The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 242 Silla Maid

Zhu Yuanzhang severely reprimanded King Xinyu of Goryeo and listed his forty-nine crimes.

The three biggest crimes are:

One serves two masters.

Er secretly helped Naha to resist the Ming Dynasty.

The third one is not the son of King Gongmin.

Then directly calling Xin Yu the false king is tantamount to completely abolishing his legitimacy.

Afterwards, he expressed that the government should be returned to the lineage of King Gongmin.

But King Gongmin had no queen, and the throne was vacant.

Considering that a country cannot be without its owner for a day, and after Goryeo is Jizi, Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China...

At the same time, the four counties of Han Dynasty were restored...

The old dignitaries of Goryeo, who yearned for the Ming Dynasty, took the initiative to suppress them.

The benefits obtained are more than those of several big Sai kings.

Faced with this situation, the heads of the various vassal states were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be replaced accidentally.

The Liaodong Governor's Office was also established to take charge of Liaodong affairs.

Especially next, Zhu Yuanzhang assigned a group of officials such as Xiang Guo to the Korean King Zhu Zi.

The ministers of other vassal states had similar thoughts. They were originally worried that their family would follow in the footsteps of Goryeo.

"The terrain of North Korea is too important to enclose."

Even if the Ming Emperor's son becomes the head of the country, it would be better for them.

The land outside the Pass was divided into three provinces: Liaoning, Liaoxi and Liaodong.

It's not like they didn't think about resisting, but they didn't need Daming to do it himself.

He could only pretend to be upright and awe-inspiring: "Why did my father say this? It is a son's duty to serve the Ming Dynasty."

The reason is simple, there is only so much power, and by driving these people away, they can get more benefits.

As long as their interests are guaranteed, it makes no difference who is the leader of the country.

In fact, she should be called Goryeo Maid, after all, Silla has been destroyed for hundreds of years.

Zhu Zi's mood was very complicated. He had been happy for so long, but he turned out to be a tool.

This is a clear statement that North Korea will continue to exist independently.

Everyone had been prepared for this result and was not surprised.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly annex the country, but restored the country's title to North Korea and ennobled his own son as king.

But before he could be happy for long, Zhu Yuanzhang announced a twenty-year transformation plan to him.

The happiest person was Zhu Zi. He originally thought he could only be a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect to be directly granted the title of king.

At the same time, a large number of technical personnel were transferred to Liaodong to help restore production here.

So Goryeo's title of Joseon was restored, and Prince Tan Zhu Zi was renamed the King of Joseon.

"If you don't want to go to Japan, I'll send you somewhere else..."

Now that I discovered that the Ming Dynasty adopted the enfeoffment system to ensure the interests of those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I immediately felt relieved.

But facing his "kind" father, he didn't dare to say no.

The Ming Dynasty took such a big risk to defeat Goryeo, and it was impossible to just withdraw like this.

After that, the Ming Dynasty made a series of adjustments in the Korean Kingdom, such as migrating some people to the Central Plains to fill the population.

Sing and dance, and when the Ming Dynasty comes, just welcome Master Wang.

So, Zhu Zi took office "happily".

"Anyway, dad won't treat you badly."

"When I conquer Japan in the future, I will build a real feudal country for you there."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "Very good. You have such an awareness. As a father, I am very satisfied."

Most of the bureaucrats and dignitaries who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty were included in the migration list.

"But don't worry, I will never forget your contribution."

In this way, their relationship with the Ming Dynasty will be closer. Maybe they will have the opportunity to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty, and their family will also be able to flourish in the Ming Dynasty.

There is also a group that disappeared for a long time and reappeared and was sought after by the Ming Dynasty:

Silla maid.

It was expected that the country's title of Goryeo would be abolished and its territory would be annexed.

The heart of the old minister of Goryeo was completely put into his stomach.

However, most officials still appointed former Goryeo officials who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty to ensure the interests of these people.

For Liaodong, the court's governance was even more direct.

But the people who sell maids know how to hype, and they know that Silla maids were once famous all over the world and highly praised by the wealthy people in the Central Plains.

Many literati have written poems praising them.

The historical and cultural heritage is king.

So she was named Silla Maid.

For a time, a large number of beautiful Korean women were trafficked to the Ming Dynasty.

