Li Jie stood on the four boards of the bow of the boat, looking at the vast sea in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a very complicated emotion in his heart, and he also hummed his favorite song in his previous life:

"The sea is smiling, surging on both sides of the strait. The ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present day, the sky is smiling, and the tide is in the world. Who loses and who wins, God knows......"

is also floating in the sea, but unfortunately Li Jie can't do the kind of freedom in the song, from the beginning of the crossing to save his life, to now he is in the officialdom, he is calculating and fighting with people almost all the time, and even his marriage with Zhu Yuning is also full of calculations and interests, which is not in line with Li Jie's nature at all.

Sometimes Li Jie really wants to put aside everything now and laugh like in the song, but unfortunately this idea is only a flash, and he was quickly vetoed, after all, he has too many things to put down, and even if he really puts it down, some people force him to pick it up again.

In fact, Li Jie's current state is similar to that of office workers in later generations, that is, the "beating workers" jokingly called on the Internet in later generations, other people's bosses may only control the wages of workers, but Li Jie's boss is Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, he is in control of Li Jie's life, speaking of which Li Jie is much worse than ordinary workers.

"Li Banyu, further ahead is the Goryeo realm!" At this moment, Fang Guan came over and reported to Li Jieyu.

Li Jie also woke up from his contemplation when he heard this, and immediately looked forward, only to see that between the sea and the sky in the distance, some land could already be seen faintly.

Li Jie's fleet set off from Zhoushan, along the coastline of the Ming Dynasty all the way north, and finally turned east through Dengzhou, and finally reached the coast of Goryeo, which they only sailed in the coastal sea, because in this era, the sea navigation was a very dangerous thing, so most of the ships going to sea traveled on the coast.

"How long will it take to get to Kaesong?" Li Jie asked again.

Kaesong is also the capital of Goryeo, in fact, it is the later Joseon Kaesong, the 38th parallel and Panmunjom are near Kaesong, very close to the coast, it is said that there is also a port on the coast, which is specially used for communication between Kaesong and the outside world, so Kaesong is also a coastal city.

"It will arrive in about half a day!" Fang Guan replied again.

"Very good, stop at Ganghwa Island near Kaesong for a few days, and the Goryeo side has agreed to provide us with some supplies!" Li Jie nodded when he heard this, before the fleet set off, Jinyiwei had already made contact with Goryeo, to be precise, the Goryeo minister Li Chenggui, and the other party was willing to provide a lot of convenience in order to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty.

"My subordinates understand!" Fang Guan nodded immediately, and then discussed the matter of the fleet with Li Jie, and then retreated.

As soon as Fang Guan left, Jiang Zhen immediately stepped forward and said, "Li Banyu, people have been sent out!" ”

"Very good, how many days will you be able to get to Beiping?" Li Jie nodded first, and then asked again, Beiping is the Beijing of later generations, which was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, but it was renamed Beiping Mansion after being beaten down by Xu Da, and later Zhu Di moved the capital, which was renamed Beijing.

"The people sent to take a speedboat to cross the entire Bohai Sea to Tianjin Wei, and then from Tianjin Wei to Beiping, it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days!" Jiang Xuan thought for a while and replied, he was promoted from the bottom of Jinyiwei, and he had been to both the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, so he was also very familiar with these journeys.

"The timing was just right! Is there a sailor over there in Tianjin? Li Jie asked again.

"Yes, Tianjin Wei and Dengzhou are all garrisons of the Northern Naval Division, which is enough to transport a large number of troops!" Jiang Xuan replied again.

"This is a lot of trouble, I hope King Yan won't let me down!" Li Jie also smiled slightly when he heard this, if nothing else, he is likely to meet the legendary Zhu Di this time, and he will have to call the other party Uncle Wang.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Zhu Di is one of the more outstanding ones, but he doesn't have any intention of rebelling now, firstly, Lao Zhu is still alive, and secondly, his eldest brother Zhu Biao is also alive, and he does not dare to have the idea of rebellion if he kills Zhu Di.

Even if Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne later, if he hadn't forced it too far, Zhu Di would not have rebelled.

But look at the things Zhu Yunwen did after he ascended the throne, only one year after he ascended the throne, he cut off all five of his uncles, forcing the whole family of King Xiang to self-immolate.

At that time, Zhu Di was frightened and sent all his three sons to Nanjing to show that he had no intention of rebelling, but Zhu Yunwen did not intend to let Zhu Di go at all, it can be said that Zhu Di did not rebel at that time, but he died, so he was finally forced to raise troops, and he had no preparation in advance.

Even when Zhu Di rebelled, he was actually determined to die, because the troops in his hands were too small, and fighting the entire Ming Dynasty with Beiping was like hitting a stone with an egg, but history is so wonderful, Zhu Di won in the end, and the history of the Ming Dynasty also turned completely, and Zhu Di also became a legendary emperor.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie is also more looking forward to the upcoming meeting with Zhu Di, I don't know what kind of person this Chengzu Emperor is in history? Maybe he didn't have the courage to rebel, but as a prince, the person who became the emperor in history must have ambitions that ordinary people don't have, right?

