Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (Thirty) Two Unforgettable Maps
Wang Jiaping's words were very irritable, but Shen Yiguan had to respond. Especially Wang Jiaping mentioned that he would abdicate in favor of a worthy person. If Shen Yiguan did not make it clear that he had no intention of replacing him, he would not be able to get along in the Ming court. After all, No matter what the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were doing, they had to do enough superficial work.
"Yuanfu misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way." Shen Yiguan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Yuanfu, everyone, the original intention of what I said just now is not to question, let alone to hold accountable, but to state the facts.
Gao Nanning's illustrious achievements have been left in history, and no one will doubt this. Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that Annan was included, Liaodong was renewed, Ningxia was stabilized, Monan was unified... and even the Beijing camp was revived?
The reason why I said this just now is because I want to say that Gao Nanning's outstanding martial arts skills are actually due to the trust of the emperor and the planning of previous cabinet ministers.
It goes without saying that everyone knows how important the emperor's trust is to the achievements of his ministers. However, the strategic planning of ministers is often overlooked. Your Majesty, I have something to say about this.
Just now, Wang Yuanfu mentioned that the former Yuanfu was Duke Shen, and he mistakenly accused me of belittling Duke Shen. This statement is absurd - I thought Duke Shen's contribution was great, even as good as Gao Nanning!"
Shen Yiguan's words seemed to change so quickly that Wang Jiaping didn't understand how he went from praising Shen Shixing to praising Shen Shixing. However, Wang Jiaping knew that Shen Yiguan, as a member of the Heart School, disparaged The possibility of Shen Shixing is indeed relatively low, and it is normal to praise him. Of course, now we must first find out what Shen Yiguan wants to do.
"Shen Gong entered the cabinet very early, and he became an auxiliary minister at the turn of Long and Wan. By the time he became an official, he had assisted the emperor for twenty-six years. When Shen Gong entered the cabinet, I had only been in the imperial examination for two or three years. Looking back now , so sad." Shen Yiguan sighed.
He paused and then said: "He has been in the cabinet for a long time, and he has been the leader of the world for a long time. In the eleventh year of Wanli, Duke Dingfu of Zhang Puzhou in the former Yuan Dynasty resigned from the throne, and Duke Shen took the throne as the leader of the Jin Dynasty. This administration lasted for fifteen years, which is rare in the world.
Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, what major events happened during the fifteen years of Duke Shen’s reign? I think they are at least the following: restructuring of the capital, opening up of vassal bans, pacifying the rebellion in the northwest, reforming finances and taxation, establishing two prefectures, conquering the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and pacifying the Bozhou, the First World War in Korea...
You may say, aren't all the above achievements attributed to Gao Nanning? However, Gao Nanning has made so many achievements. At that time, he was the one who was sitting in the center to assist the emperor and to calm down the ministers. Wasn't it Duke Shen? ?
Ladies and gentlemen, in the past when the late Emperor Mu Miao was in power, who was the one who had the most merit in the tribute? Is it Fang Fengshi or Wang Chonggu? Neither of them. I would say that the first merit in the tribute was Gao Wenzhenggong, and the second merit was Zhang Wenzhonggong. From this point of view, It can be seen that the success of the work was definitely done by Gao Nanning, but the decision-making power lies in the center..."
When Shen Guanyi said this, everyone came to their senses. It turned out that he hoped to exalt Shen Shixing's "strategy-making" merit to overshadow his pragmatic "deeds."
However, this somewhat underestimated the heroes of the world. Before Wang Jiaping could speak, Liang Menglong still coughed and retorted slowly: "Of course the decision was a great achievement, but Mr. Shen Ge was not in the cabinet at that time, not even in the Sixth Department. I’m afraid I don’t know much about many things.”
Liang Menglong chuckled and said: "Most of the merits cited by Mr. Shen Ge were actually opposed by Duke Shen." When he said this, he slightly bowed his hands to the emperor, and then said: "I really want to talk about the merits of deciding the policy. In fact, most of these achievements can only be attributed to the Emperor."
