"Now that we have occupied Goryeo, it will be easy to send troops from Goryeo to attack the Wa Kingdom!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Exactly!"

"Liu Renliang back then defeated the Wa State in Goryeo."

The ministers said one after another.

"Your Majesty's occupation of Goryeo is really far-sighted!"

"The significance of Goryeo to my Daming is too great."

"The minister implores the emperor to give the minister 50,000 sailors to set out from Busan, Goryeo Province, to attack the Japanese homeland." Tang He knelt down on one knee and said, "Give the Japanese slave country a little lesson, so that they don't dare to harass my coastal Fujian every year." ”

"This move can also raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and even make the Wa State become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it, and obviously had no plans to attack the Japanese State for the time being. After all, Hua Yunlong's current foundation in Goryeo is unstable, and the Ming naval soldiers still have some experience in naval warfare.

……

"In short, the southern part of Goryeo is rich in fisheries, and there is a huge horse farm, which is equivalent to a rooster having a chicken beak and can eat to its heart's content. Its strategic location is so important that it is the equivalent of a rooster's beak, which can defeat all invading enemies. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Now, Hua Yunlong has won Goryeo, which is equivalent to giving Daming rooster a chicken with a chicken mouth!"

While speaking, he also drew the general outline of the Ming Dynasty territory map with a bamboo pole.

When the ministers looked at it, it was really very similar!

"Your Majesty's exploits can be passed down to generations to come."

"The emperor's martial arts are unparalleled in ancient and modern times."

"With the chicken mouth of Goryeo, the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant."

From then on, the rooster not only did not go hungry, but was able to defend himself against all intruding enemies. Because the rooster's beak is not only a necessary part for foraging, but also a powerful weapon of war. ”

"Whoever dares to offend, peck its eyes."

"It's ridiculous that the pedantic Confucian student who read Wang Lei at the beginning actually used the Chinese nation's modesty and benevolence as an excuse to admonish each other to prevent the emperor from sending troops to Goryeo, which is really stupid!"

Wang Lei thought that he would be famous for daring to admonish, but in fact he would be laughed at by the world. was punished by His Majesty for the Nine Clans, and he also deserved it. ”

"He's not high-spirited, he's just a mouse-eyed!"

"A pedantic scholar tried in vain to stop the emperor's great cause, who did he think he was? He thought he was right? As everyone knows, his vision is not even one ten-thousandth of the emperor. ”

"If the emperor hadn't used thunderous means at that time, Wang Lei, a pedantic person, would have misled the country."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang killed Wang Lei and another scholar's nine clans, there are still many rumors that are unfavorable to him among scholars in the world. said that the emperor acted cruelly and could not listen to the advice of the contrary.

Now, Liu Bowen and Gao Qi are civil officials who say this, which is equivalent to standing on the emperor's side.

From then on, the rumors that were unfavorable to the emperor would gradually disappear, and instead, the world's scholars would laugh at Wang Lei's eyes and almost understand national affairs. Since ancient times, there have been many scholars who have misled the country, and if you don't have a very smart vision, don't talk about state affairs in vain. However, those scholars are very self-righteous and feel that their vision is higher than Zhu Yuanzhang.

They only studied for a few days, studying behind closed doors, and never even went out of the door, while Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor from a beggar, and once fought in the north and south of the Central Plains.

How do you compare?

……

"Now, it is a foregone conclusion that Goryeo will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But the thinking and culture of the Goryeo people are very backward, they do not respect the king, and they do not learn the way of the sage." The next thing we have to do is to send a large number of Confucian scholars over and teach them to respect the king and learn the way of the sages. ”

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty needed to immediately send a large number of Confucian scholars to teach them the way of the sages. And told them that Goryeo is the descendant of Jizi, and Jizi is the son of King Shangwen, and Goryeo and the Central Plains are originally a family, and everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, regardless of you and me. The officials of the Ming Dynasty used to manage them, and they were their own people who managed their own people, and in the future, the Ming and Goryeo prospered together. ”

"The Confucian saints are ours and theirs at the same time, and they should abide by the Confucian saints' ideas of loyalty and patriotism. The Dragon Boat Festival is ours and theirs, and so is Tai Chi Bagua...... In short, let them feel the pride of being a descendant of Yan and Huang. ”

Need Confucian scholars to educate them in the past? The ministers were speechless: the Ming Dynasty was already implementing cultural changes, and the emerging culture focused on individual open-mindedness, which was gradually spreading the influence of Confucianism.

And now the emperor actually wants to send Confucian students to Goryeo to teach Confucianism to the Goryeo people.

"Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Gao Qi, you are the most famous Confucian in the Ming Dynasty today, which one do you think you should send to Goryeo Province?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Which of you personally brought a team of Confucian scholars over, or recommended one to us?" ”

Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Liu Bowen glanced at each other, but they didn't answer. They are still a little obsessed with the Central Plains, and they don't want to travel thousands of miles to Goryeo Province. They are all very old, and they don't have the aggressiveness of young people.

Liu Bowen just wants to go back to Qingtian to retire now.

And Goryeo is too far away, and most of the people do not respect the king. If he took Confucianism with him, there would be a lot to do, and it would be tiring. It's like opening up a new cultural battlefield and fighting a culture war.

Even personal life may be threatened.

After all, the Koreans are not from the Central Plains, and there must be many extremists among them.

Although they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, this concept is not too deep.

And Song Lian and Gao Qi also have the same idea.

"The minister recommends one for His Majesty." Liu Bowen said, "Ma Junze, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, can take on this position. ”

"That's what the old minister meant." Song Lian said, "Ma Sheng is very knowledgeable, has a particularly thorough understanding of Confucianism, and has a deep attainment in Confucianism. And he is only in his twenties this year, and he is in the prime of life and full of energy. happened to go to Goryeo Province to make contributions to His Majesty. ”

"The minister also recommends this person." Gao Qi said, "Ma Jun is still very alert, and his ability is enough to do it." ”

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let Ma Jun send two thousand Confucian students over, and of these two thousand Confucian students, at least two hundred must be selected from the Hanlin Academy, and they must have a solid foundation in Confucianism." The rest of the entourage, at least above the fame of Xiucai, will not lose the face of Daming after they go. ”

"You want to send two hundred people from the Hanlin Academy?" Gao Qi was depressed for a moment, "Your Majesty, if you transfer so many people from the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy is empty." And it is necessary to transfer away 1,08 talents, where are there so many talents in Daming? ”
