"So, Wei Liangchen has arrived in North Korea?"

Wanli, who was on the hospital bed, smiled for the first time after hearing Zhang Cheng's report, "This kid is quite a bit conscientious."

Zhang Cheng neither praised nor refuted this.

Regarding Wei Liangchen, Eunuch Zhang was worried. Some things that others don’t know, but how can Eunuch Zhang not know?

But the more clearly this is, the more panicked he feels. Especially since the Emperor's condition has not improved at all. If the Emperor is gone one day and the Eastern Palace has ascended the foundation, how will Wei Liangchen end?

If you make a fuss, it’s better to be like him, Eunuch Zhang!

The Imperial Concubine is here too, and she is watching the fire alone.

If the imperial concubine also spent all her time on her husband's illness, she did everything herself, and even watched the imperial concubine boiling and decocting medicine. This really touched Wanli, and she felt more and more guilty about her previous thought of the imperial concubine assaulting the prince.

Because he was not a minister from the emperor who saw the outside court, the imperial concubine did not avoid it.

As the medicine smelled, Wanli suddenly sighed and said, "Li Hui has always blamed me, but I can't blame me for what happened back then."

"You can't blame the emperor." Zhang Cheng said.

When North Korea asked Li Hui to establish a prince, Wanli agreed, because Li Hui showed his talent in the battle against the Japanese, but because he was the second son, the court was also in trouble because of the indiscriminate dispute. The Ministry of Rites could not agree to North Korea's bad intentions for establishing the second son as the crown prince. Therefore, the fact that Li Hui succeeded to the throne was affected by the dispute over the Ming Dynasty's foundation, and it was not that Wanli disagreed.

However, the Ming Dynasty finally recognized the legitimacy of Li Hui's succession and also appointed him as the King of Korea, so Li Hui should no longer hold a grudge against the Ming Dynasty.

However, all signs indicate that Li Hui, the Korean king, was still hostile to the Ming Dynasty. After he ascended the throne, he did not obey the Ming Dynasty in many matters, and he acted on his own, and put aside the house arrest of the Jin family in Yan'an without authorization, which made Wanli really unable to have a good impression of Li Hui.

This also indirectly led Wei Liangchen to privately lead his army to North Korea to demand so-called war reparations, Wanli rarely put aside the face of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Dynasty and expressed his consent.

It can be regarded as a little bit of a blow to Li Hui.

If it were Li Hui's father, Wanli would not have been so despised.

Zhang Cheng continued: "The secret report from Emperor and Wei Liangchen said that the North Korean side has unconditionally agreed to join the coalition forces against slavery and voluntarily bear all the fees required by the coalition forces."

“What voluntary?”

Wanli laughed, "He just relied on my personal army to support him, and it was also pretending to be my power. Otherwise, North Korea would have listened to him like this? Huh? What coalition forces?"

Zhang Cheng quickly read Wei Liangchen's secret memorial to the emperor, which said that Wei Liangchen had contacted North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Annan and other eight countries to form a coalition force to attack the rebels in Jianzhou.

"Our dynasty will quell the civil strife, why do we need any coalition forces? What is Wei Liangchen doing?" Wanli was a little unhappy. The Ming Dynasty quelled the civil strife but created an Eight-Nation Alliance. Isn't this a joke for the vassal states to see the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the secret report and said, "Wei Liangchen said that these countries are all vassals of our Ming Dynasty. When vassals are in trouble, the sect leader will save them. If the sect leader has something to do, the sect subordinates should do their best. What is this called having come and going? It is said that only when we give together the things in the world can we make friendship and strengthen the foundation forever. If only one-sided efforts will be made, the relationship between the two countries will never be truly maintained."

“What I said makes sense,”

Wanli thought of the matter of Wei Liangchen and him complaining about North Korea's compensation for the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty. If something happened to this vassal, it would rely on the free assistance of the Ming Dynasty, but the vassals ignored it if there was any problem with the Ming Dynasty. If there was any problem, how many assets would the Ming Dynasty have worth consuming?

