In order to smoothly let the Daming Denglai army leave the capital of North Korea smoothly and return to Denglai, which is across the sea, Li Liang finally remembered the pro-Ming faction Jin Shangxian, this matter has to be handed over to the pro-Ming faction, if it is other officials, look at Zhao Lie's attitude towards Li Shengqiu that day, it is very likely that Zhao Lie will not even see anyone.

So Kim Sang-hun came to meet Zhao Lie, the chief soldier of Denglai, on this day, of course, under the banner of coming to **** on behalf of the king of Joseon.

Meeting and greeting is indispensable, and Kim Sang-hun took the opportunity to talk about his experience of being warmly welcomed by civil and military officials along the way when he passed through Denglai Mountain to Daming Jingshi, and he also wrote a lot of poems along the way.

As an envoy of North Korea, Jin Shangxian landed in Denglai across the sea, went to Daming Jingshi, and saw Emperor Chongzhen, Zhao Lieshi knew well, after all, he was in Denglai at that time.

At that time, Jin Shangxian was warmly welcomed by the local officials and gentry everywhere he went, and he drank and feasted every day, and all kinds of fine wine and delicacies were put on the shelves.

This was recorded in many Chinese and North Korean books and passed on as a good story.

Jin Shangxian simply drank and drank to the Beijing Division, which also made Jin Shangxian's feelings for Daming very deep, can it be deep, everywhere is a warm reception, wine and beauty constantly, from then on, Jin Shangxian, who was originally very yearning for Daming, was overwhelmed by the vastness and enthusiasm of Daming, and became a pro-Ming faction with red roots.

Zhao Lie also had a good chat with Kim Sang-heon about this, after all, the pro-Ming faction in the upper echelons of the North Korean government must be supported, and it is the pro-Qing faction that is suppressed.

"I don't know when General Zhao will return to the Ming Dynasty, my king plans to send envoys to thank him, so I can prepare in advance."

Seeing that the two sides talked very harmoniously, Jin Shangxian felt that when the time came, he raised this question, which was actually to test when the Denglai army would return to Daming.

"Lord Jin, when will my Denglai army return to Denglai, it depends on the king's will, as I said last time, nearly 10,000 Denglai troops came across the sea to defend the capital for North Korea, which can be described as bloody Hanyang, Denglai army has paid such a loss, I don't know what reward the king of North Korea has."

Now this white-faced thing is all done by Han Jianlai, and this time is no exception.

"My king has prepared 50,000 taels of silver for Denglai's army, and specially prepared 1,000 taels of silver and eight maids for Lord Zhao, and appointed Lord Zhao as the right council of the Korean State and the temperance envoy of the West Three Water Divisions of the Korean Navy."

Jin Shangxian put forward the conditions of the Korean state, **** 50,000 taels of silver is not much, nearly 10,000 soldiers only have 50,000 **** silver, excluding the silver of generals at all levels, each soldier is estimated to be three taels of silver.

But the reward to Zhao Lie can be described as extremely heavy, not money, but to Zhao Lie's official position, although the right council, the navy and the army are all honorary official positions, not real positions, but this is also the highest official position given by the Korean state to the Ming officials, and it can be regarded as the extreme respect of the Korean royal family for Zhao Lie.

"It is said that our Denglai army suffered little losses in Hanyang, only dozens of people were damaged in battle, but this time from thousands of miles away to help, the cost of money and food, and the cost of hired sea ships was no less than 150,000 taels of silver, in addition, there was also a sea ship that sank at night, and more than 300 soldiers died in the sea. Therefore, the losses of our Denglai army can be described as heavy. ”

Zhao Lie said bitterly, his face expressionless, with tears in his eyes.

"Therefore, this time it is necessary to compensate these soldiers for 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, and the damaged Xiyi sea ship also needs 20,000 taels of silver, these forests and forests cost a lot of money, and this official is just a small general soldier, and the annual rice grain is only a few hundred stones, and it is really impossible to raise and bury silver taels."

Zhao Lie's expression was very helpless, if it weren't for Han Jian knowing that there was no sea ship sinking at all, he would have believed it, and said in his heart that it was really not a fluke that Lord Zhao could reach such a position.

"Seriously, there really are so many." Kim Sang-hun couldn't help but stumble.

"Since Lord Jin has been to Daming, he should know that when the army is pulled, each soldier has to give three taels of silver to pull out silver, this is the rule, this is 30,000 taels of silver, plus the money and food for the expedition to collect fire guns and soldiers, and lease sea ships to the Xiyi people to transport, more than 100,000 taels of silver is really not much."

Han Jian began to enter his role again,

"Besides, the loss of nearly 400 soldiers is 200 taels of silver each, and 50 acres of land, which is another 100,000 silver.

Kim Sang-heon does have nearly 300,000 expenses in total, but the strength of the North Korean State is weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get back such a large amount of money for a while.

"This matter will be reported to the king immediately, and the king will decide, and I ask General Zhao to forgive me."

Jin Shangxian looked at it, yes, this matter is too big now, he can't decide, so he will submit it to the king.

This is to send the problem to the top, yes, the king, you can do it.

Of course, Zhao Lie is serving tea to send guests, so go back and discuss it.

Kim Sang-heon demanded that Cho Yeol-dee be reciprocated, and the North Korean government and the opposition immediately made an uproar, which was simply unimaginable.

