The hatred between Korea and the Japanese can be said to have been around for a long time. It can be said that the land of North Korea is like a piece of fat, which has always been placed in front of the Wa State, which makes the Wa State want to take a bite very much. After so many years, it has never stopped.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Wa State had already done a vote, but it was defeated by Liu Renliang at the mouth of the Baijiang River.

After so many years, the mind of the Wa Kingdom has never been extinguished. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, it was also a repeated invasion, and I don't know how many times I fought with North Korea.

During the three major expeditions of Wanli, the Wa Kingdom was beaten again. The hatred between the two sides has increased, in fact, didn't they fight again later?

The Japanese still wanted to take Korea, and from Korea to the three eastern provinces, occupy all of China, rule Southeast Asia, and lay down a large territory. It can be said that a small country has big ambitions, and it is something that has been done all along.

During World War II, the Japanese Kingdom once made a notorious ***** circle.

In fact, during the three major expeditions of Wanli, Tokugawa Ieyasu Toyotomi Hideyoshi put forward this idea: first take Korea, then occupy the Ming Dynasty, and finally fight to Southeast Asia to establish a big empire.

It's just that the plan hasn't even started, and it's stillborn. I didn't expect it to start again in World War II.

Then everyone knew that the Wa Kingdom had failed again.

This is a country that has always wanted to go from the islands to the land, and has always wanted to get a habitat on the land and build a very large empire, but it has never succeeded.

For this chaotic neighbor, North Korea must be unhappy in his heart. It's just that North Korea can't defeat the Japanese state, and it has been bullied for so many years. If there is no Ming Dynasty to support North Korea, it is estimated that North Korea has already been destroyed. Under such circumstances, North Korea is powerless to fight back.

At the time of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the later Ming Dynasty could no longer support such a war. After all, a war on multiple fronts is really untenable, and the country has no money.

But now it's different, now that Zhu Youxiao has money and people, how can he not do it?

Pull North Korea to do a cannon together, and then divide some territory to North Korea in this place.

The armies of the Ming and North Korea are fused together, the people are also together, and the political and economic exchanges are more abundant, how long can this place in North Korea hold out in the hands of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know, but he was looking forward to it.

At this time, outside the city, Li Zong had already arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Along the way, it can be said that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. Since entering Dandong, Li Zong's whole person has become different.

Speaking of which, he was still a little excited, especially after learning that the Ming Emperor had come to Liaodong to fight this time.

Li Zong has been bullied by Nurhachi many years ago, especially when Daming was powerless. Now it's finally time to fight back, and this is to avenge them.

What's more, Li Zong is a hardcore pro-Ming faction, and the stronger Daming's strength becomes, the more stable his power becomes, which is very important.

Sitting in the carriage and looking out from time to time, Li Zong's excitement in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

I'm about to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know what he wants to say to himself. Whatever you say to yourself, it's a good thing in the end.

Next to Li Zong, there were many ministers of North Korea.

These people supported Li Zong at the beginning, and they were also hardcore pro-Ming factions. Now that I have such an opportunity to communicate and learn from the Ming Dynasty, and to be able to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this is really a rare opportunity.

When the group arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people waiting here.

Sun Chengzong stood next to the crowd.

Standing beside Sun Chengzong was the Wei Dynasty, and the two had been waiting here for a while. However, he had been resting in the next room before, and only after getting a report from the guards did he come out and stand next to the crowd.

Although the other party is the king of North Korea, it is necessary to maintain enough respect, but the current Liaodong is too cold. If you stand at the door for a while, the two of them are not very good, and it is estimated that they will freeze out of the cold. If you get caught in the cold, it's not going to be easy.

Park Zhenghong came to Li Zong and said, "King, the people of the Ming Dynasty are in front to greet you. ”

"Who's coming?" After Li Zong heard this, his face became excited, and he turned to Park Zhenghong and asked.

