After the Qing court envoys were exempted from the outskirts of the Joseon king's outskirts ceremony, the Qing dynasty and the Qing dynasty soon began to interrogate the perpetrators of the Samdaogou Incident in order not to cause any further problems with etiquette. In the process of inquest into crimes, in order to avoid burning himself, the king of the dynasty, Li Zhuo, strongly advocated that the criminal officials and people should be dealt with "leniently", and took the initiative to propose that the six main criminals who used shotguns to injure the Qing army be beheaded, their wives were enslaved, and the remaining 19 crossers were also executed for crossing the border with them.biquge.info

At the end of the inquest process, the envoy applied to the king for an apology. At this time, the three princes of Joseon went to the Qing embassy to ask for punishment, claiming that the king should be written in writing as if to confess to the "matter" of uneasiness. In the face of the resolute attitude of the Korean side, the short-staffed Qing envoy had no choice but to ask the king to apologize verbally to the Qing court.

Li Zhuo apologized for this and said: "The border people who violated the law and sneaked into the shotgun to injure the officials did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and as far as this is concerned, it is not because the ban is not strict, and now the emperor is terrified."

It seems that the Sandaogou incident has come to a good end, but before the Korean ministers have time to feel lucky, things will change. When the Korean envoy Chen Zuo, headed by the right councillor Chung Jae-song, arrived in Beijing, he heard the news that the king had been fined 20,000 taels of silver from the Winter Solstice (Chaohe) envoy, who was about to return to Korea. They cited the cases of the Koreans who offended the Qing Dynasty and the punishment was limited to themselves but not the king, and pointed out that the king of the silver "had a grand ceremony of being considerate before and after the Great Dynasty".

After receiving the submission of the three Korean envoys, some people in the Qing court advocated the immediate arrest of the three envoys, and some advocated that they be escorted back to Korea for disposal. However, due to the increasingly severe threat of Ming Zheng in the southeast, and the fact that the Qing court had vaguely heard that there was some contact between Korea and Dongning, Kangxi's attitude was more tolerant.

When the Ministry of Rites of the Qing court issued an edict to reprimand, Kangxi pointed out that "this is not a trivial matter, and there is no need to issue a special edict, but according to the written edict, the ministry will be ordered to play, and when it is played, the vote will be stopped." Kangxi considered that at the beginning of the incident, he had already issued an edict to inspect the king of Joseon, and if he issued an edict to ask the three envoys again, it would inevitably make "the minds of the people of the dynasty scattered, and the disciples would gain the sea rebellion, which would be detrimental to the country."

Therefore, Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Rites to write the content of the three envoys when he heard the news, and he himself only expressed "according to the proposal", so that he could put pressure on North Korea and show his leniency, so that the situation would not develop to a scene of strict confrontation between the Qing and the DPRK.

In the 40th year of Yongli and the 25th year of Kangxi, in April, the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty once again issued an edict to the Korean side.

The edict first listed various "crimes" in Korea recently, such as the king's failure to observe the suburbs when the Qing envoy arrived in Seoul; The Korean envoy violated the ban on the history of the field in Beijing and filed a false application; He applied for military aid under the pretext of the Japanese pirate invasion, but there was no news of the military aid when it arrived; During the rebellion of the three feudatories, floating words were used to find out the truth and falsehood, and so on.

Secondly, the edict also listed the Qing Dynasty's disposal of the Korean king's fine of silver and the case of the emperor being exempted from the discussion after the Ministry of Rites raised yì, and reprimanded "Taking the former Gu Kuleni as an example, it is said that there is no punishment, how absurd?" And reprimanded "the lowly duty does not tell the king, but lightly wields the end of the pen to open the trouble, all by the weak and strong ministers of the country."

In the last part of the edict, the Qing court's Ministry of Rites arrested Zheng Jaesong and other three Korean envoys and escorted them to Korea.

In this regard, Kangxi decreed: "Do not take it strictly, and the rest will be followed."

