600 Relying on the Sword in the East (1)
As the family law of the Zhu family, "The Emperor Ming Zu Xun" is also a national law. Unlike the Zhao family who hides family law in the deep palace and is not for external people, "The Emperor's Sutra" was published in the world as early as the Taizu Dynasty. This undoubtedly gave civil servants a sharp sword to correct the behavioral norms of the royal children, especially the emperor.
For Zhu Cilang, there are only two things that are related to "The Ancestral Teachings". One of them is the protective umbrella, that is, the crown prince is outside, and the emperor cannot arrest and punish. The other is the shackles, that is, the country that cannot be conquered for fifteen.
However, the second article was not impossible to avoid. Emperor Taizu Gao listed Annan as an unsuppressible country, but when it was Chengzu, he included Annan in the territory, established the Jiaozhi Governor's Office, and sent officials to govern. The famous Xie Jin once went to Jiaozhi to be a county magistrate. Of course, he was exiled because of the failure of the dynasty struggle.
Zhu Cilang actually did this kind of thing himself.
That is Ryukyu.
"The Instructions of the Emperor Ming Ancestor" lists two Ryukyu as unscrupulous countries. One of them is the Da Ryukyu, where the prince and his accompanying ministers entered the Imperial Academy to study. This obviously refers to the Sanshan Kingdom of the Ryukyu Islands, because there is no "prince" in Taiwan, and no one comes to study in the Ming Dynasty.
The other is Xiao Liuqiu, who has no tribute.
No matter which Ryukyu is a country that cannot be conquered, it is a foreign country that the Ming Dynasty basically does not interfere. Zhu Cilang changed Xiao Liukyu's name to "Taiwan", so he could send troops to the East China Sea with justification. The court officials were also indifferent to this, and even the Jiangnan newspaper did not make unpleasant sounds.
Of course, this may also be because the recovery of Taiwan is mainly related to the Fujian family. They either succumbed to the tyranny of the crown prince. Or they saw the benefits of Taiwan's opening of the port, but there was no reason to yell everywhere.
North Korea is different.
During the Taizu period, Li Chenggui deposed the young master of Goryeo and claimed to be "true and inform the state affairs" and sent envoys to ask for the country's name in Ming Dynasty. Taizu was given the title of "Dongyi only known as Korea as Mei". The King of Korea was the prince of the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed the treatment of a prince to show preferential treatment.
Regarding the origin of the Korean nation, Jizi was still the ancestor of the country in the Ming Dynasty, until China declined later. The legend of Tanjun Korea gradually became popular. Today, Koreans not only regarded themselves as Jizi, built temples and worshiped them, and named them "Zenzu", but also regarded the legend of Tanjun Korea as absurd and could not be verified. Some people also believed that even if Tanjun really existed, they were just a wilderness and could not be compared with the Bazhao's enlightened Jizi.
This sense of identity from national roots made North Korea a semi-independent vassal state. In the Ming Dynasty, North Korea used the Ming Dynasty's reign title, the Ming Dynasty's clothing and etiquette, and the "Ming Law" as national law. The king accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty and was controlled by the governor of Denglai.
The language and characters are also best. The pronunciation of Chinese characters is already inferior. As for King Zhuangxian of Korea, the so-called King Sejong, the pinyin proverb invented by the so-called King Sejong, is even a writing symbol used by inferior talents.
In this case, if the Ming Dynasty really wants to annex North Korea, North Korea may be half-super. As for the Korean nobles, the two classes and the middle class, there will most likely be a large number of loyal ministers and filial sons who contribute to "national integration".
However, North Korea is too familiar with the Ming Dynasty. Any scholar knows that there is a vassal state in the east called Korea. The country is taught by Jizi, and the "Hong Fan" is the best. If the troops are sent rashly to recover North Korea, it will definitely cause a great response in the country. In particular, Emperor Taizu Gao has already said, "It is also a shame for me to launch a war to attack lightly."
...
"This Zhao Qiming is really a broom in his butt - pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! The general has been here no less than five times, but he has avoided him!" The waiter who accompanied him couldn't help complaining.
Chen De's face was gloomy. He was in his early twenties and was most unbearable to act. If it weren't for the story of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", he might have really burned Zhao Qiming's thatched Cottage. Especially after being exiled to North Korea, he was filled with annoyance and regret every day and night, and there was a sense of evil fire in his heart that could not be vented.
Chen De recalled the time when he was following the crown prince and listening to the teachings. He remembered Xiao Mo. Xiao Donglou was just a new rank at that time, but now he has been demoted to the Dongyi land. Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou have both become generals and become famous. Such a big contrast made him unable to swallow this and vowed to make some achievements in North Korea.
However, North Korea is a more barren place than Liaodong. The people are lazy and cannot stand the training. Even with the so-called strong soldiers here, Chen De felt that even the miners of the Liaodong Division were inferior to those of the Liaodong Division. It is no wonder that the Japanese almost destroyed the country with only 140,000 troops.
Just when Chen De was almost desperate, someone told him a news: There was a wise man from the Ming Dynasty in the far suburbs of Pyongyang Prefecture. He did not say anything about giving medicine on weekdays, but also taught for the children of villagers without restraint, and was deeply loved by the people.
