Chapter 180 Hutchison: Do you want to play so big?
"This is?"
Old Zhu Di frowned, his expression slightly condensed.
Zhu Laosi's expression instantly became solemn, he stopped holding the chopsticks and looked at the reflected scene in his eyes.
Soaring high in the sky, through the lingering clouds and mist, you can overlook the land below.
The entire territory of East Asia is clearly visible to the eye.
Ji Boying used projection mode to show the war that took place on the Korean Peninsula, starting from the Qin and Han Dynasties, in front of the eyes of Lao Zhu and the others at an extremely fast time flow.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the four counties of the peninsula were established in the conquest of the peninsula. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, nine conquests were made against Goguryeo, and nine Mongolian conquests were made against Goguryeo...
"What my brother wants to show is the importance of the peninsula."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath.
Almost counting, from the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, except for the Song Dynasty, which lost the sixteen states of Yanyun and had no chance to border the peninsula, the other dynasties have launched more or less conquests on the peninsula.
Among them, the Han, Tang, and Yuan dynasties with powerful military forces all conquered the peninsula, directly annexed the territory, and established corresponding institutions for management, including the four counties of the Han Dynasty, the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Province of the Yuan Dynasty.<
/p>
"Yeah."
Ji Boying just nodded slightly and glanced at Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi from the corner of his eyes.
"You are all the best strategists in the world. You should know that no matter what era it is, the Korean Peninsula is the east gate of China. With North Korea as the center, it can radiate to the entire East Asia."
"If North Korea is stable, China will be safe; if North Korea is in danger, China will be in danger."
Even in the modernization of later generations, this is still the case.
"This is the importance of strategic location."
"Furthermore, North Korea has several ports that are ice-free all year round. In the Age of Discovery, these ports that are ice-free all year round are excellent choices whether they are used for trade or military ports."
"In addition, I can tell you one more thing."
"In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji's troops conquered Pyongyang, and North Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The east gate of the Ming Dynasty was completely opened. The core reason why Huang Taiji was able to take over North Korea so easily was that the North Korean military was too weak to wait.
Not as good as the Ming Dynasty’s rush to help.”
"Even in the war between Japan and Korea, the entire territory of Korea was taken over in a short period of time."
Deng.
Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi both looked tense.
"If the Ming Dynasty Iron Army was stationed on the peninsula, it would be a different situation."
"Now, let me settle a score for you two."
"Is it more difficult and more expensive to strengthen the defense of the Korean Peninsula, or is it more difficult and more expensive to wait until the Korean Peninsula is conquered and then send troops to regain it?"
The words fell.
Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi frowned even more tightly.
Anyone with a brain will know which one to choose.
The core reason why Wanli's Three Major Expeditions were able to defeat Xiaotian and regain the Korean Peninsula was that Xiaotian was too useless, but Huang Taiji and the tsarist empire that may appear in the future are not short-legged Xiaotian.
"However, as Zhu Laosi said before, occupying a cold land, whether it is development or expenditure, will be detrimental to the country."
In fact, there are still many mines in North Korea, but these things are of little significance to Ming Dynasty, whose technology has not yet started, so Ji Boying is too lazy to introduce them.
"So, you have another choice."
Ji Bo smiled at the corner of his eagle mouth.
Swish.
The surrounding scenery disappeared, and everything returned to the elegant room on the top of the pavilion, and the aroma of the food and wine on the table filled your nose.
"Another option?"
Old Zhu Di looked stunned and asked subconsciously.
"I wonder which option the immortal master is talking about?"
During Lao Zhu Di's Yongle Dynasty, especially in Southeast Asia, Lao Zhu Di had already played the game of cupping in the dynasties of all nations.
As the eldest brother of his younger brothers, Lao Zhu Di certainly couldn't save his dignity and killed his number one younger brother, North Korea, for no reason.
After all, once the point is extinguished.
When the rest of the younger brothers see this, they will all be in danger, and it will be difficult for this boss to become the boss.
"Military base."
Ji Boying spoke calmly.
‘Military base?’
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi were all stunned. It was the first time for the three of them to hear this word, and doubts appeared on their faces.
"Yes."
"In the name of the overlord's protection of the vassal state, troops are stationed in North Korea. All military expenses and food are provided jointly by North Korea and the Ming Dynasty. As for the proportion of military expenditures between the two countries, they can be negotiated."
"Twenty-eight, or nineteen, either way is fine."
As soon as the words came out.
Old Zhu Di’s eyes lit up instantly!
"It's really a good idea!"
"In this way, our Ming Dynasty can not only preserve the reputation of the suzerain state and completely bring North Korea under control, but also gain the moral integrity to help defend the vassal state. It is simply killing two birds with one stone."
Lao Zhu also laughed.
"Brother is still thoughtful."
Zhu Laosi frowned.
"Master Immortal, I have a question. If North Korea is allowed to spend military expenditures, will it cause disputes?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyes turned cold and he snorted.
