Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1592 Sending Troops to Korea
The envoys of the Turghut tribe, from the Volga River to across the Kazakh Khanate and back to Ili in the Tianshan Mountains, could not do it for a year or a half.

Chu Yun now has a difficult matter at hand - Zheng Zhilong, who guards Seoul, telegraphs the capital, and the governor of Korea, Kim Zidian, is attacked by rebels and nearly dies.

Almost all places in East Asia that were influenced by the cultural circle of the Central Plains fell under the control of Chu Yun, and became the jurisdiction of each province. Only Koryo still had a king, but the king Li Wei lived in the capital. Jin Zidian served as governor.

There are still rebels in Koryo, and Chu Yun has just allowed the rebels to exist.

The rebellion in Koryo State lasted for several years, and many villages and towns were burned by the war. According to the estimates of the military department, at least tens of 10 people died due to the plague and fire caused by the war, and the population of Koryo State was greatly reduced.

This time, the governor of Korea, Kim Zidian, was attacked, which triggered a new round of panic in the country of Korea.

"Many people were dissatisfied with Jin Zidian after he became the governor. Although he defeated the rebels many times, the rebels seemed to have infiltrated into his troops and wanted to kill him through the simple and effective method of assassination. "

"Should we send troops to Korea and turn it into the No.20 second province?"

Faced with a worsening situation, imperial officials are debating whether to send troops to the Koryo Peninsula, abolish the viceroy system and turn it into the 22nd province.

"Those landlords in Koryo should be tired. We should pick the fruits. Let Mrs. Yang's First Corps stationed in Liaodong cross the Yalu River to completely suppress the rebellion in Koryo. He serves as a magistrate." At this time, Chu Yun unceremoniously decided to annex Korea.

This time should be the best time. Koryo lost a large number of people due to the war. The war caused bandits to run rampant. Many landlords were bankrupted by bandits and rebels. Taxes were raised, the strong men were recruited, and the people were in dire straits. Now Korea is in need of a savior who can restore peace to the local area as soon as possible.Landlords may make the necessary compromises in order to restore peace.

"In addition to Mrs. Yang's First Corps attacking from land, the Beiyang Fleet guaranteed control of Seoul and other ports. The current Governor of Korea, Kim Zidian, led the Koryo Royal Army to cooperate with the First Corps to suppress the rebellion."

"The Ministry of Officials needs to select a group of officials to establish a team for the Goryeo Province, and prepare to go to Seoul and various provinces to carry out reforms and management, and change the eight provinces of Goryeo into eight prefectures, with counties under the prefectures." Chu Yun said.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials heard that the Koryo Province would be established, with eight prefectures under it. This is a huge vacancy for officials, and a large number of officials can be promoted.

"The king of Koryo, Li Mo, is still in the capital. He is your disciple, and he is still the nominal king of Koryo. Do you want him to go back to serve as a civil affairs officer, or issue a notice announcing that he will give up his position as king and entrust his land and subjects to the government?" Manage it for us?" an official asked.

"He should be willing to give up the throne."

Chu Yun also knew that the Lee Dynasty was deeply rooted in the Koryo Peninsula, and many commoners knew that there was a king above their heads. Letting Li Mo give up the orthodox status of the Lee Dynasty on the Peninsula was equivalent to ending the era of kingship on the Peninsula.

"As for the appointment of Li Luo as the civil affairs officer of the Goryeo Province, forget it. He has no political talent. As compensation for his abandonment of the throne, the Goryeo Province will give the royal family a fixed amount of money every year as an expense." Chu Yun said to Li Wei is still taking care of him.

It was even worse in Dongying. The emperor was directly deposed as a commoner without any subsidies, and the shogun was even exiled to the farm for reform through labor.

"Shouldn't those lands also be nationalized?"

"That's right, anyone who dared to resist was arrested, and the rebels were executed. The acquired land was contracted out on a household basis, and patrols of the local villages were strengthened to ensure that those landlords would not cause trouble after their land was confiscated."

"We'll go down and make arrangements."

After sending a large army to occupy Goryeo, the entire East Asia has become the territory of the empire, and the expansion of the territory has reached its peak.In this way, there will be no worries.

Chu Yun didn't worry much about cultural issues. Compared with other places, people in the Koryo Peninsula were more able to accept Han culture. It only took hundreds of years of rule to basically digest it.

As for whether they can defeat the rebels of the Goryeo Kingdom, there is basically no problem. The fully armed First Corps and the Beiyang Fleet can be pushed all the way.

Chu Yun then recruited Li Mo and announced the empire's decision to him.

Li Mo and Princess Jiang have been recuperating in the capital for the past few years. Li Mo's complexion is obviously much better than when he was the king of Koryo. Jiang also gave birth to a son and a daughter.

After learning that the empire decided to let him give up the throne of Koryo, Li Mo was very calm: "The royal family is not good. It is common for brothers and sisters to kill each other. My father even wanted to kill me. I am willing to give up the throne of Koryo. Maybe that's for the good of the common people."

"The empire will allocate funds to you every year, so you don't have to worry about your future life." Chu Yun gave the necessary return for his cooperation.

Compared with the annual taxes collected from Korea, the funds provided to the Li Mo royal family are only a drop in the bucket, which is not a loss.

"I want to go back to Beijing Normal University to study and become a scholar in the future." Li Mo finally chose to give up politics and concentrate on becoming a scholar.

"You can enter any academy." Chu Yun agreed casually.

After settling the affairs of Koryo, he only needs to stay in the capital, and various departments will send troops to quell the rebellion of Koryo and establish a province there.

It is not uncommon to establish a new province, or they have sufficient experience, and a large number of provinces have been established before that.

When Chu Yun returned to the mansion as usual, he found that the expressions of the women in the mansion were a little strange.Especially Xiao Xiu'er, who was always calm, actually felt a bit sour.

"What happened?" Chu Yun asked.

"Your Excellency, please read this telegram. Britain has sent envoys again. They have already arrived in Malacca, and they will immediately send a telegram to the capital to inform the matter." Aila raised a telegram.

"Doesn't the British Mission come every year or every two years? It's not surprising." Chu Yun didn't find it strange.

Now there are merchant ships coming and going between the East and the West every year, and even the people in the capital are surprised by the Western diplomatic missions.

"There is nothing surprising about the British Mission, but my lord, what if you have another son?"
