On the afternoon of May 12, the tenth year of Chongzhen. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Setting off in the early morning, Li Liang, who had been speeding all the way, finally arrived at the mouth of the Han River, where the sea and the sky are the same, and the sky and the earth are warm and golden.

At this time, three long tables had been set up in an open field at the mouth of the sea, and behind each table, a large number of their own soldiers were guarding.

Subsequently, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, sat in his own position, Li Xiao, the left governor of the Ming Kingdom, and the Qing Emperor Taiji, also sat at a table, the order of the three tables is, as the mediator of the agreement, Li Xiao, the position of the table is in the middle, and Huang Taiji and Li Liang, as the two sides of the Qing Dynasty, are lined up on both sides.

Soon, some soldiers sent an armistice agreement written in Chinese and Manchurian small characters in bilingual, all of which were agreed on last time, in triplicate, and Li Xiao, Li Liang, and Huang Taiji as representatives of the three parties, officially signed their names to confirm the armistice agreement between the DPRK and Qing Dynasty.

After signing the name, the king of North Korea, Li Liang, had a bright smile on his face, and Li Xiao also had a faint smile on his face, only Huang Taiji's face was blue and black, and he looked quite regretful.

Huang Taiji looked at the table in the middle, the Ming Dynasty Zhengyi red military attache uniform, wearing a jade black gauze hat, an ivory rhino leather jade belt around his waist, and a lion with teeth and claws embroidered on the complement on his chest, handsome and high-spirited, the dashing Ming Dynasty Zuodu Governor Li Xiao, couldn't help but have mixed tastes in his heart, and he had any taste.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao, a lowly rural hunter, was promoted all the way to the position of the governor of Zhengyipin at the age of only twenty-five or sixteen years old by virtue of his military exploits.

It's just that this Han dog has been promoted all the way to the knighthood, but he has stepped on the good heads of many Manchurian sons to have such a prominent official, and Li Xiao, who entered this dog, is to cut it with a thousand knives, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!

And now, I am the emperor of the Qing Empire, and today, I am sitting with Li Xiao, a lowly Han dog, and I still have to let this person arrange an armistice agreement, which is simply a great shame!

Huang Taiji clearly heard that Azig, who was standing behind him, let out a cold snort.

He remembered again that before coming here to negotiate, Azig had proposed to him that he should take advantage of Li Xiao's landing to sign an agreement, lead his troops to surround him, and kill this fang in one fell swoop, so as to completely solve the future troubles for the Qing Dynasty and reconquer Korea.

After all, as this person's power grows stronger and stronger in the future, I am afraid that this person's harm to the Qing Dynasty will become more and more serious, Azig said worriedly, if Li Xiao grows to the point where no one can control it, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will have to live in the shadow of this person all the time.

It's just that Azig's plan to break the contract and raid, Huang Taiji still vetoed it after careful consideration.

If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign a contract to raid Li Xiao, it's actually easier said than done!

First of all, Li Xiao's more than 30 ships of the naval division were cruising on the sea not far from the shore, and the huge muzzles of countless black holes were coldly pointed here.

Secondly, behind Li Xiao, there are more than 600 elite heavy armored infantry like the white swing tooth soldiers in the Qing army, as well as hundreds of heavy armored cavalry with heavy armor and extremely strong appearance.

In the end, he was so close to Li Xiao that he really wanted to fight on the spot, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out quickly, if he was the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom who died here in the chaos, it would really be completely worth the loss.

Just as Huang Taiji was full of emotion when he saw Li Xiao, Li Xiao also felt a lot of emotion when he saw this Qing Dynasty emperor Huang Taiji.

The fat Huang Taiji in front of him with an ugly face is really an immortal hero with great vision and strategy, which in a sense can be said to be the real founder of the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with his father Khan and old slave who can only shout and kill, Huang Taiji has more ability to govern the country, and it is his subordinates that the rules and regulations of the Qing Dynasty have been fully perfected. This person's strategy is also far superior to his father's, especially good at attracting talents of all ethnic groups for his own use, such a kind of open-mindedness is really rare for the leader of an ethnic minority.

Speaking of which, the Qing army was able to enter the customs smoothly and finally be able to determine the world, although there was the decisive execution of the regent Dorgon, but the foundation for the Qing army to successfully dominate the world was still laid by Huang Taiji.

If he hadn't crossed into this world, Huang Taiji had completely conquered Korea two months ago, and the Korean king Li Liang would have already knelt at the feet of this person and begged him to surrender. Subsequently, Huang Taiji forced Joseon to sever relations with the Ming Dynasty and instead pay a vassal to the Qing Dynasty, and paid extremely heavy grain every year, making Korea a major contributor to the growing strength of the Qing Dynasty.

