Chapter 219: Treaty

The Battle of Inchon ended with the victory of Yangsan and the complete defeat of Goryeo, in which more than 3,000 of the 10,000 soldiers of Goryeo were killed, more than 2,000 fled, and more than 5,000 became prisoners of Yangsanbo. Full // this // small // say // net

Choi Myung-san, the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, was captured, as was Choi Myung-san's nephew, Choi Jin-seok.

This battle is known as the "Incheon Victory" and is the first battle commanded by the famous general "Huฤ" of the Yangsanpo generation. The calmness and resourcefulness shown by "huฤ" Rong in this battle have become a model in military history, and it is a battle that has been recorded in countless military school textbooks since then.

Cui Mingshan, the general of Goryeo, and his nephew Cui Jinshi were both brought to Wu Dong at this moment, and the two of them were very depressed, and they both lowered their heads at the moment and said nothing.

Wu Dong looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I heard that you are the supreme leader of the Goryeo army, the general Cui Mingshan, and the pioneer Cui Jinshi, but is that so?" โ€

Wu Dong asked, and the two didn't dare not answer, so they could only respond. After Cui Mingshan answered, he also asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" โ€

Wu Dong said, "I am the leader of Liangshanbo, Qinghe Wudong. โ€

Cui Mingshan and Cui Jinshi were taken aback, the reason was that they were just ordinary leaders of Liangshanbo here, who knew that they were the supreme leaders of Liangshanbo.

Cui Mingshan said: "Is it Your Excellency who commanded the army to defeat us this time?" โ€

Wu Dong shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's my general 'huฤ' Rong who defeated you." โ€

Cui Mingshan and Cui Jinshi were curious and wanted to see what "huฤ Rong" looked like, but unfortunately they were now captives and had no right to meet the person they wanted to see.

After enduring it for a long time, Cui Mingshan said again, "What will you do with us?" โ€

Wu Dong said: "This depends on your attitude?" โ€

Cui Mingshan said, "What attitude? โ€

Wu Dong said: "I don't know if you can represent the Goryeo government?" If it works, I'll state my conditions now, and if not, then I'll go and ask the rest of the people to come. โ€

Cui Mingshan said: "I am the general of Goryeo...... With a noble status, he can naturally represent the Goryeo government. โ€

Wu Dong said, "That's good, since that's the case, I'll talk about the conditions of our Liangshanbo." โ€

At that moment, Wu Dong slowly spoke, and the first condition was to cede Incheon Port, which is now Yongyeon City. The second condition was that Han Chinese were allowed to trade in all the cities of Goryeo. At present, the Han people are only allowed to do business in the port of Incheon, which cannot meet the needs of the Han people at all. Third, Yangsanbo was allowed to garrison troops in Goryeo, with a total of 30,000 troops. Fourth, all Han Chinese enjoyed criminal immunity in Goryeo. Fifth, Wu Dong drew another place on the map, south of the Han River, not very far from the port of Incheon, and Wu Dong ceded this place to Yangsanbo.

In fact, this place became known as "Seoul", and its name comes from the "city next to the Han River", which was once the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom in history, but it is still a wasteland and no city construction has begun.

Wu Dong plans to build a new "Seoul" here, which will be used as the command center of Yangsan in Goryeo in the future.

When Cui Mingshan heard these five conditions, he suddenly became 'mรฉng', and after a while, he shook his head busily and said, "Impossible, we can't agree to these conditions!" It's okay to say the rest, but Yongyeon (Incheon) is our inherent territory, and if it were ceded to you, I am afraid that it would not be possible to replace the people with "jiฤo". โ€

Cession of land is a great shame for the government of any country, and it is impossible for the people to accept it. If this is done, the government will lose the support of the people.

Wu Dong sneered: "Can you beat us Liang Shanbo now?" Even if you don't promise to cede to us, we can take it back ourselves. โ€

Cui Mingshan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was extremely depressed.

Now the Goryeo Kingdom has a total population of only 5 million and an army of about 100,000, but most of the troops are stationed on the northern border to guard against the Liao. Although Goryeo had already declared itself a vassal to the Liao State, it did not dare to be negligent with the Liao State, lest the Liao State attack Goryeo.

Therefore, the troops that can be called up are only one or two thousand, and now the ten thousand soldiers are all lost here, and if the rest come to attack, I am afraid that they will also be lost. Cui Mingshan can be regarded as seeing the strength of Liangshanbo's army this time, which is simply invincible, much stronger than the army of the Liao people in the north.

Wu Dong said: "Isn't this it?" If you can't beat us, what if you cede the city to us? Moreover, this time it was you Goryeo who bullied us Han merchants first, and the reason why we ceded these two places was just to let the Han merchants have a foothold, just to protect themselves. โ€

It's a pity, no matter how good Wu Dong said, Cui Mingshan still shook his head vigorously and said, "It's impossible." โ€

Wu Dong thought for a while and said, "Okay, we won't cede these two places either...... We just want to rent these two places, what do you think? โ€

Cui Mingshan said in surprise: "Lending? โ€

It was the first time he had heard of the "lease" of another country's territory, and he was staying there.

