And the benefits of Li Wenji taking the initiative... seem to be more!
Thinking of this, a group of bearded grandpas and uncles immediately took a new look at their knowledge of North Korea's state affairs.
……
"The ministers welcome the Great Emperor to personally lead the Heavenly Soldiers into the court. Long live the Great Emperor, long live, long live..."
"Slave waits to greet the Long Live Lord Shengan!"
At the same time, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also rode his horse across a pontoon bridge and arrived at the land of Daoyi Prefecture in Pyongan, North Korea.
Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong who had been evacuated from Seoul before, as well as a group of North Korean officials headed by the North Korean leader Xu Ji who joined Confucianism, and a group of North Koreans who were said to be the criminals of the Lee family recruited from Ganghwa Island, They knelt down before Emperor Kangxi's horse together.
And behind Emperor Kangxi, there is still an endless army, which is marching mightily.
Kangxi glanced at those North Korean officials who wore official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty and did not shave their hair, and felt unspeakably disgusted in his heart.
Emperor Kangxi also had eyes and ears in North Korea. Of course, he knew that the North Korean country was cautious. Their monarchs and ministers dreamed of going to the Northern Expedition to the Qing Dynasty from the time of their private posthumous Xiaozong!Now it's finally done. If Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong hadn't discovered it in time, Zhu and Qi's army would have crossed the Yalu River by now.
This North Korea... can't stay!
Chapter 535 North Korea is gone!
"Which of you is the leader of North Korea?"
As soon as Kangxi opened his mouth, Xu Ji, who had entered the wrong "Confucianism", knew something was wrong, but he still had to bite the bullet and crawl out, climbed up to the Emperor Kangxi, kowtowed, and said in Chinese: "The minister is the king of Korea. Leader Xu Ji..."
Kangxi snorted, his face was pockmarked and livid, "Xu Ji, do you know why I came all the way to North Korea?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xu Ji was really sweating profusely!
How to answer this?
Can it be said that because the king of Korea rebelled, the emperor was troubled to come from afar to quell the chaos?
In this way, the Korean vassal state must not be withdrawn by Kangxi?Those Li Dynasty children from Jianghua Island must not all be beheaded?This gang of criminals of the Li Dynasty is really unlucky, their good days have never passed, and the decapitation has caught up.
"Deng Guangming!" Kangxi shouted again, "Deng Guangming, tell me, why did I come to North Korea?"
Deng Guangming hurriedly got up and went out, trotted all the way to Kangxi, and then knelt down again, "If you go back to the emperor, you had to lead troops into the court to put down the rebellion because the king of North Korea Li Xuan was rebellious, colluded with hypocrisy, and plotted rebellion. !"
Kangxi snorted again: "North Korea has been my Daqing vassal state since Tiancong's reign, and has been favored and protected by my Daqing for more than [-] years. How does my Qing treat Korea? Is Korea grateful? Erguo Not only did he not appreciate the grace of the heavenly court, but he also secretly colluded with the remnants of the hypocrisy, plotting the Northern Expedition, trying to take advantage of the chaos in the Qing Dynasty, and plotting against our Daqing country... Such chaotic ministers and thieves, what is the use of keeping them? Come, pass on my will , from now on, the Korean vassal state will be withdrawn and the Koryo province will be established!"
When Kangxi's words came out, not only Xu Ji and the North Korean officials who came with Xu Ji were dumbfounded, but even a group of Qing officials stationed in North Korea were also taken aback.
It is very likely that Zhu and Qi have arrived in Asan now!
However, the pro-Ming forces in North Korea are already strong. Almost all the officials of the North Korean court stayed in Seoul. Only then went to Haizhou to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty... The people of North Korea are so popular, even if the Qing Dynasty tries hard to buy it, it may not be able to save much, and now they are withdrawing from the vassal state and the county. This is to send all the Koreans to the false side push?
If all the North Koreans voted for Ming Dynasty, would the Korean War continue?
However, the Kangxi Dynasty's will to withdraw the Korean vassal state was very firm and could not be shaken!
Because he had to create an excuse for the Qing soldiers below to rob!
If Kangxi did not withdraw the vassal state and the prefectures and counties, but supported a puppet king, would the heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty rob or not?
If you don't grab it, wouldn't it be a loss for the people below to come here after all their hard work?
The current Qing Dynasty does not have the financial resources to pay the army as many as 30 in full... Although the land is divided, the population of the Qing Dynasty is too small now, and there is not enough labor to help plant the land, so the old and new The soldiers of the Eight Banners have lived relatively poorly in the past two years...
