Chapter 893: Weak countries have no diplomacy

"Li Xiang never had the intention to annex Goguryeo. There was no in the past, no in the present, and there would not be no in the future!" Gu Han said. "But Doctor Park, General Tan, and Goguryeo will always be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't you both have any objections to this?"

Park Zicheng and Tan Daozhen looked at each other and nodded.

Goguryeo was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and had been tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but it was interrupted over the years.

"The Tang Dynasty did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of Goguryeo." Gu Han smiled and said, "Even if anyone of you is the king, we don't want to interfere. But one thing is, this king must be enfeoffed by the Tang Dynasty court, otherwise we will not recognize it."

When Gu Han's words were carefully studied, they were really nonsense. What does it mean to not interfere with internal affairs? Even if you admit the king of another country, do you still call it not interfering with internal affairs? When there is no need, I don't bother with who you are, I am too lazy to pay attention to who you are, but when it is necessary, isn't I going to let anyone be the king and who is the legitimate and legal king?

Such a big tail is in your hand, and you will be able to control you whenever you want.

"Very good, so we will reach an agreement on a big side." Gu Han said happily: "Then let's talk about the second point. Li Xiang asked the Tang Dynasty to have the right to station troops in Goguryeo."

"Justice Gu said just now that he would not interfere in our internal affairs in the future? Why are he now asking for troops to be stationed in our country?" Park Zicheng was furious.

Gu Han said seriously: "Doctor Park, first of all, this is for you."

Looking at Gu Han's innocent expression, Park Zicheng said in a slight manner: "I have never heard of an independent country with foreign troops."

Gu Han put his face on his face, squinted his eyes, and said, "Doctor Park, Li Xiang said that the Tang Dynasty will not interfere with the internal affairs of Goguryeo in the future, but you are still our vassal states. What are vassal states? To put it bluntly, that is, we are mothers, you are sons. Now my son is in chaos, with bandits as many as cows, and his own military power is not good. At this time, we, the mother, naturally, will we help our son on the horse and send him on a journey. Only when he is safe and strong, will this mother be relieved. We don't want to leave our hands at the beginning. If Goguryeo is too chaotic again, will we send a large army to protect you and quell the civil strife for you? In other words, not only will it cost a lot, but it will also suffer greater losses at that time, Goguryeo, not us?"

After hearing such rude words, Park Zicheng was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak, but he just gasped. Tan Daozhen glanced at Park Zicheng and whispered: "What Gu Sima said just now was that the Tang Dynasty garrison in Goguryeo was a time limit. Once there was peace in our country, the army would withdraw, right?"

"That's about it!" Gu Han nodded repeatedly: "Do you think our Tang sergeants are not homesick? Are you willing to stay in such remote and cramped places without reuniting with your family? Of course, as long as Goguryeo is up to peace, the army will retreat."

"If this is the case, it is not impossible to consider, but I think neither Doctor Park nor Doctor will take charge of this matter. They need to go back and report to the lord and the prime minister." Tan Daojidao.

"It's all right." Seeing that the other party let go, Gu Han immediately changed into a smile, "Since both sides have this intention, let's talk about the location of the garrison. It's better for the two to report together."

"I wonder what Sima Gu likes?" Park Zicheng took a deep breath. The size of both sides was too disproportionate, and at this time, the king of the country was in danger. If something happened and the king of the country was gone, the Tang Dynasty could naturally enthrone another king. It is very likely that it was the current prime minister Tan Daoji, so there was no room for cleaning up.

After all, the current king Li Zaidao was officially enthroned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Only then did he realize that what Gu Han said first was a trick to tie him up firmly.

"The capital of Goguryeo Seoul is the army's garrison. At that time, your country needs to enclose a piece of land. As for the cost of building a military camp, considering that Goguryeo is now financially difficult, even if Zhang Zhongwu is expelled, we may not be able to recover in a short time. We will pay the money ourselves." Gu Han said very proudly.

However, the two envoys are paying attention to another thing.

"What Gu Sima just said was an army. Could it be that the navy must also enter?" Park Zicheng asked loudly.

