Chapter 461: Zhu Yuanzhang, the Master of Praise
Considering the productivity of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the construction of the Ming Dynasty's clan system is good.
But that's no longer the case.
After industrialization, the Ming Dynasty has a fundamental difference in strength.
Zhu Gaochi felt that the United States would do well in later generations.
Shouldn't a vassal state become a product of blood transfusion to the suzerain?
When the U.S. needs a blood transfusion, or the U.S. thinks that the vassal power is growing too quickly, it will eventually make the vassal state a blood transfusion package for the United States.
But Zhu Gaochi also hesitated.
If you want to achieve the restriction of vassal states and the blood transfusion system, it is not possible to rely on the prestige of the current Ming Dynasty.
You need to move the knife.
So at present, the industrial development of Beiping is rising, and it is not cost-effective to rashly use force against North Korea at this time.
Seeing the doubts of the little prince, Xie Jin took the initiative to say.
"If the little prince has the intention of using force against North Korea, he can declare that North Korea will be restored to Goryeo, but if he does not have the intention of using force at this stage, the minister thinks that he should not take the initiative to expose his thoughts."
Zhu Gaochi did have some concerns.
North Korea today is different from North Korea a hundred years from now.
A hundred years later, North Korea is more obedient to the Ming Dynasty, unlike now, that is, according to the tradition of worshipping the Ming as the suzerain, but still has ambitions for the land.
There is also a rash move against North Korea, which will also alarm Japan.
Yes.
The Three Kingdoms of China and Japan have a deep relationship since ancient times.
China had a large number of people flowing into the Japanese kingdom, and Goryeo also had a large number of people flowing into Japan.
For example, the Ouchi clan, the most powerful guardian in the western part of the current Wa Kingdom.
Unlike many samurai who were born and raised in Wa Province, the Ouchi clan considered themselves to be "Watari people".
His ancestor was Prince Seirin, the third son of King Seungmyeong of Baekje.
For some reason, Prince Shenglin ran away to the Wa Kingdom, and went ashore on the Tatara Shore of the Zhou Defense Kingdom, where he multiplied, and his descendants called themselves "Tatara Clan".
Today, the Muromachi shogunate is in power.
The Ouchi clan was an important force in the local opposition to the Muromachi shogunate.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the Yamana clan, who claimed to be the most powerful guardian, rebelled and was suppressed by the Muromachi shogunate.
This incident also led to a significant weakening of the local resistance forces of the Japanese state.
Next two years.
The Ouchi clan would launch the historic Onei War, the last major rebellion in the early Muromachi shogunate period.
With the suppression of the Ouchi clan, a large number of resistance forces within the Wa Kingdom were completely wiped out, and the remnants were no longer able to resist the Muromachi shogunate.
From then on, the Muromachi shogunate will enter a period of stability.
Then the eunuch trade carried out by the 18 commercial banks that are now maintained in Peking will also suffer a heavy setback.
It was not until the Onin Rebellion that occurred 70 years later that the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom began.
So Zhu Gaochi needs to support Ouchi.
Support the Ouchi clan to prevent the Wakoku from restoring stability, and at the same time allow Golden State to get the eunuchs and women it wants.
What's wrong with the poor and ugly old bachelor.
An old bachelor can't marry a daughter-in-law.
Aren't there many young women in later generations who marry old and ugly bachelors abroad?
Old husband and young wife.
It was a common practice of transnational marriage in later generations, and it was not until the development of the economy in later generations that this phenomenon became less outrageous.
At least the age gap in transnational marriages has been narrowed.
The current Ming is the light of the world.
For the happiness of the old bachelors, Zhu Gaochi must consider the attitude of the Ouchi clan.
The Ouchi clan had a close relationship with North Korea, and even exchanged letters with North Korea when he launched a rebellion, hoping that North Korea would send troops to help him.
Even the development of the Ouchi clan is inseparable from the help of North Korea.
Not counting its own trade with North Korea, the Ouchi clan also received help from North Korea and traded with the Ming Dynasty in the name of North Korea.
In a word.
Domino effect.
"Do you want to let the Goryeo side hurt the interests of my Golden State?" Zhu Gaochi groaned.
"If you don't use force, you can write to the sage and ask the sage to issue an order to punish Goryeo and make Goryeo restrain his attitude."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
"That one is called Zheng Daochuan, and the emperor's grandfather also issued an order to Goryeo, didn't Goryeo also fail to comply with it."
"Definitely."
Xie Jin smiled.
If it is a game of power schemes, the civil officials are very interested.
"In Goryeo, there are people like Chung Do-chuan who do not respect education, and there are also virtuous people who are interested in benefiting civilization."
"When Zheng Daochuan proposed to attack Nuergan, he was opposed by the Goryeo elites, and Zuo Zhengcheng Zhao Jun once strongly opposed it."
"Sageda." Zhu Gaochi muttered Xie Jin's words, and suddenly understood.
I have to change my mindset.
Now it's Daming.
What does that mean, Shang Chao.
This dynasty is not something that it calls itself behind closed doors, but a concept recognized by neighboring countries and regions.
Later, Yi Sung-gye's son rebelled against Lee Sung-gye, and the opposing Korean ministers said that they would go to the court to file a complaint, shouting the slogan of rejuvenating the world and fighting against it.
"Let the wise men of North Korea know the dissatisfaction of our DPRK." Xie Jin was afraid that Yan Shizi would not understand when he was young, so he said something again.
There's something I don't understand.
The United States is too powerful.
Even though the United States has long made threats and made all kinds of targeted and suppressive means, there are still people who say that they have offended the United States because they have done a bad job in the future.