This time, the people under Kangxi's big army are willing to come here, isn't it because they want to grab some?
And Kangxi is a shameful emperor... He has been the emperor since he was a child, and has always been praised by others, but he was bullied by Oboi a little, and he quickly found the place back.
So Kangxi really couldn't do the thing of robbing his own territory with soldiers, so he had to find a way to force the North Koreans.
Now the country of Korea is withdrawn first, and Koryo Province is set up instead.
It’s fine if Ping’an, Hamgyong, and Huanghai under the rule of the Qing Dynasty are reversed.If they don't rebel, then they will shave their hair and change their clothes. If they don't rebel, they have to send Dalu Huachi down to get the first night power!
Having made up his mind, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Minister of the South Study Room... drafted an edict, issued an edict, and declared it to the world... North Korea is gone now!"
……
Asan, October 25.
The sound of the gong is loud, and the horseshoe wins.With the sound of the Korean evasive voice sounding everywhere, Li Wenji's chariot and horse team, who knows the state affairs of North Korea, passed through the valley of Ya.Kneeling on both sides of the official road were Korean civilians wearing bamboo hats and white clothes—they were all building infrastructure for the Ming army in the Ya Valley.
On both sides of the official road, there were many soldiers in brand-new blue military uniforms, all carrying bayonet-mounted flintlock guns, standing guard at five steps, one post and ten steps and one whistle, without moving a muscle.
Li Wenji, who knows the state affairs of North Korea, is sitting in a very large two-wheeled carriage... This carriage is the special carriage of the king of Joseon. The last time she rode it was with her father, King Xianjong. It was a long time ago , the memory is a bit fuzzy.
And now, she actually became the owner of this car... But she also knew that she couldn't sit in this car for too long, because she was a woman.
Although Li Wenji was young and ignorant, her mother Wang Dafei Jin and her grandmother Ciyi, Wang Dafei Zhao are still alive.Of course they will tell her that the future of this authority who knows North Korea's state affairs is quite worrying.
There were no queens in the history of North Korea and Goryeo, but there were three queens in Silla earlier.
But these three queens are all unmarried all their lives, have no chance to leave children, and cannot enjoy family happiness.
And Li Wenji knew that she might not even be able to compare with these three Silla queens, because there were many descendants of the Li dynasty, but they were scattered all over the place and not in Seoul.
Once the situation is stable, her power to know state affairs will come to an end... And because she was the nominal "first sister" of North Korea, she will not be able to marry in the future, and the best future is Qingdeng Ancient Buddha , This is the rest of my life.
But how could Li Wenji accept such a fate?
And she herself didn't have the strength to change her fate against the sky, so she wanted to embrace the thickest thigh in the world... But when she got closer to that thigh, her heart somehow became stronger and stronger... Jump faster and faster, as if there is a deer thumping in the chest.
All kinds of weird thoughts came to my mind, and I was a little upset.
When she was upset, the carriage she was riding in stopped suddenly, and then heard the sound of musical instruments blowing and beating, and at the same time, several trumpets sounded.In the ear, there is a loud and clear Chinese shout: "Quan knows the state affairs of North Korea, Ming'an, the Lord has arrived..."
Then there was another shout: "I invite the right to know the state affairs of North Korea, Mr. Ming'an, to enter the palace!"
Then the curtain of the carriage that Li Wenji was riding was lifted, and there was a gust of cold wind in front of her. Li Wenji, who was a little distracted, shivered, and immediately regained her senses and looked outside the carriage. What caught her eyes was a low wall made of straw bags. and a wooden fence, and then she saw two open gates.There was also a band of Chuicuidada standing at the door, and several officials of the new Ming Dynasty in purple, red and blue official uniforms without patching, and black gauze caps.
Leader Song Shilie and Zuo Yizheng Yin Kai approached at this time, Song Shilie said to Li Wenji who was in the carriage, "His Royal Highness Quan Zhiguo, your carriage is too big to enter Yashan Palace."
Yin Kai had been to this simple bastion built in a hurry before, and knew that the space inside was not very big, so he said to Li Wenji: "Your Highness, the Yashan Palace is not very big. Once you enter the gate of the palace wall, it is a hut hall. Daming Jianguo lived there."
"Ah, Daming's supervisor lives in a thatched cottage?" Li Wenji looked a little surprised.
"This is the king of entrepreneurship!" Song Shilie felt a little emotional, "Your Highness, let's go and pay a visit soon!"
