Han Juyuan, a member of the Imperial Academy, was born as a jinshi in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and when Chongzhen was fifteen years old, he secretly sent an envoy to North Korea, and then the city of Beijing was broken, and he first descended to break through and then surrendered to the Qing.
Because he had the experience of being an envoy to North Korea, he has been working as an errand in the Imperial Palace.
In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Suke Saha sent Han Juyuan to North Korea to transfer troops to deal with Rakshasa , and after returning to Korea, Han has been in charge of Korean affairs in the Imperial Court, which is one of the few "Korean experts" in the Qing court.
Han Juyuan was very pleasantly surprised to learn that he was appointed by the emperor to send an envoy to North Korea immediately, and after he returned, he was promoted to raise the flag.
He prepared for one day in the Imperial Palace, and the next day he led his attaché to Tianjin Wei, and then took a sea ship from Tianjin to Korea.
Compared with this road from Shanhaiguan through Jinzhou and then to Datong River to Seoul, it is much faster, and the only thing that suffers is that the sea ship is very bumpy.
Han Juyuan arrived in Korea on 21 March, and as soon as he entered the port, the local North Korean officials treated him as if he were a guest, and at the same time, the news of the arrival of the Heavenly Empire's envoy was also reported to Seoul as soon as possible.
Hearing that an envoy from the Qing Dynasty was coming, the Korean king Li Di was very nervous, nervous and a little scared at the same time.
Li Di's nervousness and fear lie in his father Li Hao.
Because the Ming Dynasty had sent troops to help Korea expel the Japanese invasion during the Wanli period, the whole country of Korea was grateful to the Ming Dynasty, so after the rise of the Manchu Dynasty, North Korea sent troops to help the Ming Dynasty fight many times.
Later, the Qing Dynasty Hongtai personally commanded the army to crusade against Korea, the Korean capital Seoul fell in an instant, the Korean king Li Liang sent a letter to ask for surrender, the two sides built an altar and swore an oath, and Korea became a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing army took Li Wei, Li Jun, and Li Hao, the sons of Li Liang, to Shenyang as hostages.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in the second year of Shunzhi, Li Hao, who had lived in the Qing Dynasty as a hostage for a long time, returned to Seoul and inherited the throne four years later, with the temple name Xiaozong.
After Li Hao became the king of Joseon, the enthusiasm of the whole country to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty was still very high at that time, and Li Hao himself was no exception.
As soon as he came to power, he took it as his mission to restore the great tomorrow, convinced of the Confucian maxim that the Hu people would not have a hundred years of luck, regarded earthquakes, comets and other natural disasters as a sign of the demise of the Qing Dynasty, and placed high hopes on the anti-Qing forces such as the Southern Ming regime, and even did not hesitate to reconcile with the feud Japan, and was willing to lend the road to the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate army in order to flank the Qing Dynasty together with the Southern Ming regime.
In order to cultivate the strength of North Korea, Li Hao actively expanded the armament war, and the army of the Imperial Camp Hall in Seoul increased from 7,000 to 21,000, and the forbidden army increased from 600 to 1,000, and all of them were reorganized into cavalry.
However, North Korea's finances were very difficult and its armaments were weak, and it was simply unable to support Li Hao's ambition of "cutting down the Qing", coupled with the rapid progress of the Qing army in the south, the Qing Dynasty effectively controlled most of the provinces in the country, and although the resistance of the Ming army in the south was fierce, the possibility of the Ming Dynasty's resurrection was not very likely.
In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Li Hao reported to the Qing court that Japan might raise troops to invade the west, and asked for training troops to repair the city, but the Qing Dynasty sent secret envoys to inspect the site and found that Korea was trying to renovate its war preparations in the name of defending against Japan, and plotted against him, so the regent Dolgon issued an edict to reprimand Li Hao and warned Korea to abide by the way of his courtiers.
Seeing that China's domestic anti-Qing forces were dying out one by one, that the Qing court actually possessed most of China, and that the Qing Dynasty was on guard against itself, Li Hao had to change his course, no longer holding the idea of restoring the Ming Dynasty, but wanted to improve relations with the Qing Dynasty, and looked for every opportunity to serve the Qing Dynasty, so as to reasonably explain his previous intention to expand military warfare.
