Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 261
Hongwu 16th year, November.

If we talk about the Battle of Yuyuerhai, besides Bei Yuan, who was shocked the most?
That must be the various warlords in Korea.

Of course, Li Chenggui was also included.

Originally, the situation in Goryeo was extremely chaotic, but because of the existence of Bei Yuan, Daming couldn't directly send troops to intervene in Goryeo's affairs.

Although Li Chenggui was not optimistic about Bei Yuan, he felt that Bei Yuan would not last long, but he did not expect such a huge behemoth to collapse so quickly.

The speed at which Bei Yuan fell was far beyond Li Chenggui's expectation and disrupted his plan.

Originally, with the existence of Beiyuan, Daming couldn't get out of the north to intervene in the affairs of Korea.

Didn't you see that Liao King Zhu Qidu just arranged a puppet regime in Goryeo?

But now, once Bei Yuan fell, there would be no force in the north that could check and balance Daming.

And after losing any threats and checks and balances, Daming would send troops to Korea nine out of ten.

Originally, Li Chenggui thought that Daming would not send troops, but since he met Liao King Zhu Qi, he felt that the possibility of Daming sending troops to intervene in Goryeo was getting higher and higher.

Not only because the current situation in Goryeo is very chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty can gain great benefits by sending troops, but also because of the appearance of Liao King Zhu Qi.

Liao King Zhu Qi seems to have great patience and interest in the Koryo Peninsula.

And Li Chenggui is not a fool, so he can see it naturally.

He is also a well-known generation of monarchs in history. Although he was relatively bleak in his later years, he was imprisoned by his own son.

But it can't erase his ability and record in history.

Of course, just like other sticks, although he surrendered to Daming on the surface, he was always thinking about Liaodong occupying Daming in his heart.

It is not much different from the previous regimes on the Koryo Peninsula, which is why Zhu Qi is determined not to allow Li Chenggui to recover and unify the entire Koryo Peninsula.

Rather than letting the superior geographical location of the Koryo Peninsula be in the hands of Bang Zi, it is better for me, Ming, to directly send troops to occupy it.

Assimilating him into his own empire would be of more benefit to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

After all, the geographical location of the Koryo Peninsula is really important. Standing in an inseparable part of the global era of great exploration, it is like a pearl-like island chain in Southeast Asia.

What Li Chenggui didn't expect was that Daming actually rejected his request for tribute.

When he saw the envoys he sent back in disgrace, and brought the news that Daming rejected the tribute request.

Li Chenggui was very surprised, and asked many times to understand the situation at the scene.

Only then did I know that Zhu Qi, king of Liao, seemed to be the leader in this matter. He had already told the ministers in the court and the emperor a long time ago that news of the unification of Korea must never be allowed.

In fact, just guessing, Li Chenggui can guess that this must be the trick behind Liao Wang Zhu Qi.

After all, I had agreed with Liao King Zhu Qi before that I would replace the original King Gaoli and become the king of Gaoli, and Daming would also canonize myself as King Gaoli.

But he didn't expect that when he turned his head, Zhu Qi, king of Liao, betrayed himself and refused to admit his account.

Moreover, he also found some puppets to cause trouble for himself, not only that, but also vigorously supported those puppets, so that now he has not unified the Koryo Peninsula.

If it weren't for this irritating Liao king Zhu Qi, he would have unified the Koryo Peninsula to rectify military and political strength, and then the people's will, maybe he could find a chance to occupy Liaodong.

But now, Daming has made it clear that he does not admit that his warlord regime ruled Korea.

It means that there is no room for maneuver, and Li Chenggui also looked up to the sky and sighed.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a day that I would fall completely in the hands of the Liao King Zhu Qi, a child. I knew that I shouldn't have trusted him in the first place.

Continue to be a powerful minister under the hands of King Goryeo, isn't he fragrant?

At least this King of Korea is a leader recognized by both Beiyuan and Daming!

As long as you are a good minister of power and a good Cao Gong, what can't be obtained at your fingertips?
Now there is no way to regret it, Bei Yuan is gone, and Daming's strength is not at all his own, the Korean warlord, who can resist it.

