Yan Song went to North Korea to do only three things: canonization, establishment of diplomatic relations, and restructuring.

Although the people of North Korea have "unanimously agreed" that the hearts of the Li people have been lost, and for the future of the people of North Korea, the Ming Dynasty should be accepted as the real land and share the wealth of the new law, but Zhu Xianzhuo cannot make his own decisions, and can only petition His Majesty the Ming Emperor on his behalf.

Nominally, he only entered the court as the prince of the clan on behalf of the great emperor to raise the people.

And when Yan Song arrives in Seoul, he has to start going through the process.

The first is that the "unanimous opinion" of North Korea needs to let the Ming Emperor make a decision, and the exchange of information will take time.

And after a rough delay of nearly a month, he took out the holy decree that he had brought with him.

The national conditions are different, and the Ming Dynasty has no intention of encroaching on North Korea. North Korea is still self-unified, the king of Liao is the Zhu Ming clan, if the whole of the DPRK is willing to be the king with its virtuous wishes, only after this canonization ceremony, in the future will be the lord of the DPRK, love the people of Korea like a son, and benefit one party. Aid the officials of the court, go and stay for your own convenience.

So then it was headed by Li, Chengjia, Shen Jia, etc., and the elders from Gyeonggi Province, Pyongan Province, Hwanghae Province and other places were invited to ask for three resignations, and Zhu Xianzhuo, the king of Liao, was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, sacrificed to the heavens, the earth, mountains and rivers, and ascended the throne as the king.

The officials who "go and stay for their own convenience" naturally need Zhu Xianzhuo to come up with a charter: It hasn't been long since I came, and most people don't have any outstanding achievements, so will they just go back to Daming?

Then the establishment of diplomatic relations and the restructuring were carried out together.

North Korea, which has always regarded itself as a small China, is really going to be on par with the Ming Dynasty in terms of system this time, except for some departments that are not necessary to be set up.

Yan Song is a first-hand witness of the new law of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end, with his help to sort it out, from the center to the locality, the yamen system, the allocation of officials, and the rules of service.

Of course, the constitution, the statutes, the letters...... It's all included.

When it comes to the future of those officials who aid North Korea, this is the friendly clause of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

The establishment of diplomatic relations is the highest level of fraternal relations.

Needless to say, in terms of preferential trade, as long as the DPRK nationals apply for visas, they can go to Daming to study, work, and do business.

If North Korea invites it, Daming can provide North Korea with all kinds of talents. During his service in North Korea, in addition to the salary paid by North Korea, the Ming Dynasty also had additional allowances, and it was included in the promotion reward evaluation system within the Ming Dynasty according to the aid merit jointly recognized by the Korean Imperial Court and the Ming Korean Propaganda Embassy.

In a word, you can earn double shares in North Korea, and if you want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, you can also be re-evaluated and promoted according to the merits of the aid to North Korea.

Of course, it is only available for the third product or less.

And above the third grade, that is, you have to face a choice: under this opportunity, you will become a Korean citizen and be reused by the new king of Joseon; Or after the civil strife in North Korea, he returned to the country to make contributions?

So there was another round of invitations, this time limited to important ministers such as Zhang Jing, Gong Yongqing, and Song Liangchen.

As for defense and security, a treaty of cooperation in border defense and suppression of bandits was signed: The DPRK was in ruins, its financial plans were difficult, and it was already difficult to maintain law and order, while the Japanese thieves and Jurchens were eyeing each other. He was willing to set up a Gyeonggi camp on Jeju Island for the Haiphong Military Port and Incheon, and asked Wang Shi to send elite troops to garrison it to deter Xiaoxiao.

In this way, everything will be talked about, and "everyone will be happy."

Zhu Xianzhuo immediately rewarded the ministers. After getting the reply of the great tomorrow, Zhang Jing, Gong Yongqing, Song Liangchen, and Li Ju were crowned the princes of the country, and each bureau was prominent; Zhu Xianzhuo's newly established North Korean concubine husband family has important uses, such as becoming a family to take charge of the royal family's enterprises, and the Shen family directly entered the North Korean State Palace.

The other two special people, one is Cao Cha, who worships as the Minister of State, and only lives under Zhang Jing; The first is Shen Lian, who is directly in charge of the newly established Praetorian Guard and security army systems.

