Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1863 The Sword Points at Dongying (Thirty) Two Maps of Maps [[-] in [-]]
Wang Jiaping's words were very offensive, but Shen Yiguan couldn't help but respond.Especially when Wang Jiaping mentioned abdicating the throne for Yin Yunyun, if Shen Yiguan didn't make it clear that he had no intention of replacing him, then he would have no way to get along in the court of Ming Dynasty. foot.

"Yuanfu misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Shen Yiguan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Yuanfu, everyone, the original intention of what I said just now was not to question, let alone ask for accountability, but to state the facts.

Gao Nanning's outstanding achievements have been left in history, and no one will doubt this. Otherwise, how to explain the facts such as Annan's internal attachment, Liaodong Huanxin, Ningxia's Anjing, Monan's unification... and even the revitalization of the Beijing camp?
The reason why I said this just now is because I want to say that Gao Nanning's outstanding martial arts is really due to the trust of the emperor and the planning of previous cabinet ministers.

How important the trust of the emperor is to the achievements of the ministers is well known, but the merits of the cabinet ministers are often overlooked.Your majesty, I have something to say about this point.

Just now, Wang Yuanfu mentioned the former Yuanfu Shen Gong and wrongly accused me of belittling Shen Gong. This statement is absurd-I think Shen Gong has made great achievements, not even inferior to Gao Nanning! "

Shen Yiguan's words seemed to be turning too fast, and Wang Jiaping didn't understand how he turned around for a moment before turning to praise Shen Shihang.However, Wang Jiaping knew that, as a member of the Mind School, the possibility of Shen Yiguan belittling Shen Shixing was indeed relatively low, and it was normal to praise him.Of course, first of all, he had to figure out what Shen Yiguan wanted to do.

"Shen Gong entered the cabinet very early, and he was a minister at the time of Long Wan's friendship. By the time he became an official, he had assisted the emperor for 26 years. When Shen Gong entered the cabinet, I had only been in office for two or three years. Looking back now, I can't bear it." Sigh." Shen Yiguan sighed.

He paused, and then said: "He has been in the cabinet for a long time, and he has been the leader of the world for a long time. In the 11th year of Wanli, the former Yuanfu Zhang Puzhou Gong Dingfu was worried, and Shen Gong was promoted to the leader. Since then Bingzheng for 15 years is rare in the world.

Your Majesty, gentlemen, what major events happened during Shen Gong's 15 years in power?In my opinion, there are at least the following: the reform of the Beijing camp, the opening of the vassal ban, the suppression of chaos in the Northwest, the reform of finance and taxation, the division of the state, the destruction of the Mongolian Yuan, the pacification of Bozhou, and the First World War against Korea...

You may say, isn't Gao Nanning responsible for all the above credits?Of course, but Gao Nanning has made so many achievements. Wasn't Shen Gong the one who was in charge of the central government at that time, the upper assistant emperor and the lower security officials?
Ladies and gentlemen, when the former emperor Mu Miao was in power, who was the one who made the most tribute?Is it Fang Fengshi or Wang Chonggu?No, I answer that the first contribution to the tribute was Duke Gao Wenzheng, and the second contribution was Duke Wenzhong Zhang.It can be seen from this that Gao Nanning's contribution to the work is certainly made, but the contribution to the decision-making lies in the center..."

When Shen Yiguan said this, everyone recalled it. It turned out that he hoped to suppress the pragmatic "achievements" by exalting Shen Shihang's "decision-making" achievements.

But this is a little underestimating the heroes of the world. Before Wang Jiaping could speak, Liang Menglong still coughed and retorted slowly: "Of course the merit of making a policy is a great achievement, but Shen Ge was not in the pavilion at that time, not even in the sixth department. I'm afraid I don't know many things."

Liang Menglong chuckled, and said: "Old Shen Ge just cited all the merits, in fact, most of them were opposed by Shen Gong." When he said this, he slightly bowed his hands to the emperor, and said: "If you really want to talk about the merits of making a policy, In fact, most of these credits can only be credited to the emperor."

