lied to Kangxi

Chapter 1029

To be honest, the ministers of North Korea, because of their admiration for Ming Dynasty, all of them have a strong foundation in Sinology.

If Cui Zhenghao knew that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty had personally conscripted, he would definitely have guessed the annexation of the Chinese Empire.

The Ming Dynasty listed North Korea as a country not subject to conquest.The Qing Dynasty only hurt North Korea, but did not annex it.

Because the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have a strategic vision.

If North Korea falls into the enemy's hands, the enemy will come across the sea.

Judging from the concept of establishing a country by the sea, North Korea is a must-win place!

If North Korea is here, North China will be safe, and the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea will become inner lakes.

If Japan is here, China will be safe, and the East China Sea will become an inner lake.

Eating North Korea is a strategic decision, and it has nothing to do with North Koreans messing with Yuzhu.

As the founding emperor of the Huaxia Empire, Yuzhu has both the ability and the obligation to shape the borders strategically.

Central Asia, which goes west from the Western Regions, does not have much strategic interest. Instead, the strategic supply line is lengthened, and the maintenance cost is extremely huge.

North Korea and Japan are different. They are both farming civilizations with tens of millions of people.

Not to mention anything else, when the time is right, when the human population is abolished within the Huaxia Empire, there will be fresh slaves and Japanese slaves who can replace them!

The army stayed in Dengzhou Prefecture for more than ten days.

It wasn't until Cui Zhenghao jumped in a hurry and promised to supply all the food and expenses of the army, that Yuzhu gave the order: cross the sea and go east.

Due to the smooth flow of wind and water, it only took ten days for the army to cross the East China Sea and arrive at Jianghua Island smoothly.

Ganghwa Island and the capital of Korea, Seoul, are separated by the Ganghwa Strait two miles away, so the geographical location is very important.

The hydrological conditions of the Ganghwa Strait are complex, with large tidal drop and many hidden reefs. Therefore, the Korean monarchs often avoid this place when encountering the invasion of the northern peoples.

As early as more than ten years ago, when Yuzhu led an army to conquer the Raksha people, he had already arrived at Jianghua Island.

North Korea's Zuo Yizheng Jiang Bin personally went to the pier of Jianghua Island to welcome the arrival of the Chinese army.

After the grand welcome ceremony, Jiang Bin met Cui Zhenghao.

"What? Are you crazy? Since ancient times, all the expenses of the so-called reinforcements from the Shang Kingdom have been borne by them!" Jiang Bin was furious when he learned that North Korea was responsible for the food and salaries.

"Cui Jun, you wait for the impeachment!" Jiang Bin walked away furiously.

"Jiang Gong, Jiang Gong, listen to my explanation..." Cui Zhenghao didn't dare to let Jiang Bin go, and quickly grabbed his sleeve.

Jiang Bin's status in North Korea is equivalent to that of a cabinet scholar in the former Ming Dynasty, but not the chief minister. The chief minister of the North Korean cabinet is the leader of the government.

Sungkyunkwan Dati Xuezheng Fang, who accompanied him to greet him, said coldly: "Cui Jun, you are too hasty. I want to use the reinforcements from Shangguo, isn't it just the three words of avoiding expenses?"

Zheng Fang's meaning was very clear, he just wanted to take advantage of the Heavenly Dynasty, but he didn't want any financial burden.

In North Korea, Sungkyunkwan Datixue is the official of the second rank, the same rank as Liucao, and he is a proper important minister, who has a right to speak in the court.

The six Caos are equivalent to the six ministries under the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty, and the highest official corresponding to the monk's book is the verdict.

No matter what Cui Zhenghao explained, Jiang Bin and Zheng Fang couldn't listen.

"Hmph, why is that so unreasonable?" Jiang Bin winked at Zheng Fang, and walked away.

Zheng Fang sighed and said: "Cui Jun, our country respects the Celestial Empire as the supreme country, so there must be benefits to be gained, right?"

"Besides, apart from Meng Yuan, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, didn't they all bring their own dry food and food allowance?" After all, Zheng Fang was a high-ranking member of North Korea, and he deliberately emphasized the tradition.

To put it bluntly, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Korean Kingdom was so used to not knowing what the surname was.

However, what Zheng Fang said was indeed well-founded.

For example, during one of the three major campaigns in Wanli to fight against the Japanese and aid the Korean Empire, Li Rusong led troops to aid the Korean Dynasty, bringing his own dry food and military pay, and finally drove away the Japanese pirates.

At that time, the Koreans not only restored the three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains left by their ancestors, but also did not spend a few taels of silver. It can be said that they made a lot of money.

With the deep memory of that time, the officials of the Korean Kingdom, from top to bottom, have the bad habit of eating for nothing.

Zheng Fang and Cui Zhenghao conspired together to deal with the Kingdom of Heaven.

As for Yuzhu, she stayed in the cabin calmly, enjoying Chen Qiongbao's massage service, and at the same time ordered Lu Wu to find all kinds of excuses to stay in Jianghua Island.

In the history of North Korea, the Li Linzuo Rebellion lasted for three years.Among them, at a time of danger, he almost captured Seoul and ended Lee's rule in North Korea ahead of schedule.

Yu Zhu was not in a hurry at all, even if North Korea crushed the Li Linzuo Rebellion, it would only take a day at best for him to send troops from Ganghwa Island to Seoul.

All eight provinces in North Korea, even Gangwon-do, which has the most dangerous terrain, can land and attack from the water, and the logistics supply is extremely convenient.

To put it bluntly, when attacking from land, one must consider the problem of rugged mountain roads and difficulty in resupply.

If the whole process is transported by sea, the entire territory of North Korea will be under Yuzhu's troops.

In war, what is fought is logistics.As long as the logistics are in order, with the comprehensive national strength of the Huaxia Empire, they can fight for as long as they really want.

To be honest, transporting logistics materials across the sea from Dengzhou to Jianghua Island saves at least [-] times the cost of logistics transportation compared to the west to conquer Junggar.

According to the agreement, after the army of the Celestial Dynasty arrived at Jianghua Island, they should receive the food and military pay provided by North Korea.

However, the army has been there for three days, but they have not seen a grain of grain or a tael of silver.

Yuzhu, who was worried that he had no excuse, was just about to doze off, but he encountered a pillow and simply stayed on Ganghwa Island.

The kings and ministers of North Korea have never seen such ungenerous and generous Chinese soldiers, and they are all dumbfounded.

The two sides shouted in secret, Cui Zhenghao, the envoy who signed the agreement, got angry with the mouse in the bellows on both sides!

As the saying goes, who dare not bow their heads under the eaves?

In particular, the North Korean Imperial Guards, after suffering a huge defeat in Jeolla Province, quickly sent people to deliver 50 taels of silver to Lu Wu, plus [-] shi of grain.

Such a small amount was not enough for jade pillars to fit between his teeth, so he naturally couldn't send troops.

As a result, after the North Koreans handed over 300 million taels of silver and 20 shi of military rations, Yuzhu was satisfied and gave the order to send troops to Chungcheongdo.

There is a reason why North Koreans have suddenly become generous.

After Li Linzuo won the battle in Jeolla Province, he immediately led his army northward, and Yu Chungcheong Province defeated the main force of the North Korean forbidden army with 3 people again.

As we all know, Chungcheong-do is next to Gyeonggi-do, which is very close to Seoul.

The rebel army is about to come to Seoul, so the North Korean monarchs and ministers have become extraordinarily hospitable, generous and generous.
