Chapter 149 Good Chess
This monk has been in power for four full years. Even if he was really a holy monk, he has already been eroded by ordinary glory and wealth.
According to the spy report, since Xin Tun set up the Tianmin Bianzheng Capital Prison two years ago, he distributed the land of the big manor owner to the poor and restored the manor owner's private slaves to be good people. "saint".
The king of Goryeo also believed that Xin Tun trusted him even more because he was "unaffected by salary, unappreciated, and unaffected by his hometown". These Koryo kings did not know.
It can be seen that this person's ambition and desire for power are growing day by day, but Confucianism is also prevalent in Goryeo. Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism was introduced to Goryeo from the Yuan Dynasty, and the righteousness of monarchs and ministers still occupies the mainstream. Xin Tun has no name to rebel.
And Zhu Biao planned to let the Daming Mission go to interview the King of Koryo, and privately asked Yao Guangxiao to bring his letter to Xin Tun, telling him that Daming was going to support him to become the king of Koryo.
As for why he supported him, the reason is very simple. The royal family of Goryeo has been married to the Yuan Dynasty for several generations. Under the blood connection, I am afraid that there will be a secret heart of disobedience.
Of course, this kind of talk is just a step up for both parties. Xin Tun is now in an extremely embarrassing situation. He has a high position and power but is subject to the King of Korea, and he has offended too many people. Once he is taken back from power in the future, he will surely die place.
He is no longer that lonely monk. With a wife and children, he naturally has to plan for his own blood, not to mention power, once he has grasped it, he cannot let it go willingly.
Moreover, after seeing Xin Tun's reform measures, Zhu Biao felt that this person still has some skills. Just like what Zhu Biao said before, Goryeo's reform line is correct, but they are too anxious, obviously it will take decades to slow down Cooking, but it has to be completed in a few years.
King of Korea's wife died, which made her brain a little troubled.
Unless he just wants to finish Goryeo on purpose, and then fish in troubled waters, after all, he has the reputation of a "sage" among the Goryeo folk.
It's a pity that the establishment of Lee's Korea means that he failed in the end. Zhu Biao actually didn't know this person's historical experience.
But this person is indeed a good pawn, capable and ambitious, and his status is just right now.
Li Chenggui is just a Korean general now, and Zhu Biao doesn't have the energy to support him, and even plans to kill him to save him trouble.
The general plan has been finalized, and the specifics must depend on how the dispatched people will implement it. After all, it is so difficult to deliver news. The Korean news that Zhu Biao reads now is all from a month ago, and the latest one has not yet been delivered.
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing. This is really good. Although Goryeo is small, it is also a country with its own cultural heritage. It is not easy to deal with it perfectly. Zhu Biao himself must not go there.
There are quite a few people in the court who can do this. After all, they all started as rebels, but their own official duties cannot be separated from them, so it is a coincidence that Yao Guangxiao came, just when Zhu Biao needed him most.
Of course, the specifics will depend on the conversation with Yao Guangxiao tomorrow, but Zhu Biao thinks there is no problem, Yao Guangxiao is not a fool.
What's more, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, if Yao Guangxiao really doesn't know how to praise, Zhu Biao can only send him on the road.
Zhu Biao got up and left the Wenhua Hall. After Liu Jin asked, he went to pass the meal. Zhu Biao walked to the gazebo and sat down. Summer has arrived and the weather is getting hotter.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and thought about Japan silently. After taking Koryo, Japan should be dealt with. The Yuan Dynasty also thought so. , Held two battles of the Eastern Expedition.
The purpose of the Yuan Dynasty at that time was not only to conquer Japan, but also to consume the strength of the newly attached army of the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, there were too many of them.
In the first battle, the Japanese army was at a disadvantage under the power of the Yuan army's infantry tactics and the power of gunpowder weapons that shook the sky. Kublai Khan ordered the conquest of the Japanese army, which was a coalition army composed of Mongolian, Han, and Koryo armies. The Mongolian army is far superior to Japan not only in combat effectiveness, but also in tactics.
But it turned out that the Japanese army, which was firmly guarding the mountains, waited for a typhoon, which directly overturned more than 200 warships of the Yuan army. Coupled with the tenacious will of the Japanese army, Xin Du retreated back to China on the remaining ships overnight.
The second time became famous, a typhoon that lasted for two days, also known as "Kamikaze", attacked the Yuan army fleet and destroyed most of the ships.
In fact, it cannot be said that God helped Japan. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty's ignorance of the ocean climate was also crucial, and its ships were indeed somewhat fragile.
So Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to deal with Japan. After all, battles at sea were needed, and warships and well-trained soldiers were also crucial. Moreover, there were too many accidents on the sea, and Ming could not afford to fail an expedition now.
Zhu Biao plans to go to Tanghe after dealing with the relocation matters. He has been in charge of resisting Japanese pirates for some time, and Tanghe's naval power is also under the control of Daming.
I heard that many Dongying people have been recruited and enslaved. Zhu Biao plans to select some suitable people and let them go back to their hometown to do things after training for a period of time.
It is a good way to rule the barbarians with the barbarians. Those who can become Japanese pirates cannot survive in their hometowns, and they cannot have any feelings of loyalty to the emperor. There are no better spies than them.
After a while, Liu Jin led the little eunuchs back with dishes. There are only four dishes for dinner today. For Zhu Biao's current physical needs, eating most of them is no pressure.
After dinner, Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin: "How is Quan Xu, is there any news?"
Liu Jin bowed back: "I haven't heard from him since I left in a hurry last month. Why don't I ask Mao Xiang?"
Zhu Biao waved his hand, Quan Xu is the orphan of Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother, and once served as Zhu Biao's pro-military commander.
Just now Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had his own arrangements for the various Mongolian ministries, so he must have let Quan Xu handle it. This is a rare temper.
Seeing Zhu Biao waving his hand, Liu Jin stopped talking about this matter, but said: "Master, these are trivial matters. Your wedding is the most important thing for my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I can't get involved in the big wedding. Those things are handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and I care about what they do."
Liu Jin smiled and said: "I heard that the Kaiping Palace has been in operation since last month, and I have sent people to the south of the Yangtze River several times, just to prepare for the dowry of the princess."