"Okay!" Li Wenji nodded, and then got out of the carriage.
At this moment, on the wall of this simple bastion known as Yashan Palace, Zhu and Qi were watching Li Wenji coming out of the carriage with Emperor Hu De.
Seeing Li Wenji, who was dressed in plain white, get out of the carriage, and then walked into the gate of Asan Palace with a sad face surrounded by a group of North Korean officials, Zhu Heqi whispered: "Is she really willing to ask herself to withdraw from the feudal kingdom? "
Emperor Hu De smiled and said: "Yes, she is willing! She is sincere to the king, to Daming..."
Zhu Hechi nodded, "It's really a surprise!"
Chapter 536 Opening up territories and opening up land, the salary increase is really nice!
Asan Palace, thatched palace.
Zhu Heqi finally took a closer look at the little girl Li Wenji at a relatively close distance.
This little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, of course her body hasn't grown, but her facial features are as beautiful as in the painting, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry mouth, and skin like creamy fat...Compared to Da Boling's "" "Big beauty" is too far away in some places, but those small and delicate softness also have the characteristics of oriental beauties.
After another four or five years, when the time comes, I still don't know what it will be like?
"Your Majesty, our country is in great trouble. The eldest son of the Li family was slaughtered for the violent purge of the barbarians. There is really no one who can be a king. I have no choice but to know the state affairs as a woman, but my talent is weak. Difficult to do..."
It was Li Wenji who was crouching at the feet of Zhu Heqi, crying and complaining. The little girl burst into tears when she said that she was sad. The floor was all wet.
The North Korean ministers who followed Li Wenji also shed tears. Everyone cried bitterly, as if the country was about to perish... This "withdrawal" is not the subjugation of the country. Is it necessary to cry like this?
Zhu Heqi looked at Li Wenji sympathetically, waiting for her to say the most important sentence... Only after he said that sentence can he go to comfort the little girl!
"Concubine, concubine Li Wenji, I implore His Royal Highness King Ming, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, to withdraw from the Korean vassal state and set up counties. From then on, all the three thousand miles of Haidong will be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that tens of thousands of people in North Korea will become the people of the emperor, and they will always be blessed by heaven. .
If Your Majesty agrees to my concubine's request, I would like to become a nun and become a nun. I will light up the ancient Buddha and pray for Your Majesty and the great Ming Dynasty..."
After saying this, Li Wenji, who was already sobbing, took out the upper form written in the name of Quanzhi North Korea's state affairs tremblingly, and held it high above her head.
Yan Yuan hurriedly took Li Wenji's upper form, and then handed it over to Zhu Heqi, who was also a little excited... This is a breakthrough!
Although Zhu Heqi now has three parts of the world and holds territories in six provinces, these territories have long been the basic territory of China, and they cannot be regarded as opening up territories.
Withdrawing the Korean vassal state and setting up provinces, counties and counties is a real opening up of the territory!
From now on, Ming Dynasty and North Korea will always be one and will never be separated again.
This credit will be firmly remembered by generations to come.
"Wen Ji, you are the hero of my Daming, and the hero of my Zhu Heqi...Your contribution will never be forgotten by Daming, and I will never forget it!" Zhu Heqi's tone was also a little excited, and he paused After a pause, he calmed down, and said again: "Wen Ji, you are a nun or something, don't say any more, you will be the princess of my Daming from now on! Your title is Lord Ming'an, right?"
"Yes." Li Wenji replied.
Zhu Hechi nodded: "Ming'an...Daming Guotai Minan!
This title is good and can be kept.However, one lord is not enough to raise credit, only Princess Ming An can cover some of the credit you have done for Daming, so let me confer you the title of Princess Ming An of Da Ming!
Your princess is different from other princesses. Her status and salary are the same as those of a prince, and she can be hereditary... If a son inherits the throne, she can be renamed the King of Han and guard Seoul. "
"My concubine thanked Lord Long En." Li Wenji hurriedly kowtowed.
Zhu Heqi said again: "Ming An, don't rush to thank you, I still have a big reward to give you... But you are still young and not suitable to accept it. How old are you this year?"
"My concubine is 14 years old this year." Li Wenji replied.
Zhu Heqi nodded, "14 years old is too young, how about I reward you when you reach your full age?"
Li Wenji seemed to have guessed what Zhu Hechi's reward was?He didn't agree immediately, but raised his head and looked at Zhu Heqi with a blushing face.
