Although many nobles in Japan who were unwilling to be destroyed in a wave of war, they all started to rebel, like moths to a fire, which was useless.

Moreover, as the Japanese people obtained their own land or found a job in a newly opened factory in Ming Dynasty, they became increasingly accepting a peaceful life state, unwilling to support the rebellious behavior of the Japanese aristocracy, and even condemned and hated the continued rebellion of many Japanese aristocracy.

The complete destruction of Japan and the result of becoming a province of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable.

Many Japanese nobles themselves understood this and were very sad.

"Yamato, it's gone!"

The Morioka nobleman Mirabu Nobunaga who fled to North Korea, cried sadly in front of his friends, and then resolutely took his sword and committed suicide by cutting his stomach.

"I pity my dao world. It has been around for thousands of years. Now, in just a few decades, it has completely destroyed by the Ming Kingdom! We have no face to see our ancestors!"

Ishihara Shoishi, a Japanese aristocrat who studied in the Ming Dynasty, also committed suicide by separatism.

For a time, many Japanese nobles committed suicide because of despair.

For the Japanese civilians, they did not feel the strong pain of the country's demise.

Because the Ming Dynasty court, which no longer needed primitive plunder, reduced the tax burden significantly after ruling here, and took advantage of the large amount of cheap labor here to move many low-tech but very dangerous factories, giving many jobs to the local civilians, which greatly increased the income of civilians here.

As a result, these civilians finally began to have a surplus of wealth, and no longer just worked hard to avoid starving to death, but could also buy a large number of cheap industrial products from the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the living standards of these civilians have been greatly improved.

They had no resentment at the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and were even very grateful that under the missionary of the government, they were willing to believe that the Ming Dynasty had saved them, and they should indeed be grateful to the Great Ming Holy Emperor who was even greater than the Bodhisattva in the distant capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, seeking Bodhisattva is not effective, and you have not escaped the pain of life because of this.

However, the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, namely the Emperor of the Heavenly Qi, Zhu Youxiao, has brought them real improvements in their lives.

Even scholars among the common people are very willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty and are even grateful.

Because these scholars among the civilians finally got the opportunity to become bureaucrats through the imperial examination.

And they are also very active in receiving Chinese education in the future.

Just like the people of Rakshasa, the Japanese people also exchanged their cheap labor for cheap industrial products from the Ming Dynasty, which also solved the problem of overproductive power in the Ming Dynasty.

But in this context, no one expected that the Ming Dynasty would go from an empire that invaded countries around the world to an empire that saved humanity from all over the world.

And this pace did not end because one or two countries were annexed.

Because the Ming Dynasty has been constantly generating new populations, these populations need employment, income and a better future.

The productivity of the Ming Dynasty is also constantly increasing.

Therefore, the total production volume is still increasing, the demand for the market is still increasing, and the commodity market needs to continue to expand.

This means that the Ming Dynasty needs to continue to annex other countries.

The current Ming Empire is somewhat similar to the Qin Empire at the end of the Warring States Period in history.

In history, the Qin State had to continue to expand outward as its population grew because of the system of military titles that allowed civilians to advance to nobles by relying on military merit and owned land.

The same is true for the Ming Dynasty now. If the newly born Han people want to have very good jobs and enough wealth, the Ming Empire had to continue to expand and annex the outward and annex until it could not be annexed.

"Next, North Korea will also be included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty! Civilians from all over the place also need to have the ability to consume. The Li clan and his bureaucrats have done too much! The taxes have increased year by year, so that the people are living in poverty! Our royal army needs to rescue them! After all, I am the lord of the world and I should be kind to the world!"

Zhu Youxiao was standing in the hall at this time. After talking to his ministers, he waved the sleeve of the emperor's robe and ordered: "The Privy Council and the Cabinet immediately agreed to the court to send troops to North Korea and who will be the governor of North Korea! In addition, I announced that North Korea was renamed Lelang. This place was the soil of our Han family as early as the Han Dynasty. But in the past, I couldn't bear to put a sword in the place to hurt the local people, so I never thought about it! But now the Li family has no virtue, so it should be taken back and for the land of China!"

"Abide by the order!"

...

"The first movement to rescue all human civilians was started by the Emperor Apocalypse at the end of the 44th century AD. He completed the unification of the earth. This achievement is beyond the reach of all the emperors recorded in ancient and modern times. He is truly an emperor of the ages!"

A historian and writer from the Ming Academy of Social Sciences later recorded what Zhu Youxiao was doing at this time when he was writing the "Biography of the Apocalypse".

The AD mentioned here is not the AD of the world before the time traveler Zhu Youxiao traveled through, but the AD of the new Huangdi Dynasty.

