"The three generals also have a deep understanding of justice and have made due contributions to the peace of the world. Those who have merit must be rewarded, only in this way can they be convinced."
Zheng Daorong, Jin Canhui, and Park Geunkui who came with Li Han saw that it was their turn, their faces glowed, and they quickly obeyed the order respectfully.
Li Xuan has been named a prince. Although the merits of the three of them are different, they will definitely not be different.
"Confer titles: Zheng Daorong is the uncle of Jing'an, Jin Canhui is the uncle of Xianli, and Pu Genkui is the uncle of Chengshun."
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!"
Being named an earl made the three of them scratch their heads and heads happily, feeling that their previous choices could no longer be correct.
After receiving the reward, Zuo Mengeng was also very concerned about their future.
"You were all generals before, do you still plan to join the army in the future?"
Unexpectedly, the three of them were in a bit of trouble.
In the end, it was Zheng Daorong who expressed his thoughts on behalf of the three of them.
"Your Majesty has sent you something, so of course we will be very embarrassed and will never regret it. It's just that we are old and have some unclear ideas about the way of the military today, so we are afraid of delaying your Majesty's important event."
It turned out that after surrendering, the three of them had a detailed understanding of the National Defense Force out of curiosity.
But the more they knew, the more shocked they were.
Everything in the National Defense Force is obviously not something that old-school soldiers like them can handle.
The three of them are almost the same age as Heiyunlong, but their basic skills are worse than that of Heiyunlong. If you really want to join the army, there is absolutely no hope of promotion.
The three of them thought that revealing their true feelings might anger Zuo Mengeng.
Little did he know that Zuo Mengeng admired them very much for their self-awareness.
When people live in this world, it is good to be competitive. But you must also see yourself clearly and know where your limits are.
Otherwise it is not a blessing, but a curse.
These three people knew that they were not capable enough and were afraid of getting into trouble, so they retreated to the next best thing. Instead, they had great wisdom.
"Marching and fighting is not just about being brave. It is easy to see others clearly, but it is difficult to see yourself clearly. Your choice will surely bless future generations."
Zuo Mengeng thought for a while and found a suitable place for them.
"Nowadays, the territory of the empire is constantly expanding, and people are being used everywhere. How about you join the police system? With your ability, there should be no problem in maintaining public order."
The three of them were very satisfied with this arrangement and thanked them profusely.
Everyone in North Korea is happy here, but there is one exception.
When Zuo Mengeng looked over, the man sighed and knelt down heavily.
"At the beginning, the guilty minister did not know the fate of the day, which caused North Korea to fall into catastrophe. Today, I only ask for a quick death. I beg Your Majesty to take pity on my North Korean people in the future and provide them with a little happiness."
Looking at this person, Zuo Mengeng was filled with emotions.
"From the perspective of the country and the nation, what you did was undoubtedly very correct. Compared with you, Kim Sang-hyun, Shen Ji-won and others were too motivated."
The man suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty also thinks... also thinks that the guilty minister did the right thing?"
Who is this person?
It was Cui Mingji who was also a man of the hour in Bingzi's chaos.
Facing the Manchu troops pressing down on the territory, Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others took the lead in the battle, while Cui Mingji advocated peace, which finally prompted Li Zhu to surrender to Huang Taiji at Santian Crossing.
Because of this incident, Cui Mingji suffered endless infamy.
However, after Li Xuan took control of the power, he killed all the powerful officials such as Jin Liu and Jin Zidian, but only spared his life.
Cui Mingji didn't know why, he just thought that Li Xuan was very angry with him and wanted to treat him with more cruel punishment.
Only today did he realize that the person who left his life behind was actually Zuo Mengeng.
Although he has a strong heart, he keeps all the insults and grievances deep in his heart. But who understands Cui Mingji's inner sadness?
Unexpectedly, it was Zuo Mengeng who determined his behavior today.
"Assessing the situation and considering the survival of the country and the safety of the monarch and the people are not wrong in any case."
Cui Mingji burst into tears.
"Thank you very much for Your Majesty's fairness. The guilty minister... The guilty minister would be satisfied even if he died immediately."
Zuo Mengeng waved his hand.
"Enough people have died, let's live well from now on. Have you ever thought about what to do next?"
Cui Mingji's depression disappeared instantly.
"I am old and frail, and my mind is not healthy. I plan to devote myself to study in the future."
Seeing that he was planning to retire, Zuo Menggeng didn't care about himself.
The wind and rain of these years have obviously destroyed Cui Mingji's body and spirit. It's really unkind to force him to come out and do things.
"Shen Daoxun plans to compile the history of North Korea. This matter is particularly important. If you are interested, why not go over and help."
Cui Mingji was stunned.
"Your Majesty plans to compile the history of North Korea?"
Before he could think of it, the empire had annexed Korea. The first thing to do is to erase as much traces of North Korea as possible.
Compiling history, doesn’t that mean exposing everything to the world?
Zuo Mengeng smiled faintly.
"When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices. How can history cover up a good country? It should be what it is. This is the responsibility to the country, the nation and the world."
Zuo Mengeng's ideological realm has evolved again.
When it annexed North Korea, it only thought about how to break North Korea's history and culture and completely integrate into China. But now, with the pace of unification, he has seen more things.
Over the course of history, how many dynasties and nations have risen, fallen, or even perished?
But even if a nation is extinct, why does it leave no traces?
But will these really affect the stability of the country?
If North Korea is gone, it will be gone. We can tell the world openly that it has integrated into China.
Even if some of the means in this process can be revealed, so what?
Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, which was so shocking!
Did it influence him to become an emperor through the ages?
The common people have a steelyard in their hearts and know what kind of emperor and country are truly good.
I believe the same is true for the people of North Korea.
As long as they can live an upright life in the future and live better than before, so what if they know the history of North Korea?
Will they still want to go back?
Cui Mingji was completely conquered by Zuo Menggeng's mind, and honestly joined the team of compiling Korean history.
As for Shen Daoxun, this once-prominent minister really suffered a serious loss due to Lord Gwanghae's rebellion.
In addition, the vitality of the Shen family was severely weakened, which made him frustrated. He simply resigned from politics and went to study at the Institute of Literature and History of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Therefore, the provincial administration of Korea Province fell on Li Chong.
"I followed the practices of other provinces and recruited workers extensively in the north to provide logistical assistance to the army. This also allowed the people to eat and earn money to survive this severe winter. But how will people's livelihood be settled after next spring? , I have to think about it at this time. I heard that Kang Yugong has a lot of experience in growing fruit trees in the mountains, so I want to ask for more advice to see if I can find a new way of living for the people."
The administrative ideas that Li Chong reported for the first time made Zuo Mengeng's eyes light up.