"The hawkers in the market still have to pay protection fees, but our Ming Dynasty defends the territory and borders of a vassal state, so why don't we care about the food?!"
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.
He seemed to see the shadow of Yingjiang in Lao Zhu.
"If there is nothing else, please go back."
Ji Boying waved his hand.
Zhu Laosi nodded, stood up first, saluted to Ji Boying and Lao Zhu, then looked into Lao Zhu Di's eyes, and then the wind chime on his waist swayed, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
As for Old Zhu Di, the person here had just stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
With one sentence, Lao Zhu Di was stopped.
From the corner of his eye, Ji Boying saw Emperor Xuande squatting at the door. This kid's legs were probably numb from squatting.
Suddenly I remembered that there was one thing that I and Xuande Zhu Zhanji had not done yet.
Now that everyone is here, let’s solve it all at once.
"Wuyi, come in."
One word.
Emperor Xuande, who was squatting outside the door to watch some of his fathers repair the door, quickly dusted himself off, got up, and quickly entered the private room.
After entering the door, Emperor Xuande bowed several times respectfully.
"Zhanji, what's the matter with you?"
Old Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile. He liked the great saint grandson from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you all ready?"
Ji Boying raised his eyes to look at Emperor Xuande and asked lightly.
Emperor Xuande was startled and spoke repeatedly.
"Back to the Immortal Master, I have already started preparations since I went back last time. Everything is ready now, just waiting for the Immortal Master to arrive!"
Emperor Xuande took a deep breath, feeling panicked inside.
Even the emperor can't bear to be poked in the spine and scolded every day.
These days, he sees officials walking around in circles.
"Yeah."
"Everyone happens to be here, so let's go together."
Ji Boying's eyes glanced at Emperor Hong Xi who was sitting outside and resting. After all, he had just survived a life and death battle and was in poor health. Hong Xi Xiaozhu took over the job.
The words fell.
The figures of several people disappeared on the spot.
Along with this, there is also Emperor Hong Xi outside the private room.
"Dad, hand me a hammer."
Hong Xi Xiaozhu was repairing the door panel, sweating profusely. After blurting out his words, he realized that no one was paying attention to him. He subconsciously looked back and saw that there was no trace of his father anywhere.
Others.
Fatty Jianwen and Fatty Yongle were startled. Their eyes subconsciously looked at the elegant room and landed on the dishes on the table.
Then, they looked at each other.
‘Eat a little, no one should notice...’
…………………………
Xuande time and space.
It is evening at the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment.
There are already people standing around the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
Hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and nobles, as well as the 13 most respected people in the country, are arranged in a dense manner according to their respective status.
And in the front row, there are six ministers, nine ministers, and three ministers in the cabinet.
And it is obvious that Husky, the chief minister of the cabinet, has been squeezed out.
Because at this moment, Husky was standing alone in the front. Yang Rong and Yang Pu were both half a foot away from him, for fear of getting involved with Yang Shiqi and causing trouble.
As for other ministers and ministers, few of them approached Yang Shiqi.
At this time, the entire crowd had already begun to commotion, and the noise continued. After all, they had been gathering here for many hours, from noon to evening, and they had not yet waited for His Majesty the Emperor to appear.
Where is the promised immortal? Are you just fooling people like this?!
If it weren't for the Jin Yiwei who suppressed them at the scene, I'm afraid this group of civil and military officials would have been in chaos.
‘Why hasn’t Your Majesty invited the immortal master yet?!’
Yang Shiqi felt like a light was on his back at this moment. He could imagine the thousands of pairs of eyes behind him staring at him, wanting to eat him alive.
Niang Xipi.
Since Yongle, how many civil servant rights have I won for you bunch of bastards from the nobles? Otherwise, how could you guys have such a good life?!
It's better for you white-eyed wolves. Now that you are living a comfortable life, you are pointing at me and scolding me. You are really a bunch of wolf-hearted things.
What’s more, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, from now on there will be no more three poplars on this earth. You two-headed grass will change your surname to grass from now on.
Just when Husky was feeling angry and thinking wildly.
"Yang Shiqi, you unscrupulous sycophant who deceives the emperor, you deserve to die! You will be reviled for eternity!"
A voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, and it sounded like a loud voice.
In an instant, the entire Temple of Heaven and Earth was like a pot of boiling water. After the first bubble, it started to gurgling wildly.
Especially the public speaking officials in various disciplines, all of them are people with bad words, and it is hard to hear anything.
"You shameless person actually fabricated something about the immortal giving huskies as a special gift. From our point of view, you Yang Shiqi is just a dog beside the emperor!"
"You have deceived your Majesty and are not a minister of others. What qualifications do you have to hold the position of chief minister of the cabinet? Why don't you go home and feed the pigs!"
