Chapter 605 King Qi
Li Chenggui himself is indeed capable and talented, at least among the generation of Goryeo, he feels quite outstanding. In addition, he is not from a noble family in Goryeo, so he is more suitable to take charge of the Goryeo military for Zhu Biao.
Neither Jiang Side nor Yao Guangxiao are suitable for this job. After all, they are not talented generals. Moreover, the military has always been exclusive, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to take charge, which can easily provoke mutiny.
Li Chenggui gained a wave of prestige in Goryeo by defeating Naha. Goryeo has been bullied by the Mongols for too long. Now there is a hero who can defeat the Mongols. He is not a god. .
The most wonderful thing is that Li Chenggui and his father were not under the rule of Goryeo. They belonged to Goryeo after helping King Gongmin regain the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion. Promotion, which means that he has no family and country feelings for Korea.
Such people are undoubtedly the best ones to use. The only thing we need to worry about is whether there will be a big tail in the future. After all, no matter how weak Goryeo is, it is a country with a population of more than 2 million and a history of more than 400 years. It has a complete system and learned from the Central Plains. Many advanced cultures.
Although according to the news from the pro-military Duwei's Mansion and Yao Guangxiao, the Goryeo soldiers are extremely weak, the equipment used by the soldiers is very simple and sparse, and the combat is only done in one go, but there are still quite bright spots in the history of the Goryeo War, such as Yin Guan's big defeat of Jurchen, Goryeo Mongols During the war, they repelled the Mongolian army in Guizhou, Cizhou, Churencheng, Zhuzhou, Zhongzhou and other places...
It’s not too worrying. After all, Zhu Biao sits on the vast rivers and mountains of Daming, which is by no means comparable to Koryo. It’s just that it’s not a good experience to raise tigers by yourself, and Li Chenggui can create the Lee’s Joseon Dynasty in history. It can be seen that it is ambitious.
In the final analysis, Zhu Biao had too few chess pieces available in Goryeo, and the political legacy left by Monk Xin Tun was mostly civil servants, that is, new scholars who passed the imperial examination and were familiar with Confucianism. When it comes to military affairs, none of them can compete with the aristocratic group headed by Li Renren, let alone check and balance Li Chenggui.
As for Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Biao really didn't want to put an ambitious person with a lunatic who possessed dragon-slaying skills in troubled times. If there is still a conquest in the end, then why waste so much time.
There are many solutions, the most direct one is to confront his wife and children. It is rumored that Li Chenggui and his wife are loving, and they have five legitimate sons, and the eldest son is one year older than Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao thought about it and said: "I have a suitable candidate, but this person is a little difficult to check and balance. I am afraid that the vassal town will become a separatist force. He is young and vigorous, and he will thrive, and the proton entering Beijing will have no effect."
Zhu Yuanzhang became a little interested when he heard the words, and his son worried that he would not lose his tail. It can be seen that he has real talents and practical learning. He thought about it carefully and said, "Is it the Li who defeated Naha?"
"Li Chenggui."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "It's nothing. Naha appeared in a straw bag. He knew that Koryo was mountainous, but he dared to divide his troops. He was invaded by cavalry, but he didn't know how to send cavalry to fight. Qingqi went out to talk, and was shot and killed by the surnamed Li, the lieutenant's personal guard and his mount, and many of them were not captured alive."
The contempt in Lao Zhu's eyes almost overflowed as he spoke, obviously regretting that he misjudged the person back then and treated Nahachu as a loyal and heroic generation.
"If you are negligent and careless, you will be defeated. It's time to fight again. At least don't lose the face of your ancestor Mu Huali. But not only did that dog not dare to fight anymore, he even gave away drums, good horses, and even his own sister. Sent."
Zhu Yuanzhang finally snorted: "You are young and use soldiers like a god. You are a real genius, and you will be responsible for great things in your country? Heh! It seems that boasting is actually just putting money on your face."
In that battle, the Liaodong side kept silent, while the Goryeo side spread it miraculously. In addition, the Central Plains was in chaos at that time, so no one went to investigate it in detail. As the imperial court turned its attention to Liaodong in the past two years, many things were also ignored. Can't hide it.
At this time, Zhu Biao couldn't help worrying about Nahachu's life in his later years. Seeing what his father meant, he was probably planning to humiliate him, otherwise his hatred would be difficult to resolve.
If Naha is a hero, that’s all. Even if it doesn’t make it difficult for Daming to regain Liaodong, Lao Zhu, the emperor on horseback, will have a little respect even if he is merciless under the sword, but Naha appears like this, his life should be It was saved, but the dignity was forgotten.
Zhu Yuanzhang is serious now. Among the many vassal states of Ming Dynasty, Goryeo is one of the best in terms of land and people. It is also worth looking at people who can overwhelm people with family surnames from all directions in such a country.
"Then what do you want? Kill it or support it?"
Zhu Biao hesitated a little, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "For those who look forward and backward, why think so much, we have saved you such a big family, what do you have to worry about!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not easy for my father to save such a family property, and my minister also sees it, so I dare to squander it at will, but what my father taught me is that my son may have stayed too late in the backyard recently. After a long time, it is time to be more decisive."
"I was hesitating whether to send Xu Yungong, Chang Mao and other honorable children to practice. Now that I think about it, I should just send the fourth brother. My son is also relieved."
"It's up to you to decide, but Xu Yungong and Chang Mao are the best to stay. They have a great relationship and are your greatest help in the future. Dying in a foreign place will easily make Xu Da and the others paranoid."
"I understand."
Sending Zhu Di to Goryeo, Zhu Biao just made a decision. He originally planned to let him go to Tanghe tent in the south to participate in the battle to recover Yunnan, but now it seems that Goryeo is more urgent.
After bidding farewell to his father and leaving the Jinshen Palace, Zhu Biao ordered Fuduo to find the King of Qi, Zhu Di, and went to the Wenhua Palace to have a talk. From the look of his face, it can be seen that he is going to face the saint again...
After Zhu Biao leisurely drank a cup of tea in the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Di, who hurried over, relieved his slightly shortness of breath in front of the hall gate, and then let people enter, and sat upright. Big brother salutes.
"The younger brother pays homage to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Come and sit down, I have something to discuss with you, it depends on whether you want to go or not?"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he had a premonition when he was suddenly called. He reckoned that his job in Beijing was stable, and recalling the envious and jealous eyes of the second child just now, he felt even more joyful.
Zhu Di didn't get up, but solemnly replied: "Your brother is on the orders of your elder brother, there is no other way!"
Looking at the solemn Zhu Di below, Zhu Biao was a little curious. The situation in Korea was complicated, so what would happen if Zhu Di was put in? Was Li Chenggui seized power by Zhu Di, or would Zhu Di be hung up as a Buddha statue by Li Chenggui? Will Yao Guangxiao be tempted when he meets the two potential dragons?
"Okay, big brother is happy when you say that, and the emperor will be pleased when he finds out. Come and sit down, we brothers can discuss it."
Zhu Di got up excitedly and stepped forward. Zhu Piao clicked on the topography map of Liaodong on the desk and said: "The imperial court is planning to recover Liaodong and Yunnan in the next step, and you should have heard about the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties."
Zhu Di didn't mean to hide his clumsiness, and replied directly: "I know, I heard that Chahan, the son of Nahachu, is in the capital. Is Liaodong ready to join?"
Zhu Biao nodded, but when Zhu Di saw this, he was a little weak and said: "There is one less battle to fight. Father, Emperor Dingding, the eldest brother of the world, who took back Yanyun and his younger brother, also thinks that he can expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty!"
