These days.

Public opinion against Confucianism is still high.

After Zhang Juzheng asked to meet Guo Tianyi, he only vaguely expressed that he wanted to find problems from himself.

The Confucian Confucians were dumbfounded.

What the hell should I do?

Confucianism has changed several times.

Now, they are also unpredictable and even more hesitant about the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

Speaking of which, this is a social contradiction.

It wasn't stimulated before, it just didn't have an introduction.

It just so happened that this imperial examination became the introduction.

Forbidden City, the Imperial Study.

"How to transfer social contradictions?"

Guo Tianyi looked at the excerpts of many ministers' books and fell into deep thought.

The beating of Confucianism, I feel that it is almost over.

If this continues, many vicious incidents may evolve.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Even today's Confucian students will walk on thin ice in the future.

Speaking of which, if you want to transfer social contradictions, the fastest way is to fight.

Divert domestic contradictions.

Later generations of politicians were more than happy to play this game.

For example, in the Great Celestial Empire, when the contradictions are sharp sometimes, a public figure will be sacrificed.

Sometimes, it will be revealed that a corrupt official will come out.

And the beautiful country will play such a routine.

When domestic contradictions are acute, wars are waged.

War diverts all contradictions.

But where to wage war now?

A war with the state of Wu in the north?

No, the time is not right.

The current Daebong is just getting on the right track, and it is time to urgently accumulate strength.

The cavalry of the State of Wu was not bad, and there were a terrible number of them.

In one day, the cavalry of Wu could run across all the borders of the north, and now the war Dafeng could not support such a protracted war.

The Nanyi Kingdoms?

Not even more.

To put it bluntly, the Nanyi countries are all subordinate to Dafeng, and they trade with Dafeng, so they can open up the road to the cow dung country.

It is also not suitable to use troops against the Nanyi countries.

"Hmm..."

"I see."

Guo Tianyi got up and looked at the map placed in the imperial study, and fixed his eyes on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Outside Liaodong Road, there is Liaodong Half Road.

This is a country similar to the stick country of ancient China.

Today's Liaodong Peninsula has a complicated political situation, and it is a good place to use soldiers.

Moreover, there are remnants of the previous dynasty here!

In the year of Dafeng Yuande, there were still many remnants of the previous dynasty who were active in the south.

Among them, Yunchuan Road and Liaodong Road are the base camps of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Dafeng established the state after occupying most of the land in the Central Plains.

The remnants of the Yuncheon Province area were eliminated in the third year of Yuandeok.

The remnants of Liaodong Province are the territory of the former Liaodong Marquis.

In the autumn of the third year of Yuande, the Hou of Liaodong died after being defeated.

His son Zhou Yongcheng led the remnants of more than 100,000 troops to retreat to the eastern part of Liaodong and entered the territory of Goguryeo.

Li Zhen, the king of Goguryeo, originally had a close relationship with the Zhou clan of the Marquis of Liaodong, so he accepted Zhou Yongcheng.

Zhou Yongcheng was also named the general of Goguryeo by the king of Goguryeo.

Daebong also used troops against Goguryeo at that time, but it was unsuccessful.

In the tenth year of Yuande, Zhou Yongcheng usurped the throne and proclaimed himself king.

Goguryeo King Li Zhen was forced to flee Seoul and survive in the southern part of Liaodong Semi-Dao.

Since then, the eastern part of Liaodong has become a situation where the king of Zhou and the king of Goguryeo have carved up.

The Goguryeo people originally had a deep relationship with the Han people, and they were similar to the Han people in terms of writing and customs.

Therefore, the Goguryeo people in the northern part of Liaodong did not oppose Zhou Yongcheng's rule.

Since then, the tug-of-war in the eastern part of the province has begun.

However, after the king of Goguryeo occupied the south, where was Zhou Yongcheng's opponent in the north?

The king of Goguryeo also made overtures to Daebong for a time, and he was also approved by Daebong.

