lied to Kangxi

Chapter 1028

Cui Zhenghao, the envoy of North Korea, was so anxious that he jumped on his feet, wishing that the army of the Celestial Dynasty would cross the sea immediately to save North Korea, which was in dire straits.

In history, there is no end to the history of the Celestial Dynasty helping North Korea to stabilize the country.

Not to mention anything else, the aid of the Wanli Dynasty in the former Ming Dynasty to fight against the Japanese was tantamount to saving the country of the Li family in North Korea on the edge of a cliff.

When Yuzhu summoned Cui Zhenghao, he said abruptly: "I heard that the Li family of North Korea has been proclaiming the emperor in private, is there such a thing?"

Cui Zhenghao was horrified and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing. Please take a closer look at it."

Yuzhu smiled coldly and said, "Why, dare to do it or not?"

"Your Majesty, how can there be such a rebellious thing that disregards the etiquette of ministers?" Cui Zhenghao refused to admit it to the death.

As long as you admit it, you are committing a serious crime of usurpation!

In fact, when Yuzhu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, North Korea did not send envoys to the capital to congratulate him.

After half a year, North Korea reluctantly sent envoys.

At that time, Yuzhu was too lazy to care about such disrespectful things.Now, the time is ripe, so naturally we have to start some theory.

Since Cui Zhenghao refused to admit his fault, Yuzhu didn't hold on to it and asked casually: "Is Cui the old one or the young one?"

Cui Zhenghao did not dare to speak nonsense, so he could only whisper: "Back to the emperor, I am from the Shaolun sect."

Yuzhu pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that Cui envoy is from the Shaolun sect, no wonder he is so high-spirited!"

In North Korea, after the Shaolun faction came to power through Xin Chou, they pursued the Laolun faction fiercely.

Taking Mu Hulong's complaint as an opportunity, the Shaolun faction created the appalling "Renyin Prison Incident", and more than 60 associates headed by the four ministers of the Laolun faction were basically executed.

Because Jingzong of North Korea had no sons, after Wang Shidi Yanfeng Jun came to the throne, he launched a bloody massacre against the Shaolun sect.

The local Shaolun faction was dissatisfied, and the famous Li Linzuo Rebellion broke out.

In the name of denouncing the crime of killing the king and brother in Yanfeng, Shaolun led by Li Linzuo and a part of the Nanren rebelled brazenly.

Because many people in the Central Forbidden Army of North Korea responded to Li Linzuo, the result was that the entire North Korean country was in chaos.

Yuzhu was not in a hurry to send troops, he just thought that the more chaos in North Korea, the better. Only when North Korea was in chaos, the Celestial Dynasty could take advantage of it.

"I implore the Emperor of Heaven to send out troops as soon as possible to save the people of Korea from fire and water." Cui Zhenghao is a man who is familiar with Han Shu and writes beautifully. He naturally knows that Yuzhu deliberately does not want to send troops immediately.

Although Yuzhu didn't send troops, but the secret work sent to North Korea is still on the way.

Yuzhu was fully aware of the war situation in North Korea.

North Korea's Central Guards haven't fought Li Linzuo yet, so why panic?

After another ten days of delay, Cui Zhenghao got the news of the defeat of the Korean Imperial Army, and hurriedly knelt outside Yuzhu's palace, begging to send out reinforcements immediately.

Yuzhu called Cui Zhenghao into the palace, and said embarrassingly: "I am suffering from disasters everywhere in China, and the income of the imperial court has dropped sharply. I am afraid I have no money to send troops!"

Cui Zhenghao cursed shamelessly in his heart, but he had no choice but to say humbly: "Your Majesty, when your servants came to the heavenly court, the despicable king himself promised that the military expenses of the army during the reign will be borne by the despicable country."

Yuzhu smiled coldly, North Korea's upper and lower are used to free food, and they are used to taking advantage of it. If they weren't forced into a hurry, how could they be so bloody?

During Wanli's war against the Japanese and aiding the Korean Empire, the tens of thousands of Ming troops led by Li Rusong not only brought their own food and grass, but also their own military pay. At most, the Korean state sponsored a few hundred pigs and some wine and food.

There is no way, from Korea to Korea, the Koreans have all spotted the bad habit of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who is very happy.

As long as the envoys say a few flattering words, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty will feel hot, and with a wave of his hand, even the military expenses for sending troops will not be borne by North Korea.

To be honest, looking at the history of the world, only the emperors of the Chinese dynasty were so generous.

However, Emperor Wanli was exceptionally generous to North Korea, but he was very ungenerous to the victims of disasters and starvation in Ming Dynasty.

However, North Korea's good days are coming to an end. Yuzhu is not Wanli, let alone Guangxu. His attitude towards North Korea is four words: complete conquest.

Only by conquering North Korea and using North Korea as a springboard can we successfully land in Japan.

After the Japanese kingdom was collected, the wealthy coastal areas of the entire Chinese Empire had an additional layer of peripheral protection.

By that time, not to mention the East China Sea, even the entire Sea of ​​Japan area will become the inland sea of ​​the Chinese Empire.

Now, since Cui Zhenghao agreed to North Korea's military expenditure, Yuzhu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and agreed to the request to send troops immediately.

In fact, the Imperial Army had already been prepared and was waiting for Yuzhu's order.

Following Yuzhu's order, the soldiers from the first town and the third town boarded a boat from Chongming Island and headed north to Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong.

Due to the northwest wind blowing at sea, the nearest sea route to North Korea is to set sail from Dengzhou. With a favorable wind, you can reach North Korea's Ganghwa Island.

Seeing that the Celestial Dynasty had finally dispatched troops, Cui Zhenghao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, before Cui Zhenghao came to the Huaxia Empire, he got a promise to contribute money and food.Otherwise, God knows what kind of disasters will happen in North Korea after repeated sea trips to ask for instructions?

Due to the headwind, the army set off from Chongming Island and arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture ten days later.

Just from the carrying capacity and sea navigation speed, it can be seen that the northward water transportation using the Grand Canal has reached the end of the road.

A large ship can carry at least more than 3000 tons of supplies and hundreds of soldiers. The transportation efficiency is so high and the transportation cost is so low that it can instantly kill a tanker ship that can only carry a few dozen tons.

However, what Cui Zhenghao didn't expect was that after the army arrived in Dengzhou Mansion, they stayed still again.

Cui Zhenghao hurried to find Lu Wu, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army and the commander of the first town.

Lu Wu spread his hands, and said with a bitter face: "The sea is very stormy, and ten boats have sunk, how dare you act rashly?"

Cui Zhenghao had never heard of the shipwreck, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.

Even though he knew that Lu Wu was telling lies, Cui Zhenghao did not dare to expose the lies. He could only bow his waist and beg Lu Wu to send troops across the sea as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wu frowned and said: "The army has been owed wages for several months, and the morale of the army is extremely unstable. If it is urgent, I am afraid that there may be a mutiny."

Cui Zhenghao almost vomited blood.He had long heard that the imperial army's military pay in the imperial kingdom was not only extremely generous, but was also paid out at the right time, with no precedent for arrears.

Anyway, even if Cui Zhenghao broke his mouth, Lu Wu would not immediately send troops across the sea.

When Cui Zhenghao left dejectedly, Lu Wu went to see Yuzhu and fully reported the situation.

Yu Zhu, who was disguised as an ordinary soldier, couldn't help touching his chin, smiled slightly, and said, "He's in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry!"
