As a native of Jiajing, Zhu Houcong had different ambitions. The happiest thing about him was actually that his fierce ministers and generals traveled everywhere for decades.
If the emperor is different, the behavior of his ministers will also be different.
But the same thing is that their abilities are still there, even stronger.
Yan Song said calmly to Elders Li and Yin who had not yet returned home: "Whether it's OK or not, no matter what, your envoy should go to the Ming Dynasty and wait for an answer from your king. Now, despite all the obstacles, you want the Ming Dynasty to do this unjust thing."
"Excuse me, what terms have I agreed with my subordinates like you?"
Li was restless among them, but Yuanlao Yin took the risk.
He knew very well that Li Yi had originally asked Ming Dynasty to help him calm the situation and "clear the emperor's side".
Who does Li Yi want to find out? It’s brother Xiao Yin who is related to Queen Wending!
Although there is no evidence for anything, as long as Li Gao is still allowed to be the crown prince, Li Yi will only be worried about Queen Wending and Brother Xiaoyin.
Now that the Ming Dynasty wanted to borrow land from Jeju to station troops and transfer grain, grass and military supplies, I am afraid that Li Yi was so happy that the Ming Dynasty sent two or three thousand people overland to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Brother Xiao Yin.
Li Yi is extremely stupid and leads the wolf into the house!
At this moment, Yin Yuanlao said with "righteous words": "The superior country can help Korea eradicate the Japanese invasion, and the whole country is naturally grateful. However, Korea is small and poor, and the people still have insufficient food. Master Wang wants to buy grain nearby to avoid merchants.
With hoarding and food price fluctuations, I am afraid that Korea will be in chaos. Foreign ministers do not need to report to the king. Since they are ministers of Korea, how can they allow such a request that harms the people? Sir Yan, the country is rich and has many ships. Foreign ministers, please give me your regards.
The camp in Jeju was temporarily rented, and the king's troops were transported by sea to the generals, grain, grass and military supplies. This is enough to be regarded as loyal to the country!"
"Is this the result, or is it because you are in danger of being called 'losing soil and humiliating the country' that I have to accept your favor and ask you to recognize the next leader of North Korea in the future and continue to establish diplomatic relations with your country?" Yan Song looked sharply at it.
Looking at him, "Your Majesty, why don't you make it clear? Why did the next North Korean leader accept your invitation? If I remember correctly, didn't your country already have a crown prince for many years?"
Yin Yuanlao gritted his teeth: "Sir Yan, I despise the story of the dispute between the crown and the prince. His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of China also stated it clearly to the king in the letter of credence. Why do you need to ask questions when you know it? If the foreign minister can return it with a brief report, it means that the foreign minister has agreed.
At the request of the superior country, the civil and military officials of the DPRK allowed the emperor's troops to pass through North Korea and allocate territory to station troops. How could they not impeach the foreign minister, act on his own initiative, lose power and betray the country? I'm afraid that as soon as the foreign minister's memorial arrives, the foreign minister's family will be impeached.
condemn!"
Yan Song was unmoved: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the monarchs and ministers of North Korea are very jealous of the Ming Dynasty? They have been friendly for many years and have constant border trade. Although they knew that North Korea was constantly fighting for power, they never interfered. Now that we are fighting against the enemy together, it is naturally better to leave North Korea.
, but North Korea refused to even allow King Xu Daming to borrow a way to have a place to prepare for the expedition and transfer grain and grass? Is it the best way to just go by sea? "
"If there is a Japanese invasion, why would the king bother to go on an expedition if our country can only allow this country to purchase ships, cannons, and new firearms? North Korea must be a vassal vassal to prevent the Japanese invasion from outside Shanghai's waters!"
Yan Song nodded: "I understand the state affairs. However, I still want to remind your envoy that this country is discussing major plans with other countries. You are just an envoy, not the master of North Korea. Even if North Korea wants to completely eradicate the Japanese invasion, it will
If the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to use the road, use the land to organize the army, and buy grain for transshipment in Korea, what are the conditions? It is for the leader of your country to ask the Ming Dynasty. Your envoy is now trying to resist it in every possible way and is unwilling to take the attitude of asking questions. How about the state affairs of this country?
I will inform Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to send envoys to Korea to discuss with your King in person."
Elder Yin's face turned green and red.
All he wanted was a promise, and he just wanted to seize the opportunity to go to Ming Dynasty to gain leverage.
Being squeezed out of the Korean Central Committee by his younger brother to go to the Ming Dynasty, I didn't know what would happen after I returned. They all knew that the treaty they made when they came to the Ming Dynasty was definitely not for the Ming Dynasty to benevolent to the vassals. After returning, it would definitely not be called a merit. Although everything
Everyone knows that they can't fight for anything in front of the Ming Dynasty, but that doesn't stop them from pointing at Elder Yin and ridiculing him for his cowardice.
But if under the new rules, it would be completely different if he had the initiative to decide who would be the leader of North Korea in the future and whether he would be recognized by the Ming Dynasty.
For this reason, he actually dared to sign a good treaty on behalf of Li Yi right here.
He was even ready to completely abandon Jeju Island in the future. Anyway, these geniuses knew that Japan’s Tsushima Island was actually close to being controlled by the Ming Dynasty. After the two giant islands in the sea south of Korea were both controlled by the Ming Dynasty, North Korea still
How can you not be submissive?
Could it be that Mr. Yan Guolao didn't understand what he meant? Such a big vote-for-name certificate was not a loss of power and betrayal of the country.
