Chapter 908: The Secret Covenant
Cui Zhuo naturally can't come!
After the city of Pyongyang was broken (the Koreans believed that the city was broken), Choi Zhuo fled by swimming with only more than 100 of his own soldiers, and went south in disguise, and came to the vicinity of Kaekyung on October 19. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cui Zhuo, who was as anxious as a lost dog, did not crash into Kaijing like a headless fly at this time, but kept a heart to make people enter Kaijing to investigate. And the news he got was not that the whole country wanted to fight the Song people, but that the king of Goryeo summoned his ministers to discuss peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and also made the imperial guards surround the Cui family's general's mansion and the mansions of many relatives, and the direct family of Cui surnamed Cui in Beijing were all grounded at home waiting for the condemnation.
Looking at it like this, Cui Zhuona still doesn't understand what will happen to him in the end, it is nothing more than the result of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and being good to the state.
It's just that, after all, he has been immersed in Goryeo officialdom for decades, and his status as a general is not bragging.
As for the content of the letter, not to mention the members of the criminal group, even the important ministers of the court did not know, but after hearing that the little king of Goryeo read it, he took the lamp and burned the letter with a blue face, and only then did he ask the uncle Yao Sheng to personally ask the Song State to ask for guilt.
Speaking of which, of course, Huang Jie calculated that Cui Zhuo did not dare to come to see him, and also calculated that the Korean people ate both chicken (surprised) and shrimp (frightened), but it was impossible to calculate the twists and turns, so asking Cui Zhuo why he didn't come was to laugh casually, that is, to make the Korean people unable to come to the stage.
He also said that Yao Sheng, the uncle of Goryeo, and others were immediately asked red-faced, and their faces were not embarrassed, Yao Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "So that the king of Song can know that the sinner Cui has been stripped of his name by our king, deposed as a concubine and exiled to Yuanshan, and issued a royal decree to expel all the Cui family from Kaijing......"
Speaking of which, although Cui Zhuo made a fool of the Great Song Dynasty, the crime can only be a failure to counterinsurgency and chaos in diplomatic relations, plus the Song army's improper command when the Pyongyang troops were approaching the city, resulting in the annihilation of the 50,000 army, there is really no big sin for the Goryeo court.
Even for the people, in the face of the aggressive soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Cui Zhuo not only did not retreat in fear, but also dared to openly confront Chen Bing under the city, which is the Goryeo version of the "Bright Sword Spirit", although he was defeated in the end, but his actions and deeds are simply singable and crying, so it is impossible for the Goryeo court to kill him no matter what, to relieve the hatred of the Great Song Dynasty, so the dismissal and exile is also the most serious punishment.
In order to express his apologies for this incident, Huang Jie decided to compensate Huangzhou Construction with 100,000 yuan, and to compensate the king of Huainan County himself for ten pieces of palace treasures, a bucket of Goryeo pearls and ten Goryeo beauties.
Of course, these were official compensations, and privately the Goryeo royal family and the four major lords were willing to give 10,000 acres of land in Hanyang County, near Kaijing, and two copper mines in Xianju, north of Wonsan, as compensation. However, Huang Jie had little interest in land, and as for the mines, it was okay, given that there was really nothing that could be done on the Goryeo side except for the two copper mines in Xianzhou, he simply exchanged 10,000 acres of land for the exclusive mining rights built in Huangzhou within the border of Goryeo.
The provisions of the mining rights agreement are also simple, that is, Huangzhou Construction can explore and mine minerals in the territory of Goryeo on its own, and the nominal ownership of the mines and mines built belongs to the Goryeo Imperial Court, and the management rights belong to Huangzhou Construction, which will also pay taxes to the Goryeo court according to the tax rate of the official enterprises of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Goryeo court has no right to intervene in the operation of the mines, and even whether the ore is transported to the Great Song Dynasty or smelted on the spot is also decided by Huangzhou Construction.
Of course, protection clauses such as exclusivity and uniqueness are naturally indispensable, and the related side agreements have been signed by the Koreans a lot, and no one in the entire criminal group dares to complain, and the uncle of the king of Goryeo, Yao Sheng, also signed it very happily, but it took half a day to get things done.
In fact, for the Goryeo side, Huang Jie's demands were really very benevolent on the whole, at least the options they were most afraid of, such as asking Wang Kai to apologize or cede the land in person, and even the option of offering the county lord, princess or prince as a hostage did not appear.
And the so-called 10,000 acres of land and two mines, in fact, are mostly the property of the Cui family, and it is originally generous to others to use them as compensation for Huang Jie, and what mining rights are even more funny jokes for the Goryeo court.
As far as the current folk mining industry in Goryeo is concerned, it still adopts a relatively primitive and wild development mode, and most of the open-pit shallow mines are divided by the fiefdoms and actual spheres of influence of each gate valve family, and once mineral resources are discovered, the Goryeo court mostly symbolically levies a certain percentage of resource taxes, and most of the cake is privately colluded and scraped by the magnates.
Therefore, when Huang Jie put forward the request for prospecting rights instead of land, he asked the whole group to agree without thinking about it, not that this group of people didn't understand what Huang Jie meant, but everyone had a little Jiujiu in their hearts: Think about it, not to mention that the magnates of Goryeo have been operating on this one-third of an acre of land for hundreds of years, where are there any unexplored mineral deposits? Even if there is, what if it is really probed out by the Song people, the mountains and rivers of this land are not still Goryeo, and the Song people have no choice but to find Goryeo people to mine, and the excavated mineral deposits will not have to pay taxes to the Goryeo court and share the profits to the owners of the land.
As a result, there is no solution to Huang Jie's situation today, but the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to remain strong in the future, and when the Great Song Dynasty is not strong, it is not difficult to drive out the Song people who exploit Goryeo minerals and take back all the mines and mines!
Therefore, under the auspices of Yao Sheng, the uncle of Goryeo, this matter was decided by him without having to report back to the Goryeo court, and he also happily used the Goryeo seal brought by Wang Kai to him to leave a bright red seal on the document signed by the two parties.
Because this year is the second year of the Great Song Dynasty (1129) and the year of the lunar calendar, since this agreement is not an armistice agreement, nor is it a traitorous convention, it was named "Jiyou Secret Treaty" by historians who study the history of Goryeo a few years later, and jokingly called it a "life talisman" that indirectly prompted the founding of Goryeo and directly led to the direct flash collapse of the Goryeo Dynasty.
As for the two parties to the contract on this day, naturally no one can think so far-reaching, even Huang Jie has not thought about this problem at all, so naturally it doesn't matter.

I'm back! After resting for two months, I now do hemodialysis every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and my physical condition is a little more stable. Give yourself an account!
I also hope that in the days to come, everyone can support more and come to the starting point to vote for Lao Huangtou to give a thumbs up to "Song Dao"! Thanks!