The fleet continued to move forward, and after half a day, the land in front of it was clearly visible, and that was Ganghwa Island in Goryeo, which was very close to the land, and even the strait between it and the land was extremely narrow, like a river, because the water in the river was seawater, so it was called the Salt River by Goryeo.

Ganghwa Island is also just between Kaesong and the sea, originally the land on the island was barren, at first it was only Goryeo as a prisoner exile, but later with the prosperity of maritime trade, Ganghwa Island also set up a port for Kaesong and the outside world, so the island also slowly formed a prosperous county seat, the name is Ganghwa County.

Li Jie's fleet was too large, and they were discovered by the Goryeo before they got close to Ganghwa Island, and immediately the officials of the port came forward to inquire on the ship, and when they learned that it was the fleet from the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the sailor of the Ming Dynasty, the Goryeo people did not dare to slack off, and immediately invited them to enter the port and dock.

As soon as Li Jie's ship docked, another Goryeo official asked to see him, and it was estimated that Li Chenggui had already arranged it, so Li Jie immediately invited the other party to board the ship.

What surprised Li Jie was that the Goryeo officials who came were not very old, they looked to be about 20 years old, and their appearance was heroic and extraordinary, even in the face of Li Jie, they were neither humble nor arrogant.

"Li Fangyuan, the main man of the ceremony, pays a visit to the envoy of the Great Tomorrow!" I saw that the person who came saluted Li Jie, he didn't know Li Jie's identity, he only knew that Li Jie came on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

"You are also surnamed Li, who are you with Ning Jun?" Li Jie was also looking at the other party curiously at this time, and at the same time, he also felt that the name Li Fangyuan was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"He Ningjun is the father!" I saw Li Fangyuan reply that He Ningjun was Li Chenggui's title in Goryeo, and after he seized the military and political power in Goryeo, he added a long list of official positions and titles to himself, and this He Ningjun was just one of them.

Li Jie finally remembered when he heard this, this Li Fangyuan is Li Chenggui's son, and Li Fangyuan in history is quite awesome, the reason why Li Chenggui was able to create a court dynasty, Li Fangyuan made great contributions, and even when Li Chenggui was old, the power fell into the hands of Li Fangyuan, in order to seize the throne, Li Fangyuan launched two coups, and even Li Chenggui's son was killed by him, Li Chenggui also became a puppet in his hands, and finally Li Fangyuan won the throne and became the third king of North Korea.

"It turned out to be the son of He Ningjun, please take a seat!" After learning the identity of the other party, Li Jie finally showed a little smile and asked the other party to sit down.

Li Fangyuan gave in a few times, and finally sat opposite Li Jie, and then saw Li Jie say again: "Ling Zun sent you here, but what did you say?" ”

"Father didn't say anything, just said that a Ming fleet was coming, so I mobilized a batch of supplies to obey orders in the port!" Li Fangyuan replied honestly.

"Blame me, blame me, I didn't make it clear to He Ningjun beforehand, in fact, in addition to supplies, I have another important matter to discuss with He Ningjun, I don't know if Li Ceremony can go back, please come and discuss with Ning Jun in person!" Li Jie smiled again.

"Need my father to come in person?" Li Fangyuan was shocked when he heard this, although his father held great power, there were still many people who opposed their father and son in Goryeo, so Li Chenggui also stayed in Kaesong all the year round, and did not dare to leave half a step, even if Ganghwa Island was very close to Kaesong, but it would take two days to come and go, and if it was known by others, it was likely that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Thinking of the above, Li Fangyuan hesitated for a moment and said again: "I don't know what kind of thing it is?" My father trusts me a lot, and I can help him with some things, and if it's not a particularly important matter, I can also make decisions for him! ”

When Li Jie heard this, he looked at Li Fangyuan, as if he was weighing the other party's weight, and after a while, he said again: "Li Ceremony, do you know what the purpose of our fleet is?" ”

"This ...... Ignorance! Li Fangyuan hesitated and shook his head, in fact, he was also shocked when he saw such a huge fleet of Daming, although their father and son were friendly with Daming, but in the face of such a behemoth as Daming, they still held twelve points of vigilance.

"Originally, our trip was a military secret, but it doesn't hurt to tell you father and son, in fact, we are here for the sake of the Japanese Invaders!" Li Jie said slowly.

"Wolver!" Li Fangyuan also stood up in shock when he heard this, compared to the Ming Dynasty, they were the first target of the Japanese invaders, especially in the southern part of Goryeo, and they were even more deeply affected by the Japanese invaders, but unfortunately their country was small and weak, and they were unable to deal with the raid of the Japanese invaders.

"Yes, just a few months ago, we have cleared the Ming coastal area of the Japanese Invaders, this expedition is to completely solve the root cause of the Japanese Invaders, that is, the Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom, but if you want to take down here, you need the assistance of Goryeo!" Li Jie smiled again at the end, but no one knew that behind this smile, there was an infinite killing intention.
