Chapter 903 Shining in the annals of history
In fact, the King of Korea, Li Jue, was the first to be the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. However, after the rise of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was extremely capable of fighting. Once, Huang Taiji advanced to North Korea, and the North Korea was defeated.
Even the Qing army crossed the sea to capture Jianghua Island, and the crown prince and two great kings became prisoners, which became the last straw that overwhelmed Renzu's monarch and his ministers. In desperation, North Korea accepted the alliance proposed by the Qing Dynasty to cut off absolute Ming ties and pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Niu wore a blue-stained suit and rode a white horse. He led the prince and more than 50 followers out of the west gate of Nanhan Mountain City. He performed the ceremony of three kneeling and nine kowtowings to Huang Taiji at Santiandu on the south bank of the Han River, and then changed his sable fur to thank him. From then on, North Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty took away the prince Zhaoxian, who was hostage, and the great king Fenglin and about 500,000 Korean prisoners back to the country. The three scholars of Hong Yihan, Yin Ji and Wu Daji who strongly advocated the rebellion were also taken to Shengjing to execute him. After that, North Korea not only paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty, but also forced to send troops to help the Qing Dynasty attack the Ming Dynasty.
Li Jue was completely afraid of being beaten. After that, he obeyed the Qing Dynasty as much as possible and hated the ministers who were ashamed of being sanctioned by the Qing Dynasty. He believed that the humiliation he suffered was caused by the rebukes of the He faction, and directly rebuked the He faction to "mislead the country". He also said: "This generation put aside the survival of the country, so he wanted to occupy a good reputation, and the party attacked the stranger, and even destroyed the country. This was very hateful!"
In fact, this is understandable. After all, the Ming Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself. The ministers in the court also personally followed the Ming Dynasty, but Li Yu's sons were taken to the Qing Dynasty as hostages.
At first, Li Jue's name was to personally dismiss the Ming Dynasty, so later Li Jue's kneeling towards the Qing Dynasty naturally disappointed people. After the Bingzi chaos, a wave of resignation and retirement began in the court. These Korean scholars and officials were deeply disappointed that the emperor was bowing towards the Qing Dynasty, and they were still fantasizing that the Ming Dynasty would become stronger one day.
However, the Ming Dynasty was actually difficult to return, and the Korean King Lee Nei began to become suspicious. He poisoned his son, Prince Zhaoxian, and ignored the opposition of most ministers, and insisted on his own actions. He personally ordered his daughter-in-law Jiang Shi Min Huaibin to be killed, and his three grandsons, Prince Zhaoxian, were exiled to Jeju Island and let him die.
Now is different from the past. The Ming Dynasty is now becoming stronger at this time. The Ming Dynasty has long been in a bid to conquer the Qing Dynasty.
However, the domestic situation has not stabilized, and the road to combating corruption is quite long. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty, which had just emerged from the brink of destruction, was in chaos and was in trouble, and really had no energy to go north to attack the Qing Dynasty.
In the grand building of Yu Changde Palace, Li Ju looked at the civil and military officials below: "You are saying a word, how can we raise 300,000 stones of grain?"
Changdeokgung Palace, also known as Dongque, is also one of the five major palaces in Seoul. It was built by Emperor Taizong of Korea after Gyeongbok Palace in the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.
Changdeokgung Palace was originally the Le Palace of the King of Korea, and in the late Joseon Dynasty it replaced Gyeongbok Palace as a main palace for a long time. The pavilions of Changdeokgung Palace were designed completely according to the natural terrain. It is the most natural palace in the Joseon Palace and the most complete palace preserved in the Joseon Palace.
Changde Palace has been rebuilt many times, and the area and building volume of the palace strictly follow the relationship between the vassal states and vassal states with China.
The ministers were silent, and the Qing Dynasty was crazy about poverty. After Dorgon became the regent, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty dropped sharply. Even frictions occurred with his ally Mongolian tribes.
You know, when Huang Taiji was alive, he fought fiercely with Mongolia. Huang Taiji joined forces with Mongolia to attack the Ming Dynasty and made a lot of money.
Now that the family is poor, conflicts arise. Without a common interest relationship, the previous allies of both sides will instantly tear their faces apart.
The domestic situation was chaotic and there was no trade income. The Qing Dynasty was in a quiet corner and relied on the weather to make a living in the deep mountains and forests.
Once the heavens do not do good, all the people of the tribe will face the fate of starvation. Before, they made their fortunes by robbery, and whoever has the strong fists will have the right to speak. But now that the Ming Dynasty has cheated, he is no match for others. If he can't beat the Ming Dynasty, he can only think of other ways.
Originally, there were some unscrupulous merchants who made money from the Ming Dynasty who had made money from the national crisis to the Qing Dynasty. However, those unscrupulous merchants have been executed by the Ming Dynasty court.
What should I do? The people in China have to have a meal. Dorgon, who was anxious, so he shamelessly extended his hand to his vassal state, North Korea.
Dorgon forced North Korea to take out 300,000 stones of grain to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty within three months. Otherwise, they would use their troops to directly enter the capital of North Korea.
Li Wu was scared. Faced with such a hungry wolf who was not full, he hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.
The ministers in the court were well aware of the principle that there was no end to the eggs when the nest was destroyed, so they rolled up their sleeves and stood up ready to go.
"Your Majesty, this Qing Dynasty is a lion who speaks out loud. Not to mention that we don't have 300,000 stones of food, we even give it to them all, what should we do? How should our people live?"
"That's right, why can't you watch your people hand over the food to the Qing Dynasty and starve to death."
"If it really doesn't work, let's fight him! Anyway, it's all dead, and the Qing Dynasty bullies too much!"
"Work, how to fight? What to fight? Can we beat these Qing troops like wolves and tigers?"
"We have to fight if we can't beat them. We can't see us being bullied like this. We have a lot of annual tributes and a lot of annual tributes every year, but the Qing Dynasty is still aggressive. Is this going to force us to death?"
"Why don't we send an envoy to Ming Kingdom for help?"
The ministers in the court were collectively stunned and went to Ming Kingdom to ask for help... Yes, the Ming Dynasty is extremely strong at the moment. As long as they are willing to accept North Korea's surrender again, North Korea will be saved.
It was as if a ray of light appeared in the darkness, and it was as if a straw appeared in the person who fell into the water.
Or, in the cold snow, someone sent warm charcoal fires. The Ming Dynasty became North Korea's best hope.
North Korean King Li Yu soon sent a group of envoys. Because North Korea was still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty at this time, they did not dare to go to the Ming Dynasty blatantly. In desperation, they had to send envoys to disguise themselves.
These envoys dressed as smuggling merchants and arrived at Dengzhou in the Ming Dynasty by boat by sea. Then they suffered a hardship and finally arrived in the capital.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had just experienced the baptism of factory greed and finally gradually became formal when the North Korean envoy arrived.
If you have money, you have confidence, and if you have strong force, Emperor Chongzhen will be more confident.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that his chance to become famous has come, and of course it is not appropriate to describe an emperor. To be precise, it is famous in history.