When Chen Jingke learned about this, he thought about it for a long time and finally found Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, please order a ban on the abduction and trafficking of Silla maids."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Xiongying said in confusion:

"Why? Didn't you say before that you captured and purchased young women from other countries and sold them to Ming men at low prices as wives and concubines?"

"In this way, the Ming Dynasty's population is increasing, and the number of women in other countries is decreasing, and the population will drop sharply."

"A large number of men cannot find wives, so they will have evil thoughts and cause trouble, further exacerbating social conflicts."

"In this way, I, the Ming Dynasty, can take over the country at the minimum cost."

"Why do you oppose the abduction and trafficking of Silla maids now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched. Do you also teach these things?

Our good and good grandson has been turned into a bad person by your teachings.

But...why do we think this is good?

"Today you must explain to us clearly why you cannot use this method to deal with the Koreans, otherwise it will be up to us how we deal with you."

Chen Jingke explained: "This method was used to deal with other countries, but Goryeo has died, and now only the Ming vassal Kingdom belongs to the Korean Kingdom."

"The Silla maids who were abducted and trafficked are all people of the Ming Dynasty."

"A large number of women are trafficked, which will lead to many young men unable to marry wives and become a factor of local instability."

"And everyone knows that even though they were poor during the Goryeo Dynasty, they could still marry and have children."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty is in power, they can't even marry a wife, and their bloodline is about to be cut off. It's easy to draw hatred towards the Ming Dynasty."

"This is not conducive to our indoctrination."

"If someone else stirs up trouble, big problems will inevitably arise."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "That's just right, kill all those who have problems."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly realized it and objected: "It's inappropriate, Ming Dynasty cannot treat its own people like this."

"Once this is opened, we still don't know what it will turn into."

"If you really want to dilute the population of Korea, there are many ways."

"Every year, a group of Han people migrate from the Central Plains, and then a group of people migrate from there to the Ming Dynasty."

"Korea only has 2.5 million people at full cost. It will be almost diluted in a few years, and it will not cause any social problems."

"The Tang Dynasty used this method to completely make Goguryeo history."

Chen Jingke said: "What Taisun said is true. Goryeo was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and it can be digested and absorbed using gentle methods."

"If the imperial court indulges, they will reach out to local Han women when there are not enough maids in Silla..."

Boomerangs are too easy to pierce themselves. On the eve of Chen Jingke's time travel, a certain lighthouse country was covered with boomerangs it sent out. This is the most typical example.

Especially when it comes to human trafficking, there is basically no such thing as human nature among those who engage in this business.

For money, they will do anything.

Sooner or later, they will set their sights on Daming.

If you use this method to deal with the enemy, even if you are hit by a boomerang in the future, it will still be justified.

If you use this method to deal with people who have surrendered, it is like hitting yourself with a boomerang.

"So, if those people really want to make this money, let them get Japanese women."

"Japan has a population of 10 million, and I am worried about how to deal with them. This method is actually quite suitable."

"In order to fight for hegemony, the Japanese lords would be happy to sell women of low origin in exchange for money and food to form an army."

"The extra men will be formed into armies and sent to die on the battlefield, and they will capture women from neighboring countries and continue to sell them..."

"In just a few years, Japan's population will inevitably decline sharply."

"When the time comes, it will be much easier for Ming to handle it, whether it directly sends troops to destroy its country or uses other methods."

Japan sells its own women and organizes its own women to be sold abroad. These are things that have been recorded in history.

Chen Jingke felt that men in the Ming Dynasty had the obligation to save Japanese women from fire and water.

No, to be precise, he has an obligation to save women in the world.

Yes, that's it, perfect.

Zhu Xiongying echoed: "Yes, yes, you can use this trick to deal with Japanese women..."

"Not only Japanese women, but men are also a good labor force."

"Mining, in particular, requires a lot of labor and is very dangerous."

"How can we, the people of Ming Dynasty, take this risk? I think the Japanese are pretty good."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched again, he glared at Chen Jingke and said:

"Okay, we know what to do, you two bastards, get out of here."

"If you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up."

Just keep the bad water in your stomach. It's really not nice to say it so blatantly.

Chen Jingke and Chen Jingke naturally knew why and ran away quickly.

Within a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to strictly prohibit the abduction and trafficking of Silla maids, and punished them severely if found.

But never underestimate the ability of some people to take advantage of loopholes.

Trafficking is strictly prohibited?

