Chapter 486: Ming Dynasty’s strategy of moving vassal states

Zhu Yuanzhang's decisive attitude was completely beyond Li Fangyuan's expectations.

Facing the Ming Emperor's solemn questioning, he could not utter a single word of explanation.

All he could do was tremble and kowtow: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The little king is really wronged."

Zhu Xi, who was watching the play on the side, saw that the former King of Goryeo was such a softie.

His eyes couldn't help but reveal a deep look of disdain.

In my heart, I also felt that Lin Che's plan to move Goryeo overseas was a far-sighted and brilliant plan.

Otherwise, if these weaklings are left to guard the Ming Dynasty.

After encountering a strong enemy, these Goryeo sticks will probably not only surrender the country, but they will also bite Ming Dynasty back.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to kill the puppet king of Goryeo.

Then turn it into an obedient good dog so that Ali can launch an economic war against Goryeo.

Send this product back to Goryeo to help the Ming Dynasty recommend the strategy of Goryeo moving to vassal state.

But he never expected that Li Fangyuan, a guy who had been the King of Korea.

The bones are actually softer than that powerful official in Kanazawa.

For a while, Zhu Yuanzhang lost interest in beating this person.

He just said lightly: "Have you ever given an order to attack the Ming Dynasty's advance army? We will send the school captain to investigate."

"If it is Kanazawa who is slandering you at this time, we will definitely seek justice for you."

"But if the result is true, we will take your life to pay homage to the soldiers of my advance army."

Li Fangyuan didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his tone.

Moreover, according to the information he investigated.

The Goryeo soldiers who secretly attacked the Ming Dynasty army on Jeju Island did not achieve any results and were wiped out by the Ming army.

But with great difficulty in saving his life.

Li Fangyuan did not dare to point out the loopholes in Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Instead, he kowtowed again and said thanks: "Thank you for Your Majesty's magnanimity. When I return to Korea in the future, I will definitely erect a golden statue for Your Majesty and pay homage day and night.

Regarding Li Fangyuan's softness, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.

He waved his hand and asked the eunuch to take the guy down.

Zhu Fang waited until Li Fangyuan left the side hall of Fengtian Hall.

Somewhat worried, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, will a spineless man like this be able to implement Mr. Lin's strategy well in the future when our Ming Dynasty launches an economic war against Goryeo?"

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to believe Jin Ze's words and arrested the former King of Goryeo Li Fangyuan for questioning.

It is for the future, at the critical moment when Ming Dynasty launches economic war.

Sending this person back completely disrupted the situation in Goryeo, causing him to take the initiative to propose a move to the Ming Dynasty.

But to accomplish this, you must first have the courage to engage in a bloody struggle with the Korean conservatives.

Otherwise, these old ministers who are trying to preserve the Goryeo Dynasty will not be eliminated.

Even if the situation in Goryeo completely collapsed, it would not be easy to push it to move overseas.

In Zhu Fang's view, Li Fangyuan, who was reduced to a puddle of mud, obviously did not have this ability.

If in the future when the swordsmen meet, this fellow suffers from rickets and exposes Ming's plan, it will be a big mistake.

"Haha, it's because this person is cowardly that we didn't send him to prison.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing when he learned about his second brother's worries. Then he asked in an educational tone: "Second brother, you have to remember one thing. We in China have always been famous for their teachers."

"And this Supreme King of Goryeo will be the legal basis for Ming Dynasty to intervene in Goryeo affairs in the future."

"The less courageous he is, the more he will have to rely on Ming's support to save his life after returning to Goryeo, and the less likely he will be disloyal."

Now in the Goryeo court, because of Li Fangyuan, the former king.

They have all been purged by the powerful uncle Jinze, a good dog who took the initiative to join the Ming Dynasty.

They all went to meet the ancestors of Goryeo.

When Li Fangyuan returns to Goryeo in the future, there will be no support for him in the court. The only way to avoid going back and being killed by Kanazawa is to obey Da Mingyan.

And what can a weakling do to survive?

For details, please refer to the deeds of sending Zhao Gou and following the orders of the Jin people to unjustly kill Yue Fei.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's advice, Zhu Xi suddenly understood.

He said with sincere admiration: "Wimps can also be used in different ways. My father has thought carefully. Goryeo will definitely become my new territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Fang's humble attitude towards learning.

But he deliberately snorted and said: "You kid, if you don't know how to flatter me, don't say anything. Have you forgotten that during the Han Dynasty, Goryeo was already a county in China? Let's follow Lin Che's plan , It’s just taking back the homeland of China, not expanding the territory!”

Zhu Ping was scolded for saying nice things, but he was not angry. He just understood why his father suddenly emphasized that Goryeo belonged to the homeland of China.

After all, things like fame and righteousness are usually of little use.

But at certain critical moments, it can really block the mouth of Youyou in the world.

Otherwise, it would be easy to swallow Goryeo by force without following the legal principles.

However, if word gets out about this, the Ming Dynasty's bad reputation of coveting the land of vassal states will make other vassal states wary.

In the future, when the Ming Dynasty expands overseas, it will be difficult to use cannon fodder from these vassal countries to explore the way.

Zhu Xi figured this out.

Then he bowed his head to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Thank you very much for your teachings. In the future, my son will always put justice first."

Seeing Zhu Xi understand the importance of justice.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and asked again: "Second brother, you have been working as a clerk in Shangyuan County for a long time today. What insights do you have?"

When this happened, Zhu Ping's face was covered with a layer of gloom.

He said angrily: "Father, the officials at the bottom are acting too arrogantly now."

"These worms dare to collect five times the tax from the common people even under the imperial city's foundation."

"I really don't know how much exploitation we, the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, are being exploited now."

With that said, Zhu Xi told Zhu Yuanzhang everything he had seen and heard in the many villages under his jurisdiction in Shangyuan County.

Faced with Zhu Ping's angry attitude and the fact that low-level officials were committing lawlessness.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained indifferent, but he asked with a smile: "Second brother, in your opinion, how should we deal with the corrupt officials in Shangyuan County?"

Zhu Ping had thought about this problem for a long time.

Therefore, when faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, he answered calmly: "Father, I think this matter should be investigated by the school captain and officials from the Ministry of Justice."

"After the evidence is conclusive, we will first return the overtaxed grain to the people, and then punish all those moths severely to serve as a warning to the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment when he heard this.

Because this method of disposal is too mediocre and can only temporarily treat the symptoms.
