A few days after that conversation, Su Jue, Wen Tianrui, Hu Wei and others selected a seventeen-year-old boy named Wang Can from the survivors of the Goryeo royal family and recommended him to become the new King of Goryeo.

The young man was frightened in the fire, his spirit was a little fragile, he could not hear the violent sounds, nor could he see the fire, otherwise he would be so scared that he could not move freely.

For the position of King Goryeo, he is really "excellent".

The result of this recommendation was recognized by Su Yonglin, so Su Yonglin issued an edict as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and formally conferred Wang Can as King Goryeo.

Subsequently, Wang Can conferred Hu Wei as the Prime Minister of Goryeo as the official identity of King Goryeo, allowing him to [representative regent] to become the actual person in power in Goryeo, with complete procedures and legal seals. He was a Prime Minister of Goryeo without any legal issues.

But it is obvious that Hu Wei's previous identity as a Ming official, became the prime minister of Goryeo, would more or less cause some Goryeo officials to worry and question.

They think that Hu Wei served as the Prime Minister of Goryeo as a Ming national, or was in charge of the government affairs in full. It is hard not to doubt what the Ming Dynasty’s real intention was, whether he had the idea of ​​plotting for Goryeo sovereignty, or something like that.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have become the sect leader of Goryeo, but their sovereignty is very boundary and has never ever planned for the national affairs of Goryeo.

This time the Ming Dynasty's behavior is really hard to understand.

For a time, some young Goryeo officials who survived by chance collectively submitted a statement to Wang Can, hoping that he could think more about it, and some people visited Hu Wei specifically, hoping that Hu Wei could explain what the Ming Dynasty meant.

Of course, there is no standard answer to this question.

Although Wang Can is seventeen years old and can rule according to the rules, since Wang Can became the King of Goryeo and completed the canonization ceremony, he was asked to live in the deep palace and not go out without anything.

He and the Goryeo royal family were strictly under strict supervision by Ming soldiers and were under semi-mandatory house arrest. The officials' report was naturally unable to be sent to Wang Can, and Wang Can could not see it at all.

It is true that even if Wang Can see these remarks, it is impossible for him to make any effective changes.

The Goryeo officials in Kaicheng could only see Hu Wei, and if they had any questions, they could only consult Hu Wei and wait for Hu Wei to deal with it.

They were dissatisfied and questioned, but their dissatisfaction and doubts did not give them any answers.

They were all removed from their posts and were placed under house arrest and were not allowed to go out without any trouble.

Their positions were replaced by young Ming officials who had been constantly arriving in Goryeo from them. Ming officials were appointed as formal Goryeo officials by "Wang Can" in groups of three or three, and began to implement the powers of the Goryeo central government and began to assume responsibilities.

They also issued orders to the entire Goryeo land, requiring them to accept the rule of the Kaicheng court, recognize the rule of the Kaicheng court, and not to be lip service, etc.

At the same time, the Revival Association also started activities in Goryeo. They began to recruit members of Goryeo to join and carry out grassroots activities at the local level, changing Goryeo little by little from the grassroots level.

This was mid-March of the tenth year of Hongwu.

After the disaster in Goryeo, the chaos was suddenly calmed down by the Ming Dynasty and restored order. The new king ascended the throne. It seemed that everything had returned to normal, but the local area was not without doubts.

"Hongwu Political Commentary" has been circulating in Goryeo for a long time. "Hongwu Political Commentary" is nominally prohibited from flowing, but the ruling class and local landlords and powerful people have already read it, and some have read it more than once, and are very interested in "Hongwu Political Commentary".

It is precisely because of a deep understanding of the national attributes of the Ming Dynasty and some extraordinary behaviors of Emperor Su Yonglin that local officials and powerful landlords were worried about Ming Dynasty's intervention in Goryeo politics and were worried that Ming Dynasty would also implement some internal policies in Goryeo.

For example, land reform and other things.

They don’t care who will be the King of Goryeo, but when it comes to land reform, it really touches their core interests.

It is related to core interests, and they will never take even one step.

Everyone saw what the landlords and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were like. If they were asked to repeat the same mistake, they would not agree.

