Wanli 1592

Chapter 1005 Come to Me

Empress Dowager Li's letters were very effective. Within a few months, Xiao Ruxun successively wiped out all the important vassals of the former Ming Dynasty in the locality.

The next step is to search for the clansmen of the Zhu Ming royal family in various places. Although some of these people have had a very miserable life, their surname is still Zhu. It's quite troublesome.

Adhering to the principle of killing mistakes and never letting them go, Xiao Ruxun instructed Zhou Yao to make full use of the power of Jinyiwei and Heishui in the local area.

However, if this is the case, if the Zhu Ming royal family with a total of about 10 people are arrested at this time, it will take a lot of energy, and Xiao Ruxun does not intend to do so.

Xiao Ruxun's goal is very clear, to wipe out all the royal families who can receive salaries in the near branch, and don't care about those royal families in the far branch who live like beggars and don't have any preferential treatment even if the Ming Dynasty still exists. A considerable part of them have even started to support themselves.

When the Ming Dynasty was still in existence, they had to rely on infiltrating prisons to eat and eat. When the Ming Dynasty was gone, Xiao Ruxun announced that they had the right to engage in the work of scholars, farmers, businessmen and four people. They were too happy.

The main reason is that about 4 people who are registered and still receive their salaries need to be taken down. These people are supported by the Ming court's finances, which is an unstable factor.

This operation started from February to June, and has captured more than 2 people, but the operation is still going on. As for those who have been arrested, they will be sent to Jeju Island for strict supervision in batches.

The king and minister of Joseon sent Liu Chenglong to send the letter of credence in March, proclaiming himself a vassal to the Great Qin court, and asking for a title. Xiao Ruxun agreed, bestowing Li Yan the king of Joseon, bestowing gold, silver and silk, and treating North Korea as before, except that at that time Xiao Ruxun made another request.

Requesting that Jeju Island be used as a place to exile and guard the royal family of Zhu Ming, all official forces of North Korea left Jeju Island and handed over Jeju Island to Daqin.

To put it bluntly, this island has since belonged to Daqin and has nothing to do with North Korea.

Liu Chenglong's eyes widened, and he looked at this comrade who had fought side by side in surprise.

"Your Majesty...this..."

"Mr. Liu."

Xiao Ruxun interrupted Liu Chenglong: "You don't need to say too much, and I don't want to hear it. I know that this news may come a little suddenly to you, but you also need to know that what Daqin wants to do, there is no If it can't be done, if Li Yan agrees, I will give him corresponding compensation. He should be in need of money now.

If he doesn’t agree, I will send troops directly to take Jeju Island. If he has the courage, he will come and fight with me. I don’t guarantee that North Korea will exist after the war, but North Korea was saved by me alone. I fought 20 blood. The Japanese pirates kept it, but I don't want North Korea to perish in my hands, just like Daming. "

Xiao Ruxun's words made Liu Chenglong shudder.

He knew very well that Xiao Ruxun, who replaced Ming Dynasty and established Daqin, was unstoppable. North Korea's backer no longer existed. If Daqin could not be established as a new backer, North Korea's situation would be very bad.

He knew better about Xiao Ruxun's fighting power. He knew that if Xiao Ruxun wanted to attack, North Korea would not be able to resist for even a month. North Korea, whose vitality was severely damaged, did not have the slightest bargaining capital, and was like a fragile lamb in front of Xiao Ruxun.

Fortunately, what Xiao Ruxun wanted was an overseas island, which was not owned by North Korea itself, but received by North Korea from the Mongols. If you want to say this, at least you can find a fig leaf for Li Yan.

Liu Chenglong didn't intend to continue to argue with Xiao Ruxun at all, it was meaningless, he knew it.

"Your Majesty's meaning, I will inform His Majesty."

Liu Chenglong expressed his attitude in this way.

Xiao Ruxun was not in a hurry to drive him away.

"Mr. Liu, since the 21st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, it has been six years. We haven't seen each other for six years. Will Mr. Liu stay with me for a drink and talk about the past?"

Liu Chenglong was not sure about Xiao Ruxun's attitude, but his rationality told him not to irritate Xiao Ruxun at this time.

So he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ruxun ordered someone to serve Liu Chenglong with wine, and Liu Chenglong dealt with Xiao Ruxun cautiously.

"To be honest, when I first entered North Korea, I was so pissed off. I didn't have anything needed for war, I didn't have any intelligence, the roads were muddy, and the armaments were extremely bad. I couldn't find any usable vehicles and horses. , everything has to be brought over from Daming himself.

We were helping North Korea fight against Japan, but in the end you couldn't provide anything, and in the end we had to post it ourselves. Do you think you have done too much?The most exaggerated thing is that I can't do it myself, and I'm just dragging my feet.

I fought well on the front line, your army didn't listen to orders and went up to fight on their own, even if they could pass the fight, but in the end they were beaten by the Japanese pirates who were being beaten by me, so you can still fight hand in hand with me like this?
So I directly said to Li Yan, take all of you away, what's the use of keeping a group of guys who have failed to achieve success but failed to achieve success?It's better to cut them all down, and re-recruit ordinary people to form an army and re-train them.

Look at your most powerful troops in the war, the monks and militia led by Master Xiu Jing. I still can’t forget Master Xiu Jing. At the age of 72, he went into battle with an iron rod and killed the enemy. It's blood, after the Battle of Linjin River, Master Xiu Jing sat on the ground and didn't get up again..."

Xiao Ruxun recalled the past, drank a few more glasses, and chattered about the battle he was most proud of.

"So, I have always felt that there are many things that people on the official level do not need to do at all. Those people only use the bureaucratic tone to do their best, stipulate the details, and the people at the bottom can do things well by themselves. Don’t interfere, just watch the result.”

Xiao Ruxun drank another glass of wine, and looked at Liu Chenglong with rather drunk eyes.

"So, Mr. Liu, don't you feel comfortable living in North Korea? If you want to, come to my place. I have a place for you here."

Liu Chenglong was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Xiao Ruxun was talking drunk.

"Your Majesty is drunk."

"Am I drunk?"

Xiao Ruxun supported his head with his hands, staring at Liu Chenglong with his eyes: "Why do I feel that I am more awake now than ever before?"

Looking into Xiao Ruxun's eyes, Liu Chenglong felt that he couldn't tell whether Xiao Ruxun was really drunk or not.

"I know everything about your place. You guys, you didn't learn the good things about Daming, and you didn't learn the integrity of Daming. Instead, you learned the party struggles of Daming. It's even worse than that. Mr. Liu, your situation Isn't it bad? After Yi Sun-shin's death, your situation will be even worse, right?"

Liu Chenglong finally confirmed that Xiao Ruxun was not talking drunk.

"This time you came here to be a scapegoat, right? If you go back, you will definitely be the target of criticism?"

Liu Chenglong felt his heart was hit by an invisible force.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Needless to say, Mr. Liu, I'll give you this opportunity. Whether you can grasp it or not is up to you."

Xiao Ruxun let Liu Chenglong go away after saying a word, and then, at the end of April, there was news that North Korea was willing to hand over Jeju Island to Daqin, and it was reported that Liu Chenglong was set on fire in the North Korean court Attack intelligence.
