Chapter 54 Intimacy

Time is enough to squeeze.

There is also silver, even if you squeeze it.

Although North Korea is a small vassal country, its savings over the past two hundred years are still considerable. Even though the Japanese invasion in Ionchen lost a lot of national strength and robbed a lot of wealth by the Japanese, Eunuch Wei firmly believes that as long as North Korean officials are so active in Sino-Korean friendship like the good man Park Chung-tae and strive to contribute their own strength, then any difficulties will not be difficult!

So, Huining and Qingxing counties paid 50,000 taels, Qingyuan County paid 40,000 taels, Funing County paid 70,000 taels, Wencheng County paid 30,000 taels, and Zhongcheng County paid 30,000 taels, except for Jingcheng City, where the Protectorate Office is located, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Army have received 220,000 taels of silver from the North Korean side in terms of war compensation in terms of official positions.

Of course, the compensation of only 220,000 taels of silver is obviously not comparable to the nearly 10 million taels of military expenditure invested by the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese turmoil in the Renchen.

But my father-in-law was still very pleased and recognized this number. As for how much compensation can be implemented, my father-in-law is actually not unkind. He has just emphasized the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty and hopes that North Korea can take more responsibility.

After all, as a superior country in the Celestial Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty must not be too harsh on its vassals, so it still has to take the initiative to assume some of the responsibilities and obligations of the sect leader. How could it be that North Korea could compensate all the tens of millions of taels?

Even if the Ming Dynasty has this intention, North Korea does not have this money.

Although 220,000 taels are small, a drip of water can make a stream, and a stream can make a river. Eunuch Wei believes that with the continuous progress of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, the future money prospects will be bright and brilliant!

Moreover, as the situation continues to become clearer, local officials from North Korea also showed their willingness to share hardships with the Ming Dynasty. For example, Park Jung-tae, the governor of Zhongcheng, openly declared at a banquet that if the Celestial Empire is in trouble in the future, Zhongcheng will definitely defend the Ming Dynasty with armed forces!

After the banquet, the county magistrate Pu, on behalf of all classes in Zhongcheng, gave 13,000 taels of silver to his father-in-law in his personal opinion on behalf of all the classes in Zhongcheng, to thank Eunuch Wei for his contributions to the relationship between China and North Korea. In total, it means that each person in the county has 10 cents.

Although ten cents are small, it is the wish of the people.

How can my father-in-law not accept it?

But he still scolded the people and said that the people were poor after all, so how could they pay for them? The people and the others were naturally submissive, reflecting on their work mistakes from the bottom of their hearts and hearts, and ensuring that they would never make any more.

"Not to be an example."

My father-in-law said casually, "I really feel sorry for our family. I just give us some Korean ginseng to replenish it. Why bother the people?"

After the banquet, the Zhongcheng County Bureau mobilized, and a large number of yamen runners rushed into the city's major pharmacies and packed hundreds of kilograms of Korean ginseng for Eunuch Wei overnight.

Early the next morning, when I saw more than a dozen cargoes of Korean ginsengs sent, Eunuch Wei couldn't help but shed tears of excitement at the innocent feelings of the officials in Zhongcheng.

The situation is not a small one, but a big one.

In order to repay the reinvention of the Ming Dynasty, officials from Huining, Qingxing, Wencheng and other counties actively mobilized to help the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Army raise food and grass, so as not to let the heavenly soldiers feel hungry and tired in the vassal states, and completely relieved the difficulties and inconvenience of the long-distance travel of the imperial army.

For this reason, Eunuch Wei specially ordered an envoy to go to the three counties, saying that after returning to the country in the future, he would write a letter to the emperor and issue a divine decree to the Seoul, and to make these three counties "model counties for friendship between China and North Korea."

At the same time, nearly 3,000 young and strong Koreans "actively" responded to the call of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Army and joined the Imperial Guard to serve the Celestial Kingdom in order to repay the great kindness of the Daming soldiers who rescued them from the hands of Japanese pirates.

But it is undeniable that the good news is constant, the situation is broad, and the money situation is brilliant, but an undercurrent is also surging.

