Goryeo, also known as Little China, has been under the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years and has been loyal to the country.
But there is a big question mark on the second half of this sentence.
At this time, although the Li family in Goryeo replaced the Wang family as the King of Goryeo and pursued a pro-Ming policy that regarded the Ming Dynasty as the orthodoxy of China, in fact, Goryeo was a group of wild dogs surrounding the great lion of the Ming Dynasty.
There are groups of wild dogs on the grassland. They seem gentle and harmless. They always follow the lions and pick up the leftovers left by the lions. But once a lioness is left alone, they will also
They will show their claws and fangs and swarm them.
This metaphor is the most realistic portrayal of Korea today.
On the way back to the city, Zhu Yunxi's mind was filled with the overview of the country Goryeo.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the border between China and Korea was at Tieling.
This Tieling is not the big city Tieling mentioned by the uncle of later generations, but the foothills of a mountain called Tieling in Gangwon Province in North Korea.
Gangwon Province is located in the middle east of Goryeo, covering an area of about 170,000 square kilometers. Geographically, it is almost one behind and slightly parallel to Pyongyang.
At the time of the handover between the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Goryeo saw the weakness of the Central Plains and aggressively expanded its territory to the north, even pushing the national border to the south of the Tumen River.
The Tumen River is originally an inland river in China, and has been owned by the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong for generations. The Tumen River is called Doman in Korean, which is actually a transliteration of the Jurchen language. This matter is clearly written in the "Additional East Kingdom" written by Li Chaoshan.
Among the "Yudi Shenglan".
However, Changbai Mountain, the sacred mountain that the Korean people often used as a quarrel in later generations, was not within their territory from beginning to end, even when their territory was the largest.
"Records of Suzong of the Li Dynasty" records that Changbai Mountain is called Shanyan Alin in Manchu. Because of the white mountain top, the Jurchens call it Baitou Mountain in awe. It is a sacred mountain worshiped by the Jurchens. It is inherited by all Jurchen tribes. Changbai Mountain is the Jurchens' sacred mountain.
Place of origin.
The Tumen River is also the only channel from China to the Sea of Japan, which has extremely high strategic significance.
Starting from the Hongwu period, taking advantage of the strong strength of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was unable to take care of Liaodong. The Li family and the Goryeo Dynasty began to annex Liaodong, annihilated the Jurchen tribes that had been recruited by the Central Plains, and immigrated rapidly.
At this time, Liaodong was still a land of bitter cold. The Central Plains had limited knowledge of Liaodong, and it was impossible for large-scale immigrants to open up fields. However, Goryeo had coveted Liaodong for hundreds of years and knew the situation in Liaodong well.
It is now the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, when the Li clan of Korea officially replaced Goryeo. At the same time, their power in Liaodong has reached the upper reaches of the Tumen River. A large number of Jurchen tribes have been annexed by them, and a large amount of territory has been encroached on.
It’s just that the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is still the Northern Yuan Dynasty entrenched in Mobei, and the noble courtiers who founded the Ming Dynasty are all southerners. They don’t have a deep understanding of the north, and their geographical knowledge is even less accurate. Therefore, in the future, they will be
The encroached land has become the fact of their territory.
During the Yongle period, Zhu Di began several expeditions to the north. At the same time, in order to weaken the influence of Mongolia, he began to win over the Jurchen tribes. But at the same time, Goryeo's invasion of Liaodong reached its peak, and they even recruited Nurhaci's sixth ancestor Meng Ge.
Tamerlane had thousands of Jurchen households.
It's just that people didn't care about him, and he led his tribe to plunder towns in North Korea year after year.
During the Yongle period, when the Ming Dynasty was appeasing the Liaodong Jurchens, the Li Dynasty not only secretly killed the Ming envoys, but also when the Jianzhou Jurchens surrendered and were appointed as the Jianzhou Guards, in order to resist the Jianzhou Guards and prevent the Jurchens from returning to the Ming Dynasty, they directly
The border trade on Qingyuan Road next to Jianzhouwei was closed and an economic blockade was carried out.
Every time the Ming Dynasty recruited the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, the Li Dynasty secretly blocked it. The Ming Dynasty's borders were too long and it was impossible to heavily guard the wilderness. The productivity of the current generation was not suitable for large-scale immigration in those deep mountains and old forest areas.
The Li Dynasty not only invaded the old land of China, but also annexed the Jurchen tribes who had lived there for generations. They also conducted complete statistics on those Jurchen tribes who did not obey them and had been in military conflict with them.
With such wolfish ambition, how can it be called Little China?
