"Do you have a lot of ways to solve the hidden dangers of Goryeo?" Zhu Biao saw Li Jie's confident appearance, and he couldn't believe it for a while, because Li Jie's words made him doubt his IQ, but he didn't expect any of them.

"Of course!" Li nodded, "Actually, Your Majesty is also aware of this problem, so he proposed to Tsushima Island, with this island, the Ming Dynasty can garrison troops on the island, and it can be attacked and defended, but only one island cannot completely deter Goryeo, unless a strong navy is built, backed by this navy, it is enough to make Goryeo dare not move!" ”

"Build a navy?" Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment and then said, "As far as I know, shipbuilding costs a lot of money, and the training of the navy is also different from that on land, which consumes a lot of time, and if you want to build a strong navy, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of financial and material resources, right?" ”

"Your Highness, there is a saying among the people, called 'reluctant children can't catch wolves', the silver mine of the Japanese country has an annual silver income of millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels, if there is no strong military guarantee, sooner or later there will be problems, and even if there is a strong navy, there is still no complete guarantee that there will be no problems in the future!" Li Jie spoke again.

"Is it okay to have a navy?" Zhu Biao almost jumped up when he heard this, the investment in building the navy alone is sky-high, if other investments are needed, then this hole is too big.

"Of course not, Your Highness is familiar with history books, you should know the rise and fall of dynasties, no dynasty can remain strong forever, so even if there is a strong navy now, it is inevitable that future generations will slack off, in case something happens at home, overseas interests will not be taken care of, so it is not enough to have a navy alone!" Li Jie went further.

"So what else is going to do?" Zhu Biao had lost the ability to think at this time, and his thinking was completely deviated by Li Jie.

"In fact, the most thorough solution is also the simplest, if the imperial court directly sends troops to destroy Goryeo, wouldn't it be possible to sit back and relax?" Li Jie said again with a smile.

"No, although Goryeo is a small country, it has always been independent of the Central Plains, if the imperial court sends troops, it will inevitably provoke their strong resistance, and Meng Yuan failed to destroy them back then, so it can be seen that this small country must have its advantages!" When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused, although destroying Goryeo could completely solve the problem, he didn't think about it at all.

"Your Royal Highness, as the so-called one time and another, Goryeo is now in power, and the country is in turmoil, it is the best time for us to profit from it, such as that Li Chenggui, who is nothing more than a wolf with ambition and wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own, we Daming, as the suzerain, naturally want to maintain the orthodoxy of Goryeo!" When Li Jie said the end, he also showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Li Jie's words were not finished, but Zhu Biao also suddenly woke up when he heard this, it turned out that Li Jie was fighting this idea, and now the imperial court supports Li Chenggui, mainly because the Ming Dynasty has no intention of encroaching on Goryeo, but if necessary, he can use this opportunity to support Li Chenggui on the surface, and then suddenly regret it when he rebels, and send troops in the name of supporting Goryeo orthodoxy.

Although Li Chenggui has mastered the military and political power of Goryeo, after all, the country is small and the people are weak, and the voice of opposition to him in the country is still not small, plus the Ming Dynasty is under the banner of righteousness, and it will definitely be able to call on many people who oppose Li Chenggui to take refuge, so it is not difficult to defeat Li Chenggui, and as long as Li Chenggui dies, the Ming Dynasty can justifiably garrison Goryeo and control the military and political power of Goryeo.

"Your Highness, this matter is actually not troublesome, as long as we occupy Tsushima Island, when Li Chenggui rebels, he will definitely send someone to contact us, and then we can send an army into Goryeo under the banner of supporting him, and then give him a fatal blow at a critical moment, and then the big thing can be done!" Li Jie saw that Zhu Biao was still a little hesitant, so he spoke again to persuade.

This kind of thing under the banner of counterinsurgency to destroy the surrounding small countries, Zhu Biao's good brother Zhu Di has done it, and what he destroyed is the historical Annan, that is, the Vietnam of later generations, when the Vietnamese Hu father and son usurped the throne and established the Hu dynasty, Zhu Di sent troops to directly destroy Annan under the banner of helping Annan to quell the rebellion, and set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy, which was also the last rule of the Central Plains Dynasty over Vietnam.

