Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 268 Mission
Boss Zhu has always been vigorous and resolute.Seven days later, the brothers set off for the north.

Of course it is still incognito, Bailongyu accepted it.

A mere Koryo could not afford the arrival of the Prince of Ming Dynasty.If it weren't for Boss Zhu's desire to train his son to become a man as soon as possible, there might never be a prince of Ming Dynasty on the Korean peninsula, let alone a grand prince who is a thousand years old.

The scale of the mission this time was unprecedented, and the guards alone consisted of [-] troops, and they were all burly and highly skilled Habayashi guards.

The public statement is naturally because a large number of war horses will be purchased for this trip, and enough troops are needed to escort them back to the country.But in fact, it was the prince who was worried about the safety of his younger brothers, so he deliberately increased the guards from two hundred to five hundred, so as to be safe.

Cai Bin, who is the envoy of the mission, is the fifth-rank Habayashi Wei Qianhu, and the five hundred soldiers are his subordinates.

Moreover, Habayashi Guard is the most elite cavalry of Ming Dynasty, Cai Bin and his men have fought with war horses for half their lives.Therefore, in addition to protecting the safety of the mission, they also have to undertake the heavy responsibility of buying and raising horses.

The deputy envoy of the mission is Lin Mi, head of the Ministry of Rituals, who is responsible for diplomatic affairs such as mission etiquette, submission of credentials, and negotiations with Korean officials.When interacting with such a small country outside the region, one must not lose national dignity.

A fifth-rank military officer and a sixth-rank civil officer are the standards of a mission.This is also the weight of Goryeo in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Among Cai Bin's subordinates, there are two brothers 'Hong Hao' and 'Hong Ji' who have been promoted to the test hundred households because of their outstanding performance. The two brothers and three other senior hundred households each command a hundred General Lin Wei.

The identity of the third child is a master bookkeeper of the Taipu Temple from the seventh rank, responsible for the account registration of the purchase of war horses.

Because Zhu Zhen is still young, he can only accompany him as his book boy.

Above... Oh, by the way, there is also the fifth child who is a military doctor and a veterinarian.

Although the fifth child looked too young and inconspicuous, he was sent to the mission by the Tai Hospital, so he was still respected by everyone.

When going abroad, whether it is a man or a horse, once you get sick, you can only rely on him.

~~
The mission planned to depart from Nanjing by boat, take the waterway north to Tamna Island, stop for supplies, check the pastures, and then cross the sea to the mainland of Korea.

After buying the horses, they will return to Daming by land from Liaodong... In fact, the fastest and safest way is to take a boat from Jinzhou, the southernmost capital of Liaodong, across the Bohai Sea, and land in Dengzhou.This is also Daming's main supply line to Liaodong.

But the route was determined by Boss Zhu himself, so he could only obediently follow it.Only the elder brothers and the two chief and deputy envoys knew that this was to exercise the ability of the highnesses to lead troops on long-distance marches.

It is conceivable that when Cai Bin and Lin Mi learned that His Royal Highness was in their mission, how broken their hearts were.

What's worse than this situation is that there are five His Royal Highnesses in the mission...

Both of them wanted to die.

After all, the whole family will not be affected by death now, but if any of His Royal Highness makes a mistake after the mission, their whole family will have to be buried with them.

But the emperor's order was hard to break, and the two had no choice but to bite the bullet.

In fact, the two of them are in the blessing and don't know the blessing.Compared with their predecessors - Ping An and Han Yike, they are definitely much happier.

Han Yike and Ping'an not only had to worry about the safety of the five His Royal Highnesses, but were also forced by the emperor to make it difficult for His Highness.

At least Cai Bin and Lin Mi don't have to do such immoral things that would attract His Highness's hatred.

It's not that Boss Zhu's sudden kindness and paternal love erupted.But this trip is going abroad, with the existing means of communication, it is impossible to grasp the movements of the sons in real time, and naturally there is no way to do anything wrong... Oh no, it is more difficult.

