Chapter 133: It's so significant
"Immediately follow the king and queen out of the city to greet General Hua!" King Gongchou was overjoyed when he heard this, threw away the paintbrush in his hand, and said. Hearing that the Ming army was here to support him, a total of 100,000 people, he immediately had the confidence, "Parade Li Chenggui and his son through the streets, announce their major crimes of treason and other crimes, a total of ten major crimes, and then escort them to the execution ground Ling Chi to be executed!" ”
All Li Chenggui's crimes, he had already prepared.
"In addition, all the Li clans in the whole state will be arrested, their homes will be raided, and their clans will be exterminated, and no men, women, old and young will be left!"
King Gongchou couldn't wait to behead Li Chenggui's father and son and destroy the Li family in Quanzhou, which shows how deep his resentment against Li Chenggui is. It should be that he was bullied by Li Chenggui, a powerful minister, before, and he has always held a grudge.
Wang Yuan and Hua Yunlong met and talked happily, and the two sides concluded a friendly covenant. Later, Wang Yuan gave Hua Yunlong countless gold and silver, and hundreds of Goryeo beauties for his enjoyment.
Hua Yunlong selected the two most beautiful of them, both of whom were illustrious and outstanding. Together with a handwritten note, it was brought back to heaven and given to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
When he raised righteousness, Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons and nephews were very filial to him.
not only sent money and food, but also often sent beauties to him.
……
Ying Tianfu.
Palace.
Seeing the two Goryeo beauties sent by Hua Yunlong, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: "The reason why Hua Yunlong was able to succeed in this battle is that Qin Yu's strategy of giving benefits to the people if he wins the battle has played a vital role. Not only did it greatly reduce the casualties of the Ming army, but also made the conquest of Goryeo unexpectedly smooth. These two Goryeo beauties, do you want to send him a past? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's better to send it." Erhu smiled, "Hongyan has been a disaster since ancient times, so don't let these disasters tarnish Mr. Qin's noble character." ”
"Makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let us help him bear this kind of disaster." But he has such a great achievement, if he doesn't reward him with something, we are always a little unhappy. ”
"Mr. Qin is originally a person who likes rural life, and it is not good to reward too much." Erhu said, "Since he chose to live in seclusion in Lujia Village, it proves that he doesn't love any of the worldly money, beauty and power." ”
"Otherwise, with his talent, he can have whatever he wants."
"Mr. Qin is like a green lotus that comes out of the mud and is not stained, noble! To reward too much is to pour dirty water and sludge on him. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Besides, he already has Princess Ningguo and Xu Miaojin by his side, so I guess he is not interested." ”
"Since ancient times, a colt cannot have three wives and four concubines, and if he is interested, he can make an exception in the future."
The next day, on the temple of Fengtian.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, standing neatly and solemnly.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out the huge world map again, and drew the national border of the Ming Dynasty on the edge of the Goryeo Peninsula in front of the civil and military officials, and painted the same color with paint.
"Your Majesty, what are you ......?" asked Li Shanchang.
"We didn't get a good night's sleep last night." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let me tell you a great news, the Goryeo Dynasty has become the territory of my Ming Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, a piece of land as big as Goryeo, obviously belongs to King Gongchou, how did it become the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Bowen asked. I knew the reason, but I still asked.
Sometimes the emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs are equivalent to talking about the teasing and praise in cross talk.
This is especially true whenever the emperor has some proud achievements and wants to show off, a minister who is liked by the emperor is often a good favor. Being able to say something in time allows the emperor to be able to read the next words very comfortably.
"According to the military report from Hua Yunlong." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "He has captured Li Chenggui's father and son and Li Sui alive, and handed them over to King Gongchou, who has already beheaded the two of them." ”
"King Gongchou is cowardly, and he has no troops, and he is willing to let Huayunlong garrison, it can be said that Goryeo is actually the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's great!" Li Shanchang took the lead in saying.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
The ministers shouted one after another, applauding excitedly and loudly, and for a while the court was full of laughter and laughter.
"The Emperor Shengming!"
"The emperor's martial arts can be described as the first in the ages"
"It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is the first in the ages." Gao Qidao, "In addition to Hu Yuan, a foreign court, which dynasty in history has really occupied Goryeo?" ”
"Hu Yuan's court, it doesn't count."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is powerful, but he only expelled the Xiongnu and did not occupy much land. And His Majesty occupied such a large territory of Goryeo in one fell swoop, close to 220,000 square kilometers! ”
"This is simply a great achievement, a thousand years of hegemony!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
The ministers knelt down together, and after shouting three times long live, they stood up and continued: "That King Gongchou is Song Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and his calligraphy and painting are a must, and governing the country is not good. ”
"Li Chenggui and Li Sui are dead, Wang Yuan agreed to Huayunlong's garrison, and Goryeo is indeed my Ming territory. As for nominally, it's just that the time has not yet come. ”
"Goryeo has no troops, and the garrison of the Ming Dynasty is the only combat force of Goryeo."
