When the news of North Korea reached Jingshi, for the sake of safety, it would take both water and land routes, of which it would take 15 days by land and 8 days by water, so when Zhu Yunwen learned the news, it was already March 16.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen had just finished dealing with the affairs in Shandong, and Zhou Xin went to Shandong for disaster relief, with remarkable results, and the disaster gradually subsided, but unfortunately the bandit leader still did not get it, and Hu Hui continued to investigate.

According to Tie Xuan, Zhou Xin, and Jing Qing, as long as the Shandong officials were corrupted, Lin Yuanqi, the prefect of Jinan, Zhao Baohan, the prefect of Qingzhou, and others started to embezzle 150,000 stone of disaster relief grain, and deducted 70,000 stone of subsidies for repairing the river. At the same time, Li Yuchi, the political envoy of Shandong, turned a deaf ear to the following report, and was busy chanting poems all day long, traveling in the mountains and rivers on the pretext of observing the people's feelings, and was guilty of neglecting the government.

These shocking and shocking facts gave Zhu Yunwen a slap in the face, he thought that he was blessed, inherited a strong empire, and had the insight of later generations, he should be handy in doing things, and the people should live and work in peace and contentment.

So Zhu Yunwen sacrificed his last weapon, killing!

Lin Yuanqi, the prefect of Shandong, Zhao Baohan, the prefect of Jinan, Qi Hanzhi, the prefect of Qingzhou, and Liang Shangkuan, the envoy of the procuratorate, were executed on the spot. In the city that was captured by the bandits, the officials were rewarded for the martyrs, and the escapees were executed, which affected the three tribes, starting from here, Zhu Yunwen established a rule, the landless martyrs were rewarded, and the landless escapers were punished, Zhu Yunwen wanted to use this method to ensure that the officials would be careful to govern the place, otherwise the people would change together, and he would only have a dead end, so that for the sake of their and their families' heads, they should be more attentive, Zhu Yunwen thought.

When he first received the news of the chaos in North Korea, Zhu Yunwen was very annoyed, North Korea is a very important link in the entire northern strategy, North Korea is unstable, not only is the strategy of the Japanese country not feasible, the Northeast will face a two-sided attack, so that the Northeast can not be defended, at this moment, Zhu Yunwen deeply understands that in another time and space, why the Ming Dynasty is so good to North Korea, if you want to control the Northeast, then the stability of North Korea is indispensable, or give it land, so that it is afraid of losing, and make friends with itself; Either take everything from it, and beyond that, there is no third way.

The pacification of Korea originated in the third year of Jianwen, and the progress has been relatively smooth, and when it was about to complete its work in one battle, this kind of accident could not help but make the ambitious Zhu Yunwen feel a sense of frustration.

However, he soon recovered, and summoned Guo Ying, Song Sheng, Wu Gao, Xu Huizu, Xuanxin, Zhu Xin, Zhang Rong, Qi Tai and others to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, while Yang Rongshang was still in Shandong to inspect coastal defense and never returned.

After everyone arrived, Xie Jin first read the joint recital of Zhu Rong, Zhang Zhen, Qu Neng and others, the king of Qi, which was sent the day after Li Fang's death, so the content was not much, mainly the results of the on-site investigation and the subsequent response.

According to the investigation at the scene, the fire should have started from Li Fanggan's house, and the fire should have been poured with spirits in the house, which can be inferred from the twenty-three wine jars in the inner courtyard; The number of corpses was forty-two, the same as the number in the inner courtyard; The cause of death of the deceased was killed by a sharp blade, it is speculated that someone should have drugged their wine and food, and then killed them one by one, the murderer may only have one or two people, and the murderer should have committed suicide in the end, it is speculated that the murderer is likely to be Li Fanggan's chamberlain and guard, of which the chamberlain is more likely, there are four chamberlains, named Quan Yong, Jin Xian, Deputy Quan, and Li Du, but who is it is impossible to verify.

