I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 345 Changes in North Korea
The Manchu Qing, who retreated to Shengjing, emptied half of Korea and eastern Khalkha, and finally had no shortage of food and grass.

Jeju Island.

"Your Highness, good news, good news!" Pu Wenxiu, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked excited and hurriedly found Li Bin.

Although Li Yun was exiled, he was still Wang Shidi's younger brother, or the biological brother of Jingzong Li Yun who had just died of illness.

Jingzong was weak and sick, so he had no children.

Therefore, even if he is exiled to Jeju, he is actually under house arrest in another place.Even though you can't wear expensive clothes and your freedom is restricted, the rest remains as usual.It is definitely impossible to ask him to do the work, even the food has to be served.

Li Bin smiled slightly and said, "Chengfu, why are you so anxious?"

He is good at nourishing qi and knows how to hide his strength and bide his time.

Historically, with the exception of a few important officials of the Lao Lun sect who were a fatal threat to him and were quickly executed after he ascended the throne, he had to endure the rest of the Lao Lun sect until four years later when the throne was secure before taking action.

Moreover, they did not try to eradicate the root cause, but instead deliberately reconciled the contradiction between the old theory and the young theory.

The King of Korea was well aware of the dangers of party unity and opposition to dissenters. Since then, the Korean tradition of schizophrenia and endless party strife has been alleviated.

Pu Wenxiu said: "Your Highness, the king has passed away!"

Li Yan's smile stopped abruptly: "What!"

Pu Wenxiu said: "There is no queen before the king, and His Highness is the only surviving prince of Suzong. The brother of the former king deserves to inherit the royal family!"

Li Bin was not so optimistic and shook his head and said: "The courtiers such as Jin Yijing and Mu Hulong will not give up easily, and the final result is that they will argue with each other endlessly with Li Guangzuo and Zhao Taiyi. This throne... I'm afraid it will be difficult! "

Li Guangzuo and Zhao Taiyi were both friends with Li Bang, but in the DPRK, Jin Yijing and Mu Hulong were more powerful. Even if the Shaolun sect made collective efforts, there would be a stalemate at best.

Li Bin didn't think he could win the throne easily.

Pu Wenxiu suddenly said in a leisurely tone: "Your Highness, do you still remember why you came here?"

"..."

Li Ban was a smart man and instantly understood what Pu Wenxiu meant: "But after all, this is our internal affairs in North Korea. Would it be inappropriate if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was involved?"

Pu Wenxiu said: "Your Highness, to say something disrespectful, our country of Korea is weak and poor, and it is only through small things that we can survive. Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is declining, Your Highness, because of your closeness to the Celestial Dynasty, you are favored by those The Lao Lun faction rebelled against the party and was exiled to Jeju. Now that the king has passed away, it is time for His Highness to return to Seoul to inherit the throne and bring order to the chaos. It is just asking the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty to bring peace to the rebels. What's wrong with that?"

Li Yan was startled and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

As expected of a scholar, in just a few words, he branded the old commentators like Jin Yijing and Mu Hulong as rebels, and invited the Ming Dynasty... No, the Celestial Army brought order to the chaos.

Moreover, the North Korean political system is all about making small things big, and does not care about the public opinion at all.

One reason for the low combat effectiveness of their army is that the North Korean class system is completely fixed.

The descendants of nobles will always be nobles, and the descendants of untouchables will always be untouchables.

Say so!

Even if a North Korean soldier beheaded Huang Taiji, he would still be a soldier when he went back, nothing more.

Li Bin is simply too young and not thick-skinned enough.After thinking about it again and again, he thought it was feasible and then said: "In that case, I will leave everything to Chengfu."

"Yes." Pu Wenxiu quickly accepted the order.

Nowadays, the King of North Korea has passed away, and a new round of party strife is erupting in Seoul. No one has noticed the changes in the situation on Jeju Island.

……

After receiving an urgent report from the Northern Army about North Korea and a letter of invitation for troops written by Li Ban, Zhu Yijiong was surprised and instantly saw an opportunity.

Although this place on the peninsula is indifferent, even the pickles that later generations were proud of were sticks.Or because the peninsula is lacking in resources, let alone meat, food is often not enough, so this is a cheap food.

But the peninsula is not completely useless. At least Jeju Island is a rare horse breeding land, and it is also adjacent to Liaodong.

In order to attack Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty set up a horse breeding farm here and turned Jeju Island into its own Tamna Military and Civilian Administration.

Jeju Island was just the name that North Korea later changed when it took the opportunity to annex Tamna (meaning small island) during the transition between Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The Ming Dynasty didn't bother to care about it.

There is also Hamgyong Province in northern North Korea, which North Korea also took advantage of this opportunity to annex.Zhu Di was so annoyed by it that he acquiesced.

