The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 747 Li Xuan's Despair

Zhong Ming didn't answer Li Xuan's question, but narrowed his eyes and said.

"It was drunk and drowned. At that time, the king of Joseon had only one personal servant beside him, and there was no one else. This can be verified."

"Hehe, please make preparations in advance to succeed the King of Joseon, Your Highness the Prince!"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Ming took his leave with others.

Li Xuan, who stayed where he was, slumped on the ground, only feeling that his eyes were dark, and his heart was full of fear and fear.

Chill in the back!

It's not a coincidence, it's definitely not a coincidence!
His father's death was definitely not an accident!
My side is planning to use the excuse that I am only the son of Joseon, not the king of Joseon, to send troops to North Korea for nothing.

As a result, the king of Joseon drowned, and he himself, the son of Joseon, would be forced to become the king of Joseon.

This matter is by no means an accident!
And the black hand behind the scenes is most likely Daming!
Just thinking about it, Li Xuan felt a chill down his back, as if he had been thrown into the ice cellar from the dog days.

The fear in my heart is unspeakable!

Suddenly Li Xuan realized that Zhao Kang had also played a dishonorable role in this incident.

In an instant, his previous admiration and gratitude to Zhao Kang disappeared.

All that's left is resentment from the heart!

"Damn! Damn!"

"Why did you lie to me!"

"Zhao Kang, I want to kill you, I must kill you!"

Struggling to get up from the ground, Li Xuan seemed to have gone crazy, smashing in his room.

There was a series of ping-pong-pong sounds in the room, and a large number of decorations, porcelain vases, brush washers, bookshelves and other sundries were smashed into pieces.

"Damn!"

"damn it!"

"Zhao Kang, I will smash your corpse into thousands of pieces, I will chop you into a pulp!"

"..."

Li Xuan's madness frightened the followers outside the door.

However, facing Li Xuan at this time, no one dared to step forward to stop him, they just watched Li Xuan venting helplessly.

It was not until Li Xuan had vented his anger that his followers dared to go up and talk to him.

"His Royal Highness, my condolences!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness, the king has passed away, and His Highness must shoulder the responsibility of the future of North Korea, so don't let yourself be dejected..."

"His Royal Highness, cheer up!"

"..."

Faced with the consolation of his followers, Li Xuan only felt irony.

Where does North Korea have any future?
The current North Korea has been sold to Daming by himself!

If he, Li Xuan, is just a son of the Joseon Dynasty, then there may be room for change in the matter of internal attachment.

But now he, Li Xuan, is about to become the king of Joseon. With the letter of credence presented by the king of Joseon himself, the matter of North Korea's internal attachment is a certainty!
That letter of credence is the legal basis for Daming to eat North Korea!
As for regretting...

Li Xuan didn't dare to think about it at all.

Now that Daming can manipulate his father to drown, how difficult is it to manipulate him into drowning in the future?

You know, he is in Daming now!
What worries Li Xuan even more is his family members!
Once Da Tianzi was angered, how many people from the Li family of North Korea could survive?
Just judging from the fact that tens of thousands of Mongolian prisoners of war were ordered to be murdered outside Zhangjiakou, we can know that the current emperor is not a merciless master!
Now that King Li Wei of North Korea is dead, does he want to let the Lee family of North Korea completely exterminate?

Also, the look Zhong Ming gave him just before he left.

It was clear that he was warning him!

……

With Daming doing a good job of annexing North Korea's public opinion propaganda work!

The news of the death of the King of Korea did not continue to be deliberately blocked.

Under the deliberate promotion of the imperial court, the news of the death of King Li Wei of North Korea spread throughout the entire city of Nanjing very quickly!
However, in the propaganda of Ming Dynasty, the cause of death of King Li Wei of North Korea changed from being drunk and drowning to being seriously injured when he was shot by the arrows of the Qing army in the Battle of Incheon. on the ship.

If Ming wanted to annex North Korea, it would naturally have to give the North Korean king a face.

Drunk and drowned, after all, it doesn't sound good, doesn't it!

In the streets and alleys, many people are discussing the death of the King of Korea.

It's still the same tea stall as last time, and it's still the same people.

The old man in a long gown smacked his lips while smoking a pipe.

"Tsk tsk, the son of Joseon has become the king of Joseon, and the letter of credence also has legal principles. Now there should be no surprises in the matter of North Korea's attachment!"

What he talked about was the matter of North Korea's internal attachment, but in his heart he was lamenting the cruel methods of the emperor.

