The Korean envoy Hong Yihan set out from Inchon to Iokdo by boat, and along the way he saw the mighty fleet of sailors of the Broken Army, which rode the wind and waves on the sea, and was deeply shocked by the invincible momentum of all the ships he encountered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time has deeply strengthened its pro-Ming stance, and the Ming Dynasty is indispensable if North Korea wants to maintain its survival between the Hulu in the north and the Japanese in the south.

Or the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of North Korea's stable existence, if there is no Ming Dynasty, North Korea will either surrender to the Hulu or be destroyed by the Japanese Invaders, there is no other way out, this has been proved for a hundred years, without him, the small country and widowed North Korea is powerless to fight against the fierce tigers and leopards.

Although surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is also a kind of subordination, the Ming Dynasty is just a symbolic tribute, but the rewards are several times as much.

And during the Renchen War, the Ming Dynasty threw millions of taels of silver and more than 100,000 troops to save North Korea from the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, is this what Hu Lu can do, if he surrenders to Hu Lu, not only will Little China lose face, I am afraid that the extorted money and food will be so overwhelming that the Korean people will not breathe.

Hong Yihan finally knew the truth of what Zhao Lie said in Shidao, and Zhao Lie did gather troops to aid the DPRK immediately after receiving the news, which can be said to have been charged with a great crime, and even had a constant quarrel with the Ming Dynasty and the Son of Heaven.

This made Hong Yihan grateful, at this time, in his opinion, the **** silver of 300,000 silver was simply not worth mentioning, compared with the preservation of the face of North Korea and the safety of the royal family, compared with the charges of Zhao Lie that affected the family, these silver coins were really insignificant, and at the same time, they also made him understand what he should say when he went to meet the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty.

On the way to Shuicheng, Hong Yihan showed favor to Zhao Lie in every way, and at the same time repeatedly said that when he met the Son of Heaven, he would definitely send troops to intercede for Zhao Lie's edict.

Zhao Lie smiled and accepted them one by one, and comforted him with kind words, the pro-Ming faction in North Korea must be strongly supported, but there is not much to say about his relationship with the Son of Heaven, and if he sits in Chongzhen's position, he will also do everything possible to suppress the Broken Army and Zhao Lie.

Without him, this is based on the fear of the dictator of losing his power and the tools of violence, which is no exception in ancient and modern times, China and abroad, because to take a step back is to lose the supremacy of the dictatorship in his hands.

When Li Ji slowly approached the dock of Dengzhou Water City, hundreds of steps around him had already been broken and all the armaments were under martial law, and all the idle people were not allowed to approach, even Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan's guards could not approach.

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were already waiting at the wharf, and he had already received a report from Lan Mingshan in Shuicheng the day before yesterday that Zhao Lie, the envoy and general soldier of the Korean state, would arrive in Shuicheng today.

The meaning is obvious, that is, if you want to meet, go to Watertown.

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were depressed and breathless, but they also got Shuicheng to greet the subordinate Zhao Lie, and there was no way for anyone to let the North Korean envoys come on the same boat, but they knew how much the Son of Heaven valued North Korea.

The last two times to make Jin Shangxian and Jin Zidian were personally greeted by local officials along the way, and they were served at a banquet, and they were simply coaxed all the way to Beijing.

If they neglect the Korean season, the Son of Heaven will always be angry, so they can't spoil the affairs of the court and the Son of Heaven because of Zhao Lie's reasons.

The two of them came to Shuicheng early today to greet them, and the Shuicheng guard Lan Mingshan did not let them escort them close to the dock, and they also swallowed their anger, all for the great affairs of the Son of Heaven.

When the thin Hong Yihan was led to the dock by Zhao Lie, the two stepped forward to greet him.

Hong Yihan respectfully greeted the No. 1 and No. 2 officials of Daming Denglai, and he was full of gratitude in his mouth, although he knew that the North Korean tragedy had nothing to do with the two people in front of him, but this was the pattern of exchanges between the two countries.

Since a certain rough black soldier was reluctant to go to Dengzhou City, several people came to the General Military Mansion of Dengzhou Water City under the escort.

After the guards served the fragrant tea, several people talked together, Hong Yihan was going to see His Majesty the Son of Heaven in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the itinerary and even some arrangements after arriving in the capital division had to be determined here.

At this time, it was a matter of discussion between Hong Yihan and the two important ministers of Daming Denglai, and Zhao Lie was a soy sauce player, and he was sitting on the side.

Maybe it was too boring, Zhao Lie was a little sleepy, and kept yawning, which was said to be a bit rude.

Chen Yingyuan's cultivation is very good, and he treats it as if he has nothing, but Zhang Guoyuan can't stand it anymore, and he glances at Zhao Lie a few times.

It's just that Zhao Lie didn't see anything at all, and he was still lazily accompanying him.

It was Hong Yihan who saw the discord between the three of them and took the initiative to change the topic to the objects of Korean tribute.

"This time, the subordinate brought it...

Hong Yihan told Li Liang about the objects that Li Liang presented to the Son of Heaven, which are all special products of North Korea, and they are all common objects that are enshrined in North Korea every time, and it is not surprising.

"Of course, this time, North Korea also paid 300,000 taels of **** silver to the Denglai army."

Hong Yihan said cautiously, this can't help but say, if you don't say it, Li Liang will be furious.

The Li family paid so much gold and silver, it was to make the Son of Heaven appreciate it, how could he pass it silently.

