Chongzhen did not stay in Shandong, so he took Laizhou, Qingzhou and Huai'an, returning south day and night.

However, when Chongzhen returned to Nanjing, a bloody incident occurred in North Korea thousands of miles away. Zhu Cijiong finally waited for a godsend opportunity.

Things have to start with the Battle of Seoul.

After the Battle of Seoul, Li Hao died, and Li became the only grown-up son of Li Jing. In addition, Li Zhen was already sick and in short supply, so it was logical to supervise the country as the prince's son.

Later, Zhu Cijiong suggested that North Korea send craftsmen to work in Nanjing in exchange for Lumi.

At the beginning, it received the unanimous support of the North Korean monarchs and ministers, including Li Zhen, because North Korea was so poor that even the officials' Lumi could not be paid.

However, after ten days, North Korea's public opinion had a 180-degree reversal.

A group of ministers proposed that North Korea should also strengthen its military equipment, so instead of sending craftsmen to Nanjing, craftsmen should stay in the country to forge bird guns. If Ming needed bird guns, they could buy them from North Korea.

Almost all those who play politics are human beings, and they all know that craftsmen are the most precious resource.

Li Yu and his son felt that they were right when they heard it, so they cryptically raised their opinions with Zhu Cijiong.

"Father, it's Shen Jinyu." Li nodded and said again, "However, Shen Gong is here to visit Father."

Li, who was waiting outside the door, rushed into Li Zhen's bedroom, and asked with concern: "Father, are you thirsty?"

Zhu Cijiong further proposed restrictions to Li Ji and his son. The grain loaned to North Korea could only be distributed to the ministers who supported the dispatch of craftsmen as Lumi, and the ministers who opposed it could not get a grain of grain.

In just a few days, anti-Ming public opinion spread like poisonous weeds.

……

If you don't want to borrow money, you can also borrow grain. Although Daming is not very rich, you can still squeeze out a few million stone grains.

Xia Wanchun whispered again: "Prince Ding, the atmosphere in Seoul these days was not quite right. Now that something happened, it is very likely that there will be even bigger troubles. We need to take precautions as soon as possible."

Lee has no idea of ​​the sinisterness of politics.

North Korea must support the dispatch of artisans in order to borrow grain.

When the good news came to Seoul last time, Zhu Cijiong was not in Seoul, but went to Incheon Port to meet a treasurer of the Daming Shipping Shipbuilding Bank.

Li still didn't realize the danger, and said, "Father, just a few untouchables, just give me some food."

……

Then he brought Zhu Cijiong a shawl and tied it carefully.

Although Zuo Yizheng and Gu Inhou are his direct cousins, they have already joined the coup camp at the moment. One is because the forces involved in the coup are too large; Daming also failed to improve the situation, so he could only reshuffle the cards.

Zhu Cijiong said to Aunt Su Ma again: "Put on the armor for me."

It's just that Chongzhen was overjoyed. Although Zhu Cijiong thought of economic means, his usage of this economic means was extremely simple and rude, which was the binding of interests.

Aunt Su Ma hurriedly brought over the Type [-] rifle and the two pistols that were on the rack.

……

The second is that Zhu Cijiong didn't want to disappoint Chongzhen.

To put it simply, the profit of the North Korean company has suffered a serious loss. Although a large number of shareholders know that the decline in the company's profit is not due to the chairman, they still decide to change the chairman. In another world, Li Hui and The decades when Uncle Li Ji was in power was the most chaotic period in North Korea.

"Not thirsty." Li Zhen waved his hand and asked pantingly, "Son, was that Shen Jinyu just now?"

"It's not that simple." Li Yu didn't have time to explain, and directly ordered, "Hurry up, send someone to Dingwang's barracks to remind Dingwang and the Ming army to strengthen their guard, and then call Gu Renhou to lead the Gu family members into Wei Jingfu Palace."

Zhu Cijiong snorted coldly and said: "Not to mention this matter, my Ming soldiers were right in the first place, even if they were wrong, they were right. Agou, you go back and tell the frightened soldiers that this matter has been taken care of by the king."

The cause of the incident was that a group of Ming soldiers were besieged by North Koreans when they went to the street to buy vegetables. The Ming soldiers failed to warn them and were forced to fight back, shooting and killing two armed North Korean gangsters.

It means that North Korea can summon craftsmen from all over the country to make flintlock guns for Daming, but it can only be made for Daming in Seoul, and it is best for Daming to provide raw materials and then pay part of the expenses in advance.

Zhu Cijiong knew very well that his father asked him to lead an army of [-] to escort Li back to North Korea this time, not only to restore North Korea as a vassal state, but also to test his ability.

A faint blush welled up on Su Ma Laguqiao's face, and she whispered, "Be careful."

"Reporting King, that's the case." Captain Yu Agou said, "We didn't molested the Korean women, but those gangsters insisted that we molested the stall owner's daughter, and they wanted to take advantage of the number of people to snatch our guns. At that time, the situation was urgent, and I had no other choice so I ordered to shoot back, killing three and wounding a few more."

As a result, this matter was misled by people with ulterior motives.

