Zhu Xu had a smile hidden in his eyes. He looked at Shang Lian and nodded slightly, saying, "I admire the Prime Minister for his country for such a desire to be a country. Since you can make such a sacrifice, I cannot ignore it. I can promise you that no matter what the cabinet and the Ministry of War plan, the army left in Shuri will definitely not be less than 3,000 people! In addition, I will order the Ministry of War to increase troops in the Satsuma vassal state. If Japan wants to invade Ryukyu, it must first attack the Satsuma vassal state. If the Satsuma vassal state is attacked, our Ming navy will surely rush to help as soon as possible to ensure that Ryukyu is not in danger!"

Although the 3,000 people were a little short, Shang Lian was overjoyed with the Satsuma vassal in front of him and knelt down and said, "I thank His Majesty Yingming Shenwu Emperor for the protection and mercy of my Ryukyu. My Ryukyu will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never change!"

The big rock in Shang Jing's heart slowly landed on the ground, she stood up gently, looked up at Zhu Xu.

This was the first time she had watched the Emperor of Ming Dynasty closely, seriously. This was completely different from what her father said, and she imagined. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was not as decisive, wise, advanced in strategy, and fierce in behavior. Instead, she was indecisive, short-sighted, and indecisive, which disappointed her.

She sighed secretly in her heart, intending to go back and talk to her father, not to let her enter the palace. Her ideal husband is a great man who is good at planning and decisive in her actions. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty in front of her is not worthy of her.

Zhu Xu nodded lukewarmly, turned to look at Li Nai and Li Hui, and said, "What do you think?"

Li Nei and Li Hui looked at each other, and a fine cold sweat appeared on their heads.

This is a dilemma. Now it is placed in front of them. If you go to the country, it is equivalent to the destruction of the country. If you don’t go to the country, it is still a destruction of the country. The only difference is whether North Korea is still in their hands.

Now the Ming Dynasty has an army of 30,000 in Pyongyang and a naval base in Jeju, with a number of 2,000 people. Although I just watched the Ming Dynasty's martial arts exercise today, I knew that the Ming army was disciplined, sharp artillery and extraordinary combat power, but the 30,000 people in North Korea could not stop the more than 100,000 Japanese army! They were still vivid in their minds about the cruelty and ruthlessness of Japan, and they were trembling when they thought about it.

We must never let North Korea fall into the hands of Japan again!

This is what Li Nei and Li Hui said in his heart, but they would not agree until they had to go to the country name.

Li Yu raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if this matter can be discussed after we return to China and give a reply?"

Zhu Xu shook his head decisively and said, "You should know the current situation. The reform of our dynasty will be determined in the next few days. Once it is decided, it will be difficult to change it. The two kings need to make plans early."

Li Yu and Li Hui frowned, but still couldn't make up their minds. Finally, they said together: "Yes, my subordinates will make a decision soon and report it to Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, turned to Zhang Yun and said, "Queen, you can serve the food."

Zhang Yun responded and signaled to the palace maids not far away. The palace maids turned around and immediately came in with plates one by one, placing plates in front of tables. The plates were made by the top chefs of the Ming Dynasty. They were all made of color, fragrance and taste, small and exquisite.

The lobby was filled with the smell of wine and food that made people feel appetite-provoking, and they couldn't help but look at the falling plates.

But soon everyone suppressed their appetite, their throats twitched, their eyes flashed, and they looked at Zhu Xu again.

The two North Korean rulers were full of worries and had no appetite at all. They sat there, frowned and their faces changed.

Khorchin Khan Badali's mentality was relaxed. In his opinion, the current direct threat of the Ming Dynasty was in Chahar, and Japan was nothing. The battle to attack Chahar was imperative!

Chahar's envoy Andashan saw everything that had just happened, and was wondering whether the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from Korea and Ryukyu to conquer them. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty had already heard the news that the final battle on April 1st!

‘I don’t know if Nikru saw the Khan…’ Andashan looked at Zhu Xu, and his heart was as heavy as a mountain.

The Ming army was different from the past. Whether it was firearms or morale, it was really hard to predict the number of victory or defeat.

That is, Shang Lian of Ryukyu, Shang Jing and his daughter have a slightly better expression, and Ryukyu and Satsuma are blocking them. And if the Ming Dynasty garrison does not leave, the combat power and firearms of the Ming army will be enough to protect Ryukyu!

Zhang Yun acted as a means of harmonizing the atmosphere. Just as he was about to speak, the envoy of the Nanzhang stood up in anger and said angrily to Zhu Xu: "Dear Emperor, Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Zhu Xu was generous when he should be generous and said directly, "Please tell me if you are a magnanimous person."

The envoy was tall and very white, with anger in his eyes, and he bent down slightly, and said, "I came to the south quickly and respect the Ming Dynasty without any offense. I wonder why the generals of your country repeatedly invaded, killed my people, and occupied my city?"

