Boss Zhu has always been resolute. Seven days later, the brothers set off for the north.

Of course, it is still incognito, and the white dragon fish is served.

is only Goryeo, and he can't afford to wait for the prince of the Ming Dynasty to come. If it weren't for Boss Zhu's efforts to train his son to become successful as soon as possible, the Korean Peninsula might never have a prince of the Ming Dynasty set foot on the Korean Peninsula, not to mention that the dignified prince was a thousand years old.

The scale of the mission was unprecedented, and there were 500 guards alone, and they were all burly and strong martial arts Yulin Guards.

The public statement is naturally because this trip requires the purchase of a large number of war horses, and enough troops are needed to escort them back to China. But in fact, it was the crown prince who was worried about the safety of his younger brothers, so he deliberately increased the number of guards from two hundred to five hundred, so as to be foolproof.

Cai Bin, who served as the chief envoy of the mission, was the Wupin Yulin Wei Qianhu, and these five hundred soldiers and horses were his subordinates.

Moreover, Yu Linwei is the most elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and Cai Bin and his subordinates have been dealing with war horses for half their lives. So in addition to protecting the security of the mission, they also have to take on the heavy responsibility of buying and raising horses.

The deputy envoy of the mission was Lin Mi, the director of the Jeong-roupin Rite Department, who was responsible for diplomatic affairs such as the etiquette of the envoy, the submission of credentials, and negotiations with the Goryeo government. In dealing with such a small foreign state, we must not lose our national dignity.

A fifth-grade military attaché and a sixth-grade civil official are the specifications of the mission. This is also the weight of Goryeo in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Among Cai Bin's subordinates, there are two brothers, 'Hong Hao' and 'Hong Ji', who have been promoted to test 100 households because of their outstanding performance, and the two brothers and the other three 100 households with old seniority are each commanding 100 forest guards.

The identity of the third child is the master of the Taifu Temple from the seventh grade, responsible for the registration of the accounts of the purchase of war horses.

Because Zhu Zhen is still young, he can only accompany him as a scholar.

Above...... Oh, and by the way, there's also the old five, who is a military doctor and veterinarian.

Although Lao Wu looked too young and inconspicuous, he was sent to the mission by the Tai Hospital, so he was still respected from top to bottom.

When going overseas, whether it is a man or a horse, once he gets sick, he can only rely on him.

~~

The mission planned to sail from Nanjing, take the waterway north to Tamna Island, dock for supplies, inspect the pastures, and then cross the sea to Goryeo mainland.

After buying the horse, return to Daming by land from Liaodong...... In fact, the quickest and safest way is to take a boat from Jinzhou, the southernmost part of the Liaodong Dusi, cross the Bohai Sea, and go ashore in Dengzhou. This was also the main supply line of the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong.

But the route was set by Boss Zhu himself, so he could only follow it obediently. Only the elder brothers and the two chief and deputy envoys knew that this was to train the ability of several highnesses to lead troops on long-distance marches.

It can be imagined how devastating Cai Bin and Lin Mi were when they learned that His Royal Highness the Prince was in their mission.

What is worse than this situation is that there are five highnesses in the mission......

Both of them want to die.

After all, if you die now, it won't affect the whole family, but if any of Your Highnesses has a mistake after the mission, their whole family will have to be buried together.

But the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and the two of them could only bite the bullet.

In fact, they are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. Compared to their predecessors, Ping An and Han Yikelai, they are definitely much happier.

Han Yike and Ping'an not only had to worry about the safety of the five highnesses, but also forced the emperor to make it difficult for His Highness.

Cai Bin and Lin Mi at least don't have to do such a lack of virtue that His Highness will hate.

It's not that Boss Zhu suddenly has a kind heart, and his father's love explodes. Instead, this trip is going abroad, and with the existing means of communication, it is impossible to grasp the movements of his sons in real time, and naturally he cannot make a bad ...... Oh no, it's getting harder.

