golden scales

"Emperor Ming Zuxun" is the family law of the Zhu family, and it is also the law of the country.Unlike the Zhao family who hid the family law in the deep palace and kept it from outsiders, "Ancestors" was published as early as the Taizu Dynasty.This undoubtedly gave the civil servants a sharp sword to correct the behavior of the royal children, especially the emperor.

For Zhu Cihong, there are only two things in the "Ancestral Instructions" that are relevant.One of them is a protective umbrella, that is, the crown prince is outside, and the emperor cannot be arrested and questioned.The other is the shackles, that is, the country that cannot be conquered by fifteen.

However, regarding the second article, it is not impossible to bypass it.Thinking that Emperor Taizu Gao listed Annan as a country that could not be conquered, but when he became the ancestor, he included Annan in the territory, set up the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, and sent officials to govern it.The famous Xie Jin once went to Jiaozhi as a county magistrate.Of course, he was relegated because of his failure in the court struggle.

Zhu Cihong himself has actually done this kind of thing.

That is Ryukyu.

"Emperor Ming Ancestral Instructions" listed two Ryukyu countries as non-conquerable countries, one of which is the Great Ryukyu where the son of the prince and his entourage went to study in Taixue. This obviously refers to the Three Mountain Kingdom of the Ryukyu Islands, because there is no "prince" in Taiwan. , and no one came to Daming to study abroad.

The other is Xiaoliuqiu, which has no tribute exchanges.

No matter which Ryukyu is, it is a country that cannot be conquered, that is, a foreign country that Ming basically does not interfere with.And Zhu Cihong changed the name of "Taiwan" to Xiaoliuqiu, so that he could send troops to the East China Sea in a legitimate manner, and the courtiers were indifferent to this, and even the Jiangnan newspapers did not make unpleasant noises.

Of course, this may also be because the recovery of Taiwan is mainly related to the powers of Fujian. They either succumbed to the crown prince's despotic power, or saw the benefits of Taiwan's opening as a port, so they had no reason to shout around.

North Korea is different.

During the period of Taizu, Li Chenggui abolished the young master of Goryeo, claimed to be "the right to know the affairs of the state", and sent envoys to ask for the name of the country in Ming Dynasty.Because "the name of Dongyi is only called beautiful in North Korea", Taizu bestowed the name North Korea.The king of Joseon is the county king of Daming and enjoys the treatment of a prince.To show preferential treatment.

Regarding the origin of the Korean nation, Jizi was still the ancestor in the Ming Dynasty, until the decline of China, the legend of Tangun Korea gradually spread.Today's North Koreans not only call themselves the queens of Jizi.A temple was built to enshrine, and the title of the god was "the first ancestor", and the legend of Tangun's Joseon Dynasty was regarded as absurd, and there was no way to verify it.Some even thought that even if Tangun existed, he was just a barbarian and could not be compared with the enlightened Jizi of Hajo.

This sense of national identity has made North Korea a semi-independent vassal state.There will eventually be a Ming Dynasty, and North Korea will use the reign title of the Ming Dynasty, the clothing and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" as the national law.The king accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and put it under the control of the governor of Denglai.

In terms of language and writing, Chinese characters are also the top priority, and official reading is already second. As for King Zhuangxian of North Korea, the so-called King Sejong, he invented the phonetic Hangeul.It is also a writing symbol used by inferior talents.

Under such circumstances, if Ming really wanted to annex North Korea, North Korea would probably push it halfway.As for the Korean nobles, as well as the Yangban and the middle class, there will probably be a large number of loyal ministers and filial sons who have contributed to "national integration".

However, North Korea is too familiar with Ming Dynasty, and any scholar knows that there is a vassal state in the east called North Korea, and its country is taught by Jizi.Take "Hong Fan" as the top.If you rashly send troops to recover North Korea, it will definitely cause great repercussions in the country.In particular, Emperor Taizu Gao had already said, "It's not auspicious for me to raise troops and attack lightly."

……

"This Zhao Qiming is really sticking a broom in his ass - pretending to be a wolf with a big tail! The general has been here no less than five times, and he still avoids seeing him!" The accompanying waiter couldn't help complaining.

Chen De's expression was gloomy.People in their early twenties are just young and vigorous, and they can't bear to be sloppy in their actions.If it weren't for the story of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", he might have set Zhao Qiming's thatched cottage on fire.Especially after being relegated to North Korea.Day and night are full of annoyance and remorse, and there is an evil fire in my heart that cannot be vented.

Chen De recalled listening to the teachings with the Crown Prince, and recalled that Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou were just rookies at the time, but now he was relegated to the land of Dongyi, while Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou had already passed away. Go to the altar to pay homage to the general.Achievement name.Such a big contrast made him unable to swallow this breath, and vowed to make some achievements in North Korea.

However, North Korea is an even barren place than Liaodong.The people are lazy and unbearable to practice.Even the so-called strong soldiers here, Chen De felt that even the miners of the Liaodong Division were inferior. It is no wonder that the Japanese almost wiped out the country with only 14 horses.

Just when Chen De was almost in despair, someone told him a piece of news: In the outskirts of Pyongyang Prefecture, there was a sage from the Ming Dynasty. love.