"This, this is a great shame." The king of the dynasty, Li Yan, looked at the Qing court's Ministry of Rites in his hand and said angrily. "The lord is weak and the minister is strong? Am I a dumb monarch who sits back and watches his authority fall into the hands of traitors, or am you a rebel party who seeks to usurp the throne? It is simply a great slander, and it is an insult that has never been seen since the Bingzi Rebellion (note: Ding Mao Rebellion and Bingzi Rebellion both refer to the Manchu invasion of Korea). ”

The faces of the Korean ministers who sat down were also iron-blue, yes, no one would want to be accused of being a traitor to the country, so the accusation of the Ministry of Rites actually created an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred in the divided Korean political arena.

"The minister thought that he should immediately resume trade with Dongning, and exchange Korean horses, copper, pig iron, cotton, and slaves for artillery, gunpowder, sulfur, and armor for Dongning." Han Tae-dong put on a tough attitude. "The envoys of this dynasty can also go south to Dongning to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty and ask for an edict (from the two countries)."

"It's too intense." Li Ruiyu frowned. "There is a lot of movement in military affairs, and if it is detected by the Qing court, it will not be an edict." More than half a century has passed since the Bingzi Rebellion, but first, the strength of the Qing army is still fresh in the memory of the North Korean side, and secondly, the North Korean army is really muddy and cannot support the wall, so Li Ruiyu is not worried that being tough will backfire on toughness. "Adults need to be cautious."

"Buying cannons, gunpowder or something may be done slowly, but it is not necessarily impossible to visit the Ming Dynasty." Song Shilie, the leader of the council, touched his beard. "However, the old man thinks that today's Dongning does not follow righteousness and does not pay attention to articles, and has lost China's morality, and has almost become a businessman and the like, and it will take some time to deal with it."

"The mainland fell, a large number of righteous men and gentlemen were slaughtered by the Qing court, and the Zheng family was born as a pirate with a shallow foundation, so it is normal for Dongning to become a businessman." Dasi Xianjin Wanzhong's eyes narrowed slightly. "But businessmen also have the benefits of businessmen, and the real price is clear." Speaking of this, he said to the king of the dynasty, Li Yanjian. "Please take the princess, the daughter of the clan and the pro-Dongning, about brothers."

Before Li Yan could answer, a right-wing politician on the side shouted: "Lord Jin, this matter is too ridiculous, can just Dongning stop the Qing army's large-scale attack?" Once Dongning is suppressed by the Qing court, and the matter of my king's marriage is exposed, it will not be a matter of an edict, you are causing trouble for Your Majesty. ”

"Is this ridiculous?" Jin Wanzhong asked rhetorically. "Isn't the Qing court's message of the Ministry of Rites even more ridiculous? As for causing trouble for North Korea and His Majesty. Jin Wanzhong sighed. The official cannot afford this crime. Jin Wanzhong opened his eyes violently, and a ray of essence shot out. Don't you know that now that Dongning has counterattacked Qiongzhou, the Qing court is in a hurry. ”

"It's just a moment of stubbornness." The right politician argued. "The mayfly shakes the tree and the mantis arm is a car, it can't last long."

"This official naturally knows that the Zheng family will not last long, but as long as the Zheng family is in Dongning, the Qing court will be like a stalk, and there will be no time to use troops against North Korea for a day." Jin Wanzhong said in a decisive manner. "The minister thought that this was the original intention of the Qing court not to further coerce."

"But it doesn't have to be a princess to marry, and it's even more noisy." Nan Jiuwan, who was promoted to the left council, was eager to make peace with the mud. "And Dongning may not be willing, it's better to send someone to probe the other party's tone first." In this way, Jin Wanzhong has nothing to say, after all, the construction just now is hot for him to shave his head. "The Zheng family in Dongning wants to contact, but it is not urgent, and now it is important to perfunctory the Qing court first." Nan Jiuwan's words got to the point, and for a while, the people in the hall nodded one after another. "The minister thought that he should first send an envoy to the Qing court to show his respect."

