In front of me, the envoy of Goryeo was crying bitterly, with tears streaming down his face, as if he was dead.
At this time, King Yan already has Liaodong and controls the capital of Liaodong. If he can be benevolent to Goryeo again, he will definitely gain another big help! According to the worst plan, when he raises an army in the future, if nothing else matters, he will only cut off the supply of Goryeo.
War horses from the south have a 10% chance of winning!
(Zhu Di and Li Fangyuan had a very good relationship. When Li Fangyuan was an envoy to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, he stopped in Peiping. Later, Zhu Di raised an army. Gao Li said nicely that he was a rebellious minister and a traitor, but Zhu Yunwen sent someone to buy war horses. As a result...
...)
(Li Fangyuan was the third generation monarch of Goryeo and was canonized by Zhu Yunwen. After Zhu Di became emperor, he immediately sent people to pay tribute and asked to replace the original seal awarded by Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Di praised this person for his understanding of current affairs and accepted Zhu Di's canonization again! I think,
This may be one of the reasons why Zhu Di acquiesced in their expansion of borders in history.)
Thinking of this, Yao Guangxiao approached Zhu Di's ear, Prince...
But Zhu Di didn't give him a chance to speak, and put out his hand to block his ears.
Zhu Di looked at Li Shouyin, who had runny nose and tears, and sneered, "More parents? If I have a son with no ambition like you, I will just stuff him into a manure pit and drown him, so as not to be embarrassed in the future!"
Although Goryeo is small, it is still a country. You are a minister of the country, so regardless of your status and dignity, complaining like a country shrew, who do you want to see?
With that said, Zhu Di sneered again, are you still planning to tell me that you will bring a large number of precious beauties to offer to me?
Facing a big country, crying and begging is the magic weapon that Korea has tried many times. Li Shouyin was using all his strength to beg for mercy, but he never thought that Zhu Di would change his face just as he said.
At that moment, I was stunned and didn't know how to answer, only tears fell from my eyes.
Zhu Di showed a bit of disgust on his face, "Young man, you can cry whenever you want. If you, Goryeo, are really like you, what's the use of this country?" As he said, he leaned over slightly and looked at Li Shouyin condescendingly, but you shouldn't
Don’t I know this? With such a face, what ambitions do you have!
If he really treated the Ming Dynasty like his parents, how could he have rebelled so many times? How could he not be satisfied after devouring the Tieling Guards and send troops to the Yalu River?
Do you, Goryeo, think that after taking advantage, you can get benefits by crying and begging for mercy? Are you treating me, Daming, as a fool? Let me tell you clearly that all the good things in the world have been taken by you!
This king sees you as someone who doesn’t know the pain unless he slaps you on the face. If I spare you this time, you will have a next time, and a next time!
As he said this, Zhu Di became furious, "Come on!"
Yao Guangxiao was very anxious, Your Majesty!
No need to say it again! Zhu Di scolded and shouted to the outside world, pull down this Goryeo birdman and chop it into pieces!
Well! There was a loud response from outside, and then several guards came in, dragging Li Shouyin out.
Thousand years old, thousand years old! Li Shooyin was horrified. He never imagined that Zhu Di was a dog. He would fall out at any time, shouting that if the two countries were at war, he would not kill the envoy!
Damn it! Zhu Di snorted, you are just a messenger! Then he said to the guards that all the Koreans who came with him were chopped off, leaving only one, and their heads were sent back to the King of Korea!
Seeing Li Shouyin being dragged away, Yao Guangxiao's expression changed drastically and he said loudly, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Zhu Di looked at him indifferently, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he said, the Ming Dynasty has declared war on Goryeo. As the king of Sai, how can I ignore the Ming Dynasty for the sake of petty gains? The old man's imperial edict is clear.
The world is conquering its country. As the king of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, if I have an affair with Goryeo, wouldn’t I be an unfaithful and unfilial person?
