Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe guessed that the affairs of North Korea had nothing to do with Zhou Chong, they did not dare to spread the matter out, after all, Zhou Chong was not an ordinary person, but the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, North Korea attaches such a big thing, the imperial court naturally can't do it hastily, especially for the first time North Korea handed in the request to attach the letter of state, this is absolutely not agreed, after all, even the emperor Chan has to let three times, although a country is not as good as the inheritance of the throne, but at least let it go twice, so the letter of state attached to the North Korean request was returned, but then the second letter of state from North Korea was sent again, and it was sent by Li Anliang himself.

In the main hall of the leopard room, Zhengde was summoning Li Anliang, who had traveled thousands of miles from North Korea to Beijing, and Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liu Zhong, Liang Chu and other cabinet ministers also came, after all, they were very interested in Li Anliang, the person who had conquered the entire North Korea and took the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty for attachment.

Li Anliang went up to the main hall, and after bowing to Zhengde, he saw Zhengde and said with a smile: "Li Anliang, you don't have to be polite, I heard that you were dissatisfied with the rule of the previous Korean king, so you were angry and raised troops, and finally defeated several other rebels and unified the whole of Korea, but why did you attach Korea to my Daming?" ”

Zhengde actually knows the reason for the annexation of North Korea best, after all, Zhou Zhong has already explained this matter to him clearly, even those Ming officials sent to North Korea. He also ordered Jinyiwei to find it. But on occasions like today. He can only pretend to be confused, after all, if Li Dongyang and other cabinet ministers know the truth, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it as an emperor.

"Under His Majesty, the grass people were not actually Koreans, but Han people from Liaodong, who fled to North Korea because of some changes, and then lived in North Korea for ten years, where they also married and had children. This time the Korean civil strife, the grass people's families were also affected, and they couldn't even eat after the worst of the time, so they chose to rebel, and the grass people relied on the fact that they had read some books before, and they had more knowledge than those Koreans, so they were able to defeat everyone and finally unify North Korea, but the minister did not forget that he was a Han Chinese. Therefore, after the reunification of Korea, the first thing that came to mind was to request the attachment of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the grass people can become a Ming person again! Li Anliang said with a righteous face.

Hearing that Li Anliang turned out to be a Han, this made Li Dongyang and others very surprised, but then Li Anliang's words made them almost crooked their noses, Li Dongyang and they are all people who have been rolling in the officialdom for many years, and they will not believe that Li Anliang will merge the North Korea that he has fought hard into the Ming Dynasty just because he is a Han.

Among them, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe have already guessed that this Li Anliang is probably just a puppet on the surface of the Ping An Army, and as for the person who really controls the Ping An Army, I am afraid that only the young governor of the Four Seas is the young Governor of the Four Seas. And although Liu Zhong, Liang Chu and others didn't know that Lu Dao Zhouzhong was meddling in North Korea's affairs, they also felt that there must be something wrong with Li Anliang in front of them based on their own intuition.

However, compared to Li Dongyang's suspicions, Zhengde said with a touched face: "Li Qing has been wandering outside for many years, and he can still cherish his homeland and lay down a huge territory without hesitation to give me the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing Zhengde's reward, Li Anliang was also overjoyed, although he had already known in advance that he would definitely get a reward for entering Beijing this time, but the unification of Korea was mainly due to Zhou Chong's credit, so he didn't expect to get too much of a reward, but he didn't expect that the emperor in front of him would suddenly crown him as a marquis, and it was also the third generation, which was already a very heavy reward in the Ming Dynasty. The other titles are descended from generation to generation, until there is no way to descend, but he can inherit the title of marquis within three generations, which makes him dislike.

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others heard that Zhengde's reward for Li Anliang had come down, which also marked that the Ming Dynasty had agreed to the request of the DPRK to be attached, after all, Jun had no jokes, since Zhengde had agreed to it in person, it was difficult for them to oppose these ministers, not to mention that the DPRK took the initiative to attach it, which is also a manifestation of the Ming Dynasty's education, and even the history books will definitely be capitalized and close-up, and their cabinet ministers can also follow the light.

