Zhu Qi has probably gained some understanding of the character of King Wang Xun, the King of Goryeo.

To put it bluntly, this Goryeo King is a mediocre person with lofty ambitions but not in compliance with the abilities and psychology.

After searching through the historical books, you can find records about him, which are mostly negative news.

certainly,

This also has a lot to do with the establishment of the Lee family in the future and then revising history.

But most of the history recorded in the Ming Dynasty is still very objective and fair.

For example, Wang Xun dared to declare war on the Ming Dynasty, and after the Northern Yuan Dynasty was completely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, he declared war at this critical moment.

Needless to say, this is a stupid decision.

Now, Goryeo actually came to the Ming Dynasty to ask for land directly under the issue of Liaodong.

But in other words,

This is also a great move for the Northern Yuan King Baobao!

Wang Baobao knew that Liaodong could not be preserved, so he simply sealed Liaodong to the King of Goryeo.

In this way, after the Northern Yuan Dynasty withdrew from Liaodong, the land in Liaodong was nominally classified as the King and Officials of the Goryeo Kings and Officials.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Koryoi Kingdom had no land to border, but the Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong, but it had land to border Goryoi.

The king of Goryeo is ambitious and ambitious, so he will naturally not let go of the fat piece of Liaodong easily.

In any case, the Yuan Dynasty also ruled in Liaodong for hundreds of years. Goryeo obtained the legal claim of Liaodong. It would be absolutely impossible if it had no idea about Liaodong in the future.

What the Northern Yuan Dynasty most expects was that Goryeo took the initiative to attack and compete with the Ming Dynasty for land in Liaodong.

As long as Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty fought, then the Yuan Dynasty would have hope.

Zhu Qi naturally understood the thoughts of the Yuan Dynasty.

According to the current strength of the Ming Dynasty,

It is indeed difficult to start a war with the Northern Yuan and Goryeo at the same time.

It’s not that it can’t be defeated, but the result of this battle will hurt both sides and the Ming Dynasty will suffer a lot. Therefore, if we can avoid the war between the two fronts, it is more appropriate to stabilize Goryeo first.

At least we have to wait until the Ming Dynasty sends reinforcements to Liaodong to set up defenses before we can break up with Goryeo!

So when Zhu Qi learned from the Jinyiwei that King Goryeo had sent envoys to Liaoyang and wanted to discuss the issue of Liaodong territory with Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi immediately arranged for the messenger to return to Yingtian Prefecture with a quick horse, reported this to Zhu Yuanzhang, and requested reinforcements.

Then I started to think about how to delay time and let Goryeo not be suspicious.

Before the envoys from Goryeo arrived in Liaoyang, Zhu Qi's confidant general, Wang Chuanqi, had already led a fleet to Liaoyang.

When Zhu Qi led his army to attack Liaodong, he landed from Lushun, so it took two or three days to go from Lushun to Liaoyang.

But now the entire Liaodong is under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chuanqi thought of Liaodong,

There is no need to go there.

Lead the fleet directly into Liaodong Bay,

If you log in to Yingkou and arrive in Liaoyang, you don’t even need half a day.

Calculate the time, Wang Chuanqi arrived in Liaoyang, and he should have been rushing over on the way.

Zhu Qi was not too verbally speaking, and immediately led his civil servants and military generals, but in fact, there were not many people, so he left Liaoyang City to welcome Wang Xuanqi.

I don’t know, but I thought Wang Xuanqi had won a big victory outside and returned after winning.

Other civil officials and military officials could not understand it, but Zhu Qi knew very well that Wang Xuanxi's achievements were definitely no less than a great victory.

Moreover, the name of Wang Zhiqi will definitely be recorded in history in the future, as the first person in history to discover the American continent.

To be honest, if he hadn't been such a noble identity as the King of Liao and could not have been able to get away, Zhu Qi even wanted to lead a fleet to explore the American continent and leave a name for himself.

Of course, this is something I think about. Even if I am not the King of Liao, I cannot go to the American continent.

What I sent back before was only the seeds from the American continent, and they were delivered to Zhu Qi as soon as possible.

Now, Wang Chuanqi has also returned to Liaoyang, obviously explaining his position clearly from the government and court, and has also handed over to Jack Ma.

After seeing His Highness the King of Liao, Wang Chuanqi's eyes turned red.

"Your Highness of the King of Liao! I am lucky to be unfair to my fate!"

