Chapter 478: Three Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers

Although Lin Yan didn't know why Ye Yingwu sent a deaf-mute man over, he had to admit that this deaf-mute man was indeed very level, at least he had made most of the officials in the entire Goryeo court side on the side of the Ming Dynasty in just a few months. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is definitely not a simple person who can do this, because Lin Yan was able to get to this position in just a few years, and it was also because of Jin Jun's strength, but in the end, because of Jin Jun's trust and laxity in himself, he overthrew Jin Jun in one fell swoop, and completely received all the political heritage that Jin Jun had worked hard for all his life.

Although Yang Zheng still has a bright man behind him to support him, Lin Yan definitely doesn't dare to underestimate the man in front of him. The power on Gao Liming's face in this man's hands was enough for Lin Yan to throw a rat bogey, not to mention that Lin Yan didn't know how many backhands he had behind his back.

As a person with a backbone in the back of his head, it is impossible for Lin Yan not to think about it comprehensively.

This is the first time that Yang Zheng has taken the initiative to invite Lin Yan to come, if Yang Zheng doesn't invite again, I'm afraid Lin Yan really can't help but come to him first. At that time, Lin Yan was still relieved, thinking that Da Ming finally couldn't help but want to start from Goryeo, but when he came here, he found that Yang Zheng didn't seem to have anything serious to talk about, and finally Lin Yan couldn't sit still, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the tea had become cold again, but it made Lin Yan feel a lot sober:

"It is an honor for Mr. Yang to be invited, I don't know that Mr. Yang has crossed the ocean to this country of the east of the sea, but he has something to ask for."

The entourage next to him quickly gestured to Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng smiled and nodded, and replied unhurriedly. The entourage had obviously been by Yang Zheng's side for a long time, but he only glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "My husband came here this time to save Lin Xianggong from danger. ”

Lin Yan suddenly chuckled: "Could it be that in Mr. Yang's heart, Goryeo is already on the verge of extinction, and a certain Lin Yan has no way out?" You must know that since the restoration of Goryeo, it has been working hard to reorganize its armaments, three thousand miles of mountains and rivers, countless good sons and daughters of Goryeo are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, not to mention that your country is still threatening Mongolia all the time, if you are not mistaken, as long as Mongolia dares to act, presumably your country will not hesitate to send troops, even if Kublai Khan is bold, I am afraid that he will have to weigh it. ”

The attendant gestured quickly, but Yang Zheng really didn't have the slightest emotion on his face, just looked at Lin Yan quietly.

Lin Yan swallowed lightly and spit, when a person is stronger than you, he always remains silent, such a person is the most tricky and difficult to deal with, and Lin Yan looked at Yang Zheng in front of him, feeling that this deaf and dumb person who can't speak is such an existence.

His deafness and mute just gave people a hint of psychological weakness, so that Lin Yan would inevitably face it with discrimination in his heart, and it was Yang Zheng's initiative to send an invitation, so Lin Yan's intention to despise the enemy was naturally even worse. Who would have thought that the man in front of him was definitely not as reckless and easy to deal with as he seemed on the surface.

After being silent for a moment, Lin Yanshen propped up the table with his hands, raised his body slightly, and made a gesture similar to aggressiveness, but everyone present seemed to see through him at this moment. It was only because of the urgent need and nervousness in his heart that he had to cover it up in this way.

Yang Zheng made a few gestures unhurriedly, and his entourage nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Lin Xianggong doesn't know yet, because the Ming Dynasty is now making every effort to open up Hexi and the East, so I'm afraid there is no way to put pressure on Youyan's Mongolian Tartars in a short period of time, not to mention that winter is coming, and the main forces of the Ming Dynasty are still mostly Jianghuai people, so it is not suitable for the Northern Expedition, that is to say, ・・・・・・"

This entourage had obviously been by Yang Zheng's side for a long time, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and every word he said was like a thunderbolt exploding in Lin Yan's heart.

He didn't say the final consequences, but Lin Yan knew very well that once the Ming Dynasty did not move its troops, or even reached some secret agreements or tacit agreements with Mongolia, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would sit back and watch the Mongolia send troops to Goryeo. At that time, Lin Yanke will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

After all, now that the Ming Dynasty needs to recuperate, Mongolia needs to make an example of the monkeys, and Goryeo, which survives between these two behemoths, seems very important, but it may become a victim at any time.

In this way, Yang Zheng said just now that he was saving Lin Yan from danger, and he was really not wrong.

The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, Lin Yan finally didn't have the courage to bring the teacup to his mouth, just put it back and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Mr. Yang, what is the best way to save a certain and also save the mountains and rivers of Goryeo in danger?" ”

Yang Zheng's face, which had been calm, also showed a smile of relief and nodded. And his entourage quickly said according to his gestures: "My husband is here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he is not here to enjoy the scenery." Goryeo was originally the land where Jizi went to the country in the third generation, and it was the Haidong Ping Domain since the Han and Tang Dynasties, so the Ming Dynasty would not sit idly by and watch Goryeo sink under the iron hooves of foreign races. ”

Lin Yan nodded, he knew very well that with the gradual decline of Mongolia, if Goryeo wants to survive, the best way is naturally to attach himself to the Ming Dynasty and continue to be a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the powerful sea and land army is enough to swallow Goryeo at the weakest moment.

