Chapter 278: Loyal Monarch Patriotic Gold Self-Order

According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, the name of the Tamna king who paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty in August of the first year of Longshuo was called Ru Li Duluo, and the word Confucian Li was derived from the Confucian king of Silla, that is, from the Tang Dynasty, the regime on Tamna Island established a direct vassal relationship with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.

In the five years of the previous dynasty, the Tamna Army Governor's Mansion was placed, and the coastal water post was established, from Tamna to the Yalu River, and Yangcun Meikou, where there were 30 places, and it is still called Jeju today.

In the first month of the tenth year, he set up the Tamluo State Recruitment Division in his place, and the border army of Tunzhen was 1,700 people. Later, it was changed to the Dalu Huachi Governor's Office, the Military and Civilian Pacification Department, etc., and was successively subordinate to Zhongshu Province, Liaoyang Province, Zhengdong Province and other institutions. Tamna officially became a direct jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the summer and April of the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty, "more than 100 Yuanliu thieves were in Tamna". Since then, the prisoners have been repatriated one after another. In May, the Yuanliu sinners were thirty-three in Tamna", and in August, "the Yuanliu sinners were forty in Tamna". In addition to ordinary sinners, there are still royal families who have been exiled here, and in the spring of the fourth year of Yanyou, the brother of Renzong, Brother Amu, the king of Wei, is exiled in Tamna.

In the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty set up a horse ranch here and set up officials to manage Tamna.

It wasn't until Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty that he was busy recovering the lost territory of the Central Plains for a while after carrying a three-foot sword to expel the Tatars and restore China with his body of cloth, so he ordered Li Chenggui to accept the surrender of the officials of the Yuan Dynasty on Tamluo Island.

I don't want Li Chenggui to take the opportunity to steal Tamna Island, which has been going on for more than 100 years.

In the pavilion, the DPRK envoy and right-hand speaker Kim Zidian looked at the record of the talks with Lin Wenbing, the representative of the peace talks with the South Central Army, and couldn't help but shake his head vigorously.

"It's clear that the paper is full of crooked reasoning, but I can't find the slightest place to refute."

Under the thread of the needle of the Zong family. The two sides began to make contact, and as soon as they made contact, the two sides began to talk about each other.

After knowing that the other party was not a formal soldier of the Ming Dynasty, Jin Zidian's psychology seemed to be a little more stable.

It seems that the purpose of this group of people is not to crusade against North Korea, which has betrayed the Qing Dynasty. But the group of guys made brazen demands that were even more unacceptable to North Korea.

"Supporting the restoration of Gwanghae-jun, we are willing to support North Korea to fight Hulu!"

"Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has never cut off tribute. It's just that in the past two years, because of the threat of Houjin, he succumbed to Hulu, and this point is still expected to be seen by Lord Shangbang, if Shangbang surrenders. The minister is willing to go to Beijing with the adults to detain the hardships of the state. ”

Lin Wenbing and Jin Zidian exchanged words with each other. They all poked each other in the weak spots.

One has told you that I will bring out your deposed king and be my puppet. The other is to sue the other party, I know that you are also a fake and shoddy Ming official army, and you really came to the emperor. Let's be a filial son in North Korea and cry again.

In a word. Gwanghae-kun can't be allowed to become a puppet of the Nanzhong Army.

I'm thinking about tomorrow's plan in my room. There are relatives who come to report, and guests from the Goto family and the clan family come to visit.

"Do you really think so. The Southern Central Army plans to support the Kwanghaejun Li Hui, the abolished man as the king of Joseon? ”

Jin ordered someone to serve tea and invite the guests to take a seat.

Gui Bo Xuanfang got straight to the point.

"I can't figure out why the Namjung Army should support Gwanghae-jun to regain the Joseon throne."

Kim was so sad that he almost cut off his beautiful beard.

"It's so easy! It's for the sake of the land under our feet! If it were me who could not obtain it from the current king of Joseon, then I would simply appoint a king of Joseon and let him return this land to me. ”

Zong Yizhen's words, just like what the Buddhists said, suddenly made Jin Zidian's mind clear. The whole idea is like a computer that has already crashed and suddenly gains a huge amount of hard disk space.

