"Grandpa Huang, don't be angry, sit down and listen to your grandson!"
No one is perfect. Although Zhu Yuanzhang can be called a generation and a hero for the ages, after all, there is a slight difference in vision between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Li Shimin, and even the eternal tyrant Yang Guang, these monarchs who like to fight foreign wars have all received a complete aristocratic education. The so-called aristocrats are aggressive, and the emphasis is that everyone in the world belongs to me.
Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background and fought for nearly twenty years to conquer the world. It was not that he was unwilling to fight, but he knew the harm of war to the people and the damage to national strength.
Moreover, in his opinion, it would be a good deal if some wild lands could be exchanged for the support of a vassal state and the stability of the border areas.
This idea is correct for the time being, but in the long run, it will definitely cause damage to the country. And because Zhu Yuanzhang can be considered a southerner, he has no special impression or concept of the land of Liaodong in the north.
Goryeo had just changed its dynasty. The Li family had replaced the original Goryeo royal family, and Li Chenggui had proclaimed himself king in Goryeo. After becoming king, Goryeo changed its support for the Yuan Dynasty and became friendly with the Ming Dynasty.
In order to release the goodwill of the great powers, Zhu Yuanzhang also turned a blind eye to Goryeo's actions in Liaodong.
Helping Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, Zhu Yunxi squeezed his neck and said softly, "Liaodong is not a barren land. Some people have been farming there as early as the Warring States Period! My grandson knows that it is winter there for most of the year.
, and are surrounded by tough barbarians, but it is indeed an old Han land!"
"My grandson has spoken about the dangers of annexation before, and you still applaud him. Think about it, everyone in Ming Dynasty now has land farming, but what will happen in a few hundred years? You are a generous emperor, and scholars are exempted from taxes and officials are exempted.
There is no tax or business tax, and even land under the names of monks, Taoist and nuns is tax-free."
"Tax exemption is a good thing, but in the future, rich people will have more and more land, while poor people will have less and less land. When land annexation occurs in the Ming Dynasty and people have no land to farm, where will they get land?"
The initial website address is https://m.
"The Liaodong side is a little colder and a little more wild, but it is still land that can grow crops. Immigrants are not feasible now, but it does not mean that it will not be possible in a hundred years. If Korea takes over, we people will have no land to farm in the future. He is willing to
Spit it out?"
"The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there is no useless land. No matter how bad or wild the land is, it was passed down from our ancestors to our Ming Dynasty. How can we take advantage of outsiders!"
"My grandson knows that you are worried about Bei Yuan, and you are wooing Goryeo to guard against Bei Yuan. But think about it, Goryeo is just a grassroots. If you don't hoe him a few times, he will not know how powerful he is. If the Ming Dynasty soldiers are sharp, he will dare to fall to Bei Yuan.
?"
"Besides, in the past, when Da Yuan took Korea, they treated it as a country of slaves. Now that Ming Dynasty treats him as a ally, how can he ask Da Yuan again? The King of Korea is not stupid, and is willing to find a father for himself?"
"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, "You are always right!"
"It's not that my grandson has a right, but that we can't let them take over. People are so incompetent that if he takes over a piece today, he will still want to do it tomorrow. If we don't let him take over one day, we will become enemies. If we let him keep taking over, we will become enemies."
His Korean descendants are endless, but our land in Liaodong is endless."
Since Zhu Yunxi wanted to find an ancient country and lead it on a completely different path, then he had to fundamentally change the shape of the country.
I don’t know since when, the Han Dynasty lost its aggressiveness of favoring others. Instead, it pays attention to the vague broad-mindedness and tolerance. This is a virtue when you are strong, but when you are weak, others will not remember it.
Instead, they will laugh at you.
Thinking about future generations, during the thousands of years of the East Asian Ming Dynasty, we have always been far ahead. It's just that we have been stagnant for a hundred years, a drop in the ocean, but we have been laughed at by those small countries that have turned around and fallen behind.
And when we became strong again, they were inexplicably surprised, as if they had seen something extraordinary. People and countries are the same, they all care about fighting but not eating.
To change this country, we need to become more dynamic and more exploratory. We cannot rest on the merits of our ancestors and wait to die, otherwise we will only become complacent and repeat the same mistakes again.
The Hanlin bachelor of the university said that reading history is for the sake of the present. Today's people should not repeat the mistakes of the past. But the history of Zhu Yunxu's heart, in addition to the past dynasties, also includes the great era of changes hundreds of years later.
A Ming that makes people fear is better than a Ming that makes people look like a fool.
A true Ming Dynasty is one who dares to throw off his arms and slap anyone he doesn’t like.
"You think we don't know what you're saying?" Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, enjoying Zhu Yunxi's massage, and said, "Last year, the Ministry of War discussed whether to send troops to Korea. At that time, the border in Peking was unstable, so we had to wait.
!”
"Wars are fought with money and food. One Bei Yuan has already overwhelmed the national finance. If we go to fight against Goryeo, how much food will it cost?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "When you become the head of the family, you will know how difficult it will be!"
"Gaoli thought so too!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"We are not saying that what you think is wrong, we are saying that what you did today is wrong!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "We asked you to meet with foreign ministers, so that the prince can meet with envoys from the vassal state. Who do you represent? You represent us, we
Ming dynasty!"
"It's better for you to just scare people! Is this what a ruler should do?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Besides, people are here to celebrate their birthdays. As the old saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. If he is really determined to occupy the land of Liaodong
, will it work if you just say it?”
"I'm afraid not only won't it work, but once you say that, when he comes back and thinks about it, he'll have an extra knack for it. Knowing that you don't like him, he'll be wary of you!"
"State affairs are the same as fighting between two people. If you really want to beat someone down, don't just say it!" Zhu Yuanzhang paused and continued to lose, "Just go over and fuck him! Don't let him know in advance, just fuck him and lie down.
, he knows how you fight even when he lies down, this is a fight!"
"Oh, it turns out that what you meant is that if you want to defeat Goryeo one day, send troops directly, and leave him alone without knowing what he is doing, and he will not be able to take care of himself!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"There's no need to ask!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Even though your grandfather has never read a book, he also knows the tricks of the military!"
As he spoke, he pouted in the direction of the imperial censor, "The second memorial is in the third pile on the left. It's the memorial of Li Chenggui, the new king of Goryeo. Take it and take a look!"
Zhu Yunxi stepped over, found the memorial, opened it and was happy to see it.
The memorial is written in beautiful small regular script, and the handwriting is neat and uninterrupted. It is much neater than the memorial on the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Li Chenggui, who is aware of the state affairs of Goryeo, respectfully reports to His Majesty Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang, this Li Chenggui is quite knowledgeable. He knows that his name as the King of Goryeo is unfair and unjust, so he dare not talk about the king in front of you, and he has the right to know state affairs."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "If you read on, he said he wants us to give him a new country name, but we haven't decided yet!"
