The first thousand nine hundred and ninety-six chapters sent troops
The old prince finally summoned the North Korean envoys. Meeting these people was very formal. Naturally, he could not meet with the North Korean envoys at the old prince's residence. The old prince represented the emperor and summoned them at the palace. "Xuan, the envoys of North Korea are here to see you!"
As the sharp voice of the old eunuch came, the people from the North Korean mission immediately entered the palace. In the palace, in addition to the old prince sitting in the seat, there were big officials from the imperial court on both sides, and the important one was the nominal pro-military captain.
The government commander was naturally among them. The people from the North Korean mission looked at the important officials on both sides of the court. Most of them were people they had given gifts to and lobbied for, and they felt a little more at ease.
"Weak minister, by order of the King of Korea, I am here to see His Highness the Supreme Supervisor of the Celestial Empire!"
"Let's get married for free!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. This is a gift from my king, who sent me a small minister to pay tribute. This small country is short of supplies. Although the gift is small, I hope you will forgive me, Lord Supervisor!" With that, the people from the North Korean mission immediately presented the gift.
Of course it is the best thing to give to the old prince. Just those few Korean ginsengs that are more than 500 years old made Zeng Yi extremely envious. "Made, there are really a lot of good things. You should have listened at that time."
The third child, rob me on the way!"
These things alone were worth more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The old prince, who was short of money, was of course not polite and accepted these gifts with a smile.
Seeing the old prince searching for the gifts, several North Korean envoys looked at each other and immediately knelt down in front of the old prince again!
"Master Jian Guo, we still hope that the Heavenly Kingdom will make the decision for us!" With that said, the Koreans formally submitted their credentials to the old prince asking for help.
The old prince carefully read the letters of credence, and the whole palace was silent. No one spoke. After a while, the old prince put down the letters of credence, looked at the Korean envoy who was still kneeling below, sighed and said: "Get back on your feet."
!"
"The island country suddenly raised troops. As a vassal state of our DPRK, North Korea should have sent troops to assist North Korea immediately. However, our DPRK is in the current situation. Your Majesty is seriously ill. Tubo, Xixia grassland, Persia and other countries are ready to move in the Western Regions. All the imperial troops have gathered at the border to guard against foreign enemies.
, the imperial court is really unable to go out for another expedition in a short period of time." The old prince said in a rather helpless tone.
"Your Highness! The Japanese pirates' plans for North Korea are aimed at the Central Plains!" Several North Korean envoys became a little anxious when they heard what the old prince said.
The old prince waved his hand, "The barbarian land of the island country is nothing to worry about. You can rest assured that when the imperial court takes action, it will definitely help North Korea recover!"
"Your Highness! Seven of the eight Koreas have been occupied by the island nation. If China does not rescue them, all of Korea will fall into the hands of Japanese pirates!"
"Don't worry about this, your king can temporarily withdraw from our court and we can provide shelter!"
"But, Your Highness!" The people from the North Korean mission looked at Zeng Yi and others on both sides. Zeng Yi saw that the acting was almost done, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness! North Korea is my gateway to the northeast.
, once it falls into the hands of Japanese pirates, it will pose a great threat to our territory in the northeast, and I think we should send troops to help the DPRK immediately!"
As soon as Zeng Yi finished speaking, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. It costs a lot to raise troops. All the finances of our dynasty should be spent on the people of our dynasty!" After the official said, many officials
They all nodded.
The North Korean envoy was very happy to see Zeng Yi stand up, especially Zeng Yi's words. The North Koreans all looked at him gratefully, but when the official finished speaking, his face changed, and one of them quickly said:
"Your Highness! We are willing to provide part of the military expenses for the heavenly soldiers of the Celestial Empire! We also hope that Your Highness will have mercy and save all the people of Korea from the fire and water!"
"A part? I wonder what proportion North Korea can provide?" the official who objected just now said somewhat rudely.
"I, North Korea is sparsely populated, and now seven of the eight roads in the country are occupied. I really don't have much money to spare. How about half of it?" the North Korean envoy said cautiously.
"Half? Haha, Your Highness, we firmly oppose the imperial court sending troops!"
Several North Koreans turned pale and looked at each other. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, we, we are willing to use all our finances to support 80%! I hope that Your Highness, for the sake of North Korea, has always been dominated by the Celestial Empire.
Come on, save all the people of North Korea!" With that said, these North Koreans knelt down again.
Eighty percent of military expenditures, in fact, the court has already made a small profit. After all, the court has the final say in the amount of military expenditures. With North Korea's little intelligence capabilities, it would be good to give a rough estimate. This rough estimate is in the middle, but there is a lot of maneuverability.
scope.
When the ministers saw the old prince nodded slightly, they understood that the old prince had agreed to send troops to North Korea. Several ministers who had received the gifts immediately stood up and supported the sending of troops to North Korea, "The Japanese pirates' intention to pursue North Korea is in the Central Plains, and we
The troops who saved North Korea actually protected the Central Plains! I and others should send troops to North Korea!"
"Yes, North Korea is a vassal state of our dynasty. If we cannot protect the vassal state, how can we be so powerful in the world, and how can we face other vassal states? I think we should send troops to North Korea!"
If these court ministers support one thing, they can come up with ten thousand reasons. Everyone talks as if the court will perish if they don't send troops to North Korea. Zeng Yi is stunned for a moment.
, and the few ministers who were opposed to the show just now stopped talking at this time!
The old prince looked at it and said, "Where is the Minister of War?" He waved his hand and said, "Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of War?"
"Wei Chen is here!" Wan Huojing stood up immediately.
"Okay! The Ministry of War immediately ordered the Imperial Northern Army, a force of 100,000 people, to prepare to march into North Korea from now on. Once the military funds are in place, troops will be sent to North Korea immediately!"
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
"Where is the commander of the pro-military Duwei Mansion?"
"Wei Chen is here!" Zeng Yi said, imitating Wan Huojing's movements.
"I order your department to immediately investigate the information on Korean pirates!"
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Seeing that the old prince had given the order, the members of the North Korean mission finally breathed a sigh of relief, "On behalf of all the people of North Korea, we would like to express our gratitude to Your Highness. North Korea is willing to respect China as its lord forever!"
...
When they left the palace, the people from the North Korean mission kept thanking Zeng Yi and others who helped North Korea speak. Zeng Yi listened to a few words and said with a smile: "You adults, please don't be polite. Now the island country has been attacked."
Uiju, in my opinion, you should ask His Majesty the King of your country to prepare military expenditures to avoid long nights and nightmares!"
"Yes, yes, we plan to leave immediately and return to North Korea!" These North Koreans are also good people. Before they set off, they once again brought heavy gifts to thank Zeng Yi and the others. Of course, Zeng Yi was not polite and immediately attacked
