After the court session, the cabinet led by Liu Jian began to draft a denunciation.
This denunciation was polished by Liu Jian and the others. Even Zhu Youtang felt a little embarrassed when he saw it.
The country had been oppressed by the barbarians for decades, and after the rebellion at Tumu Fortress, Jian Nu and North Korea had been rude and unreasonable to the country, and the people at the border had been tortured.
That was why the dynasty sent troops to Xiandao to suppress Jianu and North Korea.
Zhu Youtang could understand Liu Jian's good intentions.
In the past two years, Zhu Youtang had launched two wars to destroy the country, killing hundreds of officials.
In the eyes of others, Zhu Youtang was too cold and heartless.
Liu Jian was trying to help Zhu Youtang regain his reputation.
It had to be said that the cabinet of the Hongzhi Dynasty was really respectful to the emperor from the bottom of their bones!
……
At the same time.
In the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula.
Slave Jian and North Korea were already fighting fiercely, and the island was covered in blood, broken limbs, and broken armor.
Just as the two sides were fighting.
The cannons of the Great Ming Navy suddenly aimed at Xiayu Island.
Qi Jingtong stood on the Battleship Mountain and watched from afar with his Thousand Mile Mirror.
Although it was called a telescope, it was only a prototype at this time. It was not very useful on the battlefield.
The real telescope would only be invented during the Wanli era.
When Qi Jingtong was sure that the battle situation on Xixia Island was almost over, Qi Jingtong opened fire.
Nearly 30 cannons began to bombard the island.
Then, the Great Ming Infantry landed from the sea and started a one-sided massacre.
……
When the news reached North Korea.
The King of the Li Family was already scared out of his wits. While he was shocked, he also fiercely condemned the shamelessness of the Great Ming Emperor.
But other than submitting to Da Ming, he had no other choice.
North Korea could mobilize 700,000 soldiers, and almost all of them had been sent to Xiayu Island.
There were still more than six million people in the country, but these people simply could not organize a large-scale army.
For this reason, the King of North Korea's Li family quickly sent several envoys to set off at night and headed straight for the Ming Dynasty. They also sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to ask the Ming Emperor to give North Korea a chance of survival.
……
On the other hand, Aisin Gioro's wishful thinking had all failed.
Yun Shan had never expected that this island would become Slave Jian's grave. He had originally intended to migrate the Banner People to Xixia Island in search of a chance at survival!
If they continued to live in Liaodong and obediently submit to the Ming Dynasty and admit their mistakes, even if the Ming Emperor was not satisfied, there was no reason to send troops to destroy the country.
If that was the case, his Aisin Gioro Clan would still have Xin Huo left in the mortal world.
But when he defected to Xiayu Island, his mood changed completely!
After breaking away from the rule of the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire had just enough reason to send troops to destroy the country.
He had considered this situation.
In his opinion, the Great Ming Army in Liaodong was not good at naval warfare. As long as he was given a year to develop on the Cloud Island, he would be able to make this place impregnable.
But what he didn't expect was that the Ming Navy was actually so powerful!
It was too late for regrets now.
Da Ming's butcher knife had already begun to swing. There was no more Aisin Gioro in the world!
Zhu Youtang was clearly here for the extermination of the clan!
……
The capital, the court.
Letter after letter of credentials from North Korea were delivered to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
It was obvious that the King of North Korea was completely panicking.
In fact, when the Southeastern Squadron surrounded Kasumi Island and attacked Slaves Jian and North Korea on the island…
The King of North Korea's Li family was already scared out of his wits!
The entire country was cursing Zhu Youtang for finding a point to die! In their view, the reason why Da Ming could be as powerful as he was today was greatly related to the new emperor.
As long as Zhu Youtang died, then the Ming Empire would retreat like before.
Hearing the humble tone of the King of North Korea's Li family, all the officials laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, North Korea has paid a one-time tribute of six million taels of silver. The tribute that was lacking in the past was completed in the third year of Hongzhi.”
The Minister of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, said loudly.
Zhu Youtang nodded. Naturally, Zhu Youtang had not satisfied his appetite with this little tribute.
He didn't want to continue sailing to North Korea.
North Korea's military strength had already been wiped out by Da Ming, and it would take at least three years for them to recover.
Zhu Youtang's military strategy was now focused on the Japanese islands.
"Tell the King of North Korea that the tribute that was originally agreed upon will be increased by ten times after the third year of Hongzhi!”
"From now on, the country will no longer give any gifts to the various kingdoms!”
Tribute was only a way to maintain the relationship between the two countries. In fact, this method was very unfriendly to the country.
Because after the other party paid tribute, as a big country in the Celestial Empire, the Great Ming would give them even more valuable gifts.
This system had always been criticized by people, and it was time to change it.
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!" The Minister of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, shouted.
……
While the court was discussing political affairs.
In the suburbs of Bei Zhili, malaria suddenly broke out and became more and more difficult to control.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine didn't care about this matter at all in the past.
Until today, the number of people infected with malaria in Bei Zhi Li had reached more than six hundred, and it was still expanding.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine was burning with anxiety. He personally left the Imperial Academy of Medicine and ran towards Bei Zhili.
If this matter couldn't be resolved, then the hospital director of the Imperial Academy of Medicine would be done for.
But when he arrived at the outskirts of Bei Zhi Li, he was completely flustered!
In the morning, there were only 600 people infected. By noon, it had spread to more than 1,200 people.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine finally realized that this matter was out of their control.
The headmaster didn't dare to consider whether he could still keep his official position. If he continued to hide it, he was afraid that he would lose his life.
Wiping the sweat off their heads, the members of the Imperial Academy of Medicine immediately ran towards the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
……
At this moment, the court meeting in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute was about to end.
Just as Zhu Youtang was about to announce his retirement.
"Reporting to the emperor, the Imperial Academy of Medicine urgently requests an audience.”
"Xuan!" Zhu Youtang frowned.
Not long after.
The chief physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine crawled into the hall and kowtowed like pounding garlic."Emperor, please calm down."
Zhu Youtang looked at him coldly.”
"What happened?"
The chief of the Imperial Academy of Medicine didn't dare to hide it and told Zhu Youtang about the situation of malaria outside Beizhi.
Zhu Youtang's voice gradually turned cold, and all the officials were silent.
"Liu Jian!"
Liu Jian quickly stepped forward." I'm here."
"What did I tell you a few days ago? Speak!"
Liu Jian's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he stuttered,""The emperor asked this lowly official to control the situation of malaria outside of Bei Zhi Li.”
"What about now?"
Zhu Youtang looked at him indifferently and asked.
"Your Majesty…this humble subject, this humble subject…"
Liu Jian knelt down with a thud.”
Some time ago, Liu Jian had been dealing with foreign wars. He only casually handed the matter of malaria to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and did not ask about it. Who would have thought that in just a few days, malaria would actually break out on a large scale!
