Goryeo, as a vassal state of Tianshun, basically copied the model of Tianshun, with the establishment of yamen and the system of regulations, including the palace buildings and various settings of the royal palace.

Under normal circumstances, there is also a morning pilgrimage every day.

Despite the chaos of last night, today's morning pilgrimage was held as usual.

However, there is only one topic of discussion today, and that is how to deal with the current threat.

Sungjong was the third king of the Li dynasty.

In fact, including his ancestors, they were all willing to be called emperors.

But because only the emperors of Middle-earth can be called emperors, as vassals, they only need to be kings.

If you call yourself the emperor without authorization, you are going to be a delirant, and you are looking for death.

In just half a month, except for the capital, almost the entire territory of Goryeo was occupied by this Beihae Volunteer Army that appeared out of nowhere, which made Sungjong feel very depressed.

Only then did he realize that his kingdom was so vulnerable.

Now the enemy has come to the city, and it is a matter of life and death. He would love to see someone step up and help him resolve the current crisis.

However, looking at the silent ministers below, Chengzong was disappointed.

"Wen Chengge, do you have any good strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

Moon Sung-ge is the general of the Tiger Army, and he is currently in charge of the defense of Seoul.

"Back to the king, there is no good way but to defend it at present."

In fact, Wen Chengge didn't think that sticking to it would succeed at all, what he thought in his heart was that it was a good strategy to negotiate with the other party as soon as possible.

However, he did not dare to say it directly. Otherwise, you may be immediately attacked by others.

"Can you hold it?"

"It's tough, but it's still going to be the last soldier."

"What the hell does Jia Min want to do? Who does he want to fight, and when he fights well in Middle-earth, why did he come here to fight us? ”

"This man behaves perversely and does not follow common sense. His proclamation said that he would beat whoever he wanted, beat whoever disobeyed, beat whoever stood in his way, and beat whoever he saw was unpleasant. ”

"We didn't disobey him, we didn't get in his way, why did he look at us unpleasantly?"

"King, Jia Min's intention is to be afraid that when he attacks Shengjing, we will attack him from behind."

The secretary of the ministry stated that he was good and expressed his opinion.

"Yes, My Lord, that's it."

"That's right, King, Jia Min must have such intentions."

Others came out to echo it.

In fact, many people have long seen this, but no one wants to say it directly. Now that it is urgent, the official department Shangshu told the truth.

"Official, since you look at it like this, do you think there is a good way to retreat from the enemy?"

"The king, the minister doesn't dare to speak."

"Forgive your innocence, speak."

"The minister thinks that the enemy army is strong at present, and peace talks should be the mainstay."

"Peace talks? How do you go about talking to him? Do you know what he wants? ”

"We have no grudge against Jia Min, this time he came from afar, just for money. The minister thought that if he wanted to attack the city, with the advantage of his firearms, he could actually attack the city. He didn't enter the city, but he had other plans. ”

"Reasonable, keep talking."

The minister thought that Jia Min was so induced but not provoked, which was nothing more than a few intentions. One is to keep us from being his enemy, and the other is to demand money. As long as these two intentions are satisfied, he will inevitably retire. ”

"The ministry affirmed that the good said so, Zhong Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Shen Shangshu has a point."

"Wen Chengge, what do you think?"

Shen Shangshu is reasonable. It's just that such peace talks are undignified. ”

"Decent things, don't worry. Now that the princess of Chang'an is here, we can take the opportunity to contact them in the name of meeting the princess. ”

"King, Chang'an is now the princess of the previous dynasty, we will contact it, if the Tianshun court knows about it and investigates it, it will be difficult to explain."

The Ministry of Rites raised his own questions.

His questioning is actually very reasonable, and now, no one squeaks.

The court discussion was inconclusive, and Chengzong had no choice but to ask Wen Chengge to strengthen his defense, and he hastily dispersed the court.

Jia Min was not in a hurry, and took advantage of this time to adapt the soldiers and horses brought by Chang'an and the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde.

The mode of adaptation is to follow the establishment of the Beihai Volunteer Army. Subsequently, officers were reappointed.

As for the equipment, because the guns brought by the volunteers were also limited, they could not be equipped, so they could only use their own original ones.

If an army wants to improve its training level and change its tactics, it will not be effective in a short period of time. Therefore, Jia Min did not expect them to reach the combat level of the volunteer army in the short term.

Jia Min continued to use yesterday's tactics, intermittently shelling and harassing the city.

Today, however, the focus has shifted from the East Gate to the North Gate. From time to time, the Tatar cavalry rushed into the city from the north gate and went in to harass them.

Then he shifted his target to Simon.

At night, Wei Ruoshui was sent to lead some people to sneak into the city. Or set fires, or kill several officers and officers.

This kind of thing is Wei Ruoshui's housekeeping skill, and he is very familiar with it. In and out of the city, it is already like walking on the ground.

In their eyes, Seoul is almost an undefended city, and those seemingly well-defended defensive positions are actually full of loopholes.

In this way, for three consecutive days, Chengzong finally couldn't hold his breath. Regardless of the opposition of some ministers and the investigation of the Tianshun court, he sent the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Shen Mingshan and the tiger general Wen Chengge to come out to meet the princess of Chang'an.

said that he was to meet Princess Chang'an, but in fact, he came to negotiate.

Jia Min didn't want to see them, and he didn't bother to bargain with them, so he went to the south. Check out the various substances that were collected there.

