61 Liaodong and Goryeo
Everyone was satisfied.
Li Guozhong and Yang Mingyang extorted a large sum of money, Jiangnan Province retained its territorial integrity, the inner court suppressed the power of the scholars, and the imperial court also fought against the rebels.
Emperor Zhu Honghua saw that everyone had nothing to say, waved his hand, and was ready to say what he liked to say "retreat from the dynasty".
At this time, a royal herald at the gate hurriedly walked from the gate of the main hall to the court hall and said, "Your Majesty, Goryeo has sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!" β
Oh, Goryeo, another province far away.
I'm not familiar with Goryeo, which has a population of more than 200 million and is located on the Goryeo Peninsula, which is more than 1,000 kilometers along the border with Liaodong Province in the interior.
Despite this, Goryeo is often regarded as an island rather than a peninsula because of the "no-go zone" between Goryeo Province and Liaodong.
This forbidden area is not a forbidden area casually determined by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is different from the forbidden area of Chang'an City, which is a forbidden area for civilians, that forbidden area is a real forbidden area, and whoever goes will die.
If you are bold enough and your brain is good enough, you can sneak into the Chang'an Forbidden Area to play for a few days, and then run back, as long as you don't get caught, you can't die.
And that forbidden zone between Goryeo and the mainland is a real forbidden zone.
The person will die within a few hours of entering, and the cause of death is unknown, and even the imperial doctor can't figure out the reason.
The animals inside are all bizarre, such as a two-headed frog, a wingless pigeon, a mouse bigger than a cat, a six-legged cat, and a flying snake......
It is said that there are many strange-shaped square pillars in it, there are many giant statues with only thighs left next to them, there are many bottomless deep holes in the ground, and there are crystal coffins in the caves, and there are many big fat people in the coffins that have not rotted......
There are often people in Liaodong who risk their lives to climb over the barbed wire fence on the border and spend dozens of minutes catching a two-headed snake or something, which is very valuable.
They sold the monster a silver dollar to Hebei, a gold dollar from Hebei to the Central Plains, and a hundred gold dollars from the Central Plains to Gyeonggi, and Gyeonggi made offerings to the emperor. The minister pointed to a dog with outstretched wings and said, "Your Majesty, this is a unicorn!" Another minister said, "Wow, a unicorn has fallen from heaven, this is a good sign!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! The emperor was delighted and said, "Give me a reward of ten thousand gold dollars!" β
The Goryeo people say that when the god threw a fireball, the first fireball to land was in the northern part of Goryeo, so it was the most terrifying place.
The hillbillies of Goryeo always like to brag, saying all day long that human beings started in Goryeo, and now they even have to rob the apocalypse, what a good thing! - I think it should be the first to fall in the Western Desert Province. It's too hot in there, so the fireball must have landed first. Does this need to be asked? These ignorant guys!
But where did that forbidden area come about? I rummaged through the forbidden books of prehistory, and there was no information in them.
Another strange thing about the Koreans is that they speak very differently from the mainland.
They speak very strangely, unlike the other provinces. There are 10,000 counties in the Ming Dynasty, and each county has a dialect, and some of them don't even understand each other.
I guess this is because the imperial courts of all dynasties have restricted the people of the county to the county boundaries, and they are not allowed to leave the county, and those who violate it are executed, so there is no communication, resulting in the development of each county on its own, and each county has its own dialect.
For example, the dialects of the Lingnan and Liaodong people are so similar to those of Gyeonggi that you don't know what they're talking about unless you listen carefully. The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven hate the hillbilly language of the other place the most.
However, the words of the provinces, counties, and counties of the Ming Dynasty are no longer the same, and the words written are exactly the same.
The problem is that the Koreans don't speak the same thing as we do, and they don't write it the same way.
I mean, their pronunciation is very strange, most of them can't understand it, and they can understand a few nouns, such as tomatoes, potatoes, sofas, etc., etc., etc.
The grammatical structure of the two sides is different, for example, our courtship is "I love you", while the Koreans like to say "I love you", and their "I love you" means "I love you".
This reminds me of my "foreign language book", and I can't help but think, maybe Goryeo is also a foreigner?
But how is this possible, because "the shore of the land is not the king's land", how can there be foreign countries in this world?
I guess it's because Goryeo has been blocked for too long.
Goryeo could only travel by sea to any province of the Ming Dynasty, including Liaodong Province, which shares a border of more than 1,000 kilometers with it. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and even wolves can turn into dogs, and it is possible that the languages of both sides will become incommunicative.
But I also thought that if the imperial court wanted to dominate the world, it should let the whole world circulate and communicate together, so that no new races and new languages would be created.
For example, because of the imperial court's household registration policy, exchanges are prohibited in various places, and the current Mongolians and Lingnan people are hardly of the same race.
Mongols have white skin, yellowish hair, more body hair, and taller bodies, apparently to adapt to the cold climate of Mongolia; Lingnan people, on the other hand, have darkened skin, curly hair, body hair, and short stature, apparently to adapt to the hot climate of Lingnan. It's only been tens of thousands of years, if there are a few more tens of thousands of years, I can't imagine what it will be, maybe the Mongols will become all white, and the Lingnan people will become all black!
In addition, their language is different, so what can I do in the future!
On the one hand, the imperial court itself has made the world unified, and on the other hand, it claims to make the world unified, which is really schizophrenic.