The first is because of the lack of troops. This time I only brought 1000 new troops to North Korea. I lost 2000 people in the Battle of Seoul, and now there are only [-] people left. It is no problem to carry out surprise attacks with this amount of troops. It is absolutely impossible to occupy and effectively govern North Korea for a long time, so it cannot be forced for the time being.

After all, Daming's current enemy is Jiannu.

Even without the presence of the Ming army, without this conflict, the coup would still have broken out.

In fact, Li Zhen's judgment was quite correct.

Zhu Cijiong snorted when he heard the words, and said disdainfully: "Don't worry, it's just a handful of Korean sticks. I'm afraid I'm not capable enough to kill orphans. Let's go!"

The presence of the Ming army and the conflict with the Koreans only provided a flash point.

But the moment Li left the palace, Li Yan suddenly said: "Forget it, I don't want to call the Ju family into the guard, you should quickly send your servants to Jiangyuan, Zhongqing and the Yellow Sea, and order them to raise troops to serve the king!"

Seeing the dead, the Koreans who besieged the Ming army dispersed in a rush.

After Chongzhen heard the news, he was really relieved.

Li Jing woke up from the nightmare and coughed violently.

"King Qin? What does the father mean?" Li finally realized that something big was about to happen.

Zhu Cijiong inserted the two pistols into the left and right belts respectively, took over the Type 100 rifle from Lagu Su Ma, and finally slung the bullet bag filled with [-] rounds of paper shells on his left shoulder.

What is the establishment of the Seoul Branch?Borrowing, to be more precise, is to lend money to the Korean royal family.

Zhu Cijiong patted the left and right shoulders twice with his fist, and said again: "Gun!"

Young people are always eager to be recognized by their parents.

Xia Wanchun said: "Prince Ding, this subject has already been verified."

Xin said that he really underestimated Zhu Cijiong in the past. He used to think that Zhu Cihong had political savvy and skills. Zhu Cijiong had high military talent but average political talent.

The moment Zhu Cijiong turned to go out, Aunt Su Ma whispered, "Your Highness."

Zhu Cijiong frowned, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't call me that."

But after calming down, Zhu Cijiong gave up the idea of ​​using force.

Before solving the slave building, you can't make too many enemies.

And in this coup, their father and son will also become victims.

Xia Wanchun took the order and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Aunt Su Ma bowed her knees slightly, and stepped forward to put on Zhu Cijiong's armor again.

"Cough cough cough..."

To this day, there have been vicious incidents of Seoul citizens attacking the Ming army.

Aunt Su Ma took the hat in the end and helped Zhu Cijiong put it on his head.

But a bigger storm is brewing quickly in the dark.

"It's broken, it's going to break something big!" After all, Li Zhen had been king for decades, and he had a deep understanding of the dangers of politics, and instantly realized that a coup d'etat was imminent.

"King Xie Ding." Yu Agou heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left quickly.

But Li Jing was already aware of the danger.

So Zhu Cijiong decided to forbear for the time being and adopt soft methods.

I thought that Zhu Cijiong, a "reckless man", has learned to use economic means to solve problems?

"Yes, this servant understands." Aunt Su Ma obediently agreed, but her hands didn't stop. She quickly put on the breastplate and carapace for Zhu Cijiong, and fastened the left and right underarm leather belts one by one.

But this incident surprised Chongzhen a little.

Qian Feng came to Seoul at the invitation of Zhu Cijiong to establish a semicolon.

Zhu Cijiong paused, then looked back at Lagu Su Ma blankly: "What?"

"This orphan also thought about it." Zhu Cijiong said solemnly, "Go and bring Qian Feng and the others to the barracks, and then let all the soldiers be prepared with guns and live ammunition. It's fine if the North Koreans don't come this time. If they dare to come, they must be given one." Lessons from blood are useless, but let them taste the strength of the Ming army!"

The shopkeeper's name is Qian Feng, and he is also one of the first batch of Qin Wang scholars.

In the end, the whole of Seoul was rumored that they had to support the dispatch of craftsmen to Daming in order to receive Lumi. Anyone who dared to object would not receive a single grain of Lumi.

"Yu Agou, tell King Ding." Xia Wanchun said in a deep voice.

If in the end he had to send reinforcements from Nanjing, it would be like letting his father wipe his ass. This would undoubtedly make his father have serious doubts about his ability, which he could not tolerate.

Li didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told Li Jing about the conflict during the day.

"Confused, it's already at this time, and you still want to hide it from Gu?" Li Zhen's face became flushed, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or because of Li's anger, and then said, "What happened?"

Although Li was a little confused, he still prepared to arrange for his servants to report the letter according to the will.

"Stupid." Li Zhen couldn't hide his disappointment in his tone, "You and my father and son are dying."

Zhu Cijiong was so angry that he wished he could directly resort to force.

It was not until Li Hao succeeded to the throne that he worked hard to improve governance.

But now Li Hao is dead, and Daming is revived again.

North Korea was sandwiched between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the situation was even more difficult.

When the situation is difficult, internal conflicts become more acute.
