"This again?" Zhu Su took the memorial.
This one was not a letter of credence, but an urgent report sent by Ye Wang, the commander of Dingliao Guards. The above content is roughly that Beiyuan has been making frequent attacks in recent days, crossing the Great Wall many times and harassing the border areas. Moreover, there were frequent incidents in Goryeo. Bandits suspected of being Goryeo soldiers invaded Liaodong and plundered Liao people, causing friction with the Ming army.
Please let your Majesty decide what should be done in such a situation.
"Korea actually dares to offend my Ming Dynasty? Haven't they already recognized our Ming Dynasty as their sect leader?" Zhu Su frowned.
"Hmph, that small country has little integrity and shame. They do one thing on the outside but another on the back. They don't know what death is." Lao Zhu snorted angrily. Liu Bowen came out to explain to Zhu Su: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince does not know something."
"Although Goryeo surrendered to the Ming Dynasty long ago, over the years, it has actually been disconnected from the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
"The Goryeo royal family has been marrying daughters of the Yuan Dynasty as their concubines for hundreds of years. The royal family's bloodline is all the daughters of Mongolia. The bones are broken and the tendons are connected. To be honest, the relationship with the Yuan Dynasty is much closer than that of the Ming Dynasty and me. "
What Liu Bowen said was actually a bit conservative. Although Goryeo at that time professed its surrender to the Ming Dynasty, secretly, it still wore the same pants as Bei Yuan.
At that time, the Goryeo royal family not only had Mongolian ancestry for generations, but the prince had to go to Dayuan to "study abroad" before he grew up, and could only be returned to Goryeo when he inherited the throne. Under the double transformation of blood and environment, from top to bottom, from generation to generation, the Goryeo royal family were all Mongolian men with beards and rough faces. This matter is proved by the portraits of later generations.
All of them are pure Mongolians, with a very small proportion of Korean ancestry. If the kings of any generation had a slightly greener head, maybe none of the people sitting on the throne now are Koreans. What's more, when these protons return to their country to take over the throne, none of them may even be able to say "Smecta".
In order to be a good son, even the kings of every generation in his family were sold to Dayuan.
The king was not the only one who was betrayed, everyone from the whole country knelt and licked Dayuan so thoroughly. During the Goryeo Dynasty, as long as there were more beautiful women, they had to be screened out first and given to the nobles in Yuanting. Only the remaining second-class ones could be selected by the Goryeo king and nobles. Men among the common people are also castrated once a year and sent to Yuan Dynasty to serve as slaves for the nobles. In the last hundred years of the Yuan Dynasty, all the maids in the palace were women from Goryeo, and the eunuchs and servants in the palace were all men from Goryeo.
The imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty can be called "Little Goryeo".
When a son is treated so completely, it is natural that there is no way to put an end to the relationship immediately. It is also expected that the lotus roots will be broken.
"In the past, when the country was founded, Goryeo sent people to Ming Dynasty to proclaim themselves vassals. At that time, everyone in the court thought that if they refused Goryeo's surrender and allowed it to openly unite with the Great Yuan in the future, it would be better to just sit back and watch it secretly communicate with the Great Yuan. , at least in this way, they will not be able to openly be enemies of our Ming Dynasty."
"Let's accept him as a vassal, and our Ming Dynasty also has a great reputation for him..." Li Shanchang added.
"Hmph, isn't it absurd that barbarians from other countries don't know etiquette and justice, and they actually want to restrict them in the name of righteousness?"
"Your Majesty, Goryeo dares to invade our territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is treason! Please send troops to Goryeo to destroy its ancestral temple and accept its territory."
"Within half a year, I will definitely capture the Wudao Puppet King of Goryeo and present it to Your Majesty to demonstrate the might of our Ming Dynasty!"
Below, Pingliang Hou Fei Ju shouted loudly, he had not seen him for a long time. He lifted up his clothes and knelt down towards Lao Zhu boldly.
