During the period when Pidao mobilized almost all manpower to build a large-scale construction, Zhao Xing and his subordinates crossed the strait, landed in Luofengli, North Korea, and embarked on a journey to Tieshan. He wanted to find a way for Dongjiang Town to make money.

At this time, North Korea was already undermined by Amin, the Later Jin Dynasty in the seventh year of the Tianqi period. On the third day of the seventh year of the Tianqi period, the South Jin Dynasty reached an alliance with Jiannu and the Later Jin Dynasty on Ganghua Island. The two sides formed a brother country. When Amin withdraws his troops, he has made a separate agreement with North Korean hostages, Li Jiu, Li Jiu, in Pyongyang, stipulating that North Korea will lose annual tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty. Soon, the Later Jin Dynasty asked North Korea to open a market for Zhongjiang and trade with it. North Korea could not refuse these requests and was forced to agree one by one. However, the vassal relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty has not been cut off.

However, there are still many difficult unsolved cases between North Korea and the Later Jin Dynasty, such as the "year-old monies" sent by North Korea to the Later Jin Dynasty, which was returned by Huang Taiji; North Korea promised to open a market in Huining, but it was delayed in cashing out; North Korea allowed cross-border ginseng and hunting, and disputes over the issue of fugitives in the Later Jin Dynasty, etc. Of course, the most important issue is the ambiguous relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, that is, while complying with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming enemy, the Later Jin Dynasty, and survived in such a crack.

When Mao Wenlong fought against Tieshan again and fought for the whole winter, he finally isolated the connection between North Korea and the Later Jin Dynasty, thus making North Korea a nominally a brother country of the Later Jin Dynasty and had no actual contact.

But as soon as Mao Wenlong died, Dongjiang Town died in name only and eventually fell apart, and North Korea was once again threatened by the Later Jin Dynasty. Fortunately, Huang Taiji had all his strength to invade the capital and had no time to pay attention to him. After Huang Taiji returned with his feathers, he no longer had to grab a lot of money like the original history, but was seriously injured. So he set his sights on North Korea again. As the saying goes, the loss in the land was supplemented, and the loss had to come from North Korea. So, they proposed more large-scale material offerings, population migration, and many harsh conditions to North Korea. At this time, King In-jo was in panic all day long.

At this critical moment, Li Guangdao, the Iron Mountain Commander, and Jin Quanshi, did not expect that the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom would come to an envoy, and he was also the commander of the Jinyiwei, the high commander of the Jinyiwei.

At that time, my face turned pale. I really didn't know what kind of kingly law I had violated, which annoyed the Shangguo. I also sent an commander to come out to capture him personally.

Don't think it's impossible. North Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. They regarded themselves as small China. Especially in this situation, the Governor of Denglai has restrained all areas north of Pyongyang, and Tieshan is within it. It is common for the Celestial Kingdom to arrest people directly.

Especially this time, the infamous Jinyiwei came. They didn’t come to pick up people, would they still praise them?

With a nervous heart, Zhao Xing felt very uncomfortable and kneeled down at the city gate to greet the heavenly court.

It is no wonder that a later generation naturally believed that countries were equal. When did they see foreigners kneeling down and kowtow in fear when they saw a Chinese ambassador?

He hurriedly stepped forward and supported him with his hands: "Mr. Li, after you pass, get up and talk quickly." He supported Li Guangdao, and Zhao Xing carefully looked at the prefect of North Korea.

A low, thin old man who was only as tall as his shoulders had the same beard as a mainland official and was wearing the same robe as a mainland prefect. The only difference was that his robe was half shorter than that of the mainland, but was as big as a top, and there was no difference between them.

He was respectfully invited to the lobby of Tieshan and arranged at the top of the lobby. The Chinese characters on his head were written in a blatant and bright manner. Then the screen with red sun rising to the sea, the quiet side and left and right avoided the plaque. He respectfully under the hall, the officials and yamen running a standard Beijing movie speech made Zhao Xing feel. In a trance, he returned to a prefecture government office in the Ming Dynasty.

The only difference from the mainland is that the civil servant who stood below respectfully did not have the unrestrained resistance of the mainland officials to the Jinyiwei in his eyes. It really made Zhao Xing feel at home.

"Emperor—" Zhao Xing just spoke.

The North Korean officials in the hall immediately knelt down in fear and said, "Long live the words."

Every time Zhao Xing mentioned the emperor, he had to come out of court to help him. Overall, the North Korean officials were far more respectful to the Ming Emperor than those in the mainland.

In the end, Zhao Xing had to avoid the word "The Emperor" during the conversation, otherwise he would kneel down, support him, and make this statement impossible.

In the end, the real exchange was still at the banquet.

In addition to various exquisite kimchi, the same chopsticks, the same cups and plates, and various etiquettes are very popular with the Tang and Song dynasties. Some elegant etiquettes have disappeared in the Central Plains, but they reappear here, making Zhao Xing feel that this is definitely an artistic feast. Zhao Xing sighed that South Korea applied many things from China to World Heritage, and China is really embarrassed to refute it, because China has long abandoned these elegant arts, and it is really only in South Korea and Japan that can we feel the elegant artistic glory of our motherland again.

At the banquet, North Korean officials, including the military general Jin Quanshi, read the poems of Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty and Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty. Almost every word said, they could appropriately quote the words of Tang and Song Dynasty, especially Su Dongpo, which made the whole banquet more elegant.

Fortunately, I watched CCTV Poetry Conference a lot, and Zhao Xing, who loved ancient poetry, was in a hurry, seemed to have found a soulmate without losing face.

But in the end, Zhao Xing started a normal conversation. Elegance is enjoyable, but it is too tiring.

It was easy to talk at the banquet, and the noodles were hot and the wine was refreshing, and the caution was gone. So the topic finally reached the purpose of Zhao Xing's visit this time.

"This time, I came here not by the orders of the court, but by asking Lord Li for his personal capacity."

When Li Guangdao heard that the angels did not come on behalf of the court, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He heard that he was coming to beg for him, but he didn't dare to call him.

Zhao Xing patted her shoulder intimately: "Since I am not representing the court, then our brothers are brothers, and I am here to ask you for personal favors."

When he heard that he was favored, Li Guangdao became even more confused. He had never had any interaction with this thing, so where is the saying of favor?

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "I remember that in order to protect North Korea from being enslaved and bullied by Jiannu, Mao Shuai took his Dongjiang Town soldiers outside Tieshan City and fought for a whole winter. He finally defeated Jiannu Amin and saved the entire North Korea. Did Mao Shuai make a contribution to North Korea? Did he make a contribution to Tieshan?"

When he heard this, Li Guangdao covered his face and sighed: "When thinking about that battle, the lower officials still feel extremely tragic now. If it weren't for Mao Shuai, it would be unknown whether Nuqiu Amin could conquer the Kingdom of Korea, but at least my entire Tieshan and Xuanzhou behind me would be damaged. From this point of view, I myself, and all the officials and people of Tieshan Xuanzhou, owed Mao Shuai a big favor."

It’s great if the small country is in love, this is much better than the ungrateful wolf in later generations.
