The Japanese are the common enemies of the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, and if they want to completely solve the Japanese invaders, of course, they can't rely on the Ming Dynasty alone, and Goryeo must also contribute, but this expedition is confidential, so Li Jie only told Li Chenggui in advance that there was a fleet coming, but he did not tell him the purpose of the fleet.

When Li Fangyuan heard that Li Jie wanted them to contribute, he immediately changed his expression of embarrassment and said: "Qiqi Angel, our small people in Goryeo are weak, and there are endless fights in the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my father to draw too many troops!" ”

Li Jie knew that Li Fangyuan would say this, of course, to a certain extent, what he said was also the truth, after all, Goryeo was in a critical period of internal change, and the troops of Li Chenggui and his son were all used to suppress the opposition forces in the country, and it was normal for them not to be able to draw troops.

However, knowing that he knew it, Li Jie's face deliberately sank and said: "The Japanese are extremely harmful, and as far as I know, the first target of the Japanese is Goryeo, and now our Ming Dynasty has sent troops to clear out the Japanese Invaders, if Goryeo is unwilling to show sincerity, it really makes my Ming feel cold!" ”

"Angel is angry, our Goryeo is not unwilling to contribute, if Daming needs it, I am willing to promise on behalf of my father that I can supply some military grain and grass to Daming!" Li Fangyuan saw that Li Jie's face was unhappy, and immediately hurriedly explained.

Daming is willing to send troops to clear out the Japanese invaders, which is definitely a great thing for Goryeo, especially Li Fangyuan's father and son are friendly with Daming, if they can use the prestige of Daming when Daming sends troops, they can even suppress the opposition in Goryeo, maybe the opportunity that their father and son have been waiting for for many years will come in advance, so Li Fangyuan will take the initiative to support materials.

Hearing that Li Fangyuan was willing to provide some military food and grass, Li Jie also seemed to be a little moved, only to see him think for a moment and speak again: "I can also understand the difficulties of your father and son, but just some materials are still not enough, and it can be done in a day or two to solve the problem of the Japanese Invaders, and it may even be necessary for us to garrison troops nearby, so I need you to lend a place where we can temporarily garrison our troops!" ”

Li Fangyuan frowned when he heard this, although what Li Jie said sounded good, it was only "loaned", and it was a "temporary garrison", but as long as the Ming Dynasty garrisoned the land, it would be difficult to take it back.

So in Li Fangyuan's view, this is simply a cession of land, don't look at Li Fangyuan's father and son, although they are in power, they are not the kings of Goryeo after all, and they must also pay attention to the influence of doing things, in case they are used as a handle to attack them by political enemies, it is not easy for them to step down.

"What? You don't even want to do this little thing? Li Jie showed a somewhat impatient expression at this time.

Seeing Li Jie's impatient appearance, Li Fangyuan finally said again: "I don't know where you want to borrow the angel to garrison?" ”

"Jeju Island, where Meng Yuan was originally a horse production land, now I am carrying the fortune of heaven and expelling Meng Yuan, and the land left by Meng Yuan is just enough for us to use to garrison troops!" Li Jie waved his hand.

Hearing that Li Jie wanted Jeju Island, and also said that Jeju Island was the land left by Meng Yuan, Li Fangyuan also frowned. However, what Li Jie said was right, at the beginning, Goryeo was attached to the Mongol Yuan, and Jeju Island was occupied by the Mongols, mainly for horse breeding, until the Ming Dynasty defeated the Mong Yuan, and they took the opportunity to recapture Jeju Island.

"Angel of Qi, Jeju Island is vast, and all the people living on the island are our Goryeo people, if the Ming Dynasty garrisons here, it may cause a conflict between the two sides, and I'm afraid that the garrison alone will not be able to use such a large place, right?" Li Fangyuan hesitated for a while and finally said again.

The area of Jeju Island can be quite large, for example, Zhoushan Island is large enough, but Jeju Island is more than three times larger than Zhoushan Island, and it is precisely because of this large area that it can be used by the Mongols as a place for horse breeding.

"I have already said that the elimination of the Japanese is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, my Ming army not only needs a garrison, but also needs a land for raising horses and training troops, Jeju Island is just the right size, and it is also isolated from Goryeo proper, otherwise if it is stationed in Goryeo proper, it may cause a bigger conflict!" Li Jie is a vigorous way.

"This ...... This matter is very important, and it is not up to the lower officials to call the shots, I need to go back and ask my father! In the end, Li Fangyuan finally lowered his head and said.

"I said a long time ago, let my father come in person, only he can call the shots in this matter, but if you are willing to lend Jeju Island, we are also willing to give your father and son greater support!" Li Jie first sneered, and then threw out another bait.

Sure enough, when Li Fangyuan heard Li Jie's last words, his whole body was also shocked, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "What does the angel mean by this, what is greater support?" ”

"It's the support you want the most, but it depends on whether you're sincere or not!" Li Jie deliberately sold Guan Zidao, and his words directly hit the weakness of the Li father and son, so Li Jie was not afraid that they would not take the bait.

Sure enough, I saw Li Fangyuan immediately stand up and said, "Thank you angel, the lower official will go back to Kaicheng to report to his father, and his father will talk to you in detail at that time!" ”

After Li Fangyuan finished speaking, Li Jie also stood up to see him off, looking at the back of the other party when he got off the boat, Li Jie also secretly sneered, this Li Fangyuan is extremely famous in the history of North Korea, and even Li Chenggui finally fell into his hands, but no matter how smart and decisive the other party is, in the face of absolute strength, they have no chance to struggle.

Although Li Fangyuan left, there were other Goryeo officials who came to contact them, and handed over the supplies they had previously mobilized to the Ming fleet, because the fleet was too large to dock all of them, so they could only take turns to dock for supplies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to replenish, many people also went ashore to breathe, but the soldiers in the army were definitely not allowed to get off the ship, only those merchants who accompanied the army could get off the ship, in addition to playing, they would also purchase some local products in Goryeo, these merchants made a bold move, and soon caused a lot of sensation on Ganghwa Island.

Li Jie did not stop the actions of these merchants, after all, they had such a large fleet in Goryeo, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to, so it was better to let these merchants go ashore, so that they could also confuse the ears and eyes of others, and in the eyes of those who didn't know, they might be regarded as merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the fleet was replenished, but the fleet did not start, because Li Jie was still waiting for the arrival of Li Chenggui and his son, Li Fangyuan said that it would take two days to return to Kaecheng from here, so calculate the time, and their father and son should also come back.

Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Li Fangyuan came to visit again, but this time he did not come alone, but accompanied by a tall and magnificent old man, Li Jie had seen the portrait of Li Chenggui in Jinyiwei, so he recognized it at a glance, this old man was Li Chenggui who founded the Joseon Dynasty!