So Boss Zhu can only hope that the Koreans will cause more trouble for his brothers......

~~

On the day of departure, Princess Qin, Princess Jin and Princess Yan all dressed up as ordinary women and went to Jiangdongmen Wharf to see off their husbands.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Zhen have no wives, but they have a big brother to send each other.

On the prince's carriage, Zhu Biao was arranging the clothes of his two younger brothers, and at the same time instructed uneasily:

Although since the annexation of Goryeo, it has always been very respectful, and has sent people to pay tribute every year, and even sent people to participate in the imperial examination in the fourth year of Hongwu, with a posture of devout loyalty. But the king of Goryeo and his military generals are by no means good, so you must be vigilant and do not take it lightly. ”

"What do you say about it, big brother?" Zhu Zhen asked puzzled. There was no way, as soon as Smecta was mentioned, he thought of a deafening saying:

'It is the greatest honor to be a Ming dog! ’

So although I have been reminding myself not to despise any opponent, it is really hard to pay attention to Smecta, Smecta.

"The kingdom of Goryeo was conquered by the Mongols a hundred years ago. The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to the rule of this country, and all the princes of Goryeo, when they were young, had to live in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and serve as the bodyguard of the Yuan Dynasty crown prince for a long time.

"When you grow up, you can marry the princess of the Yuan Dynasty before you can return to China with the princess to inherit the throne. So in the past hundred years, Goryeo has been an out-and-out equestrian country of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Later, the Yuan Dynasty simply set up the Zhengdong Province in Goryeo, with the king of Goryeo concurrently serving as the prime minister of the Zhengdong Province, although for various reasons, it still cannot be directly controlled, but the Yuan Dynasty can depose the king of Goryeo at will, and the government of Goryeo is also controlled by the pro-Yuan faction." The prince said in a deep voice:

"After being controlled by the Yuan Dynasty for many years, I heard that the upper class of Goryeo had become popular in braided hair and beard clothes, and the previous king even issued an order to shave their hair and change clothes, and the Goryeo people had been assimilated by the Mongols for a time. The Mongols were also completely reassured of them.

"But who would have thought that the current king of Goryeo, taking advantage of the chaos in the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, mercilessly backstabbed the suzerain, eradicated the pro-Yuan faction in the country, abolished the expedition to the eastern province, and even captured the Yuan Dynasty's Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion and Helan Mansion."

"is like that?" Zhu Zhen gasped, watching "Frost Flower Shop", he thought he was a faint gentleman.

"What's a chicken?" Then the prince asked puzzled.

"It's okay......" Zhu Zhen quickly diverted the topic and asked:

"They also came to participate in the imperial examination?"

"Yes. In the four years of Hongwu, three came, and one was admitted. The prince took out Zhang Guan's notice from his sleeve and said, "This is that person's official notice, and I asked someone to transfer it from the household department." ”

Zhu Zhen took it with both hands and opened it to see that it was a Korean named Jin Tao, who was appointed as the Cheng of Anqiu County, Dongchang Prefecture.

"He didn't go to work, and after being a sergeant, he asked to return to his hometown on the grounds of 'not being able to speak Chinese and being close to the elderly', but his father approved it, and paid him a generous passage fee and sent a ship to send him back to Goryeo."

"People are here to gild, of course I have to go back after the entrance examination." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I can only be a county magistrate in Daming, and it is estimated that I will start as a bachelor of Hanlin when I go back." ”

"Pretty much." The prince nodded in agreement and said, "I also met him at that time, and asked him to make a poem." If you go to Goryeo, if you have a useful place, you will go to him with this official notice. ”

"Uh-huh. Thank you, big brother, you are so fine, big brother. "The sixth child is busy putting it away.

ps. In two days, I finished researching the materials of Goryeo and completed the outline of this volume, and I will write it more smoothly later.

In addition, for the sake of storytelling, the timing is slightly fine-tuned. Write another chapter.