As he said that, the tea bowl in his hand dropped heavily. I don't even bother to do this kind of thing!
Yao Guangxiao beat his chest and stamped his feet, how could this be eating him inside and out...?
It's easy to say that you've been tricked by others! Zhu Di snorted, your strategy is good, but it can't be used! If it is used, what will happen to me? Hundreds of thousands of men are in the north, dying for the country, and I am for myself.
Self-interest kills them? They are all sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty! You have been with me for so long, and you don’t know what I am like?
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo are in a national war! Although I hate that yellow-haired boy deeply in my heart, there is no room for selfishness in the face of a national war! According to your plan, I am the sinner of the Ming Dynasty. Even if I win in the future, I will not
You are shameful! You will be cursed by people for eternity and be infamy for eternity!
Your Majesty, you are not a husband if you are not poisonous! Yao Guangxiao argued, when did you become so kind to a woman?
This is Datong, not Xiaoren. This is different from my king letting Bei Yuan invade Datong! Zhu Di sighed, in fact, I have done something wrong this time about Datong. Bei Yuan invaded Ming Dynasty, killed our soldiers, and looted
My people, destroy my fields and houses and make life miserable!
As he said that, he let out another long sigh. When he was a boy, I vowed to be an upright hero, to drive the Tartars out of the country, and to spread the power of tomorrow in the sea. But now, I have done this.
If you make a mistake once, you cannot make a mistake a second time. Guangxiao, if you follow your plan and the Ming Dynasty is defeated and the soldiers die tragically on the battlefield, it will be an insult to the country. Can I still be considered a human being?
Thousand years old! Yao Guangxiao said regretfully, but...if we don't follow this plan, it will be even more difficult in the future!
The thing I am not afraid of the most in this life is difficulty! Zhu Di sat upright, his eyes like the bright moon.
Hey! Yao Guangxiao clapped his hands and sat down slumped.
At this time, there were footsteps again from outside, and the guard said outside the door, "May the prince be a thousand years old. The king of Liao, a thousand years old, has arrived outside the city and is about to enter the city!"
Oh! Zhu Di stood up immediately and said in surprise, the fourteenth brother is here! Come on, come with me to greet him! After saying that, he looked back at Yao Guangxiao and said softly, there are things that men do and things that they don’t do. Guangxiao, you know
In my heart, there are some things that I really don’t want to do!
Yao Guangxiao suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "The prince is good in every way, but it is this heroic spirit that makes people love and anger him at the same time!"
~~
Outside Peiping City, Liaodong Zhu Zhi led hundreds of personal guards, waiting for the defenders in the city to let him go.
Zhu Zhi was the fourteenth son of the emperor. When he was in his early twenties, he became a vassal of Guangningwei and was one of the nine fortress kings of the Ming Dynasty. The young man was extraordinary in martial arts, but when faced with the humble defenders who refused to let him go without permission, he looked confused.
Peaceful.
Not only did he wait outside the city gate in a polite manner, he also smiled at the aggrieved guards around him and said, "Beiping is a great city in the world and it is also the fiefdom of the fourth brother. We are just guests from outside, how can we rush in rashly?"
. You killers, please behave yourself. Don’t let others laugh at us, the sons of Guangning Guard, for not knowing the rules!
The guards on horseback who were murderous because the city gate army refused to let him go suddenly laughed honestly.
Speaking of which, the Guangning Guards went deep into Liaodong and were the most advanced military guards in the North. These elite and unruly soldiers from the North were even more powerful than King Yan's men.
King Zhu Zhi of the Liao Dynasty was an anomaly among the princes. He was heroic but well-behaved. He never did anything arrogant. In the eyes of the old man, he was a rare honest child.
Historically, in the early days of Jianwen's reduction of vassals, he obediently handed over military power and returned to the capital. After Zhu Di came to the throne, he hated him for not helping him and was quite neglected.
