Entering Seoul, the triumphant return of the Korean army was warmly welcomed by the people in the city. For ordinary people, they naively thought that the Koreans defeated the invading Qing army and captured the opponent's prince to win the battle, just like Vietnam back then. The common people thought that they had driven away the French with their war god Vo Nguyen Giap, but they didn't know that the people behind the plan were our country's advisory group, just like they didn't know Tami Hidebe at this time.
In fact, not only the common people did not know about Tian Jianxiu, but even many ministers did not know about his existence. After all, few people knew that the Ming army's entry was a secret. Only Li Zhu and a few close ministers knew about it.
When the Korean army entered the city triumphantly, Tian Jianxiu's soldiers and horses were sent away, some of them were in Bukhan Mountain City, and some of them returned to Ganghwa Island, but he personally escorted Dodo into the city.
Although he is not widely known, the king of North Korea is as if he has found a treasure. At this time, he respects, admires and admires him. When he entered the country, he first killed 500 people of the Hunhada tribe to test his skills, and then made a plan to capture Duduo. It was as simple as picking it up by hand. , and these are indeed things that the North Korean army never dared to dream of, and things that cannot be realized in their dreams, but they did it easily.
Are there still people who lament that he was born in Yeluzi? Even Yeluzi is a Yeluzi who has become an immortal. Otherwise, how could he have become more and more courageous in the Ming court's pursuit and interception for more than ten years?
Li Zhu personally welcomed Tian Jianxiu outside the palace gate. This was the greatest courtesy and greatest respect for him!
And Tian Mixiu is worth it!
Since entering Seoul, Duduo has become silent. He has been to Seoul before, but at that time he rode a tall horse and showed off his power, but now he is reduced to a prisoner and comes in in a prison car. The gap in his heart is huge. As you can imagine, looking around, Seoul has not changed much from a few years ago. If it has, it is even more dilapidated!
Is this the Tartar Dog Prince... The people along the street stared at him angrily. Some even picked up the gravel on the roadside and threw it at them. Others came over and spat. There were no scenes of throwing eggs and vegetables in the TV series. I showed up because I was poor and didn’t have that stuff at all, and I didn’t want to throw it away if I had it.
Duduo also visited and stayed in the palace.
Now here he is again, shackled with hands and feet. Li Zhu, who kowtowed to his brothers and acknowledged his father on the bank of the Han River, is now sitting high and staring at him, with endless hatred in his eyes.
"Li Zhu, do you want to rebel?" Duduo looked at Li Zhu with a sneer on his face. Although he was a prisoner, his aura was still there. As he spoke, he looked around and saw several ministers glaring at him: "You also want to rebel? ?”
I wasn’t forced by you! Li Jie's teeth were itching with hatred, but he still maintained his monarch's demeanor and did not yell: "Excessive demands have made our people miserable. We broke the alliance first and sent troops to invade and kill our people. If we don't rebel, will we still be killed..." Li Li began to complain about the various oppressions of the Qing court. Duduo just sneered without any hint of guilt. When Li Li could not stop speaking, he interrupted: "You are not afraid of the danger of national subjugation!"
"It is better to have broken jade than to live in ruins. How is it different from the country being subjugated if North Korea is squeezed out by you and the people are deprived of life?" Li Zhu scolded sternly: "This large-scale war has nothing to do with rebellion, but only concerns survival. I do not want to go to war with you. , just seeking symbiosis..."
In the palace, a Korean king and a Manchu king were shouting at each other in Chinese. Duduo spoke fiercely, accusing Li Jie of violating the oath of alliance and rebelling, which would lead to the destruction of the country. Li Jie rebuked the Qing government for going too far in bullying others, and he himself I can't bear it anymore, and I made it clear that I don't want to go to war with the Qing Dynasty. I only want to protect myself and the people. In other words, I am no longer a son. If you want, we can still be a country of brothers. If you don't agree, if you beat me, Then I will fight hard. Anyway, I will die. If Ning Yuan dies standing, he will never die on his knees!
Li Zhuo has been trying to reason and Xiaozhi. After all, he knows his own weight. If the Qing court really sends troops again, he will definitely die, so he can make peace if he can. He doesn't want to ask for more. Take the opportunity to destroy the current alliance and return from the sect to the alliance of brothers. This way you can protect yourself without completely falling out, and it can also allow the Qing government to go back to the deal from getting nothing for free. In other words, giving away for free is not a good idea. Okay, you can trade if you want.
But Duduo kept insulting, teasing, ridiculing, humiliating... In fact, he was just venting his anger, because being captured and imprisoned was too humiliating, so he needed to vent his emotions, but there was also a feeling of sadness in his heart. , he knew that the final result might really be what Li Zhu wanted.
Although he thought that once he returned alive, he would lead a large army to wipe out North Korea, but he knew in his heart that if it had happened in previous years, it would have happened, but now... the internal fighting in Shenyang is in full swing, and the Ming army in Jinzhou is watching eagerly. If they press forward step by step, there will be no troops to re-conquer North Korea at this time. Once the troops are divided, it will give the Ming army an opportunity, and they will definitely take advantage of it.
