I'm really not the carpenter emperor

The current military supervisor is mostly in charge of the transportation of logistics, food and salaries, and because of the existence of the military supervisor, the renewal of the army's weapons and armor will be more valued by the court, so it is earlier than ordinary troops.

Ever since Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army tasted the sweetness of the military supervisor of the Dujian Mansion, generals from all over the country now have to invite the military supervisor to join the army.

Now the military supervisor has almost become the proof of whether it is the main force. The Nine Sides, Denglai Navy, Yongwei Battalion and other troops have specially selected military supervisors to dispatch food and pay.

As for the Dujian Mansion, it was supervised by Jin Yiwei's subordinate Beizhen Fusi when it was established.

Due to the antagonism between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, and the fact that Xu Xianchun, the current commander of the capital, is also a ruthless character, Jin Yiwei puts all his heart and soul into monitoring the Dujian Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zhang Pan actually didn't have that bad impression of the military supervisor. At least in the eyes of this dynasty, where the imperial power was at its peak and the officials were clear and clear, the Dujian Mansion was still a good thing.

The military supervisor is generally selected by the emperor to go out as an imperial eunuch.

In the same way, the same eunuch can serve as military supervisor or mine supervisor at most, and must not exceed ten years. This is the rule set by Zhu Youxiao himself.

Zhang Pan confirmed that he had never had any friendship with this military supervisor, and he came to visit suddenly for some reason. After thinking about it, he still opened the hatch to welcome him in, sat down and said:

"What advice does Supervisor Li have to teach?"

Chapter 784 Secret Discussion

Li Zheng walked in, looked around, found a chair and sat down, and asked seemingly casually:

"Is there a coast guard on Juehua Island recently?"

"Where did the Tatars come from?" Zhang Pan laughed and said, "It's not that the supervisor is ignorant of this. It's better to stay at sea than to go to Juehua Island."

"What's more, those North Korean princes and ministers are fighting endlessly. It's really not interesting to deal with them."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and asked: "Why, Supervisor Li is so busy today that he came to my cabin to catch up on the old days? If so, I still have to deal with business..."

Li Zheng smiled wryly in his heart, no matter what he did, the current civil and military ministers still had a lot of hostility towards eunuchs in their hearts.

People like Zhang Pan have already been regarded as keeping each other's faces.

"No, no, no, our family does not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. This time we came to find Marshal Zhang, and we want to give a great credit. This credit will be written in the history books in the future."

As soon as Li Zheng's words fell, Zhang Pan frowned, and after a while he chuckled lightly, saying in disbelief:

"What credit is there, more important than leading the Dengzhou Ying Navy to meet the Korean royal family and escorting them back to Mount Han safely?"

"It's ten times more important than this!" Li Zheng showed a slightly sullen expression, "To be honest, our family's trouble this time is to tell the commander-in-chief about the situation in the court."

"The DPRK and China have been making noise recently. Marshal Zhang is alone overseas. He may not know about it, but our family knows that the DPRK and China are arguing about the annexation of North Korea."

"what!?"

Zhang Pan never thought that such a thing would happen, and almost fell off his chair in fright. When he saw the open hatch, he hurried over to close it tightly.

Immediately, he turned his head and said solemnly:

"Inspector Li, my Ming Dynasty has always regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven, how could I do something like Lin Danhan's annexation of vassals? Is it because of treacherous ministers, or is it His Majesty's will?"

"It's Wen Tiren, the newly promoted cabinet assistant, who advised His Majesty, but the commander-in-chief must not misunderstand, and listen to me." Seeing that Zhang Pan's complexion changed, Li Zheng added:

"Our dynasty is to assist the royal family of the Lee family in handling the state affairs of North Korea. How can it be compared with the Xilu Lin Danhan's annexation of Tumot?"

"Marshal Zhang, you have also seen the situation in North Korea. The Jian captives invaded the country. They don't even have the power to protect themselves. Once Ming withdraws, what will they use to resist?"

"Now that Li Xingli and Li Xiuchen are dead, the entire garrison army has been wiped out, and there are no more capable generals in North Korea. This move by our court is in accordance with God's will."

"Hearing that the North Korean army had arrived in Beijing, His Majesty Longyan was furious, saying that the North Korean King Li Ji had no virtue of being a master. After careful consideration, he agreed to Elder Wen Ge's request in the warm pavilion."

Zhang Pan was just frightened at first, but after hearing what he said, he almost knew why Li Zheng came to find him, but this fact is of great importance.

If something goes wrong, the meritorious service will not be accomplished, but it will become a sinner between Daming and North Korea.

