First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 470
Zhu Biao wrote in great detail. Tang Ding has a good ability to lead soldiers and boost morale in battles.

Moreover, there is no effective adviser around him, and he hangs alone overseas to deal with the internal affairs of other countries. Although he can advance and retreat or defend, there are still risks. Zhu Biao hates Japan, but he will never underestimate him.

Aggressive yet remarkably gentle, militaristic yet rebellious, arrogant yet courteous, obstinate yet volatile, submissive yet repulsive, loyal yet rebellious, brave yet rebellious. Cowardly, conservative but very open to innovation, obeying small rituals without great righteousness...

Such contradictory and morbid national character characteristics have created Japan's tenacious vitality and vitality. Although Japanese culture has been largely influenced by Chinese traditional Confucianism in terms of national character, it is different from the golden mean advocated by China since ancient times. The fundamental difference is largely a manifestation of two extremes.

Extreme sometimes think that a certain aspect is strong, and what Japan learned from the Tang Dynasty is not only production technology such as casting and farming, but also many military strategies and ancient books of sages. Although the country is small, its political wisdom should not be underestimated.

Zhu Biao explained clearly the general deployment, but he had no choice but to deal with the details. The distance was too far, transportation was inconvenient and communication was difficult, and Tang Ding could only rely on Tang Ding's improvisation for major and minor matters.

After Zhu Biao finished writing and waited for the ink to dry, he deliberately wrote two copies before putting down his pen and told Liu Jin: "The three secret letters will be sent out in three days, and Quan Xu will send someone to deliver them to the Marquis of Jinghai. When the dead are sent to Dongpu, the faith is kept, but the faith is destroyed by the dead!"

Liu Jin took the letter paper and began to seal it with a promise, while Zhu Biao squeezed the center of his eyebrows. It is said that this kind of letter should be written in a special way to avoid the leakage of information, but it happened suddenly. Communication is difficult, and there is no opportunity for discussion.

Fortunately, this matter is not a conspiracy. Even if it is discovered, it is no big deal. Tang Dingchuan firmly guards the port, and the worst is to sail away. Japan is too busy to take care of itself. Who has the strength to send tens of thousands of people to the sea to pursue it?

As for the impact, Daming and Japan have not yet established diplomatic relations, and it is not a vassal state that was conferred by Daming like Goryeo, so what if it is specially targeted at him, is it possible that Japan dares to invade?
As for the future, with Koryo as the springboard and many guidelines for surrendering the Japanese pirates, it is not too difficult to find a suitable port to attack Dongying. Moreover, Tang Ding wrote the letter two months ago, presumably Japan's inland terrain It's probably almost discovered.

What's more, Jinghaihou Wu Zhen's confidant will not be able to destroy even a letter before he dies, but this incident can be regarded as a reminder to Zhu Biao that it is necessary to plan ahead. Adding a course on cipher text over there, Zhu Biao has great hopes for Jin Yiwei.

There are still two letters in the hidden compartment of the secret letter, one is from Tang Ding, the content is the same as the previous one, that is, only two of the three secret letters have been delivered, and the whereabouts of one of them is unknown. I don’t know what happened to the person who sent the letter , Maybe I met a pirate or maybe I encountered a huge storm, who can say for sure what happened at sea...

There is no need for him to order this kind of thing, and someone will naturally investigate it. Zhu Biao took out the last letter casually, which was sent by Daoyan. The aristocratic family eagerly wanted to kill Xin Tun, and was forced to make a lot of deals with the royal family. The establishment of the son Wei, to some extent, meant the aristocratic family's attitude towards Wang Chen, at least on the surface.

So now it would be best to push Xin Tun out to quell the anger. Zhu Biao nodded slightly. Time to roll out to feed the dogs.

It's just that Zhu Biao felt that the King of Korea was thinking about it, and it was obviously a recent idea, maybe because he finally recovered from the sadness and decadence of the death of Princess Lu, or because he was with him every day. The younger brother Wei mixed together, gained a masculinity, and then developed the ambition to govern the country?

After all, if Xin Tun is only regarded as an abandoned son, then he should not be given such a lofty status, let alone the honor of raising a sergeant to Xin Tun. Dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious, and rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone a person who has been in power for six years.

Dao Yan said in the letter that Xin Tun had already started planning to assassinate the King of Goryeo, and he specifically asked Dao Yan to contact Zhu Biao, hoping to get the support of Daming. He will personally go to the capital to beg the canonization of the Great Ming Emperor, and Goryeo will be Daming forever The vassal state pays tribute every year and comes to the court every year, and it will never change forever!
Afterwards, there were all kinds of promises. Zhu Biao did some calculations, and it was three or four times more than the current tribute from Goryeo.

