I want to be a grandson

Chapter 566

Qu Tao continued: "Later, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and there were remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who went deep into the desert and grasslands to pursue them until they were beaten into a panic. At this time, Goryeo sent troops to Jeju Island, and they were defeated many times...

It was not until the 25th year of Hongwu that Goryeo defeated Jeju, and after the annexation of Jeju, the people of Jeju were not convinced, especially the Mongols on the island rebelled at every turn, which made Goryeo very anxious..."

"Your Majesty, Jeju Island controls Koryo in the north, controls the Japanese slave kingdom in the east, and connects Daming in the west. It is of great benefit to the imperial court to control these two countries and the Japanese pirates...

If one day enters the Japanese slave country, this is a good logistical supply and a resting place for soldiers and horses.

When the Yuan Dynasty conquered Japan, Tamna was not only a place of logistics, but weapons and armaments were not counted, and more than a hundred warships were built, and it was also the starting point for the eastern expedition to the Japanese slave country..."

Qu Tao's meaning is very clear, that is, he has won Jeju Island!

And the benefits of Jeju Island for controlling Goryeo and the Japanese slave country are obvious!

Lian Zining frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "Jeju Island is in the hands of Goryeo after all, if it is taken back now... I'm afraid it's hard to say..."

Tie Xuan said in a timely manner: "At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Jizhou was used as a place to exile prisoners. My Ming followed the old system of the Yuan Dynasty and used Tamna as a place to exile prisoners. The court exiled Chen Li, the son of Chen Youliang, and Ming Sheng, the son of Ming Yuzhen, to Jeju Island.

After a few hundred Yuan, the captured Mongolian nobles were sent to Jeju Island... Even today, my Ming Dynasty still has certain jurisdiction over Jeju Island, so it doesn't matter if it is taken back! "

Lian Zining said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Goryeo is still following the agreement to provide us with the war horses produced in Jeju..."

"When it comes to the end of the war horse, you will be angry!"

Sheng Yong said with a look of resentment: "You have not seen what kind of horse Gao Li provided with your own eyes! You will be indignant if you see it!

Jeju is a very suitable place for raising horses, with abundant water and grass and a suitable climate. It was also used as a place for raising horses in Mongolia.

When the Yuan Dynasty fell, there were still [-] to [-] war horses in Tamla. These were Mongolian horses, the best war horses!But what Goryeo provided us was nothing more than "country horses", short and thin, and they looked inferior at first glance!
By the way, didn't the horses provided by Goryeo arrive in the capital?If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look, and you will know it at a glance! "

Zhu Yunxi frowned, looked at Hubu Langzhong and said: "Why, the horses sent by Goryeo are so unbearable! Really can't be used as war horses?"

"This……"

Bao Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although the stamina of the Koryo pony is relatively good, it is still not enough to be used as a war horse..."

"Qu Tao, go and see for yourself what kind of goods they sent!" Zhu Yunxi ordered, obviously a little angry.

"Yes, I obey!"

After the few people dispersed and left the palace, Qu Tao now wanted to go and see the horses. This was also an errand assigned by His Majesty, and His Majesty was obviously waiting for an answer, so he didn't dare to wait.

Thirty miles to the east of the capital, there is a horse farm, which is the place to receive Korean horses.

There was still snowflakes in the sky, and when Qu Tao came here on horseback, the officer in charge of raising the horses hurried over to greet him and took Qu Tao to watch.

Looking at the low ponies, Qu Tao frowned even more. Although he knew that there would be such a result before coming, he saw with his own eyes that they could only be used for pulling carts. Ma Shi still couldn't stop his anger.

Daming originally lacked war horses. In order to obtain horses, Daming traded tea horses with Xirong, and occasionally obtained horses from the grassland. The number of war horses available was still limited!
Goryeo, a small country in Quer, dares to fool it like this!

"Are all the horses sent by Goryeo here?"

"If you go back to the general, it's all here, it's all here..."

"Where is the man who sent the horse, let him come to see me!"

Seeing his gloomy expression, the petty official trembled in fright and said, "The Koryo official in charge... of delivering the horses is in the public office, eating wine, already drunk... the little one called him for the general?"

Qu Tao waved the whip in his hand, "Go, bring him here!"

After a while, a small official who was drunk and dressed in Goryeo was helped by two small officials.

The Koryo official staggered as he walked, and yelled dissatisfiedly: "I haven't finished the wine yet, don't pull me... let me finish eating, let me go, you guys are too rude ,I want……"

He can speak clearly, although his articulateness is not very fluent, but he can understand every sentence, after all, how can he not know how to communicate if he is responsible for feeding the horses.