Shen Yiguan obviously did not expect that his soft but strong move could be resolved so easily. Of course, this was mainly because of the problem Liang Menglong mentioned just now: "Old Shen Ge was not in the cabinet at that time, not even in the Sixth Department." He really I don’t know that Shen Shixing was opposed to most of those things.
In fact, if you really think about it, it is not difficult to understand. Unless the general trend is irresistible, how could Shen Shixing, as the leader of the Xin School, second the highly pragmatic suggestions?
It's a pity that although Shen Yiguan's political skills are quite good, he didn't do enough intelligence work, so he made such a mistake. He rambled here for a long time, but was blocked by Liang Menglong. It's really How embarrassing.
Zhu Yijun was quite happy, but he was the emperor after all, and the emperor must have the emperor's considerations and stance, but he could not express his attitude at this time. As an emperor, balancing the power and posture of his ministers is a basic skill, so not only could he not Sometimes he laughed at Shen Yiguan, and even tried to save Shen Yiguan.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand to stop the others who were about to speak, and said with final words: "Mr. Shen is a veteran of three dynasties. He has worked hard and made great achievements in serving the government for twenty-six years. I have already said these things in the imperial edict when I approved his appointment. Today, people No need to repeat the explanation.
As for Mr. Shen, if you just want to complain for Mr. Shen, I can only say that there is no need. The court has made a very clear assessment of Mr. Shen's merits. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. They should not be confused."
When Zhu Yijun said this, his tone suddenly changed and he said: "My dear friends, you may think that I have summoned you here today to discuss the Korean War, but this is not the case. As Mr. Shen said just now, I have already appointed Nanning Marquis with full authority for the Korean War. If we have a thorough plan, we will not interfere until the matter is completed. I have called all my dear friends to come here today because I have a rather interesting map for you to take a look at."
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, Chen Ju, the Chief of Ceremonies, coughed slightly and waved slightly to the side. The small yellow door opened the curtain on the wall and displayed two maps.
Hey, wasn't it said that there was one map? Why did it become two?
However, Zhu Yijun did not explain, but naturally pointed to the two maps one after another and said: "My dear friends, please look at this, this is Wang's map of Korea, and this is Li's map of Korea. Please look at these two maps carefully. , have you found any problems? Please look at this."
Zhu Yijun pointed to the large piece of northeastern Korea and said: "This piece of land belonged to the Jurchens during the Wang Dynasty's Goryeo Dynasty and did not belong to the territory of the Koryo Kingdom. But this same piece of land became part of the Joseon Kingdom during the Lee Dynasty's Joseon Dynasty. The territory is today’s northern Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So here’s the question, Lee’s Korea was founded almost at the same time as our Ming Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, Wang’s Korea did not have northeastern territory. During our Ming Dynasty, , Li's Korea suddenly gained territory in the Northeast, what happened?" After Zhu Yijun asked, he glanced at the cabinet ministers lightly.
Did the Ming Dynasty cede this land to North Korea? It is definitely not accurate to say that it was ceded, because North Korea did not have the ability to ask the Ming Dynasty to cede territory. But in fact, this area was indeed acquired by North Korea during the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.
.
From the perspective of future generations, this area has a natural port, Chongjin Port. If it belongs to China, it means that Jilin will have an outlet to the sea and will no longer be an inland province!
Why is all this happening? In fact, this event is indeed a historical fact, but China directly mentions it, and it is recorded in Korean history books as "Taizong gave the land", which means that Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty gave this piece of land to North Korea.
You ask who Ming Taizong is? In fact, he is Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. His original temple name was Taizong, but it was later changed to Chengzu during the Jiajing period.
So why did Emperor Zhu Di give this piece of land to North Korea? This involves a major event in the late Yuan Dynasty: the Red Turban Army's expedition to North Korea.
When people of later generations talk about Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Shicheng, they must be familiar with them. History buffs must have heard of Liu Futong and Han Shantong. However, if we talk about Mr. Guan and Po Tou Pan, many people must be familiar with them.
I'm confused. Who are these two? Judging from their names, they are too unconventional. Are they the heroic bandits in Water Margin?
