The peaceful settlement of the Gyeongseong Incident was a great historical event that shook China and the rest of the world, which saved the cultural relics of Gyeongseong from the flames of war and completely preserved, enabled the Korean people in Gyeongseong to avoid the loss of the war, and achieved the expected goal of shocking a handful of reactionaries in Korea.

In this process, the greatest contribution was made by the factory minister, the genius leader most revered by the East Asian people, and the genius military talent of the heavenly minister Wei Gong.

After the Kuandian swept the cave, the Ming Emperor's army led by the Duke of Wei worked tirelessly, regardless of fatigue, and resolutely inspected the vassal Korea, creating the first case of the Ming Dynasty inspecting the vassals, which was a unique innovation, and it was also the first time in Chinese history to clearly have sovereignty and governance over the vassals.

In order to get to the root of the problem and to better unite the Korean people, Wei Gong had to lead the soldiers of the Ming Imperial Army to attack a small Korean reactionary force, and successively created the great victory of Nanyang, Funing, and Qingxing, and finally forced the civil and military forces of the Korean Protectorate to bear the guilt. ——Excerpt from the official edition of the Hanlin Academy "Wei Gongdang Hulu"

……….

As the Ming Imperial Army led by Duke Wei continued to grow, it eventually became the main force of the Ming army. The imperial army has the largest number of soldiers, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the largest control area, and the vassal vassals in East Asia have successively become the official territory of the Ming Dynasty, because of this series of achievements, the Duke of Wei has also become the symbol of the Ming Empire, and is called the "flower of the empire" by the world. —Excerpt from "The Flower of Empire"

In the life of the Duke of Wei for the country and the people, his military command ability played a very important role in the current situation, and it was also the most important factor in the comeback of the Duke of Wei after being attacked by the conservative forces of the imperial court.

It is undeniable that compared with military command ability, Wei Gong's political talent is even more outstanding. Under the leadership of Wei Gong, the Ming Dynasty gradually entered glory.

The political ability of the Duke of Wei is the absolute leadership of the Ming Imperial Army, the relationship between the Imperial Army and the locality, the development of the Imperial Army and the construction of East Asian countries.

Wei Gong clearly pointed out that the combat effectiveness of the Ming Imperial Army depended on the support of ideological work, and the core position of the imperial army was established from the grassroots level, so as to prevent the imperial army from being mixed with ordinary domestic troops. In response to the warlord habits that might exist in the imperial army, Duke Wei spared no effort to educate, rectify, and fight......

Duke Wei's political strategy, his optimistic spirit and firm belief in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and his handling of the relationship between the imperial army and the people of the occupied areas won the support of the people of the world and the support of the Holy See. ——Excerpt from Wei Gong's self-description "Our Struggle"

With his superb leadership skills, Wei Gong properly handled his relationship with the Korean subordinates in Jingcheng after the Jingcheng Incident, and was able to expel and clean up the stubborn and conservative pro-Han forces in Jingcheng. For the later Ping'an Province and Huanghai Province, they also quickly gained their trust.

After the signing of the Jingseong Agreement, Park Zhengtai, Park Seok-dong, Hyun Woo, Cho Ji-sung and other former Korean officials became one of the most important supporters of Wei Gong. After the arrival of officials sent by Seoul, although Wei Gong was very dissatisfied with their bureaucratic style and was out of place, Wei Gong still won the support of these two Korean officials through hard work.

With regard to the contradictions and disagreements between the Jingshi and the emperor, the Duke of Wei also paid attention to strategy, and on the premise of not changing the fundamental strategic policy, limited concessions, strategic efforts and risk resolution achieved good results.

After receiving the emperor's strong support, some court officials and Liaodong generals consciously stood under the banner of Wei Gong and became the main members of the first generation of eunuch leadership collective with Wei Gong as the leadership core.

........ and during the Apocalypse, the ancestral hall of Duke Wei and his uncle Zhongxian was widely established, and everyone at the time called "big and small Chitose". ——Excerpt from the folk romance "The Master of Ceremonies"

………….

