The peaceful resolution of the Jingcheng Incident is a great historical event that shocked China and abroad. It prevented the cultural monuments of Jingcheng from the war and preserved them intact, allowing the Korean people to avoid the losses of war, and achieved the expected purpose of shaking the expected capture of a small group of reactionaries in North Korea. It also made this peaceful resolution model an example of the later Petani and Huanghai Road, laying the foundation for the true kindness of the Ming and North Korea, and also providing reference and operability for the Ming Dynasty to peacefully resolve Japan in the future.

In this process, the most contributor was the genius leader of the factory minister, the most respected genius leader of the East Asian people, and the genius military talent given to the superior minister Wei Gong.

After the Kuan Duke swept the hole, the Ming Emperor led by Duke Wei worked tirelessly and resolutely inspected the vassal states of Korea regardless of his fatigue, creating the first case of inspecting the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. This was a unique innovation and the first time in Chinese history that clearly stated that he had sovereignty and governance over the vassal states.

During the inspection, there was inevitably slander and hostility from the Korean reactionary forces against Wei Gong and the Ming Dynasty. In order to correct the source and to better unite the Korean people, Wei Gong had to lead the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's imperial army to attack Yi Xiao's reactionary forces, creating the Nanyang Victory, Funing Victory, and Qingxing Victory, and eventually forcing the civil and military officials of the Korean Jingcheng Protectorate to take responsibility for their crimes.

As the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army led by Duke Wei continued to grow, it eventually became the main force of the Ming army. The imperial army had the largest number of soldiers, the strongest combat power, and the largest control area. The various vassals in East Asia successively became the official territory of the Ming Dynasty. Due to this series of achievements, Duke Wei also became a symbol of the Ming Empire and was called "the flower of the empire" by the world. Excerpted from "The Flower of the Empire"

In the life of Duke Wei serving the country and the people, his military command ability played a very important role in the current situation and was also the most important factor in Duke Wei's return after being attacked by the conservative forces of the court.

It is undeniable that compared with military command ability, Duke Wei's political talent is even more outstanding. Under the leadership of Duke Wei, the Ming Dynasty gradually entered glory.

The political ability of Duke Wei was the absolute leadership of the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty, dealing with the relationship between the Imperial Army and the local government, the development of the Imperial Army and the construction of East Asian countries.

Duke Wei clearly stated that the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army depends on the support of ideological work, and the core position of the Imperial Army was established from the grassroots level to prevent the Imperial Army from being confused with ordinary domestic troops. Duke Wei spared no effort to educate, rectify and fight the possible warlord habits in the Imperial Army...

Wei Gong's political strategy, optimistic spirit and firm belief in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and handling relations between the Imperial Army and the people of the occupied areas won the support of the people of the world and the support of the Roman Holy See. Excerpted from Wei Gong's self-described "Our Struggle"

With his superb leadership, Wei Gong properly handled his relationship with Korean officials in Jingcheng after the Jingcheng Incident, and was able to expel and clean up the stubborn and conservative pro-Seoul forces in Jingcheng. He quickly gained their trust for the later Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road.

After the signing of the Jingcheng Agreement, Park Jung-tae, Park Seo-dong, Hyun-woo, Zhao Ji-sung and other former Korean officials became one of the most important supporters of Duke Wei. After the arrival of the officials sent by Seoul, although Duke Wei was very dissatisfied with their bureaucratic style and was out of place, after hard work, Duke Wei still obtained the support of these two North Korean officials.

Regarding the conflicts and differences between the capital and the emperor, Duke Wei also paid attention to strategies. Without changing the fundamental strategic policy, limited concessions, strategies and risks have achieved good results.

After receiving the strong support of the emperor, some court officials and Liaodong generals consciously stood under the banner of Duke Wei and became the main members of the first generation of eunuch party leadership group with Duke Wei as the core.

...At the time of the Tianqi period, Duke Wei and his Shu Zhongxian were widely erected, and people at that time called him "the big and small" a thousand years old. Excerpted from the folk novel "Silijian"

…………….

