The people outside the city had fires and hot porridge to drink, and this night was relatively easy.
But these people also have a special feeling in their hearts.
They have never received such attention.
Xu Youzhen did not leave. The prefect Ma Bozhi also wanted to stay here with Xu Youzhen, but Xu Youzhen refused and rushed back to the city.
Because Ma Bozhi was very tired.
Xu Youzhen was afraid that an official like this would be too tired to take office. There were still many things to do in the next year, and all of them needed to be done personally by Magistrate Ma.
Xu Youzhen is here. To put it bluntly, to put it mildly, she is sharing the sufferings of the people, and to put it harshly, she is just for fame.
The censors all followed, and when they went back to report, Lao Xu's status in front of His Majesty became higher.
The trio who governs the country and assists in government still has a certain temptation for him.
When Xu Youzhen was out in the cold, little did she know that at this time in the capital, in the Palace of Qianqing, a battle over the fate of North Korea began.
…………
Capital, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen was sitting in front of the dragon case, with Yu Qian, Li Xian, Wang Wen, Shang Ren, Zhu Shou, Chen Ying, Guo Deng, Zhao Fu and others standing below him.
This time almost all the famous ministers arrived.
Liaodong soldiers entered the city last night.
North Korea, let's do it.
Shi Heng and others have not yet figured out exactly who was fighting whom and how the fighting was. It is initially inferred that the royal army in Seoul began to mop up the remnant party of Lord Shouyang.
Thousands of Koreans came running towards Anping County in the Ming Dynasty.
Shi Heng and others saw so many people running toward them without panicking at all. Once the door opened, as long as they came, they would be the people of Anping County. biquge.biz
In just half a month, tens of thousands of people came to Anping County from North Korea, most of them young women with children.
After seeing so many people, Shi Heng knew that the war in Korea was in a stalemate.
At that moment, military documents and official documents were immediately sent out to Sun Xiang and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army in the capital.
Of course, what I said is not detailed.
This was a civil war, and Ming Dynasty should not have interfered, but Xu Youzhen had already stirred up trouble there, and Ming Dynasty had also made its attitude clear in North Korea.
Support the leader of the country and kill Lord Shouyang.
Now the remnants of Lord Shouyang are acting like monsters again. If the Seoul Royal Army has the upper hand, that's all. But if the Seoul Royal Army is at a disadvantage and is in danger of being overthrown, then the Ming Dynasty must take action.
Firstly, the name of Korea was given by Emperor Taizu and could not be allowed to disappear. Secondly, Xu Youzhen helped Lord Jincheng kill Lord Shouyang. If Lord Shouyang's remnant party wins, what will the people in power in Korea think of the Ming Dynasty.
"Those ministers of the Heavenly Kingdom are extremely cunning. That is Xu Youzhen. He accepted the gift from our Lord Shouyang, played with the beautiful woman given by our Lord Shouyang, and then turned around and became ambiguous with Lord Jincheng, and even Let a stupid man chop up Lord Shouyang. From now on, no one will be able to trust the people of the Ming Dynasty. They are too bad, Smecta."
In order to avoid this situation from happening.
Zhu Jianshen decided to intervene in the Korean military affairs.
Making the current royal court more dependent on Ming Dynasty.
Your life is given by me. It’s not too much to ask you for some copper ore and silver ore.
"According to what Marquis Wuyang said, rebellions have been breaking out in North Korea for a month. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the affairs of North Korea are not clear yet, and we should wait until North Korea submits its credentials before making a decision." Yu Qian said.
Li Xian has a different view.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has already been involved in the affairs of Korea and cannot get out of it. I believe that the Liaodong army and horses should enter Korea to help the Korean leader suppress the rebellion. But before that, Wu Yanghou should be allowed to send people to the Korea. Ask about the situation.”
Zhu Shou, Duke of Chengguo, came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army there."
"Your Majesty, I also invite you to fight."
"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."
Zhao Fu looked at it and murmured in his heart, "What's going on? You haven't said anything yet, why are you asking for a fight? Forget it, I have a weak foundation, I will follow the bosses and ask for a fight, there will be nothing wrong."
Of course he didn't know that if he didn't act proactively at this time, he would be scolded.
The little emperor doesn't curse people, but if he doesn't express his stance quickly, his ancestors' face will be tarnished and dad's coffin board will no longer be able to hold down...
