The Goryeo Kingdom, the Mangsu Mountains, the crusade army camp.
“?????????,?????????.????????????????.???????????? ????????????,????????????????????????????(Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I lost my composure Now, the Japanese pirates have made such conditions, what should we do next?" After getting angry, Cui Mingji felt much better. He looked at the porcelain fragments on the floor and the ones who were hiding far away. The staff and generals knew that they had lost their composure in front of the latter, so they called in the soldiers to clean the floor and put in new tea. After everything was in order, Li Chengxuan was politely invited to the guest table. , and continued to discuss with him how to deal with the aggressive "Japanese pirates" next.
“????,???????????????,????,?????????,?????????????, ???????????????????????????,????????????????????? ???,???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????,?????????????????????,????????? ????????????????????????,600????????????????????????? ?,360?????????????????????????????????,???????????????? ???????????????????????????.???????????????????????? ??????????????????.????????????????????????.??????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????(Dong Weng, Don't worry, it's the so-called asking for prices all over the sky and paying back on the ground. Although the Japanese pirates offered a high price, they didn't stipulate that we can't bargain! Let's not care about the little island I don't know where it is for the time being. As far as the amount of money and food is concerned, we can't do it either. There is no room for maneuver. We cannot give 10,000 dan of grain, but isn’t 6,000 dan of grain our limit? At that time, both sides will make concessions. If this deal fails, the most important thing now is the freedom of Gimpo County. Trade rights, this is really difficult to achieve. After all, the country imitated the Ming Dynasty and pursued a closed-door policy. If they were given this trade right, there would be too many joints to open)..." Seeing that his benefactor finally returned to normal, Li Cheng Xuan straightened his clothes and Shi Shiran sat opposite him. Then, when the tea boiled, the man rolled up his sleeves again, reached for the bamboo spoon, and began to scoop tea for his benefactor and himself, one spoonful, two spoons, and soon the tea cups in front of them were filled with scalding hot tea.
“????360??,????1,500??,????????????.????????????????????? ,??????????????????????????????.????????????????????? ??????????????????!!!??????????????????????????? ??????,?????????,??????????????????.????????????? ??????????.????,?????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????? (Six thousand shi of grain, 1,500 taels of silver! No more than that. As for the right to free trade, let them not even think about it. What kind of place is Gimpo County? How can we let Japanese pirates like them just say it? Come on, let’s go! If they really want to do business with our country, that’s fine. Let them show some sincerity first! First of all, these Japanese pirates from Mishima must withdraw unconditionally. Secondly, they must cooperate with us. , put on a good show for the bosses in the capital, and in the end they had to come up with enough money for me to manage it throughout the Uijeongbu government! In addition, tell them that the trading location cannot be located in Gimpo. On Qiaotong Island off the coast of Ganghwa)..." After listening to the analysis of his staff, Cui Mingji and Cui Dabanshu pondered for a long time, and even drank two cups of tea before finally making up his mind. After all, this guy was a scholar with a legitimate background, and he always paid attention to reputation. If there was a way to spend less or no money on food, in exchange for the Japanese pirates retreating, then he would be willing to bear the reputation of taking away the people's wealth and exploiting the common people. Furthermore, if this guy wants to keep his current official position, or even advance to a higher level, he must get the cooperation of the latter. Otherwise, just losing troops and generals, losing cities and territory will be enough for him to drink a pot. If you still want to make progress, it would be nice if you don’t end up in jail! Therefore, Cui Mingji and Cui Dabanshu decided to help these "Japanese pirates" and gain some military merit for themselves, so as to add some capital for future career advancement.
