Today's Seoul Royal Palace has also undergone some repairs and is equipped with a large number of glass purchased from the Ming Dynasty. As a famous tyrant in the history of the Joseon Dynasty.
Yanshanjun learned that the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty was very luxurious and tall, so he sent people to the Ming Dynasty to learn more about it in detail, and then began to break ground and build a smaller Qianqing Palace in North Korea. Qing Palace.
For this reason, it was also opposed by the officials of North Korea.
After all, North Korea is not the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has a vast land, rich resources, and strong national power. Building palaces is nothing for the Ming Dynasty. The high-rise buildings in Tianjin and the capital are enough to illustrate this point.
But it's different here in North Korea.
North Korea is a small country with a small population and weak national power. There is simply no way to learn from Ming Dynasty in everything.
What's more, the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Ming Dynasty was said to have cost millions of taels of silver to build, not including the various extremely expensive decorations inside.
However, Lord Yanshan still ignored the opposition of the ministers and insisted on learning from the Ming Dynasty. He must build a Korean version of the Qianqing Palace. For this reason, North Korea also had to import cement, steel bars, and glass from the Ming Dynasty on a large scale. Ceramic tiles and such.
In fact, all the ministers opposed it, but everyone also knew the great influence of the Ming Dynasty on Korea.
With the development of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty and the development of the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region, the exchanges between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty were very close. A large number of merchant ships traveled between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea almost every day.
Even in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are fishing boats from the Ming Dynasty carrying a boatload of sea fish to North Korea for sale. The price is much more expensive than that here in the Ming Dynasty, but because it is meat, the price is cheaper. , so it is also very popular.
In addition, North Korea signed the Ming Dynasty Sweet Potato Kingdom Agreement last year and officially became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The two sides also sent envoys to each other.
In Seoul, North Korea, the Ming Dynasty also built a tall six-story Pang Embassy, and all the materials used were transported from the Ming Dynasty.
Although the tall embassy has not yet been built, it has already set the tone for the entire North Korea.
The use of various glass products has become a sought-after item in North Korea.
Although the ministers objected, they all began to use glass windows in their homes, and used various glass products, especially glass lamps, coupled with whale oil, which was very beautiful and bright, and quickly became popular throughout North Korea.
In addition, the agreement between the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty stated that the vassal states must respect Confucianism and Taoism and learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, many Ming Dynasty museums were built throughout Korea to promote the Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Everything has led to North Korea following the Ming Dynasty and learning everything from the Ming Dynasty.
It seems reasonable that Lord Yanshan wants to build a palace.
Every aspect of the Korean version of the Jinluan Palace is modeled after that of the Ming Dynasty. The appearance is not bad, but the momentum is much more petty.
Lord Yanshan was sitting on the throne, looking at the officials of North Korea below and said: "The imperial edict of the Emperor of Heaven has been issued. What do you think?"
Just as Yin Shizhong thought, the Ming Dynasty not only recruited samurai from the Japanese state, but also recruited samurai from the Korean state. Like the Japanese state, the Ming Dynasty also issued a request to the Korean state to recruit five thousand Korean warriors. The purpose of the imperial edict is the same, to wipe out the indigenous people on Ryukyu Island and Luzon Island.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. It shows that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to our country. Last year, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also rewarded us with two islands in the south ocean of Korea. Among all the vassal countries, only our country, Korea, received this honor."
Ren Shihong, a relative whom Yanshan Jun always trusted, was the first to stand up and say.
"I also think this is a good thing. When the Ming Dynasty came to the country, it had a vast territory and abundant resources, and its national power was extremely strong. Last year, it easily wiped out the Jurchen tribes in the Liaodong region. Now it is vigorously developing the Liaodong region."
"With the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to easily wipe out all the Xiaoxiao. The reason why we are recruiting Korean warriors now is because we, Korea, attach great importance to this matter. We, Korea, should attach great importance to this matter and send the most elite warriors to fight for the Ming Dynasty.
It is an honor for my country, Korea."
Liu Shunting, the judge of Li Cao, also stood up to express his position.
The Ming Dynasty conquered the northern grasslands, annihilated the Jurchen tribes, and even beat the Japanese. However, it has always been very good to North Korea. The relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty has always been very friendly.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of dealing with the Ming Dynasty, the opinions of the whole country are very consistent, not to mention that it has now signed the Ming Dynasty vassal state agreement, and it is a complete Ming vassal state.
Theoretically speaking, the Emperor of Heaven is the monarch of their country of Korea. As for the King of Korea, he is also the subject of the Emperor of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Liu said is true~"
"Last year, I went to the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty showed great love to my country, Korea, and gave me many rewards. He gave me two Ming Dynasty ocean-going treasure ships and two Nanyang treasure islands. This shows the Ming Dynasty's kindness to my country."
