Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 649: North Korean ministers rushed to pledge allegiance to the Japanese army but were forced to fight to the death

Although there is much to be said about the succession of the throne between Zhengtong and Jingtai dynasties, not every minister is obsessed with arguing with the emperor today.

Quan Bo and Han Minghui were among the former North Korean ministers who most actively expressed their loyalty to the emperor. They first followed Li Yao in launching a coup and deposed Li Hongwei; then they supported Li Hongwei in launching a mutiny and restoration and placed Li Yao under house arrest.

He was so capricious and courting Qin and Mu Chu. If he didn't hug the emperor's thigh quickly, he would soon be eaten by a group of hungry wolves.

Therefore, Han Minghui, who was leading the negotiations with the Japanese army, had no sincerity at all. He wanted the negotiations to break down and then force the Japanese army to fight to the death.

Han Minghui knew in his heart: The Japanese army aiding Korea was completely destroyed. The Korean army suffered heavy losses in the final battle and there were not many elites left. This result is what the emperor of tomorrow wants to see most.

Figure out the holy will, cater to the emperor, and accept the certificate of surrender. This is Han Minghui's wishful thinking.

This was very painful for the two commanders-in-chief of the Japanese army. It was the first time for Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Mune to see such negotiations. It was clear that both sides could save tens of thousands of lives by accepting surrender, but the other side insisted on forcing themselves to be trapped animals. In a fight, the fish will die and the net will be destroyed, and both sides will suffer losses.

In fact, as long as there is a slight step, the Japanese army will be very willing to get off the slope, but the Ming Dynasty will not give up life or death.

Hosokawa Katsumoto even asked Fan Guang with a hint of luck: "Marquis Shenwu, as long as we are released back to Japan, we can pay the ransom, plus war compensation.

All compensation will be paid in silver. What do you think? "

Fan Guang shook his head: "Since I have agreed that Han Shangshu will host the peace talks, you can talk to him."

Hosokawa Katsumoto could only look at Han Minghui.

Han Minghui stretched out three fingers and made a gesture.

"30 million taels?"

Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Sect were not visible on the whole, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.

But Han Minghui shook his head firmly and shattered their illusions: "It's not 30 taels, it's 300 million taels, and this is just a ransom.

The Ming Dynasty suffered more than 20 casualties and consumed countless soldiers, horses, money and food. The compensation for this part of the war was at least 200 million taels.

Taken together, the total is 500 million taels of silver. When will this silver be transported to Beijing, when will you be released back to Japan? "

After hearing this, Hosokawa Katsumoto completely understood that he did not want peace talks at all.

Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Soquan returned to Anbian City in disgrace. Surrender, the Ming and Korean armies will not allow it. Let's fight to the death. We need food but no food, and we need firearms but no firearms. Street fighting is somewhat better. If we break out of the city, , that is the life of being massacred.

The most important thing is that the Muromachi shogunate is no longer able to rescue.To rescue this Japanese army, the entire navy needs to be dispatched, along with [-] to [-] elite troops, to be successful.

The problem is that a civil war is raging in Japan. If so many troops are sent out, the Muromachi shogunate will collapse immediately.

Besides, in Ashikaga Yoshimasa's heart, he might have wished that Hosokawa Katsumoto, Yamana Sozen and others would all die in Korea, so that he could have monopolized power.

Under the supervision of Fan Guang and Fang Ying, the Korean army was very disciplined and never used weapons without authorization during the negotiations.As soon as Hosokawa Katsumoto returned to camp, he immediately launched an attack.

……

Zhu Qiyu hugged his two beloved concubines and made love to each other in bed for a long time before finally getting up.

After washing and sitting on the couch, Linglong had already placed breakfast on the coffee table.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "We have donkey meat on fire for breakfast. Is today the main focus on nostalgia?"

Linglong smiled and said: "Fire-roasted with egg soup, it's better than a living god. My husband will eat and drink enough so that he can work for us."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have eaten this donkey meat on fire. If I could go back and be re-elected, I would be a prince, marry two women, and then go to places like Burma and Siam to live freely. ”

Qianxue teased from the side: "Husband, stop dreaming. Now, you still want to get rid of us. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

You'd better eat quickly and read the memorial. "What's going on today?" "

"The cabinet is asking you, who should be the examiner for the Shuntianfu Township Examination?"

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Do I have to decide this kind of thing myself?"

Qianxue replied: "Wang Wen's son Wang Lun and Chen Xun's son Chen Ying are both going to take part in this Shuntianfu Provincial Examination. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, the cabinet cannot decide on the examiner of the Provincial Examination without authorization."

"They asked me, how do I know? Japan won't be able to defeat it for a while, which makes people lose their energy. I just want to sleep at home now."

Qianxue handed over the memorial: "The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel have provided several candidates. Please take a look, husband."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "This Liu Yan looks familiar. I remember he seemed to be the number one scholar in the orthodox seven years, right? Okay, let's just him.

I have recently reached the stage of exhaustion. I really don’t want to have to deal with these messy things every day when I open my eyes. I want to be the emperor.

No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty would become cowardly emperors after being in office for a long time. Only after I have been emperors did I know how difficult it is to endure.

I have only been emperor for seven years and I am tired. Those of them who have been emperor for decades can really persevere.

Let Zhu Wenfang launch a coup and seize power quickly. "

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu pinched Zhu Qiyu slightly: "Zhu Shoumen, don't keep daydreaming. Zhu Wenfang is busy accompanying the little girl every day. How can he have time to talk to you?"

Qianxue quickly came up to block her: "You girl, don't hit my man. When I came back, Aunt Wang was already here, and she went to Changle Palace to talk to the queen.

You and Ningxiang should go out and wait on her as soon as possible. It would be best if you let her stay in Changle Palace for one night.Then my husband belongs to the three of us today. "

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Aren't you three going?"

Qianxue shook her head: "You have a good relationship with everyone. Ningxiang is the favorite of the group. The three of us are introverted and we are not familiar with her. We don't want to go out, so we should stay at home and serve the man.

However, in order to prevent you two from speaking ill of us, I have to put a door in your little mouths. "

Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang both changed their expressions: "No, we have a very strict tone."

Qianxue shook her head: "That won't work. A good woman can't say no, so just lie down on the couch and spread your legs."

Zhu Qiyu looked at his two little concubines being forced with sympathy, but he could do nothing to help. He could only shake his head and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, we are enemies in the same industry, and women are always more cruel to women.

Su Xi pulled Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, stop looking at them and tell you good news. News came from Shandong that Yue Zheng has returned to Jiaozhou Military Port from Annan with hundreds of warships.

After two more months of preparation, I can leave for Japan. "

"Hundreds of warships?"

Su Xi nodded: "Yes, 120 ships to be precise. The smallest ones are [-]-material warships, which are about the same size as Zheng He's warships on his voyages to the West. The largest one is a [-]-material warship, and the hull is also wrapped The armor was built as the flagship of the Jiaozhou Navy.

There are also a dozen warships worth [-] materials.

This is half of the warships built by Annan. There are still fifty warships left in Annan. The Fujian Navy is also allocated fifty warships, and another twenty or thirty warships are given to the Guangdong Navy. "

"Hey, there are so many ships. How much did it cost me?"

"More than 200 million taels. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, a warship with 5000 materials cost [-] taels. Our shipbuilding costs are much higher.

A warship with three thousand materials costs about 7000 taels, and a warship with five thousand materials costs about 5000 taels. "
