Section 169 Falling Son (4)

Yan Changwu left Phi Dao, and the fleet sailed for Korea.

At that time, Joseon was under the reign of the Yi Dynasty, and the current king was Yi Liang (1595-1649), the 16th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty (reigned 1623-1649), the character and Bo, and the name Songyao (after the death of the temple name Injo, the name of the Xianwen Yeol Wu Ming Su Chunxiao King (the Qing Dynasty gave the Zhuang Mu King), and was buried in the Jiaohe Changling). During his reign, there was a rebellion and Joseon was invaded by the Later Jin.

In the first year of the Qing Dynasty (1627), Huang Taiji and Bel Amin personally led the troops to invade Korea, known as the Ding Mao Rebellion, the Korean army was defeated by the Qing soldiers, Injo and the ministers fled to Ganghwa Island, and as a result, Korea negotiated peace with the Qing Dynasty, about a brotherly state, and Korea paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

……

Now North Korea is helpless, and the government and the opposition are not willing to cling to the Jianzhou savages, but the knives are sharp!

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty, the boss of North Korea, was unable to protect North Korea, and it was difficult to be the smallest of the two.

Ganghwa Island, North Korea.

The island's strategic location leads to the Han River, which leads to the national capital of Seoul (Seoul), where successive Korean royal families have fled in the event of invasion or mutiny.

Shoudao general Park Zhengmao drank tea in the official residence in the city, as a senior military general, his life has been sinicized, the upper class uses Chinese characters, drinking tea is a habit, and the furniture decoration arranged in the place is also similar to the Han system.

It is no wonder that North Korea is not convinced by the Jianzhou savages at all, even if the Ming Dynasty fell to the country, North Korea openly used the Qing Dynasty era name to prevaricate, and the Ming Dynasty "Hou Chongzhen" era name has been used internally until the beginning of the twentieth century!

"Report!" The sergeant rushed straight in, which should be an emergency military situation.

"What's the matter?" Park asked unhappily.

"Seven red-haired plywood boats were found! There are four gunboats! The sergeant reported that he used Korean (that is, the language given to small civilians in the Zhengyin of Xunmin, only high-class North Koreans communicate in Chinese, and whether you are a superior person depends on whether you can speak Chinese)

"What?!" Park Zhengmao exclaimed, Huo Ran stood up, brought down the tea set on the table, fortunately spread the Persian carpet sent by the merchants on the ground, otherwise those precious Chinese tea sets would be broken, and the soldiers would be beheaded.

The name of the red-haired fan, the Ming people called those Western devils like this, and the Koreans also called them together.

This Park Zhengmao is a general who has become an important coastal defense officer, and he has also seen the world, and the cannons of Hongmaofan are powerful, and there are four gunboats, at least more than 100 artillery pieces, which is not trivial, and the defense of Ganghwa Island can be bombarded by artillery.

Seeing the general in a hurry, the sergeant hurriedly added: "But the ship is wearing the banner of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Park Zhengmao breathed a sigh of relief and slapped the sergeant in the face: "Why don't you say it earlier!" ”

The sergeant covered his face, in fact, he was not wrong, but unfortunately he didn't finish it in time, and he was slapped as a result!

……

Park Jung-mao greeted Akito on the dock, and he muttered in his heart, how is there something wrong with these arriving Akito!

They don't wear Ming Dynasty military uniforms, nor are they Ming people's clothes, all of them are inch-headed, but their uniforms are very beautiful, and their people are also very spiritual.

And they were armed with iron rods with knives...... Park Jung-mao was shocked: This is the flintlock pistol of the red-haired fan!

As a front-line senior official, Park Jung-mao has a bit of insight.

Then there are their gunboats, which are indeed red-haired artillery, and there is no doubt that the cannon doors are open, and the muzzles of the guns are forested, which is really terrifying!

No matter when Yan Changwu went to Tianjin Wei, Ningyuan City, and Dongjiang Town, he never let the gunboats open their gun doors, did not let everyone see his artillery, and did not invite people to visit him.

Otherwise, it is not necessarily a good thing for others to see his roughness.

