The lights in Changdeok Palace, the royal palace of North Korea, are brightly lit.
King Li Zhu of North Korea is receiving Ma Tao, the envoy of Jinghaibo Zhao Lie, the general of Denglai army in Ming Dynasty. read This year, North Korea was still in good health, and the damage caused by the slave-building and invaders was being healed.
The people basically returned to their homes, and the North Korean court also reduced taxes as much as possible to allow the people to regain some vitality.
Seeing that the situation in North Korea was gradually improving, Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he could not relax too much.
The Jian slaves in the north were like a big mountain pressing on North Korea, making it difficult for the North Korean monarchs and ministers to breathe.
The slave can cross the Yalu River again at any time.
A year later, Zhao Lie, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, sent someone to pay homage to the king of Korea, Li Zhu.
Of course, he had important matters.
Now North Korea has basically understood the basis of the Ming Dynasty's aid to North Korea.
To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty court.
For this reason, even if Zhao Lie helped North Korea resist the attack of the JI slaves, North Korea did not surrender to the JI slaves, and the situation in the east and northeast of the Ming Dynasty did not continue to deteriorate.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty still hated Zhao Lie extremely for raising troops without an edict.
And Beware, although reluctantly gave it to Jing Haibo.
The North Korean monarchs and ministers are already very clear about the fishy nature here.
For this reason, the internal discussions between the North Korean monarchs and ministers have come to the conclusion that Zhao Lie, the Denglai general, must not be offended, and even try to win over him, for no other reason than to In the future, there will be a great help.
Whether North Korea can withstand the attack of Jiannu will depend on Denglai Zhaolie.
This is already the consensus of North Korea's monarchs and ministers.
To this end, the pro-Ming faction was brought to power and the process of expelling the pro-Qing faction was already underway.
Therefore, the envoy sent by Zhao Lie, King Li Zhu of Korea, sent the left leader Jin Sangxian and Li Cao Banshu Hong Yihan ten miles out of the city to meet the envoy.
Nowadays, the leader of North Korea is still Jin Liu, and the military judge is still Li Shengqiu, but the official judge of Li Cao, Hong Yihan, and the judge of Hu Cao, Yin Ji, are all pro-Ming faction.
The reason why we sent the left leader Kim Sang-heon and Li Cao's judge Hong Yi-han was to express our closeness to Zhao Lie's envoys, and also to express that, well, our country in Korea is doing everything according to the wishes of Lord Zhao Lie.
All pro-Ming factions control the real power.
As a leader of the country, of course Li Jie couldn't lose face, and he tried to sell his favor to Zhao Lie, but it was enough to express it euphemistically in this way.
Ma Tao was welcomed into Changdeokgung Palace, the main palace of Joseon.
In the main hall, Ma Taoyi met with Li Li and presented the gift that Zhao Lie had brought to the king of Joseon, a set of gorgeous full-body armor made in Milan and a corresponding iron shield.
Spear and dagger.
This thing is not surprising to Zhao Lie.
There are many such things in Macao, but for the Lee family of North Korea who did not trade with Macao, this is really a rare thing.
Although Li Zhu was as gentle and calm as an otaku, he was the leader of a country after all.
He couldn't have a tiger in his heart.
Although he was suffocated by Jiannu and Ming Dynasty, this tiger could not see the light of day.
However, the otaku king Li Zhu is not allowed to think in his mind from time to time.
In his dream, he once led the iron army to conquer the north and south, beat the Japanese pirates and massacre the slaves.
Of course, when he woke up, a certain king was sighing.
Seeing this full-body armor with silver glitter this time, Li Jie really couldn't put it down.
It can be said that this gift scratched Li Jie's itch.
Li Zhu was in a good mood and asked people to accept the gift, and then had a chat with Ma Tao, which was nothing more than saying hello to the Emperor of Heaven and asking about Zhao Lie's current situation.
Of course, Ma Tao's few words of understatement about Prince Da Ming and the way he respectfully mentioned his commander-in-chief made everyone in North Korea fully understand that Prince Da Ming and Zhao Lie were really at odds with each other.
"I'm here to ask for help from the King of North Korea at the order of Marshal Zhao Lie."
After the pleasantries were over, and the meaningless words were almost finished, Ma Tao finally got to the point.
"Oh, General Zhao Lie is extremely wise and powerful.
I wonder how my little North Korea can help."
Hearing Zhao Lie's request for help, Li Zhu's heart skipped a beat.
He was really afraid of Zhao Lie.

When Zhao Lie came last time, Jin Zidian and others, who were alienated from the Ming Dynasty, brutally suppressed North Korea and extorted money and food from North Korea.
Moreover, North Korea's monarchs and ministers had no room for bargaining, which made Li Zhu, the otaku king, have a deep understanding of Zhao Lie.
Deep fear.
Ma Tao came here to say that he was asking for help.
Of course, Li Zhu would not think of it as a real request for help.
This was just to save his face.
Zhao Lie was talking about his request to North Korea.
If he failed to meet the requirements, he would bear the consequences.
"Recently, the Japanese state has resurfaced.
My commander-in-chief feels that it is necessary to send his troops to the east again to teach the so-called generals of the Japanese state.
However, staying behind in Denglai to defend and establish slaves is also an important task.
My lord feels that the troops are insufficient."
Li Zhu's face turned a little pale.