As long as he helped him gain power and supported his close nephew to ascend the throne of North Korea, he would certainly do his best to satisfy Ming Dynasty's requirements.
But why do you have to say those superficial words with dignity and dignity? Make it look like you are truly negotiating as equals.
Why did the Liaodong Army carry no weapons and baggage when they crossed the border, and all the ordnance was transferred from the sea to the army camp. During the march, the army camp was temporarily used by North Korean elites to lead the way and defend it. Why did North Korea see how much it could sell this year?
Food will not make it difficult for North Korean people to survive the winter...
These were all prepared to ask North Korea and clearly written in the treaty. In return, the Ming Dynasty allowed North Korea to ask for corresponding compensation after defeating the Japanese pirates, and exempted North Korean merchants from half of the tariffs when trading with the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of diplomatic relations, they agreed to become brothers.
Allies...
When such conditions were passed back to North Korea, how could Li Yi think too much about them? He was afraid that he could not wait to agree to them all and even let the Ming army station nearby. If he wanted to move, he would send a letter asking for help from the king, and Brother Xiao Yin would probably have to ask for help.
The soul returns to the west.
"Old Yan Guo, why do you need to embarrass foreign ministers?"
Yan Song looked at Li: "Hai'an Lord, according to the requirements for inviting countries to send envoys this time, if the head of the country or the clan is the envoy, he will be the official envoy. Now, you are not willing to inform your father first about the Ming Dynasty's request.
Wang, I want to ask about your attitude?"
"...Foreign Minister..." Li smiled bitterly and looked at Elder Yin, "Old Yan, why do you need to embarrass me..."
Yan Song shook his head and sighed: "If you are not a king, and your ministers are not ministers, your country will always be in chaos! That's all. The Ming Dynasty has an extremely firm attitude towards the Japanese plague and must be eradicated completely. Let you, the vassal countries in the past, become the Ming Dynasty.
To suppress the Japanese pirates and allow the Japanese pirates to continue to trouble the people of the vassal country, how can you bear it when your majesty is so kind? It is said that brothers working together can cut off gold. Now that you two are pushing back and forth, I will report to your majesty and send an envoy to North Korea to explain in detail.
The two of you are committing an act of 'losing power and betraying the country'. I'd like to ask your king if he thinks so too. If so, I'm afraid we won't be able to succeed as brotherly countries like Ming and North Korea in the future."
Li's expression changed, and Elder Yin's eyes became even more panicked.
"Master Yan, stay!"
Yin Yuanlao shouted urgently. If the Ming Dynasty envoys said this when they arrived in North Korea, then Yin Yuanlao would really "offend the superior country" and make North Korea unable to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty in the future and risk becoming an enemy country.
Under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yi and Yin Ren will definitely push him to block the arrows, and his younger brother Yin Yuanheng will definitely use his current advantages to lead this negotiation, in exchange for "still supporting Li Gong's succession but having substantial power guarantees that will not be liquidated."
.
With their arms unable to hold their thighs, Ming Dynasty was really determined to conquer the Japanese country, and borrowing North Korea was indeed the best strategy in terms of military strategy. Under such a situation, they really could negotiate a balanced situation within North Korea. Li Yi himself, the prince faction
, Shilin faction and Queen Wen Ding’s brother and sister can both have acceptable results.
Any subsequent changes will naturally be decided based on the development of the Ming Dynasty's "borrowing roads to defeat the Japanese".
In that case, he was the only one who became the outcast of North Korea and the sinner who was pushed out to appease Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Lao Yin gritted his teeth and said: "The foreign minister has participated in the plan to defeat the Japanese under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. If we want to pass through North Korea, I kindly ask our superiors to recommend the foreign minister to take on the important task of restraining the Korean leading army and the Korean defenders of the Ming Dynasty Expedition Camp!"
With foreign ministers here, it will be more appropriate for North Korea to assist the superior country, so as not to use others to leak military aircraft and delay the plan to defeat the Japanese!"
"Recommend you to be the minister of coordination with North Korea?" Yan Song smiled half-heartedly, but did not agree to him. "This is your king's decision. If the Ming Dynasty acted like this, wouldn't it be using power to suppress others and meddling in the power of the North Korean monarchy? The conquest has not started yet.
Are you going to make your Majesty jealous of your Majesty? Eradicating the Japanese invasion is related to the interests of all countries. It is a beautiful thing, so why should you confuse this matter with your internal power struggle?"
"Sir Yan!" Mr. Yin was extremely helpless, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Why would Mr. Yan tease foreign ministers like this? Nowadays, there is indeed a dispute between the crown prince! It is also true that the crown prince and his uncle are jealous of the brothers of foreign ministers! North Korea
Such is the truth, wouldn’t it be even more unsightly if we couldn’t draw any conclusions from this and wholeheartedly help our country to eradicate the Japanese plague?”
"...Are you starting from the truth? This is in line with His Majesty's practical knowledge and dialectics." Yan Song nodded, "It's still not good to recommend you directly. However, to put in a good word for you, please choose someone familiar with the Ming Dynasty.
It's okay to negotiate. Mr. Yin, can you go to North Korea now and hand over the credentials of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The foreign minister thought...it would be better to decide on the march route and the location of the expedition camp first. In this way, the foreign minister can explain it more clearly when we are sparse."
Yan Song was very patient: "Forget it, please ask your envoy to move to the military affairs meeting."
Talking about these specifically is not Yan Song’s business.