What if a Korean woman voluntarily went to the Central Plains to become a slave?

Don’t be surprised at all. The appeal of the Celestial Kingdom is unquestionable.

What's more, the wealth of Ming Dynasty is obviously greater than that of Goryeo.

And after several reforms, the constraints on the human body have been relaxed a lot.

There are many women who want to be maids in the Ming Dynasty.

It would be better if you could marry a Ming Dynasty man.

Therefore, although the court issued a ban, Silla maids were still popular.

But overall, the number is less than half.

At least the impact on the Korean Peninsula is not that significant.

Later, under the guidance of Jin Yiwei, the traffickers began to set their sights on Japan next door.

At this time, Ming Dynasty launched a large-scale military operation in Indochina.

As mentioned before, the Chen family was in power in Annan at this time, and it was called the Chen Dynasty in history.

But now it is precisely the end of the Chen Dynasty. The monarch is dissolute and extravagant, and he uses his relative Hu Jiya.

"Hu Jiyou's ancestral home is Zhejiang, and his ancestors migrated to Annan during the Five Dynasties period."

"Because they are a large Han family, they married into the Annan royal family as soon as they moved there and quickly established themselves.

"After hundreds of years of development, it has become a major force in the local area."

"In the past ten years, he has been highly valued by the monarchs of the Chen Dynasty and began to assume military power."

"Before this, Annan had been bullied by the Champa country."

"After Hu Jiyou took charge of the army, he defeated the Champa Kingdom and his prestige increased greatly."

"He also used political means to defeat all opponents and monopolize military power..."

"Later, with the help of the trust of Lord Annan, he achieved monopoly of power..."

"This person made his fortune through war, so he is aggressive by nature."

"The third uncle just sent people to provoke a little, and he sent troops to attack the Champa country."

"When Champa king Zhi Peng'e led the navy to resist, he was betrayed and died in battle..."

When Zhu Xiongying talked about this, Chen Jingke suddenly realized something was wrong and said:

"Wait a minute, King Champa was betrayed and died in battle?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said: "This is what is written in Third Uncle's information."

Chen Jingke raised his eyebrows and said, "What a coincidence?"

Zhu Xiongying said with a 'hehe' smile: "It's such a coincidence. Do you think it's strange or not?"

Chen Jingke gave them two words: "Haha..."

Although Peng'e, the Champa king, is not considered a wise warrior, he is also a famous hero in Indochina due to the excellent regional matching mechanism.

Although he was defeated by Hu Jishen once, it still did not affect his reputation.

Such a person was betrayed by his subordinates and died on the spot?

What a liar.

Zhu Xiongying rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still want to hear it?"

Chen Jingke said: "Okay, okay, he was betrayed by his subordinates. I believe it. You continue to talk."

Zhu Xiongying pretended not to hear his strange anger and said:

"Zhi Peng'e's death in battle led to the defeat of the Champa Kingdom. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were unable to resist, and lost a large area of ​​land. The Champa Kingdom hated Annan deeply."

"Other forces in Indochina are also worried about Annan's strength."

"So, under the guidance of the master, they asked for help from their overlord, the Ming Dynasty."

"The third uncle will lead an army of fifty thousand to attack Annan by land and water."

"We received great help from all the forces in Indochina along the way, especially the Champa country, which can be said to have mobilized its entire country."

Chen Jingke answered: "So the King of Jin went all the way to Annan's capital and captured Lord Annan and Hu Jiya alive?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, shook his head, and said: "Monarch Annan was indeed captured alive, but Hu Jiya escaped and resisted tenaciously with his remaining strength."

Chen Jingke said doubtfully: "How do I feel that Hu Jiya was let go intentionally by the King of Jin?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said with a smile: "No doubt, I let him go on purpose."

"He is the fire that attracts moths and helps us shine out all the forces that hate Ming Dynasty."

"And with him as the culprit, the Ming army can legitimately be stationed there."

"The emperor has prepared to establish the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Administrative Envoy Department on the land of Annan."

Chen Jingke frowned slightly and said, "Are you so anxious? Will it alert other forces?"

Zhu Xiongying said: "Of course it won't be now. When the third uncle has done a lot of trouble there and the various forces have no strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty, we will divide the counties."

Chen Jingke nodded, this is the safer way.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying said again: "By the way, I heard that the naval fleet that went to sea has already captured Luzon Island."
