Chapter 256 Chapter 276-277: The Loyal Dog Goryeo Arranges for Disaster Relief
Chapter 256 Chapter 276-277: The loyal dog Goryeo arranges for disaster relief and kills officials
(Goryeo was named CX by Zhu Yuanzhang, but its name was too sensitive, so it was still named Goryeo.)
The sun had already set, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who had only eaten Chen Ye's lunch, stood up from their chairs and felt numbness in their legs and pain in their backs.
Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and used the system he was not yet proficient in to send a message to Chen Ye.
"Liu Bei: Sir, what time will it be tomorrow to activate this space-time tunnel?"
"Chen Ye: It's not too early. It's time to dress more formally. I'll introduce Zhu Youjian to you. Let's have a good exchange."
By the way, he also said that he would bring his officials who are similar to the prime minister. It just so happens that Kong Ming is coming too, so we can all join the table."
"Liu Bei: I understand. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, please let me know in advance, so as not to violate the etiquette because you don't understand the local customs."
When Liu Bei saw that Chen Ye replied casually, he no longer had any worries. He was really afraid that there were all kinds of rules and regulations over there, so he had to be careful about everything he said.
"Prime Minister, I have already contacted that gentleman. We will go to that world at early tomorrow morning.
At that time, he will introduce the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty to us, as well as people with official positions similar to the prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, and let us dress more formally."
"Promise, Liang will prepare carefully, and I will definitely not lose my manly etiquette."
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang replied seriously, feeling a little bit more fighting spirit.
Originally, when Liu Bei and Zhu Youjian met, he could only serve as a foil at his level. Now that someone else wanted to lead ministers of the same level, he would have to compete hard.
He handed the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms to Liu Bei with both hands. Obviously, this kind of book could not be passed on at will, and only if it was handed over to Liu Bei's hands would it be impossible for others to obtain it.
Liu Bei took the book, and with a thought, he entered the Three Kingdoms window directly, and then found that the three sets of tables and chairs were still there. After thinking about it, he understood.
"If it doesn't belong to me, don't I have the right to tamper with it?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. It's almost dark. The Prime Minister might as well stay in the palace today and I can talk with him all night long."
After Liu Bei communicated with Chen Ye, he obtained the ownership rights of the tables and chairs and then stored them in the system space.
"Your Majesty, there are differences between monarch and minister. Liang should leave the palace to rest. Besides, the Prime Minister's residence is not far away, so Liang can go back in time."
"You don't have to be so concerned. Besides, I don't know what world I want to go to. What happened today shocked me so much that I haven't fully woken up yet.
Prime Minister, you haven’t talked to me at night for many years, so let us regain the feeling we had back then tonight so that I can let go of my hanging heart.”
"In this case, Liang can only be rude."
Zhuge Liang thought about it and agreed. Not only was Liu Bei not sober, he was still dazed and had not come back to his senses.
After Chen Ye appeared, which of the news he brought was simple? Who knows that he will still be sober after his death?
Then Liu Bei called the internal officials and asked them to order people to deliver the message and clean up the palace.
The message was sent to several Chengdu County officials, as well as the generals who stayed in Chengdu, and the security brigade captain Zhao Yun.
Tell them that they have something to plan the next day and not to disturb them.
After all, going to reality is a process of completely leaving Shudu, so of course they need to make good arrangements.
That night, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang lived in the same room again. The two chatted for a long time about what they would do in the future based on the description of the Three Kingdoms.
Until the candles went out, in order to have energy tomorrow and not doze off, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang forcibly ended the conversation and fell asleep amidst each other's snores.
On the other side, Ming transcends time and space
After Chongzhen returned to the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, he took a pickup truck to Shengjing to promote his imperial power.
Since the airdrop of speakers, Obai and others from Shengjing formed an alliance and controlled Dorgon's cronies.
Then the Leading Alliance led the remaining Eight Banners disciples, as well as the leaders of various Mongolian tribes, and submitted a formal letter of surrender to Chongzhen's camp in Haizhou.
When the Red Dragon Regiment visited the Temasek Arms Exhibition in Chongzhen, they had already stationed themselves in Shengjing, divided their forces and began to collect the remnants of the Jiannu tribe and put them in order.
