Chapter 183, arriving in Incheon, North Korea

Go back to eight days ago.

In the Yellow Sea, a fleet is moving eastward on the sea, the scale of this fleet is not large, only five ships, but each ship is the largest Fu ship, the draft is quite deep, and the flag of the Ming Dynasty is hoisted on it.

The five ships were lined up, only a few hundred meters apart from each other, and the first one of them was written with white dye on it, "Kunlun".

On this big ship, Du Mingen was looking straight ahead with a telescope, through which he could already see the huge outline of the land, and the whole person couldn't help but smile.

"Sure enough, as calculated, it's finally going to be North Korea."

Du Mingen put down the telescope in his hand and sighed slightly.

Starting from Tianjin, sailing out of the Bohai Sea and sailing in the Yellow Sea, we are finally about to arrive in Korea, and we have been sailing on the sea for six days.

Six days is not a long time, but if you are above the sea, this day becomes extremely long, although the lucky ship is big, but in fact it is so big, it can be completed in a few minutes.

Life on the ship is very boring, there is no entertainment project, and it is bumpy all the time, it is better not to be seasick, and it is better to be seasick.

Luckily, Du Mingen doesn't get seasick, so he's in good spirits these days.

Last year, on the Moon Tower, he discussed with Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin about going to the Golden Continent together, but Du Mingen had already made up his mind that he would go to the Golden Continent in person.

So during this time, he also studied at the Maritime Academy, eating and living with other students, and learning the skills of sailing on the ocean.

This time he went to North Korea, naturally he couldn't miss it, so he became the leader of this fleet, with a large number of Ming goods ready to go to North Korea to do business, of course, the most important thing is to train his team.

"Brothers, I'm going to North Korea soon, after I get to North Korea, I'll charter a Fengyue Tower for you, everyone relax."

Du Mingen withdrew his gaze, looked at the somewhat listless sailors on the deck, and said loudly with a smile.

"Haha~ Okay!"

"It's amazing~"

"The boss is mighty and domineering~"

When the sailors on the ship heard this, they couldn't help but cry out with joy.

These people are all young men, as students of the Maritime Academy, there must be no food, this energy is very abundant, and now they have been sailing on the ship for six days, and they are already howling hungry wolves.

"Haha~"

Du Mingen saw everyone's excitement, and immediately laughed happily.

The five ships slowly sailed in the direction of landing, between the sea and the sky, the vast land continued to enlarge in the field of vision, gradually covering the entire field of vision, and a small port could be seen faintly.

Incheon, North Korea, a famous port in later generations, is now just a very, very small fishing port, it is the mouth of the Han River in North Korea, basically there are no foreign ships, are some small boats, small boats used to fish.

"Boat~ What a big ship!"

Someone spotted five big ships heading towards Incheon Port, and when they saw the figure of the five behemoths on the ocean, the North Koreans on this side of Incheon Port were very frightened.

Such large ships are very, very rare, and the boats of the North Koreans are generally very small, small fishing boats used to catch fish, and they are like toys compared to the five huge boats in the ocean.

Soon, the North Korean officials here in Incheon Port were alarmed and hurried over.

The port of Incheon is only 40 kilometers away from Seoul, the capital of North Korea, so close that you can even go directly to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, along the Han River.

Therefore, for the port of Incheon, the Lee dynasty of North Korea also attaches great importance to it, and set up Incheon County here, which specifically governs the area around the port of Incheon.

"This is the lucky ship of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Kim Jong Suk arrived, the five ships led by Du Mingen were already so close that they could see clearly even without binoculars.

Kim Jong Suk recognized this ship at a glance as the lucky ship of the Ming Dynasty, such a huge ship can only be made by the Ming Dynasty, and he naturally recognized the Ming flag flying on the ship.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has always been dominated by the Ming Dynasty, and from time to time it will send people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the King of Korea also needs the Ming Emperor to canonize and seal when he ascends the throne.

Successive Korean rulers were all appointed as kings of Joseon according to the rules, and they could only call themselves lonely and widowed, and could not call themselves me, and could only be called the king or His Royal Highness by the ministers, and could not be called the emperor or majesty, otherwise they would be arrogated.

For the Ming Dynasty, the North Koreans are very familiar with it, especially officials like Kim Jong Suk, who are not only very familiar with the Ming Dynasty, but also speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and even be Confucian themselves.

In this era, the influence of the Ming Dynasty is incomparable, and it has a huge influence on various regions around the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea is the most heartfelt little brother of the Ming Dynasty, which has not changed until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"Prepare for the angels of the kingdom!"

Five Daifuku ships, and flying the banner of the Ming Dynasty, Kim Jong Suk did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to prepare for the work.

Soon, a small boat rowed to Du Min-en's five boats, asked about the intentions, and then acted as a pilot and carefully entered the port of Incheon with the five Daefuku boats.

"Kim Jong Suk, the county commander of Incheon County, North Korea, greets the envoy of the country!"

The "Kunlun" slowly docked in the port of Incheon, and as soon as Du Mingen stepped on the land of North Korea, Kim Jong Suk took his own people to bow down to Du Mingen and others.

"Lord Kim doesn't have to be polite."

Seeing the North Koreans kneeling down in front of him, he was still a county order in North Korea, and the official uniforms he wore were still similar to the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, all of them liked red, embroidered birds and animals, and even the hats were similar to the hats of the Ming officials.

He Du Mingen is a businessman, and his status in Daming is not high, and it was impossible for an official to kneel to him before, he knelt down to an official, and now when he saw Jin Zhongshuo and others kneeling in front of him, a sense of pride suddenly arose.

Looking into the distance, as Kim Jong Suk and others knelt down, these North Koreans in the distance also knelt down with Qi Shushuo, not daring to have the slightest disrespect, and the entire Incheon port was extremely quiet.
