Chapter 812: The Impact Of The Eastern Conquest Of Japan And The Annexation Of Goryeo [Please Subscr
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's few words before and after, he determined that the Ming Dynasty would next conquer the Japanese country and annex Goryeo.
At this moment, each of the six ministers, nine ministers, the Duke of Guo, and other civil servants, generals, and noble marquises mentally tore off part of the "Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Plan" that they had originally prepared.
Then he quickly drafted a new "Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Plan" in his mind that involved himself, regarding the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Korea.
For example, in the hearts of all the princes, nobles, marquises and generals, there was no plan to conquer Japan eastward and annex Goryeo.
But now that it is determined to conquer Japan and annex Korea, it is worth considering carefully which generals should be recommended to lead the army to conquer Japan and annex Korea.
After all, things like the Eastern Expedition to Japan and the annexation of Goryeo, as long as we don't encounter natural disasters like typhoons and proceed steadily, then it will only be too late to bulldoze Yi and Goryeo in the end.
And what does this mean?!!
This means Sheji’s military exploits!!!
You must know that the rule of the Ming Dynasty is: No title can be awarded if it is not for military service!
In other words, if you have military merit, you can be knighted!!!
The military achievements of Sheji in the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Goryeo could bring at least two marquis titles and one earl title.
As for who will lead the army to conquer Japan and annex Goryeo, it means that these two marquis titles and the nearly ten earl titles will most likely fall to the relevant generals who lead the army.
Therefore, it is worthy of careful consideration by all the princes, marquises and nobles which generals should be recommended to lead the army to conquer Japan and annex Goryeo.
Another example is the Ministry of Industry. It was originally not determined to conquer Japan and annex Korea, so naturally it should not consider matters related to conquering Japan and annexing Korea.
Now that it is determined to conquer Japan and annex Goryeo, first of all, a large number of naval warships will be needed to conquer Japan. The Ministry of Industry must go back and determine whether the number of naval warships in various coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty is sufficient.
If it is not enough, then we must quickly build new naval warfare ships, so as not to delay the eastward expedition to Japan.
This also involves the deployment of ship craftsmen, the collection and purchase of shipbuilding raw materials, and other matters.
And all of this requires money!
Then it is natural to formulate a plan for the "Eastern Expedition to Japan Shipbuilding Project" and then request corresponding funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In addition, there is also the matter of annexing Goryeo. Let’s not mention other things for now. At least a concrete road must be built from Ming Dynasty to Goryeo.
In this way, the time required to march from the Ming Dynasty to Goryeo will be greatly shortened.
By then, the Ming Dynasty will be able to mobilize more troops and soldiers, rush to the battlefield of Goryeo at a faster speed, and then suppress all dissatisfaction.
This also involves the deployment of craftsmen for building concrete cement roads, as well as the collection and purchase of raw materials for building concrete cement roads.
Regarding the former, it is easy to say that the deployment of craftsmen for building concrete cement roads is an internal matter of the Ministry of Industry. We can look back and see where to deploy and arrange.
The latter also involves the need for funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In addition, Goryeo has tens of billions of tons of iron ore and 15 billion tons of coal [then it is necessary to open a steel smelting and briquette manufacturing plant in Goryeo.
This also involves the deployment of human resources such as steel smelting craftsmen and briquette production craftsmen, and it is definitely necessary to mobilize some Ministry of Industry officials who were responsible in the past.
At that time, which officials from the Ministry of Industry will be transferred to be in charge, and which officials from the Ministry of Industry will be promoted to the original steel smelting plant and briquette manufacturing and production plant after the transfer.
These are all things that he, the Minister of Works, and other officials from the Ministry of Works need to consider carefully.
Another example is the Ministry of Personnel. Let’s not mention the Eastern Conquest of the Japanese Kingdom. This is across a sea area. Even if we want to defeat the Japanese Kingdom, it may not be that fast.
But once the annexation of Goryeo is confirmed, it will be really quick to capture Goryeo.
After all, Goryeo and Ming Dynasty bordered on land, which meant that Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands or millions of troops could be mobilized at any time.
And if Ming Dynasty’s hundreds of thousands or millions of troops could be mobilized, would there be room for Goryeo to resist?!!
It must be impossible!!!
On this point, all the ministers of the Great Wise Monarch have extremely strong confidence in this.
So the result is nothing more than two possibilities: Goryeo wants to be dignified by itself, or Ming Dynasty helps it look decent.
Regardless of the outcome, Goryeo was destined to be merged into the Ming Dynasty.
Then by then, Goryeo will definitely have provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties to manage it.
If Goryeo was to be managed by provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, then management officials at all levels would definitely have to be equipped.
This involves the promotion and transfer of Ming officials.
For example, some people were taught in the Ming Dynasty, promoted, and sent to Korea to serve as county magistrates.
Another example is that some county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty were promoted and transferred to Goryeo as magistrates.
Another example is the promotion and transfer of certain magistrates from the Ming Dynasty to Korea as magistrates.
In other words, a certain prefect of the Ming Dynasty was promoted and transferred to Goryeo to serve as chief envoy.
After these local Ming officials were promoted and transferred to Goryeo, which officials should be promoted and transferred to fill their original vacancies was also a big problem.
You must know that the gap in the number of officials in a provincial region is huge.
The promotion and transfer of so many officials will definitely cause shock in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, right now, more than 2,000 local officials who also participated in the Great Court Meeting are thinking about whether to move around and see if they can be transferred to Goryeo.