Therefore, as soon as Chongzhen arrived in Shengjing, he saw the Shenyang Guards of the Ming Dynasty who had restored order.
The temporary Prince of Shu, Hauge, led the senior officials of the Eight Banners of Shengjing, and Dorgon, who had been stripped of his imperial robe and reduced to a commoner.
As well as the common people who were in Shengjing, they still greeted each other with kneels and worship as usual along the road, which made Chongzhen frown.
The whole ceremony was not over until evening, and Chongzhen returned to the palace to sort out the recent business plans.
Originally, according to the plan, they were going to use Hauge to persuade the Manchu and Qing counties to surrender, but with a loudspeaker and a centrifuge, they successfully made the Manchu and Qing Dynasties turn to the Ming Dynasty.
This also fully proves that there is really no concept of land and country in the concept of nomadic people.
It's just that the Qing Dynasty surrendered so quickly that Zhang Sizhi's work stopped and instantly became the work of Obai and others, and he actually became free.
So Chongzhen will be thinking about how to issue new challenges to this toady who has followed him all the way.
Should he send this thing to Goryeo and let him take back the Lee Dynasty? Or should he bring him back to modern times?
"Your Majesty, I also found Prince Zhaoxian of Goryeo Kingdom and Lord Fenglin in Shengjing City.
They were coerced by Goryeo as hostages and have been besieged in Shengjing for five years. Now they hear that His Majesty has arrived in person and beg to redress their grievances to His Majesty."
"Oh? To redress the grievances, hehe, I haven't even settled the accounts with them, the Li Dynasty, but they came here on their own initiative."
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Zhaoxian and the others are, after all, the hostages who were forcibly brought back by Bingzi after his misbehavior. They have no influence on the decisions made by the Goryeo Kingdom.
Therefore, the one who owes you should be King Li Zong of Goryeo. He helped Zhou to plunder, participated in the attack and defense of Jinzhou, and provided food for the slaves, which made everyone in Goryeo panic."
Zhang Sizhi said softly, and the meaning in his words made Chongzhen laugh out loud.
"Oh, you, Zhang Aiqing, why didn't I realize before that you are so capable?"
"I am loyal and dedicated to serving Your Majesty."
Zhang Sizhi said righteously, with a dignified demeanor and an awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he had forgotten that a few months ago, he was still a rotten person who was corrupt and corrupt.
"Bring them here, let me talk to them, and it's time to settle the score.
I didn’t blame the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty for cutting off their tribute. It’s a good thing that they also provided food, grass and weapons for the “Jiannu.”
"I'll go right away."
After Zhang Sizhi received the order, he quickly left and headed to a passage outside the mansion.
In the corridor, several Royal Army soldiers were guarding Li Wang and Li Hao vigilantly. The two men were also waiting anxiously.
"Master Zhang, I'm very polite. Your Majesty is willing to see us?"
"Well, come with me."
Hearing Zhang Sizhi's words, the two of them nodded excitedly and walked to Chongzhen's palace.
When we arrived here, the defense was even tighter. Jin Yiwei, Royal Army, and Dongchang Fanzi were all wearing neat clothes and were alert at various points in high spirits.
Everyone looked at them with eyes like copper bells.
Li Wang and Li Hao were so overwhelmed that they could hardly breathe. After comparing their hearts with the Goryeo Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they came to the conclusion that they deserved to be the Kingdom of Heaven.
When they walked to the main hall, in the windowless but extremely bright room, the two finally saw Chongzhen sitting in the main seat.
Wearing a royal robe, a red dragon pattern spreads its teeth and claws on the chest.
Li Wang and Li Hao looked at this outfit and thought about their experiences in recent years. Tears filled their eyes and fell to the ground.
As if seeing their long-lost father, they kowtowed to Chongzhen at the door and knelt down, crying sadly.
"Your Majesty! You are finally here, Your Majesty! I have such a hard time waiting for Master Wang!"
"Your Majesty! The barbarians bullied our small and weak Kingdom of Koryo, humiliated our royal family, and forced our Kingdom of Koryo to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Please make the decision for us, Your Majesty."
Seeing the two people crying, Chongzhen was stunned. The behavior of these two people and their attitude towards Daming were not like what Chongzhen often told him.
