Chapter 558 North Korea: Why did the Ming Dynasty suddenly become bullish?(1/2)

The hatred between North Korea and Japan has been around for a long time. It can be said that North Korea's land is like a piece of fat meat, which has been placed in front of Japan, making Japan want to take a bite. After so many years, it has never stopped.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japan had already made a vote, but was defeated by Liu Rengui at Baijiangkou.

After so many years, Japan's thoughts have never been extinguished. After the Ming Dynasty, it was repeatedly invaded and fought against North Korea, all the big and small.

During the three major battles of Wanli, Japan was beaten up again. The hatred between the two sides went to the point, but in fact they still fought again later?

Japan still wants to take down North Korea, march from North Korea into the three eastern provinces, occupy all China, rule Southeast Asia, and conquer a large territory. It can be said that a serious small country has great ambitions and has been doing things.

During World War II, Japan once created a notorious **** circle.

In fact, during the three major battles of Wanli, Tokugawa Ieyasu Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others proposed this imagination: first take down North Korea, then occupy the Ming Dynasty, and finally attack Southeast Asia to establish a large empire.

But the plan was still alive before it even started. Unexpectedly, it started again during World War II.

Then everyone knew that Japan had failed again.

This is a country that has always wanted to go from islands to land, and has always wanted to obtain a habitat on land and build a very large empire, but it has never been successful.

North Korea must be unhappy with this neighbor who is wandering around. However, North Korea cannot defeat Japan and has been bullied for so many years. If the Ming Dynasty did not support North Korea, it would probably have destroyed its country. Under such circumstances, North Korea would be powerless to fight back.

During the three major battles of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty could no longer hold on to such a war in the later period. After all, it was impossible to hold on to the multi-line war, and the country had no money.

But now it’s different. Zhu Youxiao is rich now, and there are people, how could he not do it?

Take North Korea to work together, and then divide some territory into Japan to North Korea.

The troops of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were integrated, and the troops were also together. With richer political and economic exchanges, how long can North Korea last in the hands of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know, but he was looking forward to it.

At this time, outside the city, Li Zong had already arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Along the way, it can be said that the mountains and rivers are far away. Since entering Dandong, Li Zong has become different.

Speaking of which, he was still a little excited, especially after learning that Emperor Ming came to Liaodong this time to fight.

Li Zong has been bullied by Nurhaci many years, especially when the Ming Dynasty was powerless. Now he is finally going to fight back, which is to avenge them.

What's more, Li Zong is a hard-core pro-Ming faction. The stronger the Ming Dynasty, his power becomes, and the more stable it becomes, which is very important.

Sitting in the carriage and looking out from time to time, Li Zong could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.

I was about to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't know what he wanted to say to him. No matter what he wanted to say to him, it would be a good thing in the end.

Next to Li Zong, many North Korean ministers came.

These people supported Li Zong at the time and were also a hard-core pro-Ming faction. Now that they have such an opportunity to communicate and learn in the Ming Dynasty, they can still meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is a rare opportunity.

After the group arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people waiting here.

Sun Chengzong stood beside the crowd.

Standing next to Sun Chengzong was Wei Chao. The two of them had been waiting here for a while. However, they had been resting in the room next to them before. After receiving the guards' report, they came out to stand next to the crowd.

Although the other party is the king of North Korea and needs to maintain enough respect, Liaodong is too cold now. If you stand at the door for a while, the two of them will be in poor health and they will probably have a cold. If this is infected with wind and cold, it will be difficult to deal with.

Park Jung-hong came to Li Zong and said, "King, the people from the Ming Dynasty are in front of us."

"Who is here?" After hearing this, Li Zong's face became excited and turned around and asked Park Jung-hong.

"The King of Hui is Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff of the Ming Dynasty's Staff Office, and Wei Chao, the eunuch of the Silijian. "Park Zhenghong hurriedly said: "These two are close people to the current emperor, and Sun Chengzong is also the teacher of the current emperor."

After hearing this, Li Zong suddenly became excited.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really valued himself, and the person sent to welcome him was of extraordinary status.

Li Zong said to Park Jung-hong beside him: "Please stop, I want to get off the car, and I must get close to the two ministers."

Park Jung-hong didn't say anything, she should indeed be close to each other.

Although his own king was a king in Korea, he was a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty. Faced with a top minister like others, he still could not win.

Park Jung-hong said, "Okay, please come and ask for preparation."

After waiting for each other for a short time, the two sides met.

Sun Chengzong looked at Li Zong up and down and found that he was a fat man with a weak look, and his steps were very frivolous when walking.

However, Sun Chengzong did not dare to neglect and quickly bowed and said, "I have met the king."

Wei Chao, who was on the other side, also smiled and bowed, saying, "I have met the king."

Li Zong walked over with a smile, reached out to hold Sun Chengzong's hand, and helped him up. He walked to Wei Chao's side, reached out to hold his hand, and helped him up.

Li Zong's actions were very unfamiliar, and it can be seen that he did not often do such actions before.

