After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 134 Dispatching Confucian Scholars
"Now that we have occupied Goryeo, sending troops from Goryeo to attack the Japanese country will be as easy as the palm of your hand!"

"Not bad!"

"exactly!"

"In those days, Liu Rengui defeated the Japanese state in Goryeo."

The ministers said in succession.

"His Majesty's occupation of Goryeo is really far-sighted!"

"The significance of Goryeo to me, Daming, is too great."

"I implore the emperor to give me [-] navy troops to start from Busan, Korea, and attack the Japanese mainland." Tang He knelt down on one knee and recited, "Teach the Japanese slave country a small lesson, so that they will not dare to dare. Year after year harassing me along the coast of Fujian."

"This move can also raise my country's prestige, and even make Japan a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it, and apparently had no plans to attack the Japanese for the time being.After all, Hua Yunlong's foundation in Goryeo is unstable now, and Daming's naval soldiers and naval combat experience are still somewhat lacking.

……

"In short, South Korea is rich in fisheries, and there are huge horse farms. It is equivalent to the rooster's beak, which can be eaten. Its strategic location is so important, it is equivalent to the rooster's beak. It can defeat all incoming enemies." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Now that Hua Yunlong has won Goryeo, it's like giving the Daming rooster a chicken mouth!"

As he spoke, he also used a bamboo pole to draw a rough outline of the map of the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers looked at it, and it really looked a lot like it!

"Your Majesty's achievements can be passed on to thousands of generations."

"The emperor's cultural and martial arts are unparalleled in ancient and modern times."

"With Goryeo's chicken mouth, Daming's national fortune has undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant."

"From now on, not only will the rooster not be hungry, but it will also have the ability to resist all incoming enemies. Because the rooster's beak is not only a necessary part of foraging, but also a powerful combat weapon."

"Whoever dares to commit a crime will peck out its eyes."

"It's ridiculous that the pedantic scholar who read Wang Lei actually used the humility and benevolence of the Chinese nation as a reason, and used death to persuade the emperor to send troops to Goryeo. It's really stupid!"

"Wang Lei thinks that he will be famous for daring to remonstrate, but in fact he will be laughed at by the world. His Majesty's execution of the nine clans is also what he deserves."

"He's not arrogant, he's just short-sighted!"

"A pedantic scholar trying to stop the emperor's great achievements. Who does he think he is? He thinks his idea is right? However, his vision is not even one ten thousandth of the emperor's."

"If the emperor hadn't used the thunder method at that time, Wang Lei, a pedantic person, would have missed the country."

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang killed Wang Lei and the other nine clans of scholars, there have been many rumors against him among scholars in the world.It is said that the emperor acts cruelly, and he does not listen to the bad advice.

Now, Liu Bowen, Gao Qi and other civil servants said this, it was equivalent to standing on the emperor's side.

From then on, the unfavorable rumors of the emperor will gradually disappear, and instead, scholars all over the world will laugh at Wang Lei's short-sightedness and almost realize the national affairs.Since ancient times, most scholars have wronged the country. If you don't have a very clear vision, don't talk about state affairs.However, those scholars were very self-righteous and felt that their vision was higher than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

They only read books for a few days, they study behind closed doors, and they have never even gone far away, while Zhu Yuanzhang became an emperor from a beggar, and once moved to the north and south of the Central Plains.

How do the two compare?
……

"Today, it has become a foregone conclusion that Goryeo is included in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But the people of Goryeo are very backward in thinking and culture. They do not respect the king and do not learn the way of the saints. What we need to do next is to send a large number of Confucian scholars. In the past, teach them to respect kings and learn the way of saints."

"So Daming needs to send a large number of Confucian scholars over immediately to teach them the way of the saints. And tell them that Goryeo is the descendant of Jizi, and Jizi is the son of King Wen of Shang, Goryeo and the people of Zhongyuan are originally a family, everyone They are all descendants of Yan and Huang without distinction between you and me. The officials of Daming managed them in the past, and it was their own people who managed their own people. In the future, Daming and Goryeo will prosper together."

"The sages of Confucius are ours and theirs at the same time. They should abide by the thoughts of sages of Confucianism and patriotism. The Dragon Boat Festival is ours and theirs, so is Taiji gossip... In short, let them feel the pride of being the descendants of Yan and Huang. ."

Need Confucian scholars to educate them in the past?The ministers were speechless when they heard the words: Daming is now carrying out cultural reforms, and the emerging culture focuses on the openness of individual minds, and has gradually weakened the influence of Confucianism.

But now the emperor wants to send Confucian scholars to Goryeo to teach Goryeo Confucianism.

"Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Gao Qi, you are the most famous Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Which one do you think should be sent to Koryo Province?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Which one of you will bring a team of Confucian scholars over there personally, or do you give it to us? Recommend someone?"

Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Liu Bowen looked at each other and didn't answer.They still miss the Central Plains a little, and do not want to travel thousands of miles to Korea.They are all very old and do not have the aggressiveness of young people.

Liu Bowen, now I just want to go back to Qingtian to retire.

And Goryeo is too far away, and there are many people who do not respect the king.If he took the Confucian scholar to the past, there must be a lot of things to do, and it would be very tiring.It's like opening up a new cultural battlefield and fighting a culture war.

Even one's own life may be threatened.

After all, Koreans are not from the Central Plains, and there must be many extremists among them.

Although they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, this concept is not too deep.

Song Lian and Gao Qi also had the same idea.

"This minister recommends a person for His Majesty." Liu Bowen said, "Ma Junze, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, can take this position."

"The old minister also means this." Song Lian said, "Ma Sheng is very knowledgeable, especially Confucian, and has deep attainments in Confucianism. And this year, he is only in his twenties, he is young and energetic, and he is full of energy. Province, and make merit for Your Majesty."

"The minister also recommended this person." Gao Qi said, "Ma Jun is very alert, and his ability is sufficient for the job."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let Ma Jun send [-] Confucian students over there. Of these [-] Confucian students, at least [-] must be selected from the Hanlin Academy, and all of them must have a solid foundation in Confucianism. The rest of the entourage, at least It is more than a scholar, famous, and will not lose Da Ming's face after going there."

"You want to transfer 200 people from the Imperial Academy?" Gao Qi was depressed for a moment, "Your Majesty, if you transfer so many people from the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy is empty. And you have to transfer [-] scholars. So many talents?"
