"It's feasible, it's better to make Funing, the king's cousin, the king, the emperor!"

Song Junji suggested.

"In this way, where will the crown prince be placed?"

Minister Kim Ji asked at this time.

"Let Funing Jun continue to recognize the current crown prince as the crown prince!"

Yu Qi replied.

Everyone agreed very much.

So, these Korean civil servants went directly to find Funing Jun Li Shi, and explained his feelings to him and used reason. Li Shi agreed because he was unwilling to become a commoner of the Ming Dynasty and seemed to have the intention of becoming a king.

Then, these Korean civil servants went to instigate the generals of the Imperial Guards.

These generals were unwilling to be confiscated by the Ming court in the future, and they were indeed dissatisfied with the direct betrayal of King Li Fen, and were willing to cooperate.

As a result, these North Korean civil servants successfully launched a coup.

Li Yan became king and told the world that Li Yan had passed away and still made Li Yan the crown prince.

It doesn't matter when Li Fen learned the news.

He is now in the concession area of ​​the Ming Dynasty and is very at ease in front of Yugong.

However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an order to strictly order the Korean aristocratic bureaucrats to change the monarch, directly characterizing these people as traitors.

And these Korean aristocratic bureaucrats are now naturally deaf about the Ming Dynasty’s accusations.

Their arbitrary establishment of a new king has already meant that they had completely betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these Korean aristocratic bureaucrats did this, because they did not want to hand over their interests to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, aristocratic bureaucrats from all over Korea also later recognized Lee Se's position as king.

The Ming army attacking North Korea had arrived in Luozhou City.

The Korean defenders in Quanzhou City made sufficient preparations. There were trenches and low walls outside the city, and hundreds of cannons were arranged in the city. A lot of ten thousand people, enemies and thunder purchased from the Ming Dynasty were prepared. Even gold juice was boiled next to each battlement, and more than 30,000 troops were concentrated to defend the city.

But the Ming army did not intend to attack the city.

Yang Tinglin ordered the alternate internal officials who followed him to divide the fields directly outside the city.

Because Yang Tinglin discovered that the Korean defenders really didn't care about the lives and death of many civilians outside the city. Of course, perhaps it was to prevent Ming spies from intruding into the city, so that the people were not locked in the city, so that the yellow-faced and thin civilians could be seen everywhere outside the city.

Therefore, Yang Tinglin and Li Dingguo discussed and decided to divide the land directly outside the city, not to capture the North Korean city, but to establish a ruling system.

Therefore, Yang Tinglin, an alternate internal affairs official of the Ming Dynasty who came with the army, was appointed as a temporary official in various places after demarcating relevant administrative divisions.

Many ordinary people were therefore organized to directly enter the manors outside the city to divide the land.

In addition to dividing the land, the officials of the Ming Dynasty would also provide relief to the people who were hungry and cold according to Yang Tinglin's orders, and also lend the grains and farm tools they brought to these people, so that they could form production groups, help each other, and use the farm tools assigned by the government.

The people of North Korea were naturally surprised by this.

They did not expect that such a sudden foreign army would come to care about the lives and death of their untouchables, and even allocate land and borrowed farm tools to them to grain.

"Why are you so good! Woo woo!"

"Thank you, the old guy kowtows you!"

Some people cried directly, knelt in front of the Ming officials, and their heads kept hitting the mud.

"This is all the kindness of the Holy Emperor! The Holy Emperor can't bear to see you and be sad and hungry! You must remember to receive the Holy Emperor's royal education in the future, work hard and contribute your own strength to the prosperity of China!"

The officials in charge of missionary education will naturally take the opportunity to domesticate these people.

Moreover, when attending night school for the people, the Ming Dynasty officials would organize some poor Korean scholars who received Chinese education to teach these people Chinese characters. The first Chinese sentence to teach these people was "Long live the Holy Emperor."

The reason for teaching this is naturally to facilitate the people to shout slogans later.

"Pu Xunzhang, the Ming army is actually sharing the land for those untouchables! They have divided all our farmlands!"

Zhuangtian was outside the city, but the Korean gentry Quan Chongxin, who had already hidden in the city, anxiously spoke to Park Sun-he, the prefect of Luozhou.

The inspector Park Sun-he said with a gloomy face: "I have seen that these Ming troops are really hateful! If you don't come to attack the city, you will have a great battle with the military and civilians in Luozhou City, and you will actually share land for the untouchables outside the city. This is really incredible!"

"It seems that they are not saying they want to save the people here, but they really have this purpose!"

"Now it seems that we can only send troops out and fight against them! Otherwise, we can only watch them divide the fields outside the city, and then we can only become trapped beasts!"

The prefect Li Shan also started talking at this time.

Park Sun-he said: "You can't go out of the city. You may fight with the Ming army, but you will undoubtedly lose if you leave the city! The Ming army's firearms and equipment are far above us. The key is that their tactics are also above us! Whoever lets our firearms and tactics train inherit the Ming army. If you don't have to fight with it, you can know that what the Ming country has let us master is the firearms and tactics that they abandoned. Therefore, they will undoubtedly know our firearms and tactics well, but we don't understand them. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. When we go out to fight with the Ming army, the Ming army will win, and our army will lose!"

"What should I do? Shangguan, you can't just sit back and watch our land be distributed to those untouchables by the Ming army!"

Quan Chongxin started to speak, and then his hand holding the Mingzao telescope couldn't stop trembling because he was seeing his rice fields outside the city being measured by the Ming army with a tape ruler. A huge wooden sign with Chinese characters "This field was contracted by Li Erniu" was also nailed into the ridge after being measured.

"The Inspector, you must not ignore this situation! If the fields are separated by these untouchables, then there will be no point in defending this city!"

