"That's it!"
Li Di was not a fool, and knew that what Xu Mu said was reasonable, but he could not risk his own life for the sake of the country, and would rather kill more people to preserve his royal power.
Therefore, Li Di then ordered: "Xu Mu, as an official of Zuo Zheng, go and stay in the Eastern Dynasty and govern it well so that it will be no different from our own country in Korea. In the future, maybe we will really go there!" "
What Li Di calls Dong Dynasty is a colony belonging to North Korea in the Gulf of Mexico in the Americas today.
At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty still needed Confucian countries such as Korea and Japan to share the military expenses of the expedition to the West, so it allowed them to carve up the Spanish colonies together.
As a result, North Korea became one of the great powers in the East and was able to have its own colonies on the American continent.
Although he had the honor of the Ming Dynasty, the then leader of Korea still felt that such a great achievement was very rare, so he worshiped his ancestors to declare his great achievements, and named his Korean colony in the Americas Dongchao, that is, The meaning of Eastern Korea.
Therefore, Li Di smiled bitterly at this time and said: "Speaking of which, having such an overseas land is all thanks to the grace of the Holy Emperor! Now I only hope that the Holy Emperor of Heaven will really not let go of my Li family!"
After saying that, Li Wei said: "Instructions, I will fast for several days, burn incense and bathe, copy Buddhist scriptures for the Holy Emperor, pray to heaven to extend the longevity of my Holy Emperor, and fulfill my filial piety as a minister! When the time comes, I will send all the Buddhist scriptures in my hand to the Ming Dynasty in the hope that the Holy Emperor will allow me, the Lee family, to continue to exist in Korea."
Song Shilie and Yin Xuanju praised this and said: "The king's benevolence, virtue and filial piety are unparalleled in the world! The family and country will prosper!"
Xu Mu just sighed secretly, feeling very depressed.
He did not expect that his country would still be so weak after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. The monarchs and ministers still looked up to the Ming Dynasty and never thought about progress. Even though Ming Dynasty's ambition to annex his own country was clearly revealed, he still regarded it. Slavish, even grateful.
In fact, Xu Mu didn't think it was a good thing that the Ming Dynasty took North Korea with them to expedition to the West and carve up the Western colonies.
In his view, that incident was only good for the Ming Dynasty, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to control the trade rights to the West. Although North Korea gained an overseas colony, the high military expenditures intensified the exploitation of the domestic people, which made the country A large number of people went bankrupt, causing great civil unrest. If the Ming Dynasty had not helped Wang Ting to suppress the civil unrest in order to continue to exploit North Korea, North Korea would have changed its dynasty long ago.
However, the monarchs and ministers of Korea have always been complacent about the time they sent troops to the West and opened up new territories. They claim to be the second in China and never think about improvement. So now, when the interests of the Ming Dynasty have changed and they want to destroy themselves, they are The whole country was at a loss.
"Teacher! Is North Korea really going to fall to the Ming Dynasty?"
When Xu Mu left Seoul, his disciple Guo Shijian who came to see him off asked him something.
Xu Mu said: "In the Song Dynasty of China, a great master named Su Xun wrote an article "On the Six Kingdoms", which said: The six kingdoms were destroyed because of the failure of the army and the bad war. The disadvantage was in bribing Qin. Loss of strength is the way to destruction. It is impossible to stop the Ming Dynasty from annexing Korea by showing favor to the Ming Dynasty! If you are unwilling to reform and become stronger, you will have to watch our country be cannibalized by the Ming Dynasty in the future. "
"As far as the students know, more than 40 years ago, the Ming Dynasty was quite virtuous and even contributed a lot to the restoration of our country during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. But why has it been willing to act tyrannically in recent years and has not He died because of his tyranny, and now he even seems to be swallowing up the world."
After saying that, Guo Shijian held up his hands and said, "Please ask my teacher to clarify my doubts."
"If you are lucky enough to go to the Ming Dynasty in the future and examine it carefully, you will know that all this is because Emperor Tianqi dared to reform to become stronger, and was always fearless and used the world's resources to strengthen the country and enrich the people! The powerful bureaucrats have always been suppressed by him. Even though these powerful bureaucrats caused a lot of troubles, he still refused to compromise at all. This allowed the Ming Dynasty to first gain the benefits of machines such as steam engines, and then obtain the benefits of communications such as telegraphs. Benefit, this country is like a kingdom of gods, it has reached the point where it can turn stones into gold, and it has the power to help the whole world! Therefore, it has the appearance of a whale swallowing the world."
Xu Mu highly praised Zhu Youxiaolai.
Guo Shijian was surprised because of this: "In the whole court, there are few people who are so sure of the Holy Emperor like my mentor."
Xu Mu just smiled lightly and said nothing.
"You still dare to hide it, don't think that I don't know how many daughters you have! In a word, either you have to pay the money, or you have to hand over the daughter and send it to the mansion, and the superior will choose!"
At this time, the voice of an official came from outside the Ming-made rickshaw Xu Mu was riding.
"father!"
"mother!"
"Master Cha, please let my daughter go! I will kowtow to you!"
"My family really has no money! Woohoo!"
At the same time, the woman's cries and her parents' pleadings were heard.
Xu Mu couldn't help but lift the curtain, and saw outside, a pretty girl from a married woman's family was being dragged by an official, and her parents were kneeling on the ground crying and begging.
At that time, behind the official, there were already more than a dozen girls with their hands tied with ropes and number plates hung up. It was obvious that they were all girls who were going to be selected and sent to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
The land of Han Dynasty, where water and soil nourish people, has always produced beautiful women.
Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been popular among wealthy and noble families in Chang'an to raise Kunlun slaves and Korean girls.
Therefore, these North Korean girls being taken away now are more or less pretty.
When Xu Mu saw this scene, he naturally felt extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but said: "No one in the country is willing to praise such an emperor! Who said it was our own bureaucrats who caused everything, but the root cause is not caused by the Holy Emperor of the Ming Kingdom."
…
"Mother, this is Kunshan County Girls' High School!"
"The school is so beautiful, even prettier than the county government office."
"Yes, my daughter, you must study hard and be able to eat royal food in the future!"
When the Korean Kingdom was searching for folk girls to flatter Zhu Youxiao, the county girls' middle school in Kunshan County of the Ming Dynasty was just opening. Many gorgeous Han girls were holding books and pens, accompanied by their families. Next, I came here happily and also lined up.
Huang Zongxi, who was sitting in the steam car outside, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw this scene, and said to his student Chen San: "The people of the National University are proud! Since the emergence of a large number of factories and the emergence of a large number of female workers, the women of my Han family have also begun to Reading, the etiquette that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue has disappeared! However, this is fine, what is freedom? This is freedom, and both men and women have the freedom to pursue progress!"
After speaking, Huang Zongxi added: "Speaking of which, all of this was brought by His Majesty today. From the strict prohibition of foot binding to the severe punishment of drowning of female infants, as well as the order for women in the world to study, they are all in compliance with his concept of the emperor as heaven and the innate human rights. !”
"Teacher, didn't you have a lot of resentment towards His Majesty in the past? Why do you now claim that freedom and human rights were brought about by him?"
His student Chen Suan asked in confusion.
