The North Korean envoy returned to Seoul with a corpse.
The envoy was killed, causing an uproar in Seoul.
In the North Korean palace, a group of North Korean officials gathered in the main hall. The King of North Korea, Li Zhu, was sitting high up with a very ugly expression on his face.
"The tiger thief dares to kill my North Korean envoy, please ask my king to send troops to Jeju Island." Chief Si Xian of Si Xian Mansion stood up.
"Absolutely not."
A judge from Liucao stood up to stop him.
Da Si Xian looked at the judge coldly and said: "The tiger thief killed our Korean envoy without permission. Shouldn't he be given an explanation? Or do you think that our Korean envoy deserves to be killed!"
Faced with the question, the judge's face flashed with shame and anger, and he said: "I didn't say that, I just think that we should not send troops to the tiger thieves on Jeju Island for the time being. If you had listened to my suggestion, , how could the envoys sent be killed?"
"I think you only bowed to the tiger thief because you accepted the benefits from the tiger thief. You didn't even care about the murder of your own family members." Da Si Xian angrily rebuked the verdict in front of him and turned around. Facing the King of Joseon, Lee Joon, he asked, "Please my king to depose Park Mansoo and hold him accountable for his liaison with Jeju Island tiger thieves."
"Fart, I didn't have an affair with a tiger thief from Jeju Island." Judge Park glared at the Chief Si Heon in front of him.
The functions of the Si Xian Mansion and the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty are close, and the Da Si Xian is equivalent to the Zuo Du Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Reporting on rumors is part of his job. Whether there is evidence or not is not important. The key is the word "rumors".
"I would like to ask my king, Zhipu, to judge the book for the crime of collaborating with thieves."
"I ask my king to punish the criminal and punish the thief."
"Please ask my king to order a simple sentence for the crime of adultery with tiger thieves."
As soon as the Chief Si Heon of the Si Heon Office opened his mouth to impeach the Park Judgment of the Uijeongbu, the officials of the Si Heon Office, such as Ji Yi and Zhang Ling below, all stepped forward to join the impeachment team.
At this time, officials from the Supervisory Office also came forward to impeach Park.
Soon, some officials named Liu Cao also joined the impeachment team.
For a time, everyone shouted for Judge Park to be beaten.
"What do you think of Uijeongbu?" King Lee Joo of Joseon looked at several people in Uijeongbu.
In North Korea, the Uijeongbu government was similar to the cabinet in the late Ming Dynasty.
The leader of the Uijeong government stood up and said: "The tiger thieves killed my North Korean minister. This matter must be investigated, otherwise everyone will think that I, North Korea, are easy to bully."
"So the U.K. Government also supports the use of troops against the tiger thieves in Jeju Island?" Li Zhu asked again.
"I think we should not use troops against Jeju Island. We should send envoys to reprimand the tiger thieves on Jeju Island and order them to apologize to me, North Korea." Zuo Yizheng stood up and said.
After hearing this, the leader turned sideways and said to Zuo Yizheng: "The tiger thieves on Jeju Island not only killed my North Korean envoy, but also asked me, North Korea, to compensate them three thousand stones of grain and thirty thousand taels of silver. Zuo Yizheng felt that he would send people to Jeju Island again. , will the tiger thief change his attitude and not only refuse to compensate, but will instead compensate North Korea?"
"Who can blame this? If you hadn't asked our king to send envoys to Jeju Island to ask the tiger thieves on the island to withdraw from the island, what happened today would not have happened." Zuo Yizheng stared at the leader in front of him and said.
The leader said: "Jeju Island is originally the Jeju Island of Korea. Why is it occupied by a group of bandits from the Ming Dynasty? Korea should take back Jeju Island. Everything on the island naturally belongs to Korea."
"Jeju Island was occupied not in a day or two. You saw the benefits of Jeju Island and wanted to get it with nothing, but have you ever thought about it. If the tiger thieves were so easy to deal with, Jeju Island would have It will not fall into the hands of the other party." Zuo Yizheng angrily rebuked.
"enough!"
At this moment, Li Shu, who was sitting high up, shouted sharply and stopped Zuo Yizheng from talking.
When Ling Yizheng and Zuo Yizheng saw Li Zhu speak, they each returned to the ranks of the courtiers.
Li Zhu looked at his ministers in front of him and said, "I want you to find a way to solve the problem of tiger thieves in Jeju Island. I don't want you to quarrel here."
"I am guilty."
A group of North Korean ministers bowed to apologize.
Li Jian, who had been the king for many years, was too lazy to listen to such meaningless words of apology. He directly asked the leader to discuss politics and said, "If North Korea sends troops to Jeju Island, will it be possible to capture Jeju Island?"
After years of management by the Tiger Flag, Jeju Island is no longer a desert island where prisoners were exiled, but a place of prosperity that has grown.
There are few places in the entire North Korea that are as rich as Jeju Island. Otherwise, as the King of North Korea, he would not want to recapture Jeju Island from the Tiger Flag.
"I support sending troops to Jeju Island, but we cannot use troops now. We need to find helpers to deal with the tiger bandits on the island." Leader Yizheng stood up and said.
When Li Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Help? Who can I find as a helper? Is there a suitable candidate for the leadership?"
As long as he can get Jeju Island back, he will naturally be absolutely willing to do so as the king of North Korea.
In particular, Dai Jin has sent an envoy to ask North Korea to provide 10,000 dan of food, which is simply to break North Korea's bones and suck out its marrow. For these 10,000 dan of food, he can only think of Jeju Island.
"The Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state of North Korea, and the tiger thieves are the rebels of the Ming Dynasty. The tiger thieves on Jeju Island should be solved by the Ming Dynasty, so I think we should inform the Ming Dynasty about the affairs of Jeju Island and let the Ming Dynasty send troops to help us in North Korea." Ling Yizheng said.
North Korea was isolated, and the channels for obtaining news were far inferior to those of Huang Taiji and Dajin. The news of the fall of the Ming capital had not yet reached North Korea, and the whole country did not know that the Ming capital had fallen into the hands of the Tiger Banner.
As for Daikin, it is even less likely to tell North Korea about the Tiger Flag. If North Korea forms an alliance with the Tiger Flag, the threat to Daikin will increase exponentially.
"This is a good idea, but can Daming be the opponent of the tiger thief? The tiger thief is not even afraid of Dajin!" Li Zhu said worriedly.
The Korean monarchs and ministers did not know some of the things that happened in the Ming Dynasty, but they still knew about many things that happened in Liaodong. They also knew that the Tiger Character Banner was at war with Dajin in the Liaodong Peninsula.
The leader said: "Although the Ming Dynasty was a little bit close to dealing with Dajin, it only dealt with the tiger thieves on Jeju Island, and with our country, North Korea, as a helper, it won't be a big problem to capture Jeju Island."
Li Zhu nodded.
"It is absolutely impossible for my king to put all his hopes of taking Jeju Island on Ming Dynasty." Seeing that Li Zhu was persuaded, Zuo Yizheng quickly stopped him.
Li Zhu looked unhappy and said, "Does Zuo Yizheng have any different suggestions?"
"I think that relying on the Ming Dynasty's soldiers may not be able to capture Jeju Island. My king, please don't forget that the Ming Dynasty Navy was defeated by this tiger bandit in the Pi Island area." Zuo Yizheng reminded.
His words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just risen in Li Zhu's heart again.