He believes that he should explain to the United States, change his attitude, and gain friendship with the United States.
How to change attitudes?
Tell us all about what the United States has done in the next few decades, and what did the future generations actually resist?
How can you change your attitude?
In fact, it is very simple, the United States is too powerful, and many people are afraid.
Too frightened to turn an ostrich blind eye to the fact that all confrontations are initiated by the United States.
Then now the same is true of Daming.
In the hearts of many Korean magnates, they believe that the Celestial Empire is irresistible and cannot offend the Celestial Empire.
As long as he understands this psychological journey, Zhu Gaochi knows what to do.
Even Li Chenggui, the founding king who controlled the army, was powerless in the face of the main public opinion in his country.
Li Chenggui protected the radical Zheng Daochuan, which shows that this person is not as obedient to the Ming as he appears to be.
But this person did do a lot of obedience to the Ming Dynasty, and it also proved the will of a large number of virtuous people in his country.
"Xie Jin, this matter is left to you, but I have three requirements."
"Please make it clear."
Xie Jin gave up.
"First, the trade between Korean merchants and the Ming Dynasty should not be treated barbarically."
"Second, the wishes of North Korean women should be respected, and North Korea should not prohibit people's freedom."
"Third, Zheng Daochuan does not understand etiquette, but he is in a high position, Daming will sanction this person, and all the two classes of people who cooperate with this person will be sanctioned by Daming and declared as a person who does not understand etiquette."
Listening to this, the corners of Xie Jin's mouth couldn't help but smile.
Yan Shizi understood it so quickly.
Blue is better than blue.
For Beiping to have such a situation, Yan Shizi is really wise, and many truths can be understood at one point.
"If the king of North Korea is stubborn and does not accept the attitude of the Korean elites, he can consider letting the Jinju Navy bombard Seoul."
Zhu Gaochi finished his request.
In fact, there is no difference in the truth of the world, it is nothing more than coercion and temptation.
Zhu Gaochi believes that when the last step is reached, after the Jinju Navy bombards Seoul, in the face of a large number of Korean elites, even the North Korean king will have to choose to make concessions.
This matter needs to be ordered by the capital.
In the name of Zhu Gaochi, Xie Jin returned to Yingtianfu, and half a month later, he waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's summons in the capital.
At this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly left the imperial city.
He was followed by Li Daoxin and others, wearing ordinary civilian clothes, like an ordinary squire.
Ying Tianfu is building a railway.
The workers of the Beiping Railway Engineering Team were the main construction personnel, and many workers were recruited from the local area of Peiping Province to join.
The projects with technical content are done by senior workers in Beiping.
Those unskilled manual jobs were performed by newly recruited workers.
"We first cooked for the railway engineering team in Beiping, and there were only a few hundred people at the beginning."
"In the past six years, our railway engineering team has a total of hundreds of thousands of railway workers."
"Oh."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked: "Wow." ”
Li Daoxin, who was beside him, lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter.
"That's it."
The fat master waved the pot and spoon in his hand and said energetically: "We went to Shanxi to cook rice later, and now we come to cook at the feet of the Son of Heaven."
"Remarkable." Zhu Yuanzhang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Walking south and north, you are a character who has seen the world." ”
"What's more."
"I've also seen the little prince."
"Yes, you've seen the little prince." Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
The old man was too sensible, and the fat master couldn't suppress his desire to speak, and said endlessly: "You know who the most famous character in Peking is, right?" ”
"Forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
"Zhao."
"Many people say that the seventh sister is the most famous, but in fact, the first to become famous was the Zhao family."
The fat master sighed.
"Speaking of which, this Zhao family is also a hard-working person, his own man died early, and a woman's family has to pull two and a half children."
"It wasn't easy." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again.
He was born in a poor family and knows the hardships of the bottom.
When a widow takes care of a child, it is even more difficult.
"But the Zhao family is good-looking, some people are greedy for the beauty of the Zhao family, but I didn't expect the Zhao family to be a ruthless character, so I went directly to the little prince to complain."
The fat master told the story of Zhao's handyman in the railway engineering team with great interest.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes to listen to it the most.
A fat man, an old man, chatting about the gossip of Beiping, as if they were friends in previous years.
"Master, it's getting late."
Li Daoxin had to step forward.
"Eh, it's been so long talking to you unconsciously, we almost forgot to work, if the old gentleman doesn't dislike it and stays for a meal? Try my craft. ”
"That's a good feeling." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
Li Daoxin was speechless.
Several people accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to really stay on the construction site of the engineering team and have dinner.
The fat master and Zhu Yuanzhang played a bowl full of meat dishes.
Heavy oil and heavy salt meat poured over rice, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a great appetite for eating.
"Sir, how is my craft?"
"Delicious, delicious." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "If we are dozens of years younger, it is absolutely okay to eat five or six bowls in one go." ”
"Haha." The fat master smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bowl unsatisfied, looked at the workers on the construction site, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"It's a good day for ordinary people to be able to eat such a good meal."
"The old gentleman is right."
"No matter how tired you are during the day, who can not be satisfied with this meal of oil and water."
The fat master laughed.
"The people live on food."
"Master, I'm really leaving." Li Daoxin stepped forward and urged, interrupting Zhu Yuanzhang's interest.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't embarrass Li Daoxin anymore, and took out a few taels of silver to give to the fat master, but the fat master not only didn't accept it, but also got angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to apologize.
Looking at the backs of a few people leaving, the fat master only met a down-to-earth squire today.
"I can't imagine that there are squires who understand us people."
