In Peiping, in the meeting hall in the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di held the imperial edict sent from Ming Dynasty with a complicated expression.
The small country of Goryeo, if we really want to fight, I can cross the river with a partial army to break through the pass and sweep thousands of miles. Zhu Di held the imperial edict in his hand with a ferocious expression. He actually asked that yellow-haired boy to governor the world's troops and carry out a war to destroy the country? He
Growing up in a deep palace, it is child's play to want to go into battle and command hundreds of thousands of troops without even killing a chicken! He was fooling around, and the old man followed suit! The old man doted on his grandson, and he really doted on his grandson to no end!
After saying that, Zhu Di stood up angrily. Besides, he thought Goryeo was a soft dough that could be kneaded casually? The war was dangerous, and it didn't matter if he fell down. But losing power and humiliating the country meant Ming Dynasty's face was lost!
There were not many people in the meeting hall. Apart from Zhu Di, there were only a few generals from the Yan army and the black-robed monk Yao Guangxiao.
What the prince said is wrong. This is not nonsense! It is not pampering! Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, Your Majesty, look at what the imperial edict said. The emperor's grandson is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and controls the Liaodong army to defend the king. His deputy is the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde.
, there are also veteran generals such as Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Jingchuan Marquis, Changxing Marquis, and Dongshan Marquis in the army.
Saying that, Yao Guangxiao smiled again. With the help of these old people, even if the coach is a dog, he will not be defeated! The old man wants to let the emperor's grandson lead the upright king's division and achieve unparalleled achievements. Old emperor, this
They are paving the way for the emperor's grandson!
After hearing this, Zhu Di's face became even more gloomy. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have never been so many founding heroes who participated in the expedition together. Any one of these people who sneaks out is qualified to be the commander-in-chief of an army.
Military achievements, the only shortcoming of the emperor's grandson is that he has no outstanding military achievements. If he can defeat Goryeo with the help of these veterans, his reputation will surely reach its peak. By then, who in the world will dare to disobey? Who among the nine frontier fortress kings will still dare to fight?
Taking credit for one's own merits and pretending to be senior.
The imperial edict said, let Yan Fan mobilize 40,000 troops and put them under his command, and I will also obey his orders! Zhu Di said angrily, I have been in the army for half my life, but I actually want to obey him?
There are more than 30,000 people in the Beijing camp, 40,000 of us, and the soldiers and horses of the 14th brother, plus the Liaodong military guards and the soldiers and horses brought by Fu Youde from Datong, hehe, there are nearly 200,000 elite soldiers. The old man wants to protect his eldest grandson's life.
He is really willing to sacrifice his merits in battle!
This is what makes Zhu Di the most angry and jealous. He joined the army as a young boy and started as a soldier. He has been running around for so many years, but the old man has never given him such great support. Back then, with the dignity of a prince and a vassal king, he
When he went on an expedition to Liaodong with Fu Youde and others, he also had to serve as his deputy and listen to the orders of the veteran generals in the army.
Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about these things! Yao Guangxiao walked behind Zhu Di and bowed slightly. This expedition against Goryeo was a must-win battle. The old prince first gave Goryeo a letter of credence, and also issued an imperial edict to the world.
It is to establish the prestige of the emperor's grandson in front of the people of the world and the surrounding vassal states.
No matter how high the cost, this battle will be won. Once won, the power of the emperor's grandson in the army will extend from the capital to the Liaodong frontier.
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, what Yao Guangxiao said was true.
Although Zhu Yunxi had the support of a group of military generals behind him in Beijing, most of those veteran generals did not have much actual authority. Lan Yu had fallen, and the Chang family could not dominate the army with one hand.
But once the emperor's grandson has a golden sign to fight on behalf of the emperor, who in the army will die if he doesn't obey? He is the crown prince, and with his fingers crossed, those generals who temporarily serve under his command will follow suit.
As if leaning up.
And once he was defeated, his prestige in the army was unparalleled. To put it bluntly, why did the old man kill so many heroes and no one dared to blow up the assassins? It was because of his prestige in the army that the old man was now
He wants to add this prestige to his grandson.
By then, Zhu Yunxi would have the support of a number of meritorious military generals in the DPRK and China, and the loyalty of local generals outside...
hiss!
Zhu Di took a breath of air in his heart. This was like putting a tight spell on the heads of these vassal kings. If they want to attack you, they can attack you without any power to fight back.
Your Majesty, I have a plan! Yao Guangxiao finished speaking and glanced at the surrounding generals of the Yan vassal.
They are all my confidants, what can't be said? Zhu Di frowned.
Yao Guangxiao's expression remained unchanged and he smiled without saying a word.
On one side, Zhang Yuqiufu and others stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, a thousand years old, please leave first!" After saying that, several people turned around silently and went out, leaving only Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.
You're pretending to be a god! Zhu Di laughed and scolded, tell me quickly!
