The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 441 Offended Peiping
"The workers in the Miyun factory are pushing the old to bring forth the new and pursuing breakthroughs. They have made countless attempts in the past six months and found out as many as thirteen kinds of new materials that can be used directly."

"He is serious and responsible in his work, and the rate of defective products is the lowest in the Zhonghua Heavy Industry Zone. It can be said that he strives for excellence."

"Without fear of pressure and courage to take on responsibility, the steel output of the Miyun plant has increased significantly month by month, providing excellent steel supply for the industrial development in the north."

"Praise the workers' spirit in Miyun District. The workers' spirit is always the greatest power!"

Various newspapers published Zhu Gaochi's speech.

There is also recognition of the military factory area and so on.

at this time.

Cuju competitions in various places in Peiping are in full swing, and the finals will be held in the Beiping Comprehensive Stadium.

The whole society is very different from that of Ming Dynasty.

society newspaper.

"Golden State's birth rate is expected to reach four out of ten throughout the year."

"Jinzhou has a population of nearly 20. In the past ten months this year, more than [-] children have been born. This is a great auspiciousness that has never been heard of since ancient times."

On the bus, a worker wearing an overalls held a social newspaper in his hand.

Ordinary people rarely read technical newspapers. On the contrary, the sales of social newspapers, life newspapers, and miscellaneous newspapers are much higher than technical newspapers.

"With so many people being born, wouldn't it mean that within a few years, there will be many times more children in Golden State than adults."

Next to the worker was his colleague. The two went to the factory together, took the bus together, and read a newspaper.

"In just six years, Jinzhou's population has reached nearly 20. Many of them were young and strong, and the Jinzhou Forest Farm has divided women."

The conversation between the two workers aroused the enthusiasm of others in the carriage, and the rumors of Jinzhou were talked about in the carriage.

"I heard that the doctors there disemboweled themselves?"

"It also said that there are many eunuchs there."

"Jingle Bell."

The driver of the railway carriage rang the bell to remind the passengers in the carriage that they had arrived at a platform.

Two workers took the initiative to leave newspapers and got out of the car with a group of people. The newspapers left by the workers were picked up by others curiously.

People who take the bus in the morning have a high literacy rate, and these people are all interested in reading free newspapers.

“There are too few women in Liaodong.”

"The forest farm's absorption of women is imminent."

The Social News has published the news about Jinzhou, which is naturally not a trivial matter.

Changshi Mansion.

The cabinets have to discuss major and minor matters, and they also need to consider the current situation of Peiping and worries about the future.

"There are a large number of migrants in Liaodong, and the proportion of men is high, especially in Jinzhou. There is also a propaganda about the distribution of wives in forest farms."

"It can be foreseen that there will be tens of thousands of males who meet the conditions announced by the forest farm in the next year, and these will need to be married."

"The transport of women by Eighteen Commercial Banks should be strengthened."

More than [-] cabinet members who stayed in Peiping.

Everyone sat in the square hall with some novelty.

The floor of the hall is paved with red patterned carpets. Although it is daytime, because of the depth of the hall, the indoor view is relatively dim.

Dozens of kerosene lamps were lit, brightening the hall.

The members of the cabinet are sitting on wide chairs, and there are desks between the wide chairs, and there are tea trays on the desks.

The newly formed cabinet currently plays a small role, but officials are very active.

There will also be serious discussions on many trivial things.

Zhu Gaochi is happy to see it succeed.

When the cabinet members were showing their enthusiasm for the new system, in Beiping City, there were two men dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes, but their expressions were awkward.

They seem to have become accustomed to the sights of Peking, and they are not as fussy as those who have just come to Peking.

The bus route the two took went directly to the Wangfu platform.

They're here to complain.

"The little prince wants to make decisions for the grassroots."

"Our supplies in North Korea were taken away by Zheng Daochuan, a traitor."

Lu Shunyi and Gao Jinquan knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Beside them stood Jin Zhong, who was also Zhu Gaochi who Jin Zhong brought them to see.

"Zheng Daochuan?"

"Zheng Daochuan is a treacherous and evil person. He is most hostile to the Shang Dynasty. He once even encouraged the king to attack the Shang Dynasty."

"The goods we brought back from Beiping were banned from entering North Korea by his order."

"The "matchmaker" plan originally agreed with the forest farm was to transport [-] North Korean women to the forest farm every year, and he also arrested many of them."

Zhu Gaochi was incredible.

After the New Army in Peiping showed its power, even Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to act rashly. Over the past few years, he has not been offended by external forces for a long time.

"Doesn't he know how powerful my new army is? Or is he always so brave?"

"It's just someone who sits in a well and watches the sky. Relying on the trust of the king, he is used to domineering in North Korea. He doesn't understand the power of the little prince."

Lu Shunyi replied.

"What did the forest farm say?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong sorted out his thoughts, and said in an orderly manner: "People from the forest farm think that the forest farm detains North Korean women who want to go to Jinzhou. It is against the wishes of Korean women, and it is not in line with the behavior of the state of etiquette. .”

"North Korea's move is quite rude. It restricts the freedom of the people and violates the etiquette purpose of Ming Dynasty. It believes that the freedom of the North Korean people should be supported."

The two North Korean businessmen were overjoyed when they heard what Jin Zhong said.

Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to make a decision so quickly.

Very simple.

No staff.

The population of Jinzhou is so small that Liaodong can't digest it at present, let alone the boundless, most of the areas are Nuer Gandusi, no man's land.

