After Shunzhi received Darhan's excerpt, he was unfamiliar with North Korea, so he summoned Sonny and Sukh Saha to ask them about North Korea and whether what Darhan said was feasible.

Sonny said that Emperor Taizu attached great importance to Korea and believed that North Korea should not be put aside to attack Liaodong first. In the first year of Tiancong, Emperor Taizong ordered Bel Amin and others to lead the army into Korea, and the Manchurian soldiers almost encountered decent resistance, the Ming Dynasty general Mao Wenlong fled to Phi Island, and the Korean king fled to Ganghwa Island with the royal family and ministers. The Manchurian army marched all the way south to Seoul, and Korea was forced to make an agreement with Manchuria as a "brotherly country".

In the first year of Chongde, because the Joseon and the Ming Dynasty still secretly colluded to support the Ming army on Phi Dao, Emperor Taizong personally led tens of thousands of troops to invade Korea, and drove straight into Seoul in less than a month. The Joseon king hurriedly fled to Namhansanseong, near the left side of Seoul. The Qing army besieged but did not attack, set up a fence and trapped it, and defeated Korean reinforcements such as Jeolla and Chungcheong. Dolgon led a Manchurian and Mongolian army into the battle, entered Changshan Pass, Kechangzhou, and attacked Ganghwa Island, Kezhi, and won the Korean princess and her two sons. Ganghwa fell, and Korea was officially surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Since then, the Korean Boat Division has been assisting the Qing army in attacking the Ming army on Phi Dao. After the Qing Dynasty completely seized the border, the Korean boat division did not help in the war.

However, the slave thought that Emperor Taizong used Korean soldiers back then, and he had to use them in battle formations. Compared with our Qing Dynasty and Chinese soldiers, the Korean soldiers are too weak. ”

Sonny looked down on the Korean soldiers, he had personally experienced the two major battles of the Bel Amin Expedition and the Emperor Taizong's Expedition, and knew that the North Korean army was very unbearable, so he disagreed with Darhan's performance, thinking that there was no need for those weak North Korean soldiers to help in the war, and it was better to let them come over than to extort some money and food from the DPRK.

Sukh Saha held the opposite opinion, saying: "The elite gunners of the Korean country, the battle of Linden Island, depends on this success. Darhan played, the minions thought it was okay. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, the imperial court had sent 100 shotguns from North Korea to assist Shahrhuda in attacking the Rakshasas, and according to Shahrhuda, the Korean national shotgunners were also available. In the previous wars in the south, the Taiping army relied on the sharp firearms, and if the Korean spearmen were recruited to help in the war, they would definitely be able to offset the benefits of the Taiping army's firearms. ”

When Sukh Saha said this, Shunzhi suddenly remembered that seven years ago, Sha Erhuda (died of illness), the governor of Ningguta, said that there were Rakshasa soldiers in the north who had entered the mouth of the Songhua River and built ships and houses there.

At that time, given that the mouth of the Songhua River was the birthplace of Manchuria, Shahrhuda felt that the threat of Rakshasa was in his belly and was determined to counterattack, so he sent a message to the imperial court, asking for troops to be sent to support Ningguta, and proposed to send Korean reinforcements to help. Because Sha'er Huda said that there were only more than 1,000 Rakshasa soldiers, so Shunzhi did not take it to heart, and the Ming army in the south was marching north under the leadership of Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and others. Sukh Saha then sent a special trip to ask the North Korean to select 100 shotgun masters, led by Huining Prefecture Tingsha Huda, to conquer the Rakshasa people who had fled into the mouth of the Songhua River, and achieved the result of killing 16 Luo soldiers.

If the Korean spearmen are really useful, Shunzhi is indeed tempted, Ao Bai also told him about the benefits of the Taiping army's firearms, thinking that the reason why the Qing Dynasty lost the war was that it did not pay attention to firearms, if it still could not pay attention to it, vigorously develop firearms, and fight again in the future, I am afraid that it will still suffer a big loss. Shunzhi also thought deeply when he heard it, but since the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion was destroyed in Guangdong, the Qing Dynasty did not have many firearms troops available, and it was inevitably a little late to sharpen the knife in battle.

"Sukh Saha, did you say that the North Korean National Assembly agreed to send troops to help the war?" Shunzhi was not very sure if North Korea would send troops to help the Qing Dynasty.

"Master, rest assured, under the power of heaven, North Korea is unwilling to be willing to do so, if they are unwilling, I will send a survey envoy to other countries in the Qing Dynasty!"

Sukh Saha said this with confidence, because there is a precedent for this. And not once, but three times in a row. During the Chongde period, Emperor Taizong suspected that Korea was secretly plotting rebellion, so he sent a "survey envoy" to Korea, and Ezhen Ying Ordai led a Qing army to sit in Yizhou, and ordered the ministers of Joseon to Yizhou for trial. In addition, he sent the inner court official Cha Buhai and other edicts to Seoul to announce the edict, and inspected the Samjeondo Monument and Namhansan Fortress. As a result, the whole country of North Korea was silenced, and no one dared to resist.

In the sixth year of Chongde, when the Battle of Jinzhou was in progress, the Korean royal court secretly communicated with the "Han boat" of the Ming Dynasty and received food and grain, and many Korean people "sneaked through the Central Plains". This situation was grasped by the Qing court, and the Qing court once again sent a "reconnaissance envoy", and the whole of Korea was terrified. After the Qing envoys entered Seoul, they first lived in Sandadu to inspect the tablet pavilion, and then tried the case with the Korean ministers, and killed Huang Yihao and Cui Xiao, who had infiltrated the Ming Dynasty, on the spot, and made the Korean "hundred officials gather to see their corpses". This time, the whole country of North Korea is still trembling, and no one dares to disagree.

