Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fusang Raiders
In the end, the three countries of Korea scraped together 10 million taels of silver and 2 million stones, grain and grass as the loss (reward) of the Ming Dynasty's troops, and the other three countries also sent envoys to bring hundreds of beautiful women and treasures to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to express their gratitude to the Heavenly Empire for this protection.
Ran Wu reluctantly agreed to let the troops withdraw from the occupied cities, but for important ports such as Busan Port, he stationed troops in the name of guarding against the Fuso army from attacking again, and had the authority to patrol and inspect the ports, which was actually equivalent to putting these ports in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
This is of great significance, both militarily and economically, and this is also the tone that Jiang Chuan has set in advance.
He will not be like before, for the sake of the face of a so-called great power of the Celestial Empire, be a big wrongdoer, help others drive away the wolves, and go back to spend his own money to heal his injuries, Jiang Chuan will never be able to do that kind of thing.
Although the three Koreas were very reluctant, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and endure it. This time, the Ming army's powerful and unparalleled combat effectiveness in Korea made them even more intimidating.
Moreover, this time it was only the second-line troops who went to war, so they did not dare to have any complaints.
Let's say that after the three Korean countries handed over the silver, grain and grass, Ran Wu also sent a team of men and horses to escort the envoys of the three Korean countries into Beijing to pay tribute, after all, there were still some scattered bandits and bandits along the way.
Although the bandits have been greatly reduced compared with before, they cannot be completely eradicated, and there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, killing people and robbing money.
Moreover, the recitals of Ran Wu and Deng Shichang had already reached the capital, and Jiang Chuan Dayue ordered to publicize the great victory of Korea in the Di Bao and the "Daming Daily".
For a while, the government and the opposition were thunderous, and the names of Ran Wu and his generals who participated in the war were also known for a while, and Ran Wu was even elected as another god of war alongside Di Qing.
Up and down the capital, the central topic for a while became the great victory of North Korea, and those storytellers who responded quickly and thought quickly even turned this matter into a story for the first time, and it was widely known in the major restaurants and teahouses, and the place of Goolan and tiles.
Even the sales of Daming Daily have skyrocketed more than three times during this time, and everyone is excited and happy for a while.
At this time, the news that the three Korean countries had sent an embassy to Beijing to pay tribute made this matter even more enthusiastic.
You must know that since the decline of the Ming Dynasty, the rise of the Manchu Qing, and the submission of the three Korean countries to the Manchu Qing, it has been decades since they sent people to pay tribute.
Although after the rise of Jiangchuan, the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the three kingdoms of Korea also became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again, but has not officially sent a mission, this time can be said to be the first time in decades, the pride of the people, the sense of pride, the sense of superiority of the people of the heavenly kingdom has been stimulated again, and everyone is excited, talking everywhere, these days even the beggars in the capital feel that their backs are much straighter when they beg for food.
And all this is naturally because of the regent in power, so Jiangchuan's prestige and authority have been pushed to a new height, and everyone in the government and the opposition respects and believes that the regent is the king of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in everyone's eyes, only the regent, the Ji family's royal family, and the emperor Ji Siyuan, who was imprisoned in the palace, did not mention it.
In this kind of situation of flowers and brocade, it is inevitable that some depressed and stubborn so-called loyal ministers secretly shed a few tears for the royal family of the Ji family, and secretly scolded Jiangchuan for a few nonsense such as chaotic ministers and thieves, wolf ambitions, etc.
At this time, in the regent's palace, Jiang Chuan was discussing with Liu Ji, Su Qin, Hu Zongxian and other absolute confidants, and the theme was naturally a series of things caused by the great victory of North Korea.
"Your Highness, this time Tokugawa Hidetada was captured, and the 150,000-strong army was completely annihilated, which is basically equivalent to wiping out the elite forces of Fuso Country. At present, it seems that the Fuso Kingdom will not be able to slow down for twenty or thirty years, and without the suppression of powerful figures such as Tokugawa Hidetada, I am afraid that it will fall into the situation of constant war and chaos before. In this way, it is not a threat to my Daming at all. When the domestic situation stabilizes, we can free up our hands to solve the threat of Fuso once and for all. ”
It was Hu Zongxian who spoke, and he was accustomed to thinking from a military point of view.
Everyone here understands what he means, and the so-called free hands to solve the problem once and for all is to directly send troops across the strait to directly occupy Fuso.
Jiang Chuan looked at Liu Ji and Su Qin and asked their opinions with his eyes.
"What Brother Ru Zhen said is very reasonable, Fusang's resumption of civil strife is an inevitable trend, if we operate from it again, let them add chaos to chaos, so that Fusang will not be able to reunify again within forty or fifty years, even if it is superficial reunification, it will naturally not be able to pose a threat to our country. However, if we want to solve the threat of Fusang once and for all, it is not the best policy to directly send troops to occupy it, but to slowly try to do it, use both grace and power, and use gentle means and cultural occupation to divide all strata of Fusang, suppress what should be suppressed, and win over those who are co-opted, so that we can truly maximize the interests of our country. ”
Su Qin got up and paced back and forth and said, he was in charge of the domain, and he knew the situation of Fusang Country best, and his words were obviously not in a hurry, but in his chest.
"Su Zi is far-sighted and really clever. His Highness often said that force is not the best means of solving problems, but the last resort. This time, the Fuso country suffered a big loss in Korea, and presumably the arrogance has been completely defeated by our army, and it must be that the country is in chaos at this time, and the people are panicking.
This is the opportunity for our country to take control of Fuso. According to the old man, when supporting a puppet king in Fusang, His Royal Highness will send a capable general to garrison Fusang to open his eyes, so that Fusang can not achieve unification but also maintain basic stability, and then use Fusang's manpower and material resources to be used in our country, and at the same time attract and support those famous nobles, and allow their children to come to our country to study or even become officials, so that they can gradually identify with my Ming Dynasty culturally, and at the same time, these people can also be used as protons to ensure that those famous nobles dare not have two hearts.
In addition, Fuso can be used as a dumping market for China's commodities to stimulate China's commercial development. Thirdly, if His Highness goes on an expedition to another country in the future, he can recruit a servant army from Fuso to go out together. It is said that although these Fuso people are arrogant and arrogant, they are often not afraid of death, and they are really the best candidates to use as cannon fodder. In this way, Fuso can no longer be troubled by our country. ”
Liu Ji is the best at summarizing, these words really synthesize the opinions of Hu Zongxian and Su Qin, and he has his own unique opinions, and everyone nods frequently.
Jiang Chuan went from modern society, and when he heard it, he knew that this meant to make Fusang a colony of the Ming Dynasty.