"This ...... This matter is too important, and it still needs to be decided by my father! In the end, Zhu Biao hesitated, but it could be seen from his expression that he was still very moved by this matter.

"That's natural, in fact, Your Highness can think about it, as long as you take Goryeo, you can connect with Liaodong, and Goryeo has many ports, and a large number of navies can be stationed, with these navies, it can also better ensure the safety of silver mines, and even annex the entire Wa Kingdom, and completely solve the hidden dangers along the coast of Daming!" At this time, Li Jie once again described to Zhu Biao the bright prospect of occupying Goryeo.

Zhu Biao was even more moved after hearing this, but for such a big matter as the capture of Goryeo, even if he was the crown prince, he couldn't decide on his own, at most, he expressed his support in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his opinion was still very important to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The reason why Li Jie has been agitating Zhu Biao is actually planning for the future, although the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom are attractive, but to put it mildly, at the age of Lao Zhu, he can lay a silver mine when he is alive, and it is not easy to see silver mined in the silver mine, in fact, the entire silver mine is a small treasury prepared by Lao Zhu for his children and grandchildren.

So whether you can keep this silver mine, the key is to see the ability of Zhu Biao's children and grandchildren, Li Jie is now giving Zhu Biao a vaccination, so that he can estimate the risks that the silver mine may face, so that he can make some preparations in advance, so as not to be at a loss if something really goes wrong in the future.

In addition, the so-called building a navy and annexing the Wa Kingdom is not that Li Jie is painting a big pie, but he really has such an idea, because there is an ocean current in the east of the Wa Kingdom, which can directly reach the west coast of the Americas.

Of course, the above may be too far away, and it will definitely not be possible in a short time, after all, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, but building a navy and invading Goryeo can already start planning.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the warm pavilion, which made Zhu Biao and Li Jie also a little worried, now there are only Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Yuanzhang in the warm pavilion, and even the inner servants have been driven out, but it has been so long, even if the two have more, they should finish talking, right?

"Your Highness, why don't you go in and have a look?" Li Jie hesitated for a moment before suggesting to Zhu Biao that Zhu Yuanzhang's temper is not very good, and he will definitely make him unhappy if he goes in rashly, but Zhu Biao has a big face and is his own son, so Lao Zhu will not do anything to him even if he gets angry.

"Why don't you go in?" Zhu Biao pouted and said, although Lao Zhu stopped beating him during this time, he scolded people more ruthlessly, so he didn't want to touch this moldy head.

"Why don't we go in and have a look?" Li Jie proposed again, if the old Zhu Zhen got angry after entering, such as throwing the inkstone last time, he could still hide behind Zhu Biao, anyway, Zhu Biao was obese and definitely not flexible.

"Okay!" Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally agreed, but he did not see through Li Jie's sinister intentions.

Immediately, the two of them entered the warm pavilion together, but a strong smell of wine came to their faces, and they almost smoked out Li Jie, who didn't like to drink.

took a few steps forward, Li Jie and Zhu Biao finally saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Dingbian, only to see the two of them sitting on the chairs, there were not many dishes on the table, six or seven wine jars fell to the ground, and they all looked empty, and the two of them were red, and the boss with four eyes staring at each other was staring at each other motionless.

The scene in front of them was really a little weird, Li Jie and Zhu Biao glanced at each other, and they both saw a little puzzlement in each other's eyes, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Dingbian didn't react to them coming in, and seemed to be staring at each other.

After all, Zhu Biao was worried about his father, so he quickly stepped forward and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang softly: "Father, you ......."

As soon as Zhu Biao's words came out, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's body suddenly collapse, and with a "bang", he threw himself on the table and remained motionless, which made Zhu Biao and Li Jie also startled, and they just wanted to go up to check, but they only heard a snoring sound, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so drunk that he didn't wake up!

"Hehe~, I'm ...... I won! I saw Zhang Dingbian on the other side grinning, and as soon as the words fell, his big bald head also pierced into the wine and food on the table, and the soup was drenched, and then there was a snoring sound.

