On March 15, the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the palace examination for the I-Hai-Kei-Ke was held in the Changdeok Palace, Seoul, King of the Ming Dynasty. The palace examination was personally presided over by Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ci-kyung, the King of the North Korean King, Li Yen, the King of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial College, the Imperial College Supervisor, Huang Dao Zhou, and the Left Minister of the Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Shisheng, and others were accompanied by the side.

The title of this palace examination is "The king, the king, the minister, the father, the father, the son, the son". Uh, this seems a bit vulgar, it is not that Zhu Cijiu is not educated. This sentence is also extracted from the Four Books and Five Classics. It comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Yan Yuan Chapter". The original text is: Duke Jing of Qi asked Confucius about politics. Confucius replied: "The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son."

The general meaning of this sentence is that the monarch should be like a monarch, the minister should be like a minister, the father should be like a father, and the son should be like a son. Confucius believed that this is the main reason for national turmoil because the hierarchy order was destroyed. As long as the hierarchy order is restored, the country can be governed.

Zhu Cijing quoted this sentence mainly to make Korean officials reflect on what the way of the monarch and the subject is, and the meaning is very obvious. His Majesty Zhu Cijing, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, is the monarch, while Lingyang Jun Li Yu is just a minister. You must understand the subordinate relationship and don’t always think that North Korea is an independent country outside the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cijiu has also presided over three palace exams and is naturally familiar with this process. He sat there with a smile waiting for the candidates to come forward to pick up the questions one by one, nodding from time to time, showing off his way to the look that I admire you very much.

This time he doesn't have to worry about the top scorer, because all the top scorers have been decided, including the top scorers Hong Yihan, the second scorers Yin Ji, and the Tanhua Wu Daji. It's not that these three are very famous, and Zhu Cijing doesn't know who they are. The main reason is that these three are famous pro-Ming factions, or major factions.

The King of Korea said one thing and did another, but the propaganda of greatism for more than a hundred years still had a great influence on the Korean people, as stated in the ancient Korean book "Xiangyuan Title": "Although it is overseas, the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons are the same as the Central Plains; it is filial piety and brotherly, abides by etiquette and law, and the law of the crime and politics, and follows the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty." For example, when Sejong of Korea created the Korean literature, Minister Choi Wanli and others submitted a memorial to oppose: "Since our ancestors, our dynasty has been sincere in our affairs and has followed the Chinese system. Now when we are in the same language and the same course, we will create proverbs, which is shocking. If there are people who are criticized, wouldn't they be ashamed of the great admiration of the Chinese? "

It can be seen that the idea of ​​Da Muhua in the folk affairs of North Korea is still very popular. Of course, this is not enough. What Zhu Cijiu does not want is the vassal states who are sincere in their affairs. He admires Hua Muhua. What he wants is that all vassal states will integrate into the Ming Dynasty and regard himself as a part of the Ming Dynasty.

The tribute student below was answering questions quietly. Zhu Cijiu sat there and seemed to be invigilating the exam, but in fact he was considering how to control the vassal states. From the first conversation between him and Li Nei of Lingyang, we can see that the kings of these vassal states were quite respectful of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they did not act too ruthlessly, they should not arouse too much resistance. At the same time, they were very envious of the Ming army, hoping that their troops could also achieve the combat power of the Ming army.

Zhu Cijing now figured it out that the army is the key to controlling the vassal states. As long as the army of the vassal state is in its hands, they will become naked lambs and can only be slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this vassal state should also be treated differently. A vassal state like North Korea, which has been in the tradition of Damuhua, can also give them a little nominal command of the army, such as Annan and even the future Japan, which will not be related to the army, and once they are involved, they will have bad thoughts.

The palace examination continued, and Zhu Cijiu's thinking became clearer and clearer. Seeing the candidate pick up his pen and write quickly, he thought that maybe he should have written an article. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had too loosely managed these vassal states and basically let them go. The more obedient the vassal states were, the more enthusiastic the Ming Dynasty was. If the vassal states were perfunctory, the Ming Dynasty would not have any punishment measures, so that these vassal states gradually became disinterested. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty could die, and which vassal state had sent one army and one soldier!

If this continues, it is definitely not true. There must be a system. The Ming Dynasty will soon start the colonial cause. If there is no strict system to manage these countries and places outside the country, wouldn’t it be the old path of colonizing powers? When a while, the households will be defeated back to their original form. For example, Portugal, the former maritime overlord, has been defeated back to their original form, Spain is soon, and the Netherlands is not far away. Only Britain has persisted for the longest time, but in the end they end up following their younger brothers and waving flags and shouting, which is really ridiculous.

The palace examination for Yihai Enke was successfully concluded. The top scholar Hong Yihan took the big red flower to parade, but Zhu Cijing stayed in Changde Palace and thought hard and started his first article in his life. No one could ask about this article, because no one could know the subsequent development process like him. He could only do it himself and do this article well.

Three days later, on March 18, the eighth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijing, announced the famous "The Decree of the Ming Dynasty" in Seoul, the kingdom of Korea, and the first to propose the management method of territory outside the territory of the sect leader.