"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, these two things, why are you crying so heartbroken?
The small country of Goryeo has already come together with Jiannu, so why do they still feel so wronged?"
"Chen Ye: First of all, it was the Goryeo royal family who surrendered, not the Goryeo officials. Secondly, whoever is stronger is the father of them.
Even though they surrendered to Jiannu, Goryeo's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was really that of filial piety but strength.
As the country that has the most complete reception of Chinese culture, they are really proud of being a small China.
In their minds, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were all barbarians, and they were educated people who learned from the Confucian culture of the Central Plains.
Their brain circuits are completely different from those of the Japanese people, and they appear normal in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty.
So in the original history, even if they were defeated by the Manchu Qing, they were arrogant and refused to sever ties with the Ming Dynasty for the first time, as arrogant as if they had won a battle, because they looked down on the Manchu Qing.
This attitude angered Huang Taiji, and only a few years ago he directly penetrated Goryeo and captured the Goryeo king's family, forcing Li Zong to surrender.
The reason why it is said that Goryeo's filial piety was strong is because Goryeo's officialdom was really suzerainty towards the Ming Dynasty.
The "name given" by your family's Taizu was considered by the Goryeo Dynasty as a "favor of great creation".
Emperor Wanli's expedition was considered by Goryeo as a "favor of reconstruction", and for this reason, they also built the "Da Bao Altar" to commemorate the two Ming Dynasty emperors.
In the minds of Goryeo's monarchs and ministers, Emperor Wanli's dispatch of troops to aid the dynasty took on the tragic color of "sacrifice oneself to save others."
"The rapid demise of the dynasty may not have been due to the Eastern Expedition." After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, King Sukjong of Goryeo even believed that if the country had not lost its power by sending troops to Goryeo, even if the Ming Dynasty fell, it could at least stay in peace in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years like the Southern Song Dynasty.
So in the Qing Dynasty, some people in the Goryeo official circles even used Chongzhen's reign name privately for more than two hundred years. Is this not filial enough?
But that’s not necessarily the case. It’s possible that those people were the seeds left by the soldiers during the Wanli expedition.”
Chen Ye's words surprised even Chongzhen. Thinking about Chongzhen's two hundred years, he couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this as absurd as the Yongle veteran?
"You guys, get up and talk to me carefully about what kind of injustice it is?"
"Your Majesty, we have suffered so much these years! The Manchus and Qing Dynasties are simply inhumane. They have attacked our country for no reason several times and robbed our royal family."
The two brothers, Li Wang and Li Hao, started to talk with tears and snot in their noses, how much the Manchus went too far and how humiliating they were, saying that the Manchus should die immediately.
Chongzhen smiled happily. He and Chen Ye had originally intended this. In the future, when Liaodong was divided, these Koreans would be indispensable. If they were given a stick, they would be able to drive away the remnants of the Qing Dynasty.
"But, I heard that your royal family of Goryeo not only provided soldiers, horses, food and fodder to the slaves, but also transported manpower and material resources. Why are you so dedicated?
Do you think I can't bring up the sword? Or do you think the Ming Dynasty will perish? I heard that you, the King of Korea, arbitrarily punished those who reprimanded the Manchus for peace."
"No! Your Majesty, please listen to our explanation. Your Majesty and others have also thought about sending a message to the imperial court, but the barbarians control the pass, and we have no way to submit information to the higher country, and we cannot speak out if we have any grievances.
Moreover, the king of our country is old and cannot control the ministers of the court. These are the ideas of those rebellious ministers and traitors, and my king is just forced to do so!"
"That's right, that's right! Your Majesty, all the ministers who led the war in Goryeo are dead. The people of the country hate Jiannu deeply, but there is nothing they can do!
Moreover, our country has never agreed to build slaves and recruit troops. Our country is in charge of political affairs. Although Lord Cui Mingji advocated peace, it was a helpless move for a small country to protect itself.
He also submitted letters to the country many times and tried his best to prevent the conscription of slaves. His innocent heart can be learned from heaven and earth!"
