The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Mu Tianyong smiled wryly and said.

"Not good!"

"Since the fall of Kunming, I have been living in hiding."

"It wasn't until the emperor returned from overseas and regained Daming that I ended my days like a mouse crossing the street!"

"Be able to be an aboveboard person!"

Li Dingguo nodded slightly.

He could imagine what kind of life Mu Tianyong and others lived when they fled.

That kind of panic can really drive people crazy!
Immediately afterwards, Mu Tianyong cryptically expressed that he wanted to restore the title of Duke Qian of the Mu family, and hoped that Li Dingguo could help.

Li Dingguo heard the words, after pondering for a while, he spoke.

"Well... this king can help you to ask His Majesty, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not!"

Mu Tianyong heard the words, but said very excitedly.

"Whether it is successful or not, I must thank the prince for his help!"

Li Dingguo nodded slightly.

"Then, for the next few days, you will stay at Prince Jin's Mansion..."

Li Dingguo really didn't dare to promise whether Zhu Hongyu would agree to the restoration of Duke Qian's title.

Because, according to the usual practice, the Duke of Qian State wants to be in the southwest of Shizhen.

It's really hard to say that the emperor was reluctant to seal off Yunnan again.

Although the emperor might not agree, he might not refuse either, so Li Dingguo decided to sell Mu Tianyong a favor and let his family settle down in the palace first.

Let's talk about future things later!
……

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong's house was crowded with people.

Numerous former members of the Zheng family came to Zheng Chenggong's mansion to pay New Year's greetings in turn.

Li Dingguo has many old ministries, but Zheng Chenggong's old ministries are more than Li Dingguo's old ministries.

It can even be said that in the current Daming Navy, eighty to ninety percent of the people have a direct or indirect relationship with the Zheng family.

It can be seen that Zheng's power is at its peak!
That is to say, Zheng Chenggong, the person in charge of the Zheng family, is half-retired. Otherwise, it is really unknown whether the emperor will do anything to the Zheng family.

Throughout the ages, in the face of people or things that may challenge their own power, no superior person will be truly benevolent.

Zheng Chenggong met his old minions in the study, chatted with them, and had a banquet. The atmosphere was very warm.

After everyone left at night, Zheng Chenggong continued to study the regulations on compulsory education given to him by Zhu Hongyu.

Start to imagine how to promote compulsory education in Nanjing!
Zheng Chenggong has now regarded compulsory education as the top priority in his life for the rest of his life.

Now Zheng Chenggong belongs to the family, and he doesn't care about military affairs at all. Government affairs are not ordered by the emperor, so he hides whenever he can.

As long as it is something the emperor ordered, he will definitely do it with all his heart!
It can be said that he is well versed in the way to protect himself!
……

Guanzhong, Chang'an City!

Liu Xuanchu traveled all the way, and finally returned to Chang'an after a long absence after the New Year's Eve.

After arriving in Chang'an, he ran to see Wu Sangui non-stop.

Then, he repeated to Wu Sangui the conditions of the peace talks on Daming's side.

"My Majesty, the meaning of the Ming Dynasty is that if peace talks are to be held, the Emperor must relinquish the imperial title, abolish the Qing Dynasty title, abolish the Aixinjueluo national surname, and profess a minister to the Ming Dynasty to join the Daming suzerain-vassal system, and withdraw from the imperial title. Guanzhong Han..."...

Liu Xuanchu knelt on the ground and relayed Zhu Hongyu's request bit by bit.

Wu Sangui sat on the throne with the beauty in his arms.

After listening to Liu Xuanchu's report, the expression on his face changed slightly, as if a little unwilling.

He has struggled for most of his life, and finally became an emperor, but now he has to lose the title of emperor, so he is naturally not reconciled.

As for giving up the title of the Qing Dynasty, abolishing the national name of Aixinjueluo, and professing a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui did not resist much.

Before he proclaimed himself emperor, the reason why he called himself Aixinjueluo Sangui and continued to use the name of the Qing Dynasty was only because of the strength of the Manchu Qing.

He, Wu Sangui, wanted to steal the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty, that's all!

To say that Wu Sangui has any feelings for Daqing is pure nonsense.

Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with the abolition of the title of Daqing and the abolition of Aixinjueluo's surname.

And it's nothing to surrender to Daming!

It's not that he, Wu Sangui, has never been a courtier of Daming. His family has followed Daming for several generations, and now he just joined Daming again.

Wu Sangui didn't think there was anything wrong!
As for the matter of abandoning Guanzhong, Wu Sangui had thought about it a long time ago. He was ready to embark on the Western Expedition, so he must have already made plans to abandon Guanzhong.

Under everyone's gaze, Wu Sangui finally said "yes"!
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Sangui took a deep breath and continued to ask Liu Xuanchu.

"How is the discussion with Daming about the arms deal going? Has Daming ever let go?"

After fighting against the Ming army so many times, he can certainly realize what the biggest advantage of the Ming army is compared to the Guan Ning army!
In terms of training and tactics, although there is a huge gap between the two sides!

But the gap in this aspect is deep-seated, and it is not so obvious on the battlefield.

But the gap between the two sides in terms of weapons is quite obvious!

The armor of the Ming army is much lighter than that of the Guanning army, but its protective performance is much higher.

The swords of the Ming army are even sharper, basically all of them are made of fine iron or steel, which is in stark contrast to the ordinary swords of the Guan Ning army.

Not to mention firearms!
Regardless of range or power, the artillery of various calibers of the Ming army can almost crush the Guan Ning army.

So far, Wu Sangui has not figured out the specific principles of Daming's firearms!
All he knew was that he was beaten up on the battlefield really badly!

Therefore, Wu Sangui was not generally interested in the arms trade with Daming.

When Liu Xuanchu heard the words, he spoke.

"Reporting to the emperor, the Son of Heaven has agreed to carry out arms trade with the Qing Dynasty!"

"However, it is required that the Qing side must use cattle, sheep and horses to pay, and the arms trade can only officially start after the Qing Dynasty withdraws from Guanzhong and officially begins the Western Expedition."

Wu Sangui nodded slightly when he heard this, with a happy expression on his face.

The Guan Ning army was already good at fighting, and with the firearms provided by Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be a random killing if they went to the Western Regions?
As long as the Qing Dynasty can gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, Wu Sangui can barely be regarded as a glorious ancestor! …

Thinking about this, Wu Sangui asked.

"How much is Daming's asking price?"

Liu Xuanchu said.

"Da Ming's asking price is that one adult qualified war horse, two cows, and ten sheep can be exchanged for a set of individual equipment for the Ming infantry."

"This includes a set of breastplate, a musket, a saber, and a helmet, as well as corresponding bayonets, bullet bags, water bottles, engineer shovels, and first aid materials and equipment needed for first aid on the battlefield...etc! "

The cost of a set of individual equipment in Ming Dynasty is around 30 silver dollars!

But this is the cost of the self-use version, and the cost of the foreign trade version is even lower, about 20 silver dollars.

And the price of a qualified war horse that has not been castrated is at least hundreds of silver dollars.

Although ordinary horses can be bought for only two or thirty taels of silver, war horses and ordinary horses are two completely different species.

Hundreds of silver dollars can be considered cheap!
After all, civilian vehicles and military vehicles are completely different!

To Da Ming, exchanging a set of individual soldier equipment for foreign trade for a war horse is definitely a very worthwhile thing.

This thing is not bad!
Of course, if Wu Sangui chooses to use cattle and sheep in exchange for equipment, Daming can also accept it.

After hearing this, Wu Sangui nodded slightly.

"The price is not outrageous. It seems that Daming really has the sincerity to do business with us."

As if suddenly remembering something, Wu Sangui asked.

"How much is Daming's asking price for artillery?"

Compared with individual equipment and weapons such as muskets, Wu Sangui is actually more about artillery.

Because, he was really psychologically shadowed by Daming's heavy artillery on the battlefield!

Liu Xuanchu said.

"For the new Frang machine rapid-fire gun, Daming's asking price is three war horses!"

"For three catties of small-caliber field artillery, Daming's asking price is five horses!"

"For five catties of field artillery, Daming's asking price is ten horses!"

"For ten catties of field artillery, Daming's asking price is thirty war horses!"