You must know that when the Renchen was in turmoil, in addition to the rice grain, the other military salaries and soldiers were paid by the Ming Dynasty out of their own pockets, which cost the Ming millions of taels of silver, the reason why North Korea thanked the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming monarch still remembered it, and worshiped the Wanli Emperor every year, to put it bluntly, it was grateful to the kindness of saving North Korea and the massive amount of money that the Ming Dynasty sprinkled for North Korea.

And Zhao Lie's command is only the soldiers of Denglai Town, and the rush of nearly 10,000 reinforcements will make North Korea pay the price of 300,000 taels of silver, which is really too heavy.

Many ministers have made noise to the Great Tomorrow, asking the Great Tomorrow to restrain the general army under his command, to put it bluntly, North Korea is hoping that just like the last Renchen War, the Ming himself can pay.

However, Li Ju and others know that this time is different from the past, the Ming Dynasty is now in extremely difficult financial difficulties, and it is already too much face to be able to send military assistance, if you don't take out the **** silver, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this pass.

The matter dragged on, and two days later, the Korean West Road Temperance made Jin Zidian return to the imperial court to hand over the order, and the West Road was responsible for resisting the Jiannu invasion, but Hu Lu went south lightly all the way, and did not attack the fortified city, and Jin Zidian had nothing to do to tell the truth.

However, he is the envoy of Western moderation, and it is his duty to resist Hulu, so that the Hulu army will drive straight in, and it is time for Jin Zidian to return to the court and deal with the crime.

Li Qi also knew that he was a little wronged, and intended to delay his punishment, and now it is waiting to be investigated.

The reason why Li Liang gave preferential treatment to Jin Zidian was because Jin Zidian was the main figure of the pro-Qing faction, to put it bluntly, Hu Lu was powerful, North Korea was invincible, and the Ming Dynasty was also weak, so it was better to be false and wrong, and obey Hu Lu for a while.

This is a good saying, to put it bluntly, it will come down first, or Hulu will always come to Fan, and North Korea will be in turmoil, which is extremely unfavorable to the North Korean royal family.

This statement is actually very similar to Li Liang's thoughts, but based on the consistent cordiality and good impression of the Ming Dynasty among the people and scholars, this statement cannot be said blatantly.

That is, it can be done, but it cannot be said.

Li Liang still attaches great importance to Jin Zidian, a minister close to his thoughts, not pedantic and responsible, so he has to protect Jin Zidian.

As soon as Jin Zidian returned to the DPRK, he immediately opposed the **** of the Ming army, and also opposed the reward of Zhao Lie, the reason was that this move could not hide from Hu Lu, which would greatly stimulate Hu Lu, and Hu Lu would also enter North Korea in a big way, and the gains outweighed the losses.

This reason is strong enough, and it is certain that Hu Lu hates it deeply, and it is very likely that he will recommit it because of anger, which makes the Korean monarchs and ministers begin to sway in embarrassment again.

If you are embarrassed, you have to get things done, otherwise the Denglai army will not leave.

On this day, Li Liang summoned several major ministers and sent someone to invite Zhao Lie, he wanted to take a wheel war and let Zhao Lie drop this **** money, and North Korea was really a little unbearable.

After all, the mess left by Hu Lu will definitely not be solved without a large amount of money and food to deal with.

Zhao Lie, accompanied by Yu Dabao and Zhao Da, walked into the main hall, and at the door, according to the rules, they handed over the saber they carried to the palace guards.

In Zhao Lie's opinion, this so-called main hall is just the size of the official hall of the Ming Governor's Yamen, after all, the regulatory power of the Korean State is here, and there is no strength to spend too much money on the palace like the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the distinction between Nanjing and Beijing.

"Meet the King." Zhao Lie bowed to Li Liang.

Li Liang smiled kindly, "Lord Zhao doesn't need to be polite, come here, take a seat." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly sent the chair up.

Seeing that Zhao Lie didn't kneel down to salute, the other ministers are used to it, these days, Zhao Lie just doesn't kneel, you dare to threaten him with a knife.

The premise of the so-called royal majesty is supreme violence, and if you don't bow down or not, it will be the result of harming the family, so people obey and dare not resist.

But this article is completely useless to Zhao Lie, Zhao Lie is not afraid of the threat of the Korean monarchs and ministers at all, not to mention that he is a second-class member of the Ming Dynasty, just say that now nearly 10,000 broken troops are in the city, more than the Korean soldiers in the city, so who is violently subdued.

But Jin Zidian is the first time to see it, Jin Zidian is extremely realistic, his judgment of the situation can be seen, Jiannu is strong, he suggested that North Korea depend on Jiannu, seeing that the Ming Dynasty is strong, he suggested that North Korea rely on the Ming Dynasty, and will not act because of the past grudge, he only looks at the present.

But this does not mean that Kim Zidian is not a loyal minister, on the contrary, everything he does is for the benefit of North Korea, and the reason why he proposed to be a vassal to Jiannu is also to let the Korean state and the royal family survive.

At this time, he saw Zhao Lie so domineering, and he hated it in his heart,

"Zhao Lie, you are just a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, seeing that my king dared not kneel, and no one cared about him in my Korean palace."

Jin Zi pointed at Zhao Lie and roared.

"This official is the envoy of the **** Ming Dynasty, and he can only bow down to the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and other monarchs and ministers are not allowed to bow down."

Zhao Lie said proudly. (To be continued.) )