When he went to Jeju, in addition to giving him gold and silver goods, Li Liang also gave him a bottom line and authorization, "What the king promised that day was that as long as he could welcome Gwanghaejun back to Wangjing, so that this Ming official army would no longer mention the matter of calling Gwanghaejun to fight against Hulu, it would be a presumption of the terms that could be agreed." At present, the Nanzhong Army is just planning to want this lonely Tamna Island in the ocean, which has a lot of room for its hands to turn over the clouds and rain compared to the mission given to me by the king! ”

"The three of you came to Jin, but what do you have to tell Jin?"

Thinking of this, Jin Zidian immediately became lighter, Shi Shiran straightened his hair, stretched his body, and sat more comfortably. What we need to do now is how to bargain with Nanzhong, and how to seek some benefits for ourselves in the process of bargaining.

The three lobbyists of the Goto family and the Zong family glanced at each other, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts, "This damn Goryeo dog!" ”

"Commander Xu ordered us to inform your envoy that whether Guanghaijun is in power or not, this Tamna Island South Chinese Army must be recovered by the Ming Dynasty. The difference is only in which person has the right to sign the Korean state affairs. In addition, Nanzhong has always been self-reliant in maritime industry, and for Tamna, it can be regarded as a must-win. After taking it, of course, it will be used for trade with us and North Korea. For this reason, my clan and the Goto family have stationed more than 1,500 soldiers and horses on the island, and if the adults need it, we can levy at least twice as many farmers to come, anyway, there is grain in the south! ”

Zong Yizhen's words are mixed with a lot of information:

No matter what, the South Central Army will take Tamna Island, which is the bottom line that cannot be shaken. If anyone dares to cross this bottom line, then they will not hesitate to change the head of the country for North Korea.

Obviously, the Zong family and the Goto family are also ready to make a fortune in the future commercial exchanges and trade with Tamna Island as the core. For this reason, they requisitioned troops to the island, and these troops did not know that they were not cannon fodder and vanguard troops for the future conquest of North Korea?

In particular, the sentence that once necessary, at least twice as many peasants and soldiers could be requisitioned, and Jin Zidian, who had dealt with the Japanese people, was very clear that as long as there was food, the Japanese had people who were willing to fight.

"One thing I have to inform the councillor is that the South Chinese army has transported a large number of supplies from Hue. There were grain, rice, cloth, sugar, spirits, and other items, and I heard from several adults that when these materials arrived here, they did not plan to transport them back, and in short, they would be consumed in North Korea. Do you intend to turn these things that are not very valuable in Korea into military rations for the conquest of North Korea, or are they used for factions? ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang appropriately threw another bombshell.

"In the future, this Tamna Island, to the south, our two families will trade in Kyushu, Honshu, etc., and to the north? Naturally, it is North Korea and Liaodong. Who is going to do the exclusive trading of the good things of the Southern Chinese Army in such a huge and vast area, it is also a difficult problem! ”

In addition to being a right-wing politician and a two-class nobleman, Jin Zidian also has another identity. He was also the leader of a merchant group with the Jin family as the backbone. For the Goto family and the Zong family, the two nouveau riche today. In the past, he looked down on the bitter Fusang turtle from the bottom of his heart, but he was extremely envious and jealous, and he was possessive of wealth. He is no less than anyone else.

Now. North Korea was well cleaned by Jiannu. The people of the treasury were extremely poor, and if he had a stable and reliable source of goods at this time, then. His position in the court is bound to be more stable; Isn't it as simple as searching for things to plunder the wealth of the people?

After the war, the northern part of Korea has a large number of unowned lands, mountains and forests, which can become the wealth of the Kim family.

"This Goryeo originally belonged to the royal family. Taking the opportunity of Emperor Hongwu's Northern Expedition, Li Chenggui came to power by mutiny, and flattered him in front of Ming Taizu, so he won the position of knowing Korean state affairs. I am now close to the Qing Dynasty, if I get the help of the South Central Army, do you know that the Jin family will not become the master of North Korea in the future?! ”

The decision was made, and the loyal and patriotic Korean right-wing politician Kim Zidian Kim immediately changed to another face and spoke to Gui Bo Xuanfang, Zong Yizhen and others.