"For a fifteen-pound field cannon, Daming's asking price is fifty horses!"

"For a 150-pound siege artillery, Daming's asking price is [-] horses!"

"Or you can pay with equivalent cattle and sheep!"

"..."

As for the [-]-jin and [-]-jin siege guns with larger calibers, Daming did not sell them.

Of course, even if Daming wants to sell it, Guan Ningjun won't be able to use it!

Because these heavy artillery, which hit [-]-jin and [-]-jin shells, can easily weigh tens of thousands of catties.

It is very troublesome to transfer!
Just relying on the roads in the Western Regions, there is no condition for the transfer of these heavy artillery.

The heavy siege artillery that Daming usually used himself was usually a [-]-jin heavy artillery, and less than [-]-jin.

Fifty catties generally belong to fortress guns or naval guns!
Wu Sangui gasped. If the price of Da Ming's individual equipment was reasonable, then the price of the cannons was really fucking cheap.

"A Franc machine gun dares to ask for three war horses, and Daming really dares to ask for the price!"...

Although the Guan Ning army did not have the ability to cast large-caliber heavy artillery, it was even difficult to cast small and medium-caliber field artillery that weighed five catties and ten catties.

But it is still possible to cast a few small-caliber Francois cannons!

On the Guan Ning Army's side, the cost of a Franc cannon is at most a few dozen taels of silver.

But Daming dared to directly call the price to three war horses, that is, 300 taels.

Good guy!
Wu Sangui can only say, you are so fucking black!
When Liu Xuanchu heard the words, he opened his mouth to speak.

"My Majesty, as far as I know, the Fran cannons on Daming's side are completely different from the traditional Fran cannons."

"The processing technology of Daming's new Fran cannon has made a certain breakthrough, and its range, power, accuracy, and rate of fire have all been greatly improved..."

The rear-mounted rapid-fire gun of the Francois machine gun is actually the most test of processing accuracy.

If the processing accuracy is qualified, its power and range may not necessarily be worse than some small-caliber front-mounted guns.

But now Daming, with the help of steam engines and machine tools, the machining accuracy is barely qualified.

Now the rear-loading rapid-fire guns used by Ming Dynasty have gradually replaced the small-caliber front-loading field artillery that is widely equipped in the army.

Of course, the Flang cannon sold by Daming to the Guan Ning Army will certainly not be the version for personal use.

In terms of performance, these foreign trade version of the Frang cannon must be much better than the original Frang cannon, but it is definitely incomparable with the version used by Daming.

When Wu Sangui heard the words, a disbelieving expression appeared on his face!

"Sir, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Wu Sangui asked Liu Xuanchu.

Liu Xuanchu nodded and said.

"These weapons mentioned above, I have seen the experimental scene with my own eyes!"

When I was in Nanjing, in order to promote Daming's ordnance to Liu Xuanchu, Daming's arsenal organized several live ammunition shootings for performances.

Liu Xuanchu had really seen the power of Daming's firearms up close!
Suddenly, Liu Xuanchu added.

"By the way, your majesty, Daming's flower bombs are also for sale."

"It's just that the price is a little higher!"

Wu Sangui's eyes lit up when he heard the words...

Daming's flower bomb, that really left a deep impression on him.

"how much is it?"

Wu Sangui opened his mouth and asked.

When Liu Xuanchu heard the words, he opened his mouth and replied.

"My Majesty, Daming's asking price is one war horse for five flower bombs..."

Wu Sangui gasped again. Obviously, Daming's asking price was very high.

However, in the end Wu Sangui took a deep breath and spoke.

"Forget it, let's buy [-] rounds of flowering ammunition of different types and calibers first!"

Having said all this, Liu Xuanchu was ready to leave.

Wu Sangui stopped Liu Xuanchu again and spoke.

"Sir, I will go back to Nanjing on my behalf and finalize the matter of the general fire trade!"

"Why don't you just finalize the marriage, and when my husband leaves, I'll take my daughter with you!"

"What's more, the master drafted a letter of credence for me, saying that I want the Son of Heaven to bestow a national title!"...

The matter of granting the country title was a solution Wu Sangui came up with after careful consideration.

