It turned out that the officials of the eight provinces of North Korea are now in a state of confusion.

They didn't react to anything, and they perished?

Gyeonggi Province fell completely, and Kaijing became the base of the Ming Dynasty in Goryeo Province, and the destruction of the country by others was gradually encroached, and the destruction of the country by King Qi was directly broken from the inside.

The Liaodong Army began to take over the eight provinces of Korea, and the local officials and generals were entangled in their hearts and resisted for a minute, and then they turned their hearts to surrender.

What else is this fighting?

The royal family of the Li Dynasty is dead, and if they continue to resist, who will they fight for?

Zhu Gaoxian smoothly took over the entire territory of Korea, declared the fall of Korea, and changed it to Goryeo Province.

The news reached Jinling City in the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the Beijing Division fried the pot.

What month and year is it?

February of the 14th year of Yongle.

When did King Qi go to Liaodong?

October of the thirteenth year of Yongle.

In four months, King Qi destroyed a country and added a province to the Ming Dynasty?

Can it be more outrageous?

How difficult it was for the Sui and Tang dynasties to conquer Goguryeo, how did they get to King Qi, and it seemed that they had destroyed Korea without doing anything?

But did Zhu Gaoxian really do nothing?

Runyu silently, it seems that nothing has been done, but in fact things have been done, the battlefield behind the enemy line is all about silence, fighting whose brain turns faster, whose calculation is deeper.

None of these things will be put on the table, so it also gives everyone an illusion: King Qi won easily.

If you look at the results, this is indeed the case.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di couldn't help but be very happy after reading the military report sent by North Korea.

"Good! King Qi Cheng didn't deceive me, when he told me to destroy the two countries in October, I thought he was bragging, but now he will destroy North Korea in four months, and King Qi is still modest at the beginning! ”

The old man was happy in his heart, and Tang Cheng, the big eunuch next to him, also followed suit: "King Qi's battle was fought beautifully, and Xia Shangshu of the household department should also be happy." ”

"Yes, that Xia Lao picks, every time I go on an expedition, he picks and searches, and he is unwilling to give money."

Speaking of Xia Yuanji, Zhu Di pursed his lips, "But I also understand, he Xia Yuanji is in charge of the household department, in charge of the world's money, and the war is a logistics, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in deficit every time there is a war, Xia Yuanji's heart is not filled with copper coins for two jujubes, but the hearts of the people of the world. ”

"Xia Shangshu is a heavy minister, which is really admirable." Tang Chengdao.

Zhu Di suddenly laughed: "This time King Qi fought the battle, it took four months to complete the battle, and the time to send troops was only a few days, and the treasury did not allocate much military supplies at all." King Qi copied the treasury of North Korea, and checked the war gains and consumption, where is the deficit, and he made a lot of money, not only that, but the Korean country was changed to Goryeo Province, and the Ming Dynasty had one more province of taxes, so what else could Xia Lao say to him, I am afraid that I would like King Qi to continue to fight! Ha ha! ”

Tang Cheng smiled and said nothing, he looked at the smile on the corner of Zhu Di's mouth, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

- He has served Zhu Di for decades, and since Empress Xu died of illness, this is the first time he has seen Zhu Di so happy.

Some people say that Zhu Di is an emperor who is very happy and never cherishes the people's strength, and it is not wrong to say that he is indeed a great achievement, and he has conquered countless times in his life, repairing canals, moving the capital to Shuntian, and compiling the Yongle Ceremony......

He is so happy, not for his own vanity, he just wants to tell the world one thing: I sit in this world, no worse than anyone else.

The great joy does not mean that Zhu Di does not cherish the people's power.

He has a clear heart, every time he fights, he is consuming national strength, although Yongle was a prosperous era, it can't stand the toss all the time, and sooner or later the national strength will be exhausted. But he still fought, and if he didn't subdue those alien races, how could the country develop peacefully?

For every battle he fought, future generations would be able to fight one less.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di appointed Xia Yuanji as the head of the household, if it weren't for this, Xia Yuanji's character of picking the door, opening his mouth and closing his mouth without money, the emperor's face would not be given, according to Zhu Di's temper, even if Xia Yuanji was not cut, Xia Laoji's official would have been deposed long ago, not to mention reused.

"King Qi, you can always bring surprises to me."

Zhu Di closed his eyes and said softly, "Not only can he win the battle, the most important thing is that he doesn't spend money to win the battle, and even makes money, I didn't dare to think about this before, every time I finished the battle, I didn't dare to look at the bill given by the household department." Now it's good, with King Qi going to fight for me, both Hubu and I can rest assured. ”

Tang Cheng listened to it on the side, and suddenly felt a little sad.

On Zhu Di's body, he is burdened with heavy pressure like a towering Mount Tai.

What he is carrying is the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

With the body of one person, he supported the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, he was very tired, and devoted all his energy to the Ming Dynasty, to fight with countless people, and eradicate the enemy.

And now, he can finally unload the burden on his body, and hand over the responsibility he bears to King Qi to share, no longer have to walk alone on the dark road, in front of his eyes, is a long-lost light, a warm dawn in the cold night.

Power is also responsibility.

He is the one in power and the man of the sword.

"Tell the officials of the DPRK and China that a big banquet will be held in front of the Fengtian Hall tonight, and I will invite the Quartet!"

Zhu Di had a smile on the corner of his mouth, relieved in his heart.

"Slave and maid command."

Tang Cheng was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped again.

"Wait!"

Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows, "Forget about the big banquet, such a banquet will cost an unknown amount of silver, save a little if you can, set aside this money, and King Qi can prepare two more days of grain and grass when he fights." ”

At the beginning, the sky was not afraid of the earth, and Lao Tzu was not convinced by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who could do whatever he wanted, and now he can't wait to break a copper plate into two petals.

After all, he still lived the way he hated, but he didn't regret it.

……

At the meeting in Gyeonggi Province, Zhu Gaoxian sat on the main seat, and the rest of the participants included Lu Chaoyang, Zheng He, Su Wu, Liu Rong and others, all of whom are now high-ranking officials and generals in Goryeo Province.

Everyone had a smile on their faces that could not be concealed, among which Liu Rongxiao, the general soldier of Liaodong, was the happiest.

In this battle to destroy the country, although he did not have any outstanding performance, the army led by King Qi was their Liaodong Army. With a boss like King Qi, as long as the rest of the people follow King Qi's command to complete the order, they will be able to get credit in the end.

This credit is enough for Liu Rong to get the hereditary title.

The content of the first half of this meeting is nothing surprising, it is nothing more than to discuss how to distribute the merits of the war, which is used to comfort the soldiers and calm the morale of the army.

However, halfway through the meeting, Zhu Gaoxian suddenly changed his words and said, "Let's discuss now the plan to attack the Japanese Kingdom!" ”

Everyone was stunned, they thought that after swallowing North Korea this time, King Qi's journey would have a certain cooling-off period.

It is certain to fight the Wa Kingdom, this is in the plan, but they didn't expect it, after King Qi conquered Korea, he didn't take a break at all, and directly pointed the finger at the Wa Kingdom!
