Li Xingli saw that the great emperor was nodding slightly when he heard this, and his face was flushed with anxiety, but the incident controlled by Kim Zhengqing was true, and the king of Joseon had indeed been forced to become a vassal state of Hulu in recent years, and he had done a lot of funding.

He hurriedly knelt down and said: "The small soldiers of the Korean country are poor, and tens of thousands of thieves have come to attack many times, and even the two sons have been plundered by the captives, and my king has no choice but to deal with it, lose some of his population and food money to survive, and hope that Your Majesty will see ......."

Jin Zhengqing sneered: "If the enemy is strong, he will vote, and if the master is weak, he will go, this is rebellion!" You're still arguing with yourself?! ”

Li Xingli was speechless for a while, and the deputy envoy next to him, Jin Lian, hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at Jin Zhengqing and said: "Even if you say it wildly, my king is the canonized monarch of the Celestial Empire!" Li Ying is a minister and a king, but he is guilty of rebellion! ”

This is also the card at the bottom of his box, and he only hopes that the great tomorrow will take into account the orthodoxy of the throne and the rule of the monarch and ministers, and can help suppress Li Ying.

However, Zhu Linmi, as a person of later generations, does not care about the ethics of feudal monarchs and ministers at all, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not rebel, what difference does it make who is the king of North Korea? Whoever ascends to the throne is beneficial to Daming, and he will not hesitate to support whom.

However, Xu Erlu and Honglu Temple and other Ming officials were people who received the ideological education of Zhongjun since childhood, and they very much agreed with what Jin Lian said. Li Xingli caught a glimpse of their expressions, and when he pounced, hugged Xu Shangshu's thigh tightly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiaobang has always belonged to the Heavenly Empire, even if he makes a mistake, he will be heartbroken and completely changed in the future, and I ask Lord Xu to ...... for Xiaobang."

Kim Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that who wouldn't pretend to be pitiful? He immediately slid out four feet on his knees, stuffed his head between Li Guangchun's ankles, and cried loudly, "Renxingjun can't bear to rebel and bully the kingdom, Fang Xingyi begged for it, and his mind was that Korea should be loyal to the Celestial Empire, and all the killings were thieves and traitors, Lord Li ......"

Xu Erlu and Li Guangchun glanced at each other helplessly, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this ......"

Zhu Linmiao was still "interested" to watch the two sides pinching each other, but at this time, seeing that the two of them were going to get involved, she was afraid that they would talk about bad things, so she had to cough lightly and said, "Cough, that, stop a little, Lord Xu and Lord Li's court clothes are very expensive, don't wipe your nose and tears." ”

When the Son of Heaven spoke, the two Koreans who were crying hurriedly let go of their hands, knelt down respectfully, and listened to the hadith.

Zhu Linmiao looked at Li Xingli first, "Li Liang is indeed the king of Joseon canonized by the Ming Dynasty, but what he has done over the years is chilling." ”

Li Xingli was frightened, the war on his side is not going well at the moment, and he can support the appeal of the Korean monarch who was crowned by the Ming Dynasty, if he doesn't even have this, then he will inevitably betray his relatives immediately.

"Your Majesty Mingjian," he began to wipe his tears again, "Hu Lu is powerful, and my king is really forced to do so, but now he has deeply reflected on his mistakes, and he will destroy the Hu Lu Golden Book on the same day, and only serve the Heavenly Empire as his father, and swear to fight to the death with Hu Lu!" ”

If he had died more than half a year ago, he would never have dared to say so. However, with the recent victory of the Ming Dynasty and the recapture of the old capital of Nanjing, the drastic changes in the Central Plains, coupled with the exchange of two Korean princes by Li Liang's naval division, and the threat of Li Ying's rebellion, he has made up his mind to draw a clear line with the Manchus again.

Jin Zhengqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his rhetoric, Li Liang has been colluding with Hu Lu for a long time, how can he easily change his ways?!" ”

Zhu Linmiao obeyed the advice, and said to Li Xingli with a straight face: "Yes, how do I know if your king is sincere?" ”

"My king's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon......"