"Since the invasion of North Korea by the Hulu, the people's livelihood has withered, and the people are miserable, and it is precisely when we need to trade with the outside world to relieve the people's hardship. But I don't know what can get into the eyes of the Nanzhong military? And what is there in South Central that can be sold to North Korea? ”

Hearing this, the diplomatic monk of the Zong family, Gui Bo Xuanfang, immediately lifted his spirits, and he smelled the smell buried in the depths of Jin Zidian's words, "What are you going to sell to me, what can I sell to you." How much profit can I make from this trading activity? ”

The three parties immediately switched roles, from negotiators and lobbyists on opposing sides to win-win business partners. Cordial and frank negotiations were held on how to develop a commercial and trade circle centered on Tamna Island and radiating to Korea, Liaodong, and Kyushu.

After a night of silence, when Jin Zidian was awakened by the sunlight sown by the sun rising from the sea, he felt that the whole person was full of desire and greed, no, it was the spirit of the forbidden area and the strength to fight for it.

After breakfast, accompanied by the guards and servants, the group was about to leave the pavilion and go to the Jeju government office to conduct today's negotiations, but they were told by an officer of the Xuanwu Battalion of the Nanzhong Army who had arrived in a hurry that the day would be temporarily suspended for today, and that the envoy could arrange his own activities on the island.

"It's good! I'll take another trip to this island. The huge sea in the north, the mountains and rivers in the south, and the beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere will no longer be North Korean when we leave. The councilor, who was in a very good mood, had a haha with the servants and subordinates around him, and the group left Jeju City and came out of the city in a car.

From Seogwipo, a group of horses that had just been unloaded from the ship were heading towards the southern foot of Mt. Halla. The horses were much taller than the skeletons of the horses brought by the Mongols, and their wool shone in the rising sun, and in the shouts and whistles of the shepherds, it was evident that dozens of horses of the herd of stallions were rolling up the wind and thunder towards the foot of the mountain.

The puff is not guilty of his crimes. In the eyes of the Mongols at that time, the most important role of Tamna was as a pasture for the Yuan Dynasty. Tamna Island has a subtropical Pacific climate, with an average temperature above freezing in January, and the eastern part of the island is a large area of grassland suitable for grazing. The warm and humid climate and abundant aquatic plants make it one of the best pastures in Asia. Since ancient times, Tamna has been a place where good horses are produced, and the so-called "everywhere is a place". The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, who grew up on horseback, naturally took a fancy to this treasure land, which led to the establishment of a horse ranch. At present, the South China Army naturally wants to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors and turn this land of more than 400 miles into its own horse breeding base in Northeast Asia.

And at this moment, the dock is full of people. A large number of hedgehogs of the island's inhabitants gather here. Carrying heavy loads, he ran all the way from the trestle to the makeshift freight yard, exchanging his hard work and body for one bamboo skewer after another, and then receiving payment with the bamboo skewers.

Hundreds of women on the island lay on the ground and used tiny brooms to sweep up the grain and rice that the men had scattered on the road and put them in small cloth bags beside them. Several older women kept telling the little girls beside them, "Sweep carefully, sweep up a catty, and four taels of sixteen taels will be yours!" ”

On the freight yard that has been repeatedly crushed and hardened by the Nanzhong military stone grinder. More people are struggling to carry their huge sacks to the grain stacks. Put it neatly away. Twenty-four huge grain stacks, like twenty-four hills, pressed down on the subordinates and servants of the gold self-point.

"The Heavenly Empire, the Heavenly Empire! It seems that so much food supplies can be collected and mobilized in such a short period of time. The outside world is rumored that the Celestial Empire is plagued by famines. Soldiers are in trouble. Utter exaggeration. Natural disasters, my North Korea also happens every year! ”

However, these twenty-four stacks of grain. In the eyes of Jin Zidian, who has reached a tacit understanding with the clan and the Wudao family, and wants to get a piece of the pie in this trade circle with Tamna Island as the core, it is undoubtedly twenty gold and silver mountains.

"I'm afraid this grain will be enough for the whole of North Korea to eat for a while. If all this grain goes to me......" Lord Jin began to reverie infinitely the scene of gold and silver pouring into his treasury like the water of the Datong River.

The next day, the DPRK Right Parliamentarian Kim Jae-dian held peace talks with the Yugoslav Central Army in a happy, peaceful, cordial, and friendly atmosphere. Both sides already know the details of the other and have a clear attitude, and this kind of activity is just a passing scene.

After receiving the secret report sent by Jin Zidian on the fast ship of the South China Army, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, suddenly spit out a long breath, and finally let go of a big stone that had been pressed in his chest for a long time.

