Chapter 232 Fusang invaded Korea, Ming Dynasty sent troops and Meng Yuan paid for it

"This is indeed possible, but not in a short period of time."

"I've been doing a lot of work in the chemical industry during this period. It will take a long time to cultivate related talents. Instead of looking forward to this, Dad, why not wait for Meng Yuan to help us bring the goods? It's not buying goods."

"After all, the major khanates west of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty have a large population, and they are also a huge market."

Xiao Han said.

"Ok?"

"Isn't Meng Yuan trying to make money from our Ming Dynasty?"

"What do you mean by helping us sell goods?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled.

"Forehead…"

"Dad, think about it differently. If Meng Yuan sells our goods, we will also make money. If there is more demand from Meng Yuan, we will make more money."

"Isn't this Meng Yuan helping us sell goods?"

Xiao Han said.

"Well, that makes sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and nodded.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the British Duke!"

"Urgent report from Goryeo. Fusang suddenly launched an army of 200,000 troops to raid Goryeo. Goryeo general Li Chenggui was unable to defend and has lost dozens of cities?"

"King Wang Qi of Goryeo is sending an envoy to Ming Dynasty's market in Wuliangha to seek help from General Lanyu and others."

While the father and son were talking, Jiang You rushed in and spoke.

"Ok?"

"Humph!"

"Goryeo is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"They are still nominally members of Meng Yuan. Why do they lick their faces and ask for help from our Ming Dynasty?"

"Send the order to Lan Yu to drive back the envoy from Goryeo."

Dean Zhu snorted coldly.

"father."

"I think this can be done."

Xiao Han frowned slightly and then said.

"Snowstorm."

"what are you saying?"

"Goryeo is a vassal state of Meng Yuan, so we mobilize troops to help Meng Yuan fight?"

Zhu Biao was also a little dissatisfied.

"You think so."

"Now Wuliangha has become the back garden of our Ming Dynasty. Wang Qi of Goryeo cannot contact Meng Yuan, so he can only gamble nearby and ask for help from our Ming Dynasty."

"If our Ming Dynasty did not send troops, the large areas of Goryeo's land would be in vain for the Fusang Japanese pirates."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to send troops directly to Goryeo. After all, it is easy to invite the gods but difficult to send them away. It will not be easy for Goryeo to invite us Ming soldiers in and then want us to leave."

"By then, our Ming Dynasty will control Goryeo's commerce and station troops in Goryeo. Even if Goryeo insists on not severing relations with the Meng Yuan and signs an affiliation treaty with our Ming Dynasty, it will actually be a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

"Besides, there are sensible people in Goryeo. Even if Wang Qi is determined to follow Meng Yuan to the end, the people below will not agree."

"For example, that Li Chenggui, if he really gets to that point, he will most likely rebel to seize the throne and worship our Ming Dynasty."

Xiao Han pointed to Gao Li on the map in the room and said.

"That's what happened."

"But we understand that sending troops to help Meng Yuan fight for nothing, and we feel unhappy."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted. As the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the stakes.

It's just that I don't want to do this from the bottom of my heart.

He needs to give himself a reason to agree to maintain the majesty of Ming Dynasty.

"This is easy."

"At that time, while we are stationing troops on the Goryeo border, we will directly send the distress letter sent by the Goryeo envoy to Helin City, ask Meng Yuan to contribute military expenses, and ask our Ming Dynasty to help."

"Anyway, now Emperor Xuanguang is looking forward to picking up food from our Ming Dynasty's exchange market, a little military expenditure, or to support their Mongolian vassal state. Even if he knows in his heart that this is paying to push Goryeo to our Ming Dynasty, he has to pinch it. Turn your nose and admit it."

"After all, Emperor Xuanguang is still willing to pay for some military expenses compared to the benefits that can be gained from transshipment."

"This move will not only earn our Ming Dynasty a lot of fame, but also gain face."

"It can also intensify the conflict between Emperor Xuanguang and the nobles of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and reduce the benefits that the transshipment can bring to the Meng Yuan Dynasty, so that we, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, can sit back and relax."

Xiao Han pinched his chin.

"In this case, if Meng Yuan can agree, then there is no problem. But the question is, will Meng Yuan really agree?"

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.

"Will do."

"The nobles of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty will object, but Emperor Xuanguang, who holds military power, will definitely be inclined to accept our Ming Dynasty's proposal."

"As long as he makes a decision, even if the Meng Yuan aristocratic group is extremely angry, they will still have to break their teeth and swallow it."

"Especially, this matter is not completely without benefits for Emperor Xuanguang. Originally, he, the emperor, would account for the majority of the goods transported to the Ming Dynasty."

"Now, our Ming Dynasty proposes that the Mongolian Yuan support military spending. Emperor Xuanguang can also take this opportunity to further weaken the power of the major tribes of the Mongolian Yuan nobles and strengthen his control over the grassland."

"Based on emotion and reason, he has no reason to refuse. After all, this person is not without ambition, he just doesn't have the ability to match it."

Xiao Han said.

"That being said, it's true."

