Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 521 Chen Ce Requests for a Meeting
Tuo Luo did not care about the policies issued by the Ming Dynasty. This move was nothing more than an attempt to win over the hearts of the wild Jurchens. These wild Jurchens in Liaodong did not pose much threat to the Jianzhou Jurchens.

The only tribe that could threaten the Jianzhou Jurchens now was the Bohai Jurchens.

That's why Toro was so indifferent to this policy issued by the Ming Dynasty.

But Dong Yanyan was different. He could see at a glance the cruelty of implementing this policy in Liaodong!
Tuo Luo asked Dong Yanyan in confusion: "Yanyan, what do you mean? Is there anything cruel about the Ming Dynasty court?"

Dong Yanyan said: "They have set so many strategies. The wild Jurchens will definitely flock to settle in the Central Plains. Once they taste the sweetness of the inland of Ming Dynasty, they will lead the people of Jianzhou and Bohai tribes in the future. It will be too late for us to think of countermeasures by then!"

Tuo Luo looked at Dong Yanyan in astonishment and said, "It's not that serious, is it? How can there be so many attractive places in the Ming Dynasty? Aren't we doing well outside the Great Wall?"

Dong Yanyan: “…”

If it was really that good, why did my grandfather want to rebel and enter Shanhaiguan? If the outside of the pass was really that good, why did we have to go to the horse market every month to trade with the Ming Dynasty?

Now that the economy of the Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly, she can guarantee that as long as some people from the wild Jurchen tribes migrate to the inland of the Ming Dynasty and settle down in the inland of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely not want to return to the outside of the Great Wall!

"The southwest of the Ming Dynasty! In the past, the chieftains of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty were very hostile to the Han people of the Ming Dynasty. What about now?"

"Has anyone in the southwest ever resisted? They are as docile as sheep!"

"These great people are best at ruling and enslaving the people. Once we Jurchens go there, they will be tamed very quickly. After being tamed, they will come to our tribe to spread the good news of the Ming Dynasty."

"By that time, once the people of our tribe are in disarray, how can we rule them?"

After Dong Yanyan finished speaking, Dong Yuanbao also echoed: "Father, the Ming Dynasty court has evil intentions! We have to be on guard!"

Tuo Luo pondered for a while and asked, "Then according to you, how should we deal with it now?"

Dong Yanyan had already thought of a countermeasure. She said, "War, start a war. If the Ming Dynasty really wants to retaliate against us, then no one will believe in the policy issued by the Ming Dynasty, and no one will dare to settle in the Ming Dynasty."

Tuoluo said: "What if they don't fight back against us?"

Dong Yanyan said: "Then we will request to increase the opening hours of the horse market from one month to three months a year, or even more, so that we can have more connections with the interior of the country and help us develop rapidly."

"In this way, even if the wild Jurchens leave, our tribe can develop rapidly. When we are strong and powerful, we can wait for the opportunity to continue to wage war and gain more benefits."

……

Shuntian Mansion.

After the imperial court issued this policy on the ethnic integration of the Jurchens in Liaodong, Chen Ce had been thinking about the possible responses of the Jurchens.

He was not worried about Tuo Luo, but Chen Ce knew that Tuo Luo's children were not simple.

When Dong Yanyan and Dong Yuanbao visited the capital four years ago, Chen Ce had contact with them and was particularly impressed by Dong Yanyan. This woman was no ordinary person.

Chen Ce guessed that the Jurchens in Jianzhou would not sit idly by, nor would they fail to see the potential harm of this Ming policy. They would definitely find ways to retain the wild Jurchens and would not allow them to migrate to the inland of the Ming Dynasty to settle down.

What will they do?
Chen Ce sat in the study with his eyes closed, thinking deeply. He thought of three countermeasures for the other party, and wrote all three countermeasures in a letter to Liaodong, and gave them to Fu Yuan, asking Fu Yuan to carefully monitor the actions of the Jianzhou Jurchens so that he could respond at any time.

Liaodong.

When Fu Yuan finished reading the letter sent by Chen Ce, he could not help but gasp. [First, launch a propaganda war to intimidate the wild Jurchens and stop them from migrating]

[Second, block the road to Shanhaiguan to prevent the wild Jurchens from escaping]

[Third, wage war against the Ming Dynasty]

These are the three most likely countermeasures against the Jianzhou Jurchens that Chen Ce sent to Fu Yuan.

Although the first and second ones are possible, according to Chen Ce's calculations, the likelihood is not high, because there is no way to prevent all the wild Jurchens from migrating to the inland of Ming Dynasty.

The third point was what Chen Ce emphasized to Fu Yuan. The Jianzhou Jurchens were very likely to launch a war against the Ming Dynasty. As long as they launched a war against the Ming Dynasty, it would put the Ming Dynasty in a dilemma.

If the Ming Dynasty counterattacks, the entire Jurchen tribe will fear the Ming Dynasty. After all, they are foreigners and not Han people. If the Ming Dynasty counterattacks them, they will inevitably worry about whether they will be treated fairly and equally in the inland of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

But if the Ming Dynasty did not fight back, it would only allow the Jianzhou Jurchens to become more aggressive and gain more benefits through war.

Fu Yuan stared blankly at the letter sent by Chen Ce, muttering: "This guy, the Jurchens haven't even made a move yet, but he has already plotted against them!"

"Somebody come!"

Fu Yuan said this to the outside world, and then asked the spies in the inner factory to focus on monitoring the every move of the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Bohai Jurchens.

Just three days later, the Jianzhou Jurchens really began to have friction with the Han people on the border. This was undoubtedly a signal on the eve of war and a pretext for the war.

"Chen Chunjian, ah Chen Chunjian!"

"You are going to die. What will happen to the future of Ming Dynasty?"

Fu Yuan sighed sincerely, and then said to the inner factory: "Go, let the Korean bandits enter Liaodong and let them massacre the Bohai Jurchen tribe and the wild Jurchens."

This was Chen Ce's response to Fu Yuan's instructions.

That guy’s methods were all one after another, and they were so cruel that he didn’t take the lives of these Jurchens seriously at all.

Sure enough, after standing in a high position, everyone is a chess piece in their eyes. Kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command wealth. Chen Ce belongs to this type. When it comes to national affairs, he has never been soft-handed.

In the past, the Han people in the southeast were willing to be sacrificed at his hands just to achieve the goal of destroying Japan. What does the death of a few Jurchens matter now?
At the end of April, unrest broke out in Liaodong. Groups of Koreans entered Liaodong and continued to massacre the Jurchens on the land of Liaodong.

This matter was soon reported to the Ming court.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard about this, he was indignant and immediately summoned the six ministries of the cabinet to discuss the matter. The Ministry of Rites suggested that a severe letter be sent to the Joseon Lee Dynasty immediately to accuse them!

Generally speaking, when something like this happens, the first thing to do is to resolve it through diplomatic means.

Just as Emperor Hongzhi and the six ministries of the cabinet were having a heated discussion, Huai En walked in, carefully interrupted Emperor Hongzhi, and said, "Your Majesty, Tai'an Marquis Chen Ce wants to see you."

Emperor Hongzhi hummed and said, "Summon him into the palace!"
