Chapter 94: Dividing the Outer Frontier

"Don't you know that sequestration is the source of trouble?" Lao Zhu frowned.

"The Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty has been divided for hundreds of years, and it has been chaotic for hundreds of years, and it was not until Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms that the trouble of sealing was completely solved."

"In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing caused the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in order to eliminate the trouble of dividing the kingdoms, and Emperor Jing couldn't calm the chaos after killing the famous ministers."

"According to what you said, it is also because of the division of the feudal domain, and the old four are in trouble, and the world will not be restored until another day. We're all thinking about not dividing the kings anymore."

"Why, what are you talking about restarting the seal now?"

In the face of Lao Zhu's doubts, Zhu Su explained: "It does not refer to the ordinary division of feuds implemented by previous dynasties, but the sub-feudalization of the Zhou Dynasty."

"The division of the Zhou Dynasty?" Lao Zhu was confused. "Isn't that still a split seal? What's the difference."

"It's different." Zhu Su explained. "The division of the Zhou Dynasty at the beginning laid the foundation for future generations."

"The Son of Heaven divided the land he had laid down to the clan, so that the clan could open up a remote territory and multiply here. The feudal kingdoms spread the rituals and music of the Zhou Dynasty and resisted the surrounding barbarians, so that they had the foundation of China."

"At that time, this land of Shenzhou was not only my Huaxia clan, there were Western Barbarians in the west and Beiyu in the north. It is precisely because the feudal kingdoms of the clans have completely eliminated these calamities, and we and the Chinese people can live and work in peace and contentment on this land......

"We know that, too!" Lao Zhu waved his hand impatiently. "We were thinking about sealing your sons in four directions, didn't we just want to let the descendants of you people share the pressure for the boss, just like the clan of the Zhou Dynasty sealed the country into a Ping domain."

"But you also said that this feudal kingdom was broken in the fourth generation, and the clan vassal kings were all raised as pigs. What other use is there besides eating the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's easy to let the descendants ......of the vassal kings not eat the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Su blinked.

"Why don't you let them eat outside?"

"Eat outside?" Lao Zhu was stunned.

"Do you still have that map of the world that I gave you?" Zhu Su said.

Lao Zhu came back to his senses and immediately said in a loud voice, "Second Tiger! Two Tigers!"

The second tiger pushed the door in and was ordered to go out. After a while, he brought the map of Kunyu Wanguo, which was hanging in the East Pavilion. Different from the sketch drawn by Zhu Su casually, this map of Kunyu Wanguo was obviously redrawn by a famous artist, not only the land of the Ming Dynasty was painted with conspicuous red, but other places were also drawn with various Yan *** points, which is quite close to the world map of later generations.

The countries on it are marked with all kinds of small pieces according to the exotic historical materials that can be found in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that in order to verify the authenticity of this picture, Lao Zhu has forced the Hanlin people of the Hanlin Academy to work hard.

"Here." Zhu Su pointed to the boundary of the Wa Kingdom. "This country has been plagued since ancient times. The southeast coast of China has suffered for a long time. Why didn't you think about replacing it and establishing a vassal state?"

Lao Zhu suddenly realized. Lao Wu means to continue to expand the territory, just like the Zhou Dynasty, to divide the kings within the barbarian territory under the opening!

In this way, the burden of the princes' heirs naturally fell on the bodies of those feudal lands in the outer frontier, and it had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, my Ming culture is in the absolute leader among the surrounding countries. All countries admire me, the king of the Ming Dynasty.

….

After the accumulation of subtle changes, these places, sooner or later, will completely become the territory of our Ming people. They will no longer remember what kind of barbarian country this place was before, but will have a sense of identity with the suzerainty of the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty, and truly think that they are the descendants of Huaxia.

Just like the vassal states that the Zhou Dynasty divided in the past!

"In this way, there are three advantages: First, this place is rich in gold and silver, and I will never be short of silver."

"Second, the land of the Japanese barbarians has been seized, and there will be no more Japanese troubles in the southeast."

"Third, the other country has been heavy on agriculture for a long time, and it can be a serf to enrich other foreign frontiers of my Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, the magnates of that country have never treated the common people as human beings, and there are many small disasters here, and the people are afraid of power but not virtue. It is to let them be slaves with my Han people, and they are happier than one acre and three points of land in that island country.

"It's a godsend labor base."

Lao Zhu's brows furrowed, looking at the place of the Wa Kingdom that Zhu Su was pointing to, he did not ask the doubts in his heart, but raised his chin: "You continue."

"And the minister continued." As he spoke, Zhu Su's fingers moved to the south of the Ming Dynasty.

"This place is Annam, and it can also be a land for cultivation, and the grain production is no less than that of my Jiangnan." Zhu Su said. "And, Dad, you know. After the Xiaoice River begins, it will get colder and colder from north to south, and the land of Annan is located further south of Daming, which is the power of the Xiaoice River, and it is difficult to affect it."

"If you build a domain here, one, it can solve my worries about food shortage in the interior of the Ming Dynasty."

"Second, a port can be set up here to develop maritime transport. With this, China turned to the West to dump silk, porcelain and other things of our Ming Dynasty. Profiteering."

Lao Zhu's eyes flashed. This is the second time that Lao Wu has said that there are huge profits in shipping. He didn't ask, but continued to raise his chin. "Anything else?"

"And here......" This time, Zhu Su moved his finger to the northeast of the Ming Dynasty.

"This place is Goryeo, its Mu king has been transformed for a long time, and it is located on the border of northern Xinjiang. If a close vassal state is established here, if there is a change in Mobei......" Zhu Su drew a line connecting the southeast coast with the Goryeo region.

"Then, in an instant, you can send troops from now on and go straight behind enemy lines! It can also transport troops by sea to flank the enemy's invasion of the Great Wall. With him, he is like a guard dog guarding the gateway of my Central Plains, which can keep my Central Plains safe."

"Originally, this thing should have been done in this country, but this country has always been the first and the first to be at both ends, the nobles are lazy in pleasure, and the combat power is poor. In that case, wouldn't it be better to divide it up and make it my own vassal king?"

"And this whole desert ......" Zhu Su's finger moved again, and this time, he even encircled the entire northern grassland. Seeing that Zhu Su was getting more and more out of tune, Lao Zhu finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Old Five, you can stop for us......

"We're not those rotten people who think that except for my Central Plains, everything else is a wild place where birds don't."

"After you said it last time, we really believe that there are mountains of gold and silver in these places, and there are arable land and fertile land."

"But have you ever thought about it, these places are easy for you to draw with your fingers, but any of them are countries that have been rooted for tens or hundreds of years. The people have long been in the same mind."

"Although they are not big countries, they are not comparable to those barbarian tribes that fought separately during the Zhou Dynasty!"

"In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times and buried the entire Great Sui Foundation because he was mired in the quagmire of war and could not get out."

"I still have the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and it is like a tiger watching by the couch."

"How can you raise a sword like Emperor Yang of Sui when you are not sure?"
