The North Korean envoy Hong Yihan set out from Inchon to Shidao by boat.
Along the way, he saw the powerful naval fleet of the Polu Army.
This magnificent fleet rode the wind and waves on the sea and avoided all ships it encountered with its invincible momentum.
It shocked him deeply.
This incident further strengthened its pro-Ming stance.
If North Korea wanted to maintain its survival among the Hulu in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south, the Ming Dynasty was indispensable.
In other words, the Ming Dynasty is the foundation for North Korea's stable survival.
Without the Ming Dynasty, North Korea would either surrender to the Hulu or be destroyed by the Japanese pirates.
There would be no other way out.
This has been proven over the past hundred years.
Without him, North Korea, a small country with a small population, would be unable to fight against the ferocious invaders.
Tiger and leopard.
Although surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is also a kind of subordination, the Ming Dynasty only collects symbolic tributes, but the rewards are several times that.
During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty spent millions of taels of silver and more than 100,000 troops to save Korea from national and extermination.
Is this something that the barbarians could do?
If they surrendered to the barbarians, not only would Little China lose its face, but I am afraid that the extorted money and food will make it difficult for the North Korean people to breathe.
Hong Yihan finally learned in Shidao that what Zhao Lie said was true.
Zhao Lie had indeed gathered troops to aid the DPRK immediately after receiving the news.
It could be said that he had been charged with a huge crime and even had constant troubles with the Ming court and the emperor. .
This made Hong Yihan burst into tears of gratitude.
In his opinion, three hundred thousand silver dollars was nothing to mention.
Compared with protecting North Korea's face and the safety of the royal family, and compared with Zhao Lie's responsibility for the crimes that implicate the family, these The money was really insignificant, and it also made him understand what he should say when he went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to see the emperor.
On the way to Shuicheng, Hong Yihan showed his kindness to Zhao Lieshi in every possible way.
At the same time, he repeatedly stated that when he met the emperor, he would definitely send troops to intercede for Zhao Lie's no-edict.
Zhao Liedu smiled and accepted everything, and gave good words to comfort him.
The pro-Ming faction in Korea must give strong support, but there is not much to say about his relationship with the emperor.
If he sat in Chongzhen's position, he would suppress the Polu army in every possible way. and Zhao Lie.
There is no other reason.
This is based on the dictator's fear of losing power and tools of violence.
This is no exception in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, because taking a step back means losing the supreme status of arbitrary power in his hands.
When the Li Ji slowly approached the pier of Dengzhou Shuicheng, hundreds of steps around it were already under martial law.
All idlers were not allowed to approach, even the guards of Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were not allowed to approach.
Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were already waiting at the dock.
He had received a report from Lanmingshan in Shuicheng the day before yesterday.
Zhao Lie, the envoy of North Korea and the commander-in-chief, would arrive in Shuicheng today.
The meaning is obvious, if you want to meet, go to Shuicheng.
No matter how depressed and suffocated Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were, they still had to go to Shuicheng to welcome their subordinate Zhao Lie.
They had no choice but to let the North Korean envoys come on the same boat.
They knew how much the emperor valued North Korea.
The last two envoys Jin Shangxian and Jin Zidian were personally greeted by local officials along the way and served with banquets.
They were almost coaxed all the way to the capital.
If they neglect the Korean season, the emperor will always be angry, so they cannot ruin the important affairs of the court and the emperor because of Zhao Lie.
The two of them came to Shuicheng early today to greet them, but Lan Mingshan, the guard of Shuicheng, did not allow them to escort them near the dock, so they complied with humiliation, all for the sake of the emperor's important affairs.
When the thin Hong Yihan was led by Zhao Lie to the dock, the two of them stepped forward to greet him.
Hong Yihan paid a respectful visit to the No. 1 and 2 officials in Denglai of the Ming Dynasty, and he was very grateful.