The peaceful settlement of Jingcheng made Eunuch Wei happy that he didn't sleep all day, but then the statistics work of Jingchengfuku made his father-in-law unable to laugh.

I have to say that the North Korean people are so poor.

The treasury of a great Protectorate was worth only more than 80,000 taels in total, including gold, silver and copper coins. In addition, the compensation funds from the previous counties were only more than 300,000 taels in total.

What does this mean? It is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty province.

How can this work?

My father-in-law worked so hard with the soldiers of the Imperial Army and came to the vassal states for thousands of miles. After a long time, it would be better to borrow more money from the salt merchants in Yangzhou. Isn’t this nonsense!

My father-in-law has three hatreds in his life, one hates others who are more handsome and older than him; the other hates others who are too beautiful; the third hates others who are poorer than him.

Therefore, special means must be used in special periods.

Otherwise, this little money would not be enough to deal with the emperor.

The government can’t get money for this, so the father-in-law can only spread the money to get a household.

My father-in-law summoned Park Jung-tae, who was temporarily appointed as the commander of the Protectorate of Jingcheng, and a group of Jingcheng civil and military officials, who were in pain and expressed their difficulties in life and could not even be reimbursed for the trip back...

So, the Protectorate Office quickly took action. On that day, the three classes of civilians, middle-aged people and nobles in the city were notified by the yamen that they would contribute to the great Daming soldiers.

In order to prevent these North Korean officials from levying bribes under the banner of themselves and the Ming Dynasty, they ruined the names of their father-in-law and the Ming Dynasty, so they repeatedly emphasized that all articles are love, saying that the people must voluntarily donate and must not be forced.

In order to prevent censors from impeaching him after returning to China, my father-in-law also made this request explicitly to prove his innocence. He also sent officers and soldiers to supervise the North Korean side to prevent situations that my father-in-law would not want to see.

Of course, out of sympathy for ordinary people, especially the poor, my father-in-law removed the poor from the donation ranks. However, due to manpower, during the specific implementation, the officials in Jingcheng strictly implemented the orders of their father-in-law, and it was really impossible to find out whether the officials in Jingcheng strictly implemented their father-in-law's orders.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of wealthy families in Jingcheng to donate, my father-in-law sat in the jail at the Protectorate Office for three consecutive days, only to commend the Korean gentry and wealthy families who donated large amounts of money.

This move has indeed received great praise and the effect is obvious.

Within three days, the people of Jingcheng enthusiastically donated more than 50,000 taels of war compensation, and the tired father-in-law could no longer carry his sword.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

When the people of Jingcheng were united, the nearby Ping'an Road was ready to move.

According to the horse striking news, Ping'an Road has gathered an elite army in Hongyuan Mansion, which is adjacent to the capital of Jingcheng, with a force of less than 10,000, including the Northern Imperial Army with 2,400 people as the main force.

This army was obviously aimed at the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, but it may be that the Peace Road has not received a clear reply from Seoul, so it has not moved for a long time.

However, the less moving the Peace Road, the more uneasy the North Korean officials in Jingcheng were.

Only with everyone going into the water can everyone have a good idea. Eunuch Wei’s close comrade-in-arms Park Jung-taeji and his father-in-law lobbying him to patrol the Ping'an Road.

However, his father-in-law was not very motivated because he found that North Korea was really too poor. At least the Japanese army had not been asked to sweep the Japanese army on Jingcheng, but the Japanese army had been asked to penetrate the other side of Peace Road. Therefore, if the Imperial Army went there, it might not be able to revitalize much funds.

My father-in-law now wants to wait for Seoul to take the initiative to talk to him about the war compensation, so that everyone can open the market.

Whether to patrol the Ping An Road is the next stage of the negotiations on the market or the negotiations cannot be reached. That is, if your Seoul is not satisfied with our family, our family will try Ping An Road again.

Let’s promote talks through fighting and promote peace through conversation.

How can you just know how to fight like a reckless man?
