Chapter 135 Yuan Keli

Zhang Zhiji jumped off his horse in a hurry, and ran quickly to a commoner in the front, trying to help him up.

"Old man! What are you doing!?"

The North Korean old man looked about 60 years old, with gray hair, Zhang Zhiji helped him twice but failed to get him up.

"General! The Tatar soldiers came to our city to destroy, loot and burn. We waited day and night to finally welcome the king's army. We thought the day of peace was coming. I didn't expect you to leave. You can't leave! 豼How can we live without them! Woohoo~"

The old man spoke so sincerely that he even cried.

As soon as he cried, the people behind him also cried.Kneeling on the ground crying and not letting Zhang Zhiji go!

"Old man, this general has to leave. His Majesty has ordered me to return to Beijing immediately. After all, this is your North Korea, not our Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing this, the old man burst into tears.

Yes, this is North Korea, not Ming Dynasty.If you are not a family, who will always help you?

Next to the old man was an eight or nine-year-old girl, who should be the old man's granddaughter.Seeing grandpa crying, he wiped his tears with distress.He raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhiji with big innocent eyes.

"Then let North Korea become a part of Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be good?"

As soon as these words came out, the people behind were stunned for a moment, and then immediately echoed loudly!

Zhang Zhiji was also taken aback for a moment, where did the little drama come from?

"Yes! Let North Korea become a part of Ming Dynasty! Anyway, there is no king anymore. Return to Ming Dynasty!"

"Submit to Daming!"

"Submit to Daming!"

The old man can speak Chinese, but the little girl and the people behind her speak Korean.Zhang Zhiji couldn't understand, but he knew the script.Then it was time for the officials of the DPRK and China to appear.

I saw a large group of officials in official uniforms running out of the city gate.

Cui Mingji, the leader, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhiji, shouting loudly:
"General! Just now, the officials have heard it in the city. The people have blocked here spontaneously, just not willing to let you go. Although most of them have never read, they still know who is good to them. Since the Korean royal family has already If it no longer exists, it is better to surrender to the Ming Dynasty as the people say! From now on, the Majesty of the Ming Dynasty will be our Majesty, and North Korea will be a province of the Ming Dynasty! Only the Ming Dynasty can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer be bullied by others. This is The voice of all officials! This is the voice of all people!"

"Yes! Since the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, just like father and son. Now that the son is dead, the grandson lives with his grandfather. This is a matter of course! Anyone who disagrees is a sinner of North Korea! He wants to destroy all people Without regard for their lives.”

"Submit to Daming! Live with grandpa!"

"Submit to Daming!"

Inside and outside the city gate, the emotions of tens of thousands of people were aroused, and they waved their fists excitedly and shouted loudly.The shouts soared into the sky.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhiji also knew that he would definitely not be able to leave, so he sighed and said:

"Then I will stay for a while and ask His Majesty for an order. Let the court formulate a practical plan so that the people of North Korea can live a good life!"

"it is good!"

Ow~~~
For a time, cheers thundered.

Surrounded by officials and common people, Zhang Zhiji returned to the city and stayed again.

Zhu Youjian, who was far away in the capital, quickly learned what happened in Seoul.

He called several cabinet ministers and briefly explained what happened.

"You really didn't find the clan?" Bi Ziyan was surprised.

"Oh, no. Speaking of which, Amin was really ruthless. He killed all of the Li family members in one go."

Zhu Youjian sighed with emotion.

The corner of Fan Jingwen's mouth twitched without leaving a trace.

"Let's talk about it, everyone. Right now, North Korean officials and people are clamoring to submit to Daming and become a province of my Ming. What should we do next?"

"Your Majesty, North Korea is willing to surrender. This is a great joy. Your Majesty's kindness has spread far and wide to North Korea. I congratulate Your Majesty!" Fan Jingwen continued to speak after a series of flattery on the spot.

"It is gratifying that North Korea has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but how to govern it will be a relatively big problem. Fortunately, North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the right people are sent there, they will be able to conquer them soon. Go up and down."

"Does Fan Qing have suitable candidates to recommend?"

Fan Jingwen thought for a while and said without hesitation.

"Yuan Liqing and Yuan Shaobao!"

"Yuan Keli?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Youjian nodded. After he succeeded to the throne, he asked Yuan Keli to return to Beijing to serve, but he refused because of his old age.

Yuan Keli experienced the three dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi. He was an upright official and dared to plead for the people.Later, because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's control of the government, he resigned three times, unwilling to enter the court as an official again.

This is a man worthy of special mention, but the Qing court's "literary prison" destroyed his writings and biographies.Even "History of Ming Dynasty" doesn't have a single word from him.

I don’t know if it’s because of rebelling against Nurhachi’s son-in-law Liu Aita, which hurt the fragile and inferior soul of some people.Only then did he desperately want to erase his traces in history.

There is no problem in sending such a person to govern North Korea.The question is is he willing to come out?