"Do you Shangguan really have to sit back and see the benefits of the two squads earned by the Ming army?!"

The other gentry were also anxious.

"Wait a little longer! I don't believe that Mingjun really only needs villages but not cities."

Park Sun-he replied helplessly.

But then, the Ming army did not attack Luozhou City, which was heavily guarded, but continued to divide land and provide relief outside. Not only that, the Ming army also directly began to recruit local young and strong people, form peasant soldiers, and be responsible for road construction and camp construction, which can be regarded as labor-for-relief.

In addition, in order to exert the enthusiasm of these peasants and to establish a consumer market as soon as possible, the Ming army will also give labor remuneration to the workers so that these farmers can consume after working.

Because they participated in the farming and soldiers and received labor remuneration after participating in the construction of the project, these Korean people were very active, working hard on farming and engineering construction, and also brought about rural consumption.

Later, the entire Luozhou city was divided into lands outside the city, and even the Han merchants in Mopo opened branches at the junction of several villages where the lands had been divided, forming a market here.

Puchi!

Luozhou's observation commander Cheng Dongbao suddenly stabbed Park Sun-he's abdomen on the next day, and then said to Lee Sun: "Surrender! The prefect! The Ming army's move is too vicious! They really don't plan to attack the city, they just want to save our people, and we can't defeat it."

"Why!"

Li Shan sighed, then nodded.

"This, this, how did you surrender? Masters, do you care about our gentry?"

Quan Chongxin asked in disappointment.

Li Shan and Cheng Dongbao ignored Quan Chongxin and other gentry, but directly ordered the city gate to be opened and the white flag was raised.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty successfully occupied Luozhou City.

Next, Gwangju, Intai, Xianping, Changmao, Gaochang, and Jeonju were successively captured by the Ming army, and basically no resistance was encountered.

It just took a lot of time, because the Ming army did not directly attack the city, but directly distributed land to the people outside the city, and then isolated the corresponding city, which caused more time to spend.

Even so, because of its narrow territory and lack of broad strategic depth, the Ming Dynasty is now surrounding North Korea in geographical sense, and it can send troops from four directions, from east, west, south, and north to divide the land and dissolve North Korea's grassroots rule. Therefore, North Korea still cannot withstand the Ming Dynasty's actions like this.

Not long after, even around Seoul, officers and soldiers sent by the Ming Dynasty began to divide the land.

The aristocratic bureaucrats of Korea sent troops and even asked the landlords and gentry to organize the village warriors to go out for battle, and even harass them. However, because they were defeated by the Ming army and retaliated against the people who had divided the fields, the instigated Korean people supported the Ming army more and even took the initiative to fight in the form of peasant soldiers under the mobilization of the Ming army.

In addition, because these officers and soldiers of the Korean aristocratic bureaucrats and the rural brave men of the landlords and gentry were all mercenaries and did not make any decision to protect their own land, the farmers composed of Koreans were more willing to fight bloody battles to protect the land they had just divided. Therefore, in the end, these people were not only not opponents of the Ming army, but also not even opponents of the Korean peasant soldiers standing on the Ming army.

The Ming Dynasty kept sending new graduates from various universities to work as grassroots officials in the newly occupied areas of North Korea, and also sent grassroots officials from China to the newly occupied areas of North Korea to serve as prefectures and counties.

Just like India and Rakshasa before.

Even now, India and Rakshasa still need to send more officials because some new territories have been developed.

Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have to worry about whether they would be promoted. As long as they were not greedy or not too useless, they would basically get the opportunity to be promoted.

Scholars no longer have to worry about not having the opportunity to become officials.

Because the Ming Dynasty was in an expansionary state, the demand for talents has always been in a state of insufficient supply.

Zhu Youxiao even issued a special order to continue to increase the number of Jinshi, Juren and students in the imperial examinations.

In addition, the major factories also expanded the market after the military expansion of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the scale of major factories was also expanding, and they began to build various branches for rough processing and assembly in newly annexed Japan and North Korea.

Many workers have joined the management team because of this. Many old employees have not had the opportunity to get promoted and raise wages due to the previous surplus of factories and the suspension of production of factories. They are also facing an unemployment crisis.

This also prevented the scholars and people of the Ming Dynasty from being too involved.

There are a lot of opportunities for promotion and employment opportunities await them.

The root of all this is due to the sustained economic growth brought about by expansion.

"Mr. Li, I really didn't expect that I would be the workshop director so soon. I thought I would have to last another three or five years like you."

The history of Li Yuanhui from Datong Machinery Factory going to the capital to meet Emperor Tianqi. He was sitting in the cabin of Dongfeng and looking at the sea outside, and said to Li Yuanhui opposite him.

Li Yuanhui also smiled and said, "The year is getting better now, and I didn't expect that I would go to Japan so soon to be responsible for a new factory alone! North Korea is about to build it. At that time, I guess a new factory will have to be built there. Some people who don't need much technology can recruit local people. The local people are definitely not as difficult as we Han people. Let them cause trouble for half an hour, which will save a lot of costs."

"I guess I will be a factory soon."

Shi Zai laughed as he said that, his face full of optimism and positive expressions.

At this time, Guo Shijian, the North Korean observation and demotion envoy who was responsible for the conscientious treatment of Incheon City, looked at the people of his country outside the city with a look of loss, shouting the slogans of "Submission to China", "obeying the king's transformation", and "loyalty to the Holy Emperor" under the command of the Ming army.

Guo Shijian clenched his fists, and couldn't help but cry to the sky and said, "Mr. Master! You said, why is this so common people so unwilling to the country's kindness? They would rather rebel against the court because they had land and food. They were willing to be slaves of the Han family, and even did not hesitate to fight with our official army for this! Is it really only our scholars and officials who know that starvation is small and loss of moral integrity is big?!"
