Chapter 19 The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty
King Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, it's a word."
Yan Wang is actually not too satisfied with this plan. But what about being satisfied, and what about being dissatisfied? The situation is stronger than people, and the strength of generals is the most important. The difference in strength between the two sides is here, and He Xi has already saved face for him and left steps. He could only accept it.
However, at this moment, King Yan was greatly stimulated.
The relationship between Yanwang and Beijing has been changing. But King Yan has the initiative most of the time. However, now he has been forced to sign the alliance under the city.
With a rigid character like King Yan, it is strange to be satisfied.
King Yan made up his mind, if he goes back this time, he will definitely make a big deal, and when he comes to Nanjing again in the future, it will never be like this.
He Xi saw that King Yan agreed, and he was also relieved in his heart.
The prince's lineage is Zhu Xiongying. The king of Qin is in the lineage, and now he is only a county king. The King of Jin was also won by Zhu Yunwen, and now he is looking for a way in Nanjing.
King Yan is the elder of the clan. The attitude of King Yan was able to influence the opinions of many vassal kings.
After King Yan took it, it was much easier to persuade other vassal kings.
In the next time, He Xi met the king of Nanyang again, the king of Zhou, the king of Chu, and the king of Qi. respectively in Java, Old Port, Sulu. And the situation of the King of Shu, needless to say. And the next King of Tan died early, King Zhao died, and King Lu himself played himself to death.
There is a knot between King Tan and Zhu Yuanzhang. He is also a concubine in the palace, and his mother is Chen Youliang's concubine, and there are many rumors. said that he was Chen Youliang's widow. In short, his childhood was not a happy one. Even if he is a prince.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang paid more attention to him, it was not much better.
Historically, he died because Hu Weiyong's case implicated him. He didn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang could kill his son, even if he really made any mistakes, as a prince, as long as he could get to the front of the palace, there would be a turnaround many times.
But that's it.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally looked down on him.
And in this era, he lived a few more years, and after the death of the crown prince, there were obvious cracks in the Ming royal family, and he also died of fear.
King Lu was originally a ridiculous prince.
After Zhu Yuanzhang knew the history, he strengthened his discipline. But the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and if you think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's energy is very limited. His so-called strengthening of discipline is not to appoint a capable official. But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang in history also valued the care of his heirs. As a result, King Lu was still seeking the art of immortality, and he should have poisoned himself with pills.
In this time and space, King Lu's death is not much worse, mainly in Goryeo, where he plays more seriously.
First, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Historically, King Lu was in Shandong, and the local gentry in Shandong were able to find a way to communicate with the imperial court. So. King Lu is still afraid of doing things. And in Goryeo. The so-called upper echelons of Goryeo were swept away by He Xi, and there was no one who could hand over the relationship to the Jingshi, and the people who could hand the relationship to the Jingshi would not offend the prince for a little trivial matter that left the people.
After all, King Lu is a Goryeo. The Koreans had just been conquered, and many people didn't care too much.
Second, the people of Goryeo are more docile than the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the nobles of Goryeo play more than the nobles of the Ming Dynasty who have just established the country.
You must know that when she was in the Yuan court, Goryeo women always had a place in the Yuan court. And the eighteen-day demon dance of the Yuan court. It was destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Because the Yuan Lord is addicted to these things, it is a sign of the destruction of the country. But there are still in Goryeo.
King Lu in history was just playing the elixir. And the king of Lu in this era, the double cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, from Huanxi Zen, Ming Concubine Tiannu to Taoist Replenishment Ding Furnace, plus various so-called elixirs, what can happen is a strange thing.
So King Lu died earlier than in history.
did have a son, but Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and angry, and he got rid of the country.
Next up are the Four Kings of the East
。
King Xiang, King Su. King of Liao. King Qing. These four princes occupy Japan's Kanto, Kansai, Shikoku, and Kyushu respectively. Solid foundations. During the Civil War, they also dealt a ruthless blow to the remnants of Japan.
Most of the Japanese also threw themselves into the Four Kings after repeated tossing.
Of course, the Four Kings also made some compromises in their rule. For example, the rights and interests of some Japanese nobles were recognized. These nobles knew very well that they could not fight against the Ming Dynasty. Even if the four kings were defeated, it would be impossible to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
For many Japanese aristocrats, Japan is not important, what matters is whether they are nobles or not.
That's all that matters.
As long as they can recognize their rights and interests and let them continue to be nobles, it doesn't matter if the emperor is at the head, it is Genji, and it is the Ming Imperial Family.
And next, there is King Ning, King Min, King Gu, and King Han. King Shen, King An, King Tang.
In fact, these princes are only arranged in order. The year of their birth is not the same as in history. After all, history has changed. He Xi and Zhu Yuanzhang don't know how many times they talked at night, which naturally affected Zhu Yuanzhang to go to the harem to give birth to children.