Because, he felt that if he asked for the title of the country, he could show his surrender to Daming.

The second is to show Zhu Hongyu that although he, Wu Sangui, has surrendered to Daming, he is only a minister, not an internal attachment.

He, Wu Sangui, still wants to retain his autonomy!
It is Wu Sangui's statement!
Liu Xuanchu bowed down to pay homage.

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

After Liu Xuanchu retired, Wu Sangui summoned his two sons to discuss matters in the main hall.

After Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi sat down according to the arrangement, Wu Sangui took a deep breath and spoke.

"According to the news reported by Liu Xuanchu, the peace talks with Daming have been finalized!"

"..."

Wu Sangui recounted the conversation he had just had with Liu Xuanchu to his two sons.

Then, he opened his mouth and ordered.

"The peace talks are finalized, then my Qing Dynasty will immediately start preparing for the Western Expedition..."

"Ying Xiong, have all the caravans sent by the Qing Dynasty to the Western Regions come back? Have they figured out the terrain, roads, water sources, and distribution of various forces in the Western Regions?"

"If my Qing Dynasty wants to launch troops against the Western Regions, it must not fight unprepared battles!"

Wu Sangui fought for half his life, so there is no need to question his military talent.

He is even more aware of what preparations need to be made before the war.

To send troops without knowing the information is to seek death.

After Wu Yingxiong heard the words, he stood up and said.

"Report to Father, the corresponding preparations are almost done!"

"Three caravans have returned, and they each brought back the information needed for our army's westward expedition. With mutual verification, we can ensure that there are no omissions."

Having said that, Wu Yingxiong was silent for a while, and then added.

"However, there were five caravans sent by my Qing Dynasty, but only three came back in the end."

"The remaining two caravans, one was robbed by horse bandits on the grassland, and only two survived."

"The two were detained by the Zhungeer Ministry, and the whole caravan was slaughtered, and no one survived!"

Obviously, Wu Yingxiong was very angry about the caravan.

Although I sent a caravan to go there, I was planning to find out the situation and find out information, so that I can send troops to you next time.

However, I will hit you in the future!

Now I haven't done anything yet, you have robbed my caravan, what does that mean?
Wu Sangui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile.

"The Zhungeer department dares to rob our Qing caravan, it should be cut down!"

Originally, Wu Sangui was still thinking about what reason he could use to justify his Western Expedition.

Now it's all right, the Zhungeer Ministry personally sent him a handle!
What's there to hesitate about?
Fuck him!
Wasn't the excuse used by Mongolia to conquer Khwarazmo back then because Khwarazmo robbed the Mongolian caravan?

Thinking about this, Wu Sangui said.

"Now, let me spare no effort to find a reason for Xizheng!"

As if remembering something, Wu Sangui asked. …

"What is the strength of the Zhungeer Ministry today? If I go to the west in the Qing Dynasty, can I win it all?"

Wu Yingxiong heard the words, stood up and introduced.

"After the death of Batur Huntaiji, his son Seng Ge succeeded to the throne, but none of Seng Ge's brothers accepted him, and civil strife broke out in the Zhungeer tribe."

"Now that the rebellion has just been quelled, the Zhungeer Ministry is at its weakest point!"

"If I send troops to the Western Regions in the Qing Dynasty, I will definitely win the battle."

The Jungar Khanate is very cowhide, and was even able to fight back and forth with the Manchus in history.

The Qing Dynasty once went through the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Qian, that is, a period of time when the national power of the Manchu Dynasty was the strongest, and it took several conquests to completely destroy it.

But that is the Zhungeer Khanate in the future!
The current Zhungeer is not yet a khanate, it is still just a tribe.

Only when Galdan came down from the plateau and got the support of the Fifth Lama to completely unify the entire Western Regions, the Jungar tribe could evolve into the Jungar Khanate.

As for now, the Zhungeer tribe is just an ordinary tribe that has just experienced a wave of civil strife.

Although the strength of the Zhungeer tribe is indeed much higher than that of other nearby tribes, it is still not strong enough.

So, don't look at the fact that Guan Ningjun seems to be doing badly now, but he just can't get along in the East Asian monster room.

