Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

The man's name was Zhang Huai.

He came from Daming ten years ago.

Li Zhu's impression of him was that he was very knowledgeable but very low-key.

On weekdays, he is responsible for the studies of the royal family's children and rarely shows up.

Unexpectedly, in such a crisis, he would actually stand up and say that there was a solution.

This somewhat surprised Li Zhu.

But no matter what, it’s a good thing if there is a way!

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huai does have a method."

"But success requires the king to pay some price."

"And Zhang Huai can't guarantee that it will work."

Zhang Huai cupped his hands and said calmly.

These words made Li Zhu even more curious.

"I love you, but it's okay to say."

"As long as I, the king, can give it, I can take it out!"

Compared with the throne, no matter whether it is gold, silver or mineral resources.

Even he, Li Zhu, can bear it!

Seeing that Li Zhu had no objection, Zhang Huai nodded and continued.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of the Tatars' trip is to seize North Korea and open up connections with Japan, so their offensive momentum is very strong."

"And it is basically impossible to ask Daming for support in this situation."

"Whether it's the Beijing camp or the Baigan Army, they will be worried that Huang Taiji will turn around and attack them after leaving the city, so they will definitely not dare to rescue him."

"Your Majesty, even if you write a hundred letters, it will be of no use."

"If we want to save ourselves, we still have to integrate the forces we currently have and use the Yalu River to block Huang Taiji's attack."

Zhang Huai spoke quickly, completely blocking Li Zhu's idea of ​​writing a letter asking for help.

There is a hammer for writing letters. Huang Taiji is almost at the door. Even if Daming is willing to risk his support, it is already too late.

Therefore, they can only rely on themselves.

"Zhang Aiqing, may I ask how to defend?"

"Although I shouldn't say this, I also know that my army is far from a match for the Japanese pirates."

"I'm afraid I can't prevent it."

Zhang Huai's words made Li Zhu feel a little uncomfortable.

How to fight without asking for help?

The North Korean army does not have the ability to destroy the Tatars.

"Of course we don't have it, but the Dongjiang Army can."

"Your Majesty, there is only one way to thwart the Tatar attack."

"That is to let the [-] Dongjiang troops on Pi Island enter North Korea and take over the Yalu River."

"Then we will bring back the [-] Korean troops from Japan."

"With the addition of soldiers from all over the country, we can at least gather about [-] troops on the Yalu River."

"The Tatars are not good at water warfare. Their strength can only be shown after landing."

"So we must not let the Tatars cross the river!"

"Once they cross the river, North Korea will perish!"

Zhang Huai took a breath and expressed his thoughts.

If you want to keep North Korea, you must let the Dongjiang Army on Pi Island join.

Only by letting them defend the Yalu River can there be a glimmer of hope.

"This...Zhang Aiqing, we can't mobilize the troops on Napi Island."

"Besides, their mission is to guard Phi Island, and they won't come out easily."

"If Pi Dao is lost, the Dongjiang Army's stronghold will be gone."

Looking for Dongjiang Army?

Li Zhu frowned and was puzzled.

Isn't this still nonsense? If the Dongjiang Army could come, he wouldn't be so panicked.

"Your Majesty, the mission of the Dongjiang Army is indeed to guard Pi Island."

"But the problem is that if North Korea is lost, Pidao will also be lost."

"Huang Taiji doesn't have a ship, but Japan does."

“So, to protect North Korea is to protect Phidao itself.”

"Of course, if the [-] Dongjiang troops leave the island to defend the Yalu River, the island will definitely be burned to the ground by Huang Taiji."

"And it's too late to write to Ming Dynasty now, so the king must release something. I am willing to go and persuade the Dongjiang Army to come to help."

Regarding Li Zhu's doubts, Zhang Huai shook his head and explained.

It is definitely difficult to persuade the Dongjiang Army to come to help, but it is by no means impossible.

It just depends on the benefits of exchange.

"Zhang Aiqing, just tell me."

"What do you need me to do!"

"As long as the Dongjiang Army can come over, I can give you money!"

Li Zhu stared at Zhang Huai for a while, then took a breath and asked directly.

Say it!

What do you want!

"Forget about money, Dongjiang Army is not short of money."

"Your Majesty, my idea is very simple: hand over the military power of North Korea."

"Let Ming's army be responsible for the security of our North Korea."

"As long as we act like this, the destroyed Phi Island will not be a problem at all."

"From now on, the entire territory of North Korea will be the headquarters of the Dongjiang Army!"

"In this case, Dongjiang Army will definitely be willing to make this replacement."

"Even if Emperor Ming asked about it afterwards, he would only praise them for knowing how to adapt."

"Because one of the Dongjiang Army's several tasks here is to protect North Korea."

"So coming to help defend doesn't break the rules."

what?

Hand over military power!

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in chaos like a thunderous explosion.

An old minister immediately stood up, pointed at Zhang Huai and cursed angrily.

"If military power is handed over, wouldn't North Korea become a city of the Ming Dynasty?"

"If the Ming Dynasty wants to do something to us in the future, how can we resist without military power?"

"North Korea is still a country after all. How can it hand over its military power?"

The old minister's question instantly gained the approval of many people.

But Zhang Huai sneered and chuckled.

"Everyone, I'm afraid you have made a mistake."

"Even if we don't hand over military power, can we still resist whatever Ming Dynasty wants to do?"

"Can you see clearly what the situation is now?"

"Both the Japanese and the Tatars want to bring North Korea under their own jurisdiction."

"If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, North Korea would have died long ago!"

"Furthermore, North Korea's own army is as weak as if it had no military at all."

"In that case, why not just hand it over?"

"Can they defeat the Tatars or the Ming Dynasty army?"

Zhang Huai's words were so sharp that they blocked the mouths of the officials around him.

There is no fool here, and everyone knows that North Korea has become a hot potato.

It all depends on Ming Dynasty to maintain the situation.

Under such circumstances, it seems that the decision whether to give up military power or not is almost the same.

But then again, although we all understand the truth, North Korea is a country after all.

Wouldn't handing over military power be equivalent to handing over royal power?

"Zhang Aiqing..."

"Is this the only way?"

"Although North Korea is weak, it is still a country."

"This..."

Above, Li Zhu frowned for a while before asking.

Hand over military power...

Although North Korea's soldiers are very weak, being weak and having none are two different things.

Once it is handed over, it is basically equivalent to losing autonomy.

He, the king, has become just a decoration.

"Your Majesty, what you should be most concerned about right now should not be the Tatars."

"It's about how to find a way to survive among the three parties."

"Do you think it's just the Tatars and Japanese pirates who covet the land of North Korea?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Daming also has this idea."

Li Jie's reluctance did not surprise Zhang Huai.

He just smiled, and then said a few words that made Li Zhu even more horrified!

That means Ming Dynasty may also be interested in North Korea!