The Ming Dynasty agreed to annex Korea, and Zhengde also personally rewarded Li Anliang, so that the matter was settled, and then the entire Ming court began to operate, sending officials and troops to North Korea, the army will take over the defense of North Korea, and the officials will begin to pacify the people of North Korea.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty has not been attached to the surrounding countries or tribes for hundreds of years, and the imperial court has little experience in dealing with the internal attachment of Korea, but fortunately, the Central Plains Dynasty has a good habit, that is, it likes to record what happened, that is, the history books, and the things attached to foreign tribes in history are endless, so it is easy for the Ming Dynasty to find the corresponding information from the annals, and then refer to the corresponding countermeasures for the internal attachment of Korea.

North Korea is a country with a high degree of sinicization, known as the small Central Plains, and the people in the country also have a natural affinity for the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the previous war has displaced the Korean people, and the number of people who starved to death is countless, in the case of not having enough to eat, they have no time to think about other things, not to mention that if North Korea joins the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely bring supplies for disaster relief, which is what the people are most concerned about, so the Korean people are not exclusive to the Ming Dynasty.

However, even so, Zhengde still issued a holy decree, that is, in view of the fact that North Korea has just gone through a war, all kinds of domestic materials are very scarce, and it is a little inconvenient to transport from the Ming Dynasty, so Zhengde decided to relocate some Korean people into the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, in order to restore the economy of North Korea, the land of North Korea will be sold at a low price, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty can buy it at a low price. In fact, to put it bluntly, this holy decree is to deliberately relocate the people of Korea to disperse to various parts of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and then use the people of the Ming Dynasty to enrich the land of Korea, so as to stabilize the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Korea.

In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, and the surrounding small countries are naturally yearning, and now North Korea has taken the initiative to attach it, which is also a natural thing, but it is not to provide some talking points for the idlers of the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are also some people who have spare money in their hands who have moved their minds, especially when they heard that the land price in North Korea is extremely cheap, one or two silver can buy dozens of acres of good land, if they are willing to buy mountainous land, the land price will be even cheaper, it is like giving it away for nothing, and anyone who goes to North Korea to buy land, the imperial court will provide food and lodging to send them to North Korea, and after arriving in North Korea, they will also be uniformly protected, in other words, that is, all Han people will live together, so that the safety is also guaranteed. This makes many people very excited.

There has never been a shortage of people who dare to take risks in the world, but some people can't find the opportunity to take risks in their lives, and now they are planning to attach North Korea to the interior, so that the Ming Dynasty can get a lot of land, and there are a lot of coveted specialties on this land, plus the land price is cheap, so the people in the Ming Dynasty slowly changed from the beginning of the heart, the most Lu into practical action, group after group of people began to report to the government, and then the government around the country will gather these people who are willing to go to North Korea to buy land, Batch after batch were transported to coastal health centers such as Weihaiwei and Andongwei, and then went to North Korea by boat.

In addition to the above ordinary people who were attracted to North Korea by the land, there was also a group of people who rushed to North Korea very enthusiastically, this group of people is the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, before Zhou Zhong gave Zhengde a twist, which mentioned that in order to let the Ming control the land of North Korea as soon as possible, when the speed of selling land at a low price to attract the people is too slow, it is necessary to introduce another group of people, and this group of people is those greedy Ming businessmen.

In order to attract these businessmen into North Korea, Zhou Zhong suggested to Zhengde that the mining, smelting and other industries in various parts of North Korea should be opened, and while allowing private mining and smelting, the tax on the mining and smelting industry should also be reduced, which is definitely a great good thing for the vast number of mining businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, and it is important to know that the copper, iron, gold, silver and other mineral deposits on the Korean Peninsula are also very rich, especially iron ore and coal mines, the reserves are very huge, and the profits are enough to attract countless mineral businessmen to enter North Korea.

Speaking of the mining and smelting industries in the Ming Dynasty are also allowed to be privately run, but the mines and smelters in the Ming Dynasty, the best ones are naturally the imperial court, and the second-class ones are controlled by the nobles and officials from all over the country, and ordinary mineral merchants can only rely on some barren mines to live, and they also have to bear heavy taxes, and life is miserable, so now North Korea opens up the mining and smelting industry, and also reduces the tax on mining, which naturally has an incomparably huge attraction for those mining merchants.

Mining and smelting are labor-intensive industries, with those mining businessmen into North Korea, other mining-related businessmen will naturally not lag behind, and the development of mining and smelting industry, but also to drive the development of other industries, these need Ming businessmen to North Korea to fill this gap, for a time the entire Ming coast is going to North Korea ships.