That's not true. In fact, these two people are Liu Futong's generals. Mr. Guan's real name is Guan Duo, and Po Tou Pan's real name is Pan Cheng. As for the reasons for these nicknames, the history books have not recorded them, so future generations will naturally not know.
.
Why should we start talking about them? Because as the commander-in-chief of a Northern Expeditionary Army, Mr. Guan actually fought all the way to the Korean Peninsula, which was a military miracle in ancient China.
Since they can be called miracles, why are they unknown? Probably because the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" was compiled by the Ming Dynasty, so the deeds of these people were not written in detail, and when the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled, these people
His deeds have long been lost.
However, "History of Goryeo" records this event, which states: "The red thieves fake Pingzhang Pan Cheng, Sha Liu, Mr. Guan, Marshal Zhu and more than 100,000 people crossed the Yalu River", "Xin Chou, Sha Liu, Pan Pingzhang, Guan
Mr. and more than 300,000 thieves have penetrated into Wang Jing."
It turned out that not only was this Northern Expeditionary Army so powerful that it turned the Central Plains and the North upside down, but after their attack on the Yuan Dynasty was blocked, they actually turned their troops directly, walked through the Liaoxi Corridor, and captured Liaoyang City. Then, Mr. Guan
He led this partial division to become more and more courageous as he fought, and even crossed the Yalu River and invaded the Korean Peninsula!
You must know that logistics has always been a big problem in ancient society's expedition to the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, in Chinese history, only a few people such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Kublai Khan, and Huang Taiji succeeded.
However, according to the records in "History of Goryeo", these red scarf troops are completely rogue bandits. They "stayed in Wangjing for several months, killing cattle and horses to make skins for the city, pouring water into ice, so that no one can get along; they also slaughtered men and women, or
"Burning the breast milk of pregnant women for food, in order to indulge in cruelty." Of course, considering the political integrity of the Korean people, these descriptions may be a bit exaggerated, or even simply framed.
In short, in the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the 40,000 Red Scarf Army led by Mr. Guan and Po Tou Pan actually sang all the way and invaded the Korean Peninsula. What is even more bizarre is that the Goryeo army was vulnerable, and the Red Scarf Army actually captured the King of Goryeo.
Xijing - today's Pyongyang.
You know, this happened in 1356! In this year, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet conquered Nanjing, and he did not even have his own base, but the Red Scarf Army had turned the entire north upside down.
However, in fact, the time was not very mature at this time. The Yuan army was still very powerful at that time, so the Yuan army quickly counterattacked, just like the Qing army counterattacked the Taiping Army in the Northern Expedition. Starting from Zhili, the Red Scarf Army
They suffered defeats one after another.
In the end, the Yuan army conquered Bianliang. Liu Futong's Northern Expedition not only failed to conquer most of the capital, but also lost Bianliang, the base camp of his rebel army. The next Northern Expedition would have to wait until twelve years later, when Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da to the Northern Expedition.
That's when the time is ripe.
Chinese history will obviously only record Xu Da's Northern Expedition, and will not record the rest, let alone care about the Korean Peninsula. However, a great general appeared on the Korean Peninsula at this time, and it was this man who defeated the Red Turban Army.
, who has risen through the ranks with his military exploits, who is he? Li Chenggui.
When Li Chenggui rose to prominence, he was only twenty-seven years old. At that time, he was just an ordinary general, born into a powerful local... he could be considered a small warlord.
At that time, the Chinese Red Scarf Army invaded the Goryeo Kingdom and conquered Pyongyang, Xijing. The situation was extremely critical. Since Goryeo was a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Goryeo urgently asked for help from the Yuan Dynasty. However, the Yuan Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself at this time and obviously had no interest in saving him, so they could only let them
Self-rescue. So Goryeo Prime Minister An You and General Li Bangshi led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Red Turban Army.
Coincidentally, the Goryeo Dynasty at this time was the same as North Korea in previous years. It had been at peace for too long, and the army had no combat effectiveness at all. These hundreds of thousands of troops could not defeat a mere 40,000 Red Turban Army, and were defeated by the Red Turban Army.
He was beaten and taught a lesson that made him doubt his life.
