Finally solving a problem, Park Jinhui breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then how long does Lord Wang want to lease Jeju Island?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Let's rent it for a hundred years." ”

Wang Yue's lion's big mouth has made Park Jinhui gradually adapt, if Wang Yue's price is low, he will doubt the authenticity.

Jeju Island covers an area of more than 1,800 square kilometers, equivalent to a county in Daming, between the U Kingdom and Korea, west of the Yellow Sea, for a period of time in history belonged to China, for example, in the Yuan Dynasty, the highest governor of the island has always been Chinese, so there are many Han people on the island.

The island's status in North Korea is equivalent to that of Hainan Island in the Ming Dynasty, and because it is located at the southernmost point of North Korea, it is a political penal colony.

Wang Yue took a fancy to the location of this island, from which the Tiance army could influence both Korea and Japan at the same time, and could also control the Korean Strait.

"Lord Wang, the ministers can't decide this matter, and it must be agreed by our king." Park Jinhui was embarrassed and said, if he rented it for ten years or eight years, he would dare to nod, this is a hundred years.

Wang Yue spread his hands and said: "Then there is no way, the matter of sending troops has to be stopped." ”

Park Jinhui was anxious when he heard it, and he almost kicked the door, but things turned yellow, so how can he do it?

Islands like Jeju are not particularly important in this era. Jeju Island is located between Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, and if it is garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty, it can also block the Japanese State from prying eyes on Korea. Wang Yue is leased, and it has also become an enclave for the Ming Dynasty, and from the perspective of the people of this era, it is difficult to become the land of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it is too far away.

"Lord Wang, if this is not the case, I will sign a document with you first, and then stamp the king's seal after seeing my king, what do you think?" Park Jinhui means to get a letter of intent first, which is a half-finished product.

Wang Yue nodded generously and said, "That's okay!" "Park Jinhui is here on behalf of the king of Joseon, such a thing is also semi-formalized, with this reason, Wang Yue has a way to make it a formal document, if the king of Joseon does not know each other, Wang Yue can also persuade and educate him.

When the terms of the North Korean side were negotiated, Park Jinhui was overjoyed, and Wang Yue's request for the imperial court to agree to build ports at Dagukou and Weihai in Tianjin, and to hoard supplies, was not excessive. The imperial court already knew about the Tiance army's first beheading and then the construction of the water division at the mouth of Dagu, and Weihai was close to Dengzhou, which was the closest to North Korea, and this reason was also said in the past.

The role of Weihai Port was certainly not a substitute for Dagukou, and Wang Yue's main purpose was to set up a window in Shandong to spread the influence and goods of the starting point city to Shandong, and take this opportunity to make a request to the imperial court.

These requirements need to be discussed by Xie Baoqing in the court, so the next step is for Wang Yue to sign the document with the North Korean envoy. This means that after Wang Yue rescues Korea and drives out the Qing army, these terms can take effect.

These are all private transactions between Wang Yue and North Korea, and they do not need to be approved by the imperial court, and the people in the imperial court will definitely not look down on those ravines and ravines. The statement of garrisoning troops on Jeju Island can be replaced by Wang Yue's family.

Xie Baoqing didn't understand what was the use of Wang Yue's request for those barren mountainous land, and what was the use of renting that island? Farming? It is said that the island is a volcanic island, and the mountainous area alone occupies more than half of the area.

After doing this, Park Jinhui, who had taken a big step forward from the success of the revolution, was very excited, and he said to Wang Yue: "Lord Wang, can this map of North Korea be sold to the ministers?" ”

The map was so detailed and accurate that Park still saw its value.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "This map has cost me a lot of manpower and material resources, since Lao Pu has taken a fancy to it, then I will reluctantly cut my love and sell it to you for 300,000 taels of silver." ”

This map was proofread by Wang Yue for more than ten days, and it was a big deal to print another copy.

Park Jinhui smashed his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I bought this map." ”

In this era, it takes at least ten years to draw such a detailed map, and the manpower and material resources are really more than 300,000 taels, and it is impossible to draw such an accurate map without the help of satellites.

A broken map earned 300,000 taels, so it was a great deal.

Wang Yue was willing to send troops, and the anxious Park Jinhui didn't want to delay for a moment, and pulled Xie Baoqing to report the news to Chongzhen as soon as possible, because this matter must also be recognized by the imperial court.

"Wang Yue agrees to send troops?" Chongzhen was surprised, "Is the Tiance Army capable of rescuing North Korea?" ”

According to what Wang Yue said, Xie Baoqing wrote this letter in detail, the number of Tiance troops on the expedition was about 5,000, the ordnance and materials were prepared, and the food was provided by the DPRK after arriving in Korea.

This solved the financial difficulties of the imperial court, and the food and salary of 5,000 troops could still be afforded by North Korea, after all, it was not a 100,000 army. This is also a helpless thing, according to the equipment of the Tiance army, fuel, bullets, shells, weapons, these things are not available to the imperial court, if you calculate money with the imperial court, the imperial court can go bankrupt.

Regarding Wang Yue's private dealings with North Korea, the reason is to subsidize military spending. The Tiance army did not agree with the imperial court to pay for the army's salary, which was equivalent to solving a big problem in the imperial court, and Chongzhen acquiesced.

It was this strength that made Chongzhen feel bottomless, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was an army of 120,000. It's okay to say that if you win, if you lose, it will be more than worth the loss.

Xie Baoqing said: "According to Wang Sihua, the Tiance army will win, please rest assured that the emperor." ”

The braggart Chongzhen already has some immunity, and Yuan Chonghuan's five years of Pingliao's rhetoric has not been heard.

Chongzhen said: "Then let the courtiers discuss it." ”

Above the court, the ministers heard that Wang Yue was going to fight in Korea, and a group of people led by Xue Guoguan were almost about to celebrate with their crowns, and they seemed to feel that Wang Yue was going farther and farther on the road of death.

So most of the courtiers agreed to send troops to Korea, and even the Hou Xian, the head of the household department, did not raise objections, anyway, it didn't cost the court any money, and the victory or defeat was not a matter of the household department.

"Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the Ministry of Peace, is the prime minister's military affairs for the aid of the DPRK." The second assistant Xue Guoguan went out of the class.

Yuan You and the others immediately chimed in: "The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Xue Guoguan's promotion of Chen Xinjia to lead the army is also in line with the consistent practice of the imperial court. For such a big move as aiding Korea, a major minister is usually sent by the Ministry of War to sit in charge, or a minister with the rank of military department in other positions.

Chen Xinjia himself is not happy, doesn't this let me take the blame? 5,000 people beat 120,000 slaves, what are you kidding, this is a fire pit, is it okay, whoever you love will go.

"The minister doesn't know enough about the Tiance Army, and he knows very little about the situation in North Korea, so he asked the emperor to choose another meritorious." Chen Xinjia went out of the class.

Xue Guoguan said: "Lord Chen doesn't have to be too humble, you are a person who knows the soldiers, why bother to be arrogant, this position belongs to you!" ”