I said that although this battle is a must-win battle, it is because the imperial court cannot afford to lose, the emperor's grandson cannot afford to lose, and your majesty cannot afford to lose! Yao Guangxiao whispered, but the battle has not started yet, and everything is not absolute!
Goryeo has some fighting strength, and the emperor Taisun has made it clear that it is a war to destroy the country. They have no reason to surrender. When hundreds of thousands of people are fighting, the battlefield situation is complicated. If Goryeo can have an elite force to directly attack the emperor's army, it may not be impossible.
Turn defeat into victory.
Zhu Di suddenly turned around, his eyes like daggers, what do you mean?
Yao Guangxiao smiled and nodded. If the emperor's grandson dies in battle, it is the best policy. If he is just defeated and loses face, it is the worst policy. However, it is a good policy or a bad policy. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not win, it does not matter whether the old emperor or the emperor is defeated.
Regardless of Sun, he has to find someone to take the blame for His Majesty the Great Sun!
Someone must be responsible for the defeat! Since it was not the emperor’s grandson who was at fault, it could only be the ministers!
If, with the blessing of the Buddha, something happens to the emperor's grandson in the army, haha! I think, with the temperament of the old emperor, none of these generals will survive.
When the time comes, all the veterans who contributed to the founding of the country will be wiped out, and your chance, King Yan, will come...
Zhu Di was shocked. This monk's plan was really vicious. It could be called a desperate plan. If he really followed his plan, the heads of warriors would be everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. Those old guys would be slaughtered by the old man.
This plan is absolutely feasible. In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, the battlefield will be extremely wide, and the battle formation will stretch for hundreds of miles. As long as someone is willing, a slight gap will be exposed on the side, so that the Korean soldiers can attack...
only.............
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard rapid footsteps outside.
Who? Zhu Di was displeased and drank coldly.
I am reporting to Chitose, Goryeo has sent an envoy over and is waiting for your summons outside!
Look! Yao Guangxiao smiled at Zhu Di and said, someone gave him a pillow as soon as he fell asleep!!
Zhu Di's expression changed, pass!
A moment later, a scholar in his forties almost crawled in.
Li Shouyin, a minister of the lower state and counselor of the Goryeo War Department, met King Yan Qiansui. After saying this, the man kowtowed heavily and fearfully.
The two countries have declared war, why do you want to see me? Zhu Di sat upright and asked.
Li Shouyin raised his head in horror and waved his hands quickly. How dare the small country Goryeo dare to go to war with the Ming Dynasty? It's all a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding! As he said that, he crawled a few steps forward and said in tears that the Jurchens were harassing Goryeo's Sinuiju border. Goryeo was forced to do so.
In desperation, he sent troops to fight back.
Chitose, you also know that the Jurchens are the most stubborn, untamable, brutal and brutal. In order to maintain long-term peace and stability in Goryeo, the country has no choice but to send more troops to drive them farther away!
I heard that all your soldiers have arrived at the Yalu River! Zhu Di sneered and said, if you go further, do you have to come from Peking?
Li Shouyin kowtowed again and again and said with a cry, "How dare you go to Goryeo for a thousand years!" The troops in Goryeo were sent to the Yalu River by Wu Chi, a general of the Meng Yuan Dynasty in Goryeo.
To sow discord between Ming Dynasty and Korea.
My lord heard that the superior country was furious and had already put the villain in prison and wanted to send him to the Ming Dynasty to ask the superior country to punish him!
Chitose didn't know anything. When the Ming Dynasty's national certificate was passed to Goryeo, my Lord cried bitterly, was in pain, and felt full of regret. He said that Goryeo was also a descendant of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was furious, and the only way for the Goryeo officials to die could they be exempted from their sins!
The Ming Dynasty treated Goryeo with deep affection. Every time Goryeo behaved disrespectfully, the Celestial Empire was tolerant and patient like a parent. The whole country has realized its mistake, and the leader of the country has ordered the withdrawal of troops and the return of the captured Jurchens in Liaodong. Select all the treasures in the country and offer them to them.
To the Celestial Empire, I beg for forgiveness! The two countries will always be united as one, and Goryeo will be a barrier to the Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come. We dare not make any more mistakes!
Crying, Li Shouyin hugged Zhu Di's thigh and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty Qiansui, as the old saying goes, nothing can be improved if you know your mistakes. Goryeo already knows its mistakes, and for the sake of the lives of the world, the country must not send troops. I, the little citizen of Goryeo,
He is also a human being!
There was no emotion on Zhu Di's face, and he said calmly, it's too late, the court has already sent troops, and there is no turning back! Besides, what's the use of talking to me about this?
You are King Sai of the Ming Dynasty, and your reputation is well-known throughout the world. You are in charge of the Liaodong capital of the Celestial Dynasty, and you have a hundred thousand soldiers. You are the most noble vassal king in the Celestial Dynasty. I see you in the name of the king, and I just want to say good things to you!
Crying, Li Shouyin wiped his tears and continued to say, if Prince Chitose is willing to speak for Gao Li, he will be Gao Li's reborn parents.
