The two classes are the hereditary classes of ancient Goryeo and Korea. [Full text reading]

According to Xie Hong's understanding, it is probably somewhat similar to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is far from it. The honors and nobles of the Ming Dynasty are all hereditary military positions, and with the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the nobles is really not very high.

The two classes in North Korea are different, they are both civil and military. In addition to obtaining official positions, the children of the two classes also basically monopolized the imperial examinations, and at the same time maintained the status of the two classes through marriage.

Therefore, North Korea, which imitates China everywhere, finally surpassed the Ming Dynasty to some extent, and the status of the two classes of nobles is higher than that of the scholars in the Central Plains, and they can blatantly treat the emperor as a puppet, and they can also engage in a coup d'état or something when they are unhappy, such as the Yan Shanjun who was sent by Xie Hong, is a typical example.

At that time, when the North Korean officials carried out a coup d'état, the slogan was not to clear the monarch's side, but to shout it very directly, to overthrow the faint monarch.

After listening to Cui Dabing's narration of this allusion, Xie Hong also secretly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately, the place he crossed was Daming, if it was in North Korea, I was afraid that he would have hung up with the emperor a long time ago, and the stick was worthy of being a stick, and it was really straightforward.

I don't know if those officials in Yanjing know about this situation, if they do, they must be envious to death in their hearts, right? Xie Hong speculated with ill intentions.

In fact, it's not that there is a problem with the wisdom and strategy of the Da Mingshi people, but the Central Plains is too big, there are too many talents, and the forces are huge, so it is very difficult to engage in Lianheng.

If there were no Xie Hong and Zhengde, two unconventional people, there would not be such a harmonious atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty as now, and the small court of North Korea could use marriage to maintain the relationship between the two classes of nobles, but in the Ming Dynasty, unless each family gave birth to one hundred or ten children, it would not be completely connected.

Xie Hong didn't expect that the bell delivery incident he casually made last year would have such a far-reaching impact, and he can still benefit from it until now.

In fact, don't look at his pride before he set off, but Leng Ding ran to the territory of North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, and Xie Hong was also confused about the specific situation here.

Moreover, the policy of fooling the people in the DPRK is even more powerful than that of the Central Plains, and he did not inquire about any useful information along the way, except for the geographical situation. If it weren't for the fact that before leaving, he had asked a certain knowledgeable person with great powers, Xie Hong wouldn't even know what the two classes of nobles were.

Now that he heard that there were such people on the island, Xie Hong was of course very happy, knowing that he knew that he would win all battles, and intelligence was the most important thing.

After thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and there were about seven or eight people in the voice, Xie Hong raised his eyes and glanced at it, and fixed on one of them, he felt that this person was a little familiar, and this person's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him.

Why doesn't my brother remember that he has acquaintances in North Korea? Xie Hong frowned, could it be that this person is the ancestor of a famous stick in later generations, who looks more similar, but the eyes of his brother for Mao are so strange?

"Ahh You are Xie ...... Xie ...... "That man's surname is obviously better than Xie Hong's, his eyes quickly changed from dazed to frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, he jumped up and shrunk into a ball in the corner.

"What is it called, this is an adult from the Ming Kingdom, how dare you be rude? Jin Xia Ai, you used to be an envoy, and when you met the adults of the kingdom, was you so rude? The captives are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, at least that's what Cui Dabing thought, seeing someone yelling, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of maintaining order.

"Really narrow-minded?" Xie Hong patted his thigh and remembered that he did know this person, it was the North Korean envoy he had seen in the Taihe Hall when he first entered Beijing last year, and the person who was finally 'given' the bell.

"Brother Ma, you take the others out to wait first, and I will interrogate this person personally." This person's appearance obviously recognized him, and Xie Hong didn't want to spread the news so quickly, so he also made a decision immediately.

"Don't need me to translate?" Maangqi said.

"No need, just go and talk about it later." Xie Hong waved his hand, this person understands Chinese, and he has a lot of attainments, otherwise can he be elected as an envoy?

"It's so narrow-minded, you still know Ben Hou, right? How did you end up here? After everyone went out, Xie Hong turned to Jin Xia Ai and asked.

"Recognize...... Recognize, you are Lord Xie...... "How can you not recognize it, for someone Jin, Xie Hong is an out-and-out plague god."

Before Xie Hong, he hadn't been to Daming to pay tribute, and how generous the rewards and hospitality he received at that time! It's like a dream. As far as he knows, the predecessors before him are also like this, and when they go to the Ming Dynasty, it is a great difference, and the red people who are not in front of the king cannot serve as it.

However, just last year, he met Xie Hong at the Taihe Palace, and then everything changed completely...... First of all, the reward was lost, although the clock is wonderful, but after all, it can't be eaten, if you want to sell it, you have to go to Wadao to find a way, although there are many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, but who dares to buy the things given by the emperor?

As a result, two days after returning to North Korea, he actually suffered a coup d'état that is rare in a century!

Although he had long known that the nobles were dissatisfied with the previous king Li Long, and the country was also suffering from famine, he still did not expect that because of this bell, it would cause such a big storm, and the king was directly overthrown, and he himself became a prisoner and was sent to Jeju Island.

All of this is because of the young man in front of him, seeing Xie Hongyan smiling Yan Yan, just like when he said that he was in the Taihe Palace, Jin Xia was in a trance, fear and pain filled his heart, and in the face of Xie Hong's inquiry, he wanted to yell: Why is Lao Tzu here? You still have the face to ask, it's not because of you, a plague god!

Of course, this is just a fantasy in his heart, when he was in the capital, he still had the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty by his side to support him, and he could still have some courage, but now...... Jin Xia Ai also heard that this plague god came on a pirate ship and yelled at him? Don't die, do you want to feed the sharks!

