Chen Xiong's purpose is to fight Kobe, and as long as the emperor surrenders, then there is no need to fight again.

"No, you don't! Let the Goryeo Army rest well! In this way, let the Tiger Wolf Army follow the Dongying Group Army, and if there is a Japanese Kou in a village to harass the Han army, they will slaughter the young and strong people in a village. Let Chen Chang not be in a hurry, and consume the forces of the Japanese on the front line of Kobe and Kyoto. ”

The Japanese were young and strong at most two million, but now more than one million have been killed in battle. If hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers are destroyed, then Dongying will not be able to recover for at least a hundred years.

It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to govern the world! If you dominate the periphery, no amount of pomp and arrogance will slowly skyrocket, and if there is no external pressure, then sooner or later the internal will explode. The empire also needs to keep some enemies, otherwise the empire will begin to decline again in a hundred years. And the West is rising, and the empire cannot sleep again!

"Honorable Order." Chen Zhong nodded, and immediately left to give the order.

As soon as Chen Zhonggang left, Fei Song also said: "My lord, the king of Lelang and Goryeo has sent letters, hoping to return to Seoul as soon as possible. ”

"Well, they can go back, but they must first declare the return of Lelang County, and also pay the military expenses of the empire to help recover Seoul, Pusan and other places, so that they can sign an installment contract."

The Yanhuang Empire is not a Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to pay for the Goryeo people in vain, if they don't agree, then the Goryeo people are not short of people to agree.

"Honorable Order!" Fat Song nodded with a wry smile and left the order.

finally arrived at Lu Shuai to speak, and he was also suffocated in the past few days.

"Lord, Yi Wu has recruited enough 20,000 soldiers, shouldn't we go to Beihai Island?"

The Three Kingdoms Island was recovered peacefully, and the most depressed person was probably Lu Shuai.

Chen Xiong smiled and nodded: "That's good, the Japanese people on Beihai Island are more barbaric, but there are fewer people, and this time the deity will not go." ”

"The Lord is relieved, and the final general will successfully complete the task." Knowing that the lord was not at ease with his temperament, Lu Shuai immediately assured.

……

The eagle sent the message, station after stop, and it reached Pyongyang in two hours. Lelang County also belonged to the Northern Governor's Mansion, and Lu Zhenfei became the first county guard. At the same time, he also took the place of the empire and was in charge of negotiations on the Goryeo side.

"Huh! Someone came and asked the king of Goryeo and all the generals to come! "It's still early, and after the conversation, we can have a dinner by the way.

The Goryeo soldiers and a large number of Goryeo people are still in the north of the Yalu River, and the elite of generals and ministers such as the King of Goryeo have just arrived in Pyongyang City with Lu Zhenfei.

Finally, when the message of the county guard arrived, the king of Goryeo also hurried to the county guard's mansion.

When he passed by the old palace, he was also full of emotion! The palace is still the same, but the owner has changed.

As soon as everyone arrived, Lu Zhenfei also spoke: "King of Goryeo, the emperor has allowed the Goryeo court to return to Seoul, but it is necessary to announce the whole Goryeo first, and also pay for the war costs of recovering Seoul, Pusan and other cities. ”

The king of Goryeo was happy and then worried: "The king of the county will make an announcement tomorrow!" But now the Goryeo Treasury Silver is empty! I don't know how much the military cost is for the restoration of the country. ”

"The emperor is merciful, and it is also according to the real price! This battle of Goryeo cost a total of 70 million taels! Most of them are the battle of Seoul, the shells spent! Solid, the Goryeo side can pay 30 million taels! "No more, no less, Lu Zhenfei feels that the emperor is benevolent enough!

Thirty million taels, the king of Goryeo immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "The county guard has worked hard to tell the emperor that Goryeo has no silver left now!" Can there be less! ”

In fact, the king of Goryeo didn't want to give a cent, after all, they had ceded half of the land!

