Zhu Jianji glanced at the young king, and sneered in his heart, without any sympathy or pity.

In fact, as a Chinese, Zhu Jianji really has no good impression of neighboring countries.

Including North Korea.

Except for Pakistan, which was trumpeted in later generations.

There is a good saying, between countries and countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, you are strong, you can share the cake with everyone, you are the eternal big brother.

You have declined, you have become a cake, and the former little brother can come to your house to eat and drink.

Think about it, when the big brother of the Soviet Union almost used a torrent of steel to go south from the Mongolian steppe, you must know that at that time, the Soviet Union and China were in the same camp and shared the same beliefs.

That's it, the big brother of the USSR even intends to use a nuclear bomb for its own interests.

As for North Korea and Pakistan.

That's because of the interests that have to follow China's ass.

Moreover, this North Korea is not another North Korea.

The current Joseon dynasty was established on the basis of Goryeo, the Yi dynasty, including the territory of later Korea, with its capital in Seoul, the capital of later South Korea, which was renamed Seoul by South Korea in later generations.

Zhu Jianji actually has a bad impression of the current North Korea, and there are a large number of books in the National History Museum to corroborate, before deciding to send troops to North Korea this year, Zhu Jianji had already asked Wei Tietuo to transfer out the file book for reference.

I know a lot of things that make people have to send troops to North Korea!

The current and middle and late North Korea of the Ming Dynasty is indeed obedient, but like the South Korea of later generations, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in the first year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang went on a northern expedition, and the Yuan Dynasty retreated to the desert, and North Korea was still called Goryeo at that time.

Taking advantage of the battle of Yuanming and Ming, the king of Goryeo sent Yi Sunggui to lead a large army to quickly advance northward, encroaching on the area from the Yalu River to the south of the Tumen River, and continued to expand northward.

At this time, the situation in the northeast region was very complicated, one was that the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were still relatively strong, and in addition, North Korea continued to expand northward, and in the face of the rapid advance of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea began to collude with the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Yuan Dynasty to surrender Hu Badu to go deep into the northeast region to appease the Jurchen tribes, and in the second year, Hu Badu entered Duanzhou, and the Jurchen leader Jin Tongbuhua surrendered.

At this time, Li Chenggui ...... Well, Li Chenggui was not the king of Korea at this time, but just a minister with military power, Li Chenggui actually led his troops to attack the Ming army, and the two sides fought in Jizhouping.

As a result, the Ming army was defeated and retreated.

In the sixteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty sent an army to prepare to take over the jurisdiction of the former Yuan Helan Prefecture, but Goryeo still sent troops to resist, and the Ming army was still repelled by the Goryeo army because of its weak strength.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang decided to set up Tielingwei south of the Datong River, and ordered the household department to send a foreign communication letter to the king of Goryeo: "The east and west of Tieling north belonged to Kaiyuan, and its indigenous soldiers and civilians were nüzhi, Tatar, and Goryeo, and Liaodong unified it; The south of Tieling used to belong to Goryeo, and the people listened to their own country. Once the frontier is upright, each side will defend it in peace, and there will be no more invasion."

However, after receiving the foreign letter, the king of Goryeo distorted the history and quibbled: "Tieling is in the north, and the prefectures of Liwen, Gao, He, Ding, Xian, and Gongshan are all the land of their own country. ”

In the face of such an attitude of the Goryeo Kingdom, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang decided to use strong means and sent troops to build Tielingwei.

Goryeo believed that the forces of the Ming and Yuan dynasties were inextricably linked in the northeast, so they sent eight elite troops from all over the country to attack the Liaodong region, and in the same year, Li Chenggui led an army of 50,000 to cross the Yalu River and prepare to attack Liaodong.

However, the Ming Dynasty was prepared early, and Li Chenggui did not dare to attack rashly, but it also forced the Ming Dynasty to retreat to the Liaohe River in order to strengthen the defense of Liaodong.

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, Li Chenggui finally seized power by military mutiny, established the Li dynasty, and became the founding ancestor of a generation, but in view of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chenggui also had to take the initiative to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty in order to stabilize his rule, call the Ming Dynasty, and ask to change the name of the country to "Korea".

Seems sensible?

However, Li Chenggui claimed that the tribute was only to ease the tension with the Ming Dynasty, and after becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Li dynasty still pursued the policy of "northward expansion".

Under the threat of Korean force and the two-faced policy of Huairou, the area around Helan Province in the Yuan Dynasty was occupied by North Korea.

But North Korea is not yet satisfied.

In 1401, after the succession to the throne of Taizong of Joseon, Li Fangguo, he proposed to the Ming Dynasty to include Sansan, Xiulugu and other places into Korea, and Zhu Yunwen, the newly enthroned Jianwen Emperor at that time, refused the unreasonable demands of Joseon.

However, at this time, the "Battle of Jingyan" within the Ming Dynasty was entering a critical period, and Emperor Jianwen had no time to look outside, and after the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di ascended the throne, North Korea sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty, requesting that the "Ten Virgins" south of the Yalu River and the Tumen River be assigned to North Korea, and believed that "they are all their own land".

Zhu Di had just ascended the throne at that time, and he was busy with everything, and he had to deal with a scholar like Fang Xiaoru on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to send someone to find the disappeared Emperor Jianwen, so without carefully referring to the territory of Liaojin, he believed the statement of the Korean state, so he issued an edict "The land of Korea is also connected to the internal degree, and the joint is not disputed, and it is allowed to be invited today."

But later Zhu Di still reacted.

The Ming Dynasty began a large-scale march to the northeast and strengthened its control over the northeast.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Nuer Gandu Division was set up, and the entire Heilongjiang River basin was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but because the Ming Dynasty had assigned the Yalu River and the area south of the Tumen River to North Korea, North Korea could expand in this area.

In 1416~1449, the Joseon Dynasty was endeavor to the Jurchen people here, and finally set up the "Four Counties in the Northwest" in the south of the Yalu River and the "Six Towns in the Northeast" in the south bank of the Tumen River.

Since then, China's border with North Korea has remained along the Yalu and Tumen rivers.

Zhu Jianji has already consulted many of the above information.

What is the difference between North Korea in this way and South Korea in later generations, because they are originally a nation and have genes engraved in their bones, can people believe such North Korea with its apparent obedience?

Zhu Jianji didn't believe it anyway.

Moreover, as the Son of Heaven, believe it or not, whether the DPRK listens to it or not, it will not affect Zhu Jianji's decision-making on the national strategy, and everything is based on national interests.

Everything else is.

And Lu Yu, He Jian and other Jiuqing, as old ministers and people who have read history books well, even if they don't check the information, they all know these things, so when Zhu Jianji proposed to use troops against North Korea, everyone did not object.

It's just that North Korea, as a vassal state in recent years, has really listened to the words of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, which draft didn't North Korea send a few women to the Son of Heaven of Daming to play? Especially at the moment, Han Caiying, a show girl from North Korea, is not only the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, but also gave birth to a third prince to Emperor Guang'an.

And the birth of the Ming Prince, the Empress, the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven and even other festivals that should be worshipped, when did North Korea not bring generous gifts?

Well done!

In other words, licking Da Ming is in place.

There is a saying among Chinese soldiers that if they fight a war, they are afraid that the division will be unknown and unreasonable, and if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fight, they will think differently in their hearts, which will affect the morale and combat strength of the army.

Therefore, there must still be enough reasons to send troops.