Zhu Qi also had a happy expression on his face, and immediately pulled Wang Zhuqi up and said:

"Okay, okay! General Wang has really made an unparalleled contribution to my Ming Dynasty!"

When the other civil officials and military generals heard His Highness Liao's words, they felt strange. The king's legend just took the ship outside and found some small islands, how could he achieve great success?

There is nothing about the American continent, except that Zhu Qi mentioned it slightly to Zhu Di, but he never said anything outside.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know about the American continent. This king's legend was able to arrive in America from the Bering Strait according to his oral route, and sailed along the American coastline for a period of time.

Having traded with local indigenous peoples, isn’t such a contribution a lifetime?

You should know that the resources of the American continent are very rich, and China's geographical location is actually more superior than that of the Western continent.

At least there is a theoretical land route from China to America, but from the Western world to America, it can only be sailed.

If China discovers the American continent before the Western world and controls the resources there, the development trajectory of the Age of Discovery will be greatly changed.

However, the Black Triangle Trade made its fortune by taking advantage of the great navigation.

Of course, it was impossible for our Ming Dynasty to do such a bloody and dark thing. In terms of manpower, the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of all.

What is lacking is technology and technology, as well as a massive amount of resources.

Now, the route of technology and technology is supported by Zhu Qi, the helmman.

The Ming Dynasty itself had a lot of resources, and now it has the American continent, this undeveloped new world, let alone!

However, the development of the Americas still requires the consideration of the matter of developing the Americas until the Yuan Dynasty is completely defeated and the surrounding countries has stabilized the environment. The Ming Dynasty has no extra troops to send to the Americas.

With the addition of Wang Zhuqi, it was also a great thing for Zhu Qi.

After all, Wang Chuanqi is very experienced in naval command.

And he was also very brave in combat, and he had followed him to fight a battle in the Bohai Sea.

If you really break up with Goryeo, then the navy duel will definitely be held.

With the King of Legends, Zhu Qi had another ace in his hand. As long as he could defeat Goryeo's navy at sea and impose a blockade on Goryeo on the sea, it would be equivalent to winning half of the battle for the Ming Dynasty.

You know, the coastline of Goryeo is very long.

Not only that, its territory is also very narrow and long. No matter where the capital is set, it will not be too far from the sea.

As long as his Ming navy can control the coastline, he can log in wherever he wants.

After welcoming Wang Chuanqi, Zhu Qi did not say anything and immediately invited him to the Liao Palace.

It's a singing and dancing performance, and a delicacy of wine and banquets. Anyway, all kinds of enjoyment are arranged.

At the banquet, I also asked about the detailed experience of Wang Chuanqi's adventure this time.

Although Wang Chuanqi had already written all the detailed stories in his letters before, he wrote them very detailedly.

But face-to-face chat is even more immersive.

Zhu Qi heard him say that when he passed by the Jurchen tribe, he was welcomed by the Jurchen again, and even invited the crew to participate in local festivals, etc.

Such things are like dancing by the bonfire with everyone, and then I heard Wang Chuanqi say that he had to stop in the harbor when encountering wind and waves on the sea.

Zhu Qi seemed to have experienced the ups and downs with everyone.

And these are just ordinary things. When Wang Zhiqi said that he arrived at the Bering Strait, it was autumn and winter, and the Bering Strait was covered with white ice cover.

As King Zhu Qi of Liao said before, the places that were originally sea have now become ice sheets.

Wang Xuanqi prepared very well this time, whether it was food or cold-proof items, or even various sleds on the ship.

In front, the expedition team was arranged to use dogs to pull sleds to explore the road, while the ships behind were slowly moving along the ice cap.

With the prompts of the land path exploration troops, the sea troops were also in danger and crossed the ice-capped area.

After arriving on the American continent, I saw a series of islands.

Behind this large island, there is a land that is at a loss and endless.

Zhu Qi had already relied on his memory to draw a rough coastline map for Wang Zhiqi.

So this time, Wang Chuanqi took his navy troops and walked along the coastline while mapping the map, comparing the maps drawn to him by His Royal Highness the Liao Dynasty.

Wang Chuanqi was also surprised to find that the map given to him by His Highness the King of Liao was extremely accurate, and even some places he had not found were marked clearly.

After hearing this, Zhu Qi was also amazed.

I originally thought that the modern map of America would be very different from the map of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty were very different from those in modern times.

But unexpectedly, in this world, there is no difference between the coastline of America and the modern coastline.