If Goryeo still has the possibility of fleeing in all directions in front of the Mongols, then in front of the Ming soldiers, there is only one option: being completely naturalized. After all, Lin Yan, as a superior person, had also heard about the affairs of those countries in Nanyang, and he didn't want his family members to become slaves of others, and he had no place to die.

What's more, in order to maintain its Chinese etiquette, the Celestial Empire will not kill these countries that take refuge, and there are even many supportive policies, such as the Three Buddhas in Nanyang is a good example. Mongolia is different, in the eyes of the Mongols, as long as the land trampled by their horses' hooves can only be Mongolian land. In this way, Lin Yan was able to maintain his position in Goryeo.

Sometimes being a puppet is much more comfortable than dying directly, as a person who has experienced countless political conspiracies and vendettas, Lin Yan naturally understands how precious life is to a person.

"Then dare to ask Mr. Yang, what is Daming going to do?" Lin Yan asked the question he was most concerned about, after all, the Mongolian army was pressing, and Lin Yan knew very well that he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to know Da Ming's attitude and the measures Da Ming wanted to take.

"As long as Lin Xianggong agrees, Lin Xianggong doesn't need to worry about this, and when the time comes, Gaoli only needs to be responsible for cooperating with Daming." Yang Zheng gestured quickly, "Presumably, the strength of the Ming Navy and the main battle army Lin Xianggong is also very clear, now taking advantage of the fact that there is no ice in the two Huaishan Mountains and the sea off Goryeo, the Ming army can freely travel back and forth between Jiaodong and Goryeo." ”

Taking a light breath, Lin Yan knew that there was no way for him to agree at this time, even if he lured the tiger into the room, he had to first eliminate the steppe wolf outside who was ready to tear himself to pieces at any time.

Betting on this, Lin Yan had no choice.

Although it was clear that once the Ming army was allowed to enter, the property and land of Goryeo, and even the entire Goryeo royal power, would no longer be something he could decide, but Lin Yan still asked: "What does Goryeo need to pay for the Celestial Empire?" ”

Yang Zheng suddenly smiled and gestured: "Protecting the security of the vassal state is what the Ming army should do, and when the time comes, only Goryeo needs to provide the money and food needed by the army, which is mainly because the Ming Dynasty's food and salary are not too sufficient, if the troops are forcibly dispatched, I am afraid that it may arouse public anger and dissatisfaction with the soldiers, so Goryeo needs to do it on his behalf, but the Ming Dynasty does not let Goryeo pay in vain, after the pacification of the Northeast, the Ming Dynasty will give Goryeo the same treatment as the three Buddhas, including the training of the army, the development of economy and trade, Adequate support for the dissemination of farming techniques and cultural and educational support. ”

For these conditions put forward by Yang Zheng, Lin Yan's eyelids jumped, in fact, he was not interested in the output of the Ming Dynasty's military, economy and culture, because he knew very well that once the Ming Dynasty's standardized military training and leading economic culture entered the backward Goryeo, then it would set off an unprecedented wave in Goryeo, and the Goryeo people who were in a closed and ignorant situation would understand that the Ming Dynasty had those irrepressible benefits compared to Goryeo, and also because of the input of Ming political and cultural ideas, The whole of Goryeo will be completely tied to the chariot of the Ming Dynasty, and the people will yearn for the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, and even the allegiance will be to the Ming Emperor instead of the King of Goryeo.

At that time, even if the Goryeo royal family wanted to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty and become independent, it was basically impossible, because perhaps the first to stand up against them was the Goryeo people.

This is tantamount to giving up one's country to others, giving oneself to others for so long to work hard, and even making Goryeo completely a part of the Ming Dynasty, and it may directly become a province of the Ming Dynasty at any time. Lin Yan didn't know what kind of admiration or infamy these consequences would bring to him, but he knew very well that once he nodded now, it meant giving up everything except his own life.

"Can you let someone think about it?" The aggressive posture that Lin Yan had barely pretended just now had disappeared, and there was bitterness in his voice.

Yang Zheng showed a sneer, this time he didn't need to say anything more, the entourage beside him had already said lightly: "Is it urgent that Lin Xianggong still plans to delay it again and again?" What's more, even if Lin Xianggong thinks about it, what other way can he come up with? If Lin Xianggong still plans to consult the thoughts of the other officials, then I am afraid that Lin Xianggong will do this too much. ”

Lin Yan gasped, his face turned pale.

