Chapter 223: Sending Troops, Encountering Japanese Invaders

"Weichen see His Royal Highness King Daming Yan!"

A group of Goryeo magnates saluted respectfully.

Zhu Di's face was gentle.

"Rise up, everybody."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When the Goryeo magnates got up, Zhu Di asked, "I don't know if you are in such a hurry to see this king, but what's the matter?" ”

A Goryeo dignitary said respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the existing Japanese robbers are plundering the people of the three realms of Goryeo. I waited to beg His Highness to send troops to exterminate those Japanese robbers and save my Goryeo people! ”

"Do you want this king to send troops to rescue the people of Goryeo such as Er?"

Zhu Di was stunned, as if he had heard something absurd, and said with a strange face: "They are your people, not the people of this king, why did this king send troops to rescue them?" ”

The Goryeo magnates were also stunned, they never expected that this King Yan would speak so bluntly?

Aren't the Confucian classics of the Ming Dynasty all taught to be subtle and benevolent?

The Goryeo magnates whose family roots are in the lower three provinces suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly saluted again, "His Royal Highness King Yan Myeongjian, now His Royal Highness King Yan is the King of Goryeo who is jointly recognized by the capital of my Goryeo, and the Goryeo people of Gyeongsang Province, Chungcheong Province, and Jeolla Province are also the people of His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"Joke!"

Hearing these shameless words, Guo An on the side sneered directly.

"You say that the people of the three provinces of Gyeongsang-do, Chungcheong-do, and Jeolla are the people of His Royal Highness King Yan, and they are the people of His Royal Highness King Yan?

Did they pay taxes to His Royal Highness King Yan?

Are there any people who claim to be the children of His Royal Highness King Yan?

Has His Royal Highness King Yan recognized them......

There are still others, who still claim to be Goryeo courtiers, and the king of Goryeo is still on the throne? Do you want His Royal Highness King Yan to be a thief who steals the country?

Your Highness is kind enough to trade with you, but now you want to trap His Royal Highness King Yan in injustice, what kind of heart are you waiting for? ”

All the powerful people couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Also, His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness King Yan...... Do you know what this means?

Only the people of Yan can be the people of His Royal Highness King Yan? And now, in addition to Wangjing Kaesong, Yan'an County, and Ganghwa Island, where else can the entire Goryeo be regarded as the city of Yanguo? ”

All the Goryeo magnates subconsciously shook their heads.

These state cities are all Goryeo cities.

Even Wangjing Kaesong, Yan'an County, and Ganghwa Island are all Goryeo cities in their hearts.

As for this King of Ming Yan, it is just the Prince of Ming who temporarily occupies their royal capital.

Let him occupy it for years, or decades.

When this King of Yan builds the royal capital more prosperous, and when the Ming Dynasty decays and decays, these cities will naturally return to Goryeo.

These are the cognitions of all the powerful people of Goryeo.

It's just that those robbers ......

Thinking about it, the Goryeo magnates who were the first to speak stood up again.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, as long as we can drive those widows away, we are willing to provide His Royal Highness King Yan with tens of thousands of young and strong laborers for His Royal Highness King Yan to pave cement roads, build docks, build cement workshops, or build palaces for His Royal Highness......

"Tens of thousands of young and strong laborers?"

Zhu Di glanced at the Goryeo magnate a little strangely, and said lightly: "Tens of thousands of young and strong laborers, you only need to train a little, and it is not easy to defeat 3,000 Japanese soldiers for a strong army?" ”

"This ......"

The Goryeo magnates couldn't help but be a little hesitant, and their faces were full of embarrassment.

The Goryeo people of their county capital have long been afraid of being killed by the Japanese invaders, and they regard the Japanese as demons, and they all flee when they see the Japanese invaders, not to mention 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if it is 20,000, they dare not fight with those Japanese invaders!

Thinking about it, the Goryeo magnate turned grim and said directly: "I am willing to pay taxes to His Royal Highness King Yan?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Can you represent the entire Goryeo people?" ”

The Goryeo magnate sneered, "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, Wechen can only represent the people of Jeolla Province!" ”

Immediately, two more Goryeo magnates stood up.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Weichen represents the people of Gyeongsang-do!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Weichen represents the people of Chungcheong-do!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then looked at the Goryeo magnates on the side.

On the side, the remaining Goryeo magnates changed their faces slightly, and they lowered their heads and did not look at Zhu Di.

At the same time, he scolded in his heart, these bastard things, they kindly came with them to plead with His Royal Highness King Yan, but they betrayed them like this!

Seeing this, the three Goryeo magnates felt bad, and hurriedly pleaded: "Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to save me and other Goryeo people!" ”

"Yes, please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to save me and wait for the three Goryeo people......"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and then looked at Guo An on the side.

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, if these three people can pay taxes to Your Highness, they can be regarded as Your Highness's people for the time being."

It's just that they have been plundered several times by the Japanese invaders, and I wonder if they will be able to pay all the taxes? ”

The three Goryeo magnates hurriedly said: "Please also rest assured, His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi, the people of the three realms will definitely be able to pay all the taxes." ”

"Wait for three people to be sure?"

Guo An asked.

The three Goryeo magnates couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, and said with some carelessness: "It's okay, this king remembers that you and others also have a large number of goods transported to Beiping Mansion, if you dare to deceive this king, those goods can be used to deduct taxes!" ”

The faces of the three Goryeo magnates couldn't help but change slightly.

On the side, Guo An directly followed Zhu Di's words and said respectfully: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

Next, when it comes to fighting, Zhu Di has a lot more words.

"This king remembers that when Li Chenggui, who was cut by this king's thousand knives, led his troops to help the people of the three Goryeo provinces to attack the Japanese invaders, he was also abandoned and betrayed by the three Goryeo soldiers under the three royal generals, and was almost annihilated by the Japanese invaders?"

