"Nanyuan Mansion Monarch, the envoy of the military rations case is asking you, I must let the people know the grace of my great tomorrow." Looking at the high-spirited Huang Xi, Li Yuntian pondered for a while, smiled and sent a congratulatory gift, preparing to hand over the authority to investigate the military rations case to Huang Xi.

I have to say that it is a clever move for the king of Korea to put Huang Xi on the throne of leading the government, once Li Yuntian wants to make a big deal about the military rations, then Huang Xi will naturally not be spared, and the current leader of the Korean state will also be responsible at that time, and the king of North Korea will definitely make Huang Xi responsible.

The reason is very simple, if Li Ji is taken by Li Yuntian, then no one in the court of the Korean State will be able to contain Huang Xi, this is definitely not a scene that the King of Korea wants to see, so he removed Li Ji at the first time, although Li Ji lost his position as the prime minister, but he is still the left minister of the Korean State can still restrain Huang Xi in the council hall.

If Li Ji was removed from office by the king of Joseon only when Li Yuntian began to investigate the military rations case with great fanfare, then Li Yuntian would be able to take Li Ji down and use Li Ji as the scapegoat.

Now that Li Ji has become a leftist politician, Li Yuntian will not be able to attack Li Ji, after all, Li Ji has not taken over as the leader of the council for a few days, and there is Huang Xi, the new leader of the council, Li Yuntian can't bypass Huang Xi if he wants to take Li Ji.

Obviously, Huang Xi was the leader of the pro-Ming family among the two classes of nobles in the Joseon State, and it was impossible for Li Yuntian to punish Huang Xi, so Li Ji was saved.

In Li Yuntian's view, the reaction of the king of Joseon on the military rations case did not disappoint him, and a move to retreat made Li Ji out of the cusp of the military rations case, and such an opponent was interesting to compete.

If it weren't for the tight war situation in Liaodong, Li Yuntian really wanted to stay and use the military ration case as an opportunity to fight with the king of Joseon, and it would not be easy to meet a powerful opponent like the king of Joseon.

Now that the king of Joseon has successfully resolved his current disadvantage in the military rations case, Li Yuntian also pushed the boat to give Huang Xi a favor, so that Huang Xi could eradicate dissidents and enhance his strength through the military rations case.

"Your Excellency, Thank You, Your Excellency!" Huang Xi was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, but he didn't expect Li Yuntian to hand over the power to thoroughly investigate the military grain case to him, and then he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, "The lower officials will definitely let the people understand the emperor's longen." ”

Now the two classes of magnates in the officialdom of Seoul have made people panic because of the military ration case, God knows if they will be involved, and now that the power to investigate the case has fallen into the hands of Huang Xi, then everyone's hearts can be regarded as calm, although Huang Xi is a political enemy of some people, but at least they can also make friends with each other, which is much easier to deal with than Li Yuntian, a Ming envoy with a tough attitude.

Moreover, the king of Joseon will not sit idly by and watch Hwang Hee wantonly suppress dissidents in the political arena, so everyone will feel at ease.

"Namwon Prefecture, this envoy heard that the Joseon King has stationed heavy troops in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province, but it is to prevent a sneak attack by the remnants of the Northern Yuan?" Li Yuntian saw that Huang Xi called Emperor Xuande "Emperor" instead of "Emperor Majesty", his words revealed a sense of cordiality, and after smiling, his words turned around, and asked seemingly casually.

In order to strengthen his control over the newly seized land in the north, the Joseon king Li Tao set up six towns of Hoeryeong, Wenseong, Jongseong, Gyeongwon, Gyeongheung, and Mosan in Hamgyong Province in the northeast, and set up four counties of Maochang, Luyan, Yurui, and Ciseong in Pyongan Province in the northwest, gathering more than 100,000 troops, all of whom were the elite of the Korean army.

"Exactly." Huang Xi didn't expect Li Yuntian to suddenly mention the strength of the four counties and six towns in the north, and his face couldn't help but show a look of consternation, and then nodded with embarrassment.

"The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are prepared this time, the main force of our army of 500,000 has already marched north with the emperor, and the troops of Gyeonggi cannot be mobilized because they want to defend the Beijing Division, and the envoy is worried that our Liaodong defenders will not be able to resist its offensive before the military pavilion mobilizes troops from the inland to Liaodong, and at that time, in order to avoid the remnants of the Northern Yuan, the troops will not be able to retreat into Hamgyong Road and Pyongan Road, which is simply a great shame for our Liaodong defenders."