If such a "villager" existed, Chen De would of course rush from Hanyang to Pyongyang, hoping to see him.After he was relegated, although he had a great reputation as the admiral of the Korean army, he could only mobilize a dozen guards brought from Liaodong in the whole of North Korea, as well as the five hundred Korean soldiers who had been trained for more than a year.

As for the civil servants, that's not something he can mobilize.And everyone is complaining about the lack of manpower, so where are you willing to allocate resources to help him?At the same time, because these civil officials vigorously searched for Han Chinese who could be recruited in North Korea, Chen De felt more and more hungry for that sage named Zhao Qiming.

It's a pity that sages have a sick mentality of avoiding the world, and they are always willing to go out of the mountain only when they have to.This Zhao Qiming was dying of illness. Chen De went there five times, and each time there was only a North Korean boy guarding the door.

Mao Shi followed behind Chen De, but he was a little thoughtful.After he was dispatched to the Liaodong Division, Chen De took good care of him, so he didn't suffer much, and he continued to lead the army proudly.After Chen De was relegated to North Korea because he withdrew his troops and lost his soil, Mao Shi felt guilty towards Chen De, and was always annoyed that he did not personally supervise the battle, so that he was defeated, so he asked to follow Chen De into Liao, and got the consent of Liaodong.

Of course, the transfer of a garrison soldier does not need to go through too high a level of approval. If Xiao Donglou hadn't been so devoted to Mao Shi, he wouldn't even have seen the relevant documents.

"General," Mao Shi called out to stop Chen De, "something is wrong."

"What?" Chen Dele stopped, turned around and asked.

"I didn't see his cattle today." Mao Shi said in a deep voice.

"So what?" Chen De didn't think so.Cows are living creatures, they may have gone out to graze on their own, they may have been borrowed by neighbors to work, or Mr. Zhao may have had a gluttonous attack and slaughtered them for meat...isn't it strange to see it?

"Zhao Qiming is an outsider, and the villagers say he has no land, so why raise cattle?" Mao Shi said.

"Transportation?" an attendant whispered as an excuse.

Mao Shi turned to the attendant, but he didn't laugh at him, he just said: "Why did we see him leave the cattle at home last two times?" He said to Chen De: "I think there are probably two things, one is crowding Grandma, one is pulling a cart."

Chen De thought for a while: "According to this, he is unbearable and wants to escape!"

"That's right." Mao Shi said, "We might as well kill the carbine and follow that boy, we might be able to find Mr. Zhao's hiding place."

Chen De twisted a strand of horse mane and sighed: "Why is this so? Since he is determined not to use it for me, let's find another way."

"What does it matter if I'm a criminal?" Mao Shi said, "The general is in his prime, do you really want to spend time here?"

Chen De's heart skipped a beat, and he finally shook his head.

Mao Shi gritted his teeth lightly, turned the horse's head suddenly, and galloped towards the road without saying a word.

Chen De subconsciously chased after him for two steps, but finally stopped.

"General, shall we follow?" the follower asked.

"Let's go back to the city." Chen De shook his head, thinking to himself: So what if we really find this sage?There are not many literary and talented scholars living in seclusion in the world, but how many people can point out the country like Zhuge Wolong?

Mao Shi didn't think so.

He knew that the way of thinking of scholars was very different from that of generals.

Think Cao Junshi was also a student back then?In Lu Dudu's camp, he could only be a small scribe who copied and wrote, in charge of food, grass and military resources.Once on the mountain, make plans, kill people, kidnap money, blackmail blackmail... Zhuge Liang's strategy is three steps, he is three steps, and he walks two miles without repeating the same thing!

Warriors like myself feel trapped in North Korea and have nothing to do.Find a scholar to take a look, maybe it will make a difference!

What's more, how can ordinary students come to North Korea to become hermits all the way?

This Zhao Qiming is probably a person with a story.Stories are equal to experience, and experienced readers can always give people a little surprise.

Mao Shi rode his horse all the way back to the mountain village with only three or five families, got off his horse, not wanting to alarm outsiders.He went to Zhao Qiming's house and took a look. He happened to see the North Korean boy carrying a basket filled with bowls and chopsticks and other miscellaneous household items. He went out briskly and walked out of the village without locking it.

Mao Shi spotted the direction the boy was walking in, but instead of chasing him, he turned back and entered Zhao Qiming's room.

This house was built in the Ming Dynasty French style, and it was two ends higher than the houses of the surrounding Korean poor.While searching, Mao Shi thought to himself: Where can I find a craftsman who knows the style of Ming Dynasty in this remote place?It's probably because Zhao Qiming himself knows how to build things.Anyway, this is also a capable person!

When Mao Shi turned around and came out, he was even more sure that Zhao Qiming was going to run away.

In the whole house, except for the furniture which is inconvenient to carry, everything else that can be taken away has been taken away. I'm afraid this kid will be here for the last time.If Chen De came two days late, it was probably because the real bird had emptied its nest.

——This stubborn scholar, it's not for your life to let you become an official!What are you running?

Mao Shi slandered, and chased after the boy in the direction he left.

The little boy's steps were small, and he carried things again, walking slowly, unaware that there was someone behind him, and still singing nursery rhymes happily, he walked towards the mountain where the master was hiding.

Zhao Qiming chose to live in seclusion in Pyongyang Prefecture, Pyongan Road, because of the continuous mountains here.