The three Goryeo magnates were suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness King Yan misunderstood, back then, the Japanese were arrogant and powerful, and the generals such as Park Linzong and Hong Rengui and Lin Chengwei were just temporarily avoiding the edge, but I didn't expect Li Chenggui to go straight into the ...... alone."

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, "The matter of the army fighting, this king doesn't want to listen to explanations." ”

"The king only told you that he could send 3,000 soldiers to help you attack the thieves, but you needed at least 1,000 horses and 50 carriages.

Along the way, the grain and grass are heavy, and they must be prepared! ”

The three Goryeo magnates hurriedly responded, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Yan, we will be fully prepared." ”

Zhu Di said again: "In addition, each of you must lead at least a thousand soldiers to fight with the soldiers of my Yan Wangfu." ”

The faces of the three Goryeo magnates changed drastically, and they just wanted to speak.

Zhu Di said: "This king doesn't expect you to fight with those Japanese invaders, but he needs your life to ensure that at a critical time, you will wait for the soldiers of Gyeongsang Province, Chungcheong Province, and Jeolla Province to escape......

"His Royal Highness King Yan, we will never do such a thing......"

"If you agree to these conditions, the king will send troops. If he doesn't agree, this king will never risk the lives of his soldiers! ”

Zhu Di's tone was resolute, and the three Goryeo magnates glanced at each other, and could only nod helplessly slightly.

"Wechen obeys!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Wait and go back first, this king will select the generals, and in two days, he will send troops!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

The three Goryeo magnates were overjoyed.

The rest of the Goryeo magnates are also looking forward to it.

They haven't seen it yet, how the Ming soldiers fought against the Japanese invaders.

When a group of Goryeo magnates left, Zhu Di ordered to gather a group of commanders and thousands of households.

"This king is going to send troops to kill those who are robbing the three provinces of Goryeo, who is willing to go!"

"The last will go!"

"Your Highness, the last general will ask for ...... battle"

In an instant, in the main hall, dozens of generals were all excited to fight.

On the side, Guo An said leisurely: "Generals, those Japanese robbers have invaded Goryeo for many days. There is a great possibility that by the time you lead your troops to the three provinces of Gyeongsang-do, Chungcheong-do, and Jeolla-do, those would-be robbers have already run away! ”

Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhu Di was not polite, and directly named him.

"Chen Shou is the main general, and he led Tan Tong, Meng Shan, and Wuli to make up three thousand households, and went to exterminate those Japanese robbers!

You can't divide your troops to fight, and when you encounter the Japanese invaders, Tan Tong and Meng Shan's two thousand households coordinated with grenades and fire control, killing and injuring the Japanese invaders on a large scale...... Wuli made up for a thousand Mongolian soldiers, rode on war horses, and went around intercepting and killing the Japanese invaders, and the lives of the Japanese were cheap, even if they ran a few, it didn't matter, you must not give your life in vain......"

"The last general obeys!"

Chen Shou, Tan Tong, Meng Shan, and Wu Li Bu hurriedly bowed.

Two days later.

Yan Wangfu sent troops.

Five days later, I came to Chungcheong-do.

At the same time, the generals of the three powerful Goryeo families were also waiting in Chungju.

After the army converged, they went to Gyeongsang-do to kill.

The Japanese mainland is close to Gyeongsang-do, so the Japanese generally like to raid Jeolla Province first, and then come up to raid Gyeongsang-do.

If satisfied, retreat by boat.

If you are not satisfied, then continue north to Chungcheong-do.

However, this time, after the Japanese robbed Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province smoothly, the grain they looted had already filled all the ships.

Moreover, the number of casualties is relatively small.

This battle should be their most abundant plunder in recent years.

Only, just as they were about to go back.

But I heard that they had been looting for so long this time, and the Goryeo army had not come to encircle and suppress it, because the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty had actually broken through the king of Goryeo and captured the king of Goryeo.

As for the Goryeo general Li Chenggui who scared them, he was also killed by King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, a group of Japanese robbers were immediately overjoyed, and they killed hundreds of Koreans to celebrate.

Lee Sung-gye is dead, who else in Goryeo can stop them?

It was celebrated for two days.

A group of Japanese pirates marched towards Chungcheong-do.

Chungcheong-do is relatively close to Goryeo Wanggyeong, so it is naturally very wealthy.

However, due to the arrival of the Goryeo soldiers soon, in the past, although the Japanese wanted to plunder, they did not dare to go because of the threat of Li Sung-gye.

Now, as soon as Li Chenggui died, they were no longer afraid, and even some of the Japanese were still thinking that if the raid on Chungcheongdo went well, they could also go to Wangjing in Goryeo to have a look.

It is the richest place in the whole of Goryeo!

However, when they came to the border between Chungcheong-do and Gyeongsang-do, the Japanese were surprised to find an elite army in front of them.

Among them were 3,000 soldiers, all dressed in fine armor, and 1,000 men, riding war horses.

Suddenly, the eyes of the Japanese robbers turned red!

And Chen Shou and the three Goryeo magnates naturally also received a report, and there was an army of Japanese pirates not far ahead!

Chen Shou's face was overjoyed, and the three Goryeo magnates suddenly became panicked.

"I'm waiting for 9,000 soldiers, and the most of the Japanese are only 3,000, why are you so afraid?"

Noticing the faces of the Goryeo magnates, Chen Shou looked disdainful.

For their own safety, they have increased the number of 3,000 Goryeo soldiers to 6,000.

Unexpectedly, before the war is fought, I began to be afraid!

No wonder the Japanese are so fond of plundering the Koreans!