"Now that the emperor of tomorrow can use our country, it is our country's honor. Likewise, this is also our country's opportunity."
Pu Yuanzong, who knew the affairs of the central government, also stood up and said.
Last year when he went to Ming Dynasty, he received extremely high courtesy. The emperor of Ming Dynasty summoned him alone and showed great concern for North Korea. Similarly, in Ming Dynasty, he also witnessed the prosperity and power of Ming Dynasty with his own eyes.
I learned a lot of information outside of the Ming Dynasty here.
The world is very big. Outside the Ming Dynasty, there is vast fertile land and endless treasures. The Ming Dynasty is currently expanding externally, and a new era is about to come.
He paused slightly, and then slowly said: "Bring me the world map~"
"Hmm~"
Lord Yanshan nodded slightly, and immediately a eunuch brought a map of the world and slowly opened it.
"Your Majesty, everyone~"
"Everyone, please look, this is the Ming Dynasty, this is North Korea, and this is the country of Japan~"
Park Yuanzong pointed to several places on the map and said.
"To the south, this is the Ryukyu Island of the Ming Dynasty~"
"A little further south is Luzon. At present, all the northern part of Luzon has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty established the Nanyang Province here."
"The two islands that the Emperor of Heaven gifted us in North Korea are not small. They are located here, next to Crescent City, the center of the Nanyang Province. The geographical location is also extremely advantageous."
"Your Majesty, I learned from the Ming Dynasty that the merchant houses of the Ming Dynasty are currently keen on opening up plantations in Nanyang to grow rice and sugar cane, and the benefits are extremely good."
"I believe that North Korea should pay attention to these two islands and open plantations on these two islands. If North Korea encounters a famine in the future, the rice grown on these two islands alone will be enough to feed our entire North Korea."
"Nanyang is located in the tropics. The rice here can be harvested three times a year and seven times every two years. The yield is extremely high. If sugar cane is planted, the benefits will be even better. Last year, all the plantations opened by the major Ming Dynasty merchants in Nanyang made a lot of money.
of silver.”
Pu Yuanzong was a very knowledgeable and capable minister. He saw the important value of the two islands that the Emperor of Heaven randomly rewarded.
"Well, keep talking~"
Lord Yanshan nodded slightly. Although he didn't like Pu Yuanzong very much, he was indeed a capable minister. He was much more powerful and far-sighted than his trusted relatives Ren Shihong and Shen Shouqin.
"Your Majesty, the reason why I said this is an opportunity for my country, Korea."
"That's because today, the Emperor of Heaven can reward me with two islands in the Southeast Asia. In the future, Korea will follow the Ming Dynasty to expand around the world and continue to fight against the Emperor of Heaven. Then in the future, the Emperor of Heaven will definitely reward me with more land.
Islands to us North Korea.”
"Please look at this map of the world. The world is very big, including Asia, Golden Continent, Europe, Australia, and Africa. As long as we keep up with the pace of the Ming Dynasty, if we occupy any place in the world in the future, it will definitely be bigger than ours in North Korea.
Several times, ten times, or even a hundred times are possible."
When Park Yuanzong said this, he was very excited. When he thought that North Korea could have a land that was ten times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times larger than it is now, he felt very excited.
"How many times, ten times?"
"Even hundreds of times the land?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath, and Lord Yanshan's eyes shone with light.
As a famous tyrant in the history of North Korea, he was actually a monarch who wanted to make a difference, but everyone knew the situation in North Korea.
To the east is the Japanese state, and to the west is the Ming Dynasty. No one can do anything about it, so even though he has great ambitions, he has nowhere to display them. In the end, he can only slowly put them in North Korea, and eventually becomes a famous tyrant in the history of North Korea.
.
"is it possible?"
Some people couldn't help but shook their heads and said.
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Everyone, please take a look at the world map. The world is much larger than we imagine, and there are many barbarian lands in the world."
"In the Ming Dynasty, anyone who has been to the Golden Continent knows that the land of the Golden Continent is extremely huge, but the indigenous people there are very backward and are still in the tribal stage, not even a country."
"There are many places like this in the world. We, North Korea, should learn from the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way. Like the Ming Dynasty, we should focus on developing maritime trade, overseas colonization, and overseas expansion."
"As long as we keep up with the pace of Ming Dynasty, based on the relationship between us and Ming Dynasty, our overseas expansion will also be beneficial to Ming Dynasty. Similarly, Ming Dynasty's overseas expansion will also be beneficial to our North Korea, because the two countries'
People can freely interact with each other, do business, study, etc."
"The world is so big, we in North Korea can also occupy a huge land that belongs to us in North Korea!"