Although Goryeo originally seemed to them to be a remote and backward place, now that they know that Goryeo is so rich in gold, silver, copper, coal, iron, limestone and other resources, Goryeo will definitely develop in the future.
Now that he has been transferred to Goryeo to serve as county magistrate, magistrate, governor, and chief envoy, as Goryeo develops in the future, he will inevitably add a touch of dazzling political achievements to his local resume!
At that time, whether it is to continue to be transferred to another place in the Ming Dynasty to continue to be promoted, or to directly enter the six central departments of the imperial court, it will be extremely beneficial.
Moreover, Goryeo is located in a remote area. If you want to transfer them there, then in order to compensate them, most likely it will be a rising tone instead of a flat tone.
This means that they are very likely to be promoted from the current county magistrate to the prefecture, the current prefecture to the prefect, and the current prefect to the chief envoy.
You know, in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be promoted from a county magistrate to a prefecture, or from a prefecture to a prefect, it will take at least ten or twenty years, and at most three to forty years.
But if they were transferred to Korea now, it would most likely save them ten to twenty to thirty or forty years!
This means that they are likely to go further in their future careers!
After all, no matter how remote the place is, the magistrate or magistrate is still a serious magistrate and magistrate!
It is definitely better to achieve the position of governor and prefect at the age of 20 or 30 than to achieve the position of governor and prefect after 40 or 50 years old.
For example, if you reach the position of governor at the age of 20 or 30, according to the Ming Dynasty's current age limit of 65 for becoming an official, you still have 30 to 40 years to continue to move up.
In the next ten years, you will most likely reach the position of prefect.
In the next twenty years, if he is not promoted to the Chief Envoy in charge of a province, he will most likely be transferred to the Sixth Ministry of the Central Committee and become the First Minister of the Ministry of Water.
In the next thirty years, it will be possible to succeed the original Minister and become a new Minister!
By then, you will only be fifty to sixty years old, and you can continue to shine in the position of minister for five to fifteen years.
But if you reach the position of governor when you are forty or fifty years old, then the time left for you to continue moving up is only fifteen to twenty-five years.
In the next ten years, you may reach the position of prefect.
In the next twenty years, you may reach the position of Chief Envoy in charge of a province, or the position of Minister of the Six Ministries in the Central Department.
However, it is basically impossible to further become a minister.
Because after you have made great achievements in the position of Chief Envoy, or in the position of Sixth Minister, you will basically reach the age of sixty-five when you become an official.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the emperor to promote a minister of household affairs who is over sixty years old to a minister.
After all, as a minister, you can't just work for two or three years before becoming an official.
You must know that the appointment of a minister involves not only his personal affairs, but also ten series of disciples related to him, promoting policies and other related matters.
It is not too much to say that it shocked the government and the public.
Therefore, under such circumstances, generally for the sake of the stability of the court, if a minister does not make any big mistakes, most of them have to work for five to ten years.
If we follow this requirement backwards, then the age of an official when he becomes a minister should basically not be older than fifty-five.
Going further back, if you cannot be promoted to the Chief Envoy or the position of Minister of the First Division before the age of forty-five, then you will basically miss the position of the highest Sixth Secretariat.
Unless there is a special unexpected situation.
For example, in the previous major rebellion cases involving Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled a large number of court officials, including six ministers.
For another example, in the original history, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was defeated by Tian Jingnan, and a large number of Jianwen court officials, including the six ministers, were also expelled.
For another example, like the Zhuqi Town personal expedition in original history, a large number of officials including the six ministers were also recruited.
Only under these extremely special circumstances could the emperor ignore the original unspoken age requirements of the six ministerial officials.
Either they made an exception and promoted young officials in their thirties or forties to serve as ministers of the six ministries, or they made an exception and selected officials in their teens to serve as ministers of the ministry.
Otherwise, a normal, mature and stable court would not randomly promote and appoint officials who do not meet certain unspoken age requirements.
In addition to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs also re-planned the fiscal budget expenditure for the next five years.
After all, the original Second Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty did not involve the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Goryeo.
Now that it has been determined that the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Korea will be carried out, the Ministry of Revenue must prepare for the corresponding budgetary expenditures in terms of money and grain allocations for the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Korea.
And this involves if funds are allocated for the Eastern Conquest of Japan and the annexation of Korea, will it affect the funding for other projects?!!
If so, then which projects can have their appropriations reduced in part and which projects cannot have their appropriations reduced in part.
Which projects can be deferred for a period of time, and which projects cannot be deferred for a period of time.
Things like this need to be considered and determined by the Ministry of Accounts.
The Ministry of War also wanted to prepare to set up local defense posts of the Ming Dynasty in Japan and Goryeo.
Responsible for suppressing subsequent local mob rebellions and other matters.
The Ministry of Rites also wanted to find some more high-sounding excuses for the Ming Dynasty's eastern expedition to Japan and the annexation of Goryeo.
After all, Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it must occupy the highest point of morality, and cannot be an unknown master.
Even the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate, which seemed to have little to do with each other, had their own affairs to be busy with.
After all, if the territory of the Ming Dynasty further expands, it also means that the number of relevant Ministry of Punishment officials and Supervisory Office officials must also further increase, otherwise how to deal with the new
Penalty and surveillance matters in expanded territories.
So in general, after it was determined that the next step would be to conquer Japan and annex Goryeo, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a lot of things to do.
But despite this, no one will complain.
After all, whether it is the Eastern Conquest of Japan or the annexation of Goryeo, it is ultimately something that can benefit the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, noble marquises, and local officials were all enthusiastic and very positive about this.
