Chapter 489 Expanding Territory
Wang Wenzhou was not in a hurry. There were a thousand female guards inside the post station, and the King of Joseon had sent a general to protect it. No matter how many Joseon people surrounded the post station, there would be no danger.
After getting up, Wang Wenzhou leisurely ate breakfast with the babies.
Chen Yuanyuan was determined to go against Wang Wenzhou and fed the dogs mouth-to-mouth.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed and said irritably, "Yuanyuan, stay away from me from now on. Don't kiss me anymore. I find you disgusting!"
"Husband, how can you do this? I don't mind that you're dirty!" Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly, took a sip of milk, hugged Wang Wenzhou and kissed him.
Wang Wenzhou was both amused and exasperated; he had truly brought this upon himself!
After breakfast, Wang Wenzhou, with his arms around Wang Ying and Li Mei, arrived at the entrance of the post station.
The Korean people protesting outside the post station immediately became noisy.
"Wang Wenzhou, apologize immediately!"
"Wang Wenzhou, the shameless and immoral one, has insulted our great Joseon nation and must apologize!"
Wang Wenzhou turned around and instructed, "Jian Fengyu, bring a chair over. I want to sit and watch the show."
The North Korean people were furious when they saw that Wang Wenzhou not only did not apologize, but instead sat casually in a chair and played with a girl.
Song Heung-ju bowed to the crowd and said passionately, "Why are my eyes filled with tears? Because I love this land beneath my feet so deeply. Great Korea is our motherland, how can we watch our motherland be so humiliated by Wang Wen-ju!"
"No! No!" the crowd shouted, raising their arms.
Song Heung-ju was a young scholar from Korea. Most scholars were patriotic, and Song Heung-ju was no exception. Today, he and his classmates came to denounce Wang Wen-ju, but who knew that Wang Wen-ju would be so shameless as to ignore their request for an apology? So he bravely stood up.
Song Xingzhou shouted, "If Wang Wenzhou doesn't give us an explanation today, we will never give up!"
"Never give up! Never give up!" the crowd shouted in unison.
"Swish!" Song Xingzhou drew his dagger and walked towards Wang Wenzhou.
"Don't come any closer! If you go any further, we'll start shooting arrows!" Jian Fengyu quickly stopped Song Xingzhou, fearing that he might commit violence and harm someone.
Wang Ying kissed Wang Wenzhou and gently advised, "Husband, let's go inside. What if they get agitated if you stay here?"
Wang Wenzhou reached inside the baby's clothes and played with it. He said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of them causing trouble, I'm just afraid they won't cause trouble."
"Husband!" Wang Ying earnestly advised, "You are now an imperial envoy representing the Ming Dynasty. What you are doing will strain relations between our two countries and cause disputes!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed softly, saying helplessly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know this. That idiot Zhu Youjian, once he got some money, he forgot who he is!"
Wang Wenzhou grumbled and said, "The silver was all stolen from me, but he thinks he earned it through his own abilities and believes he has the potential to become a wise ruler."
When Wang Wenzhou mentioned Zhu Youjian, Wang Ying blushed, after all, she had a past with Zhu Youjian. Actually, she hated it when her enemies mentioned Zhu Youjian, but her enemies were completely oblivious and kept bringing him up in front of her.
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "A pig wants to become the king of the forest? What a pipe dream! Do you know what Zhu Youjian is planning?"
Wang Ying shook her head.
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Since ancient times, expanding territory has been something that a wise ruler must do. That idiot Zhu Youjian, before he had even recovered Liaodong, was already eyeing Korea."
"Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, a country that the Taizu Emperor decreed would not be conquered. Zhu Youjian wanted to expand the territory and take over Korea, but he couldn't find a pretext to go to war with Korea. I don't know what he was thinking, sending me on this mission to Korea to incite the Korean people's anger and force Korea to ally with the Tartars. That way, after the Ming Dynasty recovers Liaodong, it can launch a full-scale attack on Korea and turn it into Ming territory," Wang Wenzhou said softly.
"Huh?" Wang Ying and Li Mei were stunned. No wonder their nemesis slapped Li Zong as soon as he saw him. It turned out that their nemesis had come to North Korea to cause trouble.
“Sigh…” Wang Wenzhou sighed and said helplessly, “Besides the fact that girls wear revealing clothes, which is a perk for men, what good is Korea? Korea is full of mountains and the land is barren. The people can’t even get enough to eat. If Korea really becomes part of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but a disaster for them, because the people of the Ming Dynasty will have to support these starving poor devils in Korea.”
Li Mei was a Korean, and a member of the royal family, so of course she did not want Korea to be annexed by the Ming Dynasty.
Li Mei quickly said, "Husband, then why do you still obey the Emperor's decree?"
Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I have no choice in this! Why does Zhu Youjian always flatter and protect me? Isn't it because I can help him with his affairs? If I don't handle this matter well, he will let the Donglin Party destroy me."
"Is Heaven going to destroy my North Korea?" Lee Mei was very sad.
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, hugged Li Mei and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Zhu Youjian is courting death. He's just a pig trying to be a tiger. Although he has great ambitions, he doesn't have the teeth of a tiger. Let alone Korea, he can't even recover Liaodong."
Wang Ying complained, "Husband, since ancient times, loyal ministers have died for their principles, and warriors have died for their country. Why don't you persuade the emperor to rescind his order? How can you do this to the emperor who has been so devoted to you?"
"Oh my god!" Wang Wenzhou was a little angry. He pinched Wang Ying and said irritably, "Sister-in-law, you've gone too far! We've been sleeping together for so long, and Zhu Youjian has already given you to me. Are you still thinking about him?"
"No!" Wang Ying burst into tears. Her enemy had no intention of thinking about Zhu Youjian. He just didn't want her to become a treacherous minister who would be cursed for eternity.
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Don't you know who Zhu Youjian is? That idiot is stubborn and headstrong, as stubborn as a mule. Once he's made up his mind about something, he won't turn back until he hits a brick wall!"
Wang Ying wiped away her tears. The old saying about "enemies" was true. Based on her understanding of Zhu Youjian, he was indeed very stubborn.
Wang Wenzhou said helplessly, "Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is hard to hear. If I were to advise Zhu Youjian, who is so stubborn, the grass on his grave would probably be taller than a person! For a person like him, you can only follow his wishes. Whoever tries to advise him is not his friend."
Wang Wenzhou hugged Wang Ying and kissed her, whispering, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Brother Zhu has been good to me, and I won't be ungrateful. Why did I build this fleet? This fleet is our last resort. Even if Zhu Youjian destroys the Ming Dynasty, I will save him when the city falls. As long as we have the fleet, we can find a place and become local emperors."
Wang Ying frowned. She couldn't understand why Wang Wenzhou always believed that Zhu Youjian would be a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country. Based on her understanding of Zhu Youjian, he was a benevolent and diligent ruler who was also self-disciplined; he could never be the kind of ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country.