At the critical moment, Li Chenggui stood up. He said that although these Red Scarf troops were coming fiercely, logistics was a big problem, and they had always relied on war to support war. To put it bluntly, they relied on robbery to maintain their combat effectiveness, so they only needed to cut off the following.
road, and then defeat them.
This is the truth, but as the saying goes, you can only tell the truth without practicing the tricks. So, Li Chenggui led the 2,000 elite soldiers he trained to go to war, first cutting off the Red Scarf Army's retreat, and then seducing the troops in Xijing.
The Red Scarf Army went out to fight outside the city and fought a battle outside Xijing City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the critical moment of the war, the Goryeo army finally arrived. The two armies worked together to defeat the Red Scarf Army. Li Chenggui even personally led the death squad to climb the Xijing tower and recapture Xijing.
The young future relied on a small group of elite soldiers to defeat the invading enemy. Is this record similar to Li Shimin's Battle of Hulao Pass? Yes, the bravery Li Chenggui showed on the Korean Peninsula at that time was like hundreds of years ago.
Li Shimin, who had determined the Central Plains in the previous battle.
After this battle, Li Chenggui became famous. In addition, the activities of the Red Scarf Army successfully freed the Kingdom of Goryeo from the control of the Yuan Dynasty and laid the foundation for self-reliance. At this time, King Gongmin of Goryeo himself was mediocre and cruel, and many of his achievements were great.
Many generals were suspected by him and were killed one after another, such as Zheng Shiyun, An Cong, Jin Depei, Li Fangshi, etc., but Li Chenggui was always favored and was not killed.
The Goryeo Dynasty valued him very much and ordered him to lead his army to seize the opportunity to recover the city captured by Nahachu, the king of Liaodong. Nahachu was a famous powerful official in the late Yuan Dynasty and had occupied Liaodong for a long time. He was later defeated and captured by the Ming Dynasty in 1375. At this time, he
, he is still the king and hegemon in Liaodong, and he is arrogant.
Li Chenggui adopted a night attack, crossed the mountains in the middle of the night, and personally led 600 elite soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night. Later, he faked defeat to lure the Yuan army and shot to death an elite general of the Yuan Dynasty.
After that, Li Chenggui defeated Nahachu in the Battle of Hamhung. Nahachu failed completely and withdrew from the Korean Peninsula. He expressed his willingness to reconcile with Li Chenggui. Soon he returned the two cities to King Gongmin of Goryeo and praised Li Chenggui.
Said: "You are young and can use troops like a god. You are a true genius. You will be responsible for great things in your country."
In other words, although King Gongmin was fatuous in the late Goryeo Dynasty, relying on Li Chenggui's military exploits, Goryeo, a small country that had been difficult to expand its territory next to the Chinese Empire for a long time, actually completed a rare territory expansion.
Just as Annan's southern expedition destroyed the Champa Kingdom, the main direction of Goryeo's expansion was in the north. Li Chenggui defeated Nahachu, and Goryeo conquered all the land in the lower reaches of the Yalu River. However, Li Chenggui was not satisfied and wanted to conquer the upper reaches of the Yalu River.
Jurchens, and finally conquered the Jurchens in the Yalu River and the Jurchens in the Changbai Mountains, and their territory expanded to the Changbai Mountains.
However, a problem arose. In 1368, the once mighty Yuan Dynasty perished and was replaced by the Ming Dynasty. What Li Chenggui did not expect in particular was that the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition actually conquered Dadu in one fell swoop, which shocked him.
After that, in 1375, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and Naha went out to attack Liaodong. However, at this time, King Gongmin of Goryeo was addicted to expanding his territory. After his assassination, his successor Wang You was also addicted to expansion and even ordered Li Chenggui to send troops to attack Liaodong, and with
The Ming Dynasty went to war.
Li Chenggui had fought with the Red Scarf Army in his early years and knew the combat effectiveness of the Red Scarf Army. Now that he wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, he thought about it for a long time and finally came up with an idea.
After that, Li Chenggui stationed troops on Waihua Island on the Yalu River for a long time. He refused to send troops no matter what, even if the King of Korea urged him to do so. Finally one day, something unexpected happened. Li Chenggui sent troops, but he did not go north.