If such a "membersman" existed, Chen De would of course rush from Hanyang to Pyongyang to seek a meeting. After he was exiled, although he was very famous and was admiring the Korean troops, the entire North Korea could only mobilize more than a dozen guards brought from Liaodong and the 500 Korean soldiers trained in more than a year.
As for civil servants, that was not something he could mobilize. And everyone was clamoring for the lack of staff, so how could he be willing to divide resources to help him? At the same time, because these civil servants vigorously collected Han people who could be recruited in North Korea, Chen De felt more and more hungry about the wise man named Zhao Qiming.
Unfortunately, wise men have a pathological mentality of avoiding the world and have to be forced to come out. Zhao Qiming is even more terminally ill. Chen De has been there five times, and each time there is only one Korean boy guarding the door. He doesn't know about it after asking any questions. Even Zhao Xiucai is still unknown.
Mao Shi followed Chen De, but he was a little thoughtful. After he was sent to the Liaodong Division, he was taken care of by Chen De, so he did not suffer much, and he was proud to continue to lead the troops. After Chen De was exiled to Korea for withdrawing troops and losing territory, Mao Shi felt guilty towards Chen De and was always annoyed that he did not supervise the battle himself, and he was defeated, so he requested to follow Chen De into Liao, and obtained the consent of the Liaodong side.
Of course, the transfer of a garrison soldier does not require too high-level approval. If Xiao Donglou had not been particularly concerned about Mao Shi, he would not have even seen relevant documents.
"General," Mao Shi called Chen De after birth, "Something is wrong."
"What?" Chen Delema stopped and turned around and asked.
"I didn't see his cow today." Mao Shi said in a deep voice.
"So what?" Chen De disagreed. The cows were living creatures. They might have gone out to eat grass by themselves, they might have been borrowed from their neighbors to work, or they might have been slaughtered and eaten meat due to greed... Is it strange if you didn't see it?
"Zhao Qiming is an outsider, and the villagers said he has no land, so why should he raise cattle?" Mao Shi said.
"Car?" a servant said in a low voice.
Mao Shi turned to the attendant, but didn't laugh at him, just said, "Why did we see him keeping the cow at home in the last two times?" He said to Chen De again: "I think it's probably two things, one is milking and the other is pulling a cart."
Chen De thought a little: "According to this point, he is unbearable and wants to escape!"
"Not bad." Mao Shi said: "We might as well kill and follow the boy, and most likely we can find Mr. Zhao's hiding place."
Chen De twisted a wisp of horse's mane and sighed, "Why do you have to do this? Since he is determined not to use it for me, let's find another way."
"What does it matter if I am a sinner?" Mao Shi said: "General is in his prime, do you really want to spend it here?"
Chen De's heart moved and finally shook his head.
Mao Shi gritted his teeth lightly, suddenly turned his horse's head, and ran towards the way he came without saying a word.
Chen De subconsciously chased after two steps, but finally stopped.
"General, will we follow us?" asked the follower.
"Go back to the city." Chen De shook his head and said to himself: What if he really found this wise man? There are countless talented people living in seclusion in the world, and how many people can guide the country like Zhuge Wolong?
But Mao Shi didn't think so.
He knew that scholars’ ideas were very different from those of military generals.
Didn’t Mr. Cao also be a student back then? In the Governor Lu’s camp, he could only be a copywriter, and manage food, grass and military resources. Once he went up the mountain, he would come up with advice, kill people, rob, kidnap, blackmail, and eat... Zhuge Liang made a three-step plan, he would take three steps, and he would go two miles without any repetition!
Such a martial artist felt trapped in North Korea and had no choice. If you find a scholar to take a look, you might be able to see it!
What's more, how could ordinary students travel thousands of miles to North Korea to be hermits?
This Zhao Qiming is probably a person with a story. Story is equal to experience. Experienced scholars can always give people a little surprise.
Mao Shi rode his horse back to a mountain village with only three or five families, and turned over and dismounted, not wanting to alarm outsiders. When he arrived at Zhao Qiming's door, he happened to see the North Korean boy carrying a basket filled with bowls and chopsticks and other miscellaneous items. He walked out of the door briskly, without locking it and walked out of the village.
Mao Shi identified the direction the boy was walking, but did not chase him, but turned around and entered Zhao Qiming's house.
This house was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it was two higher than the houses of the poor people around North Korea. Mao Shi was searching and thought to himself: Where can I find a craftsman in the remote countryside? Most of the time, Zhao Qiming himself knew about the construction. No matter what, he was also a capable person!
After Mao Shi looked around, he was even more sure that Zhao Qiming was going to run away.
Except for the furniture inconvenient to move, the entire house has been taken away. I am afraid that this little boy will be here for the last time. If Chen De came here for two days, it would be that the bird would have gone to his nest.
——This despicable scholar, it wouldn’t cost you your life to be an official! What should I do?
Mao Shi complained in his heart and chased the boy in the direction where he left.
The little boy was walking very little, and he carried something again. He walked slowly without knowing that someone was behind him. He was still singing nursery rhymes happily and walking towards the mountain where the master was hiding.
Zhao Qiming chose to live in seclusion in Pyongyang Prefecture, and he was attracted by the continuous mountains here.
