Zhu Qizhen was able to return to the Ming Dynasty alive from Ye Xian's hands. His IQ was not low, and he actually knew the method.
It's easy to say.
Join vertically and horizontally!
It is impossible to achieve the goal of returning to Gyeonggi by relying solely on Taiwan's power.
So we need allies.
Looking at the foreign countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, there are really too many that can be used by Zhu Qizhen. Because of the strong foreign policy after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, among the foreign countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, except North Korea, none of them are afraid of or worried about the Ming Dynasty.
But at the same time, these foreign countries can also pose threats to the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention the Li dynasty in Annan was a powerful enemy beside the Ming Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty annexed the Hu Dynasty of Annan. In the sixteenth year of Yongle, Le Li rebelled against the Ming Dynasty in Lam Mountain and called himself the "King of Pingding". In the 22nd year of Yongle, he occupied the central area of Annam and then the Eastern Capital (now Hanoi).
In the 22nd year of Yongle's reign, Zhu Di died in Yumuchuan.
Renzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne.
He died again soon after.
When Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the situation at home and abroad was complicated, so he changed his strategy towards Annan and named Li Li's puppet monarch Chen Song the king of Annan. The Ming army withdrew from Jiaozhi in the second year of Xuande.
But Chen Song died immediately.
How could a founding hero like Li Li, like Cao Cao, allow Chen Song to secure the throne?
Li Li issued the "Ping Wu Da Gao" to declare his achievements in reviving the country and the rationality of establishing a political power. He proclaimed himself emperor in the third year of Xuande, changed his name to Shuntian, and became the later Li Taizu.
The Ming Dynasty did not recognize its status and demanded that the descendants of the Chen Dynasty be made kings of Annam. Le Li submitted a petition saying that he could not find any descendants of the Chen Dynasty clan. The Ming Dynasty had to compromise and made Le Li the King of Annam.
In the example of tribute, the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in Annan's internal affairs and maintained peace.
Li Li rebuilt the national structure, set up imperial examinations to select officials as officials, invited teachers to promote Confucianism, formulated laws based on the criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty, divided the country into five lanes for governance, and distributed land to ministers, the elderly, the weak, orphans and widows.
For a time, Annan's national power soared.
After Li Li's death, his son Li Yuanlong came to the throne. As an adult, he liked women. In 1442, he forced the maid Ruan who served Ruan Jian to accompany him. Soon after, Li Yuanlong died suddenly.
His son Le Bang Ji came to the throne as Renzong of the Le Dynasty. He was only two years old at the time. He was regent by the Queen Mother Xuan Ci. In the early days, Le Renzong was relatively peaceful and prosperous internally, and even expanded to Champa. In 1459, Li Yimin, king of Lang Son, launched a mutiny to kill Renzong and seize the throne.
Soon after he ascended the throne, the ministers Ruan Chi and Ding Lie killed Li Yimin and made Li Sicheng, the fourth son of Taizong, the emperor.
It is for Le Thanh Tong.
From this temple name, we know that Li Sichen is a very awesome person.
He was deeply influenced by Confucianism. After he came to the throne, he began to reform Annan based on the Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty in China. He believed that government affairs should be run by people with moral character rather than people from wealthy families. In order to allow more people from outside wealthy families to become officials
, Li Sicheng restarted the imperial examination system, conducted censuses in various places, established extensive Confucian temples to respect Confucianism, stopped the construction of new Buddhist and Taoist temples, and restricted monks from purchasing new properties.
Annan entered its peak period, fought several foreign battles, conquered Ailao, and occupied the city, all with great success.
With Annan's strong rise, the conflict between it and Ming Dynasty will only continue to intensify.
So Zhu Qizhen thought that he could take advantage of Annan.
One Annan is definitely not enough.
Xie Wan said that the southern gentry in the Ming Dynasty were indeed the first choice. As long as they could get widespread support from the southern gentry, money, food, and people would no longer be a problem.
But those scholars are not so easy to fool.
Especially in the current situation, until the southern gentry see no hope of their own restoration, they will definitely not end up.