Li Yuntian saw that Huang Xi's expression became a little unnatural, and a subtle smile suddenly flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then his face turned pale, and he pretended to be worried and said, "But fortunately, your country has laid down heavy troops in Xianyang Road and Ping'an Road, and I hope that you and my sergeants can defeat the edge of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after joining forces!" ”

Huang Xiyan's face was full of surprise when he heard this, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that Li Yuntian would say such a thing, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty is very good-looking, and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty is even more arrogant, even if the Liaodong defenders are wiped out, they will not retreat to the Korean State to avoid the attack of the remnants of the Northern Yuan, let alone unite with the Korean army to fight against the remnants of the Northern Yuan, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss of the majesty of the Heavenly Empire?

But Li Yuntian ignored Daming's face and said the words that made the Liaodong defenders retreat to Korea, which seemed unbelievable to Huang Xi, made him a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.

The two classes of magnates at the scene were as shocked as Huang Xi and looked at each other, who would have thought that Li Yuntian would say such words that damaged the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, this is an unprecedented thing.

Liu Zhen looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, as a prostitute who has been carefully cultivated since childhood, she is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also understands current affairs in the court, Li Yuntian's previous remarks are obviously extinguishing the breeze of the Ming Dynasty, this is simply incredible to her, is Li Yuntian not afraid of being impeached after returning to the Ming Dynasty?

Li Yuntian quietly glanced at the crowd at the scene, very satisfied with the stunned look on everyone's faces, he just said a few more pertinent truths, although there is a sense of showing weakness to the remnants of the Northern Yuan, but this move will be lost:

He could use this to force the Korean state to participate in the Liaodong war, so as to reduce the pressure on the Ming army in Liaodong, otherwise the Ming army would take advantage of the situation to retreat into the Korean state, and I am afraid that the Korean king would not want to see this happen.

"Come, Nanyuan Mansion Jun, this envoy is pressed for time, and I hope that Nanyuan Mansion Jun will do his best to find out the military ration case, and then this envoy can also rush to Liaodong with peace of mind." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had become a little strange, Li Yuntian smiled slightly and took the lead in breaking the peace on the field, picked up the wine glass and said to Huang Xi, who was a little stunned, with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, the lower officials will do their best and give Lord Liu a satisfactory explanation." Huang Xi came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his wine glass to Li Yuntian, and his heart seemed a little confused, not knowing how to talk about it to the king of Joseon.

Since the king of Joseon succeeded to the throne, he has worked hard to revitalize the Korean state, which has made the military, economic and political development of the Korean state have developed rapidly, so how can he intervene in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and waste troops in vain.

"Then there is Lao Qingshan Mansion Jun." Li Yuntian saw that Huang Xi was quite embarrassed in his heart, so he smiled and touched the wine glass with him, and drank all the white water in the wine glass, he wanted to see how the king of Korea dismantled this time!

The next morning, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Sizheng Hall.

"What, the Ming army wants to retreat into Pyongan and Hamgyong to avoid the Mongol offensive?" When Huang Xi told Li Tao, the king of Joseon, about Li Yuntian's remarks about the war situation in Liaodong last night, Li Tao's face was full of shock, and he never imagined that Li Yuntian would make such an astonishing remark.

At this time, in addition to Huang Xi, there were two classes of important ministers such as Li Ji in the Ideological and Political Palace, and after hearing the words, the people of Li Ji's family and those centrist magnates looked at each other, this matter was beyond their expectations, and the people of Huang Xi's family seemed unfazed, and it was obvious that they had already known about this matter.

"Your Royal Highness, as far as the minister knows, the battle situation in Liaodong is as Lord Liu said, the Mongols have gathered a large number of troops, so that the Ming army has suffered defeats, and it is not impossible to retreat into our country and wait for reinforcements."

Huang Xi had long expected that Li Qi would be shocked, so he bowed to Li Qi and said quietly, "According to the minister's opinion, my country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming army retreats into our country, my country has no reason to refuse." ”

Not long ago, Li Yan had already announced the edict appointing Hwang Hee as the head of the council office, and Hwang Hee is now the out-and-out leader of the Korean state.

