Chapter 297 Provocation
In the city of Goryeo, spring is approaching, and the streets are filled with wine shops full of Ming Dynasty characteristics. There are more high-end ones, with gorgeous decorations. In addition to regular meals and drinking, there are also entertainment activities such as storytelling, opera, singing, dancing, and accompanying wine.
There are also relatively affordable prices. Apart from eating and drinking, there may be only stories and Korean women who accompany you to drink.
There are also many pedestrians in the city wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, and the signs on the streets are full of Chinese characters. The Ming people who came to Nanjing for the first time may think they are still in China. Even the locals who have been in Nanjing for a long time will be amazed at the Ming Dynasty style of Nanjing.
All this started since the old year. With the arrival of Ming merchants, Nanjing City became more and more like the Ming City city. Especially the existence of troops garrisoned in the city has greatly increased the average consumption level of Nanjing City.
Unfortunately, such a good business opportunity is not a good match for most Korean people! Except for those with power, most ordinary merchants cannot compete with Ming Dynasty merchants with policy support. Therefore, they can only act as agents of Ming Dynasty merchants, responsible for helping sell Ming Dynasty merchants or helping run commercial banks. The real big head was all earned by Ming Dynasty merchants.
Then when it was sent back to the Ming Dynasty, the government took away a commission by using the position of the Mongol Yuan's legal currency, greatly enriching the source of income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury.
At present, in Xifeng Tower in Nanjing, the Goryeo court officials were smiling, and they were pleasing to the top of the head with glasses of wine. As the deputy governor of the Northern Army, the leader of the Goryeo garrison and the head of the Wanhu, he entered Nanjing in the old year.
In the Goryeo country, where all the dynasties were labeled as slaves in the Ming Dynasty, he was considered the Supreme Emperor. Even if the Goryeo king who was imprisoned in Shangjing came back, he could not threaten his power and status.
It is precisely because of this that these Korean court officials pleased him like pugs.
But today, these people's smiles are a little more real.
"This glass of wine is for the people of the people to respect the heads of thousands of households! In this bitter and cold place in our country, the heads of thousands of households can be regarded as the bitterness and sweetness. But after returning to the place where flowers are blooming in Shangjing, I hope that the heads of thousands of households can speak for us, those of the Ming Dynasty who are interested in the Ming Dynasty." Park Hyo-sung, represented the Zhongming School, used the face of a loyal servant, toasted the Heihu.
"Since you were in charge of the Goryeo government, you have many rebels and troubled, but you have also fulfilled your duties and paid tribute. This time, the people's livelihood in Shandong Province in our country is really difficult. As long as you can pay tribute in advance, our garrison may not be sacked." Bo Heihu Ayi pointed out.
"Removal? The commander of Wanhu, this garrison must not be sacked! If there are rebels causing trouble again, what should I do?" Park Hyo-sung also counted on the garrison to support himself! After all, he was still a little confident in the face of conservative officials headed by Choi Yu-gong.
It is also the current situation in Goryeo, which is indeed not good. Those officials who are interested in Goryeo are also dissatisfied with Park Hyo-sung who is dedicated to fascinating the Ming Dynasty. If there were no troops, there might be rebels emerging from Nanjing one day.
"Didn't this general train a new army for you? A mere thief, 20,000 new troops are enough to deal with it." Tuoheihua said disapprovingly. The new army was trained by Tuoheihua, and the generals inside were all drawn from the Goryeo garrison. They had previously followed the garrison to suppress the rebellion. Although the combat effectiveness could not be up to the Ming Dynasty, it was still enough to deal with those mobs who did not even have weapons in Goryeo.
This time the garrison retreated north, the new army will also be returned to Goryeo. It is enough to maintain the stability of the ground.
When Park Hyo-sung heard this, he felt less guilty. With the protection of the army, he was no longer so afraid of the conservative officials.
"Chief Wanhu, I wonder who will lead the new army?" Cui Yugong suddenly raised his glass and asked.
"Shandsman Cui, what do you mean? As the Minister of War, this new army will naturally be led by this official." As if he was stepped on his tail, Park Hyo-sung immediately responded fiercely.
"Park Shangshu's words are wrong. Nowadays, Goryeo seems to be full of flowers, but there are still many rebellious people who are not angry. In the past, there were rebels who are rebellious and rebellious, and in the later days, there were thieves in Luozhou who killed officials and made food. Although they have been pacified, there are still a small group of thieves hiding in the mountains, forests and wilderness, and often gathering people to cause trouble. New troops like the New Army are naturally handed over to those who know soldiers and soldiers. Cui Shangshu has been in charge of the troops for many years, and it is a place for everyone to hope to take charge of the New Army!" Zhang Fengxian, a doctor of Chinese studies, spoke up for Cui Yugong.
He is the mouthpiece of the conservatives and is very dissatisfied with the current trend of Minghua in Goryeo. Although Chinese language has long been the elegant language of Goryeo officials and nobles, it is particularly terrifying when the entire Goryeo starts to speak Chinese language and forgets the local language of Goryeo.
These top people don’t like to say the same words as those mud legs that are nothing. Elegant Chinese language has become less elegant.
"Park Shangshu is also a veteran who has led troops for many years. Dr. Zhang's words are really biased. I think that Dr. Zhang is thinking about Cui Shangshu's army. Could it be that he has an unspeakable purpose? I heard that the Luozhou thief who emerged a few months ago had passed by Dr. Zhang's ancestors' home, and this inside made people think deeply?"
Looking at the wine table, the two factions of Goryeo started to fight each other, and Huo A was in a great mood.
This time, the court did not really let him retreat north. Instead, he left Nanjing so that those officials who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty would come out to cause trouble.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is different from the local regime that was not justified before! In war, it is necessary to be justified. If Goryeo always respects, then the Ming Dynasty really can't find a reason to attack.
Now there is Suogong in front and then withdrawing troops. The knife pressing on Goryeo's head is gone at once. Maybe someone has really picked it out to get rid of the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
This is exactly in line with the wishes of Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, through this war, Goryeo was swallowed in one bite. I couldn't consider whether I would be over. As long as I could squeeze out all the money and grain of Goryeo and raise enough relief grain for the victims of Shandong Province, it would be a great achievement. In addition, it could also wipe out the road blocking stone of Goryeo and provide assistance to the Ming Dynasty to intimidate Japan.