I was thinking about all this nonsense, when a guy in a white robe and a top hat ran in, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said, "Your Majesty, make the decision for Goryeo!" β
He spoke in such a strange voice that he couldn't even tell the four tones.
The ministers laughed happily at him.
He continued: "The Liaodong Navy is besieging Goryeo, and we are swearing to resist to the death, begging Your Majesty to call the shots for us!" β
The ministers were all shocked, talking to each other and whispering.
Liaodong Province is also a super province with a population of 600 million, with cavalry, infantry, and even a navy. It is bordered by Mongolia and Liaoxi to the left, and Hebei to the south, and these three provinces are not easy to mess with, so they have to go to Goryeo to the west.
Emperor Zhu Honghua was furious and said: "Goryeo has never caused trouble, what is Liaodong doing?" β
Of course, if you don't cause trouble, others will provoke you, because "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden".
The emperor asked, "Isn't the forbidden navy in charge of the sea?" β
Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court and the commander of the forbidden army, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Central Plains attacked Jiangnan, and the forbidden navy came to the Yangtze River. β
The emperor asked, "Then go back?" β
Liu Xingchao sighed: "There is not much diesel fuel for the forbidden navy, so it can only be parked at the port in Jiangnan Province." Do you know how much diesel fuel is needed to travel upstream from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Xiangyang? I'm getting people to carry diesel from Gyeonggi Province to Gangnam Province right now, do you know how to carry it? Each person carried three barrels of dry food and one barrel of diesel fuel over hundreds of high mountains in Qianzhou Province, and then swam across the Three Gorges Lake before entering the south of the Yangtze River. I guess in about half a year, the forbidden navy will be able to expedition to Liaodong and rescue Goryeo! β
The emperor frowned, and said to the Confucian sect leader Kong Youli, "What about the Shandong Qicheng Navy?" β
Kong Youli scratched his head and said: "Ah, the Shandong Navy can't do it, we have dozens of wooden boats, it's okay to go offshore, and Goryeo is too far away." We are a civilized province and a model province, and we don't use swords and guns, so we don't build a navy much......"
The emperor turned sideways and asked Lu Yuanzhou, the leader of the Jiangnan Party and the head of the Jiangdong Lu family: "Where is your Jinling Navy?" β
Lu Yuanzhou arched his hand and said: "As long as Your Majesty speaks, the Jinling Navy swears allegiance to the death." However, Goryeo was too far away, and most of the Jinling navy was wooden ships, a few were steam ships, and it was just an iron ship. When the time comes, Liaodong will wait for work, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself. β
The Emperor continued to scratch his head and said, "There is no way to do it now. β
The Korean continued to cry.

At this time, Prime Minister Li Guozhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan. β
Everyone looked at him.
The eyes of the Koreans were shining again.
Emperor Zhu Honghua said: "Say it quickly." β
Li Guozhong said: "The emperor can order Liaoxi to immediately send troops to attack Liaodong, so that he can 'encircle Wei and save Zhao'?" The Liaoxi Prefecture Army can also return to attack with the Liaoxi Army. β
The emperor patted the dragon chair and said, "Good idea." β
He began to look for his classmates in the crowd.
Jin Yuguang, the head of the household department, the commander of the Liaoxi Prefecture Army, the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi, the governor of Liaoxi, the Daming concubine, and the emperor's classmate for more than ten years, was staring at the prime minister with murderous eyes at this time.
Jin Yuguang looked at Li Guozhong, but his hand arched to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!" We not only want to 'encircle Wei to save Zhao', but also 'kill two birds with one stone'. Lianghe and Liaodong have long been in collusion, as evidenced by their last attack on Liaoxi together, so I suggest that the Royal Army and the Gyeonggi Army each go out of the pass to attack the Central Plains under their own commanders, and then go north to attack Hebei, while the Imperial Army of Liaoxi attacks Liaodong at the same time. Traitors go against the world, and everyone will be punished! This move will definitely make the rebels unable to care about each other, and this battle will be won! β
The emperor patted the dragon chair again and said, "Good idea! Execute it now! β
The Koreans bowed down to His Majesty many times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice." β

Hey, the Koreans are still too young and naΓ―ve, how can they understand the struggle above the court?
No one in the imperial court wanted to send troops to save them, in fact, it would be good not to fall into the well, and save you? It's so naΓ―ve!
Liaodong sent their entire navy, just a few hundred wooden ships, to Goryeo without stopping.
As soon as the Goryeo people heard that the imperial court wanted to save them, their morale was immediately boosted, and they sent their small army to fight the Liaodong army to the death.
One of them was not strong but occupied a good position, and the other was strong but crossed the sea to fight, so they fought like this.
Liaodong only occupied a few small territories in Goryeo and set up camps, but there was no progress in other than that, just like chicken ribs.
As for the Chang'an court? Haha, I forgot about this a long time ago!
