Chapter 392: The Treaty of Kaijing
In the end, the result of the negotiations, in addition to the land, the Ming Dynasty made a few concessions, and decided to go from the north of Haizhou Bay to Pingshan on the west bank of the Licheng River, and then to the north of the city, Xipu, Sanfangxia to Cishanli, all of which were owned by the Ming Dynasty, and its southern part was the territory of Korea, and Jeju Island and Tsushima Island were naturally unceremoniously taken into the pocket by the Ming Dynasty.
After more than a year of war, the northern part of Korea can be said to be depopulated, and Zhu Qizhen naturally continued his military reform, by the way, sending batch after batch of veterans and their families who were willing to obey the arrangement to these areas, so as to enrich the proportion of the Han people in these areas.
These original guards have degenerated from soldiers to farmers who can only face the loess with their backs to the sky, and they cannot go to the battlefield, but their fields belong to the state, and they are often exploited by the thousands of households in those guards, making it difficult for many military households to make a living.
And now, Zhu Qizhen has given them a new opportunity, not only to get rid of the household registration of the military household, but also to obtain their own land, although they are uprooted, but the family can live in peace and stability, which is something that they never dared to think of in the past. Naturally, he happily took his family away.
It is precisely because of this reason that in just five years, the Ming Dynasty has migrated nearly 130,000 households and nearly one million people to these areas.
It's just that with the supervision of Zhu Qizhen, the famous emperor, and the Jinyi Guard led by Sun Jizong, the migration work has never encountered any major changes and twists and turns.
In the past few years, under the instructions of Zhu Qizhen, Nanjing's Bao Shipyard and the newly built Liaodong Shipyard have built all kinds of new ships, in addition to the military, but also built a lot of civilian ships, the Ming Dynasty's civil maritime trade is very developed, and these newly built large ships are sought after by those maritime merchants with huge family capital.
After all, in the past. After a period of forbidden sea. In the past, it was possible to buy some obsolete old ships from the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, but the less time, the less eliminated ones.
And most of those old ships have such and such faults and defects, and now, they have begun to build new ships, and this time. Daming's national shipyard also accepts business.
Relying on the strength and ability of the craftsmen who used to build huge ships like Zheng He's treasure ships in the past, the ships they built were warmly welcomed and supported by maritime merchants.
If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen's order, those maritime merchants would even be willing to participate in these shipyards, just hoping to obtain the ocean-going giant ships with the highest priority qualifications and the fastest speed.
--------------------
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to disrupt his plan at the beginning, at least now, the strength of the Ming Dynasty's sea fleet. His needs and goals were still not met. What he needed was a large fleet, a fleet that could deter the many island nations around the Ming Dynasty at any time.
He can defeat the enemy thousands of miles away, and can send thousands of troops to where he needs to arrive, and sweep away all enemies who go against the will of the Ming Empire. In a word, Zhu Qizhen needs a fleet of strategic significance, a terrifying force that can subdue the world.
Pirates, what is pirates, piracy is a fairly old criminal industry. There have been pirates since there have been ships sailing. However, first of all, it depends on the attitude of your country, whether it is a strong suppression and sweep, or if you don't offend me, I don't bother to pay attention to you, and as a result, I connive at its development and growth.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen will not be stupid, and it is precisely by fighting maritime crimes. And since the early years of orthodoxy, there has been no Ming fleet to go to the South and Western Oceans, on the grounds of declaring the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and trying to rebuild the fleet. …,
The first action of the Great Ming Naval Division was to occupy Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, Jeju Island is not only beautiful scenery, but also an excellent place to raise horses, and Tsushima Island is a place of pirates in the past, and it is also a dangerous place like Jeju Island.
Although many ministers did not know how important these two islands were to the control of sea power, at least everyone would applaud the victory of the Ming fleet.
In the five years from the second year of Shuntian to the sixth year of Shuntian, the Ming Dynasty built ships on a large scale, and it happened that the ports of Tianjin and the Jiaodong Peninsula became the busiest seaports in recent years, because the cost and speed of shipping were far more convenient than the migration by land.
It takes only a few days to get from the port of Tianjin to the port of Dalian, and if you move by land, it will take at least three to five months. Since it can shorten the time and greatly reduce the cost of migration, naturally, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not agree with Zhu Qizhen's idea of insisting on building ships from the beginning, but changed to a wise and far-sighted one.
The busyness of shipping and a large number of immigrants also made the maritime merchants in Jiangnan get a lot of trade opportunities, and a large number of ships loaded with goods unique to Jiangnan and some daily necessities went to the Liaodong area to trade with those immigrants who had just settled.
After all, although the state provides the most basic guarantee, there are many things that they still need to purchase by themselves, which naturally gives the merchants of the Ming Dynasty an excellent opportunity.
Of course, any maritime merchant who dares to extort these immigrants at sky-high prices will not only be fined and confiscated goods, but will even lose the qualification to enter the Liaodong region for commercial and trade activities in a short period of time.
Under such circumstances, some businessmen who originally went to Liaodong with the idea of profiteering could only touch their noses and admit it. However, even so, it still made them a lot of money.
And all this is just the beginning, when ten or twenty years later, those maritime merchants who have become rich and rival the country when they stopped, looking back, only to find that they have gone too far, so far that they could not imagine that the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty would extend so far, such a vast ocean, and would eventually be conquered by the people and army of the Ming Dynasty.
And just after the Korean monarch and ministers succumbed to the military might of the Ming Dynasty and agreed to the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty, soon this agreement, which was later called the "Kaijing Treaty", was clearly announced to the world by the Ming Dynasty and North Korea at the same time, and the DPRK was very honest in accordance with the conditions of the Kaijing Treaty.
Less than a month after the signing of this treaty, Yuan Bin, who had completed the mission to Korea, received a new order from Zhu Qizhen, and soon left the Imjin River along the waterway, took the warship sent by Nacao Jixiang on Najianghua Island, and headed straight for Tsushima Island......
And this time has also reversed the history of an island country and moved towards another truth......

ps: The update has arrived, the next step, clean up another country, hehe, it is an island country that should sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, I wish it will sink soon.
