Although North Korea is a small country, Ji Zhun is the son of a country after all, and his father has been unwell in recent years, and he has been asked to participate on many occasions.

For example, sacrificing Gaozu Xin, such as feasting and drinking, such as discussing this year's tribute with the lords of the city, such as interacting with the surrounding Buyeo, Wofu, Donghao, Mahan and other tribes - although four generations ago, Korea was defeated by the Yan army, seized 200 li of land, and had to pay tribute to the king of Yan Zhao in humiliation. But it's not the Kei clan boasting, in Haidong, Korea is still the only civilized country, and the surrounding small tribes often come to enjoy the congratulations......

Therefore, Ji Zhun can be regarded as having seen a lot of big scenes, but today, he was frightened by the Qin Dynasty prison army sitting opposite!

Here's the thing, as the Qin army returned to Liekou by boat, a voice inside North Korea became louder and louder: When will the Qin army leave?

The Kei Joseon Dynasty is still the feudal lord system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and there are more than ten city lords under the name of the Joseon Marquis, who are close to the king and are called "Dianzhu", and those who are distributed in the distance are called "male masters". Liekou belongs to Ji Neidian, his own territory has been occupied for a long time, and the people have been called by the Qin people, and they have no time to hunt foxes and mink for themselves to collect firewood, and the lord of Liekou Dian is so anxious that he is on fire.

The lord of Diandian did not dare to embarrass the Qin army, so he could only run to Wang Weicheng with all his strength, unite his in-laws and friends, and put pressure on the Joseon Hou.

So, under the pressure of the domestic aristocracy, Ji Zhun could only come to see Fusu with a hard head, called "Reward the Army and Congratulate Gong", but in fact, he inquired sideways:

"When will the kingdom withdraw its troops?"

Fusu is still the same, gentle and elegant, and talks decently, but the "prison army" sitting under him, a black and strong rough man heard this, but he made a straight face and said something to Fusu, and his words were violent!

Although Ji Zhun couldn't understand the original words, judging from the fierce gods and evil spirits of the prison army, it was definitely not a good word.

Sure enough, the translator this person carried, the guy named "Xu Fu", translated the words, and he was also aggressive!

"The thieves of the sea were defeated and escaped, but they were not completely annihilated. Seeing that winter is approaching, the army will rest at Liekou and go south to suppress the Kou in the spring and summer of the next year! I haven't asked when the promised grain from North Korea will arrive, but you have asked why you will withdraw your troops? What does this mean? Is it to drive us away? ”

"That's not what North Korea meant!"

Ji Zhun hurriedly spit out his bitterness at Fusu, and brought out the difficulties of North Korea little by little, such as the scarcity of food, such as this column of mouths, which is actually the territory of a doctor, but it was occupied by the Qin army, and the doctor went to cry twice in three days, and their father and son were annoyed......

Fu Su seemed to be moved, sighed with Ji Zhun, and asked the prison army a few words for him, the two seemed to be discussing, but the prison army Heifu was as strong as iron, and said:

"The Central Plains has a saying, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since North Korea is willing to be a vassal of the Great Qin. North Korea's Jingang is also the port of Daqin's Jin, Hugh said that he will only stay for an extra year and a half, even if he wants to stay forever, can North Korea refuse? ”

Ji Zhun was a little hard, and said without humility or arrogance:

"This sentence, the Ji family left the Central Plains too early, and Ji Zhun has never heard of it."

"In Korea, even if it is a prince, you can't deprive your courtiers of their cities at will!"

Indeed, after all, it is the difference between a bureaucratic empire and a small feudal state, the lords go their own way, listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda, and they are unable to do it in one place, which is also the reason why North Korea has been in a remote corner for hundreds of years and has been beaten to the ground by the Yan State.

Heifu glanced at Ji Zhun, he was a big official, in charge of the people who were more than the population of North Korea, he was also a battle-hardened general, and he had already had countless blood on his hands.

The prince of North Korea hurriedly lowered his head, his heart fluttered, this overseer named Heifu, although he didn't know his deeds, but it was obvious that he and Fusu were completely different people, they liked to be simple and rude, and they would not recite "Yin Wu" with him, and get along with the same aristocratic way for thousands of years.

He simply bared his fangs and raised his fist!

This is probably the ultimate truth in the diplomatic arena......

Seeing Ji Zhun bowing his head, Heifu couldn't help laughing:

"So, North Korea is not the Kei clan who has the final say? Can we bypass the Kei clan and talk directly to the lord of Nayi? ”

A simple sentence that sounded in Ji Zhun's ears, but it made him shudder!

"This ......"

He was calm and calm, but his words still became a little slurred, don't look at the Ji clan ruling Korea for hundreds of years, but there are also a few big tails of the lord and nobles, which makes their father and son have a headache, even within the Ji clan, there are also some branches that were relegated to the border to be the male protagonist after the failure to seize the throne......

This seemingly unintentional sentence of the Black Husband Prison Army is a deep threat!

"So, let's let go of the rules of North Korea and follow the rules of Daqin. As for the lord of Nayi, if he wants, he can not be the feudal monarch of North Korea, but the ruler of Great Qin. ”

Heifu looked at Fusu: "The general and I can explain the cause and effect to Your Majesty, and give him the entire Canghai City, that island has a hundred miles of land, Ji Jun can ask, is he willing to be the city lord?" ”

Ji Zhun was a little confused about how to answer, but Gongzi Fusu clapped his hands and played a round.

"The prison army is right, the army cannot be withdrawn for the time being, in addition to continuing to attack the Haikou in the south next year, it is also to protect North Korea from the surrounding bandits, this is the loss of Fusu, and it should be made up for by Fusu......"

What Fusu said was the more than 1,000 Yan people who fled after the roar of the Manfan Khan camp more than two months ago.

The southern part of Korea is full of tribes, and so is the north.

The northwest is the Liaodong County of the Qin Dynasty, and the north is Zhenfan, and the Fanren belongs to North Korea. Further north is Buyeo, which had formed a loose tribal alliance decades ago, occasionally crossing the mountains and forests to raid Maban and Korea.

To the northeast, east of Mount Gaima, to the sea, is the territory of "Wo Fu".

Wei Man and other defector soldiers wanted to return to Yandi, but they were surrounded by the Anping garrison in eastern and western Liao, and had no choice but to run to the northeast and enter the realm of Zhenfan, with no way ahead, so the Qin army did not pursue.

This group of rebels is also very powerful, with only a thousand people, and they actually occupy the cities of the real small state, entrenched there, burning, killing and looting. The Shinban people couldn't stand it anymore, and after fleeing one after another, the rebels ran out of food and clothing, and recently began to loot the cities of northern Korea.

So in the end, "protecting Korea" became the reason for the Qin army to continue to stay, but the real reason was that North Korea was too small to refuse any request from the Qin Dynasty......

Later, Heifu grabbed the knife, helped Su to hold the pen, and Tuo Jizhun brought an official letter of state to the Joseon Hou:

First, North Korea officially recognized Qin as its suzerain, and North Korea, as a vassal, must send a prince and ten noble children to Xianyang next year to learn Qin characters and Yayan in public schools, and at the same time, the Qin Dynasty will also send a pedestrian to stay in Wang Weicheng.

Second, the Qin army continued to stay in Korea to help North Korea defend against the "southern and northern bandits" and deter the surrounding barbarians. The Qin army had the right to march in the territory of Korea at any time, to moor ships.

Third, the borders of Korea were opened, and the merchants of the Qin Dynasty could trade freely within Korea, and it was the responsibility of the Korean princes and the lords of the provinces to protect their safety. At the same time, the Qin Dynasty and North Korea will implement the "closed market ridicule but not levied", and the goods of the Qin Dynasty shall not be taxed when they enter the DPRK, and the same will be true for the goods of the DPRK when they enter the Qin.

Fourth, due to the simplicity of the laws and regulations of the DPRK, in the future, if the good citizens of the Qin Dynasty committed a crime in Korea, what kind of crime should be convicted, they should be escorted back to the Qin Dynasty for trial and decision.

Each of them made Ji Zhun look bitter, but the third one seemed quite fair.

But afterwards, after saying goodbye to Fusu and returning to the building, Xu Fu, who had been in charge of translation, said to Heifu: "Junjun is really smart! ”

Heifu glanced at him: "Where's Gao Ming?" ”

Xu Fudao: "First, as a wicked person, he scared the Ji family and helped Gongzi Fusu a great favor; second, the evil is to oneself, and the credit is to Fusu, and His Majesty will understand the painstaking efforts of the junjun; Third, to fight for the country's profits, but also for Jiaodong to win a lot of benefits, are two birds with one stone, isn't it smart? ”

Heifu smiled, noncommittal.

Xu Fu is right, in the past few months, with the opening of the shipping route, the trade between Jiaodong and North Korea has become increasingly prosperous, and the silk, sugar, lacquerware and other things of the Central Plains have drifted across the sea, which are quite popular with the aristocratic lords, and the mink skins and other things of North Korea have also been purchased in large quantities.

Although the merchants of the Qin Dynasty also "ate in the government", the Qi people were good at it, and the scale of North Korea was not equal at all. What's more, Heifu had recently set up a "Haidong Trading Company" to recruit merchants from Anqi and give them the privilege of trading furs from Haidong and Liaonan.

The abolition of the border tax meant that the officials and merchants of Jiaodong could dump luxury goods such as silk candy into North Korea and sell them to local nobles at a high price at a very small price. Then, the mink was bought at an extremely low price, brought back to Jiaodong and handed over to the government, which then sold it to the Central Plains and made another profit......

In general, Jiaodong is getting richer and richer in trade, while North Korea is getting poorer and poorer when it exports raw materials and buys luxury goods.

But Kei Jun didn't realize this, or rather, he didn't care at all.

The descendants of the former "merchants", who fled from the treacherous Central Plains, finally degraded themselves after playing single machines in Haidong for 800 years......

Hefu has his own plans and thoughts.

"Gongzi Fusu has a saying that is actually true, not everything can be solved by conquest."

For example, in North Korea, the expeditionary force encountered countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, and before they could see the shadow of the enemy, they suffered a lot of losses. For this kind of rule outside the radius of domination, there is a certain cultural country, directly invaded, divided into counties, it is simply unrealistic, waiting for the dynasty, just endless rebellions and gains and losses, historically, the Han and Tang dynasties have planted on the peninsula.

It is not bad to maintain this kind of politically subordinate and economically colonial relationship for the time being.

As long as the Kei clan agreed to those four articles, Korea's diplomatic, economic, military, and legal affairs were basically infiltrated by the Qin Dynasty, and after convenient transportation, it was only a matter of time before it lost its independence and was annexed and annexed.

Vassal? It seems more appropriate to say that it is a protective collar.

However, not only did the North Korean side agree, but Qin Shi Huang's side also had to write to persuade him.

"North Korea is just a pilot of this diplomatic model."

Hefu has some pity: "And the only pilot ......"

Because looking beyond Kyushu, in addition to the city-states of the Western Regions, only the Kei Joseon, as a descendant of the Yin Shang, has cities, writing (oracle bone inscriptions), and etiquette, which meets these three standards and can be called a "sub-civilization".

"From now on, whether it exists or disappears, North Korea must understand one thing."

Hefu wrote the last stroke of the letter, and said with a smile:

"You, but the son of a Chinese concubine, no matter how far you run, no matter what your face becomes, but your father will always be your father!"

……

The 5,000-strong army was stationed at Liekou, like a sharp sword, against the throat, and the DPRK could not delay.

Soon, only two days later, North Korea gave a reply to the "Black Four Articles" drafted by Heifu.

"The Kei clan are willing to accept this condition in its entirety, and their only request is."

Xu Fu still acted as a translator, and after listening to Ji Zhun's words, he smacked, looked at Heifu, and then at Fusu, and said with a smile:

"North Korea, please marry Daqin! Marrying a princess to a prince of Qin, the two countries will always be good! ”