Peiping! Tsk tsk, it looks much more majestic than our Guangning Guard! Zhu Zhi looked at the city walls of Peiping and smiled again.
The place where he joined the vassal was purely military and guard. There were more soldiers than civilians, which was incomparable to Peking.
After the words fell, the guards around him laughed again, with some envy in their eyes. The warriors in the team, who had braids and looked like Jurchens, looked at the tall city wall and couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
The Guangning Guard went deep into Liaodong, and it was natural that the King of Liao had Jurchen warriors under his command.
At this time, the city gate suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry came rushing towards them. The man in the front, wearing an apricot-yellow dragon robe, dismounted from a distance and laughed, "Fourteenth brother, why are you here suddenly!"
Fourth brother! Zhu Zhi also laughed, got off the horse, ran over in a few steps, and was about to greet him, bowing slightly. Why are you here in person?
Zhu Di held the other person's shoulders to prevent him from bowing down, and laughed and said, "My brother is here, and I, as your older brother, will naturally come out to greet you!" After saying that, he put his arms around his shoulders affectionately, walked toward the city, and said,
Why don't you send someone a message first!
The younger brother was so anxious at the thought of fighting side by side with his fourth brother that he asked his soldiers to gather in Liaoyang first and then came over with his own soldiers! Zhu Zhi smiled and said, besides, the emperor's grandson had to pass through Peiping, and the younger brother was a minister.
, you can’t just wait where you are!
Zhu Di smiled again, put down his hand on the other person's shoulder, and said with a smile, you are also the elder of the emperor's grandson, so you are so particular about everything! At such a young age, you have lost the freshness of a young man with such rules. Look at the seventeenth brother
, the King of Heaven and I are not afraid!
That won't work! Zhu Zhi said seriously, the king is the minister, and the younger brother cannot lose his conscience. Besides, my mother-in-law wrote a letter saying that the emperor's grandson took great care of her in the palace, and the younger brother cannot lose his conscience!
His biological mother was Han, and she was a responsible woman in the palace. Except for some interactions with Concubine Guo Hui, she rarely saw outsiders. After Zhu Yunxi got married, Zhao Ning'er often went out with Concubine Hui.
The two brothers entered the city side by side.
Zhu Zhi said happily, "Brothers are fighting, and father and son are fighting. This time in the expedition against Goryeo, the emperor's grandson led the troops, and his younger brother and fourth brother all served under the emperor's grandson. We Zhu family members, working together, will definitely destroy their country."
Heir! As he said this, he laughed excitedly and said, in addition to the 6,000 soldiers left behind by the Guangning Guards, my younger brother brought out more than 30,000 soldiers and horses that could be mobilized under his command.
Then, he smiled again, not only our Ming men, but also the Jurchen tribe in Guangningwei, my brother has recruited several. When the army gathers in Liaoyang, a hundred thousand tigers and wolves will conquer the mountains and rivers. Fourth brother, my brother must ask for help this time.
For Pioneers......
Seeing his young brother in high spirits and happily thinking about making achievements, Zhu Di felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Maybe it was because the other party's words about brothers fighting, father and son going into battle hurt him. Or maybe it was because the other party never left Zhu Yunxi.
You must be tired after traveling all the way. Let's rest at home first and meet your sister-in-law. Then we brothers can have a few drinks! Zhu Di said with a smile.
Did the fourth brother send troops to find out how long it would take for the emperor's grandson to arrive in Peiping? Zhu Zhi continued to ask.
Zhu Di thought about it, and then said, it's about time, it should be in the next few days!
As soon as he finished speaking, another fast horse came galloping behind him.
Your Majesty is a thousand years old, and the chariot of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has arrived in Peiping, only thirty miles away from Peiping City!
What? Zhu Di was shocked, so fast! Then he thought, he had his own eyes and ears along the way, how come the emperor's grandson came directly under his nose, but no one reported the news.