This was the last warning given to him by Yang Zheng, and it was also the last warning given to him by Daming, reminding him that he was not the only Lin Yan in the entire Goryeo. If one Lin Yan falls, Da Ming can still find thousands of Lin Yan, and in the end, there will be one who agrees with Da Ming's needs. Yang Zheng's actions in Goryeo for a few months before were not done in vain, basically the officials from the government and the opposition had already stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Lin Yan had vaguely figured out why Yang Zheng was not in a hurry, but took the initiative to invite Lin Yan, because this was Yang Zheng's territory, and even Lin Yan didn't know how many killers Yang Zheng was hiding by his side. In front of the elite killers of the Ming Dynasty, those veterans brought by Lin Yan are probably not opponents, after all, the battles that the two sides have experienced are not at the same level at all.

These elite killers who used to deal with Mongolia are simply a gesture to deal with a Goryeo.

Yang Zheng picked up the teacup, drank the tea, and then turned the teacup upside down, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

Drop the cup?

Lin Yan experienced two conspiracies and calculations in the Goryeo court, and when he saw the teacup upside down, he immediately shivered, and nodded slowly almost subconsciously: "Mr. Yang, just do what the Heavenly Empire says." Up and down Goryeo, all of them greeted the Heavenly Empire, and the kingdom was able to save Goryeo from fire and water. ”

"Sending off guests." Yang Zheng raised his arm and stretched out to the door.

This time, Lin Yan didn't need to follow the translator Lin Yan also understood what this meant, slowly stood up, and walked towards the door slowly. The moment he opened the door, the cold wind howled in his face, making Lin Yan can't help but be smart, I don't know when his back has been soaked with sweat.

And Yang Zheng also stood up slowly, smiled and shook his head.

The three thousand miles of mountains and rivers in Goryeo basically belong to the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Jiaozhou Navy Division and the main army of the Ming Dynasty arrive in Goryeo while the sponge is not yet frozen, the entire Goryeo battle situation is basically decided. In the face of the Ming Dynasty's Zhen Navy stationed in Shandong, even if Mongolia gathers tens of thousands of cavalry, it does not have the courage to provoke, after all, the Zhen Navy is the main force of Ye Yingwu's family, and it has the great military exploits of the Northern Expedition, which is enough to deter this side of the mountains and rivers.

Even in order to cope with the possibility of an offensive from their rear at any time, the Mongols had to send enough troops to keep an eye on the Goryeo border just in case. This invisibly restrained more of Mongolia's troops, and Kublai Khan had to solve Goryeo's worries before solving many matters in Hexi.

"The original pool of stagnant water may be about to come back to life, and I hope nothing goes wrong here." Yang Zheng muttered in his heart.

stepped forward and pushed the half-hidden window open completely, the wind and snow were whistling, and the plum that Yang Zheng had been watching just now bloomed arrogantly in the wind.

Rubbing his hands gently, the previous hypocritical smile on Yang Zheng's face had become extraordinarily warm at this time, this middle-aged man who was isolated from all the sounds of the world seemed to have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world. This proud Hanmei, always makes Yang Zheng want the young man who used to walk alone in Lin'an, the iron stream that rolls forward in the wind and snow, once upon a time, the young man walked into the position of the Ninety-Five, and those soldiers who fought bloodily threw their heads and spilled blood in exchange for the bright sky in the sky.

One by one, they seem to be the plum in this cold wind, still blooming proudly, and finally ushered in spring.

At this moment, Yang Zheng did not regret the choice he made in Lin'an.

These three thousand miles of mountains and rivers, even if he is desperate, he has to get his hands on the Ming Dynasty, not only because the sons and daughters of China have shed countless blood on this land for thousands of years, not just because the Ming Dynasty is now in urgent need of a springboard to directly attack the weak rear of Mongolia, but just for the grand blueprint that the young emperor once weaved for them, for the ethereal but heavy trust that Yang Zheng is grateful for.

"Since Lin Yan has already agreed, then we don't have to move for the time being." Yang Zheng instructed his entourage, "Another 800 miles to rush across the sea to inform the Jiaozhou Navy Division, and dispatch quickly, if you don't come again, I'm afraid that the sea will be frozen, and the front line of the Ming Dynasty to rescue the Hexi crisis may probably be annihilated." ”

The entourage was slightly stunned, and replied to Yang Zheng with some astonishment: "If those who don't move, I'm afraid it will be difficult to really control Lin Yan before the arrival of the Jiaozhou Sailors, Lin Yan was able to stand out in the two chaos, from a nobody to the actual leader of Goryeo, it is definitely not so easy to deal with." ”

"I hope that Lin Yan will be able to make some noise." The warm smile on Yang Zheng's face had dissipated completely, and was replaced by the usual coldness, "In this way, our backhand will be useful, and it will not be in vain to arrange a certain hardship." For Da Ming, this is the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers that serve as the Haidong Ping Domain, and it is far better to hold it in his own hands than in the hands of others. ”

The attendant did not answer, but solemnly bowed his hand.

There was no sound in the room, only the figure of Yang Zheng standing silently.

Just like the proud blooming plum outside the window. (To be continued.) )
