After listening to these four contracts, Xing Jue was both surprised and suspicious: "The territory occupied by your country accounts for about one-third of the whole of North Korea, and you have worked hard for six years, and you will give up when you say you will give up?" ”

"We didn't give up," Hidebo corrected, "According to Articles 2 and 3 of the treaty, we have obtained the right to trade in Korea and at the same time enjoy the right to administer the region, which is what our country dreams of. ”

"It's easy to say that the right to trade is easy to say, and if the old man puts pressure on North Korea, he will be able to succeed immediately, but as for the joint management rights for the past 20 years, I wonder if you can explain it carefully?"

"Very simply, the management of this area can be divided into two parts, that is, military and economic affairs, your country is rich in land and resources, I believe that you don't care about the income of this area, and our country is poor and remote, and it has cost a lot in the past six years, if you can be proud to cultivate and operate on this land, it will definitely be a charcoal in the snow, therefore, I hope that Lord Xing can hand over the management of agriculture and commerce in this place to you, and as for the garrison and the maintenance of law and order, your country is responsible for it, isn't this the best of both worlds, each taking what he needs?"

After listening to Xiubao's plan, Xing Jue smiled heartily: "I really deserve to be the general of the Japanese army in Korea, and the old man really admires it, but the land in this southern region is fertile, if it is all given to you, I'm afraid..."

"This is easy to say," Xiu Baole said hehehe: "Your country's garrison also needs food, it is completely understandable in the next, since this is the case, it is better to open seven or three, our army will send thirty percent of the grain to your army garrison on time every month, as for the income of merchants, we will talk about it in detail in the future according to the business situation, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, it's really a hero out of a young man," Xing Jue smiled like a flower, and praised again and again: "Then it's decided, in this way, it will not cost the state money, but it can also open up the territory, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to the court, but the old man still has something to ask for, I don't know..."

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiubao replied happily.

"Well, the 20-year condominium period feels like a bit longer, and it might be more appropriate to change it to 10 years." Xing Jue squeezed his eyebrows and said, in his opinion, twenty years is such a long time, the variables are really immeasurable, who knows what will happen in the future, it is better to shorten it as much as possible.

"I'm sorry, twenty years is already a big concession, if it is shorter, our army will definitely not be able to recover the cost, and this will also be of great benefit to your country." Xiubao bluntly rejected Xing Jue's request.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Excellency will not know, if there is no invasion of our army, North Korea will not ask your country for help, and your country will not have the opportunity to occupy this great river and mountain, therefore, our two sides are interdependent, the longer our army exists, the more stable your country's foundation in this region, twenty years, is exactly the time of a generation, and when the people in this area are all turned to the king, North Korea will naturally have nothing to do, and at that time, our army can just withdraw and return to China, and hand over all this place to the Ming Dynasty."

Listening to Xiubao's words, Xing Jue nodded again and praised: "Lord Ping is reasonable, since this is the case, then the old man will not say anything about the management right, but in the first half of the third article of the contract, the old man still wants to discuss it with the adult." ”

"Don't Lord Xing want to take all these territories away, and you want to keep some of them for us?" Xiubao joked.

"You're joking, I want to get rid of the 'occupied territory', I don't know what the adults think?"

"Lord Xing has such a big appetite!" Xiubao couldn't help but sigh: "As soon as these four words are removed, wouldn't it be that Jiangwon and Chungcheong, which our army did not occupy completely, will also be assigned to your country?" This wicked man really doesn't dare to be a villain! ”

"Don't say that, Lord Ping," Xing Jue didn't want to miss such an opportunity to annex North Korea, but he couldn't do it himself, so he had to beg Xiubao to act as a black face: "In exchange, I can try my best to meet any additional conditions you have." ”

"These four provinces of cultivated land are vast and economically developed, which is the lifeblood of North Korea, once your country controls this area, then North Korea will be no different from Daming Province, Lord Xing is really scheming." Xiu Bao stared at Xing Jue and sneered from time to time.

"I'm scheming, but you're also resourceful, let's say, how can your country be willing to agree?"

Xiubao pondered for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Since the adults trust each other, I can only agree, but there are two requirements, please consider it:

First, to restore the long-interrupted trade between tomorrow and China, and to allow our merchants to trade freely with your country in Ningbo and Quanzhou;

secondly, only merchant ships that had received orders could be accepted to participate in trade, and other merchant ships, even Japanese ships, had the right to refuse and drive them away;

Thirdly, the treaty is signed in secret form and must not be in the hands of your country or any third party outside you.

I don't know what the above requirements are? ”

Next, it was Xing Jue's turn to ponder, the main content of these three articles is to resume Kanhe trade, but as we all know, due to the repeated invasions of coastal pirates, the Ming Dynasty had to ban tomorrow's trade, which was the emperor's personal will, although he is currently in charge of North Korea, but this treaty that may disobey the emperor's will, he really dare not agree without permission, but Xing Jue does not want to give up the great opportunity to annex North Korea, and can't help but be in a dilemma.

