Chapter 194 I will become the boss if I don't accept the net again!
Chapter 198 Zhu Di: King Qi will not deceive me!
It turns out that officials from the Eighth Route Army in North Korea are now confused.
They didn't react to anything and the country perished?
Gyeonggi Province fell completely, and Kaijing became the Ming Dynasty's base in Goryeo Province. Others destroyed the country by gradually encroaching, but King Qi destroyed the country directly from the inside.
The Liaodong Army began to take over North Korea's Eighth Route Army. The local officials and generals struggled to resist for a minute before surrendering.
What else is there to fight?
The royal family of the Li Dynasty is dead, who will they fight for if they continue to resist?
Zhu Gaojie successfully took over the entire territory of North Korea, declared the collapse of North Korea and changed it to Koryo Province.
The news reached Jinling City in the Ming Dynasty, and officials in the capital were in a panic.
What year and month is it now?
February of the 14th year of Yongle.
When did King Qi go to Liaodong?
October of the thirteenth year of Yongle.
In four months, King Qi destroyed a country and added another province to Ming Dynasty?
…
But did Zhu Gaojie really do nothing?
He is the one in power and the one with the sword.
Power is also responsibility.
Tang Cheng smiled and said nothing. He looked at the smile on Zhu Di's lips and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Tell the officials in the DPRK that there will be a big banquet in front of Fengtian Palace tonight, and I will entertain everyone!"
——He has served Zhu Di for decades, and this is the first time he has seen Zhu Di so happy since Queen Xu died of illness.
"Okay! King Qi sincerely doesn't deceive me. When he told me that he would destroy the two countries in ten months, I thought he was bragging. Now that he will destroy North Korea in four months, King Qi was still humble at first!"
Zhu Di closed his eyes and said softly, "Not only can he win battles, but the most important thing is that he can win battles without spending money, and he even makes money. I couldn't even think about this before. Every time after a battle,
I don’t even dare to look at the bill given by the Ministry of Revenue. Now it’s good, with King Qi going to fight for me, the Ministry of Revenue and I can feel at ease.”
…
This credit was enough for Liu Rong to obtain a hereditary title.
"This slave takes the order."
The old man was very happy, and Tang Cheng, the eunuch next to him, also rejoiced: "King Qi fought beautifully, and Xia Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance must be very happy as well."
What he carries is the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, he ended up living a life he hated, but he had no regrets.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel very happy after reading the military report sent from North Korea.
"Xia Shangshu is an important minister, which is really admirable." Tang Chengdao.
"Wait!"
Tang Cheng was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped again.
There is nothing surprising in the content of the first half of this meeting. It is nothing more than discussing how to distribute military merits to comfort the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the troops.
Zhu Di had a smile on his lips and felt relieved.
On Zhu Di's body, he was burdened with heavy pressure like a towering mountain.
None of these things would be put on the table, which gave everyone the illusion that King Qi won easily.
Could it be any more outrageous?
It was so difficult for the Sui and Tang Dynasties to conquer Goguryeo. How come it seems that King Qi destroyed Korea without doing anything?
Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's forget about the big banquet. Such a banquet will cost an unknown amount of money. Save whatever you can. If you keep this money, King Qi can prepare more when he goes to war."
Two days of food and fodder.”
Speaking of Xia Yuanji, Zhu Di curled his lips and said, "But I also understand that Xia Yuanji is in charge of the household department and manages the world's money. He is a logistician who fights wars. Whenever the Ming Dynasty goes to war, the national treasury must be in deficit. Xia Yuanji does not pretend to be three people in his heart.
The copper coins of Gua Liang Zao are the hearts and minds of the people in the world. With this person here, Yongle can go to war with peace of mind."
At first, King Zhu Di of Yan was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he refused to accept anyone and could do whatever he wanted. Now he wished he could break a copper plate into two pieces and use it.
He knew clearly in his heart that every time he fought, he was consuming the country's power. Even though the Yongle Dynasty was prosperous, it could not withstand constant struggle. Sooner or later, the country's power would be depleted. But he still fought and refused to conquer those foreign races.
How can a country develop peacefully?
Every time he fights a battle, future generations will have one less battle to fight.
Tang Cheng listened on the side and suddenly felt a little sad.
He is so happy about his success, not for his own vanity, he just wants to tell the world one thing: I am no worse than anyone else in this world.
Zhu Di suddenly became happy: "The battle that King Qi fought this time was completed in four months. In fact, the time to send troops was only a few days, and the national treasury did not allocate much military supplies at all. King Qi gave North Korea's treasury
I copied it, checked the war gains and consumption, and found out where there was a deficit, and a lot of profit was made. Not only that, the country of Korea was transformed into Koryo Province, and the Ming Dynasty gained another province's taxes. What else could Lao Xia say?
I’m afraid I wish King Qi would continue to fight! Haha!”
Although he did not have any outstanding performance in this battle to destroy the country, the army led by King Qi was their Liaodong Army. With King Qi as a boss, the rest of the people only need to follow King Qi's command to complete the order, and they will eventually be able to get away with it.
Get the credit.
This is also the reason why Zhu Di appointed Xia Yuanji as the Minister of Household Affairs. If not for this, Xia Yuanji's stingy character, opening his mouth and keeping silent has no money, and the emperor would not give him face. According to Zhu Di's temper, even if Xia Yuanji is not beheaded,
Xia Laoji had already been dismissed from his position long ago, let alone re-employed. "King Qi, you always bring surprises to me."
In the soft and silent rain, it seems that nothing has been done, but in fact the work has been completed. The battlefield behind enemy lines is all about silence, and it is a matter of who's brain turns faster and whose calculation is deeper.
Just because he is so happy with his achievements does not mean that Zhu Di does not cherish the people's strength.
Judging from the results, this is indeed the case.
He had supported the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty with his body. He was very tired and devoted all his energy to the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to fight with countless people and eradicate all the enemies.
Some people say that Zhu Di was an emperor who loved great achievements and never cared about the power of the people. It is true that he loved great achievements. He conquered numerous conquests in his life, built canals, moved the capital to Shuntian, and compiled the Yongle Grand Ceremony...
Everyone had unconcealable smiles on their faces, and among them Liu Rong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, smiled the happiest person.
"Yes, that Mr. Xia, every time I go on an expedition, he is so picky that he doesn't want to give me money."
But now, he can finally unload his burden and hand over his responsibilities to King Qi. He no longer has to walk alone on the dark road. In front of his eyes is the long-lost light, a ray of light in the cold night.
Warm dawn.
At the meeting in Gyeonggi Prefecture of Koryo Province, Zhu Gaojie sat at the main seat. The other participants included Lu Chaoyang, Zheng He, Su Wu, Liu Rong and others, all of whom are senior officials and generals in Koryo Province today.
However, halfway through the meeting, Zhu Gaojie suddenly changed the subject and said, "Let's discuss the plan to attack Japan now!"
Everyone was stunned. They thought that after annexing North Korea this time, King Qi's journey would have a certain cooling-off period.
It was certain to attack the Japanese country. This was part of the plan, but they didn't expect that King Qi would not rest at all after conquering North Korea and directly pointed the finger at the Japanese country!
