Chapter 230: The Far-sighted Duke of Wei

As the first official on the North Korean side to know the news of the founding of Jianzhou and the name of Khan, Li Qingquan's surprise was no less than that of Yang Hao, the former aid of Shangqiu in Henan, and he knew very well what the rise of this Dajin built by Jianzhou meant to North Korea.

The two families are feuding.

Vendetta and invasion of each other are staged every year, burning villages, smashing the villages, killing the young and strong, and capturing the old and the young, which is almost a common occurrence in North Korea and Jianzhou in the past hundred years.

Both sides see themselves as the side of justice.

Because, land represents living space; The living space represents the interests of the people.

In the vendetta with North Korea, the biggest loss suffered by Jianzhou was the "Thunder Sweep" during the Chenghua period.

Because of the time of Jianzhou, he plundered and plundered, pretending to be a Tartar, Kou Qian Liaodong, capturing border people, killing and injuring officers and soldiers, ravaging the border, poisoning creatures, and Emperor Chenghua specially ordered to level Jianzhou.

At that time, the Korean army dispatched by the Ming Dynasty, under the command of the commander Bishang, crossed the Yalu River with more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and rushed to both sides of the Pozhu River and Wuerfu, where Jianzhou was located.

The general of the Korean army, Yu Youzhao, led the army to break through the cottage guarded by Li Manzhu's father and son, and killed Li Manzhu after being hit by an arrow, and his son Li Gunaha also died in the chaos. This achievement was rewarded by the Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, and he was specially ordered to "give fifty taels of silver and four pieces of satin silk".

And this Li Manzhu father and son are the ancestors of the current Ming Jianzhou Left and Right Governor and Dragon and Tiger General Nurhachi.

Since the Battle of Chenghua, the DPRK has always taken the initiative to open up to the north. It is a pity that the national strength of the DPRK is weak, and the struggle between the two classes of the DPRK and China is cruel and abnormal, and the Jurchen tribes gradually lose their enterprising spirit.

The outbreak of the "Imjin War" completely lost Korea's slight advantage over the Jurchens, and Nurhachi used the support of Li Chengliang to continue to strengthen itself, encroaching on and annexing the northern land of Korea and capturing its people. The counties of Hamgyong Prefecture in northern Korea have become "guerrilla zones" for Jurchen captivity, and the people's livelihood is withered and dilapidated.

At that time, Nurhachi took the initiative to invite Yingying to enter the dynasty to resist the Japanese and was blocked by Yang Hao, because Yang Hao knew that once the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou entered the court, the disaster would be worse than that of the Japanese army. And from time to time, there are rumors that Jianzhou aided the DPRK was actually instructed by Li Chengliang, and he wanted to be the king of Joseon.

After the victory of the Korean War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Gwanghae-jun did not want to work hard to improve himself and solve the pressure of state-building in northern Korea. However, Ri Sung-liang's single-minded intention of sheltering Jianzhou made it difficult for the North Korean side to do much.

After Yi Sung-liang resigned and returned to Beijing, people of insight in North Korea saw an opportunity to solve the problem of establishing a state, but the domestic party struggles, especially the struggle over the legitimacy of Gwanghae-jun's succession, made the Korean parliamentary government unable to take care of the northern border at all.

Therefore, when the Great Ming envoy suddenly came from the Yalu River to inspect and there were rumors that the Ming army had broken the Jianzhou soldiers and horses in the Kuandian area, many officials in the DPRK were very excited about this, believing that the opportunity to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty again to sweep away the Jianzhou had finally come.

However, what these officials never expected was that this great envoy turned out to be an insatiable eunuch. Not only did it fail to carry out effective cooperation with the DPRK, but it supported a group of Korean traitors to set up the Xie'an Association in the north without authorization, and even established a Korean pro-Ming Zhongzheng division mainly composed of the former Korean puppet army, as if more than a dozen counties in the northern part of Korea were regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which directly violated the rights and interests of the DPRK as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

After the military could not solve the problem and the envoy returned to China, a group of hard-line officials in the government persuaded Guanghaijun in the palace, and this was the case that Dabei sent his old minister Li Qingquan to cross the sea to Yanjing to complain.

It's just that linking the occurrence of this series of events with the fact that Jianzhou openly established the state and called Khan has become a good thing for the North Korean side.

