New Shun 1730

At the beginning, the government of etiquette also came out to reprimand Zhao Taiyi, who wrote the teaching book of Li Cheng's succession to the throne. If you are not educated and can't write, don't use random words. The teaching book of succession to the throne was written as "candle shadow and axe sound". The level needs to be improved!

"Who knows that in the middle of the night, I will accept the order of leaning on the table; if Ren and Ming are inherited." In Korea, the story of King Renzong of Joseon being poisoned has been as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the story of Zhao Guangyi chopping his elder brother to death. Coupled with the previous sentence "Who knows that in the middle of the night", it is simply a textbook-like question of legitimacy.

According to the etiquette system of Korea: teaching is what the upper implements and what the lower follows. The emperor calls it an edict, and the princes call it teaching.

This teaching book was read out in public when Li Cheng succeeded to the throne, which is basically equivalent to the enthronement edict of the Celestial Empire. It is conceivable that the teaching book is written like this.

The fourteenth and the fourth in the story of the Qing Dynasty; the axe beheading in the story of the Zhao Song Dynasty are all legends, but this thing in Korea is read out in public.

When he went north to fight against Luocha, Duke Ying proposed to take advantage of the civil unrest in Korea to increase control over Korea.

After weighing the pros and cons, Dashun did not support the "rebellious party" that was holding the banner of revenge for the previous king and Li Cheng poisoning his brother. If it had supported it, it would now be called the "anti-rebellion army".

Although supporting these rebels can get more benefits, it may even directly allow Dashun to gain great control over Korea.

However, after asking and investigating, it was found that these rebels could call on the people and grassroots scholars to participate more, and may even overthrow the corrupt politics of Korea and make the political situation in Korea a new one.

In the long run, it is not good for Dashun, so he still supported Li Cheng and continued to maintain the corrupt caste government in Korea.

The favor is too great, and it must be returned.

Now, it is time to repay.

As for the place, Liu Yu had already chosen it.

Busan in the south and Wonsan in the northeast.

The former is to separate Japan and Korea, prevent Korea from engaging in smuggling trade, and monitor Japan.

The latter is to immigrate to the Whale Sea. In the future, he hopes that immigrants will cross Korea and board the ship in Wonsan, which can greatly shorten the distance and reduce the cost of immigration.

As for trade, as long as a small gap is opened, it will naturally impact Korea's original real feudal society, and the era of barter will soon collapse.

Busan is very important to Korea, but as long as Dashun insists on using it as a transit port for sending troops to Japan, Korea will have no choice if it refuses to leave in the future.

Although the Korean monarch and his ministers are unwilling from the bottom of their hearts, the envoys now look at the Ryukyu King lying there and know that they have to agree to this matter.

The Celestial Empire has face, so it is easy to say.

But as long as the Celestial Empire is still the Celestial Empire, if it loses face, what can the vassal do? Vietnam can still rely on climate, heat, malaria, mosquitoes, acclimatization, etc., but the capital of Dashun and the capital of Korea are almost at the same latitude. What do they rely on?

Besides, Korea can't refute the Celestial Empire's reasons.

Luocha is a foreigner. If the Whale Sea is not solid, and they really attack in the future, won't Korea also suffer?

As long as Japan has wolfish ambitions, it must land in Korea. If it can't take Korea, it can't enter China. In order to prevent Korea from suffering the disaster during the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, Japan must be beaten first. If Korea does not support it, it is against it.

Besides, the King of Ryukyu has already cried about Japan's invasion, and Dashun deliberately chose Zhengyangmen in public, so the attack on Japan is a foregone conclusion.

What's wrong with borrowing you a place to station troops to attack Japan? After the founding of Dashun, there was no trouble from Japanese pirates. Isn't the attack on Japan for you vassal states?

This reason is too legitimate, and the Korean envoys thought in their hearts that this deal is worth it.

There is only one thing they can strive for.