Here, Chang'an, Luo Xingshan, and Chen Yeqing came forward to receive Shen Mingshan and Wen Chengge.

Chen Yeqing invited the two and his entourage to visit his military exercises, and Wen Chengge had already learned the power of the Beihai Volunteers in the Battle of Daejeon, so he naturally knew that Chen Yeqing was using this to intimidate.

However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he was deeply impressed.

Chen Yeqing put forward the conditions for the withdrawal of troops: In the future, Goryeo was not allowed to be the enemy of the Beihai Volunteer Army, and in the future, passing ships in the Beihai had the right to dock at the port of Goryeo for replenishment.

Goryeo contributed 500,000 taels of silver to make up for the loss of military spending in Beihai. 100,000 catties of raw iron, 1,000 quintals of cotton, 2,000 horses of cloth, 500 catties of ginseng, 2,000 catties of saltpeter, and 5,000 catties of fine charcoal.

This is naturally a lion's big mouth, and the other party can't agree.

After three rounds of bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the conditions of 100,000 taels of silver, 20,000 catties of pig iron, 200 quintals of cotton, 500 horses of cloth, 70 catties of ginseng, 500 catties of saltpeter, and 2,000 catties of fine charcoal.

This agreement is secret and not made public. Because there is also a question of decency for the Goryeo royal family.

Jia Min also has to cooperate with the royal family and act in a scene, so that the royal family can give an explanation to the civil and military officials and the people.

Another agreement followed.

This agreement was also quickly executed.

After the other party delivered the silver taels and various materials, Chang'an, accompanied by Lichun, Zuo Linliang, Luo Xingshan and others, and escorted by a battalion of Chen Yetong, entered the city.

Chengzong greeted Princess Chang'an and her party at the Thanksgiving Gate.

The Thanksgiving Gate is a building built by the Goryeo royal family specifically for the suzerainty of Middle-earth.

Whenever an envoy or dignitary of the Middle-earth Celestial Empire came to Goryeo, he would greet him at the Thanksgiving Gate, and when he left, he would also hold a farewell ceremony here.

After the welcoming ceremony was held at the Thanksgiving Gate, entering the house, Chang'an and Chengzong talked a few words, and then held a farewell ceremony.

In less than 20 minutes, the welcome and farewell ceremony was completed. Then Chang'an and his entourage withdrew from the city.

The next day, Jia Min's armies began to withdraw.

The Goryeo army in the city poured out, shouting and screaming all the way, pretending to pursue Jia Min's army.

Wen Chengge led the Tiger Ben army and the Sidwa cavalry of Simarui and pretended to fight for a while, and the other Goryeo army cavalry battalion pretended to fight with General Xu's team for a while, so Jia Min's army fought and retreated, and finally the two sides broke off.

Jia Min withdrew, and Moon Sung-ge immediately sent people back to the city, announcing everywhere that the Goryeo army had repelled the besieging enemy, the enemy had fled in disarray, and Seoul had been saved.

King Sungjong also immediately announced to the world, saying that he was in the Thanksgiving Gate, and reprimanded the princess of Chang'an in the previous dynasty, thinking that she had died in the country and could not bear to cause harm, and had ordered her to leave Goryeo, and would never be allowed to set foot in Goryeo again in the future.

Now that the invading enemy has been repulsed, it is advisable for the civil and military officials to take their place and fulfill their duties. The people should each have his own room, each prosper his own business, and keep his duty.

For the materials taken away by the Beihai Volunteers, there must also be an explanation to the outside world.

In this regard, the royal family naturally has its own way.

The claim to the outside world is: The barbarian state of the North Sea came to worship Nagong and ask for trade.

The royal family sold some material materials to them, and in order to show benevolence and virtue and educate the people outside the fan, the court rewarded them with some rewards. In the future, the Beihai barbarian states will come to Nagong from time to time to worship.

This Nagong pilgrimage means that in the future, ships from the North Sea can dock at the port of Goryeo and trade with this place.

From this point of view, Goryeo still has some long-term vision, and even the future rhetoric has been prepared in advance.

Goryeo's approach is actually learned from their former suzerain, the Great Virtue.

Naturally, some people question this statement, which will inevitably cause some people to discuss.

In the end, the yamen dispatched people to track down the rumors, and Chengzong punished the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites who objected to it in the early dynasty for one year, and these discussions subsided.

Jia Min, on his side, set sail from Busan with nearly 10,000 horses and dozens of boats of various supplies from Chang'an and Liu Fang, who had just received them.

A few days later, it made landfall at Dadonggou. Leaving Ma Shangde's 300 soldiers and horses behind in Dadonggou and Anping City, he returned to Phoenix City with the rest of the soldiers and horses.

After resting in Phoenix City for two days, 80 people were left to stay here, and the rest of the men and horses all set up camp and marched towards Tongyuan Fort.

There, they will begin their march towards Shengjing with Shi Liu's 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment.

Now, you can start attacking Han Tiankui.

Jia Min and Chang'an stopped on horseback on the side of the road, and an endless stream of teams passed in front of them.

"Chang'an, now I can tell you another news."

"What's the news?"

"According to the itinerary, Chen Yejun should land in Songjiang at this moment. Feng Zijing should lead the Beihai Division into the Yangtze River. Next, he will cut off traffic south and north of the San Francisco. In a few days, Feng Ziying will land in Quanzhou and kill the southwestern nest of the three feudatories. ”

After Jia Min finished speaking, he patted the horse and left. Leaving Chang'an for half a day can't come back.
