Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 305: Losing five times, the king is a fish
There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

Zuo Yizheng Li Kepei's eyes rolled, and he immediately took the plan to heart: "Your Majesty, I think that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, so I should refuse the request of the Ming Emperor!"

"If Your Majesty refuses to go this time, what should we do if the Ming cavalry go south?" Yin Bishang, the leader of the political council, was no longer silent, and asked tit for tat.

Zuo Yizheng Li Kepei raised his chin slightly, looking righteous and solemn and said: "If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is so unjust and wants to conquer North Korea because of this matter, God will hate him. If it really comes to this point, we will use the power of the whole country to burn with him!" "

This……

Bing Cao, Li Shi and other officials were suddenly speechless and looked at each other helplessly.

Not to mention whether the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was considered an immoral king, but Li Kepei's proposal was clearly a way to die.They are well aware of the combat power of their own army, and it is clear that they are attacking the stone with an egg.

Once the Ming Emperor was really angered, they would all be dead. In order to please the king, Li Kepei wanted to drag them to be buried together.

"Master Li, do you want our country to be destroyed?" Leader Yin Bishang was trembling with anger, but he pointed at Li Kepei and loudly accused him.

Zuo Yizheng Li Kepei had his own weighing, and saluted the North Korean King Li Suo in the palace: "Even if we have to break the deadlock with the giant fish, I will never agree with the king putting his own life in danger!"

When Li Jue heard Li Kepei's resounding attitude, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

Naturally, he was unwilling to go to the capital and take risks. After all, no one was willing to put his life in the hands of others, not even the aloof Emperor Ming.

I originally thought I could not escape, but now I see Li Kepei showing his loyalty so loyally, and I realize that I have not misjudged the person all along.

"Since Mr. Li has such determination and courage, then the post of military commander will be handed over to Mr. Li!" Li Shi, the military commander, came out and solemnly handed over his hand to the Korean King Li Tuo in the hall: "Your Majesty, I have few talents and limited knowledge, and I know that I have no ability. Even if we resist the Ming Dynasty cavalry, we cannot defend the country. Now that Mr. Li has such determination and courage, I am willing to hand over the post of military officer to Mr. Li. Please be kind to me!"

Huh?
When the officials present heard that Li Shi had handed over his position, they all turned to look at the tall Li Kepei.

Although Li Kepei seems to be very determined, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Using North Korea's current military strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty's cavalry is clearly a recipe for death.

If Li Kepei accepts the position of Bing Cao now, then North Korea may have a God of War, but it is more likely that there will be an extra martyr.

Just like this, many officials' eyes flashed with admiration. Although it was indeed a way to die, it was still admirable to be so fearless of life and death.

"This old man has no experience in leading the army, how can he be qualified for the position of a soldier, don't mess up the mandarin ducks here!" Li Kepei's face darkened, and he immediately taught him a lesson.

This……

The officials present were dumbfounded. This old guy just shouted "Charge" and didn't dare to move forward.
Yin Bishang, the political leader, was nearly seventy years old, and his beard and hair were all white, but he had already seen through that Li Kepei was a speculator, and seemed to scold him mercilessly: "Master Li, what we are talking about now is the life and death of North Korea. If you have the ability, If you can resist the Ming army, not to mention the position of military officer, I can also give up my position of leading the government, and I will write a book for you to pass down to the world. But if you don’t even have the courage to unite the army to fight, you will only show your courage and ignore the country. Jiangshan, do you really want to be a sinner of North Korea?"

After all, he is the head of the hundred officials, and now after he said something, he slapped Li Kepei like a mountain top.

"Master Li, please be careful what you say!"

“Everyone can speak big words, but you must consider the consequences!”

"North Korea's country is hard-won, so don't let the country suffer and the people suffer!"

……

Military Cao Li Yan and other officials knew that this matter was not trivial, and Li Kepei really wanted to lead North Korea to a path of no return, so they expressed their opinions one after another.

Li Kepei's party members also knew the seriousness of this matter, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Kepei, and there was also a subtle change in their psychology.

They belong to North Korea's ruling class, and it can be said that everyone benefits.

If North Korea eventually goes to destruction, let alone continue to enjoy this wealth, I am afraid that their whole family will die under the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

That's why, in the face of one's own glory, wealth and life, this political stance has become less important.

Li Jue felt as if she was on a roller coaster and looked at her teacher seriously.

He is also aware of the seriousness of the problem, if he refuses the request of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the consequence is very likely that his Li family will be ruined by the iron cavalry of Ming Dynasty.

