Earlier, these would-be robbers were only wandering around the border between the two countries, and they did not make any big noise, and for the sake of the peace of the two countries, the ranch unit only ordered to keep an eye on the border and not to provoke trouble.
However, as if they saw that the Ming monarch had no next move against them, they kicked their noses and faces, and raided a village on the border in the middle of the night.
Not only did they burn down the village, causing many casualties, but they also wantonly plundered the livestock, grain and grass here, and most excessively, they took away all the women in the village, including the little girls, and when the officers and soldiers at the border found out, these would-be pirates had already evacuated their territory.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to make their own decisions, but quickly reported what happened to the imperial court.
Mu Changgu was very worried when he learned about this, but he couldn't send troops easily.
These would-be robbers did nothing more than deliberately provoke trouble, wanting Mu Changgu to send troops to fight them, they must have made preparations if they dared to do so, and the villagers near the border who were hurt the most after the war, they had already lived on the border, and the drought in the past few years has also made their lives more miserable, so Mu Changgu can't send troops to fight so easily.
But if these Japanese invaders take the initiative to start a war, Mu Changgu will definitely send the best soldiers and generals to pacify these Japanese invaders, so that the people will be in dire straits as little as possible.
However, these would-be robbers did not attack, but did their best to make people angry, but not to fight hard.
In the past few days, there have been reports every day, and in the middle of this morning, I only heard from outside the hall: "Report!" ”
The bead curtain fell, covering his face, so that people could not see Mu Changgu's expression at this time, but everyone knew that this monarch must be in a very unhappy mood at this time, and the minister who was playing just now also held his breath and did not say another word.
The ministers in the palace also bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for the attendant who was about to report something important to come in.
I saw the waiter running in with small steps, and when he reached the center of the hall, he threw himself down and knelt down.
Mu Changgu sighed and said in a low voice, "Is there bad news at the border again?" ”
The waiter raised his head in embarrassment: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
Mu Changgu waved his sleeves lightly: "Let's talk about it, what did those thieves do?" ”
The waiter hurriedly said: "Yesterday, these thieves broke into a village again, although they did not hurt our people this time, but they disturbed people's hearts, everyone did not dare to sleep at night, and many people dragged their families to our military camp on the border in order to avoid these widows, and many people scolded us for the incompetence of the imperial court and the inability to protect them, and many of our soldiers were injured by these people......
"Your Majesty!" A respected official couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and knelt beside the waiter.
Mu Changgu looked at the official: "Uncle Li, what do you want to say." ”
"Alas, Your Majesty still doesn't forget to call me Uncle Li...... "This minister Wang is a respected old minister, when Mu Changgu's father was there, it has always been this Minister Li who supported him left and right, and when he was in the Ming Dynasty, this Minister Li also had a lot of credit, and after Mu Changgu took the position, this Minister Li also followed Mu Changgu loyally, so Mu Changgu has always respected this minister as Uncle Li.
Mu Changgu smiled: "Uncle Li, are you angry with me, half of the credit for this Ming Dynasty is yours, and you are my elder, so I should call you Uncle Li." ”
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to be angry with you, I just feel sorry for these people on the border." Minister Li never glanced at Mu Changgu, his brows furrowed.
Mu Changgu asked, "Uncle Li, do you also want to start a war with those would-be robbers?" ”
The continuous reports in the past few days have made the ministers of the DPRK very uneasy, and Mu Changgu has not taken some effective measures against this matter, but has greatly increased the morale of the Japanese pirates on the border, and their bad behavior has become more and more intense.
It is not surprising that some of its officials think so, because if they lose after the war, it will inevitably be like the Japanese to pay a large amount of compensation, and the ranch unit will never get these compensation from the hands of the people, but will definitely let the officials make up these compensations, which is that the officials who love money like their lives are often a dime, and they do not want to shed a penny from their hands, so they would rather go to war than wait for the Japanese to take the initiative to attack.
And the other part of the officials do not think like this, what they think about is completely the safety of the people, they think the same as the ranch stock, they also want to be able to go without war, everything is subject to the interests of the people, if it really reaches the point where they have to go to war, then they will definitely do their best to protect the Ming Dynasty to protect the people, repel the Japanese invaders, even if they take their own lives is not a pity.
And Minister Lee is the person of this second part.
Minister Li shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I Li don't want to go to war, after all, I still remember the war for decades, at that time it was really difficult for the people to make a living, and the lives were ruined, although we finally won, but behind this victory is the blood of the people and soldiers, I really don't want such a tragedy to happen again, I think Your Majesty and I think the same."
But these Japanese robbers have repeatedly challenged our bottom line, Your Majesty, you have also heard, now the people have begun to distrust our court, and they have even fought with those soldiers on the border, Your Majesty has ever thought about what they are for?
It is stability.
However, these are not stable now, and the imperial court has not made any measures and actions for a long time, which will inevitably make these people suspicious, and what we need to do now is to dispel their doubts, and return them to a stable place, and you will return a stable one to us. ”
The ranch nodded approvingly: "Uncle Li, do you have a good way?" ”
Minister Li stood up and said, "Since the Japanese invaders harass us in many ways, why don't we also learn from them and let them experience this kind of pain that cannot be scratched?" ”
Mu Changgu was slightly surprised: "Go on, tell me the method you came up with." ”
