Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 568 Goryeo’s invasion
Having said this, Zhu Su and Zhu Biao already understood that Lao Zhu had already made up his mind to seal Xu Da.Xu Danian was already so advanced that Zhu Su couldn't bear to let him fight on the grassland for the development of Chinese civilization.But controlling the grassland was indeed a top priority for the Ming Dynasty.At this time, there is really no one more suitable than the famous Xu Da.

"Since my father wants to grant the title of Duke of Wei to the Xu family to open up the grassland, it is time to arrange for someone to take over the affairs of the Longjiang Shipyard." Zhu Su said. "As the eldest son of Duke Wei, Yun Gong should go to the grassland to assist Duke Wei. However, the position of director of the shipyard is also the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. Does dad have a successor?"

"We know that Yungong has built a treasure ship for the Ming Dynasty, and we will always remember such a great achievement." At this point, Lao Zhu paused. "Lao San made it clear to us a few years ago that he does not want to carve out foreign territories and become the founder of the country."

"We are going to send the third child back to take over the Longjiang Shipyard. In a few years, we will let the third child also take charge of the engineering department."

This is preparing for Ming Dynasty's comprehensive technological innovation.Moreover, Zhu Fan was both civil and military, and Lao Zhu wanted Lao San and Lao Wu to be Zhu Biao's right-hand men in the future.

Zhu Biao seemed to have remembered something and asked: "By the way, my father, I once said that the King of Goryeo sent envoys to Liaodong to declare war against the Ming Dynasty... Now that the war in Mobei is over, I wonder how Goryeo will arrange it? "

King Wang You of Goryeo sent an envoy to declare war, which constrained the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty and was unable to go north to confront the Northern Yuan Dynasty. This was once one of the major hidden dangers in the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.Now that Yuan Ting is gone, it’s time to take a look at what Goryeo has done: If you want to fight, you can send a victorious army to attack Goryeo. If you don’t want to fight, how to treat Goryeo at the diplomatic level also requires the Ming Dynasty Center. Let’s set a tone.

"We have received a tip from Korea this morning." Speaking of this, Lao Zhu showed a rare smile with a bit of bad taste. "The [-] Goryeo troops had already retreated before our Ming Dynasty destroyed Yuanting."

"So fast?" Zhu Biao asked.Goryeo was coming with great force, and what Wang Yu said in his letter of war was extremely arrogant.After all, he was the king of a country, and it had only been a few days since he received the news of sending troops, so why did he give in so easily?

Isn't this a slap in the face?

"That guy Wang Yu doesn't know the current affairs, but there are many people in Korea who are aware of the current affairs." Lao Zhu smiled contemptuously. "Attack the Ming Dynasty? Let him borrow the courage of Goryeo!"

……

"Lord Cao Zuodutong, we need to be aware of current affairs!"

Turn the time back to Korea a few months ago.Over there, Goryeo general Li Chenggui reluctantly accepted Wang Yu's order and sent troops to the Ming Dynasty together with a Goryeo general named Cao Minxiu.

The Goryeo Dynasty had reached its final stage at this time, with party disputes in the DPRK and China, and the nobles living in a state of intoxication.Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu both started out in the military. They gained power by fighting against the Red Scarf Army and Japanese pirates, and they were not tolerated by the Goryeo gentry.This time the central government had to send the two Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks to attack the Ming Dynasty. How could they not know what the senior officials were planning?
It is nothing more than fear of the generals' strength and threatening the center.If you can attack Ming, attack them. If you can't attack, you can also get rid of these two generals who are not from the noble clan.

Just like in the past, Zhao and Song Dynasty guarded against generals taking power.

"The Ming Dynasty has a strong military force. I once saw the Ming Dynasty general Lan Yu who was stationed in Tamluo and his soldiers... His orders and prohibitions were followed, and hundreds of people were as one. This is the strongest army in the world!"

