The original Goryeo royal family did not overestimate their capabilities and recklessly used weapons and weapons on the Celestial Dynasty. Their luck was exhausted, and I had no choice but to replace them for the sake of the Goryeo people!
After reading this, Zhu Yunxi laughed again.
Grandpa Huang, this Goryeo Li Chenggui is really a wonderful person!
Zhu Yuanzhang drank tea slowly and smiled without saying a word.
According to the orthodox Confucian view, Li Chenggui was seeking to usurp the throne.
At the beginning, Emperor Hongwu issued an edict to draw a clear national boundary with Goryeo, and the old territory of the Yuan Dynasty, Tielingwei, should be used as the boundary. However, the King of Goryeo was unwilling to accept it, and attempted to expedition to the north of Liaodong. The general who went on the expedition under the orders of the King of Goryeo was the current King of Goryeo.
Li Chenggui.
At that time, Li Chenggui was on the Goryeo side, and Xu Da was on the Ming side. As soon as Li Chenggui led his army to the front line and saw the Ming tigers, he made a decision.
Instead of fighting with the Ming Dynasty and being killed, it is better to use the military power in his hands to go back and usurp the throne.
So he led his army back to the capital of Goryeo to open the capital, imprisoned King Xinyu of Goryeo, and supported the puppets. After several years of digestion, he completely took control of the political power of Goryeo. Now that he was enthroned as king, he urgently needed the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
In this era, all the countries next to China can only be considered legal if they are given a title by the Chinese monarch. For example, the king of Thailand in later generations is the family wearing a red suspender vest. His ancestors conspired to usurp the throne in order to obtain
With the permission of Emperor Qianlong, he even falsely claimed that he was a descendant of the Chinese Zheng Shi.
Emperor Qianlong was not stupid, and ignored Ya Ting at all. Later, because of the Burmese war in the so-called Perfect Martial Arts, he needed to win over them, and Siam had been making envoys for years, crying and making trouble, so Emperor Qianlong reluctantly agreed.
However, in the imperial edicts sent to Siam from the Qing Dynasty at the beginning, the word "king" was never used. Instead, the word "king" was used instead of "chief of the state of Siam" or "leader".
Therefore, every Thai king in the past dynasties has a Chinese name.
I will take the name of the king of Goryeo instead. I will never dare to use the name of Goryeo again.
The tall ones are big and beautiful; the beautiful ones are strong and gorgeous.
However, no matter how high the mountains of Goryeo are, they are not as high as Mount Tai and Mount Hua.
No matter how beautiful the river water is, it is not as beautiful as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
How dare a small country dare to use the word "Goryeo" to rise above China and challenge the majesty of a big country!
But now that the king of Goryeo has been punished by heaven, and his ministers know the affairs of the country, their descendants will be the shield for the Liaodong vassal of the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation, and they will not dare to forget the kindness of the heaven.
Therefore, I would like to inform His Majesty Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. How to change the name of the country of Goryeo?
Chen's family was born in Hening, how can it be used as the name of the new country? There is also the ancient name of Goryeo, Korea, which can also be used.
But I dare not make a private decision. Please ask Your Majesty to remember the diplomatic relations between the two countries and give the country a name!
Your Majesty, I have the authority to know the affairs of Korea. Li Chenggui presents me.
It shows that the small country is in a remote and desolate place. It cannot understand the language, has no knowledge and knowledge, is crude in writing, and can only understand things. When it comes to production, it is not familiar with the body, which leads to mistakes. It is not daring to be arrogant. (It means that we in Korea are uneducated.
, the memorial I wrote is messy and messy, just to convey the meaning with words, please don’t blame me, Emperor)
This man can really put down his figure and look down! Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial and said with a smile, he can really lick it!
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, what does licking mean?
It’s what dogs lick when they want to please their master! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Nonsense! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, scolded and glared, "Why is he the master of a country? If your words spread, wouldn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty regards his Korean monarch as a dog?"
Zhu Yunxi didn't think he was wrong. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang didn't beat them up in history, and Zhu Di was deceived by them. Then during the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty sent elites to fight against Japan and aid Korea for the first time in history.
If Zhu Yunxi were from this era, he would probably be licked and confused by the King of Goryeo!
The grandson just felt that being courteous without anything was either a traitor or a thief. Zhu Yunxi continued to laugh and said, He, Goryeo, is so eager to beg and worship, what he is afraid of is that we will hold them accountable for the crime of occupying Liaodong land!
This Li Chenggui is quite a hero! Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and said, "The leader of a country can bend his knees to this point. This character is not simple!"
