After envoys went abroad, they represented the country and the emperor. Even being slighted was an insult to the country and the emperor. It was an unforgivable act of war to openly kill envoys.
Liu Bu was shocked to see such a situation.
Liu Buhe was thinking, did the North Korean kings and ministers get kicked in the head by a donkey? Would you give such an excuse to the Chinese Empire?
It is reasonable to say that they have no reason to do so. 10000 people should not do so, but they did so, and they did it so hard and so absolutely, leaving no room.
Liu Bu was shocked. He put down the military newspaper and said, "there is no doubt that this is the act of war?"
Liu Yuanqiao also said, "I will never allow anyone to offend the authority of the Chinese Empire and the emperor. Now I'm very curious about why the Korean monarchs and officials did this?"
North Korea's geographical location determines that it has no way to compete with the Chinese Empire. It can only be a subsidiary of the Central Plains Dynasty. It can be said that as long as it is willing to give him the status of a vassal state, basically he will not make trouble.
Now, after the subjugation of Daming, he still regarded Daming as orthodox, refused to recognize the Chinese Empire, and openly killed the envoys of the Chinese Empire. There is no room for this.
Since the Koreans have done so well, Liu's father and son have nothing to think of, and they have no choice. This is war, this is the act of war.
Only one thing surprised their father and son. Why did the other party do this? It gave the Chinese Empire an excuse to go to war, a big, once-in-a-lifetime reason.
North Korea has always been subject to the Daming Dynasty, and was promised by the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang as a non levy country and a brotherly state forever.
But this is Daming, not the Chinese Empire. For the Chinese Empire, he has a new positioning for North Korea, but he won't be able to deal with them for a while.
Moreover, as far as the current situation of the Chinese empire is concerned, the problem of North Korea is not urgent and needs to be solved urgently.
Liu Bu said, "could someone from the security bureau do it?"
Although Zhou Hui is their subordinate, it is difficult to guarantee that he will make some small moves.
Liu Yuanqiao thought for a moment. He said, "Zhou Hui has no such courage without authorization."
It can be generally said that the North Korean monarchs and officials openly killed the envoys of the Chinese Empire, did not cause any substantive harm to the Chinese Empire, but only hit the Chinese Empire in the face.
This is not very hurtful and insulting. There is no room for peace between the two sides.
In fact, they did so, but they gave Liu Yuanqiao, an ambitious careerist, a great excuse. With such a reason, even if the officials in the court were conservative, they had no choice but to support sending troops to war.
At this time, other officials arrived one after another. They didn't know what was going on.
But after reading the military newspaper, they were shocked, and their expressions were no different from those of Liu's father and son.
Qian Qianyi, in particular, almost fainted when he saw such a military newspaper.
Thanks to Liu Yuanqiao's early preparation, he ordered the imperial doctor to wait beside him and prepared the ginseng soup. Seeing that he was wrong, he immediately ordered the imperial doctor to serve him and drink the ginseng soup.
Qian Qianyi did not expect that he was urgently called in the middle of the night. It was the news that his second son was killed. It was too cruel. He was heartbroken and burst into tears. He knelt down on the spot and cried, "emperor, you have to decide for the old minister!"
At this time, Qian Qianyi was angry and regretful. You know, he decided to send his second son to North Korea to announce his decree. The main thing is to mix up a good job. As a result, he sent his son to death, white haired people to black haired people, or himself. What embarrasses him?
All the ministers were also very angry. The hand of the North Korean monarchs and ministers was a slap in the face and a merciless insult to the Chinese Empire.
The great gods had no other opinion. They all shouted to fight and kill. They had no choice but to send troops to destroy them.
If such things can be tolerated, it is not a shrinking turtle.
Even now, the Chinese Empire has just been established, there are still many difficulties, but all people ignore these things and, no doubt, directly clamor for war.
When Liu Bu saw Zhou Hui coming, he asked Zhou Hui. He said, "there is no reason for North Korean monarchs and officials to do this. Why are they like this? There must be demons when things happen. What's the view of the security bureau?"
Zhou Hui saw everyone staring at himself and understood what was in everyone's mind. It is estimated that many people were thinking whether the National Security Bureau was planning and looking for a reason for the high-level to go to war.
Zhou Hui hurriedly said: "The Security Bureau has not taken any action in this regard, but has routinely sent some spies to monitor the trend of the DPRK. We believe that it should be the people close to Zhu Ming in the DPRK. Since the chaos of c-zi, many people in the DPRK also tend to build slaves. Whether they are close to Zhu Ming or slaves, they have reason to do such a thing, As long as this step is taken, North Korea will not be able to form an alliance with the Chinese Empire. "
Zhou Hui made such an analysis. Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Bu are not unusual. They think it should be so.
