Ming politicians

After receiving the emperor's imperial edict, Su Tiancheng was very unhappy. Although most of the imperial edict contained praiseworthy words, Su Tiancheng could see the meaning in it, which was to urge to continue the attack and not stop.

The entire combat deployment was determined by Su Tiancheng. Su Tiancheng was very clear about which step he should do. He was familiar with history. Because of his great success, he urged Hong Chengchou to launch an attack. As a result, Songshan was defeated. The Ming army was almost completely wiped out.In fact, something like this happened before. Just two years ago, Chen Xinjia, the governor of Liaodong at the time, rashly launched an attack on the Houjin Tartars. The result was a disastrous defeat. He almost lost the Guanningjin line of defense and lost the entire Liaodong.Now that he has learned such a lesson, Zhu Youjian still thinks about interfering in the affairs of the Golden Tartars after the conquest.

Su Tiancheng didn't need to think too much, he knew that there must be criticism in the court, and this kind of criticism has never stopped. There are always some people who rely on slandering others to gain benefits, or gain fun.

From this, Su Tiancheng thought that Zhu Shenxuan's life must be difficult. Although it is safe now, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. It seems that he is not only thinking about the Golden Tartars after the conquest , but also consider taking Zhu Shenxuan and his family to Dengzhou. Only when they arrive in Dengzhou can they be considered truly safe.

The cracks have already appeared, and there is no possibility of repairing them. After traveling for more than ten years, the iron-like facts clearly told Su Tiancheng that some things cannot be changed by manpower, and Zhu Youjian is not a bad person.At least he is a diligent emperor, an emperor who is willing to do things, but Zhu Youjian is not a wise emperor, he has no real ability, neither can stabilize the court or govern hundreds of officials.Nor can there be innovations to make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous. Zhu Youjian's shortcomings of being talented and ambitious will remain forever. No one will directly put forward such opinions to the emperor, unless he doesn't want to live anymore. Zhu Youjian, who is not firm, cannot have strong self-confidence, and will definitely be suspicious.Coupled with the instigation of the surrounding ministers, some natural decisions were made.

Su Tiancheng knew that if he didn't work hard, his final fate might be to die.

Su Tiancheng used to be very lazy and didn't want to live a very tiring life. Even after time travel, this kind of thinking still surfaced all the time.But he has no chance to be lazy, it's been a long time.Lazy thoughts can only be kept in his heart, but because of this easy-going personality, the knowledge he brings is fixed, and it also affects all his actions in the days of time travel.

Su Tiancheng upheld orthodoxy.He never had the idea of ​​overthrowing the emperor, and he knew the power of orthodoxy. He was even unwilling to change some backward understandings of the Ming court, thinking that these things were out of reach, such as changing the mode of education.It's not like he hasn't thought about these issues. As a former civil servant, he has a very clear understanding of the system, but Su Tiancheng understands even more. He wants to Making changes will require a more arduous effort, which may not be as simple as winning one or two battles.

Now, Su Tiancheng has to think about these issues. Although it is a bit late, as long as he starts to think and arrange, it will not be a problem. Su Tiancheng has the capital to do so.

Just after receiving the imperial decree, Qu Qingze came in.

"My lord, the North Korean envoy asks to see you."

"Oh, what are they doing?"

"The subordinates inquired, and the messenger said that they came to congratulate the victory."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face. The North Korean envoys came to Gaizhou, saying that they were congratulating the army on their victory. It was neither fish nor fowl, and it was completely unnecessary. North Korea was originally a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and its face changed very quickly. At that time, he immediately took refuge in the Houjin Tartars. Now that the imperial court has garrisoned troops in Pyongyang, it has turned to the Ming court.

Su Tiancheng is not very familiar with North Korea, but his impression after a few hundred years is not very good. At that time, North Koreans were called sticks on the Internet, which meant villains, treacherous, and extremely inflated vanity. It was originally a small country, but it had to be full of shame. Big country, of course, this is also the view of some people, not necessarily trustworthy.

The envoy was quickly brought in. He was a middle-aged man, wearing white national costumes. The Korean costumes are very special. They were also borrowed from the Sui Dynasty. The trouser legs and crotch were very fat, and the trousers were tied with ribbons. Clothes are similar to vests hundreds of years later, with a slanted front, no buttons, tied with a long cloth belt, and a robe on the outside. The robe also has no buttons, and is fixed with a cloth belt. The most interesting thing is the hat, which is flat and tall. very long.

After the envoy came in, he was about to kneel down, but Su Tiancheng quickly stopped him.