"Looks like the adults are very unhappy." Xiu Bao said coldly.

"The old man really wants to promise you, but it was the emperor's personal decree that banned Kanhe trade, and as a minister, how can I overturn the will of the saint without authorization." Xing Jue scratched his ears and cheeks.

Hideho could see that he really couldn't be the master, and out of time constraints, he didn't want to make it too difficult, so he came up with another plan and said, "If it really doesn't work, there is another idea in the future..."

"Lord Ping, please say, the old man will do his best." Xing Jue couldn't wait to reply.

"Quite simply, the two of us can move the place of trade to North Korea, and won't this avoid disobedience to the emperor?"

"Well, that's a good idea, it's still a smart one."

"There are still two trade ports, one is Busan and the other is Incheon, but Incheon must be under the jurisdiction of our army." Xiubao's tone was calm but unchangeable.

"This can't be done, Incheon is the western gate of Seoul, and the Joseon royal court will definitely not agree." Xing Jue said nervously.

"It is precisely because it is the throat of Seoul that your country can use this as an excuse to coerce the Korean monarch and ministers to move the capital to Pyongyang and take the opportunity to include Gyeonggi Province." Xiubao pretended to be aggrieved and said: "If Lord Xing is unwilling, he will not be reluctant to do so, so it will be regarded as Xiubao's own affection." ”

"Wait!" Xing Jue suddenly realized, and hurriedly agreed: "It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, just according to what the adults said, Incheon will be assigned to the name of your army, this is all right?" ”

Xiubao nodded: "It's only like this, from now on, you and I will turn the war into a jade silk, wouldn't it be happy to stop fighting?" However, Li Hao still hopes that Lord Xing will take care of him. ”

"Where, in the future, I hope that Lord Ping will make this black face enough." After that, Xiubao and Xing Jue both tacitly laughed together.

On the day of the peace, the two signed a peace treaty in Zengping County, and the peace treaty was divided into two parts, which were called "Zengping Peace Treaty" and "Zengping Secret Treaty" in later generations, of which there were four articles in the "Zengping Peace Treaty", namely:

First, the coastal cities of Suncheon, Sacheon, and Busan, as well as the three islands of Jeju, Geoje, and Ulleung, which were firmly held by the Japanese army, were all assigned to Japan.

Second, Suncheon, Busan, Sacheon, Gangneung, and Incheon will be opened as trade ports, allowing goods from the two countries to flow freely.

Third, Japan agreed to return all of the four provinces of Chungcheong, Gangwon, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang to the Ming Dynasty, and as compensation, Japan and the Ming Dynasty shared the right to administer this place for a period of 20 years;

Fourthly, if the Ming Dynasty and Korea were to give and return the above-mentioned areas to Korea, the treaty would immediately become invalid, and Japan would have the right to send troops to Korea again until the entire territory of Korea was occupied.

As for the "Secret Treaty of Zengping", it is only known to Daming and Hideho, even Joseon and Hideyoshi, and the main content is as follows:

First, Japan regards the Ming Dynasty as its suzerainty and vows that it will never rebel for generations;

Second, to resume the long-interrupted trade between Tomorrow Kanga, and to allow merchants from the two countries to conduct free trade in Incheon, Busan, Naha (additional), and Shuri (additional);

Third, the ports west of Inchon were placed under Japanese jurisdiction, and the Ming army had the right to use the ports free of charge, but they had to negotiate with the Japanese side before using them;

Fourth, the above-mentioned Korean and Ryukyu ports can only accept merchant ships (i.e., "Blue Mark Ships") that have received orders from Heihideho to participate in trade, and all other merchant ships have the right to refuse to dock and drive them away.

Fourth, the treaty was signed in the form of a secret treaty and was not allowed to be in the hands of a third party other than the Ming Dynasty and Ping Xiubao.

After the peace treaty was signed, Xiubao returned to Busan, and Xing Yu brought the peace treaty back to Beijing and handed it over to the Wanli Emperor to decide. On the fourth day of the sixth month, Xing Jue returned to Seoul and informed Xiubao that the emperor was very satisfied with the content of the peace treaty, and in recognition of Xiubao, he decided to open the port of Ningbo and allow the Blue Seal ship to pay tribute for five years.

In addition, Xing Jue also wrote a secret letter to inform Xiubao that the imperial court had decided to set up the "Lintun Division" ("Lintun" was taken from the "Lintun County" in the "Four Counties of Han" set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to govern the Korean Peninsula, the specific location is now Gangwon Province), to manage the four counties in southern Korea.

However, this peace treaty was unanimously opposed by the Korean monarchs and ministers.
