Shenyang City, Wanhe Palace.
It had rained heavily last night, causing the temperature in Shenyang to be a little cold. Zhu Yijun was wearing a cloak and sitting in front of a brazier. Beside him was King Li Xun of North Korea.
"You, I'm going back to the capital!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xun and said.
When Li Xun heard this, he immediately panicked. Li Xun had been living a good life in Shenyang these days. Now that he heard that Zhu Yijun was leaving, Li Xun was very reluctant.
The war in North Korea was not over yet, and the emperor was leaving. What about North Korea?
"I've been out for almost half a year!"
Zhu Yijun raised his hand to stop King Li Xun of North Korea. He said with a smile, "The things in Liaodong are almost done. It's time for me to return to the capital."
In the past six months, Liaodong had been using troops. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had mobilized merchants to transport supplies, and countless merchants had poured into Liaodong.
Whether in Siping or Andong, the Daming's people were gathering quickly, especially in Andong, where no less than 100,000 people had gathered.
The foundation for the development of Liaodong had been laid, and it was time for Zhu Yijun to go back.
Although nothing major had happened in the capital, nothing had happened in Liaodong, either. It was not appropriate for Zhu Yijun to stay any longer.
The construction of the three Duoyan Guards and Horqin was almost finished. The ranches had also been sold by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the shepherds and slaves had also been sold. There were basically no major problems here.
A few days ago, someone from the capital had sent a letter. The envoy of Buyan Chechen had arrived in the capital.
Obviously, Buyan Chechen was afraid and was ready to surrender to the Daming.
Seeing Li Xun's worried face, Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "This is the battle report just sent by the Royal Navy of the Daming. They have taken Tsushima Island and Pusan Port. Now they are marching to the capital of North Korea in Gyeonggi Province."
"You can return to North Korea. Pyongyang and Kaesong have been pacified."
"When you go back, I believe that the battle of Seoul should be over, and then you can return everything." Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xun with a smile. "I have done what I promised you."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xun suddenly smiled and then knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, this subject is unable to repay Your Majesty's kindness towards Korea and this subject. Korea will be a vassal of the Great Ming Dynasty for generations to come, a country of the Great Ming Dynasty!" As Li Zhi spoke, he gave Zhu Yijun three bows and nine kowtows.
"Chen," Li Li said. "Yi Chong" Yi "Zhu" Yi nod. "I" Yi. "Chen". "
Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded. "I asked you to come today because I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Yijun nodded with a smile. "Today, I called you here because I have another matter to discuss with you."
Zhu Yijun smiled and waved his hand. "I asked you to come here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Yijun smiled and waved his hand. "It can't be considered an order. North Korea is in dire straits, and the Great Ming Dynasty is not well-off. In order to help you restore your country, We have done everything we can and spent an incalculable amount of money."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xun quickly said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. After I return to Seoul, I will do my best to offer to Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun smiled and waved his hand, "My dear subject, your words are incorrect. Daehan is in a difficult situation and has just experienced such chaos. How could we ask for tribute at this time? Do you think that I am an incapable ruler?"
"Then, Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Li Xun asked.
"This disaster was caused by the Japanese pirates. If not for the Japanese pirates attacking North Korea, would North Korea be in such a difficult situation?
Would the people of North Korea have lost their families?
Would you have escaped from the capital?
"I will not immediately send an army to North Korea. So, I will put the cost on the Japanese pirates.
"I heard that the Japanese Empire has many silver mines and is rich in resources. I am preparing to send troops to attack the Japanese pirates. Firstly, I will help you vent your anger. Secondly, I will get some good things back. Otherwise, where will I find the money to compensate for my losses?
"North Korea is also in a difficult situation. What I mean is that you should go back and reorganize your troops.
"When the time comes, our allied forces will attack the Japanese Empire. I believe that we can alleviate the situation in North Korea!"
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xun was so excited that he almost swayed. Attack the Japanese Empire?
Rob?
Good!
This is a good thing!
Li Xun hated the Japanese Empire to the core. Now that there was a chance, how could Li Xun not be tempted?
"Your Majesty, I will make the arrangements when I go back. North Korea is willing to follow behind Daming to attack the Japanese pirates and contribute a little."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Then, this matter is settled."
This was what Zhu Yijun had thought about long ago. If it wasn't to attack the Japanese Empire, Zhu Yijun would not have spent so much effort.
As for why he attacked the Japanese Empire, it was to solve the problem on the island.
Secondly, Zhu Yijun wanted to make the Japanese Empire a demonstration point.
A demonstration point for Daming's Honours and nobles to colonize. It should be known that Daming had never colonized a foreign country before, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to do it easily. However, the Japanese Empire was different.
Once the Japanese Empire was conquered, it would be Daming's colony.
Honours and sea merchants of Daming would swarm in. Zhu Yijun would even make a few castellans there and then further develop and colonize it.
If hundreds of thousands of Honours and nobles attacked like wolves and tigers, the Japanese Empire would probably not be far from destruction.
Capital had always been bloody since its birth, especially the colonial blood of this era, which had caused the extinction of countless Undead Races.
Once he opened this cage and released this ferocious tiger, Zhu Yijun believed that the small Japanese Empire would not be able to resist and satisfy the appetite of Daming's vampires.
At that time, without Zhu Yijun's guidance, their eyes would definitely look to the south.
As a new colony, North Korea would not do. They even spoke in Chinese, so they were a very suitable target for inclusion, not colonization. Plus, it was bordering the Daming, so inclusion was the way to go.
If he dragged North Korea to colonize now, would the North Koreans be able to bear it?
The North Koreans would follow behind Daming and continue to advance.
Coupled with the current retainer system of the Japanese Empire, Zhu Yijun believed that it would not take many years for Daming to make the Japanese Empire and North Korea Daming's land.
By that time, how many Japanese would be left in the Japanese Empire? Zhu Yijun could not guarantee.
Daming's slave trader, Empress Wang's mother, had been holding back for many years.
Coupled with his own abolition of the lowly status system, the Daming's slave shortage was very large. The entire Daming had fallen into a panic of using slaves. Although it had not been completely implemented, there was already a trend.
Therefore, the first big piece of the Japanese Empire's colonization was the slave trade.
Low cost, quick results, high profits, it would definitely attract countless people to go to the Japanese Empire to sell slaves.
Of course, men were not allowed. The main ones sold were the female slaves of the Japanese Empire.
Zhu Yijun planned to abolish the lowly status system when he went back, and at the same time, he advocated the female slaves of the Japanese Empire.
The abolition of the lowly status system should be effective now.
