    ,

    On the day the Datong Army occupied Hanyang, the city and the city became stable.

    Due to the severe punishment of looters, the social security in Hanyang City has even improved unprecedentedly, and even petty theft has temporarily disappeared.

    "Party Ambassador, what should I do?" Jin Junyan asked.

    Dang Chongjun was also a little confused: "Wait for North Korea's monarchs and ministers, and send someone with weight to negotiate."

    The emperor's order that the two received was very simple, that is, to bite off a piece of land from North Korea, and the specific operation was up to them to decide.

    So the two made a plan to have the army bombard the city walls.  Rejecting the first three rounds of negotiations from North Korea, under the continuous shelling, you can receive the fourth round of envoys, from the lion's mouth to the landing to pay back the money, and finally extort a large piece of land.

    Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan never imagined in their dreams that the monarchs and ministers of North Korea abandoned the city and fled!

    "Ambassador, there are North Korean businessmen asking to see you."

    "Bring him in."

    A North Korean businessman in his 40s knelt down in front of Dang Chongjun: "The grassroots of the country, Hong Daoquan, kowtow to Lord Angel!"

    Dang Chongjun said: "Get up."

    "Master Xie," Hong Daoquan stood still stooping after getting up, "The king of our country patrolled the city and sent the little people to apologize to the angel."

    Dang Chongjun became more and more speechless: "Why don't you send a minister to beg for mercy, but actually send a merchant over?"

    Hong Daoquan said: "The king sends ministers, and ministers send businessmen."

    "What does the lord of North Korea want to say?" Dang Chongjun asked.

    Hong Daoquan replied: "I don't know."

    Dang Chongjun almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. It's such a ghost situation. The king of North Korea still doesn't know what to say?

    Hong Daoquan explained: "The king and the ministers are arguing endlessly in Kaesong, and no one can come up with a charter to serve the public. The grassroots were sent here to find out what the angels said. The angels can ask for half of the land even if they ask for a price. The grassroots will be honest.  Go back and return to life."

    Dang Chongjun became more and more confused: "Which country are you a businessman, why don't you speak for North Korea?"

    Hong Daoquan replied: "Return to the angel, Caomin is Songshang."

    Next to him, a spy who had been in North Korea for a long time, walked up to Dang Chongjun and muttered: "Dang Ambassador, among the merchants in North Korea, Beijing merchants, Song merchants, and Wan merchants are the most powerful. Beijing merchants monopolize Hanyang trade, and most of them are concubines separated by nobles.  The family. Wanshang is Baozhou merchants, who trade on both sides of the Yalu River. Songshang is Kaesong merchants, spread all over North Korea, but suffered heavy suppression."

    Dang Chongjun understood, and asked with a smile, "Your heart is for China?"

    Hong Daoquan answered unabashedly: "As long as Song Shang, he always thinks about enclosing the Celestial Dynasty!"

    Kaesong was called Songyak in ancient times, and it became the capital during the Goryeo period, so it was renamed Kaijing.  The merchants in Kaesong were very prominent at that time. After the establishment of the Lee Dynasty, not only the capital was moved to Hanyang, but the imperial examinations for Kaesong scholars were banned.

    As a result, more and more people in Kaesong started business because the road to imperial examinations was cut off.  The scale of Songshang continued to grow, and "Songfang" was opened across the country, forming a business network throughout North Korea.

    The trade between China and North Korea in Datong became more and more prosperous, and North Korean monarchs and ministers once again suppressed Songshang.  The port of Kaesong was directly closed, and the goods purchased by Songshang had to be sold to Jingshang in Hanyang, and Jingshang directly traded with Chinese merchants.

    This is equivalent to Song merchants all over the country. They can only be inland suppliers, and they can't make much money after working hard.  Even to receive goods in the country, two groups of nobles have to issue licenses, and each business license must be exchanged for bribes.

    Very rich, not much land, unable to take the imperial examination, business network spread all over the country, and suffered from imperial suppression everywhere What do these Song merchants think?

    Of course I want to attach China, divide the land at will, kill all the monarchs and ministers of North Korea, and do business unimpeded in the future!

    Moreover, the children of Chinese businessmen can also take part in the imperial examination, and maybe their descendants can also be officials.

    Hong Daoquan said: "The kings and ministers of North Korea are in Kaesong at this time. There are only 1,500 firecrackers following them, and there are 500 Kaesong defenders. If the Chinese army attacks the city, the Kaesong merchants are willing to set fire to cooperate, and they will definitely be able to win in one battle!"  "

    "You step down now." Dang Chongjun said.

    After the North Korean businessman left, Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan looked at each other.

    The behavior of the North Korean monarchs and ministers was unexpected in every way, and the merchants in Kaesong clearly wanted to lead the way, which made them completely unimaginable.

    Dang Chongjun said: "General Kim, I know what you are thinking. I also want to make contributions, but the imperial court only allowed part of the territory in the north of North Korea to be cut off, and it is impossible to swallow it all after the country is destroyed. The imperial court recovered Guangnan Province and sent troops  Although it went well, the suppression thereafternbsp;As a result, the tax was transferred to Pyongan Road, Hwanghae Road and Hamgyong Road in the north.  Those places are already poor, so they have to double their taxes, and military service is also the most common of these three.

    In the past few decades, the peasant uprising in Hamgyong Province first persisted for three months and was suppressed.  During this period, a big landlord named Li Shi'ai joined the uprising team, claiming to be a descendant of the royal family, and wanted to change the dynasty.

    Then came the peasant uprising in Hwanghae-do, led by Lin Juzheng.  This time it was even more troublesome, defeating the imperial army many times and persisting for a full year and two months.  During the period, the King of Korea was also forced to exempt Hwanghae Road and Pingan Road for one year to prevent more farmers from joining the uprising.

    However, it is said that after the North Korean monarchs and ministers fled to Xinxi, the peasants of Ping'an Road broke out.

    Ping'an Road in North Korea can be understood as Shaanxi and Shanxi in China.  Famines have continued these years, but taxes have been getting higher and higher. There is a Baozhou where the farmers live and work in peace and contentment. The farmers in Ping'an Road are envied to death.  If things go on like this, can we not rebel?

    ? At first, only a thousand peasants revolted. In just a few days, the uprising force grew to tens of thousands.  Killing the gentry and landlords, capturing the prefectures and counties, frightened the Korean border troops, and they all ran to Baozhou to ask for the protection of the Datong Army.

    Immediately afterwards, the peasants of Hwanghae Province also rebelled, and the two peasant armies attacked from the north to the south, and even defeated the city of Pyongyang.

    Then Bingfeng headed southeast, heading towards Xinxi where the King of Korea was.

    The Peasant Army has a distinct uprising slogan: "Be a citizen of the heaven, cultivate the land of the heaven, and live a good life in the heaven!"

    ?The Korean monarchs and ministers were terrified. While retreating towards Jinhua, they ordered the whole country to serve the king, and at the same time sent ministers to contact the Datong army.
