The situation in Goryeo was implemented according to Zhu Ying's estimation.
For now, stability is a prerequisite.
Now the Ming Dynasty is fighting against the grasslands, constantly absorbing the population on the grasslands, and implementing embargoes, just to completely solve the troubles on the grasslands.
Because of the lack of talent gap, absorbing Korea has become a problem.
Yao Guangxiao is also very clear on this point.
Therefore, since he arrived in Goryeo, apart from the initial support, Zhu Ying had not given him any other arrangements.
This is a kind of containment.
But Yao Guangxiao was unwilling to give in.
His Royal Highness Taisun is very young, but he is already old. How can he have time to wait.
For a major national event like this, it is very possible to wait for more than ten or decades, let alone a few years.
But on the Goryeo side, Yao Guangxiao nominally leads the forces that once belonged to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, but in fact the main arrangements these people follow still belong to Zhu Ying.
Since it doesn't work here, then Yao Guangxiao can only find a way elsewhere.
The Japanese country that had been conquered before was Yao Guangxiao's best target.
When both the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom wanted to go through a period of stable development, Yao Guangxiao must find some way to bring conflicts into conflict.
"National Master, this is a letter from the Crown Prince of Yan from the Japanese Kingdom."
When Yao Guangxiao came over, his subordinates immediately reported the situation.
In the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Yao Guangxiao took the letter and began to read it.
Here is Zhu Gaochi’s account of the current situation in Japan.
It has to be said that Yao Guangxiao is still very good at deceiving people. Unknowingly, Zhu Gaochi has become his helper willingly.
Even though he knew the purpose, he still chose to side with Yao Guangxiao.
Teacher Jiang is very old. Zhu Gaochi, who is less than 20 years old, is no match for conspirators like Yao Guangxiao. Not to mention that Zhu Gaochi not only has a teacher-student relationship with Yao Guangxiao, but also has been very familiar with Yao Guangxiao for many years.
Completely unprepared.
Now that the goals are the same, of course they are very cooperative.
After reading the letter, Yao Guangxiao tore it into pieces and threw it into the pool in front of him.
The ink on the note smeared with the water, and it was torn into many pieces, so the writing could no longer be seen clearly.
Only Yao Guangxiao knew the contents inside.
Just when Yao Guangxiao was thinking, Wei Guang came.
Wei Guang glanced at the piece of paper in the pool, clasped his fists and bowed, "Master Imperial Master, I heard that there seems to be news from the Japanese country. I don't know what the situation is. Can you tell me about it?"
Obviously, Wei Guang also knew about some things that happened in the Japanese country.
But he also chose to help Yao Guangxiao.
Of course, this does not hinder his loyalty to Zhu Ying.
After a long period of contact, Yao Guangxiao had a good grasp of Wei Guang's pursuit, and it was this that made Wei Guang willing to follow Yao Guangxiao.
Without Wei Guang, Yao Guangxiao would not be able to implement many aspects.
At least there was no way to secretly go to Japan to spy without being noticed.
He is just a human being, not some god.
If you can't hide the past, how can you plan secretly if it is exposed all at once.
"The affairs of Japan are currently proceeding smoothly according to plan."
"It's just that Prince Yan had an accident and was injured. He has recovered now."
"The next step is to see if Kurosawa will act according to our plan."
Yao Guangxiao said slowly.
Wei Guang heard this and said: "The Japanese will really do what the Imperial Master wants."
"This is what I'm most worried about. If he doesn't follow the instructions of the Imperial Master, then there will be no way to proceed."
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "Indeed, but now we can only wait for Kurosawa's confession to Daming."
"For such a big matter, Kurosawa must be escorted to the capital for interrogation. The time to go back and forth here is relatively long, and some accidents may occur."
"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is also very worried. He is afraid that Kurosawa will talk nonsense and affect the current situation in Japan. In all likelihood, he will set an ambush on the road and assassinate him."
Wei Guang frowned and said, "According to the National Master's estimate, Kurosawa will be assassinated in the Ming Dynasty, but if he is assassinated in the Japanese Kingdom, there will be nothing we can do."
