Chapter 380: Becoming a Province
"Sir is absolutely right." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "This is the ultimate reason why the art of controlling the people prevailed in the past dynasties in the land of Kyushu!" Ninety-nine percent of the emperors in history are in charge of the aristocratic class, can they consider the lowest level of the people? They didn't think about it at all, and what they had in common with them was the nobility, not the common people. ”
That's why they banded together and kept the people in captivity. However, he was afraid that they would resist, so he used the art of controlling the people to constantly squeeze their self-esteem, self-confidence and ability to resist. ”
"There is only one Emperor Zhu in history, and he is a real peasant."
"It was unprecedentedly put forward the concept of sharing the world with the people."
"So only the Zhu Yuanzhang period is the only chance for the descendants of Yan and Huang to rise." Qin Yu said, "Because only he really wants to work for the well-being of the people, and if the people live well, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be inherited for a long time." ”
"Even to the present, it is possible."
"It is not that there is no constitutional monarchy in modern times."
"Once again, it is always the majority of ordinary people who decide the fate of the dynasty and the Han family, not a small number of nobles."
"As for the scholarly class, it is simply impossible for them to work for the well-being of the common people. They originally started by oppressing the people, and survived and grew by the people's fat and ointment. ”
"We understand it thoroughly, thank you Mr. Qin for your advice." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and arched his hand towards Qin Yu.
Now, under the guidance of Qin Yu, he has strangled the feudal aristocracy in the cradle. According to Qin Yu, if the people live happily, the dynasty will be passed on forever.
Therefore, he was full of confidence in the prospects of the Ming Dynasty.
……
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the people stepped into the right track of happiness, freedom, equality and stable life.
At this time, the overseas war was also good news.
Goryeo was officially incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and all the people of Goryeo supported it. Acknowledging that they are the descendants of Jizi, that is, the descendants of Yan and Huang, from then on, the people of Goryeo respected Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty as their king.
Zhu Di and Hu Weiyong, the kings of Yan, have occupied all the big cities of the Wa Kingdom and completely conquered the Wa Kingdom.
The shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was beheaded, and the young feudal lord was beheaded.
The nobles and commoners of the Wa Kingdom all recognized themselves as Xu Fu, and the descendants of the three thousand boys and girls he brought with him were also descendants of China. Under the leadership of several major feudal lords, the crowd petitioned one after another to join the Ming Dynasty.
"Now that the situation in the Japanese Kingdom has been decided, it is time for us to return to the DPRK." In the general's mansion, Zhu Di and Hu Weiyong were discussing secretly, among which Zhu Di, the king of Yan, said.
"His Royal Highness King Yan went on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom and returned to the dynasty victoriously, and he will be famous for thousands of years in the future, leaving a strong mark in the history books!" Hu Weiyong said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness." ”
"Accomplished a feat that has not been accomplished by all dynasties."
"It's unprecedented!"
"There will also be your glorious deeds left in the history books, after all, you are the military advisor of this expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, and your credit is not small." Zhu Di said.
"Rejoice, rejoice!" Hu Weiyong said. "Thank you, Your Highness."
He smiled, and his mood was very comfortable, even excited.
The victorious military advisors who went on an expedition to the Japanese kingdom were far more famous than the prime minister left in history. From this point of view, the emperor deprived him of the position of prime minister of Zhongshu Province and asked him to follow King Yan to fight the Wa Kingdom, and he definitely made a lot of money.
"Now that the people of the Ming Dynasty have petitioned, asking the Japanese to join the Ming Dynasty and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, should we go with the flow and accept their request?" Hu Weiyong changed the topic and asked.
After agreeing, he took advantage of the situation to establish a province in the Wa Kingdom, and then sent officials to garrison it. In that way, the Wa Kingdom will be directly a province of our Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to waste time like Goryeo. ”
"Now the Goryeo Kingdom has become the Goryeo Province of the Ming Dynasty, and with the addition of the Wa Province, there are seventeen provinces in the Ming Dynasty."
At this time, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was that there were thirteen political envoys, plus two capitals for a total of fifteen, and with the addition of Goryeo and Wa provinces, it would become seventeen.
"No." Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "We are in the Wa Kingdom, and we still have to use the method of dealing with Goryeo Province." If we leave the officials of the Ming Dynasty here, I am afraid that we will not be able to completely enclose the hearts of the people of the Japanese Kingdom. ”
"If we can't get them completely subordinated to the hearts of the people, sooner or later the Wa Kingdom will rebel."
"And do you think those feudal lords who took the lead are really attached to my Ming Dynasty? They are also for profit. As for the people who petitioned, they also petitioned under the coercion of the feudal lord. ”
"Although "Yayoi Warring States Chronicles" has given them the concept that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, these concepts are still short and have not yet taken deep roots, and concepts alone are not enough."
"And in addition to the descendants of Yan and Huang here, don't forget, there are also local aborigines, that is, the Yamato tribe."
"Therefore, the situation in the Japanese state at this time is far from being reached, and it can be managed well by sending a Ming political envoy."
"Your Highness is wise, and he is really a rare talent among the princes of the past dynasties!" Hu Weiyong said, "What is Your Highness going to do?" ”
"It's still the same method that Hua Yunlong used in Goryeo." Zhu Di said, "All the sergeants I brought over don't need to go back to Daming, and encourage them to take root here and marry the women of the Japanese Kingdom." ”
"It's a brilliant plan." Hu Weiyong said, "There are many arrogant soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and how to place them is a big problem in the eyes of the emperor. And after the founding of the country, all dynasties will face this problem. That is how to settle those soldiers who have won the war, many emperors have used the method of dismissal to give very little silver, which leads to complaints among the soldiers. ”
This led to a mutiny among the soldiers, and in the end the emperor had to suppress it with forceful means. This is not only inferior to those soldiers who have made contributions to the imperial court, but the emperor himself is also very troubled. ”
"And placing them in a foreign country to start a family is the best way to do it."
"It's just that their previous hometowns were all in the territory of Daming, and it is estimated that there are many soldiers who do not want to settle down in a foreign country. They will miss their homeland very much, miss their relatives back home, and want to return to China in every possible way. ”
"Want to go back home?" Zhu Di said, "In the future, the Wa Kingdom will be the province of the Ming Dynasty, and isn't it in the Ming State in the Wa Kingdom?" ”
"It's just a different province."
"The order goes down so that those who don't want to marry here can bring their families here. In addition, if they are willing to settle down in the country, we will give them good benefits. ”
"As for the language issue, the Chinese language is originally close to our language."
"Now, after such a fusion of people on both sides, we will soon be able to correct their language to our official language."
