Chapter 239: Don't fight anymore
The group arrived at Li Liang's temporary residence in Namsan Hanseong, which was a small courtyard with only a few houses sitting around.
Li Liang and his wife, Wang Yue and the ministers entered the courtyard located in the east, and after the two sides were seated, Li Liang, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the surrounding ministers, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
It's not easy, after dozens of days of panic, I can finally take a breath.
I asked for help from Daming with the hope of just in case, but I didn't expect that the harvest would be so huge, and I actually invited a strong army like the Tiance Army. He saw today's battle clearly, if the Tiance army was several times more, it would be easy to enter Liaodong and destroy the Manchus. If there is no Manchu Qing, North Korea can sit back and relax, and continue to stay under the big tree of Daming to enjoy the shade.
After everyone sat down, their own maids stepped forward to serve tea, and Li Liang took two sips of the teacup and said: "Lord Wang, you have come to the aid of North Korea this time and rescued millions of people in North Korea. ”
Wang Yue waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, this is the responsibility of the mother country to North Korea." Seeing that North Korea was plundered by the Tartars and millions of lives were destroyed, the official couldn't bear it! ”
After the scene was finished, he changed his words and said: "However, our army has come to aid the DPRK this time, and the imperial court has not allocated military salaries and military expenses, and everything needed must be prepared by itself, so it is quite expensive, so I hope that the lord of the country can fulfill the promise of Park Jinhui's envoy to the official." ”
Li Liang smiled awkwardly, he already knew the conditions that Park Jinhui promised Wang Yue. This Lord Wang is indeed different from those humble gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty, who never speak openly and pay attention to face.
"Lone can promise Special Envoy Park's promise to Lord Wang." Li Qi grinned.
He also has a pain in his flesh, those ravines and ravines are nothing if they are given to Wang Yue, anyway, they are of no value, Wang Yue wants to be the local lord of North Korea, let him be.
However, the area of Jeju Island is not small, and it is really a question whether North Korea will be able to come back in a hundred years. However, with such a strong Tiance Army garrison on the island, North Korea has not been harassed by the Japanese for a hundred years, which is indeed a good selling point.
At this time, an old North Korean official in a red robe immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the other promises made by Special Envoy Park in Daming will not be judged by Weichen. However, Jeju Island is an inherent territory of our country, so how can it be leased to others for a long time? What's more, this matter is a precedent that has not been heard of since ancient times, please think twice! ”
He also speaks Chinese, the official language of North Korea, which is a necessary language for all officials. If he couldn't speak Chinese in Korea, he couldn't be an official, and he also spoke Chinese to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue looked at him coldly and said, "Who are you?" ”
The official said proudly: "This official courtesy Cao sentenced Jin Riguang." "The Book of Rites and Judgments is equivalent to the Book of Rites in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yue snorted and said: "This Lord Jin, do you know that the words of my Emperor Ming are Jinkou Yuyan, since the lord of the country has agreed, you don't have to say much, right?" ”
Jin Riguang stiffened his neck and said: "This official is the judge of the courtesy, and I advise the lord of the country to say my duty." North Korea's 3,000-mile rivers and mountains are regarded as one, and every inch of land must be fought for. ”
Wang Yue sneered: "What an inch of land must be fought for!" Then you go and fight with the Qing army, and the food and salary of the troops sent this time and the land in those mountainous areas will be used as the military expenses for this battle. Our army will immediately withdraw and let the Qing army surround you again, and I can still snatch Jeju Island from the Qing army, and then it will have nothing to do with North Korea. ”
It is very difficult to win benefits with good words, and as a small country, we must have the consciousness of a small country.
There was silence all around, and the Korean civil and military officials, including Li Liang and Concubine Xian, were all suppressed by Wang Yue's words. How do you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face, how can we live when you leave,
Is this still an official of the Ming Dynasty? What about the living Lei Feng? In their impression, the officials of the Ming Kingdom are all polite gentlemen, and their words are all zigzag, how can they think that this Lord Wang is so straightforward, no different from a businessman.
When everyone was silent, Concubine Xian, who had been silent, spoke, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "Since Special Envoy Park has promised Lord Wang, and the lord of the country has also made a decision, we in North Korea should no longer be untrustworthy, right?" ”
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she said softly in Li Liang's ear: "Your Highness, Lord Wang has traveled thousands of miles to help North Korea, and we can't make people's hearts cold." ”
Of course, Li Liang didn't want Wang Yue to retreat, as soon as Wang Yue left, the Qing army would inevitably make a comeback, and North Korea would definitely not be able to stop it. Concubine Xian's words also eased the atmosphere, and Li Liang said to Jin Riguang: "Jin Jushu, you step down, I have made up my mind, so don't fight anymore." ”
Isn't it just renting Jeju Island? If you know that the condition of this Lord Wang at the beginning was to let the DPRK attach the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to jump your feet.
Seeing Jin Riguang retreating to his original position in a huff, Wang Yue said to Li Liang with a brisk expression: "The lord of the country is so true to his words, this official must expel the Tartars for Korea and restore the mountains and rivers." ”
This Lord Wang is too practical, as soon as the benefits are in hand, he immediately turns into a smiling face, and his face changes so quickly.
Li Liangqiang said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Wang Gaoyi, if you can drive away all the Tartars in the land, you will be grateful!" ”
Wang Yue nodded and said, "However, our army has limited strength, and the main task is to fight against the Qing army." Therefore, the captured city still needs to be garrisoned by your North Korea, I don't know what arrangements the lord of the country will make? ”
This is a must, after all, it is a North Korean city. Li Liang asked Li Yongzhe, who was sentenced to the soldier below, "Lord Li, how many soldiers do we have available now?" ”
A white-bearded old man in a red robe stood up tremblingly and arched his hand towards Li Lian and said, "Your Highness, we still have less than 10,000 soldiers available to us. "Originally, North Korea was able to gather 100,000 horses, but as a result, there was not one out of ten killed by the Qing army.
Li Qi said gloomily: "Is there only this little bit of strength left?" In that case, let's leave it all to Lord Wang's command, I don't know what you think? ”
"No!" Jin Riguang, the judge of the ceremonial caucao, stood up again and said: "Although my DPRK is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, it is also an independent country, is it a little inappropriate to let the generals of other countries lead their own soldiers and horses?" As a judgment of Licao, Weichen believes that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Li Liang was displeased when he heard this: "Why did the golden judgment book say this, today's battle has proved that Lord Wang's Tiance army is extraordinary, and it is not a Tartar captive enemy." If there is no Lord Wang, our army will not be able to stop the attack of the Tartars at all, in this case, why not hand over these soldiers to Lord Wang for unified command and unified action, is there anything wrong with this? ”