But it's normal. If he wins, he will be the new king. No matter how much he gives to Daming, he won't lose anything. Anyway, he exploited the common people. If he loses, there's nothing to say. No matter how much he has, it's impossible. Take it to the ground.

What's more, as long as the promise is fulfilled, there will be room for negotiation afterwards. There is no absolute treaty in the world, not to mention the fact that the Great Tomorrow Dynasty can bully the vassal state to death. Both countries are read by saints .

This is the message that Xin Tun asked Dao Yan to send, followed by Dao Yan's own analysis. Xin Tun's winning rate is not high, unless Daming fully supports, and Jiang Side also contributes, and in the name of Daming, he orders the aristocratic family in Kaijing to give it to him. With cooperation, there will be hope for another day.

Xin Tun mastered the power and claimed that the saint is alive among the people. He seems to coerce the hearts of the people to join him, but in fact he is strong on the outside and can do it on the inside. He offended most of the aristocratic families.

The first thing he did after he came to power was to return the land acquired by the aristocratic family to the poor, and restore the private slaves of the manor owner to be good people, which was supported by the lower class people.

But in today's era, the lower class people are just rootless duckweeds drifting with the tide. It is the aristocratic families who really represent the hearts of the people, and they are also the ones who can really carry the boat.

The aristocratic family was kind and forbearing, and Xin Tun bowed his head and obeyed his ears when he was in his prime. After all, the royal family still had power. Now that Xin Tun is separated from the royal family, they are about to retaliate.

Now with Zhu Biao's layout, Jiang Side and Dao Yan have attracted many people from the old and new forces, and their allegiance target has also expanded from the narrow territory of Koryo to the Chengqian Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

When the news of Jin Che and others reaches Goryeo, it is presumed that Jiang Side's right to speak in the Goryeo court will be in a detached position, and he will also come from the dark to the bright, representing the will of the Ming Crown Prince.

As a result, Zhu Biao can have a huge impact on the politics of a country by sending only two people.

Zhu Biao drank his tea and began to think about it. If he supported Xin Tun’s superiority, it would not be impossible. The Koryo royal family has been passed down for more than [-] years. This is not a short period of time, and it has a far-reaching impact. it goes without saying.

It stands to reason that even the Celestial Kingdom only has the power to abolish the throne, and has no reason to support his surname as king. The tyrannical and overbearing Yuan Dynasty only used the princess to control Koryo, rather than canonizing a prince as the king of Koryo.

So if you support Xin Tun to change the day and change the day, kill the blood of the royal family, and then Da Ming uses the excuse of eliminating rebellion and traitors to go to Korea to capture Xin Tun, and then let the courtiers of Korea plead for mercy after the Ming Dynasty punishes the king, as long as the momentum is good...

Zhu Biao stood up and walked around the hall. After walking around for several times, he stopped and sighed. This method is not impossible, but the time is not yet ripe. Regardless of whether the common people give priority to taking care of the common people of Korea.

The life of the people at the bottom of Koryo is difficult now. If Daming fails to improve people's livelihood after taking over Koryo, the prestige of the upper kingdom will drop again and again. Stopping killings will not solve the problem, but will continue to accumulate hatred and make governance more difficult.

Moreover, Daming does not have a suitable prince to take over the throne now, and the eldest Jin Wang Zhu Xi is only 15 years old and has not yet married. Let alone what Zhu Biao thinks, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let him go.

You can't let a courtier or one of the Goryeo gentry choose one to be the king of Goryeo. Then Zhu Biao has been planning for many years to make wedding dresses for others, and he has suffered a mess.

Unknowingly, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was already Xu time, a court lady who often served beside the princess came in cautiously, knelt down and reported: "Your Highness, the princess sees that it is late at night, please go back to the palace and go to bed early. "

Zhu Biao regained his senses and glanced outside, and Liu Jin on the side hurriedly said, "Master, it's almost Haishi."

Zhu Biao asked the court lady in a deep voice: "It's already this hour and the princess is still asleep?"

The palace lady buried her head deeper, but after all it was Yun Jin who trained her, she replied in a calm voice: "The Crown Princess slept for a while, and when she woke up, she found out that His Highness is still in the Wenhua Palace, so she sent the servants to invite her. "

Zhu Biao said softly with a soothing expression: "Go back. If the princess falls asleep, that's fine. If she doesn't sleep, then report to her that I will go back in half an hour. Let her go to bed with peace of mind."

The court lady promised loudly, and then retreated politely. Zhu Biao also rubbed his eyes in a daze. In the past two days, he had been thinking too much. With all the many.

Liu Jin said distressedly from the side: "Master, nothing is as important as your body, let's do it for today, and this servant will wait for you to go back and rest."
