Chapter 341 Don't even think about escaping from the palm of your brother's mind if you like it
Chapter 341 Don’t even think about escaping the things that I like.
After a short meeting, Wei Mingtong finally brought over all the information about Korea since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qizhen carefully selected some and handed them to Shi Heng.
, complained angrily. "Look, you all, look at these things, they are irrefutable evidence."
During the Ming Dynasty, the border between China and North Korea shrank significantly. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, he strongly demanded that Tieling be used as the boundary. As a result, North Korea still regarded Beiyuan as its suzerainty. It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang's death that Li Chenggui North Korea officially paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea
The main body of the border is the same as that of later generations, except that Jianzhou Zuowei on the south bank of the Tumen River was still the territory of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Goryeo general Li Chenggui drove the last king of Goryeo, King Gongjang, from power, seized the Goryeo power, and established a new royal power - the Lee Dynasty. The relationship between the Joseon Dynasty and the Ming regime in the early days of the founding of the country, and the exchanges between Korea and China
Although extremely important to China, the relationship between North Korea and the Jurchens occupied an even more important position in the history of North Korea’s diplomatic relations at that time.
Among them, during the reign of King Taizong, King Sejong and King Sejo of Korea, they pursued an active policy of northward expansion, and the northwest and northeastern areas of the peninsula where Korea expanded were where the Jurchens had lived for generations. Therefore, Korea and the Ming Dynasty
A series of relationships occurred among the Jianzhou Jurchens of the border ethnic groups within the territory.
This was an important part of the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty during that period. At the beginning of the establishment of the Li Dynasty, Taizu Li Chenggui pursued "big affairs" diplomacy, regarded the Ming Dynasty as "Zhengshuo", and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, saying: "
I sincerely hope to be consistent and sincere in everything, and for hundreds of millions of years, I will pay tribute and sincerely." Li Chenggui even "please change the country's name" to "North Korea";
However, in terms of territory, Li Chenggui continued the Goryeo Dynasty's policy of northward expansion. Taking advantage of the unstable rule in the early Ming Dynasty and having no time to take care of the Jurchen region, he stepped up the appeasement of the Jurchen tribes and expanded to the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula and the Yalu River.
The Jurchen areas in the middle and upper reaches tried their best to expand their territory and forced the Jurchens in the area to surrender to North Korea.
The policy towards the Jurchens in the early days of the Li Dynasty inherited the tradition of Wang's Goryeo Dynasty. It not only used force to suppress and conquer, but also used the policy of conferring official positions to recruit peace and tenderness. Therefore, Helan Mansion in the original Yuan Dynasty (today's Hamhung in South Hamgyong Province, North Korea)
Some Jurchens in areas such as South Wuli) successively joined the Li Dynasty.
"Records of the Li Dynasty" records: "Since he came to the throne, the barbarian chiefs have come from far away, and they have moved all the beans to serve. They often wear bows and swords to defend and conquer. For example, the Jurchens have Odoli Douman and Wenmeng Ge Timu
Er, Huo'er Adou's long essay on Aha came out...and so on. When he ascended the throne, he assigned the duties of ten thousand households and one thousand households, and asked Li Doulan to recruit Jurchens.
The customs that were issued were adopted, all the crowns and belts were adopted, the behavior of animals was changed, and the etiquette was taught. Marrying the people of the country, serving in the army and paying taxes was no different from establishing a household, and they were ashamed to serve the chiefs. They were all willing to be citizens. From Kongzhou
As far north as Mount Jia, we set up towns and cities to manage civil affairs and train soldiers. We also built schools to teach scriptures. The civil and military administration was then completed.

It stretches thousands of miles and is registered, with the Douman River as the boundary. Outside the river, there are special customs. As for Juzhou, after hearing the news and admiring the righteousness, some people come to the court in person, some send their children, some ask to accompany them, or some ask to receive noble orders.
Those who either moved inland or brought in earth and goods followed one after another on the road..."
It can be seen that North Korea regards winning over the Jurchen tribes as an important strategic plan to expand its power to the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, Li Chenggui expressed his submission to the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he was not willing to meet the huge concessions made by the Ming Dynasty.
——The Ming Dynasty unilaterally ceded all the territory in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula that originally belonged to China. From the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula was China's territory. In order to express his gratitude to Li Chenggui for overthrowing Wang's Korea from within, Ming Taizu
and support, thereby supporting a North Korean regime that was "anti-Yuan and pro-Ming" and permanently ceded this area to North Korea.
It can be said that the concessions made by the Ming Dynasty for the sake of "an internal peace" were the largest ever made by any Chinese dynasty to North Korea. However, despite this, Li Chenggui, who started his career as a rebel, was still not satisfied and took advantage of the Jurchens' dissatisfaction with the new dynasty.
Understanding the cultural similarities between North Korea and the Jurchen tribe, he vigorously wooed and bribed the Jurchen tribe as his own, making them filial and loyal to him, and attempted to obtain the status of "the de facto suzerainty of all Jurchen tribes"
, and gained the ambition to conquer the entire Northeast.
After Li Chenggui's death, his fifth son Li Fangyuan used conspiracies to overthrow Dingzong, who had only reigned for one year, that is, the king's throne was Taizong. After King Taizong ascended the throne, he actively promoted northern expansion based on his father's work.
policy to expand its actual control territory to the north, and in order to make the Ming Dynasty recognize the ownership of North Korea's expanded territory, it continued to annex the territory that originally belonged to the Yuan Dynasty through force conquest or money bribery, and to the south of the Tumen River
During the expansion process north of Hamhung, Korea and the Ming Dynasty finally came into conflict.
