It is naturally useless to beg for mercy.

These self-esteemed "foreigners" will not be forgiven by the Ming Empire even if they bend their knees.

Because the Ming Dynasty is not the late Qing Dynasty in the original history.

In the eyes of the nobles and first-class citizens of the Ming Empire, these Westerners don't even have second-class citizens in China who are worthy of their attention, at most they just sigh for this, and no one thinks how noble their knees can be.

Masuik was also thrown into a cage.

The richer the people, the more afraid of death, the governor of the Dutch East India Company, Maszk, was afraid of death, and he was horrified, and still knelt down to the Ming nobles and first-class citizens outside without any restraint and begged for mercy, and shouted in a stiff Chinese dialect:

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

At this time, the tiger walked towards Masuik.

As soon as Masuik saw the tiger, he spread his legs and ran.

And the tiger naturally chased after him, and directly threw the Dutch governor Mazik to the ground, and then began to tear it until the Dutch governor Mazik was torn to pieces.

The nobles and first-class citizens of the Ming Empire suddenly watched a big show, and a smile appeared on their faces.

……

"Lone doesn't want to die, Lone doesn't want to die! Your Majesty the Emperor, I beg you, please forgive the sins of the minister, the minister is really convicted, convicted! ”

The king of Joseon, Yi Hao, was dragged to the beast field, and he was so frightened that his legs went weak at the thought of being bitten bloody by the tiger, and he kept yelling.

"I don't want to be the king now, as long as Your Majesty is willing to spare the minister's life, the minister is willing to give up all the North Korea to Your Majesty, no, it is to return it to Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to spare the minister's life, you can let the minister do anything, be a slave! The minion ass is very white! …… Whining! ”

The king of Joseon, Yi Hao, did not ask for any discipline at all, and just shouted for his life.

It wasn't until the tiger appeared behind him that the king of Korea, Li Hao, closed his mouth, and then instinctively spread his feet and ran in the beast field, and only stopped when he ran to the beast gate, knelt directly by the door, and cried to the brocade guard outside the door: "Please, please open the door and let me escape, woo!" ”

Jin Yiwei naturally ignored him, and at this time, the tiger also came over, and suddenly bit the head of the Korean king Li Hao into his mouth.

……

At this point, the foreign nobles who angered the Ming Dynasty were all executed.

Zhu Youzhen stood up with a smile: "Tell the Criminal Department to kill that tiger, make a feast, and give it to those foreign envoys in the same hall." ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The imperial officials couldn't help but be horrified, and the other foreign envoys who were also watching the execution at the city gate at this time had complicated expressions, they wanted to refuse this tiger meat feast, but they didn't dare to go against the will of the Ming Emperor again, for fear that they would also be thrown into the beast field and bitten by the tiger.

……

Korea has been pacified, and even the king of Korea has been executed.

The Ming Dynasty was about to begin a stricter process of sinicization of North Korea, and to achieve the goal of using this as a base for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Wa Kingdom.

In addition to the mountainous areas in the north, the central and southern parts of Korea are very rich areas, which are much more important for development than Monan and Mobei, and they also have a large population and abundant labor force.

Therefore, after the cabinet established that Korea was changed to Daming Lelang Province, and Emperor Chongzhen personally issued an edict appointing Wang Fuzhi as the governor of Lelang, the merchants of the empire began to raise funds to move to Korea and began to buy land from the government on a large scale.

After all, if you want to get your own private land now, you can basically only go to Guanwai to buy, and Guannai is basically the territory of Huangzhuang, and outside Guan, there is no doubt that the land of North Korea is more popular with domestic merchant groups than the land of Mobei and Monan, not to mention that the empire has begun to prepare for the war against the Japanese State, everyone can expect that the scale of trade in North Korea will increase, so more and more merchant groups began to buy land in Korea, and the Ming court also obtained a large amount of income.

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen spread out a map, drew a circle in the territory of North Korea, and said to his son, Zhu Ciqing, the eighth prince, and other princes: "For my father, I have expanded another province for you, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, you can't let this place become the territory of our Han people, understand?" ”

"Erchen understands!" The princes replied.

"Very good, my Ming Dynasty has developed into an extremely powerful now, and it is impossible to be destroyed, but it is still possible for our royal family to be replaced by a new imperial family, at least if we want to continue to control this empire, the difficulty is still not less than before, and now the divine authority of the monarch is no longer enough to make the first-class citizens who have opened the wisdom of the people trust us, we have to use interests to bind."

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but look out the window as he spoke, every time he laid down a site now, he would call these princes to his side and tell them why he wanted to lay down these lands and why he wanted to develop them.

Although Zhu Youzhen didn't think about renewing the life of the Zhu family, at least these children and young children in front of him were his own heirs, and he didn't want his heirs to make the Ming Empire lose its aggressiveness when he inherited his empire.

"Father, why do we want to open up the wisdom of the people, so that the common people are honest and can't read and only know how to farm, it's not very good, it's like a weed, sprinkle a little rain and let it rise crazy when the time comes, anyway, he will rise again, why become thorny roses, and have to take care of them with all his heart."

At this time, the eighth prince Zhu Ciwen asked.

"The common people are not weeds, even if you don't turn on their wisdom, they are also wise, they are not born for you to slaughter, once they can't live to destroy you, even the means are more cruel, you have no love for them, people are ruthless to you, people can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, that's the truth."

"In addition, although we are royalty, we are also Han people, and we can't be selfish and ignore the interests of the whole of China because of our own interests.

The Han people of China will gradually become ignorant and numb because of this, and the Chinese civilization will also become backward, and when the time comes, they will be caught up by the people of the outside world, so that they will become superior people, and the persecuted people will be the entire Chinese people, even if you are the emperor, you will have to be humiliated.

Just like the nobles of the outer fan who were bitten by the tiger in the beast field that day, if one day, if you don't progress with this civilization, you will also be thrown into an animal farm by the emperor of the outer fan to be bitten, in their eyes, you are not the emperor, there is nothing to be pitied. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, the princes present seemed to be in deep thought, and Zhu Youzhen just looked up at the window, he hoped that these princes who would rule the empire in the future could understand that this was no longer the society of the past, and it was impossible to establish a hierarchical order by fooling the people, so they could only forge ahead together.