Shen Yiguan obviously didn't expect that his move of softness and toughness would be resolved so easily. Of course, this is mainly because of the problem Liang Menglong mentioned just now: "Shen Ge was not in the pavilion at that time, not even in the sixth department." I don't know that most of Shinshihang expressed its opposition in those matters.

In fact, if you really think about it, it is not difficult to understand. Unless the general trend is unshakable, how can Shen Shixing, as the leader of the School of Mind, support highly pragmatic suggestions?

It's a pity that although Shen Yiguan's political ingenuity is quite good, his intelligence work is not done enough. This is why he made such an oolong. He talked here and there for a long time, but in the end he was stopped by Liang Menglong with a word. How embarrassing.

Zhu Yijun was quite happy in his heart, but he was the emperor after all, and the emperor must have the consideration and position of the emperor, but he couldn't express his attitude at this time.As an emperor, balancing the strength and posture of his subjects is a basic skill, so not only can he not laugh at Shen Yiguan at this time, he even has to help Shen Yiguan out of the siege.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand to stop others who were about to speak, and said with a final word: "Mr. Shen is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has worked hard for 26 years in the government. I have already said these words in the imperial decree when he was admitted to office. Today, there is no need to repeat it." Repeat instructions.

As for Mr. Shen, if you just want to complain about Mr. Shen, I have no choice but to say that there is no need.The imperial court is very clear about Mr. Shen's merits and demerits. "

When Zhu Yijun said this, the conversation changed abruptly, and he said: "You may think that I called you here today to discuss the Korean War, but in fact it is not. Just as Mr. Shen said just now, I have appointed the Marquis of Nanning to take full power over the Korean War. If you have a strategy, then you don’t plan to intervene until the matter is completed. Today, I have called all the love ministers here, and I have a very interesting map for you to take a look at.”

After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, Chen Ju, the inspector of ceremonies, coughed lightly and waved slightly to the side. Then the small yellow door opened the curtain on the wall, and two maps were displayed.

Hey, didn't you mean one geomancy map, how did it become two?
However, Zhu Yijun did not explain, but pointed to the two maps naturally and said: "My love, please look, this is Wang's Koryo Kanyu map, and this is Lee's Korea Kanyu map. Look carefully at these two maps , Did you find any problems? Everyone, look at this one."

Zhu Yijun pointed to the large area in the northeastern part of North Korea, and said: "This area belonged to the Jurchens during the Wang Dynasty's Koryo period, and did not belong to the territory of the Koryo Kingdom. But the same area, during the Lee Dynasty period, belonged to the Joseon Kingdom territory, which is today's northern Pyongan Road and Hamgyong Road.

So here comes the problem. Lee’s Korea was founded almost at the same time as my Ming Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, Wang’s Korea did not have the Northeast territory. During my Ming Dynasty, the Lee’s Korea suddenly had the Northeast territory. "After Zhu Yijun asked, he glanced lightly at the cabinet ministers.

Did the Ming Dynasty ceded this land to North Korea?It is definitely inaccurate to say cession, because North Korea really did not have the ability to let Ming Dynasty cede territory at that time.But in fact, this area was indeed acquired by North Korea in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

From the perspective of future generations, there is a natural good port in this area, Qingjin Port. If it belongs to China, it means that Jilin will have an outlet to the sea and will no longer be an inland province!
What is the reason for all this?In fact, this incident is indeed a historical fact, but China has directly mentioned it, and it is recorded in Korean history books, it is called "Taizong bestows soil", which means that Ming Taizong bestowed this piece of land to North Korea.

Who is Ming Taizong you ask?In fact, it is Chengzu Zhu Di. His original temple name was Taizong, but it was changed to Chengzu during the Jiajing period.

So, why did Cheng Zu Zhu Di give this piece of land to North Korea?This involved a major event in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty: the Red Turban Army's expedition to North Korea.

