Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 653 The final right of interpretation belongs to Da Meng

The information Zhao Pu heard from the sea merchants was more detailed than the light curtain and closer to the present.

Zhao Kuangyin also listened with great interest. He paid no attention to the quarrel between the prime minister and the mage. He pondered for a moment and seemed to understand something:
"So starting from Mingzhou Port, the journey southward is long and dangerous, but the benefits gained are several times greater than going northward?"

"Yes." Zhao Pu confirmed:

"There is another trade route, which goes from Ryukyu along the small islands in the northeast and eventually reaches Japan."

"This route is the most compromised. It takes longer than going north from Mingzhou, but it takes less time than going to Southeast Asia. The people along the way are simple and honest, and they are different from the people of Kunlun in Wu Kingdom. So there is no need to risk life and death."

Zhao Kuangyin felt that he seemed to understand it too.

No wonder later generations attached so much importance to it, but it was never discussed in the court. It was probably because none of the three routes out of Ryukyu was peaceful.

But... at this moment, there is no need to combine what later generations have seen. Just from what Zhao Pu said, the purpose of this place is clear:

"If you open the sea route, this land must be annexed by Song."

"I should follow the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang and mobilize the Song Dynasty's naval forces to quell the pirates at sea and prevent unexpected events."

As for which one they were guarding against...the eyes of the people in Guangzheng Hall all looked towards the upper right along the tiny islands along the Ryukyu Island.

The Japanese island is as long and narrow as a snake, with its head facing the Chinese land as if it is about to bite.

At this moment, the content on the light screen above his head changed again. A map marked with "Ming" slowly unfolded, and the leisurely tone of the younger generation returned and continued to narrate.

[But of course, the term "unconquered country" is just for fun. This title is just like the iron certificate of immunity from death that he bestowed on the founding heroes. It is for appreciation only.

The so-called unconquered country is just a country that does not want to be conquered at that time, but once it gets too aggressive, all of Zhu's ancestral teachings will be useless.

Less than two years after Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, Hu Jinyi (pronounced the same as Mao) of Annan usurped the throne, and Chen Tianping, a descendant of the former Annan royal family, fled to the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Emperor Yongle upheld justice. In addition to ordering Hu Jinyao to hand over the disputed territory with the Ming Dynasty, he also ordered the Ming army to escort Chen Tianping back to the country to ascend the throne.

As a result, the Ming army and Chen Tianping were ambushed on the way, which angered Emperor Yongle and he sent troops to conquer them. The Annan Hu Dynasty established by Hu Jinyao was destroyed, and the entire territory was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and established as the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration.

From this, it can be seen that Emperor Yongle did not take his father's teachings seriously. Just like the iron certificate of immunity from death during the Hongwu Dynasty, it is good to just put it at home for viewing. If you want to take it out...

Lao Zhu: Do you really use it?
In addition, Emperor Yongle's conquest of Annan also shocked the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Joseon Dynasty had territorial disputes with the Ming Dynasty in the Tumen River Basin and occasional frictions.

The dreamers among them have already called for sending troops out of the Yalu River and heading west to Liaodong.

As a result, when Lee Bang-won saw what happened to Annan, he decided that those drunken war advocates should be killed or arrested, and quickly gave up the idea of ​​going to war with the Ming Dynasty.

However, we will talk about these things in more detail later, so please stay tuned.

This issue ends here for now. In the next issue, we will continue the past and forge ahead, and talk about the fall of the Song Dynasty and the split of Mongolia, the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

〖Spread the flowers! But it’s a pity to talk about the last one. Annan was lost after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. From the Five Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty, it was never recovered. Judy finally got it back, but it was lost again a few years after Yongle left.

It happened hundreds of years ago, and now we can only sigh and regret it.

I think the so-called unconquered country is actually a private plot, but the cultural centripetal of these private plots in ancient times has always been relatively rough. Even Korea, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, has not stopped encroaching on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Lee Bang-won was also a ruthless person at the time, and his life experience was a bit like Li Shimin.

It's still a little bit close. Lee Bang Won is the fifth child. His four older brothers basically died a good death. If it was Lee Jiro, he would have been killed. However, when the Koreans were filming the TV series, they made Lee Bang Won and Judy become sworn brothers. Don't they want to think about being a good match? They think that godfather is almost the same.

He dares to admit Judy, but he may not dare to accept her. Don't worry that he is too good at learning. Come on, "A real man lives between heaven and earth..."

Judy went up and slapped her: I'm giving you a chance to reorganize your words. How many dishes did you eat and you drank so much.

However, the same cannot be said about the unconquered country. After all, it is well known that Emperor Yongle paid the least attention to his father.

In the final analysis, whether to levy or not, our Great Meng Dynasty has the final right of interpretation. If the treasury has enough silver, then "It's just that we said we won't levy, it doesn't mean we can't invade or collect, and since ancient times..."

If I count again, I would also like to say a few words for Zhu Yuanzhang regarding Japan. During the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang mainly misunderstood who was the real father of Japan.

Few of us modern people can figure it out unless we specifically look up information. There is nothing to blame. After all, according to domestic tradition, someone like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who "went to the palace with a sword and shoes but did not even mention his name", should have asked the King of Japan to abdicate long ago. However, he paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty as a "Shogun", so it is not surprising that he was rejected.

Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang probably thought that after accepting the tribute, the next step would be for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help him seize the throne, so he still recognized "King Yoshiyoshi of Japan" and regarded Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the real father of the Japanese king, as a traitor.

Prince Yoshikazu was also unlucky. He was swept away by the Muromachi shogunate in 1359. In 1367, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became the five-star emperor of Japan. As a result, in 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Prince Yoshikazu to control the Japanese pirates. In 1381, when Zhu Yuanzhang was questioned by the Japanese pirates, Prince Yoshikazu had been exiled to the countryside to farm for almost ten years and could only do nothing.

On the contrary, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu worked tirelessly until the death of Emperor Zhuge Liang, and only in the 35th year of Hongwu did he receive the title of king with the imperial approval. He also made efforts to suppress the Japanese pirates during the Yongle period.

All we can say is that it was fortunate that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, a good minister of the Great Moe Dynasty, lived long enough.

I'd like to add that the 260-ton reserves of the Kagoshima Hishikari Gold Mine are nothing compared to the Sado Gold Mine and the Hongwu Gold Mine in Japan...

Li Shimin: No wonder Emperor Yongle praised me so much. I am so envious of Emperor Hongwu for having such a son.

Li Shimin: Is this guy so evil?

Zhao Kuangyin: You have given me many suggestions, which I will never forget as the ruler of Song.

Zhang Fei: Emperor Hongwu, don't you want to come and chat?

Queen Ma smiled and shook her head:
"It seems that I need to spend some time to study Baba's "Record of Ancestral Instructions". Why not..."

Ming Tianzi immediately became alert:
"We will never discard this book!"

"Look at the Tang Dynasty, where the royal family members killed each other. Look at the Song Dynasty, where the throne changed hands several times. Even the Yuan Dynasty was a time when brothers fought against each other."

"We wrote this ancestral precept for the sake of our great nation... the Ming Dynasty!"

This ancestral precept was started in the second year and took six years to complete. It was revised again in the ninth year, but Empress Ma always had some doubts about its effectiveness.

But Emperor Ming insisted, so she didn't say much, and pointed at the light curtain and said:
"Then... why don't you ask Emperor Taizong of Tang and Song what you just said and see what they say."

"Just ask!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stiffened his neck and snorted:
"Let me ask you how to pronounce the name Biao'er!"
