Chapter 19: The Ambition of the Son
The origin of raw silk is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. From this point www.biquge.info of view, Suzhou, Songjiang, and even Ningbo and Hangzhou are far more convenient than Fujian.
However, considering the delicate nature of Sino-Japanese relations, Zhu Cihong did not intend to fully resume trade with Japan just like pie in the sky. Even the expedition company, in fact, like most maritime merchants, went to Taiwan in the name of going to Nanyang to trade, and then switched to Japan to do business, in fact, it is still a bit of a gray background. Of course, Zu Dashou, who presided over the expeditionary company, was well-informed, and knew in his heart that Zhu Cihong had already planned to resume trade with Japan, so he had the courage to do so.
Japan has been begging for nearly a hundred years and still can't get something, if it is simply and easily given, it is equivalent to losing a king bomb at the beginning, and no one will do it except for stupidity.
Against this background, Zhu Cihong set his sights on North Korea.
……
"Shizi! The request of the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop is too presumptuous! An old man said in a deep voice, and it was a pity that his tone stood up.
Li Yuhao looked at the old man, his face was slightly confused.
On the side, another younger official said in a low voice: "Lord Cui, the prince is also worried about the country's situation. ”
"The prince's worries, the old minister understands. But it was proposed too early at this time, which obviously made Daming Shangguan realize the problem. This somewhat prematurely betrays our intentions. His Majesty the Emperor must have been aware of this, and with the Ming Dynasty's well-informed, he would soon be able to understand the situation in Korea today. In this case, we will lose the opportunity. "This old man is obviously Cui Mingji.
Cui Mingji was a former Korean minister, and later because he shielded Lin Qingye against the Qing Dynasty and helped Ming, he was attacked by Jiannu from a high-ranking official in North Korea to a prisoner of Jiannu. If it weren't for Zhu Cihong's later rain attack on Shengjing, Cui Mingji and Li Yuhao escaped from Ascension together, I am afraid there would be no chance to continue to live and speak here.
Although Choi Myung-gil returned to North Korea with the prince of Fenglin, Lee Um-ho, for Choi Myung-gil, the previously vacant position has already been filled. Although Cui Mingji is highly respected, he only got a false position. In the end, Cui Mingji and Li Yuhao got closer and closer, and they have become a figure like a military adviser and think tank around Li Yuhao, and they are also deeply trusted by Li Yuhao.
As for the younger one, it is obviously Yao Yu, Li Yuhao's confidant.
With Yao Yu's help to alleviate the embarrassment, Li Yuhao also slowly opened his mouth and said, "How can I not understand, but I don't want to wait for me." When I heard that my brother was also starting to act, I had to make a plan ahead of time. People all over the world say that the Great Ming Fire is sharp, and it is actually a magic weapon that reverses the fortunes of the country. This is a rare opportunity, His Majesty the Ming Emperor has ......"
"Shizi, shut up!" Cui Mingji and Yaohe opened their mouths almost at the same time, and the two of them glanced left and right urgently, and saw that no one was peeping, so they were relieved.
"His Majesty the Emperor is coming to North Korea, and he has only revealed one or two things to the old man. But if the son of the world speaks, I am afraid that this will be ...... It doesn't work. Cui Mingji said eagerly: "What's more, Your Majesty is in Beijing, and the state affairs are heavy, if it is an extremely important matter, how can you even make heavy moves such as the State Affairs Hall?" Is it really just planning to go sightseeing? ”
Yao Yu seemed to have guessed something, and slowly shook his head and said, "Shizi." As for the rumors about the scandal that His Majesty the Emperor met in North Korea back then, it is impossible to count. ”
The Ming Dynasty also had a special relationship with North Korea, that is, among the emperors and concubines of previous dynasties, the faces of Koreans could often be seen. If you want to talk about history, you can even go back to the time of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
But obviously, Zhu Cihong is not the one who abandons the country for the sake of beauty.
"What's that for? Isn't it...... This time, my brother also said that he was moved? Li Yuhao frowned and said, but soon couldn't help shaking his head and refused: "No, if that's the case, it won't be me who comes back to Daming this time." That's amazing......"
"No matter what His Majesty the Emperor thinks, this is an opportunity for us after all, and it is a rare opportunity. Perhaps, the revival of North Korea could begin here. Shizi, you must pay attention to your words and deeds these days, don't Meng Lang lose the opportunity! Cui Mingji earnestly instructed, and said: "Zhaoxian Shizi has been in the hands of Jiannu for a long time, and his eyes are clear and strong, and he can't open his eyes when he returns to North Korea." But you can't Meng Lang anymore......"
There was a slight impatient look in Li Yuhao's eyes, but he still bowed: "Master Cui rest assured, he is alone in Beijing, and he has seen the great achievements of the Ming Emperor's expedition to break Shengjing, how can he not know the strength of the Ming Dynasty." Lonely understands, lonely understands. ”
Cui Mingji has gone through all the ups and downs, how can he not see Li Yuhao's hidden perfunctory color, and sighed in his heart.
Of course, Li Hao understands the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but he also feels that the reason why the Ming Dynasty is powerful is only because of the sharp guns, as long as this is obtained, North Korea can also be strong.
In 1650, the Joseon ruled by Li Yuhao had high hopes for the anti-Qing forces such as the Southern Ming regime, Wu Sangui and the three feudatories, Taiwan's Zheng Chenggong, and the Dzungar Mongols, and was ready to send envoys to cross the sea to contact and plan to attack the Qing Dynasty.
Li Yuhao will do this, except for repaying the grace of Emperor Damyeongshenzong for rebuilding in Korea, there is no other person who can take his place.
It's a pity that there is obviously no opportunity for North Korea to covet the world in today's world. Cui Mingji thought about it repeatedly, but he didn't know what Li Hao was thinking about so eagerly wanting to obtain advanced weapons.
……
Seven days later, in the 278th year of the Ming Dynasty, that is, on February 13, 1646 AD, a grand ceremony was held in Beijing.
Located on the Temple of Heaven in the south of the city, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and other yamen have been busy for more than a month.
Li Yuhao was invited to go, and along the way, Ding Kun, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, accompanied him all the way, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
As the name suggests, the Victory Ceremony is a ceremony to display the spoils of war.
Because most of the leaders of Jiannu died, and when the verdict was pronounced, it was not easy to hold the prisoner ceremony, but the opportunity to display the spoils was enough.
The trophies transported from Shengjing and Hetuara in Liaodong were cart after cart, boat after boat.
In the Temple of Heaven, a new building was also erected, and it was crowded with people, all of whom came and went to watch the ceremony.
Li Yuhao followed the crowd in, all dressed in civilian clothes, and no one recognized them. Straight inside, several people quickly stopped in front of the door.
In the field, there were many people like them, looking at the things in front of them in a daze.
There, there's something that almost everyone has ever heard of.
"This is the thirteen pairs of armor that Jiannu raised to raise troops, can't you?" Li Yuhao couldn't help but ask.