This concern made most of the officials in the Goryeo area prepare for Run, and a small number prepare for resistance to the end.

The landlords and powerful people who were rooted in the local area silently strengthened their own force and prepared that if things were not good and the Ming Dynasty planned to cause trouble, they would use force to defend their family industry.

Whether successful or not, this attitude is necessary and must not be made to the Ming people think they are easy to bully.

The army has only one hundred thousand, but it really touches the core interests of the landlords and powerful people, and the rebels can be far more than one hundred thousand.

As for the response to the central government, most local officials gave clear responses, expressing their willingness to accept the rule of the Kaicheng court and must abide by the orders.

After all, the powerful Ming army was stationed inside and outside Kaicheng. Isn’t it equivalent to giving the Ming army a reason to come directly to beat them?

You can't do such stupid things.

Local officials not far from Kaicheng generally responded positively, not wanting to provoke the Ming army.

The officials who were far away from Kaicheng had more room for rest and thought that things were to be seen, and felt that the Ming army was unlikely to cross most of the Goryeo territory to deal with them, so they could wait and see the situation and not rush to reply to the Kaicheng court.

The situation in Goryeo is in chaos, but there is also a possibility that it is about to break out, and it may be decided within a few months.

On the other hand, Han Jinggui felt the weather warm in March, so he requested a second Northern Expedition to the grassland, and continued to solve the problems that were not solved in winter, and vowed to completely eliminate the tribe alliance in the forest and tour the Beihai.

After discussing with the Privy Council, the General Staff Headquarters believed that the general situation of the tribe in the forest was over and the remaining crowds were not enough to become a threat. He felt that there was no need to launch another Northern Expedition, so he informed Su Yonglin of the suggestion and suggested not launching another Northern Expedition.

After thinking carefully, Su Yonglin believed that the war should be done with all his strength. Since there were still other thieves, he should go to the scene and beat the dogs in the water.

It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, and not to seek fame and learn from the overlord.

So Su Yonglin ordered the General Staff Headquarters and the Privy Council to plan this battle and allow Han Jinggui's request for the Northern Expedition. Because the forest tribe did not have much threat, he made 10,000 Iron Cavalry of the Huben Imperial Guards in Zhongdu, and 10,000 cavalry directly under the Third Corps, with a total of 20,000 cavalry launching the second Northern Expedition.

The purpose of this Northern Expedition is to search and suppress the remaining enemies, tour the Beihai, set national border markers in the Beihai, etc.

The General Staff Headquarters and the Privy Council received the order to plan the war and ordered Han Jinggui to launch a Northern Expedition.

So in early April of the tenth year of Hongwu, Han Jinggui and Zhong Xuemin dispatched again, leading 10,000 cavalry to launch a northern expedition, vowing to do their best.

After the Northern Expedition of the Third Corps began, Su Yonglin received news reports from the Sichuan Provincial Government and garrison.

In short, in order to respond to Su Yonglin's request, the Dali Kingdom had sent troops to assist the Ming Dynasty in cracking down on the anti-Ming barbarian tribes living in southern Sichuan.

The anti-Ming tribes generally live in deep mountains and forests. The local Ming army was not very familiar with the roads and it took a lot of effort to attack them. However, the Dali army was obviously familiar with the roads. Not only did they send troops to fight themselves, but they also sent guides to the Ming Dynasty who were familiar with the roads.

So starting from February of the 10th year of Hongwu, Xu Tong led the Eighth Corps to launch a straightforward and complete encirclement and suppression of the anti-Ming tribes in southern Sichuan, and took a tough attitude of strong attacks on the anti-Ming tribes, demonstrating the uncompromising attitude of the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time shocked the tribes of the centrists.

This battle was made with the Dali guide who was familiar with the terrain and the Dali army's attack from south to north, which caused the Ming army and the Dali army to form a situation of attacking north and south, and launched a devastating destruction attack on some anti-Ming tribe armed forces who thought they had successfully defended themselves.

By mid-April, this small local war had been going on for two months.

The Eighth Corps destroyed a total of thirteen anti-Ming tribes, eliminated more than 13,000 anti-Ming tribe armed, captured more than 40,000 anti-Ming tribe armed, and captured more than 100,000 people.
