"But ......"

Looking at Song Shilie, the smile on Zhu Mingzhong's face narrowed slightly, and his expression became serious. Looking directly at the other party, he said slowly.

"Now that I have an army of 100,000 in the Ming Dynasty, we have begun to implement the Northern Expedition, and the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is just a matter of day, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

The Celestial Empire's army has begun its Northern Expedition!

Song Shilie looked at King Huai in front of him in surprise, and his eyes were full of surprise. But more than that, it was a surprise, a joy from the heart, that flowed from his face.

The Celestial Empire's army has gone north!

It was the best news he'd heard in years.

"Now that my Ming official army has recovered Henan, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, as well as Shanxi, I can directly take the Beijing division at any time and drive the Manchus out of China,"

In front of Song Shilie, an outsider, of course Zhu Mingzhong would not say how Li Ziyuan was, but only told the other party that the Ming Dynasty had begun the Northern Expedition. And Li Ziyuan's army is also the army of the Ming Dynasty, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.

For North Koreans like Song Shilie, the news they got was only the news of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and as for the inside story, they didn't know and didn't need to know. All you need to know is the good news.

Looking at Song Shilie and the others with joyful faces, Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"But the next army of the Northern Expedition, expelled the Qing captives, North Korea as my Ming vassal, if you do nothing, it is bound to be impossible, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the state of North Korean parents, when North Korea is in trouble, I Ming will not hesitate to overdraft the national strength to help, today parents are in need, how can there be children who can not fulfill the gift of filial piety?"

Zhu Mingzhong did not say what he wanted, but after telling these North Koreans the good news of the Northern Expedition. and directly buckled a big hat on the body of the North Koreans, as far as the heart is concerned, because the South Koreans in later generations let the Chinese eat flies again and again, he did not have much good impression of the North Koreans, but the times are different, the North Korea of this era can be called the "loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty", and such a "loyal dog" is naturally to be used. In particular, it is necessary to take advantage of their willingness to be loyal to the dog and obtain as many benefits as possible. Of course, it is necessary to let the other party take the initiative to give up these benefits he needs as much as possible.

"What the king said is very much, before the ministers came to the Celestial Empire, the king once told the ministers, but where the Celestial Empire is in need, my North Korea will definitely do its best to help, although the DPRK is small, but it will never dare to have a negative Celestial Empire."

Hearing that the Celestial Empire needed North Korea to "fulfill its filial piety", Song Shilie naturally hurriedly said the advice of the king when he came, although he was willing to help both the king and Song Shilie himself for their own reasons, but after all, he needed to take into account the national strength of North Korea.

"However, North Korea is really unable to send troops to help, and I ask the king to be considerate......"

Song Shilie, who was afraid that the King of Huai in front of him would be dissatisfied with this, then hurriedly said.

"However, when the king sends troops to Liaodong, North Korea can follow the old example and send 10,000 people to help the army of the Celestial Empire fight."

North Korea is reluctant to send troops!

It is not that they are unwilling, but their national strength is limited, and when the Qing Dynasty invaded the Kou, they not only killed millions of Koreans, but also plundered hundreds of thousands of Koreans, so that now there are not enough people in North Korea, and in this case, North Korea is naturally unwilling to send troops, or it is said that there are no troops to send.

There are too few people in North Korea, and if they go to war, they will inevitably be killed or wounded. In this regard, the king has already made up his mind, this soldier cannot be sent.

Except for sending troops, everything else is negotiable. Of course, this is the meaning of the king, not Song Shilie's idea, but as an angel of the court, Song Shilie must convey the meaning of the king, and cannot make his own opinions.

"Liaodong ......"

Pondering these two words, Zhu Mingzhong sneered in his heart, he could guess why the Koreans would not send troops until the army arrived in Liaodong, although during the "Bingzi Rebellion", the whole Korean family had always had the belief that the Ming Dynasty was waiting for salvation, and even planned to destroy the country and did not surrender to the Manchurians. He would rather perish than turn his back on China, and after being defeated and forced to surrender, even if he was "in the camp and in the Han Dynasty", the Joseon king still carried a heavy sense of pressure on his own psychological sense of moral self-discipline. Historically, in the history of Qing Dynasty exchanges, North Korea had a very ambiguous attitude in dealing with the Zhengshuo issue - on the surface, it used the Qing Dynasty era name, but secretly followed the Chongzhen and Yongli years. Even after the death of the king of Joseon, he refused to use the nickname given by the Qing emperor. This may be the "loyalty" of North Korea.