Hearing that the ministers were praising themselves, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
When the emperors of the past dynasties started wars, they were most afraid of losing the first foreign war, and once they failed, the emperor's prestige would drop by more than half. If you want to start a war in the future, you will be strongly prevented by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
And now, Hua Yunlong earned him a breath and succeeded in the first battle.
As a result, his personal prestige is even more prosperous, and if he wants to start a war in the future, he will not encounter too much resistance, and the ministers cannot stand up and stop it under the pretext of being afraid that they will not win.
"Do you know what is the significance of including Goryeo in the territory of the Ming Dynasty to our Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"First of all, after occupying Goryeo, the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty will be famous at home and abroad, so that the surrounding barbarian tribes and nomadic tribes will no longer dare to easily invade the borders of my Ming Dynasty." Hu Weiyong said.
"Secondly, Goryeo's Li Chenggui Department has been harassing me Liaoyang, and now Hua Yunlong has captured and killed Li Chenggui, and the border troubles in Liaoyang have been completely solved, and it has truly been done once and for all." Gao Qidao.
"Not bad, not bad."
"The capture of Goryeo means too much." The ministers chimed in.
"Actually, you didn't say anything." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the southern part of Goryeo on the map with a bamboo pole, "As drawn on the map, the southern part of Goryeo is really not a bitter cold place. ”
According to Hua Yunlong's report, the northern part of Goryeo is like a cold winter, bitter cold and sparsely populated, and it is indeed a barren land. However, its southern part is as warm as spring, suitable for growing rice, and its land is as fertile as that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
"In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the imperial court has always levied taxes, and an important place for producing grain is the granary of the world. Suhu is ripe, and the world is full. The southern part of Goryeo is also the granary of Goryeo. ”
"Now that Goryeo has been included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty has two granaries!"
The south of Goryeo is so rich! When the ministers heard this, their eyes widened. If the Central Plains dynasties had known that this was the case in southern Goryeo, they would have occupied it long ago.
"Your Majesty, if the south of Goryeo is really so rich, it will be a great joy!" Liu Bowen said.
"Yes, it is my great luck to occupy Goryeo!" Li Shan said.
"The emperors of the past dynasties didn't see this, and now only I, the Ming Emperor, have seen it! The emperor's foresight surpasses that of all emperors! ”
In fact, everyone knew that the map was given by Qin Yu, but they would definitely only tout Zhu Yuanzhang, not Qin Yu. If Qin Yu is touted, then it will invisibly weaken the emperor's merits and weaken the emperor's greatness.
No one would do such a thing, Qin Yu was just a cloth cloth, and it didn't do him any good to praise him.
So they didn't mention Qin Yu, and whoever mentioned it at this time would be a big disaster.
"The emperor is far-sighted, beyond the reach of his ministers."
"The ministers were so blind that they actually wanted to oppose His Majesty's occupation of Goryeo, which is really stupid, and the ministers are ashamed."
The ministers said one after another.
"I'm not done yet." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In addition to the wealth of the south, Goryeo also has a vast coastline. The fishing industry by the sea is very well developed, and the fishermen live and work in peace. ”
In addition, Hua Yunlong also discovered a natural horse farm. That horse farm used to be the place where Yuan Ting raised horses. The raised war horses are fat and strong, and they are extremely enduring. Horses are important strategic materials, with that horse farm, my Ming cavalry, in the future, will not be worse than the Huns, Tatar cavalry. ”
"I occupied the horse farm, and that place in the future is the main supply location of my Ming military horses."
"Good!" Li Wenzhong, who belonged to the military general, applauded loudly.
"Having occupied a strategic location, my Ming army's strength will be even stronger."
"God bless me."
"With the rich land of Goryeo and the horse farm as a base for domesticating war horses, there is no need to worry about the northern Jurchens and Tatar tribes invading the border in the future. In the future, if there is a war in the northeast, we can send troops from Goryeo Province, and the road is very close. Instead of sending troops from the Central Plains, laboring thousands of miles away. ”
"The terrain in the north of Goryeo Province is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the south is rich. It is definitely the most important strategic place to deal with the barbarian nomadic tribes in the Northeast, and it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended. ”
"Goryeo Province is equivalent to another base of the Ming Dynasty."
……
"In addition, there is a more important point." Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Goryeo is very close to the Japanese mainland! ”
"The Japanese slave country often harassed the coastal generation of my Ming Dynasty, and the coastal residents were unbearable. I wanted to attack the Japanese mainland, but the sea area was too big, and the fleet was hit by strong winds and waves before it reached the Japanese country. ”
"As a result, when the Japanese invaded us, they were always unscrupulous, because they could only fight us, and we couldn't hit them, and they were already invincible before they even started fighting."
