Chapter 743 "Treaty of Sea Ancient City"

Li Cheng was riding on the horse and raised his head high.

In Liujing City, he never felt as arrogant as he is today. Of course, he knew very well that everything now was given by the Great Yu Kingdom.

If the Great Yu Kingdom had not defeated Goryeo, he would probably have been in a different position now.

So from the beginning he was betting like a gambler, and the result was that he won.

Now he not only received preferential treatment from King Goryeo, but his father, who was inferior to beasts, was also servile to him and was now holding a horse for him.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Li Cheng saw that King Goryeo was already waiting there, and the officials of Goryeo also showed respect.

At this time, Li Chengzai's eyes were at Jin Changxi among the crowd. Now the man who was sarcastic about him lowered his head and did not dare to look at him at all.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengzai couldn't help but sneer.

But he did not forget his mission. He did not come to take revenge, but to trade ports.

"Li Chengzai, I have been waiting for you these days." King Goryeo smiled and looked very intimate with Li Chengzai.

Li Chengzai also smiled and bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

King Goryeo nodded with satisfaction and pulled Li Chengzai toward the palace. The time for Li Chengzai to arrive happened, and at this time the barbarians had withdrawn from Liujing City.

Now that there are no barbarians, Liu Jingcheng has become his world again.

When he sat down in the palace, Li Chengzai didn't tell much about Goryeo Wang. The Great Yu Kingdom is waiting for his news, so he directly told all the conditions of the Great Yu Kingdom.

"General Ye said that in addition to ceding the two cities of Hai Ancient City and Beisha City, the goods of the Great Yu Kingdom must be free to travel in Goryeo, and Goryeo must not impose any tax on goods of the Great Yu Kingdom. At the same time, merchants of the Great Yu Kingdom must have extraterritorial legal rights in Goryeo."

"Extraordinary legal power, what is this?" King Goryeo said in confusion.

Li Cheng was a little confused when he first heard this word. After explanation, he realized it. So he said: "This extraterritorial legal power is that the people of Dayu violated the law in Goryeo. Goryeo cannot deal with it according to Goryeo's laws, but must hand over the merchants to the Dayu's country for disposal."

The more the officials in Goryeo looked ugly, because this meant that the people of Dayu became superiors in Goryeo, and they became inferiors.

King Goryeo's smile calmed down, and he said, "If this is the case, wouldn't the people of Dayu be able to set out at will in Goryeo?"

"This is not the case. The laws of the Great Yu Kingdom are strictly enforced. This move is just to make it difficult for the Goryeo officials to deliberately make things difficult for the Great Yu people." Li Cheng had already made excuses.

"Is there any?" King Goryeo's heart was bleeding. If he agreed to these conditions, it would be equivalent to Goryeo losing some of its royal power.

Li Cheng nodded and continued: "After the ceased Hai Ancient City and Beisha City are the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom. Invasion of Hai Ancient City and Beisha City is like declaring war on the Great Yu Kingdom."

After saying that, Li Cheng came up with a treaty and said, "The requests of the Great Yu Kingdom are in this treaty. As long as the king signs, the Great Yu Kingdom will withdraw its troops."

King Goryeo took the black and white words, his body trembled slightly, and saw six words written on it. The first one was written. The Great Yu Kingdom and Goryeo jointly announced the end of the war and formal truce.

Article 2: The four cities of Daxing City, Jingquan City, Baekje City and Liujing City are all trade ports, and the Dayu Kingdom is allowed to send permanent consuls and allow merchants and families of Dayu Kingdom to live freely.

Article 3: Cut land, Goryeo ceded the ancient city of sea, and Beisha City to the Great Yu Kingdom.

Article 4: Indemnity, Goryeo pays the Great Yu State a reimbursement of the Great Yu State’s military expenditure for the Great Yu State to fight for 3 million taels of silver. If there is no silver, it can be offset with ore, grain, and slaves.

Article 5: The merchants of the Dayu Kingdom and the Korean merchants are allowed to trade freely and all taxes are exempted from goods. At the same time, the Dayu Kingdom people have extraterritorial legal rights.

After reading these five conditions one by one, the King of Goryeo could hardly breathe. The Great Yu Kingdom wanted to put him on the fire. Once he signed this treaty, it would be a terrifying thing for all ages.

"King, the Great Yu Kingdom has not given us much time. If the country is destroyed or a treaty, the King can only choose one." Li Cheng saw that King Goryeo was a little hesitant.

Taking a deep breath, King Goryeo asked, "If so, will the Great Yu Kingdom promise to deal with the Japanese count?"

"General Ye said that if Japan dares to go north, they will block the route of Japan." Li Cheng said.

King Goryeo nodded and sighed. Now his most worry is that Japan continues to go north. Now that the Great Yu Kingdom has given them this promise, it seems that there is no problem signing this.

More importantly, through this matter, he gradually realized that he could not rely entirely on the Golden Horde. He had to choose a balance between the Great Chongqing and the Golden Horde.

"Give the king's seal." King Goryeo said in a deep voice.

At this time, an official presented a jade-carved seal on both hands and stamped the seal on the paper called "The Treaty of the Ancient City of the Sea".

When Li Chengzai saw him, he showed a strong smile on his face. He said, "The king is wise. In fact, the people of Dayu are just doing business in Goryeo. The purpose of seizing Beisha City is to deal with the Golden Horde. The Great Chongqing and the Golden Horde are enemies, and Goryeo does not need to participate."

"It's because of my opinion here. It's because of my king Menglang." King Goryeo looked tired and was stuck between the Golden Horde, Japan, and the Great Yu Kingdom.

Li Cheng nodded, and then put away the treaty. He said, "The king, you must return to the ancient city of Hai. I hope the king will remember these conditions. If it is violated, the war will be rekindled and say goodbye."

After saying that, Li Cheng turned around and left, leaving behind the shocked King of Goryeo.

When the officials saw that Li Chengzai's figure disappeared, they started to yell, "This Li Chengzai is just a low-key person, but now he is becoming more and more arrogant when he surrenders to the enemy and sells the country."

"That's right, Lee Hyuk Jae, you really have a good son."

“…”

The officials quarreled and scolded, not sure whether it was out of resentment or simple envy for Li Chengzai. After all, Li Chengzai is really a senior at the moment, and even King Goryeo doesn't have to give him face.

On this side, Li Cheng rode his horse towards the ancient city of Hai. At noon the next day, he arrived at the ancient city of Hai.

When he saw Ye Qingyun, he presented the "Treaty of the Ancient City of the Sea" with the King of Goryeo.

"Yeah, very good."

Ye Qingyun was overjoyed. Their purpose of coming to Goryeo this time was achieved. From then on, the goods from the Great Yu Kingdom will enter Goryeo unimpeded, and this place will become a dumping place for industrial products.

After putting away the treaty, Ye Qingyun called a personal guard and said to him: "You will send the treaty to Qingzhou immediately now."
