Chapter 724: Annan, Korea (2)
Beijing.
The North Korean envoy Park An-tae was in chaos at the center of the guest house arranged by Hongroji Temple.
The Han Dynasty recovered China, and the Korean monarchs and ministers were all rejoicing.
Although the Han Dynasty was built in place of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, which was also orthodox in China, still easily won the loyalty of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
However, before the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to pay tribute, and continued to claim the courtiers, the Koreans waited for a nightmare in their hearts.
The vicious Manchus, led by Dolgon, retreated all the way east from Liaodong and invaded Korea.
Although the Manchus now only have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, Korea has long been frightened by the Manchus.
Faced with the concerted efforts of the Manchu people, northern Korea soon fell.
A year later, even Seoul was breached.
Yi Liang had to lead some of his ministers to take refuge in the south, and the two classes of nobles in Korea were killed and captured, and the entire Joseon Dynasty was in danger.
It was under such circumstances that Park An-tae was ordered to come to Dahan.
On the one hand, it is to congratulate the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is also to ask for sealing.
The calculations of the Korean monarchs and ministers were clanging, as long as the Han still recognized Korea as a vassal state, the Han Emperor would naturally send troops to quell the rebellion.
The crisis in North Korea could be resolved immediately.
Park Antai has been in Dahan for several months, but when he really arrived in Beijing, he found that the system of Dahan was completely different from that of Daming.
The Honglu Temple, which was in charge of foreign affairs, had only been established for a long time, and the ministers who had dealings with North Korea in the old Ming Dynasty were basically beaten as Han, and Park Antai couldn't find anyone to introduce him if he wanted to see the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
It was not until September of the second year of Yuanwu that he heard that Chen Weizhi, the envoy of Annan, had also arrived in Beijing, and Park Antai received a notice from Honglu Temple to prepare for the pilgrimage while staying at the guest house of diplomats.
On the seventh day of October, under the leadership of Cheng Lingen of Honglu Temple, Park Antai and Chen Weizhi walked into the newly decorated imperial pole.
"North Korean envoy Park An-tae"
"Annan's envoy Chen Weizhi"
"On the orders of our country, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty long live, long live, long live, and wish the Han Dynasty prosperity."
As soon as the two foreign envoys entered Jinluan, they fell to their knees cleanly, and a large rainbow slapped wildly.
For the feudal states, it is normal to meet the emperor of China.
The Han monarchs and ministers were still very pleased with the knowledge of Korea and Annam.
Liu Ximing immediately waved his wide sleeves, "Two Qing Jiaping".
"Your Majesty"
"I already know about Korea and Annam, and I am deeply saddened by the invasion of the two countries by the Manchu Tatars and the traitor Zhang Xianzhong."
"Your Majesty"
Park Aon-tae threw himself down and cried.
"Are the Tartars human? Zhu Shen slaughtered in the territory of Korea, and the gentry of our dynasty suffered particularly heavy losses, and the mountains and rivers were already stained with blood for thousands of miles.
I, the whole Korea, look forward to the arrival of the king's master, just like the parents of a child, and ask Your Majesty to send heavenly soldiers as soon as possible for the sake of my Korea's loyalty. ”
Annan's envoy Chen Weizhi also knelt down and wiped his tears and said:
"The same is true of Annan, Zhang Yi is inhumane, there is no grass and no chickens and dogs left everywhere he passes, I Annan beg His Majesty to send heavenly soldiers to help, from now on, I will never dare to have the slightest thought."
Liu Ximing on the dragon chair wiped the corners of his eyes with a caring look.
"North Korea and Annam are my homeland of China, and although the people of this place have other lords, they are also my people, and when I hear about these tragic events, I really can't sleep at night."
He turned his head to look at Su Jin, "Prime Minister, this matter has been sent to the cabinet, how did the cabinet discuss it?" ”
Su Jin is in a purple robe, revealing a strong majesty.
Hearing Liu Ximing's question, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have discussed with Cao Taiwei and other ministers, and the ministers think that it is inappropriate to send troops at this time. ”
"Huh?"
Park Antai and Chen Weizhi's faces changed greatly, "Your Majesty", and the two cried and kowtowed again.
Su Jin hurriedly explained:
"There are two reasons for the ministers, one is that my Han has just ended the civil war, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the soldiers have been fighting for many years, and they have long been war-weary, so it should be repaired at this time."
"Second, our army is still attacking Mongolia and the Western Regions at the moment, and these two places alone will use hundreds of thousands of horses and nearly one billion yuan in silver, where is there still the spare strength to rescue Annan and North Korea."
"This third, that is, the ministers think that North Korea and Annam and other countries did not contribute to the Ming Dynasty during the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea is even more rebellious and rebellious, what is the use of such a subject country My Han wants to come, so it is better not to send troops."
Park An-tae knelt down to Su Jin with a panicked face.
"Su Xiang, my North Korea has always been loyal to the former Ming Dynasty, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked the Ming Dynasty in many ways, it was my North Korea that was contained in the rear, how can I say that I have not achieved an inch."
"As for being forced to pledge allegiance to the Zhushen savages later, it was only because the Zhushen soldiers were very sharp, and my Korean monarchs and ministers were really powerless to resist."
"But even so, my North Korea still regards the former Ming as orthodox, and the sacrifices are endless, and the condolences are continuous, which shows the loyalty of my North Korea. Please also ask Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to learn from it. ”
Chen Weizhi also cried bitterly and said: "My Annan country is small and weak, and there are Ruan and other rebellious ministers in the country, so I can't afford to pay tribute to the Chinese Son of Heaven, but I, Annan, have not forgotten the Chinese Son of Heaven for a moment, and I also ask Your Majesty to learn from it." ”
Liu Ximing looked very embarrassed.
Cao Bianjiao held the wat and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Liu Ximing perked up, "Qing is a captain, of course you can." ”
"Your Majesty, my Han soldiers are not afraid of hardship and bloodshed, but we are afraid that our efforts will not be rewarded."
"The minister thinks that with Middle-earth as the center, the system of tributary of the four feudal states is more for me to give away my interests in China, and then in exchange for the nominal allegiance of these feudal states."
"Of course, this method is okay for a country like the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty, although he lost his heart, but after all, the Ming Emperor got face."
"But my Han is different, my Han is the people as the lord of the world, and Your Majesty governs the world as the eldest brother of the world, this foreign policy naturally wants to make my Han people profitable, otherwise what do you want me to do with the ministers, please think twice."
Park Aon-tae was stunned.
When will the Chinese Celestial Empire also begin to be full of profits.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the country has been firmly in Germany, where is the interests of the region can be guaranteed, although the vassal state has not let China profit, but the coming of all countries is the embodiment of China's virtue, how can it be evaluated by this statement, the minister thinks it is inappropriate."
Park Antai is worthy of being a Confucian minister from Little China, and even though he refuted Cao Bianjiao's words with righteous words.
Who knew that Liu Ximing on the dragon chair smiled slightly, and actually nodded towards Cao Bianjiao.
"I think that what Taiwei said is right, my Han dynasty is for the people of the world, if helping North Korea and Annam can't benefit the people of my Han Dynasty, then this battle will not be able to pass there, and this matter really needs to be discussed again."
Liu Ximing looked at Park Antai and Chen Weizhi, "Although my Han is also Chinese orthodoxy, he has now decided to change the atmosphere and vow to enter a new modern society." ”
"The two of you have been in Beijing for so long, and you have seen the changes in Beijing City, in short, the national policy of my Han Dynasty has changed, you two should report back to their respective lords first."
"Your Majesty"
Park An-tae and Chen cried heartbreakingly.
But how could the Han monarchs and ministers pay attention to them, and Cheng Lingen of Honglu Temple immediately came to invite the two of them.
Walking out of Kim Luang with tears in his eyes, Park An-tae quietly stuffed fifty 100 yuan Chinese dollar bills into Lingen's hand.
"Shaocheng, please also teach me how to make the Son of Heaven change his mind, I am really a loyal minister in North Korea."
Lingen was so frightened that his face turned pale, he opened Park Antae's hand and scolded angrily on the spot:
"Envoy self-respect, I heard that you have tried to bribe officials many times in Binshe, didn't they tell you about my Han's disciplinary policy?"
"My Han Dynasty has cracked down on corruption and bribery of officials, and it has only been two years since the founding of the country, and 327 officials above the seventh grade have been tried, and you are harming me."
The tears on Park Antae's face had not yet dried, he looked at the empty square in front of the emperor, and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Aren't you and I both officials for money, there is no one else around here, Shaocheng don't have to worry, both of us really want to ask you."
Lin Gen couldn't help but smack his lips, "How can it be so simple, all my Han officials have to publicize their assets, and all salaries have to go out of the money bank account, and it is easy to spend your money but it is difficult to spend it." ”
"Besides, my Han practices the style of thrift and thrift, and the official's salary is enough for the family to live a decent life, so why take risks."
"Listen to the advice of this official, don't engage in these things in my big man, you know, bribery is also a sentence."