Unless his teacher can come up with a good plan, this seemingly passionate words and deeds are indeed self-destructive.

"Where there is a will, there is a way! Although I am not a talented person who can lead the army, I have a lot of talents in North Korea. I believe there must be someone I can trust. There is no need to be so afraid of the Ming cavalry!" Li Kepei's face suddenly turned red for a while, but he still stood firm.

This……

When the officials present heard this extremely irresponsible argument, they all rolled their eyes.

"Shut up!" Yin Bishang, the leader of the political council, shouted immediately, then looked at Li Jue and begged: "Your Majesty, government is not a child's play. We in North Korea cannot count on people like Li Kepei who are greedy for life and fear of death. The old minister is already half a bird. Those who have their feet in the coffin, please your majesty to put the country of Korea first and not to antagonize the Ming Dynasty!"

"I sincerely request your majesty to put the country of Korea first and not to antagonize the Ming Dynasty!" Bing Cao Li Shi and other officials knew the seriousness of the matter, and they immediately stood up and expressed their stance in unison.

ah?why is it like this?

Li Kepei was thinking about how to establish an image of a loyal minister, but he was completely dumbfounded when he found that officials from all over the dynasty expressed their stance together.

After seeing that the king was unwilling to go to the capital, he originally wanted to make a beautiful political speculation, but he didn't want to shoot himself in the foot.

Now all officials have stated that they want to be close to the Ming Dynasty, causing themselves to become clowns in this palace.

Li Jue saw everything in his eyes, and finally found that the teacher he had always relied on, Li Kepei, was unreliable at all. He usually spoke eloquently, but at the critical moment, he actually wanted to push himself into a pit of fire.

Although he refused to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and did not want to put his life in the hands of that young tyrant, he knew that refusing would probably destroy his Li family.

Li Jue knew that the Li family's empire could not be lost, so she asked tentatively: "If I go to the capital, who among you will be willing to accompany me?"

When they heard this, the officials present looked at each other, and then looked up at the leaders Yin Bishang and Zuo Yizheng Li Kepei.

Zuo Yizheng Li Kepei just wanted to create the character of a loyal minister, but this time he lowered his head silently, but it was impossible for him to agree to go to the capital.

Yin Bishang, the leader of the political council, is not a warrior and has no intention of going: "Your Majesty, I am naturally willing to accompany you, but I am already old and my legs are not good enough. I am afraid that I will miss the date of my trip, so I forgive you for not being able to accompany me. But Li When discussing politics, he claims to be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows, so he must be able to accompany him!"

Even the small North Korean court is inevitably full of overt and covert struggles, and now Yin Bishang deliberately pushed Li Kepei.Li Kepei, the leader of the Zuo Yizheng, cursed secretly and immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Zuo Yizheng is now weak and sick, and there are many affairs in the court that need to be dealt with, so I request to stay in the royal capital to take care of the government affairs for the king!"

Li Cao Jin Zhuguo and other officials couldn't help but shook their heads gently when they heard the excuses of these two big shots.

No matter how loyal they say they are on weekdays, when danger really comes, these two important ministers can run faster than anyone else.Now they are all worried about the Ming Emperor's Hongmen Banquet, so these two most astute politicians dare not accompany him.

Li Jue saw the words and deeds of these two veterans whom she relied on the most, and she couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed in her heart. These were the virtuous ministers she had relied on since she ascended the throne!

"Your Majesty, I have the honor to be on two missions to the Ming Dynasty. I have some understanding of the situation in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I am willing to accompany you!" Bing Cao Li Shi knew that he could not count on those two important figures, so he took the initiative to express his position.

Li Ju felt a little better when she saw Li Shi taking the initiative to ask for help.

But at this moment, a soldier walked in in a hurry.

"What happened?"

After seeing the sudden military report, the officials present realized that something terrible had happened, and it was even possible that the Ming army had come to kill them.

At this moment, many people regretted why they didn't hug Daming's thick thigh earlier, thus leaving themselves a way out.

Li Juo read the military report that had just been delivered with a heavy face, and then looked at the ministers present: "Because Donghai Governor Xu Shiying led his troops to support Jianzhou, Jeju Shepherd Li Junbin took advantage of the lack of troops in Daming City and led his troops a few days ago. Want to seize the Ming Dynasty!"

what?
Seize the city?

Who gave the order?
When Bing Cao Li Shi heard this military situation, he couldn't believe his ears.

The Ming Dynasty allowed Korean autonomy because it was concerned about the ancestral system. If it really gave the Ming Dynasty enough excuses, they would really want to recognize their master again.

