In Peiping, in the meeting hall in the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di held the imperial edict sent from Ming Dynasty with a complicated expression.
"If we really want to fight against the small country of Goryeo, I can cross the river with a partial army to break through the pass and sweep thousands of miles away." Zhu Di held the imperial edict in his hand with a ferocious expression, "I actually let that yellow-haired boy oversee the world's troops and carry out a war to destroy the country.
? He grew up in a deep palace, and he wants to go into battle and command hundreds of thousands of troops without even killing a chicken. It is simply child's play! He makes nonsense, and the old man also follows suit! The old man dotes on his grandson, and he really loves him to no end!"
As he spoke, Zhu Di stood up angrily, "Besides, he thought Goryeo was a soft dough that could be kneaded casually? The war was dangerous, and it didn't matter if he fell. But if he lost his power and humiliated the country, he would lose the face of the Ming Dynasty!"
There were not many people in the meeting hall. Apart from Zhu Di, there were only a few generals of the Yan vassal army and the black-clothed monk Yao Guangxiao.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. This is not nonsense! It's not pampering!" Yao Guangxiao said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty, look at what the imperial edict says. The Emperor Taisun will lead the world's troops and control the Liaodong Army to defend the King of Sai. His deputy is Ying
The Duke Fu Youde, and the army also include Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Jingchuan Marquis, Changxing Marquis, Dongshan Marquis and other veteran generals."
Saying that, Yao Guangxiao smiled again, "With the help of these old people, even if the coach is a dog, he will not be defeated! The old man wants to let the emperor's grandson lead the upright king's division and achieve unparalleled achievements. Old prince,
This is paving the way for the emperor’s grandson!”
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face became even more gloomy. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have never been so many founding heroes who participated in the expedition together. Any one of these people who can slip out is qualified to be the commander-in-chief of an army.
Military achievements, the only shortcoming of the emperor's grandson is that he has no outstanding military achievements. If he can defeat Goryeo with the help of these veterans, his reputation will surely reach its peak. By then, who in the world will dare to disobey? Who among the nine frontier fortress kings will still dare to fight?
Taking credit for one's own merits and pretending to be senior.
"The imperial edict said that our Yan vassal should mobilize 40,000 troops and horses and put them under his command, and I will also obey his orders!" Zhu Di said angrily, "I have been in the army for half my life, but I actually want to obey him?"
"There are more than 30,000 people in the capital camp, 40,000 of us, and the soldiers and horses of the 14th brother, plus the Liaodong military guards and the soldiers and horses brought by Fu Youde from Datong, hehe, there are nearly 200,000 elite soldiers. The old man did it for his eldest grandson
His military exploits are really worth the effort!"
Remember https://m in one second.
This is what makes Zhu Di the most angry and jealous. He joined the army as a young man and started as a soldier. He has been running around for so many years, but the old man has never given him such great support. Back then, with the dignity of a prince and a vassal king, he
When he went on an expedition to Liaodong with Fu Youde and others, he also had to serve as his deputy and listen to the orders of the veteran generals.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about these things!" Yao Guangxiao walked behind Zhu Di and bowed slightly, "This expedition against Goryeo is a must-win battle. The old prince first gave Goryeo a letter of credence, and then issued an imperial edict to the world.
, what we want is to establish the prestige of the emperor's grandson in front of the people of the world and the surrounding vassal states."
"No matter how high the cost, this battle will be won. Once won, the power of the emperor's grandson in the army will extend from the capital to the Liaodong frontier."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, what Yao Guangxiao said was true.
Although Zhu Yunxi has the support of a group of military generals behind him in Beijing, most of those veteran generals do not have much actual authority. Lan Yu has fallen, and the Chang family cannot dominate the army with one hand.
But once the emperor's grandson has a golden sign of conquering on behalf of the emperor, who in the army will die if he doesn't obey? He is the crown prince, and with his fingers crossed, those generals who temporarily serve under his command will be as if they have been beaten to death.
Lean up.
And after the victory, his prestige in the army is unparalleled. To put it bluntly, why did the old man kill so many heroes and no one dared to blow up the assassins? It was because of his prestige in the army. Now the old man wants to kill so many heroes.
This prestige was added to his grandson.
By then, Zhu Yunxi would have the support of a number of meritorious military generals in the court, and the loyalty of local generals outside...
"hiss!"
Zhu Dixin took a breath of air. This was like putting a tight spell on the heads of these vassal kings. If they want to attack you, they can attack you, and they will have no power to fight back.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!" Yao Guangxiao finished speaking and glanced at the surrounding Yan vassal generals.
"They are all my confidants, what can't be said?" Zhu Di frowned.
Yao Guangxiao's expression remained unchanged and he smiled without saying a word.
On one side, Zhang Yuqiufu and others stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, a thousand years old, please leave first!" After saying that, several people turned around silently and left, leaving only Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Zhu Di laughed and scolded, "Speak quickly!"
"I said that although this battle is a must-win battle, it is because the imperial court cannot afford to lose, the emperor's grandson cannot afford to lose, and your majesty cannot afford to lose!" Yao Guangxiao whispered, "However, the battle has not started yet, and everything is fine.
absolute!"
