Chapter 2462

Although the Ming Dynasty successively lost control of large areas of the southern coastal areas, fortunately there was no major chaos in the domestic situation, and it could still rely on the national strength accumulated over the past two hundred years to continue to fight a war of attrition with the Qing Dynasty. But on the other hand, the Qing Dynasty's attitude towards this kind of war of attrition

The affordability is much worse. The speed of manufacturing weapons and equipment and training qualified soldiers has begun to fail to keep up with combat needs. Moreover, after a large number of young people in the country have been recruited into the army, it has inevitably had a negative impact on social productivity.

But it was difficult for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to stop at this time. Huang Taiji also knew that the Ming Dynasty definitely wanted to use up the war effort to drain the Qing Dynasty's national power. If he sued for peace from the Ming Dynasty at this time, it would only expose his own weakness, but it might

Let Ming step up his actions and expand his offensive.

Moreover, Huang Taiji also knew very well that the Haihan people who had been on the sidelines seemed to be neutral, but their true position was actually in favor of the Ming Dynasty. This can be seen from the arms export ban that Haihan only implemented against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This was obviously a bias.

.If the Manchu Qing Dynasty shows signs of defeat, then the thousands of Haihan troops stationed in Jinzhou are not vegetarians, and they are likely to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury.

Huang Taiji even believed that the reason why Haihan had been standing still was that he was waiting for the two countries to fight and lose both sides so that he could reap the benefits. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and could withstand the consequences of defeat, but once his country lost this battle

After the war, it is very likely that the people will be brought back to their original shape and once again become the primitive tribes under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, another situation may arise, that is, the ruler of Liaodong is replaced by the Haihan people.

But no matter which one of the two it is, it is an outcome that Huang Taiji cannot accept. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have no way out and can only grit their teeth and win this war.

The Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were fighting to the death, which was a situation that Haihan was happy to see. Just as Huang Taiji believed, Haihan wanted the two countries to weaken each other, so that there would be more space for Haihan in the future.

play.

However, while the fight between the two countries was lively, Haihan also happened to settle some unresolved matters in Northeast Asia.

The first is the issue of the positioning and development direction of North Korea. Haihan hopes that North Korea can act as a stable and obedient vassal state that can provide resources, population and markets to Haihan stably in the long term, and cooperate with Haihan in international politics.

The various development strategies formulated are just like North Korea's performance during the negotiation process of the Jinzhou Peace Treaty.

However, after North Korea settled down, it inevitably developed some ambitions to break away from Haihan's control. Although it does not currently have the corresponding strength, these signs have aroused the vigilance of Haihan's executive committee. Let Fenglin Grand Prince Li Hao stay here all year round.

In Sanya, it is a means of containing the current king Li Xie, but this alone cannot make the executive committee feel at ease.

The experience from the future time and space makes it difficult for the bosses of the executive committee to trust the Koreans. This ethnic group does not respect the bottom line principles of historical traditions. They only consider their own interests. This point has already been abandoned by the Korean nation and switched to the Ming Dynasty.

Haihan's actions have been fully proved. If one day they think that their strength can escape Haihan's control, they will definitely cut off the vassal relationship with Haihan without hesitation, and everything about Haihan in their country's history will be

The records were cleaned up, just as they had left the Ming Dynasty as completely and decisively as they had before.

The Executive Committee believes that the only thing that can make North Koreans obey is the authority from the strong. In order for them to maintain humility towards Haihan, it is difficult to create enough influence with the current military garrison and trade methods alone.

Starting from the cultural level, it will take one or two generations to completely change their cultural traditions and values.

Of course, direct annexation of North Korea is actually one of the options, but the Executive Committee believes that even if North Korea can be occupied through military means, the cost-effectiveness of governing North Korea personally is still too low. This poor and backward region may become a major burden for the country.

, this point is also the unanimous choice of many Central Plains dynasties from a historical perspective. Haihan only needs to control the main mineral resource producing areas and sea access channels in the peninsula, and does not need the rest, so as to maximize profits.

Compared with military means, it is easier to suppress North Korea through comprehensive means such as politics, economy, trade, and culture. It requires fewer resources and may achieve better results than military occupation.

At the end of 1645, the Executive Committee notified Li Zhi through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that in order to facilitate exchanges between the two countries, it hoped that Li Zhi would officially determine the Korean characters as Chinese characters, ensure their uniqueness, and call on the people to learn Chinese and promote it nationwide.

Stop using obscure so-called Korean proverbs.

In addition, the Executive Committee also requested that the historical records of North Korea be revised to avoid spreading wrong ideas to future generations of North Korean citizens. Of course, this revision must be completed together with officials sent by Haihan officials, and the revised version must also be completed.

After being reviewed and approved by Haihan officials, it was then used as one of the basic cultural textbooks of North Korea and promoted nationwide.

Korean proverbs were created during the reign of the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty, Yi Sun, more than 200 years ago. This alphabet system called "Hunminjeongeum" has been widely used in Korea.

, in addition to official documents and personal letters, this is also a required subject in the imperial examination for recruiting officials. However, this kind of writing can easily confuse the meaning because of its many homophones. Therefore, Chinese characters are still widely used as writing tools in formal occasions, and proverbs are only

A kind of auxiliary text.

And Haihan is now trying to exert political pressure to get North Korean officials to abolish this writing system that has been used for two hundred years, which is to completely erase its independent cultural symbols and make it dependent on the Han cultural system in the future.

Of course, just erasing the words is not enough. Considering some special habits of this race, the executive committee put forward the request to revise its history, and will organize scholars to write books and commentaries on this, and then pass the inscriptions.

Inscription, to ensure that the relevant history will not be tampered with by future generations.

Even if Li Zhi and the ministers could roughly imagine the purpose of Haihan's demands, they were unable to resist at the moment. The war with the Manchus made them understand that their strength was still far behind Haihan. If they wanted to ensure the peace of Korea, then

It is best not to try to disobey Haihan's decision. Although it is very unfilial to abolish the writing that the ancestors worked so hard to create, it is still easier to accept the situation than being deposed from the throne and losing power.