In the third year of Yongle, it took the Ming Dynasty one and a half years to send envoys six times to appease Timur, the Jurchen tribe of Oudoli in Huining, Amu River (now in North Korea). Then, after Timur, Timur
The Balsun Jurchen Tribe was appeased and Mao Lianwei was established, nominally bringing these tribes under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
But the Li Dynasty was unwilling to do so. They first trapped and killed the leader of the Balsun Jurchen tribe, and then began a large-scale massacre of various Jurchen tribes.
However, the Jurchens were not vegetarians. Under the leadership of Meng Ge Timur (the sixth ancestor of Nurhaci), the leader of the Jurchens in Odoli, they assembled various armies to attack the Qingyuanfu city established by the Li Dynasty, forcing the Li Dynasty to retreat.
However, the Jurchen tribes in the semi-primitive state also suffered heavy casualties, so they had no choice but to move their tribes from the Amu River to Fengzhou to join the Huli Gai Jurchens (today's Meihekou area in Jilin).
In-law relations are close.
In the 10th year of Yongle, the Jianzhou Left Guard was established, and Meng Ge Timur was the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard. Later in the 20th year of Yongle, Meng Ge Timur once again led 6,000 tribesmen back to his homeland of Amu River. However, due to Mongolia
, the Jurchen tribes were fighting, and the fierce brother Timur died.
During the Xuande period, Fancha, the leader of the Odori tribe, was the commander of the Jianzhou left guard. In order to get rid of the encroachment of North Korea, he joined forces with Li Manzhu, the commander of the Jianzhou guard, and started another war against North Korea.
But this time they failed to win, and Jianzhou Wei Jurchen moved again to Zaotu Mountain on the bank of the Suzi River (today's Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning), which also became the place of Longxing and Xingjing of the Qing Dynasty in the future.
Putting aside these digressions, the most disdainful aspect of North Korea in Zhu Yunxi's memory is the second year of Yongle in history.
Li Fangyuan, the great ancestor of the Joseon Dynasty, requested Zhu Di to return the ten virgin lands in the Northeast on the grounds that his Li family was born in the Northeast and was buried in the Northeast. (The ancestors of the Li family were Jurchens.)
Although Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was talented and wise, he made a wrong choice on this issue. He recognized the south of the Tumen River as the territory of the Li Dynasty, and the Jianzhou Guard Aha sent out the Jurchen tribe to withdraw from the Tumen River.
The war horse walked slowly, and Zhu Yunxi on the horse had a sneer on his face.
This unfamiliar dog next to him has been the same throughout the ages. The reason why he later showed respect to the Ming Dynasty was because first there was the Japanese country, and then there were the feuding Jurchens who continued to attack the Li Dynasty. He had no choice but to hug him.
Get on Ming's thigh.
When the Qing Dynasty was powerful, the Korean flag also had four characters written on it, which read: Qing Dynasty.
In fact, this country only cares about fighting and not eating. From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang of North Korea is very clear. You just pay tribute, and there is no need to talk about anything else.
Goryeo was once one of the eight great ranches of the Yuan Dynasty, and now it pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty with a large number of military horses every year. They were so honest because they were intimidated by the Ming Dynasty's military front.
To deal with these people, it is not enough to be gentle and gentle, you must let them see your fists!
Seeing that the palace city was approaching, Zhu Yunxi ordered on his horse to go and call Xie Jin and Tie Xuan!
Goryeo envoy?
Let Xie Jin spray you in the face first.

Although this chapter is watery, it was very tiring to write because I had to avoid minefields and ensure authenticity.
Historically, North Korea and the Jurchens had more than two hundred years of grievances and hatred. Eventually, North Korea was completely conquered, which was regarded as revenge.
During the Yuan Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Jurchen households in Oduoli. During both the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the administrative area Huli Gai was set up at the mouth of the Mudanjiang River. The Oudoli family was the Aixinjueluo family.
Huli Gai is not the core circle of Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom, but the inheritance relationship between the two is real. The similarity between Manchu and Jurchen is more than 70%.
I have read this in some information about North Korea. North Koreans are called descendants of Dai Jin. I have read so much that I forgot about it.
The composition of the Manchus in the late Nurhaci period was complex, and they were basically an integration of various tribes in the Northeast, because eight banners were set up at that time, which also included Han and Mongolian military flags.
Later, when the ethnic groups were divided, many ethnic groups were removed from the collective name Manchus. Hezhe, Ewenki, etc., these people are actually close relatives of the Manchus.
The Eight Banners is not a division of ethnic groups, but a class of professional soldiers with complex composition.
Just say a few words, please don’t spray. I am known as the biggest tomato water gun, can you spray me?
