The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 640
"Okay!" Zhu Linmei nodded happily, "Recently, the craftsmen are asked to rush to work, and as many as they can make, there will be a big battle in a month. I will ask Yang Tinglin to allocate the required silver to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible."

It would cost nearly 20 taels of silver to make these batches of firecrackers, bullets, etc., but just waiting for the ocean-going caravan to come back from Japan, this kind of expense is not a big deal at all, so he almost didn’t even look at it when he said this. blink.

"The subordinate obeys the order."

After coming out of the Military Weapons Bureau, Zhu Linmei was thinking about going to Mu Zhiqing's place, telling her the good news of her big wedding next month, and then having a meal, when she saw a man dressed in the palace rushing to stop Shi Lin from whispering some.

Shi Lin then turned to Zhu Lin and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Rites said he has something important to see."

State affairs are the most important thing, Zhu Linmi had no choice but to sigh and ordered the car to go back to the palace.

Xu Erlu stood guard outside the Meridian Gate. He didn't know that this team of horses and horses was a holy driver until he saw Shi Lin, so he hurriedly went up to salute.

Zhu Linmei greeted him to get into the car, and asked, "Why is it so urgent?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the king of North Korea Li Ji sent an envoy to play. Inheungjun Li Ying of North Korea rebelled, and the rebels have occupied the entire territory of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province. Fierce battle."

"Mr. Renxing rebelled?" Zhu Linmei recalled that Dai Xiuyuan sent back a secret report a while ago, mentioning Li Ying's intention to burn down the North Korean navy, and later asked Zheng Wancheng to pretend to be a dark thread. She didn't expect it to be less than two months After a while, this person raised his troops to rebel.In his memory, there was no such period in history.

He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know the reason?"

"The minister also listened to what the Korean envoy said." Xu Erlu then "forged" the amnesty letter from Ren Xingjun, saying that Li Zhen surrendered to the captives and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. Response, and at the same time lead the army to the south, etc. are roughly recounted.

Zhu Linming knew in her heart that the letter of pardon was not forged, but somehow it fell into Li Ying's hands.I sent Dai Xiuyuan into the DPRK to thwart the North Korean navy's captives, but I didn't expect to trigger such a strong butterfly effect and set off a huge wave in North Korea.

Xu Erlu said again: "Your Majesty, the envoy from North Korea is still in the Siyi Pavilion, and he is eager to see you. Do you see if..."

"See you! Let him go to Wenhua Palace to wait now, and I will come later."

Daming is the suzerain country, so it is natural to take care of North Korea if something happens.Zhu Lin thought in her heart, but it must not be like the Wanli Dynasty. Daming spent money and sent troops to make a whole, but in the end not only got nothing, but also dragged down the country's finances.Since it is North Korea who wants something from me, it is natural to let them shed some blood.

Xu Erlu hurriedly said: "Yes, the next official will go and take him into the palace."

Another hour later, a eunuch reported that the North Korean envoy had arrived, and Zhu Linmi changed into a uniform and left for the Wenhua Palace.

The official envoy sent by North Korea was Li Xingli, and the deputy envoy was Jin Zidian's eldest son, Jinlian.They didn't expect to have an audience so soon, and they didn't even take care of the guard of honor in a hurry, which seemed rather crude.

When the two heard that the Son of Heaven was coming, they hurriedly followed the leading eunuch into the hall.There was no need for Honglu Temple officials to direct the etiquette, the two bowed their heads in a very sophisticated manner, and they were also extremely fluent in Chinese, "Xiaobang envoy Li Xingli (golden chain) pays homage to the emperor of Shangguo, long live your majesty, long live, long live. "Then the gold chain held the credentials and the list of tributes with both hands.

"Be flat."

Zhu Linmei took the tribute slip from Ma Wensheng and glanced at it. The hundred-year-old ginseng alone gave away more than 100 catties, as well as a lot of gems, brocades, furs, etc. The total value was estimated to be more than ten thousand taels, based on the national strength of North Korea. Said, it can be regarded as the next book.

He put the gift list aside, skipped the routine, and said directly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Xingli thought that according to the normal procedure, the emperor would first inquire about the king of North Korea and the current situation in the country. What's the matter...I don't know how to answer it now.

At this moment, a eunuch trotted along the corner of the room to Ma Wensheng's side, and whispered a few words.Eunuch Ma frowned suspiciously, bowed and whispered to Zhu Linmi, "Long Live Lord, Li Shilang from the Ministry of Rites is outside the hall, and it seems that there is another group of North Korean envoys seeking to see him."

Another call?Could it be Li Ying's person?Zhu Lin was overjoyed, and waved to Li Xingli, "You guys wait here first." Then she got up and went around to the back hall, and said to Ma Wensheng, "Biography to Li Guangchun."

"Yes."

Li Shilang stepped forward to greet the ceremony, and then reported: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Lord Renxing of the Joseon Dynasty sent an envoy to sue Li Zhen for crimes such as defecting to captives, disobedience, and killing without authorization, and he is in the Ministry of Rites."

It turned out that Li Ying was very anxious when he heard the news that Li Ying had sent people to Daming, he was afraid that his clever words would win the support of the emperor of the kingdom, and the situation he had just opened might be in vain.

So he hurriedly ordered his confidant Jin Zhengqing to go to Daming to disrupt Li Zhen's plot.His speed is also extremely fast. Although he set off two days late, he almost entered Nanjing with Li Xingli.

As soon as Kim Jong-kyung reported his name at the Ministry of Rites, he was shocked to hear that a North Korean envoy was about to meet the emperor.In desperation, he approached Li Guangchun, offered him a lot of benefits, and begged him to let him meet before Li Zhen's people.

Zhu Linmi narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and said to herself that it would be nice to have a piece of the cake, as there is competition to ask for the price!He immediately ordered Li Guangchun, "Take them to Wenhua Palace."

Li Guangchun didn't expect it to be so smooth. He was overjoyed and immediately turned to look for Jin Zhengqing. As soon as he left the Meridian Gate, he was waiting not far away, obviously impatient.

Li Xingli waited here for a long time, and finally saw the emperor return, and was about to continue to report, but heard Ma Wensheng say: "Xuan, Kim Jong-kyung and others from North Korea will see you."

Li Xingli was stunned on the spot.After Kim Jong-kyung finished the ceremony, the two glared at each other viciously, sparks almost burst out in the air.

Jin Zhengqing took a few steps forward unceremoniously, pushed Li Xingli aside, bowed and said, "Xiaochen Qizuo..."

Li Xingli became anxious at the moment, and immediately said in a higher voice: "Qizao Shangguo, the emperor, my king has always been obedient and loyal, how can I expect..."

"Nonsense!" Jin Zhengqing interrupted him not to be outdone, "Li Zhen hooked up with the Hu captives, and his misdeeds are well known in the world! Before, he lost more than [-] soldiers and dozens of warships to help the thieves invade the country of the Celestial Dynasty, and then turned to the Hu captives. Captives claiming to be ministers and paying tribute, and bowing three times and kowtowing nine times to captive chieftains, how dare they lie about obedience and loyalty?!"

"you……"

Jin Zhengqing didn't wait for the other party's rebuttal, and continued: "The former Li Yan actually responded to the orders of the Hu captives and sent the North Korean navy to drive them! If Ren Xingjun hadn't moved Zheng Wancheng with his sincerity to help General Zheng secretly help the Celestial Dynasty, the consequences would have been disastrous!

"Today, Ren Xingjun Xing Renyi's teacher, should the number of days, seek the rebellion of the innocence, and everyone in North Korea will follow. The traitors who rebel against the heaven will be destroyed in the sun!"
