Volume 4 Chapter 151 King Gongxian
In Busan, the Gyeongsang Right Provincial Navy Festival Envoy Camp, the Korean King of Gongxian Li Hyun and a group of subordinate officials dressed in auspicious clothes, respectfully stood on the dock of the sailor.
He naturally received the letter sent by the Ming Dynasty, and he also hated the Japanese invaders, because the Japanese not only invaded the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, but also plundered the Korean coast more frequently, and the kings of the Joseon Dynasty were all given a headache.
Of course, even if he hated the Japanese Kou, it was impossible for him to organize a large army to conquer, because North Korea would not be able to do Dongying at all, if he dared to take the initiative to go to Dongying to conquer, the princes of Dongying would definitely take the opportunity to fight back and hit them in North Korea, which he knew quite well.
The reason why he led a group of subordinate officials to the Gyeongsang Right Provincial Navy Jie Du Envoy Camp was mainly to welcome the envoys of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, Taishi, Hui'an Hou, and Yang Cong, a cabinet scholar.
Taishi, that is the highest level of the Ming officials, although he is the king, in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, he is not even a vassal king, the vassal king is a royal clan, and he is a major official, and he is equivalent to a political envoy at most.
This time, Taishi Yang Cong personally led the army to come, and he didn't dare to stay in the palace and ignore it.
He had just finished noon and began to organize people to wait at the wharf, and for a whole afternoon, there was no trace of any ship on the sea, and all the subordinate officers, including the soldiers who stood guard around the wharf, secretly frowned at this, only he, who had been accompanying the officials who had been in contact with the Ming Army, stood there respectfully, without a trace of impatience.
In other words, is this guy sick in the brain, with hundreds of officials and thousands of soldiers standing here for an afternoon in vain, is it so idle that it hurts or what's wrong?
Actually, he didn't have any problems with his brain.
He is showing an attitude, an attitude of reverence to the Great Ming Taishi.
Of course, he knew that Denglai Water City was more than a thousand miles away from the camp of the Gyeongsang Right Naval Army, and even if the fleet of the Daming Naval Division set off early in the morning and had a smooth wind, it would not arrive at sunset at the earliest, and if the wind was not right, it would be good to arrive at night.
It stands to reason that even if he had dinner and then led the crowd to greet him, he just started to prepare from time to time, and he waited on the dock.
Others may have complained in their hearts, but the officials of the Daming Military Department who came to contact them were full of relief.
That's right, as the king of a vassal country, he doesn't have to care about the dissatisfaction of the officials under his command at all, the most important thing is that the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty are dissatisfied.
As the sun set, just as everyone's legs were numb, a dense black spot suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.
The fleet of the Daming Naval Division is finally here!
At this time, almost all of them showed excitement on their faces.
After all, they had been waiting all afternoon, and as soon as the envoy arrived tomorrow, they could go back to eat and rest with His Majesty the King and pretending to be polite.
However, when the fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division gradually approached, everyone's faces showed a look of shock, because the fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division was too terrifying.
The first Great Fortune Boat, they have not seen it, most of the important ministers of the court of the subject country of Korea have gone to the Ming Dynasty to further their studies, the Fortune Boat, they must have seen it.
Problem, they have only seen one or two at most, but this time, the lucky ships in the fleet of the Daming Sailor are densely packed, there are dozens of them!
A fortune ship is like a castle on the sea, and dozens of fortune ships are slowly pressed over in a neat formation.
It was like seeing a group of desolate beasts rushing towards it, and it was terrifying and couldn't move.
To be honest, Gongxian King Li Xun was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the Daming Water Master was already so powerful.
However, he is the lord of a country, and his heart is still a little higher than that of his officials, he was just stunned for a while, then turned around and shouted: "Tidy up your appearance and prepare to meet the heavenly envoy." ”
At this time, all the officials came back to their senses, and quickly pretended to tear their clothes and wave their sleeves to show that they were tidying up their appearance.
If it is an ordinary sailing ship, it will take at least half an hour from appearing on the periphery of the port to docking at the dock, because the sailboat must pay attention to controlling the speed, and after approaching the dock, it must lower the sail and slow down, otherwise it will not be able to stop the car and hit the dock directly.
This time, the fleet of the Daming Navy Division was unusual, and there was no intention of slowing down at all, so it rushed straight to the dock, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the fleet rushed to the dock.
At this time, the people on the dock saw clearly that the warships of the Daming Navy Division's fleet did not have any sails, and some were just countless water ships!
This water wheel is not surprising, the wheel is also in North Korea, and what the water wheel is for, everyone present also knows it.
It's just that they can't figure out how many people have to work together to move with so many water ships and such a large hull?
They were amazed, all the water wheels suddenly stopped, and then began to reverse, and the fleet of the Daming Sailors actually stopped in less than a stick of incense!
Immediately afterwards, a huge fortune ship came out of the crowd, quickly approached the dock, the suspension ladder hung down, and a group of Ming soldiers immediately poured down like flowing water.
Then, a young man in a red official robe led a group of Ming army generals down the ladder and strode towards them.
The embroidered crane on the official robe is a member of the Ming Dynasty!
Gongxian King Li Xiang took a look, hurriedly waved his hand and led his subordinate officials to greet him, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said loudly: "Li Xiang, the king of the domain, and his subordinate officials greet the envoy of the Heavenly Dynasty." ”
The other officials also lay on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the heavenly envoys." ”
Seeing this, Yang Cong hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "The prince is polite, everyone, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”
When Li Xian heard this, he got up from the ground and said: "The adult led the army to run thousands of miles, and it was hard all the way, Xiao Wang has prepared a thin wine in the camp of the Qingshang Right Dao Water Army, why don't you go with Xiao Wang to have a light meal and rest?" ”
Yang Cong also arched his hand again and again: "The prince has a heart, this is not in a hurry, I don't know if the camp where the army is stationed has been prepared?" ”
Li Xun hurriedly pointed to the open space behind the right side of the dock and said, "Xiao Wang has ordered someone to empty that side and level the ground, so it shouldn't be a problem to garrison 50,000 troops." ”
Yang Cong followed the direction of his finger and carefully examined it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "There is a prince Lao, please wait for the prince." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to Yu Dayou and Qi Jingdao behind him: "Zhifu, Shixian, you immediately command the army to go ashore and set up camp, all the foot soldiers will camp here, and all the officers and men of the sailor division will go ashore to rest for one night except for the personnel on duty on the ship, and then return to Denglai Water City tomorrow morning to pick up people." ”
When Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong heard this, they hurriedly arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general understands." ”
Immediately afterward, they began to direct their men to land.
Because the wharf of this Gyeongsang Right Province Military Port is too small, and it can dock two Fuchuan warships or four Cangshan ships at a time, the speed of the Ming army's landing is simply extremely slow.
However, the North Korean officials present were still frightened, because there were too many soldiers of the Ming army, and their equipment was even more terrifying.
This guy has dozens of Dafu ships, two or three hundred Cangshan ships, all of which are soldiers of the Ming army, and almost all of these people carry muskets on their backs, as well as countless chariots, and the cannons are constantly being carried down from the warships, which is simply dazzling and numb!
Yang Cong stood on the dock and supervised for a while, and exchanged a few words with the officials of the military department who arrived in advance, this time he arched his hand to Gongxian Wang Li Xun and said: "The prince is too polite, he actually waited here for an afternoon, presumably everyone is tired and hungry, otherwise, let's go eat?" ”
When Li Xun heard this, he couldn't help but show excitement, eating or something, it was all secondary, as long as the Heavenly Empire envoy knew that he led the crowd to wait here for an afternoon, it would be worth everything.