But Hong Yihan knew that he might be worse if he said this, because after he arrived at Shidao, he had already found that Zhao Lie's department was extremely special, and the relationship with the Great Tomorrow was extremely tense.

Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, the two Daming Denglai ministers on the opposite side had already changed color.

"How can such a large sum of silver taels be handed over to the Denglai army, it should be handed over to my Denglai governor for distribution first."

Although Chen Yingyuan said that he was talking to Hong Yihan, he was actually talking to Zhao Lie, and it was not right for you to swallow this silver alone.

Zhang Guoyuan's reaction was much more violent, he immediately got up and took two steps forward and pointed at Zhao Lie and said, "Zhao Lie, this is a tribute from North Korea to the Son of Heaven, how dare you take it." ”

Zhang Guoyuan was simply angry, he was really a little angry and crazy, Zhao Lie, a bastard, dared to swallow the objects of the Son of Heaven, he was really tired and crooked.

"This is what the general asked the king of Joseon for, my Denglai army lost more than 1,000 people in the battle, and several warships were damaged, these losses are huge, even the compensation silver can make the general unable to pay, it can be said that without these silver taels, the Denglai army will have to be separated."

Zhao Lie looked at Zhang Guoyuan coldly,

"Besides, the soldiers who sent troops are not eligible to receive a pension silver tael, so who is still eligible, if the imperial court also takes away this pension silver tael, who else will fight hard for the Ming Dynasty in the future."

The eyes of the two looked at each other fiercely, and the air in the room was extremely suffocating.

Seeing that neither of them wanted to let go, Chen Yingyuan hurriedly diverted the topic, he couldn't let these two people hold on to each other any longer, otherwise one person would tear his face, and Denglai might just shake the ground, and he, the governor of Denglai, would not end well.

"Lord Zhao is too worried, what this official means is to collect the money and then distribute it according to the merits, and every soldier will not be left behind."

"Hehe, the imperial court is still in arrears of 160,000 taels of silver to the Denglai army, I don't know when it will be issued, hmph, if it weren't for the North Korean silver, the Denglai army would probably mutiny."

Zhao Lie looked at the two coldly.

The imperial court owed the Denglai army salaries, one was that the imperial court was indeed in difficulty, and the other was to drag the Denglai army thin and suppress Zhao Lie's momentum.

The two of them know this, but they can't say that, otherwise they will tear their faces.

"Lord Zhao, now the court is also difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is better to ask Lord Zhao to tide over the difficulties with the court."

Chen Yingyuan said with a smile, it's really self-contained.

"The Son of Heaven has repeatedly reduced the consumption in the palace, even the few concubines and their monthly money has been halved, Zhao Lie is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he should also share the worries of the monarch's father, how can he share the income of the imperial court."

Zhang Guoyuan still grabbed 300,000 taels of silver and didn't let go.

"Hehehe," Zhao Lie got up with a long smile, "Who said that Ben General did not share the worries of the monarch's father, Ben General led the army under his command to go south to smash the Japanese State, and forced the General of the Japanese State to surrender the table, go east to Korea, and stop the attempt of Jiannu to force the landing of North Korea, who dares to say that I, Zhao Lie, did not share the worries of the Great Ming, and who dared to say that I Zhao Lie took a mere 300,000 taels of silver for the pension silver." ”

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan immediately had their brains struck, they looked at Zhao Lie like a chicken, and said in their hearts, you Zhao Lie didn't lose his mind, go east to North Korea, this is there.

As for the troops entering the Wa State and forcing the general of the Wa State to surrender the table, you Zhao Lie is talking about Shenma Dongdong, Zhao Lie is not crazy.

Wanli aided the DPRK but spent millions of silver, dispatched more than 100,000 troops to repel the Japanese state, note that it is still in Korea, you Zhao Lie is brave, but more than 10,000 people under his command can defeat the Japanese state, it is simply a fantasy.

"Lord Zhao is not talking nonsense, for the sake of 300,000 taels of silver, Lord Zhao has made too much of the matter of the Japanese Kingdom."

Zhang Guoyuan sneered and pointed at Zhao Lie with his hand, his expression was extremely contemptuous.

Zhao Lie didn't say much at all, he commanded the guards a few times, and the guards went out, and after a while, Zhao Da entered, and he handed a box to Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie handed the box to Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingyuan took it in confusion, he opened it and saw that it was a rolled-up letter.

Chen Yingyuan opened the letter and looked at it, his eyes widened wider and wider, and his hands began to tremble.

Zhang Guoyuan saw Chen Yingyuan's strange appearance, hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and after a few glances, he also opened his eyes and almost stuck to the letter.

"Is this table of demotion real, it won't be that you, Zhao Lie, are looking for someone to fake it?"

Zhang Guoyuan stared at Zhao Lie.

The Japanese script is borrowed from Chinese characters, so many of the words in it can be guessed when you see it, and there is no need to translate it at all.

But Zhang Guoyuan said that he wouldn't believe anything, this is simply impossible, it must be Zhao Lie's lie, it is definitely like this.

"Ahem, cough, cough," Hong Yihan saw that this was not a matter, so he could only interject, "I have a letter from Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Shogunate of the Japanese Kingdom, and compared with this, this letter is indeed written by Tokugawa Iemitsu." ”

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan heard that they were thundered, is this really true, this is not scientific. (To be continued.) )