However, Li Zong still looked very happy and said in a very kind tone: "The cold weather makes you welcome me here. I am really sorry. The world is colder, so don't freeze your body."

"Come on, bring up the gifts I have prepared!"

Following Li Zong's words, the eunuch behind him brought the prepared gifts and delivered them directly to Sun Chengzong and Wei Chao.

Li Zong said directly: "Don't dislike you little things, please accept them. There is a sable fur made by our North Korea's best squid velvet master. You can accept them to keep the cold."

This time when I came to the Ming Dynasty, Li Zong prepared a lot of gifts.

In addition to gifts to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they were more gifts to ministers of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Li Zong came to the Ming Dynasty this time not only to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but this is something to be discussed.

Since the Ming Dynasty established a firm foothold in Liaodong, the trade between the two sides has been very, very large in recent years. Li Zong didn’t know how much money the Ming Dynasty made from North Korea, but he knew that he must have made a lot of money.

So Li Zong wanted to sell some things from North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and this matter should be discussed with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, someone in the court has already proposed that if the Ming Dynasty continues to make money from North Korea, North Korea will one day not be able to hold on.

In fact, since the merchants of the Ming Dynasty opened the gate, they had a lot of fun in the dumping transactions, and could sell everything very cheaply before selling it.

No matter what price you are in North Korea, I am cheaper than you. Using the price to go out, almost destroying North Korea's small peasant economy.

North Korea cannot continue to have self-sufficient model. If it continues like this, North Korea feels that it will be over.

So this time Li Zong came to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty crying poor, so he brought so many gifts to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his close ministers, asking them to help.

The gift was sent, but Wei Chao did not dare to take it.

He turned to look at Sun Chengzong, and the meaning was obvious, so he asked Sun Chengzong to refuse, and then he refused by the way.

What Wei Chao did not expect was that Sun Chengzong actually accepted the gift without hesitation.

After taking a look at the best sable fur, Sun Chengzong's face was filled with joy, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Li Zong: "Good thing! Thank you for the reward of the king, I will refuse it."

In addition to the sable fur, there is also a small box next to it, which must be gold, silver, jewelry and the like.

Sun Chengzong didn't look at it either, and asked his subordinates to take it over.

Wei Chao was a little embarrassed at once, so he could only bite the bullet and take it away, thinking in his heart how to explain to the emperor when he went back.

"So, lord, let's go to the city." Sun Chengzong had a smile on his face and a very polite tone, and he was more enthusiastic than he had just now.

"Let's go in with you." Li Zong seemed to be interested suddenly and said with a smile: "Along the way, I want to find a city of Ming Dynasty to take a look. But I was anxious to see Your Majesty, so I dare not delay, and I have no chance. Now that I have arrived here, I have a chance."

"I wonder if you can accompany me and introduce the scenery of the Ming Dynasty to me?"

After hearing this, the expression on Sun Chengzong's face remained unchanged, but he knew in his heart that this Korean king didn't want to see a city.

What's so good about places like Shanhaiguan? Do you want to see such a majestic pass?

They didn't dare to call him. They just wanted to get close to themselves and ask for something.

After all, this thing has just been sent out, and it is the best choice to strike while the iron is hot. If you go back to find someone, the thing will be collected and the enthusiasm will be cool. If you ask someone for something, who else will tell you?

"Of course there is no problem." Sun Chengzong said enthusiastically: "As long as the king thinks, there is no problem."

The group began to walk around the city.

At the beginning, he naturally had some polite words. Li Zong praised Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong was modest, and Wei Chao checked for shortcomings and made up for the gaps. Park Zhenghong, who was beside Li Zong, asked from time to time, looking at diligent and easy-to-ask.

The two sides were having a lot of talk.

After crossing two streets, Li Zong then moved the topic to the main topic.

"Sir Sun, why are there so many Mongolians on the street? It looks very respectful." Li Zong looked around and asked in confusion, but his tone was very casual.

"It's nothing, I'm here to meet His Majesty." Sun Chengzong said naturally, as if this was a normal situation, without any pride at all.

He seemed to be saying, I'm used to it. There was still a little bored in his tone, as if he was saying, "I'm so annoying about these people."

This attitude surprised Li Zong, and even Park Jung-hong around Li Zong was a little surprised.

They did see that the Mongols were very polite, without any intention of showing off their power.

This is not right. Didn’t you hear that the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been fighting all the time? You also said that the Mongols were unruly?

These Mongols and Huang Taiji are allies, so why have they become like this now?

Although North Korea knows the Ming Dynasty very well, they still don’t know some things and things inside the Ming Dynasty, and no one tells them. In this case, they are inevitably confused.

Naturally, Sun Chengzong would not explain to them. If you don’t know, it’s unfathomable, just right.

"There is a war ahead, and I believe that news will come soon. Your Majesty will summon these people at that time. After all, after Huang Taiji was defeated, the situation here will become clear and clear, and many things need to be discussed again." Sun Chengzong added next to him.

After hearing this, Li Zong's expression became serious.

Obviously, the Ming Dynasty was going to teach the Mongolians this time, and they were becoming more and more powerful.