"King Hui is Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff of the Ming Dynasty's General Staff Office, and the Wei Dynasty, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty." Park Zhenghong hurriedly said: "These two people are close to the current emperor, and Sun Chengzong is still the teacher of the current emperor. ”

After hearing this, Li Zong immediately became excited.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really still values himself, and the identity of the person who was sent to greet him is not ordinary.

Li Zong said to Park Zhenghong beside him: "Let people stop, this king wants to get out of the car, and he must be close to the two ministers." ”

Park Zhenghong didn't say anything, he should indeed be close to each other.

Although the king of his own family is the king in North Korea, he is the king of the vassal in the Ming Dynasty, and he still can't take it in the face of such a top minister.

Park Zhenghong said: "Okay, let the minister prepare." ”

After waiting for each other for a short time, the two sides met.

Sun Chengzong looked Li Zong up and down, and found that this was a fat man who was a little weak, and his steps were very frivolous when he walked.

However, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the king." ”

Wei Chao on the side also smiled and saluted and said, "I've seen the king." ”

Li Zong walked over with a smile, reached out and grabbed Sun Chengzong's hand, and helped him up; He walked to Wei Chao's side again, reached out and took his hand, and helped him up.

Li Zong's movements are very rusty, and it can be seen that he didn't often do such actions before.

However, Li Zong still looked very happy, and said in a very cordial tone: "In such a cold weather, let the two of you greet this king here, this king is really a little unhappy." The world is a little colder, but don't freeze your body. ”

"Come, bring the gift prepared by the king!"

With Li Zong's words, the eunuch behind him brought up the prepared gifts and sent them directly to Sun Chengzong and Wei Chao.

Li Zong said directly: "A little thing, don't dislike it, please accept it." There is a mink fur made by our best mink master in North Korea, which can be accepted by the two of them to keep out the cold. ”

This time when he came to Daming, Li Zong prepared a lot of gifts.

In addition to gifts to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, more were given to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Li Zong came to the Ming Dynasty this time, not just to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this is something to talk about.

Since the Ming Dynasty gained a firm foothold in Liaodong, the trade between the two sides in recent years can be said to be very, very much. How much money Daming made from North Korea, this Li Zong didn't know, but he knew that he must have made a lot of money.

Therefore, Li Zong wanted to sell some things from North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and this matter should be discussed with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, someone in the court has already proposed that if Daming continues to make North Korea's money, North Korea will not be able to hold on one day.

In fact, since the merchants of the Ming Dynasty opened this floodgate, they have been doing a lot of dumping business, and they can sell everything at a very cheap price.

It doesn't matter what price you pay in North Korea, I'm cheaper than you. Running out with a hard price directly almost destroyed North Korea's small-scale peasant economy.

North Korea's self-sufficiency model is no longer viable, and if it continues like this, North Korea feels that it is going to be doomed.

So Li Zong came to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to cry poor this time, so he brought so many gifts, ready to give them to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his close courtiers, so that they could help.

The gift was delivered, but Wei Chao didn't dare to take it.

He turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong, the meaning was obvious, let Sun Chengzong refuse, and then he refused by the way.

What Wei Chao didn't expect was that Sun Chengzong actually accepted the gift unceremoniously.

Glancing at the fine mink fur, Sun Chengzong's face blossomed, he nodded with satisfaction, and said to Li Zong: "Good thing!" Thank you for the king's reward, but I will be disrespectful. ”

In addition to the mink fur, there was a small box next to it, which must have been gold, silver, jewelry, or something.

Sun Chengzong didn't look at it, and directly asked his subordinates around him to take it over.

Wei Chao was a little embarrassed for a while, so he could only take the things away, thinking in his heart how to explain to the emperor when he went back.

"In that case, my lord, let's go into the city." Sun Chengzong had a smile on his face, and his tone was very polite, and he was more enthusiastic than just now.

