Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 848 The Exiled Prince of Korea (Part [-])
Chu Yun's guess was right. After Li Yi, the heir of the Koryo king, was exiled to Jeju Island, Jin Zidian, the servant who followed Li Yi, rushed to ask Chu Yun for help on a Chinese merchant's sailboat.Jin Zidian was exiled to Jeju Island because he had been following Li Yi and waiting for Li Yi to take over the throne from Injo.It is only possible to escape from Jeju Island by taking a sailboat of a Chinese merchant.

When Jin Zidian saw Chu Yun, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, which made Chu Yun feel a little overwhelmed.

"The civil servants in the imperial court are all wolves in sheep's clothing. They are calm on the surface, but they are united behind the scenes to resist the reform of our Royal Highness... Wang Shizi and Princess Jiang were arrested in Jeju On the island, and working during the day..." Jin choked up.

"What did Li Yan do that would cause the civil officials to unite against him?" Chu Yun asked.

"The rivalry between cronies in our dynasty was even worse than that at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese and military officials of the imperial court were divided into the Western Party, the Northern Party, and the Southern Party, and the Northern Party was further divided into the Great Northern Party and the Small Northern Party. The Xiaobei faction is divided into the Qingxiaobei faction and the Zhuoxiaobei faction. The Xiren Party is divided into the Gongxi faction and the Qingxi faction. I was originally a member of the Gongxi faction, but after I followed Wang Shizi, I left The Gongxi School established the Reform School..." Jin Zidian said.

Chu Yun felt a little headache when he heard that, the crony rivalry in Koryo was really fierce. A court was divided into several factions, and each faction was divided into several factions, and then continued to be divided into other factions... But it was the Ming Dynasty or the Goryeo Kingdom, The phenomenon of rolling each other like this shows that the emergence of crony disputes is definitely not accidental.This is the original sin of bureaucracy. All bureaucrats like to form cliques to maximize their own interests.

Jin Zidian continued: "Originally, the villain established the Reform Party to win over all Koreans who came to study in the Academy of Sciences, and better assist Wang Shizi to carry out reforms in Korea. Our number has expanded from a dozen people at the beginning to several. Hundreds of people, many of them are the children of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and they are likely to be the next generation of civil officials. If they can grow up, His Royal Highness Wang Shizi will have enough capital to fight against the old school of civil officials. This is exactly what I plan of."

"According to the villain's idea, under the control of our reformers, His Royal Highness Wang Shizi only needs to continue to build factories, develop the economy, and improve his reputation among the rich and powerful businessmen. In the future, he will be able to own the businessmen of this group. Support. I don’t want the prince’s determination to be too firm, and he proposed to His Majesty the king that the land should be nationalized in advance. It’s okay not to mention it, but it will poke a hornet’s nest. Civil officials from various parties in the court united and accused His Royal Highness Wang Shizi is obsessed with steam engines and other strange skills, and even tried to contact you, the military leader, to usurp the throne. His Majesty the King was furious, and sent the Imperial Forest Army to arrest Wang Shizi and us, and exile them to Jeju Island..."

Chu Yun understood what was going on after hearing what Jin Zi said.In fact, Li Yi's land nationalization proposal touched the interests of the civil official group as a large feudal landlord, so it drew revenge from the civil official group.In addition, the King of Korea had scruples about his eldest son who had grown up, so he fell into trouble by the way.

Li Yan proposed the nationalization of the land when he was still the crown prince. This is a big step, and it is no wonder that he will fail because of this.

Chu Yun felt that Li Yan was still too idealistic, and this was also a kind of "academic" trait that every person who came out of the Academy of Sciences possessed.Li Yan is a prince who grew up in peace. Compared with Chu Yun who started from scratch, he doesn't know that not everything can be done by himself.

Chu Yun believed that if he did not have the Industrial Revolution system, he would have died dozens of times by this step.

"I understand your request." Chu Yun sighed.

He is now the person with the most powerful military force in East Asia, and many things require him to intervene.

"The villain took the risk of killing himself and came to the capital from Jeju Island on a ship passing by Chinese merchants. Your Majesty, the great military lord, please save the prince!" Jin begged.

"How does Li Yan want me to help him? How do you Goryeo reformers plan me to help him? When he came to visit me a year ago, I intended to let him replace the current Injo as the king of Goryeo, but he refused me." proposal." Chu Yun thought of the scene of meeting Li Yan last year.

"The crown prince is a generous man, and he often measures others with the greatest goodwill, so he will be taken advantage of by traitors. Even if he is exiled to Jeju Island, he still believes that His Majesty the king will release him soon. But the villain thinks..." Jin Said from the point.

"What do you think?"

"The villain is not afraid to speak out. I am afraid that the prince will continue to stay in Jeju Island. The ministers in the court are still whispering that His Majesty's poison will be sent to Jeju Island soon. If this continues, His Royal Highness may not survive this year... ..." Kim said hesitantly.

This man is very powerful, and dare to speak the truth.Seeing that Jin Zidian's guess coincided with his, Chu Yun couldn't help being secretly surprised.You must know that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, Li Yi is not smart enough, but because he is in the middle of the game.It is very rare for Jin Zidian to see this clearly.

"That is to say, Li Yan didn't mean to ask me for help, but the ones who took the initiative to ask me for help are you who support Li Yan. How do you plan to let me intervene in this incident?" Chu Yun asked.

"The villain has the audacity to ask His Majesty the Great Military Lord to send troops into Hanjing, and through the army to put pressure on the conservatives in the capital, let His Majesty the King and the conservatives announce the cancellation of the edict to exile His Royal Highness the prince." Jin Zidian said.

"It's just to ask for the release of Li Yan. There is no need to send troops. I just need to send a few envoys to say something." Chu Yun said calmly.

Now there are only three powers left in East Asia, China, Dongying, and Koryo. Dongying and Koryo combined are not enough for the Kyushu army to fight. If the king of Koryo is required to release a person, there is no need to send troops there!

"If you have to mobilize the army, unless you want to change the dynasty of Goryeo..." Chu Yun added later.

After hearing this, Jin Zidian's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, you mean..."

"I think Li Yan is young and promising, and has enthusiasm and drive. He is very suitable to be the next king of Goryeo... and Jin Zi thinks that you are very smart. I think your talents should not be limited to the three acres of Goryeo. On the sub-district, you must know that this world is huge, and you can definitely do even greater things..." Chu Yun said meaningfully.
