Chapter 280: The Territory of the Pre-Yuan Dynasty

Allowing Korea to return to the Ming vassal system was already a good thing in the treaty, so at this time, there was nothing more to say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And among the words that Kim Sang-yong said, only this sentence is really related to the future of North Korea, as for congratulating Zhengdan and contributing to the sect's daughter, it is just a gift or a gimmick.

Jin Shangrong mixed these things together and said that it was exactly what it meant not to give the emperor a problem, and a word of favor would be enough.

After all, it is a good thing for North Korea to have the daughter of a clan in North Korea.

Since then, the lord of Korea, Li Cong, and His Majesty the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty have been regarded as relatives.

But for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, accepting the daughters of the clan who contributed from North Korea, and it was four at a time, it didn't sound so good, and it was a bit of a lustful suspicion.

And Jin Shangrong mixed these questions together and said that the emperor could be accurate, and he would not be embarrassed by either time.

Jin Shangrong's cleverness made Emperor Chongzhen appreciate him a little, so he continued: "I heard that the three envoys are in a hurry to return to China, so in addition to these affairs, what else does Jin Qing have to say, together with it, after the New Year's Day tomorrow, you envoys from North Korea can return as soon as possible!" ”

Jin Shangrong heard the emperor say this, thought for a while, and said: "The ministers of the Eastern Kingdom hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can issue an order as soon as possible to order the general of Dongjiang Town to stop encircling the land east of the Jiangnan River in Datong and belonging to my Korean Huanghaedao. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Of course, now that the treaty between the two countries has been established, in addition to the land that originally belonged to Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province, I will issue an order to Andong Hou and Pyongyang Bo to restrain the soldiers of the Five Roads in Dongjiang Town not to cross the border to occupy the land. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished saying this, Li Tinggui behind Jin Shangrong also knelt on the ground, stepped forward on his knees, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of the Eastern Kingdom have another request, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can pass on the order of the generals of Dongjiang Town, and stop wantonly slaughtering the people of the country. If so, it is also a kindness of His Majesty to North Korea! ”

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be a few ministers present, and when they saw that several of them were nodding, he said: "In this case, I will agree to wait for you." ”

At this time, Yin Xuan also knelt down and said: "The minister still has a word, please forgive the minister for the crime of vain words!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and knew that this Yin Xuan was the younger brother of Yin Fang, the leader of the Korean ministers, although his official position was not high, his influence on the Korean king Li Cong was not lower than that of Jin Shangrong and Li Tinggui, so he said: "Yin Qing has something to say, I can say that you are not guilty!" ”

When Yin Xuan heard this, he kowtowed and said: "The minister takes the liberty to ask Your Majesty, if Jianyu rejuvenates the teacher and asks the guilty country, will the Ming Dynasty be the master of my North Korea?" ”

For this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Of course!" Since the country has returned to my Ming Dynasty, if Jianyu raises troops to attack again, my Ming Dynasty will naturally not sit idly by! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "What's more, today, there is still a place between you and Jianyu in Dongjiang Town, how can Jianyu cross Dongjiang Town and ask for guilt in North Korea?"

"So the treaty you signed recently is also beneficial for North Korea. As far as my Ming Dynasty is concerned, Dongjiang Town has certainly had a foothold from now on, and can reclaim and recruit troops to fight against Jianguo, and your North Korea is no longer connected with Jianguo, unless Jianguo destroys my Ming Dongjiang Town, how can it do to you North Korea?

"The monarchs and ministers of the country don't think that I am doing this, but to bully the small with the big and the weak with the strong, which is far from the case.