If what Eunuch Wei said is true, and the Nu chief Nuerhachi has really established himself and openly rebelled, then the existence of the Hyean District in northern Korea can bear the pressure from the Jin army for Seoul.

Moreover, if the regular army of the Ming Dynasty can be stationed in Xie'an District, it will undoubtedly be a protection for North Korea, not an invasion as some officials of the Seoul parliamentary government claim.

There is one thing that Li Qingquan and the young Ming Dynasty eunuchs in front of him agree on, that is, the Jin army, which has established a country, will definitely be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty and Korea. Compared with the powerful Ming Dynasty, the Jin army was most likely to attack the weak Korea.

"Our country has just gone through the three major expeditions, the treasury is empty, and if there is anything else in North Korea, I am afraid that the heavenly soldiers will not be able to rush as they did back then."

Eunuch Wei said.

How could Li Qingquan not understand the implicit meaning of this sentence, it was obvious that Eunuch Wei was threatening him, but it was also a fact.

If the Jin army really waved its troops to attack Korea, according to the current intensity of the party struggle in the Celestial Empire and the lack of national treasury, the Ming Dynasty would not make any effective support for North Korea for at least a year.

This assumption exists, and the heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the battle to aid Korea were also urgently aided by the DPRK when the country was almost destroyed.

If the North Korean side insists on visiting the Ming Emperor on the legitimacy of the Xie'an region in northern Korea, it means that once the Jin army attacks Korea, North Korea is likely to repeat the events of the country's demise.

Therefore, for the sake of China-DPRK friendship and the national security of the DPRK, the existence of the DPRK's northern cooperation is the best way for the two sides to cooperate.

"The Northern Xie'an District is a far-sighted decision of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is the greatest responsibility to the vassals."

Gonggong Wei emphasized.

"If the country insists on the illegality of the Xie'an Zone, our family will make a statement to Your Majesty, but all the consequences caused by this, my Celestial Empire will not be responsible!"

..........

After judging the situation and weighing the severity, Li Gongqingquan, on behalf of Guanghaijun, expressed to His Majesty the Ming Emperor and the angel Wei Gongliangchen the determination of the Korean and Jianzhou rebels to be incompatible.

Li Gongqingquan pledged that the DPRK would support the counterinsurgency struggle of the Ming Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, so as to repay the deep affection of his sons for their father.

Wei Gongliangchen said that the establishment of the Xie'an region in northern Korea is of special historical significance, and the Ming Dynasty affirmed and supported the territorial integrity of the vassal subordinates, and would never interfere in the internal affairs of Korea.

"He (Nurhachi) led the Jianzhou rebels to launch terrorist attacks on the innocent Ming and North Korean people, malignantly injuring and killing thousands of people. His behavior is shameful and must not be tolerated, and his ambition and selfishness are bound to bring disaster to the Jurchen people. ”

Wei Gonggong criticized the past policies on the left and right guards of Jianzhou, accusing these policies and relevant officials of raising tigers for trouble, deliberately creating divisions, and artificially creating the Jurchens' alienation from the Ming Dynasty, which is a typical act of undermining national unity.

At the same time, Gonggong Wei said that His Majesty the Emperor is planning to launch a massive attack on the rebels in Jianzhou, in order to completely eliminate this reactionary separatist force, restore the land of Liaodong to a prosperous and prosperous world, and restore the people of Daming and Korea a stable, peaceful and prosperous era.

"As long as I exist for a day, I will never allow Jianzhou to become independent from my territory!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Gonggong told Li Qingquan that China and North Korea must work together to reach a new agreement that will make the two countries and their dependent areas a safer and more peaceful place.

Li Qingquan affirmed this.

Subsequently, Wei Gongliangchen personally sent Li Gongqingquan out of Beijing and sent it all the way to Tongzhou.

As a testimony to the friendship between the Chinese and Korean peoples, the 30 copies of the "Collected Works of Wei Gongliangchen" will be brought back to Seoul by Li Gongqingquan for the Korean monarchs and ministers to study.

When I returned to Jingshi again, it was already dawn, and it was the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"Dead ghost, where have you been? The old lady thought you had run away! Hmph, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, you don't want a son if you have the ability! ”

After personally leading people to capture Father-in-law Wei alive who didn't close his eyes all night, Princess Shouning was very angry.