"Everyone, please listen to me. Your Majesty has fallen into such a foolish place now because of Yang Shiqi's slander. In other words, as long as Yang Shiqi is killed, your Majesty can return to the right path."<
/p>
Yang Shiqi:???Isn’t that too much?!
"Qing Jun, kill Husky!"
I don’t know who it was, but I shouted one word.
In an instant, these words seemed to hit the hearts of these scholar-bureaucrats.
They all shouted loudly and shouted slogans.
"Qingjun's side!"
"Kill the Huskies!"
"Support the country and kill the sycophants!"
"Behead the husky dog!"
"………………"
One voice after another echoed in the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
Yang Rong and Yang Pu, the two cabinet ministers, glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes, both frowning.
Neither of them expected that the situation would evolve to this point. All the officials would focus their anger on Yang Shiqi, and the anger of the crowd could not be controlled at all.
A large number of Jin Yiwei rushed up to block the group of civil and military officials, and at the same time surrounded Yang Shiqi for protection.
Commander Liu Mian of the Jin Yiwei quickly stepped forward, with dense cold sweat on his forehead.
If the chief minister of the cabinet is beaten to death by hundreds of officials in this altar of heaven and earth...
This kind of strange news is probably unprecedented and unprecedented. Once the emperor blames it, he, the commander of the Imperial Guard, will probably be completely blamed for it.
But.
These officials cannot be moved without His Majesty’s holy instructions.
The Jin Yiwei during the Xuande period were not that arrogant. In addition, Liu Mian had always been cautious, and in the spirit of doing things without causing trouble, he took it one day at a time.
"Lao Ha Ge."
Ever since Yang Shiqi shouted the slogan "Immortal gave me a husky", interested people changed the title and called Yang Shiqi Mr. Ha Ge as a sign of respect, and Yang Shiqi happily accepted it.
"It is difficult for officials to control their emotions. In case of unexpected events, I would like to ask Mr. Ha Ge to take shelter temporarily."
Liu Mian said solemnly, he didn't want anything to happen to Yang Shiqi. If something happened to Yang Shiqi, he would be done with it.
"I am the chief minister of the cabinet. How can I temporarily avoid the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven?!"
Yang Shiqi's face became angry.
He was turned into a dog by hundreds of officials and his eighteen generations of ancestors were betrayed. He couldn't bear it anymore.
Damn it.
I work very hard to benefit you, and yet you still call me a sycophant!
QNMLGB!
A fold.
When he found that the angle was not good, Yang Shiqi even climbed a few stairs to face the angry officials and ministers.
"A fairy will definitely come today. If you don't believe it, you can take a gamble!"
Give it a shout.
This group of excited officials were stunned at first, and then became excited and pushed out their favorite leaders.
If you don’t take revenge for being squeezed now, how will you wait?
Especially the members of the six departments were the most fierce and their voices rose and fell one after another.
"Jian Shangshu was a veteran of the three dynasties and a talented person among the kings. There were only ten dozen masters in the world, and Jian Gong had nine of them! This bet should be made by Jian Gong!"
"Old Minister Wang Ji is careful and bold. He dared to kill an ox with a knife when he was only seven years old. I should recommend Mr. Wang to bet!"
"The leader of my department dared to ride the wind and go to the sea at the age of five!
"I, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, dare to speak out and remonstrate to death...! I dare to kill chickens at the age of three!"
"I..."
Among the noisy voices, another topic gradually emerged, that is, who has the courage to stand up and bet with Husky, the chief minister of the cabinet. After arguing for a long time, there is still no conclusion.
Suddenly, a sound exploded.
I don’t know whether this person really admires or has hatred.
"My subordinate, the Minister, dares to eat feces!"
Yu Qian, who was having a headache because these people were messing around, was startled when he heard this, and his pupils dilated:???
How dare you eat feces? Your whole family eats feces!
Yu Qian subconsciously turned around and looked around, but he could no longer find the grandson who spoke.
Who knows.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Then, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yu Qian, and it seemed that no brave man dared to compete with him and promote Yu Qian.
"Please bet with me, the servant."
"Loser eats feces!"
Yang Shiqi's eyes twitched, do you want to play so big?
Liu Mian, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, felt relieved when he saw this. As long as they were not involved in a riot, he gave the Jin Yiwei around him a look. The Jin Yiwei immediately turned around and went straight to the manhole to pick up manure.
He found it very interesting. These scholars usually looked like literate people and had to wipe off any dust on their bodies. He didn't expect that gambling would be so serious.
Yu Qian had no choice but to stand up under the gaze of everyone.
"Yu Qian, I suggest you not to gamble."
Yang Shiqi frowned, obviously not wanting to accept such a disgusting and boring bet.
'For the world, for the Ming Dynasty, and for morality.'
Yu Qian took a deep breath and looked at Yang Shiqi.
"Gamble!"
Suddenly.
Boom.
There was a loud noise in the sky.