“????,????????????????????????,??????????????????,?? ??????,?????????????????????????????????????????? ??????,?????????,?????????????????????,???????????? ????????????????,????????????????????????????????? ???????????? (Dong Weng, the Japanese pirates are just broken bricks and tiles, we are talented and beautiful people, there is no need to get into trouble with them for a little food and silver coins, and besides, we can cover up defeat and turn it into victory. , we also need their cooperation, so let’s give them some benefits)..." After all, it was the official word in two words. Cui Mingji touched his upper lip to his lower lip. The six thousand shi of grain originally planned for the Japanese pirates became one thousand five hundred taels. He saved the silver city redemption fee and put it into his own pocket. All he had to pay was to help the latter to obtain the right to free trade in Goryeo and the ownership of a little-known island. ! In the eyes of everyone, this was a very cost-effective deal. However, how could the party involved, Li Chengxuan, sit back and watch this happen? The latter, who still wanted to profit from it, thought for a moment and immediately started from the perspective of follow-up cooperation. I strongly advise my proprietors not to offend the vicious Japanese pirates in front of them!
“???,?????????,??????????????????????????????,?????? ???????????????,???????????????,???????????????? ?????????????????????(Then according to Sir’s opinion, how much grain, rice and money should we give to the Japanese pirates to make them withdraw obediently and actively cooperate with us) ?" After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Cui Mingji felt that what his close aides said was somewhat reasonable. The "Japanese pirates" did have something to ask for at the moment, but if he looked too ugly and squandered all the city redemption fees that were due to them. , a bad one will most likely trigger a strong resistance from the latter! By then, the flames of war will rekindle and the lives of all people will be devastated. I'm afraid it won't be able to calm it down with a little grain, rice, and money!
“??????180?????????1000?????????????????????.?????????? ??,???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????? (At least three thousand shi of grain and one thousand taels of silver will do. Otherwise, if they are completely angered and send troops to the Gyeonggi area to cause cholera, we will lose more than we gain)!" It turns out! The conditions in exchange for the Japanese pirates' withdrawal were six thousand shi of grain and one thousand five hundred taels of silver. Now after Li Chengxuan argued hard, the standard of three thousand shi of grain and one thousand taels of silver was still maintained. Of course, The free trade and territorial requirements proposed by the former must also be met by Cui Mingji as much as possible.
“????,180???????180??????????,??????????????????????. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????,????????????????????????????????? ????????????,?????????????????,????????????????????? ?????????(Okay, three thousand shi of grain is three thousand shi of grain, and one thousand taels of silver is one thousand taels of silver. As long as they can withdraw their troops as soon as possible to avoid the people's lives being ruined, so what if I allow them? , General Luo, now that we have the result, I will trouble you to go to the Japanese pirate camp again!" After some discussions, Cui Mingji and Li Chengxuan finally made a plan, and then, adhering to the principle of "it's better to do it in life than in practice" In principle, the former turned his attention to Luo Dayong, the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp who was listening attentively, hoping that he could make another trip to the Japanese temporary headquarters!
"??????,??????????????????????????????????????????,??? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(Master Judgment, the villain accidentally sprained his foot when he came back just now , therefore, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task you assigned me)..." To be honest, Luo Dayong really didn't want to face those vicious Japanese pirates. The last time he went to negotiate, he was chased away before even saying a few words. Who knows if the wrong thing he said this time will anger the other party, and then kill him! So he stepped forward, bowed, and politely stated that he did not want to go to the enemy camp again!
“??????,??????????????????????????????,????????????? ???????,????????????????????????????????????,?????? ?????????????????????????????????,?????????????????? ?????????????????????(How dare you be so rude, why don't you retreat quickly and prepare to go to the enemy camp to negotiate with the Japanese pirates? You Don't forget, since I can promote you to the rank of deputy general of the army, I can also kick you out of this position)..." After hearing Luo Dayong's answer, Cui Mingji couldn't help but be furious, and he made a grand judgment on it. , the power is only under the power of a few political ministers. The former, a small imperial camp chief Qian, dares to go against his own will. It seems that Yin Gongshan's example is not clear enough, and he has to find someone to scare the monkeys and give it to his subordinates. These wallflowers have a long memory! However, just when he kept looking at Luo Dayong with unkind eyes, an unexpected person took the initiative to ask for help.
“????,????????????????????????????????????????????? ?,????????????????????????????????????,????????????? ????????????????????? (Dong Weng, since General Luo is unwell, how about letting the students help him walk? After all, we set the terms. Yes, students may get better results if they go there)!”
