    Negotiation is actually not difficult. As long as he grasps the established goals, Gu Weijun can completely optimize the results.  But before achieving the goal, there are still a series of things to be done. The first thing is the status of central control of North Korea.

    Since the five armies maintained order in the rear of North Korea, the North Korean military government quickly took control of administrative matters, making Seoul relatively safer.  Zhang Hanqing came here personally because he holds the title of director of the "Special Committee on Korean Affairs". He can not only supervise the military and intervene in the affairs of the Korean People's Army, but also supervise the people and provide administrative management for the three northeastern provinces and northern North Korea.  decision.

    Although Kim Sam-soon nominally serves as the chairman of the North Korean military government, he cannot make the final decision on major issues, especially regarding the formation of the North Korean Parliament and the High Court.  The separation of powers has gradually gained popularity in China, and it has also had an impact on North Korea, especially those North Korean middle- and high-level intellectuals and a group of exiles living in China. They very much hope to establish an independent country with the help of China.  .

    Zhang Hanqing is here to correct this behavior.

    It goes without saying that the strategic position of the Korean Peninsula is important. The famous British geologist Mackinder once said: "Whoever rules Northeast Asia controls the Western Pacific and controls the destiny of Asia."

    Countless facts have verified the correctness of this statement. Throughout history, Japan has repeatedly invaded China, always using North Korea as a springboard; and the disturbances on the Korean Peninsula in official history will arouse the sensitive nerves of China, the United States, Japan and Russia.

    Zhang Hanqing is not a Wedolph, and he does not have many restrictions.  In his view, it can bring benefits to the long-term peace and stability of the country and create a good external environment for China's national strategy. He will definitely do his best to do such things.

    ??This victory that the Chinese people bought at a huge price cannot be easily withdrawn without a name as in the official history, and then all the credit is completely rejected by some ungrateful sticks, making the situation on the peninsula very passive.

    I knew it now, why bother?

    China is the suzerain state of North Korea in history and has great favors to North Korea. It is universally recognized that North Korea belongs to the Chinese cultural circle.  Looking at the entire history of the Korean nation, almost every nation adjacent to them has ruthlessly conquered them, trampled on their land, and ravaged their people.  And there has never been a time when North Korea completely relied on its own strength to defeat the invaders, and there is no record of conquering others.

    ??The North Korean governments of all dynasties have been standard wallflowers, relying on whoever is powerful, which is the so-called "big deal" policy (in fact, one of the biggest characteristics of North Koreans is that they have no faith at all).  Looking back at the signing of the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty in 1910, the Koreans Anshun became subjects of the emperor, changed their Japanese names, and followed the Japanese army in the north and south.

    North Korea and Japan face each other across the sea, so every time Japan has the energy, it will teach its little neighbor the principle of "the weak and the strong".  As for North Korea's performance in foreign wars, there may be a few small victories tactically, but strategically it has never won a battle until other countries intervened.

    For example, the "Battle of Wanli Korea" in Chinese history is also the so-called "Imjin Patriotic War" in Korea, Japan's "Battle of Bunlu" and "Battle of Keichang", etc.  Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the army to unify Japan and conquered Korea. However, in March, all eight roads in Korea were lost.  If it were not for China¡¯s selfless assistance, Korea would have become a Japanese colony before 1910.

    ??Looking back further, the majority of North Korean people are Chinese.  Starting from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, due to disasters, wars and other reasons, a large number of Chinese immigrants moved into the Korean Peninsula and formed the earliest tribal alliance in the Korean Peninsula.

    The "General History of the World", editor-in-chief of the Academy of Social Sciences of the former Soviet Union, described in the relevant part as "the earliest tribal alliance in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, formed by Chinese immigrants in the Changbai Valley In the process of the formation of the Korean state, immigrants from China have always played an important role.  function, but the process is Koreanized.¡±

    This view is also generally held by world historians.

    The word "Korea" first appears in Chinese classical historical records, which is the place where King Wu of Zhou Dynasty granted Jizi to North Korea in the "Shangshu Da Zhuan".  Sima Qian's "Historical Records" also records that Jizi, the brother of Zhou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, brought the etiquette and systems of the Shang Dynasty to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula after King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou.  It was recognized by North Korea and was known as "Jizi North Korea" in history.

    According to the Korean history book "The Legacy of the Three Kingdoms", after Jizi came to North Korea, Tangun's descendants took the people to move south to avoid conflict with the people Jizi brought. These people later became the Three Kingdoms.  The ancestor of Han, Jizi Joseon, ruled the Korean Peninsula for nearly a thousand years.

    According to the "Genealogy of the Xianyu Family in Taiyuan", the Xianyu family in North Korea originated from the descendants of Jizi North Korea, and starting from Jizi, they experienced a total of 41 generations of monarchs until they were exterminated in the 1st century BC.  All of the above are related to various WesternNational history books coincide with each other.  It can be seen that the Chinese are one of the ancestors of the Koreans.

    The Korean people during the Japanese occupation responded to the entry of Chinese soldiers with a familiarity: how much history has told them that the fate of the great country of China is closely related to North Korea.

    Since the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese army has entered the Korean Peninsula on a large scale four times: the first time was when the Tang Dynasty helped Silla unify.  At that time, the Korean Peninsula was divided into three kingdoms: Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. Baekje and Goguryeo, which had good relations with Japan, constantly attacked Silla and blocked Silla's tribute route.