That is to let the emperor write a letter to announce that Korea secretly regarded Ming as the legitimate dynasty before, out of gratitude, and it is excusable.

Forgive the past.

It was written in black and white, so that Dashun would not have trouble with this matter in the future. The rest would be offended by Ryukyu, and Korea would not be involved in any of it.

However, the Korean envoys felt that Dashun's vassal policy seemed to be undergoing major changes.

The Korean envoys hoped to listen carefully to Ryukyuzi's words and judge what Dashun's vassal policy would be like in the future.

Ryukyuzi Shangjing, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly proposed a corresponding solution based on Liu Yu's previous "reminder" in Naha and the four crimes that the emperor had imposed on Ryukyu.

In view of the weak Ryukyu soldiers, once the suzerain changed, Ryukyu could not support it, and it was far away from the sea, so he asked the emperor to allow the Celestial Empire's navy to be stationed in Ryukyu.

Ryukyu would send people to build a military port, and Ryukyu would fund the construction of two warships, and ask the Celestial Empire to send people to serve as captains and train Ryukyu's navy.

In view of the prosperity of Japanese learning in Ryukyu and the decline of Chinese learning, Ryukyuzi begged the Holy Emperor to follow the example of the previous Hong and Yong dynasties, grant thirty-six surnames to Ryukyu, educate the people of Ryukyu, promote Chinese learning, and eliminate the influence of Japanese learning.

In view of the fact that Ryukyu ceded the islands to Japan, it was a shame to the country, Ryukyuzi begged the Holy Emperor to conquer Japan to avenge the vassal and show the power of the Celestial Empire.

In addition, Japan plundered the royal treasures of Ryukyu at that time, which were worth 5 million taels. These treasures were originally intended to be presented to the Celestial Empire. I begged the Celestial Empire to ask Japan to return these treasures, and Ryukyu was willing to present them to the Celestial Empire.

After Shang Jing finished talking about these items, he thought that the matter of tribute trade should not be mentioned at this time.

It is better to perform well and wait until later to mention it. It is not a long-sighted price to say this now.

After listening to Shang Jing's request, Li Gan thought that you are also smart.

The first item is military control, and the second item is cultural assimilation. These two items are exactly what the Celestial Empire wants at this time.

Although Liu Yu believed that Ryukyu's naval port was useless after Dashun took Hokkaido and Nanyang, considering that no one can predict the future, it can be regarded as a guaranteed retreat, so just spend some money.

The third item, requesting Dashun to send troops, set the tone for war against Japan. If war reparations are required in the future, they are also required for Ryukyu.

In this matter, the overall situation has been decided.

This time, the guard of honor was deliberately placed at Zhengyang Gate and the people were allowed to watch. This was because Li Gan could no longer stand the court's deliberations, so he directly declared war on the Japanese in front of the people, taking advantage of the pride of the Celestial Empire.

Anyone who opposes this will risk being called a coward by the people.

Although I know that there is no way out, if I give in in the future, I will suffer huge backlash.

But Li Gan didn't just think about Japan.

Even if there are objections from the DPRK and China to a war against Japan, they can be completely suppressed.

Japan's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, and the Chinese Empire has been deceived for more than a hundred years in disgrace. The King of Ryukyu came to Beijing crying and was forced to file a petition, and even if there was opposition, it would be insignificant.

But in the future, going to Nanyang will not be as legitimate as it is now.

There were pros and cons in allowing the Dutch to massacre the Chinese in Batavia before taking action.

The advantage is that the opposing voices in the DPRK and China can be suppressed, and it is justified. Anyone who opposes will be slapped with a big hat.

The disadvantage is that if you kill people before taking action, it will be very disadvantageous for you to establish a foothold in Nanyang in the future.

The problem is, Liu Yu judged that based on the sugar trade and abnormal plantation economy in Nanyang, the Dutch would definitely take action within two years at the latest.

This is an economic law and cannot be reversed.