From the text of the recital, Jin Zidian not only lavishly laid out the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Tomorrow, the abundance of grain and grass, and the sharpness of the artillery that he saw during his trip to Tamna Island. It also clarified the blind support of the peasants on Tamna Island for the traitor Guanghai Jun Li Hui, and the purpose of the Ming generals to use Li Hui as a call to recover Korea.

In short, this time the negotiations with the Great Tomorrow soldiers were very difficult, and once the negotiations broke down, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, under the efforts of the loyal and patriotic Lord Kim Zidian, he bitterly discussed the interests and disadvantages with the Ming generals, showing the unswerving friendship of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, "North Korea has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as a parental state." The attitude of the generals of the Ming Dynasty has eased.

Regarding the North Korea's proposal to welcome back Gwanghaejun to return to Wangjing, the Ming generals and officials were also very reluctant before, but with the efforts of Lord Kim, the attitude of the officials and generals also began to loosen. But you have to exchange it for Tamna Island, otherwise you won't be able to account for it after returning to the court.

Li Liang has never had a good impression of the wild and backward land that hangs in the ocean, except for the production of some country horses to pull carts and plough the fields, only some citrus and the like. Tian Fu is even less pitiful. Since Da Ming is willing to take away this bone that has no oil and water, then take it!

What's more, Jin You's political affairs also mentioned in the report that although North Korea was forced to stoop to Hulu at the moment, the Ming Dynasty also understood this and allowed our monarchs and ministers to be in the camp. Concession to the DPRK to conduct trade activities with Tamna Island. to make up for the lack of domestic finance.

"Jin Aiqing! It's really a good job of being loyal to the country! "How can such a loyal and capable minister not be amazed by the Joseon King Yi Kuo to be able to do a good thing that might endanger his throne by only cutting off a useless piece of deserted land, and even by taking advantage of the opportunity to trade with the Ming army on the island?

In the reply to Jin Zidian, in addition to praising Jin Zidian's loyalty to the country and super ability, he quickly completed the land cutting with the Ming soldiers. At the same time, Li Liang was very vague and ordered him to quickly bring Guanghaijun back to Wangjing to be raised, "There is a storm on the way, please be careful, and never have an accident." ”

With Li Liang's carte blanche authority, how could Jin Zidian not take the opportunity to use this opportunity to seek some benefits for himself?

"A thousand pairs of armor equipped by the South Central Army!"

The young master of the sect family, Zongyi, ordered the strict armor wrapped in straw to pile up in the courtyard of the pavilion, and the nine-turn steel armor coated with a layer of tin glittered in the sun, which was very cute.

"This armor is sold to Kyushu and Liaodong, but the price is sky-high. Congratulations to the right councillor for making a fortune. ”

Gui Bo Xuanfang knocked on the nail and turned his feet to emphasize.

This armor was purchased by Jin Zidian from the Zong family, and who he wanted to sell it to, everyone knew very well in their hearts.

"Everybody gets rich!"

Bidding farewell to the Zong family, the Wudao family, Lin Wenbing and others who came to see them off, Jin Zidian took his members of the mission and respectfully put Guanghaijun, who could no longer cry, onto the ship.

In a corner on the dock, Li Peiting, Xu Huanshan, Li Huamei, and Li Huayu watched this scene coldly.

"Big worm, how's that? I said the other day that you can take this Tamna Island into your pocket without using a knife or gun! ”

The cities and passes on the island have turned the Bagua Banner of the Korean Kingdom into the Great Ming Sun and Moon Banner.

On the return trip, Li Hui, Guanghaijun, accidentally fell into the water, and died of exhaustion when the accompanying shipwrights and sailors struggled to salvage the ship. Jin Zidian had to help the coffin and return to Beijing to plead guilty to Li Liang.

Upon learning the news of his brother's unfortunate death, Li Wei wept and sent a message to drop out of the dynasty for three days to show his condolences.

However, a few years later, a member of the envoy to Tamna, after pouring too much soju at one time, uttered a wild remark, claiming that Rikwang Hae-kun had been tied up by order of the Right Leggy Kim and thrown into the sea and drowned.

Of course, drunken ravings are not enough to support.

However, the next day, the petty official was overturned because of the vegetable oil lamp at home, and the whole family went to serve Zhu Rongxingjun.

This matter is not on the table. (To be continued......)