Of course, Zhu Di was not a fool. During the Five Expeditions to Mobei, he directly blackmailed tens of thousands of war horses from North Korea. The war horses in North Korea were directly extinct. Even the ministers of the DPRK and China could only travel by donkey carts.

This is why Lao Zhu wants to list North Korea as a country that cannot be conquered. Otherwise, if it is really annexed, it will not be easy to exploit.

Zhu Yijiong immediately issued an order to mobilize the Northern Army to Jeju... No, it was Tamluo who went to assist Li Bang in the battle and help him seize the throne.

There is no need to adjust too much, half an army is enough.

The number of Koreans serving in the military was 20, but the actual number of soldiers was only 10, and the remaining half were paid for cloth and other services as deductions.

However, the actual amount paid was less than 2.

Half of the Ming army went to fight 10 Korean soldiers with low combat effectiveness, but they were scattered everywhere, which was more than enough.

As for food, the Ming army would provide food for the expedition themselves. Zhu Yijiong was short of food, but he was not unable to afford such a small amount of food.

Moreover, a batch of winter wheat has been planted in the north, and production has resumed. As soon as next spring begins, the food shortage problem in the north will be greatly alleviated.

When he arrived in Tamna, he later helped Li Bang seize the throne, and the food supply was all the responsibility of Li Bang, the king of Joseon.

Zhu Yijiong also sent the canonized king's robe and the king's gold seal. The condition was to cede Tamluo to the Ming Dynasty.

No, how can it be said to be a cession? Tamluo is the homeland of China.It was just secretly seized by North Korea, including Hamgyong Province in northern North Korea.

The Seventh Army dispatched 15000 men and set off from Dengzhou in warships. It didn't take long to arrive at Tamna.

Tamna was originally a place used to exile prisoners in the former Ming Dynasty and Joseon Dynasty. The population here includes members of the royal family, Korean nobles and ministers who lost the political struggle, and many are even descendants of criminals who were exiled here in the former Ming Dynasty.

For example, the descendants of King Liang, Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen of the Yuan Dynasty all stayed in Tamluo.

When the Ming army landed on Tamna, the Korean officials on the island didn't even have time to react and couldn't react.The entire Tamluo is basically made up of prisoners and slaves. There are soldiers and horses, but they are all fake, and the number is not even a fraction of the Ming army.

Tamluo changed hands like this.

At this time, Li Bancai, together with Pu Wenxiu and other close confidants who were in trouble, knelt down to greet him after hearing the news.

"Prince Li Bing of the lower prince, together with his subordinate officials, respectfully welcomes the arrival of the army of the Celestial Dynasty!"

This is what Pu Wenxiu taught him. He must lower his posture and never let the Chinese army think that the King of Joseon is an arrogant and disrespectful guy.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Your Majesty heard about His Highness's plight and sympathized with His Highness. Therefore, he sent us here to help His Highness bring order to the chaos and suppress the rebellion!" Hu Shiying, the magistrate of Tamluo County who was sent by Zhu Yijiong, said quickly, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze. , which makes people feel good when they see it.

To put it bluntly, he is handsome and speaks nicely.

This guy was a Jinshi candidate for the second time the Ming Dynasty opened the examination. Although Zhu Yijiong did not require it, in ancient scientific examinations, in addition to having a talented family and a good family background, he also had to have an appearance that could not be offensive.

Therefore, it is really a miracle that Ji Xiaolan can become an official.Because he is ugly and has a stutter.

Li Bin quickly patted his horse and praised: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is really considerate of his country. The little king is so moved. If the little king can re-inherit the throne, he will serve the Celestial Empire forever and pay tribute as a minister."

Now he calls himself Xiao Wang.

The smile on Hu Shiying's face became even wider, and he said: "I think Your Majesty will be very happy that His Majesty has such intention. This is His Majesty's edict to confer His Majesty on His Majesty, and there is also a gold seal. How about His Majesty ascending the throne here if the day is worse than the sun?"

Li Yan's heart was beating fast and he hadn't answered yet.Pu Wenxiu on the side knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne immediately and bring order to the chaos!"

Li Bin thought about it for a moment and finally nodded: "Everything is according to what Lord Tianchao said."

On the same day, Li Bin hurriedly ascended the throne and became king in Tamluo's original official residence, which was also the only decent room.

Fortunately, Hu Shiying and the others brought the king's robe and gold seal, otherwise they might not even be able to get together the king's robe.

After Li Bin ascended the throne, Hu Shiying also made the Ming Dynasty's request to return Tamluo Island.

In this regard, Li Bin had no ideological burden at all and readily agreed. Not to mention that Tamluo was a place of exile, so he would not feel bad if it was cut off.

Moreover, Tamluo has been actually occupied by the Ming army, and now it can be exchanged for the throne. It is not a good deal.