The more this happens, the more uneasy his grandson becomes about him! Zhu Yunxi said sternly, Grandpa Huang, this person is trying to please us while doing tricks in Liaodong. In fact, he is a duplicitous person.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, and now he still has to be gentle towards Gao Li. He said, look at Zhu Yunxi, if you have the opportunity to go to the border and take a look, you will understand that Gao Li can only be a dog that dare not bite people and bark wildly, while Bei Yuan is
Tiger. Beyond the Great Wall in the Mobei, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry are eyeing our Ming Dynasty. What they want is not just a bit of wilderness, but the entire Central Plains.
The old emperor's words also make sense. Enemies must be prioritized. This is actually a kind of political wisdom.
A good man has three gangs, and a fence has three stakes. Today's Korea is the stake outside the fence of our Ming Dynasty. If he helps us, we should give them some sweetness first. Zhu Yuanzhang said and suddenly smiled, do you think grandpa is pedantic?
No! Zhu Yunxi said quickly.
You kid! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, "Although we are gentle towards Goryeo, we are not blindly indulging in it, otherwise he will bite the bullet." After speaking, he pointed at the imperial case and continued, "The second pile on the right, the top one, is what I wrote."
Goryeo's tribute list, take a look!
Zhu Yunxi turned around again, found the list, and read it.
The tribute is one hundred catties of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred fine horses, fifty stallions, and ten thousand pieces of fine cloth.
Grandpa Huang, you are making Li Chenggui vomit blood! Zhu Yunxi laughed.
Although it is not too difficult to come up with these things in Korea's elementary school, the difficulty lies in the last four words, "years and years". It means that tribute must be paid every year, and it is always this amount.
The old man is also wilted. This is tantamount to directly allowing the two sides to establish a tribute system, and also laying a landmine. If one day Goryeo does not pay tribute, or there are fewer tributes, the Ming Dynasty can use the reason that Goryeo broke the promise to send troops to beat him.
Ginger is still as spicy as old! Zhu Yunxi praised it and continued reading.
Ten pieces of yellow gauze cloth, twenty pieces of white gauze cloth, twenty pieces of linen cloth, ten pieces of hemp and linen cloth, ten pieces of full flower mats, ten yellow flower mats, and colorful flower mats, two curtain mats, fifty kilograms of ginseng, and ten leopard skins.
Zhang, twenty pieces of otter skin, for every year's festival.
Festivals are the annual festivals of the Ming Dynasty, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, New Year's Day and other major festivals.
Five eagles, two hundred catties of mushrooms, one hundred and fifty stones of rice, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and seventy taels of silver, wishing you a happy birthday every year.
The emperor would give so many gifts every year on his birthday.
In addition, 7 maidens, 10 waiters, 16 maids, and 10 firemen are needed every year.
Gold and silver utensils, colorful coins and other items!
In addition to the above, Zhu Yuanzhang also restored the old practice of Goryeo sending beauties and eunuchs to the Yuan Dynasty every year.
The reason why the Wang family, the original royal family of Goryeo, was able to maintain its independence under the iron heel of Dayuan was because of these two tributes. The nobles of Dayuan all represented their glory by the number of Goryeo women in their families.
Kublai Khan once took an unknown woman as his daughter and married her to the king of Goryeo. After that, the children of Goryeo nobles married Dayuan one after another.
Moreover, during the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo donated a large number of female slaves and handsome young men to the Yuan Dynasty every year. Girls were naturally playthings, and most of the handsome young men were castrated and became eunuchs.
As a result, many people in Korea later dared not report the birth of a daughter.
Grandpa Huang, why do you want so many women from them? Zhu Yunxi asked.
To conquer a person is to take away his wife and daughter. The same is true for conquering a country! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly discovered in the old man the temperament of a social elder brother.
Can Goryeo agree? These demands for tribute items are simply a loss of power and humiliation to the country.
He dares not to agree! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, besides, isn't it just what you want if he doesn't agree? If he doesn't agree, you should persuade your grandfather and me to send troops to beat him!
Even your grandson's little thoughts cannot escape your wise eyes! Zhu Yunxi, please send me your flattery.
You, everything is fine, but sometimes you are too impatient! Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, "Governing a country must be done step by step. If you want to hit others, hit them in the right place."
My grandson has remembered it! Zhu Yunxi said.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, "We don't know you, kid?" He said he remembered it, but he was not sure what he was thinking. As he said that, he patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder. "That envoy from Goryeo scared you, you have to find a way."
Soothe yourself.
Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, just to appease him, otherwise he would go back and talk nonsense with Li Chenggui, just in case Gao Li became wary again!
Come, pass the meal! Zhu Yuanzhang said to the outside, I'm so hungry, let's eat with our eldest grandson!
