Chapter 166

Since then, the two armies have fallen into a brief phase of confrontation.

However, Toyotomi Shixu hurried to train the 30,000 horse-mounted infantry south of the Yalu River.

……。

When Wang Zhao was killed and the news of Goryeo's demise was returned, Baili Wuji had a rumor that the Goryeo envoy and the two Goryeo princesses had met him.

When the Goryeo envoy learned about it, he cried with the two Goryeo princesses in the court.

Tingwei was about to step forward to stop drinking, but Baili Wuji raised his hand to stop him.

The hundred officials of the Ming Kingdom have been standing there listening to this heart-piercing cry, from the disgust at the beginning, slowly rising to pity, and then to the last emotion.

The officials of the Ming Kingdom are all the best among the people, and their minds must be more lively than ordinary people, and they slowly experience the pain of the loss of the country, and they even guessed the reason why Baili Wuji did not stop it, which is a warning to the officials of the Ming Kingdom.

After a long time, the three of them were tired of crying and quieted down.

Baili Wuji said: "The Goryeo Kingdom is dead, you have no country to vote for now, homeless, I have mercy on you, just stay in Jinling Mansion." ”

The Goryeo envoy discussed with the two Goryeo princesses in a whisper and said, "But I ask the emperor of the Ming Kingdom to send troops to restore my land." ”

After speaking, the three of them knocked on the ground.

Baili Wuji stopped: "You should know that the Liao army is huge, how can I let the blood of the soldiers of the Ming State be shed in a foreign land for the restoration of Goryeo?" ”

The Goryeo envoy was speechless, and only pleaded there.

But when I saw one of the two Goryeo princesses, he stood up and said, "My father admired the Central Plains the most in his life, and often told us about the six years of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, when Goguryeo and Baekje joined forces to attack Silla. Silla sent envoys to beg for aid from Tang, and Gojong sent troops to attack Goguryeo and Baekje. Baekje, on the other hand, begged for aid from the Wa Kingdom (Japan) until the third year of Yongshuo (663). Tang general Liu Renliang defeated the 200,000 Japanese army that came to Baekje's aid with 40,000 Tang troops at the mouth of the Baekjiang River, breaking Baekje, and its king Ben Goguryeo. In the first year of Zongzhang (668), the Tang army captured Pyongyang and destroyed Goguryeo. The Central Plains is so powerful, how can they be afraid of the Khitans? I also hope that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will be merciful, sympathize with the pain of our country, and restore my Goryeo. Now the imperial uncle and his entire clan have been killed by Fuso, and only two sisters of the Goryeo royal family have survived, as if one day. The Ming Kingdom can help us restore the country, and we hereby swear that Goryeo will forever be a vassal to the Ming Kingdom. ”

When the officials of the Ming Kingdom heard this, they were all moved.

Baili Wuji didn't expect a Fanbang woman to have such impassioned words.

But this can't affect the decision that Baili Wuji has already made.

Baili Wuji said: "Goryeo has perished. Now it is occupied by Fuso. If I want to take it, why should I take it, and if I don't want to take it, what good will it be? ”

The Goryeo woman said: "If His Majesty of the Ming Kingdom takes the homeland of Goryeo, it is indeed not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the rule, our royal family has ruled Goryeo for decades, which can be described as deep-rooted. If Your Majesty Ming returns to our land, we will raise our arms and shout. The people follow it, but if the Ming Kingdom wants to occupy the rule, the people will resist it, and I hope that His Majesty the Ming Kingdom will think twice. ”

A little Fanbang woman has such insight, it's really not too late, and she has no jealousy.

"I still can't let the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom shed blood for your words."

"If Your Majesty asks for anything, please make it clear, and we will not obey."

"Hmm......." Baili Wuji was contemplative, but his eyes drifted to Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian.