"It seems that Ben Hou really hurt you, but it doesn't matter, Jin Envoy, you will serve Ben Hou in the future." Xie Hong fakely sighed, and then threw out a sweet date.

"Hou Ye Longen, the villain dares not to die." Jin Xia loves tears, not for anything else, just for Xie Hong's words. God opened my eyes, I finally had an admitted, and I really can't be blamed for what happened last year...... said that it was effective, but in fact, Xie Hong just wanted to get some news from Jin Xia Ai, of course, because he still had arrangements for the North Koreans on Jeju Island, so someone also needed to organize the dispatch in it.

That Cui Wanhu is very suitable for doing this, but it is also necessary to arrange a few more people to divide them, no matter how docile he is, he is not his own person after all, and he can't be trusted too much.

As for answering Xie Hong's question, Jin Xia Ai has no psychological obstacles, anyway, he has been abandoned by the imperial court.

Although he was a little stronger than his old master Li Long, he was lucky to save his surname. But the life here in Jeju Island has really made him miserable, and if Xie Hong hadn't appeared, he would have felt that he wouldn't have survived for the past two years.

You know, North Korea is a barren place, and Jeju Island is a relatively barren place, so it's no wonder that you can do hard labor here.

What's more, it's useless if he doesn't answer, there are still many people from the two classes outside, and there are always people who know the times, just like that Cui Dabing.

Xie Hong began to ask questions about the North Korean court, such as power factions, although Jin Xia Ai has been away from politics for more than a year, but North Korea is so big, and the court is just such a group of people, changing and changing, and his answers are also very detailed, which makes Xie Hong very satisfied.

“…… A trolls? However, when asked the question that Xie Hong was most concerned about, he was stunned and muttered to himself: "How can there be any decent naval army in the eight provinces of Korea?" There are still some people who can ship goods near the sea, but there is no ship like Hou Ye. ”

"Not really?" Xie Hong was a little disappointed, although the threat was much smaller without this enemy, but he would waste a lot of time. He is not afraid of fighting against a powerful fleet, but he is afraid that the other party will harass Jeju Island without playing, so that he will not be able to concentrate on the Goto Raider.

Wang Zhi was not born yet, and the people who were entrenched there should be the natives of Wajima, although those people were also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but they were much more difficult to deal with than the North Koreans. Xie Hong's strength at hand is limited, of course, he has to go all out.

The best way to deal with North Korea is to deter, seduce their most powerful fleet, and then strike a thunderous blow to completely subdue it, and then you can have no worries about the future, who would have thought that the legendary fleet had not yet been born, how could Xie Hong not be disappointed?

Jin Xiaai said suddenly: "However, although the imperial court does not have a naval army, North Korea still has a fleet, and its strength is indeed not weak. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes, sir. North Korea followed the example of the Ming Dynasty and also implemented the policy of banning the sea, but North Korea also has something different from the Ming Dynasty, that is, the ...... of the Wa State"

If it is said that the Japanese go to Daming is a hike, then when they come to North Korea, they can only say that they go to the next door.

The two countries are separated by only a narrow Tsushima Strait, and although the Japanese are not well developed in navigation, such a distance is not difficult for them. Across the sea from the island of Kyushu were Jeolla and Gyeongsang, the richest provinces in Korea, so the invasion of the Japanese invaded became a common practice.

In such a situation, North Korea wants to ban the sea and restrict its own navy, which is actually a very idiotic thing. However, compared to the Ming Dynasty's policy of banning the sea, it is not stupid, not to mention that North Korea has a special actual situation.

This situation is the political situation in North Korea.

If the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty is aimed at the hypocrisy, then North Korea has already achieved this goal, and the King of the Lee family of Korea is a complete puppet, very similar to the emperor of the Wa Kingdom.

However, the status is still inferior, otherwise no one would have shouted the slogan of defeating the faint king last year.

And the military system of North Korea is also relatively relaxed, there are no fixed generals, no fixed soldiers, this system ensures that even if there is a king with the surname Zhengde, he will not be able to do what Zhengde did in the Ming Dynasty, because he can't grasp the military power anyway, and it is not very useful to master it.

Because in North Korea, the two classes of nobles are not only important ministers in the court, but also nobles, or local heroes, and the private soldiers in their hands are all professional soldiers, and these talents are the most powerful.

In fact, it is similar to the direction of the development of the Ming Dynasty, but the national conditions of North Korea are more suitable for this system, and the development is also very fast.

It's the same with the trolls. Despite the fact that there were few regular naval troops in Korea, and the ships were all dilapidated, those nobles had ships in their hands, and every year when the Japanese invaded on a large scale, they would also assemble and patrol the coast, and this fleet was also the predecessor of Yi Sunsin's fleet in later generations.

Of course, this judgment was speculated by Xie Hong.

In fact, if it weren't for this, how could the king of Joseon give up the waterway and desperately run to Liaodong during the Battle of Imjin? And Yi Sunsin's navy did not join the battlefield at the beginning, but did not cooperate with the Ming army until the reinforcements of the Ming army appeared.

It is not so much that the fleet was left idle because it was not ordered, but that it did not have time to assemble at all. And the king of Korea didn't know that there was such a naval army at all, and he knew that he couldn't dispatch it, so he ran to Liaodong with his life.

"So in your opinion, if the news of Jeju Island reaches Korea, will those nobles gather a naval army?"

"If they know the details, I'm afraid they will come......" Jin Xia Ai peeked at Xie Hong's face and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he said cautiously.

"Good!" Xie Hong slapped Jin Xiaai violently, startling Jin Xiaai, and when he heard what Xie Hong said next, he was even more surprised.

"Without further ado, let's find someone to report the news."