He is clear about the mystery here. Although North Korea is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, its king is also a monarch after all, and the envoys represent the monarch. After seeing the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he must kneel down and salute. Others are not qualified to enjoy it. With this kind of treatment, Su Tiancheng didn't care that the envoys knelt down, but these envoys were all for the benefit of their own country. After kneeling here, they would talk nonsense when they went to the capital, causing unnecessary conflicts.

"The envoy of Korea, Li Xuanji, on behalf of the king, congratulates you on your victory."

Li Xuanji speaks Chinese very well. North Korea has always worshiped Confucian culture. I don't know how many people learn Chinese. There are countless people who go to Ming Dynasty every year. There are even many Koreans who take the imperial examination.

"Please take me to convey my thanks to the King of Joseon."

After Li Xuanji reported his name, Su Tiancheng quickly understood that it seemed that this envoy was from the Li family. The king of North Korea was surnamed Li, and currently the Li family was in power. Unfortunately, the Li family could not stand on their own.

The North Korean envoys made a special detour to Gaizhou, not just for congratulations, and this so-called congratulations, the envoys went directly to the capital to express congratulations to the court, the effect was exactly the same, Su Tiancheng was not that simple.

Sure enough, Li Xuanji continued to speak.

"My lord, Your Majesty, please negotiate with your lord, and I implore your lord's permission on some matters."

Su Tiancheng frowned. It seemed that this Li Xuanji was also a straightforward person, and he didn't know why he spoke so directly.

Soon, Li Xuanji began to tell.

When it came time to talk about things, Li Xuanji was not so direct, and talked a lot in a roundabout way, and then took out a list of people's fingerprints from his body.

Su Tiancheng finally understood the meaning. It turned out that Li Xuanji's visit this time was about the territorial issue of North Korea.

North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, bordering the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, the geographical jurisdiction has been somewhat vague in history, and the disputed places are mainly in the Xuanzhou area, Xuanzhou, Pidao, Sumeru Island and Tieshan area, which used to be deserted. It was under the jurisdiction of North Korea, but after the game between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty began, the geographical location of Xuanzhou and Pidao became more important. After Mao Wenlong occupied Pidao, it attracted the attention of the Ming court and the Houjin Tartars, and became Jierhalang once led troops to attack Xuanzhou and Pidao. During the reign of Emperor Apocalypse, Xuanzhou and Pidao were directly controlled by the Ming army. At that time, North Korea was still a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. The Houjin Tartars took over, and North Korea became a vassal state of Houjin.

Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning camp, occupied Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, and set up an ambush in Xuanzhou, wiped out Daishan's Zhenghongqi, and captured Daishan alive. From this time on, the Ming court began to regain control of Xuanzhou, and Sending troops to Pyongyang, North Korea, strengthened control over North Korea.

When Li Xuanji came this time, he was talking about the ownership of Xuanzhou and other places, and he also brought something that some people in Xuanzhou and other places had pressed their fingerprints on. The purpose was to implore the Ming court to return Xuanzhou and other places.

Su Tiancheng did not accept the letter, but Qu Qingze did.

Su Tiancheng felt it was funny. The king of North Korea surnamed Li didn't know which tendon had a problem, but at this time, he thought of the problem of the country. If he didn't have rich historical experience, he knew that it would be impossible to completely conquer a country. Nation, Su Tiancheng led a large army long ago, completely wiped out North Korea, and placed North Korea under the territory of Ming Dynasty. In this era, with power, everything is possible. As for diplomacy and other activities, it is completely superficial.

It seems that the Joseon royal family knew very well that it would not be of much use to go directly to Daming capital to talk about land issues, so they thought of finding themselves, hoping to open the gap.

Su Tiancheng will never spit out what he got. He has suffered too many losses before, and he has learned his lesson long ago, not to mention the issue of territory. In this regard, Su Tiancheng has no concessions, and he still wants to be able to occupy More territory, including land that was forcibly taken by neighboring countries hundreds of years later.

After Li Xuanji finished speaking, Su Tiancheng spoke coldly.

"As an envoy, I admire you for fulfilling your duties, but please go back and tell your king that Xuanzhou, Tieshan and other places are my Ming's territory. There is no dispute about this. If your king is not convinced , you can go directly to the capital and talk to the emperor. I don’t need to talk about such things here. Xuanzhou is prosperous under the rule of my Ming court. They can move to Pyongyang, and if they feel the distance is far away, I, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, can definitely help them."

Li Xuanji's face changed. He may not have thought that what Su Tiancheng said was so straightforward, and he would also liquidate the people who signed and pressed their fingerprints. It seems that there is no need to think about any results in matters related to the territory. If it's not done well and offends this lord, the Li family may not be able to rule North Korea.