The rest of the road in front of him seems to be death or surrender.

In fact, there is not much difference between the two paths.

Seeing how Zhu Qi, the king of Liao, targeted him so much and then looked at the fate of those caught, the Northern Yuan royal family, if he was also exiled to some unknown island, he might as well die.

Li Chenggui really thought so, after all, he is also a hero, and for these heroes, the saying that it is better to die than to live does not exist at all.

In Li Chenggui's view, either perish in silence, or explode in silence.

This is quite normal for him, anyway, he has been against Daming for most of his life anyway, and it is not impossible to continue to oppose Daming at this time.

It's just that there is no other place where Li Chenggui can continue to rebel

.After all, the Koryo Peninsula is only such a big place, and once Daming finds time, he will definitely come over and deal with himself first.

After all, Yunnan, Beiyuan and the plateau have all been conquered by Ming Dynasty.

Where else can I run?Li Chenggui asked someone to bring the map, and then looked carefully, and then saw the long string of insect-like places behind his Koryo Peninsula buttocks.

Wa country...

Li Chenggui said silently to himself twice in his heart.

------

I have to say that Li Chenggui is indeed a hero in history.

After all, Zhu Qi still underestimated this character.

It was Li Chenggui who saw through that Daming would never forgive him, and would soon send troops to attack Goryeo.

And since he had no chance of winning at all, he had already begun to consider a late retreat.

As far as he is concerned, there are only a few places where he can retreat.

For example, the grassland plateau and the south, but neither the grassland plateau nor the south is what Li Chenggui wants to go to.

After all, in those places, it is not realistic at all to make a comeback.

It was too far away from the Koryo Peninsula, either it was too barren, or it was inconvenient to do anything under the eyes of Ming Zi.

Therefore, if you want to choose a place to escape, it must be not very far from the isolated peninsula, and it must not be under Daming's nose.

The place where I can make a comeback at any time is the most suitable place to escape.

After much deliberation, only Wa country is the most suitable place for him to escape next step.

And from Li Chenggui's point of view, Daming never thought that he would flee to the Wa country.

After all, at this time, the country of Wa is still the endorsement of backwardness and ignorance.

No one thought that people from the Koryo Peninsula would go to the Wa country to seek asylum.

The most important thing is that this Liao king Zhu Qi, even if he wants to send people to Wei to arrest him, it is not realistic.

Not to mention that there is a vast ocean between Wa Kingdom and Ming Dynasty, this ocean is an insurmountable horizontal ditch.

Before, Da Yuan also wanted to conquer the Wa country, what happened?

How many ships have sunk in the ocean?

It shows that Daming is not able to attack Wu State at all, otherwise it will definitely be condemned by heaven.

As a hero, Li Chenggui naturally wouldn't believe in that kind of blind superstition.

But he also knew that there must be a certain reason for this, at least the sea is not something that can be crossed by Da Ming at will,

What's more, there are so many islands in the Wa country, so I can find an island to go to, and Daming can't find it if I want to find it.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of having no firewood.

Li Chenggui is also very clear, naturally he will not have heroism, and naturally he will not have the two paths of groveling and surrendering to Daming at the last moment, which are basically blocked in front of him.

Then all that is left is to leave Goryeo and go to the Wa country, and then look for opportunities to make a comeback.

Li Chenggui thought of this, and immediately started to prepare for the retreat.

And Li Chenggui's actions were immediately reflected on the battlefield.

The other Korean noble warlords who were suppressed and beaten by Li Chenggui all breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chenggui's soldiers all flinched and did not take the initiative to attack.

And they thought that Li Chenggui was afraid of Daming, so they stopped attacking.

Naturally, they would not let go of this great opportunity, and launched fierce attacks on Li Chenggui one after another. Zhu Qi, who saw all this, also knew that things were not that simple.

Who wants this Li Chenggui?

But the hero of the world is also very famous in history. Although he is a stick, he has to be affirmed for his strength.

Therefore, Li Chenggui will definitely not give up attacking those warlords just because Daming defeated Beiyuan, unless he has another plan, which is to escape, and does not intend to continue to gain a foothold on Gaoliban.