If you want to pinch a Zhungeer department, you still have to pinch it with your hands.

Wu Sangui nodded and said.

"Not bad!"

After nodding to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui looked at Wu Yingqi and said.

"The training of the army must be done quickly, and all preparations before the westward expedition must be done!"

"What's more, there is a gap in the current strength of our Qing Dynasty. Before the official westward expedition, it is necessary to conduct another recruitment in Guanzhong to increase the strength of our Qing Dynasty."

Wu Sangui could imagine what a severe test they would face once they started to march west!

In the Western Regions, the land is barren and barren, and there are only a few oases for people to survive in large desert sand dunes.

Once he entered the Western Regions, the unsuitability of the natural environment and the downsizing of the army due to acclimatization were the first problems Wu Sangui had to face.

In addition, it is war attrition!

What you need to know is that once the Guan Ning army enters the Western Regions, it will not be so easy to replenish the army's vacancies.

Although Wu Sangui can pull strong men locally!

However, how much loyalty can these strong men have to Wu Sangui?

If Wu Sangui wants to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, in the final analysis, he still needs to rely on Han talents.

Therefore, in order to deal with possible downsizing in advance, Wu Sangui can only step up military expansion in Guanzhong before the official western expedition.

Recruit more Han Chinese to join the Guan Ning Army!

After explaining to Wu Yingqi, Wu Sangui turned his head and said to Wu Yingxiong.

"Prepare the money, food, and military equipment needed for the army's westward expedition in advance. When preparing materials for the army's westward expedition, we must measure it leniently."

Wu Yingxiong also nodded in agreement, expressing his understanding.

Wu Sangui nodded slightly, then waved his hands to signal that his two sons could leave.

However, Wu Yingqi did not leave, but stood where he was and asked.

"I don't know who my father plans to let Daming marry?"...

Wu Yingqi is not opposed to getting married with Daming, but he has his own views on who should be married.

It's not that Wu Sangui doesn't have a daughter, he and Chen Yuanyuan have a daughter named Wu Yin, who is only ten years old this year.

Wu Yingqi watched his younger sister grow up, so he didn't want to send his younger sister to Nanjing to be married.

It's not that he doesn't like Emperor Ming.

The main reason is that my sister is too young now!
That's why he asked this question today.

Wu Sangui heard the words and spoke.

"Let Xiaoyin go!"

"Since it's a marriage, the status of the marriage must naturally be high enough, and only my daughter can be the one who is worthy of being the Son of Heaven."

Although Wu Sangui was also reluctant to part with his daughter, he was even more unwilling to have another twists and turns in the marriage, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to send his daughter there.

Wu Yingqi asked back.

"But Xiao Yin is only ten years old!"

Wu Sangui nodded and said.

"I know, so I want Xiaoyin to bring a dowry maid!"

"If the servant girl becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, she will be adopted under Xiao Yin's name!"

After pondering for a while, Wu Sangui spoke.

"I remember that there is a daughter named Wu Tu in Guogui's family. She is beautiful and very beautiful. This time, let her accompany Xiaoyin to Nanjing..."

Seeing that Wu Sangui had made up his mind, Wu Yingqi didn't want to say anything else, so he just waved his fists and retreated.

Wu Yingxiong also resigned immediately, and retired together with Wu Yingqi.

……

Outside the pass, Shengjing City!

The New Year's Eve is not only celebrated by the Han people, but also by the Manchus.

Although this year's Shengjing City New Year's Festival is not as prosperous as in the past, the excitement is even better than before.

Because, after my Qing Dynasty organized a wave of blind dates for new and old bannermen, a large number of newcomers chose to get married around this year's New Year's Eve.

The new year's festival and many people getting married made Shengjing City quite lively.

But after the New Year's Eve, the Qing court began to prepare for the Southern Expedition.

A large amount of food and supplies gathered in Shengjing, and the Qing army's heavy army group facing the Liaoxi defense line of the Ming Dynasty was also recalled to Shengjing.

A large number of troops have assembled in Shengjing and are ready to set off in the next year.

With the passage of time, a large amount of food and supplies are also ready to be put in place.

