Zhu Youjian's words are actually not just for North Korea, but for rebuilding a feudal system that can ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty...

There is no way, Zhu Youjian is not the Zhu Cihong whose soul comes from the 21st century. Zhu Cihong is actually a capitalist, so he runs the country as a company, stressing efficiency everywhere and focusing on economic interests. Under his rule, the Ming Dynasty completed the agricultural revolution

, completed the progress from handicraft industry to factory handicraft industry, and also accumulated strength in education, scientific research and finance for the industrial revolution.

Although he did not push the Ming Dynasty into the industrial era, the foundation was laid, the road was paved, and the direction was very clear.

Zhu Youjian was originally a feudal emperor in the 17th century. After being trained by his son for more than 50 years, although he learned a lot of skills, his thinking has not changed... He is still an old feudal!

However, his son's teachings greatly broadened his horizons and made him realize the great flaws in the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was of course feudal, but like feudalism in all countries, the Ming Dynasty was not 100% feudal - 100% feudalism did not exist, because no monarch could maintain his rule without direct territory. No land

, there is no population, no taxation, then you are no longer a "proletariat", how can you be a king?

The territories directly under the monarch are basically managed by bureaucrats. Even if those bureaucrats are vassals themselves, or small nobles who own small territories, or hereditary officials with a hereditary salary, they cannot be regarded as

The monarch who administers the land.

Therefore, the feudal system was originally parallel to the bureaucracy, and the Ming Dynasty was certainly no exception. In the Ming Dynasty, there were also territories (population) managed by floating officials and territories (population) managed by hereditary officers or chieftains. At the same time, there were also floating officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Territory jointly managed by world officials and chieftains... In short, there were many ambiguities in the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning, and a strict feudal system was not established.

But there must be considerable feudal elements in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Qin Liangyu, the heroine of Shizhu, and Mu Tianbo, the chief soldier of Yunnan children, are typical feudal lords.

After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di began to implement the vassal ban, which caused the chaotic feudal system of the Ming Dynasty to begin to collapse.

The feudal system is usually used to support the feudal army...conferring land and population to feudal lords or small nobles in exchange for their military service is the essence of feudalism, which is feudal land ownership!

The chaos and collapse of the Ming Dynasty's feudal system naturally led to the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty's feudal army after the Jingnan Campaign.

Now that Zhu Youjian has rebuilt the Ming Dynasty's military force, he must of course consider how to maintain it for a long time.

The method adopted by Zhu Cixiang in his previous life was to establish an elite officer training system and a professional soldier training system at the same time, and let the two restrain each other.

Zhu Youjian felt that these two systems were still weak, so he wanted to rebuild a feudal military aristocracy system - the N generations of the Northern Army who were encircled by Zhu Cihong in Nanjing in his previous life were not feudal aristocrats, because they only had titles and salaries (large

Some people don’t even have titles), no land and no population. They are actually just a group of military bureaucrats from aristocratic families.

However, Zhu Youjian could not turn the officers loyal to him into such aristocratic officers, because he could not manage Northern Zhili into Southern Zhili under Zhu Cixang... So all he could provide to the heroes were small

A fiefdom and a population of hundreds or thousands of households, or a small piece of land linked to military service.

...

Wansheng Hall, Xinuang Pavilion.

"This year is the ninth year of Chongzhen! I inherited the unification in the seventh year of Tianqi, and it has been nearly 10 years... I have been king for 10 years, and I have finally managed a situation of ZTE. Although Liaodong is not peaceful, slaves and thieves

Before it was destroyed, North Korea was invaded by Japanese pirates again. But our Ming Dynasty already had strong troops. Not only did it annex Mongolia, but it also regained Luzon in the Southeast Asia. It was regarded as spreading military force on the sea and showing its power in foreign lands! So what I have to consider now is how to make it more powerful.

Will the Ming Dynasty last another two or three hundred years?"

The one who was talking eloquently was, of course, Zhu Youjian, the leader of the Ming Dynasty and ZTE.