Instead, he headed south - he directly conquered the royal city and overthrew the Wang clan of Goryeo.
Previously, King Gongmin of Goryeo killed most of the generals in the name of rebellion, so now his son really became a loner. Perhaps what he never dreamed of was that Li Chenggui, whom he trusted the most, actually rebelled and established the
new country.
After overthrowing Wang's Goryeo, Li Chenggui turned around and wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, asking for repair. Speaking of the changes in Goryeo at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also surprised. He had long heard that King Gongmin of Goryeo was a madman and had long-term expansion.
He was cruel and cruel by nature. Fortunately, he was assassinated later, so Zhu Yuanzhang also valued Li Chenggui very much.
However, since Li Chenggui founded the country, it would be inappropriate to use Goryeo as the name of the country. Therefore, Li Chenggui was very aware of current affairs and sent someone to discuss it with Zhu Yuanzhang.
At that time, some people suggested calling it "Sanhan", and some suggested calling it "Guning" because there was an ancient country called "Guning Gaya". Some people suggested calling it North Korea because the earliest political power in this land was the ancient North Korea established by Jizi.
, has a history of 3,000 years, and the original meaning of "North Korea" is "North Korea and Japan are clear", and the meaning is also very good.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose "North Korea", so he gave Li Chenggui the national title "North Korea." At this point, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea had good relations. However, good relations returned to good relations, and Zhu Yuanzhang soon discovered that something was wrong. At that time, the northern part of North Korea was
Tielingwei in the north of Ping'an Road was originally a territory under the direct jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty, but at this time it was under the jurisdiction of North Korea.
However, the timing was not good at this time. In order to appease the newly born Korean regime of the Li family, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to take a step back and retreated Tieling Weibei to the north of the Yalu River and established it in Liaodong, which was later known as Tieling.
Zhu Yuanzhang also had another consideration at that time, that is, the Jurchens in the upper reaches of the Yalu River have always been difficult to manage, and Li's North Korea may not have a good way to deal with them, at least in the short term. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's military focus was on Yunnan, so
I ignored them for the time being and went to the Northeast. Sure enough, the Jurchens under the rule of Li's Korea later had many rebellions.
In fact, what was more important at that time was that the area where the Jurchens lived in the Northeast was not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty had no particularly suitable reason to stop North Korea. It was not until Emperor Zhu Di came to the throne that he sent people to appease the Jurchens in the Northeast, and established
The "Nuer Gandu Division" was established to govern the Northeast. At this point, all the Jurchens in the Northeast were under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the Ming Dynasty not only bordered Liaodong in the west, but also bordered North Korea on the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain in the east. So the problem came again. The land in the upper reaches of the Yalu River had been annexed by North Korea for a long time, which is the Xianjing that Zhu Yijun was pointing at now.
North Road area.
However, the main energy of the Ming Dynasty at this time was not in Korea, but in the Northern Yuan Dynasty - the Five Expeditions in Mobei. Therefore, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di decided to recognize the fait accompli and agreed to use the Yalu River as the boundary with Korea. The northern part belonged to the Ming Dynasty and the southern part belonged to Korea, which meant that he recognized
North Korea owns the land in the upper reaches of the Yalu River and the Changbai Mountains.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is also the reason why North Korea has always owned this land, that is, "Taizong gave the land" recorded in North Korean history books, which means that His Majesty Taizong has a large amount of
He gave us this land and did not start a war with us to grab it.
Finally, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shizong of Korea launched the Battle of the Zhupo River and defeated all the Jurchen strongholds on the south bank of the Yalu River and the Tumen River. Finally, he completed the conquest of all the south of the Yalu River and the Tumen River, and formally separated from the Ming Dynasty.
River and rule.
However, Zhu Di still kept an eye on it at the time. He set up the Jianzhou Guard on the Ming Dynasty land on the north bank of the Yalu River for the purpose of supervising North Korea on the south bank of the Yalu River. But no one may have thought that this Jianzhou Guard would be there hundreds of years later.