Zhu Heqi's appearance should be put in the 21st century, it is not "Korean wave", not "fresh meat", just a vicious bearded uncle, looking like he wants to bite someone.
But in the seventeenth century, this kind of honor was quite attractive to women. Da Boling didn't like it very much, and Qiu Shuzhen also thought that Zhu Heqi was majestic!
While Li Wenji grew up in the North Korean court, she saw people who looked like "Korean wave" and "fresh meat" every day, but they were all eunuchs.
So in her eyes, Zhu Hechi looked like a good man who was also "fierce and high-spirited".
"How?" Zhu Heqi asked with a smile, "Are you willing to agree?"
"Hmm..." Li Wenji pursed her lips, hummed lightly, and bowed down again.
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Heqi smiled and nodded, looking very happy, "Ming An, I will tell you about the salary of the Prince of Ming... Although the current new Ming has inherited the orthodoxy of the previous Ming, it has also abolished There are many maladministrations, among which is the maladministration of the kings whose salaries are too generous.
But today's Daming, besides the widow and the Supreme Heavenly King, has only one Tang king, who is the sixth younger brother of the widow, and also a hereditary prince.His annual salary is ten thousand silver dollars!Ming An, from now on your salary will be the same as his, ten thousand silver dollars! "
"Ten thousand silver dollars?" Li Wenji seemed to have no idea about silver dollars, so she asked curiously, "A lot?"
"Your Highness," Song Shilie took the question, his voice trembling a little, "1000 silver dollars are equivalent to [-] million copper coins, and you can buy about [-] shibai rice."
"Ten thousand shi white rice..."
Li Wenji felt like being hit by happiness.
The standard of salary in North Korea is very low, and the maharaja with the highest official title is of course the highest salary in North Korea, with an annual income of 32 shi per meter and 110 pieces of cloth.If it is all converted into white rice, it is 110 three stones.However, one stone of North Korea is more than one stone of Ming Dynasty, and [-] three North Korean stones are equivalent to about [-] stones of Ming Dynasty.But these two hundred shi are not white rice, but a combination of medium rice and brown rice.
In addition, North Korean officials can also get job fields, and the maharajah can get about 220 knots (six or seven thousand acres) of job fields.However, these jobs are not completely owned or controlled by the maharajah, but can only be collected according to the standard of one knot and four fights, which is equivalent to 88 akashi rice, plus the previous two hundred akashi, a year's income Less than three hundred Akashi...
This is the standard of a "majesty", not something that Princess Ming An (she was a princess in North Korea) could obtain.
And as soon as Zhu Hechi made a move, he gave Princess Ming An a salary equivalent to thirty times that of the North Korean Maharaja... This salary increase really skyrocketed.In the future, if Princess Ming An wants to buy luxury goods from Da Ming, she no longer has to worry about running out of money!
"I thank Lord Long En!" After Princess Ming An came to her senses, she happily thanked her again.
And as Zhu Heqi announced the amount of "[-] silver dollars", the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cheerful.
Of course, these North Korean officials know that Ming officials are all "highly paid"... But here, the Maharaja only has an income of about [-] Mingshi a year, which is estimated to be less than [-] in silver dollars, and only a few dozen yuan a month. .
In today's Daming, this income is almost the standard income of an eighth-rank official.
Zhu Heyi also sensed everyone's thoughts, and immediately smiled and said: "All North Korean officials who follow Princess Ming'an will be transferred to Ming Dynasty officials...but the rank and position must be re-determined. As for the salary, of course it is the same as It’s the same as the Ming officials at the same level. Now the official salaries set by the new Ming Dynasty are relatively generous, so after you become officials of the Ming Dynasty, your income should increase several times or even ten times!”
When the two classes of high-ranking officials below heard that they could increase their salaries by so much, they would immediately taste Ming's... This is attached, it's really a bit late!
Thinking of this, someone cheered immediately: "Long live Daming! Long live King Ming..."
Then there was a jubilation.
Seeing this scene, Zhu and Qi also laughed, but they thought in their hearts: "Don't be too happy too soon, ten times the salary must be paid ten times...Under the wise leadership of the widow, North Korea's annual income, In the future, it will have to increase ten times and twenty times!"
Chapter 537 After adding money, it's time to work overtime and queue up to be shot!
"Good news, good news... Great King Jianguo of Ming Dynasty has agreed to the request of our lord Ming'an, the state governor of North Korea, and officially issued an order to withdraw the Korean vassal state and establish a Korean province!"
