First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 606

  Chapter 606 It's a matter of course

   Zhu Di's words are very sincere, and Zhu Biao actually believes that he doesn't have too much ambition at this time, even if he should, he just makes contributions to prove himself to Lao Zhu.

  As the saying goes, the eldest son and the youngest are treasures, and the middle ones were picked up. Zhu Di is the fourth eldest, and there are three older brothers and younger brothers who can't be counted on one hand. It can be said that the sense of presence in the palace is quite weak.

Such a child will eagerly hope to prove himself. The Zhu family will win the world immediately. It is undoubtedly the best and most direct way to make contributions and expand the territory. Therefore, Zhu Di really hopes that there will be tough battles waiting for him to fight, rather than living for a lifetime. Under the wings of father and brother.

   "You fight the battle, I'm afraid you don't want to suffer."

   "The younger brother is not afraid of suffering!"

Zhu Biao chuckled and looked at the resolute Zhu Di and said, "I originally planned to let you go south to experience under Tang Shuai's command. Yunnan is undecided and Guizhou Chuping really needs a prince and prince to represent the court, but now the incident in Liaodong suddenly happened. , and Koryo Mongolia is involved..."

  Zhu Di immediately answered and said: "My brother is willing to go to Liaodong to take over Liaodong's rivers and mountains on behalf of my father and brother, and expand my territory of Ming Dynasty!"

Although we don't know much information, we can probably guess that the matter in Liaodong is complicated and changeable. Nahachu has never been a trustworthy person, but he is still willing to do it. He wants to become the king of Qi in Ming Dynasty, not the king of Qi. Your Highness.

   "Okay! But the big brother wants you to go to Goryeo instead of Liaodong, and you didn't go in the name of King Qi of Ming Dynasty. King Qi Zhu Di will only go south to conquer the Southern Army, so you still want to go?"

  Zhu Di couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard the words. He thought he was going to Liaodong to deter Naha from going out, and he was responsible for connecting the former Yuan generals who were openly and secretly attached to Ming Dynasty.

  Zhu Biao saw Zhu Di's confusion, and it was no surprise. Except for the third child, the other princes and princes were trapped in the palace, and they received very little news, and most of them were catching wind and shadows, which was not practical.

  After all, they are different from Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao can not only read all the memorials and official documents of the imperial court, but also the pro-military captain's mansion and many Eastern Palace officials as eyes and ears, and their sources of information are probably the maids and eunuchs who serve around them.

  Zhu Di took a deep breath and said: "My brother is determined, but please give me your orders."

  Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and told the general situation of Liaodong and Korea, but the matter was so complicated that Zhu Biao's mouth was dry and Zhu Di was dizzy when he heard it.

  However, the effect is still there. With the topographic maps of Liaodong and Koryo, Zhu Di at least understands the current situation, and digesting it will definitely be helpful for future plans.

  Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and drank it all. Zhu Di looked at his elder brother with confused and admiring eyes. Unexpectedly, his elder brother had already deployed outside the territory, and even controlled half of Korea with only Jiang Side and a monk.

Zhu Biao beckoned Fugui to replace it with new tea, and then continued: "After Naha came out and returned, his 200,000 deaths are like tasteless ribs to my Ming Dynasty. It's a pity to eat them and throw them away. It's better to use them to consume Goryeo Mongolian Jurchens. It's the best of both worlds. "

   "After you go to Korea, Jiang Side will arrange an identity for you to lead the army under Li Chenggui's command. Naha's deputy general Agudam will deliberately defeat and lead his troops to surrender to you. Tens of thousands of Mongolian elite cavalry are enough for you to gain a foothold in Korea."

Zhu Di was a little worried at first, but after hearing about the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, he no longer had any worries. Even if he went to Zhengnan Army, he would have at most more than ten thousand cavalry, and he was probably responsible for guarding the Chinese army. He deserved credit for the post-war effort, but that wasn't what he wanted.

  Zhu Di was a little puzzled and said: "If the eldest brother Nahachu came out in full force, Goryeo would not be able to resist at all. It is the elite of Mongolia, and Goryeo is a small barbarian country..."

