People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 374: The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Japanese slaves, and the Li family in North Korea became restless!

After the news of the destruction of the Japanese slaves reached Li's Korea. On the contrary, Li's North Korea was immediately panicked.

At first, Lawyer North Korea had been selling grain in exchange for cotton cloth from the Ming Dynasty, especially low-priced cotton cloth.

But now they heard that the Japanese slaves had been wiped out, so it might be their turn soon.

Suddenly the entire country fell into counter-terrorism.

They felt that they had not failed Ming Dynasty.

But seeing the Japanese slaves being wiped out, they felt a chill in their lips and teeth.

He even felt that if his people didn't take some action, they might end up in that same situation.

However, since the establishment of Lee's Korea, there has been a very obvious feature, which is party struggle.

This country had no wars throughout the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also an organization that they pay attention to the trends in Ming Dynasty.

As a folk organization where great scholars gather together.

Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty is now prospering and is no longer the same as before.

That is to inherit the so-called Goguryeo.

Even the ministers on his side sometimes advised him not to have such thoughts, but he still worked hard to settle down and complete the domestic evolution.

Even in Liaodong there was the Ming Dynasty, and they kept a close eye on the Jurchens.

However, now we are seeing more and more merchant ships stopping at the Busan port in my country.

In particular, he was very resourceful and wanted to conquer Liaodong and Daming.

Although Goguryeo has nothing to do with them.

This time Liu Chengjun summoned some great scholars in the capital to celebrate the Ming Dynasty's destruction of the Japanese slaves in their south.

"Colleagues, we have been paying attention to the war between the Heavenly Kingdom and the Japanese slaves for two and a half years.
There has been no very definite news before.

Therefore, this person has no direct determination to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Hongwen Pavilion is actually built after the Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, as a country deeply influenced by Confucian culture.

Their strength simply does not allow them to do this.

Instead, he wanted to rectify the country and get rid of all those who opposed his rise to power.

What he didn't expect was that under his ambition, he couldn't suppress his determination to conquer the world at all.

It is not that everything was waiting for improvement at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is the other way around.

Among them, Liu Chengjun, the owner of Hongwen Hall, was even more excited.

Even though Lee's Joseon had just been founded, and Lee Seong-gye was very ambitious.

So under this situation, the opposition seized the opportunity and publicized that the current king was disloyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Such a two-faced approach is not the behavior of a wise king.

Some old academics were extremely excited.

They have always insisted on using Chinese characters and speaking Chinese following the dynasty.

They still feel that their biggest dream is to inherit that land.

Hongwen Museum.

Then let’s plan the large land in Liaodong.

As a vassal state, on the one hand, it relied on the majesty of the Ming Dynasty to deter the Jurchen attacks in Liaodong.

……

But they are still willing to take advantage of this popularity.

They wanted to move closer to the Ming Dynasty. If they could not go to the Ming Dynasty in person, they could only move closer to the Ming Dynasty in terms of system, etiquette and culture.

In fact, it is obvious within the entire dynasty.

On the one hand, the Hongwen Hall was a place to promote their own political ideas, and on the other hand, it was also a place to learn the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Mandarin is the Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

So Li Chenggui was panicking at this time. He believed that there must be many spies sent by the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei in his country.
You can definitely see all his actions.

On the other hand, they were secretly trying to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

But I also understand very well that fighting against Ming Dynasty is like a small tree.

But the dream is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

North Korea and the former Wang Dynasty had the same ambition.

This was especially true during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

I learned the news from them that now the Japanese slaves have been wiped out by the imperial government.

This is good news, and it is also worthy of celebration for our Lee family in Korea.

Everyone knows how rampant the Japanese pirates were in the past. They not only killed our people, but also plundered their people's property.

We also deeply hate the Japanese pirates caused by the Japanese slaves.

Now the Celestial Empire has finally helped us completely solve this problem.

From now on, those Japanese pirates will no longer appear.

Our coastal people will not be in danger. "

After Liu Chengjun finished speaking, the great scholars below all sighed with emotion.

Some even shed tears.

Because the various tragedies caused by Japanese pirates in the coastal areas of Li's Korea were no less than those in the Ming Dynasty,

Especially when they are too close to the Japanese slaves, they are often the first ones to be injured.