First, the military and political forces of the Jingcheng Protectorate, headed by Yuan Ye, the commander of the Daming Protectorate under the Third Plate Hall of Jingcheng, refused to receive the letter of the Daming Angel, gathered and reorganized the scattered troops of the counties and cleared the fields in the county and town near Jingcheng, refused to recognize the legality of the Daming soldiers' entry. At the same time, they sent people to ask for help from the nearby Ping'an Road and rushed to Seoul for help for 800 miles.

In his letter of help from Seoul, Yuan Ye, the commander of the Protectorate, openly claimed that the Ming army invaded the North, not entered the North, which was the so-called "Guichou Ming Rebellion". He hoped that the Seoul congress government would immediately mobilize the imperial guards to go north to resist the Ming army's invasion.

This news made Eunuch Wei very angry and summoned Park Zhengtai to ask who Yuan Ye was, how could he dare to turn black and white so much and slander the angels of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of the heavenly soldiers.

According to Park Jung-tae, Yuan Ye was the younger brother of Yong General Yuan Yuanjun.

Yuan Jun was an envoy of Funing Prefecture. Two months before the Japanese invaded Korea, he was appointed as the Gyeongsang Dou Right Water Envoy and became the commander of the Korean naval army. However, when the Japanese invaded a large-scale invasion, Yuan Jun was eager to escape and later fought with the Japanese naval army with Li Sun-sin, the envoy of Jeolla Dou Leshui.

In the subsequent wars, Li Shunchen was attracted by the right-wing political affairs Liu Chenglong, and promoted him vigorously with few achievements, which made Yuan Jun very dissatisfied. When Dingyou was in chaos, Yuan Jun slandered the government, resulting in Li Shunchen being dismissed. Yuan Jun became the commander of the three naval forces, taking charge of the command of the Korean naval army. Later, in the Battle of Qichuan Liang, Yuan Jun was attacked by the Japanese army Tengdo Takao's troops and was defeated and killed.

However, after his death, he was not held responsible for defeat. Instead, he was prosecuted as Zuo Zancheng, who was conferred the title of Yuanling Jun. His brother Yuan Ye was valued by Emperor Xuanzong and was appointed as the envoy of the Great Protectorate of Jingcheng. The reason for this is that, the King Xuanzong liked Yuan Jun during his lifetime, and on the other hand, the Yuan family has been Korean military generals and Spanish nobles for generations, and has great power. Therefore, even if there is a shameful elder brother, Yuan Ye's power and status are not affected at all.

"According to the news obtained by Xiaguan, the Yuan Dynasty envoy is very likely to be promoted to a second-rank inner guard general after leaving office next year and be in the palace."

As one of the closest comrades-in-arms in North Korea, Park Jung-tae has his own judgment on the situation. He believes that what Yuan Ye does is extremely unfavorable to him.

Therefore, he needed to advise the angels, so he said: "If you don't hide it from the angels, Yuan Ye is the most hating of the Heavenly Kingdom. When the heavenly soldiers entered our country to fight against the Japanese in the early years, they often spread rumors that they were unfavorable to the heavenly soldiers..."

Under Park Jung-tae's image, Yuan Ye's image is vividly displayed on the paper, and he is a reactionary group of extremely arrogant and stubborn elements who regard the Celestial Empire as nothing. Such people must not be tolerated, otherwise it will inevitably destroy the atmosphere of friendship and unity that has finally formed in the Mirror City Protectorate Prefecture.

"Park Sang..."

Perhaps because he realized that the title was not right, Eunuch Wei coughed lightly, patted Park Jung-tae's shoulder with a little deep meaning, and said in a harmonious voice: "Yuan Ye can't do it. You can only feel at ease with his position."

Park Jung-tae was overjoyed. He said so much, wouldn’t it be the angel saying? As long as the Celestial Empire speaks, Seoul will be dissatisfied, and how can he not give Celestial Empire face?

However, Eunuch Wei obviously had something to say. He nodded slightly, then looked at Park Jung-tae affectionately: "You go to Jingcheng to work, and put that Yuan Ye..."

My father-in-law made a neck wiping action.
