"Since Li Di has taken the initiative to obey my will and wants to give up his country, I can forgive him. Even if he failed to make the Ming Dynasty unify Lelang without force, it can be considered excusable. After all, the one who stopped all this is North Korean nobles and bureaucrats;”
"But Li Zhi cannot be forgiven. Even if he failed to escape, people have to pay some price for their ignorance of current affairs. Of course, more importantly, the Ming Dynasty's imperial principles and national laws cannot be messed with!"
After Zhu Youxiao learned that Seoul had been captured by the Ming army and Li Zhi surrendered, he issued such an order.
"According to the decree! Li Ming also brought the blame on himself. He knew it was a fire bed and insisted on jumping into it. To put it bluntly, he was so stupid that he thought about becoming a king. But not all scholars can be as enlightened as I, Yu Shaobao. That! What’s more, my master, the Ming Dynasty King, is not Wala Yexian, but a teacher of justice. Even if there is someone like Yu Shaobao in Korea, it will not work."
Wen Tiren started talking at this time.
Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "If it were Yu Shaobao, he might have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but smile when he heard what Sun Chuanting said, and then looked at Zhu Youxiao and said: "But, Your Majesty, now, the Americas are getting lively. Many forces from the Japanese shogunate have gone there, and now many forces in Korea have I also went there, plus the Western side, and the local Indians.”
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but said: "What a pity! I, Ming, don't have the energy to go there and join in the fun."
"It's not possible now! According to a message from our governor in America, the plague there is severe, especially after the Japanese country started killing people there! Now the ships coming over there must be strictly controlled."
Wen Tiren started talking at this time.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Let the plague consume some of the people over there first, then reduce it some more when they fight with each other, and then go over there!"
"The key thing we need to do now is to establish the market order in the newly annexed area and promote its prosperity. In addition, we need to encourage births and bring more people into the Han cultural circle. Furthermore, we need to The colonies of Japan and Korea in Southeast Asia and the West were taken back. These places were more sinicized and more densely populated than those in the Americas. It was just a good time to take them back! Even if it was not convenient for the central court to directly control them because of the distance, they still had to be transferred to the dynasty. Shi Xungui."
"That's okay. What the central court needs is the trade value brought by these places. Whether it can be directly administered is of little significance."
Sun Chuanting then looked at Zhu Youxiao and said: "But, Your Majesty, I have a question. At that time, many Han officials were greedy for the high-ranking officials and generous salaries given by the Japanese shogunate and the Korean court, and were unwilling to stay in the country or in our Ming Dynasty clan. They are noble vassals, but rather go to the colonies of Japan and Korea. Should these people be dealt with?"
"Of course we have to deal with it!"
"At the beginning, when we asked them to be humans, they were unwilling and insisted on being dogs for others!"
"King Xin complained to me about this at that time, saying that the imperial court spent military pay, mobilized warships, and purged the Westerners who tried to massacre and enslave them, but these Han gentry who moved to Nanyang refused to be their own people and were unwilling to admit Their vassal states, and even the Ming Dynasty, would rather go to the colonial areas of Japan and Korea, because there the scholar-bureaucrats are superior to the common people!"
"At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, I only asked him to endure it. Now of course, he does not have to endure it. Instead, he wants to settle accounts in the future. All such people will be punished as treason and will be executed from the whole family! And they have no family property! Since they voluntarily gave up their Han identity, Then I can no longer treat the Han gentry in his country."
Zhu Youxiao said.
…
Southern Luzon.
Korean colonial area.
"Aww! The strong and unjust will destroy our country!"
Ma Xuan, a former Han nationality who was already the North Korean envoy here, couldn't help but burst into tears after learning that North Korea had been annexed by the Ming Dynasty. He even spoke angrily to some of his colleagues.
He now really regards himself as a North Korean courtier.
Naturally, he has no sense of nationality.
After Ma Xuan cried, he still said: "I still remember that when our dynasty first ruled here, we treated the Confucian scholars with courtesy and implemented benevolent governance. Therefore, we and other scholars will actively follow them, and do not want to be frivolous and trustworthy for the Confucian scholars." Subjects of the country, why is the sky so ruthless, and would rather make the world lose its humanity and help the tyrannical power to run rampant in the world!"
"What Mr. Ma said is true, but what can we do?"
Shen Xuanwen, the inspector general of the Korean colonial area, spoke helplessly at this time.
"Of course we will raise an army to kill Ming!"
Ma Xuan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I would rather die standing than sit down and wait for death!"
"That's not right. How can we be Mingguo's rival? Besides, there is Xinguo watching next to us all the time!"
Shen Xuanwen waved his hand, glanced at Ma Xuan speechlessly, and then said something.
Ma Xuan replied: "But even if we can't afford to kill Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will not let us go."
"According to the policy of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the unification is peacefully accepted, it will not be considered a crime. It is nothing more than being unable to be an official and being a citizen from now on. What's more, we are all people who are proficient in Sinology. If the Celestial Empire continues to expand, it will definitely We need more scholars to serve as officials, so maybe we can continue to serve the Celestial Empire in the future."
Shen Xuanwen said something at this time.
Ma Xuan couldn't help but slap the table and pointed at Shen Xuanwen angrily: "Mr. Shen! Why do you say such shameless words! His Ming Dynasty is an enemy country that will destroy our dynasty. What's more, you really want to see him unify this place, and Do you want those untouchables who are working and farming to be equal to you?! In my opinion, it is better to take a boat to the Americas under the banner of punishing the Ming Dynasty and help Korea regain its homeland as soon as possible!"
Shen Xuanwen did not expect that Ma Xuan, a Han, cared more about his country than himself, a Korean. For a moment, he felt a little ashamed. He also thought that the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards scholar-bureaucrats was indeed unacceptable, especially since scholar-bureaucrats had no privileges. He couldn't stand it, so he said: "That's fine! I listen to you, let's leave here under the banner of punishing Ming."
"Report! There was a riot in the city, and a large number of rioters attacked the government office. They said they wanted to save themselves first, and then wait to invite the Celestial Empire. No, they wanted to invite officials from the Ming Dynasty to help them live a good life."
At this time, Pu Chengen, an official in the military post of Yuhou, the capital of North Korea, hurriedly ran over and reported to Shen Xuanwen.
After hearing this, Ma Xuan cursed: "This group of unruly people must have been started by spies from the Ming Dynasty. They should all be killed without leaving a single one alive!"
Shen Xuanwen nodded.
"Report! A large number of Ming Dynasty giant ships appeared outside the city. There are Ming Dynasty officials holding an imperial edict. There is an edict from the Holy Emperor, asking us to accept the edict. If we don't accept the edict, all officials will be punished for resisting the edict!"
At this time, another Yuhou from the capital came to report.
Shen Xuanwen was shocked after hearing this: "The Ming army is coming so soon?!"
Ma Xuan was quite shocked after hearing this, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Xuanwen.