Zhu Linmiao waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Don't talk about these nonsense, just say that Li Liang sent troops to aid the prisoners several times before, the Battle of Phi Dao and the Battle of Songjin, more than 10,000 Korean soldiers participated in the battle, and there were many Ming soldiers who killed me!" ”

Li Xingli sweated like rain, blood came out of his forehead, and he cried: "That is all forced by Hu Lu, please forgive Your Majesty......"

"Alright, stop crying." Zhu Linmiao waved his hand and said considerately, "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, but correcting mistakes can't just be lip service, but must fall on actual actions." ”

Li Xingli was pardoned, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to teach." ”

"I don't feel embarrassed by Li Liang. In recent years, he sent more than 10,000 troops for the deployment of the captives, and now our dynasty is fighting with the captives, if he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he will double the force to Nanjing, with my army together to attack the captives. ”

Li Xingli said in his heart that this is not difficult? North Korea has aided tens of thousands of horses, and doubling the number of troops is at least 20,000! Mo said that at present, the imperial court is fighting fiercely with Li Ying's rebels, which is the Chengping period, and so many people are transferred to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no soldiers in North Korea who can even find soldiers to arrest thieves.

He had to beg bitterly: "Your Majesty is gracious, if there is no Li Ying's rebellion, North Korea can still transfer more than 10,000 people, but it can't draw so many troops at the moment......"

Jin Zhengqing snickered in his heart, Daming has made conditions, and Li Xingli, a fool, dares to refuse?

He immediately fell down to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Renxingjun is the most loyal person to the country, and he is willing to send two thousand elite soldiers to the south to help in the war." When the siege of Seoul is broken and the traitors are captured, tens of thousands of horses will be lost for the dispatch of the motherland! "The rebels on the left and right are stronger, and they can barely afford to draw out 2,000 men.

Eh, on the road! Zhu Linmiao immediately praised and said, "Good! Renxingjun is loyal and good, it seems," he glanced at Li Xingli meaningfully, "most of what he did was indeed Kuang Zheng's rebellion......"

Li Xingli was so frightened that he cried again and paused desperately, "Your Majesty Mingjian, North Korea is really powerless at the moment......" He glanced at Jin Zhengqing fiercely, turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "My king can first transfer a thousand imperial camps into the Ming Dynasty, just wait for the rebellion to be quelled, and he will send 20,000 troops to pacify the captives!" ”

"Well, the Korean imperial camp should be quite combat-ready." Zhu Linmiao nodded with "satisfaction", and glanced at Jin Zhengqing again, "It's comparable to an ordinary two thousand people." ”

Kim Jong-kyung said in his heart, I only hope that the great tomorrow can canonize the lord or declare Li Ju a rebel, and the lord will be able to unify North Korea.

He immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the little minister, Renxing Jun is willing to send another 3,000 people to listen to the army!" ”

In the seventeenth century, when the level of science and technology was low, transportation, road paving, and fortification construction were indispensable to levy a large number of people, but in order to avoid too much injury to the people, a rotation system was adopted, and each household served three or four months of labor. And North Korea sent 3,000 people to come, which is "full-time" labor, which can save at least 7,000 or 8,000 laborers of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "It's still Renxing Jun Shi Zhong." ”

Li Xingli hated it so much that he had to "follow the cards", "My king will send 4,000 people to be strong!" "Although the war was unfavorable, Li Liang controlled Seoul, and there were many ordinary laborers.

In order to resolve the passive situation, Jin Lian continued: "The food and rice consumption of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty are all supplied by North Korea. ”

Kim Zhengqing immediately increased, "Renxingjun is willing to take on all the soldiers and strength." ”

"My king has another 15,000 taels of military salary!"

"Renxingjun offers 20,000 silver labor troops!"

"My king sent another sailor warship south!"
