Despite the opposition of the South Korean ministers, the reaction of the ruling king, Yi Yong, was different. Speaking of which, the king who has entered the throne is now only thirty-five or sixteen, and if he is well maintained, he can be the lord of Korea for another twenty years, and in this case, how can he be willing to let go of the power he has already acquired, and become a prisoner or want to be a prisoner. As a result, under the domination of the idea of "even if the flood is monstrous after I die", Li Ji's tendency is self-evident.

It's a pity that although Li Ji is the king of the dynasty, he has not been on the throne for a long time, his authority has not yet appeared, and he has not been in the right position, except for some of the courtiers who want to be lucky, the bigwigs of the parliamentary government are quite jealous of him, so he is actually not good at coming forward to support Cui Yingzhi, and if he comes forward, he may not be able to suppress the hundred officials to accept Zheng Fan's conditions.

But what Li Ji can't do, someone can do. The war was extremely chaotic, and the military power was the heaviest, because of the merit of supporting the establishment by Cui Xian, who was promoted from the Sanpin Cheongju soldiers and horses to the Zhengerpin Imperial Camp Office, soon led 800 Korean troops to take over the defense of Gyeongju City, and drove the troops to the yamen of the temporary yamen everywhere. Although the soldiers of the Optimus Pillar Gun were only a fish belly in the face of the incoming Qing army, in the eyes of the defenseless South Korean officials, it was a quick knife around the neck.

Perhaps Cui Xian didn't dare to really make a move, but the shape of the court changed drastically, and he was forced by the military power to discuss the government, approve, counsellor, judge, judge, judge, Sixian, counsel, and promise to curse the "Wufu chaos country" on the one hand, and finally agreed to the Chaozheng Treaty known as the "Yihai Secret Treaty" in the sigh of "the country is about to die".

Since the treaty was signed, a large number of supplies that had already arrived in Jeju began to come ashore from Jinhae and Mokpo. Although the steady stream of food and cloth did not immediately reach the fleeing Korean people, it miraculously soothed the uneasiness of the refugees under false rumors. On this basis, Cui Xian, who was supported by Zheng Fan, quickly gathered an army of 10,000 people among the displaced people and armed them with the ordnance provided by Zheng Fan.

In view of Choe Heon's growing power, many worried middle- and lower-ranking officials in North Korea have written to criticize him for "lawlessness," "dictatorship," and "conspiracy." But the 800 soldiers who entered Gyeongju at the beginning have made the sages in the DPRK speechless, not to mention that now the other party has 10,000 people in their hands, and there is Choi Yingzhi in the DPRK to speak for him.

Since it is impossible to defeat the powerful traitors who may be harmed, the conspiracy and trickery quietly surface. It must be known that the current status of the Cui brothers depends on the merits of support, so someone made a statement to Li Yi through the inner court, saying that Cui Xian's strength had threatened the existence of the Wang family. After several rounds of pillow play, Li Jian finally agreed to divide the power of the Cui family.

Immediately, the South Korean soldiers announced that they would implement military reform in the name of emulating Zheng Fan, and set up a system of co-battalion sentinels, with one assistant under four battalions, one battalion under four outposts, and one outpost under four teams, with each team of fifteen people slightly larger than Zheng Jun's squad; The team has a nine-grade team officer, a seventh-grade team officer, a five-grade battalion officer, and a third-grade commander.

According to the plan for the reform of the military system, the 10,000 people recruited by Cui Xian were divided into the Ten Associations, although Cui Xian himself served as the general of the left wing and was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Five Associations with his own officials, but first, his original monopoly situation was broken, and second, the wing generals did not have a non-permanent position, and after the end of the war, they had to be abolished.

Cui Xian and Cui Yingzhi are not incomprehensible to the courtiers' schemes, but their highest reliance is the Zheng Fan behind them, and the Zheng Fan has obtained the guarantee of the future Korean throne, and will definitely not support them to shake the Li family, and once the mutiny again, the Zheng army that has been stationed in Jeju will soon be put into the counterinsurgency. Choi Young-zhi, who had no chance of winning against the Zheng army, persuaded Choi Heon to accept Bing Cao's reform plan, and of course, as a compensation, the distribution of armaments was tilted towards the left flank.

Perhaps in retaliation for the injustice of the courtiers, perhaps to further flatter Chung Fan, or perhaps simply to cope with the current financial difficulties in South Korea, Choe Young-zhi suddenly proposed a reform plan to the parliamentary government on the third day after Choi Heon's appointment as a left-wing general. According to the plan, the administrative division of the original eight provinces will be abolished and replaced with 23 prefectures, and at the same time, all the capitals, pastors, prefectures, counties, and counties under the rule of the provinces will be abolished and replaced with scattered prefectures and counties in the Ming system, so as to reduce the administrative level and achieve the goal of streamlining personnel and financial expenditure.

It can't be said that Choi Young-zhi's plan is not good, after all, the efficiency of North Korea's redundant and overlapping political system is not high, but Choi Young-zhi didn't realize that it was the complicated official positions that housed the two groups of brothers, large and small, so as soon as his proposal was handed in, it attracted great criticism, not only the local officials of Jeolla and Sanggyeong Province criticized in unison, but also some places that originally supported the South Korean royal court began to switch to the Northern Dynasty.

Under these circumstances, the Gyeongju parliamentary government had no choice but to remove Choi Young-zhi from his post as the judge of Yeejo on the grounds of "arguing about the ancestral system".

