There was silence in the room for a while, Qiao Zhiqing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and after putting down the tea bowl, he looked directly at Kwon Sang-woo with a stunned expression with a smile on his face."
Lord Quan, you must understand that not every king is a wise monarch.If you want North Korea to suffer less, make this decision as soon as possible.Now I'm happy to keep the king's position.If I feel uncomfortable, you won't even be able to see the king" Qiao Zhiqing's tone was calm, but his face was full of irresistible domineering."
Yes, yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, I understand, Weichen just accepts it" Kwon Sang-woo changed his words again and again, and the two sides were not on an equal platform at all, where did he have room for bargaining.What's more, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, which is something that every minister dreams of.Now that there is such an opportunity, who would be stupid enough to refuse."
Okay, that's it.North Korea has the right to preside, I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant" Qiao Zhiqing's face immediately changed, and he looked harmless to humans and animals, raised his wine glass and drank with Kwon Sang-woo."
Your Majesty the Emperor, now that the Qing court has invaded our country from the Kanto region, it is about to take Pyongyang.Since our North Korea is already a subject country of New China, please send troops as soon as possible to save our North Korea" Kwon Sang-woo drank a full cup of wine, got up and knelt down with Qiao Zhiqing, and hurriedly talked about business.His willingness to defect to one side is precisely to strike at the other, and only in this way can the crisis in North Korea be resolved."
Naturally, Lord Kwon doesn't have to worry.Our navy has completely cut off the logistics channel of the Qing army, and the Qing army is alone in the depths, and there is no food and grass supply, and it is only a matter of time before it fails.From today, Kwon will be able to perform his duties as prime minister, and the first thing you have to do is to ensure the logistical supply of the army.In the future, the DPRK will no longer need to set up a standing army, and the security issue can be left to the Huaxing Army stationed in the DPRK. ”Qiao Zhiqing's expression was indifferent, and he didn't take this Qing army in his eyes at all.Fighting on the march is a very complicated issue, not that the front-line troops can rush to the front, and the logistics supply in the rear is also the top priority.The Qing army was alone for thousands of miles, and the supply of grain and grass had long been untimely, and now it was the end of the crossbow.As long as the Qing army is blocked for a week, the Qing army's grain and grass will run out, and it will naturally be self-defeating."
On behalf of all the Korean people, thank Your Majesty the Emperor" Kwon Sang-woo leaned over and bowed again, and Qiao Zhiqing's conditions were already very ecstatic to him.Now North Korea only provides grain and grass to the Huaxing Army, and does not need to use soldiers and horses as cannon fodder, which is already a great gift."
Alright, there's one more thing you need to prepare as soon as possible.This Gyeongbokgung Palace is so big that it costs a lot of people's fat and ointment just to maintain it.After you go down, you will have people prepare to move the royal family out of Gyeongbokgung Palace and move to the mansion of Daewonjun.Gyeongbokgung Palace was restored to state ownership and opened to the common people, no longer exclusive to the royal family.Your Prime Minister's Cabinet and various departments should also build new office space as soon as possible.There will be no overlap between the government and the king, and the king will not be allowed to interfere in all executive power. ”Qiao Zhiqing gave another earth-shattering order, and even Min Ziying beside him was stunned before he translated it to Kwon Sang-woo to know."
This, okay, His Majesty the Emperor will put it down, and Weichen will implement it as soon as possible" Kwon Sang-woo hesitated, and his heart was about to jump out of his heart that was shocked by Qiao Zhiqing's proposal.Qiao Zhiqing's intention is very obvious, that is, to try his best to weaken the power of the royal family.Gyeongbokgung Palace is a symbol of the centralization of the royal family, and if it is shared by the common people, the royal family will no longer have any majesty."
That's all for today, when North Korea stabilizes, you send people to New China as soon as possible to learn how to govern the country.I hope you take a long-term view and don't be bound by the petty profits in front of you.You must understand that the DPRK's submission to New China will absolutely benefit and harmless.You have been closed off from the country for so many years, and it is time to open the door and embrace the outside world" Qiao Zhiqing patiently admonished, relieving Quan Xiangyu, not wanting him to have such a big psychological burden.In fact, it is to tell him unmistakably that if you follow me, you will definitely have meat to eat, and you won't be hungry."
Wechen understands that Wechen must follow the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor, and Wechen will step down."
