Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 675 Is it reasonable to betray the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty?
Nanjing, the same hall.

As an institution for the Ming Dynasty to entertain foreign envoys, the Huitong Pavilion had 480 rooms when it was first built, and it was divided into two districts, the north and the south.

The northern area entertains envoys from the Western Regions and northern nomadic peoples, while the southern area is used to entertain envoys from Korea, Japan, the southeastern peninsula of Ryukyu, and Southeast Asian countries.

Later Yongle moved the capital, and most of the envoys who were divided into the southern area were received by Nanjing.

In addition, Nanjing relies on Jiangnan and is not short of money. Today, the Nanjing Huitong Hall has not only not become dilapidated with the passage of time, but has more rooms and is more decently built.

Because the North Korean mission was not small, and there were no envoys from other countries to receive them in the same embassy, ​​the North Korean mission was arranged in a rather large compound with three entrances.

The regular meals arranged by the Huitong Hall are not rich, but definitely nutritious and delicious.

This kind of hospitality is not bad, but the chief envoy Jin Xiaocheng and the deputy Cui Wenxiu were sad and moaning all day long.

Because they have been in Nanjing for more than two years, but they have not been summoned by Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Dynasty, not even the senior officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

"Some time ago, people from China came to urge again, saying that the Qing Dynasty sent troops to Seoul, intimidating the king and his ministers to help recruit troops and food.

Therefore, even if the North Korean monarchs wanted to deny the matter of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they would not be able to do so.

If you insist on doing it, maybe without the help of Daming, their wave of North Korean monarchs and ministers will be gone.

Why do you say it is just similar to the previous Ming Dynasty official uniform?

North Korea was the first vassal state of Ming Dynasty before, and it’s good to be a die-hard fan, but the problem is that you didn’t make it to the end, you surrendered to Ming’s mortal enemy Qing, and even sent troops and food to help Qing fight against Ming.

Jin Xiaocheng once explained in a letter that in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally conquered North Korea and broke through Seoul. The North Korean monarchs and ministers did not escape. In order to avoid being destroyed, they had to surrender on their knees.

It was a last resort for you to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty in North Korea. So Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and other Ming officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to do so when their lives were threatened?

Second assistant Ma Shiying summoned?
Kim Hyo Sung and Cui Wenxiu were overjoyed when they heard this.

Cui Wenxiu wanted to debate again when he heard people calling from outside.

In the words of the officials at Honglu Temple who contacted them, it is: Since you are showing sincerity, you have to think about what to do. How can I, Daming, make a request directly?

"I don't know what's up with Shangguan?" Jin Xiaocheng asked expectantly.

Overjoyed, the two did not forget about etiquette.

The problem is that now North Korea has been too deeply controlled by the Qing Dynasty, and almost all the monarchs and ministers suffer from typhoid.Therefore, they cannot do this first one, which is also a necessary one.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly, His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu is a man of destiny, with supernatural powers and magic weapons, so that in the future, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will surely catch up with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Is the North Korean envoy in the embassy right now?"

In other words, North Korea's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was a last resort for survival.

Now rushing to the dog leg who has been the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, it is useless to say anything.

The two also knew something about the Ming Dynasty Hall. Although Ma Shiying, the second assistant, had a bad reputation, he was considered one of Emperor Zhaowu's cronies.

Hearing Jin Xiaocheng's words, Cui Wenxiu couldn't help being dumbfounded, and said: "How can the envoy Jin have such thoughts? Don't you hear that loyalty does not serve two masters?"

It is a pity that no matter how hard the two of them inquired or resorted to various means, they could not know the specific conditions of Daming.

In fact, when Huang Taiji broke through Seoul, there were indeed a group of upright and upright ministers in North Korea who were going to die for the country and were loyal to Ming Dynasty.

Brother Wuwei (Cui Wenxiu), to tell the truth, I have asked someone to secretly bring my family to Daming.

They are very afraid of death.

It's a pity that the king of Joseon, Li Ji, and the senior civil and military officials in power chose to bow their knees and surrender because they were afraid of death.

