Eighty-four Negotiators
Shen Weijing was already familiar with the negotiation, so at the beginning, Shen Weijing spoke first to suppress the momentum of the Japanese. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Weijing said, after I went back, I discussed it with Shi Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Shi Ye agreed to your request for tribute, to put it bluntly, aren't you just for the sake of paying tribute to the Celestial Empire? It's all to blame for North Korea's treachery, which led to the exchange of troops between the two countries, and now since it is all a misunderstanding, you should quickly return the territory and the two princes to North Korea, and find another way to pay tribute.
This response is quite cunning, Governor Konishi's Chinese is very bad, daily communication is okay, this kind of mysterious reply can only be translated by the diplomatic monk Xuansu, the two requests made by Governor Konishi, Shen Weijing did not agree to any of them, but it seems that they have answered.
The banner of Japan's invasion of Korea is Tonggong, no problem, if you come by a different path, you may not pass through Korea! Such a slight sentence pried off the basis of Japan's excuse, as for Konishi's proposal to divide the Datongjiang River for governance, Shen Weijing did not mention it at all, but took the return of the land and the prince as a prerequisite for tribute.
Going around and around, with the power of officialdom, the governor of Konishi was confused, and they discussed and discussed, but the discussion did not lead to any results, so they said helplessly that the two princes were not in his hands, and in the hands of Kato Kiyomasa, he could not be the master.
Shen Weijing immediately followed, then what can you do?
Governor Konishi said, "I can call the shots by dividing the Tongjiang River and returning it to Pyongyang."
Shen Weijing shook his head and said no, no, what is this? This can't be talked about at all, who can be the master?
Elder Konishi explained honestly that he could call the shots in the center of the Japanese army in Seoul, Shen Weijing's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, then you can ask, ask your center, whether this matter is okay, and then come and talk to me.
Governor Konishi wants to repay the Ukita Hideya and the strategists in Seoul, and then the Seoul side wants to repay Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan, this time is at least a month, with this month, Xiao Ruxun can basically prepare for war in Pyongyang, and the most absolute thing is that Shen Weijing also made Governor Konishi and others feel that the responsibility for delaying negotiations is not the Ming side, but the Japanese side.
Governor Konishi was completely fooled by Shen Weijing, and felt very sorry for this old man who had traveled a long way, so he took the initiative to propose that the Japanese army retreat and return Pyongyang, Shen Weijing listened, this is not good, my Admiral Xiao's plan is to eat you in one bite, how can you eat it when you leave? Admiral Xiao can't eat you, but you're going to eat me!"
In the end, the two sides agreed that a month later, on October 30, the envoy of the Ming court would wait at the Suning Pavilion north of Pyongyang to hand over the Japanese army. β
Governor Konishi didn't know who Xiao Ruxun was, but he had completely believed Shen Weijing's words, Shen Weijing's main task was successfully completed, so the next step was to find clues and poke the eyes hidden behind Xiao Ruxun.
After the negotiation was over, President Konishi warmly invited Shen Weijing to have a good meal, and then respectfully asked people to carry a sedan chair and send Shen Weijing away.
Before sending him off, Shen Weijing said to Governor Konishi: "Why do you look like there are still many North Koreans here?" Why, the North Koreans are also helping you in the war? β
Governor Konishi said embarrassedly: "This, the troops are not enough, and some North Koreans are needed to be interpreters in peacetime, so I found some people who are willing to serve to help, after all, the two armies are fighting, we think this is normal." β
Shen Weijing looked very dissatisfied: "These guys, disloyal and unjust, are really hateful!" Now that we have decided to negotiate peace, when you evacuate, tie up these bastards and leave them behind, and hand them over to Daming to dispose of! β
Governor Konishi's face was a little strange, but he still agreed to accept it, sent Shen Weijing away, and gave him some money and a few iron cannons, as well as a famous postβthe Chinese translation of the Chinese names of the main military personnel of the First Army written in Chinese characters by him.
