Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 18 The Submission of the Korean Envoys

Looking at the bewildered Korean general in front of him, Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and dispelled the idea of taking him to blackmail the defenders to open the city.

Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and said: "This town doesn't want to face off with the Korean national sword soldiers, so you can go back to the city." As long as the defenders of Jiangdu do not leave the city, the town will never take the initiative to attack Jiangdu. ”

Lin Qingye's blank eyes slowly converged, and he asked cautiously, "Does the Great Tomorrow really want to reset Guanghaijun?" ”

Mao Wenlong looked at him and was silent for a long time before he said: "It is still unknown, but the Son of Heaven deplored what happened to Gwanghae-kun very much, and he was also quite disgusted with the domestic struggle in Korea, which is unmistakable. ”

Lin Qingye lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked again: "Then the marshal led his troops to come, is it to let Guanghaijun return to the throne in Jiangdu?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and denied: "That's not it, it's just that the Korean Sect Temple is in Gangdu Goryeo Palace, and Gwanghaejun hopes to worship his ancestors." ”

Lin Qingye looked at Mao Wenlong and hesitated for a long time before he said: "If the marshal can promise the last general two things, the last general can let the heavenly army enter Jiangdu." ”

Mao Wenlong was a little surprised, but he quickly said cheerfully: "You say." ”

Lin Qingye gritted his teeth and said, "The first thing is that after the Heavenly Army enters Jiangdu, it is not allowed to loot the people and damage the palace. ”

"This is no problem, but the Jiangdu Treasury must be handed over to us." Mao Wenlong replied quickly.

Lin Qingye nodded and said, "Yes, as for the second thing, after Guanghaijun enters Jiangdu, the last general wants to personally bring people to protect Guanghaijun." ”

Mao Wenlong was a little dumbfounded, he shook his head and said, "This is not good, but I can let you meet Guanghaijun, and if Guanghaijun agrees, I will allow you to stay with him." ”

Lin Qingye did not argue with Mao Wenlong, and nodded and agreed to his conditions. and asked the Ming army to send someone into the city with him.

Mao Wenlong was suspicious and asked Mao Youshun to follow Lin Qingye into the city with a team of 100 people, and he took a group of subordinates to watch in front of the battle.

The young general Mao Youde said to Mao Wenlong with some concern: "This North Korean general was righteous when he first came, but then he took the initiative to give up the city, he spoke inconsistently, he didn't want to trick our people into the city as hostages, right?" ”

Mao Wenlong held a telescope and watched his subordinates enter the gate of Jiangdu, and said casually: "I see that this person looks dignified, and there is no dodging and panicked look in his eyes, it shouldn't be that he came to deceive me." Besides, as long as Mao Youshun and them can enter the city, those North Korean soldiers can still close the city gates. ”

As Mao Wenlong spoke, he saw Mao Youshun appear on the city wall, waving the flag of safety to himself.

After putting down the binoculars, he said, "The matter is done, send a team of people to the ferry to tell Lord Fuyuan that Jiangdu City has been taken." Please ask him to send Guanghai Jun to the Jiangdu, and Jianghua Mansion will be ours..."

After the Ming army entered Jiangdu, Mao Wenlong occupied the Jiangdu Liuhou Mansion, and Shen Yue had to move to this mansion.

Later, Wang Huazhen accompanied Gwanghaejun and his family to live in the Goryeo Palace at the top of Jiangdu City. Under the coercion of the Ming army, Shen Yue, the queen of Jianghua Mansion, took the officials in the Lang Hall to meet Guanghaijun and admitted Guanghaijun's moderation of Jianghua Mansion.

And Lin Qingye, under the supervision of Mao Chenglu, visited Guanghaijun. After the two talked, Lin Qingye still failed to convince Guanghaijun to give up the idea of resetting.

However, Mao Wenlong still appointed him to command the Jiangdu garrison and be responsible for the security work in the city, while the Goryeo Palace was guarded by Mao Chenglu with the Ming army.

Later, Wang Huazhen received the news that North Korea was welcoming the arrival of his officials, and hurriedly led people back to Zhenhai Tower.

In the temporary official residence opposite the Liuhou Mansion, Shen Yue, the posthumous Liuhou of Jianghua Mansion, told Jin Shangxian and Cui Mingji, who had just arrived, what had happened in Jiangdu in the past two days.

"How can this be reasonable, Lin Qingye is simply a traitor, he actually went to visit the deposed king Guanghaijun in private, what does he want to do? What did Ming Guo want to do by letting Gwanghae-jun live in Goryeo Palace? Are they still keeping the rites of the clan? Cui Mingji suddenly became a little angry, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Kim Sang-hun, who has always paid attention to righteousness, is also silent at the moment, and no one knows what he is thinking.

When Choi Myung-gil was about to test Kim Sang-heon's attitude, the door was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold air rushed in, making the three people in the room shiver.

Cui Mingji, who was in a bad mood, reprimanded without replying: "Go out, no one is allowed to come in without our call." ”

"I'm sorry for my big temper." Li Yuanyi turned to the two entourages and said, "You all go out, you don't have to wait on the side, guard the hospital door, and no one is allowed to disturb us for the time being." ”

Listening to the wrong voice, the three of them turned their eyes to the door, and after seeing the person clearly, Cui Mingji suddenly blushed and apologized: "It turned out that the leader arrived, I lost my words for a moment just now, and I ask the leader to bear with me." ”

Li Yuanyi walked to the top seat and sat down. He said with a blank expression: "These are all small sections, don't mention them, I'll tell you now, what the angel said to me before, and then let's get an idea together..."

