Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 743 Conditions

"Sincerity? Yes, yes. Read." The King of Goryeo was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The head of Li Wancheng, the right councilor of Goryeo, is outside the palace. He has always been close to Beidi, and Xiao Wang is his seducer. Your Majesty, I have repeatedly committed the crime of disrespect. I hope Your Highness will see clearly!"

Yin Boming added, "It is Li Wancheng who advocated going to Beidi to seek help this time. This Li Wancheng is actually Beidi's lackey."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu had a sneer on his lips.

He doesn't care about the life or death of this Goryeo right-winger.

In these years, Goryeo betrayed Dasong and was willing to act as a hawk for Beidi. They even participated in the battle of Ningjin Dusi and massacred the people of Dasong.

He also built warships for Beidi and went south to attack Yanzhou.

He kept notes on these accounts.

This time, he invaded Goryeo through the Eastern-Turk Alliance and prepared to bring Goryeo into his sphere of influence for Da Song's interests, not out of benevolence.

If it were not for the purpose of supporting a puppet court in Goryeo after the war, he would not have met the King of Goryeo at all.

Nor would he care about Goryeo, the leftist political advisor.

Furthermore, they are not their only choice.

If it weren't for the trouble, he would have been able to depose the King of Goryeo after expelling the Dongtu Alliance and support a Goryeo crown prince to inherit the throne.

Therefore, if the two cannot meet his interests and needs.

Then go back wherever they come from!

Let Chai Wu capture a Goryeo prince to sing his praises. After Goryeo is destroyed, it will not be too late for him to take action.

Thinking of this, he said to the King of Korea and Yin Boming: "You know this is not what I want. If you don't have the slightest sincerity, please come back. When the Dongtu Alliance reaches Dongjiang, it will not be too late for me to take action."

This Dongjiang River is exactly what the Yalu River is called here.

The King of Korea trembled in his heart, his legs suddenly became weak, his mouth trembled, and he was speechless for a moment.

When Yin Boming saw this, he was secretly happy.

He was happy to see King Goryeo make a fool of himself in front of King Yan.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to show King Yan that he was qualified to be Da Song's pawn in Goryeo.

In this way, when I return to Goryeo in the future, with the support of Da Song, even the King of Goryeo will have to look at his own face, just like Li Wancheng with the support of Beidi.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our Goryeo owes Dasong too much. We should sign a contract immediately. From then on, we should pay tribute every year and become a vassal state of Dasong again. We should also return all the occupied territory of Dasong to Dasong. "

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. The area occupied by Goryeo was the contemporary Liaodong Peninsula, where Liaoning is located.

Anseong is Lushun, and Anseong Port is Lushun Port.

However, this is the Dasung that should be returned to Goryeo.

Even if they don't pay it back, they will fight it off themselves.

After all, this is tantamount to robbing him and giving it back cannot be regarded as transferring benefits.

So he continued to remain silent, waiting for Yin Boming's next words.

"This..." After Yin Boming finished speaking, he felt worried when he saw that there was no trace of joy on King Yan's face.

Obviously, the conditions he proposed were not enough to tempt King Yan.

After thinking about it, an idea flashed in his mind, and he continued: "When the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces retreat, I, Goryeo, are willing to trade with Dasong without charging a penny of commercial tax."

King Yan did not hesitate to send a fleet to force Goryeo to trade with each other. He must have attached great importance to trade, so he decided to give it a try.

Zhao Xu shook his head, still dissatisfied, maybe because of the limitations of this era.

The kings and ministers of Goryeo simply could not think of some of the unequal conditions that became popular in modern times.

After pondering for a while, he said: "I will not hang on to you anymore. In addition to the conditions you just mentioned, I require you to abolish the Korean script and make the Korean people learn my Dasong script and language again."

Because they took refuge in Beidi, Goryeo mixed the characters of Dasong with those of Beidi, and created some of its own characters, forming the current Goryeo characters.

