that the smiles were even meaner than Wang An's.

A total of five dukes, eight marquises, and seven earls accounted for almost two-thirds of the nobles.Looking at the names again, everyone with some real power is not included in them. The remaining ones who are not written are probably not because they don't want to get involved, but because they are really lacking in ability and cannot compete with the title alone.

"Alas, these people are really unlucky. The matter has already caused a storm in the city before any clues were made. The day before yesterday, the great scholar Li Tingji had expressed his suspicions, and all the slaves were given to the Renshou Palace in accordance with the instructions of Lord Long Live."

But when he talked about the abilities of the nobles, Wang An could only sigh. No wonder he has been dominated by civil servants for hundreds of years, so you guys are arguing.If even the most basic confidentiality cannot be maintained, even if the emperor secretly helps, it may not be able to accomplish anything big.

"This is best. It saves me the trouble of explaining. The Queen Mother has her own way of dealing with it. Let the two sides test each other out for the time being. It won't be too late to come forward when you feel the need for me to speak a fair word.

Ignore them, first fill the place of the late Governor of the Three Borders, Xu Sanwei.What I mean is to let Wang Xiangqian go, add the prince Shaofu, governor of the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi, control the governors of Hexi, Hedong, Shaanxi and the nine generals of Gansu, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an and Guyuan soldiers. "

Hong Tao could remain calm as long as the target of the attack was not aimed at him. He could not express his position in a hurry at this time. With the Empress Dowager acting as a shield, and with his secret assistance, the group of civil servants could not only use their pens as swords to curse a few words. There should be no good way to prevent the nobles from building factories and making profits.

Not only could they not stop it, but they also had to come and beg me to quickly implement the plan to build the factory, so as not to fall behind the nobles.At that time, we can talk about the issue of withdrawing from Liaodong. When will the civil servants give up and when will the factory start construction? Otherwise, we will wait to see the nobles make a lot of money and gradually extend their hands to more areas.

Hong Tao believed that with the noble ethics of civil servants, they would definitely not embarrass the emperor on national affairs.The withdrawal from Liaodong must be far-sighted and the establishment of factories must be urgent.In a situation where both parties will benefit from cooperation and both will suffer from confrontation, they will make the right choice.