Now that the barbarians in the north were watching, the pressure was high.
North Korea also spent money and food to reorganize its troops.
This Zhao Lie couldn't be a lion and asked North Korea to send 300,000 to 50,000 troops to help.
"So that Mr.
Ma can know that last year the barbarians invaded, and our northern frontier army was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
It has not all been replenished yet, I'm afraid..."
Li Shengqiu, the military judge, hurriedly replied, seeing Li Zhu's appearance, how could he not know how his king was in trouble?
He, the military judge, stepped out to block the gun without hesitation.
"Next time, please ask Mr.
Li to listen to my words before we talk."
Ma Tao coldly interrupted Li Shengqiu.
This Li Shengqiu is a person who prefers Jin Zidian's faction.
Of course, Ma Tao knows how to give to this faction.
What face does the remnant have?
Li Shengqiu retreated.
He really didn't have the guts to argue with Mingren in person.
He saw with his own eyes how miserable Jin Zidian died.
Others were too calm and did not dare to speak out.
"My commander-in-chief hopes that the King of Joseon will send two thousand gunmen to assist in the battle.
This request will not embarrass the King of Joseon and the ministers."
Ma Tao said with a smile.
"General Zhao, this is his only request."
Li Zhu asked in disbelief.
"Of course, my adults have also considered North Korea's current difficulties and will not make any excessive demands.
However, the conquest of the Japanese country is also revenge for North Korea.
If North Korea does not send troops, I am afraid it cannot be justified."
Ma Tao looked at Li Shengqiu coldly.
Li Shengqiu was wronged and he had no choice but to come forward.
"Hahaha," Li Zhu felt a big stone in his heart and his mood improved.
It really didn't matter much, let alone seeking revenge against the Japanese country.
Last time, Mr.
Zhao led his troops to sweep across the Japanese country and sent some troops to retaliate against the Japanese country.

He could still revive the country.
Why not improve military morale?
"I am sending three thousand gunmen and two thousand archers to assist General Zhao.
I don't know if it is possible."
Li Zhu was also very happy.
"Well," Li Shengqiu's expression changed, and he bowed deeply to Ma Tao, "My king has sent out all our gunmen, and the country will be empty.
If the barbarians from the north invade again, I hope Lord Zhao can immediately send troops to help. ” Five thousand soldiers were not a small number, they were also long-range attack soldiers such as gunmen and archers.
Li Shengqiu hurriedly made up for the loopholes for Li Zhu.
"Don't worry, haha, North Korea holds a very important position in the hearts of my family, and we will never let the slaves invade North Korea."
Ma Tao was sure of it.
He knew Zhao Lie's thoughts very well.
North Korea's navy and gunmen said that Jian Nu should not be allowed to work for the tiger.
North Korea must be protected.
Seeing Ma Tao agree, North Korea's monarchs and ministers were extremely satisfied, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.
At the same time, Junjiro Koizumi stepped off a Jeju-class merchant ship at the Jeju Outer Port Terminal.
Due to the more than ten days of sailing, his steps were a little hesitant.
He is from Daonanhe.
Well, according to the Han officials who rule Beihua, they are ethnic minorities and people in Beihua and are also members of Beihua.
There were more than 4,000 of them, all the young Japanese who had been recruited from Daonan and South China.
The adults said that barbarians from the West were attacking Jeju, and they wanted to fight with them to defend North China.
Now that the Han people have sent a large number of troops to assist Jeju, it is time for the ethnic minorities to mobilize and send troops.
According to Koizumi Junjiro's simple thinking, this is also the case.
Most of the Han people have been recruited and sent out to the army, and you, a minority, are nothing.
Nowadays, in Daonan and Huanan, Kazuto's life is pretty good.
Their fields are still there, and their livelihood has not been affected at all.
It's even much better.
Because the rule of the Ming Dynasty was much looser than the rule of the original feudal lord, the land tax only required one tenth of the tax, which was completely different from the past where half of the rice grain had to be turned in.
Without the layers of exploitation by the feudal lord and samurai at all levels, Kazuto's life was much easier, at least that's how the Koizumi family felt.
Therefore, after Kazuto got over the initial panic, he now strangely welcomed the arrival of the Han people.
They forgot that many of their disciples died fighting against the Han people.
In other words, they have not forgotten, they just think that the sacrifices of those children are worth the good life they have today, except of course the family members of those warriors.
Junjiro Koizumi boarded the pier, and under the order of Fantou, he and hundreds of other Japanese soldiers formed a team, and under the leadership of the Ming soldiers, they marched towards the camp in the east of Jeju City.
While marching, Junjiro Koizumi looked in awe at the six huge gray-black forts with densely packed muzzles pointing toward the sea.
The flagpole above fluttered with the tiger head symbol of the Polu Army, and many Ming people in full armor were on duty on the bastion, watching and guarding the entire dock.
The Ishishima horses galloping back and forth on the official road also shocked these Kazuto soldiers.
Although Beihua also has such war horses, this is the first time to see such a tall horse galloping at such a close distance.
Men, who doesn't love tall horses?
As for the vigorous war horses, these and other people's eyes lit up.
After more than half a day of walking, the Japanese soldiers who had just experienced the long voyage and bumps were extremely tired and approached the camp in the east of Jeju.
This camp covering an area of dozens of acres was now bustling.
