"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." North Korea's leader Jin Yao was happy for a while, but suddenly remembered something, "The king of our country only has a prince, not a princess!"
No? Zhu Youjian was also stunned, what would he do without the princess? Who will inherit the throne of North Korea in the future? Is the royal lineage of more than two hundred years about to be cut off?
This is not possible! I have to give birth to one quickly!
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said sternly: "I can't give birth! The king of North Korea is only in his early 40s this year, so he should still be able to give birth, right? He has now arrived at Ganghwa Island. On Ganghwa Island, there is the Ganghwa Castle built by Yang Hao, which is very solid. , slave thieves and Japanese pirates are not good at attacking and cannot be defeated. Therefore, the king of Joseon can have children on Ganghwa Island with peace of mind and wait for my reinforcements!"
What is this word? According to Zhu Youjian's wishes, this North Korea is about to be destroyed. As the king, Li Jian did not lead the army and people to resist Japan and the Qing Dynasty, but hid in Ganghwa Island to give birth to children...
Not to mention Jin Yao and Jin Shangxian this time, even the Ming Dynasty officials in Wanshengdian Square felt that Zhu Youjian was still a little dazed!
If we leave it to the past, without the two North Korean grandfathers Kim Jao and Kim Sang-hyun speaking, the Ming Dynasty's official spokesperson would start to complain.
But Hunjun can fight!
Hunjun knows best about war matters. What can the following Kedaoyan say? Do you still want to teach Zhu Youjian how to fight? If you really want to complain like this, you will be deceiving the emperor with lies. You might be captured by the emperor and sent to North Korea as a loyal martyr.
"Your Majesty," Kim Sang-hyun, a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, saw that the Ming Dynasty's treacherous ministers had practiced silence, so he had to stand up and speak. , Only the heavenly dynasty..." As he spoke, Jin Daru knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian, and started to cry, "Your Majesty, please look at the people who have served our country loyally for more than two hundred years. For your sake, send troops to rescue immediately!"
Jin Yao, the leader of the North Korean government, also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates and slave thieves have big plans. If they succeed in carving up North Korea, they will invade the Chinese Empire from the west!"
China saves Korea by keeping the enemy at bay! If China doesn’t save North Korea, it will just open the door to arrest thieves, or it will let jackals in! "
The old man's words were pleasant, and he looked highly respected. He seemed to be a loyal minister, so a group of scientific officials and courtiers who didn't know much about military affairs nodded frequently to express their support for him. Only Yuan Fu Bi Ziyan, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting looked solemn and said nothing.
Among them, Yuanfu Bi Ziyan knew that life in the Ming Dynasty was not easy now. Although last year, through the implementation of the method of integrating grain payment and taxation by provinces, government offices, officials and gentry in Southern Zhili, and sharing the grains into acres, the income increased again. However, Henan, a major province in the north that produces crops and crops, suffered from drought and locust plagues last year. Shaanxi also continues to be plagued by disasters, and droughts in Shanxi, Beizhili, and Shandong show signs of intensification. The imperial court had no choice but to reduce or reduce taxes in the five provinces of Shanxi, Beizhili, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi.
Therefore, the extra oil and water scraped from South Zhili can be used to make up for the gap in tax reduction and exemption in these five provinces... As soon as Zhu Youjian returned to Beijing, he was planning to conquer the Western Regions - according to Zhu Youjian He said that the expedition to the Western Regions was not for the beauties of the Western Regions, but to fight for a way of survival for the hungry people in Gansu and a mouthful of food to survive!
In addition, before Zhu Youjian left Nanjing, he also launched a cross-sea campaign to "recover Luzon"! Although the Dutch are helping, no one knows how long this war will last.
In addition to the conquest of the Western Regions and the expedition to Luzon, there is another Myanmar that has long been on Zhu Youjian's blacklist - he has been taking Mu Tianbo with him to train him personally in the past few years, and has also trained him from Ma's family in Shuixi and Shuidong. The Qin family found a group of nephews and asked Li Jin to select a group of young talents from the military households of Sichuan generals and form them into the Young Guards Corps. Judging from his intentions, he has already made up his mind to conquer Burma!
This is three wars! How much spare power does the Ming Dynasty have that can be used to aid Korea?
Moreover, the three wars promoted by Zhu Youjian all had the same goal - to export population and import food!
The purpose of marching westward was to seize the land irrigated by melting snow in the Tianshan Mountains to feed the drought-stricken Mongolians and Gansu military households.