A Nurhaci appeared, but the Nurhachi in the original history became a rebel of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the history of the northward expansion of the Joseon Dynasty. In short, small countries also have ambitions to expand, but they are limited by their strength and most of them failed to succeed. The troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty provided Korea with an opportunity, so there were these two different views.
picture.
Although it involves a period of dusty history, the elders of the Ming Dynasty were all from the Hanlin Academy. They were top academics per capita, and they all knew about this period of history. Therefore, when Zhu Yijun laid out the map of Kantu, everyone knew what was going on.
The difference between the two Kantu maps is self-evident. What is important is the emperor's intention. This is the key.
There were some things that were not convenient for others to say, but Wang Jiaping, as the chief assistant, had to talk about them, so he asked: "As shown in the two pictures shown by the emperor, the northeastern part of Korea is not the homeland of Goryeo. Could it be that the emperor wants to take back this place?"
Zhu Yijun did not answer directly, but looked around at the other ministers and asked, "What do you think?"
This was a pressing question, and Liang Menglong, as the second assistant, had no choice but to speak after Wang Jiaping, saying: "The demarcation of the Yalu River is an old thing during the Yongle period. Chengzu's demarcation of this boundary was originally intended to reward North Korea for becoming a vassal. Now if we want to take it back
...I wonder if there is a reason why everyone can believe it?"
The third person in the cabinet was Gao Jingshi, but Gao Jingshi himself was not here, so he was skipped, and it was the turn of Zhao Zhigao, the bachelor of Wuyingdian, to express his position.
Zhao Zhigao said sickly: "The reason is easy to find, but if you want 'everyone can believe it', I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Very good, this is the most typical kind of "correct nonsense". If Zhu Yijun wanted to take back this land, the reasons would certainly be easy to find. For example, the Koreans themselves said that this land came from "the land given by Taizong".
That is to say, this land was "gifted" by Zhu Di. Since it was a gift, it can naturally be taken back. As the emperor of tomorrow, Zhu Yijun could theoretically even send an edict to North Korea, saying that this land will not be given to him now.
You guys.
But obviously, it is impossible to "convince everyone" by doing this. Your ancestors gave the land to the ancestors of the Korean king Li Xin. Why do you regret it for no reason? Where is the credibility of the Ming Emperor?
After Zhao Zhigao finished speaking, it was time for Shen Yiguan to express his position. Shen Yiguan likes to form cliques in the court, which shows that he is a very power-hungry person. Such a person is naturally very interested in "expanding territory" for the imperial court.
He was interested, so he immediately said: "Although it is difficult to find a reason why everyone is convinced, it cannot be said that there is no reason. I have two plans for the emperor's reference."
"I didn't say what I was going to do..." Zhu Yijun explained for a moment, but then he changed the topic and said, "But since Mr. Shen has a plan, you might as well talk about it and listen to it."
Shen Guan had been a lecturer and academic officer for many years, and he still knew something about the emperor. He smiled slightly and said: "As a plan, on the grounds that we have regained Wangjing for Korea twice, we will take Xianjing Road and other places in the northeastern part of Korea as a thank you gift."
.The kindness of rebuilding is so important. It is natural for our country to take a small amount of thanks as a gift. Who can blame me for using this as an excuse to take Xianjing and other places?"
"Well..." Zhu Yijun seemed to respond, but it didn't seem to be a response, and he didn't know what his intention was.
Seeing this, Shen Guanyi knew that although Zhu Yijun was not necessarily opposed to this approach, he was not particularly satisfied with it, so he said: "Second plan, the court will not take Xianjing Taoism, but take it from Jurchen tribes. Jurchens, my court's The barrier is also the most sufficient reason for choosing Xianjing Road.
There are three reasons: first, the place was the Jurchen land two hundred years ago, and the Jurchens took it and returned it to its original owner, which is natural and right;
Secondly, the Jurchen tribes have gone on many expeditions in recent years. This time, the Japanese also accepted orders from the Ming Dynasty and ordered their troops to participate in the war. Their loyalty should be rewarded, and they should be rewarded with the old Jurchen territory. It is reasonable and reasonable;
Thirdly, after many years of evolution, the Jurchen tribes now have four stronger forces, namely Yehe, Jianzhou, Hada, and Ula. Among them, Yehe and Hada can be regarded as the most loyal forces in Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. As a right-hand man, the Ula tribe is located in a remote area. Although they are both our imperial tributaries, it is difficult for them to play any role.
