Chapter 53: Long live

After reaching an agreement with Pu Zhengtai, the commander of Zhongcheng County of the DPRK, the envoy of the Great Tomorrow, the temporary eunuch of Dongchang, the admiral of the Royal Navy and Army, the maritime eunuch of the Admiral of the Chincha, the eunuch of the industrial and mining of the north and south of the Great River, the eunuch of the Maritime Special Zone of the Admiral of the Chincha, the eunuch of the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean and Europa, the minister of Shanggong, the confidant of the Son of Heaven, and the prince of the imperial court, the prince of Wei, wrote to Park Zhengtai to show encouragement, hoping that the other party can contribute to the friendship between China and North Korea, so that the two countries can be good-neighborly and friendly for generations!

This is the third piece of Wei Gonggong's handwritten book that so-and-so is a good person, so it can be seen that "good person" is the highest praise given to someone by Wei Gonggong, and it is not possible to get it if it is not a great merit or a big relationship.

"The talks were fruitful and constructive. We believe that with the efforts of Zhong Junshou, the relations between our Daming and the DPRK will certainly be able to better benefit the two countries and the two peoples. We also believe that under the active protection of our Ming Dynasty and our positive advice, our emperor and the imperial court will definitely continue to attach importance to the vassal relationship with Korea, and the Japanese will never dare to invade Korea again in the future, and in ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, North Korea will no longer be as dangerous as the Imjin War! ”

Father-in-law Wei was emotional and full of confidence.

On behalf of the officials and people of Jongseong, Park Jong-tae said that at present, the DPRK and the Celestial Empire are as close and friendly as a family, and it is precisely with the help and protection of the Ming Dynasty that the DPRK people can live and work in peace and contentment. It is precisely because of the presence of ministers who attach importance to the relations between the DPRK and China like the angel Wei Gonggong that the Korean people can always feel the love of the Ming Dynasty.

"The personal feelings given by the angel to the lower officials are extremely cordial and touching. This visit to Zhongcheng by the personal envoy on behalf of heaven is a favorable opportunity to further implement the relations between the two countries. The lower officials, together with the officials and people of the whole county, will do their best to make the angels fully feel the enthusiasm of the people of Zhongcheng during this inspection, and play their due role in curbing the Jianzhou Jurchens. ”

Park Junshou's voice was also very passionate, his words were very sincere, and he also threw a sincere smile at the two brocade guards standing behind him.

Gonggong Wei waved his hand to signal the sergeants who had just released the guns to step back, and asked Qi Ying and other Jinyi guards to put the embroidered spring knife back into the scabbard.

Subsequently, he did not shy away from pointing out that the current Ming Dynasty has declined due to the loss of the Renchen War, and there are many problems in the country, and His Majesty the Emperor is even more frugal to the point that even the clothes have to be patched, and there are also various problems among the people. However, the Ming court and the people were not discouraged by this, questioned the aid to the DPRK and resisted the Japanese, and felt that the losses brought by the war to the Ming Dynasty were not worth it, but closely rallied around the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and worked hard to achieve the rise of the Ming Dynasty's national strength again.

The father-in-law himself came to inspect the court this time, not simply to discuss with the North Korean side about compensation for the rebellion, but to learn from each other with the North Korean side, so that the two sides can learn from each other's strengths, increase trade exchanges, and promote the flow of funds, so that the two countries can jointly restore their national strength and let the people live a better life.

"We won't talk about the rest, it's still the same old saying, we're in... With our Ming here, don't worry about anything. As long as the country can bear a part of the military expenses of our heavenly soldiers, our heavenly soldiers will shed blood and sacrifice for the people of our country at any time! ”

Gonggong Wei cordially pulled over Pu Junshou and pressed his thumb to leave a handprint on the Nanyang Agreement that had just been drafted. Next to this agreement is the "national letter" drafted by Wei Gonggong himself.