And Lee's Korea itself didn't have much ability to resist.

Even though Li Chenggui seems to have staged a coup, he himself is considered a promising general.
But it does not mean that the entire Lee family's North Korea has a strong military.

Especially in terms of navy, it is not worth mentioning.

It was not until the Renchen Japanese Rebellion in the Wanli Period that their naval generals built the so-called turtle ship during the Myeongryang Sea Battle, which made them a little more respectable.

Because of this, they were harassed by Japanese pirates, and both the private sector and the government hated Japanese slaves.

Now that the Japanese slaves have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, how can they not be happy?

No wonder many ministers here shed tears, which is understandable.

Then Liu Chengjun said: "But while we are celebrating the destruction of the Japanese slaves, we must also be wary of certain individuals in our country who are secretly trying to cause trouble.

For example, they are still hooking up with the Jurchens in Liaodong.

Although those Jurchens were massacred once, the remaining ones were deliberately hidden and sheltered by some people.

Maybe everyone here doesn’t understand this very well, and they don’t know the reason.
But I know it clearly. "

After these words were spoken, many people immediately felt a little stunned in their hearts.

Liaodong Jurchens have always been a taboo topic.

Why?

Because the Jurchens in Liaodong have always been hostile to the Ming army in Liaodong.

Even though the Ming Dynasty later had to adopt a restraint policy to appease the Jurchens in Liaodong.

But as the winter got colder and colder, they repeatedly went south, either harassing the Han people or attacking and killing North Korean residents.

These are deeply abhorred by both countries.

But the two countries should have joined hands to destroy this force. Only Ming Dynasty spared no effort to do so.

In Lee's North Korea, this guy Li Chenggui doesn't know what he is doing, and he keeps hooking up.

That's why many ministers below were criticized for this.

Especially the die-hards who opposed his ascension.

This is especially true for some people led by Liu Chengjun, who is also considered a fourth-rank official in the court. This time, they took the opportunity to celebrate the Ming Dynasty's elimination of Japanese slaves and gathered at Hongwen Hall to discuss this matter.

As soon as these words came out, a minister stood up very excitedly.

"Master Liu, please tell me what is going on?"

"That's right! The Jurchens of Liaodong also have a deep hatred for me, North Korea. Now there are still people who want to be harbored. Doesn't that mean they are harboring the enemy? At the same time, they offend the Celestial Empire? How can this stupid behavior be tolerated?"

"That's right!"

"I've never seen anything so stupid!"

Guys, with your words and my words, another kind of excitement broke out from the excitement just now,
The attitude of some Korean people towards the Liaodong Jurchens is very ambiguous.

Officials in the imperial court were also vague about the Liaodong Jurchens.

As political veterans, we know very well that the Liaodong Jurchens were actually a buffer between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

There are Liaodong Jurchens in the northeast of Liaodong and in the northwest of Korea. This area is disturbed.

North Korea's northwest has been relieved of a lot of pressure.

But this kind of thing is also a double-edged sword.

Although North Korea has always supported the activities of the Jurchens in Liaodong.

This allowed the Jurchens to repeatedly deal with the Ming Dynasty's garrison stationed in Liaodong, but sometimes they would suffer backlash.

The Jurchens are all a bunch of underfed wolf cubs.

They took your grain, they took your weapons, they took your horses to feed them;
On the surface, I promise never to go against you, but once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and there is no food and grass, I have no scruples at all.

Anyway, whether Han Chinese or North Koreans, they want everything they can grab.

Taking advantage of their ability to fly between the mountains, they frequently harassed the two countries.

This is also the reason why the generals of North Korea and Liaodong often cooperate.

And now, at this most sensitive time, if there are still people harboring Jurchens, that would be a big taboo.

These opponents can seize the opportunity to criticize the reformists.

The so-called reformists are not real reforms.

Instead, they suppressed the old courtiers in the court who supported Wang's support for Korea.

Therefore, as the leader of the conservatives, Ryu Seungjun was so excited at this time because he had received this news.

Liu Chengjun snorted, "Who else could it be, of course our Prime Minister Goo Kangho.

Every time we take a step back from these people, they will take another step forward.

What is this Gu Kanghao planning?