People in later generations must be familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Shicheng.History buffs must have heard about Liu Futong and Han Shantong.However, if you want to talk about Mr. Guan and Po Tou Pan, many people must be at a loss.Who are these two?Judging from the name, it's too unorthodox. Are they bandits like the heroes in Water Margin?
That's not it.In fact, these two men were both Liu Futong's subordinates. Mr. Guan's real name was Guan Duo, and Potou Pan's real name was Pan Cheng. As for why these nicknames were not recorded in history books, future generations will naturally not know.

Why start with them?Because as the commander-in-chief of a Northern Expeditionary Army, Mr. Guan actually fought all the way to the Korean Peninsula, which can be called a military miracle in ancient China.

Since they are all called miracles, why are they so unknown?Probably because the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" was compiled by the Ming Dynasty, so the deeds of these people were not written in detail. By the time the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled, the deeds of these people had long been submerged.

However, the "History of Koryo" recorded this incident, which stated: "The red thief Pingzhang Pan Cheng, Sha Liu, Mr. Guan, Marshal Zhu and more than [-] people crossed the Yalu River", "Xin Chou, Sha Liu, Pan Pingzhang, Guan The sir waited for more than [-] thieves to go deep into Wangjing."

It turned out that this Northern Expeditionary Army was not only powerful and turned the Central Plains and the North upside down, but also after most of their attacks on the Yuan Dynasty were blocked, they turned their troops directly, walked through the Liaoxi Corridor, and captured Liaoyang City.And then, Mr. Guan led this partial division to fight more and more courageously, and simply crossed the Yalu River and invaded the Korean peninsula!
You must know that logistics has always been a big problem for expeditions to the Korean Peninsula in ancient societies, so only a few people such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Gaozong, Kublai Khan, and Huang Taiji have succeeded in Chinese history.

However, according to the records in "History of Koryo", these red scarf soldiers are completely rogues. They burnt the milk of pregnant women as food, and abused them to their will."Of course, considering that North Koreans have the political integrity of North Koreans, these descriptions may be somewhat exaggerated, and may even be simply framed.

In short, under the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the [-] Red Turban Army led by Mr. Guan and Potou Pan actually sang all the way and invaded the Korean Peninsula. What is even more bizarre is that the Koryo Army was vulnerable, and the Red Turban Army actually captured the Koryo King City Xijing—that is, Pyongyang today.

You know, this happened in 1356!This year, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't conquered Nanjing yet, and he didn't even have his own base, but the Red Turban Army had already turned the entire north upside down.

However, in fact, the timing was not very ripe at this time. At that time, the Yuan army was still very powerful, so the Yuan army quickly counterattacked, just like the Qing army counterattacked the Taiping army in the Northern Expedition. Starting from Zhili, the Red Turban Army Lost battles one after another.

In the end, the Yuan army conquered Bianliang, and Liu Futong's Northern Expedition not only failed to conquer Dadu, but also lost Bianliang, the base camp of his own rebel army.The next Northern Expedition will have to wait until 12 years later, that is, when Zhu Yuanzhang sends Xu Da to the Northern Expedition, then the time is ripe.

Obviously, Chinese history will only record Xu Da's Northern Expedition, and the rest will not be recorded in ink, let alone the affairs of the Korean Peninsula.However, at this time, a general appeared on the Korean peninsula. It was precisely this person who defeated the Red Scarf Army and rose all the way to the top with his military exploits. Who is he?Li Chenggui.

When Li Chenggui emerged, he was only 27 years old. At that time, he was just an ordinary general who was born in a powerful place... he could be regarded as a small warlord.

At that time, the Chinese Red Scarf Army invaded the Kingdom of Koryo and conquered Pyongyang, Xijing, and the situation was extremely critical.Since Goryeo was a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Goryeo urgently asked the Yuan Dynasty for help. However, the Yuan Dynasty was too busy to take care of themselves at this time, and obviously had no interest in saving him at all, so they could only let them save themselves.So, Goryeo Prime Minister Anyou and General Li Fangshi led 10,000+ troops to fight against the Red Scarf Army.

Coincidentally, the Goryeo Dynasty at this time is the same as the North Korea a few years ago. It has been peaceful for too long, and the army has no combat effectiveness at all. Beating a lesson makes you doubt your life.