Wu Dong smiled, "Yes, lease." We leased these two places for 99 years each, and after 99 years we returned them to Goryeo, what do you think? โ€

Cui Mingshan pondered for a long time, he felt that the so-called "concession" was just an excuse to occupy Goryeo land, but this excuse could be used to persuade the people of Goryeo...... But I need to go back to my king, and I'll give you an answer when I come back. โ€

Wu Dong nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you this." But you can only go back alone, and if you don't come back after you go back, we will kill all the captives. โ€

Cui Mingshan gritted his teeth and wanted to be angry, but thinking that this was Liangshanbo's territory, he didn't dare to be angry, so he had to endure it.

Wu Dong waved his hand and asked people to leave with Cui Mingshan and Cui Jinshi, and let Cui Mingshan go back to Goryeo Kaijing.

After the two of them left, Wu Yong walked in from the hut next to him and said, "Great Chief, our current military strength is so strong, why bother to negotiate with them?" We can conquer the whole of Goryeo! โ€

Wu Dong snorted coldly and said, "What do you know?" We only have 2,000 soldiers, and even if we capture the whole of Goryeo, we will not be able to occupy it. Besides, war needs logistics, and we don't have any of them right now. Also, if the offensive continues, the reaction of the Goryeo people must be considered, and it will be bad if it gets caught in the sea of the Goryeo People's War. โ€

War is not only about conquering the city, but also about the reaction of the local people, the governance of the city, and so on. As for the "logistics" mentioned earlier, it is the most basic problem, as well as the adaptation of the Liangshan soldiers to this place, and so on.

So, the best thing to do now is to negotiate. First gain a foothold in Incheon, and then slowly develop, slowly devouring the entire Goryeo Kingdom.

******

It's already mid-October, and the weather in Korea is unusually cold, and snow has already begun to fall. In early November, the Goryeo Kingdom sent a large mission to the port of Incheon, led by Kim Dong-cheong, the Goryeo Taishi.

Kim Dongqing looks elegant, probably in his 50s, and looks like a teacher.

At this moment, Jin Dongqing was also looking at Wu Dong, and saw that Wu Dong was eight feet tall, exuding a heroic spirit, and he was also extremely vigilant while admiring in his heart.

"Are the Han people going to rise again? This person is simply the image of the Ming Jun in the history of the Han people! If this person takes the world of the Han people, then my Goryeo Kingdom will become a vassal state of the Han people. Jin Dongqing said secretly in his heart.

Wu Dong hosted Kim Dong-cheong at the best Han hotel in Incheon Port, and Kim Dong-cheong first presented a gift from the King of Goryeo, including 100 fine Korean ginseng, 1,000 Shanghai Korean pearls, and 100 exquisite "sรจ" Korean beauty "NV".

Then came the long negotiations, in which Jin Dongqing brought more than a dozen literati, and Wu Dong brought "huฤ" Rong, Wu Yong, Ruan Xiaoqi, Chengguan and others, as well as several battalion-level officers of the army, to participate in the negotiations.

Kim Dong-cheong promised to "lease" Incheon Fortress, but only for 10 years, and the same is true for "Seoul", which is leased for 10 years. The Han Chinese were allowed to trade in Goryeo, but only 5 cities were opened. In addition, Liangshanbo can garrison troops here, but the number of garrisons cannot exceed 2,000 people.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Wu Dong found out that Wu Yong turned out to be a master negotiator, this person's ability to mess around is too strong, and the Goryeo people who are often "nong" are helpless. In the end, Wu Dong simply appointed Wu Yong as the negotiating ambassador, who was solely responsible for the matter, and he only needed to sign it at the end.

On November 15, an agreement was finally reached.

First, lease Incheon and Seoul for 50 years. Second, Yangsanbo could garrison troops in Incheon and Seoul, but the total number of troops could not exceed 5,000. By the third step, ten cities were opened up, and Han merchants were allowed to trade freely in these ten cities. Fourth, the Han people had criminal immunity, and if a crime was committed, the "jiฤo" was dealt with by Liang Shanbo. Fifth, the Goryeo State compensated Yangsanbo for the loss of 2 million military expenses.

The fifth point was specially put forward by Wu Yong, at the beginning Wu Yong opened his mouth all over the sky, and what he proposed was 10 million guan, but later after Jin Dongqing's repeated refusal, it was changed to 2 million guan.

This treaty, known as the "Incheon Treaty", was the first unequal treaty in the history of Yangsan, and of course this inequality refers to the huge advantage that Yangsanpo occupied.

Wu Dong was naturally very satisfied with this agreement, and sent Jin Dongqing out very politely.

Kim Dongqing held the Incheon Treaty in his hand, and his heart was extremely painful. When he arrived near Kaekyung, Kim Dongqing suddenly planted himself from his horse, and his entourage helped him up, only to see that he seemed to be more than ten years old, and he sighed and said, "With this treaty, I have become the biggest sinner in Goryeo, and I will be reviled by 10,000 people in the future...... But it won't work if you don't sign this treaty, Liangshanbo's army is so strong that it can attack Kaijing at any time, and when Kaijing is broken, the whole country will be "hun" and "luร n", if the Liao people come in again, Goryeo will be completely finished...... I have to do this in order to save the country! โ€

Kim Dongqing didn't know that he had only temporarily delayed the crisis in Goryeo, and in the next few years, Goryeo would completely disappear and become part of Yangsanpo.