With his understanding of historical knowledge, he went straight to Ganghwa Island, defeated the Qing army and rescued the Korean royal family.

Otherwise, if he really wants to fight a life-and-death battle with the Qing army on the Korean mainland, with his own more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, without the help of superior firearms, to fight against Huang Taiji's nearly 100,000 troops, his own chances of victory are actually very small.

Now he can force Huang Taiji to sign an armistice agreement, or because he has a strong sailor to help, firmly occupy Ganghwa Island, control a group of Korean royal families, and grasp the foundation of Korean politics, which completely grasps the initiative in negotiations, forcing Huang Taiji, who has insufficient financial resources and tired veterans, not daring to continue to fight with himself, so he can only obediently sign and withdraw from the army at the negotiation table.

Speaking of which, it is indeed a bit of a fluke that I came to the aid of North Korea this time and finally achieved a result that satisfied me.

It's just that with the growing power of his own future and the complete change of the course of history, he still relies on his real strength to defeat Huang Taiji, an outstanding and cunning opponent, until one day, he completely realizes his ambitions。。。。。。

After signing the contract, Huang Taiji groaned for a while, and decided to use some provocative words to hit Li Xiao, who was smiling proudly.

He said coldly to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, if the Feier Naval Division suddenly attacked and occupied this Jianghua Island this time, how could you be the opponent of my army of nearly 100,000 troops. ”

Li Xiao glanced at him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Huang Taiji, this official tells you something, this official has always only looked at the result and not the process. Er's remarks are ridiculous. ”

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, and said with hatred: "Li Xiao, you don't have to be complacent, although I have to sign an armistice agreement with North Korea, but after I am fully prepared, I will definitely enter the customs again to avenge today's shame!"

Li Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a knife, he met the cold gaze thrown by Huang Taiji, and replied lightly: "This official has never liked to play lip service, if it is a man, he will see the real chapter on the battlefield." However, the official can also tell you that there is a way, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, if you cut down again, the official will be waiting for Gao Ming at any time. ”

Being pushed by Li Xiao's words, Huang Taiji couldn't say anything to reply for a while, he stared at Li Xiao's smiling face fiercely, then snorted coldly, and left with Azig and the guards.

However, before leaving, Huang Taiji still advised: "Li Xiao, that Abatai and the captured soldiers, you need to send me back as soon as possible, and you must not break your promise." ”

Behind him, Li Xiao's cold voice came: "Don't worry, since the official has promised, he will do it, and when he retires, the official will send them to the mouth of the Han River, and you will pick them up by yourself." ”

After Huang Taiji led the Qing army to leave, Li Liang, who had not interjected on the side, stood up from his seat and bowed to Li Xiao.

"Li Liang, the lord of a small country in a secluded state, knock to see Li Dudu, the upper kingdom of the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Xiao hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "No courtesy, please be even, the emperor." ”

Li Ju said gratefully: "If it weren't for Lord Li's timely dispatch of troops, my North Korea would probably have fallen into the clutches of the Qing people. ”

Li Xiao laughed and said: "The emperor has said it, North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been submissive. And the emperor has given our army Jeju Island, which can be regarded as a move to repay the peach, and the governor is very relieved, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be more harmonious. ”

Now seeing that the raw rice has matured rice, Li Liang hurriedly replied obediently: "The remote country is poor in financial resources, and it is difficult to repay the kindness of adults. It is really an honor for our country to be able to dedicate this island to the garrison of the Great Tomorrow Army. ”

Li Xiao laughed, and the two talked for a while, and Li Xiao invited Li Liang and his party to take the ship of the Ming Army Navy to Jianghua Island City to visit the royal family on Jianghua Island.

Li Liang readily agreed, and then the group boarded the ship with Li Xiao and left.

When they entered the island, a group of royal families saw King Li Liang coming, and everyone was surprised and delighted, and for a while, everyone greeted each other non-stop.

It's just that Li Wei sensitively found that the two women who had the closest relationship with him, namely the imperial concubine Zhao and Shuyi Zhao, treated him with a strange attitude.

The imperial concubine Zhao had a smile on her face on her face and greeted herself warmly, but Li Liang could see that her smiling face was obviously quite stiff and unnatural, as if she wanted to deliberately stay alienated from herself.

And the most favored Shuyi Zhao has almost no smile on his face, a silent look, just looking at his own eyes, full of deep meaning.