The peaceful settlement of Jingcheng made Gonggong Wei happy for a day and didn't sleep, but the subsequent statistical work on the treasury of Jingcheng made Gonggong unable to laugh.

I have to say that the North Korean people are really poor.

The treasury of a large capital protectorate, including gold and silver plus copper coins, is worth more than 80,000 taels in total. Combined with the previous compensation from the counties, the total is only more than 300,000 taels.

What kind of concept is this, which is equivalent to the financial revenue of Daming Province.

How does this work?

The father-in-law took the soldiers of the imperial army to work so hard, and came to the vassal for thousands of miles, and it was better to borrow more money from Yangzhou salt merchants for half a day, isn't this nonsense!

The fair man has three hatreds, one hates that others are more handsome and bigger than him; Second, I hate other people's wives for being too good-looking; 3. Hate others for being poorer than him.

Therefore, in special periods, special measures must be exercised.

Otherwise, this little money is not enough to have a relationship with the emperor.

The public can't get money for this, so the father-in-law can only share the money into the household.

The father-in-law's close comrade-in-arms Park Jung-tae, who temporarily served as the envoy of the Jingcheng Metropolitan Protector, and a cadre of Jingcheng Wenwu summoned him, and said sadly that the soldiers were living in difficulty, and they couldn't even afford to reimburse the cost of going back this time...

On the same day, the three classes of commoners, middle-aged people, and nobles in the city were notified by the yamen that they wanted to contribute to the great Ming soldiers.

In order to prevent these North Korean officials from extorting and extorting money under the banner of themselves and the Ming Dynasty, and ruining the reputation of the father-in-law and the Ming Dynasty, the father-in-law repeatedly emphasized that every article is love, saying that the people must donate voluntarily and must not be forced.

In order to prevent some officials from impeaching him after returning to China, his father-in-law also deliberately issued this requirement in clear text to prove his innocence. He also dispatched officers and soldiers to supervise the DPRK side to prevent a situation that the father-in-law did not want to see.

Of course, out of sympathy for the common people, especially the poor, the father-in-law removed the poor from the ranks of donors. However, limited to manpower, in the specific implementation process, whether the officials of Jingcheng strictly implemented the father-in-law's orders or not, the father-in-law really could not find out.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of the wealthy families in Jingcheng, the father-in-law sat in the palace at the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protector for three consecutive days, only to praise the Korean gentry and wealthy families who donated large sums of money.

This move was really well received, and the effect was obvious.

Within three days, the people of Jingcheng enthusiastically donated more than 50,000 taels of war compensation, and the tired father-in-law couldn't lift the knife on his wrist.

It's just that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.

While the people of Mirror City are united, the neighboring Ping'an Road is ready to move.

According to Tanma, Ping'an Dao has concentrated an elite army in Hongyuan Mansion, which is adjacent to the capital of Jingcheng, with no less than 10,000 troops, including 2,400 Northern Forbidden Army as the main force.

This army was obviously coming towards the Ming Imperial Army, but it may have been delayed because the Pyongan Province had not yet received a clear reply from Seoul.

However, the more Pyongan Dao did not move, the more worried the North Korean officials in Jingcheng became.

With the idea that everyone can go into the water so that everyone can be good, Wei Gonggong's close comrade-in-arms Park Zhengtai Ji and lobbying father-in-law inspect Ping'an Road.

However, the father-in-law's enthusiasm was not too high, because he found that North Korea was really too poor. The Jingcheng side has not been swept by the Japanese army, but the Ping'an Road side has been penetrated by the Japanese army, so if the imperial army goes over, it may not be able to revitalize much money.

My father-in-law is now thinking of waiting for the Seoul side to take the initiative to talk to him about the war compensation, so that everyone can open the plate.

Whether or not to inspect Ping'an Road is the next stage of whether this meeting can be negotiated or not. That is to say, if you are not satisfied with our family in Seoul, our family will fight again on the road of peace.

Promote talks by fighting, and promote peace by talks.

How can you be like a reckless man who only knows how to fight.

Fighting, not the goal.