Originally, Goguryeo also helped Zhou Yongcheng against the Han army, but now he can only ask the Han for help.

After discussion, the court at that time was in favor of supporting the Goguryeo king Yi Jin.

After all, this place in the middle of Liaodong is only good for Dafeng, and there is no harm in letting them go into chaos.

Zhou Yongcheng was afraid that Dafeng would intervene, so he stopped the tug-of-war.

A brief peace came.

From the 10th year of Yuande to the present, the king of Goguryeo has sent envoys to pay tribute to Daebong every year.

And the day of tribute is fast approaching this year.

"Destroying the remnants of the previous dynasty, Zhou Yongcheng, is one thing, occupying the eastern part of Liaodong and turning this place into a vassal country is true..."

Guo Tianyi thought for a moment and muttered to himself.

At the beginning, Dafeng did not succeed in using troops, and even suffered considerable losses, because Dafeng's naval army was underdeveloped.

However, the Jingzhou Mansion in Dafeng is home to the largest shipyard in the country.

King Jin has been developing the shipbuilding industry all these years.

During the rebellion of the vassal kings, if they did not have powerful ships, they would not have been able to march up the river overnight.

The shipyards in Jingzhou can produce advanced ships, enough to accommodate an army of about a thousand people.

There are more such ships, and if you march on both land and water, the chance of victory will be much greater.

Now, the quality of Dafeng's army is to deal with Zhou Yongcheng in the middle of Liaodong, and the victory rate is more than seventy percent.

It's just that...

To start a war, you have to be famous, right?

"What should I do...?"

Guo Tianyi thought about it and immediately had an idea.

"Cao Dechun, pass on Cai Xuan."

"No!"

After a while, Cai Xuan came to the imperial study.

"Minister Cai Xuan see Your Majesty."

Before Cai Xuan knelt on the ground, Guo Tianyi said loudly, "Cai Xuan, I order you to send some shrewd Jinyi guards into the Liaodong Bandao to inquire about the customs and customs of the Liaodong Bandao, including Zhou Yongcheng and the army under the command of the King of Goguryeo..."

Hearing this, Cai Xuan was shocked, "Your Majesty, but you want to use troops against the Liaodong Peninsula?" ”

Liaodong is halfway, but thousands of miles away?

The mountains and roads are far away, the roads are rugged, and there are many waterways, so Dafeng did not achieve good results in the use of troops on the Liaodong Peninsula in those years.

But this is no longer the case.

The current Dafeng, under the governance of Guo Tianyi, is not what it used to be.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are abundant.

Dealing with the Korean Peninsula, trivial.

Although Cai Xuan was surprised, he didn't have the slightest idea that Da Feng would use soldiers.

Since he followed Guo Tianyi to this day, he has never seen Guo Tianyi lose a battle.

"Yes."

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles."

"I want to know the most detailed information about the eastern part of Liaodong."

"In addition, I remember that the shipyard of King Jin in Jingzhou Mansion has now been taken over by the Governor's Mansion, who is in charge?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the person in charge of the Jingzhou Mansion Shipyard is still Liu Sheng, the director of the former Jin Dynasty, who has no black material, so he was still in charge of the shipyard at that time..."

"Oh?" Guo Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "Then start acting immediately, and send someone to Jingzhou Mansion to call Liu Sheng, I have to arrange some things." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Cai Xuan's face was flushed, he knew that the opportunity to make meritorious service had come.

Dafeng has a clear stipulation that no marquis shall be awarded unless he has military merits.

At the beginning, the world was divided because there were many allies when fighting the world.

There were many vassal kings and princes who were sealed.

But now, the vassal kings are gone.

The only remaining princes, because of the relationship between the Tui En Order, did not become a climate.

However, this does not affect Cai Xuan's ambition in this regard.

As long as Jinyiwei continues to make meritorious contributions, he will also have a day of being a marquis.

At that time, it was the real glory of the ancestors.