"No matter what, our Ming Dynasty will not pay compensation. It is indeed worth moving." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his face was about to be saved, so Emperor Hongwu was not an indecisive person.

Tughluq dynasty.

Liang Guo's western front advanced to the pass.

This is a pass that has been built with a lot of manpower and material resources since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the construction time is still short and has not yet been completed, it already has good defensive capabilities.

From the name of this pass, it can be seen that the ambitions of Queen Wanshan are not limited to the seven states of Liang.

Wan Shanhou plans to use this pass to block many lords in Kansai for two to three years. When the Liang Kingdom is in operation and the existing territory is digested, Wan Shanhou will continue to advance westward.

The purpose of building this level is to attack, not to defend!

After advancing to the gate, Wan Shanhou, Zhou Dexing, and Xiao Wu stood at the top of the city, looking at the dark coalition camp in the distance, but they showed no fear on their faces.

"All kings, surrender."

"As long as you are willing to remove your imperial title and surrender to our great Majesty, your Majesty will recognize your status as lord!"

Under the city tower, an envoy sent by me came on horseback and spoke loudly.

Originally, I planned to wipe out Wanshanhou directly, but when I saw the artillery on Qianjin Pass and Guancheng built by Wanshanhou in a short period of time, I gave up.

There are only so many of his direct troops, which are used to suppress the princes, establish a foothold in the Tughluq Dynasty, and secure the throne. He is not willing to waste these precious "elite troops" on attacking a country that is difficult to fight at first sight. on the pass.

As long as Queen Wan Shan gives him face and admits that he is a minister of him, the co-owner of Tughluq, then he can use Poxiadonkey to confer a title and then retreat.

He didn't even care whether the seven princely states followed Wanshan.

There are so many small groups among the lords of the feudal states. There are not many of them after the Duowanshan Mountains, and there are not many of them after the Shaowanshan Mountains.

As for aliens?

It’s so funny, how can these Tughluq dynasty masters be locals?

The locals are living at the bottom.

Anyway, everyone is from outside, but they are all eyeing this piece of fat. To give each other face, why fight to death?

Ben thought so, and he thought that if Queen Wan Shan was smart enough, she would definitely agree to his request, and even the credentials for canonization were ready.

It's a pity that Queen Wan Shan, as a person who was recognized by Xiao Han as having an online ability to get things done, how could she share the leadership with Ben Xinhe so easily.

"Go back and tell your Majesty!"

"He is an emperor, and I am also an emperor."

"It's impossible to remove the imperial title. Even though you look at so many people, in my eyes you are nothing more than a chicken or a dog."

"If he had the guts, he would have attacked the city to see if your numbers were greater or if my advance was strong."

Wan Shanhou snorted coldly and spoke directly.

"My king, we can all live in harmony, so why make ourselves uncomfortable?"

"We have hundreds of thousands of troops. Once we attack the city, it will only take a moment to break through and capture you."

"Isn't it good for each other to have some dignity?"

"I advise all kings to stop when enough is enough!"

The envoy looked at the mountains on top of the city and said unwillingly.

"Fire!"

Queen Wan Shan simply ignored the messenger and ordered the cannon to be fired directly.

What a joke.

Even if the opponent doesn't come to fight him, Queen Wan Shan still plans to mess up the Tughluq Dynasty and create opportunities for herself.

Now that the opportunity has come to weaken the majesty of this Tughluq emperor, how could Empress Wan Shan let it go?

He wants to use this battle to make this so-called great emperor who has expanded his territory thousands of miles understand that you, old man, are still far from being a real emperor.

As long as Queen Wanshan holds on in this battle, then the major lords of the Tughluq Dynasty will feel that they are nothing more than this and fall back into the situation of feudal rule. This is what Queen Wanshan must find an opportunity to do no matter what. Arrived.

boom!

Tughluq Allied Forces, in the Chinese army's tent, Ben smashed the cup in his hand to pieces.

"Where did this stupid young man come from? Why do you have to fight against me?"

"Obviously there is no need to fight. Is it possible that the forces under his control were blown by the strong wind?"

"You don't feel bad at all?"

Ben spoke angrily.

After venting his anger, he slowly calmed down.

Now, a dilemma faced him.

First, if he orders an siege, the losses of his troops will definitely not be small, and they may not be able to defeat it.

Second, he left in despair, and his prestige was ruined. The feudal lords who were conquered by him returned to a situation where they were almost independent of each other.

Either result is something I don't want to see.

"Your Majesty, I think we actually have a third option."

In the big tent, Ben's counselor, the patrolman, spoke.

"How to say?"

"If your answer does not satisfy me, I will chop off your head!"

Ben, who was irritated, said impatiently.

"It's very simple."

"Since all we need is an excuse to retreat, we can give it to ourselves."

"If you don't want to deprive him of the title of Emperor Wanshan, then he won't. But it is true that the two countries are in the territory of Tughluq. Why not just canonize Queen Wanshan as the emperor of the affiliated empire?"

"If he says he is, we won't refute it and admit that he is."

"In this way, Queen Wan Shan will not be able to refuse, because it is impossible for him to deny his identity as emperor."

Koruri said to Ben.
