Chapter 87: Joint Operations Command Committee
Zhu Cihong quietly watched the reaction of the North Koreans present and captured a key point. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although many North Korean ministers are quite excited. However, the reactions of Li Kangzong, Li Hao, Cui Mingji, and Fenglin Dajun Li Yuhao were not satisfactory.
Although several people also looked like they were grateful, they obviously ...... They weren't as excited as they thought.
What's more......
They did not immediately announce that they were seeking to join. This is a bit of a cold scene.
"Do you have any doubts in your hearts?" Zhu Cihong directly picked up the topic.
Li Yanzong looked like he was awakened, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wang is just worried...... In this way, I am afraid that it will be in vain to waste a lot of money and gain nothing. In the long run, it will be harmful to the kingdom, so Xiao Wang is uneasy. ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and understood.
Li Kangzong's words were very tactful, and of course, his words were also very beautiful. looks like he is completely considered for you, he is worthy of being a top person, and his IQ and EQ are first-class.
Although they are all words intended for the Ming Dynasty, this is actually just a means to enhance the persuasiveness.
Li Kangzong understands very well, and he is also very aware of a core principle of this world: there is no white pie in the world.
Just like the Ming Dynasty and North Korea before.
Although the Ming Dynasty was willing to enter Korea with the strength of the whole country to fight against the Japanese invaders. But that was the result of hundreds of years of perseverance and sincere efforts by North Korea to maintain good relations.
For a long time, North Korea frequently paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, asking for silver for silver, asking people to give people, and even the emperor wanted playthings such as Haidongqing, and it didn't hurt to give them. Although the Ming Dynasty also frequently gave back and did not let North Korea suffer. But obviously, such a tribute for hundreds of years is an act of being a grandson, which greatly satisfies the vanity of the Celestial Empire.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese invaders dared to invade North Korea, which was certainly an attack on North Korea, but it was also a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty. Dog beating still depends on the owner, not to mention the entanglement of interests between countries?
At the moment, the military alliance is clearly a step closer to tying the Ming Dynasty to North Korea.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for North Korea, which makes Li Kangzong and other North Koreans happy. This means that if there is another thing such as Japan's invasion, then there is no need to worry about begging for help from the Ming Dynasty, for fear that the Ming Dynasty will leave it alone.
In addition to diplomatic integrity, the Ming Dynasty is still quite reputable to North Korea, which is also a member of the Confucian civilization circle. Unless it is like Jiannu raging and taking care of himself, Daming will never let go.
But...... Such a gift will obviously not be free.
Dignity, North Korea has already paid. Obviously, it is impossible to sell it twice, not to mention that with Zhu Cihong's pragmatism, I am afraid that he will not just buy a vanity, and maybe even openly elevate the international status of the DPRK and seek more practical benefits.
"That's right. I thought about it, in order to avoid the precedent of such a sudden attack as the previous Imjin War. As mentioned in the introduction, I intend to expand the armies in the DPRK to fulfill the obligations of the alliance. Of course, it is also as worried by Fang Caiqing's family. In the meantime, the DPRK needs to pay for the military expenses it needs. The specific share and form will be discussed in detail by someone from the household department and the military department. Zhu Cihong said, and saw Da Ming's side get up, and the two saluted everyone present. The casual two are obviously assigned by the division.
Li Qianzong nodded with joy on his face, and named the names of several North Korean officials in a row, and said, "These are the judgments of Bingcao and Hucao." I would like to ask a few adults to talk more about it. ”
Gao Mingheng smiled, looked at Zhu Cihong and glanced at each other, all of them understood. It seems that Li Qianzong is not disgusted by this.
After Li Hao listened, he felt a shake in his hand, and the pen he was playing with was also a little unfavorable. This is a gift from Zhu Cihong, and as the prince, Li Hao also received this gift. He couldn't put it down, and he had taken a lot of notes along the way. At this time, he took on the role of meeting recorder, but at the moment, he didn't have the heart to write down a word.
If the Ming Dynasty is allowed to garrison North Korea, it can certainly protect North Korea. But on the other hand, it also deepens the control of North Korea!
"Since ancient times, there have been exchanges of rites...... The DPRK is also sincere, and if there is an opportunity, it is willing to serve the Chinese Alliance. Li Hao smiled.
Although he understands that the garrison of the Ming Dynasty is almost useless, it cannot shake the empire at all. But Li Hao still said it a little sinisterly.
"I've thought about that, too." Zhu Cihong pondered for a while and said, "But in view of the current military situation of the Korean State, I am very worried. In wartime, it will be difficult to adapt to the current war situation. Not to mention, just like in the north, there is a big country called Rakshasa, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions, and the ice has reached the area of Nuer Gandusi. They were armed with firearms and forts, which were by no means something that could be dealt with by archers and horses. Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Hao, and said with a smile: "So, I plan to assist the Qing family in training Korean soldiers and horses." At the same time, a joint operational command committee was formed. With me personally serving as the main general, I will definitely create a strong army for our Chinese Alliance to dominate the world! ”
As soon as Zhu Cihong's words fell, he saw Li Hao snap and the pen fell to the ground.
However, almost everyone present was shocked by Zhu Cihong's ambition and the amount of information revealed.
Especially Li Kangzong, he fell into deep thought, he took a deep breath and thought hard.
Zhu Cihong......
This is for military power.
But Zhu Cihong's words are also completely blameless, and they are obviously the result of careful consideration.
After all, anyone who thinks about it knows the fact that North Korea's military is weak today. Zhu Cihong was willing to go to great lengths to help North Korea train soldiers and horses and invest resources, which was the responsibility of the suzerainty and the leader of the China Alliance. The conscientious suzerain, that is obviously the existence of touching and repaying gratitude.
It's just that......
As soon as this Joint Operations Command Committee came out, it meant that military power would change hands from now on.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor has stood up to be the main general, who else is qualified to fight? Not to mention the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, let's just say that the world's famous generals are in command, who can beat Zhu Cihong?
In just five years, he calmed down internal and external troubles, and such an achievement can almost be called a saint from heaven.
Such a commander as the main general, no matter who thinks about it, is very convinced.
As a result, the North Koreans are left with only two options.
Yes, or not.
Whether the Chinese Alliance joins or not, and whether the military power of the DPRK army under the Joint Operations Command Committee is given or not.
Whether it is a pretense of huge expenses or a pretense of being unbearable, it will no longer work.
Li Hao's heart was sinking, he looked at his father's expression, and felt that something was getting out of his control.
King Yi Kyunjong of Joseon...... What the hell are you thinking?
