On the Yongming Sea, several large ships are drifting, heading for a place in the west. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looking west from the deck, the land in the distance is getting closer and closer, and the pier is getting clearer and clearer.

In a short time, the lead ship was already docked at the dock, and the coolies at the dock immediately came over to unload the cargo.

However, the ship immediately raised the flag: the ship was not carrying goods. The coolies cursed and walked to the other ships carrying the goods.

After a while, several men in fine clothes stepped down from the ship, and a young man in a python robe asked, "Who are these coolies?" Looking lonely, it doesn't look like a Jurchen. ”

Several people looked at each other. They also just came to Vladivostok like Zhu Yunxi, and they were blind to the situation here, how could they possibly know? Xu Zengshou, the left minister, said: "Your Highness, we have just come here, and we are still waiting to see the right minister Li Qing and ask him after getting off the boat." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "It's lonely, you just came, how do you know." ”

Several people got off the boat, Zhu Yunxi ordered his guards to call Li Qing over, and he went out of the dock to walk around.

Vladivostok was the Yongming City of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, where the city was built during the Kublai Khan era as an important fulcrum for ruling the Northeast.

However, with the beacon fire of the Central Plains, the Mongols could not take care of it anymore, and the Mongols did not renovate the city from the thirteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng (1353 AD); After that, they were completely defeated, and it became the territory of the Jurchens again, and the bricks and stones used to repair the city were also used by the Jurchens to build houses, and the city fell into ruins.

But after all, there used to be a city here, and Zhu Yunxi could see the towering city wall from a short distance.

At the same time, Zhu Yunxi is also observing the people here. Those who were only wrapped in a leather coat and looked vicious were certainly not Han Chinese, most of them were Jurchens from all walks of life, and they could also be Koreans or others; But those who wear Han clothes are not necessarily Han Chinese.

But no matter who they were, they were all working seriously at this time, and a few people wearing the costumes of the generals of the Daming Guard were watching them with waist knives.

Zhu Yunxi was watching, and a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform ran over, saluted him and said, "The minister has seen His Royal Highness King Yong." ”

"Li Aiqing is exempt, get up." Zhu Yunxi said. "Lone has a few things to ask you."

"Your Highness, let's go into the city. Here, it's not a good place to talk. Li Qing said after standing up.

Zhu Yunxi looked at it, the words of Li Qing's visit just now had already been heard by them, and several guards and some coolies knelt down, which was really not suitable for talking.

Zhu Yunxi asked the kneeling people to stand up, said a few words to appease them, and then led the people to follow Li Qing to Vladivostok City.

At this time, ninety percent of the land in the city was vacant, and only the official offices, houses, and palaces built for the officials and criminals sent over had been built. However, when Zhu Yunxi walked into the palace built for him, he could see at a glance that the palace had only built the main body, not to mention painting, even the weeds in the courtyard had not been pulled out.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi will not blame, now that he is in the entrepreneurial stage, if Li Qing only renovates the palace for him, he should ask for a change of right minister.

After a few people sat down in the palace, Yun Xi took a sip of tea and said to Li Qing: "When Gu Gang got off the ship, he saw a lot of dock coolies, who are they? Looking lonely, it doesn't look like a Jurchen. ”

"Your Highness, they are indeed not Jurchens. These people are mainly Koreans, including some Fuso and prisoners who have been exiled from the country. Li Qing said.

"North Koreans? How can there be so many North Koreans? Zhu Yunxi asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, in fact, there are not many Koreans, but there are more than 2,000 people. As for why there are Koreans, it is because His Majesty has allocated a lot of money to us. Li Qing said with a smile.

"North Korea is a small country, and it has always been poor, and it would be good for a rich middle peasant family to have a few taels of silver in savings. But after His Majesty allocated us a lot of money and food, we could earn a hundred yuan a day as a coolie at our wharf, and three times a month, although we had to eat enough to eat when we were coolies, but the rest of the money was much better than being a farmer in Korea. ”

"That's why so many North Koreans have crossed the sea to come to us in the past few months. The county governor of northeastern Korea has already protested to his ministers, demanding that we send all the Koreans back. The Fuso people also crossed the sea for the same reason. ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, Zhu Yunxi also laughed. After a while, he said, "Don't pay attention to it, unless Zhu Fangyuan comes to talk to us in person." ”

"There is also the matter of demarcating the border with North Korea, but there is a quasi-letter?"

"Your Highness, the minister has placed more than 2,000 people at the mouth of the sea on the north bank of the Tumen River, and there are no Korean villages in the middle from the Tumen River to Vladivostok, so there is no problem with the Tumen River as the boundary." Li Qing said.

"Are there any Korean villages on the south bank of the Natumen River?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

"Your Highness, no." Li Qing replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to demarcate the border with the North Koreans for the time being. Wait until they have a village on the south bank of the Tumen River. At that time, I will make an appointment to meet Zhu Fangyuan in Tumen River. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Qing replied.

After saying this, Zhu Yunxi turned around and said to Chen Jue, who had been presiding over military affairs for a long time: "General Chen, it's been a hard work. ”

Chen Jue bowed down and said: "It is a blessing for the criminal to be able to serve the Ming Dynasty, how hard is it. "He was a member of the original Yan Army, and he was assigned here, so he spoke like this.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "No matter what, General Chen has a merit to my Eternal Domain, and Gu will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Chen Qi thanked him again, and then said: "Your Highness, since Lord Zuo Xiang has arrived, the minister will immediately hand over the affairs of the army to Lord Zuo Xiang." ”

Yun Xi was about to say this, but seeing that Chen Qi was quite acquainted with him, he brought it up by himself, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let Xu Zengshou hand over to you from tomorrow." However, Lone appointed you as a servant of the military hall to assist Xu Zengshou in taking charge of the army. ”

Chen Jue's heart was settled. The reason why he was willing to come out to do things before was that he didn't want to never come out for the rest of his life. And even if he doesn't care, the future of future generations must be taken into account. Therefore, he actively helped Li Qing manage the criminal army, and also commanded the criminal army to defeat the invading Jurchens, making a meritorious contribution.

Chen Jue knelt down and thanked him. But Li Qing suddenly said: "Your Highness, this military hall should be a civil official, ...... appoint a general?" ”

"Now there are only a few people in our Yongvan Kingdom, and what kind of civil and military are distinguished." Zhu Yunxi interrupted.

What he said also made sense, so Li Qing thought about it and still didn't use Wang Xiang's right to refute Zhu Yunxi's order.

After a few more discussions, Li Qing saw that Zhu Yunxi and they had just come by boat from Liaodong, and the journey was tiring, so they retreated; Zhu Yunxi did not stay.