Within two years, it may not be a good time, so this time it will be delayed and the Netherlands will tacitly allow the Chinese in Batavia to move elsewhere. Dashun can express its approval.

If this matter is approved and it is taken action in the future, there will be huge opposition from the DPRK and China. Approving the Dutch migration of Chinese people in Southeast Asia, and even sending people to supervise it, seems to be equivalent to approving the Dutch rule in Southeast Asia. If the time comes, they will not massacre, and it will seem to be an unknown result.

Nanyang is too far away, and it is useless to attack. The civil servants of the landlord class will not benefit, but it will encourage a special group of military elites. The spice trade is likely to be monopolized by the emperor's internal funds. It is coveted but cannot be shared, which is tantamount to No profit.

Opposition is probably inevitable.

Anticipating the future, Li Gan felt that it was necessary to prepare in advance. When the opportunity comes in the future, he can use this method again to incite public opinion and put pressure on the opposition.

Dashun could not control the public opinion of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but he could try to control the public opinion in the capital.

This time it is an attempt to think about Nanyang; it is not just for Nanyang, but... more other ideas.

Li Gan knew that his voice was not that loud and it was impossible for the people watching the excitement to know exactly what was going on, so he was well prepared.

When Shang Jing was still the King of Ryukyu, he knowingly asked what happened in Ryukyu Kingdom and asked the King of Ryukyu to tell him about the Ryukyu tragedy in Wanli thirty-seventh year.

From the invasion of Satsuma, to the burning of the Ryukyu ancestral temple, to the Ryukyu royal family being caught and imprisoned in Japan, to "forcing" the Ryukyus to deceive the Celestial Empire and continue to pay tribute, etc., everything was told.

When you say it, someone records it.

After recording, it can be passed on.

The uploading notice is called "胪".

The emperor's words were conveyed in writing to the chamberlains or imperial guards who were in front of the people, and then these people read the contents directly to the people.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, although Ryukyu is a country, it is also part of the Celestial Empire. When they heard about the tragedy that happened in Ryukyu, everyone was filled with indignation.

The capital has not suffered any famines in recent years, and there have been no barbarian intrusions in the north. The wars are all thousands of miles away from the capital. The most dead people are the sons of good families who are not worthy of ordinary people. The people of the capital have been living a small life in these years. Still good.

When I was living a good life as a child, I had a sense of glory for the word "Chinese Dynasty". Even though the war had been far away from the capital for decades, and the people in the capital who had been baptized by the war were all old even if they were born at that time, their emotions were quickly aroused after hearing what happened in Ryukyu.

The people who were far away from the officials shouted loudly, and the anger resounded through the sky, causing the officials' ears to hurt.

Although the young officials among the officials were angry, the older ones were worried.

In this matter, the emperor seemed to have overstepped his bounds.

The civil and military officials did not know that such a thing would happen today. They thought that the emperor's appointment at Zhengyang Gate was just to imitate Emperor Taizong's rebuke of Jieli Khan at Chengtian Gate and show his majesty.

Unexpectedly, the emperor bypassed the court and directly seized public opinion and made it an established fact.

What should North Korea and China say now?

The general trend has been established. Even if there are objections from the DPRK and China, what can be said?

It is easy to start a fire, but difficult to put out a fire. Some ministers thought that although this would be a temporary gain, it would cause endless troubles and the people would be stupid. If the emperor becomes a militaristic king, who can stop him in the future?

In front of the emperor, the ministers did not dare to say anything. They could only look at each other and shake their heads silently.

Those who shake their heads may not be opposed to war with Japan. There are even many who firmly support war with Japan, but this matter should not be done in this way.

This breaks a long-standing rule.

In fact, Liu Yu, who was standing among the nobles, did not know that the emperor would choose to play this way. This was really beyond his expectation.

Liu Yu vaguely felt that something was not right. The emperor might not want just this one thing, or even just for the sake of further expansion in the future.

What did the emperor want to do?