The order system divides the territory outside the sect leader's land into three levels:

The first class is a vassal state. The vassal state is managed by the vassal kings enthroned by the Emperor of the Ming Empire. It has a high degree of autonomy. All the people of the vassal state are under the jurisdiction of the vassal state. Officials of the vassal state are appointed and removed by the vassal state, and the tax revenue of the vassal state is collected by the vassal state.

This is a right, and if you have a right, you must have an obligation.

Economically, the vassal kings must open all ports to the Ming Dynasty for business purposes. Local merchants of the Ming Empire could conduct commercial activities at any port, but countries outside the Ming Dynasty could not trade with them without the Ming Dynasty.

In military terms, the vassal kings can form vassal state army, but the generals must be appointed and removed by the Ming Ministry of War. The vassal kings have the command of the army, but the transfer of the vassal kings must be unconditionally abide by the orders of the vassal kings. In order to facilitate management and communication, the generals appointed by the Ming Dynasty and the generals of the local vassal state each account for half of the vassal state army. The philosophical kings are responsible for the equipment and training of the army, while the vassal kings are responsible for the supply of military pay and supplies for the army.

The second class is a vassal state. The vassal state is managed by the vassal king enthroned by the Emperor of the Ming Empire. It has partial autonomy. All the people of the vassal state are under the jurisdiction of the king. The taxes of the vassal state are collected by the vassal king. However, the vassal state officials must apply for the vassal king to be appointed and removed by the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty.

Economically, the king must open all ports to the Ming Dynasty for business purposes. Local merchants of the Ming Empire could conduct commercial activities at any port, but countries outside the Ming Dynasty could not trade with them without the Ming Dynasty.

In military terms, the king has no right to form an army, and the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War sent generals to recruit them in the vassal state. The king can apply for military assistance, but he has no right to command the army. The army's equipment, training and mobilization are all under the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War. The king is only responsible for the military pay and supplies of the army.

The third class is territorial land, which is managed by the governor appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Empire. All territorial people are under the jurisdiction of the Ming Ministry of Revenue. The taxes on the territorial land shall be collected by the Ming Ministry of Revenue. The officials in the territorial land shall be appointed and removed by the Ming Ministry of Personnel.

Economically, the territory was fully implemented in accordance with the Ming Dynasty plan. In military, the territory was dispatched by the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War.

The order also stipulates that all vassal states, vassal states, and territories must use the scriptures of the Ming Dynasty to learn the learning of sages, vassal kings, and scholars who are not acquainted with sages shall not inherit the vassal kings, and the vassal people shall all participate in the imperial examinations organized by the Ming Dynasty. However, those who have no fame and fame shall not serve as vassal states or vassal officials.

The last order is: Any vassal states that violate the "Ming Dynasty's Vocational State Order System" will violate the violation once and be reduced to a higher level. In other words, there will be another chance of violation by the vassal states. If the vassal states violate it, there will be no chance of violation by it!

"The System of the State of the Ming Dynasty" can be said to be the most important decree in the colonial history of the Ming Empire. It has great significance and far-reaching influence on the colonial cause of the Ming Empire... These are all later stories, so I will not mention it for now.

By the way, North Korea is lucky. It has violated the regulations of the order system for no time or twice. However, it was all before the order system was announced. As the saying goes, Zhu Cijiu, in order to commend them for their greatism of practice for more than 100 years, was very respectful to the Ming Dynasty and specially designated North Korea as a first-class vassal state.

Under the pressure of more than 300,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, King Lingyang Lee Nai had to accept the "Ming Dynasty Vocational State Order System" and honestly became his vassal king. At this time, his inner pain was unspeakable. If the army followed the order, his command was not as large as the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War, which was equivalent to giving people a handle and completely no chance to turn around. However, he did not know that there were very few vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, most of which were vassal states or even territories, which were much worse than him!

After the promulgation of the "Ming Dynasty's Vocational State Order System", Zhu Cijing did not return to the capital immediately. He personally organized Qin Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong, Huang Daozhou, Qian Shisheng and others to discuss the establishment of the North Korean army with officials from the vassal state headed by the King of Ringyangjun Li Nei.

The navy doesn't need to think about it. Even if the order system restricts the army of the vassal states, Zhu Cijing doesn't want the vassal states to have their own naval states. Having a navy in the colonial era means you have the ability to seize wealth and land. He doesn't want to compete with his vassal states for the colonies at that time. It's embarrassing to say it, and simply let them lose this ability and end it all.

Li Jue, the army's army's Lingyangjun, did not want to provide too much. According to the regulations, the Ming Dynasty was actually the one who benefited in the end. He did not want to pay for the Ming Dynasty to raise so many troops. So in the end, North Korea only set a 100,000 army organization, and just took up a corps. The commander of the army Zhu Cijing also made a decision for them. He directly transferred the former Changping General You Shiwei to serve as the chief general of the North Korean army and the position of assistant general. As for the deputy general, the generals were the North Korean generals, and the guerrillas were the Ming and North Korea each accounted for half.

As for equipment, Zhu Cijing naturally would not give them the best. It just so happened that the First Legion and Second Legion of the Imperial Guards eliminated a batch of old-fashioned flintlock rifles, and they just had to give them the same. They should not think about artillery, grenades, etc., as cannon fodder does not need these.