Otherwise, the North Korean monarchs and officials have no reason to do such a thing. Even if their heads are kicked by a donkey and their heads are pinched by a door, they can't do such a thing. Except for these extremists, they can't do anything else.
Liu Yuanqiao was determined to bring North Korea into the territory of his Chinese Empire.
The previous dynasties were not interested because the court believed that North Korea was a barren land, tasteless food and regrettable abandonment. It was not worth using troops on a large scale and consuming too much strength here.
But Liu Yuanqiao is different. He was born on the Jiaodong Peninsula. His hometown is very close to North Korea across the sea. Moreover, he is also an emperor who pays attention to maritime rights and interests and vowed to extend his imperial power to the sea.
Liu Yuanqiao knows what is the era of great navigation, the strength of the Spanish Empire, and who is called the sea coachman. He can clearly distinguish the differences between several East Indian companies. The ocean is the largest treasure house. The Xiban Empire brought back a large amount of silver from distant America, and the Huaxia Empire should also join the ranks in this regard.
Therefore, they must build the absolute national defense line of the Chinese Empire.
In his eyes, the status of North Korea, Japan and other places has become important.
North Korea did such a fierce thing that the Empire had no choice but to send troops to fight, but now it gives them a headache.
Although the Chinese Empire has a large number of troops, they also use the limit. They use troops everywhere and fight everywhere, which means that they don't have enough troops to deal with the enemy, and the funds are also a problem.
Before the war of the Chinese Empire, it was to rob rich places, which can be supplemented. However, it is hard to say that it may not be able to get compensation from North Korea, which is a poor place. Think of the war of North Korea, the three great expeditions of Wanli, which lasted seven years, but spent nearly 7 million, which made the imperial court miserable.
After Liu Yuanqiao decided to fight, he immediately asked the Minister of household. How much silver can he transfer?
There is no doubt that the war was fought with money and food. At the beginning, the Chinese Empire accumulated a lot of money and did not worry about money. But now it is different. It has won the world. The stalls are big and money is used everywhere. Every place asked him for money, and the pressure suddenly increased.
Liu Fuqi, the Minister of household, frowned and said, "I really can't afford it now. The deposit of the Treasury is not enough to support a large-scale war. I have to wait until the tax in the coming year."
When Liu Fuqi said this, Liu Yuanqiao had no accident. The Treasury had no money. He knew very clearly in his heart.
On the contrary, the command department has enough troops to fight. He can dispatch a unit from all the troops to attack the DPRK, but if there is not enough money and grain, there is not enough logistic material supply, nor is it a way to fight.
It is estimated that the opposition in North Korea thinks so. This will be the case. When the Chinese Army loses a lot of troops, money and food, and the division elders have no merit, they will choose to negotiate with them. At that time, they will push a few more to come out for the dead, and the matter can be settled.
Even in the eyes of ambitious families such as Liu Yuanqiao, there are such concerns. North Korea and China have always been vassal relations. They are likely to take this opportunity to get rid of the control of the China Turkey imperial dynasty and no longer accept the canonization of the China Turkey imperial dynasty. Instead, they exist as an independent country, and then encroach on the land of Liaodong in China and participate in the world hegemony.
Of course, the Li royal family is too weak to deal with JianNu, and it is even more impossible to touch the land of Middle Earth. However, it is indeed possible to take the opportunity to be independent and break away from the control of Middle Earth.
At this time, Liu Yuanqiao asked a very key question: "which general is willing to go to North Korea for me?"
When Liu Yuanqiao asked, Liu Zhongyong immediately said, "I'm willing to go."
As soon as Liu Buluo pondered, he said, "if there is a need, it is incumbent upon him."
In fact, there were only two generals and two commander-in-chief. They said so in response to Liu Yuanqiao's questions.
In fact, neither of them is suitable for leading troops.
As the newly appointed commander of the Ministry of national defense, Liu Zhongyong is not familiar with his business. He wants to manage the troops of the whole country and control the battlefield of the whole country. Where does he have time to fight in North Korea?
As the crown prince, Liu Bu is the foundation of the country. There can be no mistakes, and it is impossible to go to war easily, so they are not suitable.
Liu Yuanqiao thought about it and thought it was inappropriate.
At this time, Zheng Zhibao, Prince of Fujian, led several generals of the Navy Department to arrive one after another, and they all scrambled to fight.
This brightened Liu Yuanqiao's eyes.
