Ming Zuo

Chapter 887 Surrender and Perseverance

As a king, when Li Zhen exposed his weakness, North Korea's last breath was broken.

All the North Korean troops in Namhansan City breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons one after another.

As representatives, Mafuta and Lausa came to the foot of Namhansan Mountain, and read Huang Taiji's edict to the Korean monarchs and ministers.

This time it was carried out in accordance with the method of the Ming Dynasty's edict to the North Korean accompanying ministers.

In other words, the Manchu Qing officially regarded North Korea as its own vassal state.

North Korea has completely laid down, no longer raised any protests, and humiliatedly accepted Huang Taiji's edict.

Completely achieved the goal, Huang Taiji seemed very tolerant.In the imperial edict, he announced that Li Zhen was pardoned for his crimes, and at the same time put forward several conditions.

And each of these conditions is like a sharp knife, slashing at North Korea's body.

First, North Korea paid the Ming Dynasty's edict and seal to the Qing Dynasty, severed the suzerain-vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, suspended the Ming Dynasty's reign title, and respected the Qing Dynasty as Zhengshuo.

Second, hand over the eldest son and another prince as hostages, and the remaining North Korean ministers must also send their children to Shengjing.

Third, North Korea is obliged to assist the Manchu Qing in attacking Ming Dynasty.

Fourth, every Qing Dynasty Holy Festival, Zheng Dynasty, Winter Solstice and Empress and Crown Prince Qianqiu Festival, North Korea must follow the old practice of congratulating the Ming Dynasty to congratulate them.

Fifth, after crossing the Yalu River, North Korean captives who fled back to North Korea must be sent back and not taken in.However, they can be redeemed by paying money according to the wishes of the captives.

Sixth, North Korea must marry the nobles of the Qing Dynasty.

Seventh, North Korea shall not repair old and new cities.

Eighth, North Korea must return all Varkas (that is, Wuliangha) in its territory.

Ninth, allow North Korea to continue to trade with Japan, but must assist the Manchu Qing to communicate with Japan.

Ten, North Korea can no longer trade with the Varkas outside the Tumen River. If they encounter Varkas, they must be sent to the Qing Dynasty.

Eleventh, North Korea must make an annual tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Every time Mafuta read a sentence, the cry of the North Koreans increased by one point.

Everyone knows that if these conditions are implemented, North Korea will be absolutely shattered and helpless.

However, under the vanguard of the Qing army, what else can they do in order to survive?

The thirtieth day of the first lunar month is the most humiliating day for North Korea.

On this day, Li Zhen was like a puppet, allowing the eunuchs to remove the king's clothes one by one, and put on the most humble blue dyed clothes.

Watched by all the North Korean subjects crying loudly, Li Yan could only walk out of Namhan Mountain City step by step on his own feet, and came to Sandiandu.

And here, the Surrender Altar has already been established.

Under the canopy of Huang Luo, Huang Taiji sat on the top of the Surrender Altar, overlooking the entire land of North Korea.

Li Jing led the North Korean ministers to the surrender altar.

The monarchs of the two countries who were originally brothers, but now the other party is superior, and I have to bow to him three times and nine times.

Li Zhen was heartbroken as if dying, but it was better than really dying.

To say that the most proud person at this moment is definitely not Huang Taiji who conquered North Korea, but Zheng Mingshou who stood on the surrender altar and watched North Korea's monarchs and ministers endure humiliation.

This slave who used to be as cheap as a dog in North Korea now finally has the pleasure of revenge.

"The lord of North Korea bows three times and kowtows nine times to His Majesty the Qing Emperor!!!!"

Following his order, Li Zhen let out a long sigh, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down bit by bit on the muddy and dirty ground.

And with his kneeling, North Korea truly surrendered.

Right behind Li Zhen, all the North Korean ministers who were kneeling all over the ground had no face to look up, and many of them were sobbing.

