In the study of King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, the burly Zhu Di sat there with a frown in his hand and fell into contemplation.

Zhu Di has just turned 30 years old this year, in the prime of life, tall figure with a mighty appearance, at first glance there is a five-point resemblance to Zhu Yuanzhang, under the loose clothes, it is difficult to hide the explosive muscles on his body, the two fan-like hands are full of calluses left by martial arts, Zhu Biao once said that Zhu Di is strong like a cow, in fact, Zhu Di is more like a tiger.

"Master, what do you think?" After a long while, Zhu Di raised his head and asked to the side.

I saw that on the chair next to him, a tall and thin monk wearing a black monk's robe was sitting there, with a pair of triangular eyes on his rectangular face, and his complexion was yellow, looking like he was seriously ill, this monk was Yao Guangxiao, the most important adviser around Zhu Di, and he could also be called a Daoyan monk.

Yao Guangxiao was holding a letter in his hand, which was a letter written by Li Jie to Zhu Di, and after he read the content of the letter carefully, he smiled slightly and said: "The words that this Li Ban read are really ugly!" ”

"Master, you are really idle, it's strange to say, my father killed other people's grandfathers, but let Li Jie marry the eldest brother's daughter, what did he think?" Zhu Di touched his chin at this time and said, he has been staying in Beiping all the year round, and he has a limited understanding of the situation in Nanjing, so he is also full of curiosity about Li Jie.

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand, I learned through some friends in the capital that this Li Jie has made many great contributions, and he was cut off from the Korean government early, plus His Majesty has a love for him, so it makes sense to recruit him as his grandson-in-law!" Yao Guangxiao laughed again.

"Then why don't you just recruit as a son-in-law?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Your Highness, don't you understand, this is Your Majesty's plan to leave Li Jie to the crown prince!" Yao Guangxiao explained earnestly.

"I see, my father is so good to my eldest brother!" Zhu Di also nodded when he heard this, but when he mentioned Zhu Biao, he didn't have the slightest jealousy, in fact, in the face of Zhu Biao's eldest brother, Zhu Di and several other brothers were all convinced, and they didn't dare to have other ideas.

"Then what do you think of this incident, Master, Li Jie's letter said that he wanted me to lead my troops to Goryeo, but he didn't say what he was going to do, and his father's holy decree only said that everything was arranged by Li Jie, is my father planning to attack Goryeo?" Zhu Di asked again puzzled at this time.

"Goryeo has always been deferential to my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty should have no reason to send troops, but I heard that Li Jie was ordered to clean up the Japanese with Xinguo Gong before, and it only took more than a month to wipe out the Japanese along the coast, and now he led his troops to go to Goryeo, will it have anything to do with the Japanese invaders?" Yao Guangxiao is worthy of being the first strategist by Zhu Di's side, and he guessed the key to the matter at once.

"Wako?" Zhu Di was also stunned when he heard this, but then said, "The Japanese invaders originated in the Japanese Kingdom, and my father and emperor have asked the Japanese State to control the Japanese invaders many times before, but the Japanese Kingdom has found reasons to shirk it, could it be that my father is really ruthless, like Meng Yuan before, ready to send troops to destroy the Japanese Kingdom, right?" ”

"Although the Japanese state is isolated overseas, it is not a small country, and its strength is stronger than that of Goryeo, if you want to destroy the Japanese country, even if it is with the strength of our Ming Dynasty, you must mobilize more than 100,000 troops and mobilize the power of the whole country, but now it is quiet, obviously Your Majesty does not want to destroy the Japanese country, but it is still very possible to knock the Japanese country!" Yao Guangxiao analyzed again.

"I see, but if it's just a knock on the Wa Kingdom, Li Jie should have prepared enough troops when he set off, why did he suddenly send someone to send a secret decree to let me lead my troops to the sea to Goryeo?" Zhu Di still couldn't think of it.

"I don't understand this question either, but since Li Jie has already asked His Majesty for this holy decree, it is obvious that he has been prepared for a long time, and His Majesty must have known about it, so it is better for the prince to prepare early!" Yao Guangxiao thought about it and said again.

Zhu Di also nodded after hearing this, no matter what the reason Li Jie wanted to send troops by himself, but his father's holy decree had arrived, and he was unwilling and couldn't.

"Okay, order people to order all the men and horses, and at the same time notify the sailors of Dazhigu and ask them to prepare their ships!" Zhu Di immediately made a decision, although a vassal king like him at the edge of the town, although he has heavy troops in his hands, he is usually subject to the control of the imperial court, and without Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, he can't move troops and horses, and he can't even go out of the city in normal times.

With Zhu Di's order, the elite soldiers guarding Beiping Mansion were immediately mobilized, but Zhu Di only selected 3,000 elite soldiers, because Li Jie's letter said that there was no need for too many troops, and the sailors of Dazhigu could not transport too many people at one time.

When the 3,000 elite soldiers were ready, Zhu Di immediately led his troops to Dazhigu, and Yao Guangxiao also went out with the army.