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "You overestimate Naha's departure, and you underestimate Goryeo too. If Naha's departure can really take down Goryeo, do you think he will return to my Ming Dynasty now? He has already occupied Goryeo and declared himself emperor. gone."

"The purpose of this battle is not only to consume the generals sent by Naha, but also to deal with some of the noble generals of Korea. If there is no accident, both sides must suffer heavy casualties and corpses are strewn all over the field, but you are the only one who can win and stand out in this battle. And Li Chenggui."

Goryeo admired military exploits, especially the heroes who defeated the Mongols. Liaodong Naha Chubu was undoubtedly the representative of the Mongols in the eyes of the Goryeo people. What kind of prestige Li Chenggui had accumulated from a small victory in the past years, not to mention the current Zhu Biao is going to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to build a ladder for the two of them.

  When Zhu Di thought of those scenes, he couldn't help but get bloody, and said with a flushed face: "In that case, my brother, let's go immediately!"

   "Do you speak Korean?"

   "Ah... no..."

Zhu Biao reached out and tapped Zhu Di on the head and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late for you to leave next month, not to mention that you just swallowed the news just now, you don't really understand the truth, you still have to think about it carefully It's better to go on errand."

  Zhu Biao asked Fugui to find out the Korean secret letters sent by the pro-military captain's mansion in the past two years, as well as the letters between him and Jiang Side, Li Chenggui, Li Renren and others, and asked Zhu Di to take them back and read them carefully.

   "Don't help the second child plow the land tomorrow. I will arrange a Korean man. You can learn the Korean language and their customs from him. Know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated."

   "No."

Zhu Di bowed and retreated, Zhu Biao stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. After a few crisp bone sounds, he felt comfortable all over his body, and then looked around the map of Korea. If everything is done, then Zhu Di and Li Chenggui must not let go. Together, it is best to have one south and one north, one in Xikaido and one in Jeolla.

In fact, Zhu Biao had a vague feeling that this matter might not go as smoothly as he had arranged. The so-called planning is up to people to make things happen. How can it be so simple and easy when it comes to planning a country? This is why he asked Zhu Di to go in person. You have to choose someone who is strong enough and capable enough.

Sitting down, I wrote a letter to Jiang Side, Yao Guangxiao, and Li Chenggui respectively, stating the news that Naha will attack Goryeo on a large scale, and let them prepare in advance. The waste of one's own side who left had to be transferred away as soon as possible.

  As for Zhu Di's identity, it is actually simple. After Xin Tun's death, some officials were really hard to keep. Jiang Side simply sent them to the Daming Imperial Academy, and Zhu Biao naturally agreed.

  Among them are many of their nephews and nephews. It is not difficult to directly impersonate one of them. The truth is not as convincing as the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. In the end, everyone in Goryeo pinched their noses and recognized it.

What's more, Zhu Bian didn't intend to hide it very strictly. He even took the initiative to release the news after the situation stabilized. The Prince Daming secretly entered Korea. This is so sincere. What I'm afraid of is that I won't take it seriously if I take refuge in it. It's better to maintain the status quo.

  Of course, no matter what, Daming will never admit it. Our King of Qi, Zhu Di, has been conscripting the Southern Army, but he has never been to Korea. Besides, His Royal Highness, King Qi of the Ming Dynasty, how could he condescend to come to your poor place.

  Naha's move made Zhu Biao also have to speed up the process. After Koryo was securely won, Li Chenggui and Zhu Di would check and balance, and then the new native scholars of Korea would manage the people's livelihood. This is the safest situation.

  Korea stabilized Liaodong and most of them were stabilized. At that time, they will find a way to completely divide and domesticate the Jurchens. Those who are willing to change fishing and hunting to farming will stay in Liaodong or Koryo. Those who are unwilling will be driven into the grasslands and let them compete with Mongolia.

   At that time, it is a good choice whether to enter Japan or turn its attention to the Southeast Asian countries. In fact, Zhu Biao is still inclined to the Nanyang countries at present. Apart from hating Dongpu, that is, the silver mines are also a bit attractive.

  The land rich in grain in the Nanyang countries is undoubtedly more attractive. If the food is sufficient for the world, the world will be safe for business, and business will make the country rich, and the country will be rich and the people will be strong. Everything will come naturally.