Seeing him asking for a fight, the crowd of nobles immediately exploded.
"Fei Laosan, do you still think about using the knife? Go back to your Qinhuai River and hug your sister!" Lan Yu also quickly stepped out of the queue, dealt with Fei Ju's strength, and then knelt down towards Lao Zhu: " Your Majesty, let me, Lan Yu, go! It won’t take half a year, my Lan Yu will only take three months!”
"Give me 30,000 warriors, and within three months, I, Lan Yu, will break through the capital of Goryeo and capture the King of Goryeo alive!"
"Lanyu, you fart!" Fei Ju's face turned red with anger. "I only need 20,000 people! Your Majesty, let me go. I will open up territory for the Ming Dynasty..."
"I only want ten thousand! Within one month, I will attack Goryeo and open the capital..."
Lan Yu and Fei Ju competed against each other, and some of the other nobles also joined the battle group and started to get involved with these two people. The nobles' words became more and more outrageous. In just a few words, it only took 2,000 men and three days to attack Goryeo.
It seems that the Goryeo Imperial City was made of paper.
"Shut up, everyone!" Lao Zhu's veins jumped. "The important matters of our country and our country are not for you to talk about!"
After yelling at these incompetent nobles, he turned to Zhu Su and said: "Lao Wu, we know that you have quite a lot of research on the situation outside the Ming Dynasty."
"That's why I invited you to come here to discuss it together."
"What do you think should be done in this situation now?"
Zhu Su lowered his eyebrows and thought. This letter of credence and the memorial seemed to be two things, but in fact they were one thing: the arrangements on the Japanese side had probably come to fruition, and the credential of the Japanese emperor was very likely to have come to fruition. It may be that Gao Qi and Yao Guangxiao have achieved results in their operations in the past few years. At this time, it was a God-given opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to Japan, gain the initiative, and even swallow up Japan.
However, at this time, there were changes in the north. After several years of recuperation, Beiyuan was once again eyeing it, and there were also changes in Korea. Seeing that the war in Northern Xinjiang is about to start, if the Japanese are distracted at this time, resulting in insufficient troops in Northern Xinjiang...
If Bei Yuan were to resurrect, it would be a disaster.
Although Lan Yu, Fei Ju and other nobles were clamoring for joy, to put it bluntly, Ming Dynasty did not have the strength to start a two-sided war. Let alone conquering Goryeo, as long as the Ming Dynasty used troops against Goryeo, Beiyuan would definitely not stand idly by.
Even Liaodong has not been fully digested, so why should we try to swallow up Goryeo? When the behemoth Bei Yuan does not exist?
Zhu Su thought secretly, but before he could figure it out, he saw an official among the civil servants coming out and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should stick to our Ming Dynasty mountain stream and not use troops easily."
"The sage said, 'Soldiers are also deadly weapons'."
"You need to know that Fanbang is a small country, desolate and remote. Smoke is rampant and the mountains and rivers are complicated."
"Even though we, the Ming Dynasty, have millions of elite soldiers and are invincible and not afraid of any enemy, we must beware of the dangers of heaven and earth, and the dangers of mountains and rivers."
"In the past, Guyuan conquered the Japanese country twice, but they were hit by hurricanes on the sea and were even destroyed, which only damaged the country's strength."
"Today, the Duke of Wei is guarding the northern border, and the Duke of Xin is guarding the sea border. Neither Japan nor Goryeo can advance even an inch. After all, it is just a disease of mustard moss, not a serious problem."
"As long as we, the Ming Dynasty, stand firm and do not move, we can enjoy peace and quiet. Even if Bei Yuan is eyeing us, we will definitely not be able to make any progress. Why should we take risks and expose weaknesses to Bei Yuan for the sake of two small countries?"
"As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. As long as I follow the steps of the Ming Dynasty, I will spread the king's way widely in the future. Why should I resort to violence? Your Majesty, please think twice!" After the official finished speaking, he bowed to the ground.