He has been back in Beijing for almost half a month now. This morning he just received a memorial from the Tianjin Shipping Department - Anthony Van Diemen, Hans Putsmann and Zheng Zhihu were on board respectively.

Three medium-sized armed galenic ships loaded with rice arrived at the Dagukou pier. After they arrived at the pier, Hans Putsmann and Zheng Zhihu immediately asked the Tianjin Shipping Department to forward the memorial to Zhu Youjian in Beijing.

So Zhu Youjian now knows about the great victory in Luzon and also knows that a lot was captured in this battle.

However, what he values ​​now is not gold and silver, nor business profits, but land, population, and food. With these three things, Zhu Youjian can start his new feudalism.

Therefore, at today's Xinuang Pavilion hearing (that is, a small court), Zhu Youjian raised the issue of long-term peace and stability.

"Does Long Live Lord want to use feudal methods to make the country last longer?"

Yuanfu Bi Ziyan understood Zhu Youjian's thoughts, but he still had doubts about "new feudalism" and always felt that it was an unsettling factor.

Bi Ziyan paused and said, "In the past, Emperor Wu of Jin probably thought the same way, right?"

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "The Western Jin Dynasty is a world of powerful families, and Wubao is divided... It is actually right to enfeoff. If you don't enfeoff the clan, how can you control the world's powerful families by relying on official officials alone? But he shouldn't choose a fool.

When the prince, the nephew of the emperor is very smart and has little courage. If he is well cultivated, he will be a wise king in the future, not comparable to Emperor Hui and Jianwen of Jin. Moreover, I will not abuse the title like Emperor Wu of Jin, let alone treat the exiled

Land managed by officials was sealed off.

The main thing that is planned to be granted to the scholars is the population... The main thing to be granted to the meritorious officials is the population. The population of the Ming Dynasty is as high as 200 million, so even if 20 million are used to grant the title, it will not be a big deal.

And what I want to discuss with you today is to issue a "Ming Rites and Covenant Law" to make covenants between the king and his ministers, for the clan and the vassal, and for the king, the vassal and the common people to make a covenant."

Of course, Zhu Youjian is not Sima Yan. Sima Yan's world was usurped, while Zhu Youjian's world was fundamentally conquered, and he himself was particularly good at fighting. Therefore, since he became emperor, he has been controlled by the imperial court.

The population of land has actually increased significantly!

Moreover, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the foreign vassals is becoming closer. After a while, they will become even closer and even become relatives.

In addition, Zhu Youjian's plate now is not only from the Ming Dynasty, but also from the Mongol Khan! So what he wants to bring out is not only the "Ming Rites and Laws", but also its Mongolian version.

Therefore, we must discuss it carefully in order to come up with the best plan.

Cifu Wen Tiren asked: "Long live my lord, you said before that the reconstruction of rituals and music started in Korea, so does this "Ming Rites and Laws" also start in Korea?"

"That's of course..." Zhu Youjian said, "Without this treaty, the whole country of Korea would be a piece of scattered sand and cannot be integrated. Li Xin's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses alone are simply not enough to pacify the Eighth Route Army."

Sun Chuanting, who served as the Minister of War, considered and asked: "So, should other vassal states in the Ming Dynasty abide by this "Ming Rites and Laws"?"

"Of course we must defend it!" Zhu Youjian said, "If you don't want to defend it, don't become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!"

In Zhu Youjian's view, although there were many vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, the vassal-vassal relationship was loose. When it was beneficial, they were all vassal states. When it was not beneficial, they would not recognize the Ming Dynasty. It's okay not to have such a vassal state!

After saying "no more", you can still send troops to beat him up!

"Then what if a foreign vassal does not abide by the rules?" Hong Chengchou asked with a frown, "Will the imperial court send troops to attack?"

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "The vassal states of the Ming Dynasty are not easily chosen... I have to cut down the vassal states first, and then establish some vassal states that I can really control."
