Chapter 153 New Order in East Asia (V)

Japan's outstanding performance made another North Korea, which originally claimed to be a "old vassal state", faintly begin to worry.

Before, King Li Xi was greatly stimulated as he watched his beloved concubine and palace servants being destroyed by the beast-like Japanese ronin, and finally returned to heaven. Then, the king was kidnapped by Seiyuan Oi and others, fled north in a hurry, and was frightened all the way, and was frightened by anger and scared. In addition, he was in poor health, so he fell seriously ill halfway.

Dajing and others didn't care about this puppet monarch, and Li Xi died in a shortage of medical treatment.

Later, the surrender order came, and the Japanese army stationed in North Korea collapsed. In the midst of the turmoil, the Korean royal family captured by Japan, such as Concubine Yan, was killed by Japanese soldiers. His son, the so-called "Crown Prince" Li Eun, established by Japan, was just a baby, and naturally died under the sword. The original prince Li Tuo was a cowardly man. After years of torture, he was already mentally weak. Seeing such a crazy scene, he simply went crazy and shouted wildly. Finally, he was hacked to death by an impatient Japanese officer. The direct descendant of the Japanese Li Dynasty was considered a heir.

After the Chinese Empire liberation of North Korea, it was impossible to find the inheritance of the Lee Dynasty's direct descendants of the Korean Li Dynasty. This was a little confused.

At this time, panic occurred among the Korean nationalists. Various rumors spread everywhere, saying that China might abolish the vassal state and establish a county directly, and set up a North Korean province. Many pro-China factions, including many speculators, were even more like treasures, and they visited China-South Korea important officials in groups, advocated the merger of China and South Korea, and begged to entrust them.

For the Koreans, they experienced the humiliating colonial rule of Japan and witnessed the power of China's fierce battle against Japan and Russia. In addition, the Li royal family extinction, which is a symbol of the country, and Korean culture has been inherited from China, proclaiming "little China" to China, and they have regarded China as their parents as their country.

Coupled with the love of fighting against the Japanese in I-chen, the "big newspaper" in Seoul is still there, and the Chinese Empire claims to be "inheriting the emperor's orthodox orthodox", which adds a lot of intimacy. Many Korean people, intellectuals, middle class, and old people, once inspired, simply began to hold petitions in several major cities, demanding to "accompany to China."

Many old Koreans have already drawn out the Ming Dynasty clothes, or at least the Ming style clothes of the Li Dynasty. They are crying and talking about Chinese language in a deep voice, and they trace their ancestors back to the Wei, Jin and even Shang and Zhou, and expressing their ancestors from generation to generation, thinking about China and thinking about China. Today, they can see the king's army and protect the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains. They are already shaking their hearts. The blood of the Li Dynasty is cut off, which shows that God intends to let the little Chinese of Korea return to the country of China's parents. The Celestial Dynasty has opened its territory, and our people have to join the land of our ancestors. Since the establishment of Jizi Korea, it has been possible to return to their parents' country for the first time. This is an unprecedented event in Korea and a grand event in China.

Many ordinary people in North Korea have not been so complicated. They just think that China is so strong and has always been good at foreign races. Being a Chinese is not a bad thing. Not many of the Koreans who lived in China earlier have had their own problems? Looking at the bad things that the Japanese do in North Korea, it really makes people die than others...

Of course, the simplest logic is to be a Chinese and have face in front of the Japanese.

"Wu Do you dare to be rude to Master Shangbang. Do you want to commit suicide?"

Amid all kinds of emotions, various classes in North Korea have launched a "submission" campaign.

From Pyongyang to Seoul, and then to Busan, Japanese men and women sang "Doraki", men carried sacks, women carried jars, and walked along the mountain road to give their hometown products to the Celestial Dynasty royal army, and also brought the "Affiliation" signed by the villagers.