Yao Guangxiao was speechless.
These are variables and a given inference.
If it changes here and there, then what's the point?
However, facing Wei Guang, Yao Guangxiao didn't feel comfortable complaining, so he could only say: "Just do your best and obey fate."
"Under normal circumstances, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would not dare to take action in the Japanese territory. After all, as long as you are in the Japanese territory, there is no way to hide many things."
"The Japanese lurking in the Ming Dynasty are somewhat different from the situation in the Japanese country. Moreover, taking action in the Ming Dynasty can also confuse the public to a great extent. When the news reaches the Japanese country, even some speculations will be difficult to confirm."
"The most important thing is that there is no contact with the Japanese country here, and there is no evidence from the left and right."
Wei Guang nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to the Imperial Master."
"After a few days, I will set off with my brothers and provide good protection so that Kurosawa can reach the capital smoothly."
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together: "I'll leave this to General Wei."
Wei Guang chuckled and said, "It's all for a better future."
...
In the Ming Dynasty Palace.
Zhu Ying slowly watered the flowers and plants in Kunning Palace.
Unlike the Peking Palace in later generations, there are still quite a lot of flowers, plants and trees in the Nanjing Palace today, and it is considered very good in terms of greening.
The former Empress Ma was also interested in planting flowers and plants. Naturally, these preserved precious flowers and plants have always been in Kunning Palace.
Even when he was in power, Zhu Ying felt more relaxed.
The current Ming Dynasty is developing according to the established schedule. If it wants to go faster, it will only need the accumulation of talents.
Industry is not something that one person can advance quickly just by knowing it. Now that there is no industrial foundation at all, what kind of iron-clad ships and flintlock guns are there to be realized?
Facts have proved that it is still very different from imagination.
But Zhu Ying is not in a hurry. After all, the days are long and he still has time now.
On the other hand, looking back at the current changes in power in the Ming Dynasty, there are too many differences from those in history.
The first is Huaixi Xungui Group.
Because of Zhu Ying's appearance, Blue Jade Eucalyptus did not happen, and a large number of generals and officials who were implicated because of Blue Jade Eucalyptus are naturally still alive and well.
Even in terms of military power, Zhu Ying had begun to continuously cultivate his own direct lineage, but in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Huaixi nobles was rapidly expanding with the development of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, they already have very good connections, and can easily acquire a large amount of wealth even without breaking the law.
The land they control is flowing into Zhu Ying's hands through various means, or internal funds.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang, money is one aspect of a country's stability, but food is the cornerstone of the country.
When faced with a famine, no amount of money can buy enough food.
Only with enough food can the court be able to stabilize.
As for money, these can be obtained through taxes. When the entire Ming Dynasty becomes rich, then the country will naturally not be short of money.
After all, this is a society where power reigns supreme.
As long as the emperor has military power in his hands, there is no need to worry about lack of money.
Anyone who disobeys will be killed.
It doesn't matter what a tyrant's name is.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to Kunning Palace with relaxed steps.
This is almost Zhu Yuanzhang's daily routine.
Come to see your great-granddaughter, and also come to see your eldest grandson.
He was always worried that such indulgence of the court would cause some problems. Even now, it seems that the current operation of the court is still very good.
"Dasun, actually you still have a lot of free time every day. If you have nothing to do, you should go and pay more attention to government affairs."
"You spend all your time raising flowers and grass. Why do we feel that you are much more leisurely than us?"
"You don't seem to be much different from those old ministers who begged for their bones to become officials."
Zhu Yuanzhang said somewhat speechlessly.
He has worked hard all his life and really has no time for leisure.
So these days, it is said that the government affairs are let go to the eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson's approach makes him feel a little uneasy, so he is still more concerned about the government affairs.
Of course Zhu Ying knew about these things, but he really didn't have much interest in the power of government affairs. It happened that the old man helped to look after it, and it was quite good to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
"Grandpa, don't I watch it every day?"