Cui Yingzhi was hit by this, and he was immediately angry, but fortunately, Li Yi did not forget his support for it, and the government was also worried that the Cui brothers would be forced to jump off the wall in a hurry. Therefore, only two days later, Choi Young-zhi was reappointed as the Jeolla Provincial Observer. However, the first Cao judgment is an official position in the second grade of the East Banjing, and an observation envoy is an official position outside the second rank of the East class, and the status is completely incomparable, and the taste of derogation is still strong.

"Master Cui has been wronged." Just when Cui Yingzhi was reluctant, He Zhizhou, who was sent to North Korea as a messenger of the Ming Dynasty and presided over the handover of loans and credit materials, came to visit him. "Your lords have indeed done unjust in this matter." Cui Yingzhi knew that He Zhi definitely didn't come to see him to say a few words of concern, so he listened quietly, and sure enough, as soon as the three words of greeting were said, He Zhizhou turned to the topic. "Nanpu, Haizhou and other places are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no hurry to open the port, but the previous time allowed the opening of the port in Mupu, Zhenhai, and Lishui, it has not been done until today, is it a bit of a dilemma. North Korea's treasury is scarce, and sea trade can make up for the shortfall, I don't know why your country is so late. ”

"Your envoy is blind when he asks." Cui Ying's heart moved, but his mouth was pushing. "Now that the lower officials are no longer the verdict of Licao, Lord He still has to find a successor to talk about these things."

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the tiles, since Master Cui has left office, it is reasonable to stretch out his hand and ask." To Cui Yingzhi's surprise, He Zhizhou seemed to be very talkative, and after listening to Cui Yingzhi's reason, he nodded and slid over, which made Cui Yingzhi feel like he was punching the air, but fortunately, what made him feel at ease was that He Zhizhou still had the following. "Then let's not talk about it for now, I was supposed to go to find the person in charge, but Lord Cui, I heard that Lord Cui Xian Cui is the cousin of the adult?"

Cui Ying was stunned, not knowing how He Zhizhou said this, so he nodded blankly and said, "Exactly." ”

"Lord Choi Heon, Lord Choi is now in charge of the training of the Korean army?" There is no need to hide this, so Cui Yingzhi answered again, and only listened to He Zhizhou continue. "The Korean army has always been weak, even if it is trained with the ordnance of its own domain, if it does not know its method, I am afraid that it is just a cat and a tiger, which may not be helpful, and if it is not able to fight on the battlefield at that time, first, it will waste food and salary in vain, and second, it is afraid that abandoning the ordnance will be the enemy." The more Cui Yingzhi listened, the more frightened he became, could it be that Zheng Fan was going to intervene in the Korean army, and sure enough, he listened to He Zhizhou. "This feudal clan sent some coaches to assist Master Cui in military training, I don't know if Lord Cui can submit a letter to the council government."

"This?" Cui Yingzhi's brain teaser turned, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and understood Zheng Kezang's intentions, yes, once the Qing prisoners were expelled, Zheng Fan must be worried about North Korea's treachery, and the money and rice loans will definitely not be delayed, but the throne is uncertain, so it is inevitable to prepare a backhand, so the Korean army that is deeply influenced by Zheng Jun or simply accepts Zheng Jun's dispatch is the best help. "This matter can only be conveyed to General Cui Xian." As soon as he thought of this, Cui Yingzhi immediately made the best reply. "Whether it's a book or not, I think Cui Xianda will have his own opinions."

He Zhizhou looked at Cui Yingzhi's eyes and chuckled: "Since this is the case, please persuade Cui Daren"

He Zhizhou left, but Cui Yingzhi fell into deep thought, with Zheng Fan's promise, not only Cui Xian's status will be as stable as Mount Tai, but his own recovery is also in front of him, but will Zheng Fan unload and kill the donkey after he succeeds? This question must be thought through.

So, Cui Yingzhi took hot water and poured it into the inkstone, and then slowly grinded it

On the 8th day of the 11th month of the 4th year of Wuding, under the threat of the envoys of the Zheng Domain, the South Korean Reecho requested the opening of the three ports to repay the loans of the Zheng Domain with customs duties.

The next day, Cui Xian, a general of the left wing, played and hired the military attache of the Zheng army to teach the array and firearms, so that he could cooperate with the Zheng army in battle.

Of course, the twist and turn caused an uproar, and the two classes of the court clearly realized Zheng Fan's purpose of controlling Korea from both the economic and military aspects, so they continued to refute it. However, on this day, the news of Zheng's army's withdrawal from the Jinjiang defense line gave a great shock to the Gyeongju court. As a last resort, when no one was willing to serve as a traitor and negotiate with He Zhizhou on the military advisory group, the parliamentary government had no choice but to recall Cui Yingzhi and appoint him as the counselor of Zheng Erpinzuo to contact Zheng Fang.

Choe Young-zhi and Ho Zhiju then reached a supplementary clause to the "Ulhai Secret Treaty" in Gyeongju, whereby the DPRK side invited the Chung army to send cadres to participate in the formation and training of the new army, the Korean new army cooperated with the actions of the Chung army and accepted the command of the Chung army, and the Korean Sandao Naval Division also accepted the command of the Chung army's fleet and agreed to allow the Jeong's ships to be stationed in the right water camp of the Jeolla Province.

He Zhizhou then signed the "Measures for the Aftermath of Loans" with the South Korean Hucao to supervise the customs duties and salt taxes, stipulating that Zheng Fan could send officials from his own customs and yamen to control the Korean City Shipping Division, and that Korea would no longer have direct trade with other countries except for trade with Japan.

In this way, Zheng Fan firmly tied Korea to his chariot, and his control over Korea reached a height unprecedented in the history of the Central Plains dynasties
