Joseon Royal Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

About an hour ago, the king of Korea received a report that the war had begun, and the Ming army was about 5,000 people, and the king of Korea was immediately relieved that the other party only had 5,000 people, and he had tens of thousands of people, and there was a strong city to defend, and Seoul was worry-free.

However, this is not the case, one person stumbled, and ran in, scared out of breath, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, no... Oh no, the Ming army has already broken through the city and slaughtered our palace. ”

"Ahh The king of Joseon was so frightened that he sat on the ground, without any image, and it took him half a day to get up, and he asked tremblingly: "Really... Really, what about our tens of thousands of troops? ”

"Your Majesty, our tens of thousands of troops are no match for others at all, and they are mainly slaughtered, I... What are we going to do? ”

At this moment, the gunshots outside could be faintly heard, and the king of North Korea said weakly: "Surrender, go and tell everyone, lay down your arms and surrender." ”

There is no other option but to surrender.

………

Zhang Feng and Zhao Weibin led a large group of marines to the gate of the Seoul Palace, and everyone was about to go in, only to see a large group of people, and the leader shouted, "Which general is the Ming Dynasty, don't fight, let's surrender." ”

Zhao Weibin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lord Commander, they have surrendered, what should we do?" ”

Originally, Zhao Weibin still wanted to enter the palace and kill them wantonly, but he didn't think about it, the other party surrendered, and he was a little unwilling, which was too cheap for them.

Zhang Feng smiled, he knew Zhao Weibin's mind very well, Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, I heard that there is a Korean treasury in the palace, and there are many treasures in it. ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng gave Zhao Weibin a "you know" look, and Zhao Weibin really understood and nodded immediately.

After entering the palace, Zhao Weibin took a large group of team members to find the treasury of the North Koreans, while Zhang Feng took another group of people into the main hall of the Korean palace, walked straight in, and sat on the throne belonging to the king of Korea.

Sitting in that position, with his legs crossed, Zhang Feng said: "Your king, won't he run away." ”

"No, no, His Majesty will be there soon." A North Korean minister hurriedly said.

The king of Joseon really came, and when he saw Zhang Feng sitting on his throne, he didn't dare to let go of a fart, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "General Zhang Bing, we are wrong, we surrender." ”

Zhang Feng said: "It's easy to talk about surrender, find a place to sit down, there are some things, we have to talk about it." ”

So, what followed was a long negotiation, Zhang Feng and his troops put forward a series of demands, which seemed to be relatively "excessive", but no one from the king of Joseon down dared to oppose it.

Zhang Feng proposed that North Korea pay an indemnity of 5 million taels of silver, and that North Korea would be Zhang Feng's personal vassal state in the future, pay a tribute of 2 million taels of silver every year, cut the port of Incheon, and Zhang Feng sent people to supervise the entire Incheon, and Korea would fully open up trade.

Jang Feng sent troops to Incheon to defend Seoul and the Joseon royal family, and the DPRK was responsible for the military expenses of this army.

Zhang Feng proposed that the DPRK send 10,000 civilian men to be responsible for the construction of a series of military and civilian facilities in Incheon......

Zhang Feng proposed......

………

Zhang Feng made a series of demands and drew up a treaty, and a few days later, the two sides signed a formal treaty in Incheon, which is known in history as the Treaty of Incheon, which of course was an unequal treaty.

Zhang Feng stayed in Korea for about half a month, leaving 3,000 men to garrison Incheon, and at the same time began to build the port of Incheon and build a trade transit station in Incheon.

When I went back, the ships were full of supplies, especially the three thousand material transport ships of the navy, which carried a lot of money, and the Korean treasury, accumulated over the years, was almost robbed by Zhao Weibin, and when he learned that the treasury was robbed, the king of Korea was almost so angry that he vomited blood, but he had no way.

Since then, various industrial products have been continuously transported to North Korea in exchange for grain, industrial raw materials, and furs including mink, otters, green rats, leopards, etc.; dried seafood such as sea cucumber, abalone, shrimp, fish, kelp, etc.; gold, silver, copper, bean tin and other metals; white paper, strong paper, mulberry paper and other papers; ginseng, pepper, alum, dried ginger and other medicinal herbs; dyes such as danmu and locust flowers; Pears, apples, persimmons, chestnuts and other dried and fresh fruits, etc.

This time, Zhang Feng can be regarded as making a profit.

On the way back, Zhang Feng and Zhao Weibin talked about the war, and Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, how do you feel about fighting with North Korea this time?" ”

Zhao Weibin said without hesitation: "Lord General Soldier, one word 'cool'." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, this time you can fight so coolly, with 5,000 troops to defeat the enemy who is several times our size, do you know why this is happening?" ”

Zhao Weibin said: "My lord, on the one hand, it is the other party who underestimates the enemy, blindly underestimates the enemy without knowing our strength, thinking that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who will eat us, but I didn't think about it, it is not the case at all." ”

"On the other hand, the strength of the North Korean army is really not very good, compared to the Tartars, the combat effectiveness is far worse, it is no wonder that the Tartars were able to conquer the whole of Korea with 30,000 troops."