Therefore, we have to find help besides Annan.
for example……
Mobei!
The Oara tribes had been defeated by Zhu Jianji, but it was only a defeat without damaging the roots. In the winter of the 17th year of Jingtai, a lot of Oara tribes starved to death and froze to death. There were many conflicts within the tribes. The new leaders of the tribes
In order to stabilize their rule, they can only pass on the contradictions to the Ming Dynasty. This will provide an opportunity to persuade them to continue to invade the south this year.
There are Annan and Olay tribes, but it is not enough.
There must also be Japan and Jurchen!
Japan is a country of tigers and wolves, a despicable country. Although the peace trade allows Japan to trade with the Ming Dynasty through normal channels, if they can take the opportunity to add insult to injury, they will definitely like it.
Moreover, Japan is currently under the Ashikaga Shogunate, with unified political power and strong national power.
In the hands of Li Manzhu, the Jurchens became increasingly powerful. The growing population of the tribe and the shortage of resources made the conflict between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty irreconcilable.
There must be a fight.
In the same way, because the Maoli children's territory is just outside the Great Wall, and there is no geographical buffer between it and the Ming Dynasty Guancheng, the living space and pressure for survival are greater, and a battle between the Maoli children and the Ming Dynasty is inevitable!
Annan encroached on the Ming Dynasty from the south, the Jurchen cavalry annexed Liaodong, the Oara tribes and Maoli Hai invaded Xuanfu, Hetao, and Hami from the south, and Japan aggressively invaded coastal ports. The Ming Dynasty will be besieged on all sides.
At this time, the southern gentry may be changed by the situation and support their restoration and strive to gain the merit of supporting the dragon. Then they will lead an army of 50,000, whether they land from Fujian or by sea from various ports in Shandong, they will definitely achieve great results.
!
After Zhu Qizhen said this, Xie Wan was also shocked.
Baozong is really not just talking about it.
If he really succeeds, there is indeed hope for restoration!
Since Baozong said this, Xie Wan could not object and bowed, "Your Majesty has carefully considered and made a good plan to restore the country. It is impeccable in all aspects, but there is one thing. Our army needs to be in Annan, the Oara tribes, the Jurchens and the
After Japan and other forces invaded the Ming Dynasty, they raised their flag to counterattack the mainland."
Fan Biao was a straightforward man and couldn't help but ask: "Can Annan, the Oara tribes, Maori children, Jurchens and Japan really be persuaded?"
Don't forget who your opponent is.
It's Ming Dynasty.
It was the Ming Dynasty that had just swept through the Oara tribes outside the Pass, integrated the six tribes in the capital, and regained military power.
Such a Ming Dynasty can be compared to the Ming Dynasty in Yongle and Xuande periods.
No matter how powerful Annan is, no matter how ignorant the Jurchens are, no matter how ambitious Japan is, no matter how ignorant the Oara tribes are about life and death, we still have to consider whether we dare to find another time to anger the giant Ming Dynasty.
Xie Wan glanced at Fan Biao.
If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.
Let the Baozong perform, so that you and I can have more stages and earn a good impression on the prince.
Fan Biao suddenly became silent.
Zhu Qizhen did not notice this detail and said to Fan Biao: "What General Fan said is not unreasonable. It is indeed not easy to convince these foreigners, but everything in the world is for profit. As long as you have the will, there is nothing you can't do."
What's more, that bastard Zhu Jianjin is now actively reforming. He has established the Ministry of Agriculture, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the Academy of Engineering Sciences, and has also imposed a sea ban. Under this series of operations, Ming's foreign attitude will only become stronger. Countries such as Japan and Annan,
Aren't you worried that the Ming Dynasty will embezzle them?"
Know it with reason, move it with benefit.
Big deal...
The worst case scenario is to reach an alliance with them. Once the Ming Dynasty is restored, the Ming Dynasty will give up many benefits to Japan, Annan, Jurchen and Oara tribes, such as assigning Liaodong to the Jurchen.
I can't believe they are not tempted.
Once this matter is successfully managed, restoration will be a great success!
