In the face of the begging and crying of these North Korean envoys.

Zhu Youzhen had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

Standing on the side of North Korea and demanding that Xujiazhuang withdraw its troops, this is unlikely, Xujiazhuang is a person who belongs to the Ming Dynasty after all, and he is 'his own person', how can there be a reason to help outsiders blame his own people.

What's more, the Busa Landscape Master killed and injured the fishermen of Xujiazhuang, he was at fault first, and he didn't have a proper attitude to apologize, and he dared to come over to complain, which was simply deserving to be beaten by Xujiazhuang.

Tomato is free to read

But standing on the side of Xu Jiazhuang, it is also unlikely, attacking the palace and plundering the concubines, this Xu family army is too unscrupulous, and the capital is not far from the sea, in case the relationship between the court and Xu Jiazhuang is stiffened that day, and Xu Jiajun also retaliates like this, is it not even his Zhu Youzhen's life, even his harem concubines, are also in a huge threat?

Therefore, this kind of behavior of Xu Jiazhuang must not be encouraged, and even criticized and blamed, but it cannot be excessive, and it can only be criticized gently, otherwise Xu Jiazhuang will be offended again.

It's just that this obviously won't satisfy the demands of the North Korean envoys, and will only make them let out even more earth-shattering cries and fry your head.

Don't take a position.

As the emperor, Zhu Youzhen chose not to express his position.

As for the ministers and officials of the Ming Dynasty above the court, in fact, most of them supported these Korean envoys in their hearts, but thinking of the Confucianism, who had lost the debate conference and the poetry and songs, made the decision to get along with Xujiazhuang and learn from Xujiazhuang, it was no longer good to be the enemy of Xujiazhuang, so it was wise to stand on the side of Xujiazhuang, at least not to offend.

"Why did Xu Jiajun beat you? Did the Oriental Times read it? You Busa Landscape Master, in the public sea, killed the fishermen of Xujiazhuang for no reason, and also killed the people of our Ming Dynasty, have you compensated for such barbaric acts? Apologized? Have the perpetrators been dealt with? You didn't do anything, you didn't show any sincerity, so you came to complain, as if the Ming side was wrong, isn't this reversing cause and effect? "Zuodu Yushi Tang Shiji Road.

"Xujiazhuang just wants an apology and a place to build a port to protect fishermen, is this too much to ask? Not too much at all! But you, the North Korean monarchs and ministers, not only did not want to negotiate peace, but also sent Choi Wende, the negotiator of Xujiazhuang, to prison and let the jailers abuse and beat him. Now that this situation has become this, it is completely self-inflicted! This pro-Xu Jiazhuang civil official said.

"What other filial piety is there, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jiannu invaded North Korea on a large scale, you can't resist it, and you actually call Jiannu a tribute, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"What? If you are a vassal to Jiannu, how can a daughter marry a second husband? Is this the work of a filial son? How dare you, North Korea, be so bold? ”

"There is another thing, the former king of your country, Li Hui, has a heart for the Ming Dynasty, and has never betrayed the Ming Dynasty in the face of the threat of the Houjin, but was deposed by a coup d'état and demoted to the king of Guanghai, and the current king Li Ju is usurping the throne and coming to power, and is dedicated to the Houjin, not pro-me Daming, and now when something happens, don't go to the Houjin, beg the Houjin to send troops to help, what are you looking for us to do?" An official of Honglu Temple said.

"I see that your country is clearly the filial son of Houjin, and the rebel son of my Ming Dynasty, what kind of face do you have to come here to plead?"

"Stop crying! I think I still agreed to Xujiazhuang's conditions, it's useless to cry here! ”

"That's right, it's better to admit your mistake and lose some money, just lend Jeju Island to Xujiazhuang, anyway, there is not much place."

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty said one after another.

Not only did it dig out a lot of old accounts of the black history of the Korean country.

And the mouth cannon kung fu is not weak at all, in a few words, these North Korean envoys refuted with red faces, almost vomiting blood, some of them refuted with their mouths, but they said a word of truth, the Ming civil officials can say ten sentences, and then grasp a few wrong things in North Korea, and after a while, these North Korean envoys will be speechless, and they can't say anything at all.

