Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 199 Entering Your Mother, This King Will Lead the Army to Kill the King of Korea

Zheng Sicheng, who was still watching the play, couldn't help but sit still.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, calm down, generals, calm down, it's just some silver taels, it's not worth rashly using weapons..."

"Some silver taels?"

Zhu Di smiled coldly and stared closely at Zheng Mi, "21 taels of silver with 22% interest, now it has become [-] taels of silver, why do you see it as just some taels of silver in the eyes of an official?
In this way, you returned the silver for these Korean thieves? "

Zheng Mi immediately smiled, and shrank his neck and replied: "Your Highness, your subordinate... Your subordinate is only a mere sixth-rank official, how can you spend so much money?"

Zhu Di was furious, and scolded: "Then you persuade the king to calm down? Do you know how much grain can be bought with 22 taels of silver?...

At least 40 shi of grain, enough to feed 5 people for a year..."

Zheng Mi bowed his head, not daring to speak.

Still puzzled, Zhu Di turned his head to stare at Cui Chun, "My king borrowed money from Korea and sold you transparent glass and secret recipes for growing vegetables in winter.

As a result, you waited for the king of Koryo to earn money, but sent you, a thief officer, to find the king and cry for poverty?Won't you give me back even a tael of silver? "

"Damn it..."

The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhu Di became.

"Zhu Changshi, quickly send someone to report to the imperial court, this king will personally lead the army, and kill that wolf-hearted, ungrateful King of Korea!
Damn it, no one has ever dared to play tricks on me like this! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Old man Zhu Fu also looked angry.

Goryeo's coquettish manipulation also angered Zhu Fu.

After bowing his hands and saluting, Zhu Fu left the hall angrily.

Zheng Mi stared at this scene with wide eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word.

As for Cui Chun and other Koryo envoys, their faces changed drastically, feeling like the sky was falling.

All of them knelt on the ground in fear, begging for mercy.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, calm down, I, the King of Koryo, really have hidden secrets in doing this!  …

Your Highness, I, the King of Koryo, have always respected Daming, respected Daming as the suzerain state, and paid tribute every year. There is absolutely no disrespect! ..."

"Your Highness, please calm down. Although my country of Koryo is small, it has millions of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Once the swords are used, both sides will suffer..."

Hearing this, Tang Yun and other generals on the side couldn't help being furious.

"The small Koryo country is not ashamed of its big words. Yeye only needs to bring my [-] elite soldiers from the Ming Dynasty to destroy the small Koryo country!"

"Your Highness, let's recruit. Now the people of our Beiping Mansion are rich. As long as His Highness gives orders, we can gather [-] elite soldiers in half a month. Before the New Year's Eve, the King of Koryo will be brought before His Highness at the end, and His Highness will whip him!"

"Your Highness, King Qin, King Jin, King Zhou, and other Highnesses are all vassals now. If Your Highness feels that recruiting people is a waste of people's power, you can ask your Highnesses for help.

As long as the country of Koryo is conquered, it will be enough to repay the favors of the Highnesses..."

"Your Highness, some pirates in the district can plunder Goryeo everywhere. In the end, they only need to bring 22 Yanshan Guards, and within a year, they can take back the [-] silver owed by Goryeo to His Highness..."

"Exactly, my Ming Dynasty can even fight Beiyuan. Their Emperor Beiyuan fled around, and the small country of Koryo can be wiped out directly..."

Seeing this ferocious face, like a group of bandits, Cui Chun, who was still somewhat confident, couldn't help but start to panic.

He knew that as long as he confessed his mistake in Koryo, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the court of Ming Dynasty would definitely not attack their King of Koryo.

However, how does he feel that this King Yan and his group of soldiers are all bandits?
Perhaps, they will really start a war against them in private?
In the original plan, I just wanted to frighten the envoys of Goryeo, so as to give a legitimate reason for sending troops in the future.

However, Zhu Di was pleasantly surprised to find out at this meeting. After such a statement, it was justified for him to send troops!

"Proceed with the order, the Yanshan Guards will prepare the army for war, and prepare all the firearms and bombs for the king! In addition, look for rich merchants in the south and buy warships for us!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Below, Guo An reluctantly responded, and prepared to go out.

On the opposite side, Tang Yun, Chen Shou and other generals of the Yanshan guards also stood up and bid farewell to Zhu Di.

"This……"

Cui Chun was dumbfounded, that thief Li Shihou misunderstood him!
A good thing, how did it become like this?
Moreover, why are the King Yan and his subjects so bold?How dare you prepare for battle in private?

If war starts, he, Cui Chun, will be the sinner of the entire Goryeo Kingdom!
"Your Highness, calm down, calm down, I, Koryo, are willing to pay back the money, willing to pay back the money!"

Zhu Di sneered, and asked in a low voice, "Would you like to pay back the money?... How?"

"This……"

Cui Chun was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Highness, my Koryo country can use things to pay for money! I don't know if His Highness wants horses, or ores, Korean ginseng...even some maidservants are also acceptable!

Your Highness, I really have no money in the inner bank of the King of Koryo, please calm down my anger, I can only use objects to pay for it..."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's expression froze.

Down below, Guo An, who hadn't left yet, was also taken aback. How could Koryo have no lower limit?
However, since ancient times, the Goryeo maidservants have been quite valuable in the eyes of the powerful and powerful in Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of something suddenly, Guo An smiled gently, "You are just an envoy, can you be the king of Koryo?"