At the critical moment, Li Chenggui stood up. He said that although the Red Turbans were coming fiercely, logistics was a big problem, and they had been supporting their wars by fighting. way, and then be able to defeat them.

The truth is this, but as the saying goes, only talking without practicing fake moves, only the hands can see the truth.Therefore, Li Chenggui led the 2000 elite soldiers he trained to fight, first cut off the retreat of the Red Turban Army, and then lured the Red Turban Army in Xijing out of the city to fight, and fought the Red Turban Army outside Xijing City.

At the critical moment of the war, the Koryo army finally arrived, and the two armies joined forces to defeat the Red Scarf Army. Li Chenggui even led a death squad to climb the Xijing City Tower, thus regaining Xijing.

In the future, young people rely on a small group of elite soldiers to defeat the invading enemy. Is this record similar to Li Shimin's battle at Hulaoguan?Yes, Li Chenggui's bravery on the Korean Peninsula at that time was like Li Shimin who defeated the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.

After this battle, Li Chenggui became famous.In addition, the activities of the Red Turban Army successfully freed the Koryo Kingdom from the control of the Yuan Dynasty and laid the foundation for self-reliance.At this time, King Gongmin of Goryeo himself was fatuous and cruel, and many generals who made great contributions were suspected by him and were killed one after another, such as Zheng Shiyun, An Cong, Jin Debei, Li Fangshi, etc., but Li Chenggui has always been highly valued and was not killed. .

The Goryeo Dynasty valued him very much and ordered him to lead the army to wait for the opportunity to recover the city captured by King Nahachu of Liaodong.Nahachu was a well-known power minister in the late Yuan Dynasty. He occupied Liaodong for a long time, and was later defeated and captured by Ming Dynasty in 1375.At this time, he was still ruling the king and hegemony in Liaodong, and he was invincible.

Li Chenggui adopted a night attack, crossed the mountains in the middle of the night, and personally led six hundred elite soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night.Later, he feigned defeat to lure the Yuan army and shot an elite general of the Yuan Dynasty to death.

Afterwards, Li Chenggui defeated Nahachu in the Battle of Hamhung. Nahachu failed completely and withdrew from the Korean peninsula, expressing his willingness to reconcile with Li Chenggui, and soon returned the two cities to King Gongmin of Goryeo, and praised Li Chenggui Said: "You are young and use soldiers like a god. You are a real genius. You will be in charge of great affairs in your country."

In other words, although King Gongmin was fatuous in the late Goryeo Dynasty, relying on Li Chenggui's military exploits, Goryeo, a small country that had long been difficult to expand its territory next to the Chinese Empire, actually completed a rare expansion of its territory.

Just as Annan's Southern Expedition destroyed the Champa Kingdom, the main direction of Koryo's expansion was in the north.Li Chenggui defeated Nahachu, and Goryeo conquered all the land in the lower reaches of the Yalu River.However, Li Chenggui was not satisfied, and wanted to conquer the Jurchen in the upper reaches of the Yalu River, and finally conquered the Jurchen of the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain, and his territory expanded to Changbai Mountain.

However, here comes the problem. In 1368, the once mighty Yuan Dynasty perished and was replaced by Ming Dynasty.In particular, what Li Chenggui did not expect was that the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty actually conquered Dadu in one fell swoop, which shocked him very much.

After that, in 1375, the Ming Dynasty perished and Naha came out and captured Liaodong.However, at this time, King Gongmin of Koryo was already addicted to expanding his territory. After he was assassinated, his successor Wang Xuan was also addicted to expansion. He even ordered Li Chenggui to send troops to attack Liaodong and start a war with Ming Dynasty.

Li Chenggui had fought against the Red Turban Army in his early years, and he knew the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army. He had been thinking about going to war with Daming for a long time, and finally came up with an idea.

Since then, Li Chenggui stationed troops on Weihua Island on the Yalu River for a long time, but he refused to send troops anyway, and the King of Korea's urging was useless.Finally, one day, something unexpected happened. Li Chenggui sent troops, but he did not go north, but south—he directly conquered the royal city and overthrew Wang's Koryo.