"Your Majesty, help us!"

"Xiao Chen will be killed here today."

"The state is in trouble, you can't see death without help!"

These Korean envoys had no choice but to focus on Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and let out an earth-shattering cry, hoping to get the emperor's support.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand directly, and asked the eunuch to announce his retirement from the court, as for helping, he would never help, and he didn't even have much sympathy.

Because the hearts of the Korean monarchs and ministers are backward to Jin Jiannu, or to ride the wall neutrally, they are not completely inclined to the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the current king of Joseon, Yi Liang, is a usurper!

These two points alone made Zhu Youzhen eliminate all his good feelings towards North Korea, and it was absolutely impossible to help such a country, because he violated the taboo in his heart!

But it still doesn't mean that he will stand on Xujiazhuang's side, what Xujiazhuang did could not dispel the doubts in his heart, but was extremely jealous.

For his complex mentality, Qi Chunnian, the commercial representative of Xujiazhuang, found a way to enter the palace, asked to see Zhu Youzhen, and did ideological work for him.

"Your Majesty, this is a great thing, I wonder what are you worried about?" Qi Chunnian said with a smile.

"Hehe, Xujiazhuang's army will enter the capital tomorrow and take my head, in your mouth, I'm afraid it's a great thing."

Zhu Youzhen sneered, he had already discovered that in this Qi Chunnian's mouth, no matter what Xu Jiazhuang did, it was a good thing and a reasonable thing in his mouth, in short, there was no bad thing.

He had long been fed up with this Qi Chun Nian, and asked Xu Jiazhuang to change a commercial representative, but Xu Jiazhuang disagreed, saying that the communication between the two sides was very effective, and if he was dissatisfied, he could also let Feng Jiuying, the contact eunuch of the imperial court in Harbour City, convey his protest and reprimand the owner Xu Yuan, there is no need to change people, not to mention that even if it is changed, the next one will not necessarily be much more polite than Qi Chunnian, so it is better to bear with it.

This reply made Zhu Youzhen depressed and vomit blood, but he was helpless, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Now that he heard that Qi Chunnian had started talking nonsense again, Zhu Youzhen could only lower his requirements for an elegant gentleman and learned a lot of Zu'an greetings.

"Your Majesty, don't joke with me, what I said this time is serious, and I am sincerely congratulating you, Your Majesty." Qi Chunnian said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, you were the one who joked with me first, and I wasn't allowed to tell some jokes? And with the swiftness of the Xujiazhuang naval fleet, if you really want to take my head, I'm afraid it will only be within three or five days, am I wrong? ”

Zhu Youzhen was too lazy to pretend, so he simply told the truth and expressed his worries.

"Your Majesty, if you are really so afraid, then let me live in the palace, I will protect Your Majesty, no matter who wants to hurt Your Majesty, step on my corpse first! Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, I was arranged to live in the East Palace and live with the prince. Qi Chunnian proposed, a pair of eyes turning slyly.

"Get out!" Zhu Youzhen's answer was concise and to the point.

"Your Majesty, this action of Xu Jiazhuang is a good thing for Daming, and it is even more good for Your Majesty!"

Qi Chunnian entered the topic: "This means that Xujiazhuang has officially started the overseas colonization strategy and has the first overseas colonization point, because after taking Jeju Island, after the successful establishment of the port, Jeju Island will become an important fishing center, and the annual processing of marine fish will reach 500,000 stones, 1 million stones or even tens of millions of stones per year, and it is also the commercial center and logistics center between the Ming Dynasty, North Korea and Japan!" ”

"This Jeju Island alone, as long as it is properly managed, will bring at least hundreds of thousands or millions of silver dollars in profits every year, which may be equivalent to the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty for a year."

"It is precisely because of the profitability and high profits that the business focus of Xujiazhuang in the future may be placed on overseas colonization, rather than investing too much resources and energy in Daming, and even need to use all kinds of resources in Daming to vigorously develop overseas strategies."

"For example, in the development of Jeju Island, the royal capital held by His Majesty can also participate in it, and it is possible to open a few stores on Jeju Island, set up a few warehouses, and invest in a marine fish processing factory, etc., which are all good deals and can be invested."