"Your Royal Highness, you must not let the Ming army enter our country, if the Ming army enters Pyongan Road or Hamgyong Road, not to mention whether they will harm the place, the Mongols will definitely follow and enter our country to encircle and suppress the Ming army, so that our country will inevitably fall into the flames of war."

As soon as Huang Xi's words fell, Li Ji, who had been demoted to the left of the council hall, stood up and bowed down to Li Ji.

Not only that, Li Ji is also worried about another thing, that is, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, in case the Ming army does not leave after coming to Korea, then the Korean country will not only provide food and grass for the Ming army, but also the security will be threatened by the Ming army, and there is a danger of being annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

Before Li Yuntian came to Seoul, Li Ji was not worried about the Ming annexing Korea, because the Korean State was poor and backward, and it was of no value to the Ming Dynasty, but a drag, so the Ming Dynasty only regarded him as a vassal state with strict control.

However, with the arrival of Li Yuntian, the situation has changed, to be precise, Li Yuntian's thorough investigation of the military ration case made Li Ji vaguely feel that Li Yuntian's background is not simple, and he has an inexplicable fear of him.

Li Ji believes that Li Yuntian will never tell Huang Xi about the withdrawal of troops from Korea at the banquet last night for no reason, perhaps this is a temptation, or a threat.

"Zuo Yizheng, do you have a way to prevent the Ming army from entering our country?" Huang Xi looked at Li Ji lightly when he heard this, of course he knew all the troubles brought about by the Ming army entering the Korean state, but did the Korean state have a reason to refuse? Do you want to watch the Ming army in Liaodong be wiped out by the Mongols?

Hearing this, Li Ji suddenly fell silent, if the Ming army really chose to withdraw into Korea, then Korea would be powerless to resist.

Everyone at the scene whispered and discussed, with a helpless look on their faces, and no one had a way to stop the Ming army from coming to Korea.

"Our national strength is weak and weak, and we can't supply the Ming army at all, so it's better to retreat to Shanhaiguan and retreat to the customs than to retreat into our country." After groaning for a while, Li Ji looked up at Huang Xi, he finally found an excuse.

"Zuo Yizheng, so that there will be no Ming army outside the Guan, do you plan to let those Jurchens of Nuer Gandusi fight against the Mongols who invaded Liaodong? If the relationship between the Ming army and the Jurchens was really so good, Hamgyong Province would still be the world of the Jurchens! Huang Xi suddenly sneered in his heart when he heard this, and retorted methodically.

If the Ming army withdrew to Guannai, the Mongols would be able to concentrate their forces outside the Shanhai Pass, and the withdrawal to Korea would make the Mongols have to fight on two fronts, so the Ming army would definitely choose to go to Korea to disperse the Mongols' forces.

As for the Nuer Gandu Division, although there are more than 100 guards, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the Ming Dynasty can't count on it at all, and the cost and energy of transferring troops from the Nuer Gandu Division is much greater than that of transferring troops from the interior.

Besides, the relationship between the Jurchens of Nuer Gandusi and the Ming Dynasty was not close, otherwise how could they sit back and watch Jianzhou Zuowei be annexed by the Korean State?

"As for the grain and grass, Lord Liu has already said that he will write an urgent report to the capital, mobilize the grain and grass from the port of Tianjin to the port of Pyongyang Prefecture, and hoard the grain and grass in Pyongyang City, which is enough to solve the military needs, and will also be responsible for the grain and grass of our army at that time."

Saying that, Huang Xi coldly told Li Ji something, Li Yuntian had long known that someone would shirk the matter of grain and grass, so he had already thought of a countermeasure, mobilizing grain and grass from the customs would solve the logistical supply of the Ming army plus solving the grain and grass of the Korean state, the Korean general would have no reason to shirk and refuse the entry of the Ming army, nor could he withdraw troops from the border to preserve his strength on the grounds of insufficient military rations.

"How so?" Knowing that Li Yuntian was going to transfer grain from the sea, Li Ji's face was stunned at first, and then his face became ugly, his eyes were full of stunned looks, Li Yuntian's actions were completely beyond his expectations, he always thought that the Ming Dynasty would definitely let the Korean state solve the supply of military rations, and never imagined that Li Yuntian would work tirelessly to transfer grain from the sea.

Everyone at the scene was also stunned by this news, and whispered to each other, no matter what, they never imagined that Li Yuntian would become so generous, and even wrapped up the grain and grass of the Korean army, which was unprecedented.