The Dukes and Ministers of the Lee Dynasty, various families and representatives of all walks of life, held a grand gathering and submitted a "Commentary on Please allow North Korea to join their parents' country, rectify the origin, and restore the identity of China". It was written in a thousand words, starting from Jizi and North Korea, saying that it was called the Zhou Dynasty, and it was talked about until the 1889-1895 Japanese turmoil, the family and country were declining, and the Japanese were cruel, and the people of North Korea were living in poverty. Fortunately, our Celestial King's army was mighty and restored to my country. However, King Li was unfortunate and the king was extinct. How could our Celestial King sit down and see the people suffering from the people of North Korea? I beg my great emperor to think of the sincerity of the Korean people's intentions of joining China, accept North Korea as the children of China, so that our Celestial King can be soaked in the Han style and restore the true nature of our Celestial King's branch. In this way, North Korea is very lucky, North Korea is very lucky, and North Korea is very lucky, and so on.

This made Zheng Yu a little amused and even caught him off guard.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't really want to accept North Korea as his local province.

The reason here is first of all, the requirements of the international situation. After all, North Korea has always been an independent country, and even if it is occupied by Japan, it can only be in the form of a vassal of a protector. At present, China's tough attitude has been suspected by the great powers. If it publicly annexes North Korea, no matter how "public opinion" it is, the great powers can think that you are a wolf-like ambition.

Public opinion? Do North Koreans understand what a country is?

Secondly, Zheng Yu, a fence-leading nation, is not worthy of it from the bottom of his heart. It is true that the Koreans work hard and have the talent for agriculture, but that's all. In Zheng Yu's view, North Korea is more suitable as a tool of the empire than the nationals of the empire itself. Some of their characteristics determine that as a "special management" existence, it can do things that are not convenient for the imperial military power. The empire benefits but has no reputation. But if the Koreans surrender to the empire and become the imperial citizens, this wonderful thing will naturally not be discussed.

Again, the East Asian order that the empire wants to build cannot be a naked annexation. Annan’s encampment before was a situational need. If North Korea “encamps” again, the future “liberation of Asia” would be just an empty word, and it would directly lead to Japan’s suspicion. The arrangements in India in the plan are more likely to be still in the womb.

Whether it is a thousand gold horse bones or a good example, North Korea, an independent state system, must be retained.

In the end, Zheng Yu looked down on the poor North Korea. He was so ruthless that he could afford this peninsula. Even if he could get mining, agricultural products, ports, and through treaties and political, economic and cultural control, he could all get it. Why should he annex it directly? It is too ugly to eat, which is really not conducive to Zheng Yu's planned empire blueprint.

In Zheng Yu's future East Asian system, the Koreans and the Japanese compete with each other, which is the correct model to promote common development. If North Korea is missing, the Japanese will be sad and suspicious, and most of the Koreans do not know Chinese, so they will inevitably be marginalized and may not be satisfied. In the end, everyone is unhappy, and China has both lost its name and reality. Such a stupid thing is really unbearable.

At this time, the great powers also came to the door and asked the empire to "give an explanation" about North Korea's future.

The UK's attitude is the most tactful. In short, as an ally, I don't want to see China do things that violate international political practices and principles. In today's world, respecting the independence of nation-states is the trend...

Li Jingfang also mentioned very simply that the Empire noticed that the Indian people had recently put forward some political demands to the colonial authorities of the Allied countries. As an ally of the British Empire, the Empire was also very concerned about the response of the Allied countries...

Seeing Sir Juerdian showing unconcealed anger and embarrassment, Li Jingfang smiled and quickly gave the other party a reassurance. The Empire would not interfere in India's affairs; your country would not have to worry too much about North Korea's affairs. Of course, the Empire would never make it difficult for the British government to do, which is guaranteed.

US Ambassador Rockhill was the most straightforward. If the empire directly annexes North Korea, the US government would find it difficult to calm down domestic concerns about China's attempt to "annex the entire Asia and even the Americas". At that time, the cooperation between China and the United States will inevitably be cast a shadow.

Under Zheng Yu's instruction, Li Jingfang gave Rockhill a reassurance: the empire will never annex North Korea, and North Korea's independence will be endorsed by the imperial government.

The envoys of the great powers reported to their respective countries in a skeptical manner, and the instructions they received were roughly "Keep paying close attention to China's movements in Northeast Asia and report in a timely manner."