And Zhang Yu, after hearing the information, thought the same way.

Although Li Chenggui's people have never been seen before.

But listening to Liao King Zhu Qi's description, Zhang Yu naturally did not underestimate Li Chenggui, and if he was Li Chenggui.

Fighting recklessly with Daming is definitely not the best choice.

The best choice is to run away and keep the green hills around, but where Li Chenggui plans to escape is a big question.

Zhu Qi naturally wanted to catch him, even if he was not killed and placed under house arrest, it would be a good thing.

Putting such a character outside is a disaster after all,

But he really couldn't think of where the people here could go. It's not that Zhu Qi didn't think about the Wa Kingdom.

But in Zhu Qi's view, even if it is the Wa country, it is only a matter of early death and late death.

As for why, the reason is also very simple, because this Japanese country, do you think you can escape?

After I, Ming Dynasty, finished cleaning up Beiyuan and Goryeo, the next step to clean up is definitely this Wa country.

Although this Japanese country does not have the tendency to become Japanese pirates, in the future, people in this Japanese country will never have any friendly intentions towards us in the Central Plains.

They are originally the kind of robber-minded people, but whenever they have a chance, they want to snatch other people's fruits and occupy other people's territories.

Zhu Qi, who already had the foresight, naturally wouldn't let this kind of thing happen, let alone have the mentality of the Virgin that people will change eventually.

Therefore, Zhu Qi's occupation of the Wa country was a national policy that had been set for Ming Dynasty long ago.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has already been persuaded by sufficient reasons, that is, the raw materials of gold, silver and jewelry in Japan,

This is a very important thing for Daming. After all, for a long time in the future, the world will be on the gold standard for hundreds of years.

Whoever masters these will master the real wealth of this world.

And Daming's banknotes, if they want to sweep the world, they also need gold, silver and jewelry to endorse Daming's banknotes.

Otherwise, if there is not enough gold and silver as a support and basis for the Ming banknotes, then the Daming banknotes will soon usher in a bad scene of inflation.

Zhu Qi is not an economist, but he also knows that if there is no good national macro strategy adjustment, the credit banknotes used are definitely not suitable for a feudal dynasty like Ming Dynasty.

The gold standard is definitely the most suitable.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand these things, after listening to Liao King Zhu Qi's explanation, he could also get a general idea, and naturally there was no reason for the Wa Kingdom to let it go.

What's more, after Zhu Qi showed the original appearance of this world, and predicted that in the future, the country that controls the ocean must be able to control the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang has no reason to give up the sea, and the occupation of the Wa country is an important guarantee of sea power. After all, the geographical location of the Wa country is too important.

It passes through the Pacific Ocean, and there are various outlets that are very suitable. Except for one geographical location, the country is small, and there seems to be no major disadvantages.

So if Li Chenggui really went to the Wa country, it would save trouble for Zhu Qi. Anyway, the Wa country was also on his strike list.

Wouldn't it be nice to sweep and grab Li Chenggui together at that time.

The Japanese country is also being swept away, so where can Li Chenggui go?
No matter where he goes, as long as I am Daming Jinyiwei, he will have no chance.
Moreover, the special geographical location of the Koryo Peninsula is also doomed. Li Chenggui only needs to leave the circle of East Asia and go to other places.

There is simply no room for fisting.

In the rainforest of Southeast Asia, do you expect those rainforest monkeys to obey his command?

This is naturally impossible.

So after Zhu Qi heard the information and learned that Li Chenggui was likely to escape, he was not very worried, but he took it very seriously.

Then he ordered the Jin Yiwei to start attacking. It would be best if he could assassinate Li Chenggui or capture him alive.

And because this side has been doing these things for so many years, but Li Chenggui, there are many masters there.

Moreover, it is already at the stage of warlords, and there are many troops, and there is no room for particularly easy strikes.

So it has not been successful until now, and now I am giving them a task, I am afraid it will not be easy to succeed.

Zhu Qi didn't have much hope either.

However, the next goal is already very clear, that is Li Chenggui, the Korean Peninsula!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qi also sighed silently in his heart, I am afraid that he really has no vacation.