Cui Mingji watched Li Zhen staggering to his knees, staggering to stand up, repeating the salutation continuously, even crying in a mess.

He was accused by thousands of people and endured eternal infamy, but the real painstaking efforts can only be borne by himself.

Under the dark clouds of Sandadu, the sky of North Korea collapsed.

In the mountain city of Namhan, Kim Sang-heon hung the saber on his waist.When he turned around, he met the eyes of Zheng Yun, Yin Huang and others.

"My lord, are you really going to leave?"

Kim Sang-heon bowed solemnly to several people.

"North Korea here is dead, I need to rebuild North Korea's muscles and bones, and I ask you to help me."

After Zheng Yun, Yin Huang and others heard his words, it can be said that heaven and man are at war, and they are entangled in every possible way.

"Will we become rebels in this way?"

Kim Sang-heon was extremely serious.

"If the ruler betrays the country and lives on, disregarding the lives of thousands of people, then the rule of law is not upright, morality is not established, and everyone can kill him."

Yin Huang turned and looked outside the city.

I happened to see those North Korean soldiers who put down their weapons, not only did not receive preferential treatment, but were being escorted all the way away by the Qing army.

There are also innocent North Korean civilians who have suffered such treatment.

Countless men, women, old and young, like lambs in this bitingly cold weather, are about to be taken to an unknown distance.

At this very moment, there are many more people suffering from the same fate in various parts of North Korea.

So many Koreans have all become victims of the king's weakness.

The scene of heaven and earth mourning deeply aroused Zheng Yun, Yin Huang and other key officials of the denunciation peace faction.

They finally strengthened their confidence and worshiped Kim Sang-heon to the end at the same time.

"In the future, we will go through wind, frost, rain and fire, even with swords and arrows, but we will not change our ambitions. I swear to follow the court judge and repeat the strength of the Korean mountains and rivers."

A group of like-minded people finally reached an agreement.

Led by Kim Sang-heon, several people left Namhansan City from another direction.

Because North Korea had surrendered and the Qing army's siege of Namhan Mountain City was lifted, the departure of several people did not encounter difficulties.

They were moving fast, and three days later they encountered a group of North Korean troops.

"My lord, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Finally meeting Kim Sang-heon and the others, Shen Yan let out a sigh of relief.

This time he led the army northward to serve the king, and received a total of two tasks.

One is to consume the power of the Gyeongsang-do Neizhuhe faction, and the other is to wait for an opportunity to meet Kim Sang-heon and others.

Originally, Shen Yan was very skeptical that Kim Sang-heon was trapped in Namhan Mountain City, how to get out?
From the looks of it now, everything was within Xia Guo's calculations.

Kim Sang-heon couldn't care less about being tired.

"We ran out taking advantage of the chaos in the city. I believe that suspicion has been aroused at this moment. If the Qing army catches up, we will die without a place to die. We must rush to Busan as soon as possible, set up our flag of righteousness, and call on all parts of North Korea to rise up Only by resisting can there be hope of success.”

Everyone already had a deep feeling for the strength of the Qing army, and they didn't dare to delay in fear, and rushed to Busan overnight.

In the process of fleeing, Kim Sang-heon did not delay.He kept sending people to various places in Gyeongsang-do to contact members of the Western People's Party.

Once they set up a banner in Busan, not to mention what will happen to the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Li Jing will be furious.

At that time, the Western People's Party scattered all over the country will probably be liquidated.

These can obviously be used to strengthen oneself, so there is no need to leave it to the surrender faction.

　In order to write this period of history, I went to watch "Namhan Mountain City" filmed by Koreans.

　　It has to be said that Koreans dare to fake in such a serious subject matter.

　　In the play, the person who came back after receiving the king's order turned out to be Kim Sang-heon, not Shen Qiyuan.

　　And at the end of the movie, Kim Sang-heon committed suicide and died for his country.

　　In the real history, Kim Sang-heon was alive and well, and a few years later he met Cui Ming-gil in the prison of Shengtiandi.