"Goryeo has some fighting strength. The Emperor Taisun has made it clear that it is a war to destroy the country. They have no reason to surrender. When hundreds of thousands of people are fighting, the battlefield situation is complicated. If Goryeo can have an elite force to directly attack the Emperor Taisun's army,
It may not be possible to turn defeat into victory.”
Zhu Di suddenly turned around, his eyes like daggers, "You mean?"
Yao Guangxiao nodded with a smile, "If the emperor's grandson dies in battle, it is the best policy. If he just loses and loses face, it is the worst policy. However, it is a good policy or a bad policy. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not win, it does not matter whether the old emperor or the emperor
Regardless of the grandson, he must find someone to take the blame for his highness, the grandson!"
"Someone must be responsible for the defeat! Since it is not the emperor's grandson who is at fault, it can only be the ministers!"
"If, with the blessing of the Buddha, something happens to the emperor's grandson, Yu Jun, haha! I think, with the temperament of the old emperor, none of these generals will survive."
"When the time comes, all the generals who contributed to the founding of the country will be wiped out, and your chance, King Yan, will come..."
Zhu Di was shocked. This monk's plan was really vicious. It could be called a desperate plan. If he really followed his plan, the heads of warriors would be everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. Those old guys would be slaughtered by the old man.
This plan is absolutely feasible. In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, the battlefield will be extremely wide, and the battle formation will stretch for hundreds of miles. As long as someone is willing, a slight gap will be exposed on the side, so that the Korean soldiers can attack...
only.............
Just as I was thinking about it, there were rapid footsteps outside.
"Who?" Zhu Di shouted displeasedly.
"Qian Sui, Goryeo has sent an envoy over and is waiting for your summons outside!"
"Look!" Yao Guangxiao smiled at Zhu Di, "I just fell asleep and someone gave me a pillow!!"
Zhu Di's expression changed, "Pass!"
A moment later, a man in his forties almost crawled in.
"My humble minister, Li Shouyin, counselor of the Goryeo Military Department, is here to see King Yan, who is a thousand years old." After saying this, the man kowtowed heavily and fearfully.
"The two countries have declared war, why do you want to see me?" Zhu Di sat upright and asked.
Li Shouyin raised his head in horror, waved his hands quickly and said, "How dare the small country Goryeo dare to go to war with the Ming Dynasty? It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" After saying that, he crawled a few steps forward and cried, "The Jurchens are harassing Goryeo's Sinuiju border.
Goryeo was forced to send troops to fight back."
"Chitose, you also know that the Jurchens are the most stubborn, unruly, and brutal. In order to maintain long-term peace and stability in Goryeo, the country has no choice but to send more troops to drive them further away!"
"I heard that all your soldiers have arrived at the Yalu River!" Zhu Di sneered, "If you go further, do you want to come from Peking?"
Li Shouyin kowtowed again and again, crying, "How dare you, a thousand years old, Goryeo! The troops arriving at the Yalu River were the actions of Goryeo's Mongolian Yuan general Wu Chi. That guy was an old minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and he sent troops to the Yalu River without permission.
In order to sow discord between Ming Dynasty and Korea."
"My lord heard that the superior country was furious and has already put that villain in prison and wants to send him to the Ming Dynasty to ask the superior country to punish him!"
"Thousand years old, I didn't know that when the Ming Dynasty's national certificate was passed to Goryeo, my lord cried bitterly, was in pain, and was full of regrets. He said that Goryeo was also a descendant of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was furious, and the only way for the Goryeo officials to die could they be exempted from their sins!"
"The Ming Dynasty treated Goryeo with deep affection. Every time Goryeo behaved disrespectfully, the Celestial Empire was tolerant and patient like a parent. Our country has realized its mistake, and the leader of the country has ordered the withdrawal of troops and the return of the captured Jurchens in Liaodong. Select all the domestic treasures,
Dedicate it to the Heavenly Dynasty and ask for forgiveness! The two countries will always be of the same mind, and Korea will be the barrier of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come. We dare not make any mistakes again!"
Crying, Li Shouyin hugged Zhu Di's thigh and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty Qiansui, as the old saying goes, nothing can be improved if you know your mistakes. Goryeo already knows its mistakes, and for the sake of the lives of the world, the country must not send troops. I, the little people of Goryeo,
, they are also human beings!”
There was no emotion on Zhu Di's face, and he said calmly, "It's too late, the court has already sent troops, and there is no turning back when the bow is fired! Besides, what's the use of talking to me about this?"
"You are King Sai of the Ming Dynasty, and your reputation is well known to the whole world. You are in charge of the Liaodong capital of the Celestial Dynasty, and you have a hundred thousand soldiers. You are the most noble vassal king in the Celestial Dynasty. I am meeting you in the name of the king, and I am asking you to say good things!"
Crying, Li Shouyin wiped his tears and continued, "If Prince Chitose is willing to speak for Goryeo, he will be Goryeo's reborn parent."