This is to become independent from the Dasong cultural circle and completely separate from Dasong.

According to contemporary experience, once these small countries around Dasong do this, they will inevitably use opposition to Dasong as the basis for their country's founding in the future.

This phenomenon already exists in Korea now.

Moreover, because there are too many traditions copied from Dasong in their culture, they will inevitably try their best to deny the Central Plains culture and steal the origins of these cultures for their own use.

Therefore, he wanted to nip this tendency in the bud.

The identification of a civilization does not matter how vast its territory is, but rather its cultural identity.

Rather than becoming a vassal state in a territorial sense, he preferred Goryeo to regard Dasong as a cultural suzerain state.

In this way, the Korean people will think that Korea is just a part of the civilization of the Central Plains.

I yearn for the culture of the Central Plains from the bottom of my heart. Although I was born in Goryeo, I think in my heart that I am a great person.

Both King Goryeo and Yin Boming were startled. They did not expect King Yan to propose this condition.

But for them, this is easy to achieve.

Since it is a vassal state of Dasong, it is reasonable to learn the writing and language of Dasong.

Just as Yin Boming was about to speak, the King of Korea said, "Xiao Wang agrees to this."

He had come to his senses and couldn't let Yin Boming steal his limelight.

Zhao Xu showed a faint smile and said: "This is just one of them. In the battle of Ningjin Dusi, your Goryeo army burned, killed and looted. After that, you repeatedly attacked Dasong fishermen and built warships to help Beidi attack Yanzhou. In this way After all, you must compensate me for the loss of Dasong, fifty million taels of silver."

"Fifty million taels!" The King of Korea felt as if his heart was being pinched, and he was so nervous that he panicked.

Goryeo's annual tax surplus was only over two million taels, and it would take twenty years to pay it off.

"Why, shouldn't you, Goryeo, pay compensation? What's more, you have occupied my Dasong territory for so many years. For more than a hundred years, all the taxes paid by the people in these territories have fallen into the pockets of your Goryeo."

"You deserve to be compensated, you really deserve to be compensated." Yin Boming seized the opportunity to say, and then he said to the King of Goryeo, "Your Majesty, if you don't agree, someone will agree for you. You have to think about it."

The King of Korea suddenly woke up. Now was not the time for him to be picky. He had no choice.

Now it's King Yan who gives him the chance. If he doesn't agree, King Yan will be replaced by the King of Goryeo.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang agrees, Xiao Wang agrees to everything."

After driving away the Eastern and Turkish Allied Forces, he was still the King of Goryeo.

Otherwise, he is nothing.

Rather than suffer it yourself, it is better to let the people of Goryeo suffer a little.

"Hahaha..." At this time, Zhao Xu laughed.

In fact, he was also testing the King of Korea.

If the King of Goryeo would rather die than surrender and refuse to agree to these humiliating conditions, he would not be able to keep him.

Since you are raising a concubine, why not raise a flattering and obedient one who gets everything she wants.

"In this case, after signing this contract, I will send troops to Goryeo in the near future to expel the Eastern and Turkish Allied Forces." Zhao Xu handed a well-prepared contract to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng took it and sent it to the King of Korea.

The ministers and officials at the foot of the steps were stunned.

They originally thought that the King of Korea's visit this time was just a song of surrender.

Unexpectedly, King Yan would scratch Gao Li so hard.

However, what a joy!

Whether it was Yang Feng and other old ministers, or Liu Fu, Chang Wei and others, they all looked happy throughout the whole process.

When the King of Korea signed the contract, they all smiled.

On the Dragon Throne.

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded.

Immediately, his eyes paused on Zhao Xu's profile.

Fleeing to Yanzhou was probably the only right choice he made in his life.

Otherwise, how could he have seen the day when the King of Korea bowed down so humbly.

At this moment, he really felt the glory that the late emperors felt when Dasong was strong.
