Just when Gonggong Wei sent people to Pyongyang to condemn Zheng Renhong for conspiring to undermine the deep affection between China and North Korea father and son and to destroy the friendship between China and North Korea, an assassination incident occurred in Pyongyang.

The two people who were assassinated, one named Ma Dong-seok and the other Cao Zhen-jiu, were both pro-Ming personalities, and they were also officials of Chung Seong-kun, the former governor of Gyeongseong, North Korea, and are currently the representative of the Hyeongan General Association in Pyongyang.

Because of the nature of their work, Ma and Cao often travel back and forth between Yongbyon, Uiju and Pyongyang, and they have to stay in Pyongyang often.

Before the assassination, Ma and Cao were mainly responsible for communicating with the Pyongan Province side on the content of the armistice agreement, actively coordinating the implementation of the relevant armistice agreement, and also responsible for receiving reparations from Pyongyang and publicizing the friendship between China and North Korea.

The specific time of the assassination was on the evening of the 17th, when Ma and Cao hosted a banquet for some officials of Pyongan Province at a restaurant in Pyongyang. After the banquet, Ma and Cao went downstairs separately, preparing to take a small sedan chair back to the office, at this time, the two murderers, one stabbed Ma Dongxi in the stomach with a knife, and the other pierced Cao Zhenjiu's neck with a dagger.

Ma and Cao were killed on the spot, and the murderer fled on the spot and was missing.

This incident shook Pyongyang and also shook Wei Gonggong, who was far away in Yiju.

After learning that his cronies had been killed, Park Jong-tae, chairman of the Hip An Committee, immediately believed that this was the work of the anti-Ming elements in Pyongyang, and that the armed incidents of the anti-Ming elements in the vicinity of Yongbyon and Gwangseong were both attacks on the Damyeong Dynasty and also on the Hip-An Association.

Grandpa Wei agrees with this tone.

However, Pyongyang claimed that the incident was deliberately committed by the Ming Dynasty and that it was looking for an excuse to further extort North Korea.

Wei Gonggong was furious when he heard this, talking nonsense, reversing black and white, our family is in a hurry to make a fortune, go to Mount Fuji to carry the big flag, and if you are full, you will blackmail you!

Immediately, his eyes rolled, and he said to Chairman Park, who was listening to the instructions: "Although the assassination of my envoys and two people this time is unexpected, it is reasonable to think about it... Combined with the incident of Huang Yongqing's anti-Ming elements, we think that it is clear that Pyongyang and even Seoul deliberately tore up the armistice treaty and deliberately did it, and this situation is serious and difficult to ignore. ”

When Chairman Park heard this, he was very excited and angry that Seoul had backtracked, and asked the Great Envoy to teach these bastards a lesson no matter what.

"On behalf of our family and the person surnamed Zheng, if the Pyongyang Provincial Government does not pretend to be ignorant, does not strictly stop such incidents, and does not investigate the truth of the case in detail, the situation will inevitably expand. At that time, this envoy will transfer 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Emperor to set foot in Pyongyang and Seoul to seek justice for our Ming Dynasty! ”

After Grandpa Wei finished speaking, his feet were taken out of the footbath. When Chairman Park saw this, regardless of his identity, he quickly took a towel to wipe his father-in-law's feet.

"As the president, how can Park Jun be like this." Grandpa Wei was moved and felt inappropriate.

"Being able to wipe the feet of the angels of the Ming Dynasty is a blessing that the villain has cultivated for several lifetimes!"

Chairman Park's words were sincere and full of affection.

..........

With the support of the angels, Park Jong-tae straightened his waist and sent people to make a strong protest to Chung In-hong in Pyongyang. At the same time, the 1st Brigade of the Korean Division stationed in Uiju was ordered to move towards Anju and carried out several raids on the Korean garrison in the border area.

Anju suddenly became nervous, and when the news was reported to Pyongyang, Zheng Renhong frowned deeply and had to report the development of the situation to Seoul.

On the 22nd, by the order of the Great Tomorrow's Envoy Wei Gong, Park Zhengtai formally demanded to Pyongyang that a series of incidents of hatred of Ming in Yongbyon and Pyongyang were all committed by the Anju government envoy Kwon Se-hoon, and that Chung In-hong should immediately arrest Kwon Se-hoon and conduct a detailed investigation of the civil and military forces in Anju. At the same time, Anju should be designated as a buffer zone between the two sides, and the DPRK troops should no longer be stationed in Anju. In addition, the murderers who assassinated Ma and Cao must be caught out of the law. Ceded Phi Dao to the permanent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"When necessary, it is necessary to use force to fundamentally solve the activities of anti-Ming elements, which have become more and more rampant recently."

On the 24th, Gonggong Wei inspected the 1st Brigade of Korea and made a speech that due to the successive events of hatred against Ming in Yongbyon and Pyongyang, it was necessary for the Ming Emperor's pro-army to enter Anju and even Pyongyang in order to ensure that relations between the two countries would not be disturbed.

