Chapter 313: The prince guards the gate of the country, and the vassal king dies in Sheji(2/2)

"Of course they want to live a life of food and clothing. We can't veto the majority just because a few people disagree."

"Besides, those royal families are not to be abolished. They can be brought to the capital when the time comes. The throne can still be retained, and they can also receive a generous salary from the court."

"Even their salaries can be linked to the vassal country's annual income. If the vassal country develops better, their salaries will naturally be more. Wouldn't that be better?"

Listening to Zhu Ying's sophistry, Zhu Chun subconsciously wanted to argue.

But after a moment of silence, he gave up.

Although Zhu Yingzai is the only one who has mentioned this matter, everyone knows that it is impossible to change it.

The three leading brothers, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Xi, have already confirmed this plan.

Naturally, it is difficult for those who are younger brothers to refute.

Zhu Chun felt a little regretful that he could only leave in tears just ten years after he finally built the palace of the King of Shu.

In fact, in terms of relationship, the relationship between Zhu Chun and Zhu Ying is quite close.

Zhu Chun's principal concubine is Lan Yu's daughter.

"Emperor's nephew, now only the third and fourth brothers are over to the Japanese country. Just now, the emperor's nephew also said that after the Japanese country is completely conquered, it will be divided into three kingdoms. I wonder if there are candidates for this third vassal state."

Zhu Xi asked.

Annan couldn't get it, and Zhu Ping was more concerned about the Japanese country.

After all, attacking the Japanese country is an inevitable step for the Ming Dynasty. It is naturally much easier to conquer with a large army to protect it.

After hearing this, Zhu Ying certainly understood what Qin King Zhu Xiang meant, but Zhu Ying didn't really want Zhu Xiang to go there.

The relationship between Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan is naturally much better than that of Zhu Di. If it goes on for a long time, there will definitely be a lot of pressure on Zhu Di. Zhu Ying does not want to see such a situation.

What Zhu Ying wanted to see was to add a weaker third party, creating a situation where Zhu Di and Zhu Fan were fighting against each other in the Japanese kingdom.

Relatively speaking, this situation is more able to stabilize the situation of Japan. This balance point is not so easy to be broken.

And for Zhu Ying, it can also better control the economy.

Facing Zhu Ping's words, after thinking for a moment, Zhu Ying said: "Actually, Korea is also a very good place at the moment."

"The advantage of Goryeo lies in its geographical location, which is also very important to the Ming Dynasty. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its maritime trade can also be very rich."

"With the relationship with Japan, it will be very convenient and fast for Japan's silver production to sail through Tsushima Island."

When Zhu Xi heard this, he stopped talking.

In his heart, Korea is indeed a very good place.

The most famous thing about Goryeo is that it was not captured by the Sui Dynasty in three expeditions. Although he had never been there, he had heard of Goryeo's reputation.

Moreover, Goryeo is also very close to the Ming Dynasty, just across the Yalu River.

Across the coast is the Japanese state, and with maritime trade, it is relatively wealthy compared to many places in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying saw that Zhu Ping didn't continue, so he didn't explain too much.

Goryeo is very big, although overall it is a little smaller than Japan, but it is on the mainland, not an island country.

Especially those connected to the Ming Dynasty, the strategic areas are even more important, so naturally it is impossible to leave them all to Zhu Ping.

But there is no need to say these words now.

At this point, all the vassal kings have basically understood Zhu Ying's intentions. Although some vassal kings are unwilling, the thorns in the middle, such as Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Shu, are relatively easy to defeat.

The vassal kings, who had fought for many years, had many achievements to their credit, and had military power, still felt that the idea of ​​establishing overseas kingdoms was a good idea.

Moreover, someone like Zhu Di is someone who dares to fight and fight hard, so overseas feudalism is more in line with his new ideas.

The current feudal lords are all here.

Once they are taken care of and the vassal is not established later, the problem will naturally not be big. Even if you are unwilling, you can only follow the arrangement.

Zhu Ying still feels very satisfied with this plan.

Especially for the territory of Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes: The prince guards the gate of the country, and the vassal king dies in the country.