The fact that Shen Yue observed, and the compromise request made by the angel relayed by Li Yuanyi, made all four people in the room understand that North Korea is now on the verge of civil war.

Among the four, Shen Yue is just a literati with good literary talents, and he is completely helpless against this situation.

And under the persecution of the Ming army, he has already visited Guanghaijun. If there is really a war, he can only choose to side with Gwanghae-kun, because the current king of Joseon, Yi Liang, is not a big-hearted person.

However, in front of the three important ministers of North Korea, he could not express any opinions, so he could only wait for the three people to make a decision before seconding the proposal.

Although Choi Myung-gil may seem excited, as a realist, he is actually in favor of compromise. Even, if he hadn't participated in the conspiracy to overthrow Gwanghae-kun, it would not be an impossible option to devote himself to Gwanghae-kun's side now.

He is well aware that after Kim invaded North Korea last year, he not only plundered a large amount of supplies, but also robbed a large number of people in northern Korea.

The current North Korea has not recovered, and Donggang Town, which was able to thwart the Houjin invasion of North Korea, is obviously not something that North Korea can deal with.

What's more, there is no justification for waging a war with the Celestial Army in the eyes of the Koreans, and the people of North Korea will never approve of it, and it is not known that the army of King Qin, which was called by the Hanyang Imperial Court, will fall directly to the side of Gwanghaejun.

Li Yuanyi's eyes were firmly fixed on Kim Sang-hun, a minister who was famous in the clear stream of North Korea and had great influence on Shilin's remarks.

If he chooses not to accept the conditions of the angel of the kingdom, then even if Li Yuanyi can convince Li Ju to accept the angel's harsh conditions, the minister can manipulate public opinion to carry out a political attack on the Nanren Party.

Li Yuanyi didn't want to ruin his reputation in order to keep Li Kun's throne. If so, he would not have cooperated with the angels to return Gwanghae-kun to the throne.

"Shudu, what do you think of the angel's request?" Li Yuanyi was silent for a while, then asked.

Jin Shangxian is quite embarrassed, although he is a Westerner, but he has not contributed to Li Liang's ascension, he is a Qingxi faction.

However, he was full of disgust at Gwanghae-kun's brutality and the reform policies he pursued.

But for Daming, he has a different emotion, after all, when the news of Jin's invasion reached Beijing last year, he happened to be an envoy to Beijing as an envoy of North Korea.

When he learned of the Houjin invasion, he immediately cried when he met the Ming Emperor in Jin, asking the apocalypse to rescue Korea.

Although North Korea had already surrendered when the apocalypse ordered Donggang Town to attack, Donggang Town finally crippled the gold and blue flag that invaded Korea, which can be regarded as avenging North Korea.

With the rescue grace of the two Ming emperors of Wanli and Tianqi, North Korea is obviously unable to have the name of righteousness if it goes to war with the Ming Dynasty because of the matter of Guanghaejun, after all, this is the two uncles and nephews competing for the throne of Korea, and it has nothing to do with the ordinary Korean people.

Jin Shangxian thought about it for a long time before he said with difficulty: "The Son of Heaven has a fate, and the lower state can defend the king, but he can't fight against the king with swords." Except for the increase in rice grain, the rest can be discussed. ”

Li Yuanyi then turned his head and asked Cui Mingji, for the judgment of this question, Cui Mingji judged much faster than Jin Shangxian, he thought that the leased land could be increased, but not the annual rice grain to support the Dongjiang River.

Because of the invasion of Kim last year, which led to the abandonment of a large area of land in northern Korea, it is foreseeable that North Korea's grain production will decline, and increasing support for Donggang Town at this time will make the imperial court lack savings for disaster relief in the famine year.

The four of them discussed in the room for nearly an hour, and then went to Goryeo Palace to meet the angel of Gwanghae-kun and the kingdom as agreed.

When the three ministers went, it was Gwanghae-kun who paid homage to the ancestors of the Joseon royal family, and since his exile, he had been deprived of this power.

Now, in the presence of the angels of the Kingdom and the ministers of Joseon, Gwanghae-kun worships his ancestors, which means that he has once again become a member of the Joseon royal family and is no longer a sinner.

After seeing that Gwanghae-jun had achieved legal status, Li Yuanyi and the other three ministers, at the invitation of Wang Huazhen, held secret discussions in a room in the Goryeo Palace, and finally the two sides reached a secret agreement on Ganghwa Island.

Wang Huazhen's requirements were basically met. However, the increase in the annual support of rice grain to 200,000 stone was reduced to 150,000 stone, and Tieshan County and the two surrounding counties were lent to Dongjiang Town, and it was agreed that it would be returned after Pingliao.

And at the insistence of Li Yuanyi, the cession of Jeju Island could not be used as a punishment for North Korea by the Ming Dynasty. The Joseon King will give Jeju Island to Gwanghae-kun for retirement, and the Sangguk will be Kwan-in's replacement of Gwanghae-kun to manage Jeju Island.

The deferential attitude of several Korean ministers made Wang Huazhen deeply satisfied. Therefore, Wang Huazhen chose to accept the behavior of these North Korean officials who wanted to save face.

Li Yuanyi and the other three rested in Jiangdu for one night, and hurried back to the ferry the next day and got on the boat to return to Hanyang.
