Chapter 429 The Emperor of Joseon
When Yang Xin hurried back to Nanjing, his sailors brought the latest news from North Korea and Yi Liang's second envoy, Kim Sang-heon, from Mokpo Harbor......
"Jin Si advises the king to report back to the king, the day Yang arrived in Korea, that is, the time when the wild boar skin was beheaded."
Yang Dudu said.
"The governor is powerful in Liaodong, and everyone in the world knows it."
The latter hurriedly patted him on the back.
This person was originally called Joseon Wen Tianxiang by the sticks in history, and he was the most resolute resistance among the ministers under Li Liang, his brother was defending Gongju for Li Liang before, and committed suicide after losing it, in fact, at this time, because of the forced shaving of wild boar skin, the gentry in southern Korea resisted strongly, and the reason why Jiannu did not take down Naju was because of the stubborn resistance of the gentry in the whole state.
After all, they also take this issue seriously.
"However, the king still needs to hold on to Luozhou for a while, after all, the priest has also seen it, the situation on my side is also very complicated, the Red Turban Army has just completed the appeasement, and they have to be reorganized, and these regimental exercises around them are also dissatisfied with the appeasement of them, maybe they will fight at any time. Speaking of which, I don't even have any available soldiers in my hands now, the rebellion in Guizhou has just subsided, and the soldiers in the south who can fight are suppressed there, and the soldiers in the north are all in Liaodong, and the military department does not have a single soldier for me, so I am asked to recruit on the spot in this area. ”
Then Yang Xin complained.
Kim Sang-hun is not a fool, he knows very well what to do at this time.
"Governor, North Korea is ruined by Hulu, and all the wealth is plundered for it, but the governor has worked hard to save North Korea, how can the contemptuous prince be rude, there are some jewels and the like, please sell them to help the army."
He said, taking a box from his entourage.
"Jin Siji, you look down on Yang!"
Yang Xinyi said rhetorically.
"Is Yang one of those bribe-seekers? Yang was ordered to run an errand, the military supplies were supplied by the imperial court, and North Korea was poisoned by Jiannu and the white bones were exposed, these should be relieved to the people, is Yang short of money? Jin Sijian hurriedly took these back, otherwise don't blame Yang for being angry. ”
He said.
"Huh?"
Kim Sang-heon was stunned.
Immediately, he stood up with admiration and saluted to show respect to Yang Dudu.
"Don't think too much about it, although Yang has to recruit troops, the marines of the naval division can immediately go to North Korea for reinforcements, and there is also General Qi's headquarters there, it is still enough to hold Luozhou, and Yang will act as fast as possible here without delaying too long. Yang will not ask the Korean people for a piece of silver, but Yang still has some things here that are beneficial to you and me, and he needs to ask the secretary to report to the king for a decision. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Governor, please speak."
Kim Sang-hun hurriedly said.
Yang Xin definitely wants benefits, and this kind of thing doesn't need benefits to hell.
But what else does North Korea have to care about at this time, anyway, the land, population, and money have basically all fallen into the hands of Hulu, and Li Liang now only has Gwangju, Naju, and Mokpo, which are more than 100 miles long, dozens of miles wide plains, and there are several small islands along the coast such as Jeju Island. As long as Yang Xin can save them, it doesn't matter if he gives Jeju Island to him, he wants other places to be casual, and it is better to ask women to do it, and whoever he likes, even Li Liang's concubine, will also give it to him, who can take care of anything else at this time.
"Now North Korea is ten rooms and nine empty, right?"
Yang Xin said.
"Hu Lu just slaughtered Quanzhou for 10 days not long ago, and it is said that there are less than 100 people left in the whole city to collect the corpses."
Kim Sang-hun wiped away his tears and said.
"These Hulu are simply too inhumane, but Yang Mou out, this Hulu must be driven away, and the reconstruction of North Korea after driving away is the top priority, Yang is a farmer, and he likes to open up wasteland and farm land over the years, and hundreds of thousands of acres of saline-alkali flats in Tianjin are now in the hands of Yang Mou. Therefore, Yang wanted to recruit some Ming people to go to North Korea to reclaim land and farm after the war, this had the permission of the king, and the king could rest assured that these were not immigrants, they were all Yang's hired laborers, and Yang would also pay taxes to the king for reclamation. ”
Yang Xin said.
It's good to slaughter the city, the wild boar skin slaughtered the city, just to clear the place for him.
Quanzhou is a grain depot of sticks, the largest plain in the country, although their plain is as big as Songjiang Mansion, but it is undeniable that it is very suitable for farming, the latitude is about the same as the south of Qingdao, you can do two crops a year, one side faces the sea to welcome the rain, and the river water flowing out of the mountains behind it is irrigated. Such a good place can basically accommodate half of Yan'an, and there is no difference in climate, there is no problem of adaptation, of course, Yan'an should not immigrate there, Yan'an is suitable for Sichuan.
But Shandong's just in the past.
Luxi is also the hardest-hit area, and even the Shandong Peninsula is the hardest-hit area.