The purpose of going south was to seize grain-producing areas in Nanyang to alleviate the grain shortage in South Zhili, Shandong, and North Zhili.
The purpose of attacking Burma was to find a way out for a group of chieftains and guards in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou - only after they were removed could Sichuan's taxes increase significantly!
And North Korea... is not a grain-producing area to begin with. It has a large population, and it has become colder and drier over the years.
There was no one in the court to help the two North Korean ministers speak, but Zhu Youjian still had to convince them.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Jin Yu, Jin Shangxian and all the courtiers: "I want the king of North Korea to have more children and marry me. In fact, I am helping North Korea fight against slavery and Japan.
Because North Korea’s anti-slavery and anti-Japanese wars cannot rely entirely on the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they must rely on North Korea to strengthen itself! My marriage to North Korea is to help North Korea become stronger! "
The two Koreans looked confused and had no idea what Zhu Youjian was talking about?
Zhu Youjian's tone was already a little calm, and he said: "North Korea was bullied by Japan during the Wanli period, and was attacked by slave thieves during the Tianqi period. After I came to Yuji, it was jointly attacked by slave thieves and Japanese pirates. In the past few decades, , has been invaded several times by the enemy, and has been severely defeated. What does this mean? "
It shows that North Korea is unlucky! The two North Korean veterans thought to themselves: North Korea’s bad luck will come to an end soon!
"This shows that North Korea cannot bear the heavy responsibility of vassaling the Celestial Dynasty. Instead, it needs the help of the Celestial Dynasty to survive...North Korea is not a place directly under me, but a land of my vassals! Since ancient times, it has been the vassal of Emperor Wei , or is the emperor protecting his vassals? North Korea is my first vassal, it should set an example for other vassals, and it should have the power to defend itself and the vassal to defend China.
Now I want to teach North Korea how to strengthen itself so that North Korea can become the eldest son among the vassals of the Ming Dynasty! "
The eldest son of the feudal lords?
Sounds very promising!
And what Zhu Youjian said is right. It is the duty of the vassals to protect the emperor - the emperor gave the land and people to the vassals in order to let the vassals protect him!
The vassal in North Korea cannot protect the emperor, but instead wants the emperor to send troops to save him, and the rescue is endless... You are not a vassal of the emperor, but the emperor's biological father!
Jin Yu asked: "Your Majesty, Korea has been weak for a long time, and now it is invaded by slaves and Japanese pirates. How can we cheer up and become the leader of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty?"
It's very simple, let the "Three Dutiful Sons of the Loan King" become the king!
Of course, this cannot be said clearly. Zhu Youjian said seriously: "The reason why Korea is weak does not lie in the small number of villains in the land. There are more people in Korea than slaves and thieves, and the land of Korea is not smaller than that of the Japanese. But if the slaves and thieves and the Japanese invade Korea, then What’s the point of entering an uninhabited country? It’s because Korea’s rituals and music have collapsed, especially those of slaves, thieves, and Japanese countries!”
As Zhu Youjian spoke, his face was already quite ugly. His eyes were scorching as he scanned the Wansheng Palace Square - most of the people below were bad guys who had "broken etiquette and broken music"! As human subjects, they are worse than slaves and thieves, and worse than Japanese pirates! The slave thieves and Japanese pirates took away the master's land and slaves, so they could really risk their lives to repay the favor, but what about them? The amount they got was no less than that of slaves and Japanese pirates, but the emperor of Ming Dynasty had to do it himself to kill people!
Zhu Youjian said calmly: "What is the collapse of rituals and music? It means that the country is not a country, the vassal is not a vassal; the king is not a king, and the ministers are not ministers! Everyone up and down has lost their duty. The ministers occupy the land and the population, but they don't know how to join the army. Serve the country. I don’t practice martial arts and military skills at ordinary times. I will be useless when slaves, thieves and Japanese pirates come!
Moreover, those who are vassals still think that there is some order of superiority and inferiority, elder and younger, and they think that it is a country of etiquette and gentlemen. In fact, they don’t even understand the Zhou rites!
Therefore, I must now reestablish the sect-vassal etiquette and let the sect-vassal kings and ministers, both high and low, keep their duties. At the same time, clan marriages should be used to unite clans, vassals, kings and ministers into one body and work together. And Joseon is the eldest son of the vassal, so the reconstruction of rituals and music should start from Joseon! "
