When encountering major events, he needs to be calm, and he has been thinking hard from morning to evening, and Zhu Qiyu made a decision:

Accepted the surrender of Joseon, renamed the king of Joseon Li Hongwei as the king of Ru, named the prince of Shouyang Li Yao as the dun debo, the prince of Jincheng and the prince of Anping were also awarded earls, and all members of the royal family moved to Qiongzhou.

Korea was divided into two provinces, and the ten sons of the emperor were canonized as the king of Han, and the eleventh son of the emperor was the king of Chen, and the towns were divided into Pyongyang and Seoul.

Quan Chuan and Han Minghun were appointed as governors, and all the original officials were retained and assigned to ministries as appropriate.

The Korean naval division was transferred to Pusan, where it was fully prepared for war and prepared to attack Japan.

The remaining 30,000 Japanese troops who came to aid Korea were eliminated by North Korea.

In addition, from now on, the people of the DPRK will be exempted from taxation and forced labor for three years.

On the second day, Zhu Qiyu personally came to Qingyun Pavilion and summoned He Yi, Gao Yao and others to discuss.

He Yi gave two additions: "Shengshang, we must put the ugly words and North Korea in front, and move at least 100,000 Miao people, 100,000 Han people, and 100,000 Yao people into North Korea."

It just so happened that the local Korean soldiers were almost exhausted, and we gave the newly moved 300,000 people land, and formed an army of 60,000 to 80,000 on their basis.

North Korean locals, don't have to be soldiers first, it's better to farm with peace of mind and multiply. After two generations of indoctrination, some of them were considered to be incorporated into the guard.

In addition, Weichen thought that we should immediately move the ten county kings over.

Didn't we have agreed to implement Gao Wei's native recusal system before, so with the two princes of the Holy Lords as princes and the ten county kings of the Zhou Domain as auxiliaries, we could quickly consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Korea.

It just so happened that the Zhou clan had already been moved to Liaodong before, so let's move it again, and the county kings of the Zhou clan themselves were happy, after all, most of the prefectures and counties in Korea were stronger than the poor countryside of Liaodong. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded again and again: "It makes sense, I should be thinking about fighting Japan, if you don't say it, I will forget about Zhou Fan."

Okay, let's do it. First move the vassal king and the people in, and if the Joseon dares to surrender and rebel, we will suppress it with a large army.

You go and inform the cabinet, I won't convene a small court.

Also, in this year's township test, you will urge you to do so. In March, all the people of Enke and Zhengke will be selected, and Enke Jinshi will be selected in September, and Zhengke Jinshi will be selected in March next year.

Then we hurriedly sent officials, and we fought several provinces, and there was a serious shortage of officials. You can let the wind go first, we should carry out the reform of the officials, so that ordinary officials also have a promotion channel, and the upper limit must be set at least on the four-grade prefect. ”

He Yi replied: "Everything else is easy to say, but the reform of this official is afraid that there is great resistance." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It must be difficult, so first try to reform the officials in North Korea and Annan, and then slowly promote it."

Isn't it that North Korea has already been defeated, and when I defeat Japan again, my prestige will be even higher.

Every time my prestige soars, I do something that offends people and consumes my prestige.

Cut the meat with a blunt knife and take your time little by little. ”

After the discussion, He Yi went to carry out these difficult tasks.

……

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, in the city of Pyongyang.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Heng finally waited for the emperor's edict.

After receiving the order, Jiang Yuan asked: "An Guogong, can the DPRK agree to this condition?" Are the saints and the princes of the court a little taken for granted, I think we should continue to prepare for the war. ”

Xu Heng smiled: "How can it be done, the Japanese army has retreated to Anbian, and they are fighting trapped beasts in the city."

The 50,000-strong Korean army had already reached Deokwon, and Fan Quang's 30,000-strong Ming army was in Wonsan and had formed an encirclement of the Japanese army.

The Korean naval divisions were also concentrated in Pusan, and patrolled the waters east of Tsushima Island to prevent the Japanese from sending reinforcements again.

It's all come to this point, and it would be too immoral to tell the DPRK that the peace talks have broken down. ”

"But as soon as he came up, he moved all the Korean royal family, and then set up two Ming princes, ten county kings, and 300,000 people.

If I were the king of Korea, I would not be able to accept it. ”

Xu Heng was still unhurried: "Try it first, maybe they can accept it." If they can't accept it, let's have them redeploy and return to continue the war.

This is all negotiable, in short, we are fighting a righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and we will never take advantage of others' dangers, nor will we take advantage of others.

No matter how the situation changes, we will only firmly hold on to Pyongyang, respond to all changes with no change, and sit back and watch the ups and downs. ”

Jiang Yuan had to nod, Xu Heng had an advantage over Fang Ying, that is, he was very firm.

This saves everyone from hesitating, and no one dares to make up their minds. With Xu Heng here, Jiang Yuan felt much less pressure. Anyway, even if the sky falls, there is this tall emperor's family to support him.

On the 26th of the first month, the news reached Seoul.

The Korean monarchs and ministers, who had already been in a hurry, immediately started a heated discussion after receiving the edict of the great emperor.

Quan Wei and Han Minghun were very happy, the emperor gave the position of governor so generously, and he was appointed as the governor with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and as soon as he surrendered, he was a high-ranking official of the second grade of the Ming Dynasty, and he was decent and powerful.

The clan represented by Li Ying, the Grand Monarch of Anping, and Li Yu, the Great Monarch of Jincheng, and some officials loyal to King Li Hongwei were strongly opposed.

Li Yu, the prince of Jincheng, shouted to Li Hongwei and his ministers: "If we accept the edict of the Son of Heaven, Korea will be completely destroyed."

As a minister, when you are loyal to the king and serve the country, and surrender without a fight, can you be willing? ”

Quan Yu knew that he could not let the trend of public opinion fall into Li Yu's hands, so he immediately retorted: "What does it mean to surrender without a fight? The Japanese reinforcements have already died 100,000, and our army has lost more than 100,000, isn't this price heavy enough?

Now that the people have made up their minds, what will it do to the people if they continue to fight?

Besides, the Son of Heaven insists on destroying Korea, if I don't wait, the Son of Heaven will send another 100,000 troops, how can I resist it when the time comes?

The Lord of Jincheng is willing to fight again, so may I ask, where should the grain, grass, muskets, and artillery come from?

You want to fight again, the army and the people don't want to fight anymore, how to solve this, you can't let us civil servants go to the battlefield in person, right?

Even if we are willing to go to war, it will not be useful. ”

Li Yu was speechless when asked, the gap between the national strength of North Korea and the Ming Dynasty was too big, so the top and bottom did not want to fight.

For the ministers, after the surrender, the official position was promoted instead of being lowered, and the songs were sung, danced and danced, and the songs and dances were promoted to level, and everyone was happy.

For the common people, they can enter the Ming Dynasty household registration, and all of them can become good citizens of the Celestial Empire, no longer have to be enslaved by the Korean royal family as before, and they can also be exempted from taxes and forced labor for three years.

All you need is a simple surrender to restore peace and live in peace, so why not?

Even the king of North Korea, Li Hongwei, no longer wants to toss. Now the military and political power is in the hands of Quan Zhuan, Han Minghun and others.

If you persist any longer, even if there is a miracle and the Ming army is repulsed, so what, you are still a puppet of civilian officials.