Lu Zhen smiled and nodded: "The emperor knows that Goryeo has no silver now, so he allows Goryeo to deliver it in three years, but the interest for more than one year is one million taels, and for more than two years, it is two million taels, and if it is delivered within this year, it will not be counted as interest." ”

"This!" The King of Goryeo was also very embarrassed! After the shrinkage, the tax silver of Goryeo was only a few million taels, but fortunately, the wealthy areas in the south were retained, otherwise the tax silver would only be less.

"Lu Junshou! The Goryeo Kingdom simply can't deliver so many silver taels in three years, after all, the dilapidated Goryeo Kingdom is not as good as before! Prime Minister Zuo also immediately said bitterly.

Lu Zhenfei still shook his head: "Prime Minister Zuo, the empire's military expenses cannot be spent in vain, if you really can't help it, the empire will also summon the rich families of the Goryeo family~"

"Good! The king agreed! Within three years, Goryeo will accompany and pay off three thousand taels! "The king of Goryeo doesn't dare to bargain now! The meaning of the empire is already obvious, if they can't afford to pay the silver taels, then the empire will hand over Seoul and the puppet army to those who can pay the silver taels.

The king of Goryeo still has more than 10 million taels, and the Li royal family has some alone, which is barely enough.

"Haha good! The King of Goryeo is refreshed! "It was so smooth, Lu Zhenfei didn't expect it.

The kingdom of Goryeo must be handed back to the king of Goryeo, after all, who made him the father-in-law of the emperor! If Goryeo really can't give the silver taels, I'm afraid the emperor will have to help deliver it! In the end, it was the emperor who paid for it himself.

On the second day, the king of Goryeo also summoned his ministers and members of the Wang clan in Pyongyang.

It's about the inheritance of Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo doesn't talk nonsense. "Ladies and gentlemen, the empire is already willing to return Seoul~"

Before the king of Goryeo could finish speaking, someone burst out laughing.

"Good! That's great! Finally able to go back! A Li clan elder also laughed.

After everyone was happy, the king of Goryeo also smiled bitterly and said: "The Han army of your empire has also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to recover the cities of Seoul Axe Mountain, and the Goryeo Kingdom must pay 30 million taels of compensation within three years to pay military expenses. But the treasury is empty, and the king can only come up with eight million taels! ”

In fact, this is only half of the silver surplus of the king of Goryeo, but if you take over the ruined Seoul, the next place where the silver will be used will be like a bottomless pit.

The king of Goryeo is planning to let everyone cut their flesh and let these people who only enter but not get out donate blood, which is simply impossible!

The crowd immediately fell silent, and no one wanted to say a word more!

Seeing that everyone was so selfish, the king of Goryeo was also angry.

"This king will not force you! However, if you are unwilling to help the Goryeo Kingdom tide over the difficulties, then all the dukes and titles will be abolished, and even the Li clan will be civilians in the future! ”

That's not reluctant! A clan elder was also panicked! If it is a civilian, the land tax and commercial tax will be increased a lot! Once the court does not support them, then they will soon be retaliated against by the enemy!

"Your Majesty, the old man is willing to go bankrupt and pay 500,000 taels!"

The king of Goryeo still shook his head: "Your own king will give out eight million taels privately, and the Li clan will give a total of ten million taels." The middle and high-ranking generals will pay 5 million taels, and the remaining 12 million taels will be replaced by the future imperial court taxes. ”

"Honorable Order!" In order to keep their position, everyone also had to bleed profusely.

The king of Goryeo moved quickly, and the next afternoon, he handed over 10 million taels to the county guard.

"Lu Junshou, tired of ordering the military and civilians of the Green River to cross the border!".

Lu Zhenfei, who was originally happy, couldn't laugh, knowing that Goryeo was going to deliver 30 million taels, Emperor Li would not show his hands and watch.

"The ten million taels of the King of Goryeo have been put into storage, now you are ready to carry it back!" The silver that had just arrived slipped away, and Lu Zhenfei was also very reluctant.
