"North Korea's political leader Jin Yu risked his life to submit a memorial; in order to invite troops to defend the captives:
The small country has served the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, and its love and righteousness are too much to describe. Emperor Shenzong's kindness in rebuilding has not been recorded in the records since the founding of the country. However, since the chaos of Dingmao and Bingzi, Jian
The barbarians in the state wantonly raised armies, invaded our territory, massacred our people, and forced the small states to betray the alliance of the Celestial Empire and serve as slaves to the Tartars. The whole country's ministers, big and small, idle, elders, soldiers and civilians all hated the slave chief with gnashing of teeth.
Do you think that North Korea, a land of civilized clothes, can abandon China and join the barbarians? Therefore, risking one's life to report to the Heavenly Dynasty, inviting heavenly troops to arrive to defend against the Tartars. The subjects of a country look up to the sky day and night, calling out to wait.
Heavenly soldiers. Limited to mountains and seas, a small country has the sincerity of gold and stone; if it goes with the heavens, the heaven has the meaning of support. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will use the size of the universe and the brightness of the sun and the moon to see what Korea has to do and what the people's will cannot be violated.
Send out heavenly troops to determine the will of the people. A little bit of foolish loyalty will lead to heavenly wisdom, and you will look forward to the Holy Judgment."
When Jin Yu's memorial was sent to Zhu Hengjia's court, Zhu Hengjia was a little confused. Please ask me, the Ming Dynasty, to send troops to Korea to resist the Qing invaders? This is of course a good thing. North Korea has an important strategic position, right on the edge of Jianzhou, the Longxing land of the Qing invaders.
It is not far from Beijing. If we can station troops here, we will be able to prevent the Qing captives from looking at each other.
Zhu Hengjia had even thought about the location of the garrison. He pointed at the map and saw, well, here it is: Shenmi Island. This island is located in the West Korea Bay southwest of Xuanchuan, Ping'an Road, across the sea from Phi Island.
, to the west you can seize Pidao and capture Beizhili; to the north you can capture Yizhou and threaten the three capitals outside the Pass of the Qing Dynasty (Xingjing - Hetuala City, Tokyo - Liaoyang, Shengjing - Shenyang).<

What a great place, what a great place!
Emperor Guangwu was so excited that his eyes glowed with gold, but he soon felt that something was wrong.
No, this Jin Yu is just the leader of North Korea, not the king of North Korea. How can he have the power to ask me, the Ming Dynasty, to send troops to station on behalf of North Korea?
With doubts, Zhu Hengjia summoned Sun Jinding, the second assistant and minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Kewang, the minister of the Concierge Court.
"Mr. Sun Ge, Mr. Sun, this Jin Yu is just a political leader. How can he have the right to ask me to send troops to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of North Korea? Is he a powerful official like Zheng Jie of Annan State, who controls the North Korean King Li Hao?"
”
Sun Jinding smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. This Jin Yu is not a powerful minister of North Korea, but a very loyal minister. I asked Song Shilie, the envoy of North Korea, that this memorial inviting the Chinese army to station in North Korea to fight against the barbarians is not that of Jin Yu.
The meaning of "堉" was the idea of King Li Hao of Korea."
"Oh? Since it was Li Hao's idea, why was the memorial not signed with Li Hao's name but with Jin Yu's name?"
"This is the reason why Wei Chen said that Jin Yu was the most loyal minister of North Korea. Since North Korea experienced two chaos, the forces of the Qing Dynasty have penetrated into North Korea and invaded the six northern towns of Xianjing Road in North Korea.
There are heavy troops stationed in Yizhou on the island. North Korea sent me to the imperial court. If the Qing captives found out, it would be a disaster. So Li Hao originally wanted to go to the island in person, but Jin Yu stopped him and insisted on doing so in the name of leading and discussing politics.
, once the matter is leaked, he will bear the responsibility and will not implicate Li Hao. He is a loyal minister!"
After hearing this, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but sigh: "It's so big and loyal in such a small North Korea! It's really not easy!"
Upon hearing what Emperor Guangwu said, Sun Jinding, a human spirit, immediately pulled Sun Kewang to kneel on the ground, "I am also willing to learn from Jin Yu, serve your Majesty, devote myself to your life, and die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hengjia was greatly moved, and quickly helped the two of them up and said: "Two beloved ministers, please get up quickly. I have such loyal ministers as you, so why worry about not being able to expel the Tartars and restore China?"
