How could you let yourself go so easily?

Did he not regard himself as an opponent, or was he simply showing off to his father?

"Is it possible that His Highness Taisun really wants to guard the Japanese country and educate foreigners?"

Li Jinglong said after hesitating.

The so-called authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear.

Judging from His Highness Taisun's actions before and after the capital, Li Jinglong really didn't feel that he had any feelings for King Yan.

After all, in the palace, even with Zhu Yunqi now occupying the East Palace, His Highness Taisun did not express any other too strong meaning.

Moving into the East Palace is a normal behavior for His Highness the Grand Sun, and there is nothing wrong with it in terms of status and justice.

If you pretend to be like this, considering His Highness Taisun's intelligence, there is really no need.

The only explanation is that His Highness Taisun really didn't take the East Palace seriously.

Showing sympathy to military veterans can be said to gain prestige in the military.

Not everyone would think of giving breakfast to all the officials at the Meridian Gate in the morning.

Throughout the ages, even the wisest kings have never acted like this. Only those who sincerely consider the officials can do this.

From this point of view, Li Jinglong really does not feel the cruelty of His Highness Taisun, but only benevolence, justice and kindness.

"The assassination plot has something to do with me. I don't even bother to do such a stupid thing."

Zhu Di snorted coldly and answered the question incorrectly.

In fact, in Zhu Di's heart, he already felt that Zhu Ying did not deliberately suppress him.

But now this feeling has the meaning of being driven by Zhu Ying.

By the way, Zhu Ying is the grandson and will succeed to the throne in the future.

As a vassal king, he is a monarch and a minister. Even if he is a forward general, it is in line with the law.

"I really hope to go to Japan to fight against Japan earlier. I don't want to stay in this capital for a long time. Jinglong, are there any outstanding students recently who are willing to accompany me to Japan?"

Zhu Di added.

Now he was feeling a little confused and unhappy, so he wanted to find a place to vent his anger.

Now it seems that conquering the Japanese country is the best way for him to vent his anger.

Thinking of the Japanese pirates in the Japanese country, a cold look flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

When Li Jinglong heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, cousin. I have contacted many friends, and all of them have expressed their willingness to work for my cousin. Many people have also contacted their friends back home and are willing to recommend them."

"It would be good to have at least a hundred people accompanying you."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with joy.

He knew that Li Jinglong had a good reputation among literati, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. In just a short time, there were already a hundred people.

At least, if I go to the Japanese country, I can gather a hundred officials, so there won't be no one available.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jinglong. I'd like to take this glass to Jinglong."

Zhu Di raised his glass and said,

Li Jinglong also picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink together!"

The two drank it all in one gulp, and Li Jinglong continued: "It is not due to my nephew's credit. Nowadays, there are many students in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial examination is difficult. There are also rumors that the imperial examination will be greatly changed, and the Hanlin Academy is compiling new classics."

"Students study hard in a cold window. How can they be willing to do so once all their hard work on reform is wasted?"

"The future is uncertain, and my cousin's reputation and prestige are remarkable. He has his own merits, and the leader is invincible and invincible in every battle."

"Everyone knows how a mere Japanese can be my cousin's opponent. When the vassal state was first established, it was a time when talents were scarce. Go there early and become a senior official."

Listening to Li Jinglong's words, Zhu Di's face gradually lit up with joy.

He has always been very confident in fighting against Japan, and now has hundreds of literati accompanying him, so he doesn't have to worry about having no one available.

I just hope to get there soon, by then.

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

There is no need to spend time hesitating in this capital anymore.

"In three more months, it will be time to conquer the Japanese country. Just bear with it for another three months."

Thinking of this, Zhu Di drank all the wine in the glass again to relieve his sorrow.

...

At this time, changes were happening in Korea.

In addition to November, the weather near Goryeo has become cold, and the army officers and soldiers have begun to warm themselves with bonfires.

