Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty will personally visit the Joseon King Jing Hancheng to preside over the Yihai Enke palace test, this news is the Ming missionary Huang Daozhou personally told the Korean king Ayayang Jun Li Liang, naturally not fake news, for a while the entire Korean court was shocked, the Ming Emperor came to the vassal country This is a major event in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, in the more than 2,000 years of history of North Korea, there has been no emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, what kind of etiquette should be used, this is the most important question.

To say that although the Joseon Dynasty did not actually regard itself as a part of the Ming Dynasty, but the surface article is still very good, after more than a hundred years of the Joseon Dynasty's great doctrine is very complete in form, for example, when the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to canonize envoys, hanging envoys and other envoys to arrive in Seoul, the capital of the Joseon king, the king of the Joseon Dynasty must personally go to the western suburbs to welcome the Eunmen and hold a grand "Ying" ceremony. But that's the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, not His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so His Majesty the Ming Emperor is coming, and the King of Korea doesn't say that he will start to greet him from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but at least go to the border of the vassal country to greet him.

Fortunately, Huang Daozhou told them that the emperor came by boat, and he just went to Incheon Port to greet him, otherwise this ice and snow, from Seoul to the border of Liaodong, he was afraid to walk for a month, and this Incheon Port would be different, and it would be forty or fifty miles to walk slowly for one or two hours.

As for etiquette, how high should it be? For this reason, Ayayang Jun Li Liang convened the ministers to discuss for a few days without a result, and they even proposed to roll the red carpet from Incheon Port all the way to Seoul Ying'en Gate to show grandeur, this Huang Daozhou did not dare to agree, just kidding, it was forty or fifty miles, it was such a waste of use, besides, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chariot, and you can't step on it if you pave him.

Fortunately, on the issue of etiquette, the Ming court then sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to convey the emperor's intentions, just follow the etiquette of ordinary local officials to welcome them, not too special, the main thing is to prepare the place for the palace test and the place where the emperor stays. When Li Liang heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, the place was easy to manage, although there were still many small palaces in North Korea, he immediately gave up the main palace Changdeok Palace, and ordered someone to clean it spotlessly, just waiting for the emperor to come, and he himself moved to the palace Changqing Palace.

The vassal country of North Korea is preparing to welcome the holy driver, so where is Zhu Cijiong's holy driver? He is trying to ride his new flagship Sun Moon super battleship in Dongdaying, the feeling of the more than 100-meter-long ship is different, the three-story space is 20,000 square meters, and the more than 1,000 people are very empty, and because of the huge hull on the sea, it is almost as flat as walking on the sea, not to mention how cool it feels.

Originally, he just wanted to come up and sit and sit on it, mainly to let his accompanying Jinyi guards and the sailors' selected ship masters practice the operation of the battleship, and the Jinyi guards around him let them practice firing guns and they could get started quickly, but let them learn the control of the sailboat, it would not be a month or two to practice, so he specially transferred dozens of ship masters from the sailor to control the Sun and Moon, preparing them to hone for a few days to cooperate, but he didn't want to go down when he came up, and he didn't feel like it was fun to just drive the boat. He also wants to direct artillery firing!

This can make Huang Long and Shi Kefa very busy, just hit the cannonball in the water or hit it on the beach, it can't see any effect, you have to hit the deck of the battleship to see the actual effect, of course, it is impossible to really let the emperor bombard their battleship, fortunately, the deck of the battleship in the Dongda Construction Shipyard is very prepared, just build some simple models directly on the beach, the effect is the same.

This eight-inch howitzer is really terrifying, a few fingers thick battleship deck will be blasted through as soon as it goes down, if several shells hit at the same time, it can be smashed directly, Zhu Cijiong commanded that is called a good thing, for a while the bow of the six guns fired at once, for a while the stern of the six guns fired together, for a while the bow and stern twelve huge guns were fired together, and the sea outside the east camp rumbled for a few days before it ended.

It's not that Zhu Cijiong has had enough, but the day of departure has come, and it will take at least three days to sail from Dongdaying Tianjin New Port to Incheon Port at the speed of a sailboat, and the North Korean Ehai Enko Palace Test will be held on March 15, so Zhu Cijiong will set off on March 9.

Although this time it was not to fight, but Zhu Cijiong still brought a lot of men and horses in order to deter the subject country, the Beiyang Naval Division was fully dispatched, and it was all super battleships and Daifuku ships, although the fifty super battleships captured from the Netherlands were not fully equipped with artillery, the scene was still enough, so the super battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division reached a full hundred, plus five hundred Daifuku ships, and a full 600 large ships tens of meters long guarding the Sun and Moon more than 100 meters long, the scene was even more terrifying than the aircraft carrier formation of the United States.

As for the army, he only brought 50,000 elites from the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard this time, but he brought 20,000 Jinyi Guard!

