After successively foiling the plans of the United States and France to colonize Korea, Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, is now arrogant, how can he agree with his idea of wanting to trade, Young Master Meng feels that using the signboard of the Hawaiian Kingdom does not seem to work, and he should find another way.Through the collection of intelligence, Master Meng basically understands the information of some major events in North Korea, however, it is far from enough to understand the information, diplomacy is not child's play, and it is also necessary to contact the specific person in power Master Meng is full of worries about this trip, this is his first contact with the government of a country, which is different from Tianjin helping Li Hongzhang to engage in foreign diplomacy, and it is not the same, he went to the Qing Dynasty to diplomatize, basically to the Qing Dynasty Xu Tu something, and Young Master Meng this time, It's the desire to get some benefit from another government, which are two completely different concepts.Qiu Yun, Princess Katrina Kafu and a group of attachés, arrived at the official post from Young Master Meng.Prince Richard Harris was embarrassed when he saw Young Master Meng, "Mr.
Yuemeng, my diplomacy has failed." ”Young Master Meng snorted, "Who are you seeing" Prince Richard Harris said: "I have met the King of Korea and the King of the Xingxuan Courtyard, Li Yuying, they met me during the court meeting, and the King of the Xingxuan Courtyard, Li Yuying, did not wait for me to finish speaking, and refused the request for trade and the establishment of diplomatic relations.They almost didn't away. ”Young Master Meng nodded, and pondered, "It's okay, I will ask to see you tomorrow, this time, I will first ask to see the king of Joseon in private and then go to see Li Yuying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard, we will see you one by one, I will see who is easier to find flaws, although the king of Joseon has no real power, but if he can get the support of the king of Joseon, this matter should have a turnaround."
Forget it, you don't have to go, I'll see you alone.Perhaps, it would be better for me to go alone. ”Prince Richard Harris said curiously: "You go alone, in what capacity do you go to see" Young Master Meng thought for a while, "I asked to see in my private capacity as the son of the governor of Liaoning in the Great Qing Kingdom, and I brought my grandfather's official document."
There is a large seal. ”Prince Richard Harris puzzled: "I am a prince, they don't want to, what is the use of your private identity" Princess Katrina Kafu also said: "Yes, it's definitely useless, I guess, they won't even see you, you are just a child of the district governor's family, is it more noble than my brother's identity as a prince" Young Master Meng was slightly unhappy, mainly because Princess Katrina Kafu didn't respect him enough, however, he didn't point it out, "Okay, you have to try, Let's see how it goes tomorrow. ”Qiu Yun was slightly unhappy when she saw Young Master Meng, and guessed that it must be Princess Katrina Kafu who provoked Young Master Meng again, in fact, Qiu Yun was not very suitable for the way Princess Katrina Kafu spoke, it was too straightforward, fortunately, Princess Katrina Kafu only knew a few words in Chinese, otherwise, I guess I would have to be angry.Qiu Yun did not express the meaning of making Princess Katrina Kafu respect Young Master Meng even more.Sure enough, as Young Master Meng expected, the next day, after checking Young Master Meng's official documents, the Joseon Palace agreed to Young Master Meng's request and allowed him to enter the palace for an audience.Young Master Meng is not worried that the contact with the upper echelons of North Korea will reach the ears of the Qing court, the news of this era is blocked, as long as it is not a big thing, just like there are so many major events in North Korea in recent years, Young Master Meng has not heard of it at all in the Qing Kingdom, if it weren't for listening to a few translators gossiping about him these days, he is gradually sorting out the words of the translators, and he really doesn't know much about the situation in North Korea.Young Master Meng arrived at the Joseon Palace in a sedan chair at the official post, and he could only be seen alone, and the Joseon Palace had a special Chinese interpreter.They have special interpreters, and North Korea still attaches great importance to the Great Qing Kingdom, but the Great Qing Kingdom does not attach importance to North Korea.It can't be said that the Qing Dynasty doesn't attach importance to North Korea, it should be said that the Qing court is self-contained, closed off the country, so that no one pays attention to it, if it weren't for the great powers knocking on the door of the country, it is estimated that the young master is almost the same as North Korea on the way to Pyongyang, and he saw that North Korea is all thatched houses, and he is already poor and has nothing to say, all the way to Pyongyang are hungry people, where there is a capital here, it is a one-story low house, and I don't know if the North Koreans are really poor in construction technology to the point of having nothing to say, or they like to live in such a house.When I arrived at the palace, Young Master Meng's question was still unanswered, because the palace was all a low house with a single floor, and the walls were low, I couldn't say, where was this like a palace, and the guards guarding the door felt funny when they saw that Young Master Meng was just a two-year-old child.Young Master Meng is too lazy to speak, he is used to it, there are many people who know him in Tianjin, and everyone no longer treats Young Master Meng as a child, but as long as people who don't know Young Master Meng, they still feel that every move of Young Master Meng is very strange.The son of the Liaoning governor's family, this identity is indeed very good in North Korea, and Young Master Meng was received by the king and queen of Joseon.The king of Joseon, Yi Hee, was a thin young man, like a smoker, and he was very unhealthy.Young Master Meng was shocked by the tall Queen Min, she was very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her demeanor was very calm, compared to the Korean King Li Xi, who was born in the royal family, Queen Min was born as a commoner, but she was more aristocratic.Young Master Meng bowed slightly and coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, Queen, hello, it's an honor to meet you." ”As soon as Young Master Meng spoke, King Li Xi of North Korea yawned, and Queen Min found it interesting and listened to Young Master Meng with relish.In fact, the vast majority of the royal family of North Korea can understand Chinese, and even directly use Chinese to communicate with the Qing people, in Korea, the Chinese language, the Qing country, have a supreme and lofty status, although the Korean people do not regard themselves as Qing people, but they are used to seeing Korea as a part of the Qing country, and the situation in later generations is very different.Young Master Meng also felt that as a Chinese, it was very comfortable in North Korea, and it was much better than dealing with foreigners in the concession.Queen Min asked directly in Chinese: "What's your name" Young Master Meng was too lazy to introduce himself, but now that people asked, he felt that he was a little rude, and he was also surprised that Queen Min's Chinese was very good, although it still had a strong Korean accent, but obviously, Queen Min already had the ability to talk to the people of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no need for an interpreter at all.t1706231537:
