Chapter 231: Fusang entered Goryeo, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Mengyuan and paid money
"This is true, but not for a short time."
"I've been doing chemical industry all this time, and the cultivation of related talents will take a short time, Dad, instead of looking forward to this, it's better to wait for Meng Yuan to help us bring the goods, not to buy the goods."
"After all, the population of the major khanates west of Mengyuan is not a small number, and it is also a huge market."
Xiao Han said.
"Huh?"
"Isn't Meng Yuan making our Daming's money?"
"What do you mean by helping us sell goods?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.
"Uh..."
"Dad, think about it differently, Meng Yuan sells our goods, we also make money, Meng Yuan has more demand, and we make more money."
"Isn't this Meng Yuan helping us sell goods?"
Xiao Han said.
"Well, that makes sense."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and nodded.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the British Duke!"
"Goryeo urgently reported that Fusang suddenly launched an army of 200,000 and raided Goryeo, and the Goryeo general Li Chenggui couldn't defend it and had already lost dozens of cities?"
"Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, is sending an envoy to our Daming market in Uliangha to ask General Lanyu for help."
While the father and son were talking, Jiang You rushed in and spoke.
"Huh?"
"Humph!"
"Goryeo isn't a subject country of our Ming Dynasty, is it?"
"They are still Meng Yuan's subordinates in name, how can they lick their faces and ask our Daming for help?"
"Command Lan Yu to drive the messenger of Goryeo back."
Dean Zhu snorted coldly.
"Daddy."
"I think it's okay."
Xiao Han frowned slightly, and then spoke.
"Wind and snow."
"What are you talking about?"
"Goryeo is a vassal state of Mengyuan, and we will send troops to help Mengyuan fight?"
Zhu Biao was also a little dissatisfied.
"That's what you think."
"Now Wuliangha is already the back garden of our Daming, and Wang Qi of Goryeo can't contact Meng Yuan, so he can only gamble nearby and ask our Daming for help."
"If we don't send troops, then a large area of land in Goryeo will be cheapened by the Fusang Wako."
"Rather than this, it is better to send troops directly to Goryeo, after all, it is easy to invite God and send God, he Goryeo invited our Ming soldiers to go in, and then he wanted us to leave, but it was not easy."
"At that time, our Ming Dynasty will control Goryeo commerce and garrison troops in Goryeo, even if Goryeo does not sever relations with Meng Yuan and sign a subsidiary treaty with our Ming Dynasty, it is actually already a subject country of our Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, there are people who understand in Goryeo, even if Wang Qi is determined to go with Meng Yuan to the end, those people below will not agree."
"For example, that Li Chenggui, if he really reaches that point, nine times out of ten he will mutiny and seize the throne and worship our Daming."
Xiao Han pointed to Goryeo on the map in the room and said.
"Here's the thing."
"But we clearly sent troops to help Meng Yuan fight, and we are not happy."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, as the Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang is still clear about the stakes.
It's just that I don't want to do this from the bottom of my heart.
He needs to give himself a reason to agree to maintain the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's easy."
"When the time comes, while stationing troops on the border of Goryeo, we will directly send the distress letter sent by the Goryeo envoy to Helin City, let Meng Yuan pay for the army, and ask us Daming to help."
"Anyway, now Emperor Xuanguang is looking forward to picking up food from our Daming Mutual Market, a little military spending, or to support their Mengyuan vassal country, even if he knows in his heart that this is money to push Goryeo to our Daming, he has to pinch his nose and admit it."
"After all, compared to the benefits that can be obtained from transshipment, Emperor Xuanguang is still willing to pay for some military expenses."
"This move can not only earn enough reputation for our Daming, but also get face."
"It can also exacerbate the conflict between Emperor Xuanguang and the nobles of Mengyuan, reduce the benefits that transshipment can bring to Mengyuan, and make our northern Ming realm sit back and relax."
Xiao Han pinched his chin.
"In this way, if Meng Yuan can agree, then there is indeed no problem, but the question is whether Meng Yuan will really agree?"
Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.
"Yes."
"The nobles of Mengyuan will object, but Emperor Xuanguang, who holds the military power, must indeed be inclined to accept our proposal from the Ming Dynasty."
"As long as he makes a decision, even if the Mengyuan aristocratic group is angry to death, he will have to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach."
"Especially, this matter is not completely without benefits for Emperor Xuanguang, who was supposed to transfer the goods of our Ming Dynasty, and he, the emperor, will take the lion's share."
"Now, our Ming Dynasty proposes that Meng Yuan support military spending, and Emperor Xuanguang can also take this opportunity to further weaken the power of the major clans of those Meng Yuan nobles and strengthen his control over the grassland."
"It makes sense that he has no reason to refuse, after all, this person is not without ambition, but he just doesn't have the ability to match it."
Xiao Han said.
"So, that's true."
"No matter what, we will not lose, it is indeed worth moving."
Zhu Yuanzhang is headed, and his face is about to arrive, so Emperor Hongwu is not indecisive.
Tugruk dynasty.
Liang Guo's western front is passed.
This is a pass since the founding of Wanshanhou, which has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build, although the construction time is still short, and it has not yet been completed, but it has also had a good defense capability.
From the name of this pass, it can be seen that the ambition of Wanshanhou is not limited to the seven states of the Liang State.
Wanshanhou planned to use this pass to block the many lords of Guanxi for two to three years, and when the Liang State was operational and digested the existing territory, it was the day when Wanshanhou continued to advance westward.
The purpose of this level is to attack, not defend!
Advancing and passing, Wan Shanhou, Zhou Dexing, and Xiao Wu stood at the head of the city, looking at the black and oppressive coalition camp in the distance, but their faces were fearless.
"Surrender, kings."
"As long as you are willing to cut off the title of emperor and submit to our great majesty, your majesty will recognize your lordship!"
At the bottom of the city, a messenger sent by Ben rode a horse and spoke in a loud voice.
Originally, it was intended to directly sweep away Wanshanhou, but when he saw the artillery on the Qianguan and Guancheng built after Wanshan in a short period of time, he was intimidated.
There are only so many troops in his lineage, which are used to suppress the princes, based on the Tughluk dynasty, and sit on the throne, and he is not willing to waste these precious "elite troops" on attacking a pass that is difficult to fight at first glance.
As long as Wan Shanhou gives him a face and admits that he is a courtier of him, the co-lord of Tugruk, then he will also borrow the slope to get off the donkey, canonize it, and then retreat.
I don't even care if the seven princely states follow Wanshan and mix.
There are many small groups among the lords of the princely states, and there are not many after more than 10,000 mountains, and there are many after 10,000 mountains.
As for the interracial?
Laugh to death, how can they have locals who are the masters of the Tugruk dynasty?
The locals live at the bottom of the ladder.
Anyway, everyone is from outside, but they are all eyeing this piece of fat, giving each other a face, why do you need to fight to death?
Ben thought so, and he thought that if Wan Shanhou was smart enough, he would definitely agree to his request, and even the national letter for canonization was ready.
It's a pity that Wan Shanhou, as a person who was recognized by Xiao Han and had the ability to make trouble, how could he be so easy to co-dominate with Ben.
"Go back and tell your majesty!"
"He is an emperor, and I am also an emperor."
"It's impossible to cut off the emperor's name, don't look at the number of people you look at, in my eyes it's just a chicken and a dog."
"If he had the courage, he would have attacked the city to see if you had more men, or if I had a strong advance."
Wan Shanhou snorted coldly and said directly.
"Wanwang, everyone can live in harmony, so why bother to make yourself uncomfortable?"
"Our army is hundreds of thousands, once the city is attacked, it will only be a moment to break through and capture you."
"Wouldn't it be nice to keep each other decent?"
"I advise kings, do it in moderation!"
The envoy looked at the ten thousand mountains on the head of the city and said unwillingly.
"Fire!"
Wan Shanhou directly ignored the envoy and ordered to open fire directly.
Are you kidding.
Even if the other party doesn't come to fight him, Wan Shanhou still plans to mess up the Tughluk Dynasty and create opportunities for himself.
Now that it is sent to the door, how can the queen of Wanshan let go of the opportunity to weaken the majesty of Ben, the Tughluk Emperor?
He just wants to make this so-called great emperor who has expanded his territory for thousands of miles understand that your old man is still far from the real emperor.
As long as this battle is held up by Wanshanhou, then the major lords of the Tugluk Dynasty will feel that this is nothing more than this, and they will fall back into the situation of separating the princes, which is what Wanshanhou must find an opportunity to do anyway.
Bang!
Tugruk coalition army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ben smashed the cup in his hand fiercely.
"Where did you come from, why do you have to get along with me?"
"Obviously, you can not fight, could it be that the forces under his hands are blowing in the wind?"
"Isn't it distressing at all?"
Ben spoke in annoyance.
vented, but also slowly calmed down.
Now, a dilemma was in front of him.
First, when he ordered the siege of the city, the losses of his troops would definitely not be small, and they would not necessarily be able to take them down.
Second, he left in disrepute, and the princely lords who were subdued by him returned to a situation where they were almost separated.
Either result is something I don't want to see.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that in fact, we have a third choice."
Inside the tent, Ben's counselor, Patrol spoke.
"How?"
"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll cut off your head!"
Ben, who was irritable, spoke impatiently.
"It's simple."
"Since all we need is an excuse to retreat, we give it to ourselves."
"If he doesn't cut off the emperor's title after Wanshan, he won't cut it, but it is true that the two countries are in Tugluk, so why not directly canonize Wanshanhou as the emperor of the subordinate empire?"
"He said he was, and we won't refute it, admit that he is."
"In this way, it is impossible for Wanshan Empress to refuse, because it is impossible for him to deny his identity as emperor."
Patrol said to Ben.