Zhu Xu frowned, his face faded, and said, "Is there such a thing? Tell me the name of this person."

The lobby suddenly became quiet, and many people's eyes turned to Dorgon, who was in the lower head. They had been in the capital for many days and had communicated with each other long ago and knew about the Nanzhang.

At the same time, everyone was suspicious in their hearts. Was this matter a Ming Dynasty intending to invade the Nanzhang, or was this general rebellious?

Hard to say!

Everyone's eyes were on the faces of the messenger of the South Palm, Zhu Xu and Dorgon.

Dorgon looked calm and sat there, as if he had never moved from beginning to end, and it was so quiet that it was shocking.

The face of the Southern Palm Envoy was always a condensation, and he was also suspicious in his heart that this was intentional by the Ming Dynasty. He had contacted many officials of the Ming Dynasty before, whether from the Ministry of War or the cabinet, all of them were flickering and refused to tell the truth.

However, he still wanted the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to tell the truth so that Nanzhang could judge what to do next.

The envoy of the Southern Palm raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu, and his mouth moved, and then he said in a deep voice, "Dorgon."

Zhu Xu's eyes immediately looked at Dorgon and said, "Dorgon!"

Dorgon immediately stepped out of the line, knelt on one knee, and said, "Report to the emperor, I have no intention of invading the Nanzhang. The remnants of Annan fled into the Nanzhang and received the Nanzhang to protect it. They could not destroy it. They often threatened the peace and stability of Nanzhang. I have sent letters to Nanzhang many times, asking them not to protect the remnants of Annan and handed over the rebels, but Nanzhang ignored it and I was not allowed to attack them with only one's own troops."

Zhu Xu frowned slightly, turned to the envoy of the Southern Palm, and said in a bad tone: "Is your country protecting Annan's rebellion?"

The face of the messenger of the Southern Palm changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Dorgon took out this excuse and his expression changed.

The relationship between Nanzhang and Annan was extraordinary. Although Annan had long been in name only, it was still closely related to various military towns. This time, the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops and defeated them one by one, which was beyond everyone's expectations. After Nanzhang, Siam and others reacted, Annan had already destroyed the country.

Since their country is not peaceful now, there are chaos everywhere, and the rebels occupy a lot of territory. The one who takes in several "remnants" in Annan is not the King of the Nanzhang at all! But Dorgon doesn't recognize these and just stares at the territory of the Nanzhang king to send troops. It seems that there is a tacit understanding with their domestic rebellion!

The envoy of the Southern Palm could not say anything about this. Seeing Zhu Xu's bad face and his expression changed, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Dear Emperor, Your Majesty, our country has no intention of protecting Annan's rebellion. Please hand it over to my Southern Palm for handling. Your country will quit. Within one year, I will definitely give your Majesty an explanation."

Zhu Xu looked at the envoy for a while and slowly turned to Dorgon and said, "Dorgon, you know the situation in Annan best, what do you say?"

Dorgon knelt down, hesitated for a while, and said, "Emperor, I can stop the army, but Nan'an's probably no peace anymore."

It seems that there is a continuous mountain range between Annan and Nanzhang, which is blocked by the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be bordered until Nanannan. Therefore, Beiannan is peaceful and there is no war.

The envoy of the Southern Palm quickly turned to Dorgon and shouted loudly, "I promise the general that in this way, our country will do its best to deal with the Annan rebels and ensure that they will not cross the border. It will be appropriate within a year. Please rest assured to quit!"

Dorgon opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Zhu Xu waved his hand decisively and said, "Dorgon, since the envoy of the Southern Palm said that, I ordered you to stop the army. In the next year, you will not be allowed to fight with the Southern Palm again!"

The envoy of the Southern Palm was overjoyed. He first raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and then looked at Dorgon.

As the saying goes, county officials are worse than to be in charge. No matter how majestic the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, it depends on the local people in charge of the troops.

Dorgon bowed his head without hesitation and said, "I obey the order!"

The envoy of the Nanzhang was overjoyed and bowed to Zhu Xu, saying, "Thank you, the kind and generous Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I, Nanzhang, wish that the Ming Dynasty will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, wish that the Ming Dynasty will prosper and prosperous in its civilization and prosperity, and that the country will be immortal!"

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It is my unshirkable responsibility to maintain the vassal state. Please sit down. Everyone raises their glasses. Today, I will not return until I am drunk!"

The messenger of the Nanzhang was naturally grateful, holding a wine glass and celebrating Zhu Xu from afar.

The envoy of the Nanzhang believed that the matter had been resolved, and most people also thought that Zhu Xu was fair in handling it. They all raised their glasses with a smile on their faces.