The king of North Korea was seriously injured and died on the ship?
Tsk tsk, who would believe it!

Is there such a coincidence?

The people around heard the words, nodded and said.

"Extremely extreme, the old man really has vicious eyes!"

"After North Korea is attached, North Korea's market will be opened to my Ming Dynasty, and there are many opportunities here."

"Hey, I heard that the women in North Korea are both obedient and graceful. When the time comes, I'll buy a few and come back as concubines."

"..."

The middle-aged man on the side asked the old man.

"Old man, when do you think Daming will send troops to North Korea?"

The middle-aged man's voice fell, and all around looked over.

When the imperial court sends troops to North Korea, this matter is related to when they can enter North Korea to divide their interests. Naturally, it is something that many people will care about.

……

Imperial study room!
Zhu Hongyu convened the staff of the staff department and began to discuss when to send troops to North Korea.

"What do you think is the most appropriate time for my Ming Dynasty to send troops to North Korea? Please speak freely!"

Zhu Hongyu sat behind the table, playing with a string of red sandalwood beads.

Each rosary is carefully carved, exquisite and beautiful.

When the staff members below heard the words, they began to discuss heatedly around the sand table.

From the time of dispatching troops, to the number of dispatched troops, to the purpose of Ming Dynasty's battle...

All are within the scope of the discussion!
"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of Daming's sending troops to North Korea this time?"

"Is it simply to eat North Korea? Or is it going to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in North Korea?"

Xu Bin stood up and asked.

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then spoke out his plan.

"My plan is to eat North Korea, but there is no need to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Instead, drive the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Wa country!"

"Let the remnants of the Qing Dynasty open the gate of the Wa Kingdom for my Ming Dynasty to make a stand!"

"Also, it would be best to use the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to clean up the aristocratic families in North Korea, so as to lay a solid foundation for my Ming Dynasty to rule North Korea."

Xiaotian must fight!
But at present, Daming is busy with internal affairs, and has no spare energy to go across the sea to recruit Japanese.

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu is going to support Manqing, and let me, Daqing, bring warmth to the little days!

It can be regarded as waste utilization!

Of course, it is also one of the important purposes for Man Qing to help Daming clean up this second-hand house in North Korea so that Daming can take over North Korea.

The power of the secular family in North Korea is too great. If Daming wants to take over North Korea's government affairs smoothly, he must first clean up the secular family.

This is also the reason for cleaning first after moving!
Zhu Hongyu didn't want to be constrained when he was in power in North Korea.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu now intends to completely annex North Korea and make North Korea a part of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it will be more troublesome!

It would be much easier if he just planned to turn North Korea into Ming's milk cow.

To support a puppet regime, no matter how secretly Da Ming manipulates it, that's all!
In this way, things in North Korea will become very simple!
There is no need for Zhu Hongyu to waste so much thought!
However, the degree of Sinicization in North Korea is so high, and the upper and lower classes in North Korea have such a strong sense of identity and belonging to Ming Dynasty.

To Ming, the current North Korea is just a piece of fat without bones. It would be a pity not to annex North Korea!

To put it bluntly, it is still the population problem!

After the troubled times of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the population of Daming suffered a serious loss.

Now that Ming Dynasty wants to develop industry and commerce, what it lacks the most is not the market and resources, but the labor force!
And North Korea's millions of people who can be completely assimilated at a small price, in Zhu Hongyu's eyes, are simply the best source of labor.

If the main population of North Korea was black or white, Zhu Hongyu would certainly not be so concerned about North Korea.

At most, North Korea is regarded as a milk cow for the development of Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce!
Then sell black slaves and white slaves after castration.

However, who said that the current population of North Korea is almost the same language and race as the Han people, and they are full of admiration for the Celestial Kingdom, so they can be easily assimilated?
If he doesn't eat North Korea, Zhu Hongyu will feel in a panic!
After hearing the news, the general staff began to plan the Ming Dynasty's dispatch of troops to North Korea according to Zhu Hongyu's idea.

……

North Korea, Seoul!
The former capital of the Joseon Dynasty has now become the residence of the Qing Dynasty.

The bustling and bustling city of Seoul was almost turned into a wasteland under the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty.

Half a year has passed, and Seoul still hasn't been able to recover.

Many places are still dilapidated!
It's just that with the arrival of a large number of family members of the Qing army, Seoul has more fireworks.

Inside the mansion of Ye Bilong.

In the study room, Ye Bilong was sitting in front of the desk. Behind him, two North Korean maids were gently arranging his braids.

