Chapter 151 - Conditions for Peace

Although Kaesong is not as prosperous as the towns of the Central Plains, it is one of the few ancient cities on the Goryeo Peninsula, and it has been operated by Goryeo people for decades, and now it is thriving, plus the villages and towns scattered in the suburbs of the city, there are 20,000 or 30,000 households, and a population of more than 100,000.

This is the case in a barren and narrow place like the Goryeo Peninsula, where the land near Kaegyung is fertile and the capital is an important part of Beijing, so the inhabitants living in this area are extremely dense, and in fact, the population of all Goryeo in the south of the Yangtze River in Taedong today is only more than one million.

As the brightly armored Qi soldiers entered Kaesong, the fear of being besieged gradually disappeared, and the streets of Kaesong gradually became bustling with people, and they regained their former vitality.

The battle in Kaesong was originally in a stalemate, and the Park coalition army was laying down the siege of the city, so it could only take the siege of the city.

Wang Zhao's military horses could not repel the allied attack.

After hearing that the naval division of the Qi army had landed and the division of King Qin from the south was blocked, in the palace of the king of Kaijing, after fierce quarrels, in the end, Wang Zhao agreed to the proposal of the Qi people, all the armies of both sides retreated, and in Kaijing, a peace treaty was negotiated.

The military horses loyal to Wang Zhao withdrew from Kaesong, and the Qi army entered the city to provide security for both sides.

In Kaesong, although the Qi army only entered 500 soldiers, all the armor was bright and majestic, and they rode on horseback on the streets of Kaesong, which made the Goryeo residents in the city frightened, awe-inspired, and curious, and they all hid from a distance and watched secretly.

It was Han Derang who presided over the peace between the two sides in the city, of course, he had fully understood Lu Ning's meaning, and he would add all kinds of demands of the Qi people to the peace treaty, such as the garrison, the embassy, and so on.

Since the military horses of the Qi State have entered Kaecheng, they will naturally not withdraw easily.

Lu Ning's sketch is that Park Shouqing is the king of North Korea, and Wang Zhao is the king of South Korea.

Wang Zhao and his loyal subjects retreated to Gwangju in the south, and retained the land of Benhan, which was called Namhan, and the rest of the Goryeo land in the south of Daedong Gangnam was called North Korea, which was the land under Park Shouqing.

In Kaesong and Gwangju, the Daqi Metropolitan garrison was 500 and an embassy was set up.

The barracks of the garrison and the embassy are all Qi territory.

Five hundred garrisons, each garrison, with two servants, were filled by the local Goryeo Yongjian.

At the same time, the fields near the barracks are also made of Qi soil, which can be cultivated by local Goryeo farmers hired by the garrison, and the harvest is used as food for the garrison, and if the harvest is insufficient, it is provided by South Korea and North Korea.

The copper mines in South Korea and North Korea are mined by the Baixing of the East China Sea of Daqi, and after the money is minted, one out of ten is used as the cost of copper mining.

The envoy of the upper embassy deals with all affairs such as copper mining and trade, and if the Qi people violate the criminal law in Korea, the upper embassy will rule and convict them in accordance with the laws of Qi.

At the same time, Dongnaedi (near Busan) in the southeast of Korea was owned by the Daqi Emperor, who would open a port here and set up a city as "Busan City".

Lu Ning plans to use the model of "Donghae City" to manage the Port of Busan, making the Port of Busan an an important supply point for his Northeast ocean-going fleet and an important node for trade between Japan and South Korea in Northeast China.

Of course, these don't have to be mentioned with the Koreans.

The most important conditions are these, and they are also the bottom line that Han Derang must negotiate, as for whether Han Derang will judge the situation and help Daqi get more benefits at the negotiation table, it depends on his performance.

……

The low sedan chair is also very narrow inside, Lu Ning looks a little crowded when he sits in it alone, not to mention the Jin family, although the Jin family is slender and delicate, but it is also a straw that crushes the camel, Lu Ning simply took her in his arms and sat on his lap, and he couldn't help but get up, and even took off his shoes and socks, playing with the soft snow-white jade feet, and the snow feet coated with red Kodan, no matter how he kneaded it, he didn't like it enough.