After that, the people selected by North Korea's Enko went to the temple to try out the scene, and everyone was ordained.

This process was very easy for Yan Song, after all, many things had been discussed a long time ago.

Before the Chinese New Year, Yan Shifan first returned to Tsushima Island from Gangwon Province and Gyeongsang Province, assisted Wang Zhi to repel the Ouchi Yoshitaka Imperial Coalition Fleet that was attacking after the typhoon season, and then turned to Jeolla Province and participated in the final liquidation of Chungcheong-do and Jeolla Province together with Song Yangchen and Xue Han.

Seeing each other in a foreign country is naturally embarrassing.

What the father and son discussed, no one else knew.

However, North Korea has changed the day, and the five western provinces, including Gyeonggi Province, have all surrendered, the Northeast Hamgyong Province is still watching from the sidelines, and Gangwon Province and Gyeongsang Province are leaderless.

"Jeju, Incheon, Uiju, the three border cities of sea and land, commerce and trade will definitely flourish."

In front of Yan Song, Zhang Jing and Cao Cha could only listen quietly, and Li and other important Korean ministers could only keep their mouths shut.

"Your Majesty is blessed all over the world, and more grains are also being prepared for transshipment, so we will not miss the spring ploughing of the West Five Roads. Now, it is necessary to let North Korea also produce more output, so that it can profit from border trade. Lack of craftsmen, Ming enterprises can bring over. It is also a good thing to set up factories and operate in the DPRK and collect taxes into the DPRK treasury. ”

No matter how complicated Li's heart is, but in the past year, except for the Ming army's attack on the Yin rebel party and caused some damage, the Ming Dynasty is really helping the Korean people.

Now, Yan Song has brought a five-year plan for the Ming Dynasty to aid the DPRK.

He doesn't know much about some words, but the Daming Treasure Gold Bureau, the Treasure Ship Supervisor, and the Weaving Bureau ...... A factory will be set up in North Korea.

In addition to some great craftsmen, it is necessary to employ quite a few people in North Korea. Jeju, Incheon, and Uiju all have customs duties on the goods produced and sold to Damyeong, and their business income in North Korea will also be paid to the North Korean treasury in corresponding taxes.

Prospecting for minerals, cleaning up water conservancy, grain planting and agricultural tools...... All of them are helping North Korea lay the foundation and enhance its national strength.

"Therefore, except for Gyeongsang-do, the other two are not in a hurry to calm down." Yan Song said, "When the new dynasty was first established, compared with the two, the Korean people knew who was mediocre and who was virtuous. The rapid conquest and the military disasters together, the two people hated the new dynasty together. Besieged but not attacked, the new dynasty six industries prospered, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people in those two realms were miserable and could not come out, that is, the remnants of the party went against the trend. ”

Zhu Xianzhuo was a little worried: "After all, there are mediocre people who are unwilling, and they let the two provinces support the army and respect themselves, and the people of the six provinces who are not subject to the army are all going to work, and I am afraid that they will grow stronger and stronger." ”

Yan Song shook his head: "The anointed land is in the hands of the new dynasty, with the help of China, and the monarchs and ministers of the new dynasty love the people and govern the government, even if those two expropriations are tyrannical, how can they grow faster than the new dynasty?" China's entry into the DPRK was not to enslave the vassal states. The wise can detect all these things early, but the mediocre must see the proof. At that time, all the people will return to their hearts, and they will be called kings. ”

"If the two rebel armies are constantly intruding, how can they resist it?"

"That's the responsibility of the king in the court. The king can rest assured that the foreign ministers will also make His Majesty clear and order the military council to strictly order the generals. Only by helping the new dynasty defend the territory and defending against the enemy can it be meritorious, and if it dares to provoke, it will definitely be punished again. Guarding important passes, if the army of rebels enters the country and disturbs the people, the logistics are weak, and it is not difficult to suppress them. ”

It sounds like there are two more, but along the mountain range, it is indeed a total of only a few hundred miles of border defense.

It is impossible to fight back without it.

It's just that the king of North Korea has changed his surname to Zhu after all, and those who are unwilling should also open an opening and let them gather together to try the great cause of "opposing the Ming Dynasty and restoring the dynasty".

