In the third year of Hongwu's reign, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated and could not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.
Then Lao Zhu directly asked Naha to surrender and donate Liaodong with an imperial edict.
But Nahachu was one of the important ministers in the late Yuan Dynasty, although the Yuan Dynasty suffered an ugly defeat.
But his Liaodong was fine, so he took Lao Zhu's words as a fart.
But there was a man named Liu Yi who took Liaoyang Province to join the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Hongwu. Lao Zhu was very pleased with this wise brother.
After all, in Lao Zhu's heart, he wanted to capture the entire Liaodong without spending too much material and financial resources.
So Lao Zhu took advantage of the situation and established the Liaodong Guard in Liaodong, and Liu Yi, his knowledgeable younger brother, became the commander of the Liaodong Guard.
Different from the nameless canonization in the Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu's canonization actually gave him materials, salary, and rights, so the tribal leaders at that time all wanted to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Liaodong was in chaos. Hong Baobao was jealous because he was not canonized by the Ming Dynasty and killed Liu Yi.
This incident made Lao Zhu realize that the local warlords in Liaodong could not conquer the area.
So he asked Zhang Liangzuo and Fang Song to command the Liaodong Guard.
In this way, we can achieve direct control over Liu Yi's hometown, and at the same time remove Liu Yi's original subordinates.
All replacements of "rising and falling" were carried out to stabilize the political situation in Liaoyang.
Then Lao Zhu changed the Liaodong Guard in Liaoyang to the Ding Liao Capital Guard.
This also shows Lao Zhu's determination to pacify Liaodong.
Then let Ma Yun and Ye Wang replace Liu Yi and guard Liaodong.
And these two people did not disappoint Lao Zhu. They also made achievements in Liaodong.
Establish the general's palace, surrender the slaves of the Gao family, repel Naha Chu, and conquer Daning...
In Lao Zhu's heart, these two people are very important.
"It's not hard on us, but it's the commanders and sons who are working hard."
Gu Chen just made an observation and found out that the men of Dingliao Duwei probably had too little money.
In addition, the environment is too difficult, everyone eats with green eyes and wolfs down.
There were cracks in the ice on the palms, and even the two commanders could not see their hands.
Gu Chen couldn't help handing over the hand cream he made and handed it to the two of them regardless of objections.
"The hands of the two generals are fighting hands, but they must be well protected."
Look at the lives other people live, and then think about the life you live in the capital.
For the first time, Gu Chen felt that, actually, his life was already good enough.
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Gu." The two generals couldn't resist, so they had to accept it, and then said with a smile: "Sir, Mr. Gu, please warm the house."
Different from the biting coolness outside, there is a hot kang burning in the greenhouse, as warm as spring. Even after taking off the cloak, I still feel a little hot.
On the table is the mutton sliced early in the morning, as well as a large steaming copper pot.
In winter, caloric consumption is high, so the two of them were already hungry, so they started to wolf down their food without asking them to greet them. They drank a lot of spicy wine before they felt comfortable.
After eating and drinking, we started talking about business. The first person to ask questions was Li Jinglong.
"The two generals also know that the main reason we came here is to see Li Chenggui. Have you sent a message to Li Chenggui? What did he say? Should he come or not?"
The emperor had already asked Kuai Ma to bring a letter to the two of them, and he estimated the time.
By now, Li Chenggui should have replied.
Ma Yun knew that the young man was anxious, so he quickly answered.
"When I got back to the young master, Li Chenggui wrote back and said that we would meet at Fengjibao in half a month. He would prepare fine wine for the young master."
"It's just that they chose the place. Master Ye and I don't know whether Young Master and Master Gu are satisfied with it, so we didn't reply to his words."
They are the ones from Shangguo, why should they let the person named Li choose a position to see them?
Fengji Fort, this is where Lao Zhu later set up Tieling Guards.
But at the beginning, Lao Zhu did not want to place the Tieling Guards there, but in the lands south of the Tumen River in Goryeo.
then.
During the reign of King Gongmin of Goryeo, he crossed the mountains and occupied a large area of land that originally belonged to Helan Prefecture of the Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles and had no time to argue with Goryeo about these matters.
Therefore, they should take this place as their own.
In the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build the Ming Dynasty's garrison there.
From the perspective of Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty's request for Tieling clearly meant that Goryeo would spit out the meat it had eaten, so it naturally could not agree.
So the then King of Goryeo, Wang Yu, decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.
Li Chenggui refused, but the King of Goryeo forced him. Li Chenggui knew that he could not defeat the Ming Dynasty, so he simply used the soldiers in his hands to rebel.
Although it was later said that it was a misunderstanding, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of regaining the lost territory of the Yuan Dynasty.
But this time, Gu Chen was sure that Lao Zhu had to do it.
Besides, there are copper mines in Goryeo, and copper was still very important in ancient times.
Fengji Fort belongs to the border between the two countries and is still some distance away from here.
Gu Chen put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "Send a message to him immediately and ask him to come over to Ding Liao Capital Guard, otherwise we will go back home."
WTF?
Are you afraid of being chopped down, and can you easily escape at the border?
Is this the kind of person he is in Heaven?
Besides, it was freezing and snowy outside, and he didn't want to go out for a walk anymore, so why not let him come and wait here by himself?
"Master Gu." Li Jinglong swallowed and asked worriedly: "What if he doesn't come? How can we explain to His Majesty?"
When leaving, His Majesty said that they must get this done.
Ma Yun and Ye Wang also have some worries, if the emperor's errands cannot be done well.
That……
They looked at Gu Chen's neck and felt that the head could not be saved.
Gu Chen was not worried at all. Instead, he replied with a smile: "There is no such thing as a chance. He will definitely come."
As long as he still wants to be the king of Goryeo, he will not fail to come.
Goryeo.
Li Chenggui looked at the letter in front of him and began to fall into a dilemma. On one side, he was afraid of death, but on the other side, he couldn't resist the temptation.
So after struggling for a long time, he still called his two sons to discuss it.
His second son Li Fangguo said: "People in the Celestial Dynasty often say that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. My father is the undefeated general of our dynasty, so he is naturally a gentleman, so he must never stand under a dangerous wall. "
This was a private meeting, and I didn't dare to let outsiders know about it.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he is shady.
If his father entered the Dingliao Capital Guard, that would be his territory. If he wanted to kill his father, they would not be able to rescue him.
Maybe, the King of Korea will accuse them of having liaisons with foreign countries, which will affect the whole family. This gamble is not worthwhile at all.
"Father, the son thinks that the father should go." But the eldest son Li Fangyu didn't think so. He said softly: "My son has been on a mission to the Ming Dynasty and met the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. My son feels that they are different from the people of the Yuan Dynasty."
"They attach great importance to etiquette and are the most disciplined. They have always focused on appeasing foreigners, and they are even more tolerant and gentle towards small dependent countries."
"The most important thing is that Bei Yuan, who is currently causing the Ming Dynasty the most headache, is still there."
"There is also injustice in Liaodong. Emperor Ming will never do anything to his father when he wants to cooperate with him."
And the most important thing is that he felt that being a vassal state to the Ming Dynasty was much better than being a vassal state to the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty was barbaric, while the Ming Dynasty valued etiquette.
No matter what, they have to recognize a father, so why don't they recognize a father who is easy to talk to and polite?
And what if you want to be a father to someone who is overbearing, unreasonable, and always beats and scolds you?