Soon, the Chinese Empire government issued a formal notice, reviewing the friendship between North Korea and China for many years, the close relationship between China's parents and countries, and the deep friendship formed in many times to fight against enemies. On the other hand, thanking the Korean people for their trust and loyalty in the empire, and sincerely hoping that the two countries will continue to be close and friendly, so that North Korea can be bathed in the glory of Chinese civilization. But in the end, it also sincerely announced that the empire's East Asian order is an order of full respect for the will of an independent country and common development, rather than an expansion strategy of barbaric annexation and power hegemony.

Regarding North Korea, although the Lee Dynasty's direct lineage was cut off, the empire would respect the wishes of the Korean people and also suggested that the Korean people consider the way to establish their own country. On the empire, it cannot accept the requests from all walks of life in North Korea, and asked the North Korean side to give it an understanding.

As a result, the originally cheerful "righteous people" of North Korea lost their voices for a while. Many old and young people had not yet reacted, and privately said that this was the "three-in-one" rule of the Celestial Empire, which was passed down during the period of beating Yao, Shun and Yu. The ancient books clearly stated it is nothing. As long as we continue to write the book, the Celestial Empire must agree.

In this way, five or six reunions were returned.

Seeing that China's attitude was very firm, North Korea's "returning to the clan" was finally confused. Unexpectedly, he always thought that his territory was small, but this time he encountered a "fat meat" delivered to his door and was not recommended.

Many old men burst into tears, touching the ground with their heads, shouting that we, as survivors of China, would not be allowed to join our parents' country, and what kind of face should we meet our ancestors underground

North Korea suddenly felt sad. I originally thought that I could become a citizen of the Supreme People of the Celestial Kingdom, but I didn't expect that I would still be a small country's bullshit in this place where no birds lay eggs.

As the saying goes, "I will be looking at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditches"...

The flexible-minded person immediately changed his mind and began to incite the "China-Korea Marriage Discussion", that is, from the Lee clan of the Korean clan or among the remnants of the Wang family, he chose a beautiful and virtuous woman to marry His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Emperor as the "King's Daughter". His wife did not expect her to be a prince. As long as she had a name, she would give birth to a prince, and in this way, North Korea was close to the Supreme Kingdom. Although she did not submit, it was no different from submitting to her.

This time, North Korea's old and young people and many young people were applauding, and they all proposed that "there are rules for selecting women from North Korea in all dynasties" and immediately began to "seek beauty".

I heard that it was sent to the Celestial Empire as a concubine for His Majesty the Emperor, which caused a sensation in the whole country of North Korea.

This is not an ordinary emperor, but a contemporary Li Shimin. At the age of 18, he punched Russia, stepped on Japan, and created the East Asian landscape. What's more rare is that others have not been married yet. Even if they are not the main palace, they are at least at the level of a concubine? The name "Shao" means that North Korea has a "big prince" to inherit the throne of Korea. How decent it is that it is

At the beginning, the North Korean army was energetic to occupy Japan and mobilize troops to attack Vladivostok to the north, and did not take this seriously. By the time North Korea was in full swing, these people were shocked to find that what was originally used as a joke was going to be true.

Zheng Yu was really a little amused.

He is not a saint who is not fond of fireworks, but such a shocking thing clearly shows that he is a "stalker", which really makes him feel a little unacceptable.

Seeing that these North Koreans were a little obsessed, he had to get serious, issue orders to the garrison and the management authorities, and promulgated the "Outline of the Provisional National Policy of North Korea" in advance.

As soon as the "outline" came out, North Korea immediately stopped.

The outline is clear that since North Korea has been struggling and has no conclusion, and the empire does not want to "merge" North Korea, it will be up to the empire to manage North Korea for a period of time until the North Koreans can manage themselves.

In Zheng Yu's structure, the system of the Kingdom of Korea remains unchanged for the time being. If there is no suitable monarch, it is empty first. In short, since it is a vassal state, Zheng Yu can perform some functions as the emperor of the Sect Master, but the following posture must be set up. Similar to the structure established in Japan, the Chinese Empire implemented a comprehensive "supervision" system in Korea.

In order to develop the North Korean economy as soon as possible and strengthen Sino-North Korea cooperation, the Chinese Empire will implement the "Korean Breeding and Development Plan", with the Chinese Empire government providing special loans to industrial and commercial enterprises, and the North Korean government provides preferential policies, establish factories and mining enterprises in North Korea, and develop the economy according to local conditions.