Zhang Feng nodded a little and glanced at Zhao Weibin with satisfaction, after such a big victory, Zhao Weibin is not arrogant or impatient, and he can analyze the above two points, which is good.

……….

Zhang Feng led the troops to fight North Korea, and also signed a treaty to force North Korea to cede land, pay compensation, and call the vassals, this matter is relatively large, although the information in this era is not developed, but Zhang Feng came back for about a month or so, and the matter still spread to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also to Chongzhen.

It is known what measures and means the Manchus will take, but when Chongzhen learned about this, he lost his temper on the spot.

Chongzhen said fiercely: "What kind of system, this is completely a bandit act, and it violates the national system." ”

Chongzhen Gao is not happy, Zhang Feng doesn't care, Zhang Feng himself is happy, the fleet has brought back a lot of things, Zhang Feng's pockets are gradually bulging, and the financial resources are sufficient.

Construction began on the railway from Songjiang to Suzhou and then to Changzhou, and the two shipyards were also working at full capacity to build all kinds of ships, such as warships, transport ships and ironclad ships.

3,000 warships, 3,000 transport ships, and ironclad ships, which are the key types of ships built by the two major shipyards, will gradually reduce the production of 1,000 shipyards.

The wooden structure of the 3,000-material warship and the 3,000-material transport ship are built relatively quickly, because they are large wooden ships, the process difficulty is relatively low, and these two kinds of ships are built almost every month.

The construction of ironclads is more difficult, but after a few months of construction, the two ironclads under construction are also beginning to take shape, and it seems that there is no problem in completing the construction before the end of this year.

Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Changzhou Mansion, because of Zhang Feng, this area is stable and rich, grain prices are stable, and most of the people have something to do.

In addition to Zhang Feng's own series of factories, some other people with flexible minds and money in their hands followed suit, and all kinds of workshops and factories also sprung up, and capitalism completely sprouted and thrived.

The economic development is good, the tax is more, it is said that the tax revenue of these three prefectures occupies half of the entire Nanzhili, of course, with the fame, many people flock to these three places, especially some people in the north who fled to these three places as the first choice.

It is said that since the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the population of Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture has increased by more than 20%.

The increase in population is both a good thing and a bad thing, obviously, Zhang Feng has made good use of and resettled these foreign population, or went into the factory to work, but if he can't resettle it, he will be sent to open mines or build railways.

The construction of the railway, although a little tired, but stable, every day at noon has a full meal, and every day I get ten centiary money plus two catties of food.

In addition to being sold on the Harvest Grain Ship, some of the grain brought back from the Ryukyu and from Korea was used as a remuneration for railroad workers, and a strong laborer could get two catties of grain a day.

………

The wheel of time slowly moved forward, advancing to the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

In the first month, Li Zicheng reinvigorated, conquered Luoyang, and killed King Fu.

Zhang Xianzhong went out of Sichuan, Ke Xiangyang in February, and killed King Xiang.

In February, Li Zicheng's troops besieged Kaifeng.

In the spring of the same year, the Qing army encircled Jinzhou, and Chongzhen mobilized 130,000 troops to rescue Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Feng also received an order from the Ministry of War to go to the Jinzhou area, but Zhang Feng did not go to Jinzhou on the grounds that the army had not been expanded long and was being trained.

The general direction of history has not changed, whether it will change in the future, Zhang Feng has no way of knowing, at least for now, the major events that should have happened in history have happened one by one.

The current Ming Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, wind and rain, it is estimated that Chongzhen is also anxious, and what is even worse is that the famine has further expanded, and there has been a famine in many places in the north, even the Gyeonggi area has not been spared, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and children and daughters are sold everywhere.

Tianjin Wei.

After more than two years of construction, the port here is larger, and the huge wharf has at least twenty or thirty berths, which is simply one on the ground and one in the sky compared to two years ago.

Next to the wharf, several 3,000-material transport ships were docked, and many laborers were unloading bags of grain from the ships, which seemed to be all rice.

There are a few strong men, resting on the dock, just now, these people have been carrying for nearly an hour, each carrying at least hundreds of bags of grain, working for so long, just take a break.

"Brother, where are you?"

Most of these people are not Tianjin Wei natives, and they are basically refugees from nearby prefectures and counties, and they have a bite to eat here.

"My hometown is from Shanxi, what about you?"

"Your hometown is really far away, I am from Baoding, I fled to Tianjin Wei at the end of last year, and I have been looking for something to do at the dock."

"I came a few months earlier than you, fled all the way from Shanxi to here, saw a lot of things along the way, didn't think about it, there is a good place like Tianjin Wei, as long as you have the strength and are willing to endure hardships, you won't be hungry."

Someone next to him said: "You don't know yet, I heard that the area around Songjiang Mansion is better, you can go into the factory to do things, and you can get one or two taels of silver a month." ”

"And a good place like this?"

"Of course it's true, can't I lie to you?"

"Songjiang Mansion, it's too far, I'm still in Tianjin, and I can't be hungry here."

Everyone was chatting a few words during the break, and in the distance, a fleet of two ironclad ships and three 3,000 warships was slowly sailing over.