Previously, King Gongmin of Korea killed most of the generals in the name of treason, so at this moment his son really became a lonely family.Perhaps what he never dreamed of was that his most trusted Li Chenggui actually rebelled and established a new country.

After overthrowing Wang's Koryo, Li Chenggui turned around and sent a letter to Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, asking for it to be repaired.Speaking of the changes in Goryeo at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very surprised.He had heard a long time ago that King Gongmin of Korea was a lunatic, long-term expansionist, tyrannical and innocent, but fortunately he was assassinated later, so Zhu Yuanzhang also valued Li Chenggui very much.

However, since Li Chenggui founded the country, it is inappropriate to use Goryeo as the country name, so Li Chenggui sent someone to discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang very knowledgeable about current affairs.

At that time, there were suggestions to call it "Three Hans", and others suggested to call it "Guning", because there was an ancient country "Gunning Gaya", and some people suggested calling it Joseon, because the earliest regime in this land was the ancient Joseon country established by Jizi. , has a history of 3000 years, and the original meaning of "North Korea" is "the sun is bright", and the meaning is also very good.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang chose "North Korea" in the end, so he gave Li Chenggui the country name "North Korea." In this regard, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea became friends.However, good friends belonged to good friends, and Zhu Yuanzhang soon realized that something was wrong. At that time, the northern part of North Korea, Tielingwei in the north of Ping'an Road, was originally the territory under the direct jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty, but at this time it was under the jurisdiction of North Korea.

But the timing at this time was not very good. In order to appease the new Li family's Korean regime, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to take a step back and withdraw Tieling Weibei to the north of the Yalu River, and established it in Liaodong, which was later Tieling.

Zhu Yuanzhang had another consideration at the time, that is, the Jurchens in the upper reaches of the Yalu River have always been difficult to manage, and Lee's North Korea may not have a good way to deal with them, at least in the short term.However, Zhu Yuanzhang's military focus at this time was in Yunnan, so he ignored it for the time being in the Northeast.Sure enough, the Jurchens under Lee's Joseon rule rebelled many times later.

In fact, what was more important at that time was that the place where the Jurchens lived in the Northeast was not yet under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty, so Ming Dynasty had no particularly suitable reason to stop North Korea.When Cheng Zu Zhu Di came to the throne, he sent people to appease the Jurchens in the Northeast, and established the "Nuer Gandu Division" to govern the Northeast.So far, the Jurchen talents in the Northeast are all under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty bordered North Korea not only in Liaodong in the west, but also in the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain in the east.So here comes the problem again. The land on the upper reaches of the Yalu River has been annexed by North Korea for a long time, which is the area of ​​North Hamgyong Province that Zhu Yijun is pointing at at this moment.

However, Daming's main energy at this time is not in North Korea, but in the Northern Yuan Dynasty—the five expeditions to Mobei.Therefore, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di decided to recognize the fait accompli and agreed to use the Yalu River as the boundary with North Korea. The north belonged to Daming and the south belonged to North Korea. This meant that North Korea owned the upper reaches of the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain.

This is also the reason why North Korea has always owned this land, that is, "Taizong bestows soil" recorded in Korean history books, which means that His Majesty Taizong has a lot of people, and he gave us this land, and did not fight us for it.

In the end, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, King Sejong of Korea launched the Battle of the Zhupo River, breaking through all the Jurchen strongholds on the south bank of the Yalu River and the Tumen River, and finally completed all the conquests of the Yalu River and the south of the Tumen River, and formally drew up with the Ming Dynasty. River rule.

However, Zhu Di still kept an eye on it at the time. He set up Jianzhou Guard on the land of Daming on the north bank of the Yalu River, with the purpose of supervising North Korea on the south bank of the Yalu River.However, no one may have thought that this Jianzhou Guard would produce a Nurhachi hundreds of years later, and Nurhachi in the original history became a traitor of Ming Dynasty.

