Concubine Min didn't speak, didn't nod, but obviously, Min Yonghui's words hit her heart, the Qing State is no longer a big country that doesn't care much about the vassal states like before, the Li Dynasty has been the previous kings for hundreds of years, China, whether it is the Ming State or the Qing State, is not very concerned about North Korea, unless those are the most dangerous times, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan attacked, and the Ming Kingdom helped Korea, and later the Qing State rose, first subdued Korea, and Korea changed the target country of tribute, But then the Qing State entered the Central Plains, which was a relief for North Korea, as if it was still the same as before to submit to the Central Plains country, who is the emperor of the Central Plains, this has nothing to do with North Korea, the Qing State was only before entering the customs, squeezed North Korea, and then settled the world, and did not look down on the barren land of North Korea, in general, China for North Korea, under normal circumstances, except for the canonization of the envoy to come, the rest will not come to care about the internal affairs of North Korea, Then North Korea only needs to pinch its nose occasionally to deal with the rude demands of the canonization envoys, such a suzerain, almost at no cost to protect themselves, plus tribute and trade, North Korea benefits a lot.

But now China's attitude towards the subject country and the management model has undergone many changes, before Concubine Min was very worried, the fate of North Korea will be the same as Vietnam, completely become a vassal of the Qing State, now Vietnam, has abolished the previous Vietnamese invented by the Vietnamese themselves, the so-called Vietnamese lord, the slightest can not read any articles written in the language, so all official documents are used in Chinese, the Vietnamese lord can do this, because he grew up in Beijing, almost a complete Chinese, and Concubine Min, But she didn't completely want to take refuge in the Qing country, in her heart, she was still bent on making North Korea strong, and if North Korea wants to become strong, it is impossible to succeed by relying on one country.

The most important Qing state's policy towards the vassal state has undergone a fundamental change, which is what Concubine Min is most worried about, about the comfort of the previous days, especially the Toyotomi Hideyoshi invasion of the dynasty, the Wanli Emperor did not ask North Korea for a penny, so willing to bear the obligation, but will not ask the vassal state for any rights in the eyes of the Joseon, the most lovely wrongdoer.

But now the Qing Dynasty has changed its previous policy, and the Imperial Court has become an important department that is not inferior to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, and the Imperial Court can even decide the survival of a small country in a word, such a prestige is almost impossible to exist in the past, and similar to Vietnam, such a restoration from the Nguyen Dynasty back to the Li Dynasty, this can never happen in the past, the Qing Dynasty's incomparably noble Empress Dowager Cixi is also very concerned about the vassal state, and abolished the national unity of Vietnam, The expulsion of the Spaniards helped the lord of Luzon to regain his throne, and coerced the Dutch, and the Lanfang Kingdom was stable in Tiannan.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said the words "If you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish", and the extremely stupid Bushang Dao State was wiped out alive in front of her eyes, which shows that there has been a huge change in the vassal policy of the Qing State.

"Hey," Concubine Min shook her head weakly, she has always shown herself to be a capable and decisive strong woman in North Korea, and at this time, in the face of her cronies and nephews, Concubine Min finally put down her tough mask and showed a weak and helpless expression, "I am not shocked by the policy of the upper country, but Yuan Shikai is powerful in North Korea, pointing fingers at the affairs of North Korea, as if he is another monarch of the courtyard," her eyes showed a hateful expression, "But, Yonghui, I understand very clearly, If it weren't for Yuan Shikai in Korea, I'm afraid that the arrogance of the Japanese would be even more arrogant, and the Enlightenment Party would have deposed me a long time ago, this is a very dilemma, a dilemma," Concubine Min shook her head and said helplessly, "Without Shangguo, we would have fallen into the clutches of the Japanese a long time ago, but I am very afraid that Shangguo has the intention of annexing Korea, you know, there are already rumors in Shangguo that want to abolish Korea and set up counties!" ”

This is not a point of view that only exists now, "Goryeo and China are of the same language and species, and originally belonged to the same country, but they were divided by the government and the opposition," this is from a cultural point of view, "Shengjing and Korea are only separated by a river," this is from a geographical point of view, "Why does Japan covet Korea, it is nothing more than that Korea is a vassal state of China, and if Korea is a province of China, naturally Japan will not dare to twist the tiger's beard to offend Tianwei." "This is from the analysis of the situation between countries, North Korea, not only Concubine Min, everyone was shocked, if any country has its own script and its own culture and its own set of systems, then it will not be willing to merge into other countries, this was the case in Vietnam in the past, and North Korea is even more so.

But the relationship between Vietnam and the Qing Dynasty was not handled well, which led to the fall of the Nguyen Dynasty, this is a lesson from the past, Concubine Min still has to be vigilant, so she hurriedly sent her nephew Min Yongyi, who valued trust the most, to discuss with Yuan Shikai first, and then went to Tianjin to meet Li Hongzhang, and spent a lot of money to bribe Li Hongzhang's staff, promising that the Beiyang Minister Yamen here would not propose to abolish Korea, and later went to Beijing to secretly meet with the officials of the Imperial Court, which calmed down the rumors this time.

"It's just a means to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, Ma Ma!" Min Yonghui was very unimpressed with Concubine Min's worries, in his opinion, if he could clearly understand the reality that North Korea was a small country, there would be no need to think too much about it, and even he thought that the Qing Kingdom would not want to abolish Lee's Korean state at all. "The most insistent thing of the Kingdom of God is to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, just as the Queen Mother of the Kingdom of God said in the past, 'If you go along with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish', as long as we serve the Kingdom with peace of mind and obey the orders of the Kingdom, the Kingdom of God will not annex our Korea without regard to the morality that everyone in the world adheres to. At this point, the minister can be sure that why there is such a rumor in the kingdom, the minister thinks, cough cough, it is also related to the previous incident with the secret treaty with Russia, and the kingdom is expressing his dissatisfaction. ”

In fact, the Korean state is very proud of its 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and the Korean king Li Xi "is ashamed of submitting to Hua with 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers", and Concubine Min is also very disgusted to hear about "vassals", "submissions", and "especially jealous of China's interference in internal affairs", so she has the intention of uniting other forces to contain the Qing state.