This is really interesting, the Qing court can be regarded as extremely insulting to North Korea, but North Korea has to send people to Beijing again to thank the Qing court for not arresting the three Korean envoys on the spot, from which it can be seen that the result of the country's weakness is only to spit on itself, but if the national strength is strong, it will be self-abuse, of course, there is also a possibility that it is the king of the outer saint and the inner king.

Li Yu sighed and nodded: "Let Nanqing send an envoy to Beijing." If the Qing people are still unwilling to give up, the Qing can propose to the Qing court that the three envoys will be dismissed and matched, which is really wronged by a few of them. ”

"Command!" Nan Jiuwan, who swept away his political enemies with the help of the timid Li Yan and the Qing people, deliberately showed a sad expression on his face, but he quickly sank and elaborated further. "It's not enough to just send a thanksgiving envoy, I'm afraid that if the shape of the four counties is not changed, there will be disputes between the two countries again in the future."

The situation between China and North Korea with the Yalu River and the Tumen River as the boundary was formed in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. It was the result of the continuous northward expansion of territory by the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties on the Korean Peninsula. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the old Yuan forces withdrew from the Korean Peninsula to form a power vacuum, and the Goryeo Dynasty took the opportunity to expand its territory to the north, setting up a series of eup-towns along the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yalu River, along the line of Changseong, Bidong, and Jiangjie. To the north, the Governor's Office of the Twin Cities was regained and advanced to Jizhou, where it fought offensive and defensive battles with the Jurchens in the area north of Jizhou and south of the Tumen River. In 1392, Yi Chenggui launched the Yi surname revolution and established the emerging Joseon Dynasty, which continued to advance to the upper reaches of the Yalu River and the lower reaches of the Tumen River. In particular, Sejong (1419-1450), the fourth king of Joseon, actively pursued the policy of northward expansion, setting up six towns along the south bank of the lower reaches of the Tumen River and four counties along the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yalu River, thus using the Yalu River and the Tumen River as outposts for his northward expansion. However, the above-mentioned areas originally belonged to the Jurchen territory, and due to the continuous resistance and sneak attacks of the Jurchens, shortly after Sejong's death, Joseon had to abandon the four counties in the upper reaches of the Yalu River, and the Jurchens returned to their old land, forming the so-called "abandoned four counties" in Korean history. At the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, in the process of unifying the Jurchen tribes and establishing the Later Jin, Nurhachi recruited the Jurchen Zhuangding in the upper reaches of the Yalu River, the southern foot of the Changbai Mountain and the middle and lower reaches of the Tumen River, and all of them were incorporated into the Eight Banners in Xingjing. Since then, the Jurchens have never returned to the above-mentioned areas, which is very beneficial to the DPRK to consolidate the border of the Yalu and Tumen rivers. However, since then, the DPRK has taken advantage of the vast uninhabited area of Jiangbei to repeatedly cross the border to steal ginseng, cut down trees, and poach furs.

Nan Jiuwan's voice continued to echo in the hall: "Please immediately promulgate the "Prohibition of Violations of the Border of the North and the South", so as to give an explanation to the Qing court?"

The so-called "Matters Concerning the Prohibition of Border Violations by the North and the South from Participating in Merchants" is a regulation drawn up by the DPRK after the Sandaogou incident to prevent border residents from crossing the border, which includes many aspects, such as stopping the trade between the North and the South, stopping the collection of ginseng along the southeast, and stopping the border areas from transgressing. The promulgation of this "Item" has not been delayed for a long time because it involves the interests of all parties, and now that the Qing court's persecution is getting tighter, I am afraid that it will not be able to pass the test without throwing out some dry goods.

The fat on Li Yan's face trembled, obviously he was very unwilling, but the shape was stronger than people, so he had to reluctantly agree: "Quasi-play!" ”

But Nan Jiuwan's smile did not receive, and Li Zhuo further ordered: "Song Qing, you and the great priest have a discussion, how to get married to Dongning"
