Chapter 142 If you steal my Kong Shan, I will steal yours!
Chapter 144 I’ll give you a white hat
Zhu Gaojie said cheerfully: "Since the Japanese country is not within the scope of my Ming Dynasty's rule, then let him be included in my Ming Dynasty's rule."
"How do you plan to incorporate it?" Zhu Di asked.
Zhu Gaojie's eyes flashed: "Send troops to defeat it!"
Zhu Di smiled: "Do you plan to use troops against Japan? To put it lightly, how do you plan to defeat it?"
Attacking the Japanese country requires navy and warships. The most elite navy of the Ming Dynasty is Zheng He's fleet. Today, this navy is still floating in the Malindi area of East Africa. How can it be possible to return to China across half the world to conquer the country?
Japan?
Zhu Gaojie said unhurriedly: "In the name of suppressing the Jurchen rebellion, we sent troops to the northeast to wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchens of Nuergandusi, and changed Jianzhou to Jianzhou Province, and changed Nuergandusi to Jianzhou Province.
The Jianzhou Capital Division, the stationed troops, the Jianzhou Chief Envoy Division, and the Naturalization Envoy Division..."
"Wait, stop for a moment." Zhu Di was a little confused when he heard this, "You want to conquer the Japanese pirates, but why does it involve Jianzhou?"
The more he listened, the more something was wrong. Was King Qi planning to completely suppress Jianzhou and incorporate it into the Ming Dynasty?
Jianzhou in the north was established in the first year of Yongle. At that time, the Ming Dynasty wanted to suppress the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so it established the Liaodong Commandery Department in the Jurchen settlements and began to control various Jurchen tribes. The Jurchen meng brother Timur served as the architect.
State Guard Commander.
After the establishment of Jianzhouwei, the Korean state believed that the Ming Dynasty was restricting its development to the north. In order to resist the Jurchens' return to the Ming Dynasty, they closed the Qingyuan market trade, which aroused the Jurchens' resentment. In the fourth year of Yongle, the Jurchens entered Qingyuan and looted. As a result,
was repulsed by the Korean army.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that blind foreign expansion was not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. Continuous wars increased the burden on the people and caused internal instability in the country. Based on these considerations, he advocated that overseas countries "must punish those who have done harm to China."
Although Jianzhou is indeed within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens in this place are a bit evil, and they are the kind who obey the orders but not the propaganda. The Jurchens obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty, but retain their independence and freedom. People in the world call them "the second generation of the Ming Dynasty".
"Wuzai" is the same as the Annan natives.
Zhu Di really wanted to shout: "My son is going to be successful!"
"It's so unreasonable!" Zhu Di angrily yelled, "The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces. Counting Annan, there were only fourteen provinces. Where did you get the seventeen provinces? Go and give the extra three provinces."
Shall I beat him down?"
Zhu Gaojie smiled and said: "We lost a soldier in the Japanese country..."
The more Zhu Di listened to King Qi's words, the more he felt it made sense.
Zhu Di fell into deep thought: Ah? He said it so seriously. Could it be that I remembered it wrong...
"Okay, this is what the father said." Zhu Gaojie carefully took out three fingers and said while counting, "The first province is the Northeastern Jurchen, which is Jianzhou Province; the second province is the North Korean Li Dynasty, which is Goryeo Province.
;The third province is the Japanese country in the East China Sea, which is Yingzhou Province."
You still have to be shameless!
Obviously, Zhu Gaojie perfectly meets the two points of "cultured" and "shameless".
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are lost in your Japanese territory. We send troops to look for them. Isn't it too much?
"Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty" clearly states: "The barbarians in the four directions are limited to mountains and seas, and are isolated in a corner. The other people are not enough to support the army, and the people are not enough to command. If they don't think about themselves and come to disturb us,
Then it is unlucky for him. He is not in danger, and it is also unlucky for me to raise an army and commit a minor crime. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's wealth and strength, be greedy for temporary self-reliance, raise armies for no reason, and kill people, so remember not to do so."
