"The matter between you and Houjin, this official understands very well!" Yan Changwu's first sentence, he is the speech of a mature politician, you don't understand, it's just annoying both sides.

Unless you bring the soldiers to level the Houjin, Yan Dashao can't do it at present.

Hong Yihan immediately burst into tears on his cheeks, and said in a choked voice: "Shangguo...... We're sorry for God! ”

To tell the truth, the Kingdom of Korea was very ashamed of the submission of the Later Jin, they were deeply influenced by the Han culture, and they all recognized themselves as Han people (of course, only the upper class thought that they were, and the P people of Korea were not qualified) regarded the Later Jin as barbarians, and as Han Chinese, how could they be barbarians!

But the power of the other side is justice, the cavalry rushes in, the knife is on the side, what can the North Koreans do?

They are weak and not a fighting people, so they are powerless to resist.

According to the Korean envoy of Houjin, who came back, he knew that Houjin still retained a large number of barbarian attributes, which made the upper echelons of North Korea seriously BS, and hated himself even more for giving in to barbarians.

"The past is over, the key is the future!" Yan Changwu is not very authentic.

So the two sides reached an agreement, the main content of which was that North Korea supported the anti-Japanese war of Mao Wenlong on Phi Island, and every year the treasury allocated silver money, up to a quarter of the country's expenditure, to send Phi Island, and at the same time in Pyongan Province and Hwanghae Province to collect grain to send to Phi Island, the collected rice is called "Mao Rice"!

As for trade with the southeastern province, it is natural to collect information about Houjin and not cooperate with Houjin.

The two of them met in the "Heaven and Earth" Pavilion on Ganghwa Island, this pavilion is located in the middle of the mountain, just overlooking the port, this meeting is not called the Heaven and Earth Circle Agreement, and later the North Koreans specially built a memorial hall.

After talking, Yan Changwu invited Hong Yihan to visit the gunboats of the Southeast Province.

Yan Changwu did not let other forces get on board, but he exerted pressure on North Korea.

Cannon Giant!

Officers and men of first-class quality!

Good supplies!

Impressed by Hong Yihan, he soon returned to Seoul to report the events of his trip to the Korean monarchs, along with gifts and greetings from Yan Changwu!

Yan Changwu was very angry, and gave the king of the Joseon a set of high-quality silverware (tableware) from Taiwan, and a set of exquisite porcelain for the ministers, plus tea, rum and milk candy, of which rum and milk candy are Taiwanese specialties, he is generous, and the milk candy is particularly sweet, Hong Yihan signaled how to eat sugar.

"Since it is a gift from the kingdom, everyone can taste it!" Li Qi said kindly.

It was a disgrace to eat in front of the king, but when the Ming Kingdom sent a gift, Li Liang was not as happy as everyone else, so the soldiers on duty watched the kings and ministers peel off the candy paper and eat one after another, and the scene they had never seen before made them all drool.

"Heh, it's so sweet, it's really a kingdom!" The kings and ministers ate sweetly.

“…… Looking at this Taiwan guard gunboat, the artillery is huge, there are many guns, and the officers and men are quite capable, we ......" Hong Yihan's words did not come out, but everyone knew what he meant.

The Ming people still have strength, and if they really come to the door, North Korea will be in big trouble.

Especially when I heard about the food of the Taiwan Guard Fleet (Hong Yihan ate the Chinese food on the ship), it made the Korean monarchs and ministers feel incredible, even the soldiers have meat to eat? And no less?

This is a big shock to the Korean monarchs and ministers who give pork ribs as a heavy gift, causing some ministers to not believe it, Hong Yihan said unhappily: "There is no need for the kingdom to lie to us, because they are all so big and so tall!" ”

He made a gesture to indicate that the Ming people were a circle larger and taller than the North Koreans, proving that what he said was true, and everyone believed it.

Li Gui, an important minister, said hesitantly: "It is natural to support the war of resistance of the kingdom, but the barbarians of Jianzhou ......"

A sentence weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, but Hong Yihan stood up and said firmly: "You must support Shangguo, the minister guarantees with his life, and Shangguo will win!" ”

Everyone knows that this Hong Yihan is a staunch Ming fan (this firmness does not contain a derogatory meaning), and has always supported the Ming State with a clear banner (if there is no Yan Changwu, the later historical process is that the Later Jin Dynasty wants North Korea to be a vassal, North Korea refuses, the Later Jin attack, North Korea surrenders, Hong Yihan, Yin Ji, Wu Daji, the three ministers who supported the Anti-Japanese War were captured in Shenyang and bravely righteous, and paid the price of their lives for their kingdom, called the Three Bachelors!). But in the past, I was sad, distressed that my country had to give in to Houjin, and if I didn't support the words of the Ming people, my conscience could not pass, and if I supported the words of the Ming people, my head was uneasy again.

What made him change his course?

"Because of the youth of General Yan, the commander of Taiwan's guard, he is less than twenty years old!" Hong Yihan is full of authenticity.

Being young is good, like the rising sun, giving people great confidence and convincing.

Now he is already very powerful, the future is all his, not from his words, he has been engaged in North Korea for at least thirty or forty years, ask if North Korea is afraid?

……

Next, Hong Yihan took out a box of gifts from Yan Changwu to the North Korean people: potatoes! (Not only, there are many more)

Potatoes were introduced to China between the 16th and 17th centuries, Fujian Yuegang as a window for foreign trade, there were Chinese merchants to get potatoes back, and then the southeast province also planted, Yan Changwu had planned to use potatoes to stuff vodka, and later found that sweet potatoes were more suitable for Taiwan, and the yield of sweet potatoes was more and more easy to live, and potatoes were only planted in a small area.

But it is more advantageous to plant potatoes in North Korea, where the climate is suitable for growing potatoes.

"Potatoes have a high yield, food for the people, and can solve the grain problem of our North Korea, General Yan said, he hopes that the people of our country will have food, and the rule will be stable, and he will specially provide potatoes and planting technology, and he is also willing to send technical advisers to help our country plant, so as to increase China's grain production!" After listening to Hong Yihan's story, the Korean monarchs and ministers were excited, what a good kingdom, compared to the barbarians of Jianzhou, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth!

It's just that...... Hong Yihan conveyed the statement of the Ming people: "Potatoes are the food of the small people! ”

As Chen Xinji said, sweet potatoes are food for pigs, and if you don't know how to make potatoes, such as a "stewed potato with water", it is really hard to eat!

So what, the nobles eat rice, the small people eat potatoes, come on!

Potatoes are planted in North Korea, because of the high yield, easy to live, the people are more because of it (North Korea has many mountains, rice and wheat are not easy to grow, and potatoes are born as long as there is mud in the mountains), because of the kindness of General Yan, Yan Changwu is the overseer, so the North Koreans call the potatoes "Du Dou"! (Overseer's Potato)

……

After many lays, the Joseon court signed a secret agreement with the southeastern province to support the anti-Japanese war on Phi Dao, and the money and grain of North Korea continued to flow to Phi Dao, which surprised the people of Phi Dao, who had also received help from Koreans before, but it was not as stable and large as it is now.

If you do good deeds, you will not leave your name unnamed, Zhang Shouyun on Phi Island privately preached that everyone knew that it was the Southeast Government who helped, so Zhang Shouyun's work situation opened.

……

As for Yan Changwu, he returned with a boatload of skins and ginseng (collected from Phi Dao and Joseon), and on his way home, he visited the Edo shogunate.

He is now an old friend of the people of the Japanese country!