"Of course!" Gu Han looked at it for granted: "Does Goguryeo still have a naval commander now? No! You may be even less powerful in the safety of the water. Although your land commander is a little less combative now, there is no problem dealing with ordinary thieves. But you will be completely blank on the water. If our navy hadn't been swimming around the Goguryeo Sea, those pirates and Japanese crowns would have been ashore long ago, right? We have already decided to build a port in Incheon, and our navy will be stationed there to ensure the safety of Goguryeo's maritime security. Don't worry, we will pay for the cost of building a port. When the sea is truly safe, our navy will naturally withdraw. You can still get a port for free, right? Such a good thing and such grace, you really thank us Lee Sang for your generosity and grandeur."

This time, even Tan Daozhen was so angry that her face turned pale.

However, since the Land Division has been allowed to settle in, an additional navy is just that there will be too many lice and no worries if there are too many debts. The only hope is that the country can be settled as soon as possible, and the other party can also ask the other party to withdraw its troops.

"There is another thing that you must know." Gu Han said: "We stationed troops in your country for the security and stability of your country and for the stability of your country's rule. Considering your country's financial difficulties, we have paid all the costs of building ports and military camps by ourselves. No matter what, it is appropriate to be a mother to pay for her son's money. But as a son, we can't always rely on her parents, don't you think? So in the past two years, we paid the military expenses by ourselves. But from the third year, we have to bear this military expenses. We can't let us work hard and pay for it again, right?"

Park Zicheng looked at Gu Han who was shameless and contented, and after a while, he asked: "I heard that Gu Sima studied at Wuwei Academy and is Zhang Jiao's personal disciple?"

"That's right! Gu will never forget the teacher's words and deeds!" Gu Han quickly turned around and hugged his fists in Wuyi.

Park Zicheng was completely speechless, and Tan Daozhen lowered her head and clenched her fists.

It’s a pity that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

"What else does Li Xiang have to ask for? Gu Sima said it together?" Park Zicheng took a breath, took another breath, calmed himself down, and said to himself in his heart, don't be angry, don't be angry. The current situation is difficult, and after surviving this most difficult period, everything can always be discussed.

"When we expel Zhang Zhongwu and recover Liao territory, we will of course help Goguryeo restore the economy." Gu Han smiled and said: "So Li Xiang proposed to encourage both sides to engage in large-scale commercial exchanges. Both sides do not impose tariffs from each other. The people of the two countries can freely trade and do business. The state-owned money houses of the Tang Dynasty will provide Goguryeo with a large amount of interest-free or interest-free loans to help Goguryeo quickly restore the economy and develop people's livelihood."

Park Zicheng nodded and finally heard something that was substantial to Goguryeo. It can be imagined that after driving Zhang Zhongwu away, what Goguryeo lacked the most was silver, a large amount of silver and a large amount of supplies. If Goguryeo wanted to sell Goguryeo to the Tang Dynasty, if there was no tariff, you could sell more things and make more money back. If the people of the two countries could do business freely, then Goguryeo's merchants could go directly to the Tang Dynasty to get back more supplies needed by Goguryeo, so as not to let those unscrupulous merchants of the Tang Dynasty deliberately raise prices and make huge profits.

"Li Xiang said that we should cultivate feelings between both parties, so the Wuwei Academy of the Tang Dynasty will give Goguryeo a hundred places without examinations every year. You must also know the name of our Wuwei Academy. By then, these people can become pillars of your country after they have learned it. Well, if they want to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, they will be treated equally." Gu Han smiled.

"That's true, thank you." Park Zicheng finally bowed his hand this time and expressed his gratitude. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to get into Wuwei Academy. If he really took the exam, he was afraid that one or two people in Goguryeo could get into the country. What he taught there was a method of governing the world through the country. Wherever a large number of Goguryeo talents entered, and returning to their country after all, would naturally be of great help to their country. Even if these people stayed in the Tang Dynasty as officials in the future, their hometown was Goguryeo after all, which would be of great help to the friendship between the two countries.

"These are all big frameworks. But with a big framework, it will be much easier to go into details in the future. If the general direction is set, the rest will be some branches and branches, which is easy to solve. It is just a problem of method." Gu Han did not think that this time the lion opened his mouth so easily and achieved the goal, and he was naturally happy. However, from this detail, it can be seen that the other party is really a bit of a dead end.

This is great. If it weren't for this, how could we seek greater benefits for the Tang Dynasty?
