Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 300 Economic War against Goryeo
  It is also the face of the Ming vassal state.

If troops were raised for no reason, the happiest country would be the Japanese.

Although it doesn't hurt your relatives very much, it is absolutely not allowed to do stupid things that your enemies are quick to do.

Zhu Xi, who was still angry, heard Lin Che say that Gao Li could not be destroyed casually.

He was very surprised and asked: "Sir, didn't you just say that you want Ming Dynasty to swallow up the land of Goryeo?"

"Why did he change his mind so quickly and say that he could not destroy his country?"

Lin Che took a sip of her daughter's red wine to moisten her throat.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Can you change your easily excited temper?"

"When did I say that Goryeo will not be destroyed? I just said that Goryeo cannot be destroyed by ordinary means."

Although the land occupied by Goryeo is not that good.

But it has extremely high strategic value for China.

If there is a chance, Ming Dynasty will definitely win it.

I heard that Goryeo could not escape the fate of national subjugation.

Zhu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked:

"Sir, please tell me in detail what kind of unusual means you plan to use to deal with Goryeo, a remnant of the former Yuan Dynasty."

Feeling Zhu Ping's expectant gaze.

Lin Che stretched her body and asked, "Didn't you say that you have been reading history books recently?"

"Have you ever studied how the vassal states of China perished during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

Although Zhu Xi likes to read the chapters about fighting.

But there has never been a summary of the demise of various countries.

He said tentatively: "Sir, the vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period should have been depleted of national power due to continuous wars, and were eventually destroyed at the hands of Qin, right?"

Although Lin Che had expected that Zhu Ping could not find the pattern, she was still choked by the answer.

He coughed lightly and said, "Most countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period did die because of conquests."

"But the weakening of national power is mostly caused by the civil strife in the country, such as the war between brothers."

Zhu Ping's mind was spinning very quickly.

He immediately understood what Lin Che meant.

He said excitedly: "Sir, you are saying that I, the Ming Dynasty, should stir up disputes among the current pseudo-Yuan and Goryeo royal families."

"Wait until the tragedy he causes in the palace, then send out troops to avenge the losers, and then use the famous doctors to supervise the country to slowly devour the country."

Now, Lin Che gave up and Zhu Ping said that he started reading history books.

After all, this strategy of dove occupying magpie's nest sounds simple.

But it's not something this kid can just pick up, even though he copied the wisdom of the ancients.

Lin Che originally planned to have an in-depth discussion with Zhu Xi on the details of using the brotherly strategy to annex the Goryeo Kingdom.

However, Zhu Bai, who had no sense of presence since he arrived at the mansion, suddenly raised objections: "Sir, create a feud in your heart, and then engulf Korea as a suzerain."

"Of course it can prevent the Ming Dynasty from being notorious for attacking vassal countries and occupying their territory without any reason."

"However, this plan is too sinister. If it is exposed in the future, not to mention the local clans in Goryeo that will riot, other vassal countries will probably become even more alienated from our Ming Dynasty and be wary of our Ming Dynasty."

According to Zhu Bai's idea, the Ming Dynasty used its majestic troops to destroy Goryeo's words.

Even if it would be given a reputation as tyrannical by other vassal states.

But at least, they will be more afraid of Ming's force.

Even if he is just pretending, he will show more surrender to Ming than before.

However, if Ming Dynasty gave up its military advantage and resorted to such a destructive method, it would be a shame.

Other vassal states were on alert.

If you can't help it, you will close the country and completely break off diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. Instead of the grand scene of all nations coming to court.

How did the Ming Dynasty enter the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties?

However, Zhu Ping was completely dismissive of Zhu Bai's concerns.

He curled his lips and said: "Hmph, my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not vegetarians. If they dare to cut off the tribute from the Ming Dynasty to me, my army of the Ming Dynasty will be able to attack their royal city."

Lin Che was just about to answer Zhu Bai's question.

As a result, I heard Zhu Ping's murderous, but also silly and ridiculous words.

I couldn't help but complain: "The Ming Dynasty's army is used to deter the disobedient rats in the vassal country."

"It's not for you to use it to bulldoze all the sweet potatoes who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

"If the army is always dispatched, then why don't you worry about the impact of annexing Koryo? You can just send the army to push it over."

Lin Che stretched out her index finger and tapped Zhu Xi's forehead.

He reminded: "Using a strategy to annex the Goryeo Kingdom, in order to avoid the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, leaving the bad reputation of annexing vassal countries."

"Secondly, if we don't use force, we can prevent the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from dying in vain."

"Keep these two points in mind, and think about it again, besides the brotherly encirclement strategy, what other methods can be used to preserve the reputation of the Ming Dynasty and successfully capture Goryeo?"

……

The people next door heard the question raised by Lin Che.

They all frowned and started thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang soon had a plan in his mind.

However, he did not say it, but asked Fu Youwen: "Fu Aiqing, have you come up with a strategy to destroy Goryeo?"

"Your Majesty, I do have some strategists."

Fu Youwen looked a little ashamed and said, "But what I came up with is not the best of both worlds strategy that Lin Che said."

"It's an old strategy of Guan Zhong helping Qi to deal with Lu."

The so-called old strategy was the first economic war in China and even the entire world during the Spring and Autumn Period.

It was the State of Qi that bought silk fabrics from the State of Lu at high prices.

At the same time, he also sold grain to the State of Lu at extremely low prices.

As a result, the people in the country had no intention of farming, and all turned to become textile workers.

When the time was right, Qi State suddenly stopped purchasing silk products from Lu State.

At the same time, the food supply of Lu State was cut off.

And when large tracts of fertile farmland have become barren, people are accustomed to buying rice at the lowest price in the country.

Lu's economy and people's livelihood collapsed instantly.

From being the overlord of one party, he was reduced to a puppet under the control of Qi State.

All the money earned from Qi in the past was spit out.

Fu Youwen talked about Guan Zhong’s economic warfare strategy.

He gave strategies to adapt to the times: "Nowadays, the special products of Korea are beauty and Korean ginseng."

"Your Majesty can buy women from Goryeo at a high price, even if they are a little worse in appearance. You can give single soldiers in the army as concubines."

“At the same time, royal stewards were sent to Korea to colonize under their rule, and they purchased Korean ginseng and sold grain face to face.”

There is nothing much to say about the first policy, which is to reduce the number of Korean women.

Let more Korean men be unable to marry wives.

This caused resentment in their hearts, which invisibly reduced Goryeo's power over the people.

The remaining strategy is for Qi to acquire replicas of Lu’s silk fabrics.
