Chapter 675: Must Move South
The March sea breeze is like a spike with ice, which can penetrate deep into the marrow of people.
Ye Xun's internal skills are exquisite, even if he is wearing a single dress, he can't feel the cold at all.
Sun Chengzong is not good, although Liaodong is also cold, but the cold in the inland area is obviously different from the cold on the seaside.
Sun Chengzong knew that Ye Xun was going back to Beijing, but he didn't understand why he called himself to the beach, and what could not be said in a warm room?
"Brother Sun, look at this sea, in fact, the sea is the same as the land, it is the land of my Ming Dynasty, and the sea contains endless treasures, waiting for us to develop"
Sun Chengzong is also a Han supremacist, but he still doesn't quite understand why Ye Xun suddenly said such a thing.
tightened the fur on his body, and said with a wry smile: "Father-in-law! If you have anything to say, just say it! You're not afraid of the cold, I can't stand it anymore."
The two can be regarded as having a good relationship, otherwise Sun Chengzong would not complain in front of Shangguan even if he was afraid of the cold.
Ye Xun smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I plan to leave tomorrow, after I leave, you have to remember to impeach me on the table."
Sun Chengzong was startled and blurted out, "Why is this?" Everything my father-in-law did was for my Da Ming, and Da Ming can have today's achievements, my father-in-law has made great contributions, for your request, please forgive the lower officials for not being able to obey their orders"
Ye Xun knew that Sun Chengzong was a sincere person, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
Turning his head, he looked at Sun Chengzong fixedly, and said: "Your Majesty grows up day by day, and I will eventually come to an end like many powerful ministers, if you don't draw a clear line with me, you will eventually be tired by me."
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, in fact, this is a conceivable ending, but the emperor is too young, and Ye Xun is in full swing, so that many people ignore the fact that Ye Xun is just a powerful minister after all.
recalled that when he first entered North Korea, the little emperor went out of Beijing with Ye Xun, and then was robbed back by Fang Zhenru and them on the bank of the Yalu River.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Things may not be as bad as my father-in-law thinks, my father-in-law has made great contributions to the court, and nine times out of ten the generals in the army are from my father-in-law's account, even if Your Majesty grows up in the future, I will not easily treat my father-in-law like this, it is really not good, my father-in-law will retreat bravely."
"Huh! Brother Sun, you and my brother, you don't have to test me, tell you again today, no matter at any time, I will not betray the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty today was created by me, and I will never allow anyone to destroy him"
Ye Xun is right, this is what Sun Chengzong is most worried about, the students nominally taught by the Imperial University are protégés of the Son of Heaven, but everyone knows that the real president of the Imperial University is Ye Xun.
Nowadays, the students of the Imperial University have spread all over the corner of Daming, and if Ye Xun really has any objections, it will definitely cause unprecedented disasters to Daming.
Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong bowed to Ye Xun deeply, and then got up and said: "No matter what, Sun will never do anything that violates his conscience, and Sun Mou is doing right and walking properly, if His Majesty cleanses me in the future, then let him come."
Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Ye Xun's brows couldn't help frowning, why is this guy so brainless? Only by keeping himself can the policy in the direction of Liaodong and even North Korea be successfully continued, if it is replaced by another person, with the pedantry of those old masters in the DPRK and China, maybe the DPRK will have to be returned to the North Koreans that day!
snorted coldly and said: "If you don't impeach me, I'm going to impeach you, in short, you have to break with me"
Sun Chengzong was angry, how could this Ye Gonggong be like a child? And I lost my temper.
Just as he wanted to open his mouth to tease Ye Xun, a shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Father-in-law, the British East India Company asks to see you"
Hearing the shouts of the guards, Ye Xun's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said in his heart, why did these guys find here?
Two years ago, Tian Siqing led a fleet to have a skirmish with the East India Company in Luzon, but after learning the terrifying strength of the Ming fleet, the East India Company became much more honest, and its forces never crossed Luzon, but I don't know why it came today.
After a deep sigh, he said: "I'll go to meet the British, Brother Sun will go to General Cao in a while, and ask him to hold an artillery exercise outside Seoul tomorrow morning."
Ye Xun knew that the British East India Company was actually the initiator of the British Empire, and he didn't need to look for himself in business, and since he found himself, it was likely that he still had some kind of political purpose.
But no matter what their purpose is, the navy has seen it, and let them see the power of the Ming Army, at least let the British know not to think about taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty.
It has to be said that Ye Xun's hunch is still relatively accurate, because the eyes of the British have been eyed at the Mughal Empire.
Previously, Bashik had hoped that Ye Xun would send troops to jointly strike the final blow at Sha Jahan, but Ye Xun did not agree to him, although he was an old man, Ye Xun did not want the country around Daming to be too strong, so Sha Jahan is still insisting.
Not only that, but Shah Jahan also colluded with the British in an attempt to kill Bashik by the hands of the British.
It's just that the British are not so easy to fool, and the intelligence work is also very good, and it was even investigated that Bashik's aunt is the first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for the strength of the Ming fleet, there would not be this visit, so no matter what time it is, strength is the first.
The mission sent by the East India Company this time was very large, and after meeting Ye Xun, he also planned to go to the capital of Daming to take a look.
In fact, such a mission is not so much a visit as a research, because only when they truly understand their opponents will they make corresponding countermeasures.
The head of the mission was Brigadier General William, the deputy of the British Viceroy in India, an arrogant British aristocrat.
As soon as he set foot on the land of Korea, Brigadier General William couldn't help but be disappointed, saying that the people were like Hanako, and they dared to call themselves the eastern powers, what was the difference between them and those indigenous countries that they had occupied before?
Seoul had been plagued by the Jurchens before, and although it had begun to be rebuilt, it could not be completed in a short time, so Brigadier General William mistakenly thought that the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that.
The only thing that left an impression on William and his entourage was the Ming soldiers, whose tall posture and knife-like eyes all told the British, honestly, don't be shy...
Ye Xun was a guest of William and his entourage who met in the Korean Palace, and although Ye Xun was not a master of physiognomy, he analyzed William's character from the first glance.
White body pants, crimson tuxedo, like a proud peacock, with a wavy wig on his head, and his chin raised high, as if he was afraid that others would not see his big nostrils.
"How is King James doing? The last time I saw him, I was in Scotland, and I heard that he had conquered England as well, which was very good, and it was not in vain that my father taught him once."
It was a real British, so Ye Xun also spoke in an authentic London accent...
