Kim Sang-yong, the right-hand ruler of the Korean state, and others finally signed their official positions and names on the treaty, and they were full of regret and joy on the other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What made them regret was that they thought that this time the envoy to the Ming Dynasty would be the same as usual, and after the Ming court listened to the Korean situation, it would issue an order to reprimand the generals of Dongjiang Town, and then order them to continue to retreat to the island as usual, and the currently occupied land would be returned to North Korea.

However, what I didn't expect was that today's Daming is no longer the Daming they liked in the past, and has become the same as Jianyu and Wakou, who are just as greedy for the land of North Korea.

knew that such a thing should be handed over to someone else to do, instead of rushing to send it to the muzzle of Daming, after going back now, I am afraid that my great career will be ruined.

They knew that if the DPRK did not do this in time, they would probably lose even more land in the future.

Now that they are in the Ming court, their emperor is also such a virtuous person, since this is the case, it is better to kneel and beg for mercy earlier, but to protect more interests for North Korea.

In addition, the treaty is not a purely unilateral overlord clause, after all, there is also the recognition of the throne of Li Cong by the Ming Dynasty, as well as the recognition of the throne of Li Cong's descendants in later generations, which may be more satisfactory to Li Cong than how much land they have kept in Korea.

Seeing that Da Ming has become more and more difficult to speak, it is now easy to agree to this, which also makes them feel a kind of luck, at least after they go back, they can be regarded as having an explanation.

Aside from the loss of the two northern provinces, this treaty was not so humiliating compared to the Ganghwa Island Treaty that was forced to be signed in the first place.

Moreover, the small Korean court had already lost control of its north, and after years of conquest and large-scale plunder, the population of the north either fled to the south or was taken captive to Houjin.

The loss of cities and populations, the land in the area of war was also a piece of chicken for these officials in North Korea.

After signing this treaty with Jin Shangrong, Li Tinggui, and Yin Xuan, the Li Fan Yuan quickly reported the result to the emperor.

Then, on the last day of this December, the anxious Jin Shangrong and others were finally led into the Qianqing Palace by Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang, and met the Ming Emperor who had always wanted to meet.

Several important ministers of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department were also present.

They had already listened to the report of the Imperial Court a few days ago, and they had all read the treaty signed by the Imperial Court on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and no one had any different opinions.

Although there were many pedantic nerds in the Ming Dynasty, there was never a shortage of ministers with broad vision and deep resourcefulness.

This is the case with these few people in the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department today, and none of them are pedantic people who have read books and have broken their brains.

Some ministers were reluctant to use troops or bully the weak in the imperial court, in addition to having some strange feelings of their own Confucian scholars, there was also a point that the foreign use of troops before the Ming Dynasty did not get any benefits except for wasting the Ming Dynasty's own money and food in vain.

For example, the conquest of Annam was very successful militarily, although many people died, but after all, it was defeated, but unfortunately, military success was accompanied by a failure of political rule.

Only a few decades later, the generation that had laid down Annan was still alive, and Annan had to be forced to give up because of the continuous rebellion of the natives.

All the previous decades of investment have been wasted.

There are also five northern expeditions of the Yongle Emperor, which cost countless money and food, and killed countless soldiers, although they won each battle, but in the end they were not able to take effective rule on the grassland, even those guards near the line of the Great Wall, and finally moved to the land of Gyeonggi.

And those Northern Yuan forces that were beaten to the point of losing their armor and fleeing all the way rose again after a hundred years, and appeared outside the Great Wall again, and finally not only came to Beijing again and again, but also captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, the war of aiding Korea and resisting the Japanese in Wanli years was fought for five or six years, saving North Korea and beating away the Japanese invaders, but what did the Ming Dynasty get in addition to the poverty of the country and the poverty of the people and the emptiness of the treasury?

These historical lessons are the reasons why today's Ming Dynasty civil officials oppose the use of troops abroad.

This time, this treaty with the DPRK was not advertised with great fanfare, but was signed quietly.

If it comes out publicly, maybe there will be a lot of chaos in the court.

But the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws. Now the arrival of the North Korean envoy is no longer a secret, and the intention of the North Korean envoy has gradually spread under the deliberate rendering of Kim Sangrong, Li Tinggui and others.

Therefore, the emperor still has to summon the Korean envoys, and on the day of the New Year's Day court, the Korean envoys also have to go to the court as the envoys of the vassal states, not to mention that the Korean lord also presented the four selected daughters of the clan to the Ming Emperor.

In order to prevent the Korean envoys from talking nonsense on New Year's Day, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Kim Sangrong, Li Tinggui and Yin Xuan the day before the Great Dynasty meeting.

Yin Xuan's position of Anping Supervisor is now no longer available, after all, Anju and Pyongyang, which are under the jurisdiction of Anping Supervisor, have become the land of the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately, before coming, his elder brother Joseon Leader Parliament, that is, Yin Fang, the head of the North Korean cabinet, has given him the title of deputy envoy of the Korean Tribute Mission, so today he is also among the Ming Emperor's receptions.

Under the guidance of Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang, Jin Shangrong and the other three passed through the Wumen Gate and the Huangji Gate, and then came to the Qianqing Gate, waiting for the meeting.

This also came from the first envoy of the DPRK to go so deep into the Forbidden City.

Looking at the magnificent scene of resplendent in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, the three Korean envoys strengthened their previous determination, if the small court of North Korea wanted to continue to exist safely, there was no better choice than to continue to serve the behemoth-like country in front of them carefully.

Therefore, the moment he saw the Ming Emperor, although he was deeply amazed by the youth of the emperor in front of him, he still expressed his deference to the Ming Emperor with the most humble gesture.

Seeing that the Korean envoys knelt down after saluting, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Now that Korea is back under the wings of the Ming Dynasty, the three Korean envoys are also my courtiers. Everyone, get flat! ”

At this time, Wu Weiying stood up and bowed to the emperor, and then introduced the names and positions of Jin Shangrong, Li Tinggui and Yin Xuan one by one.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded, and said to Kim Shangrong, the oldest of them and a somewhat gray beard, the Korean envoy: "I heard that Jin Qing has asked to see him many times before. Now that I see me, I wonder if Jin Qing has anything important to say to me? ”

Jin Shangrong listened to Emperor Daming's question, and immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, took two steps on his knees, straightened his body, and then said: "Jin Shangrong, the junior minister of the Eastern Kingdom, will bow to His Majesty the Emperor of Daming again!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

"In the first month of last year, the country was invaded by Jianlu, and the monarchs and ministers of the country were forced to pay tribute to Jianguo, which caused misunderstanding in the Ming court.

"The lord of the country sent his ministers and others to come, one is to ask for the return to the knees of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Four daughters of the clan were specially selected by the lord of the country and dedicated to the harem of His Majesty the Emperor. I beg His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for your permission! ”

Emperor Chongzhen heard that Jin Shangrong kept silent about the treaty, and knew that this person was also a smart person, so of course he said: "Since the lord of Korea has this heart, then I will grant it!" ”