This is the history of the northward expansion of the Joseon Dynasty. In short, small countries also have expansion ambitions, but they are limited by their strength, and most of them fail. The troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty provided an opportunity for North Korea, so there are two different geographies. picture.

Although a period of dusty history was involved, all the elders of the Ming Dynasty Pavilion were born in the Imperial Academy, and they can be said to be academic masters per capita. They all know about this period of history, so when Zhu Yijun put out the Kanyu map, everyone knew what was going on.

The difference between the two Kanyu maps is self-evident, what matters is the intention of the emperor's move, which is the key.

Some things are not convenient for others to say, but Wang Jiaping, as the chief assistant, had to talk about it, so he asked: "From the two pictures shown by the emperor, it can be seen that the Northeast of Joseon is not the homeland of Koryo. Could it be that the emperor wants to take back this place?"

Zhu Yijun didn't answer directly, but looked around at the other officials and asked, "What do you guys think?"

This is a reminder, and Liang Menglong, as the second assistant, had no choice but to follow Wang Jiaping and said: "The demarcation of the Yalu River is an old thing in the Yongle period. Cheng Zu demarcated this boundary with the intention of rewarding North Korea for being a vassal. Now if you want to take it back ...I don’t know if there is a reason that everyone can believe in?”

The third member of the cabinet was Gao Yushi, but Gao Yushi himself was not there, so he was skipped, and it was Zhao Zhigao's turn to make a statement.

Zhao Zhigao said sickly: "The reason is easy to find, but it may be a bit difficult to 'everyone can be convinced'."

Well, that's the quintessential type of "right crap".If Zhu Yijun wants to take back this piece of land, the reason is of course easy to find. For example, the Koreans themselves say that this piece of land comes from "Taizong bestowed land", which means that this piece of land was "given" by Zhu Di. Since it is a gift , that can naturally be taken back——Zhu Yijun, as the Son of Heaven, theoretically speaking, can even send it to North Korea with an edict, saying that this piece of land will not be given to you now.

But obviously, it is impossible to "convince everyone" by doing this. Why did you go back on the land that your ancestors gave to the ancestors of the Joseon King Li Zhan for no reason?The majestic emperor of the Ming Dynasty, where is his reputation?

After Zhao Zhigao finished speaking, it was time for Shen Yiguan to express his opinion.Shen Yiguan likes to form cliques in the court, so it can be seen that he is a person with a great desire for power. Such a person is naturally very interested in the court's "opening up the territory", so he immediately said: "Everyone is convinced Although the reason is difficult to find, it cannot be said that there is no such thing, I have two strategies for the emperor to consider."

"I didn't say what I'm going to do..." Zhu Yijun explained for a while, but then changed the subject and said, "But since Mr. Shen has plans, you might as well talk about it."

Shen Yiguan has been a lecturer and an academic officer for many years, and he still knows a little about the emperor. He smiled slightly and said: "One plan is to take Hamgyongdo and other places in Northeast Korea as gifts for the reason of recovering the capital for North Korea twice. .The grace of re-creation is so great. It is natural for our Heavenly Dynasty to take a little bit of gratitude. Who can blame me for taking Hamgyong and other places for this reason?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Yijun seemed to respond, but it didn't seem to be a response, and he didn't know what the intention was.

Seeing this, Shen Yiguan knew that although Zhu Yijun might not be very opposed to this approach, he was not particularly satisfied, so he said: "Second plan, the imperial court does not adopt the Xianjing way, but the Jurchen's various ministries. Jurchen, my imperial court The fence is also the reason for taking Hamgyong Tao.

There are three reasons: first, the place was originally the old land of the Jurchen 200 years ago, and the Jurchen took it to return the property to the original owner, which is a matter of course;

Second, in recent years, the Jurchen tribes have repeatedly followed up with the conquests. This time, Pingwo also accepted the order of the Ming Dynasty and sent troops to join the war. Their loyalty should be rewarded, and it is reasonable to reward them with the old land of Jurchen;
Third, after years of evolution of the Jurchen ministries, there are still four strong forces, namely Yehe, Jianzhou, Hada, and Ula.Among them, Yehe and Hada can be regarded as my most loyal right-hand men in Liaodong, and the Wula tribe is difficult to play a role because of its remote location, although they are both our dynasty's fence.

