Chapter 416 Difficulties
Cao Renli did not stay in Goryeo for too long. There were still many things waiting for him in the country. After cleaning up, he was ready to go back. However, Zheng Zhilong had another thing to ask Cao Renli to make an idea.
This matter doesn't sound big, but if it is not done well, it is very likely that the handle will be left behind.
Zheng Zhilong didn't think of any stain on his credit. If the censors in China knew about it, it would not be a trivial matter.
What this guy is talking about is the princesses and princesses from the Goryeo royal family, with a total of twelve people, each of whom is as beautiful as a flower...
"Eunuch Cao, we can make decisions about other things and do them properly, but the problem is that this matter is not easy to handle. According to the previous rules, it must be transported back to the capital and let His Highness take charge of the matter himself. However, His Highness has not yet been married. If I do, I will transport it back rashly..."
Zheng Zhilong said with a bitter face, if His Royal Highness had already married or if there was a prince already, and transporting these princesses from Goryeo Kingdom back, it would be icing on the cake. Even if someone in the harem was not satisfied, no one would say anything.
But now the situation is different. Your Highness the Crown Prince has not had a big wedding, and you suddenly sent so many women back. This will pose a great threat to the future queen and concubine.
If you give birth early, it will be a huge shock to the entire Ming Dynasty, and everyone will point their finger at you, Zheng Zhilong.
Don’t think you have made such contributions in Goryeo. If the problem really reaches that point, you have already shaken the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Will the contributions you have made still be useful?
Speaking of this, Cao Renli also smiled bitterly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in his youth. If there is really something that His Royal Highness likes here, he must send it back.
But after sending it back, you will definitely encounter the same situation as Zheng Zhilong. Wouldn't you take the blame?
"Prepare it in the royal palace of Goryeo and leave special personnel to guard it. Nothing is allowed. After the old slave returns to the capital, he will report to the prince slowly to see what his prince means. If something happens to you, you must notify me in time."
Cao Renli did not miss the ball, and he also knew that the following generals were not easy to deal with. After all, this was a difficult matter. Only His Royal Highness in the world can handle this matter.
If someone oversteps power, it would be a great sin of disrespect. In the past, what right do you have to deal with the princess of the enemy country? Are you trying to act on behalf of heaven?
"Thank you, Eunuch Cao. Eunuch Cao really solved a big problem for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep even at night."
What Zheng Zhilong said is true. There are six princesses and princesses in the Goryeo Kingdom. Zheng Zhilong locked them all in the Goryeo Palace. He didn't know what to do with them. Now he has a sure letter.
After saying these things, Zheng Zhilong sent all kinds of books to send over, all the items seized in Goryeo.
"I have seen everything, and my soldiers are doing well. According to what His Royal Highness said, each person's salary this month has doubled. In addition, the day when the team returns to the court, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
So there have been rumors about this, but it is a foregone conclusion that people at Zheng Zhilong's level are not pursuing these gold, silver and treasures, they are pursuing the red top on their heads.
But for the ordinary soldiers below, they are pursuing their own pockets. Everyone can get dozens of taels of silver when they go back from the war in Goryeo, and they can live a good life even if they go home.
"Thank you, Prince."
This time, I grabbed a total of 2.5 million taels of silver and 70,000 taels of gold.
Although the number is not a lot, it is still quite a lot. Of course, the most valuable thing is the other treasures. According to some people's preliminary estimates, it will be about tens of millions of taels in total, but some things cannot be exchanged for the time being.
Almost all the savings of the Goryeo royal family for more than ten generations were dug out by them. Although the Qing Dynasty had occupied the place before, it did not dig carefully. Moreover, the Qing rulers believed that the Goryeo people were weak and could not have too much money.
When Zheng Zhilong used to be a pirate, he often robbed these Goryeo merchants, so he naturally knew how much money Goryeo had.
So when conducting a search, you will never let go anywhere. This is why you have this amount of money, which can be considered as a way to meet the expenses of the Ming Dynasty for one year.
"From now on, the Admiral must strictly demand that his subordinates must not robbery again. Even if there is a house search, there must be a formal reason. Although the people of Goryeo are different from the people of our Ming Dynasty, they cannot harm them at will."
There are still a few words to say. Goryeo will be considered an important overseas stronghold in the future and is very important in Zhu Cixuan's territory, so Cao Renli has to give a few more instructions.
If this place is ruined, Zheng Zhilong will not have any good results, mainly because it lives overseas and the court's supervision ability has been greatly weakened, so it can only rely on the local chief executive.
"Please rest assured that you understand everything about your humble position and will not make this place chaotic. All tax rates will be collected according to the previous standards of the Goryeo Kingdom before receiving the imperial edict from the court."
With Zheng Zhilong's words, Cao Renli was relieved.
"The Admiral is a smart person and will continue to move forward in the future. He dare not break the rules without authorization like other people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who respects the rules the most."
Before boarding the boat, Cao Renli left this sentence, which could be regarded as a reminder to Zheng Zhilong.
After the victory of the war, this guy was indeed a little arrogant. After Cao Renli's beating, he also knew what his next task was, which was to actively rectify the entire Goryeo Kingdom and make it necessary to turn it into a hinterland for attacking Liaodong.
Of course, the number of Ming army is seriously insufficient here. After Cao Renli returns, four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment will be transported over.
By then, the Ming army in Goryeo will reach 40,000 to 50,000. With the assistance of Goryeo's army, this is also a considerable force. When attacking Liaodong, this force can also play a decisive role...
