"Before I leave, Your Majesty asked me to ask everyone in the country, does anyone still remember the Ming Dynasty's kindness to Korea for more than two hundred years? Do you still remember the kindness of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty to Korea?"
"North Korea rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and even sent troops to help the Qing captives attack the Ming Dynasty. Do all the people in Korea understand what etiquette and integrity are? Do they still have the heart to repay their kindness?!"
"North Korea is doing things like this. Does the Ming Dynasty King need to teach everyone in North Korea and the vassal countries what they should do?!"
Liao Zhou asked sternly, his voice full of coldness and dignity.
Those eyes were full of righteousness and swept over the faces of all the civil and military officials in North Korea. Their eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see into the deepest parts of people's hearts.
The civil and military personnel of North Korea were a little embarrassed when he looked at them.
Because the Ming Dynasty's kindness to Korea in rebuilding was not just talk.
When the Japanese invaders invaded Korea, if the Ming Dynasty had not mobilized the border troops from Liaodong Town to fight against the Japanese, Korea would have been destroyed by now.
But the Ming Dynasty had just helped North Korea drive away the Japanese pirates and restored the country.
North Korea surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty shortly afterwards, only twenty or thirty years apart.
Everyone in North Korea needs to be ashamed. Now that it is mentioned, they will naturally feel embarrassed!
Faced with Liao Zhou's rebuke, no one in North Korea's civil and military circles dared to stand up and refute.
But not only because of embarrassment, but also because of Liao Zhou's threat.
The King of Ming Dynasty came to teach the vassal states of North Korea what to do, which is the same as directly threatening to send troops to attack North Korea.
Now, no one dares to talk nonsense!
I was afraid that if I didn't say anything right, I would really call Master Ming.
With the Ming Dynasty's powerful navy, conquering North Korea was really a simple matter.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty can follow the Han River at any time and directly attack Seoul, the capital of Korea!
At that time, with the Ming Dynasty's huge influence on North Korea, it is unrealistic to directly annex North Korea.
But it is really not difficult to establish another Korean king!
After being a vassal for more than two hundred years, North Korea's mentality towards the Ming Dynasty was very complicated.
Faced with Liao Zhou's rebuke, King Li Di of Korea finally stood up and said.
"We in North Korea deeply regret the wrong things we did back then."
"Please also ask the angels to come to the emperor and give me a chance for everyone in Korea to atone for their sins!"
"Don't use weapons violently!"
"North Korea, as the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty, now realizes its mistake and just wants a chance to atone for its sins!"
"Please let the angels make it happen!"
After saying this, Li Di stood up from the throne of the King of Korea, and then bowed his head to Liao Yiyi to the end.
Li Di's attitude was very low.
Because he was really afraid that Ming Dynasty would launch troops against North Korea.
If the Ming Dynasty launched troops against North Korea, his throne would most likely be unstable.
On the contrary, the civil and military ministers of North Korea did not care much about this.
Faced with Liao Zhou's rebuke and Li Fen's submission, they all just looked at their noses and noses, pretending not to see anything.
When Liao Zhou saw that the North Korean king had surrendered, his worried heart relaxed.
Although when he reprimanded the civil and military ministers of North Korea on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, he acted with awe and fearlessness.
But how could he really not be afraid at all?
This is North Korea, or the Royal Palace of North Korea!
It is not impossible that North Korea's civil and military ministers would become angry because of his scolding and directly order him to be beheaded.
When the time comes, even the Ming Dynasty will send troops to Korea to avenge him.
But that can't save his life!
Now that the king of Korea has relented, Liao Zhou naturally got off the donkey and said:
"The Emperor is forgiving and is not prepared to pursue North Korea for its previous sins of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty!"
"But North Korea must atone for its sins!"
Hearing this, Li Di felt relieved and asked.
"The Ming Dynasty needs North Korea to atone for its sins. Please ask the angel to explain clearly!"
Liao Zhou spoke.
"The Ming Dynasty needs North Korea to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty in the next Northern Expedition and contribute to the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. This is also the opportunity that the Ming Dynasty gives North Korea to atone for its sins."
When Li Di heard this, he said with a troubled expression.
"The angels also know that the Northern soldiers are powerful, but our Korean soldiers have never been of much use."
"It's not that North Korea doesn't want to send troops to accompany the superior country in the war, it's just that we are afraid that when our Korean soldiers arrive on the battlefield, they will hinder the heavenly troops of the superior country!"
Li Di's words were not just words.
The combat effectiveness of the Korean soldiers is well known, and they are probably not even as good as the guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty.
If it really comes to the battlefield, he will be an absolute pig teammate.
On the battlefield in Wanli to aid Korea, the performance of the Korean soldiers can only be said to be that they understand everything.
He does a lot of things to deceive his teammates!
Basically, after several years of anti-Japanese war, the Ming army has always been the main force.
Except for the outstanding performance of Yi Sun-shin and a few others, the rest of the North Korean troops were the type who disliked them being in the way.
Li Di was afraid that if his side sent people to join the war to help Ming Dynasty, the North Korean army would trap the Ming army on the battlefield, and Ming Dynasty would blame it again...
Tsk tsk, then why not just explain the matter clearly!
After hearing this, Liao Zhou showed an expression that showed he had known this before and said.
"Your Majesty knows the king's concerns!"
"So, Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is not planning to drag the Korean army to the battlefield."
"It's just that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to open up the Liaodong battlefield and burn the war to the rear of the Jiannu. We need some help from North Korea, that's all."
Li Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.
"I wonder what kind of help Ming Dynasty needs? If we in North Korea can do it, we will do our best!"
However, as soon as Li Di finished speaking, someone in the court hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace stood up and objected.
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Our country, North Korea, is poor and has a weak military. No matter where it is in the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it is vulnerable."
"If the king decides to help the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the Qing Dynasty blames it and sends troops to attack, what should we, North Korea, do?"
"Aren't we going to drag millions of people in North Korea into the flames of war again to face the Qing Dynasty's butcher knife?"
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
After saying that, the man bowed to Liao Zhou and saluted.
"Please, angels, take pity on me, a common man from North Korea, and don't force me from North Korea to do that thing of using a mantis' arm as a chariot!"
When Liao Zhou heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he said in a bad tone.
"Why, are you, North Korea, afraid of the Qing Dynasty's conquest? Are you not afraid of my Ming Dynasty's conquest?"
"If everyone in North Korea is as ruthless as you, then North Korea can be removed from the country that Emperor Taizu personally decided to not conquer!"
"If I, the Ming Dynasty, had been kind to North Korea for more than 200 years, even if I helped North Korea resist the invasion of Japanese pirates and restored the country, I would not be able to get North Korea's gratitude in return."
"Then I, the Ming Dynasty, can only use weapons to comfort the heroic souls of the Ming Dynasty soldiers who died in the battle to aid Korea and resist the Japanese!"