In the second year of Guangfu of Ming Dynasty, and at the beginning of March of the seventh year of Kangxi in Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing army sent troops from Shengjing to North Korea.

And behind the marching army, there are countless Eight Banners nobles and their families accompanying the army.

The thing is obvious, this time the Qing court went south to North Korea, and they didn't plan to go back to Liaodong again!

Those newly entered Eight Banners soldiers had just married wives and had children, and what they were going to face next was Korean soldiers who basically had no combat effectiveness.

So the morale of the army is quite high!

In order to grab enough food for the family members who followed behind them and ensure that their families would not be hungry, these Eight Banners soldiers were absolutely unstoppable in battle.

In early March, troops were dispatched from Shengjing, and in late March they crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea.

On March 27, the Qing army broke through Shuozhou and plundered for three days!
On the third day of April, the Qing army went down to Daguan, massacred the city, and killed all the resisters.

The rear troops were divided into three groups, all the way to Xuanchuan, Cheongju, and Anju, sweeping across the western coast of North Korea. …

Go all the way to Beizhen, Xiangshan line, to Dechuan, the goal is the basin and hills in central Korea.

Finally, go all the way to Xizhou, sweeping across the eastern coast of North Korea!

Although it is said that the Qing army is divided into three groups, the goal is quite clear.

The northern city of North Korea, Pyongyang!

The Qing army was divided into three groups. Except for the soldiers and horses, they did not bring anything, and they were eaten by the enemy all the way...

As long as there is a little resistance, the Qing army will slaughter the city to vent their anger!

Of course, the reason why these Eight Banners soldiers spit out in a big way is to search for enough food for their families.

Because they were advancing lightly, and the Qing army basically had war horses, their advancing speed was quite fast.

One by one, the elite of the Qing army ran around in North Korea, breaking down one by one North Korean soldiers and horses.

The garrisons in various parts of North Korea were haunted by ghosts, and the ghost-like Qing army was beaten into a daze. For a while, they couldn't keep up with the fighting rhythm of the Qing army.

Often, the moment a call for help is received here, the city is already destroyed there. When the support troops are dispatched, they are wiped out on the road almost as soon as they leave the city...

Fortresses of strong cities were breached, and many towns were massacred by the Qing army.

Men, women, old and young, no one stays!
A large amount of grain and money were transported north.

The vanguard of the Qing army was unstoppable. After they cleared all the obstacles ahead, the family members of the Qing army began to prepare for crossing the river.

A piece of bad news keeps coming to Pyongyang!

……

The guard in Pyongyang is named Jin Yuanzhe, and he is one of the confidantes of King Li Wei of Joseon.

He was born in the Kim family in Pyongyang, and although his family background is not as good as that of a big clan like the Andong Kim family, it is not bad.

His younger sister is Li Wei's favorite concubine.

Although Jin Yuanzhe is loyal enough to Li Wei, but in terms of ability, he is a little bit of a hip.

Looking at the bad news that kept coming back from the north, the expression on Jin Yuanzhe's face kept changing.

Cities were destroyed one after another, and the Qing army's soldiers pressed down on the border, which put great pressure on him.

Facing the extremely brutal Qing soldiers and horses, he couldn't even muster up the courage to resist.

"Quick, send someone to send a message to Seoul!"

"Let's say that the Qing army is invading, and Pyongyang is in danger. Please send a large army to reinforce the king!"

Facing the embarrassing situation of soldiers pressing down on the border, Jin Yuanzhe did not take any measures other than asking for help from Seoul.

Even the strengthening of Pyongyang's city defense was only thought of at the suggestion of his subordinates.

Fast horses ran out from Pyongyang City, heading all the way to Seoul in the south.

At the same time, everyone in Pyongyang received the news that the Qing army was suppressing the border, and fell into a great panic.

The people around Pyongyang chose to gather towards Pyongyang, hoping to rely on Pyongyang's strong city to protect themselves.

And those worldly clans left Pyongyang with their slaves and servants together, and returned to their Wubao.

And started to organize private soldiers, ready to use to defend their dock.

The small chaos lives in the city, and the big chaos lives in the countryside.

Compared with Pyongyang, where people are chaotic, these worldly elites obviously have more trust in Wubao, which has been run by their families for generations.