Of the four forces, Jianzhou is naturally the one that has attracted the most attention. At that time, Jianzhou's elite soldiers were very strong, and there was a faint tendency to rise. Later, Jianzhou was divided into two points.

Although these measures are effective, the strength of Jianzhou left back Nurhachi is still overwhelming the right back Shuerhaqi, which can be regarded as a major unstable factor in Liaodong and needs to be dealt with urgently.

Taking advantage of this situation, if the imperial court can exchange Hamgyong Road and other places for Nurhachi to move southward, and order him to return Jianzhou Zuowei to today's various places, then Hamgyong Road and other places will return to Ming Dynasty in name, and Nurhachi will abandon the old land and move to the south. Occupying a new land will take more time to consolidate, so there will be no power to disrupt the Liao Dynasty. Isn't this killing multiple birds with one stone? "

His words were more practical than those of the previous few, and even inspired Zhou Yong, the new Dongge University scholar who was ranked last in the cabinet.

Zhou Yong immediately added: "Shen Ge's words are reasonable, and in my humble opinion, I am afraid that there are more than the benefits mentioned by Shen Ge just now. I think that once this move is successful, the original Jianzhou Zuowei land will be returned. Quite useful.

For example, the imperial court can directly govern it, send officials to govern it, or set up a new Han military guard, just like the story of the six castles in Kuandian; or it can be used as a reward to reward Yehe and Hada.

Of course, if it is used as a reward, then there are two options: one is to reward directly, that is, to divide these areas to Yehe and Hada, but the court must not be too fair. The rewards of the second part of Hada are quite different.

In this way, discord between the two ministries can be made convenient for the court to support the weak and resist the strong, and ensure the balance of strength among the Jurchen ministries, so Liaodong is naturally stable.

The second is to order Yehe and Hada to also "relocate the town", give up all or part of the original territory, and move south to Jianzhou Zuowei territory. How to change the territory can be discussed slowly, but in short, it still needs to be changed. It is important that the three tribes of Yehe, Hada and Nurhachi are adjacent to each other and at the same time close to Daming.

In this way, Ula is too far away, so it can be ignored for the time being, and Manchuria will become a tripartite confrontation, which is the most convenient way to combine vertical and horizontal.At this time, my Ming Dynasty is aloof, as long as I ensure that none of the three parts is completely annexed, Manchuria will not be unified, and Liaodong will always be safe and peaceful. "

Zhou Yong was the latest to join the cabinet, and he joined the cabinet largely because of good luck. He caught up with the black swan events such as the downfall of Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue. Therefore, his status has always been embarrassing, and the attitude of the emperor and the cabinet officials towards him Although there is nothing wrong with it on the surface, in fact it is somewhat contemptuous.

Therefore, Zhou Yong himself also hoped to have a chance to show his face. He was quite satisfied with what he said just now, and the effect was really good after he finished speaking.Judging from the faces of the cabinet members, no matter how they expressed their position before, they couldn't help showing a look of thought after hearing this. It can be seen that everyone thinks it is worth a try, but Zhou Yong proposed more than one plan, so everyone needs to weigh it trade off.

Zhu Yijun also seemed to be quite moved, and pondered: "Then what choice does Zhou Aiqing think is the most beneficial to my Daming?"

Zhou Yongdao: "If it is said that it is most beneficial to Daming, it is natural that the Jurchen as a whole moved southward, that is, Nurhachi moved to Xianjing Road in the town, and Yehe and Hada moved southward to the vicinity of Zuowei in Jianzhou.

However, how to allocate the territories should be carefully calculated. Otherwise, it may be okay to say that the Hada tribe originally had a small territory, but Ye Heyuan's territory is quite large. It may be difficult to move south without harming their interests, so there will inevitably be hidden dangers. up. "
