"General, we have won consecutive battles. Our soldiers are in great momentum, we have plenty of food and grass, and there is no shortage of ammunition. Why do we have to stop moving forward now?" Yang Jun, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, stood at the headquarters of the Chinese Army.
Inside the tent, Shi Heng, who was sitting facing the case and studying a map of North Korea on the table, said.
"Haha, why are you in a hurry? Come and sit down quickly. Let's drink some tea first. It took me less than a day to send out my general order, but you showed up at my Chinese army's tent early in the morning. I'm afraid it won't last all night.
Are you on your way?" Shi Heng raised his head and looked at Yang Jun, who was covered in dust and had a tired face, but with dissatisfaction and doubt in his eyes, and pointed to the chair next to him and said warmly.
"That's it, General Yang, take a rest first. Come, please serve General Yang tea." Cao Yi next to him also greeted with a smile.
Although Yang Jun had a stubborn temper, he was not incapable of distinguishing the right from the short. Seeing that the two bosses looked calm and calm, he could only sit down on the chair angrily, picked up the cup of hot tea, and sipped it carefully.
After a few sips, the scalding tea and the soothing aroma made Yang Jun feel that the fatigue on his body seemed to be diluted a bit by the aroma of the tea.
"Do you think I don't want to march forward with my army and march all the way south to defeat the king and capture the lord of the country?" Shi Heng stood up, moved his arms and said with a smile. After more than a year of getting along,
The conversation between them was not limited to official-face exchanges between superiors and subordinates. Naturally, it seemed more casual, and Shi Heng, who knew Yang Jun's temper in dealing with things, naturally would not pay attention to Yang Jun.
That seemed a bit rash to ask.
"Then why should we stop? Now, the North Korean army has been defeated by our Ming Dynasty one after another, and has almost no power to fight. As long as we take advantage of the situation, we will definitely be able to attack the capital in one go." Yang Jun heard what Shi Heng said.
, and couldn’t help but say.
"Because the emperor has an edict, let us temporarily stop the march." At this time, Cao Yi interjected. As soon as the words came out, the dissatisfied Yang Jun couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What?"
"Why, you don't believe it? Haha, this is His Majesty's imperial edict. See it for yourself." Shi Heng smiled and handed over the imperial edict written on yellow silk.
Yang Jun also took a look at it unceremoniously and couldn't help but look puzzled. "Why do you think your majesty wants to negotiate a peace? Could it be that something happened in the court?"
"Haha, right now, who do you think can interfere with His Majesty's will?" Shi Heng slowly walked back to his seat and sat down. "In my opinion, I'm afraid His Majesty has new ideas and thoughts.
.”

"But, if I send an envoy to North Korea to negotiate, how do I know what kind of results we can achieve?" Yang Jun looked at it for a long time, returned the imperial edict, frowned and said in a deep voice: "How do you know?
Will those officials return the land we conquered to North Korea?"
"You are so underestimating Your Majesty. The envoy sent by Your Majesty this time is neither an official from the Ministry of Rites, nor an official from the Honglu Temple and the Pingren Department, but Yuan Bin, a confidant of His Majesty's side." Shi Heng.
After looking at each other and smiling at Cao Yi, he slowly explained to Yang Jun.
After hearing Shi Heng's words, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath, and the expression on his face became relaxed. "Your Majesty actually asked Yuan Bin to be the envoy? In this way, we soldiers can finally
I have not endured more than a year in this land of Liaodong in vain."
Cao Yi stroked his long beard and said with great interest: "That's natural. The original strategy for Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula was planned by His Majesty. Although it has changed slightly now, I believe that Your Majesty
He is by no means a person who does things half-way. And Yuan Bin is by no means a good person. He has been serving His Majesty all year round. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is certainly very aware of His Majesty's methods and intentions. In this way, maybe some of us
What Yuan Bin couldn't get on the battlefield, he, Yuan Bin, was able to get at the negotiation table."
While the North Korean monarchs and ministers were overjoyed, they couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy in their hearts, because although the Ming Dynasty stopped its southern expedition at North Korea's second request, the tens of thousands of troops were still eyeing it. Moreover, after hearing that
The envoys sent this time were mainly composed of military generals, and the envoy Yuan Bin was an effective and confidant who followed the great emperor Zhu Qizhen through life and death.
Such a person, bringing such an envoy, always makes the North Korean monarchs and ministers feel a murderous aura, and the pressure they bring is greater than the tens of thousands of elite Ming troops who are invincible and invincible.
How much smaller.
As Li Yao's confidant and negotiator, Zuo Deputy Chengzhi Han Minghui looked at Yuan Bin, who was sitting upright opposite him, and felt even more astringent in his heart. "The Ming Dynasty is so harsh.
Conditions, then how can Korea still have hope of inheriting the country? I hope the angels can look at me and take back this treaty for the sake of being respectful to the Ming Dynasty, so as to maintain the vassal justice between Korea and the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Bin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and raised his sword eyebrows lightly: "Han Chengzhi, are these conditions excessive? Compared with the people of our Ming Dynasty who are now buried in a foreign land, with their families and families destroyed, our Majesty
, I still think it’s light.”
After hearing this, Han Minghui and several other North Korean ministers participating in the negotiations could not help but remain silent for a while. Although they disdain Yuan Bin for using such an excuse, it is undeniable that today's North Korea no longer has
No matter what kind of confidence or trump card Yuan Bin used as a reason, even if they refuted it, what use would it be?
The only solution now is to hope that Ming Dynasty can relax those conditions, but after several days, there has been no progress.
The condition that Yuan Bin insisted on to death made Han Minghui have the urge to bang his head against the wall. It was really too harsh.
The terms brought by Yuan Bin are indeed outrageously harsh. First, in order to express its most sincere repentance and gratitude for its deceit and abduction of the Ming Dynasty over the past hundred years, the Kingdom of Korea. With the letter of credence
The form let everyone in the world know that it was because North Korea had done a lot of bad things that led to the wrath of Long Yan, the Emperor of Heaven.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Korea deserves to suffer this war.
Second, in addition to returning the land it occupied to the Ming Dynasty in the past, North Korea must also cede the land to the north of the Imjin River, as well as Jeju Island and Tsushima Island to the Ming Dynasty as compensation.
Third, the Kingdom of Korea abolished the Hangul script and banned the circulation of this text. The entire country must use Chinese characters as the only communication language.
Fourth, Li Yao can retain his throne, and Ming Dynasty is also willing to canonize this new North Korean leader who is full of ambition and lust. As for the future of the Supreme King Li Hongwei, his life safety must be guaranteed, otherwise,
You, Li Yao, will have to lose your head with him.
In addition to these four most important clauses, there are also a lot of compensation clauses. The North Korean monarchs and ministers were frightened and cursed in their hearts. However, they were outnumbered, so naturally they did not dare to scold Yuan Bin away.
, if that really happens, maybe if Yuan Bin goes forward and then leaves, then the Ming army will march into the capital of North Korea on the back foot.
