Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 655, our North Korea has a lot to do

In the royal palace of Seoul, North Korea.

Today's Seoul Palace has also undergone some repairs, and a large amount of glass purchased from Daming has been installed. It is a well-known tyrant in the history of the Joseon Dynasty.

After learning that the Heavenly Purity Palace of the Son of Heaven is very luxurious and tall, Mr. Yanshan sent people to Daming to find out in detail, and then began to break ground and imitate the construction of a smaller Daming Heaven on the North Korean side. Qing palace.

For this reason, it was also opposed by the ministers of North Korea.

After all, North Korea is not Ming Dynasty. Daming has a vast land and rich resources, and its national power is strong. Building a palace or something is a trivial matter for Daming. The high-rise buildings in Tianjin and the capital are enough to illustrate this point.

But North Korea is different here.

North Korea is a small country with a small population and weak national strength. There is no way to say that it can learn from Daming in everything.

What's more, it is said that the Heavenly Purity Palace of the Son of Heaven cost millions of taels of silver to build, and this does not include all kinds of expensive decorations inside.

However, Mr. Yanshan still ignored the objections of his officials and insisted on learning from Daming. He had to build a Korean version of the Qianqing Palace. For this reason, North Korea had to import cement, steel bars, glass, Tiles and stuff.

In fact, all the ministers were against it, but everyone knew that Ming Dynasty had great influence on North Korea.

With the development of Daming's maritime trade and the development of Daming in the Liaodong area, the exchanges between North Korea and Daming are very close. Almost every day, a large number of merchant ships travel between Daming and North Korea.

Even in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are actually fishing boats from the Ming Dynasty that come to North Korea to sell a boatload of sea fish. The price is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, but because it is meat, the price is cheap , so it is also very popular.

In addition, North Korea signed the Daming Sweet Potato Country Agreement last year, officially becoming a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and the two sides also sent envoys to each other.

Here in Seoul, North Korea, a huge six-story embassy was also built on Daming's side, and all the materials used were transported from Daming's side.

Although the tall embassy has not yet been built, it has already led the atmosphere of the entire North Korea.

The use of various glass products has also become something sought after by the North Korean people.

Although the ministers objected, they also used glass windows in their homes. Various glass products, especially glass lamps, coupled with whale oil, were very beautiful and bright, and quickly became popular in North Korea.

In addition, in the vassal state agreement of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal states must respect Confucianism and Taoism and learn the content of Ming culture, so many Ming halls were built in various parts of North Korea to promote the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

All of these lead to the fact that North Korea is following Daming, and everything is learning from Daming.

It seems reasonable for Lord Yanshan to want to build a palace.

The Korean version of the Jinluandian is modeled after Daming in every aspect, and the appearance is not bad, but it looks more petty in terms of momentum.

Lord Yanshan was sitting on the throne, looking at the officials of the North Korea below, he said: "The emperor's imperial edict has been issued, what do you think?"

Just as Yin Shizhongzhen thought, Daming not only recruited warriors from Wa, but also recruited warriors from Korea. Like Wa, Daming also issued an order to recruit [-] Korean warriors from Korea. The purpose of the imperial decree is the same, and it is used to wipe out the aborigines on Ryukyu Island and Luzon Island.

"Your Majesty, this is a good deed. It shows that Daming attaches great importance to North Korea. Last year, the Son of Heaven rewarded me with two islands in South Korea and South Seas. Among all the vassal states, North Korea is the only one that has received this honor."

Ren Shihong, a relative whom Mr. Yanshan has always trusted very much, was the first to speak up.

"I also think that this is a good thing. The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, and its national strength is extremely strong. Last year, it was easy to wipe out the Jurchen ministries in the Liaodong area. Now it is developing the Liaodong area."

"With the military strength of Ming Dynasty, it is enough to easily wipe out all Xiaoxiao. The reason why we recruited our Korean warriors now is also because of our North Korea's high regard. Our North Korea should attach great importance to this matter, and send the most elite warriors to fight in all directions for the Great Ming Dynasty. The honor of my country."

Liu Shunting, the judge of Li Cao, also stood up and expressed his opinion.

Daming conquered the grasslands in the north, flattened the Jurchen ministries, and even beat Japan, but it has always been very good to North Korea. The relationship between North Korea and Daming has always been very friendly.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with Daming, the opinions of North Korea are very consistent, not to mention that they have signed the Daming vassal state agreement, which is a complete Daming vassal state.

