The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 332
The day after Jiang Chuan received the imperial decree, Hu Zongxian also sent good news from Shengjing.

The right army led by Ran Wu broke through the old city of Hetuala, the land of Longxing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, beheading more than [-] Manchu people.Daishan, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, was killed on the spot by artillery fire during the siege.

In this battle, in addition to capturing a large number of Manchu nobles, more than 1 Manchurians were also captured.

At the same time, the right army led by Di Qing, who crossed the Yalu River, fought a battle with the Manchu and Qing Korean garrisons who rushed over.Under the fierce artillery fire of Jiang's army, Duoduo's army was quickly defeated.

Not long after Duduo escaped, he was captured and killed by the Xinluo army who set up an ambush halfway, and sent his head to Di Qing's army.

The death of Duoduo caused the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea to collapse. Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla all sent envoys to visit Di Qing, and presented the king's autographed and printed royal letters, asking Di Qing to ask the emperor of Ming Dynasty Express their willingness to return to the arms of Daming.

Di Qing was amused, the news from these three small countries was so closed, yet he didn't know that Emperor Daming was in danger, and he still wanted to continue hugging Daming's thigh.

Di Qing told them that the Tartars in Liaodong were destroyed by Wu'an Hou Jiangchuan, and it was Wu'an Hou Jiangchuan, not the Ming emperor, who saved them from the Three Kingdoms of Korea.So either swear allegiance to Marquis Wu'an, or wait for the army to approach the city.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were dumbfounded when they heard Di Qing's unceremonious and threatening words, and the expression on his face as he held the Wang Shu seemed to want to hang himself.

When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms went back and told the story, the kings of the Three Kingdoms were also dumbfounded.After the three kings sent people to inquire about it, they finally learned about the real situation in Daming from the merchants who came to North Korea by sea from Daming to do business.

After understanding the real situation in Ming Dynasty, the kings of the Three Kingdoms of Korea finally realized that Daming could not count on it now, and then they realized that they had no other choice.

The king of Silla quickly sent a special envoy to meet Di Qing, and after some discussions, the special envoy returned with Di Qing's intentions.

The kings of Goguryeo and Baekje, who were preempted by Silla, scolded Silla for being shameless, and at the same time urgently sent the king's special envoy to meet Di Qing.

Finally, after several rounds of discussions, the kings of the Three Kingdoms of Korea and Di Qing held an alliance, and Di Qing signed a contract with the Three Kingdoms on behalf of Jiang Chuan.

The main content of the contract is also very simple.

The first item is the garrison.On the Korean peninsula, Jiang’s army sent troops to station for protection. According to their national strength, the three countries provided Jiang’s army with 500 million taels of military expenses and 100 million orders of food and grass every year, and paid for other expenses of the garrison.

In return, if foreign enemies invade the Korean peninsula, Jiang's army is obliged to protect the security of the three countries.

During the non-war period, all actions of the garrison are at the discretion of the Jiang family army, and the three North Korean countries have no right to interfere.If the soldiers of Jiang's army violated the laws of the three kingdoms of Korea, the local government has no right to deal with them, and the Jiang's army must handle them by themselves.

The second main content is the opening of various trading ports. Merchant caravans from Liaodong to North Korea for business must be protected by the local governments of North Korea, and the business tax collection rate should not exceed [-]%.If these businessmen violate local laws, they must not be dealt with by the local government of North Korea. Instead, the garrison must set up a temporary court to try and deal with them.

Of course, there is a major premise here that these businessmen must hold the business certificate issued by the Liaodong Shipping Department to enjoy the above treatment.

The third item is that the garrison has the priority to purchase all kinds of materials from the three countries of North Korea under the premise that the price is reasonable, and the local government must not interfere.

These clauses were proposed by Di Qing. Di Qing understood Jiang Chuan's idea of ​​valuing merchants very well, so in the second clause of the contract, he proposed the opening of treaty ports.

As for the third item, it should be written in the treaty in case of emergencies.

In order to facilitate the addition of supplementary clauses in the future, a clause was added at the back, "If there are any unfinished matters, it will be supplemented after the Jiang family's army proposes it in cooperation with the three countries."

If this treaty is a standard unequal treaty from the perspective of future generations, it will arouse the anger of the people.

But for the three kingdoms of Korea, which had experienced the brutal oppression and ravages of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the savage and invincible Manchu Eight Banners being crushed by Jiang's army before, the three countries of North Korea and North Korea all gasped, and only then did they realize that there is no strongest in the world, only stronger.

Looking at the fierce and cruel Jiang family army, and looking back at the soft-footed shrimp-like army in his own country, the kings of the Three Kingdoms are already mentally prepared for Di Qing lion's big mouth, ready to be squeezed.

But I didn't expect that after the final treaty came out, the three countries were very surprised.

The three main contents of the treaty, except for the garrison of the first article and the provision of 500 million taels of silver for military expenses and 100 million stones of food and grass, which made the kings of the three countries a little bit painful, the remaining two are nothing to them at all.

The garrison is not a big deal, and even for the Three Kingdoms, there is a faint feeling that it is well deserved.With such a strong military protection, their sense of security has also been greatly increased.If there were another invasion of barbaric enemies like the Manchu Tartars, they would not be vulnerable to surrender.

As for the location of the garrison barracks, a piece of land was circled at the junction of the three countries as the garrison barracks. The barracks were jointly recruited by the three countries to build the barracks under the supervision of the Jiang family army.

At the same time, the three countries will deliver the first batch of 100 million taels of military expenditure and 20 shi of grain and grass for military use within half a month.

Although the three countries on the Korean peninsula are also one country, they are really not that big.The largest Goguryeo has a radius of only 1000 miles, Silla has a radius of more than [-] miles, and Baekje has a radius of less than [-] miles.

However, although the land areas of these three countries are small, there is still a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated.In particular, there are five great lakes at the junction of the three countries. These five great lakes have vast waters, countless fish and shrimps, and each of them is connected by waterways.

These five great lakes can be said to be the richest and most pleasant places in the entire Korean peninsula.Moreover, the land around the Great Lakes is rich and fertile, and it can be said to be the most famous land of fish and rice and grain-producing areas in the entire Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, although 500 million taels of silver is a lot for the Three Kingdoms, it is not too much, and it will not cause injuries.

Of course, the reason why Di Qing asked to station troops at the Great Lakes, the place where the three countries meet, also had the intention of deterring the three countries of North Korea.As long as they are dishonest in the future, and the army moves directly, the food road of the Three Kingdoms will be cut off, which is equivalent to choking the neck of the Three Kingdoms at once.

After the treaty was signed, Di Qing stamped his general's seal again, and after exchanging the contract with the Three Kingdoms, he quickly sent someone back to Guangning with the three-point contract to report to Jiang Chuan.

Although Jiang Chuan granted them the right to act arbitrarily against the enemy abroad, timely reporting afterwards was essential.