The population in the north cannot support expansion.

"Is there anyone familiar with North Korea?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

Jin Zhong pondered.

Although the North Korean mission passed through Peiping when entering, the officials in Peiping did not know enough about North Korea and only had a general understanding.

If it is compared, the senior officials in the capital will be more familiar with North Korea, including Ming Dynasty's policy of dealing with North Korea.

"Go find it." Zhu Gaochi ordered.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Although North Korea doesn't value Zhu Gaochi's eyes, they can't get into it in a daze, let alone trust two North Korean businessmen easily.

This person is really hard to find.

Ge Cheng was not familiar with it, and Jin Zhong was even more unfamiliar. Finally, he searched among the scholars from the south, and these people were also unfamiliar.

Some people know a thing or two, and finally find out about Jin.

Xie Jin has a good memory, Jiangxi Jieyuan, a scholar of Zhongshu Shuji, explained scriptures by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and stayed in the center of the court for a long time.

He knows more about the national level than middle- and lower-level officials, and even the chief envoy may not have the same vision as Xie Jin.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Jin will serve as the chief assistant in the Yongle Dynasty in the future. This person is a living dictionary of the country.

He was also the chief official responsible for organizing the Yongle Grand Ceremony, which proves the breadth of this person's knowledge base.

Since Xie Jin came to Peiping, he has stayed in Peiping.

This was the second time he saw Zhu Gaochi up close.

"The name of North Korea was given by a sage. It used to be called Goryeo. The current king of Joseon was originally a general of Goryeo, but later he rebelled and overthrew Goryeo."

"The saint does not like the current King of Goryeo, especially the current North Korea, which occupies a lot of land that does not belong to Goryeo."

"However, due to the situation, although I accepted the tribute from North Korea, I did not give up on the Eastern Expedition. However, after the crown prince left, many plans were stopped."

"Is there a plan for the Eastern Expedition?" Zhu Gaochi asked curiously when he knew it for the first time.

When Xie Jin heard Zhu Gaochi's question, he answered without hesitation, "Not only is there a plan for the Eastern Expedition, but there is also a plan for the Northwest Expedition, all of which were terminated because of the prince's affairs."

"It's really a pity."

Zhu Gaochi said regretfully.

"Compared with the previous Goryeo, North Korea now has half a Pyongan Province and the entire Hamgyong Province."

Zhu Gaochi remembered a thing or two about what Xie Jin said.

Zhu Gaochi can remember the general things, but Zhu Gaochi can't know the specific details.

Of course Li Chenggui and Zhu Gaochi knew this person.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army entered Goryeo on a long march, and the King of Goryeo fled south. The entire capital of Goryeo was occupied by the Red Turban Army.

Li Chenggui is a warlord who grew stronger in the war with the Red Turban Army.

After the failure of the Red Scarf Army, Li Chenggui also became a famous general in Korea, and his strength was the strongest group at that time.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Nuerqian was in chaos.

Among the two choices between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, Nuer Gansi's remaining Meng Yuan forces finally chose to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

This made Goryeo very dissatisfied, and sent a large army to attack Nuergansi. As a result, Li Chenggui led the army to rebel, and finally destroyed Goryeo.

After destroying Goryeo, he submitted a petition to Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible. Due to the situation, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the proposal, named it North Korea, and became a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

In future Korean history books, Li Chenggui will be criticized, believing that this person blocked Goryeo from annexing Nuergan.

"Although Goryeo is gone, there are still many people who are greedy for slaves and Gandusi, and they are high-ranking officials in North Korea."

"Zheng Daochuan was the most powerful and most trusted minister of the King of Joseon. He encouraged North Korea to send troops to serve as slaves. After the country learned about this, the sage ordered North Korea to send this man to the Ming Dynasty for trial, but North Korea did not comply with the order."

North Korea recognized Daming as its suzerain, so it was called king.

After Xie Jin's detailed explanation of the current situation in North Korea, Zhu Gaochi has understood the problem based on the general trend he knows.

Although today's North Korea generally does not dare to resist the Ming Dynasty, some areas still have territorial ambitions.

"North Korea will still be called Goryeo from now on." Zhu Gaochi said immediately.

Pyongan Road and Hamgyong Road, he does not recognize that they belong to North Korea.

The future Zhu Di also does not approve.

However, the population of Liaodong is too small, and Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road are too close to North Korea, including the current King of Korea who was born in Hamgyong Road.

Therefore Zhu Di said: "The land of North Korea is also within my borders, so why should I fight for it?".

This strategy belongs to the shelving of disputes under circumstances beyond our capabilities.

But until the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty divided the border with North Korea and officially stipulated that Hamgyong Road and Pingan Road belonged to North Korea.

In fact, the problem is not big.

As long as China continues to prosper and develop, the entire East will belong to China's suzerain-vassal system.

However, China is lagging behind, and Western powers have separated China's suzerain-vassal system, so the problem has become bigger.

China has lost a lot in modern times, and the loss of the suzerain-vassal system is actually a very heavy loss.

North Korea is restored to Koryo, so the current Hamgyong and Pingan Roads in North Korea belong to the land they occupied.

"Do you want to communicate with the capital?" Xie Jin reminded.

"The capital is too far away. Since I'm in the north, I'm the one to make decisions about the north." Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"Then, is the young prince planning to launch a military campaign against North Korea?"

Xie Jin asked.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated and did not reply.