The eldest of these is eighteen years old. The youngest is about the same age as He Yuansi.
This is also the reason why it has not been sealed.
Without him, the vassal kingdom is not the same as the vassal kingdom. Originally, the Ming vassal state was actually to establish another system on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the requirements for the vassal king were not high. The requirements are relatively high, and those are a few Saikings.
But that's no longer the case. These vassal kings are all going out.
It's going overseas. It's to really lead the troops to fight.
This is no small matter.
One can't get himself dead, not to mention. The army will be wiped out below, which is really not a beautiful thing. Therefore, these feudal kings postponed the matter of the feudal domain. After all, when Zhu Yuanzhang died, the oldest was only around eighteen years old.
I have been raised in Nanjing.
And Zhu Yunwen doesn't really care much about the matter of sealing the vassal king. Or even against.
After all, China's historical experience since ancient times is that there have been too many vassal kings who rebelled. became an enemy of the central power. Not to mention, as soon as he ascended the throne, it was Beijing, and King Jingjiang rebelled.
Zhu Yunwen naturally didn't say anything about these vassal kings.
He even sent someone to hint to them that it was best to choose to stay in the capital division and demote him to the second rank of the lord.
Therefore, the fiefdoms of these feudal kings have not yet been resolved.
In addition to this, there is also a King of Jingjiang. Yes, the king of Jingjiang was exiled to Nanyang and was already dead. But the Jingjiang king's lineage was not interrupted. King Jingjiang still has a son.
This also became a troublesome thing.
The dead King of Jingjiang still doesn't have a nickname, but he doesn't know how to decide. Wang Shizi of Jingjiang insisted that he would uphold justice for the world and be a pioneer for Beijing.
It's just for the sake of Beijing's national righteousness, and I don't care about it.
If He Xi was not a party to this war, he would probably believe it. After all, King Jingjiang's war at sea gave Nanjing a powerful pull.
Judging from the later review, it is obvious that Nanjing missed the best opportunity before the war.
However, what is King Jingjiang for, others don't know, can He Xi not know? King Jingjiang wants to seize the throne.
It's just that when the prince of Jingjiang said this, He Xi really didn't know whether to refute it for a while. To refute or not. To what extent to refute.
But Zhu Xiongying has made it clear that he wants to admit this matter.
Without him, after Zhu Xiongying entered Nanjing, one thing was his heart disease, that is, how to maintain his legitimacy. There are two explanations for the legitimacy of the imperial court today.
One is naturally a traditional family world, and Zhu Xiongying is Zhu Yuanzhang's heir. So there should be a world.
This kind of legitimacy, He Xi doesn't like it. But there is no objection either. After all, after so many years, a lot of cognition has gone deep into the bone marrow. Forcibly reversing it is not a good thing. Again
See a lot of questions.
Even in the Republic of China, when Zhang Zuolin was killed, the Northeast Army regarded Zhang Xueliang as a natural leader. Chang Kaishen also wants to pass on the Jiangshan Sheji to future generations.
It can be seen how deeply rooted this kind of thinking is in the hearts of the people.
The other kind is naturally the democracy that He Xi wants to promote, although it has roots in ancient Chinese classics, for example, the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world.
That's the case.
But in the end, the time is too short, so He Xi desperately publicized and implemented it in terms of policy and system. But it's still too superficial.
Therefore, the former is very important to Zhu Xiongying.
The prince of Jingjiang just wanted a fief. He packaged the King of Jingjiang as a rebel in response to Beijing. The biggest benefit is not that King Jingjiang, but that it has wrapped a coat of justice for Beijing's behavior at the beginning.
This is very good for Zhu Xiongying. In comparison, King Jingjiang's fiefdom is nothing.
In addition to this, the crown prince had five children. Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuntong, Zhu Yunxi. Joo Yoon-hee.
Among them, Zhu Yuntong is Zhu Xiongying's half-brother, and in addition to being well settled, the other two are from the Lu family. But Zhu Xiongying, as the eldest brother, can't be too careful.
Not to mention, Zhu Xiongying is now just going to be lenient and want to win over the clan, so he treats these few well.
So, He Xi had to deal with the vassal king. The King of Shu doesn't have to worry about it. It's already arranged.
The rest are composed of the prince of Qin, the prince of Jin, and the prince of Lu. Although they have all been removed from the country. But after all, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's own grandson, and Zhu Xiongying has just ascended the throne, so he naturally has to be lenient. Give them back to the country.
He Xi gave the idea, that is, to seal all three of them to southern Xinjiang. Go to the Disgusting Yan King.
Anyway, these three princes, Zhu Xiongying himself doesn't like them too much.
