Chapter 81: The North Korean Coup

Zhu Youxiao's decision to change the place of exile to Jeju Island was to rapidly increase the number of Han Chinese on Jeju Island, so he included people other than death row prisoners in prisons in Nanbei Zhili and Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Zhejiang and other places into the ranks of exile and confiscation into the army, but it means that the place of exile is Taiwan Island.

In this way, some people are unwilling, because a little sin should have only been shackled for a month, but as a result, they will be exiled, and no one will be willing to fall on them.

However, the officials in the prison clearly told them that the so-called exiled soldiers were not actually military households, but still civilian households, and they could bring their wives and children with them, and each household would be divided into 100 acres of land, and they would be provided with free farm tools and seeds and cattle, and they would be exempt from taxes for three years.

This is exile, this is clearly giving you a land. The vast majority of the prisoners welcomed the punishment, and soon nearly 3,000 people were willing to accept exile, most of them with their families, a total of 7,000.

These exiled criminals and their families were gathered in Tianjin, Denglai, Yangzhou and other three places, and were transported to Taiwan by the imperial court's ships.

Soon after boarding the ship, Zheng Yiguan's pirate ship appeared, and after firing a few empty cannons, the official ship surrendered. Then Jeong Il-kwan gathered the officials and sailors on the official ship in one boat and let them go, while the other ships were controlled by the pirates and sailed to Jeju Island.

After getting on the ship, Zheng Yiguan announced: "Everyone, we are pirates, don't panic, I am also a Han Chinese, and I will not hurt everyone." Everyone is a person who was exiled for breaking the law in the Ming Dynasty, and now we have found a place, but there is a lack of people to reclaim it, so we robbed everyone. ”

Most of the prisoners calmed down, there was not much difference between pirates and the imperial court, anyway, everywhere they went, they just ate and dressed and handed over the emperor's grain.

Zheng Yiguan said again: "We asked the escort officials, and the treatment promised by the imperial court to you is the same as ours, a hundred acres of land per household, if you want more, as long as you can reclaim it, you can also do it." Provide farm tools and cattle seeds, three years do not need to pay grain, but three years can not return to Daming, three years if you want to go back to Daming, we can send you back for free. ”

Everyone was excited, the conditions were better than the imperial court, as long as they were diligent, there should be no problem with food and clothing, so they had the courage to ask: "Can we take our savings with us when we leave?" ”

Zheng Yiguan laughed and said: "Of course, everyone can bring no more than a hundred catties of luggage, and your savings from your labor in the next three years are all yours." "I was thinking, on this island, are you going to bring back a hundred catties of rice or citrus in three years?

After the two sides reached an agreement, it was simple, Jeju Island is huge, and there is no problem with this point at all. However, Zheng Yiguan still underestimated the hardships and hard work of the Chinese, although the natural conditions were not very good, but this group of immigrants quickly turned Jeju Island into a beautiful island rich in production, ten years later, there were 100,000 people on the island, of which 90% were Chinese, and most of the immigrants lived a relatively rich life by selling citrus, rice, and fish. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

Jeju Island was only 200 miles from North Korea, so after the pirates occupied Jeju Island, the North Koreans quickly received the news. It's just that at this time, a big thing happened in North Korea, and I couldn't take care of such a small thing as Jeju Island for a while.

In March of the third year of the Apocalypse, a palace coup d'Γ©tat took place in Korea. Li Gui, Li Shi, Jin Zidian and others of the Westerner Party, with the assistance of Queen Renmu and the newly rising Nanren Party forces, gathered troops to rendezvous in Ayayang-kun's villa, entered Qingyun Palace, and staged a palace coup. On the morning of March 13, Ayayang Jun Li Liang was located in the separate hall of Qingyun Palace. It was for Li Chao Renzu.

Ayayang-kun was the nephew of the previous Joseon king, Gwanghae-kun, and his actions were seen as treason by the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Keli, the governor of Tenglai, who was in charge of controlling North Korea, was the first to express his clear opposition: "Isn't it shocking to see that the abolition of the establishment has never been seen in 200 years, and once it is rumored. ”

At this time, Joseon must first be recognized by the Ming government, so a delegation was sent to Dengzhou to meet with Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and begged him to clarify the reason for the performance. Yuan Keli proceeded from the overall situation and reality and retreated to the second, "Please take the correct word and take the responsibility for it, and use the help of the teacher as a coupon to discuss with the court." ”

After Zhu Youxiao received Yuan Keli's report, he convened the cabinet ministers and the six ministries to discuss the matter. The ministers unanimously condemned Li Liang, and even Xu Guangqi, who was extremely dissatisfied with Guanghaijun, thought that Li Liang had done too much in this matter.

When Gwanghaejun succeeded to the throne that year, he was refused to be crowned king of Joseon by the Ming Dynasty five times, and in the end, it was the Joseon Ministry of Rites who bribed him with silver to be crowned. During the reign of Gwanghaejun, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty adopted a strategy of not offending both sides, and the request for assistance to the Ming Dynasty was delayed, which made the Ming Dynasty extremely dissatisfied with it, and the ministers in Korea were not optimistic about it, so in the end Injo would happen anyway.

After Zhu Youxiao and other ministers vented their anger against the DPRK, they spoke: "How to deal with this matter, please tell me about it." ”

Han Yi first said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be as Governor Yuan said, conquer Korea, and welcome the restoration of Guanghai Jun. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at this goods, and his heart was indescribably crooked, Han Yi has rarely spoken since the last time Donglin Sanshang was written. And today, Yuan Keli's angry words are used in the formal recital, and his heart is unknown.

Ye Xianggao said: "It is absolutely impossible to send troops to conscript. Now that Jiannu has not been destroyed, if North Korea is forced to fall to Jiannu, it will be even more difficult to exterminate. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Actually, if you don't talk about morality, just in terms of the attitude towards our dynasty, Gwanghae-jun is actually not very friendly, everyone knows this, of course, it is impossible to levy it now, then it can only be strictly reprimanded, and then appeased, so that it can not only accept the heart of North Korea, but also make North Korea no longer disobey the yang and the yin." ”

Let such an old master say the sentence "not morally", it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao's concept of national interests instilled in them has played a certain role, which makes Zhu Youxiao feel very gratified.

Xu Guangqi said: "Actually, this matter can be linked to the incident on Jeju Island. Haven't we always been worried that it would not be good to go directly to Jeju Island? Then we ask Lee Ju not to harm Gwanghae-kun and his son, and exile Gwanghae-kun and others to Jeju Island, where we will take care of them to ensure Gwanghae-kun's safety. ”

Zhu Youxiao is now a little skeptical, is Xu Guangqi really the great scientist mentioned in the textbooks of later generations? Look at his plan to protect Gwanghaejun, if one day Li Ju is disobedient, the Ming Dynasty can send Gwanghaejun back to North Korea at any time, and this Gwanghaejun is the sword of Damocles hanging over Li Ju's head.
