Chapter 721: Let them be people at first, but if they don't want to, they have to be dogs
"Since Li Qi has taken the initiative to obey my will and wants to leave the country's name, he can forgive him. Even if he fails to truly unify the Ming Dynasty in a non-military manner, it is understandable. After all, it is the nobles and bureaucrats of North Korea who prevent all this;"
"But Li Shi cannot be forgiven. Even if he fails to escape, people have to pay some price for their ignorance of the current affairs. Of course, more importantly, the imperial principles and laws of the Ming Dynasty cannot be chaotic!"
After Zhu Youxiao learned that Seoul was captured by the Ming army and Li Yan surrendered, he issued such an edict.
"Abide by the order! Li Zhen also took it upon himself. Even though he knew it was a fire kang, he insisted on jumping inside. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to be a monarch. However, not all scholars can be like Yu Shaobao, the Ming Dynasty! Besides, my Ming Dynasty king's army is not Ola Yesen, but he is a righteous army. Even if he really has Yu Shaobao in Korea, it will not work."
Wen Tiren started talking at this time.
Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "If it were Yu Shaobao, he might have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard Sun Chuanting say this, he couldn't help but smile, then looked at Zhu Youxiao and said, "But, Your Majesty, now, the Americas are about to be lively. Many forces in the Japanese shogunate have gone there, and many forces in North Korea have also gone there, plus the Western side, there are local Indians."
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say again: "What a pity! I, the Ming Dynasty, don't have the energy to go there to join in the fun."
"It's not enough to get together now! According to the slogan of our governor in the Americas, the plague is so great that it is happening there, especially after the Japanese slaughter in that place! Now all the ships coming over there must be strictly controlled."
Wen Tiren started talking at this time.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "When the plague consumes some of the people over there, reduce the number of them when fighting with each other, and then pass by!"
"What we need to do now is to establish the market order in the newly annexed areas and promote it to prosper. In addition, we are to encourage childbirth and make more people in the Han cultural circle. In addition, we have to take back the colonies of Japan and North Korea in the South and Western countries. These places are more sinicized than those in the Americas and have a denser population, which is just right! Even if it is not convenient for the central government to directly govern the government, it has to be re-elected to the royal family of this dynasty."
"This is OK. What the central court needs is the trade value brought by these places. Whether it can be directly under the jurisdiction of the government is not very meaningful."
Sun Chuanting said and looked at Zhu Youxiao again and said, "But, Your Majesty, I asked, back then, many Han officials were greedy for the high-ranking officials and generous salaries given by the Japanese shogunate and the Korean royal court, and were unwilling to stay in the country or the nobles of our Ming royal family, and would rather go to the colonies of Japan and Korea. Should these people be dealt with?"
"Of course we need to deal with it!"
"At the beginning, they were unwilling to be human beings, so they had to be dogs for others!"
"King Xin complained to me at that time, saying that the court spent military pay, mobilized warships, and cleaned up the Western countries that attempted to slaughter and enslave them. However, these Han gentry who were moving to the South China Sea refused to be their people, and were unwilling to recognize their vassal states, and even our Ming Dynasty, would rather go to the colonial areas of Japan and Korea, because there were literati and officials who were higher than civilians!"
"I only let him be patient for the sake of the overall situation. Now I naturally don't have to endure it. Instead, I have to settle the accounts after the fall. All such people are punished as treason and will be executed! And they have no property! Since they are voluntarily abandoned their status as Han people, I can no longer treat Han gentry in other countries."
Zhu Youxiao said.
...
Southern Luzon Island.
Korean colonial area.
"Wuwu! Being strong and unrighteous will destroy our country!"
Ma Xuan, a former Han native who was already a North Korean envoy here, couldn't help but cry when he learned that the North Korean mainland was annexed by the Ming Dynasty and even spoke to his colleagues in anger.
He has really regarded himself as a Korean minister now.
There is naturally no national consciousness for him.
After crying, Ma Xuan said, "I still remember that when my dynasty ruled here for the first time, I treated Confucian scholars and implemented benevolent policies. Therefore, we all followed them actively and were unwilling to be subjects of the Ming and trusted country who were flirting with Confucian scholars. But why is the heaven so ruthless that he would rather make the world lose its benevolence and help the domineering and powerful people spread throughout the world!"
"What Ma Gong said is, but what can we do?"
Chen Xuanwen, the commander of the Korean colonial area, started to speak helplessly at this time.
"Of course, we are raising an army to kill Ming!"
Ma Xuan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I would rather die while standing than sit and wait for death!"
"Not good, we are not the opponent of Ming, let alone a Xinguo next to us, staring at him all the time!"
Chen Xuanwen waved his hand, looked at Ma Xuan speechlessly, and then said something.
Ma Xuan replied: "But even if we don't raise an army to kill Ming, Ming will not let us go."
"According to the policy of the Ming Dynasty, as long as we accept unity peacefully, it is not a crime, but it is nothing more than being unable to serve the people, and from then on, it is nothing. Besides, we are all proficient in Sinology. If the Celestial Empire continues to expand, more scholars will definitely be needed to serve the Celestial Empire, so maybe we can continue to serve the Celestial Empire in the future."
Chen Xuanwen said something at this time.
Ma Xuan couldn't help but slapped the table and pointed at Chen Xuanwen angrily: "Duke Chen! Why did you say such shameless words? His Ming Kingdom is to destroy our enemy country. What's more, are you really willing to see him unify this place and let those unemployed people who work and farm on an equal footing with you? In my opinion, it's better to take a boat to America under the banner of killing Ming to help me restore my hometown as soon as possible!"
Chen Xuanwen didn't expect that Ma Xuan, a Han man, cares more about his country than his Goryeo. For a moment, he felt a little ashamed. He also thought that the attitude of Ming Dynasty towards the literati was indeed unacceptable, especially because the literati had no privileges, which made him unable to bear it, so he said, "Well! If you listen to you, let's leave here under the banner of killing Ming."
"Report! A riot occurred in the city, and a large number of rioters attacked the government office, saying that they wanted to save themselves first and wait to invite the Heavenly Kingdom. No, they asked the officials of the Ming Kingdom to come and take their own life."
At this time, Park Seung-eun, an official who served as the military post of Du Yuhou in Korea, hurriedly ran over and reported to Chen Xuanwen.
After hearing this, Ma Xuan cursed: "This group of troublemakers must have been launched by the spies of the Ming Dynasty. They should be killed, and no one should be left behind!"
Chen Xuanwen nodded.
"Report! A large number of Ming Dynasty giant ships appeared outside the city. Some Ming Dynasty officials held imperial edicts and the Holy Emperor's edicts asked us to accept the edicts, saying that if we do not accept the edicts, all officials will be punished for the crime of resisting the edicts!"
At this time, another capital, Yuhou, came to report.
Chen Xuanwen was shocked after hearing this: "The Ming army is here so soon?"
Chapter completed!
