Chapter 679 Jeju Island

The procrastination technique is actually a characteristic of Ming Dynasty officialdom. If you procrastinate on some things, they will gradually turn into bad things. If you procrastinate on some things, they will gradually turn into good things.

Of course, there are mostly bad ones and few good ones.

To fight against the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who represent interest groups behind them, we must pay attention to methods and methods, and cannot blindly pursue simplicity and crudeness.

The road to cracking down on privileged groups is long and arduous.

Divide Sun Chuanting's trial plan in Henan into small acres, and temporarily choose the procrastination strategy to protect Sun Chuanting personally and ensure that what Sun Chuanting does can be continued to be implemented in Henan. In the process, public opinion will be expanded and the trial policy will be maintained.

influence.

Where there are opponents, there will be supporters.

Even if there are very few supporters, Emperor Chongzhen still has his own way to ensure that the diviation of land can be effectively implemented instead of compromising and abolishing it halfway!

Reforms involving land must be carried out steadily, otherwise it will be impossible to plug the financial loopholes of the Ming Dynasty.

If fiscal loopholes cannot be plugged, tax evasion cannot be prevented, let alone tax evasion. Without a virtuous cycle, the Ming Dynasty’s fiscal system cannot even think of the reform and reform being successful.

For Emperor Chongzhen, leasing Jeju Island under the jurisdiction of North Korea through profit was undoubtedly the beginning of obtaining this strategic maritime location at the lowest cost, and then realizing the planned plan and deployment.

Li Cong felt emotional in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that your Majesty agreed to your request when you, North Korea, proposed trade with the Ming Dynasty and let the North Korean royal family handle the matter exclusively.

But even so, there are still many people in North Korea who yearn for the Ming Dynasty. After all, North Korea is known as Little China. Whether it is culture, etiquette, or language, they all inherit the Chinese style, but it is a pity that they are influenced by Bingzi.

The influence of chaos made the ruling groups like Li Zhu timid and did not dare to oppose the rebels. This caused the Ming Dynasty to lose an important strategic location at the military level.

"It involves important military matters, so please forgive me for not saying more."

Jianlu attacked Liaonan again?!

Li Zhu's face changed slightly.

Since the Ming Dynasty began to trade with North Korea, the power held by the North Korean royal family has gradually increased. If the King of North Korea continues to be hesitant on this matter, then I will not be able to tell His Majesty whether to continue to deal with North Korea.

Commerce, whether to protect North Korea as a suzerain state, these are things that I dare not think about, and everything needs to be decided by your Majesty."

According to the original timeline, the Dingmao Rebellion that occurred in the seventh year of Tianqi forced North Korea to bow to the brave and capable Jianlu, but North Korea did not abandon its status as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the Bingmao Rebellion in the ninth year of Chongzhen that

In the face of the Jianlu's fierce offensive, North Korea was militarily conquered by the Jianlu Eight Banners. Since then, Korea has severed its vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty and recognized Jianlu as its suzerain state.

The Korean groups represented by Li Zhu were well aware of all that had happened in Liao in the past. The frequent defeats of Jianlu in Liao made many people in North Korea feel excited and inspired.

However, beginning in the third year of Chongzhen's reign, the overall situation in the Liao Dynasty reversed, which also brought about a new turning point in Korea. Emperor Chongzhen took full advantage of his status as suzerain.

However, Kim Hyun, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, clearly made a breakthrough with North Korea in leasing Jeju Island. However, there will be a lot of tedious things to solve in the future. After all, this involves sovereignty issues. Even if North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, if these

Failure to handle it properly will affect the handover process of Jeju Island.

With the steady advancement of the Liao strategy, Ming did not want any accidents or unrest in North Korea to affect Ming's established strategy.

Reform will inevitably intensify conflicts.

"King of Joseon, out of personal relationship, I need to remind you again."

Li Zhu launched a rebellion in North Korea during the Tianqi period. The legitimacy of being able to take charge of North Korea was that he was pro-Ming and Pai Jin. He stood firmly on the side of the Ming Dynasty and changed his previous neutral attitude. Only then could he ensure that he would be recognized by the Ming Dynasty's suzerainty and get the approval.