Kwon Sang-woo had mixed feelings, kowtowed to Qiao Zhiqing, and immediately convened his cronies after exiting the house.Qiao Zhiqing drove the royal family out of the palace for another reason, that is, it was convenient to move all the gold and silver treasures in the palace back.After all, the Li dynasty has been in business for hundreds of years, and there are a lot of treasures in the palace.Qiao Zhiqing is not here to do charity, of course all the good things have to be taken away.Kwon Sang-woo was also very efficient, and he set up the prime minister's cabinet in three days.Because of Qiao Zhiqing's care for Min Zirou, after the little king returned to the palace, Min Zirou was canonized as "Princess Wang".Kwon Sang-woo did what he liked and began to reuse the Min family.Min Zirou's elder brothers, Min Seung-ho and Min Kyu-ho, were also promoted to the Prime Minister's Cabinet and held the posts of the Secretary of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites.At this time, Concubine Zhao and Dayuanjun's henchmen have basically been purged, and Kwon Sang-woo can only appoint new forces, and even the Jin family, who was standing aside at the beginning, has been pulled back.Kim Eun-hee, who had just withdrawn to Seoul from the front line in Pyongyang, was also promoted to the head of the household because of his relationship with Kwon Sang-woo.For the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, Kwon Sang-woo directly gave it to Choi Sung-ho, who severely defeated the Qing army in the Qingchuan River.First, he is not a member of Dayuanjun and Concubine Zhao, and secondly, this young man is loyal and commendable, and he is a talent who can be trained.In particular, North Korea now has no available soldiers and horses, and it will also be garrisoned by the Huaxing Army in the future, and it is estimated that this military department secretary has become a fictitious position.After a little renovation of Daewonjun's mansion, the royal family began to move out of Gyeongbokgung Palace.The little king saved his life, let alone let him move, even if he let him live in a thatched house, he was willing to do so.Min Zirou didn't have any opinions, after all, Qiao Zhiqing had already saved his son, and she didn't dare to ask too much, so as not to anger Qiao Zhiqing.Although Dayuanjun's mansion is not as luxurious as Gyeongbokgung Palace, it is the place where she has lived for many years, and she is happy to live here.More than half of the maids and servants in the palace have also been removed, and the mansion of the king of the courtyard is a little bigger, where can it accommodate so many people.The concubines who had served the old king, young and old, were driven out of the palace.Either fend for yourself or go back to your hometown.Qiao Zhiqing was right, he did save Kwon Sang-woo a lot of expenses.According to the current financial situation of North Korea, the harem is enough for him to have a headache.Now, the little king has moved to the palace of the king, and there are more than 200 people in the palace, plus the guards, which is a drop in the bucket for finance.Min Zirou knew that the date of Qiao Zhiqing's departure was approaching, and she stuck with Qiao Zhiqing almost every day.During the day, he poured tea for him, and spent Wushan with him at night, just like a housewife.For the fat delivered to the door, Qiao Zhiqing of course did not refuse to come.Every time, Min Zirou was tossed back to death, and when he cried and begged for mercy, he withdrew his troops.Min Ziying, as Qiao Zhiqing's fiancée, also serves Qiao Zhiqing every day.At the beginning, when Qiao Zhiqing and Min Zirou were entangled, she still blushed and went outside to avoid it.Later, the little girl couldn't help but be curious, and peeked more in the crack of the door, and gradually got used to it.At night, when the two of them are confused, they sneak directly into the room and kneel aside to admire.Qiao Zhiqing didn't have anything to do with this ghost girl, if she hadn't been an adult, she would have been dragged along with her sister a long time ago.These two sisters look alike, and they are both stunning in the world.The only difference is that Min Zirou has the plumpness of a young woman, while Min Ziying's body looks thinner.If you can have two women serve at the same time in one night, it will be a great joy in life.The North Korean people also know about Qiao Zhiqing and the relationship with their princess, but they all turn a blind eye, and no one dares to say anything.At the entrance of the vegetable market in Seoul, every day, the henchmen of Dayuanjun and Concubine Zhao were beheaded to show the public, who had the courage to touch the head at this time.Regardless of whether Min Zi was reluctant or not, the day of Qiao Zhiqing's departure finally came.Early in the morning, the ships carrying supplies to the Huaxing Army docked at the port of Incheon.Qiao Zhiqing will also leave for Japan to visit his godsister who just gave birth to a child.The overall situation of North Korea has been decided, and there is no need for Qiao Zhiqing to worry about it anymore.Although the Qing army took Pyongyang, they did not dare to move forward.They had received news that Seoul had fallen into the hands of the Hwaxing Army.Moreover, the grain route of the Qing army has been cut off, and their army of more than 100,000 people is supplied by the granaries in the city and the grain snatched from the Korean people.Choe Sung-ho, who insisted on resisting in Pyongyang, carried out the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, burning houses, burying grain, and evacuating all the people of Pyongyang to the south.Anyway, I don't leave a single person for the Qing army, and I have to eat in one bite.The Qing army did not dare to march further into the depths, so they had to stay in Pyongyang and wait for the supply of grain and grass in the rear.At this time, the Hwaheung Army began the Northern Expedition, and with the assistance of the North Korean government and civilians, the progress along the way was very rapid, and it took only two days to approach the gateway to Pyongyang, the Sariwon Palace.This prefecture, which is only more than 100 miles away from Pyongyang, is stationing a division of Qing troops at this time.Although the weapons in the hands of the Qing army were replaced, the tactical thinking still retained in the previous stage of siege and defense, and they did not have any understanding of positional warfare, trench warfare, and highland siege.Therefore, when the 100,000 troops of the Huaxing army approached the city, the Qing army still tried in vain to rely on the city wall to refuse, wait for the support of the Pyongyang army, and then flank the Huaxing army inside and outside.The siege tactics of the Huaxing Army have long been not facing the dense onslaught of guns, and this time there are also two squadrons of airship troops along with the supply ships.After the infantry entered the positions of the Shariin, the airship units also arrived on the battlefield and began a devastating bombardment of the four walls.Where had the Qing troops stationed in Shali Courtyard seen such a thing, and they all shouted and shouted at the sky in horror.The commander of the Qing army immediately gave an order, and rows of foreign guns fired at the sky.At one moment, the guns were like thunder and bullets rained down, and they all pressed against the airship squadron