After three days at sea, the huge fleet finally arrived at Incheon Port on the morning of March 12, when the entire port of Incheon had been tightly surrounded by 100,000 Guanning troops, and the ships in the port were also ordered to sail elsewhere.

These are all confessed by Zhu Cijiong, and he asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to tell the Joseon Renzu Li Liang that the emperor loves to be lively, and the more people come to greet him, the happier he is. In fact, he just wants North Korean officials and people to see how powerful the Ming is.

In order to give full play to the deterrent effect, Zhu Cijiong deliberately arranged the Beiyang Naval Division fleet into six rows, with 100 ships in each row, with the battleships in the front, the Sun and Moon in the center, and the Dafu ships in the back, the width of the entire fleet reached a terrifying 20 miles, and the thickness was also four or five miles, giving people the feeling that they couldn't see the head even if they looked horizontally, and they couldn't see the head even if they looked at it vertically!

When the North Korean officials in the port and the people on both sides of the strait saw the huge fleet, they were all stunned, how many warships, so many warships, so many cannons, not to mention that they had seen it, they never thought that the Ming Dynasty would be so powerful!

Even Ayayangjun Li Liang was frightened when he saw such a huge fleet, and he didn't come back to his senses until the huge hull of the Sun Moon covered the sky and sea in front of him, but when he looked up at the Sun and Moon, his shocked eyes were about to fall out, such a huge warship, so many artillery, all the large and small warships in his entire North Korea combined were not enough for this battleship to hit a few times!

This Sun and Moon is not only big, as the emperor's car can be loaded with a lot of good things, even the hoist for hoisting the cannon barrel is equipped with several, when the huge escalator is hung down, not to mention the North Korean officials, even Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong, Huang Daozhou were shocked, such a big escalator has to be heavy, it seems that a few people can easily hang down, it is incomprehensible.

After the escalator was erected, the first to come down were two rows of brocade guards, I am afraid that there would be two or three hundred people, and then two rows of eunuchs, I am afraid that there were also two or three hundred people, and then two rows of palace maids carried the long red carpet and slowly rolled it down, and finally, Cao Huachun stood at the mouth of the escalator and screamed: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The Korean civil and military officials on the wharf, the military general Hongru of the Ming Dynasty, and the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army around them knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted in unison: "Weichen greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Cijiong's figure appeared at the mouth of the escalator, he was almost thirteen years old, maybe his nutrition was too good, maybe his mind was 'mature' early, in the past year, he grew up like a green onion on dry land, at this time his height has reached more than one meter six, and he is no longer a child, he fully has the majesty of an emperor.

He slowly walked down the escalator to the front of the officials, and then said loudly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

Everyone immediately said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Only then did he slowly get up from the ground.

After Huang Daozhou got up, he respectfully walked up to Zhu Cijiong, and introduced Li Liang with his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the king of North Korea, Ayayangjun Li Liang." ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded slightly, and was about to say something, but Li Liang, the Ayayang Jun, suddenly knelt on the ground again and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen was confused for a while, listened to slander, did not break away from Houjin in time, returned to the Ming Dynasty, and asked the emperor to forgive him." ”

Now that he is in the stage of assimilation experiments, Zhu Cijiong naturally will not bother with him on this little thing, he pretended to be magnanimous and said: "Well, it's good to know that you can change your mistakes, get up." ”

Ayayangjun Li Liang got up with a thousand thanks, Zhu Cijiong began to ask about some of the circumstances of the Houjin invasion, and Ayayangjun Li Liang answered one by one.

When he heard that North Korea was defeated by the Golden Iron Cavalry after 30,000 led by Dabel Amin, he couldn't help but move in his heart, he pointed to the surrounding Guanning Army soldiers and said: "Li Aiqing, your training is a little poor, you see that my Guanning Army, when they fought with Jiannu under Shengjing City, they defeated the 100,000 iron cavalry led by Huang Taiji himself, and your whole country has more than 100,000 troops, and you were defeated by Amin with 30,000 iron cavalry, which is really a bit unreasonable." ”

Ayayang Jun Li Liang thought that Zhu Cijiong was looking for him, and the cold sweat of fright broke out, and he hurriedly explained: "How can Weichen's subordinate soldiers be compared with the Great Ming Xiongshi, it is not that Weichen is passively resisting, but Houjin is too fierce, and I ask the emperor to take a clear look." ”

Zhu Cijiong did not blame him for passive resistance, but wanted to take this opportunity to control the army of the subject country, he smiled when he heard this: "The matter is over, forget it, I will find a way to help you improve the combat strength of the army in the future, and you will be bullied all day long." ”

When Ayayang Jun Li Liang heard this, he thought that Zhu Cijiong was really thinking about him, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Zhu Cijiong smiled secretly in his heart, hum, I really think I will give you free training for the army, and the combat power of the army will be improved at that time, but I don't know if it is still under your control.
