Please ask me to be the emperor

Denglai Navy Admiral Huang Sunmao stayed in Dongjiang for only one night and left early the next morning.

To be honest, when he left, looking at Shen Shikui's dark old face, he felt happy.

Dongjiang is a love-hate existence for Denglai.

If there were no Dongjiang, then Denglai would not be able to take a share of this feast.

However, due to the existence of Dongjiang, Denglai was always exploited in this feast.

Huang Sunmao still clearly remembers that the first time he "smuggled private goods", when he was trading on Pi Island, he was stunned by Shen Shikui who confiscated 347 two-thirds-four centimeters of silver. Thinking about it still feels painful.

Now that it was finally possible to bypass the Dongjiang River, why didn't he show off?

However, he also knew that this matter could happen again, but not twice, and he would still be unable to bypass Dongjiang in the future.

Huang Sunmao then smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Shen. This matter is the king's order. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely have to trouble Mr. Shen!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say that business cannot be done with justice. Shen is not a narrow-minded person!" Shen Shikui didn't believe his rhetoric at all, but he still said conceitedly.

How could Huang Sunmao have imagined that after this experience, this guy would overreact and prepare to destroy himself?

When he saw that there was no strange color on Shen Shikui's face, he left with satisfaction.

It was only sixty miles from Phi Island to the rocky mountains of Pyongyang, and the rebel fleet arrived there in only half a day.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea sent official Li Min and others to wait outside.

After a brief contact, the two sides agreed to keep the merchants here for one day of trading, while Huang Sunmao and a group of his confidants went to Pyongyang to meet with the North Korean King Li Zhu.

It was only a day's journey from Shiduoshan to Pyongyang. On the second day, Huang Sunmao met the King of North Korea.

After meeting each other, Huang Sunmao asked: "His Highness has come all the way from afar and is full of sincerity, so why should he follow Hu Ye?"

At this time, the capital of North Korea was Seoul, which was later known as Seoul.

King Li Zhu specially rushed to Pyongyang from Seoul, which shows how much he attaches importance to Huang Sunmao.

Of course, this is not because the Korean kings Li Zhu and Huang Sunmao have a good personal relationship, but because the Korean nation, which has been repeatedly bullied by Hou Jin, urgently needs the help of the "Ming Dynasty" to get rid of the control of Hou Jin.

Sure enough, when Li Jie heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Please forgive me, angel. Our Korean soldiers are weak and have been repeatedly bullied by barbarians, so we have no choice but to endure hardships."

"I already know His Highness's thoughts, and I will report to His Highness King Shun truthfully!" Huang Sunmao then smiled.

"However, it may be difficult to calm His Highness King Shun's anger with empty words."

"Uh." Li Zhu understood that "Angel" was going to impose conditions, and he quickly responded, "I wonder what Angel has to say?"

"Now His Royal Highness King Shun has sent troops to fight against the Donglu, and he will win consecutive battles and defeat them again." Denglai Navy Admiral Huang Sunmao couldn't help laughing.

"Now that Guangning, Liaoyang, Jinzhou and other places have been recovered, those people can only survive in Shenyang, Tieling, and Jianzhou."

"If your Highness is serious, you should mobilize a large army and go north to establish a state to help me, so that you can live up to the name of your vassal!"

"This" Li Zhu hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but stammered, "Hu Chou from the East is just a clown in the Celestial Empire, but in our country of Korea, he is a giant."

"As the saying goes: a hundred-footed insect dies but does not freeze. Even if the barbarians are still lingering now, how can a small country like mine be able to compete?"

"Then the king means that he doesn't want to send troops anymore?" Huang Sunmao's eyes became dangerous.

"Ah? I don't dare, I don't dare!" When Li Zhu heard this, he quickly responded, "What I mean is, can I join forces with Mr. Shen to leave Yizhou and return to Fenghuang City, Kuandian and other places?"

It turns out that the area around Hetuala, Weihe, where Li Zhu was in Jianzhou, was where the headquarters of the Donglu were located. If North Korea rashly sent troops here, it would probably be a waste of money.

In this case, why not join forces with Shen Shikui of Dongjiang to attack Fenghuang City, Kuandian, Yongdian, Kuoyang and other places.

It turns out that these places are in the area west and north of Yiju, North Korea, and far away from Shenyang, Jianzhou and other places. Now they are the weakest points of Hou Jin's military strength.

If this place can be captured, it will not only weaken Houjin's strength, but also connect with Liaoyang from land.

"No, no, not here!" Unexpectedly, Denglai Navy Admiral Huang Sunmao refused when he heard this.

"Phoenix City and Kuandian and other places are just trivial details and should not be made so grand. Only the old city of Hetuala in Jianzhou is the confidant of the Donglu. If it can be defeated in one fell swoop, the Donglu will be defeated in one fell swoop. Death."

"But 'Angel', our country, North Korea, is poor and weak, how can we cope with such a powerful enemy?" King Li Zhu of North Korea almost cried.

Aren't you forcing things on others?

If we could really defeat the Donglu, would our country, Korea, suffer from continuous disasters, causing me to kowtow and bow to the Hulu of Hongtana?

Huang Sunmao pressed for another long time, but saw that Li Zhu didn't respond at all. Other officials of the Korean state also defended themselves, and then they realized that the entire Korean state really couldn't do this.

However, he was unwilling to give in.

Do you know why he wanted to force the Korean monarchs and ministers to send troops to establish a state?

It turns out that in addition to the sea route, there is also a land route from North Korea to China.

The road leads from Yizhou, Korea, to Liaoyang via Zhenjiang, Tangzhanbao, Fenghuangcheng, Zhendongbao, Zhenyibao, Lianshanguan and Tianshui Station, and then from Liaoyang to Haizhou and Niuzhuang to the capital.

Its journey is less than two thousand miles, and there is no pain of wandering at sea or the risk of sinking.

Therefore, before Hou Jin blocked the road, this had always been the standard route for North Korean tribute and the route for trade between the two countries.

Now Zhang Sanbai has opened up the line from Guangning, Haizhou to Liaoyang.

If the line from Yiju, Phoenix City to Liaoyang is opened up, then the land transportation from North Korea to the capital will be completely restored.

Once land transportation is restored, not to mention Denglai Town, even Dongjiang Town will lose this lucrative trade route.

This is the fundamental reason why Huang Sunmao repeatedly proposed that North Korea send troops to establish a state, but instead sent troops to Phoenix City.

This is also the fundamental reason why North Korea would rather send troops to Phoenix City, but firmly opposes sending troops to establish a state.

One plan is very profitable, and the other is unprofitable. Only individuals know how to choose.

"Let's do this." Huang Sunmao pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Since your country is unable to go to the hinterland of Jianzhou, when I return to the capital, I beg His Highness King Shun to grant you some supplies and equipment, and then we can make plans."

"This... this will help you 'Angel'!" Upon hearing this, the North Korean monarchs and ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but exclaimed with great joy.

It turns out that although the North Korean country is submissive, it also has many small thoughts.

For this reason, the Ming Dynasty has been controlling strategic materials such as saltpeter, sulfur, and horns, and has not allowed North Korea to purchase them.

If the "Ming Dynasty" relaxes this time, it may not be a bad thing for North Korea.

As for the section from Phoenix City to Liaoyang, it’s just one day earlier and one day later.

Once the "Ming Army" takes over Liaodong, the road to recovery will eventually be restored.