After pressing the handprint, the happy Duke Wei took Pu Junshou's left arm and raised it upward, shouting: "Long live the friendship between China and North Korea, long live the Ming Emperor!" ”

"Long live the friendship between China and North Korea, long live the Ming Emperor!" While Park Junshou was excited, his arm was also very sore.

The heavenly soldiers and generals and the Korean officials also shouted at the same time, and their voices shook the clouds.

In order to quickly implement the content of the Nanyang Agreement, after the luncheon, Gonggong Wei ordered the heavenly soldiers to go out in all directions, and the officials of Zhongcheng County led the team to the county guards to collect it.

The father-in-law repeatedly emphasized that all ministries must strictly enforce military discipline and not disturb the people.

Subsequently, at the warm invitation of Park Zhengtai, the guard of Zhongcheng County, the guard of honor of Gonggong Wei went straight to Zhongcheng County under the support of Jinyi wrestlers and elite soldiers.

Two days later, the Great Tomorrow Envoy sent a letter to the counties of the Hamgyong Prefecture to the prefectures.

After the five counties of Huining, Funing, Wencheng, Qingyuan, and Qingxing received the edict from the Great Tomorrow Envoy, Huining and Qingyuan Eryuan were the first to come into contact with the Great Tomorrow soldiers, and the two sides had friendly talks and signed terms similar to the Nanyang Agreement, giving the Great Tomorrow soldiers a total of more than 50,000 taels of silver.

After receiving the compensation, the squadron immediately returned to the second county, and along the way it was properly cared for by the officials and people of the second county, and was also warmly welcomed by the Korean people.

However, the three counties of Funing, Wencheng, and Qingyuan refused to contact the soldiers of Daming on the grounds that they had not received documents from the parliamentary government and the Metropolitan Protectorate, and on the 17th, Ding Xiaogong's brigade launched a punitive attack on Qingyuan County, which refused to open the city, resulting in the death of 16 defenders of the county.

After this punitive attack, Lin Changxu, the warden of Qingyuan County, immediately went out of the city to plead guilty, and was willing to exchange 40,000 taels of silver for the forgiveness of the Great Tomorrow soldiers.

At the same time, the Dongcun detachment also engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers of Funing County. The battle took place at the Ogawa River, a few miles east of the county seat, and the number of troops on both sides was about 3,000.

The Ming army counted more than 500 officers and soldiers of the emperor, more than 100 imperial guards, about 3,000 Korean troops, more than 100 good hands in the class, and 80 horsemen.

In this battle, the Ming army lost five people, the imperial guard lost 17 people, the Korean army lost more than 300 people, and nearly 1,000 prisoners.

On the same day, the Great Ming soldiers entered the undefended Funing County, organized hundreds of prisoners into the imperial guard, and searched for "Qiu Ming" elements in the city, giving the dictatorship from the Celestial Empire an iron fist. In the end, hundreds of Qiu Ming elements were searched and arrested, and all of them were imprisoned.

Later, after the gentry of Funing County came forward to negotiate, they finally exchanged more than 70,000 taels of county treasury and private funds for the forgiveness of the Ming soldiers, and released these enemies. Subsequently, the Dongcun detachment drove to Wencheng County, which was not far away.

After learning the specific course of the battle of the Lost River and the fact that Funing County had been broken by the heavenly soldiers, and that the county guard Li fled to Jingcheng, he discussed with his staff and adjutant again and again, and finally decided to take the initiative to open the door to welcome the soldiers of Tomorrow into the city, and gave more than 30,000 taels of compensation to the officers and soldiers from the Celestial Empire.

A series of good news came, which made Gonggong Wei, who was accompanied by the county guard Park Zhengtai in Zhongcheng, very excited, and immediately composed a poem: The soldiers of the imperial army are really powerful, if you don't come to welcome us, let them bombard his mother.

After listening to Pu Junshou on the side, he suddenly showed admiration, waited for the next sentence, waited for the next sentence, and waited for the next sentence but did not have the next sentence, and couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that the three-word poems that are popular in the Celestial Empire are not successful?
