There is no doubt that Yoo Sung-ryong was the biggest contributor to the North Korean side in the Battle of Imjin, which even the Ming government will not deny.

After the war, Liu Chenglong was entrusted with a heavy task by Li Hao, not only to rely on Liu Chenglong's ability to do things, but also to tie Liu Chenglong to his side and prevent him from coming into contact with Guanghaijun, so as not to damage Li Hao's own power.

Li Hao's plan was very good, Liu Chenglong encouraged the existence of the North Korean government on the scorched earth after the war, gradually erased the pain of the war, rebuilt his homeland on the scorched earth of the war, and used his prestige to recruit rebels and reorganize them into the Korean government army to make up for the loss of the regular army in North Korea after the war.

It is a bit ironic that the combat effectiveness of the Korean rebel army was far superior to that of the regular army, and for a long time after the war, the Korean government army was formed on the basis of this rebel army, and the war of the Japanese helped the Korean government save the cost of military training.

However, North Korea is small and weak, the economic foundation is weak, and there is no strong resistance as the Ming Dynasty, so the economic collapse is certain, Liu Chenglong racked his brains to renew the financial life of the collapse of North Korea, and asked for a piece of the pie from the war indemnity demanded by the Ming Dynasty against Japan through a little personal relationship.

Every year, 100,000 taels of Japanese compensation silver will be sent to the Korean government through the Ming army stationed in Japan, and handed over at the port of Busan, and Wu Weizhong, the chief soldier of the Ming army stationed in Japan, is responsible for managing this matter.

The royal family asked for money, the two classes with heavy losses asked for money, and they asked for money everywhere, and the 100,000 taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket.

Rao is like this, Liu Chenglong still successfully renewed the life of the North Korean government.

In the past six years, North Korea's national strength has slowly recovered, and the people have gradually settled down, licking their wounds and rebuilding their homes, looking forward to a better tomorrow under the protection of the wings of the Ming Dynasty.

And at this juncture, drastic changes occurred in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty ceased to exist, and was replaced by the Great Qin established by Xiao Ruxun, the main general of the Eastern Expedition of the Dynasty.

Da Ming is gone.

Great Qin was established.

Xiao Ruxun demanded that Joseon convert to the Great Qin and pay tribute.

Although he didn't say anything else in a heavy tone, if it was just a faint request, it would be more determined.

It's the same as Da Ming has always been.

The moral aspect is really unavoidable.

So Li Hao could only ask Liu Chenglong for advice.

Liu Chenglong was also surprised when he learned that there was a drastic change in Daming, but he believed that Daming would soon restore peace, and he also planned to send troops to Daming's favor, so as to get more aid.

Xiao Ruxun, the Ming general who sincerely cooperated with him at the beginning to completely annihilate the Japanese Emperor, the terrible general who had never lost a battle, and the strong general who was strong and could not question his decision.

Now this man became the emperor.

There is no doubt that the best option for North Korea is definitely to immediately bow down to Great Qin, get the protection of Great Qin, and maybe get a little more assistance from it, if North Korea and Great Qin do it against each other......

Not to mention aid, it is estimated that the next time it will be Daqin's army will come.

Although the current North Korea is not the weakest moment, it is almost the same, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the Qin army, not to mention Xiao Ruxun, who has a very clear insight into the geography and climate of North Korea, this is a hopeless battle.

Now Xiao Ruxun is still willing to include North Korea in the scope of protection, if North Korea does not know what to do, it is estimated that Xiao Ruxun will directly include North Korea in the scope of rule and set up a province!

Liu Chenglong almost immediately gave the best advice - immediately to the Great Qin to pay tribute, offer congratulatory gifts, and organize a team of envoys to Beijing as soon as possible to congratulate the Great Qin Emperor, and set the names of the monarchs and ministers, so that the Great Qin has the obligation to protect North Korea, and North Korea can continue to exist.

Of course, Li Hao also knew the necessity of doing this in his heart, and he decided to do it within a day of getting the news, but now the controversy in the imperial court is too big, and he is really not sure that he will forcibly pass this resolution, and if no one is waving the flag for him, he can't do anything.

Liu Chenglong immediately understood Li Hao's purpose.

Let Liu Chenglong be his scapegoat and cheer for him, and then Li Hao will pretend to be reluctant to declare himself to Daqin to preserve the dignity of the Korean royal family.

Liu Chenglong sighed deeply.

Chilling?

It's nothing, as a politician, this is the basic skill, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the king wants the minister to do these things, the minister must do such a thing, this is a common thing, there is nothing to worry about.

It's just that he paid so much for North Korea, worked hard to win that war, almost gave up his life, and after the war, he worked hard to encourage the maintenance of the government under the general situation of continuous party strife, and Yoo Chenglong asked himself if he had anything to be sorry for the North Korean government.

"The king wants the minister to do this, and the minister will naturally do it, but after the matter is completed, please ask the king to allow the minister to return to his hometown, minister, tired."

Li Hao's first reaction was unwilling.

So how can a handy and capable official give up like this? If Liu Chenglong is gone, who should be the leader of national government affairs?

The second reaction is that it's not a big deal.

Liu Chenglong is capable, but this matter will inevitably become the target of public criticism, if he continues to appoint him, then it will inevitably affect the North Korean royal family, the North Korean royal family must maintain a relatively neutral attitude in this matter, the person who wavs the flag and shouts is Liu Chenglong, not the North Korean royal family, not Li Hao.

Without Liu Chenglong, there are so many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, there is always someone who can replace him.

Li Hao sighed and said in a low voice: "What Mr. Liu paid for North Korea, this king will not forget, and this king will let you return to your hometown." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chenglong's heart sank to the bottom.

"Minister, obey the king's orders."

Yoo Chenglong answered the task and fulfilled it very successfully, and he wrote a letter calling out the importance of proclaiming the importance of the Great Qin, and sternly refuting those who did not know what to say, believing that it was sending Korea to the brink of war.

Liu Chenglong himself belongs to the forces of the Nanren Party, and under the premise that the party struggle has turned into a battle of will, this of course makes other court friends feel very annoyed, and they are also jealous of Liu Chenglong's merits and prestige, so they have gathered fire on Liu Chenglong.

Liu Chenglong was scolded bloody.

Li Hao finally dismissed Liu Chenglong from his position and dismissed him, but by the way, he passed a resolution to declare himself a vassal to Daqin, at this time, it seemed that the ministers didn't care, as if their original purpose was to bring down Liu Chenglong.

It's embarrassing.

However, this did not surprise Li Hao, who successfully passed this political crisis and sent a congratulatory watch to Daqin, showing his determination to be a minister, and expressing his willingness to pay homage to the Great Qin Emperor and send tribute.

The news was quickly transmitted to Beijing, and at this time, Xiao Ruxun didn't have the heart to pay attention to North Korea, his energy was focused on setting up a banquet to entertain the generals in the northwest and the two civil officials in the northwest.