Especially in the northwest of Shandong, it is completely a continuous large-scale drought, and accompanied by locusts, it is completely a posture of thousands of miles of red land.
Then Jeonju in North Korea suits them well.
There is no need to transport it by speedboat, and the warships of the sailors can transport tens of thousands at a time.
"With the benevolence of the governor, it is really a villain to be a villain."
Kim Sang-hun said movingly.
"Yang is not just reclamation, I think you have also heard of Ye Hebu's good life now, Yang likes to make friends with foreign vassals, I can also look for mines, do business, open a money bank with you, in short, I will let North Korea quickly restore prosperity, and I will also bring a large amount of taxes to the king. However, the king needs to give me the right to monopolize some things, such as only allowing me to open a bank, the land I reclaim is my private property, the minerals I find are also my private property, and I can build a commercial port in your country.
Of course, the tax rate should also be less.
After all, I'm going to make money too. ”
Yang Xin said.
His goal is to be the emperor of North Korea.
What's the point of annexation at this time? If they are annexed, they must be given the same treatment as their own people, otherwise they will eventually be dissatisfied, and then find an excuse to make trouble and rebel, then they have to continue to invest in cost suppression, and even toss too hard and have to give them some preferential treatment in exchange for them not to make trouble. What's more, it is not good for Yang Dudu to annex it, but this model can continue to stuff people at them without caring whether their people live or die. If the common people oppose it, then Li Liang is also responsible for suppression, and Yang Dudu only needs to be responsible for being the emperor to control Li Liang.
Then the DPRK turned into his ATM.
Commerce is controlled by him, fertile land is controlled by him, minerals are controlled by him, and the whole of Korea is full of his armed cantonment employees, everywhere is his commercial stronghold, just like Britain plays India.
Everything in North Korea gradually fell into his hands.
It is not suitable for scalping colonization in civilized areas, this method is suitable for barbarian areas with a low degree of civilization, and for colonization of civilized areas, it is suitable for Indian-style, supporting the upper class to enslave the subjects, and then through various privileges to get the wealth of the upper class enslaved subjects into their own hands, and at the same time constantly immigrating and dyeing under various pretexts such as commerce. When the lower echelons can't bear to rise up, they even have to help the upper echelons suppress them, and then after a hundred years like this, even if you want to leave, those upper echelons will cry and shout that they won't let you go.
As for killing, control population growth......
This person will do it for you by the upper echelons themselves.
It is suitable for North Korea, in the case of being the emperor, taking these old nobles together to be a parasite on the head of the Korean people, we must keep the decadence and backwardness of this land, and we must not give them light.
As for whether Li Kun agrees......
No need for Li Liang to decide.
Kim Sang-heon himself was able to agree very simply.
Then Governor Yang quickly gave him a list of various items that should be granted privileges, especially extraterritoriality, which must be made clear.
This one is also a must.
Anyway, it is impossible for the North Korean side to manage the people of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this should be the original way for them.
In short, Kim Sang-hun, the Korean Wen Tianxiang respected by the sticks, quickly signed countless treaties that could almost be said to be unequal, and gave all the lifeblood of North Korea to Yang Shin in a daze.
"That's fine, Si Ji can go back to report to the king, just say that Yang will soon lead troops over to clear the dust for the king, and my 3,000 marines will follow Si Ji to go over, with them, if you want to come to Jiannu, you can't capture Luozhou."
Yang Xin said with satisfaction.
Then he just sent Kim Sang-hun away.
As for recruiting new troops......
What's the urgency, let's talk about it at the end of the year, anyway, at this time, Yang Dudu still has to provide disaster relief.
Changzhou, Jiangyin's flood has occurred, but there are not many people who died, mainly because the entire disaster area has basically been militia, after getting the early warning of Yang Dudu, those village heads and battalion commanders, have long been ready for battle, the people in this area have sufficient experience in floods, as long as the organization is effective, basically no one will die. Moreover, the flood in this area is not the kind of flash flood that pours down, but the rain exceeds the capacity to contain it, and eventually all the rivers overflow, and then cause a large area of flooding nearby.
Then the adobe house collapsed.
However, the water in this area also recedes quickly, after all, it is next to the Yangtze River, and as long as the flood occurs with good organization, the damage can be minimized.
But.
Relief must be provided after the flood is over.
Otherwise, the victims of the flood will starve to death, and they will die of disease in the plague after the flood, especially since the rainy season has not ended, and those affected by the continuous rain need to be resettled, otherwise they will also die of disease soon after being exposed to the rain.
In short, Yang Dudu needs to spend money, how can he be in the mood to recruit new troops at this time, and besides, he is not saying that there is a lack of available troops, rather than using the hundreds of thousands of recruits that the Ministry of War has just approved for him, it is better to use them to help the victims first. In particular, it is not only Changzhou Jiangyin that has been hit by the disaster, when the continuous heavy rain has flattened the entire Taihu Lake, a large number of villages in Wuxi have also been flooded, and even the Wujiang River is in an emergency, where farmland has completely disappeared in the flood.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the wheat harvest is over.