The little official was pulled up to Qu Tao. He looked at Qu Tao, smiled drunkenly and said, "Who are you? You are drinking with me? Come, come, come... Your Central Plains wine is good, and the meat is also good, hehe , in your words, if you don't get drunk, you don't return..."

Qu Tao frowned, looking at him with disgust, "I ask you, where did these horses come from? Why are they all low ponies!"

"You mean a horse, of course it is our Gao Lisheng's horse! Despite its small size, this horse's stamina...is not small!"

"According to the agreement between Daming and Goryeo, you should provide [-] high-quality war horses every year. Is this a war horse? Also, how much is this amount? Is it enough for [-] horses?" His gaze turned to the little official next to him.

The little official hurriedly said: "Reporting to the general, the horses sent by Goryeo are 260 three horses, and 730 seven horses are missing..."

The Koryo official said nonchalantly, "This year's weather is not good, coupled with plague and disease, many war horses have died, but we still have more than 200 horses... we put together a patchwork of horses, which is not enough this year. Just keep it for now, it’s not easy for us in Korea..."

Qu Tao stared, "Presumptuous! How dare you be disrespectful!"

The Koryo official said with a rascal face: "There is no disrespect, but our Koryo really can't produce so many war horses, uh..." He hiccupped, the wine in his stomach welled up, and he ran to the side and vomited...

Qu Tao gritted his teeth, of course he knew it was all an excuse!

But how to deal with the matter still needs to be decided by His Majesty, and he is really not in the mood to argue with this drunk.

Back in the Jinshen Hall, Qu Tao obviously found that the atmosphere here was obviously dignified.

Both the eunuchs and the maids lowered their heads and beat their chests, silently daring not to speak, even the guards outside the palace were cautious.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi sitting on the chair with a displeased face, Qu Tao hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's peace!"

There is also a memorial on the ground in front of him, which was obviously thrown on the ground by the emperor.

Can make the emperor angry, do not know what is written in this memorial?
Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to let him stand up, and Qu Tao reported to him what he saw.

"On the ground is the official letter of Korea, take a look."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys."

Qu Tao picked up the national book and read it, but his eyes sank as soon as he caught it, and his face became more and more serious.

"Your Majesty, Goryeo is too presumptuous. The words in the letter of credence are not condescending, and there is still the respect of the vassal state for the upper state!"

Zhu Yunxi asked: "Jiang Yu, who wrote the national letter of Goryeo?!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who wrote this letter of credence is the right-hand man of King Li Seunggui of Goryeo, Fenghua Lord Zheng Daochuan."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and ordered: "The statement from Gaoli is frivolous and insulting, send people to Gaoli, and let Zheng Dao come to the capital!"

In history, in the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent Shang Baosi Cheng Niu Niu and others to North Korea on the pretext of "frivolous and insulting" on the note posted by North Korea, and asked Zheng Daochuan to come to Nanjing to explain the situation by name.

Li Chenggui secretly consulted the court officials for this, and most of them advocated not to hand it over, and finally refused to hand it over on the grounds that Zheng Daochuan had "swelling beriberi disease".

In the following year, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to pursue Zheng Daochuan, and Li Chenggui said that Zheng Daochuan had not recovered from his illness.The Chung Do-jeon issue further deteriorated relations between Myung-North and North Korea.

In April of the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang even threatened that if Li Chenggui continued to use Zheng Daochuan, the two countries would further turn against each other, and the Ming Dynasty would also ask for punishment.

Zheng Daochuan still resisted, and urged Li Chenggui to prepare to break the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, train soldiers, and teach the formation map to prepare for the attack on Liao.

Although Zuo Zhengcheng Zhao Jun stopped him in the end, Li Chenggui had no intention of handing over Zheng Daozhuan as required by the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the relationship between Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty is not as intimate and respectful as some videos or public accounts in later generations said!
"Jiang Yu, although Li Chenggui trusts Zheng Daochuan very much, he is not monolithic in the highlands. I heard that he ranked fourth in the founding project, and the remaining three are Pei Kelian, Zhao Jun, and Jin Shiheng."

Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, especially Zuo Zhengcheng Zhao Jun has a lot of disagreements with him... Besides, Li Chenggui's son..."

"forget it!"

Zhu Yunxi interrupted him impatiently, "Don't meddle in the affairs of Goryeo, leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate!"