"At such an old age, you still learn how young people to fight?" Zhu Biao was speechless, and Li Jie next to him also nodded in agreement.

At the moment, Zhu Biao and Li Jie were one by one, and wanted to help Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Dingbian up, but these two old men were all burly, especially Zhang Dingbian, who had tendons and flesh, Li Jie couldn't help them at all, so he had no choice but to call the guards outside and let them carry Zhang Dingbian to rest, and Zhu Yuanzhang had Zhu Biao personally take care of him.

Originally, Li Jie wanted to know what kind of agreement Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Dingbian would reach in the end, but unfortunately now the two old men are all drunk and unconscious, so it seems that they can only wait until tomorrow to ask.

It's just that what Li Jie didn't expect was that he had just gotten up the next morning, and when he was about to go to Zhan Shifu, he didn't expect someone to knock on the door outside, and when he opened the courtyard door, he was also very surprised: "Master Mu, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was Zhang Dingbian, and I saw that the other party had recovered to the appearance of a monk in the past, but his slightly reddened eyes proved that the effect of the hangover was still there, and he saluted Li Jie slightly: "Deputy Envoy Li, I am here to bid you farewell!" ”

"Resignation?" Li Jie was also very surprised when he heard this, why did he just come to the capital, he was leaving, could it be that he and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't talk about it yesterday?

"Master, let's come in and talk about it!" Li Jie immediately invited Zhang Dingbian into the living room, and made tea with his own hands, and then asked again, "Master, where are you going, what did Your Majesty say to you yesterday?" ”

Zhang Dingbian seemed to see what Li Jie was worried about, so he smiled slightly and said: "Deputy Envoy Li doesn't have to worry, I have already negotiated the conditions with His Majesty, and he promised to let me collect the nine fishermen, but he can't force me, he can only let me recruit them personally, as long as they are willing to go with me, he will never stop them, and he will also pay for their journey, and even support us with a batch of weapons and grain and grass!" ”

"Great, so you agreed to Tsushima as well?" Li Jie also slapped his thigh happily when he heard this, and then asked again.

"Yes, although I don't know what you want to do with the Falklands, but the conditions given by Da Ming are too generous, and I can't refuse!" Zhang Dingbian nodded and said, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't tell him about the silver mine.

Li Jie hesitated for a moment at this time, and then said: "Your Majesty wants Tsushima Island, it is indeed of great use, maybe you will know about it in the future, master, and I have another news to tell you, there may be a big change in Goryeo in the past two years, although it will not affect Kyushu Island, but you must also be mentally prepared, master." ”

"Thank you Vice Envoy Li for the reminder!" Zhang Dingbian heard that there was a change in Goryeo, and his heart immediately moved, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Tsushima Island to deal with the changes in Goryeo?

At that moment, Li Jie asked about the things in Ningbo again, and cared about his next itinerary, and Zhang Dingbian also answered them one by one.

Ningbo was very calm, the impact of the storm had passed, and the relief was very smooth, as for Zhang Dingbian himself, he was going to Poyang Lake first, where a group of Chen Youliang's old troops were placed, and I heard that there were nearly 100,000 people.

At the beginning, after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he separated his subordinates and placed them in more than a dozen waters, Poyang Lake should be the largest resettlement point, although Chen Youliang has been dead for more than 20 years, but most of the old people at that time are still alive, they live in hardship, coupled with Zhang Dingbian's appeal, should be able to convince many people.

Since Zhang Dingbian was leaving, Li Jie simply didn't go to Zhan Shifu, and immediately invited Zhang Dingbian to the restaurant, and booked a table of wine banquet to see him off, and Zhang Dingbian was also very free, and after eating and drinking enough with his disciples, he immediately said goodbye to Li Jie, and then left Beijing with the officials who accompanied him!

Looking at Zhang Dingbian's distant back, Li Jie showed a complicated look, Zhang Dingbian had reached the age of enjoying his old age, but because of his arrival, he had to run around again, although this was the other party's own wishes, but Li Jie was still a little dazed, I don't know if these changes he made were a blessing or a curse for Zhang Dingbian and others?
