There is no doubt that Liu Chenglong was the biggest contributor to North Korea in the Battle of Renchen, and even the Ming government would not deny this.

After the war, Liu Chenglong was entrusted with important tasks by Li Jian. Not only did he rely on Liu Chenglong's ability to do things, but he also needed to tie Liu Chenglong to his side to prevent him from touching Guanghaijun, so as not to damage Li Jian's own power.

Li Chenglong's plan was very good. Liu Chenglong encouraged to maintain the existence of the North Korean government on the messy scorched earth after the war, gradually erased the pain of the war, rebuilt his home on the scorched earth of the war, and used his prestige to recruit the rebel army and adapted it into the North Korean government army to make up for the regular army that had lost all the losses after the war.

It is a bit ironic that the combat effectiveness of the Korean rebel army is far above that of those regular troops. For a long time after the war, the Korean government troops were formed based on this rebel army. The war of Japanese pirates helped the North Korean government save the cost of training.

However, North Korea has a weak local people and a weak economic foundation, and does not have as strong resistance as the Ming Dynasty, so the economic collapse is certain. Liu Chenglong racked his brains to prosper North Korea's collapsed finances, and then used a little personal relationship to get a pill of the war reparations demanded by the Ming Dynasty against Japan.

Every year, the 100,000 taels of Japanese compensation bank will be sent to the North Korean government through the Ming army stationed in Japan and handed over at the Port of Busan. Wu Weizhong, the general of the Ming army stationed in Japan, was responsible for the management of this matter. He has never embezzled one tael of silver, and the amount sent to the North Koreans is a full 100,000 taels of silver, but the silver that can be handed over to Liu Chenglong for operation is often only half of the silver.

The royal family asked for money, and the two squads who suffered heavy losses asked for money, and they all asked for money everywhere. The 100,000 taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket. As a last resort, Li Bing allowed Liu Chenglong to privately operate the matter of selling officials, allowing some of the official positions to be sold to make up for the financial deficit.

Even so, Liu Chenglong successfully extended his life to the North Korean government.

Over the past six years, North Korea's national strength has slowly recovered, and the people have gradually stabilized. They have licked their wounds to rebuild their homes, looking forward to a bright tomorrow that hides under the protection of the Ming Dynasty's wings.

At this moment, there was a drastic change in the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty no longer existed. Instead, it was replaced by the Qin Dynasty, which was established by Xiao Ruxun, the commander of the Eastern Expedition to the Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is gone.

The Qin Dynasty was established.

Xiao Ruxun asked North Korea to convert to the emperor and pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty.

Although I didn't say anything else that was very strong, if it was just a light request, it would be more determined.

It's the same as the Ming Dynasty has always been.

Morality is really unavoidable.

So Li Bing had to ask Liu Chenglong for advice.

Liu Chenglong was also surprised when he learned that there were drastic changes in the Ming Dynasty, but he believed that the Ming Dynasty would soon resume pacification, and he also planned to send troops to the Ming Dynasty to get more assistance. As a result, he didn't need it now, and he came by himself.

Xiao Ruxun, the Ming general who worked with him to destroy all the Japanese pirates, the terrible general who had made great achievements and never lost a battle, and the powerful general who was strong and unquestionable.

Now this man has become the emperor.

There is no doubt that North Korea's best choice is to immediately bow to the Qin Dynasty and get the protection of the Qin Dynasty. Maybe it can get more assistance. If North Korea and the Qin Dynasty go against each other...

Not to mention aid, the next time I will come will be the army of Daqin.

Although North Korea is not the weakest moment now, it is almost the same. It is absolutely impossible to fight against the Qin army, let alone Xiao Ruxun, who has a clear understanding of North Korea's geography and climate, is a battle without hope.

Now Xiao Ruxun is willing to include North Korea within its protection scope. If North Korea is ungrateful, it is estimated that Xiao Ruxun will directly include North Korea in its ruling scope and set up a province!

Liu Chenglong almost immediately gave the best advice and immediately submitted a letter to Daqin, presented a congratulatory gift, and organized a team of envoys to Beijing to congratulate the Emperor of Qin as soon as possible, and set the title of the monarch and ministers. In this way, Daqin will have the obligation to protect North Korea and North Korea can continue to exist.

Of course, Li Bing knew the necessity of doing this. He decided to do this within a day after he received the news. However, the controversy between the court is too great now. He is really unsure to force the resolution. If no one waves the flag for him, he will be powerless.

Liu Chenglong immediately understood Li Bing's purpose.

Let Liu Chenglong be his scapegoat and waving flags for him. Then Li Bing pretended to be reluctant to submit to the Qin Dynasty to preserve the dignity of the Korean royal family.

Liu Chenglong sighed deeply.

Are you heartbroken?

It’s nothing. As a politician, this is the basic skill. If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die. If the king wants his minister to do these things, the minister must do such things. This is a common thing and there is nothing to worry about.

It was just that he had paid so much for North Korea and worked hard to win that battle, almost giving up his life. After the war, he worked hard to encourage the maintenance of the government under the overall situation of constant party struggles. Liu Chenglong asked himself that he had no place to be sorry for the North Korean government.

"The king asked me to do this, so I will do this naturally. But after the matter is done, I also asked the king to allow me to retire and return home. I am tired."

Li Bing's first reaction was that he was unwilling to do so.

So how can a skilled official give up like this? If Liu Chenglong is gone, who should be the general manager of the state government affairs?

The second reaction is that this is not a big deal.

Although Liu Chenglong is capable, this matter will inevitably become the target of public criticism. If he continues to appoint him, it will inevitably affect the Korean royal family. In this matter, the Korean royal family must maintain a relatively neutral attitude. The person who waves the flag and shouts is Liu Chenglong, not the Korean royal family, not Lee Wong.

Without Liu Chenglong, there are so many ministers in the court that there are always those who can replace him.

Li Bing sighed and whispered: "Mr. Liu has made contributions to North Korea, I will not forget. I will let you return home with glory."

As soon as he said this, Liu Chenglong's heart sank to the bottom.

"My me, please follow the orders of the king."

Liu Chenglong took up this job and completed the task very successfully. He wrote a letter to shout out the importance of submitting to the Qin Dynasty, severely refuting those ignorant statements, believing that it was sending North Korea to the brink of war.

Liu Chenglong himself belongs to the power of the Southern Party. Under the premise that the party struggle turned into a struggle of will, this certainly made other court cliques very annoyed, and was also jealous of Liu Chenglong's contribution and prestige, so they gathered fire to Liu Chenglong.

Liu Chenglong was scolded to the point of being bloody.

Li Bing finally removed Liu Chenglong from his position and dismissed him, but he passed the resolution to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. At this time, the ministers seemed to care no longer, as if their purpose was to defeat Liu Chenglong at the beginning.

This is very embarrassing.

However, this was not beyond Li Chin's expectations. Li Chin successfully survived the political crisis and sent a congratulatory letter to Da Qin, showing his determination to surrender, and expressed his willingness to worship the Emperor of Da Qin and give him tribute.

The news quickly spread to Beijing, and at this time, Xiao Ruxun had no intention of paying attention to North Korea. His energy was to host banquets to entertain the generals of the Northwest and the two surrendered civil servants in the Northwest.