Hearing that the emperor had expressed his attitude in Xinuan Pavilion, Zhang Pan had nothing to say, but he hadn't made up his mind yet, so he tentatively asked:

"Such a major event, we have to wait for the imperial decree to come."

"There will be no imperial decree. Even if there is an imperial decree, the prince will enter the court to assist in governing. This time I came to the commander-in-chief to let the commander-in-chief do his own thing."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes and said:

"Since Li Xingli died in battle outside Hansan City, there have been rumors even among the Korean folks that Li Zhen has been on the throne for three years, and he has been foolish and defeated repeatedly."

"It can be seen that the North Korean soldiers and civilians have long lost confidence in their king. If the general wants to share the country's worries, he should abandon his own fame and fortune and plan a big event."

"What are you doing?" Zhang Pan pressed one hand on the table, quietly waiting for him to continue, but Li Zheng changed the subject and finally confessed:

"Hanshan City is newly defeated. Jiannu invaded Juehua Island at this time. The North Korean army is bound to lose. If one is not careful, Li Zhen will die at the hands of Jianlu..."

Having said this, Li Zheng's words stopped, and he looked in front of him teasingly.

Zhang Pan's eyebrows twitched. He had already guessed that he was being asked to do the dirty work between the two countries, but he didn't expect that it was such a thing.

"North Korean soldiers and civilians will only think that the Jin army outside Hanshan City killed Juehua Island. The Dengzhou Camp is at most a crime of unfavorable rescue. No one will think of the truth of the matter."

"The son of the Joseon Dynasty is only 12 years old. Once Li Ji died, the son succeeded to the throne. He has no popularity and no prestige. If the prince assists the government, the whole of Korea is a part of my Ming Dynasty."

"This kind of credit is tantamount to expanding the territory. Marshal, since His Majesty approved Elder Wen Ge's opinion in the Nuan Pavilion, it just shows that the old man has such thoughts."

"When this is done, His Majesty is in a good mood. Maybe he will give the commander-in-chief the position of the permanent governor of North Korea. North Korea is weak, but it is still a country."

"Now or never!"

Zhang Pan's heart was beating a drum.

If this thing is done and done seamlessly, then Daming can justify his name and take control of North Korea's political situation as soon as possible, and his own contribution will not be small.

Just like what Li Zheng said, the governor probably belongs to him.

At that time, within North Korea, I, the leader of the army, will be no different from Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Xieyuan, who have great powers, and the entire North Korean state will have to live on my own breath.

But if it is revealed, the friendship between Daming and North Korea will be broken, and the character design accumulated by Daming for 300 years will also be destroyed, and someone will take the blame.

There will be no one else for this person except him Zhangpan.

This is a dilemma. Opportunities and crises coexist. Zhang Pan took a few deep breaths, staring and asked: "Did your Majesty agree with this opinion in the Nuan Pavilion?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty was furious at first, and then Elder Wen Ge suggested that the prince should enter the court to assist the North Korean king Li Zhen in politics, so he agreed."

"The matter is true or false, the commander-in-chief will know it as soon as he asks."

Hearing this, Zhang Pan could at least feel better.

Although this is not a good thing, it is the emperor's intention after all, and from a certain point of view, it is also for Daming.

Thinking of this, he was a little moved.

Now he knows the situation of Juehua Island very well. Since Li Xingli was defeated, the North Korean army that retreated here is scattered.

Now even the entire garrison army has been wiped out. Pretending to be a slave and attacking Li Zhen's place, it is really a piece of cake for the Dengzhou camp. It only needs to give an order, and you can be done.

Reminiscent of future generations, the complete merger of North Korea into the Ming Dynasty was a great achievement in expanding the territory. Although it could not be put on the table, it was enough to satisfy him.

Zhang Pan rubbed his hands on his trousers for a while, gritted his teeth and said:

"It is the duty of us military generals to serve His Majesty with loyalty and death. For Daming, I am willing to do anything. Supervisor Li, please go back!"

Li Zheng made up his mind, stood up and said deeply:

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

If this matter is successful, the credit is indeed not small. If it is put on the table, the knighthood cannot escape, but the problem is that this matter will never be put on the table.

Regardless of Zhang Pan, or Li Zheng, the military supervisor who came to persuade tonight, their secret deliberations and actions will at most be unofficial history, and will not be included in the official history.

However, if it is made, it will be possible to expand the territory and expand the territory.

For Zhang Pan, the governor of North Korea is naturally the best reward, and Li Zheng, the military supervisor, will obviously enter North Korea with the Dujian Mansion, and control the entire military equipment and food and salaries of North Korea.

Only when something is beneficial will someone do it.

