As for the final result of the negotiations, except for land, Ming Dynasty made some concessions and decided to go from the north of Haizhou Bay to Pingshan on the west bank of the Licheng River, and then to Chengbeili, Xipu, Sanfangxia and Cishanli. , all owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the southern part was the territory of Korea, and the Jeju Island and Tsushima Island were naturally taken into the hands of the Ming Dynasty without ceremony.
After more than a year of war, the northern part of North Korea can be said to be depopulated, and Zhu Qizhen naturally continued his military reforms and sent batches of veterans and their families who were willing to obey the arrangements to these areas. In order to enrich the proportion of Han people in these areas.
These original military households in the guard station have degenerated from soldiers into farmers who can only face the loess and back to the sky. They cannot go to the battlefield. However, their fields belong to the country, and they are often used by thousands of households in the guard station. The exploitation of hundreds of households has made it difficult for many military households to make a living.
But now, Zhu Qi Town has given them a new opportunity. Not only can they get rid of their military household registration, but they can also get their own land. Although they have left their hometown, the family can live a stable life, which was something they could not imagine in the past. Dare to think. Naturally, he happily left with his family.
It is precisely for this reason that in just five years, the Ming Dynasty moved nearly 130,000 households and nearly one million people to these areas.
However, with the supervision of Zhu Qizhen, the fierce emperor, and the eager eyes of the Jin Yiwei led by Sun Jizong, the migration work never encountered any major changes or setbacks.
In the past few years, under Zhu Qizhen's instructions, Nanjing's Bao Shipyard and the newly built Liaodong Shipyard have been building a variety of new ships. In addition to military ships, they have also built many civilian ships, Ming's private maritime trade was very developed, and these newly built large ships were sought after by maritime merchants with huge wealth.
After all, in the past, after a period of forbidden seas, it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to build large-scale ships. In the past, it was still possible to buy some obsolete old ships from the Ming Dynasty's navy. However, the less time there is, the more obsolete ships will be eliminated. The less.
And those old ships mostly have problems and defects of one kind or another, but now, new ships have begun to be built again, and this time, the Ming Dynasty's national shipyard is also accepting business from outside.
Because of the strength and ability of the craftsmen who built giant ships like Zheng He's treasure ship in the past, the ships they built were highly praised and supported by maritime merchants.
If it weren¡¯t for Zhu Qizhen¡¯s order, those maritime merchants would even be willing to invest in these shipyards, just hoping to obtain ocean-going giant ships with the highest priority and the fastest speed.
¡ª¡ª
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to disrupt his plan from the very beginning. At least now, the strength of Ming's maritime fleet still did not meet his needs and goals. What he needed was a large-scale fleet that could be used at any time. Deterring the fleets of many island countries around Ming Dynasty.
It can attack the enemy thousands of miles away, send thousands of troops to the place where it needs to be, and wipe out all enemies who violate the will of the Ming Empire. In a word, Zhu Qizhen needs a fleet with strategic significance, a terrifying force that can conquer the world.
Pirates, what are pirates? Piracy is a very old criminal industry. Pirates have existed since ships sailed. However, first of all, it depends on the attitude of your country, whether it is a strong suppression and sweep, or if you don't offend me, I am too lazy to pay attention to you, and as a result, I condone its development and growth.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen would not be stupid, and he was trying to fight against maritime crimes, and since the early years of Zhengtong, no fleet of the Ming Dynasty had ever sailed to the South and West. of the rebuilt fleet.
The Ming Navy's first operation was to occupy Jeju Island and Tsushima Island. Jeju Island not only has beautiful scenery, but it is also an excellent place to raise horses, while Tsushima Island was occupied by pirates in the past. This place is also a dangerous place like Jeju Island.
Although many ministers do not know how important these two islands are to the control of sea power, at least everyone will applaud the victory of the Ming fleet.
In the five years from the second year of Shuntian to the sixth year of Shuntian, the Ming Dynasty built massive ships and used waterways to carry out immigration work. The ports in Tianjin and the Jiaodong Peninsula have almost become the busiest seaports in recent years. , because of the cost and speed of sea transportation, it is far more convenient than migrating by land.
It only takes a few days to reach Dalian Port from Tianjin Port, and if you migrate by land, it will take at least three to five months. Since it can shorten the time, it can also greatly reduce??The cost of migration. Naturally, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty changed from disapproval of Zhu Qizhen's insistence on building ships from the beginning to becoming wise, powerful and far-sighted.
The busyness of shipping and the large number of immigrants also gave Jiangnan maritime merchants a lot of trading opportunities. A large number of ships loaded with Jiangnan's unique goods and some daily necessities headed for the Liaodong area to meet with the immigrants who had just settled there. Transactions are going on.
After all, although the state provides the most basic security, there are still many things that they still need to purchase by themselves, which naturally gives Ming merchants an excellent opportunity.
Of course, any maritime merchant who dares to extort these immigrants at exorbitant prices will not only have their goods confiscated, but will even lose the qualification to enter the Liaodong region for commercial activities within a short period of time.
Under this situation, some businessmen who originally went to Liaodong with the idea of ??huge profits could only admit it in despair. However, even so, they still made a lot of money.
And all this was just the beginning. After more than ten or twenty years, those maritime merchants who were already extremely wealthy stopped and looked back, only to realize that they had gone too far. It was so far away that I could not have imagined that the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty would extend so far, and that such a vast ocean would eventually be conquered by the people and army of the Ming Dynasty.
And just after the monarchs and ministers of North Korea succumbed to the military might of the Ming Dynasty and agreed to the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty, soon this agreement, which later generations called the "Treaty of Kaijing", was announced to the world by both the Ming Dynasty and North Korea at the same time. And North Korea very honestly implemented the conditions of this Beijing-opening treaty.
Less than a month after the signing of the treaty, Yuan Bin, who had completed his mission to North Korea, received a new order from Zhu Qizhen. Soon, he left the Imjin River along the waterway and boarded Na Cao at Ganghwa Island. The battleship dispatched by Ji Xiang headed straight towards Tsushima Island
And this departure has also changed the history of an island country and moved towards another truth

PS: The update has arrived. The next step is to deal with another country. Hehe, it is an island country that should sink at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I hope it sinks soon.