    Silla asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for rescue, and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty sent generals such as Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang to the expedition.  This is the famous "Xue Rengui's March to the East" in folklore.

    The allied forces of Tang and Luo defeated the Japanese pirates, destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, and completed the unification of the Korean peninsula. Silla culture reached its glorious peak, and produced outstanding Korean writers such as Cui Zhiyuan.

    The second time was in the middle of Joseon. In order to realize the national dream of "attacking the Ming Dynasty directly, moving the capital to Beijing, and expedition to Tianzhu", Japan's "Guanbai" Toyotomi Hideyoshi first annexed Korea, which is known as the Imjin War in history.

    Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to court, the King of Korea said in a letter to him: "China and Korea will treat me as if I have submitted internally. I must be the first to report to you and help each other in times of trouble. If a family is close to father and sonhow can we abandon our father and surrender to a neighbor?"  North Korea, which has not been in war for two hundred years, is known as "Little China". It is peaceful with singing and dancing, civilized and martial arts. In two months, three capitals fell in succession.

    The king of North Korea fled to the border between China and North Korea, preparing to cross the river and "die in the country of the emperor."  When the Ming Dynasty government heard that North Korea was asking for help, it immediately realized: "Guan Bai's plan for North Korea actually means China", "and our soldiers' rescue of North Korea is actually to protect China."  This sentence actually means: "Resist Japan and aid Korea, protect the homeland and the country."

    Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to advance by land and water to annihilate the Japanese pirates. "Rebels" from all walks of life in Korea also rose up to resist. The war lasted for seven years.  North Korean veteran Yi Sunchen and Ming Dynasty general Deng Zilong both died in fierce battles.

    In the end, the Japanese pirates were defeated and fled, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, North Korea reorganized its country, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as its reborn parent. From then on, Confucian culture was revered to an unparalleled level on the Korean Peninsula.  King Seonjo of Joseon said: "Chinese parents, our country and Japan are both foreign countries, just like sons. To say that parents treat their sons, they are filial sons in our country and thief sons in Japan." (Volume 37 of "The Record of Seonjo")

    The victory of the Chinese army once again safeguarded the peace of the people of the Korean Peninsula and promoted the development of Korean Peninsula culture.  It can be seen that the king of Korea regards China as his father and monarch.  The reason why there was no emperor in Korean history, but only kings, was because China had emperors.

    Even the name of Korea was canonized by the Chinese government: In 1392, Li Chenggui overthrew the Wang clan of Korea and proclaimed himself king. In the memorial to Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the name of "the right to know the state affairs of Korea", he drafted two  Please choose the country name on your behalf.  The two country names are "He Ning" and "North Korea".

    Among them, Hening is the place where Li Chenggui¡¯s father, Li Zichun, served as an official in the Goryeo Dynasty. North Korea is an ancient name, which means "the brightest days of North Korea".  Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "the only name for Dongyi is 'North Korea', and since it came from such a long distance, it can be attributed to its original name." The Li regime then adopted "North Korea" as its national name.

    Since then, the word "North Korea" has become the name of the country, nation and language.

    The third time was the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, as everyone knows.  The corrupt Qing army defeated Asan first, Seoul second, Pyongyang third, and finally the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated.  Not to mention defending North Korea, China itself cannot even protect it. It will pay indemnities and cede territory, losing power and humiliating the country.  At that time, it was equivalent to ceding North Korea and Taiwan to Japan.  China's failure resulted in the Korean people being subjugated slaves for 50 years.

    This is the fourth time - there have been four times in history, but the opponent is the United States rather than Japan in this time and space.

    After more than a year of war, the People's Army has actually controlled all political, military and economic lifelines in northern North Korea.  Politically speaking, North Korea can be said to have been an independent country since ancient times, but its national destiny has always been closely related to the rise and fall of China.

    At the end of World War II, the Western powers attempted to obstruct Korean independence and asked the United Nations to "mandate" Korea. It was Mr. Chiang Kai-shek and Mr. Mao Zedong who unanimously advocated Korean independence and demanded freedom for the Korean people. This ended half a century of colonization on the Korean peninsula.  history.

    The reason why successive Chinese emperors only regarded Korea as a vassal state and not as part of the direct administrative jurisdiction was that compared with the prosperous Central Plains, the barren Korean Peninsula was not attractive in terms of the natural resources or climate that could be utilized at that time.  In addition, the Korean government always behaves very submissively, and no conqueror would be stupid enough to start a war with its own docile people.

    But in modern times, given North Korea¡¯s status as a bridgehead in Northeast Asia and its role as a de facto springboard for Japan¡¯s invasion of China, revisiting the topic of Mr. Zhang Jian¡¯s plan to save North Korea seems particularly in line with Zhang Hanqing¡¯s needs for China¡¯s future geostrategic considerations.

    ¡°However, this action must be concealed, otherwise it will make the armistice negotiations with Japan difficult, which is also not in line with the current national conditions and interests.  Because for Japan, being defeated by China is already a great shame and humiliation. If the northern part of Japan-controlled Korea is forcibly classified as a province by China, it will definitely stimulate the sensitive and fragile nerves of the militarists, and it will also make the Japanese government unable to move.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?The needs of China¡¯s geostrategic considerations in the future.