"In the later stage, Xujiazhuang's eyes will be placed on more and farther places, and resources and manpower will be invested to establish a second, third, fourth, and even hundreds of thousands of colonization points, and the attention will not be placed in the territory of Daming, but will continue to go out."

"Your Majesty, think about it, Xujiazhuang, which keeps going out and keeps throwing resources out, is it a good thing or a bad thing for Daming and your Majesty? What's more, Your Majesty can also participate and participate in the shares, and share the dividends, isn't it a good thing? ”

listened to Qi Chunnian's serious words.

Skeptical.

Zhu Youzhen can only be suspicious.

Is overseas really that good? It's not a wild land full of miasma, but full of opportunities to make a fortune?

With a profit of several million taels a year, just a small island has such a big development potential, is it possible?

If there are really so many overseas opportunities, and there are resources and wealth everywhere, why is it that in the past thousands of years, it has been difficult for the Chinese nation to get out of the current territory, and it has not occupied all those anointed lands, but has cheapened other nationalities - after all, if foreign expansion is profitable, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation will not be much worse, otherwise it will not have such a large territory now.

The reason why we can't continue to forge ahead is that there is really no oil and water to be made, and the cost of ruling is extremely high, and the gains outweigh the losses...... The ancestors knew the importance of the land, but they really did their best.

Could it be that Xujiazhuang is a merchant power, but he can create miracles and do things that even the national system can't do?

Smell a rat.

From the perspective of common sense, Zhu Youzhen had to express his doubts.

But...... What Qi Chunnian said also makes some sense.

Take this Jeju Island as an example, after Xujiazhuang is won, the management personnel will always need three or five hundred, right? The garrison must also have one or two thousand, and there are other aspects of resource investment, and the millions of taels of silver are not earned every year, but hundreds of thousands of dollars are put in first.

What if there were ten, hundred, thousand, or ten thousand colonies of this kind? How many managers does Xujiazhuang have to invest and how many troops to train? How much does it cost each year?

And unlike the contiguous territory of the Ming Dynasty, these colonization points scattered to various places, even if they are profitable, are too scattered, and in the event of an emergency, it is difficult to quickly concentrate resources and forces for use, like sprinkling sesame seeds, which are likely to be broken by each.

His Ming Empire has always been complete, unified, and its strength and resources are relatively concentrated, even if it is not as good as Xujiazhuang in terms of resources and strength, but he is lying on his salary and trying his courage, and the Ming Dynasty will develop for a few more years, more than ten years?

At that time, the strength of Daming, even if it can't do the entire Xujiazhuang, but it shouldn't be difficult to easily knock out one or two collective manors, right?

And Xujiazhuang's resources have been put overseas in large quantities, and they can't come to help in a short time, as long as they grasp the opportunity, they will knock out all the Xujiazhuang strongholds in the Jiangnan region in one fell swoop! It is entirely possible to expel all the influence of Xu Jiazhuang from the Ming Dynasty.

Wish.

Zhu Youzhen saw the hope of defeating Xujiazhuang and even completely eliminating Xujiazhuang.

And the premise of this hope is exactly what Qi Chunnian said, Xu Jiazhuang has to invest a lot of resources and manpower in overseas colonization.

"This fishing conflict, I support Xujiazhuang!"

Zhu Youzhen, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly said to Qi Chunnian: "The Korean state must compensate, apologize, and cede Jeju Island to Xu Jiazhuang, if you don't agree, Xu Jiajun can continue the blockade until you agree." ”

"Thank you, thank you, your majesty!"

Seeing that the emperor chose to completely fall to Xujiazhuang, Qi Chun was overjoyed, and expressed his gratitude again and again, and after the emperor fell to Xujiazhuang, the Korean monarchs and ministers could no longer toss any tricks, and they had to compromise if they didn't compromise!

And seeing Qi Chunnian's bright smile, Zhu Youzhen actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He said secretly: Xujiazhuang will continue to expand overseas like this, don't mess around in my Daming, it's better to toss all the family resources, and all the people are tossed, hehe, maybe I may be able to win without a fight, it's just beautiful.