He clearly knows that Ming Dynasty is the supreme state of heaven, and he knows that we should be loyal to Ming Dynasty.
We know clearly that Ming Dynasty is our mother country,

Knowing that Daming has helped us so much,
They are still dreaming of taking back the land from Liaodong.

We all know that the once-annihilated dynasty Goguryeo does not belong to our North Korea.
But they still have sweet dreams,

Still thinking about how to occupy that land,

I still think that Shanhaiguan is the boundary with Ming Dynasty.

Let’s not talk about other things, but let’s talk about one thing. Isn’t that a small thing shaking a big tree?
For the sake of millions of our citizens, we must not let them succeed. "

As soon as these words came out, he immediately won the cheers of everyone present.

"That's right! That's right, today's Shang Dynasty can easily wipe out the Japanese slaves across the ocean, let alone us who are adjacent to the mainland.

For us to confront such a powerful Celestial State is tantamount to courting death, and it is tantamount to throwing an egg against a stone.

Even though they know what the outcome will be, some people still have the delusion that they can occupy other people's territories. Why bother?

Why bother?

Why show off your power in front of the country you are dependent on?

Even though we knew it was an impossible thing, we still had to risk the lives of millions of people to make such a joke.

Again, it’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s that there are treacherous ministers in the government.

There are traitors around His Highness, and we must expel these traitors one by one.

Only by expelling these treacherous officials can we in North Korea have a good life and the people can live a good life and settle down. "

Liu Chengjun was very excited when he said this, and all the great scholars below were also very excited.

They understood that this was not an exaggeration at all.

……

royal palace.

Li Chenggui was also caught in a conflict at this time.

Speaking of ambition, he has very big ambitions.

His ambition is not just to occupy the land of Liaodong.

His ambition even included trying to compete with Ming Dynasty.

Because he found that Daming has been internally consumed in recent years.

The occurrence of the Kongyin Case, Guo Huan Case, and Hu Weiyong Case, these major and important cases, destroyed the trust of many courtiers in the Ming Dynasty in the emperor.

When there is a conflict between the monarch and his ministers, there will be a rift. In this case, they will not be harmonious internally.

As long as the interior is breached, Liaodong can be occupied in one fell swoop, and then there will be a chance to go south to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Although Li Chenggui once warned his citizens not to have impulsive thoughts, Ming Dynasty is still strong and this is not an opportunity for us to attack.

But now he felt that this wall was slowly being broken down.

Because the Ming Dynasty actually destroyed the Japanese slaves.

What is a Japanese slave?
The Japanese slaves were their own enemies. They should have been happy to have destroyed the Japanese slaves.

But Ming Dynasty showed such a strong military power, which was not a good thing for them.

For the peninsula, they have no retreat.

Connected to the Ming Dynasty by land, the Japanese slaves were wiped out at this time, and Tsushima Island was equivalent to a bridgehead monitoring the entire North Korea.

Even now that there are no Japanese slaves as the more powerful opponents of the Ming Dynasty,
The Ming Dynasty could carefully manage the Japanese slaves, station troops there, develop production there, and run it as an enclave.

At that time, the garrison there will increase, and a province will be formed there.

At that time, North Korea will be outflanked just like Tsushima.

When the time comes, Lu Lu can take the Yalu River and come directly to fight.

The waterway can also attack North Korea from the north to the south from Tsushima Island and Busan.

In this situation, as a king, he had to consider these issues.

There are no eternal friends in politics, only eternal interests.

The reason why North Korea could hold hands with Ming Dynasty and walk together was because Ming Dynasty also needed North Korea to monitor the Japanese slaves.

The existence of the Japanese slaves ensured that North Korea must have strong national strength to act as a buffer between the Japanese slaves and the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Japanese slaves are gone, North Korea, as a buffer place, has no value in existence.

Li Chenggui thought of this and looked at Gu Kanghao, who was also frowning.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Li Chenggui asked.

Gu Kanghao was no less anxious than Li Chenggui at this time.

As the Prime Minister of North Korea, he sees things very clearly.

There are too many people in the DPRK who are close to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's military force stationed on Tsushima Island, which has now solved the Japanese slaves, is definitely the biggest threat to North Korea.

So Gu Kanghao made a decision that Li Chenggui also felt that he had to make.

"Your Highness, it seems that we must start the plan that we did not dare and could not start!!"