"Yuan Taibao should be in Henan right now? I also sent someone to invite him out of the mountain the year before last, but he refused."

"I am willing to go to Suizhou to invite Duke Yuan out of the mountain!" Fan Jingwen pleaded seriously.

"Fan Qing is the chief assistant of the court. He is busy with official duties, and the court cannot do without you. How about this, you write a book, and I will send Jin Yiwei to send it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Second day

The two Jin Yiwei rode out of Beijing on fast horses, aiming at Suizhou, Guide Prefecture, Henan Province, and invited Yuan Keli to come out of the mountain with Zhu Youjian's imperial edict and Fan Jingwen's letter.

On the North Korean side, Zhu Youjian ordered Zhang Zhiji to lead [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp back to Beijing, leaving Xu Yingyuan to lead [-] soldiers to continue guarding Seoul.Waiting for the arrival of the new Governor.

Zhu Youjian gave great preferential treatment to the soldiers who stayed behind.

Soldiers who are willing to stay will be paid three times their salary.Most of those who remained were Shaanxi soldiers who had not yet married, planning to save more money and return to Beijing to find a wife in the future.

The two Jin Yiwei hurried on their way without stopping, and finally arrived in Juzhou on October [-]th, where they met Yuan Keli.

Since resigning in the sixth year of Tianqi, Yuan Keli has been paying attention to various things happening in this court all the time.

From His Majesty's rectification of the eunuch party, to the personal conquest of Shanxi, and then to the establishment of slaves and entry into the customs in the year of Jisi.

One pile, one piece, made his mood better and better.I feel that His Majesty not only knows people well, but also is proficient in all arts, governance and martial arts.

I just received news yesterday that the soldiers from the Beijing camp who ran thousands of miles to attack North Korea won a complete victory, and beat Amin to the point where he fled to the country of Wa.Happily, he drank a few more glasses during dinner, and still felt a little headache when he woke up in the morning.

After simply eating breakfast, Yuan Keli made a cup of tea and sat quietly in the yard.

There is a persimmon tree in the center of the yard. The leaves have been swept away by the autumnal equinox, leaving only bare branches, which looks a bit depressed.Looking at this persimmon tree not much smaller than himself, Yuan Keli was in a daze for a moment.

The persimmon tree bears fruit every year, contributing its part to the world.

What about yourself?
Is it just like this for the rest of my life?
"Master! Master!" Menzi ran in from outside excitedly.

"There are two people at the door who call themselves Jin Yiwei, saying that they are carrying His Majesty's will. Ask to see the master!"

"Please come in quickly!" Yuan Keli hurriedly stood up with the support of the door, and came to the lobby.I saw two Jinyi guards standing solemnly in the center of the lobby.

Yuan Keli was about to kneel down to accept the order, when one of the Jin Yiwei hurriedly supported him.

"Before coming, His Majesty specifically explained that Yuan Taibao does not need to salute. Here is a letter written by His Majesty and Fan Shoufu of the current dynasty. Yuan Taibao should take a look."

Yuan Keli took the letter written by Zhu Youjian himself, and after reading it, he burst into tears.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to always miss this old man!"

After a long time, he calmed down his emotions, saluted the two who came to pass the decree and said:
"Thank you, you two have worked hard, and the journey has been dusty. Why don't you move to the guest room and take a rest, so that the old man can fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

"No need, the two of us will return to Beijing to return to our mission. I will thank Yuan Taibao first."

Yuan Keli saw that the two were determined, so he stopped pushing.Keep sending them to the door.

"Master, are we going to Beijing?" His wife Song asked after seeing off Jin Yiwei and returning to the back hall.

"Yes! Your Majesty is currently employing people, and I am obliged to do so. Pack up and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning!"

tenth day of november

Yuan Keli arrived in the capital through the cold winter wind.

Zhu Youjian met him immediately.

Yuan Keli was thin and thin, but his eyes were piercing, and his gestures exuded a capable aura.

"Presumably Mr. Yuan has heard about the surrender of North Korea. I plan to make you the governor of North Korea. This trip is far away. I wonder if Mr. Yuan is willing to go?" After the greetings, Zhu Youjian said straight to the point.

"Since I don't dislike my old age, I will go through fire and water for your Majesty."

"I am very relieved to have Yuan Gong's words. I wonder what Yuan Gong's opinion is on governing North Korea?"

"On the way to Beijing, I have been thinking about this matter. In the past two years, North Korea has been repeatedly invaded by slaves, and many people's families have been destroyed and displaced. Li's court has great public grievances. The current collapse of the Li family has given us a legitimate reason to intervene. .I think the most important thing is to appease the hearts of the people. Let the displaced people have houses to live in, and let the people who are hungry have land to plant. And then eradicate some bullies who oppress the people. In this way, the situation in North Korea will definitely be stabilized. But this matter It’s not something that can be done overnight. There is a long way to go.”

"Okay! What Yuan Gong said is exactly what I want, but I still have one thing to do. I need to entrust Yuan Gong to do it."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"