"Yes, I obey..." Jiang Yu carefully fell on the ground, kowtowed before silently getting up and stepping aside.

In His Majesty's question, the meaning expressed is to let Jin Yiwei act and provoke among the ministers of Koryo...

However, according to Jin Yiwei's report, the relationship between Li Chenggui and his son Li Fangyuan has reached the point of fire and water, because Li Chenggui listened to Zheng Daochuan's suggestion to get rid of the princes' private soldiers.

If this is used a little bit, it will set off a huge wave in Korea!
But I haven't said it yet, why did His Majesty stop it?And don't let yourself intervene in the affairs of Korea?
On the way back to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxi specially chose a snow field that had not been cleaned by the eunuchs.

At the corner of his mouth, there was a vague, seemingly sly smile.

If a country can be plunged into chaos without any effort, Zhu Yunxi is of course willing to go with the flow.

Jiang Yu's proposal was correct, but it made Zhu Yunxi think of more!

In a later life, he has seen a movie called Assembly, in which the male lead and male supporting role have to sneak into the rear of the enemy army, and let the people below prepare Syngman Lee's military uniform,
Later, the male supporting role stepped on a landmine and encountered an American tank. At this tense moment, the male protagonist asked several people to put down their guns, and pointed to the helmet on his head, "Sungman Rhee's allies... success or failure depends on this body." Skinned."

"But we don't know Korean, do we?"

"We won't say it, and the Americans won't even say it!

A very funny saying was also born, "The front wheel does not turn and the back wheel turns Smecta..."

This was not mentioned twice in the very popular movie back then, so Zhu Yunxiu specially searched the Internet to learn about the history of the Lee family.

In 31, that is, the [-]st year of Hongwu, Li Fangyuan, the son of Li Chenggui, launched the first princely rebellion. His eldest son Li Fangshuo, his mother and brother Li Fangfan, brother-in-law Li Ji, etc. were all killed, and Zheng Daochuan's faction was eliminated...

In other words, if you don't have to do it yourself, Goryeo will fall into internal struggles,
Moreover, instigating his son to try to usurp the throne doesn't match the glorious image of himself and Daming...

So why get your hands dirty?

……

Zhang Fu immediately began to prepare for the establishment of Penghu Wei.

This was the first military matter that he participated in, so he was very concerned, and immediately entangled Qu Tao, and wanted to get some students from the martial arts lecture hall from him, which was also approved by His Majesty.

After Zhu Yunxi looked at the list of students in the martial arts hall, he finalized a few candidates and asked them to take up the positions of thousand households and hundred households respectively.

Afterwards, Zhang Fu went to the Chief Secretary of Fujian non-stop, and wanted to move several soldiers from the coastal thousand households to the Penghu Islands.

With the emperor's decree, and Zhang Fu is a close minister of the emperor, who is favored,

So after coming to Fujian, every official was polite to him, and no one dared to make things difficult for him. Whether it was personnel, ships, or supplies, the preparations went very smoothly.

At this time, in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, Zhang Fu's father, Zhang Yu, reported the frontier defense to the Yanwang Zhu Di.

"His Royal Highness, the battle arrangements for the two guards on the left and right of Yanshan Mountain have been prepared. The soldiers take turns to guard every day. The winter clothes and food for the winter have been distributed.

As long as the Tatars dare to come, they will be investigated immediately, and they will be able to respond in time, please rest assured, Your Highness. "

Zhu Di sat on the chair and said politely: "Shimei is a veteran in the battlefield, and the deployment is naturally thorough. This king has nothing to worry about. Shimei, let's use tea."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." Zhang Yu picked up the teacup on the coffee table beside him, and drank with Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di said as if he was doing something homely: "Shimei, your family is not around, and the weather in the north is cold. I'm afraid this winter will be a bit difficult."

"The general is used to it and can bear it."

At this time Yao Guangxiao suddenly said: "Your Highness, the county chief of His Royal Highness King Jin has come to pay the ceremony, and he sent a special letter, firstly to congratulate him, and secondly, King Jin asked His Royal Highness to find a good marriage for the princess..."

Zhu Di spread his hands, and said helplessly: "If the Beiping Mansion wants to defend against the Oirat Tartars, it also needs to look at the Duoyan Sanwei, as well as the Jurchen ministries.
These enemies have already given me a lot of trouble. Send someone to send some gifts. My niece has a big event, so I, as an uncle, just do my best. "

"As for marriage, I really don't have any suitable young talents around me, so I'm powerless..."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were deep, and he set his eyes on Zhang Yu...