However, reality is always reality, morality eventually gives way to reality, maybe the king of Injo whenever "talk to the emperor, as for the whimper can not speak", but the reality of North Korea is now that they are unwilling to "win the big country", that is, the Manchu Qing, so they can only bear the pain of the emperor, but if the Ming army appears in Liaodong, they will immediately "all to the emperor", this is the means of survival of a small country, and Zhu Mingzhong, who has seen too many small countries in the cracks of big countries in later generations, is naturally very clear, but clearIt doesn't mean that he agrees, and what he needs now is to increase the guilt of the whole of North Korea.

"Renchen rebellion, I Ming to save Erbang, can be said to be pouring out the national strength and doing it, Chongzhen ten years, "Bingzi rebellion", although I Ming internal and external difficulties, Wen Erbang for the Qing capture into the Kou, the emperor also sent Dengzhou general soldiers to ask for help Erbang, but unfortunately when my great soldiers arrived, Erbang has been cleared, cut off with my Ming Dynasty, such a trip of grace, how to face the world after the world? ”

This series of questioning made Song Shilie suddenly feel embarrassed, this is precisely the predicament of the North Koreans, they are all burdened with heavy moral pressure, and this pressure is precisely in the emperor's grace to his reconstruction, compared to the emperor's dedication to North Korea, North Korea has severed the suzerainty relationship with the emperor.

"The king, when the "Bingzi rebellion", the small state was forced to surrender to the Qing, it was helpless, however, the small state from the king to the people, all of them are in the emperor's mind, since the 12th year of Chongzhen, the first king set up a tablet in the palace, and cried to the Central Plains in the west to worship the Ming Dynasty, in order to express the pain of breaking away from the Ming Dynasty's vassals, and the heart of the small state fist Muhua can be expressed ...... the sun and the moon."

Although it is said that North Korea is loyal to the emperor, Song Shilie knows how pale and powerless all this is compared to the "grace of reconstruction" of the Ming Dynasty in Korea, and the "betrayal" of the emperor is also a fact, and even after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army was also sent to help the Qing army fight against the Ming army.

When Song Shilie first expressed his loyalty, and then told Xiaobang's helplessness, Zhu Mingzhong waved his hand, and then said.

"There is no need to mention these old things today, and it is indeed a last resort for the DPRK to clear up the matter in the future, and after today, the DPRK must do its right thing to inform the world and future generations."

For Zhu Mingzhong, what he needs is to aggravate the guilt of North Korea, and he needs to make it clear to the whole North that they owe Da Ming, and they will never pay back this debt.

"Since the "Rebellion", North Korea can be described as "suffering for a long time", I am a state of parents, and I can't bear to see my children fall into captivity, so ......"

Staring at Song Shilie, Zhu Mingzhong said slowly.

"Therefore, Gu has decided to send a sailor to help North Korea get rid of the captives and return North Korea to its mother state!"

What sent sailors to help Korea get rid of the captives and return Korea to its mother state. But it's just an excuse, the real reason is to use North Korea as a springboard to attack Liaodong, which is Zhu Mingzhong's purpose.

Even if you don't know much about the history of the Qing Dynasty, through the "braid play" of later generations, most Chinese people know that after Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will usher in those emperors, maybe Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong's so-called prosperous era, but it is just a prosperous era of "eating bran and drinking thin", but these three people can also be regarded as Ming Jun, at least for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are indeed Ming Jun. And they ruled the Manchu Qing for nearly 140 years, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Mingzhong did not want to see the Manchus flee back to Liaodong safely.

In any case, the Manchus could not be allowed to flee back to Liaodong. Once the Manchus fled back to Liaodong, in the next 140 years, the Manchus are likely to continue to threaten China's northern borders, and may even enter the customs again, no one can control it in the future, perhaps, after the Manchus entered the customs, they rejected firearms, but under the pressure of war, they will choose firearms, and even at any cost, at that time, China is likely to face no longer the historical Manchus, and may even be another Russia or a firearms Manchu.

Maybe by that time it would be necessary to face the Manchus. Oh it will be a Manchu Qing with a large number of artillery, muskets, and even warships, Zhu Mingzhong has never doubted this, even those descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family know about the foreign gun team. Not to mention their so-called Holy Ancestor?