As for the murderers, they are none other than the Wa Kingdom, Li Fangyuan, and Mongolia, among which the Wa Kingdom is the most likely, because it benefits the most, but judging from the situation at the scene, Li Fangyuan is the most likely; As for Mongolia, it is also possible, but like the Wa Kingdom, it is difficult to make this case silent.

Of course, this is all speculation, and in the end, Zhang Zhen laughed at himself, if he was an outsider, he would think that it was the hand of Da Ming.

The coping strategy is actually very simple, first of all, the king of Qi cannot continue to go south, and his safety cannot be guaranteed, and secondly, he quickly reports to Sheng Yong, the commander-in-chief of the expedition to the east, and asks him to take precautions or return to Hanjing to preside over the overall situation, and finally send an alarm to Pyongyang, Liaodong, and Beiping to be vigilant against the Mongol raid.

After Xie Jin finished reading, Zhu Yunwen put the fold on the table and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone has already seen the twist and turn of North Korea, how to deal with it?" ”

What Zhu Yunwen didn't expect was that it was Qi Tai who spoke first, and he bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not the top priority to find out who killed Li Fanggan, but to deal with the changes in North Korea after Li Fanggan's death." ”

"What do you think will happen?"

"Now that Li Fanggan is dead, and there are no heirs, then the marquis of North Korea will be severed, so that North Korea has no owner, and officials from all over the country are likely to turn to Li Fangyuan in Gyeongju, and there will even be a rebellion, and together with the rebellion, some ambitious people will fish in troubled waters, and things will be out of control."

Since he raised his army, he defeated the Red Turban Army and the Japanese Invaders, quelled civil strife, implemented the Ketian Law, and distributed land to the poor people, plus Li Fangyuan, it has been nearly 20 years, and the Li family has won the hearts of the Korean people. After Li Fangyuan's rebellion, he fled far away, and my Ming Dynasty relied on Li Fanggan to quickly stabilize Korea. ”

"But now, the minister is worried that there may be changes in Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province, and once they join forces with Li Fangyuan, then Qu Neng of Hankyung and Sheng Yong of Jeolla Province will be divided into two sections, which is quite dangerous."

"Therefore, the minister suggested that troops should be immediately transferred to Korea for reinforcements, and at the same time the navy should be sent to supply the Shengyong Department, but it will be too late."

"Well," Zhu Yunwen nodded: "Very good, what about the others?" ”

Guo Ying glanced at Song Sheng and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what Lord Qi said is very true, it is imperative to reinforce North Korea, but the last general thinks that North Korea is just a moss disease, and it is not difficult to pacify, and the real trouble is Mongolia." ”

"Since the end of February, a small number of Mongolian cavalry have appeared in Kaiping, Daning, and Tongliao, and the Hebei Dusi and Hebei Xingdu have sent reports asking for reinforcements, and the specific strategy has been submitted to the Imperial Palace, and His Majesty has approved it, but now that something has happened in Korea, the last general is worried about whether the previous estimate of Mongolia is biased, and the possibility of the Mongols going south may be greater than estimated."

As soon as Guo Ying's words came out, they immediately aroused a strong reaction from everyone, in fact, everyone felt the same, North Korea should not have too big a problem, but Mongolia is no trivial matter.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said, "What about the opinions of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Quartermasters?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The last general seconded it!"

"Okay, then come up with a strategy to prevent Mongolia as soon as possible, implement it as soon as possible, the military situation is like fire, and it can't be delayed for a day!"

"Yes!"

"Xu Huizu, what about you? Why don't you speak? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general thinks that with our Ming national strength, it is not difficult to resist Mongolia and pacify Korea, but the last general is worried about three, first, whether the Mongols will attack the Northeast, whether the Northeast has enough ability to defend, whether it will interrupt the rhythm of the construction of the Northeast; Second, the General Staff and the Navy Governor's Office have begun to make plans to attack the Japanese state, whether to stop, or whether to amend; Third, Li Fanggan is dead, and the Korean system needs His Majesty to make a decision, whether to find the Lee family or the former Goryeo royal family to succeed to the throne, or simply make it a county? ”

"This ......"