Among the four forces, Jianzhou is naturally the one that attracts the most attention. At that time, Jianzhou had very strong elite troops and had a vague tendency to rise. In order to weaken its power, Gao Nanning not only used tricks to alienate Jianzhou and Ye He, but also planned Later, Jianzhou was divided into two parts.
Although these measures are effective, the strength of Jianzhou's left guard Nurhachibu still outnumbers the right guard Shuerhaqi, which can be regarded as a major unstable factor in Liaodong and needs to be dealt with urgently.
Taking advantage of this situation, if the imperial court could exchange Xianjing Road and other places for Nurhaci to move south and return them to the current places of Jianzhou Zuowei, then Xianjing Road and other places would nominally return to the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhaci would abandon his old places and move to the Ming Dynasty. To occupy new territory, we need to spend more time consolidating it, so we won’t have the power to cause chaos in the Liao Dynasty. Isn’t this killing multiple birds with one stone?”
His words were much more practical than the previous statements, and even inspired Zhou Yong, the newly promoted Dongge bachelor who ranked lowest in the cabinet.
Zhou Yong immediately added: "Old Shen Ge's words are reasonable, and in my humble opinion, I'm afraid there are more than just the benefits mentioned by Old Shen Ge. I think that once this move is successful, the original land of Jianzhou Zuowei will be restored." Quite useful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, the court could direct it, send officials to govern it, or set up a new Han military garrison, as in the story of Kuandian Six Forts; or it could also use it as a reward , used to reward Ye He and Hada Part Two.
Of course, if it is used as a reward, then there are two options: one is to directly reward, that is, to divide these areas to Ye He and Hada. However, the court must not be too fair. Instead, it should be given to Ye He, The rewards for the second part of Hada are quite different.
In this way, discord can arise between the two tribes, which will facilitate the court to support the weak and resist the strong, and ensure that the strength of each Jurchen tribe is balanced, so that Liaodong will naturally be peaceful.
The second is to order Ye He and the Hada Division to "move the town", giving up all or part of their original territory and moving south to the Jianzhou Zuowei Territory. The specific how to change the territory can be discussed slowly, but in short it still needs to be discussed. The main point is that the three tribes of Yehe, Hada and Nurhachi are adjacent to each other and close to the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
In this way, Ula is too far away, so we can ignore it for the time being. Manchuria will become a tripartite force, and the most convenient way is to unite vertically and horizontally. At this time, I, the Ming Dynasty, have transcended the world and only need to ensure that none of the three parts is completely annexed, that is, This will prevent Manchuria from being unified, and Liaodong will always be safe and peaceful."
Zhou Yong was the last to join the cabinet, and he joined the cabinet largely because of his good luck. He caught up with Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue's fall due to black swan events, so his status has always been embarrassing. The attitude of the emperor and other cabinet officials towards him
Although there is nothing wrong with it on the surface, in fact it is still somewhat contemptuous.
Therefore, Zhou Yong himself also hopes to have a chance to show his face. He was quite satisfied with what he said just now, and after saying it, the effect was indeed good. Judging from the faces of the cabinet ministers, no matter how they expressed their opinions before, after hearing this
Everyone couldn't help but look thoughtful after saying this, which showed that everyone thought it was worth a try, but Zhou Yong proposed more than one plan, so everyone needed to weigh it.
Zhu Yijun seemed a little moved, and said thoughtfully: "Then what choice does Zhou Aiqing think is most beneficial to our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhou Yongdao: "If it is most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, it is natural for the Jurchens to move south as a whole, that is, Nurhachi moved to the town of Xianjing Road, Yehe, and Hada moved southward to the vicinity of Jianzhou Zuowei in sequence.
However, how to allocate the territory needs to be carefully calculated. Otherwise, it might be okay to say that Hada's original territory was not large, but Yeheyuan's territory is quite large. It may be difficult to move south without harming their interests. This will inevitably lead to hidden dangers.
Already."