"What has happened recently is very regrettable, Pyongyang and Seoul have no sincerity in resolving the incident, and your actions are a blatant violation of the dignity of the Ming Dynasty and a provocative act against the Ming Dynasty. If a similar incident occurs, the envoy of the Great Emperor and the soldiers of the Ming Emperor's army will take the necessary military action in accordance with the powers granted by the treaty. ”

On the 26th, after receiving no concrete reply from Pyongyang, Wei Gonggong said this to Anju officials.

When all the officials in Anzhou heard this, they all changed color, and one of them said boldly: "Envoy, doesn't the agreement say that if the two sides encounter any problems, they must not unilaterally use force to solve them. ”

"Yes, this one-sided is you." Gonggong Wei said.

Chung In-hong did not dare to answer the question of the withdrawal of troops from Anju and the cession of Phi Dao, and the instructions of His Highness Seoul had not yet arrived, so he was very anxious.

Four days later, the Ming Emperor's special operation detachment and thousands of Korean officers and soldiers carried out armed exercises outside Anzhou, and used gunpowder to blow up the north gate of Anzhou on the spot.

Zheng Renhong knew that this was pressure, and he was especially shocked by the Ming army's ability to attack fortifications, although Anzhou is a small city, but it is also the capital of a city, but the Ming army easily blew up the city wall, so that the city of Pyongyang is not strong in the eyes of the Ming army.

At this time, the envoy of Seoul arrived, and Gwanghaejun urgently ordered Jung In-hong to immediately withdraw the Anju garrison so as not to escalate the situation, and demanded that negotiations be held with the Ming side immediately, and that the matter of ceding Phi Dao could be decided by Jeong In-hong himself.

Zheng Renhong knew that Guanghaijun was putting himself on the fire, and once the matter was leaked, he would be scolded by the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, he did not want to be involved in this traitorous matter, so he still asked Li Yun and Liu Xifen, who signed an armistice treaty with the Ming Dynasty last time, to negotiate on his behalf.

Liu Xifen was reluctant to go under the pretext of illness, and Li Rong had no choice but to go to Anzhou. However, Ming Fang's attitude was clear, and he only talked to Yin Zheng Renhong of Ping An Dao, and the rest of the people ignored it.

On the 5th, under pressure from many parties, Jung In-hong finally came to Anju to talk with Park Jung-tae, the representative of the Ming side. Park asked if the other party's conditions were met.

Chung In-hong replied that he had dismissed Kwon Se-hoon, the envoy of the Anju government, and that he would immediately disband the Anju garrison, but that it would be difficult to cede Phi Dao.

On the 6th, the two sides held a second meeting, and the representative of the Ming side in this meeting became Jiang Fangyin, supplemented by Park Zhengtai.

Chiang Fangyin's envoy Wei Gong issued an ultimatum to Zheng Renhong on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, saying that if supplementary terms could not be signed within three days, the Ming Emperor's personal army would definitely occupy Anju and march to Pyongyang.

After the strong and military pressure of the Ming representatives, Zheng Renhong said that he would fully cooperate, and then announced in his capacity as Ping'an Daoyin, "All Chinese citizens shall not exclude or provoke evil feelings for the Great Ming Dynasty, and they shall not organize any righteous army for this purpose, so as to interfere with national relations...... If there is any violation, severe punishment will be imposed. ”

On the 8th, Gonggong Wei asked Zheng Renhong to sign a new supplementary clause, called a "memorandum", Zheng Renhong had obtained a secret order from Guanghai Jun, and all other aspects could be written, except for the cession of Phi Dao, which could not leave any written terms.

"If we refuse to sign and a serious situation occurs, we will not be liable." Jiang Fangyin was aggressive.

Chung In-hong sighed and said that the Phi Dao incident is not supplemented by words, and Pyongyang can compensate in other forms.

After receiving the report, Gonggong Wei thought about it again and again, agreed, and instructed: "This matter has always been negotiated orally, and our family has repeatedly stated that it will be handled by the North Korean side itself." Regardless of money and land, the DPRK is voluntary. ”

In the end, the matter of Phi Dao was not put into writing, but Ping'an Dao compensated Daming with an additional 100,000 stone of grain and promised to suppress any anti-Ming elements, and the matter was satisfactorily resolved.

Beijing.

The weather was relatively hot, and the emperor was a little unbearable because he was too fat, so he simply asked the waiter to put the ice bucket directly at the foot of the table.

On the desk, there is a secret revelation just sent by the clerical office, from Yizhou, Liaodong.

Needless to say, the inner court channel is from Liaodong, and it must be the secret of Xiao Wei's father-in-law.

The emperor has already read this secret disclosure before, this will be reopened, after looking at it carefully, thinking for a long time, mentioning the Zhu pen on the two words on the secret disclosure added a horizontal, so that two to three.

After that, he smiled with satisfaction, 300,000 taels is like a word, you rabbit cub don't do serious things, go to Liaodong to poke me in such a big basket, how can you do it with only 200,000 taels?

After closing this secret disclosure, the emperor thought about it, and ordered the attendant to turn out the recital of Zhang Tao, the governor of Liaodong, from another pile of texts, and after opening it, he lifted the three words of the Zhu pen and directly approved the imperial approval - "Got it." ”

"Take it to the celebrant and call it out for printing."

The emperor got up from his chair and listened to the sound of magpies outside, and was very happy.