The more Zhu Di came into contact with King Qi, the more he could not help but shake his heart.
However, after Zhu Di heard this, not only was he not afraid of King Qi's ambition, but he agreed very much with what King Qi said and felt a little eager to give it a try.
If he had really listened, he would have been cut to death by Emperor Jianwen long ago!
…
But a prince who knows how to be disobedient is a good emperor.
The more Zhu Di listened, the more outrageous he felt, "Did you say something wrong, Korea?"
Zhu Di scratched his head: "You say."
The old man finally understood this time. King Qi is not planning to attack the Japanese country. This guy is planning to completely conquer the entire Northeast and surrender to the Ming Dynasty on the surface. In fact, Jianzhou Jurchen and North Korea are all annihilated.
Establish a province, and then destroy the Japanese state!
Although today's prince is a good man, good at maneuvering, and knowledgeable about benevolent governance, he is too deeply influenced by Confucianism. Moreover, the heirs of the prince's party are really...hard to describe in one word!
King Qi is like me!
Damn, King Qi’s idea is really good!
Noticing the subtle changes on the emperor's face, Zhu Gaojie was overjoyed. Knowing that his words had entered the heart of the old man, he continued to speak eloquently: "After incorporating Jianzhou into the Ming Dynasty, we used Koryo Province as a springboard to start from Maldao
Send troops to Japan..."
"That's right, isn't it the province of Korea?" Zhu Gaojie said matter-of-factly, "In the Ming Dynasty, there were two capitals and seventeen provinces, which is very reasonable."
From then on, Zhu Di admired the "shameless educated people" from the bottom of his heart. Among his four sons, the eldest, the prince, was the most educated. Unfortunately, Zhu Pangpang only achieved half of it - being educated but neglecting it.
The most important thing is "shameless".
Zhu Di: "!!!"
Without King Qi continuing to speak, Zhu Di understood and said categorically: "Yes! That's it!"
Zhu Di was never the one who maintained the status quo. He was the emperor who created a prosperous age. What he wanted to do was to drive away foreign enemies and expand the territory!
Even in his fifties, he still has the enthusiasm of a boy. Different from when he was young, Zhu Di's thinking in politics and military affairs has become more and more sophisticated after time. Not only has it not diminished, but it has become more vigorous!
But Zhu Di still had some grudges in his heart: "Emperor Taizu Gao once said in the "Huangming Zuxun" that fifteen countries, including Korea and Japan, were included in the list of countries that cannot be conquered. If you attack them
, wouldn’t it be disobedient to our ancestors?”
Zhu Di asked tentatively: "What about the Japanese country? What can we use to borrow, ahem, what name can we use to send troops?"
Zhu Di was shocked. Although he didn't quite understand, he said he was greatly shocked.
We did not find this soldier in your Japanese territory, and we suspected that he was killed by your Japanese people. Regarding this, I, Daming, said: "Please explain the disappearance of our Daming soldiers. The situation is dangerous and the consequences are serious. We
We must warn the Japanese authorities and do not say that we were unprepared."
Through observation during this period, Zhu Di discovered that King Qi was the most ideal prince in terms of military, political, political, and employment...
The only drawback...probably is that this little beast is too rebellious.
This kid fits his requirements for a successor to the Ming Dynasty very well.
"Don't say you didn't predict what you said." The translator asked: Wait for death!
This is very reasonable.
Changing Jianzhou to Jianzhou Province, establishing the Chief Envoy Division, and politically controlling the Northeastern region. Changing the scattered and chaotic Nurgandu Division to Jianzhou Dusi was a denial of the Jurchens' own establishment of a garrison.
The army of the Ming Dynasty came to suppress the Jurchen armed forces militarily. The purpose of establishing the Naturalization Envoy was to tame the Jurchens and consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaojie smiled and said, "Has your father ever heard how Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, viewed Goryeo, which is now North Korea?"