It's a pity that he died of illness before he could take effective action.
After Li Hao's death, his eldest son, Li Di, who was only 18 years old, succeeded to the throne.
Like his father Li Hao, Li Di was also a hostage in Shenyang when he was young, so he was very afraid of the Qing Dynasty in his bones, and his father Li Hao had been trying to raise troops to conquer the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty when he was alive, so Li Di was very afraid that the Qing Dynasty would settle accounts with him, and even would not recognize himself as a king and interfere with the change of the Korean throne.
Fortunately, since Li Di succeeded to the throne for more than a year, the Qing Dynasty did not make any accusations against North Korea, and also recognized him as the king of North Korea, which made Li Li feel at ease and began to carry out the internal political reform of North Korea.
Not long ago, Li Di had just ordered his subordinates to formulate a law to prohibit marriage with the same clan and surname, and at the same time invented copper movable type printing technology, but just when these two major things that he had been trying to do before he succeeded to the throne had just come to his senses, the angels of the Qing Dynasty suddenly came, and there was no news at all in advance, and then he thought of the Qing Dynasty sent several groups of "survey envoys" to North Korea in the past, which made Li Di feel nervous and afraid, and he was afraid that the Qing envoys were "not good at coming".
During the few days when he waited for the Qing envoys to come to Seoul, Li Di was always worried, fearing that the Qing Dynasty would send envoys to reprimand his deceased father, who had secretly plotted against the Qing Dynasty, and to investigate the crimes of "misdeeds" in Korea.
The day after Han Juyuan arrived in Seoul, Li Di was nervous and accompanied by the ministers of the left and right councils.
The two sides first carried out some ceremonial acts symbolically, and exchanged a lot of polite words to each other.
Li Di was glad to find that the words of the Qing Dynasty envoy were not threatening, but he still couldn't understand the purpose of the Qing Dynasty's envoy.
So after some temptation, he finally mustered up the courage to ask the Qing envoy about the purpose of the visit, and learned that the Qing Dynasty wanted the Korean State to send 5,000 troops to help suppress the thieves, Li Di and the ministers were stunned.
Li Di asked Han Juyuan, the Qing envoy, with a suspicious face: "Xiao Wang dares to ask the angel, the Qing Dynasty has already occupied China, why do you want our country to send troops to fight?"
Han Juyuan knew the young king in front of him, when he came to North Korea seven years ago, Li Di was still a son, and he was only eleven years old at that time, he was a naughty boy, after seven years, the naughty boy became the king of North Korea, which made him a little embarrassed.
Han Juyuan was clear about the domestic situation and the crisis faced by the Qing court, but he knew that he must not show half of it in front of the Koreans, so he said quietly: "Although my Qing Dynasty is based on China, there are still soldiers and horses of the former Ming Dynasty in the southern Lingnan who resist stubbornly.
My emperor heard that your Korean firearms are strong, so he specially ordered the official to come to your country and ask your country to send troops to help. ” "This" After Li Di heard this, he was very embarrassed, and Zheng Taihe, the Minister of Parliament, also shook his head slightly at him.
Zheng Taihe's intention was obvious, he wanted the king to reject the Qing Dynasty's demands.
Li Di wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the strength of the Qing army he had witnessed in Shengjing in the past, and the Qing envoys who came to North Korea every once in a while to arrest and kill people, he didn't dare to say anything about his refusal.
He coughed lightly, and suddenly turned the conversation and asked Han Juyuan: "I don't know how much the Qing Emperor is this year."
I heard that I was given a strong push on the homepage, and the little beauty came to ask me to help with the chapter push again.
Alas, you have nothing to tease her, this is also an old driver, and he likes to tell jokes the most.
Confusing the Red Mansion through the Red Mansion into Jia Lian, surrounded by beauties and having no capital, this is a bitter old boy, you can see it, you want to touch it, and you are pondering the story. oshow7 t1706231537:
