What are you fighting, the gates of Pyongyang are all open, and your forbidden army has run away!

Come and talk, fellow!

There is no way out of armed confrontation, and a political solution is in the interests of the two peoples.

If you don't come to talk about it, we won't be able to get over it!

For the peace talks, Duke Wei was full of sincerity, and specially ordered one of his closest comrades-in-arms in North Korea, Park Zhengtai, to secretly send an envoy to Pyongyang to convey enough sincerity from Daming and his father-in-law to Yin Chung Inhong of Pyongan Province.

The father-in-law made it clear that the entry of the angelic soldiers into the DPRK this time was by no means an infringement on the interests of the vassal people, nor was it a barbaric demand for war compensation, let alone an invasion of the DPRK's land, but a simple inspection on behalf of the heavens to consolidate the friendship between China and the DPRK.

Therefore, if the DPRK side still repeatedly treats the Great Tomorrow Envoy as nothing and hurts the feelings of the Ming Dynasty, then the Great Tomorrow Envoy is bound to denounce the DPRK's actions in order to safeguard the reputation of the Celestial Empire.

This is forced and helpless.

"This Pyongyang, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack, if we can't take Pyongyang, there will be no threat, and we can't call the official in charge to talk to us... Hmm, what else does Park Jun think can get Zheng Renhong to take the initiative to talk to us? ”

Gonggong Wei is still a bit forced, he knows very well that with the current strength at hand, he can't take Pyongyang at all, and this Pyongyang can't be taken at all. It must be known that Pyongyang is to North Korea what Nanjing is to Daming, and its political significance is very great, so he can't mess around.

However, the father-in-law had to compromise in Seoul, and his old man was like an arrow and couldn't afford to delay.

At the suggestion of Park Jong-tae, his father-in-law immediately pointed out to Pyongyang the internal affairs of the DPRK.

This internal issue is the question of the Maharaja of Yongchang and the legitimacy of the succession of the Maharaja Gwanghae of Seoul.

"Da Ming Gu has recognized Gwanghaejun as the king of Joseon, but Da Ming never wants fratricidal things to happen, Da Ming has always ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety, father and mother, brother and brother, so that the country can be prosperous, and the people can be stable... If it is not like this in my kingdom, it should be so with your kingdom, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be angry. ”

The letter, which only had a few sentences, was secretly delivered to Yoon Chung In-hong of Pyongan Province, and then quickly delivered to Seoul.

According to later records of the wild history, Gwanghae-kun suddenly received a express delivery from Heian Road in the middle of the night one day, and then he smashed things in the dormitory, saying nonsense about my country's affairs related to your.

After dawn, Gwanghae-kun returned to normal, wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Pyongyang as soon as possible. In addition, there were a few horsemen who went straight to Ganghwa Island, and within two days, the king of Yongchang fell ill and died.

The Lord of Yongchang will not die sooner or later, this will die, there are many mysteries, and there is no shortage of speculation inside and outside Seoul. But these things had nothing to do with Grandpa Wei, and under his leadership, the situation soon began to turn in a peaceful direction.

..........

In the year of Jiayin, when Wei Gong, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, led the emperor's army to inspect the northern region of the vassal Korea, he was attacked by the forbidden army of the North Korean side of Ping'an Province, and Wei Gong was forced to command the Ming Emperor's army to fight back on the front line of Jingcheng, Hongyuan and Xianxing.

In addition to the more than 2,000 people in the Ming Emperor's army, some of the Korean friendly troops who insisted on maintaining the friendship between China and North Korea and insisted on maintaining the father-son relationship between China and North Korea also cooperated with the Ming Emperor's personal army to defend against the enemy, inflicting great casualties on the forbidden army of Ping'an Province...

It is known as the "Northern Rebellion".

By mid-July, the important town of Hongwon in Pyongan Province was overcome, and the forbidden army general Yoo Hee-fin led his troops to flee to Pyongyang. In order to quickly resolve the incident, Wei Gong, in his capacity as the personal envoy of the Ming Dynasty, put forward the "Emergency Handling Plan for Ping'an", hoping that the North Korean side could take the initiative to stop fighting.

Faced with the fact that the important town of Hongwon was conquered, the Ming army was approaching Pyongyang, and Pyongyang might fall, Seoul Gwanghaejun secretly ordered Yoon Chung In-hong, a Pyongan Province stationed in Pyongyang, to negotiate with the Ming side to seek a way of peace.