Theoretically speaking, the Son of Heaven is the monarch of their North Korea, and as for the King of Korea, he is also a subject of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, what Duke Liu said is true~"

"Last year when I went to Daming, the Son of Heaven showed great love to Korea and gave me a lot of rewards. He gave me two ocean-going treasure ships from Daming and two treasure islands in Nanyang, which is a testament to the kindness that Daming has shown to Korea."

"It is our DPRK's honor that the Son of Heaven is useful to our DPRK. Similarly, this is our DPRK's opportunity."

Park Yuanzong, who knows the central government affairs, also stood up and said.

Last year when he went to Daming, he received a very high level of courtesy. The emperor of Ming Dynasty summoned him alone. I learned a lot of information outside of Daming here.

The world is very big, there is a vast and fertile land outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are endless treasures. At present, the Ming Dynasty is continuously expanding outwards, and a new era is coming.

He paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Bring the world map~"

"Hmm~"

Yan Shanjun nodded slightly, and immediately a eunuch brought a world map and opened it slowly.

"Your Majesty, everyone~"

"Look, everyone, this is Daming, this is North Korea, and this is Wa~"

Park Yuanzong pointed to several places on the map and said.

"To the south, this is the Ryukyu Island of Ming Dynasty~"

"A little further south is Luzon. At present, the northern part of Luzon has been completely occupied by Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty has set up the Nanyang Province here."

"The two islands that the Son of Heaven rewarded us in North Korea are not small. They are located here, next to Crescent City, the center of the Nanyang Province. The geographical location is also extremely superior."

"Your Majesty, I learned from Daming that at present, the trading houses in Daming are keen to open up plantations in the Nanyang region, planting rice and sugar cane, and the benefits are extremely good."

"I think North Korea should pay attention to these two islands and open up plantations on these two islands. If our country encounters famine in the future, the rice grown on these two islands alone will be enough to feed our entire North Korea."

"Nanyang is located in the tropics. The rice here can be harvested three times a year and seven times every two years. The yield is extremely high. If sugarcane is planted, the benefits will be better. Last year, all the plantations opened by the major Ming business houses in Nanyang made a lot of money. of silver."

Park Yuanzong is a very knowledgeable and capable minister. He has seen the important value of the two islands that the Son of Heaven rewarded at will.

"Well, keep talking~"

Yan Shanjun nodded slightly, although he didn't like Pu Yuanzong very much, but he was indeed a capable minister, much stronger and more knowledgeable than his trusted relatives Ren Shihong and Shen Shouqin.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I said this is an opportunity for my country."

"That's because the Son of Heaven can reward me with two islands in the South Seas today. In the future, Korea will follow Daming to expand around the world, and we will continue to fight against the Son of Heaven. Then in the future, the Son of Heaven will definitely reward me with more land, Islands to us North Korea."

"Everyone, please look at this world map. The world is very big. Asia, the Golden Continent, Europe, Australia, and Africa. As long as we keep up with Ming's pace, we will occupy a place in this world casually in the future, and it will definitely be bigger than our North Korea." It is possible to be several times larger, ten times larger, or even a hundred times larger."

When Park Yuanzong said this, he was very excited. He was very excited when he thought that North Korea could have a land that was ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times larger than it is now.

"How many times, ten times?"

"Even hundreds of times the land?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, Yan Shanjun's eyes were shining brightly.

As a well-known tyrant in North Korean history, he is actually a monarch who really wants to make a difference, but everyone knows the situation in North Korea.

To the east is the Wa Kingdom, and to the west is the Ming Dynasty. It can do nothing to anyone, so even if it is ambitious, he has nowhere to display it. In the end, he can only be slowly placed in North Korea, and finally became a famous tyrant in the history of North Korea. .

"is it possible?"

Someone couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Everyone, please take a look at the world map. The world is much bigger than we imagined, and there are many barbarian places in the world."

"In Daming, anyone who has been to the Golden Continent knows that the land of the Golden Continent is extremely large, but the aborigines there are very backward. They are still in the tribal stage, not even a country."

"There are many places like this in the world. Our country in North Korea should learn from Daming in an all-round way. Like Daming, we should focus on developing maritime trade, overseas colonization, and overseas expansion."

"As long as we keep up with Daming, with the relationship between us and Daming, our overseas expansion is also beneficial to Daming, and similarly, Daming's overseas expansion is also beneficial to our North Korea, because the relationship between our two countries People can communicate freely with each other, do business, study, etc.”

"The world is so big, our North Korea can also occupy a huge piece of land that belongs to our North Korea!"

　My idea is to take younger brothers like Korea, Japan, and Luzon to form a colonial system of the Eastern system in the world~ and eventually compete with the European colonial system.