Two days ago on the sea boat, Lu Ning couldn't help but pamper her again, this delicate lady can only bend her wishes, she was originally extremely noble, but now she has become her own slave, and it is really a unique taste to conquer.

At this moment, the Jin family's jade feet moved, giggled, gasped in Lu Ning's ear, and whispered: "Father Jun, he knows how to bully slave concubines, but he can't do anything about the two Khitan queens. ”

After a long time, the Jin family naturally knew who the two Khitan ladies who followed Lu Ning's side were.

Listening to Jin's words, Lu Ning coughed.

Indeed, the day after arriving in Jingji Bay, she led Empress Xiao ashore to relax, but she was still cold all the way and never pretended to herself.

Right now, Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy also followed behind in a small sedan chair.

is also to do the right thing, take them out to relax.

"Concubines have a way, so that they obediently listen to the words of the monarch......" Jin whispered in Lu Ning's ear.

Lu Ning smiled secretly in his heart, if it was the master and servant of the Qianqiu Palace, the Jin family was afraid that he would always spoil the two of them, and Queen Xiao and Yi were lazy, the Jin family felt that there was no conflict of interest, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to help but toss her later, so he came up with an idea randomly.

Waving his hand, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Forget it, seeing them, I am always alert to the terrible consequences of my country,"

When the Jin family heard Lu Ning's words, they didn't dare to speak, a companion is like a tiger, there are many taboos, especially talking about "ruining the country", no matter what she says, it may cause trouble.

At this time, Lu Ning stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the sedan chair to look out.

The sedan chair squeaked and moved forward slowly, and the two Goryeo porters who carried the sedan chair were black and thin, but their strength was not small.

Outside, it is a small town near Beijing, there are dozens of families, and a few miles south of the town, it is the place where Wang Zhao's army and horses are temporarily stationed.

Lu Ning looked outside but thought secretly, he wandered around for almost a day, but here, as a good camp for the Qi army to be stationed in Kaecheng in the future, the nearby land is fertile, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Looking at the Goryeo natives hiding in the thatched huts on both sides and watching in fear and secretly watching outside, although the land is fertile, they all have vegetables on their faces, and they are just serfs on this land, and the fertile land here, needless to say, must be owned by the powerful people in the city, so that this Goryeo people have become hired farmers of the garrison of this dynasty, which is actually a good thing for them.

There is no need to think that these Goryeo natives will soon become supporters of Daqi and lead the way.

As for the garrison's Goryeo servants, it is inevitable that they will turn back and turn into extremely fierce and loyal hunting dogs, as long as their living conditions are much higher than before, once Goryeo rebels, they will bite back when they help Qi people quell the rebellion, I am afraid that they will be more ruthless than anyone else.

The characteristics of the Korean people are like this, many of them have extremely extreme personalities, and unlike later generations, they have not yet formed a unified nation-state, and most of them are in awe and yearning for the Central Plains.

Even if the peace talks between the north and the south go well, Lu Ning's expedition to the east is also ready to recruit 1,000 Goryeo Yongjian to supplement the Zhendong army.

Goryeo mercenaries have always been more brutal than pawns in the suzerain, and this is all traditional.

Of course, the premise is that there are Daqi ordnance to arm its fangs, otherwise, the current combat effectiveness of the Goryeo people is really worrying.

And now that the division of South and North Korea, and the various interests of Daqi here, can it really be called a suzerain.

Historically, the Central Plains has always been a nominal suzerainty to vassal states, which is completely different from the meaning of the Western suzerainty.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lu Ning suddenly looked at the south.

After a while, a fast horse galloped over, it was the light bow servant who was a scout, and when he got close, he didn't have time to roll off his horse, so he loudly told the two team leaders in front of him, Fu Qian and Tuoba Sanniang, that he had found it.

Lu Ning heard it clearly, but a team of military horses appeared in the south, looking at the banner, it was Wang Zhao's military horses, probably more than a thousand, coming to this town.

knocked on the sedan chair, and soon a face was revealed next to the car window, Pei Long's hideous face.

"Go and tell the four team leaders, let's go to the south entrance of this town, line up, and see what Wang Zhao wants to do."

Listening to Lu Ning's order, Pei Long and Pei Hu, one forward, the other backward, strode away, and went to inform the four team leaders in front of the team and behind the team.