When Zhu Youxiao decided to annex Korea, the current North Korean king Li Qi also learned from the Japanese aristocrat Nomoto-jo who was taking refuge in North Korea that Japan was annexed by the Ming Dynasty and its local aristocrats were taken away from their status.

And so, Li Fen couldn't help but say to his ministers: "It seems that it will be a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty annexes our North Korea! They are afraid that they will save our Changmin and Untouchables, and do not recognize the status of the two squads!"

The classes of the Joseon Kingdom are divided into two classes, middle-aged people, regular people, and untouchables.

Among them, the middle people are a class established by Inzu, North Korea.

The two classes here are aristocratic class, namely the scholar-official class.

Therefore, the two classes mentioned by Li Fen at this time were the nobles of North Korea.

"How did the Celestial Empire become like this? In the past, it would be fine if it repeatedly robbed us North Korea, but it would be arbitrarily killed our North Korean officials, let alone, and now it is even more willing to annex the entire world's foreign vassal!"

Korean Minister Song Shilie also agreed.

"Why should our untouchables be saved by the Celestial Empire? Why should we respect such a Celestial Empire as the sect leader again!"

Another minister, Yin Xuanju, also followed suit.

"But the Celestial Empire is not ours to rival. If we really disrespect it as the sect leader, we will just put our words into practice, making it more conducive to annexing our country! You are better off thinking about other ways, what should we do to avoid being annexed by the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Qi asked as he spoke.

Minister Xu Mu resolutely stood up and replied: "Only reform and implement the new policy of reform and strengthening!"

Li Fen replied, "My dear, please speak."

"The king, I have studied in the Celestial Empire and carefully studied the Celestial Empire. As far as I know, the Celestial Empire has come to this point now because the rate of production of goods surged after the steam engines in its country was present, and it needed a larger market to consume it. The market of the Ming Dynasty's own country could no longer meet its consumption, and even the existing foreign market could not meet its consumption. Therefore, what the Ming Dynasty actually needed was a market, so it continued to expand."

Xu Mu replied.

"But isn't our North Korea engaged in trade with it? Now the whole country is full of wealthy families, food, clothing, housing and transportation, which one is not used for Ming Dynasty goods? They are not satisfied?"

Li Qi asked.

"King! Now the Ming Kingdom does not need our wealthy people to buy their rare things, but to require a large number of our civilians to buy their ordinary goods in large quantities. Therefore, if we can allow our people to buy their ordinary goods in large quantities, they will give up on annihilation!"

Xu Mu replied.

After hearing this, Li Fen nodded and said, "You continue talking."

"yes!"

Xu Mu continued: "So, we need reform and actively increase the income of our North Korean people. The first thing we need to do is to reduce tax exemptions, so that people can increase their income, and then buy a large amount of Ming Dynasty goods, which can also win the hearts of the people, but it cannot cut off the income of the court. Therefore, we need to pay heavy taxes to those who eat profits and prepare for war. At that time, as long as we, North Korea, are united and fight to the death, Ming Dynasty will be afraid and unwilling to expand the market by annexing our North Korea!"

"Absurd! Our Kingdom of Korea has always been based on two classes of scholars and officials, so it exempts taxes to ensure that the king's ye is eternal. How can we be so mean to the scholars and officials and pay heavy taxes now?!"

Song Shilie took the lead in opposing it.

"King! This is how the Ming Dynasty did, which led to the prosperity of today. Before their emperor completely exempted from labor service and land taxes, they first implemented the government and gentry to pay food together! Abolish the exemption of gentry! Only then did they have enough financial resources to enrich the people and strengthen the army!"

Xu Mu replied.

"Nonsense! The Ming Dynasty's national strength has increased significantly, because it is very lucky, and a steam engine suddenly appeared! As for the harsh criticism of the gentry, it did not help much. Instead, it made its king accused of being mean, ruthless and cruel. Do you also want our king to be so infamous?!"

Yin Xuanju also loudly asked Xu Mulai.

Xu Mu also argued according to reason: "If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had not dared to damage the surplus of the gentry and make up for the insufficient national treasury, could he have a generous official treasury to organize tens of thousands of people to develop steam engines, so that the Ming Dynasty could have such a powerful machine?!"

"alright!"

Li Fen quickly waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two sides.

There was also serious party struggles in the courts of the Kingdom of Korea, and it never stopped. Now there is a phenomenon that the Ming Dynasty wanted to annex Korea.

Therefore, Li Fen had to say: "Let's discuss the reform matter again, and now I will talk about whether there is any other way."

"Why would you take the initiative to ask the envoys of Ming State! Let the envoys of Ming State give us an idea."