Cui Chun quickly glanced at Zhu Di who was above him, and found that Zhu Di was not angry at all, and immediately understood that this young official must be the confidant of King Yan.

"Returning to His Royal Highness King Yan, although this Shangguan is an envoy, he comes from the Cui family of Cheorwon and is a younger brother of Cui Ying, the ruler of the palace. He can still decide some small matters in the court of Korea."

"Teorwon Choi?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Guo An's eyes, and his tone subconsciously softened a lot.

"Emissary Cui was born in the Cheorwon Cui clan of the prime minister's clan who married the royal family?"

"Exactly!"

Cui Chun suddenly looked proud.

You must know that in the entire Koryo country, only fifteen noble families can intermarry with the Koryo royal family.

And his Tieyuan Cui family is still the top one among the fifteen aristocratic families.

"So, if you use a city in your Koryo country to pay back, can you be the master?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up on the throne.

Cui Chun's eyes widened directly, "What? Your Highness, how is this possible? No matter how poor our Koryo country is, how could it be possible to sell the city and ruin the family business of the ancestors?"

"That city belongs to the royal family of Goryeo, what has it to do with your Cheorwon Cui family?"

Guo An sneered, and continued: "Besides, Koryo is so barren that a mere city is not worth 22 taels of silver, and at most it can be worth 10 taels of silver. This is all due to the kindness of my Highness!"

"This……"

Cui Chun's eyes widened, why don't you grab it?

Shaking his head again and again.

"Forgive me, Your Highness, foreign ministers dare not decide on such a big matter without permission!"

"So, let's go to war!"

Guo An said softly, "His Royal Highness is so angry, I have come up with a solution for you and the Koryo Kingdom. Since you want to do this, I can't help you if I want to help you!"

Cui Chun's face became anxious, and he subconsciously looked towards the throne.

Sure enough, Zhu Di had a cold face.

Cui Chun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, calm down, sell the land and the city, even I, the king of Koryo, dare not make decisions privately, and have to discuss with the ministers at the court meeting...

However, please rest assured His Royal Highness King Yan, when the foreign minister returns to Korea, he will immediately report this matter to the King of Korea! "

"Oh?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Di's face, "Will your King of Korea agree to this?"

Cui Chun quickly replied: "The foreign ministers can't guarantee this matter, but the foreign ministers can guarantee that as long as the king knows what His Highness wants, he will definitely consider it carefully..."

As he said that, Cui Chun thought of something, and asked again: "It's just that foreign ministers don't understand. My Koryo country is still such a wide sea from Daming. Not to mention barren, it's still very far away from Daming... I don't know if His Royal Highness King Yan wants to buy me. What is the purpose of Goryeo City?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was also taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Guo An who was on the side.

Guo An smiled faintly, "Emissary Cui doesn't know that although Goryeo is poor, there are still many things in Goryeo, which are very valuable in my Ming Dynasty.

As long as my Yan Palace can trade with Korea, then my Yan Palace will definitely earn a lot of money! "

Cui Chun's eyes lit up, and then he asked with some concern: "However, as far as I know, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty forbids all people of Ming Dynasty to go to sea and trade with foreign domains!"

Guo Andao: "That's why our Yanwang Mansion needs to buy a city on the coast of Ergoli Kingdom, so our Yanwang Mansion will not go to sea to trade with Ergoli Kingdom..."

There was a gleam in Zhu Di's eyes.

As for Cui Chun, he was also a little moved.

Although their Koryo country is poor, it does have a lot of good things. If they can be sold to Daming, they will definitely make more money.

As for selling the city?

That city belongs to the royal family, so what does it have to do with them, the nobles of Korea?
"After the foreign ministers go back, they will definitely inform the king of His Highness King Yan's intentions!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

Down below, Guo An said again: "Cui envoy, please remember that if Koryo wants to use the city to pay for money, it needs a letter of credence printed with the seal of the King of Koryo.

It is also necessary to find a city with convenient roads and close to all major cities in Korea.

Moreover, although the wharf outside your city does not need to be as wide as the wharf in Tongzhou City of my Prince Yan's Mansion, it must be enough to support [-] large ships.

This is the minimum requirement of my Yan Palace, so that it can be used to offset 10 taels of silver.

Of course, the better the city you want to sell to me, the higher the price you can pay..."

"This……"

Cui Chun looked embarrassed, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Di, and quickly replied: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the foreign ministers will definitely report all the requests of His Highness King Yan to the King!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Either pay back the money, or use objects to pay for the money, or use the city to pay for the money, you must give this king an explanation before the spring of the next year in Koryo.

If not, by the beginning of spring next year, we should have bought all the warships purchased by Prince Yan's Mansion.

When we get there, before Goryeo has given us any explanation, we will directly lead our troops to go to Goryeo..."

Cui Chun finally remembered that those civil servants and generals who had just walked out of this hall were suddenly full of panic.

"Yes, yes, don't worry His Highness King Yan, I, the King of Korea, will give His Highness an explanation!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di smiled gently, "My Beiping Mansion is still far away from the King's City of Koryo, so let's not wait any longer. You will leave Beiping Mansion today, go back to Koryo, and report to the King of Koryo!"

"Foreign ministers leave!"

Cui Chun hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly left with a group of envoys.