And don’t you just look like a fool who can make money at any time?

"But what kind of Spanish country, the Netherlands, and when will the Portuguese country become our vassal of the Ming Dynasty?"

Wanli was a little surprised. The Ministry of Rites had already mobilized many troops, so there was no movement at all. I immediately felt funny. It was probably because of Wei Liangchen himself who had troubled the matter of face, so he did not ask in depth.

As long as he can lead the emperor's personal army to help Yang Hao eliminate Jiannu, he will be considered a great contribution.

"What happened to the Ministry of War to dispatch troops?"

Wei Liangchen, who was far away in Japan, led his army to North Korea, and Wanli also had to figure out the situation in this area of ​​China.

But Zhang Cheng said: "Emperor, only Xuanda, Shanxi and other towns have set off, and other groups are still preparing for the construction."

Wanli was angry when he heard this and said angrily: "My decree has been issued for more than a month, but the towns have been slow to handle it. What is the point of being safe? Zhang Cheng, pass on my decree to Yang Hao. If any general or subordinates do not obey orders, they can do it according to military law and be executed immediately!"

After Zhang Cheng went to issue the imperial edict, the imperial concubine came to serve her husband with the decocted medicine. She mentioned in her words that since Wei Liangchen had asked the North Korean country to fully support the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion, would she give her a formal identity so that she could better coordinate the coalition forces?

"What identity is given?"

Wanli thought about the issue raised by the imperial concubine. Wei Liangchener is now the official identity of the admiral maritime eunuch and the governor of Jiangnan. These two inner court positions cannot interfere with Liaodong military and North Korean state affairs. Therefore, it is a bit unreasonable to say that the Eight-Nation Alliance that Wei made in North Korea was a bit unreasonable. And after returning to the country, it is not easy to coordinate with the generals of Liaodong.

Yang Hao asked to call on the imperial army of Wei Liangchen to return to the country in order to have a troops that can be commanded easily. If the imperial army cannot coordinate with the various troops from Liaodong, then the original intention of returning to the country would be a distorted.

Wanli was wondering if he could give Wei Liangchen a position as a military eunuch, but this military eunuch could only supervise all the troops and horses, and it was impossible to supervise the entire army. This was the ancestral system. Even Wang Zhi of the Chenghua Dynasty could not have been able to supervise the army, but where to supervise?

Just as he was in trouble, the imperial concubine said, "According to my opinion, it would be better to be appointed as the governor of Liaodong. In this way, he has the right to watch the Liaodong affairs. All soldiers and generals should also give him the governor of this governor, and Yang Hao can also explain it."

Wanli nodded, thinking that the imperial concubine had a good idea. There was no eunuch in Liaodong, but now everything is urgent. As long as it can solve the problem, it doesn't matter if you give it another one.

He immediately ordered the eunuch to write an edict to hand it out.

According to the eunuchs in the garrison, in the Liaodong, the grade of bento is the fourth highest rank in the inner court and can be awarded the red robe.

On the other hand, the emperor urged him to go down, and the soldiers and generals from all towns rushed to Shanhaiguan by obediently, but new problems arose.

After Yang Hao's inspection, only the Marin troops gathered at Shanhaiguan in each town and selected the soldiers and generals from the other towns. The quality of the officers and soldiers brought by the soldiers and generals was uneven, and some were even old and weak soldiers, so where could they participate in the war?

The matter was reported to Wanli again, and Wanli had to issue another strict order, ordering the governors and officials of various places to strictly order the officials of each town to select elite soldiers and horses to arrive at the Liao border. If there are still elderly and weak people who make up for their numbers and falsely register their quotas, those who cannot stay will be dealt with more severely.

Finally, after several months of delay, the various soldiers and generals planned by the Ministry of War arrived in Liaodong.
