Chapter 530: North Korea's Affair
When the Ottoman Empire was in full swing in the Middle East, the Chinese Expeditionary Force also launched a war in Korea, and the Chinese attracted almost all the Japanese troops in Korea on the Sino-Korean border, but the Chinese army carried out a landing operation on Incheon in Korea from the sea.
Inchon is located on the west coast of central Korea, the Chinese army escorted by the navy, transported an infantry division and a mountain division, a total of 50,000 troops landed in the port of Incheon, and the Japanese only had some police in Incheon, naturally could not stop the landing of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army easily occupied Incheon.
For the Koreans, the arrival of the Celestial Empire army is really a long time away, Korea has been invaded by the Japanese for 20 years, although it has only been ruled by the Japanese for five or six years, but in these years, the Koreans have been oppressed, slaughtered, and harmed by the Japanese enough to be miserable, during this period, the Japanese killed the Koreans, and the Japanese ronin can kill the Koreans at any time without bearing any criminal responsibility, The Koreans are bitter in their hearts, now that the Celestial Empire army has finally come, they will soon drive away those Japanese who have been killed by heaven, so the Koreans can almost be said to have been dispatched all the way to welcome the arrival of the Celestial Empire army on the road into the city and on the streets of the city with the flag of Huaguo, every Korean woman carried a basket containing food, but when the Celestial Empire army arrived, they all carried the basket and handed the food inside to the soldiers passing by, but no one reached out to take the food.
The two divisions that landed at Inchon did not stop at all, only the troops of the next battalion were stationed here to receive supplies for the convoy. and defend the port city, which will serve as a stockpile for supplies.
After the capture of Seoul. The infantry division was ordered to move south to sweep away the Japanese troops in southern Korea, while the mountain division was ordered to go north to attack the 20th Division of the Japanese Army in Korea and the Korean Army that were facing the Chinese army on the border.
Imprisoned by the Japanese in Deoksugung Palace, the former Joseon King Lee Hee and the Joseon King Lee Kun were both released by the Chinese army. The father and son also regained their freedom, and the former name of Deoksugung Palace was Gyeongun Palace, but since Li Xi took over the real power, it was used as an official palace and renamed Deoksugung Palace.
The busiest street of Deosugung Palace is famous for its charming stone-walled road. Among the palaces in Seoul, Deoksugung Palace is the only palace that stands side by side with Western-style buildings, creating a unique view. It was originally the residence of the elder brother of Seongjong of the Li Dynasty, the Maharaja of Wolsan. After Gwanghaejun ascended the throne, he renamed it Gyeongun Palace, giving it the appearance of a royal palace. The interior has a stone hall that preserves Korea's earliest Western-style architecture, and a spacious courtyard with an antique atmosphere.
Yang Shiqi came to North Korea with the army this time, and his main task in coming to North Korea this time was to deal with North Korean affairs and let North Korea join the Great China Federation. He presided over the formation of the Korean cabinet and other matters, and also resolved the problems of the former Korean king Yi Hee and his son.
After some Japanese soldiers guarding Deoksugung Palace were disarmed and arrested by the Chinese army, Li Xiangjun and Li Weizhong, two of Li Xi's cronies who came with Yang Shiqi from Huaguo, immediately ran into Deokshou Palace with their robes, and after running to the palace where Li Xi lived, the two of them crawled on the ground and crawled at Li Xi's feet and cried.
"King Taishang, Your Majesty, the ministers are late, and your Majesty is wronged. Woowoo woo ???????" Li Xiangjun and Li Weizhong hugged Li Xi and Li Kun's thighs respectively and cried loudly.
Seeing this situation, Li Xi's father and son also knew that North Korea was saved, and immediately the father and son, the monarch and the ministers hugged each other and cried. After a long time, the four separated. Each wiped his tears.
Li Xi comforted: "The two Qing family are invited to get up quickly, this time it is thanks to the two of you who invited the army of the Celestial Empire, otherwise our father and son don't know how long they will be under house arrest by the Japanese." I'm afraid that there is no time between our monarchs and ministers! ”
Li Xiangwei and Li Weizhong hurriedly said: "The prince is serious, it is the prince and the king who are blessed with all the heavens." Otherwise, how can we invite the Celestial Empire army over with the two of us? ”
Li Xi was very happy to hear the words of the two, and the joy on his face increased a lot. On the contrary, Li Kun was quite dissatisfied with the title of the two of them, "The two Qing families, Emperor Tai was called the emperor eight years ago, and my country was also renamed the Korean Empire, why can't you two remember it?" ”
Li Xiangwei and Li Weizhong were shocked when they heard this, you must know that Yang Shiqi is still standing outside! If Li Kun's words were listened to by him, wouldn't it be a catastrophe? Li Xiangwei hurriedly said: "The king is cautious, cautious!" You must no longer call yourself the emperor, and our country can no longer call the Korean Empire, you must know that this matter was not allowed by the Celestial Empire, this time I waited for the two of us to go to Beijing to move the rescue troops, and the Celestial Empire's foreign minister, Lord Lu, was furious at this, and claimed that the prince's move was completely not to take the Celestial Empire in his eyes, but fortunately, we put the blame on the Japanese at that time, saying that the Japanese forced it, and Lu Daren calmed down his anger! ”
Li Xi and Li Kun, father and son, were also frightened and turned pale when they heard this, Li Xi hurriedly raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said in a loud voice: "It's extreme, it's all forced by the Japanese, the widow has never made his own claim to change the name of the emperor and change the name of the country, it's all those god-damn Japanese who made it!" ”
Li Xiangwei said again: "King Tai, this time the ministers are coming back with the army of the Celestial Empire, and there is also the special envoy of the President of the Celestial Dynasty, Lord Yang Shiqi, this matter Lord Yang came to meet the King and the King, discuss with the King and the King and preside over the restoration of our country, now Lord Yang is waiting outside the palace, the King and the King should quickly send someone to invite the envoy Lord Yang in, let Lord Yang wait for a long time is not good, now it is very hot outside!" ”
"Oh, why didn't the two Qing families say it earlier, and let Lord Yang wait outside the palace for so long in vain? Come on, please invite Lord Yang into the palace! Li Kun hurriedly ordered, but immediately said: "No, no, no, it's better to invite Lord Yang in person!" ”
"Hey, it's better for my father to go with you to invite Lord Yang, hey, it's still the adults of the Celestial Empire who are polite, if it's Japanese, they won't wait outside the palace for the widow to send someone to invite, they will break in directly, and show off their strength to the widow!"
