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

Chapter 238 Daming Is Here To Let You Recognize Your Ancestors
Although Goryeo is now the de facto province of Ming Dynasty, and Hua Yunlong's monopoly on King Gongmin is just a puppet, but after all, it has not been officially announced.

In name, Koryo is still ruled by King Gongmin, and Koryo is only a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

Although it would be a matter of time before Goryeo became a province of Ming Dynasty, at least for now, King Gongmin had to be given some face, and he should be treated as the lord of a country.

Hua Yunlong has been promoting Confucianism education in Goryeo for a while, and now that the prince of Ming Dynasty has helped them regain the most important island of Tsushima, the people of Goryeo will have a greater sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty.

When the time is ripe for the announcement, it will be easier for the people to accept it in their hearts, and they will not breed too strong rebellious psychology.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, and at the same time, there is no need to worry.

It is estimated that after two or three years, when Ming soldiers and Korean women give birth to a group of children of Han blood, it can be announced.

Moreover, in order to express his gratitude to Daming for helping them regain their lost ground, King Gongmin had to express his gratitude.

For example, donate some gold and silver, or promise other things that are conducive to promoting the culture of the Central Plains.

……

Soon, the Ming warship will be able to see Tsushima Island.

"Anchor, stop the boat!" Ten miles away from Tsushima Island, Zhu Di issued the military order!
Then the warships collectively bombarded Tsushima Island ahead.

After a burst of fierce artillery bombardment, the Japanese fortifications on Tsushima Island were completely destroyed.The sergeants stationed in the Japanese country fired a few cannons symbolically, all of which fell into the sea. The range of the Japanese native guns was less than half of the range of the Shenji cannon.

Even more inferior in power.

Comparing the two is the crushing of backwardness by civilization.

Seeing that Tsushima Island had been captured, Xie Cheng ordered two warships to dock, and the soldiers went up to clean up the battlefield and the remaining Japanese pirates on it.

"His Royal Highness, the range of our cannon is ten miles?" Hu Weiyong said in shock.

"Yes." Zhu Di said.

"Then, just now, Your Highness, why did you wait for the Japanese warships to be so close before fighting?" Xie Cheng asked puzzled, "As a result, some of our warships were damaged to varying degrees."

"This king is afraid that they will run away if they see the situation is not good," Zhu Di said.

"After all, we are fighting in the mainland of Japan. If some of their warships are released, the transportation and supplies in this sea area will be harassed by their warships in the future, and they will not tire of it."

"Although their artillery fire is far inferior to ours, it's easy to hide with open guns and difficult to defend with hidden arrows. Moreover, the Waguo Sea is still a sea area they are familiar with, and strong dragons will not overwhelm snakes. No matter how advanced our firearms are, we are afraid that they will make a sneak attack from time to time. .”

"It's not that advanced weapons make you invincible. We also need to avoid losses as much as possible."

"So all their warships must be completely destroyed, so that they can be done once and for all, and they can rest easy from now on."

"Now the king has paid a very small price to wipe out the Japanese warships, avoiding all future troubles, and it is a good deal."

"Your Highness is wise!" Xie Cheng said.

"Set sail and go to Fukuoka to land on the Japanese land." Zhu Di said, "Our follow-up elites, the Longxiang Guard, the Eagle Guard, the Leopard Guard, the Flying Bear Guard... will keep up with them in warships. I don't think it will take much. In a few days, [-] Ming elites will be able to descend from the sky and appear in the Japanese mainland."

"His Royal Highness." Hu Weiyong said, "The Wa country is a 'country' standing side by side. There are large and small family forces everywhere on the land. They all have their own retainers and samurai. So even if we defeat Ashikaga Yoshimitsu The Kamakura shogunate, the other 'countries' may not necessarily surrender. At that time, we will have to divide our forces to attack and defeat all the feudal lords."

"To put it simply, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is only the leader of the alliance of princes in the Wa Kingdom, just like Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes of the Eighteen Towns against Dong. Only the leader of the alliance is defeated, and the other princes will still resist us."

"It was precisely because I knew about this situation in the Wa Kingdom that my father sent me [-] elite troops." Zhu Di said, "After we landed in the Wa Kingdom, there are still many battles, large and small, to be fought."

"The emperor is far-sighted and extremely wise!" The crowd said one after another.

"But it should be that there are very few big battles, but there are many small battles." Hu Weiyong said, "After all, the 'states' of the Wa Kingdom are relatively small, and the smallest one dares to call itself a country if it occupies a village. A medium-sized one is a country. Most of the county’s territory is like this. The larger ones occupy an island whose area is equivalent to a state capital of Ming Dynasty.”

"Although the scale is not very large, there are too many feudal lords, and it will be troublesome to wipe them out one by one."

"When fighting on the territory of other countries, the most fearful thing is that you are not familiar with the place. The soldiers and civilians of the Japanese country will secretly attack from time to time." Xie Chengdao, "Although our firearms are much more advanced than theirs, we cannot afford such consumption."

"So, we have to hold up a banner of justice." Hu Weiyong said.

"What kind of banner?" Zhu Di asked.

"For example, we can declare that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's position is not right, and that Daming is here to help Ikkyu Zongchun restore it." Hu Weiyong said, "It is the most stupid way to conquer any piece of land by force alone. It must be combined with force and strategy. .”

"Not bad." Zhu Di said.

"My old Xie doesn't understand these things." Xie Cheng said.

"In addition, we can also claim that the Wa people were originally brought by Xu Fu, descendants of three thousand boys and girls. They are also descendants of China, and Ming Dynasty came to let you recognize your ancestors." Hu Weiyong said.

"Yeah, yeah." Zhu Di nodded, "This plan is very clever."

"Since we are here to make them recognize their ancestors, shouldn't we stop killing them?" Xie Cheng said.

"It depends." Zhu Di thought for a moment and said, "According to historical records, Xu Fu led [-] virgins to the island during the Yayoi period. But at that time, there were already many primitive residents in the Wa Kingdom."

"At that time, they had no writing, no farming, and they were still living a life of slash-and-burn farming. It was Xu Fu who taught them medical technology. Xu Fu was a Taoist and a doctor, farming technology and writing. In their eyes, Xu Fu was the 'God of Agriculture', 'The God of Medicine'”

"That is to say, the current Japanese people are only some descendants of three thousand virgins, and some are descendants of primitive people."

"How about this, as long as the Wa people who admit that they are descendants of Xu Fu, we will give them money and food. For those who do not admit that they are stubborn, we will be stricter with them."

"Your Highness, this is a great idea!" Hu Weiyong couldn't help applauding after hearing this, "In this way, they can be divided. Let those who admit it internally fight against those who don't."