Emperor Tianqi issued an edict to seal it.

Dongjiang Pinglu pointed forward, and Counselor Jin Xuan faced the gaze of Joseon King Li Zhu and said loudly: "Instead, I use fine muskets, artillery, cotton, colored glaze and other items, discounted into annual rental silver, to you alone

The handover of the Korean royal family is also the preferential treatment given to you by His Majesty.

Benefits can be exchanged.

"King of Joseon, I hope you can understand clearly that the lease of Jeju Island proposed by the Ming Dynasty is not to occupy the territory of your Joseon Kingdom like the rampant rebels."

Jin Xuan said calmly: "But there is one thing. I can remind the King of Korea to prevent the recurrence of the Battle of Korea, which is what your country calls the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Korea can not think about some things, but

Ming Dynasty cannot think about it.

This laid a solid foundation for plans such as continuing to move feudal lords in the future, gradually conquering Japanese islands, building a complete maritime defense line with the Ryukyu Islands, Toban and other maritime important places, and expanding the scale of maritime trade.

"Sir, your Majesty wants to lease Jeju Island. What exactly do you want to do?" Li Zhu relaxed a little and looked at Jin Xuan and said: "After all, this place is far away from the Liao Dynasty. Even if you go to the country to lease it, right..."

Interests can influence the political situation.

After all, starting from the late Wanli Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty suffered frequent defeats in battles with the Jianlu. This also caused some voices in North Korea to believe that the Ming Dynasty was no longer as strong as it once was, especially in Liaozuo, Liaonan, Liaoxi and other places.

fall, this public opinion became even stronger.

Not to mention the factional disputes within your North Korea, in fact, your position as the King of North Korea has never been very stable, right?"

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty is well aware of what North Korea has experienced in the past. Li Shi's rebellion and Ding Mao's chaos have damaged North Korea's vitality.

Regarding the lease regulations of Jeju Island, the Ming Dynasty gave many preferential treatment. Even after signing the regulations, the Fuzhou counties along the coast of the Ming Dynasty could provide money to the Korean royal family through employment and hire bankrupt youths and various craftsmen in North Korea.

households to ensure that the rebellion in North Korea can be reduced accordingly."

Regardless of whether this matter occurs at any time or in any region, once the corresponding signs appear, it will inevitably cause turmoil and influence.

The Ming Dynasty had its turbulence and influence, and North Korea, thousands of miles away, also had corresponding situations.

Reform does not happen overnight.

When Li Zhu heard this, he immediately expressed his attitude and said: "Okay, Xiao Wang has signed the lease regulations!"

Seoul.

Jin Xuan lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at the hesitant Li Zhu, and said: "Just a few days ago, I received an urgent report from Liaoqian from Dongjiang Town, saying that the Eight Banners of Yan Jianlu had gathered heavy troops to attack

The Liaodong Rebel Army, which spontaneously gathered to resist the rebel rebellion, launched a large-scale counterattack in an attempt to extinguish the just act of Liao.

As Jin Hyun said, the current internal situation in North Korea seems to be calm, but in fact it is a turbulent undercurrent. Although most of them are dissatisfied with the rule of the imperialists, there are still some who advocate submission, and it is this part that

They are all privileged factions within North Korea.

The Ming Dynasty experienced some defeats in the past, but today's emperor is wise and powerful, and proposed a pan-Liaodong strategy in Liaodong to gradually resolve the rebellion of the rebels.

North Korea, an important strategic location, cannot be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty at this stage.

In particular, the original industrialization of the Ming Dynasty did not advance. In a sense, controlling North Korea was the blood of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to truly control this important place in North Korea, you must wait until the arrival of the steam age, and then Ming Dynasty can gradually bring North Korea under its actual rule.

After all, if you want to control the costs of North Korea at that time, you have to reduce them a lot. Whether it is administrative costs or military costs, they can be greatly reduced by the advent of the steam era. To calculate the cost of governing the country,

It is the key to ensuring that Ming Dynasty can be revived.