Li Wang sobbed and said that everyone in Goryeo was humiliated by surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and they despised the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
The Cui Mingji he mentioned was also a legendary figure. Every time there was trouble in Goryeo, the first thing he thought of was surrender. However, he secretly sent a message to Liaodong from the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, rejecting the Manchu Qing's request for conscription and redeeming the hostages.
Later, because Hong Chengchou surrendered and was brought to light by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, this minister who appeared to be a peacemaker but had actually been secretly liaising with the Manchu and Qing military forces of the Ming Dynasty was executed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Chongzhen was brought back memories by Li Wang's words, and he also remembered that Hong Chengchou had indeed explained to him that Gao Li had been contacting him.
If such a talent were in the Ming Dynasty...oh, they should have been killed in the Ming Dynasty.
But, you still need to be educated, so how could you not punish your son for just a few words of shirk?
"Surrendering is surrendering. Can you say that the slave builders forced you to get away with it?
Could it be that if someone forces you to use a sword on me, you can still draw it with peace of mind?
The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. Our royal family of the Ming Dynasty has established its capital in Beijing to guard the gate for the Ming Dynasty. Your royal family will only live in an ignoble existence after the country is destroyed. How are you different from the rats?
Do you deserve the honor that Taizu bestowed upon your Li family in the past? When you were invaded by the Japanese, natural disasters continued throughout the Ming Dynasty, but Ming Dynasty still insisted on assisting you. Do you deserve the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me! Your country is no better than the country above, please forgive me!"
Li Wang and Li Hao were so frightened by Chongzhen's angry shouts that they cried more sincerely. They never expected that Chongzhen not only did not pity them, but also started to blame them.
It's just that in the circle of Han culture, betraying one's master is a damnable act, and what Chongzhen said made them extremely ashamed.
Think about the behavior of the Ming Dynasty monarchs. They established their capital in Beizhili to resist the Mongols, resisted the Japanese and aided Gao. All these behaviors were unforgivable in the face of their betrayal of the emperor.
So much so that they all accepted their fate. It was only natural for the Goryeo royal family to betray the Ming Dynasty and face annihilation.
"Well, it's not easy for you, a small country, to face the disaster of slavery. I will forgive you. When order is restored in Liaodong, you can go back with your credentials.
When you go back, ask the King of Korea to bring you, the Lord of Korea and officials, and remember to go to the capital to apologize to me.
I want to give them a good lesson and make them kneel in front of the tomb of Taizu and Shenzong, and seriously repent of their shameless behavior of betraying their master."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. I will definitely bring the message to you.
My king has admired the capital of the above country for a long time. To be able to receive admonitions from your majesty is a manifestation of Taizu's glory.
After hearing His Majesty's summons, I have made such a big mistake again, so I must bear the thorns to apologize and arrive as soon as possible to appease the wrath of the higher kingdom."
Li Wang and Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was being treated lightly. They just said, how could a father do such a thing to beat his son?
As for the matter of asking Li Zong to plead guilty to Ming Taizu and Ming Shenzong, I had no objection, and even thought it was a good thing.
Isn't it a good thing to be able to offer sacrifices to the two most respected emperors of Goryeo? Most people don't have that honor. It is estimated that there will be a fight within Goryeo over this matter.
"Also, I heard that Hong Yihan, Yin Ji, and Wu Daji, three Korean bachelors, were loyal and patriotic, and had a heart for the Ming Dynasty. They would remain loyal to the Ming Dynasty until death.
Therefore, I order you to collect the remains of the three generals and bring them back to Korea for funerals so that they can return to their roots.
At the same time, three Korea University scholars were posthumously awarded the title of General of the Left, Middle and Right Guards of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. If there are young people in their families, they can enter the Royal Army Academy of the Ming Dynasty.
If there is a widow, she will be taken to Shengjing and raised by the Prince of Shu in the Ming Dynasty to repay the harm done to their family by the slave royal family.
As long as you care about Ming Dynasty and are loyal to Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will not forget them and will not treat them badly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so magnanimous, and I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."
Prince Zhaoxian and Lord Fenglin were deeply moved by this. What they didn't expect was that with Chongzhen's benevolence and righteousness at this point, the three main war ministers, Quanxia, could rest in peace.
After Chongzhen had another conversation with them, he sent them away.
Then he summoned Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou to come over and listen to his instructions with Zhang Sizhi.
