Chapter 743 Conditions

"Sincerity? Yes, yes. Read" The King of Goryeo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said hurriedly: "The head of Goryeo Right Councillor Li Wancheng is outside the palace. He has always been close to Beidi. It was under his instigation that the little king repeatedly committed the crime of disrespect. I hope Your Highness will understand!"

Yin Boming added, "It was Li Wancheng who advocated going to Beidi for help this time. This Li Wancheng is actually a running dog of Beidi."

Zhao Xu heard this with a sneer on his face.

He doesn't care about the life and death of this Goryeo Right Councillor.

Over the years, Goryeo betrayed Dasong and was willing to act as a lackey of Beidi, even participating in the battle of Ningjindusi and slaughtering the people of Dasong.

It also built warships for Beidi and went south to attack Yanzhou.

He kept these accounts in mind.

This time, he invaded Goryeo through the East Earth Alliance and prepared to bring Goryeo into his sphere of influence for the benefit of Dasong, not for kindness.

If it weren't for supporting a puppet court in Goryeo after the war, he wouldn't have met the Goryeo king at all.

He wouldn't care about the Goryeo left councillor.

Besides, they weren't his only choice.

If it weren't for the trouble, he could have abolished the Goryeo king and supported a Goryeo prince to inherit the throne after expelling the East Earth Alliance.

So, if the two couldn't satisfy his interests.

Then they would go back to where they came from!

Let Chai Wu capture a Goryeo prince to Dasong, and it won't be too late for him to take action after Goryeo is destroyed.

Thinking of this, he said to the Goryeo king and Yin Boming: "You know that this is not what I want. If you don't have any sincerity, please go back. When the East Earth Alliance reaches Dongjiang, it won't be too late for me to take action."

This Dongjiang is the name of the Yalu River here.

The Goryeo king trembled in his heart, his legs suddenly became a little weak, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing this, Yin Boming was secretly happy.

He was very happy to see the King of Goryeo make a fool of himself in front of the King of Yan.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to show the King of Yan that he was qualified to be a pawn of Daesong in Goryeo.

In this way, when he returns to Goryeo in the future, with the support of Daesong, even the King of Goryeo will have to look at his face, just like Li Wancheng with the support of Beidi.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we Goryeo owe Daesong too much. We should immediately sign a contract and pay tribute every year from now on. We will become a vassal state of Daesong again, and we should return all the occupied Daesong territories to Daesong."

Zhao Xu nodded gently. The area occupied by Goryeo is the contemporary Liaodong Peninsula, which is where Liaoning is located.

Ancheng is Lushun, and Ancheng Port is Lushun Port.

However, this is what Goryeo should return to Daesong.

Even if they don't return it, they will take it down.

After all, this is equivalent to robbing his things, and returning them can't be regarded as giving up interests.

So he continued to remain silent and waited for Yin Boming's next words.

"This..." Yin Boming said, and saw that there was no trace of joy on the face of the King of Yan, and he was worried.

Obviously, the conditions he proposed were not enough to move the King of Yan.

After thinking about it, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind and continued: "When the East Earth Coalition Army retreats, I, Goryeo, am willing to trade with Dasong without collecting any commercial taxes."

The King of Yan did not hesitate to send a fleet to force Goryeo to trade, and he must have attached great importance to trade, so he decided to give it a try.

Zhao Xu shook his head, still dissatisfied, perhaps due to the limitations of this era.

The Goryeo monarchs and ministers could not think of some unequal conditions that have only become popular in modern times.

After a pause, he said: "This king will not hang you up. In addition to the conditions you just mentioned, this king requires you Goryeo to abolish the Goryeo language and let the Goryeo people learn my Dasong language again."

Because of surrendering to the Northern Di, Goryeo mixed the Dasong language with the Northern Di language, and created some characters on its own, forming the current Goryeo language.

This is to be independent from the Daesong cultural circle and completely separate from Daesong.

According to contemporary experience, once these small countries around Daesong do this, they will inevitably take opposition to Daesong as the foundation of their country in the future.

This phenomenon has already occurred in Goryeo now.

Moreover, because there are too many traditions copied from Daesong in their culture, they will inevitably deny the Central Plains culture, stealing it for their own use and forcibly occupying the origin of these cultures.

Therefore, he wants to nip this tendency in the bud.

The recognition of civilization does not matter how large its territory is, but its cultural recognition.

Compared with a vassal state in the sense of territory, he would rather Goryeo regard Daesong as a cultural suzerain.

In this way, the Goryeo people will think that Goryeo is just a part of the Central Plains civilization from the bottom of their hearts.

Yearning for the Central Plains culture from the bottom of their hearts, although they were born in Goryeo, they think of themselves as Daesong people in their hearts.

The King of Goryeo and Yin Boming were both stunned. They did not expect the King of Yan to put forward this condition.

But for them, this one is easy to achieve.

Since it is a vassal state of Dasong, it is reasonable to learn the language of Dasong.

Yin Boming was about to speak, but the King of Goryeo interrupted and said, "The young king agrees to this."

He came to his senses and couldn't let Yin Boming steal his limelight.

Zhao Xu smiled faintly and said, "This is just one of them. In the battle of Ningjin Dusi, your Goryeo army burned, killed and looted, and then repeatedly attacked Dasong fishermen and built warships to help Beidi attack Yanzhou. For all these reasons, you must compensate Dasong for its losses, 50 million taels of silver."

"Fifty million taels!" The heart of the Goryeo King seemed to be pinched, and he was so nervous that he was panicking.

The tax surplus of Goryeo in one year was only more than 2 million taels, which would take 20 years to pay off.

"Why, shouldn't you Goryeo pay? Besides, you have occupied my Dasong territory for so many years. For more than a hundred years, all the taxes paid by the people in these territories have fallen into your Goryeo pockets."

"It should be paid, it is indeed paid." Yin Boming seized the opportunity to speak, and then he said to the Goryeo King, "Your Majesty, if you don't agree, someone will naturally agree for you, you should think about it."

The Goryeo King suddenly woke up. Now is not the time for him to be picky. He has no choice.

Now is the time for the King of Yan to give him a chance. If he doesn't agree, the King of Yan will just replace the Goryeo King.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "The little king agrees, the little king agrees to everything."

If he drives away the East Land Coalition, he is still the Goryeo King.

Otherwise, he is nothing.

Rather than suffering himself, it is better to let the Goryeo people suffer a little.

"Hahaha..." At this time, Zhao Xu laughed.

In fact, he was also testing the King of Goryeo.

If the King of Goryeo would rather die than surrender and did not agree to these humiliating conditions, he would not be able to keep him.

Since he was raising a concubine, why not raise a flattering and obedient one who could get whatever he wanted.

"In this case, sign this contract, and I, Dasong, will soon send troops to Goryeo to expel the Eastern Land Coalition." Zhao Xu handed a well-prepared contract to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng took it and presented it to the King of Goryeo.

The ministers and officials under the steps were stunned.

They thought that the King of Goryeo came here this time just to submit to Dasong.

Unexpectedly, the King of Yan would be so harsh on Goryeo.

However, it was really gratifying!

Whether it was Yang Feng and other old ministers, or Liu Fu and Chang Wei and others, they all looked pleased throughout the whole process.

When the King of Goryeo signed the contract in person, they all smiled knowingly.

On the dragon throne.

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded.

Then, his eyes lingered on Zhao Xu's profile.

Fleeing to Yanzhou was probably the only correct choice in his life.

Otherwise, how could he see the day when the King of Goryeo knelt down so humbly.

At this moment, he really felt the glory that the previous emperors felt when Dasong was strong.