"It's just that now the internal affairs results are summarized every seven days, so there are more things happening on that day, and as long as you only see some results and don't get involved, it is naturally much simpler."
"If I intervene with them, if something happens then, who will be responsible for the responsibility? Now it's all the responsibility of the individual. If you don't do well and have no political achievements, then just go down and give the opportunity to others.
"
"No matter how smart I am, it is impossible for a person to keep all the internal affairs in his heart. I only need an overall summary to satisfy him, and that will be fine naturally."
Zhu Ying explained helplessly.
In fact, he has said similar words many times, but the old man just can't take time off and wants to find something to do every day.
This is also understandable.
After all, I have been busy all my life, and suddenly being free may sound quite comfortable, but in fact, it always feels uncomfortable.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say when he heard this.
My eldest grandson can be considered a weirdo.
Throughout the dynasties, which prince or emperor was not obsessed with this position of power, and wished they could sit on the throne all the time and have everything under their control.
On the other hand, if the Ming Dynasty had not been developing well at present, Dasun would already have the reputation of being a foolish emperor.
In fact, during this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already received many memorials from the imperial censors, including some who claimed to be Qingliu ministers, all of which were admonishing his grandson to come to court to take charge of government affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang also found it very funny. When he personally handled political affairs every day, these ministers complained endlessly. Now that the grandson is in power, he feels free again. It is really a bit ridiculous.
"The progress on the grassland is not going very smoothly at the moment. Dasun, you have put too much pressure on the grassland, prompting them to unite and jointly boycott us."
"The tribes that had conflicts at first put aside their prejudices and began to target me, the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.
Of course, Zhu Ying also knew this information. Zhu Yuanzhang came here specifically to talk about this today, naturally he wanted to see if there was a different approach.
Zhu Ying was silent for a moment and waved her hands slightly.
Of course Guo Zhong behind him understood, and immediately left with all the eunuchs and maids.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Liu He, of course, also left, leaving the grandfather and grandson alone.
"Grandpa, after the reform of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, it has been completely integrated into the official system. For all officials, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is naturally a big piece of fat, and one bite will definitely make your mouth full of oil."
"My grandson has carefully investigated and found out that the nobles of Huaixi are the ones who eat the most and do the most ruthless things in this regard."
"There is a lot of pressure on the grassland, so naturally we have to send more soldiers there."
"The necessary bloodshed and sacrifice are worth it, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Speaking of Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly understood his plan.
This issue has always been a concern for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The expanding Huaixi Xungui Group has a large number of founding heroes. They have influenced all aspects of the Ming Dynasty and have been integrated with the Ming Dynasty. Currently, it is even more difficult to eliminate them.
The key is that when the Ming Dynasty starts a war with all four sides, they will be useful, instead of just letting them go to Nanshan.
"Now Wala has expressed the intention to join. If we start a war with the entire grassland, Ming Dynasty will definitely be dragged into the quagmire. This is something that Dasun must think carefully about." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.
The grassland is not a small place, and almost all the grassland people are natural cavalry.
Even with battlefield weapons such as matchlock guns, they were greatly weakened in the face of highly mobile cavalry.
Once deep, supply is the biggest problem.
Now the cavalry is constantly being developed, but how can it be possible to compete with the entire grassland in a short period of time.
Zhu Ying replied: "The enemy of my enemy is my ally."
"Bei Yuan can ask Wala to help, and we can naturally find some help."
"The Golden Horde has been unable to withstand Timur's conquests. The defeat happened in the past few years. The other Xiban families of Yue Ji continued to retreat northward in the face of the powerful Timur."
"Obviously, the next step for Timur is to raise a large army to fight against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Timur himself is the Western Chagatai Khanate and has always wanted to occupy it."
"My grandson plans to write a letter to Timur to discuss forming an alliance and conquest. At the same time, he can also enter the Western Region to increase the pressure on the grassland."
"I think Timur has no chance of rejecting this proposal."
"For the Wala, they are more afraid of Timur than our Ming Dynasty."
"After all, Timur can truly rule them completely."
