Chapter 478: The Lord of Korea
The lord of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Liang, is really in a good mood these days, the Ming Emperor is broad-minded, and he is not guilty of the mistakes he has committed in the past, but also treats him politely, and lives in the most luxurious courtyard of Honglu Temple, and the diet is also the highest standard.
A few ministers who came with a few non-dead faces were all happy.
On this day, Li Liang was planning to go out to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to go around, so as to appreciate the customs of the Ming Dynasty, who knew that as soon as he came out of his courtyard, he saw that several ministers were already ready to go.
"I don't know which one is His Royal Highness Li Liang, the lord of North Korea?" Before Li Qi could get mad, Liu Hong gradually walked to the door with a group of guards, and said with a smile.
The title of the lord of the vassal state in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the level of the county king, and it happens to be the same level as Liu Hongji, and Liu Hongjian calls him by his name.
"Who dare you call me by the name of the lord of Korea?" A few Korean vassals quit, they didn't know who was in front of them, they just thought they were prodigals from a certain powerful family in the Ming Dynasty.
"Zichang, Hugh is rude, step back." Seeing this, Li Liang hurriedly stopped, he was no better than those subordinates, he had seen the world, and he knew that the Ming capital was full of nobles, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
"Dare to ask this little brother his surname, what is the matter with this king?" After Li Liang finished admonishing his subordinates, he turned his face and said with a pleasant face.
"The lord of the DPRK is speaking a good Chinese language, but the king is surprised, the kid is not talented, but Liu Hong, the king of the county of Daming Anguo, heard that the lord of the DPRK came to visit the Ming Dynasty, and specially on the order of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, came to visit, His Royal Highness is going to travel?"
Liu Hong gradually announced his name, and said to Li Liang with a smile.
Hiss - Liu Hong has just reported to his home, not only the North Korean lord Li Liang, but also several North Korean ministers have taken cold air one after another.
It is no secret that at this time, Liu Hongjian was simply a god-like existence in the Korean court, and last year the Ming Dynasty was besieged in the capital by 200,000 rebel troops, and then attacked by the Jurchen Wild Tartars, they all knew it.
Originally, the courtiers thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to die, but after more than a year, the Ming Dynasty not only did not die, but was destroyed by rebellion, and the Jurchen Tartars directly destroyed the country.
They didn't believe that the Ming Emperor had such courage, and what made them unbelievable was that after many investigations, the actual commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army was the same Liu Hongjian who had led the allies to turn the rear of Jiannu upside down.
As early as the beginning of the year, when Liu Hong gradually led the allied forces deep behind the enemy, he had temporarily emerged in the Korean court, and more than a month ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty defeated the Jurchen Tartars one after another, which shocked the Korean monarchs and ministers.
"I have admired the name for a long time, but I didn't expect the Jurchens to destroy the country so young! Daming is really a masterpiece! Although Li Liang was horrified in his heart, he still replied with a clear courtesy.
"Whereever, how dare the kid take the risk of leading the army, this is all the credit of Your Majesty and the Ming soldiers!" Liu Hong gradually said modestly.
"Ambition is not old, Your Highness is humble." Li Qi said politely.
"Today's weather is good, close to late autumn, the maple leaves on the outskirts of the capital are red, the kid takes His Royal Highness to the suburbs?" Liu Hongjian proposed.
"Whatever the guest wants." Li Liang is indispensable, and he deeply feels that the young man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing, which is different from the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hahaha! Let's go, the boy will take His Highness to a good place. Liu Hong gradually waved his hand, and a few horses had already moved over from the Honglu Temple, plus a group of guards to the direction of Xishan.
Liu Hongjian was observing Li Liang all the way, although the lord of North Korea was over half a hundred years old, his body and bones were more than half better than Chongzhen, and in terms of temperament between conversations, he was also a cheerful person.
The group walked around at the foot of the West Mountain, and unconsciously walked to the periphery of the West Mountain camp in the Ming Dynasty, but when they heard the tsunami-like training sound of the Beijing camp military mountain in the military camp, the Korean lord looked sideways.
This is the master of the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Highness, do you want to go into the barracks to take a closer look?" Liu Hong gradually saw this, Li Liang looked at the direction of Xishan Daying in a daze, and then said, this is what he wants!
"Youming, and Bo Nai's minister, can you go?" Li Liangzi and Bo, the two talked happily along the way, plus Liu Hong gradually became acquainted, it has only been more than an hour, and the two have already commensurate each other with each other regardless of their official positions.
Compared with going to see the customs of the Ming Dynasty, where is there a close look at the reality of the Ming armaments, Li Ju is still a young man in front of him who is so happy, and he can't help but rejoice in his heart.
"Haha, North Korea and the Ming Dynasty are not conquest countries, three hundred years of friendship, how can you go, go! The boy took His Highness down. Liu Hong waved his hand and immediately led everyone forward.
Jokes, if a glance can make people learn things, then he Liu Hong gradually doesn't have to mess around.
Although Liu Hongjian basically does not run here, he still bears the name of the governor of Beijing, and the deputy governor He Guoxing saw Liu Hongjian coming, and thought that he had something important to explain, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Liu Hongjian only said that he only came to bring guests around this time, so that all He Guoxing's training could be carried out as usual.
The Xishan camp covers a large area, and the camp for training alone has hundreds of acres, and it is already noon at this time, but the sergeants of each battalion are still stepping up their training.
The musket battalion, artillery battalion, and cavalry battalion shouted their own slogans, and from time to time there were earth-shattering gunshots, cannons, and galloping horses, which shocked the Korean monarchs and ministers to the point that their faces changed.
"How? Can the Ming Dynasty's military appearance be returned to His Royal Highness's eyes? Liu Hong gradually glanced at several Korean courtiers like dirt buns, and turned back to Li Kun.
"Duan is the division of tigers and wolves, no wonder it makes the Jurchen Tartars frightened!" Li Qi stared at the rows of muskets and artillery, and his eyes lit up.
Before they came, they had studied the battle of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and learned that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to slaughter the Jurchens with lightning speed was because of extremely sharp firearms.
After seeing the army of the Ming Dynasty, on the way back, Li Liang kept silent.
"Why is Your Highness so unhappy? But Youming's hospitality is not good? Liu Hong gradually knew what Li Lian was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
"Where and where, when I saw the face of the big Ming tiger, Xiao Wang's heart was very shocked, because he was in a trance, and I hope that Youming will not be surprised." Li Liang was absent-minded, he kept thinking in his heart, if North Korea also had such firearms, how could he be humiliated by the Hu people.
But firearms are the most important weapons of the Ming Kingdom, how can people give them to you?
Li Kun's heart was very entangled, and he was uncomfortable sitting on horseback, and the group was walking slowly, when Li Liang suddenly stopped.
"Why did Your Highness stop, but something?" Seeing that Li Liang looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Hong gradually pretended to be puzzled.
"Xiao Wang has a reluctant request." Finally, Li Liang couldn't help it.
"What is reluctant, Your Highness has seen the outside, what is the matter, and just say it!" Liu Hong gradually patted his chest and said happily in his heart, this guy is quite bearable.
"That's the case, North Korea's armaments are sluggish, and it has been humiliated by other places, Xiao Wang...... Xiao Wang wants to ask, can Daming's firearms be sold? ”