Give them some time to gather.

Whether they collude with the Jurchens or grow stronger, when the Ming Dynasty triumphs again from Dongying, wouldn't it be more exempt from future troubles?

In the current stage of upheaval, it is of course possible to achieve greater results with a smaller expenditure by abandoning the two roads and concentrating on the west and south sides of the peninsula, which have better transportation and land conditions.

Take your time, the big picture is set anyway.

Li returned to his Andong Mansion, which received the king's grace and set up a family temple.

The specifications naturally can't be compared with before, but the tablets of the ancestors are still there.

He took off his official robe, changed into filial piety clothes, and knelt in the family temple again.

If you count the date, it has not been twenty-seven months since his father died.

Li knelt there alone, and now only one of his younger brothers was still alive and was sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, he still had tears in his eyes, and his head hit the ground: "Unfilial descendants can't do anything, they can't do anything...... The ancestors and the ancestors, the government has been corrupted for decades, the party in the court is overturned, and the powerful ministers are rampant, and they are already in danger. And Da Ming ...... Daming ...... What kind of rich and powerful Ming does His Majesty the Emperor have, how many virtuous ministers and good generals, and how determined he is! I can't help it, I really can't ......."

In this life, he will surely spend his life trembling.

Whether he can continue the bloodline of the Li family can only depend on what he does in this life.

He knew that in fact, he couldn't change anything, and without him doing this, Da Ming would have done things to this point.

But the ancestors and the ancestors, the whole of North Korea, how many people can understand him?

Most of them didn't go to Daming, and they had so much in-depth contact with the current Son of Heaven and his ministers.

They haven't seen what Da Ming looks like today.

I really can't help it......

……

"Shame!"

Zhou Fangguo Yamaguchi Pavilion is the residence of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and now in his residence, Tao Longfang looks at Ouchi Yoshitaka who is drinking and relieving his worries.

"It's just a defeat, you are now the guardian of the eleven countries, and you have created the most prosperous foundation of the Ouchi family, and the name of the imperial guard general is known far and wide! How can you just be depressed? ”

"Gorou Yo ......" Yoshitaka Ouchi's eyes were misty, "You didn't go...... You don't have ...... Seeing their eyes......"

"So what if you can't fight in a naval battle?" Tao Longfang still said loudly, "Now that Iwamiyama is in our hands, and the Nizi clan is in ashes, as long as we can stop their advance on land, it is enough to make the heroes of all countries surrender!" ”

“…… Didn't receive ...... News from the seaside? That...... Those from North Korea...... The people who fled ......"

“…… Stop talking nonsense! Tao Longfang rushed over a little unruly, and grabbed his collar with the friendship he had grown up with as a child, "You guy, wake me up!" What about the Ming army that destroyed Korea? They can go to North Korea by land! Do you think they are even more powerful than the Mongols in the past? ”

"Hahaha......" Ouchi Yoshitaka actually laughed wantonly, but the laughter was a little bitter, "Mongolian...... They are...... Horseback riding. Their ship...... All right? ”

Tao Longfang knew what he was talking about.

It doesn't matter whether the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the Meng Yuan at its peak, but what dealt such a big blow to Ouchi Yoshitaka was the defeat in the naval battle to attack Tsushima Island.

At first, it was not recommended to go to the Tao Long room.

Having taken down the Nizi clan and holding the island under the geographical advantage is the undefeated king.

However, it was discovered that most of the warships guarding the Ming merchant ships had left, leaving only three there, and Ouchi Yoshitaka couldn't bear it.

He really wants to increase his reputation again, even if he doesn't divide his troops to defend Tsushima Island, it would be good if he would destroy all of it and come back to continue the previous strategy!

So Yoshitaka Ouchi insisted on taking someone with him.

This time, the Shimazu family did not send a ship over, but only sent some retainers and samurai to lead some people to accompany Ouchi Yoshitaka on the expedition.

Maori Yuan sent more than ten ships of all sizes over there, and together with Ouchi Yoshitaka's side, there were nearly 70 ships and more than 3,000 elite soldiers.

Originally, there was no ambush, but who would have thought that the three Ming warships were not only bigger than their ships, but also faster than their ships, and their artillery was even more powerful?