But North Korea, which is used to bully small countries and widows, frightened Park Zhengmao a lot.

Obediently, how come the Akito have so many gunboats!

finally stabilized his position and put his mind at ease, because Yan Changwu showed the three general seals of the Ming Dynasty, and after Park Zhengmao saw it, he was sure that it was a Ming official.

Ordinary people would not dare to fake the seals of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty like this.

Or, people with such powerful gunboats also disdain to forge the seals of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Having these three seals is indeed beneficial, and there is no disadvantage, and everyone believes in you.

Park Zhengmao was one step behind Yan Changwu, and cautiously asked in Chinese, "Why did the adults come?" ”

"The first is business, and the second is to ask you to send someone in charge to talk to me!" Yan Changwu strolled around the dock casually, swaggering as his own place, and Park Zhengmao not only didn't dare to say a word, but also worked hard to deliver the news for him.

In addition to Yan Changwu's personality charm, he was also very generous, and gave Park Zhengmao: a barrel of rum, ten packets (1 catty/bag) of milk candy, a catty of fine tea and ten catties of venison jerky.

"The things of the kingdom are good!" Park Jung-mao chewed the milk candy, sweet to the heart.

"The officials of the kingdom are not bad!" He was not reprimanded.

……

Seoul, Changdeokgung Palace.

The building here imitates the palace of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the momentum is far inferior, similar to the shrunken version of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, but it is commendable for the small country and widowed North Korea.

The harem has giant trees, pavilions and ponds, which are connected with nature and are very harmonious.

The king of Joseon, Injo (number) Yi Liang, was watching fish by the pond and listening to the urgent report of the courtier Nai Park Jung-mo, with four ministers on his side, namely Yi Gui, Kim Jin, Kim Zi Dian and Hong Yi Han.

When the report was over, Li Liang's hand holding the bait couldn't be put down.

He was only in his thirties, a very young man, but his brow was furrowed, and he was obviously very worried.

And his ministers weren't necessarily very happy either!

Surrender to the barbarians like a poisonous snake eating their hearts!

The invasion of the Later Jin forced them to betray the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, and covenanted the country of brothers.

Brother of dog P, pull it down! Houjin continued to extort goods, which made them hate.

and powerless to resist, even the suzerainty can't defeat Houjin, what can they do!

Previously, he could be an ostrich (with his head stuck in the sand and his butt outward), but because he did not come into contact with the Ming Dynasty, he had to get by.

But the Ming Dynasty gunboat door, then it can't be taken lightly.

Park Zhengmao gave a detailed account of how many artillery pieces the other side had, and pointed out that these were the gunboats of the Ming Taiwei, and that the other side also had thicker, larger, and more gunboats (collectively called coarse), and according to the Korean merchants, the Japanese state in the east had signed a treaty of friendship with the Taiwei.

Li Liang was stunned, he didn't expect Mingren to have such a powerful power!

He and his ministers had a headache, what if the Ming people asked for the guilt?

In the upper echelons of North Korea, 90 percent of the forces are biased towards the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining 10 percent of the forces are not biased towards the Later Jin, but for fear that they will not be able to defeat the Later Jin.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the young bachelor Hong Yihan said: "They didn't have a national letter to come, but an official from Yiwei came to our country!" ”

"So what, they have cannons!" Li Gui, an important minister, reprimanded.

Hong Yihan argued with him: "They didn't shoot!" And their gunboats did not enter the Han River! ”

They were proficient in the Chinese language, and the Xunmin Zhengyin, who communicated with the inferior Koreans, was not used at all.

The important minister Jin Jin proposed: "The king can choose one of his ministers to go to Ganghwa Island and ask them what they mean, how about it?" ”

Li Qi said sullenly: "That's it!" He looked at Hong Yihan and said, "Hong Qing can go." ”

Hong Yihan said angrily: "The minister is willing to go!" ”

……

Hong Yihan rushed to Ganghwa Island, and Yan Changwu had a cordial and friendly conversation with him, which moved the North Korean to tears, and he couldn't stop saying: "The demeanor of the country is also a model for my generation!" ”