While speaking, Li Xi, father and son, the four of them led several palace maids out of Deokshou Palace, and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a Chinese costume standing outside the palace gate, and a young man carrying a briefcase stood behind him, and several Chinese soldiers stood aside with pistols at their waists.
Li Xi hurriedly bowed and saluted and said loudly: "The widow is late to greet him, let Lord Yang wait for a long time, forgive your sins!" ”
Yang Shiqi smiled and bowed back: "The prince is too polite, and he personally greeted the king, so that Yang really can't afford it, can't afford it!" ”
Li Xi hurriedly said: "Lord Yang deserves it, he deserves it, the Celestial Empire sent heavenly soldiers to rescue my North Korea from the brutal Japanese, I am grateful to all of Korea, Lord Yang, as the special envoy of the President of the Celestial Empire, is absolutely worthy of it!" Lord Yang, it's hot outside, let's go to the palace to talk, please please! ”
"In this way, I will disturb His Majesty the Prince!" Yang Shiqi was not polite this time, and followed Li Xi into Deokshou Palace.
Entering Deoksugung Palace, the two sides sat down separately, Li Xiangjun and Li Weizhong accompanied them, and Yang Shiqi drank tea and chatted with Li Xi and Li Kun about the situation in Korea under Japanese rule in recent years.
It took half an hour for Yang Shiqi to get to the point, and said to Li Xi and Li Kun: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the foreign minister came this time to preside over the restoration of Korea under the full authority of our president, on behalf of our president and our government, I declare that Korea was a vassal state of our country in the past, and it is still and will continue to be in the future, our country has suzerainty over Korea, and Korea will always be protected and blessed by our country, which cannot be changed by any external force, and any country that wants to annex Korea must ask me whether the army of the Celestial Empire agrees!" In view of the fact that Korea was a subject state of our country before, there should not be much problem with the accession of Korea to the Great Chinese Federation and the restoration of the tributary system, and the accession to the Great China Federation has only made some minor changes to the previous tributary system. ”
Just now, the monarchs and ministers were taking care of themselves, Li Xiangwei and Li Weizhong forgot about this matter at all, Li Xi heard the words and immediately looked at Li Xiangwei and Li Weizhong, Li Xiangwei hurriedly said: "Lord Yang, just now we have not seen our monarchs and ministers for many days, and we have not had time to report this matter to the prince and the king."
Yang Shiqi was not annoyed, and directly took the document signed by Li Xiangwei and Li Weizhong to join the Great China Federation from the secretary beside him and said: "In this case, then I will say it again to the prince and the king here, in fact, joining the Great China Federation is not much different from the previous tributary system, that is, the regulations and terms of the relevant aspects have been modified, and the first modification is that the prince and the king cannot directly intervene in political affairs in the future, and in the following days, the foreign minister will preside over the establishment of the cabinet, after the establishment of the cabinet, The government of the DPRK is governed by the Cabinet, but in advance the progressive parties will form the National Assembly, and the Korean nobles, celebrities, and businessmen will form the National Assembly, and each political party will nominate two candidates to present to His Excellency the President of our country, and His Excellency the President of the DPRK will select one of the two people nominated by each political party to participate in the election of the National Assembly of your country, and the one with the largest number of votes will be appointed to the post of Prime Minister, and the appointment letter will be signed by the King and stamped with a jade seal.
Since the Cabinet is in power, it is necessary to have supervision, and in the future, the royal family will supervise the administration of the Cabinet, and the King will be responsible for the jurisdiction of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office and directly appoint the Supreme Prosecutor; The National Assembly is responsible for legislating and deliberating various important bills of the Cabinet, and law enforcement is in the hands of the Supreme Court, which appoints a person who is well-versed in the law and who is impartial and impartial.
We don't ask you about any political affairs and policies in your country, the DPRK cannot have an army, and in addition to the police, the armed forces can only have armed police forces, and the defense of the DPRK is the responsibility of our national defense forces, and the DPRK pays for the military expenses of the garrison once a year! In terms of diplomacy, the DPRK must be aligned with our country! These are the revised terms, the two adults have signed and stamped the seal of the king, compared to the king and the king, there should be no objection, otherwise the king would not have written a blood book and asked them to bring your seal!
