The country of Korea was of great significance to the Qing Dynasty. As early as the Later Jin Dynasty, because North Korea was a vassal state of the former Ming Dynasty, the monarchs at that time were extremely disdainful of the Qing Dynasty. They not only directly called the Later Jin Dynasty the upper and lower levels of the Later Jin Dynasty, but also took the initiative to send 10,000 troops to assist the former Ming Dynasty in attacking the Later Jin Dynasty.

After all, North Korea was favored by the former Ming Dynasty at that time. If Wanli had not taken action, North Korea would have been swallowed by Japan. For the sake of North Korea, the former Ming Dynasty fought with Japan for several years, which forced Japan to return in vain and thus saved North Korea's country.

To be honest, North Korea at that time could be said to be a hardcore little brother from the former Ming Dynasty. He would beat anyone he asked him to beat him. Moreover, North Korea has always claimed to be a small China. Although it is not as good as the real China, except for the former Ming Dynasty, the rest of the countries looked at people with their nostrils, so how could they look at the barbarians of wild boar skin?

Unfortunately, after the Battle of Sarhu, North Korea's boss Qianming suffered heavy losses. Then Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without permission, causing the Later Jin Dynasty to lose the restraint from Pi Island. From then on, the Korean power was completely separated from the former Ming Dynasty by the Later Jin Dynasty.

When Huang Taiji was in power, the Later Jin Dynasty had become a climate. In order to protect himself, North Korea had no choice but to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, but in fact it still secretly supported the Qianming. In order to completely resolve North Korea, Huang Taiji decided to send a 100,000 army (called 100,000, but actually 30,000) to invade Korea directly. The Korean army was not attacked at all. As soon as the front line was broken, the country was defeated. Even the king was captured by the Later Jin Dynasty at that time, and North Korea was on the verge of destruction.

Originally, the North Korean brother wanted to go out to show off his power, but who would have thought that the boss was chased by other halls for several streets, or even his arm was cut off. As a younger brother, North Korea was stunned and wanted to say a few ruthless words to get back the place. Who would have thought that the ruthless man who cut off the boss would put the watermelon knife on his neck in a blink of an eye. The arrogant little brother in front of him was instantly scared and peed his pants.

Since the Battle of Bingzi, the king was captured, and there were 300,000 Koreans who were captured along with the king. These 300,000 people are not ordinary people, but North Korean officials, nobles, including their relatives.

After being beaten up by the Later Jin Dynasty, North Korea finally surrendered and directly acted as a 25-year-old. After that, North Korea completely cut off contact with the former Ming Dynasty, thus becoming a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Due to the support of North Korea's materials and soldiers, the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty greatly increased.

It is precisely for this reason that the Thirteenth Prince put his ideas on North Korea. If he could continue to control North Korea, it would be extremely beneficial to the Qing Dynasty outside the pass.

With North Korea as a backing, not only can he get the food he urgently needs, but he can also attract a lot of troops from North Korea. You should know that although North Korea is small, its population is quite large. The entire North Korean population is about 1.5 million to about 1.6 million. With such a population base, it is easy to get tens of thousands of people from North Korea.

However, North Korea is different from the past. After the Qing Dynasty lost Beijing, it was equivalent to losing the status of the lord of the world. In the face of the powerful national strength of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea once again became a 25-year-old, thus once again throwing himself into the arms of the Ming Dynasty.

That's not all. The Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yicheng not only re-acquisitioned North Korea as a vassal state, but also further obtained the Jeju Magistrate from North Korea, and directly set up military ports and garrison troops there. In addition, he also sent the ministers to control North Korea. Once the Thirteenth Prince recruited troops to attack North Korea, it would be equivalent to directly challenged the Ming Dynasty. There was no need to send troops from the Ming Dynasty. Just the warships and army from the Jeju Magistrate's side would be enough for the Thirteenth Prince to bear it.

It is precisely for this reason that the Thirteenth Prince took another measure, which is to win over North Korea and instigate the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, so that North Korea can move closer to the Qing Dynasty in private.

The Thirteenth Prince is both literary and martial, and can be said to be an outstanding figure among the princes. Although he was defeated under the Ming Dynasty and lost his strong capital, it also allowed the Thirteenth Prince to grow up quickly.

Now he is no longer the naughty man he was, and he is much more cautious in his work. In addition to his keen eyes and strong judgment, this is the main reason why all parties outside the pass are willing to obey him in addition to his identity.

"What's going on in North Korea now?"

After listening to Song Zhu's story, the Thirteenth Prince asked Azalan for a moment.

Azaran smiled and said, "Go back to the prince, everything goes well in North Korea."

"Oh, let's talk about it carefully."

Azalan immediately said: "Since the North Korean defended the Ming Dynasty and forced it, it has nominally cut off contact with our Qing Dynasty and has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again. However, you know that in order to help Emperor Zhu eliminate his anger, North Korea has invested a lot this time."

Everyone present nodded at the same time. Everyone knew what Azaran said. The Qing Dynasty was connected to North Korea outside the pass, and the news on both sides was not blocked. If there was any disturbance on North Korea, you will soon know this, let alone such a big thing.

Zhu Yisung asked the Jeju master from North Korea, and then sent ministers and troops to station them. This was something that had never happened before. North Korea gritted its teeth and agreed, but it did not mean that North Korea had no idea about it.

"Due to this matter, the Lao Lun faction, which originally had the upper hand, is now attacked by a group of people. In addition, the Korean king is old and weak, and it is no longer in charge. The Shao Lun faction takes advantage of the situation to push the prince to supervise the country. However, due to the origin and physical problems of the Korean prince, he has also been criticized in his country. The other princes are unwilling to be lonely. It can be said that North Korea is in chaos now..." Azaran calmly talked about the current situation of North Korea first, and everyone did not interrupt and listened quietly to what he said.

"Since last year, after the prince set up his strategy, I have sent people to operate in North Korea with all my heart. Given the current situation, this operation is still very effective. It is precisely because of the various factions in North Korea that the king and the prince are no longer able to control it, and the Ming Dynasty has too much pressure on North Korea this time, which has caused great dissatisfaction among the North Koreans. Therefore, they have secretly won over many important officials in the court, including two princes. The other party has agreed to the prince's conditions, but there are also some requirements."

"What is the requirement?" the young Yongqian couldn't help asking.

Azaran smiled and stretched out three fingers and said, "It's nothing more than the guarantee of the Ming Dynasty, the king and himself."

Hearing this answer, Yongqian was stunned. If there was no problem with the Qing Dynasty in the past three aspects, this kind of commitment was not difficult. However, the power of the Qing Dynasty has been greatly reduced, and the Qing army outside the pass cannot even compete with the Ming army within the pass. It would be nice if someone didn't come to fight them. It would be extremely difficult for them to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Thirteenth Prince disagreed and immediately asked: "Have you promised them?"

"Why don't you agree?" Azalan smiled and said, "Tell the prince a good news. In a few days, North Korea will be able to send 200,000 stones of grain across the river. Five thousand civilians and other supplies will come with the grain and grass."