On the opposite side of Ye Bilong, sat a very tall man.

The man's face was hidden in the darkness, coupled with his black clothes, he looked quite mysterious.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Bilong asked in a tone of voice.

Looking at the person in front of him, Ye Bilong's mind is very complicated.

Not only because, this person is a liaison officer sent by Jin Yiwei!

It was even more because it was the Jin Yiwei who he contacted on his own initiative, who connected with Daming.

Seeing the man in black again, Ye Bilong felt very complicated.

There is the refreshing feeling of being an undercover agent that everyone is drunk and I am alone, and there is also guilt for Daqing.

He is a member of the Qing Dynasty, an important cabinet minister, but now he has become a traitor and colluded with Ming Dynasty...

Ye Bilong's attitude was not friendly, but the man in black was not annoyed, he just said with a smile.

"By order from above, come and give me a way to survive!"

Hearing this, Ye Bilong narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Da Ming is going to send troops to North Korea?"

When he said this, Ye Bilong's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinprick.

His face was solemn.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was not yet ready to conquer the Japanese across the sea. If the Ming Dynasty sent troops to North Korea, the Qing Dynasty would have nowhere to run!

This is called a complete calf!

The man in black nodded.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Ye Bilong's heart trembled violently, he took a deep breath, and his heart was instantly filled with solemnity.

But he still held on to his airs and said.

"Haha, let's send troops!"

"I am not a vegetarian in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. If Da Ming does not give me a way to survive, I will not be afraid to fight to the death."

Although Ye Bilong is holding on to his airs now, but the weakness and fear in his heart have long been exposed.

Because, what he said now makes people sound quite unconfident!

If he had the confidence, he wouldn't say a desperate fight!

Although these words are tragic, the pessimism in them is even more obvious!
The man in black on the opposite side spoke with a slight smile on his face.

"Hehe, who said His Majesty won't wait for you to survive?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to wait for you to survive, what am I doing here?"

When Ye Bilong heard this, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and the solemnity and awe-inspiring righteousness just now disappeared in an instant.

He spoke in a tone that he thought was honest, but actually flattering.

"What does Emperor Ming mean?"

The man in black picked up his teacup and took a sip before speaking.

"Hehe, what your majesty means is that if you want me, Da Ming, to let you wait to cross the sea to conquer the Japanese, you can!"

"But, you need to do one thing for Daming!"

"After the matter is done, Daming will give you a way to survive and let you cross the sea to conquer the Japanese."

"We can even sell a batch of arms to you!"

"But if things can't be done, then I'm sorry, the Daming Navy will guarantee that no ship can cross the Tsushima Strait from North Korea to Japan."

When Ye Bilong heard this, his eyes narrowed.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth to ask.

"What does the Son of Heaven need me to do?"

The man in black said with a very calm expression on his face.

"North Korea wants this dilapidated house to be replaced by a new owner!"

"Before the new master moves in, someone needs to help clean the house and clean up the garbage left by the original master."

"Because what the new master wants is a clean house!"

Ye Bilong instantly understood what the man in black meant.

But he still asked knowingly.

"Don't play charades, what exactly does Daming mean?"

The man in black was not annoyed, and said four big characters in a calm tone.

"A man of the world!"

"You help Daming clean up the worldly clans on the North Korean land, and Daming will let you cross the sea to conquer the Japanese."

The corner of Ye Bilong's mouth twitched, Daming is really defiant now!
They actually let Daqing do the dirty work so directly!

Unwillingness is for sure, but Ye Bilong did not dare to refuse, nodding in agreement.

"Okay, then I will take the lead in this matter at the court meeting!"

"I hope that if Daqing does what Daming asks, Daming won't go back on his word!"

Hearing this, the man in black nodded and said.

"That's natural!"

"How can the emperor break his promise when he speaks golden words?"

After saying this, the man in black said goodbye and left.

……

On the second day, the Manchu Qing Dynasty held a court meeting as usual.

Ye Bilong got up early and went to court in the dark after washing up.

The present court meeting of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is far less humane than that of the Ming Dynasty!

After Zhu Hongyu's reforms, it was already dawn when Daming held the court meeting, and the temperature became warmer, and it didn't bother people.

Because Zhu Hongyu himself doesn't really like Shangchao, which is completely formalistic.

But Man Qing is still in accordance with the past habits!
Every time a court meeting is held, the sky is not bright!

Fortunately, some young people said that many old officials were tortured by the early court.