In the seventh year of Chongde, Emperor Taizong sent the largest "survey envoy" and ordered the Korean ministers led by Choi Myung-gil, the general of the king of Joseon, to be escorted to Phoenix City pending trial. Qing envoys Gushan Ezhen Ying Ordai, Hebu Chengzheng Cherge, Inner Yuan University Shi Ganglin, and scholar Luo Shuo were stationed in Phoenix City with Joseon princes to carry out interrogations, and as a result, Choi Myung-gil and other Korean ministers were found guilty and escorted to Shenyang for detention. Because the high-ranking Korean general Lin Qingye fled to the Ming Dynasty and the whistleblower Li Qi was preemptively executed by the Joseon king, Emperor Taizong sent Luo Shuo and others into Korea to inquire about Lin Qingye's whereabouts and investigate the king's crime of killing Li Qi without permission.

In addition, Gang Lin and others sent the anti-Qing ministers of the Joseon royal court to Shenyang, and at the same time, Lin Qingye's brothers and family members were also arrested and imprisoned in Shenyang. In the eighth year of Chongde, Emperor Taizong sent Qixinlang Budan and others to Seoul to announce the hundred officials, the second to the people, and announce the results of the investigation. Along the way, the envoys announced to the Korean officials and people that the emperor was "the meaning of the importance of his affairs." The survey lasted half a year, and under the strong pressure of the Qing court, North Korea had to change to the Qing Dynasty and turned against the Ming Dynasty. Later, when the Ming Dynasty warships approached Korea again, the Joseon royal court ordered not to answer the call, not to give food, not to allow them to come to shore, and to "engage in battle" with them, and to send the "nine captured people" to Shenyang.

The three successive "survey missions" lasted for four years, which greatly shocked and pressured the Korean royal court, and dealt a heavy blow to the anti-Qing forces in Korea. The "Yili faction" represented by Kim Sang-heon in North Korea was either detained in Shenyang or exiled to the border areas, and the anti-Qing forces were expelled from the Korean court.

Shunzhi was moved, and he asked Sukh Saha: "Then who can send an envoy to Korea?" ”

Sukh Saha blurted out: "Han Juyuan, a member of the Imperial Court, once sent an envoy to North Korea, and he was the one who transferred the North Korean shotgunner in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and he knows more about the situation in North Korea, so he can still be made to go this time." ”

Shunzhi asked again: "How many troops do you want North Korea to send?" ”

Sukh Saha said: "The slaves thought that the elite soldiers of North Korea were only in the spearmen, and that there were about 20,000 elite soldiers in their country, so they asked them to send 5,000 troops first, and the grain and grass required by North Korea were also borne by the DPRK alone. ”

Send troops by yourself, prepare your own food, and don't increase the burden of the Qing Dynasty and return to the Qing Dynasty, this deal is very cost-effective, Shunzhi couldn't help but nod when he listened.

Sonny suddenly said, "What if North Korea refuses to send troops?" ”

Sukh Saha snorted: "If North Korea refuses to send troops, I can cure him for the crime of not being subordinate, and the troops will enter Yiju and force him." ”

Sony frowned: "Where did the soldiers come from?" ”

Shunzhi also frowned slightly, yes, the Qing Dynasty is now in a difficult situation, although he and the thief Xiucai negotiated and succeeded, but there is still Wu Sangui in the northwest, the evil wolf, and the direction of Tongguan needs to be heavily armed.

Sukh Saha glanced at Sony, shook his head, and said, "You know we don't have soldiers, but North Korea doesn't know." ”

Sonny stopped squeaking after hearing this, although he didn't look down on the North Korean soldiers, but if he could really blackmail North Korea under the pretense, it would be great. At present, the emperor has carried the flag of the Han army on a large scale, and the salary of this flag alone is astronomical, and the money and grain that Kubilong got from the imperial merchants will not last long, and the Qing Dynasty must have another item, and the fat sheep of North Korea is undoubtedly a good target. And as Sukh Saha said, he Sony knows that the Qing Dynasty is now an empty shelf, but North Korea doesn't know!

Shunzhi thought about it, nodded and instructed Suke Saha: "This matter is accurate, go back and promote Han Juyuan and let him go to North Korea." Tell him that as long as the errand is done, I will promote him and carry him into the flag. ”

"Wow!"

Sukh Saha hurriedly responded, bowed down and took a few steps back before exiting the temple.

After Sukh Saha left, Sonny hesitated slightly, but still stepped forward and said: "Master, the peace treaty has been sealed, and the families of the two white flag rebels should be transferred to the Taiping Army immediately, this matter..."

Hearing this, Shunzhi's face was embarrassed, and he waved his hand weakly, and said, "You can do this matter." As for the peace treaty, don't leak it out, and the transfer of the families of the rebels to the south should also be kept secret, so as not to let me be infamous on my back. ”

"Minions understand!"

After Sonny withdrew from the hall, the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the words of the master. At this time, the master is unwilling to take responsibility, and completely pushes the matter of peace to him, a minion, if this matter is leaked in the future, it is conceivable that the master will push himself out to be the object of anger from all over the court, just like when Zhu Youzhen pushed the matter of peace with the Qing Dynasty to the courtiers.

Sonny was a little disappointed in his master, but even so, he forced himself to cheer up and make the peace treaty more beautiful and secretive. Thinking that the thief Xiucai was also very knowledgeable about current affairs, he knew that he was unable to go north, and he didn't want Wu Sangui to pick up the cheap, so he took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, thinking that the Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui would lose both, but he never thought about whether the Qing Dynasty would really do what he wanted, and whether Wu Sangui would be willing to do what he wanted.
