Chapter 49: The Ming Dynasty negotiates peace
After the Korean officers and troops won a complete victory at the border of Sakaju, the Korean officers and troops with only 9,000 soldiers held the mountain fortress of Sakaju.
At that time, the Korean officers and soldiers achieved unprecedented great feats without the help of the Ming army.
And how much blood and tears are hidden in this eternal feat, and how many stories are hidden in this history of blood and tears.
At this moment, Song Yingchang, the master of the Ming Dynasty, colluded with Shen Weijing and thought about making peace with the Japanese Kou.
And always thinking about driving Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) out of the Korean court, so General Li Rusong at this moment was instigated by Song Yingchang.
I went to Seonjo of Korea to ask for the command of the coalition army, but the clever General Kwon Li was ahead.
I had already prepared a letter to praise Li Rusong, so when Li Rusong questioned His Royal Highness Xuanzu, the letter was also delivered.
In the statement, there are very good words to praise General Li Rusong, which also makes it impossible to support the North Korean officers and soldiers.
General Li Rusong, who did not attack the capital Hanyang, was a little ashamed, and General Li Rusong, who was very ashamed at this moment, looked extremely embarrassed.
And just after General Kwon Li's statement was read, he temporarily saved the official position and life of Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) for the first time.
At this moment, Song Yingchang and Shen Weijing still did not give up the intention of framing and dismissing other officials against Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun).
So at this moment, after the North Korean official army won the victory in Xingzhou, Shen Weijing was under the command of Song Yingchang, the master of Jinglue.
When he came to Seonjo and offered to go alone in person, Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, went to talk to Konishi Yukicho again.
Although Master Jingluo is a civilian position, he is equivalent to the highest commander in the war zone, and he is a person who even Li Rusong has to obey orders.
So just after everything was ready, Shen Weijing was about to embark on a journey to find President Konishi for peace talks.
When passing by Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun)'s official residence, Shen Weijing asked Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) to kneel when he saw the Ming national flag.
But the stubborn Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) did not kneel and bow down just because the Ming officials and troops did not support Xingzhou.
This also aroused Shen Weijing's strong dissatisfaction, so Shen Weijing had no choice but to leave this place after seeing that there was no result.
Concentrate on going to Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, to have a secret meeting with Konishi Yukicho, but at this moment, there are two more North Koreans beside Yoo Sung-ryong (Zhao Kun) in the group.
These two North Koreans are Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun)'s personal men, and they can also collect the content and results of the negotiations for Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun).
At this moment, Shen Weijing didn't think much of these two people, so he took them directly on the road.
And after Shen Weijing and his entourage really arrived in Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, Governor Konishi finally ushered in Shen Weijing, the envoy to the peace talks.
On the night when Shen Weijing arrived in Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, President Konishi and Shen Weijing had a secret meeting in a pavilion.
The content of the talks will also be about the fate of the three countries of Korea, the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese Invaders, and will also completely change the future direction of the war.
The content of the negotiations is still that North Korea demand that the Japanese invaders at the moment withdraw from the Korean capital and return to the North Korean area of Busan.
The Japanese invaders, on the other hand, demanded a simpler retreat from the Korean capital of Hanyang and retreated directly to the Busan area.
He also demanded that when the peace talks were implemented, the area within the Taedong River in Korea should be included in the territorial territory of the country of the Japanese invaders.
The north of the Taedong River, on the other hand, is the inherent territory of the DPRK, and it is also required that the DPRK officials and troops should not be allowed to attack and harass it during the retreat.
He also demanded that the Ming official army withdraw to the Liaodong region and no longer pursue the retreating Japanese soldiers.
In return, the country of the Japanese will also return the two captured Korean princes to North Korea, and only ask the Korean officials and soldiers not to pursue.
In the face of the content of this top-secret peace agreement, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the DPRK can really accept it.
However, Shen Weijing has already colluded with Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Song Yingchang, the master of Jinglu.
There are two military lords who are protecting Shen Weijing, so Shen Weijing is naturally not afraid of being beheaded.
At this time, Shen Weijing hoped to end this protracted war as soon as possible in order to implement the agreement of the peace talks.
So in the discussion with Konishi Yukicho, it was announced that each side would send an envoy to their own country.
And this envoy cannot be an envoy representing the state, but an envoy who is actually controlled by both sides.
In this way, after returning to the capital of his country, he reported the content and results of the peace talks to His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako State.
The content of the report is that the other country's country has begun to surrender, and the Japanese are the Ming who surrendered and agreed that the Japanese and the Ming have the same status.
The result of the Ming report was that the Wakou State had surrendered, and agreed to canonize and demand tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.
Therefore, at this moment, in the negotiations between Governor Konishi and Shen Weijing, we have to see that the two sides ignore the interests of the DPRK.
This kind of talks, which allowed the Japanese to occupy the territory of Korea, also caused great problems and troubles in the future.
And the disguised envoys sent by both sides must absolutely obey each other's actual control.
In the meeting between Governor Konishi and Shen Weijing, it was also proposed that once it was found that the content of the talks was false.
It can be said that the other country will be done if it does not abide by the agreement, so the two also vowed to keep the content and results of the negotiations absolutely secret during the top-secret negotiations.
After all, even if a problem is discovered, it is impossible for both sides to start a war at will.
Therefore, no matter for the Ming Dynasty, it is very face-saving to get the canonization and tribute of the Japanese Kou.
And after the Japanese got the right to rule the Datong River, it was also an extremely face-saving thing.
However, this kind of game-like deception was eventually discovered, and later became the reason for Ding You's chaos.
And at this moment, outside the Suzhou Walk in Pyongan Province, His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea is waiting for the return of Shen Weijing, who sent an envoy to Hanyang, the capital of North Korea.
And Shen Weijing's return not only did not bring back the Korean prince, but only brought back an empty message.
This also made His Royal Highness Seonjo of the DPRK rejoice in vain, and the ministers of the DPRK were also very curious about the content and outcome of the talks.
And when the agreement of the peace talks reached Nagoya, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako country, also felt that he had a lot of face.
And agreed to the hypocritical results of the talks, and at this moment the truce of the country of the Japanese is for the sake of another war.
The truce of the Ming Kingdom was a complete truce, which had a very different starting point from the cunning Wako country.
On April 20, 1593, the Ming and Korean officers and troops under the command of Li Rusong successfully returned to the capital of Hanyang after leaving the Korean capital for nearly a year.
And this return to the capital Hanyang is not a military reconquest, and it can definitely not be called a return to the hometown.
And the miserable and desolate capital also changed the necessity of the second statehood of Korea.
Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Zhao Kun) asked Li Rusong to pursue him as soon as he entered the city, but Li Rusong refused on the grounds that Hanyang did not have an imperial flag.
However, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) did not care that the Joseon prince was still in the hands of the Japanese and gave the order to pursue the Japanese alone.
And just when Song Yingchang and Shen Weijing were colluding with each other, North Korean Seonjo got a secret report and learned about the results of the talks.
Therefore, North Korea is ready to send envoys to the north of Zhili, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, to report Song Yingchang's crimes to His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.
And Song Yingchang's resignation is also just around the corner, so with Song Yingchang's resignation, will the Ming Dynasty send a new master of Jinglu to North Korea?