Because it was in a public occasion, Li Liang didn't think too much about it. Subsequently, he followed Li Xiao into the mansion, at this time, the mansion has been set up a feast, Li Xiao, Chen Zilong and a number of generals, and Li Liang and other Korean royal families, toasted each other, exchanged congratulatory speeches, and the banquet was very enjoyable.

It was night, and Li Qi was drunk.

Next, he went to rest at the Shuyi Zhao family, who was most favored by him.

Zhao, who fetched water for him and wiped his face, saw him drunk like this, but his face was full of disgust.

After the cleaning of Li Liang, a smile bloomed on his face full of drunkenness, and he muttered in his mouth, wanting to push Zhao down on the bed, but Zhao coldly pushed him away.

"Your Majesty, there is something that the concubines must report truthfully to the emperor."

Zhao's face was as cold as pig iron.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the Zhao family was suddenly so cold, Li Liang was a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, the thing that the concubine wants to play is the matter of the Imperial Concubine Zhao and the Ming General Li Xiao**!" Shuyi Zhao gritted her teeth and whispered to Li Liang word by word.

"Huh?! What did you say?! ”

Zhao's low words were like a deafening thunder ringing in Li Liang's ears.

Li Liang, who was lying on his side of the bed with his hands softly, sat up from the bed in shock, and most of the drunkenness on his face was gone, replaced by a look of shock.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have sent their cronies to follow them many times, and found that the Imperial Concubine Zhao and Li Xiao of the Ming Kingdom do have ulterior motives." A sneer flashed on Zhao's face, and then she told in a low voice about the imperial concubine Zhao, and Li Xiao, the left governor of the Ming Kingdom, how the two went from acquaintance to getting closer and closer, so that they hooked up and became adulterous, and they all told Li Liang one by one.

Li Liang's face was gloomy and ugly, so bad that it could almost drip water.

No wonder this imperial concubine Zhao saw King Gu today, but she always made herself feel that her smile was like a happy face.

"Your Majesty, this Imperial Concubine Zhao does not abide by the palace etiquette, does not obey the women's way, and colludes with the Ming general like this, it can be said that she has lost the face of my heavenly family! If the emperor doesn't severely punish this slut, I'm afraid that this slut will become more and more indulgent, and the scandal will be exposed, then my heavenly face will be gone! ”

Zhao's heart-wrenching words exploded in Li Liang's ears word by word, making him feel as if a sledgehammer was smashing in his brain.

Li Kun's face gradually became hideous.

That Li Xiao is a general of the Ming Kingdom, and he leans on the pillar for North Korea, and the lone king can't offend him. But the imperial concubine Zhao, Lone really didn't expect that Lone was just a snub to you for a while, you couldn't help being lonely, and you wanted to hook up with the Ming people, such a slut, if you don't get rid of it, I, Li Liang, what face do I have, to face the subjects of North Korea!

"Lonely, Lonely, go find this slut now, go and ask what happened!"

A surge of anger surged from Li Liang's heart, he scolded angrily with a trembling mouth, jumped off the bed, then got up and dressed, and walked outside.

From behind, Zhao watched King Li Liang leave with such anger on his face, and a smile appeared on his face, and his heart was even more happy.

Hmph, you, Ayahara Maharaja, didn't report this ugly matter to the emperor, but now Benyi has reported it to the emperor himself. Now that there is this ugly thing, and look at the imperial concubine Zhao, what kind of face does she have to stay in the position of this concubine. This slut, I'm afraid that I will not only lose the position of the concubine, but I am afraid that my life will not be saved.

The more Zhao thought about it, the happier he became, but he deliberately pretended to be concerned and worried, and called Li Liang from behind: "Your Majesty, this night is dark, it's not too late for you to go tomorrow, besides, if you ask her in person like this, then Imperial Concubine Zhao is not stupid, how can she easily admit it?" ”

was staggering away, and Li Liang, who had arrived outside the door, heard this and stood unconsciously.

However, after a moment's pause, he took a difficult step and walked out of the room.

Hmph, even if this slut doesn't admit it, Lone will definitely be able to find some clues from her words!

Li Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely and went straight to the room of the imperial concubine Zhao.

When Li Yu's figure completely disappeared outside the room, Shuyi Zhao's face suddenly bloomed with an extremely proud bright smile, and she almost laughed out loud.

The clouds are in the sky, the stars and the moon are lightless, and the sky and the earth are dark. Accompanied by several guards, the footsteps of Emperor Li Liang were intermittent in the dead of night in the empty palace, full of an unspeakable loneliness and hesitation.