But for Pyongyang City, this is not a good thing!
Because, when these worldly figures retreated to Wubao, they took away a large amount of food, grass, weapons, and young labor from Pyongyang. …

It can be said that it has made outstanding contributions to my Qing Dynasty's victory over Pyongyang.

Facing the actions of the powerful in the world, Jin Yuanzhe, the defender of Pyongyang, did not move at all during the whole process.

Sit back and watch these aristocrats evacuate Pyongyang, leaving only an empty city and countless civilians waiting to be fed.

Because, he himself is a member of the world!
As far as he is concerned, Pyongyang belongs to the king, but Wubao belongs to his family.

Facing the overwhelming Qing army, Jin Yuanzhe's first priority must be to ensure the safety of his own Wubao.

Even if he is Li Wei's confidant, he will never put Pyongyang's safety ahead of his own.

……

Seoul!

The original internal conflicts in North Korea were very serious.

But with the development of large-scale trade with Daming, Daming bought a large number of people from North Korea and imported a lot of high-quality and cheap commodities to North Korea.

On the contrary, the social conflicts in North Korea have been alleviated to a certain extent!

Moreover, after receiving the capital injection from Ming Dynasty, Seoul, the capital of North Korea, became more and more prosperous.

There is a street in Seoul, all of which are shops opened by Ming merchants.

Commodities from all over the world, domestic and foreign, can be found here.

Very prosperous!

Joseon King Li Wei also lived a happy life of his own.

Man Qing lost his temper after being beaten by Da Ming's father, and North Korea had Da Ming's father's protection again.

In addition, the Korean royal family, as well as the aristocrats of the world, all made a lot of money from the trade with Daming.

If there is something to gain, they will naturally obey Li Wei even more.

Li Wei's little life has become more comfortable!
Over the past few days, Li Wei has taken several concubines in succession, accompanied by beauties and wine every day, and even the government affairs have been left behind by him.

If you ignore the poor people at the bottom who are squeezed and can hardly survive, the current North Korea can really be described as prosperous and prosperous.

Well, it can be said to have the same effect as my Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity in the Qing Dynasty!
It wasn't until a military report was sent from Pyongyang in the north to Seoul that the false prosperity of North Korea was broken.

Early this morning, when the city gate was about to open, it was not yet bright.

In the dark sky, there are still dawn stars and the waning moon.

Cui Sijie rolled up his sleeves, shrunk his neck, and staggered to the gate of the city. Obviously, the weather in the early spring morning was still a bit cold.

"Fourth Master, you are here, today is early enough!"

The Chengmen Primary School who was in charge of guarding the city gate came forward and warmly greeted Cui Sijie.

Cui Sijie nodded to Xiaoxiao and said.

"Do something for the nobles, don't you have to go early!"

"We can't afford to delay the affairs of the nobles in case!"

The small school agreed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, what fourth master said is true!"

Cui Sijie was not a big shot, but a steward of the Ming embassy in North Korea.

A native of Seoul, employed by the embassy, ​​is responsible for purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as food and pastries for the embassy every day.

He got up early today, planning to go out of the city as soon as the city gate opened to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables for the embassy.

Because he was successful in doing things, he was appreciated by the ambassador sent by Daming, and he was praised in public many times.

Therefore, Cui Sijie also relied on Daming's momentum to shake up!
Because, everyone in Seoul knows that the worst thing to offend is the officials.

But officials can't afford to offend the family!

However, in front of Daming, no matter whether they are officials or sons of aristocratic families, they must behave obediently with their tails between their legs.

Today's Ming businessmen in North Korea have a bit of the prestige of foreign masters in China in the late Qing Dynasty!

Of course, the Chinese are different from the barbaric white skins in the West. The gentleness and humility of the Chinese are engraved in their bones.

Especially in foreign countries, peace is the most important thing.

Generally, they will not do the kind of thing that bullies the people of other countries at will in other countries!
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were dog legs who relied on foreigners to be self-respecting, relying on the power of foreigners to look at no one.

Now in North Korea, it is natural that there will be no lack of majestic dog legs relying on the power of Ming Dynasty!