"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."
"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."
…………
Zhu Jianshen was very satisfied when he saw Duke Cheng Guo taking the lead and all the generals starting to fight in order.
"The military morale is available."
However, the military intervention that Zhu Jianshen had in mind was not what they thought. Fifty or sixty thousand troops entered North Korea, spending a lot of money and the people of Ming Dynasty to help them regardless of the cost.
He wanted a new way.
The army can enter, but the required military expenses and pension costs must be borne by North Korea, and the things looted must belong to the Ming army.
You can't rush up there, it's like kneeling down to beg for food.
The sons of the Ming Dynasty should straighten their backs and earn money while standing.
Why, you don’t accept it, and those who don’t accept it will be treated with dignity.
The military generals' statements also shocked the civil servants. These guys are big-headed and brainless. They just fight as they say. When the cannon goes off, they can get thousands of taels of gold.
Now that the benevolent government is being spread in the Ming Dynasty, the central government's energy is concentrated on each number, and there is no energy to open another military supply road.
Seeing His Majesty's smiling expression, many civil servants were shocked.
It's over, Your Majesty is tempted.
Wang Wen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing for the generals to ask for orders and be willing to fight. But now that the Ming Dynasty is implementing the benevolent government and it is the end of the year, we really can't let the army go out to fight. The army goes out to fight, wastes the people and money, and lets the people live with the soldiers. Let’s have a good time this New Year, and we’ll talk about it after the New Year.”
After Zhu Jianshen heard Wang Wen's words, his heart moved.
In the national memory of the Han people, celebrating the New Year is the most important thing, which has given rise to a mentality that we should wait until the New Year is over.
This can also be said to be the common memory of the nation.
The same is true for the Ming Dynasty at this time. After the New Year, I will find you a wife, and after the New Year, send your child to the study. After the New Year, our lives will get better...
It seems that what is not completed this year will be completed after the new year.
It is the people’s expectations for the new year, which is beautiful...
Of course, this kind of mentality is not the dregs, but the essence. However, it is somewhat inappropriate for a senior central official to say this, and you are not sensible.
Zhu Jian glanced at Wang Wen deeply but did not reply, and the expression on his face froze.
I'm not happy anymore.
After Wang Wen saw this, he could only retreat again.
After Wang Wen withdrew, Chen Ying went on to make a memorial and said: "Your Majesty, we really need to know more about the affairs of Korea, but the Ming Dynasty cannot be unprepared. The army in Liaodong must be on guard against Mongolia knocking on the border and Chenghua Liting. We have already mobilized 30,000 troops and horses, but we are really unable to mobilize more. Your Majesty, I think that we should send the army north and station it in Anping County, and then ask Shi Heng to send someone to inquire why North Korea has not presented its credentials. .”
As for what Wang Wen said about talking about it after the Chinese New Year, Chen Ying consciously covered it up and kept silent.
Zhu Jianshen nodded, his face looking a little better.
This should be the attitude of ministers.
Li Xian asked: "How many troops and horses do Tai Ning think should be sent north?"
"Twenty thousand is enough."
Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhu Jianshen and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Marquis Tai Ning said is reasonable. We should send troops first and then ask questions. Otherwise, I, the Ming Dynasty, will be passive and cannot intervene if I want to."
Yu Qian's expression changed again and again, but in the end, he still didn't speak.
Zhu Jianshen stood up.
As soon as he saw the little emperor standing up, Cheng Guogong's face suddenly turned ugly.
I didn’t say anything, I just took the lead in asking for a fight, so I shouldn’t scold me.
"I learned about North Korea from the memorial of Marquis Wuyang. They have many silver mines. I was thinking that since the army has marched to North Korea to help their king, the royal court, should they be willing to do whatever they can to help them?" A moment of landlord friendship..."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, the civil officials did not change their minds for a while, but the generals did understand clearly in their hearts after listening.
This means, the friendship of the landlords, to put it bluntly, it allows the Ming army to indulge and enjoy themselves in North Korea, rob people if they can, and rob money if they can.
But this is all slang in the army and cannot be brought to the forefront. Could it be that some idiot would put these shady things next to the sun...
Duke Cheng and Marquis Taining looked at each other with anger hidden in their eyes. What on earth did Shi Heng say to His Majesty? Why, Your Majesty understands so well...
