I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 108 Expedition to Korea?

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, personally announced that in the spring of next year, the top priority would be the expedition to Korea.

What's more, it's still a royal conquest!
He also asked Wei Zhongxian to read the "Conquest and Suppression Document", denouncing the 28 major crimes of the King of Koryo, including treachery, hiding a knife in a smile, adultery with Japanese people, and secretly forming slaves.

In addition, Zhu Youjian announced that the entire Ming Dynasty entered the first level of preparations for war, and all smelting, mining, shipbuilding, salt and iron, etc. in the country were owned by the imperial court, and they were actively preparing for war.

Among them, the most important point is to exempt all land taxes in the whole world for ten years.

In other words, within ten years, all farmers will not have to pay taxes.

In Zhu Youjian's words, it is to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to flatten the Koryo Peninsula!

There was an uproar in the court hall.

This idiot emperor doesn't talk about martial arts, so he just hits him?Koryo, isn't that a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty?
How can there be any reason to attack one's own country?
At the same time, since it is necessary to use the power of the whole country to flatten Goryeo, what is the point of exempting the whole country from land taxes?Could it be that the idiot emperor doesn't need food and grass to fight?

This is simply absurd!

Of course, the imperial court cannot avoid the land tax, and everyone is noncommittal about it. Anyway, whether to pay the land tax has nothing to do with officials, merchants, and wealthy families.

Therefore, civil servants and military officers are most concerned about the ownership of smelting, mining, shipbuilding, and salt and iron...

After all, that's the foundation of everyone's life. You Zhu Youjian accept it as soon as you say it?

Since the Yongle Dynasty, industries such as salt and iron and mines have always been operated by officials from all over the country in collusion with local wealthy families. Why do you want to take it back, you dog emperor?
Are you still not human?
For a while, a large number of officials fell to their knees in the Jinluan Palace, weeping blood one after another, counting the dozens of disasters in the expedition to Goryeo, Zhu Youjian almost believed it himself.

Take a look, take a look, this is the official of the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, the expedition to Goryeo is the way to subjugate the country. The ancients said that the fundamental disaster of our Ming Dynasty is the rebellion of refugees and rampant bandits, Your Majesty!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, you must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. The people of Ming Dynasty can't even eat a bite of food. Your Majesty is so aggressive. How can you have the face to meet your ancestors after a hundred years, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back..."

……

Looking at the fat buttocks of the ministers sticking up high, just like those outdated cannons, it seems that they may make a 'poof' at any time and let out a faint fart.

Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, was furious.

A loud 'bang' sound.

A large huanghuali wood table in front of the emperor was turned into a pile of wooden slag, and a large pile of inscription books placed on it was also shattered by Zhu Youjian's palm, turning into a piece of paper scraps, which fluttered all over the ground .

"It's a good thing that you must first settle down when you fight against the outside world. Who is saying that? Hehe, it's Feng Quan, Minister of Rites and Dongge University scholar?"

"You are very good. You are really a good loyal minister of mine. At the same time, I am afraid that you are also a good minister of Emperor Jiannu Mang Gurtai?"

"In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, you sold my defense map of Shanhaiguan in Liaodong to Huang Taiji at a price of 180 million taels of silver, which caused my Daming to lose 300 elite soldiers and lose seven or eight passes outside the pass."

"Okay, you're fine, very fine!"

"Feng Quan, tell me, why is it that you must first settle inside when you fight against the outside world?"

Every morning, when he was drowsy, Zhu Youjian, who had the image of an idiot emperor, suddenly showed his powerful and domineering face, and the ministers were all dumbfounded.

In particular, the newly promoted Minister of Rites and Feng Quan, a scholar of Dongge University, was shaking like a sieve, and his soul was lost. He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, and he could squeeze out a handful of water when he was wet...

"Long live God, please forgive me, Long live God, please forgive me, the old minister is confused..."

"Wei Zhongxian, what should Feng Quan do?" Zhu Youjian asked expressionlessly.

"Long Live Lord, Feng Quan betrayed the country and colluded with the enemy, and plotted wrongdoing. He should be sentenced to be hanged and wiped out the nine clans." Wei Zhongxian bowed and said.

"Come here, put Feng Quan on death row, and order Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate him and track down his accomplices who conspired against him!"

When the eunuch gave an order, the two guards in Jinyi suddenly agreed, and brought Feng Quan, who had been frightened into a puddle of mud, out.

"There is also the one who said that my expedition to Korea is the way to subjugate the country, who is that love?" Zhu Youjian sat down slowly, picked up a bowl of tea, and slowly sipped it.

"Long Live Lord, it is Jin Zhijun, the left servant of the Ministry of War." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Another great loyal minister, but you Jin Zhijun is not my loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, but a loyal minister of Jiannu Huang Taiji."

"The front-line defense of Xifengkou is slack and the city wall is in disrepair for a long time. You, Jin Zhijun, sold it to Huang Taiji, right?"

"It's a pity that Huang Taiji was bombarded to death by me. You have become a bereaved dog, and you still have the face to tell me how to govern the country here?"

"Drag it down, die with a stick!"

For this Jin Zhijun, the idiot emperor directly ordered the stick to be killed, but he didn't do the same thing again, mainly because his status was still a bit embarrassing.

This guy is actually relative and cousin to Mao Yuanyi...

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian went out in person, denounced the officials, and counted some of the heinous crimes among them.

As for how to convict, whether to kill or cut, or even sit, Wei Zhongxian was in control, and a rather thrilling battle came to a successful conclusion.

Of course, the people Zhu Youjian killed were not random killings.

This is one of the conclusive evidences of connecting with foreign countries and betraying the country for glory.

The most important basis is the "Biography of Second Officials" edited by Emperor Qianlong who was the later Jiannu.

Zhu Youjian is not a vicious person, but he is by no means a good-natured person without a temper.

Is it easy for me to lose my family?

All of you are loyal and weeping blood in the court, and when you change to a new master, your buttocks will still stick out at the feet of those pig-tailed emperors.

Or is it loyal and loyal, weeping blood?

That might as well kill him!
Thus, at the beginning of spring, the "basic national policy" for the expedition to Goryeo by the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian was smoothly finalized.

The next step is to raise food, weapons, chariots, guards of honor and other miscellaneous tasks. Wei Zhongxian, Mao Yuanyi, Qian Qianyi and others will organize it. Zhu Youjian retreated cleanly and returned to the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace...

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The report of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian's expedition to Goryeo has not yet reached the governor's office in various places, but it has spread all over the country, north and south, and up and down the Changhe River.

Those big officials in frontiers and wealthy aristocratic families have their own "superior people" flying pigeons to pass on their letters.

The news known to the common people was spread by Zhu Youjian.

Officials, wealthy aristocratic families, etc., naturally cared about smelting, mining, salt and iron, etc., and none of them did not denounce the idiot emperor as a fool.

On the contrary, the common people were blown up.

Because the news is very accurate, that is, in the next ten years, all land taxes, corvees, etc. will be exempted!
The most widely circulated sentence is "the tiller has his land, and there is no tax for farming", which is said to be said by the current Long Live Lord himself, which is absolutely accurate!

This news simply made the common people go crazy with joy.

Especially in Shaanxi-Gansu, Henan, Shandong, Zhili and other places that were most affected by the disaster, this news, like a 'rumor', spread faster and more mysteriously...

Until some local officials came forward to refute the rumors and began to arrest ordinary people who "spread rumors and believe rumors".

In Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, and Shanxi, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, a large-scale peasant uprising suddenly broke out.

　Thanks to the brothers and sisters who have followed up all the way, the author is very grateful, and can only code carefully.