The so-called Dazhigu, in fact, is the Tianjin of later generations, but now has not changed its name, the Yuan Dynasty once set up the Dazhigu salt transport envoy here, to manage the production and marketing of salt, the Ming Dynasty in Beiping, set up a water division here in Dazhigu, responsible for the coastal defense security of the Bohai Sea.

Just when Zhu Di's elite soldiers began to board the ship in Dazhigu and go to sea, the fleet led by Li Jie went along the coast of Goryeo, and soon came to Jeju Island, which was not only a tourist mecca in later generations, but also had many excellent ports on the island.

Along with Yi Jie, there were also officials sent by Yi Sung-gye, and they took Yi Sung-gye's order, and immediately gathered the officials on the island after going ashore, and Goryeo set up a county on Jeju Island, and the highest governor was the county guard, and the current county guard surnamed Choi, and immediately rushed to the dock to greet him when he got the news.

"Xiaguan Cui Yu meets the envoy of the Great Tomorrow!" I saw that after Cui Junshou boarded the ship, he immediately saluted Li Jie, and I have to say that the aristocratic officials of Goryeo have a deep degree of sinicization, almost everyone can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and some people are proficient in Confucianism, and they also have a deep attainment in poetry and songs.

Li Jie was also a little helpless when he heard this, after coming to Goryeo, others called him an angel when they saw him, which meant to be an envoy of the Son of Heaven, but it always reminded him of the kind of birdman with wings.

"Cui Junshou doesn't need to be polite, you must already know He Ningjun's order, right?" Li Jie said lightly.

"Yes, Xia Guan will arrange a garrison for the angels immediately!" Cui Yu nodded immediately, but when he spoke, Li Jie could also see the look of embarrassment on his face, after all, it was a good Jeju Island, but now a Ming garrison suddenly came, and he was afraid that the county guard would be busy in the future.

"No need, our army has half of the sailors, I think this port is good, and the land behind the port is open, which can also be used as a military camp!" Li Jie waved his hand, and after coming to the port, he took a fancy to this place.

"Harbor!" Cui Junshou also smiled bitterly when he heard this, the port is the gateway to the island, if the port is occupied by the Ming Dynasty, then won't they all have to be controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the future?

"What, does Cui Junshou have any objections to my arrangement?" Li Jie's face sank at this time and asked.

"The angel misunderstood, since you like the port, then the lower official will arrange it!" Choi Junshou immediately explained, firstly, he did not dare to disobey Li Chenggui's orders, and secondly, Li Jie led a large army to come, although Jeju Island also had a garrison, but there were only more than a thousand people, and the army of the Ming Dynasty did not even have the strength to resist.

"Very good, Cui Junshou is busy with your affairs, so you don't have to worry about us, just arrange a person who is familiar with local affairs to come over, and we will handle the rest ourselves!" Lee Jie directly provoked the people, and the establishment of a garrison was only the first step, and then he would gradually take control of the entire Jeju Island.

"Yes, the lower official will retire!" Cui Junshou said again with a bitter face, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, facing the strong Ming, and the upper echelons of Goryeo have already agreed, and he has no room for resistance as a small county guard.

As soon as Cui Junshou left, Li Jie immediately ordered, Fang Guan commanded the navy to start landing, and then set up camp in the open space next to the port, but at this moment, Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng hurried over, and when they saw Li Jie, they immediately asked: "Li Banyu, aren't we going to Tsushima Island, why don't you stop at Jeju Island and not leave?" ”

"Don't worry, Tsushima Island is definitely going to go, but Jeju Island can't be given up here, I have already agreed with Goryeo, temporarily borrow the troops here, and the general's sailors will be stationed here in the future, so that if you encounter any difficulties, General Fang can also come to the aid in time!" Li Jie explained with a smile.

"Didn't you say you were going to garrison Tsushima?" Zhang Dingbian heard Li Jie's explanation but asked again puzzled, because according to their agreement with Daming, after conquering Tsushima Island, they would hand over Tsushima Island to Daming for garrison.

"Yes, there is a garrison on Tsushima Island, and there will also be a garrison here, and even some people will be relocated in the future, after all, Tsushima Island is too small, and military supplies have to be transported from Daming, and the consumption is too great, but if there is Jeju Island, many materials can be solved by the island." Li Jie explained again.

Jeju Island and Tsushima Island are both on the main road of communication in the Tsushima Strait, and if Daming wants to pass through the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom in the future, it is necessary to hold both islands in his hands, and compared to Tsushima Island, Jeju Island is more important, which can solve the problem of food and other materials, and produce good horses, which is simply the best bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to control the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo.

"Li Ban reads what you have a big picture!" Zou Pusheng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then raised his head and said, they didn't know why Da Ming wanted to support them to attack the Wa Kingdom, if it was just for the sake of the Wa Kou, there was no need to make such a big move, so they concluded that Da Ming must have other intentions, but they couldn't guess what Da Ming's intentions were?

"Hehe, the court's plan is indeed very big, but in comparison, my plan is even bigger than the court!" Li Jie smiled mysteriously and said again, Lao Zhu is just for the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom, but what he wants is to create an era on the sea.