But there were two people with different expressions. One was Korqin Khan Badali, whose eyes were shining brightly and he was filled with joy. The other was Andashan, the envoy of Chahar, who was sweating in cold sweat.

The news that Dorgon came from Shen Yang to attack Chahar. Judging from Badali, this is the Ming Dynasty's decision to attack Chahar! For Andashan, Dorgon escaped, and the Ming Dynasty's attack on Chahar was a foregone conclusion!

April 1st!

Two people, one has a big appetite, the other cannot swallow.

Zhang Yun directed the palace maids to serve the dishes. Seeing that the "government affairs" were over, she began to speak, gave her some things to reconcile the atmosphere in the lobby.

Some of them laughed happily and cooperated, some raised their glasses with difficulty, and drank bitter wine, and some simply forced themselves to laugh and didn't know the taste.

Zhu Xu looked at these people with a smile, his eyes flashing slightly. The envoys and kings of the north, east, south, and west of the Ming Dynasty were the ones occupied by Moxi Mongolia.

The banquet was generally quite successful, starting in harmony and ending in harmony.

The envoys, the king of the country is quite difficult to part with. Looking at Zhu Xu's back as he left, his expression is quite complicated.

The Ming Dynasty now seems to have returned to two hundred years ago. Emperor Chengzu, who was called out to the world, dared not to follow, fight south and north, and follow invincible hands!

In the current Ming Dynasty, although the young emperor seems calm and peaceful, no one is a fool. In addition, the dramatic changes in the Ming Dynasty in less than ten years, who dares to underestimate him?

A group of envoys and kings left one after another with great worries and alcohol. They returned to the room where they were arranged to rest, and they still couldn't sleep well and toss and turn.

Zhu Xu also drank a lot. After Zhang Yun took off her clothes and changed into her regular clothes, she sat on a chair and breathed a long sigh.

Seeing Zhu Xu's face showing fatigue, Zhang Yun came over to rub his shoulders and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have asked someone to cook sober soup. Wait a little longer and you can have a sleep."

Zhu Xu looked ahead and shook his head, "I can't sleep anymore, I have to go back to the palace as soon as possible."

Zhang Yun was stunned. In her opinion, the banquet just now was completely in Zhu Xu's hands, so there should be no problem. Although she was confused, she did not ask, but just rubbed Zhu Xu's shoulders a little hard.

Zhu Xu sat there, still thinking in his heart.

The Ryukyu incident was basically resolved, and it will develop slowly in the future and integrate, but North Korea was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The so-called more than 100,000 troops of Japan gathered in Kyukuni Island, which is naturally an exaggeration. The Ming Dynasty was operating in secret, but in fact it was only 40,000 to 50,000, mainly to suppress the increasingly fierce civil unrest near Shimabara. Among these civil unrest, there are shadows of the Ming Dynasty and the Satsuma clan, so it is more difficult to pacify than in history. The Tokugawa shogunate is mobilizing more troops.

Sooner or later, the purpose of the Tokugawa shogunate will be exposed. North Korea's attitude will definitely change drastically, and this opportunity will be missed.

"It seems that you have to continue to put pressure..." Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself.

At this time, on the official road outside Kunming, there were huge carriages, three or four large horses, two of which were side by side, galloping north.

There were more than thirty soldiers sitting in these carriages. From the equipment and clothing, they were obviously Jiannu’s cavalry.

These carriages ran for miles, unobstructed, and ran at the fastest speed.

The route has been arranged along the way. This is an attempt by the Ministry of War to transport troops, horses and food at a long distance. Because there is a cement road, it is not afraid of mud, and it can be smooth all the way. The stations on the road have already prepared places, horses, foods, etc. to replace and rest.

The troops of the Ministry of War are observing, recording and solving the problems encountered in real time.

This is an attempt, which is very important to the Ming Dynasty, and it also concerns future military arrangements and combat methods. Therefore, even at this time, the Ministry of War and the Cabinet did not miss this opportunity.

At the same time, the emergency nicknames of the six newspapers in the capital were quickly published and quickly distributed to the streets and alleys of the capital.

The court newspaper is quite broad-minded. It starts with the nature of this martial arts exercise, saying that "War is to achieve harmony, martial arts are to defend harmony, martial arts are to protect harmony, martial arts are to promote the Ming Dynasty, to defend peace, and to defend vassal states. The idea is grand and far-reaching, and the argument that "Ming and vassal states are integrated, and the lips are lost, the teeth are cold."

The newspapers of the six ministries talk about the importance of this time from all angles. They shouted the power of the Ming Dynasty and warned the little ones, and expressed their determination to promote the "New Policy".

The cabinet and the six ministries all have their own thoughts and fully express them in the newspaper.

This quickly caused heated discussion in the capital, and the people were naturally excited. The country's prosperity was everyone's wish, and it was passed down by word of mouth and was lively and boiling.