"Guardian, there is news from Tsushima Island. Due to the conquest of the Japanese mainland, heavy losses were suffered. Currently, 30,000 of the 80,000-strong army have been destroyed."

"But the Japanese side is not having a good time either. There are about 20,000 casualties."

Busan, in the military camp Dazhai, Wei Guang reported to Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect these Korean troops to have such a record.

In the past, Goryeo was always the target of being beaten by the Japanese. Often thousands of Japanese pirates dared to attack Goryeo's tens of thousands of troops.

Although the damage is not one to one now, it is still extremely good.

"You didn't lie about the military situation, did you?" Yao Guangxiao asked.

Wei Guang shook his head and said: "It should be about the same. The spies over there have also secretly received news, and the harvest is quite rich. I think they can barely survive the winter."

After a slight hesitation, Wei Guang continued: "The spy sent a message and it seems that the generals are preparing to launch another invasion before the cold winter comes."

Yao Guangxiao was not surprised at all, and said: "If we fight again this time, we can plunder enough food and reduce the number of soldiers, so we can survive the severe winter steadily. If we think about this, we must start a fight."

When Wei Guang heard this, he thought about it and asked, "National Master, should we also participate or send some more soldiers there?"

"Now the army is somewhat short of food. His Highness Taisun's plan was obstructed by others, and now there is no one to transport food."

At this point, Wei Guang became a little angry.

Originally, the food was being transported in a steady stream, plus the army's own collection, which was enough to survive the winter safely and lead to the beginning of spring next year.

However, on the border of the Ming Dynasty, there was a sudden rumor that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the grandson of the Ming Emperor and was secretly investigating the situation outside the Ming Dynasty, mostly in a detailed manner.

As a result, both the native Goryeo people and other tribes began to change their attitudes.

The most important thing is that no one is sending food to the national army in Busan.

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly, but his expression was still calm.

At his age, nothing can disturb his state of mind.

"Send a message to the King of Goryeo, and also to General Li Chenggui, asking them to deliver enough food."

Yao Guangxiao said calmly.

"this...."

Wei Guang paused for a moment and then said, "Master, I'm afraid Li Chenggui won't agree."

Yao Guangxiao led hundreds of thousands of troops to the coast of Busan. In a sense, he had already wiped out all the members of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce here.

It also allows the real contradiction to be directly exposed.

Although he did not openly fall out with Li Chenggui, it is conceivable that Li Chenggui would not be stupid enough to return the food.

Even if most of the 100,000-strong army starved to death, Li Chenggui would only clap his hands and laugh, gloating about his misfortune and getting what he wanted.

He was eager to take these armies into his own possession in one fell swoop.

Take complete control of Korea.

As for the King of Korea on the surface, he was just a puppet, and Wei Guang didn't even bother to mention it.

Yao Guangxiao was asked to deliver the message to the King of Korea, but it was customary. After all, as a Han Chinese, Yao Guangxiao paid more attention to justice.

"How long will the surplus food in our army last?" Yao Guangxiao asked calmly.

Wei Guang made some calculations in his mind and said: "If I save some food, I can probably survive for more than a month, and it will not be difficult to make it over 10,000 yuan."

Yao Guangxiao heard this and replied: "On the Zhengdan Festival, the whole country should celebrate together, how can we treat the soldiers badly? Doesn't this chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

"Just write the letter from the King of Goryeo as normal. As for Li Chenggui, tell him clearly in the letter that if there is no food, the poor monk will have no choice but to go back and go to General Li's place for a meal today.

It’s New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Hearing this, Wei Guang suddenly became enlightened.

He laughed and said: "Okay, what the Imperial Master said is very good. Li Chenggui, an old boy, still wants to wait to watch the show. He is really just dreaming."

"If they don't bring us food, we will go to the royal city and get it ourselves."

"It's just a small open capital, someone can break it at will."

"Let the soldiers go and deliver the message now."
