The matter was done, and all that was left was for these North Korean officials to welcome their new king, draw up a treaty, stamp it with the national and royal seals, and submit it back to the Ming Dynasty.

The deposed Li Long had to be escorted back to Ming Dynasty for disposal.

Seeing these North Korean officials leaving to greet the King of Jincheng, Zhang Mao, who was hesitant to speak, finally found an opportunity and lowered his voice and said: "Xia Rongzheng, without asking His Majesty, is now going to establish a military base in North Korea."

Governor, is it inappropriate to send troops to garrison?"

"What's wrong? Aren't they the ministers of North Korea who were worried about the emergence of unscrupulous kings like Li Long again, so they asked the Ming Dynasty to send a governor to supervise them, and they cried and begged me, the Ming Dynasty, to station troops in North Korea to protect them?"

Zhang Mao's eyes couldn't help but widen a little, "You..."

At this point, he stopped suddenly and turned to look at Zhu Houzhao. Then he found that Zhu Houzhao had no reaction, so he simply swallowed what he was about to say.

This man surnamed Xia confuses right and wrong. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything about it, so what does he have to say?

"But if the Ming Dynasty wants to send troops to garrison North Korea, the military salary will be a huge waste of money."

After all, he was a veteran of three dynasties. Zhang Mao could fully understand the benefits of establishing a governor and garrisoning troops in North Korea. However, as a veteran of three dynasties and having lived for more than sixty years, he was also aware of the poverty of the Ming Dynasty.

The national treasury is really poor. His salary last year has not been paid off yet.

"North Korea, in gratitude for the Ming Dynasty's kindness in sending troops to protect us, proposed that military expenditures will be fully borne by North Korea. North Korea will take the initiative to write this clearly in the treaty.

Moreover, North Korea will also take the initiative to donate an extra fee to the Ming Dynasty every year. As the Ming Dynasty dispatches governors and sends troops, let’s protect them. It’s not too much to charge a little protection fee, right?”

"."

Xia Yuan always took the initiative when he opened his mouth and shut up. Zhang Mao felt that every initiative was worthy of study. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his age was really like a dog. He still wasn't accurate enough in judging people. He didn't realize this guy's kindness earlier.

black.

He stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes, this is what it should be. What you said makes sense."

Xia Yuan smiled, "Zhang Shuai also thinks what the official said is reasonable?"

"That's very reasonable. It's good for young people to be thick-skinned. If my unscrupulous man is half as good as you, then I'll be relieved."

"."

Xia Yuan couldn't laugh anymore. What the old man said was meaningless. He felt that he was not too thick-skinned. After all, there is a prerequisite for being thick-skinned. You must first have a face.

His face was far away in his previous life. A social creature who enjoys blessings does not need such a thing as face.

The vigor and dignity of a good man have long been lost in the beatings of society day after day, year after year, leaving only a body with no hope.

There is a saying that putting aside one's dignity to make a living is the greatest dignity for an adult.

But given his current class, he still needs face, so this has nothing to do with being thick-skinned.

Just because the end of Smecta Kingdom is garrisoned.

Zhu Houzhao looked thoughtful, and then he asked:

"What is the purpose of setting up a governor and stationing troops in North Korea?"

Xia Yuan turned to look at him, "Your Highness, can't you understand?"

"It's not that I don't understand, I just think we may have different ideas. Tell me, what are you trying to do?"

"It doesn't matter what I'm trying to do. You first tell me what you think I'm trying to do. Let's do this. You write an argumentative essay of more than 5,000 words and discuss how the establishment of a governor-general in North Korea by the Ming Dynasty and the garrison of troops will have a negative impact on the situation between the two countries.

Remember to hand it over when the time comes for potential or even deep-level impacts."

"."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned. He didn't expect to ask casually that this guy would give him homework. This wave of operations really made him uncomfortable.

It's really unlucky to ride a horse. I should have known better and wouldn't have asked.

At the port of Baijiangkou, hundreds of Ming warships are parked quietly on the beach, and hundreds of small ships are also ready. These ships, which are several sizes smaller than the Ming ships, are naturally dispatched by North Korea.

.

In addition to these ships, the newly succeeded king of North Korea, Li Yi, also mobilized 20,000 domestic troops to accompany the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Japanese.

At this time, all the troops had been assembled and began to board the ship in an orderly manner. The canvas on the mast rustled with the sea breeze. The main ship left the port first and sailed towards the blue sea. Ships surrounded the left and right wings.

, follow the group to leave Hong Kong.

All matters in North Korea have been completed, and five thousand troops have been deliberately left to station in North Korea, waiting for North Korea and China to respond to the dispatch of the governor and the stationing of troops in North Korea.

The memorial has been submitted, and the corresponding treaties are exactly as Xia Yuan imagined. The Koreans took the initiative to request this and that.

It doesn't matter whether it really takes the initiative or not. North Korea has no other way to go except agreeing.

What's more, the old king of North Korea was deposed, and the new king of North Korea was just a little baby, with hair that hadn't even grown yet.

They had absolutely no say in this matter. The memorial was written by North Korean officials, and they were the ones who affixed the royal seal and the national seal. They were indeed proactive and even impatient.

The reason was simply that Xia Yuan had privately contacted these North Korean ministers and told them that after the governor came, in order to prevent the recurrence of the Confucian extermination incident, he would not only supervise the king, but also the relatives and nobles.

These North Korean civil servants immediately understood what he meant. This was a gesture of goodwill and a promise that made their hearts beat and could not refuse.

In the past, they were submissive and could only succumb to the king's power. Faced with the king's butcher knife, they could only kill and behead at will.

But with the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, everything will be different. The Ming Dynasty will evacuate the royal power of North Korea, the relatives of North Korea, and the nobles of North Korea. From then on, it will be the Ming Dynasty and they, the civil servants and nobles of North Korea, who will rule North Korea together.

With interests entangled, these North Korean ministers agreed very happily and wrote the memorial straightforwardly, writing whatever was needed.

It has to be said that the bureaucracy is as dark as crows in the world. They are all a species with no moral integrity and no lower limit. As long as the profit chips are enough, they can do anything.

But what does this have to do with someone like him?

He just threw out a piece of bait, a piece of bait that said that he would rule Korea with them, and then these North Korean civil servants, or the scholar-bureaucrat group, couldn't wait to bite the bait.

So he just satisfied what these people wanted, to rule the world together with the king, which was the lifelong pursuit of the scholar-officials as a group.

As for whether this king belongs to his own country or a superior country, it doesn't matter.

It's great. North Korea will be peaceful in the future and become a child crawling at the feet of the Ming Dynasty. After decades of development, this child will completely transform into the shape of the Ming Dynasty.

Standing on the deck, Xia Yuan looked back in the direction of North Korea and felt that the sky in North Korea seemed to have become much brighter.