Gwanghae-kun said sternly that he wanted the Ping'an Dao side to solve it immediately at all costs.

Ping'an Dao Yin Zheng Renhong had no choice but to appoint an observer to make Li Yun go north to Hongyuan to negotiate with the Ming army.

Gwanghae-jun instructed Zheng Renhong that except for the matter of Yongchang Dajun, the rest of the conditions could be handled at his discretion.

Before Li Yun officially went north, he reached a preliminary agreement with Huang, the angel representative of the Ming Dynasty in Pyongyang, and then presented Yoon Cheng In-hong. Zheng Inhong did not say a word after seeing this, and only sent someone to send this agreement to Seoul. However, this sealed agreement was sent back by the Seoul Express the next day, and Gwanghae-jun did not open it.

Zheng Renhong pondered for a long time with this unopened association, and finally sent Li Yun and Liu Xifen, the general of the forbidden army, to Hongyuan to formally ask the angels of the Ming Dynasty for an armistice negotiation.

Before Li Yun and Liu Xifen left, Zheng Renhong gave a message: "Do your best." ”

After Li Yun and Liu Xifen, who did their best, arrived in Hongyuan, they were highly valued by the Ming side and treated them ceremoniously. The representative of the Ming side, the former Zhongcheng County Shou Park Zhengtai, visited late at night, and gave Li Yun 5,000 taels of carriage and horses in his private name, and gave General Liu as much as 10,000 taels of hard work...

The next day, the two sides began negotiations, and after Li Yun and Yoo Hee-hee fought the basis of reason, they finally signed the "Hongwon Armistice Agreement" on behalf of Korea

There are five articles in the agreement:

1. The DPRK troops immediately withdrew from Yongbyon, Uiju and other places, with the line of Anju, Hongwon, and Iwon as the armistice line between China and the DPRK. After that, the Korean army was not allowed to cross this line to the north, let alone carry out any attacks and attacks on the Ming army and the Korean officers and soldiers under its jurisdiction.

2. The Ming Imperial Army immediately returned Hongwon, Hamhung and other counties to Korea, and released the captured officers and soldiers.

3. The DPRK actually compensated the Ming Dynasty with 430,000 taels of silver for the losses of the Ming Dynasty in the "Imjin War", and supplemented it with ten years of taxes from Yongbyon, Uiju and other counties.

4. In order to ascertain the implementation of the first paragraph, the Ming army shall at any time send personnel or other methods to inspect the situation, and the Korean side shall protect it and provide it with all kinds of convenience.

5. The security and maintenance of the area north of the armistice line and the former Gyeongseong Metropolitan Protectorate shall be determined by the Korean government and people in the area and supervised by the Ming Dynasty.

6. The DPRK side shall not hold the DPRK officials north of the armistice zone accountable for any crimes, and shall recognize the appointment of these officials. The Ming side recognized these local officials at the same time.

7. This Agreement is a confidential agreement and the Parties shall not submit it to the Government or Cabinet of the Cabinet of the other Party.

8. In the future, the two sides shall not use force to resolve any conflicts or contradictions that are difficult to resolve, but must resolve them through dialogue between the "Northern Association for the Peaceful Security of the People's Republic of China."

Overall, the armistice agreement achieved the original goal set by the father-in-law, and although the compensation was still too small, the father-in-law could not be too demanding considering the actual national strength of the DPRK.

"The Hongwon Armistice Agreement actually recognized the five counties and 13 counties of Gyeongseong Metropolitan Protectorate and the northern Pyongan Province of Yongbyon and Uiju as demonstration areas for Sino-Korean friendship, which provided convenience for the Ming army to further control the northern part of Korea, and the loss of Korean sovereignty to a certain extent, laying the seeds for the future destruction of the country." —Excerpt from "General History of the World"

After the armistice agreement was signed, Gonggong Wei once again hosted a banquet for North Korean negotiators Li Yun and Liu Xifen, accompanied by Park Zhengtai, chairman of the "Northern Association for the Peace."

During the banquet, Father-in-law Wei, who was a little more drunk, asked Liu Xifen why he abandoned the south of the city that day.

Hitting people does not slap people in the face, scolding people does not expose shortcomings, the father-in-law's move made Liu Xifen very embarrassed, and after a few squeaks, Fang said: "The art of war is cloudy, the land is lost, and the land is lost; If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

Not?

Gonggong Wei was deeply surprised by this reply, and silently half sounded, raising a glass to speak: "Gentlemen, for the deep affection of the father and son of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, please drink this cup!" ”