Although he knew that North Korea's catastrophe had nothing to do with the two Mao in front of him, but this was method of exchanges between the two countries.
Since a certain rough and dark military man did not want to go to Dengzhou City, a few people came to the General Military Mansion in Dengzhou Water City accompanied by the escort.
After the guards went to the fragrant tea, several people talked together.
Hong Yihan was going to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor.
The itinerary and even some arrangements after arriving in the capital had to be decided here.
At this time, it was a matter of discussion between Hong Yihan and the two important ministers of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Lie was just a soy sauce person and sat beside him.
Perhaps because he was too bored, Zhao Lie was a little sleepy and kept yawning, which was supposed to be a bit rude.
Chen Yingyuan was very well-educated and looked at him as if he was nothing, but Zhang Guoyuan couldn't stand it anymore and gave Zhao Lie a few glances.
It's just that Zhao Lie didn't see anything and was still lazily keeping company.
It was Hong Yihan who saw the discord between the three and took the initiative to change the topic to the tribute items from North Korea.
"This time, I have brought you..."
Hong Yihan told the story of the objects that Li Zhu presented to the emperor.
These are some of the specialties of North Korea.
They are common objects that are worshiped in North Korea every time.
It is not surprising.
"Of course this time North Korea also paid the Denglai Army 300,000 taels of silver."
Hong Yihan said cautiously, this must be said.
If not, Li Zhu would get angry.
The Li family paid so much gold and silver to make the emperor appreciate it.
How could it pass by silently?
But Hong Yihan knew that what he said would be bad, because after he arrived at Shidao, he had discovered that Zhao Lie's troops were extremely special, and the relationship with the Emperor of Heaven was extremely tense.
Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, the two Ming Dynasty ministers opposite had changed their colors.
"How can this happen?
How can such a large amount of silver be handed over to the Denglai army?
It should first be handed over to me, the governor of Denglai."
Although Chen Yingyuan said he was talking to Hong Yihan, he was actually telling Zhao Lie that it would be wrong for you to keep this money for yourself.
Zhang Guoyuan's reaction was much more violent.
He immediately stood up, took two steps forward, pointed at Zhao Lie and said, "Zhao Lie, this is the tribute presented by North Korea to the emperor, how dare you take it in your pocket."
Zhang Guoyuan's eyes were wide open with anger.
He was so angry that he went crazy.
Zhao Lie, a bastard, dared to steal the emperor's belongings.
He was really fed up.
"This general asked for this from the King of Korea.
Our Denglai army lost more than a thousand people in the battle and destroyed several warships.
These losses were huge.
Even the compensation of silver would make it impossible for me to repay it.
It can be said that without these silver taels, Denglai army would not be able to repay it."
The Lai army must disperse."
Zhao Lie looked at Zhang Guoyuan coldly, "Furthermore, the soldiers who sent out troops are not eligible to receive pension silver coins, so who is still eligible?
If the court takes away this pension silver coins, who will fight desperately for the Ming Dynasty in the future."
The two men stared at each other fiercely, and the air in the room was extremely suffocating.
Seeing that neither of them wanted to let go, Chen Yingyuan hurriedly changed the subject.
He could not let the two people continue to quarrel, otherwise if one of them broke up, Denglai might be shaken, and he, the governor of Denglai, would not be well. end.
"Master Zhao, you are worrying too much.

My intention is to collect the money and distribute it according to merit, so that no soldier will be left behind."
"Haha, the imperial court still owes the Denglai army 160,000 taels of silver in salary.
I don't know when it will be paid.
Hmm, if it weren't for North Korea's money, the Denglai army would have mutinied."
Zhao Lie looked at the two of them coldly.
The imperial court owed the Denglai army wages.
One reason was that the court was really in difficulty, and the other was to thin out the Denglai army and suppress Zhao Lie's momentum.
The two of them knew this very well, but they couldn't say it like that, otherwise they would be at odds with each other.
"Master Zhao, now the imperial court is also incapable of making a living without rice.
It would be better for you to ask Mr.
Zhao to tide over the difficulties with the imperial court."
Chen Yingyuan smiled and said, he is really well-mannered.
"The emperor has repeatedly reduced the expenses in the palace.
Even the monthly income of the few concubines has been halved.
Zhao Lie is a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
He should also share the worries of the emperor and father.
How can he divide the income of the imperial court."
Zhang Guoyuan still held on to the 300,000 taels of silver.
"Hahaha," Zhao Lie stood up with a long smile, "Who said that I didn't share your father's worries?
I led the troops under my command to go south to the Japanese country, forcing the Japanese general to surrender, and marched eastward to North Korea to prevent the forced landing of slaves in North Korea.
Who dares to say that I, Zhao Lie, did not worry about the Ming Dynasty?
Who dares to say that I, Zhao Lie, should not have taken a mere three hundred thousand taels of pension money. " Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan immediately lost their minds.
They looked at Zhao Lie dumbfounded and thought to themselves, Zhao Lie, you are not crazy, go east to North Korea, this is possible.
As for the troops entering the Japanese country and forcing the Japanese general to surrender, what you Zhao Lie are talking about is Shenma Dongdong.
Zhao Lie is not crazy or something.
Wanli spent millions of money to aid Korea and dispatched more than 100,000 troops to repel the Japanese.
Note that we are still in Korea.
You, Zhao Lie, are more brave, but you can defeat the Japanese with just over 10,000 men.
It is simply a fantasy.
"Master Zhao is not talking nonsense.
For three hundred thousand taels of silver, it is too much for Master Zhao to bring up the Japanese affairs."
Zhang Guoyuan sneered and pointed at Zhao Lie with an expression of extreme contempt.
Zhao Lie didn't say much at all.
He gave a few instructions to the guards, and the guards left.
After a while, Zhao Da came in and handed a box to Zhao Lie.
Zhao Lie handed the box to Chen Yingyuan, who took it in confusion.
He opened it and saw a rolled-up letter inside.
Chen Yingyuan opened the letter and looked at it.
His eyes opened wider and wider, and his hands began to tremble.
Zhang Guoyuan saw Chen Yingyuan's strange behavior and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
After a few glances, he opened his eyes wide and almost stared at the letter.
"Is this lowering of the list real?
It couldn't be that you, Zhao Lie, found someone to forge it, right?"
Zhang Guoyuan looked at Zhao Lie with wide eyes.
Japanese writing is based on Chinese characters, so you can guess the general meaning of many words in it without any need for translation.

This is indeed the order of surrender to the emperor of tomorrow.
But Zhang Guoyuan wouldn't believe anything he said.
This was simply impossible.
Zhao Lie must be lying.
That was definitely the case.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Hong Yihan saw that this was not a big deal, so he could only interject, "We, the Korean national security guard, have an autographed letter from the Japanese shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu.
I compared it with this.
This letter of surrender is indeed Tokugawa's.
Iemitsu’s handwriting.”
Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan were shocked when they heard that they were shocked.
Is this really true?
This is unscientific