They didn't fight at all, they just found an angle to bombard them while sailing.

If only that were all, but then six warships came from the other side of the island and tried to surround them.

Ouchi Yoshitaka really escaped with his life this time, and there were less than thirty boats back. Hundreds of the more than 3,000 elite soldiers fled to Tsushima before the ship sank, but they were afraid of many bad luck; Except for the more than 1,000 people who came back, the rest sank into the sea without even boarding Tsushima Island.

Yoshitaka Ouchi was devastated.

"The strength of the Imperial Guard Coalition is more than 100,000, and what is the loss of 2,000? No matter how strong the warships of the Ming army are, can the ships sail to the shore? Cheer me up, you bastard! ”

“…… I'll leave it to you. Ouchi Yoshitaka waved his hand, "You are the chief general, let it be handed over to you...... Let me recuperate for a few more days......"

The general has not seen anyone these days, and it is natural that he was slightly injured during the expedition to Tsushima Island and needs to recuperate.

But how long has this been raised?

I don't know, do you think he is seriously ill and dying?

Tao Longfang didn't know how hard he had been hit at sea.

Even if more than 70 ships are defeated against nine ships, they won't be so slumped, right?

found the surviving retainers who went on the expedition with Yoshitaka Ouchi at that time, and the man's eyes showed a fear that was still afraid: "General General...... I'm afraid it was the timely arrival of reinforcements, and the fear of rebellion from the Shimazu family and the Mori family after this defeat......"

"When the Nizi clan was crusaded, there were rumors of a conquest of Tsushima, so what's so strange that they have taken precautions and set up an ambush?"

“…… Don't you know? Some of those who fled from North Korea were taken to Tsushima and let them rush ahead. Those Ming warships that appeared later, they did see them on the sea east of Korea. The flag may be fake, the one-eyed general who laughed wildly, they all recognize it! ”

Tao Longfang was stunned.

With his ability, he also came back to his senses.

So to speak, the people who ventured to investigate at that time only returned three battleships that were true. The six warships did leave and went to North Korea.

However, the coalition forces were very sure that they had not seen any ships from Tsushima coming to investigate.

Even if you see a ship gathering at the dock of the harbor, the departure time is top secret. When did the six ships that were far away in North Korea return to Tsushima?

Don't...... In fact, in the high-level of the coalition army, there have always been people who have made two plans, acting as an internal response for the Ming Dynasty?

That's not right, from the time of confirmation to the actual departure, there are only three days in total, which is not enough for them to pass on the news to North Korea to let those ships rush back.

Or is it that from the moment the warships were assembled, someone sent the news there?

Tao Longfang felt a little chilly: Who is it? At first, only Yoshitaka Ouchi, him, Mori Motosashi, and Shimazu Takakuchi knew about this matter.

Shimazu Takakuchi has already washed the Ryukyus in blood, he still has leeway?

Thinking of this, Tao Longfang couldn't help but look to the east.

Is it a Maori dollar?

On Tsushima Island, Wang Zhi replaced Yan Shifan and became a figure who should also be feared in Zong Qingkang's mind.

He still didn't know how Wang Zhi knew exactly when the Imperial Guard Coalition was about to attack, and he could send a clipper ship to the southeast coast of Korea to find Yan Shifan long in advance.

But Tsushima was unscathed by the last attack, and the battle on the shore was nothing more than annihilation of the exhausted remnants of the army.

He was afraid that it would take him a long time to know this secret, but now, Zhu Houxi knew.

The inside story was only told to Yan Song by Yan Shifan, and then reported by Yan Song, which could only make Zhu Houxi sigh: "People's hearts are really wild, who said that Han people don't like to take risks?" ”

Huang Jin couldn't understand why.

Zhu Houxi had a smile on his face.

Yan Shifan has fallen in love with the feeling of galloping across the ocean, and Wang Zhi is also quite happy about such a "place outside the world" as Dongying.

The credit for Wang Zhi's planning was given by Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion that he was now accepting a little brother like Wang Zhi over there to cultivate the power that would belong to him in the future.

It is indeed high that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it cannot be the same as North Korea.

But Zhu Houxi really didn't expect that Wang Zhi would dig such a good hoe.

Is it a Maori dollar?