In addition, considering that North Korea has barren land and its residents are poor, the Chinese Empire proposed to accept no more than 200,000 North Korean immigrants to join the imperial nationality, voluntarily register, and until the registration is full, the empire will arrange it to join the border area to join the military system in the border areas and reclaim the border guards.

According to the outline, the Chinese Empire designated the Provisional Government of North Korea, which was composed of the Koreans who fled to the empire in the early stage, and joined forces with the local pro-China faction to serve as a transitional government, and then transferred the regime to the formal North Korean government five years later.

After the establishment of the Provisional Government, the first thing was to formally sign the Sino-Korean Clan Agreement and the Sino-Korean Friendship and Trade Agreement similar to Japan.

Unlike the Sino-Japanese Agreement on Friendship and Cooperation, China and North Korea have established a legitimate "socracy and vassal state" system in accordance with the Sino-Korean Clan Agreement. On the one hand, it has continued the past China's canonization of the King of North Korea (although it is currently vacant) and the crown prince, as well as various etiquette systems. On the other hand, it has increased the recognition of the Prime Minister of North Korea, as well as China's unified management of North Korea's diplomatic rights and tariff rights.

In addition, according to the treaty, the Chinese Empire will implement state supervision in the fields of North Korea's politics, military, economic, cultural, etc. with a supervision system similar to that adopted in Japan until both sides recognize that North Korea can end supervision.

China's government supervisors bear half of their wages, while North Korea pays an additional part of the government supervision fees to the sovereign country every year, and they pay in gold, silver or equivalent international hard currency.

The China-DPRK Friendship and Trade Agreement clearly defines the mutual exemption system between China and North Korea, that is, the tariffs are only recorded on paper in form, and then they are returned separately in the situation of tax refunds from each country, and then the two countries will dispose of the accounts in order to realize China-DPRK free trade without violating the most-favored-nation treatment given to other countries.

In addition, the citizens of China and North Korea will have all rights to trade, travel, settle down, etc. in the two countries, and enjoy the same economic rights as the other citizens.

Soon, the two countries signed the Sino-North Korea Border Investigation Agreement.

In the boundary survey agreement, China and North Korea revised the border. The land north of the Datong River in North Korea was "granted" to North Korea by the Ming Dynasty. According to principles, the Chinese Empire has the right to take it back, but considering the friendship between China and North Korea and the residents of North Korea have lived for generations, China and North Korea will jointly manage this part of the territory and decide to belong ten years later by referendum.

Of course, in exchange, the Chinese Empire has complete exploration and mining rights after providing compensation for land acquisition by local residents.

At the cost, the Chinese Empire will provide North Korea with a low-interest loan of 50 million Chinese yuan to import materials and equipment from China, as well as capital for the joint venture of factories and mines in China.

For the North Korean government, the mountainous areas north of the Datong River are not worth much money. It is not so much a burden, but rather a wealth. In the past, it was actually used as a barrier to protect North Korea. But now North Korea clearly does not have to be hostile to China. This "barrier" is meaningless, so it is better to change to some real benefits.

Because the Korean won originally used by North Korea lacked the guarantee of precious metals, it had long lost its credibility, and the military hand tickets issued by the Japanese were notoriously becoming waste paper. During the term of the provisional government, North Korea regarded the Huayuan as the only legal currency, and the Korean won currency issued by the Japanese government was abolished.

Next is the highlight.

On November 15, China and North Korea officially signed the Sino-Korean Military Alliance Agreement.

According to the agreement, China will station no more than 50,000 standing army and naval forces in North Korea and lease two military bases, Incheon and Masanpu for a lease period of 99 years. Half of the cost of Chinese troops will be borne by the North Korean government.

The two countries will establish a military alliance. If any country fights a third country, the other country needs unconditional support with all resources, including military resources.

In addition, in order to improve the security of North Korea, the Chinese Empire helped North Korea establish the Korean National Defense Force based on some of the North Korean refugee armed forces they had trained as a previous one, and organized them into six brigades. During wartime, all armed forces in North Korea will be commanded by the Chinese Empire headquarters, or directly organized into the Chinese Empire's organizational troops and unified command.
