One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Ziqian asked: "Your Majesty, what conditions did they propose?"

Wang Kai said: "Grand Master, you can see for yourself."

After reading it, Li Ziqian said: "Master Jin, this pirate leader Li Xin, what do you think of this person?"

Jin Fushi replied: "This man is extremely insidious and cunning, and he seems to know a lot about my affairs in Korea."

Li Ziqian was surprised and said: "Oh, you know me very well about Korea, how can you understand me?"

Jin Fushi said: "He can call out the names of the late king and the king, and he also knows the age of the king. He also knows about Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing. I think he must know more about my country, Goryeo."

Li Ziqian said: "Then this person is indeed a bit scary. Apart from these conditions, what else can he say?"

Kim Bo-seok replied: "He also said that he would only give us seven days to consider. If we don't agree after seven days, he will start to block our coastal areas."

Li Ziqian asked: "Master Jin, could this Li Xin be sent by the Song Dynasty to pretend to be a pirate to occupy our Tamluo Island?"

Jin Fushi shook his head and said: "I can't see it. I've seen what the Song Navy looks like. This group of pirates is obviously more well-trained and stronger than the Song Navy, and their warships are no different from the Song Dynasty's main ships. They look different.”

Li Ziqian asked again: "Could the powerful weapons in their hands come from the Song Dynasty?"

Jin Fushi said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say, but we can send people to the Song Dynasty to see if there are such weapons on the ships of the Song Dynasty Navy."

Wang Kai said: "Then send someone to the Song Dynasty to have a look."

Li Ziqian nodded and said: "It's okay to send people to the Song Dynasty, but we may not have enough time to get back and forth. The thieves only gave us seven days."

Jin Fushi said: "If we take the waterway, we should be able to get back in seven days, but we still need to discuss this matter in advance."

Tuo Junjing asked: "Master Jin, is it possible for us to give in to these abominable thieves at Licheng Port?"

Jin Fushi shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The leader of the thieves specifically told me not to play tricks in Yecheng Port. This shows that the other party has thought of the possibility of such a thing, and if this group of pirates cannot be wiped out at once, then There will be endless troubles.”

Wang Kai said: "In that case, we can only agree to the thief's request."

Jin Fushi said helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty, we currently do not have the strength to confront the thieves at sea."

Li Ziqian persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should know the story of King Gou Jian of Yue who was forced to sacrifice his life and endure hardships before finally destroying Wu. We need to endure our hardships now. It won't be too late to settle accounts with these thieves when we become stronger."

Wang Kai nodded and said: "Okay, then which of the two sisters of the lonely king does the Grand Master think is best to send?"

Li Ziqian replied: "It is up to the king to decide this matter. I think it is best to draw lots, and whoever catches it will be given away."

Wang Kai sighed and said: "Well, the lonely king knows, let's send someone to the Song Dynasty first. Jin Aiqing will decide who can go to the Song Dynasty. If he doesn't come back in seven days, please ask Jin Aiqing to make another trip to inform the thief. I, Gao Li, agreed to their conditions.”

Jin Fushi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

The seven days came soon, and Wang Kai finally decided to give Wang Mara's eldest daughter, the twelve-year-old Princess Chengde, to Li Xin through drawing lots, and the people sent to the Song Dynasty also rushed back before the seven days came.

After the people who went to the Song Dynasty came back, Wang Kai summoned the ministers again. Wang Kai asked: "Master Jin, what do you say when the people you sent to the Song Dynasty come back?"

Jin Fushi replied: "The person I sent to the Song Dynasty came back and said that he did not find the thieves' type of firearms on the ships of the Song Dynasty Navy, and the main ships of the Song Dynasty Navy were still the same types of ships, which were the same as those used by the thieves. no the same."

Li Ziqian said: "It seems that the thieves on Tamluo Island really have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty officials."

Zheng Keyong asked: "Then can we ask the navy of the Song Dynasty to help me, Korea, to destroy that group of pirates? After all, that group of pirates are also from the Song Dynasty."

Jin Fushi shook his head and said: "No, there is a saying in the Song Dynasty that family scandals should not be made public. If the Song Dynasty court knew that I, Goryeo, could not even defeat a group of pirates, wouldn't it be a joke? It would ruin my Goryeo's face." Why, what price do we have to pay if we invite the Song Navy to send troops? What if the Song Navy captures Tamna Island after winning the battle? Or what if the Song Navy is also defeated by the pirates? So it is absolutely impossible to invite the Song Army to fight the pirates. .”

Wang Kai sighed: "It seems that we can only agree to the thief's request first. Jin Aiqing, you can go to Tamluo Island to answer the thief."

Jin Boushi clasped his fists and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be discouraged. After all, Tamna Island is just a small island. It is incomparable to the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers that I have in Goryeo. Moreover, Tamna Island can't support much." Man, just wait until I, Goryeo, become stronger and stronger, and then I can deal with those pirates."

Wang Kai cheered up and said, "Okay, Jin Aiqing, the lonely king has remembered it."

After Jin Fushi got Wang Kai's order, he quickly came to Tamna Island. After seeing Jin Fushi again, Li Xin said: "Master Jin is here. I don't know what you are thinking about."

Jin Fushi replied: "To the chief, I, the King of Goryeo, have agreed to all the chief's requests and decided to marry Princess Chengde to the chief."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, but it's just empty talk. We need to establish a written document in black and white. Lord Jin, this is a document written by someone. If Lord Jin has no objection, please take it back and let the King of Korea sign and seal it." In three days, I will take the fleet and the captives to Licheng Port to retrieve the money, food, princess and others. Then I will also trouble Mr. Jin to come to Licheng Port to return the documents to Li."

Jin Fushi took the document and looked at it and found that there were no new conditions and said: "Okay, I understand, then I will go back to Korea first."

After Jin Fushi returned to Goryeo, he handed over the document that needed to be signed to Wang Kai and said: "Your Majesty, this is the official document of the Treaty of the Opening of Beijing that the thief gave to me. Please read it. The thief asked the King to sign it." And stamp it with the king’s seal.”

Wang Kai didn't accept the document and said angrily: "King Gu has already agreed to their request. What else do you want to sign and seal? Are they still afraid that King Gu won't keep his word? If King Gu has signed and sealed, where will King Gu be?" In the eyes of the descendants of Goryeo, don’t I think I’m a fool? These thieves are really bullying people, and they don’t care about anyone who bullies me, Goryeo.”

Li Ziqian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to show off. King Gou Jian of Yue also worked as a groom for the King of Wu. The humiliation he suffered was a hundred times more than your Majesty. Besides, the treaty is just a piece of paper. Wait for me When Goryeo becomes stronger, just tear it up, and there is really no need for the king to be angry over this treaty."
