I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 349 Lianzhou returns to Guangxi

As soon as Seoul arrived, the overall situation in North Korea was decided.

With the help of the Ming army, Li Bin officially ascended the throne as king in Seoul.

And ordered to declare throughout North Korea:
North Korea will once again respect the Ming Dynasty as its suzerainty, and denounce the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the Huru and Tatar chieftains. They just stole the artifact from the Central Plains!
As soon as this order came out, all the people in North Korea surrendered.

Not to mention Hwanghae Province and Gangwon Province, even Ping'an Province and Hamgyeong Province, which faced the Qing army directly and were killed until their borders were emptied of ten houses and filled with refugees, all surrendered to the new king.

As for the Qing army in Liaodong, which was just around the corner, it had long been selectively ignored by the Korean monarchs and ministers.

With Ming's father here, these Liaodong Qing troops were originally driven to Liaodong by Ming's father.

North Korea has the support of Ming Dynasty father, so why should it be afraid of these Manchu barbarians?
This is not the first time that North Korea has been arrogant with the Manchus and ridiculed the Manchus.

Historically, North Korean monarchs and ministers had publicly ridiculed and rebuked Huang Taiji, and even confronted Huang Taiji.

Then...of course, it didn't happen at all.

The Bangzi Kingdom also made a rare realistic movie about this. It is really rare. In it, the king of Joseon took off his vassal robe and knelt down to Huang Taiji...

It was the end of November when Zhu Yijiong received the report on the Korean War.

After some discussions with the cabinet, the decree was issued at the end of that month:
The canonization envoys were sent to Seoul to formally canonize Li Ming as King of Joseon.

Zhu Yijiong does have some thoughts about North Korea, but it is obviously impossible and unrealistic at this stage.

Although it is easy for the Ming army to push forward in North Korea now, this is partly because the North Korean army's combat effectiveness is too poor, and on the other hand it is also because of the appeal of Li Bin, the new king of North Korea.

For those North Korean elites, they surrendered because of King Yi Bang of North Korea.

Once the Ming army clearly states its intention to completely annex North Korea, it is afraid that it will immediately encounter fierce resistance from the North Korean aristocracy, and even many North Korean people will join.

If the Ming army wants to attack North Korea, it will definitely win, but it is not cost-effective.

Just suppressing the rebellions one after another can make the Ming Dynasty spend a lot of money in North Korea.

The most important thing is that the peninsula is a place where resources are scarce, and what you need is not available.

If it really succeeds, Ming Dynasty will have to invest money to manage it, and it will not be easy to squeeze out of it.

The Qing army in Liaodong was not destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty would fight in Liaodong next. In addition to transporting food and blood transfusions from North Zhili, there was also North Korea.

If you swallow it now, how can you squeeze out food?

Moreover, this Li Bin relied entirely on the strength of the Ming army to ascend the throne.Therefore, he must rely more heavily on the Ming army because he does not have much foundation.

There is no need to worry that North Korea will rebel when it becomes stronger. North Korea only has such a small population to win over the Communist Party.

As long as the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not end, the Ming army would have to continuously draw blood from North Korea.

North Korea needs a hammer to become stronger!

……

The Korean War came to an end.

Guangxi.

The terrain here is mountainous and difficult to navigate.The Han population is also pitifully small, accounting for only [-]% of the province's population.

Moreover, because of King Lin's previous sins, the area where the Han people lived in eastern Guangxi suffered serious population losses.

A large number of Han people either died in military disasters or fled to western Guangxi. Even the provincial capital of Guilin was reduced to rubble.

The governor of Guangxi sent by the central government of the Ming Dynasty could only temporarily live in Wuzhou Fucheng to work.

It’s just a sojourn, but there will definitely be changes in the future.

Wuzhou is too close to Guangdong and water transportation is indeed developed, but it is not suitable for being a provincial capital.

Xu Jin's Third Army did not attack the state capital westward for the past year, but instead tried its best to suppress the rebellion in Pinglefu.

It took almost a year of fighting before the Pingle Mansion, which was smashed to pieces by King Lin, was leveled.

The Ming army also suffered a lot of casualties for this, not only from fighting guerrillas in the mountains, but also from the poisonous arrows of these soldiers, which were simply impossible to guard against.

