From the moment he took refuge with Li Chenggui, he was thinking about how to overthrow Goryeo. When he saw Li Chenggui, he saw that Li Chenggui's troops were in good order, so he quietly said to Li Chenggui: "The general's command is solemn, and the soldiers are in order. The general is now elite, what can't be accomplished?"
At that time, Li Chenggui asked him what he wanted to say. However, Zheng Daochuan ignored him and made an excuse: "Fight the Japanese pirates in the southeast", but in fact he wanted to help Li Chenggui overthrow Goryeo.
And Li Chenggui was naturally an idealistic and ambitious person. After several trials, after finding out that Zheng Daozhuan wanted to overthrow Goryeo, he hit it off with him and regarded him as a confidant.
This time Goryeo and Ming Dynasty were at odds with each other, and they wanted to take advantage of the struggle between Ming Dynasty and Beiyuan Dynasty to capture Liaodong. This was also the result of Zheng Daochuan's many plans.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of man. Even Zheng Daozhuan did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would send a navy directly to the capital. As a result, the troops that were supposed to be transferred to Liaodong were instead transferred to Kaijing.
"What should I do now, general?" Encountering such a big change, Li Chenggui felt huge loss and loss of control.
Zheng Daochuan smiled and said: "Since the king has transferred the general to the capital, then the general can go. As long as the Eighth Route Army is in the hands of the general, it is not the same anywhere?"
"You mean, let's start the uprising directly in Kaijing?" Thinking of this, Li Chenggui couldn't help but feel excited. He felt that Zheng Dao's legend was correct. He had been preparing for this day for so many years. As long as he had these eight soldiers in his hands, what was the difference between being in Kaijing and being in Liaodong?
Even in Kaijing, it would be more convenient for him to cause trouble.
But Zheng Daozhuan shook his head. Seeing Li Chenggui's confusion, he explained: "The Ming navy came too suddenly. We don't know what the Ming Dynasty means yet. Therefore, even if the general goes to Kaijing, he must act cautiously. Unless Ming Dynasty also agrees with the general’s uprising, otherwise it cannot be done.”
Li Chenggui lowered his head and frowned. After thinking for a moment, I felt that what Zheng Daochuan said was correct. Daming's attitude is now the most critical. If he can get the support of Ming Dynasty, then Li Chenggui will have no worries and can directly attack the palace with a backhand. But if Daming opposed him, he would have no choice but to endure it again.
"Okay, then let's go to Beijing first, and then wait and see what happens." Li Chenggui followed Zheng Daochuan's suggestion.
...
The majestic warship was fixed on the sea, as if a mountain was instantly surrounded on the surface.
The Ming Dynasty's intimidation is still there, but the people of Goryeo have now recovered from their initial panic. Different from the time when they were bombarded, now under the propaganda of the King of Korea, knowing that the Ming Navy did not dare to go ashore, the people no longer feared the Ming Navy. Instead, they dared to stand on the shore and constantly pointed at the warships. Clicked.
Han Du and Tang Ding sat drinking together, chatting and laughing happily.
Watching people coming and going on the beach, completely ignoring the presence of the Ming Navy. Tang Ding couldn't help but sigh: "What's going on with these people? Have the scars healed and forgotten the pain? It's only been a few days, and they dare to wander around on the beach."
Han Du smiled, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "The ignorant are fearless. The small country and the people are short-sighted. How can we know that the sky is high and the sky is high? If the superiors tell them, they will do whatever they want. As long as someone tells them, we are now Paper tiger, will they still be afraid of us if they believe it?"
Tang Ding shook his head, it was really hard to understand, "Who gave them the confidence?"
Han Du chuckled, glanced in the direction of Kaijing with disdain, and said, "Just wait, you will see when they are more confident."
Tang Ding was stunned by the profound look in his eyes. How could they be more confident? Where did they get this arrogant mentality?
...
As the Eighth Route Army soldiers gathered to open the capital, there was no movement since the Ming Navy retreated to the sea. This made King Xinyou, Cui Ying and others even more convinced that their idea was right. Ming Dynasty had never thought of starting a war with Goryeo, it was just intimidation.
Even with Pan Yichun's sincere persuasion, he could not completely antagonize the Ming Dynasty. He should immediately send an envoy to make peace with the Ming Dynasty.
But Xin You has long disliked Pan Yichun, how can he still listen to his words?
When Li Chenggui came back, King Xin Yu was even more confident.
A few days ago, Pan Yichun kept persuading the envoys who had not sent them, but in his heart Xin Yu took the initiative to send them. But he was not there to bow his head and make peace, but to reprimand Ming Dynasty.
After Pan Yichun found out, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "The country is in danger!"
On the order of King Xinyu, Zhou Yi came as an envoy to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Yi was cheered all the way and came to the seaside with endless scenery. It took a lot of effort for him to stand out from the crowd and grab the position of envoy.
When Zhou Yi came to the beach with a smile on his face, he suddenly felt embarrassed. Since Han Du ordered all Goryeo ships to be destroyed, now Goryeo can't even find a decent ship.
There are fishing boats, but Zhou Yi, the dignified envoy of Goryeo, represents the dignity of the king. How can he ride on a fishing boat?
The people who had been standing by Zhou Yi to cheer him up just now were all silent now, for fear that Zhou Yi would notice them and get into trouble.
Zhou Yi looked around and naturally knew that these people could not be counted on. After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to shout to the Ming Dynasty Navy.
Although Han Du was far away, he still vaguely heard the shouts of the people on the shore.
Tang Ding asked with a smile: "What should Brother Han do now? Since that is the Korean envoy, do we need to send a ship to pick him up?"
Han Du put down the tea cup, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully: "As soon as he shouts, I will send a boat to pick him up. Don't I want to lose face?"
Tang Ding was speechless. He had never felt that Han Du was so stingy before, even thinking about this.
Han Du has a different idea. He now represents the Ming Dynasty. If it cannot reflect the magnanimity of the Ming Dynasty, it will be an insult to the country.
Zhou Yi asked people to shout for a while, but saw no reaction from the Ming Dynasty Navy, so he had to think of another way.
Fortunately, at this time, someone next to him suggested that he could write the request on a piece of cloth so that Ming could see it.
Zhou Yi heard this and quickly asked people to prepare.
Han Du saw the people on the shore pulling out banners, and after holding up a telescope to see clearly, he chuckled and said, "It seems that this Korean envoy is also a bit quick-witted. In this case, let's send a ship to pick him up. Let's see. Let him say something."
Put down a boat and go pick up people. However, Han Du only allowed one person to board the boat and blocked all the other messy people back.
Zhou Yi had no choice but to board the boat alone to negotiate with Ming Dynasty.
