Chapter four hundred and twenty first whimsical plan

"Yes!" Li Guozhu, who had already been eager to try, gave Guo Zhiyuan a clean salute, turned around and shouted: "From the new army, everyone gathered! Line up!... Look left! Stand at attention! Turn left! Stay in line, walk in line, get off the boat!..."

Looking at the Sino-Singapore Army who walked off the warship with great confidence, Guang Haijun's face became even more ugly. After the Japanese invasion in Ionchen, he felt deeply cowardly in Korea, so he spent a lot of effort to build his own royal guard. The training and equipment of the royal guard were completely imitated by the Ming army that had entered North Korea to help North Korea fight against the Japanese army. He thought he could be considered an elite army, but compared with the Sino-Singapore Army under Guo Zhiyuan, it was really a difference. Not to mention equipment, the solemn aura on the Sino-Singapore Army is not something that the Korean royal guard who has never been on the battlefield!

Lee Kwok-joo did not have the consciousness of being a guest army at all. With a wave of his hand, the Xinxin Army automatically divided into two rows after getting off the ship, and honestly and unceremoniously lined up in front of the Korean royal guards. This act of overwhelmingly seizing the Lord made Kwang Hae-kun and the Korean ministers present dark!

Guo Zhiyuan got off the boat at the end, completely ignoring the ugly faces of the Korean monarch and ministers, bowed to Guanghaijun and said: "I have seen Guanghaijun, Guo came uninvited. I hope Guanghaijun will not blame me, an uninvited guest, for not understanding etiquette..."

Guanghai Jun forced a smile and said, "Where, where, I have long admired Lord Guo's name. When I see you today, it is indeed worthy of your reputation..."

After awkward chat, Guanghaijun took the initiative to invite him: "Mr. Guo came from afar, and it must be very hard. I prepared a brief banquet in the palace and asked Mr. Guo to enjoy the glory..."

A palace banquet like this is actually quite boring. She sat there and couldn't move, and she had to hold her body and couldn't look around, otherwise she would lose her etiquette. However, Guo Zhiyuan obviously did not have such concerns. He directly made a lazy "Zhiyuan lie down", supported his head with his hands, and enjoyed the graceful dance of the beautiful Korean dancer. The Korean ministers present were all black and looked at him angrily. He did not look like a minister from the Ming Dynasty who had always paid attention to etiquette, and he was simply a rogue!

Guang Haijun frowned, but did not make any attack. He took the initiative to pick up the wine glass to toast Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan still lazily raised the wine glass as a return gift. Guang Haijun suppressed the displeasure in his heart and tentatively said: "Mr. Guo came from the ocean with so many ships and subordinates, I don't know what he intended to do?"

The drama is coming! The Korean ministers who were accompanying him immediately focused their attention on Guo Zhiyuan, and this issue is also very concerned about them.

Guo Zhiyuan stretched lazily, finally sat upright, and said carelessly: "I believe you know that I, the Ming Dynasty, are now in a feud with the Later Jin Dynasty, and the war is imminent. Guo is not talented and wants to help the court, so he wants to borrow a way from your country to capture the way for Jiannu's retreat..."

Guanghaijun and the ministers were shocked. Guo Zhiyuan really dared to think and do it. Not to mention whether he could succeed when he ran so far to capture the future path of the Later Jin Dynasty. Just being able to come up with such a whimsical plan is enough to show how bold this person is!

However, it was also shocked. The reactions of the ministers were different. Most of the ministers were excited. Most of them were still interested in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that during the Japanese invasion of Ion Chen, North Korea relied entirely on the Ming army to defeat the Japanese invaders to protect its country. Even before the Lee family ruled North Korea, North Korea was deeply influenced by Chinese Han culture. The literati and officials in Korea regarded China as their sect leader. From culture to clothing customs, they had been trying hard to imitate China. They had a strong sense of identity with China, so they named their capital "Hanyang" (later changed to "Seoul" and it was not until 2005 that they changed it to "Seoul" and at that time South Korea specifically notified China about the name change). This shows how powerful Chinese culture has in North Korea.

Therefore, the scholar-official class in Korea really hoped that the Ming Dynasty could win the battle with the Later Jin Dynasty. Even the previous disgust towards Guo Zhiyuan was greatly reduced. He felt that although Guo Zhiyuan was a little unruly and did not understand etiquette, he still had a loyal and patriotic heart. His previous behavior of rudeness became a straightforward move of a person in his temperament.

However, Guanghai Jun frowned even more. It is said that during the Japanese turmoil in Ionchen, the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to help Korea defeat the Japanese invaders to protect Korea and also preserve the Li family's status in Korea. He should be grateful, but the Ming Dynasty slapped him in the face with the issue of his succession, because Guanghai Jun was the second son of Xuanzu, the former Korean king. The Ming Dynasty has always used the right standard for choosing the heir to the throne. Even Emperor Wanli wanted to make his favorite King Fu as the crown prince, but he was desperately opposed by the civil minister group. Emperor Wanli had been playing games with the civil minister group for many years, and in the end he had to make his eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince. How could he support North Korea to make Guanghai Jun, who was not the eldest son, the king of Korea?

In the 23rd year of Wanli, Xuanzu enthroned Guanghaijun as the crown prince and stated that the court requested approval. The Ming Dynasty replied: "Super the great righteousness of the rule, the seniority should be divided, and it is not appropriate to impose the order." Guanghaijun therefore had secret complaints about the Ming Dynasty. In the 24th year of Wanli, the 33rd year of Wanli, the North Korea submitted a letter to request Yi Chu. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was also making a mess about the establishment of the crown prince, so he refused. In the 36th year of Wanli, Xuanzu died of illness. In fact, the prince Guanghaijun succeeded to the throne and stated that the court claimed to be the power of state affairs and requested the enthronement. The Emperor Wanli hated his tyranny and ignored it.

The Ming Dynasty repeatedly refused to grant Kwang Haijun on the grounds that it was not the eldest son, which was unprecedented in Korean history, causing Kwang Haijun to lose all his face. Even after Kwang Haijun succeeded to the throne, the Ming Dynasty refused to grant Kwang Haijun the title of King of Korea. In the end, Korea could only lied that the eldest son of Kwang Zu was mentally ill and voluntarily gave way to Kwang Haijun. Daming then sent two envoys to Hanyang to verify. North Korea used a large amount of silver to bribe the envoy, and finally got Daming to agree to the envoy.

Anyone who was slapped in the face in this way would be extremely unhappy, so Guanghai Jun regarded this as a great humiliation and was resentful to the Ming Dynasty court. He was unwilling to interfere with the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. In the end, due to the pressure of the Ming Dynasty and the strong persuasion of the court officials, he had to send 13,000 people to the war, but in fact he did not work hard.

More importantly, Guanghaijun and the ministers in the court had different views. He was not optimistic about the victory of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. He was always paying attention to the situation in the Ming Dynasty in China and knew that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the strong Ming Dynasty, and was on the decline, while the Later Jin Dynasty was rising strongly. This was like an old man who was already fighting with a young man who was growing up quickly. This result really didn't make him optimistic!