So Boss Zhu can only pin his hopes on the Koreans, and cause more trouble for the brothers...

~~
On the day of departure, Princess Qin, Princess Jin and Princess Yan all dressed up as ordinary women and went to see off their husbands at Jiangdongmen Wharf.

Zhu Huan and Zhu Zhen don't have wives, but they have elder brothers to send them off.

On the prince's carriage, while arranging the skirts of the two younger brothers, Zhu Biao asked worriedly:

"Although Goryeo has been very respectful since the annexation, and sent people to pay tribute every year. In the fourth year of Hongwu, they even sent people to take part in the imperial examinations, with a posture of devotion and loyalty. But the king of Goryeo and their civil servants and generals are by no means kind. You guys Be vigilant and don’t take it lightly.”

"What do you mean by elder brother?" Zhu Zhen asked puzzledly.No way, as long as Smecta is mentioned, he will think of a deafening famous saying:

'It is the greatest honor to be Daming's dog! '

So although I kept reminding myself not to underestimate any opponent, it was really hard to take Smecta seriously, Smecta.

"The country of Koryo was conquered by the Mongols 100 years ago. The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to the rule of this country. All the princes of Koryo had to live in the capital of Yuan Dynasty when they were young, and served as the guards of the princes of the Yuan Dynasty for a long time.

"After growing up, marry the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, and then return to the country with the princess to inherit the throne. So for 100 years, Goryeo has been the out-and-out son-in-law of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Later, the Yuan Dynasty simply set up the Zhengdong Province in Koryo, and the King of Koryo also served as the prime minister of the Zhengdong Province. Although due to various reasons, he still could not directly govern it, but the Yuan Dynasty could depose the King of Koryo at will, and the government of Koryo was also pro-Yuan. Faction control." The prince said in a deep voice:

"After being controlled by the Yuan Dynasty for many years, I heard that braided hair and Hufu were popular among the upper class in Goryeo, and the previous king even issued an order to shave their hair and make clothes easier. The Goryeo people were once assimilated by the Mongols. The Mongols also felt completely at ease with them.

"But who would have thought that the current king of Koryo, taking advantage of the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, mercilessly stabbed the suzerain country in the back, eradicated the pro-Yuan faction in the country, abolished the Eastern Province, and even captured the Shuangcheng Governor of the Yuan Dynasty. Mansion and Helan Mansion."

"Gay is so stupid?" Zhu Zhen gasped, watching "Frost Flower Shop" and thought he was a fool.

"What is a dick?" The prince asked in confusion.

"It's okay..." Zhu Zhen hurriedly changed the topic and asked:

"They also came to take the imperial examination?"

"Yes. In the fourth year of Hongwu, three came here, and one passed the exam." The prince took out Zhang Guan from his sleeve and said, "This is the official report of that person. I asked someone to transfer it from the household department."

Zhu Zhen took it with both hands, opened it and saw that it was a Korean man named Jin Tao, who made Ke Dengdi and was appointed as the governor of Anqiu County, Dongchang Prefecture.

"He didn't go to take office, and after being a Jinshi, he asked to return to his hometown on the grounds that he could not speak Chinese and was close to the elderly. His father approved it, and gave him a generous travel fee, and sent him back to Korea by boat."

"He is here for gilding, of course he has to go back after passing the Jinshi examination." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "In Daming, I can only be a county magistrate, and I guess I will start as a Hanlin scholar when I go back."

"Almost." The crown prince nodded in agreement and said, "I met him at the time and asked him to compose a poem. After going to Korea, if there is anything useful, you can use this official report to find him .”

"Yeah. Thank you, big brother, you are so kind." The sixth child hurriedly put it away.

ps. In two days, I finished studying the materials of Korea and finished the outline of this volume, and the writing will be smoother later.

In addition, for the sake of the story, the timing has been slightly adjusted.Write another chapter.
