Chapter 514 The Land of Three Hans
Li Renren is the grandson of Li Zhaonian, the famous minister of Korea Xingshan, the son of Li Bao, and the younger brother of Li Renfu. .
Now it seems that he had premeditated and contacted Wang Xuan in advance with the help of Zhu Biao's layout. According to the secret letter sent by Jiang Side, Wang Xuan, whom Li Renren had already coaxed, regarded him as his father's advice, which is why he insisted on resisting the Queen Mother Mingde. The reason why Wang Xuan was elected to the top position.
There is a problem with Wang Yu's identity. This is not a secret in the upper echelons of Goryeo, but no matter what the rumors are, Wang Zhuanming has only such an heir on the surface. It's not enough to prove it.
The key evidence that really holds the secret of Wang Xuan's life experience has been controlled by Yao Guangxiao arranged by Zhu Biao in advance, so as long as Daming's attitude is tough, and with the cooperation of the aristocratic family headed by Li Renren, Wang Xuan's ascendancy is already unstoppable.
As for Li Chenggui, Zhu Biao has also let people contact him. This person's current ambitions are still limited, and he is not very resistant to Zhu Biao's solicitation.
Last year, Li Chenggui used 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to cross the Yalu River from the northeast to attack Dongning Prefecture. Li Wulu Timur, the Tongzhi of Dongning Prefecture under Naha, fled to Yuluoshan City. Li Chenggui's ice front once reached Liaoyang, with a remarkable reputation .
Was praised by Naha Chu, "You are young and use soldiers like a god, you are a real genius, and you will be responsible for great things in your country."
Zhu Biao's plans for Goryeo will naturally not ignore the historical Korean Taejo, but he will not pay too much attention to it. Although Li Chenggui has shown his talents, he is just a new star in the Goryeo army, and his reputation is gradually rising. However, the general trend failed.
The situation in Goryeo was at the end of the dynasty. Without Li Chenggui, there would be Wang Chenggui and Zhao Chenggui. Just like Zhu Biao now, if he is willing, it is all right to support Li Ren to take the top position. The current situation makes heroes.
It's not that I look down on anyone, but the current situation and heroes are like Bole and Maxima. The combination of the two can shake the world. Otherwise, in a stable and rigid system, Maxima will be humiliated at the hands of slaves and die in a stable. between.
Zhu Biao now cares more about the attitude of Li Renren and other aristocratic families. Among the two classes of ministers who seek rebellion by Xin Tun, there must be a large group of Xin Tun's followers who follow him. Zhu Biao naturally has ideas about the vacancy of this position.
Whether it is Jiang Side or Yao Guangxiao, they have stayed in Goryeo for so long, so naturally they have taken in a lot of opportunistic people, who are basically from commoner backgrounds, and their official positions are not high now.
The selection and appointment system of officials in Korea has long been rigid. Even if they serve as dogs for aristocratic families, it is difficult for them to find a way out. It may be a waste of effort to work for a lifetime. The children are blamed.
So these people took advantage of Jiang Side and Dao Yan's network, put their wealth and lives on their own, and what they wanted was a chance to break through the barriers and rise to the top.
Besides this group of people, there are also some Xin Tun’s henchmen. These people are desperate. This is what Zhu Biao likes the most. If he is from a wealthy family, he will have some concerns.
How could it be possible for Zhu Biao to plan for such a long time just for the sake of fame? If it was just for this, it would take him so much effort? Goryeo was originally a vassal state of Daming, and it was only natural to obey his words in name.
So Zhu Biao could foresee that after Wang Xuan came to power, the honeymoon period between him and the noble family of Korea would be over, and the enemies of unity would be gone, and the remaining two would be natural rivals.
Zhu Biao is a natural and sacred dragon crossing the river, and the aristocratic Korean family is a deep-rooted local snake. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but if you want to tear your face, it can only be resolved through political means.
It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to spend its troops to attack Goryeo, and the ruling and opposition parties will not support it. In terms of logic and legal system, Goryeo is a vassal state that comes to the court every year. common people.
If this Liezi is opened, then everyone in the other vassal states of Ming Dynasty will be in danger. Everyone will surrender and pay tribute for protection if they cannot defeat the Heavenly Dynasty, but if the Heavenly Dynasty has the intention of annexing them, then everyone will Would rather die than submit, no clan in any country would agree to give up the right to rule.
In reality, Daming was able to defeat Goryeo. Whether it was by Liaodong or by sea, the distance between the two countries is not far. Taking advantage of spring and summer, it is not difficult to invade Kaijing and capture the king of Goryeo. Things that the towel army can do, not to mention the prestige and prosperity of Daming.
But how to rule Goryeo is a big trouble. Whether it is the Goryeo clan of the aristocratic family or the merchants of the common people, they will not be willing to watch outsiders occupy the country. There will be an endless stream of organized and premeditated rebellion uprisings.
Daming at least had to garrison tens of thousands of troops in Koryo to stabilize the situation in the main cities of Koryo. The officials dispatched by Ming to govern Koryo would face many obstacles, and many decrees had no room for implementation.
With so much investment, Koryo is still not a rich country. The land of the Three Koreas is not a meeting place of four square boats and vehicles. …
According to Zhu Biao’s understanding through Jiang Side’s letter, the Goryeo court can’t collect the farmland tax by itself, let alone the Ming Dynasty’s collection, even if it collects some, it is not enough for the food and supplies of the garrison.
It was so difficult to make ends meet that decades of continuous relocation and relocation of the Ming Dynasty could truly digest Goryeo. If Daming is now in the middle and late stages, then Zhu Biao thinks it is still necessary.
But now it is the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the fertile farmland in the Ming Dynasty is short of people to cultivate. Where there is a surplus of people migrated to the bitter, cold and barren Goryeo, even if it is a rainy day, it should go to the Southeast Asian countries. At least the land is rich there.
Regarding Korea, Zhu Biao did not plan to use a large army to suppress the country. It would be simple and easy, but the loss was far greater than the expected benefits, and the gain outweighed the loss.
That's why Zhu Biao planned so patiently, in order to take over a Goryeo that the common people feel safe and support, rather than a Goryeo that hates Ming Dynasty, with the least cost and the most stable means.
Zhu Biaocai would not let Goryeo’s sharp social conflicts be transferred to himself, or let them erupt inside. Afterwards, Daming would use the attitude of a heavenly kingdom to appease the Goryeo people.