Xu Shiming got the signal and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty think twice, Goryeo is far away, and the border between Ming and Goryeo has never bordered, if you want to send troops, you can only rely on boats to transport, the difficulty of supply can be imagined, and the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops." ”

Sun Guangxian was not to be left behind, and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming State has a huge cost of sending troops, Goryeo is poor, and the country's annual income is not enough to compensate for the needs of the Ming army. ”

"Your Majesty Mingguo, we are willing to bear the cost of the Ming army's troops, two years if the income is not enough in one year, and three years if it is not enough in two years, until it is paid off, please allow Your Majesty Mingguo."

Hey, after all, it's young, so I can't wait. Baili Wuji was funny in his heart.

Xu Shiming turned around and asked, "What do you say, what do you rely on?" ”

The princess of Goryeo was stunned, indeed, now that she has no home and country, how can she have any evidence? ”

The three of them exchanged words for a long time, and the princess replied, "We can set up a certificate to prove it." ”

Sun Guangxian laughed and said: "It's ridiculous, how can a thin piece of paper be enough?" ”

The three of Gaoli were helpless and looked at Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji reluctantly spoke: "I have an idea, it just depends on whether you are willing to wait?" ”

The three of Gao Li hurriedly replied like people who had fallen into the water and picked up a straw: "Your Majesty Mingguo, please say, we will all obey each other." ”

Baili Wuji said: "I will send troops to help you wait for the restoration of Goryeo land, as a certificate, the Ming State will garrison troops in Goryeo, and the Goryeo Kingdom will bear the military expenses of the troops and the garrison, how about it?" ”

After the three of them bowed their heads and discussed.

The Goryeo princess asked, "Your Majesty of the Ming Kingdom, I don't know how many troops the Ming Kingdom will garrison?" Will it interfere in the internal affairs of the government? ”

Baili Wuji said: "Fifty thousand people." Only garrison troops, do not participate in the internal affairs of Goryeo, Goryeo is still the Goryeo you are waiting for, the Ming garrison is only for the smooth recovery of military expenses, when will Goryeo pay off, when will I withdraw the army. ”

Princess Goryeo said: "We will agree, but I don't know how to calculate the military expenses of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"You can negotiate with Xu and Sun Er about this matter. I have one more request. ”

"Your Majesty Mingguo, please speak."

"After the restoration of Goryeo, he is not allowed to be the emperor, but only the king, and he is a Ming vassal state, and the king of Goryeo must be canonized by the emperor of the Ming state."

After another discussion, the princess of Goryeo said, "We will agree." ”

Indeed, at this time, there is basically nothing that cannot be promised, the Goryeo Kingdom is dead, the royal family has been slaughtered, maybe there are only these two princesses left, if you want to restore the country, what else can you bargain for except to agree.

"Hmm, for the sake of the friendship between the Ming Kingdom and Goryeo, I decided to marry the two princesses to the Ming State Special Operations Army Commander Bai Likang as his wife, I don't know what the three of them want?"

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Baili Wuji's words have exceeded the endurance of the three of them.

The three of them discussed and agreed to a series of requirements in front of Baili Wuji, and they also had the wish that the two princesses would become the concubines of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, so they agreed, just imagine, even the people are yours, and those foreign things should be regarded as dowries. But now the two princesses want to marry the general of the Ming Kingdom and ask for a wife, and they are two of them at the same time, which is unacceptable.

Baili Wuji knows that this is not in line with the etiquette law, and it is not inconsistent with the etiquette for the princess of Fanguo to marry the general of the Ming Kingdom, but it is not in line with the etiquette for the two princesses to marry the same person. It's really too difficult.

Naturally, the hundred officials of the Ming Kingdom would not cause chaos at this time, and they had long hoped that His Majesty would be able to solve these two women of the Fan Kingdom as soon as possible.

But I didn't want to, after the three of them discussed, Princess Goryeo replied: "Your Majesty Mingguo, we have a deep sisterhood, and it is a blessing for Your Majesty to marry one person together, and we will just agree." (To be continued......)
