Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 262 Set off to Goryeo
After hearing Jin Yiwei's report of Li Chenggui's news, Zhu Qi's attention was also drawn from the grassland to the Koryo Peninsula.

After all, Li Chenggui had dug a hole with his own hands before, to drag him down.

But now Li Chenggui was no longer a big threat. After Da Ming dealt with Beiyuan, he would naturally take action against the warlords on the Koryo Peninsula, and Li Chenggui was the first target to bear the brunt.

While arranging for Jin Yiwei to assassinate and capture Li Chenggui alive, Zhu Qi also began to dispatch troops.

Some people may ask, isn't it the right of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to dispatch troops?
How can you, a mere king of Liao, have the power to do such a thing.

Don't forget that Zhu Qi was appointed as the military commander of the Liao region before.

That is to say, all major and minor matters in the Liao region are under Zhu Qi's command, and this position has not been relinquished until now.

The affairs of the Koryo Peninsula are naturally under Zhu Qi's control. After all, a large part of the Koryo Peninsula belongs to the Liao region.

Therefore, it is common sense to dispatch troops and generals with Zhu Qi, not to mention that he is still in Yingtian Mansion and has also talked about this with Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Qi had thoughts about the Koryo Peninsula, he naturally clapped his hands and handed the matter over to Zhu Qi.

If among the several sons now, who is the most trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, then there is no need to ask, it must be Liao King Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi has been working much more diligently since his mother passed away and went out.

The main reason is that he saw that life is impermanent, birth, old age, sickness and death are common occurrences. Although he has traveled through time, he is not immortal.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang's third son died before Zhu Di succeeded to the throne.

If it is really according to the history, then I don't know how many years I can be the king of Liao, if I really die early.

Then you must finish the things you haven't finished first, at least for Daming to take out the general direction, so that you can be worthy of the people of Liming all over the world.

Although Zhu Qi himself is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the sake of the world and has great love in his heart, since he has this ability and the prince has this right, he can naturally do as much as he can.

What's more, he has long been disgusted with Bangzi. If he keeps Gao Li at this time, it will definitely be a disaster in the future.

History has proved this, so Zhu Qi does not intend to allow the Koryo Peninsula to continue to exist independently.

Besides, as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, this peninsula was fundamentally a part of my China, and it is not a big problem to just recover him now.

But then there is a big problem, that is, Beiyuan's grassland is sparsely populated.

It is difficult to control it, but the difficulty mainly lies in the complete control of such a large territory.

This difficulty is not because the herdsmen on the grassland are difficult to control.

In fact, it is quite simple to control the herdsmen. Although they advocate force, as long as they can give them a stable life, a way to survive.

Most of the herdsmen would not actually rebel and go to war.

After all, they are also human beings, and as human beings, they will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and have lived a life of trembling all their lives. If they can live a stable life with Da Ming, they must be the same as Da Ming. Do you need to think about it?
But the people on the Koryo Peninsula are different. They have a strong national character. Although the concept of nationalism has not risen now, it can't stand the fact that there are so many people on the Koryo Peninsula.

It is very difficult for so many people to have complete control.

As long as there is an ambitious person like Li Chenggui who makes some waves, rebellion is a proper thing.

And although Daming's suppression of rebellion is not a big problem, if the frequency of one after another is very high, it will be a headache.

After all, it needs to be governed to occupy it, and if it can be effectively reduced, the frequency of rebellion in the Koryo Peninsula is a science. Fortunately, Zhu Qi also has some suitable methods.

The first is to adopt a soft policy and use local officials to govern the local area.

Instead of directly placing Ming officials in the air, at least those officials who directly contact the common people are more appropriate to use local people from Korea.

And those who manage officials can use Daming officials, it doesn't matter.

The other thing is to find the descendants of the original King Goryeo, and they must be supported and be a puppet first.

In any case, the Wang family has ruled the highlands for hundreds of years. Although they are not very popular among the people, it is better to let the royal family of Goryeo continue to rule, so that the people of Goryeo can feel more comfortable.

And then gradually transfer the power to Daming, and then gradually assimilate the Goryeo area through other methods, won't it gradually become my territory of Daming?
And those ordinary people will definitely become the people of my Ming Dynasty after being educated.

After all, I dare not say anything about other abilities of the Han nationality, but assimilation is definitely the number one in the world.

Zhu Qi is still very confident about this, as long as the situation can be stabilized at the beginning, there will be no problem in slowly assimilating later.

And Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed with Zhu Qi's plans. After discussing them with everyone in the court, he soon came up with specific discussions.

In this aspect, these ministers are better at it. After all, they all started from scratch with Zhu Yuanzhang, and many of them have worked hard in the world.

Of course, I am very familiar with these Huairou routines, but the span in the middle may be 50 years shorter, or hundreds of years longer.

But it is completely affordable, it is better than letting Goryeo continue to be an independent country now.

If it is said that he did not know about the more territories of the Pacific Ocean and the adjacent island countries, Zhu Yuanzhang might allow Goryeo to continue to establish the country and save some trouble.

But now that I know it, it is naturally impossible to let it go. It must be the most reassuring to take the territory in my hands.

But the first thing is to unify the whole Goryeo under the banner of Ming Dynasty.

And if he did this, he might have to send troops to attack Goryeo again. Of course, he couldn't send troops directly in the name of Daming, so Zhu Qi quickly found the puppet he supported before, and that puppet was Wang Mian.

Although Wang Mian was a bit ambitious, he was very timid, incapable and obedient.

If Da Ming hadn't been taking care of him during this period of time, he would have been beaten down by Li Chenggui long ago.

So Zhu Qi decided to use the name of Wang Mian to unify the Koryo Peninsula. At that time, he would directly choose a young son from Wang Mian's command to be the king of Koryo.

As for why Wang Mian was not allowed to be the King of Korea, of course the most important thing is to worry about the uncontrollable problem.

Although Wang Mian's recent performance is not very good, and according to various signs, he is definitely an idiot, but he is an adult after all.

As long as it is an adult, there is a danger of losing control. What if there are a few powerful Koreans around, what should I do to help him.

Zhu Qi didn't want to take any risks, but if he found a child to be king, then there would be absolutely no risk.

At least this fig leaf is still there to block it, and the common people will not say much.

At that time, as long as the policy is gentle, it will be enough to gradually assimilate the common people.

As for what to do with Wang Mian, is there any need to talk about it?
It must not be possible to stay in Korea, maybe at that time, life will not be kept alive.

But this is not Zhu Qiguan's business anymore, Zhu Yuanzhang must have made arrangements long ago.

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were naturally transferred back to Liaodong to prepare to cooperate with Wang Mian to attack Goryeo.

On the other side, Wang Mian didn't know that Daming had already planned how to use his pawn.

He heard the news from Liao King Zhu Qi, saying that he wanted to arrange for people to hang his own flag to unify the Koryo Peninsula. Wang Mian was so excited.

He was still thinking about the scene when he sat on the throne and became the King of Korea.

To be honest, before I met His Royal Highness Liao Wang, this was something I never thought about, but now my dream is so close.

Don't mention the excitement in Wang Mian's heart.

He couldn't even sleep well every day, so he hoped that Daming's army would come over quickly, and he didn't wait too long for his expectation.

In the next month, that is, in February of the 17th year of Hongwu.

Daming's army has already rushed to the Koryo Peninsula.

These troops all came down from the grassland. After returning to their original place at this time, they rested for two months before rushing to the Koryo Peninsula to carry out the next battle plan.

Needless to say, the combat level is definitely one of the best elite troops in the world.

The other warlords, having received funding from Da Ming, naturally fully cooperated with Da Ming's actions at this time.

And those self-employed individuals who acted on their own, either received a letter from Daming and immediately surrendered.

Either he planned to make the last wave of resistance like Li Chenggui, but even if Li Chenggui planned to make the last wave of resistance, he had already thought about the way forward, and even found the people who would support him from the Wa country.

Of course, the ordinary warlords didn't know about these things.

However, the news that Daming had sent troops over quickly spread, and few of them dared to raise troops to resist.

Most of the Koryo warlords surrendered to Daming. To be precise, they surrendered to Wang Mian. After all, the flag that was raised was still Wang Mian's.

As a descendant of the Koryo royal family, Wang Mian also enjoyed a lot of bonuses at this time.

He also speaks loudly, and walks in the same way when he goes out, but those warlords also know that he is just a puppet of Daming.

But when a puppet can become the king of Korea, others will not have this opportunity.

Not much else to say, after Daming's army arrived in Korea.

The situation was quickly under control, and only Li Chenggui's army launched a counterattack.

As the largest warlord in Koryo, Li Chenggui occupied almost [-] to [-]% of the territory of Koryo, and had the most troops.

If they relied solely on Wang Mian, their strength and abilities would have been swept away by Li Chenggui long ago.

Now that Da Ming has left the field directly, the scene is different. After there is no restraint from Bei Yuan, Da Ming's elite troops totaling 10 people were photographed on the battlefield.

This Li Chenggui is not enough to look at, although Li Chenggui's troops are very elite, but in terms of individual combat ability, Daming is still better.

Not to mention the general's combat ability, although Li Chenggui is also a very capable general, but he is the only one on his side.

As for Daming, it can be said that the stars are brilliant. Although Lan Yu did not come, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are both famous generals, not to mention, old generals like Feng Sheng also followed.

Li Chenggui was beaten all over the place.

Although there are about 10 troops on hand, it is not enough compared with Daming's.

After Li Chenggui fought a few battles and was beaten all over the floor, he also knew that Goryeo's army was no match for Daming at all.

He could only arrange a retreat and prepare to flee to the Wa country.

And Daming's military plan was also very smooth. In just a short month, there were frequent reports of success, and it quickly pushed across the center line of Koryo, and moved towards the direction of the royal palace of Koryo.

When this news reached Ying Tian Mansion, the officials of Ying Tian Mansion were naturally very happy.

However, there are also some people who use the war of laboring lives and money, and stop doing things for the reason of early stop.

But now Da Ming is in a state of chasing after victory.

Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to such remarks, and Zhu Biao was also very happy, and he also knew that Liao King Zhu Qi was behind all this.

Without the advice and advice of his third brother, these battles might not have gone so smoothly, so Zhu Biao also flatly said good things for his third brother in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved when he saw that his sons were so brotherly and respectful.

As for other people saying that his third son would compete with the boss for the throne.

I didn't see any signs at all, but even if there were signs, maybe it wouldn't be too sad for Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart now, he faintly felt that it would be great if his eldest son, Zhu Qi, the king of Liao, was the eldest son.

Although Zhu Biao is also a very good person, he has been an heir since he was a child, and he has cultivated a gentle personality and is more than conservative.

But I also said that it is more than enough to be conservative. If you want Zhu Biao to expand his territory, I am afraid it will not be so difficult.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with the series of performances of Liao King Zhu Qi.

If Zhu Qilai, king of Liao Dynasty, were to be the emperor, he would definitely be the hero of a generation without even thinking about it.

It may not be able to match the achievements of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

And Zhu Qi didn't know these things in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind at all.

He thought he could go back to Liaodong and continue to be his idle prince after he finished his job in Korea.

Anyway, it will take a long time to digest the grassland and the Koryo Peninsula. After the digestion is almost complete, troops will be sent to attack the Japanese country during the period.

The territory in all directions has almost stabilized, and the next step is to develop technology and the age of great navigation. As long as it catches up with this wave, Ming will be invincible!
