What the Jurchen envoy did at the banquet was spread that night.
This is obviously intentional by Kim Sang-hyun and others.
And the effect is really impressive.
The Koreans exploded.
"We, our generation, have learned the ways of saints and respect the etiquette of human ethics. We hold our heads high in the world. How can we allow the barbarians to have the smell of evil and power on our heads? For the current plan, we can only maintain our orthodoxy by fighting to the death."
Jin Shouhong was worthy of being the person Yin Ji personally selected, and he immediately started to move.
The Confucian scholars in Sungkyunkwan were furious and wrote memorials one after another and submitted them to Li Jian.
They have only one request.
That is: behead the captive envoys and burn the captives' books.
Even Li Zhu, who was annoyed, couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the following intention.
The Confucian scholars did not give up except submitting a letter. They actually gathered people and ran outside the residence of the envoy of Hou Jin.
"Kill these barbarians and safeguard the country's orthodoxy."
These Confucian scholars shouted to fight and kill, and rushed inward.
Fortunately, the officials arrived in time after hearing the news and tried their best to stop him. Otherwise, Sousa, Mafuta and others might be beaten to death on the spot.
Even so, the horrified envoy Houjin, who was hiding inside, still had a premonition of impending disaster when he saw the bricks and tiles being thrown outside the courtyard.
"These North Koreans are so bold that they might actually kill us."
Susa's face was ashen and her mind was racing.
Ma Futa had rich experience in battle and quickly came up with a solution.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, for fear of something unexpected happening. We must rush back immediately to report to the Great Khan that North Korea is arrogant and has betrayed its alliance. Only by approaching the city with troops can they understand the situation."
After some discussion, Sousa and Mafuta both felt that their lives would be in danger if they continued to stay in North Korea.
In the early morning, they noticed that it was calm outside. The two men led their men to seize the horses and drove away.
But even so, the passers-by they encountered still threw tiles and stones at them and cursed them endlessly.
Fortunately, North Korea did not dare to actually kill the Hou Jin envoys, allowing them to escape in embarrassment.
Just when Susa and Ma Futa returned to Shenyang, Liaodong's intelligence was placed at the forefront of Shandong Central.
Hou Xun, Zhang Zhenxiu, Zhang Zongheng, Qu Shi?, Jiang Wei, and even Huang Daozhou, Dang Huanchun, Zhang Jimeng, and Fu Yusun who were far away came back.
Liu Zongzhou, who had always been obsessed with academic research, also came out.
On the military side, Huang Zongxi and Zhou You, who were left behind, also came together.
Seeing this huge lineup, Zuo Mengeng had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
"Intelligence from Liaodong shows that Huang Taiji Jianji's proclaimed emperor is close at hand. If nothing unexpected happens, the trip will take place within two months."
Hou Xun deliberately emphasized this piece of information that everyone already knew, which confused Zuo Mengeng.
Huang Zongxi brought intelligence from North Korea.
"Susa and Mafuta fled, and North Korea did not agree to Jurchen's request. The relationship between the two parties was completely broken, and they would definitely meet in war in the future. I just don't know that this battle took place before Huang Taiji became emperor. Or later."
"It must be later."
Judging this matter, Zuo Mengeng is still very confident.
Not talking about Liaodong, Huang Taiji was almost ready to found the country and proclaim himself emperor. In the meantime, there was not enough time for Hou Jin to send troops to conquer North Korea.
one more……
"Huang Taiji's founding of the country and proclaiming himself emperor will definitely stimulate the court. If you want to punish North Korea, you must consider the court's reaction. It is expected that Huang Taiji will take action against the court before conquering North Korea, so as to eliminate his worries."
His statement was unanimously recognized by everyone.
But if it's just this matter, it seems that there is no need for so many elders to come together.
Moreover, many people are obviously local officials and have left aside a lot of things at hand. It would be a bit out of line to come here to discuss military matters.
Just when Zuo Mengeng was thinking about everyone's intentions, the outspoken Huang Zongxi suddenly asked: "Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country. How does Zhongheng feel?"
Why did this happen to me?
Zuo Mengeng didn't know why.
"Huang Taiji's ambitions are so big that even if he proclaims himself emperor, will he still be able to do so with us here?"
Huang Zongxi was quite dissatisfied.
"That's not what I meant."
Liu Zongzhou hurriedly came forward with a hint.
"After Huang Taiji founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, there were two poles of talent, the north and the south. Even the northwestern bandits all claimed the title of king and hegemony, each with his own banner. But although we in Shandong are in a league of our own, we are extremely powerful, but the name does not live up to the reality. . It is so difficult to win over people’s hearts that we must pay attention to it.”
Zuo Mengeng was stunned, and when he looked at the crowd again, he finally realized something.
Unexpectedly, they came here to persuade them to enter.
Want to go further?
This made Zuo Mengeng hesitate.
When the political system was first established and the cabinet was established, someone had already put forward the initiative.
But at that time, there were a lot of discussions and different opinions, and it was difficult for Zuo Menggen to make up his mind, so he put it aside.
He only called himself commander-in-chief and planned to build the commander-in-chief's mansion.
But in the final analysis, the Commander-in-Chief's Office is more military-oriented, too one-sided, and indeed has some unfair names and inconsistent words.
However, Zuo Mengeng was still undecided on how to establish his status and reputation in the political power.
According to his nature, it would be best to choose a republican system.
After all, this is how it is in the future, it has many benefits, and he is the most familiar with it.
However, a large number of people in the camp expressed opposition.
Even among the elders in front of him, who discussed it more with him, two-thirds of them disagreed.
"Nowadays, the people are not enlightened and ignorant, so we must not rush for quick success. Otherwise, people's hearts will be broken, their strength will be scattered, and they will lead to their own destruction."
"God's Coming"
Qu Shi? He spoke sincerely, his meaning was very obvious, and he had a strong intention to persuade people to enter.
"Since you know the harm of the emperor, why worry that it cannot be avoided? Our leaders are very different from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. We can completely establish separate rules."
Zhang Jimeng also echoed.
The harm of feudal emperors has been discussed continuously within the camp, and everyone has correctly understood it.
Different from Zuo Menggeng's comprehensive rejection of the imperial system, everyone's view is to eliminate its harm and make use of its benefits.
What are the advantages of the imperial system?
This is because for thousands of years, the Central Plains has always been ruled by emperors. The flag is clear and recognized by all the people. With this flag, it brings power to the world and establishes the central country.
If it is canceled rashly, all the people in the world will be at a loss and will not know their identity.
This kind of cognitive change obviously cannot be too impatient. Otherwise, it will definitely evolve into division and become fertile ground for careerists to cause chaos.
Regardless of whether it is based on maintaining a unified situation or stabilizing internal affairs, everyone has the same opinion.
That is to follow the old system properly.
Everyone was talking about it, but Zuo Mengeng became a minority.
Seeing such a situation, he was quite helpless.
At the anxious moment, Zhang Zhenxiu took out his trump card.
"This is a letter from all the members of the Legislative Council and all the people. Everyone is of the same mind and should establish titles and seal lands."
He asked people to unfold the Book of Ten Thousand People, and it actually stretched for more than ten feet.
There were countless bright red names on it, as if they were living people standing in front of Zuo Mengeng, urging him to go further.