If these people are forgiven, how can Ming Dynasty be worthy of those heroes of Ming Dynasty who did not surrender in the face of foreign enemies, lived and died with the city, and died defending the country and the people?
As soon as these words came out, Kim Hyo-sung and Cui Wenxiu, who were baptized in conservative Confucian loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, were speechless.

If the subjugation of Korea is inevitable, you and I might as well stay in Daming.With your and my knowledge and talents, not to mention being a high-ranking official, but being a small official is absolutely no problem, and it may not be as good as being an official in North Korea. "

After about 10 minutes, the two changed into North Korean official uniforms similar to the previous Ming Dynasty official uniforms and came out.

Daming doesn't like to hear this.

If this continues, not only the Ping'an Road and Xianning Road will be taken away by the Qing Dynasty, but even the Yellow Sea Road may not be able to keep it. "

"Just go."

Among the soldiers and horses that entered the customs from the Qing Dynasty, there were [-] to [-] Korean soldiers, and a considerable number of them were captured by the Ming Dynasty, and they are still used as hard labor to atone for their sins.

After discussing with the monarchs and ministers of North Korea, they felt that the first thing to express their repentance and sincerity was to draw a clear line with the Qing Dynasty and no longer provide money, food and soldiers to the Qing Dynasty.

Jin Xiaocheng retorted: "North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of Joseon was granted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You and I are also considered subjects of the Ming Dynasty. How can we count as two masters when we become officials in the Ming Dynasty?"

"In the!"

The green-robed official said calmly: "I don't dare to be an official, I'm just a messenger. The second assistant wants to meet you two at Honglu Temple, please follow me."

Having been in Nanjing for so long, the two naturally figured out the attitude of the Ming emperor and the court.

Although he had thought of a way out, if North Korea survived, he would of course choose to be a high-ranking official in North Korea.

After hearing this, the two hurried back to their respective rooms and asked the servants to help them change their clothes and tidy up their appearance.

Kim Hyo Sung thought the same way, but he took a more open view.

However, Ming Dynasty deserves to be a kingdom of heaven. After Kim Hyo-sung and Cui Wenxiu's explanations and pleadings, they still agreed to give North Korea a chance to reform.

Jin Xiaocheng said: "Shangguan, please wait a moment, let's go and clean up a little bit before leaving."

As long as North Korea can show its due sincerity to Daming and satisfy Emperor Zhaowu of Daming and his ministers, they will have the opportunity to become the vassal younger brother of Daming again.

Therefore, he was looking forward to things turning around—it was the first time that the officials of Honglu Temple took the initiative to find them, which made him think too much.

Seeing no one around, he said in a low voice: "The rise and fall of a dynasty is inevitable. It has been two or three hundred years since the founding of the Joseon Dynasty of the Lee family. Even if it perishes, it is normal.

If I, Da Ming, really did that, wouldn't it appear that I, Da Ming, took advantage of others and bullied the weak?
Afterwards, the two of them sent a letter back and told the monarchs and ministers in North Korea about the matter.

So, the process of becoming Daming's little brother again got stuck...
"Could it be that North Korea is doomed to perish?" Thinking about the domestic situation, Cui Wenxiu couldn't help feeling desperate.

What's more, they set up officials in Xianning Road and Ping'an Road to establish a rule, and tempted the people to shave their hair and change their clothes, so that they could become obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing Cui Wenxiu's words, Jin Xiaocheng frowned even tighter, and said: "Why don't I know what you said? But Daming can't see the sincerity of my North Korean repentance, so the higher-ups don't want to see me and wait, and I don't know." any idea?"

The two stopped arguing, and hurriedly responded loudly and walked out quickly.

In the front yard, the two saw someone coming—a green-robed official from Honglu Temple.

If Daming forgave North Korea because of this, wouldn't it mean that Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and other ministers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty could be forgiven?

Because in the Zhaowu Dynasty, the costumes of Ming officials changed.

Mainly the official uniforms and regular uniforms of officials, although they are basically the same as before, but they have become more self-cultivating.A little bit of dignity is missing, but it makes the officials look heroic and capable, and it is more convenient to do things.

As for official dresses, court clothes, and sacrificial clothes, since they are only worn on special occasions, nothing has changed.

　First more.