It wasn't until he left Pyongyang City a long way away and entered a safe area that Shen Weijing patted his chest with a sigh of relief, and one of the attendants who came with him couldn't help but pat his ass: "Master! You're amazing! Stunned for those would-be robbers! β
Shen Weijing took a sip and said disdainfully: "Phew! What the hell! Back then, when you Grandpa Shen and I dealt with the Japanese under Hu Dashuai's hands, he was not born yet! However, these guys are too guarded and don't get much information, but it's almost there, hurry back and report to the Admiral! There are not a lot of pirates in Pyongyang, and the North Koreans are fooling us! β
"Okay!"
The group hurried to Yiju.
Zhenjiang Fort, after Wu Weizhong handed over Xiao Ruxun's warrant to Li Rusong, Li Rusong jumped like thunder, and tore up the warrant to cross the river to find Xiao Ruxun's trouble, Wu Weizhong couldn't look past it and wanted to block it, and was almost dislocated by Li Rusong's punch in his right shoulder, if it weren't for Wu Weizhong's efforts to dissuade him from taking care of the overall situation, his southern soldiers could get up with Li Rusong.
No one could stop Li Rusong, so Li Rusong took Nurhachi with him, brought thirty more relatives, grabbed a ferry boat and crossed the river to find Xiao Ruxun's trouble.
Xiao Ruxun is still immersed in dealing with the matter of the march route, the Korean monarch and minister are really cheating, don't help or say, basically three or two officials will come here a day to hang around, called to inquire about the news, in fact, they still ask Xiao Ruxun to send troops as soon as possible, they don't know when Xiao Ruxun will be able to enter the army if he tosses so much, he can't be in a hurry, Xiao Ruxun can't beat or scold, and he can't stop him from entering, he is very distressed.
Finally, Xiao Ruxun got anxious, grabbed a high-ranking North Korean official who came to ask for troops, pressed him on his chair, asked him to deal with things together, and told him that as long as the road is repaired and the warehouse is repaired, he can send troops immediately, as long as you help me do things, if you can't do things, don't make noise for me here.
The official swallowed his saliva, looked at the mountain of papers, and ran away after making a gray confession, three or five officials in a row forced Xiao Ruxun away, and the Korean monarchs and ministers also knew that Xiao Ruxun was annoyed, and did not dare to continue to harass Xiao Ruxun, but instead went to harass Liu Chenglong and Yuan Huang, and asked about the date and plan of sending troops.
Yuan Huang can still drive them away and let them get out, Liu Chenglong can't, these North Korean officials are not so polite to Liu Chenglong as they treat Ming officials, they come up and ask questions, forcing Liu Chenglong to almost collapse, and finally Xiao Ruxun came over to relieve the siege and repelled a group of guys who pulled back their legs, so they reluctantly let Liu Chenglong continue to work.
All in all, these high-ranking North Korean officials don't care about anything else at all, they just want the Ming army to quickly send troops to recover Korea, they don't think about the actual situation at all, or they don't want to think about it in their hearts, they can't wait for Korea to recover tomorrow, and the Japanese will all go back to their hometowns, and they don't care about anything else, even if it is worth using the lives of the Ming army to fill the victory.
For these people, Xiao Ruxun patiently explained at first, and then drove them away directly, not giving face at all, and angrily reprimanded these people for their corpses and vegetarian meals, and drove them all out of their offices, these people's faces couldn't hang up, and secretly asked Li Hao to complain to Song Yingchang about Xiao Ruxun, but Song Yingchang's reply was even more unkind.
The Ming Dynasty sent troops, food and money to you to recover the country, and who did Admiral Xiao handle affairs conscientiously for? If you don't cooperate honestly, you still have to hold back, believe it or not, I withdraw my troops?!
All in all, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and the grain and grass will not work, and the three armies will not move!
This very unkind reply letter finally made the Korean monarch and ministers stop for a while, but Li Hao's mood began to be depressed again, and if it dragged on like this, I don't know what year, month, and day would be able to recover Seoul and restore North Korea?
It was at this stall that Li Rusong came.