"Three dears, I have already gotten acquainted with the future world with the shop owner over there. Hong Aiqing, you are responsible for the temporary unified management of the Royal Army and the Liaodong New Army.
Zhang Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, please prepare and explain what you are going to do. Tomorrow you will go to the future with me, and I will take you to get familiar with it.
Hong Aiqing, the Royal Army cannot do without people, I can only take you next time."
"ah?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have received the decree."
Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi were originally confused when Chongzhen called them over. Now they heard Chongzhen's words and looked even more confused.
Zhang Sizhi's face was filled with ecstasy, almost trembling, and he thanked Chongzhen.
Hong Chengchou was slightly sour. He was not the first batch, but thinking about it, if he could be guarded by him, he was regarded as a confidant. There had to be someone to do the work, right?
"This is the first thing. There is another thing. I am planning to set up several guard posts in Goryeo to remove the military power of the Goryeo royal family. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has no precedent of annexing vassal countries, and Taizu once made Goryeo a country without conquest. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this."
Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, he thought Chongzhen wanted to destroy Goryeo directly.
"I don't want to annex them, I just want to prevent them from being invaded by outsiders. I want to set up a guard station here to protect them."
"..."
Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi picked their toes, and Hong Chengchou's face twitched.
What Chongzhen said was so righteous and shameless that the three of them didn't know what to say.
"If this is the case, I support Your Majesty."
"Yes, yes, the Goryeo Elementary School made mistakes just because its troops were weak. Now that His Majesty has sent troops to protect them, they should be happy."
"Well, that's right. I plan to wait until I come back from reality before implementing this plan. The number of people in the Royal Army is still too small now.
Hong Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, you have a long way to go."
Chongzhen sighed and was about to let a few people leave. Jiang Dejing, who was on duty to receive telegrams from the capital, came over with a note and asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, there were several memorials yesterday. They are the backlog of memorials from Huguang, Henan, Hebei and Shandong.
Starting from April, locust plagues have broken out in various places. If there is an epidemic, please His Majesty allocate money for disaster relief."
"Has it finally started? Yes, it's almost June, and there's no food harvest in various places, so it's really started."
After Chongzhen muttered to himself, he looked at Jiang Dejing.
“Return the call immediately, each province will count the number of people affected by the disaster, and we are waiting to provide relief to the victims.
All Changping warehouses and official warehouses must ensure that sufficient grain can be allocated when needed.
According to the degree of disaster in each province, if there is a shortage of grain and money, you can apply for relief from me, and the chief officials and governors of each province will jointly supervise the distribution."
"I'll send it out right now."
"What companion."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Immediately send power to Jinyiwei Commander Li Ruolian and the Royal Army's Third Regiment Headquarters.
Jinyiwei, a member of the Dongchang Supervision Bureau, secretly investigated the severity of the disaster, whether relief grain and silver had been distributed, and the degree of corruption among dispersed personnel.
In addition to the training of the Royal Army in each province, they began to plan to cultivate epidemic prevention knowledge, check accounts and numbers, in preparation for disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and to kill corrupt officials.
Officials of the Ming Dynasty, it’s time to take action.”
After Chongzhen issued this second order alone, Sun Chuanting and others all trembled slightly. It was obvious that Chongzhen, who was not short of money or people, was going to use this disaster relief as an excuse to start taking action.
"Oh, I forgot to ask, dear ladies, have you given any instructions to your family? I have told you before."
"Your Majesty is kind, and I have already warned my family."
The replies in unison contained the fact that Chongzhen was now in power and full of domineering power.
"That's all right. I'll also tell my other dear friends that I don't want any more trouble to occur during this disaster relief operation. If someone is greedy and forces the people to rebel, I won't show mercy."
After sorting out everything, Chongzhen ordered several people to go back and explain, and then began to lie down on bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, Chongzhen stood in the main hall of the palace wearing a dragon robe and being served by his internal officials.
"Are the two beloved ladies here?"
"Back to your lord, Grand Scholar Zhang and Grand Scholar Sun have been waiting outside the door for half an hour."
"Let them come in."
Chongzhen nodded and looked at his watch. It was exactly seven o'clock now, which was still an hour away, but he didn't plan to wait any longer.
"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper! I'm coming."