In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because they wanted to concentrate their efforts on the war in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they had to ensure that there was a force that clearly supported them in the Northeast. Therefore, they always adopted a policy of tolerance towards Li's Korea. Li Yuanfang took advantage of this favorable condition to expand his power to
Penetrating into the Jurchen tribe in the Northeast.
In the third year of Emperor Taizong of the Li Dynasty of Korea and the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, came to the throne. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had an absolutely overwhelming advantage over the Northern Yuan Dynasty and had basically established its status as the orthodox dynasty of China. It could no longer sit back and watch North Korea encroach on its own power.
Territory and population.
Ming Chengzu began to restore the establishment of officials and local governments in the Northeast region, trying to restore the central dynasty's actual control over the Northeast region. It can be said that this move of the Ming Dynasty was completely reasonable and legal. The Ming Dynasty had sovereignty over the Northeast region.
It is natural to exercise actual management here, but because such an approach conflicts with the interests of North Korea and the Ri Dynasty, the conflict between the two countries eventually intensifies.
I would also like to mention here the previously mentioned leader of the Jurchen Huli Kai Tribe, Ahachu, who had an extraordinary relationship with Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Ahachu’s daughter married Zhu Di in the 19th year of Hongwu when he was the king of Yan.
After Zhu Di became the emperor, he also named his daughter the third queen, and Ahachu was also called the "father of the three queens".
Therefore, Zhu Di and Aha Chu are actually the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law. With this marriage relationship, Aha Chu is extraordinary in Zhu Di's eyes. After Zhu Di came to the throne, he rewarded Aha Chu, and Ha A Chu was born.
The Ming Emperor acted as the backstage and was no longer afraid of North Korea's coercion and inducement.
In June of the first year of Yongle, Taizong Zhu Di, who ascended the throne as emperor, formally issued an edict requiring the Jurchen tribes to resume the system of paying tribute to the central dynasty, as the beginning of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty's exercise of sovereignty over the Jurchen tribes. This was equivalent to the declaration of all the vassals in the world.
The Ming Dynasty established its ownership of the Liaodong region.
The North Korean side immediately boycotted this and openly declared that "the Jurchens and others belong to me" and openly disputed with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty ignored North Korea's unreasonable clamor. In November of that year, the Ming Dynasty held a memorial ceremony in Huli
The Ministry was restructured, the Military and Civilian Command and Envoy Department of the Jianzhou Guards was established, and Ahachu, the "father of the Three Empresses", was appointed as the first commander of the Jianzhou Guards. He was in charge of the military, political, legal and power of the Jianzhou Guards, and established a department headed by Ahachu.
The feudal political institutions at all levels quickly restored the central dynasty to exercise actual control over the Huli Ministry.
In the second year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty added Aha to participate in politics, which further enhanced the important status of the Jurchen Department in the political system of the Ming Dynasty.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The Ming Dynasty's move to establish Jianzhou Guards won the hearts of the barbarians in Liaodong, so a large number of tribes in Liaodong came to join them. By the seventh year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty had set up a total of 130 Liaodong alien guard posts, thus basically
The actual control over the Northeast region was restored. Although North Korea was extremely dissatisfied with this, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, the small North Korea could not compete with the mighty Ming Dynasty. However, with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula,
With the return of some Jurchen tribes, the rulers of the Li Dynasty of Korea finally could no longer do it. Li Yuanfang declared: "In the northeastern part of our country, Zigonghui Town, Kongzhou, Jizhou, Duanzhou, Yingzhou, Xiongzhou, Xianzhou, etc.
All states are related to the territory of the country."
Li Yuanfang believed that the Ming Dynasty should not accept the Jurchens who had been included in the territory of North Korea because they had "integrated into North Korea." He even claimed that his ancestors lived in the northeastern region of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestral graves were still in the northeast.
It means that not only the Jurchens who have "integrated into North Korea" should not return to China, North Korea also has the "power" to seek "sovereignty" over the Northeast region.
In short, the border issue between Ming Dynasty and North Korea has always been in a situation of overt and covert struggle. In addition to the Liaodong land that must be occupied, Zhu Qizhen's eyes like hungry and greedy wolves are staring at
We visited another treasured place: Tamna Island.
Tamna was the Kingdom of Japan before 938 AD. During the Yuan Dynasty, Tamna was always under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty. Goryeo became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty of China. The government of the Yuan Dynasty of China set up the Tamna Military and Civilian General Administration Office on Jeju Island to administer the military and civilian areas stationed in the country.
Jeju Island has some government agencies to deal with the affairs of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty army and island residents, such as the Muma Mansion of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty on Tamna Island. The highest official of Muma Mansion is the Chinese Zuo Hengsu, but it was not until the fall of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty decades ago
Only after the Yuan Dynasty officials on the island surrendered to Goryeo.
Zhu Qizhen has been coveting that island for a long time, not only because it is a rich horse breeding land, but also because it is located in the southern corner of the Korean Peninsula. To the west is our Daming Sea Territory, and to the north is the Korean Peninsula.
, and to the east is the Japanese country that Zhu Qizhen, a time traveler from later generations, regarded as a scum country.
If Zhu Qizhen wants to turn Ming Dynasty into a maritime colonial power, he must first control the islands around Ming Dynasty and make these places become the territory of Ming Dynasty. Migrate people here to survive and reproduce, so that Ming Dynasty's
People can gradually move to foreign lands.
"Whether it's justified or not, whatever I like, don't even think about escaping from my grasp, and don't think about who I am." Zhu Qizhen stared at the map of the Korean Kingdom and thought viciously.
