Chapter 813 Situation
Zhu Di frowned slightly and said, "It's meaningless just to drag it on like this."
He has already stayed in Korea enough. As long as Li Chenggui does not turn against him, there will be no battles here for him to use. Fortunately, he has cultivated a lot of useful confidantes in the past two years. There are Han people and many Korean people. These are what he must take away.
With these people as a team, I will not be afraid to go anywhere in the future. As for other things, such as the power and troops in the Korean territory, it is not worth mentioning.
Jiang Side twisted the black chess piece and said: "Actually, His Royal Highness has another secret edict."
"It can't be for this king." Zhu Di suddenly had a bad feeling: "Otherwise, this king should have known it a long time ago."
With my growth in various aspects, many things have been notified at the beginning, to the direct executor, and the authority exceeds Jiang Yu, Jiang Side and others.
"That depends on whether Li Chenggui can hold back the meat to his mouth. If he can hold back, he is a good dog. If he can't help it, he is a wild wolf. A wolf is not familiar with it. You have to cut off its head and peel off its skin as soon as possible. "
Jiang Side settled down gently after finishing speaking, then took tea and smiled: "Your Highness, compared to my Ming Dynasty, Goryeo is a small country with few people, but looking outside the border, it is really not small."
"If such a country clears away the previous decadent state-building system, it will soon recover its vitality and gather soldiers to protect the country. At that time, how should we deal with it?"
"You have to be clear that Koryo is so easily controlled by us now. First of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and mighty. My Ming Dynasty is invincible in the world. This temple is the first to win. Secondly, because Koryo has gone through hundreds of years, the building will collapse when it arrives. At that time, as for me, I can't wait for the smallest achievement."
"There are unruly people in poor mountains and bad waters, strong soldiers in poor countries and evil lands, and Goryeo's soldiers are weak. The main reason is that the aristocratic families occupy power and suppress ordinary talents. If Li Chenggui and his like, work hard to rule, let alone other things, protect the country and defend the frontier without any worries. also."
Thinking about Jiang Side's words, Zhu Di's complexion gradually turned ugly. It was because he had been in Korea for two years that he understood the truth of these words. This is not a small foreign country that can be conquered by sending tens of thousands of troops.
Seeing that Zhu Di understood, Jiang Side got up and walked into the house to fetch the secret edict. It was a thick package, not just a letter, but a thick stack of letters, all written by the prince himself, enough to dispatch all parties in Korea. power.
There is even a private seal of Zhu Biao, that is, if necessary, in the name of the crown prince, he can send letters to all parties promising to make additional promises according to the situation to reverse the situation.
At the bottom is the canonized imperial decree with the jade seal. The name is empty and can be filled in at any time, which also represents the recognition of the Ming court.
Zhu Di carefully read the signatures of the pile of letters. He didn’t know when some of them contacted his elder brother. He clearly remembered that they were still firm royalists in the court.
"How long we have to wait?"
Jiang Side shook his head and said: "It's up to you to decide, I think it's almost the same, but if you want, you can wait and see for a while."
Just now, Zhu Di was still in a hurry, thinking to finish the matter here as soon as possible, and go home. Although he had gone back in the past two years, he was in a hurry. He had to rush back after attending the big wedding of the second brother and the third brother .
But now he is not in a hurry, if the matter is not settled, how can he go back with peace of mind, how can he be worthy of the trust of his father and brother, this world belongs to their Zhu family after all, if his family doesn't care, how can he count on others?
After thinking about it, holding the letter and said in a deep voice: "Then just change someone, Li Chenggui is not easy, raising a tiger will cause endless disasters!"
Seeing that King Qi's reaction was a bit excessive, Jiang Side hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is no need to overcorrect. After all, Li Chenggui is also counted as our single-handed support. He is a smart person, and ordinary people can't sit in this position."
"Then divide it! You can't hand over the whole of Goryeo to him, or even divide it into three or four states. Just according to the nationality, the Silla people can be ruled by Li Chenggui, and the rest of the Goguryeo and Baekje people..."
