Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 246
Bai Mingxiu finished attending the awards ceremony here, and there is another official event in the afternoon, this time it is a diplomatic occasion.

The merchant ship from Daming to North Korea brought back the North Korean envoys. The chief envoy, Hong Mingxia, was very good at acting. As soon as he disembarked from the ship in Shanghai, he knelt down and cried bitterly, and read an article that was obviously prepared in advance. The general meaning is that the Korean monarchs and ministers were forced to submit to the pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they were always grateful for the Ming Dynasty, and even built a temple for Emperor Wanli to worship, and dared not forget the grace of regeneration.Today, I can set foot on the orthodox land of China again. I feel refreshed. Is the whole person's spirit sublimated? North Korea is determined to sever its relationship with the Manchu Qing and return to the embrace of Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, some Ming people and ex-Ming survivors were really moved.

Today, Bai Mingxiu received Hong Mingxia and his party at the Li Hotel in Shanghai.

This Hong Mingxia was indeed powerful. After being guided into the hall by the people from the Ministry of Rites, when he saw the Prince Jian Guo sitting in the hall, his eyes were red again, and he bent his knees and knelt down and howled.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also frowned and told Hong Mingxia that his behavior was very rude.

However, Bai Mingxiu waved his hand and said, "During the 13th year of Chongzhen, during the Battle of Songjin, North Korea sent boat divisions to accompany the Qing army to attack our Great Ming Army, which was destroyed. When attacking Jinzhou City later, four hundred North Korean gunners were blocked by the Tartars. Stopping the retreat of our Ming army, resulting in the death of our loyal and brave men of the Ming Dynasty, and you North Korea also made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, creating a great opportunity for the Qing army to attack the outer city of Jinzhou."

Hong Mingxia's complexion changed drastically.

Bai Mingxiu said again: "Later, when Xiaozong of North Korea received a request from the Qing army to conscript 12 Korean soldiers, his ministers such as Jin Shangxian and others strongly dissuaded him by saying, "If you are a minister to the Lord, there is something you can do but you can't follow it." However, Xiaozong Still obey the dispatch; in the eighth year of the Yongli calendar, the Tartars ordered you North Korea to dispatch musketeers to help deal with the Russians. After receiving the order, you did not dare to neglect the slightest, and rushed the musketeers to the Tumen River to aid the Qing army. This loyalty You are much more enthusiastic than you were in the Ming Dynasty. In the [-]th year of the Yongli calendar, you went to Heilongjiang to support the Manchus in fighting Lao Maozi, and you also received great compensation and rewards from the Qing court."

Bai Mingxiu had a half-smile but a dangerous expression on his face, and he said, "Come on, envoy Hong, come and tell me, is North Korea loyal to Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty?"

Listening to Bai Mingxiu's words, Hong Mingxia trembled badly, lying on the ground, she didn't dare to raise her head, and she didn't know how to answer.

Bai Mingxiu's face turned severe, and he shouted: "In the Wanli Korean War, my Ming Dynasty lost nearly 4 troops (actually about 6 to [-]) to save North Korea, spent millions of military funds, and even gave Jiannu Taking advantage of this opportunity, you have been killed in Shenzhou, and tens of millions of people have suffered. You North Korea played a good hand, and you can still keep your clothes and crowns. At this point, you can die."

This really stunned Hong Mingxia. He originally thought that he was an envoy of the North Korean vassal state, and Daming was originally a country that cared about face, so he was very tolerant.As long as they expressed their surrender to Daming, Daming must have treated them very well, and even bestowed them with a lot of gold and silver treasures.

He also thought that apart from what was left to the King of Korea, he could also deduct a sum of property privately. For the barren North Korea, any treasure from the Central Plains Dynasty was very precious to them.

However, the script did not proceed like this. The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty came up and condemned North Korea's injustice with righteous words, and made an appearance that he wanted to be held accountable.Hong Mingxia really didn't dare to make trouble in front of Bai Mingxiu. The past Korean dynasties had a strong sense of trivialism, and even passed down to the era before Bai Mingxiu crossed over. The political atmosphere was the same, regardless of North Korea and South Korea.

And realistically speaking, Hong Mingxia has already felt that the Manchu Qing ship is already a broken ship that is about to sink, and the Ming Dynasty dominated by the Han people is still the master of China.The Ming Dynasty had elite ships, artillery and fast guns, and the Koreans had already basically understood these things.They knew that Manqing would perish sooner or later, so they could choose to change the family so simply.

In fact, when Bai Mingxiu took Guangdong, Nanming's merchant ships had already gone to North Korea, bringing news of Daming's resurgence, but at that time, the Koreans did not contact Daming immediately. On the contrary, by this time, Daming had already controlled the entire south. The Manchus showed their loyalty belatedly when it was obvious that they did not have the skills to turn themselves around. This is enough to explain the problem.

Daming captured Guangdong across the sea, so Daming can also attack the Korean Peninsula across the sea.If the crown prince Jianguo was really furious and sent troops to attack the disobedient ministers, then North Korea would surely be defeated.

After the Wanli Korean War, North Korea was seriously injured, its population dropped to only one-tenth of its pre-war level, and its finances were exhausted.Huang Taiji attacked North Korea twice, which caused a very tragic blow to North Korea.

In addition, the North Korean side also heard that because Annan took refuge in the Manchu Qing and became an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, he even handed over the officials loyal to the Ming Dynasty to the Manchu Qing, and was punished by the Ming Dynasty.Now, in Annan, only the Ruan family is still reluctantly resisting. The forces of the Zheng family and the Mo family have been almost wiped out by the Ming army. They even directly established Jiaozhi Province in Annan and became part of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of Annan's example, Hong Mingxia broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Highness, our country's grievance by the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only an expedient measure. Emperor Xiaozong also conscripted troops to prepare for war, intending to make the Northern Expedition and restore the Ming Dynasty! The whole country is grateful for the kindness of the Ming Dynasty. However, the country is small and weak, and it is difficult to protect itself. Not to mention being driven by the Holy Son of Heaven..."

Bai Mingxiu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about such nonsense, my attitude is very clear. North Korea's dishonesty and injustice to Daming, and even stabbing Daming in the back, is an unforgivable crime. Even if you don't Come, sooner or later I will send troops to attack."

Hong Mingxia trembled.

Bai Mingxiu changed the subject: "If you want to put an end to the war and the suffering of the people, you must accept the following conditions."

Hong Ming Xia Xindao came, and asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness, please show me."

"Change the name of the country and change it to the Daming Korean vassal state, which is a part of my Ming Dynasty. The Korean royal family came to Daming to plead guilty in person. It has been 30 years since Daming. North Korea's political affairs. Daming set up the Korean Propaganda Department to replace the Korean court. The Xuanfu envoy led the Korean officials to govern, and the Korean system was fully determined by the Ming Dynasty. North Korea sent Confucian students to the Ming Dynasty to study, learn from the Ming Dynasty, and educate the legal principles, so that they can return to benevolence and righteousness."

Hong Mingxia was shocked, "Your Highness is trying to destroy Korea!"

Bai Mingxiu grinned, showing his big white teeth, and said, "What do you want, can't you?"