Being educated is useless. There are so many scholars in the world, how many of them can achieve anything?
This little beast, doesn’t he know that I haven’t read enough?
Zhu Gaojie said calmly: "It is enough to say that His Majesty's reputation and merits are enough; it is enough to expand the territory and open up frontiers. Those Koreans are frontier barbarians and lowly people, and cannot be treated with kindness and righteousness. They cannot be blamed for common courtesy. In ancient times, fish and turtles were treated as fishes and turtles.
When it comes to animals, it is advisable to be broad-minded. If you want to exterminate the species, you will fight if you are afraid that the beasts will be exhausted. Moreover, every time your majesty puts a prisoner on death row, he will order three rounds of five songs, eat vegetarian food, and stop the music, and those who stop the music will be given the weight of human life, so as to move the saints.
Kindness. Moreover, none of the soldiers today are ruthless. They are driven into the formations for no reason and are thrown under the sharp edge. Their livers and brains are wiped out, their souls are nowhere to be found, and their old fathers and orphans, as well as their widowed wives and loving mothers, look at Shi's chariot.
Covering up the weeping, hugging the withered bones to break the heart, it can change the yin and yang, sentimental and harmonious, and realize the injustice and pain of the world. Moreover, soldiers are deadly weapons, and those who fight are in danger, so they must be used as a last resort. Xiang Gaoli violated the integrity of his ministers, and his majesty can punish him.
"It is an intrusion on the people, and your Majesty can destroy it; it can be a nuisance to China for a long time, and your Majesty can eliminate it. For this reason, even if you kill ten thousand people a day, you are not ashamed." After saying that, Zhu Gaojie shouted loudly and forcefully: "Goryeo, we must attack it!"
See, this is the power of knowledge!
He can turn the black (rebellion) into white (Fengtian Jingnan), and the white (Jianwen Sansi) into black (treacherous ministers).
After saying that, Zhu Gaojie looked at Zhu Di with a smile: "How about the father lend me 30,000 troops and horses, and the son will return the territory of three provinces to my father?"
At that time, Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, and Jianwen cut off the feudal vassal. No, that is no longer called cutting off the vassal, that is called cutting off the life! Then Zhu Di gathered the generals of the Yan Palace to discuss rebellion. Everyone said rebellion, and
Yao Guangxiao, a cultural man, was different. Yao Guangxiao said: "How can this be called a rebellion? There are no honest ministers in the government, and there are treacherous officials in the court. The prince will train the troops and be on standby. The emperor secretly orders the kings to lead the troops to bring peace to the people. The Qing emperor will sideline him, punish the treacherous ministers, and provide peace to heaven.
Disaster!"
How can one be an emperor for eternity if he blindly obeys the wishes of others?
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Di to stay in the fiefdom and guard the country for his nephew. Did Zhu Di listen?
Zhu Di thought to himself that this boy, Lao Si, was indeed a man of culture. He could actually talk about the invasion... well, he could talk about the crusade in such a righteous way!
This also reminded His Majesty the Emperor of a person: Yao Guangxiao.
"Um?!"
Therefore, Zhu Gaojie said confidently: "Korea has been an inseparable part of our Han people since ancient times. How can we call it an invasion by using troops against North Korea? This is called closing the door and having a 'friendly' exchange with our own son!"
But the Han people needed to use troops to borrow... Bah, they needed to be justified. Fang Xuanling's words could only convince the emperor's determination, but they could not be used as a reason (jie) for fame (kou).
Thinking of this, the scale in Zhu Di's heart had already settled. He smiled and said to Zhu Gaojie: "I allow you to lead 30,000 troops and send troops to the northeast. If you win, I will give you a big gift."
Zhu Gaojie was a little curious: "What kind of gift?"
Zhu Di smiled and said nothing, and did not express his inner thoughts.