"Your Highness, although there are ethnic divisions in Goryeo, after hundreds of years of running-in, they are almost integrated, and it is not easy to separate them now."
"It's not easy and it's not impossible, just stir up hatred."
Jiang Side smiled and said: "I am a humble minister with little virtue, I am afraid you will have to deal with this matter."
Zhu Di's face froze, and Jiang Side continued: "Li Chenggui is not an ordinary person, especially after he is in charge of one side, if you return to the country, the soldiers and generals under your command will only know you but not us. If you are not here, no one can do it." If you use your arms and fingers, wouldn’t it be a waste of all previous efforts.”
Zhu Di regretted it very much at this moment, because when he first came, Jiang Side and others had a perfunctory attitude. After taking over the military power, they were all excluded, and they were not given any chance to intervene.
"Did you do it on purpose? Was this the arrangement of the elder brother?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's letters and seals have been handed over to you. The Crown Prince has no other orders for you. It is up to you to decide how to use them. If you really want to leave, you can go and confer Li Chenggui as Empress." Go straight home."
"you you!"
Jiang Side came up to him meanly and asked: "Speaking of which, both His Royal Highnesses, King Jin and King Chu, are married, so it's your turn, Your Highness. If you're in such a hurry to go back, can't you just wait..."
"roll!"
Jiang Side was kicked in the calf, grinning his teeth and ran out with a deep kick and a shallow kick. It happened that a monk in black robes in the next courtyard bowed and clasped his hands to send a group of people away.
The monk who sent him off walked towards him loosely with a Buddhist bead in one hand, looked into the room with his bald head stretched out, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qi agreed."
"Where are you?"
"I have met them all, and they have no problems. They are very willing to work for Daming."
"hehe."
Just as Yao Guangxiao is sure that Zhu Di will not leave, Jiang Side is not surprised that these people will agree to split their country. His Royal Highness Qi Wang is young and has a strong sense of responsibility. He is unwilling to do anything halfway. As for these old foxes, as long as they can maintain their own honor Privilege, splitting the country and splitting the nation is nothing.
...
Zhu Biao coaxed his furious old father helplessly: "The fourth child is only young, so there is no rush to get married. It would be a good thing to hone in Korea for a few more years."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Then you can let the second and third take his place. It's nothing to always hone one."
The so-called fragrance from far away is smelly from near, my father used to treat these little ones equally, but now that he has not seen the fourth child for many years, his fatherly heart has become more loving, and he is annoyed by the second and third children .
"How can this matter be easily replaced, not to mention that the second and third children have already married, and it is time to go to the fiefdom to take over the military power."
"What's more, Erchen didn't give orders to the fourth brother. He can choose what to do. If he wants to come back, he can come back."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but get even more angry: "We haven't seen anyone who doesn't go according to the prince's arrangement. It seems that there is a choice, but in the end, you must obediently follow your plan."
Zhu Biao bowed down when he heard the prince, and then said nothing. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh, knowing that there was nothing to discuss about this matter.
My sons, except for the fourth child, are raised under their noses. Naturally, it is inevitable to miss the lonely one. Goryeo is a poor and poor place.
Seeing that his elder son was still bowing his body and refused to raise his head, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to do nothing. The palms and backs of his hands were all fleshy, but the sweetheart was still this one.
"That's all, it's up to you."
Only then did Zhu Biao straighten his back, and he talked about the plan in a leisurely manner: "There are so many vassals looking at it, and I don't eat well in Ming Dynasty. "
With the development of maritime trade, after seeing the national strength of Ming Dynasty, more than 30 small countries have claimed their vassals and paid tribute.
There are advantages and disadvantages. No matter how small the country is, it is also their own. It is impossible to be willing to be annexed by others at will, so the method must be more particular, not too rude.
Scared them away directly, and it will take time and effort to bring them under the rule again. It is better to stabilize them and feed more bait on weekdays. At that time, there will be plenty of methods to adjust them, and it will be decent.
For example, in a simple move back then, Huang Yuanshou is now the side-by-side king of the Boni Kingdom in Borneo, leading the country’s soldiers and horses, and has invaded most of the Sulu Kingdom.