If that Kangxi had trained the foreign gun team and operated the navy, what would history have become? In what direction will it develop in the future?

Who knows?.

One hundred and forty years!

There are so many variables that can happen, and no one knows what will happen in the next 140 years, but what is certain is that these variables are bad for the Ming Dynasty and bad for China. And even if there are no variables, just in the face of Zhu Mingzhong's view of the world, the Northeast is also an area that must be recovered.

For Zhu Mingzhong, any variables are not something he will accept, and it is precisely because of this that he chose Liaodong and chose to give them the most fatal blow directly on the real life gate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Fundamentally and completely interrupt the possibility of the Manchu Qing rising again. 140 years...... It was just a Manchu dream. As long as Liaodong is captured, then the Manchus will no longer have any possibility of rising! Even if they get away with it, they will become a bunch of lost dogs. And it is impossible to pose a threat to China again, all that is needed is to keep chasing them, driving them to the ends of the earth, driving them to the wilderness of the Siberian Arctic Circle, and then letting them disappear into the harsh environment.

So, no matter what, Liaodong must be recovered! Liaodong must be recovered before the Manchus flee back to Liaodong! Only in this way can the world be re-settled and the people of the world can live a peaceful life again.

"Returning North Korea to its mother state?"

Looking at the king in surprise, Song Shilie's face was full of puzzlement, but Cui Mingyi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly thought of the hundreds of huge ships he saw in Yuzhou, and when he was connected to the original King of Yanping from the sea into the Yangtze River Northern Expedition, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked urgently.

"Could it be that the king intends to send the sailor to send the Lu division into Korea, and then pretend to use Korea to recover Liaodong?"

Cui Mingyi's answer made Zhu Mingzhong look at this fourth-grade civil official of North Korea with some surprise, he is the same sect of Cui Muhua, it is really rare for this person to see this.

"Ahh

After Cui Mingyi's reminder, Song Shilie immediately said excitedly.

"The king's plan is very good, this plan is very good, not only can save the small state from the hands of the captive, and rebuild the small state, but also can take advantage of the emptiness of Liaodong to seize Liaodong and cut off its back road, so that the world can be pacified......"

Before the words fell, Song Shilie's sudden and excited tears rained down.

"In the middle of the Emperor's Northern Expedition, the king still does not look at the small state, which really makes the minister ashamed, the emperor treats the small state to rebuild like this, if the small state can't help the emperor, so, how can it be relied on in future generations......"

Song Shilie, who looked grateful, said even more excitedly after saying this.

"Great King, when the Heavenly Army arrives in Xiaobang, Xiaobang can help with millions of stones of rice and grain, and when Xiaochen returns to Korea, inform the king of this good news, and the king will definitely send troops to help......"

If it weren't for Zhu Mingzhong's words about borrowing North Korea, Song Shilie would only follow the instructions of the former king and offer to help rice and grain with millions of stones, as for any reinforcements and the like, he would never say it, after all, the Celestial Empire is too far away and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too close, but now, when he heard that the Northern Expedition of the Explanation Army would crusade against Liaodong at the same time, he naturally had no other scruples.

As long as the Ming Dynasty can seize Liaodong, then what is the use of the Manchus to be afraid? Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just a lost dog, and whether he could return to Liaodong alive was only a matter of five or five.

There is nothing to be afraid of in the Manchus!

Of course, that's because Huang Ming is here!

Seeing that Song Shilie, Cui Mingyi and others were like being protected by Daming's godfather after getting their words, and they couldn't wait to help the country, Zhu Mingzhong sneered, but said with a kind expression.

"With such a pure heart, how can Lone bear to refuse?"

Millions of stone grain!

Not to mention, North Korea is really generous enough, Huang Taiji plundered 500,000 people in North Korea as slaves, but in exchange for the annual tribute of rice and grain, 10,000 bags of rice, as for what 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, etc., Zhu Mingzhong can't look down on it at all, compared to others, this million stone grain, but the real goods, after all, whether it is the army's northern expedition to Liaodong or the future immigration to Liaodong, a large amount of food is needed, with this million stone grain as the bottom, at least it can ensure that the army's military food is not worried.

In fact, even if Song Shilie didn't take the initiative to give, Zhu Mingzhong would ask for it, although he took the initiative to give food now, but what he should ask for still needs to be asked.

"However, this Northern Expedition has a lot to do with it, so I want to borrow something from North Korea, I don't know if it's possible?"