Also, once a war breaks out with North Korea at this time, it will be equivalent to having an additional enemy and losing a supply partner, which will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire!
Thinking about this, it is desolate. I think back when I was in the Qing Dynasty, I could hit whoever I wanted. I could go and come when I wanted. I could enter the pass and rob the Ming court. It was just like going on an outing. Send troops to fight North Korea and win every time you fight!
But now...
Of course, Li Zhu also knew that the hysterical Dodo in front of him was venting his emotions, so he did not retaliate no matter how much Dodo insulted him. When he was really tired of being scolded, he asked someone to take Dodo away to calm down, and with him. Longgu Da was imprisoned together. I believe that Longgu Da’s calm analysis would allow him to see the situation clearly.
Negotiations have always relied on strength. Li Zhu wanted to break away from the Qing court and return to the Brotherhood from Zongfan. However, he did not have much strength, but he had some confidence. Part of this confidence came from the troops secretly sent by the Ming court. The other part comes from the current situation!
The Qing court was in dire straits internally, and was held back by the Ming court on the outside. It was completely powerless against North Korea. In addition, he had thousands of Qing troops and a prince and a minister captured in his hands. These were all bargaining chips, and he knew better that in this situation The key point is how important Prince Duduo Duoduo Ergon is. He is his brother. At this time when the internal fighting is fierce, Duduo's position is very important. If he is missing, it will be like a broken thigh!
Therefore, Li Zhu has great confidence in the success of this negotiation.
At this point, Li Zhu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. In the past few months, his whole body had been nervous. First, the dragon bone came to press him, and then Zhao and Jin Zidian conspired to rebel. Then Duduo led Ministry of Entry... A little carelessness in every matter can make it irreversible, let alone one after another. If an ordinary person would have collapsed, fortunately, Li Jian was used to it, so he often laughed at himself and called himself a bird with a broken bow.
Of course, it seems that all these things have been settled, but in fact the biggest problem is still behind. At this time, no one knows how Dorgon will react after receiving the news. Whether he will judge the situation and tolerate it for the time being, or whether he will get angry and act recklessly regardless of the consequences. Let's start, no one is sure.
Moreover, although this declaration of war gained a lot of public support, some ministers in the court were also worried. They felt that Li Jian was playing with fire!
So at this time, Li Jie wanted to take advantage of it and sent an envoy to the Ming court to explain everything, because at this time he could only rely on the power of the Ming court to resist the pressure of the Qing court. In fact, all his current chips also came from the Ming court, thousands of The prisoners of the Qing army, including Duduo, were captured by the Ming army. The troops inside the country who could carry the banner were the Ming army, and the ones outside the pass who could influence the situation were also the Ming army.
To put it bluntly, he needs to quickly repair the relationship with the Ming court. It is best if he can recognize his master again. The most urgent thing at the moment is to have the Ming army create tension in Jinzhou so that the Qing court has no time and power to deal with him. If you can endure it first, admit it!
Tian Jianxiu did not participate in these political matters, and Li Jian certainly would not let him participate in North Korean affairs, so he returned to Ganghwa Island after only one day in Seoul. As for whether North Korea and the Qing court can negotiate peace, it will not be possible in a short time There will be no war, so he will take the opportunity to rest his troops and stabilize his base.
Although Tian Jianxiu didn't ask for credit or ask for anything, Li Zhu still rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver. After all, he came all the way to help you fight and won, and he also gave you such a good trump card. So, You have to be grateful to others, both emotionally and rationally. Of course, this kind of gratitude cannot just be expressed verbally. You must give actual things. In addition to gold and silver, you should also give winter clothes, food, grass, pigs and sheep.
Such a generous gesture, in addition to gratitude, also means to win over. After all, the current situation is unstable, and people will be needed at any time.
Therefore, when it came to Tian Jianxiu's occupation of Ganghwa Island, Li Zhu turned a blind eye and saw through it without speaking out.
Besides, you have to have a place to live when you come, and you have to keep it secret. You can't live in Hansan City in the north and south. It seems that Ganghwa Island is also very suitable. You can reach all the cities along the North Korean coast at any time by water. If there are enemies, When the army invades, it can be intercepted or blocked.
However, for some reason, Li Zhu suddenly had a bad idea. Tian Jianxiu would not occupy Ganghwa Island and become independent. The reason why he had such an idea was not groundless. In fact, there were lessons learned from the past, such as the Pi mentioned above. island.
For example, after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, there was a mutiny in Pidao. Liu Xingzhi separated himself from Pidao and became independent. He would not return to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, or the court. Later, he was controlled by Mao Wenlong's father-in-law Shen Shikui, who was also independent.
Of course, this thought passed by in a flash. At this time, Li Zhu had no time for these things that had not happened. Besides, even if Tian Jianxiu became independent, Mingting would not sit idly by and do nothing. Things have not happened yet, so why bother? .
Before the North Korean envoys left the city, Liu Shichang's people had already entered the sea by boat.