"Yuan Ting doesn't dare to attack him directly, let alone you and me? Let you and I go to take Daming? To kill!" Li Chenggui drank a glass of fine wine, but couldn't suppress the bitterness in his heart.

At this moment, the two of them are leading an army to station on Waihua Island.It rained continuously and the Yalu River was so majestic that it was difficult to wade through it.Therefore, the two had to stay here temporarily, waiting for the weather to clear up, while drinking and having fun in the military tent.

"Lord Li Youdutong...why don't I know that I need to be aware of current affairs?" Cao Minxiu also had a bitter look on his face, with a hint of drunkenness on his face. "Not only me, but even you and the soldiers under my command know that the Great Tomorrow will never be humiliated lightly."

"Look, look, how many deserters have we and other soldiers in the camp added in the past few days? Even the illiterate soldiers know the power of the Ming Dynasty! Let us go to fight the Ming Dynasty to kill us. Let's die!" He said, taking the wine bottle directly and pouring the wine into his mouth.The wine overflowed to his neck and chest, as if the bitterness in his heart had nowhere to pour. "You and I have worked hard for Goryeo for more than ten years. Without you and me, Goryeo would have been destroyed by the red scarf bandits!"

"Now the king and his ministers all hope that I will die... Haha, if you want me to die, I will have to die..."

Cao Minxiu was in grief.

"Alas, our loyal ministers have no way to serve the country." Li Chenggui seemed to have a flash of light in his eyes, and then he hurriedly made a gesture of compassion like Cao Minxiu did. "It's just...just...Oh!" He drank the wine and sighed heavily.

"Just why? What's wrong with Li Youdu telling the truth?" Cao Minxiu was aroused and curious.

"This...sigh! This...you and I, the generals, should not discuss the government affairs arbitrarily." Li Chenggui pretended to be entangled, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and finally slapped the table, pretending not to express his displeasure.

"It doesn't matter if the king wants you and me to die. We, the generals, have gone through life and death. Although we were harmed by treacherous ministers, it is because of the king's orders that we must not violate them." Li Chenggui knew that Cao Minxiu was foolish and loyal, so he deliberately said this up front. "It's just that if you and I die, we will die, but it will destroy my century-old country of Goryeo..."

"Having harmed Goryeo Sheji? How can I say this?" Cao Minxiu perked up as expected.

"The treacherous officials instigated the king to cut off tribute from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was extremely dissatisfied with me, Goryeo." Li Chenggui seemed to be sincere. "Now we have raised troops to attack the Ming Dynasty...According to the traitor's thoughts, he must have planned to take our heads to plead guilty to the Ming Dynasty if you and I were defeated. However, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Hongwu was so talented and ambitious that he had the heart to annex all the countries. How could this happen? Let go of such a legitimate excuse to send troops?"

"As soon as you and I die, the Ming Dynasty will definitely raise its troops to attack Goryeo... How can the traitorous ministers in the court be a match for the Ming Dynasty's elite soldiers and strong generals?"

"I'm afraid that not long after you and I die, everyone in Korea will be buried with you and me."

What Li Chenggui said was so bluffing that Cao Minxiu was horrified.

He walked around the tent for a few steps, turned around and asked, "How could Mr. Li make such an assertion?"

"The Ming Dynasty is now confronting Yuanting... If I know that Yuanting cannot defeat the Ming army, why should I still stay in Dadu?"

"Master Cao, do you think this is...possible?" Li Chenggui smiled bitterly. "The person guarding the Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty is Xu Da, Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty."

"This man's military tactics are so miraculous that no one in the world can match him. His army has always been a great victory, and the only small defeat was caused by Timur, the former king of Qi in the Yuan Dynasty, who used all his strength in the grassland to set up an ambush."

"That's it, I didn't get any advantage, and Xu Da was allowed to calmly reorganize his army and retreat unscathed."

"Now that the King of Qi has passed away, Tuo Huochi is domineering and underestimates the enemy. Mr. Cao thinks that Tuo Huochi can be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty?"