"Is Li Zhunbin crazy?"

"It's crazy, it wants us to destroy the country!"

"Is he a pig-headed person? Isn't this going to hurt us, North Korea?"

……

The officials in the palace were also talking about it, but they didn't know when Jeju Mu got mad and did such a thing to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

Li Kepei let out a breath of turbid air and said with astonishing authenticity: "Your Majesty, I thought that Tamna Island has always been owned by our North Koreans, so I gave Jeju Mu the power to do things conveniently and have a good opportunity to seize Daming City!"

"Did you do it? Do you know the consequences of doing this?" When Li Shi heard that it was Li Kepei, he immediately accused him loudly.

The political leader Yin Bishang also did not expect that Li Kepei had done such a thing secretly, and immediately requested the North Korean King Li Suo: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li has exceeded his authority. Please imprison him immediately for the crime!"

The officials present shook their heads. Even Li Kepei's party members looked at Li Kepei with complicated eyes. They really wanted to trick North Korea to death before they would give up.

"Your Majesty, if Daming City falls into our hands, we can use it to develop maritime trade. This is for the benefit of North Korea!" Li Kepei did not think that he had done anything wrong, so he argued hard.

After his observation, Daming City on Shenzhi Island was like a hen that could lay golden eggs.

Li Jue took a deep look at his teacher and continued to speak calmly: "Jeju Shepherd Li Zhunbin led [-] garrison troops to invade the Ming Dynasty. However, he was killed by the [-] garrison who stayed behind. Li Zhunbin also fell into the Ming Dynasty. The hand of the defender!"

what?
Five thousand versus one thousand?
Their Jeju Army was defeated?
When hearing this result, the officials present were shocked again and couldn't help but look at each other.

Originally, some officials thought they could fight the Ming Dynasty army, but they learned that the [-] garrison troops on Jeju Island could not defeat [-] defenders, and Li Junbin himself was captured.

If measured by this kind of combat power, their [-] North Korean army cannot resist the [-] army of Ming Dynasty, but the strength of Ming Dynasty's army is as high as several million.

That's right. They may have had a little fantasy just now, but now they have completely recognized the reality. They can only protect their country by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty can only be friends and not enemies. Please go to the capital!" Li Cao Jin Zhuguo knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, so he immediately expressed his stance.

"I beg the king to go to the capital!" Bing Cao Li Shi and other officials knew that this was the only way to save the country, so they expressed their opinions together.

Li Jue's eyes flashed with silence. For the first time in his life, he felt how insignificant his king was, but he finally nodded helplessly.

Sanzhi Island, Daming City.

The waves lap against the rocks, and above is a towering city with a dragon flag flying on top of the city.

Xu Shiying led the fleet to a triumphant return. Because he had completed the mission of surprise attack on the Jurchen base camp in Jianzhou, he was in a very good mood along the way.But after learning what Jeju Mu had done, he was slightly stunned at first, and then a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Originally, he had always had a good impression of North Korea, which was regarded as a relatively obedient vassal state.

But who would have thought that when His Majesty regained Jianzhou this time, the tiny North Korea refused to send troops to help.It's even more damning now that he took advantage of the lack of troops in his city to invade.

"Mr. Governor, those people look like they have a large number of people, but they are all soldiers and generals. We took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, but less than half of them actually took action. They themselves were scared to death! If they hadn't run so fast, we would have I can definitely kill a few more people, and I definitely won't just get less than a thousand heads!" Huo Hai reported the battle situation and results with great pride.

When Xu Shiying learned that there were almost no casualties on his side, he couldn't help but wonder: "I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so brave! The governor will report the matter tomorrow, and your Majesty will definitely reward you!"

"Your Majesty has shown great kindness to those in humble positions. It is our duty to defend the city. We don't ask for rewards for such small things. We just hope that we can continue to be here!" Huo Hai said with a smile on his face, looking disapproving.

Xu Shiying has been with this group of people for a long time, and probably has a clear understanding of their psychology.

The troops stationed here are treated well, and living here can be said to be a privileged person. At least they can become VIPs in the red light district outside the city every time they are paid.

It's just that neither the [-] garrisons in the front nor the [-] garrisons newly joined in the back have made any achievements, so they are all afraid of being transferred back to the country.

Now they suddenly have a chance to perform, but the garrison on Jeju Island is so arrogant that they no longer regard it as military merit. The only demand is that they can continue to stay here.

Xu Shiying will naturally report the matter here, but at this moment, he still has one more thing to do, which is to escort Jezhou Mu Li Zhunbin to the high platform of the big playground.