"The northern part of your North Korea was originally my homeland of China, don't say that the Han and Tang Dynasties are far away, just say that when you were in the former Yuan Dynasty, your North Korea mainland was only the land of the three Koreas in the south, even Yingzhou Island in the Heishui Ocean was also the territory of the former Yuan Dynasty.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the former Yuan and restored China, and the land of the former Yuan is my homeland of China. It is already a great favor to give you the land of Korea and the three Koreas today, so as to save the seeds! ”

Jin Shangrong saw that the attitude of the Ming Emperor was gradually changing to the unfavorable side of North Korea, and immediately kowtowed and said: "The ministers of the Eastern Kingdom do not understand the painstaking efforts of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, please forgive Your Majesty!" After the end of the Zhengdan court meeting tomorrow, the ministers immediately got up and returned to the east, so that the monarchs and ministers of the contempt country signed and sealed the treaty as soon as possible and sent back the covenant. The ministers also asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to issue an order to Dongjiang Town to restrain the Ming Dynasty Anton Marquis and the corporal of Pyongyang. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and picked up the teacup, Jin Shangrong, Li Tinggui, and Yin Xuan hurriedly retired.

After Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang led the three Korean envoys who came to meet them to leave, in the imperial study room of the Dongnuan Pavilion of Emperor Chongzhen's Qianqing Palace, the rest of them are now several important ministers of the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

Emperor Chongzhen did not ask these people for their opinions on how to deal with Korean affairs in advance, but he sent the envoys of North Korea in a few words, and obtained huge benefits for the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor in front of him, although he has just entered the age of nineteen after the New Year, but the means of handling military and political affairs are more comfortable than those of them, who have been invading the court and political affairs for decades, this is really a miracle, this may be a good omen for God to revive the Ming Dynasty.

Several important ministers thought like this, and they all sighed in their hearts.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen summoned these important ministers to meet and discuss, the first of course was to meet the envoys of the DPRK together, which not only made the Korean envoys more at ease, but also made these important ministers unify the opinions of the cabinet and the military aircraft department in advance.

As for the second one, it is necessary to ask how the preparations for the New Year's Day meeting were completed the next day.

This New Year's Day court meeting is a ceremonial activity that must be carried out in the Imperial Palace every year, and all Beijing officials above the fourth grade, and those who are responsible for the imperial court functions among the nobles of Beijing must participate.

At this court meeting, Emperor Chongzhen was ready to announce several major policies, one of which was to open the sea and set up a port to extract maritime trade tariffs.

This is an open source policy that Emperor Chongzhen has been thinking about when he can implement it since the beginning of his accession to the throne, and it will be officially announced tomorrow, and then it will be pushed away, so it must be foolproof and nothing can go wrong.

Seeing that several important ministers were waiting for him to speak, Emperor Chongzhen then said: "That's the matter of Korea!" Next, I will discuss the relevant arrangements for tomorrow's court meeting with Qing and the others! ”

After the emperor said this, Li Guowei, the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately reported the contents of the next day's court, and then focused on the edict on the opening of the sea that the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and several ministers of the household department had discussed and drafted together in the past few days.

After Li Guowei finished speaking, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua and others also expounded some of their thoughts on the reason why the edict of opening the sea was like this, and then people passed on Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, and now Su Maoxiang, the left attendant of the household department who is in charge of this matter.

Regarding the candidate recommended by Bi Ziyan as Su Maoxiang, Emperor Chongzhen did not weigh too much and quickly agreed.

First, this person is a Jinshi of Wanli for 20 years, and while serving in the household department for many years, he has also served as the governor of Zhejiang, and is very familiar with maritime commerce and trade.

Second, this person was born in an ordinary family in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian, and has been advocating sea trade and promoting the opening of the sea since Wanli was admitted to the Jinshi in the 20th year.

Therefore, Su Maoxiang's candidate can be regarded as the right person to implement the policy of opening up the sea, if it is not for the fact that he is over 70 years old and is old, then it would be the best.

After Emperor Chongzhen looked through the edict drafted by Su Maoxiang, he met with Su Maoxiang again, and then discussed the affairs of opening the sea and setting up a port with several important ministers of the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, and ended the deliberations of the Qianqing Palace.

The next thing to do is to wait for the arrival of the New Year's Day meeting in the second year of Chongzhen.