Fortunately, there are not only children in Pingle Mansion, but also Yao people.

The Ming Emperor accepted a Yao concubine, which not only made him a good friend of Bapai Yao, but also made good friends of the entire Yao tribe.Although the Yao people in different places are not in contact with each other, there are two different Yao tribes in Shaozhou, Guangdong, namely Bapai Yao and Guoshan Yao.

But after all, some relationships can be established, and the Yao people in Pinglefu are good friends with the children, and their relationship is closer than that of the Han children.

In this way, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's policy of governing the people, it is far from comparable to that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and King Lin.

King Lin only knew how to kill people, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty adopted a high-pressure policy towards the minority people for a long time (obviously they were also minority people...), and even took the initiative to send troops to attack to force them to rebel.

Relying on the political role brought by this Yao concubine, the Ming army first gained the trust of the Yao people in Pinglefu.They also relied on the help and lobbying of these Yao people to suppress and appease them.

Regardless of Han people, Tong people, or Yao people, they were all treated equally. After spending a lot of time and energy, the household registration was finally completed in Pingle Mansion.

The chieftain system no longer exists in Pinglefu!

It took the Ming army a whole year, and it seemed that they only defeated Pinglefu, but the grassroots rule was more reliable than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and King Lin.

The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were purely compromising with the chieftains. It seemed that they had taken over these places, but in fact there were not many territories that they could actually control. The territories controlled by the chieftains were uncontrollable.

Otherwise, the Manchus would not have forced the Qing Dynasty to reform the country and even force the other party to rebel and fight.

The Miao uprising in Guzhou shocked the central government of the Qing Dynasty throughout history, and even the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou resigned.

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou at that time was a close confidant of Yongzheng. It was Zhang Guangsi, then governor of Huguang, who came to power to quell the rebellion. He also directly appointed governors of six provinces to quell the rebellion.

As for King Lin, this guy is a fool.

It seemed that they had captured Guizhong and Guidong, but in fact they could only control Fucheng. Rebellious soldiers emerged one after another in the local areas. After the main force was dispersed, they went to fight guerrillas in the mountains.

Anyway, there is no shortage of mountainous areas in Guangxi. King Lin was so distressed that Pinglefu, the most troubled area, was gradually abandoned.

He also asked Zhu Yijiong to wipe his butt, which lasted almost a year.

……

In the third year of the Jianwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, 1724 AD.

end of november.

Zhu Yijiong saw the memorial jointly signed by the governor of Guangxi and Xu Jin of the Third Army, reporting that Pingyuefu had completed household registration and unified the people.

Then Zhu Pi said: "Read it. Let the Privy Council and the Cabinet discuss merits and reward them!"

After the approval, three imperial edicts were immediately issued.

The first imperial edict was to exempt Pingle Mansion from paying taxes for one year.

The war has been going on here for a year, and the local people must be allowed to recuperate.Moreover, the population loss here is serious, and this is also needed to attract Han people from adjacent to the state capital to immigrate and enrich the place.

The second imperial edict announced that the Tong tribe in Guangxi would be changed to the Zhuang tribe in Guangxi.

Because the term "tongren" has a discriminatory meaning, in Chinese writings, descriptions of "tongren" often have the word "dog" next to them, and "tongren" also means "servant".

Changed to Zhuang, the pronunciation is still the same, but the meaning is completely different.

The third imperial edict changed the administrative divisions of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangdong was merged into the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi.

Geographically, Lianzhou should indeed belong to Guangxi.Lianzhou is more like an enclave in Guangdong.

This is also easy to understand, because there are too many Zhuang Yao in Guangxi, accounting for [-]% of the province.

How could the kings of all ages be reassured?

Therefore, we must suppress them in all aspects, not only to force these people to fight for the imperial court, but also to impose heavy taxes and corvees on them, and finally turn Guangxi into an inland province geographically.

Without an outlet to the sea, Guangxi has a mountainous terrain, making it difficult to develop.

It can be said that Zhu Yijiong's three imperial edicts not only gave respect to the Zhuang people in Guangxi, but also eased the relationship between the Han and Zhuang people.

Moreover, the transfer of Lianzhou to Guangxi also gave Guangxi development opportunities.

Guangxi now has access to the sea.