"Come with you." Li Zong seemed to be suddenly interested, and said with a smile: "I came all the way, and I want to find a city in the Ming Dynasty to have a look." But I was in a hurry to see Your Majesty, and I didn't dare to delay, and I never had a chance. Now that you're here, there's a chance. ”

"I wonder if the two of you can take a walk with this king and introduce the Ming Dynasty to this king?"

After hearing this, the look on Sun Chengzong's face remained unchanged at all, but he understood in his heart that this king of North Korea didn't want to see any city.

What's there to see about a place like Shanhaiguan? Do you want to see this kind of heroism?

They didn't dare to call again. It's nothing more than wanting to get close to yourself and ask something.

After all, this thing has just been sent out, and striking while the iron is hot is the best choice. If you go back and go to find someone, you will accept this thing, this enthusiasm is cold, you ask people to ask questions, what else will people tell you?

"Absolutely." Sun Chengzong said enthusiastically: "As long as the king wants to, there is naturally no problem." ”

The group began to wander into the city.

At the beginning, it was naturally some polite words, Li Zong praised Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong was modest next to him, and Wei Chao was checking and filling in the gaps; Park Zhenghong, who was beside Li Zong, also asked questions from time to time, looking diligent and inquisitive.

The two sides also chatted enthusiastically.

After crossing the two streets, Li Zong shifted the topic to the main topic.

"Lord Sun, why are there so many Mongolians on this street? Looks very deferential. Li Zong looked around and asked with some confusion, but his tone was very casual.

"It's nothing, they're all here to see Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong said as a matter of course, as if this was a normal situation at all, and he didn't have any pride at all.

He seemed to be saying, I'm used to it. There was also a little boredom in his tone, as if to say, it's too annoying for these people.

This attitude surprised Li Zong, and even Park Zhenghong, who was next to Li Zong, was a little surprised.

They did see that the Mongols were very polite, and there was no intention of showing off their might at all.

This is not right, didn't I hear that the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been at war before? And say that the Mongols are unruly?

These Mongols are allies of Huang Taiji, how did they become like this now?

Although North Korea knows Daming very well, there are some things and things inside Daming that they still don't know, and no one tells them. In such a situation, they are inevitably a little confused.

Sun Chengzong naturally wouldn't explain to them. If you don't know, forget it, it's unfathomable, just right.

"There is a war ahead, and I believe that news will come in a short time. At that time, His Majesty will summon these people, after all, after the defeat of Huang Taiji, the situation here will be clear and clear, and many things need to be discussed again. Sun Chengzong added next to him.

After hearing this, Li Zong's expression became serious.

Obviously, the Ming Dynasty wants to teach the Mongols a lesson this time, and they are becoming more and more powerful.

And is there a war ahead? Why didn't you feel it at all?

There is no tension of war here, look at the lively bazaars, the flow of people coming and going, is this a war?

You know, it's not that far from the battlefield.

In fact, the war really didn't affect these people, most of them were Mongols and merchants.

After Zhu Youxiao arrived here, it has become lively and prosperous, and it can be said that it is full of people.

Those merchants have obvious confidence in the army of the Ming Dynasty, they are here to pick up the bargains, and they are excited, how can they feel the atmosphere of war?

"It seems that this battle is going well." Li Zong said with a smile on the side.

"Huang Taiji is just a native chicken and a dog, and he is a man who sells his head, and there will be no gold country after this war. These people just tossed and tossed when Da Ming was not paying attention, and now that Da Ming has come to his senses, there is naturally no room for them to make trouble. Sun Chengzong said as a matter of course.

Park Zhenghong on the side was a little unconvinced.

A few years ago, Daming was not so good, at that time, Daming seemed to be in Liaodong to be very troubled, and his side was at a loss, why did it suddenly become like this?

Park Zhenghong didn't understand a little, but he didn't feel like the person in front of him was acting.

Still, he wasn't convinced, and was ready to go back and take a look.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves and human voices suddenly sounded outside the city gates.

Then a horse galloped over, waved the flag in his hand, and shouted: "Jianning is a great victory!" General Lu Xiangsheng killed Huang Taiji! ”