Song Shilie replied.

Li Qi nodded and replied, "Just do it."

So, the right-wing political affairs of the North Korean government, Song Shilie was ordered by the king and prepared heavy gifts. He came to meet Han Zhiyuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, and asked how North Korea would get along with the Ming Kingdom in the future and whether it would be annexed.

But Han Zhiyuan replied: "Since you have regarded yourself as a small China, you should have the awareness of completely submitting to China. I don't know what Your Majesty will do, but no matter what His Majesty's will to you North Korea, I mean, you must follow the order and not have any illusions of disobedience, otherwise the consequences will be more serious!"

"yes!"

Song Shilie replied with a wry smile.

"Let us obey the order of the Emperor of Ming. That is to say, if the Ming Kingdom really wants to annex my kingdom, we can only accept the arrangement of being annexed?"

After learning Ming Envoy's answer from Song Shilie, North Korea's King Lee Kyung was quite disappointed and couldn't help but say, "What should I do?"

Li Jun did not have the courage to reform and self-improvement. Of course, he was afraid that he would be put into the water by the powerful people of his country before he succeeded. However, he was unwilling to let the Kingdom of Korea be annexed by the Ming Dynasty, and he was no longer a ruler and fell to the same level as ordinary civilians.

"It would be better to send a mission directly to Ming State. Use a lot of money or sex to bribe important officials of the Ming State and even their emperors. In addition, you can directly find out the attitude of the Ming State emperor. Of course, if there is a stunning person who can enter the harem of the Ming State emperor, be favored by the Ming State, and be able to make some suggestions for our Korean scholars and people by your pillow!"

"In this way, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty only wants to cut off one land and get another sum of money, even the rights to build railways or mine mining, etc., and do not annex my Kingdom of Korea!"

"No matter how bad we can move to America like the Japanese shogunate. We also have our own colonies in the Americas. Although we obtained it from the Aiyashi country, there is no such threat from the Aiyashi country in the Americas, and it may be able to rebuild our country!"

Yin Xuanju started talking at this time.

"You think of bribery, cede land and compensation, and flee to America, why are you unwilling to reform and strengthen yourself? It's just to save your own people and make your own people equal to the literati. Why do you need to do it by Ming Kingdom? We can do it ourselves! At worst, you can directly exempt the Ming Kingdom from tariffs and allow free trade. The Ming Kingdom gets the benefits of our market and is unwilling to consume national treasury and conquer our country! Especially if our country can strengthen itself and have a war-making army."

Xu Mu started to speak out in anger.

Song Shilie gave Xu Mu a blank look: "What Mr. Xu said about reform and self-improvement is equivalent to self-destruction. Letting the head of Qian and the scholars and officials join the same line is actually destroying the ethics and religions and destroying the world by themselves! How is this different from being annexed by the Ming Dynasty?!"

"That's right! This is a defiance of benevolence and deeds! Instead of making the untouchables of Guizhou in our country succeed, it is better to return to the Ming Kingdom!"

Yin Xuanju said, and said, "The key now is that the Ming Dynasty is also a great destruction of etiquette and education, and it is difficult to claim that there is Chinese etiquette. The so-called "to cure chaos, we must first correct the roots and, according to the opinions of the ministers, to restore etiquette and education, our kingdom of Korea will not be destroyed. We need to first correct the etiquette of the Heavenly Kingdom and make the country the sect leader return to the right way. In this way, our Korean vassal state can also return to the right way! Sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty is not just to bribe the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, this is just a skill. There should also be a way, that is, sending the great scholars of our country to the Ming Dynasty to go to the Ming Dynasty, and suggesting that the righteous gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty join him to uphold justice, and even help those who have righteous spirit in the Ming Dynasty restore etiquette and no longer practice this domineering behavior."

"Very good!"

Li Fen nodded and said, "I sent an edict to Yin Qing to be promoted to the left to discuss the affairs. He will first select beautiful women of his age and present to the Ming Dynasty, so that the whole country will not be allowed to marry during this period. Otherwise, once it is found out, it will be strictly handled! At the same time, selecting great scholars with noble character and noble character should also be included in the mission and go to the Ming Dynasty to lobby. In addition, picking rare treasures from the whole country as a gift to present to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should not underestimate the respect of our North Korea!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but hurriedly advised and said, "Master! This will only lead to officials taking this opportunity to increase the exploitation of the people! No one knows how many people will destroy their families! In this case, we will die before the Ming Dynasty comes in!"

"My last name is Xu, you are bold!"

Song Shilie roared and hurriedly said, "Master, please punish Xu Mu for being arrogant and ruthless!"
Chapter completed!