The six northern towns of Hamgyong Province in North Korea were actually the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In 1392, when North Korea's Taizu Li Chenggui founded the country, North Korea occupied Kongzhou (later renamed "Qingyuan") along the Tumen River, only in the lower reaches.
). After that, successive kings of Korea, while professing vassalage to the Ming Dynasty, expanded to the middle and upper reaches of the Tumen River, and successively established the towns of Huining, Zhongcheng, Qingxing, Wencheng, and Funing, collectively known as "
"Six Towns in the North".
Because although these six towns belonged to the Ming Dynasty in name, they were actually the territory of the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty did not bother to take care of it, turned a blind eye and allowed North Korea to expand. The Qing army invaded North Korea and saw that there were many residents in these places.
They were all Jurchens, so they naturally refused to return them. North Korea wanted to invite the Ming army to enter North Korea, and also wanted to recover the lost territory in the north. Historically, Xiaozong Li Hao once made a great wish to expedition to the north and restore the Qing Dynasty before he was fifty years old.
Lost land. Unfortunately, he only lived forty years before passing away.
Zhu Hengjia suddenly asked: "Who is this King of Korea, Li Hao?"
"This", Sun Jinding was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know much about the monarch of this small country.
"Your Majesty, this Li Hao is a benevolent, filial, thrifty, perseverant, decisive, and wise master, quite like your Majesty," Sun Kewang replied.
What! This boy looks like me? How is this possible? I am the emperor of the ages, why should this boy compare with me?
Zhu Hengjia was a little unhappy, and asked Sun Kewang calmly: "Is this a bit ridiculous when Shilang Sun says this? Li Hao is only thirty-four years old this year. What achievements have he made that deserve your praise?"
Sun Kewang said seriously: "Rong Chen will give you a few examples and tell them for your Majesty."
"You said".
"My father was critically ill, and he was so sad that he almost bit off his finger. Fortunately, his younger brother saved him and the bone was not broken. When he met the Han people who drifted to North Korea ("drifters"), he always tried his best to protect them and avoid sending them to
Qing court. This is called benevolence and filial piety.
"Hmm!"
"My daughter, Princess Shuhui, once asked her to give her an embroidered dress. She said, 'Yuzheng is ruling this country and wants to be the first to demonstrate frugality. How can I let you wear an embroidered dress? After I die, when your mother becomes a
Concubine, it's not too late for you to wear it again, and people won't blame you too much. As a king, you always eat every grain of rice in the bowl when you eat. This is called diligence and frugality."
"Hmm!"
"North Korea's country was weak, but he did not lose heart. He told his ministers, 'All the ministers want me to control the army, but for those who refuse to listen, I don't know when a good opportunity will come. Therefore, I want to raise 100,000 elite soldiers.
If you love your son as much as you do, you are all a soldier who dares to die, and then when he is provoked, you will catch him by surprise and arrive outside the pass. Then there will be no heroes and righteous men in the Central Plains who will respond.' He also said, 'If you carry out great things with great ambition, how can you keep it safe? Great justice.
Then it is clear that there is no shame in returning to death, and it is beneficial to have a light that can be lifted up in the world for all generations. And God's will is there, so it seems that there is no risk of returning to death. This is called Rao Yi."
Hearing what Sun Kewang said, Zhu Hengjia lost all his contempt and said slowly: "Please continue."
"He hated party strife. As soon as he came to the throne, he exiled Zhao Xiyin and Shen Hongwang on the grounds of forming a party. He also used lightning speed to crush the pro-Qing Jin Zidian party in one fell swoop. This is called
Decisive.
"Hmm!"
"A ship of the Red Maui people encountered a typhoon at sea and drifted to Jeju Island. If they find anyone who is good at firearms, they will stay in Korea to develop firearms. Among the ministers are Lin Yan and Hamel, both of whom are Red Maui people.
Also, Japan was originally a feuding country of Korea. In order to concentrate on dealing with the Qing captives, Japan sent envoys to make amends with Japan. This is called wisdom.
"How come Sun Qing knows so much about North Korea?"
Zhu Hengjia asked Sun Kewang a little strangely.
Sun Kewang said sternly: "Your Majesty entrusts ministers with diplomatic relations, how dare I not do my best? Not only Korea, but also the surrounding vassal states, I have sent officials to collect information."
"Okay, Sun Qing is interested." Zhu Hengjia glanced at Sun Kewang with admiration, which made Sun Kewang's bones go numb. Then he said slowly: "Let the North Korean envoy Song Shilie enter the palace."