Chapter 785 Quickly Escort This King into the Sea

"Wu Ying, you have been in my Dengzhou camp for almost eight years." In the cabin, Zhang Pan looked at the [-]-year-old coastal defense guerrilla general in front of him and said silently.

The latter didn't understand the purpose of coming this time, seeing Zhang Pan's expression troubled, he said, "Marshal, do you have any tasks to entrust to the last general?"

"Marshal, please speak bluntly, the final general must swear to die!"

The reason why Wu Ying was chosen was precisely because Zhang Pan trusted him very much.

Wu Ying has been in the army for almost eight years. When Zhang Pan was a general, he had already served under his command. Now, he can also be a guerrilla general in the town.

Ask Wu Ying to do it, he will never have any complaints, and as long as it succeeds, this matter will always be a secret.

Zhang Pan knew that Wu Ying was the most suitable candidate, but when he looked at Wu Ying in front of him, the more sincere he was, the more he couldn't speak.

"Forget it, it's alright."

For some reason, Zhang Pan waved his hand, planning to find another candidate.

"Marshal?" Wu Ying looked at Zhang Pan suspiciously. Seeing that the latter's expression was not very good, he had no choice but to turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, he turned back again:

"Marshal, if you have anything to do, leave it to the general!"

"Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, the last general will not be disgraced!"

"You kid..." Zhang Pan looked at him, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, and said, "You come here with your ears, this matter is of great importance, don't let other people hear it, walls have ears."

Hearing this, Wu Ying became nervous, looked at the door, and took a few steps closer.

Hearing what Zhang Pan said, his complexion gradually changed, and finally he said in shock: "Marshal, is this the order of His Majesty?"

"No, but His Majesty has this wish. Those who are ministers and generals should share His Majesty's worries. Go ahead and do it beautifully."

"After the matter is completed..." Zhang Pan paused, and said: "I will pay you a sum of money, take your wife and children, go to the south of the Yangtze River to hide your name, and fly away!"

Wu Ying was extremely shocked at this moment. He never expected that he would participate in such an unspeakable secret affair between the two countries in this life.

He didn't think about it that much in his heart, he just felt afraid and looked forward to it, if he could accomplish this, it would be worth living in this world!

Thinking of this, he said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, Commander, the success or failure of this matter will rot in the belly of the general, and the Commander will never be implicated."

"Well, go down." Seeing Wu Ying leave, Zhang Pan's eyes gradually became gloomy.

It's not because he's afraid of hurting himself, but because he's afraid that things will be revealed, which will affect the prestige of Emperor Tianqi, and the banner of the Celestial Dynasty that Ming has always erected.

The annexation of the vassal state by the Celestial Dynasty will make other countries feel ashamed.

Although Zhang Pan trusts Wu Ying very much, this reliable general who has followed him in battle for a long time is too big to allow him to make two-handed preparations.

……

In Juehua Island, Wang Tent.

"What to do, what to do..." Li Zhen looked at the letter of credence sent back from Beijing with trembling hands, and Zhu Youxiao's words on it were very harsh.

It can even be said that Zhu Youxiao scolded Li Zhen severely.

He scolded him for being ignorant of political affairs, not doing military affairs, one general was incompetent, and exhausted the three armies. He also said that he was dazzled and would canonize him as the king of North Korea.

The civil servants of North Korea have already finished reading this letter of credence, and their complexions are not very good at the moment.

After all, he is his own king, and being pointed and scolded by others in his own territory, scolded bloody, is simply too miserable.

But then again, they really didn't dare to do anything.

This other person is none other than Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Daming is the lord of the heaven that the royal family of the Li family has revered for generations, what's wrong with scolding you, it's not impossible to find someone else if you don't have the power of the king.

Of course, until now, no emperor has really done this.

In the eyes of the Korean people, you are the real king only if you are conferred by the Ming Emperor.

The previous Lord Guanghai was easily overthrown by Li Yu because he did not have the recognition of Emperor Wanli, had no popular support, and added a political perspective that was biased towards Houjin.

Holding the letter of credence, Li Zhen's face was cloudy and sunny, but he didn't dare to say anything.

What can he say?

What dare he say?

The country was battered by the Houjin Army, and Bei Si Dao was the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. Just outside Juehua Island, hundreds of warships from the Denglai Navy were moored.

Except for the Ming army, North Korea had no way to resist Houjin. It can be seen that the entry of the army into the dynasty was expected by everyone and eagerly awaited.

At this time, if Li Jing dared to contradict Daming, his own subjects would be the first to refuse, and he might not even be able to sit on the throne.

But no matter how dissatisfied Li Zhen was in his heart, he still understood that if Daming really wanted to destroy himself, he could do it with just a raise of his hand.
