When the fog on the sea in Incheon-gun, the Kingdom of Korea, had just lifted, about 11 large ships approached the land, and the first few small boats were leading these large ships to go ashore, and several officials and subordinates on the shore were waiting for the ships to dock.

Our Wang Wenle Qincha found out the holy decree of anti-smuggling, extermination, and trade from the pile of holy decrees, and after changing into the official uniform of the three-grade costumes, he led Zhao Gang and other subordinates to wait for the ship to dock.

Led by Zheng Zhong, a team of personal soldiers quickly disembarked after putting down the plank, lined up in two rows, and at the same time blew the horn, and he took the lead in disembarking with the holy decree in his hand.

The leader hurriedly led the crowd to greet him, and the lower official Incheon County Guard Xu Dazhong did not know that the angel was far away to welcome and ask for forgiveness.

The county guard doesn't have to be like this, it was the official who received His Majesty's will and came in the starry night, and it was too late to inform your country in advance, so we don't need to be polite if we understand each other.

After Xu Dazhong finished introducing a group of people, he read out the holy decree, and then asked Xu Dazhong to copy a copy to verify that it was correct, and he said to Xu Dazhong, this time Ben Qin sent to come with a heavy responsibility, so how about the county guard and Ben Qin send to visit your king first?

As it should be, then ask the angel to set off here.

He instructed Zhao Gang to restrain his subordinates to take turns to land, but not to disturb the people, and pay attention to the vigilance of the Japanese or pirates, in case of those who do not listen to the dissuasion, they must not be sunk without recklessness, so he led Zheng Zhong and a small team of personal soldiers to prepare to leave, and then what gave him a headache was that Ying'er changed into civilian clothes and wanted to go with him, Qi'er and Meng'er also had to join in the fun, he explained to them that he went to meet the king of the people and came back immediately to come back and there was no time to stay, but he rode horses and ate soil on the road back and forth, and he had time to have a good time when he came again next time.

As a result, Qi'er and Meng'er both understood and dispelled their thoughts, and Ying'er had to go, even if she ate soil, she had no choice but to take her on the road. Incheon is not rich at this time, horses are still requisitioned, here is currently only a fishing village, are forbidden sea national policy, the coast is full of fishing villages to live by fishing, Incheon is less than 100 miles away from Seoul, the group soon arrived in the capital, but the king is not casually seen, first go to the post house to entertain foreign envoys to rest, waiting for the notice to meet.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, of course, the Joseon Kingdom did not dare to slack off, King Sejong Li Yi and Licao Judge Cui Taihua gave priority to meet him, and after reading Zhu Di's holy decree, the two sides sat down, and King Sejong asked him with a smile what he was going to do.

He replied that in order to eliminate the Japanese and pirates in the waters between the Ming Dynasty and Korea, he was going to build a small military port and warehouse in Incheon, where the Ming would station about 5,000 soldiers all year round, and at the same time, in order not to increase the burden of raising troops on both sides, the Ming bartered about ten ships with Korea every month, and the proceeds were used for the daily expenses of the army and the supply of the fleet. The DPRK only had to provide a piece of land and grant the Ming tax exemption, and he assured that the soldiers would not disturb the people, and that the requisitioned local men would be paid according to the Korean standard of cloth or rice grain or silver.

The reason for choosing this location in Incheon was that it was close to Seoul and convenient for trade, otherwise it would be inconvenient for cargo ships to arrive in North Korea and then transfer them by land.

King Sejong asked: What kind of goods are the main ones to trade?

North Korea mainly provides ginseng, fur, Andong soju, paper, ramie, cattle, etc.; The Ming Dynasty provides silk, cotton, porcelain, tea, medicinal herbs, books, calligraphy and paintings, liquor, fermented bean curd, bean paste, etc. All of the above are common civilian trade goods, and the purchase of military rations does not need to be counted among them, of course, some special goods need to be approved by both sides before they can be traded.

King Sejong nodded and asked the angel to go back and rest first, and then inform the angel after discussing with the ministers.

At this time, it was getting late, Cui Taihua prepared a grand welcome dinner to entertain him, according to the subordination relationship between the Celestial Empire and the vassal states, North Korea had to send a second-grade judgment to meet the reciprocal standard, and before that, the Ming Dynasty had always sent eunuchs to lead the mission, which made them quite unhappy, after all, since the king of Taizu Li Chenggui had begun to learn the Ming Dynasty, and by the time of King Sejong, Korea had been completely Ming Dynasty, so dealing with eunuchs made them feel humiliated, so this time he came first to make them feel comfortable, But now the things he asked for still need to be discussed by the court, so in addition to avoiding discussion at this time, other things are not taboo, especially the matter of the Japanese invaders is the most discussed, and King Sejong is also preparing to exterminate the coastal Japanese invaders. As for how far it goes, it depends on Daming to solve it.

He said in his heart, the Ming Dynasty crippled itself as soon as it was forbidden to the sea, and it took a hundred years for the plague to be completely solved, so it is up to you to solve it yourself.

After a full meal, he also politely thanked King Sejong for his warm hospitality, and wished the two countries good weather, peace and security, and an early eradication of the Japanese invaders......

Just when he was listening to a little song, drinking a little wine and eating Korean food, King Sejong went to meet his father Taizong Li Fangyuan, Taizong pondered for a long time and then said, if it is just a sailor guarding the port and inspecting the sea area, you can agree, after all, there is a trade of ten ships per month to solve the materials we urgently need, it is much more convenient than trading in the Yiju mutual market, and five thousand people will not pose a threat to us, on the contrary, they can deter the opposition in the country here, and our cooperation with Daming has involved the field of sailors, which is a good thing, Our national policy, such as the Ming Dynasty, is to forbid the sea, and they will retreat after the Japanese are exterminated.

Father, what if they stay here all the time? Sejong asked.

If the Ming Dynasty destroys us, it will be easy, don't worry about what these soldiers will do, there is trade with these soldiers, these soldiers will retreat, and the trade will stop, you just need to carve out a place and they can anchor the trade garrison ashore, Incheon County originally had a population of only a few thousand, there is not much arable land, they all make a living from fishing, they are here to levy civilian service, and they are willing to pay wages, we just give them a place to dock and replenish supplies, as for that little tax, it is even more insignificant, Anyway, if they don't come, we don't have any, and we don't have a penny, and there is no need to offend the Ming Emperor, and it is beneficial for us to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and it is more beneficial for us to trade with the Ming Dynasty......

The next day, after the court meeting of the Changdeokgung Palace Injeongjeon, King Sejong informed the ministers of the Ming envoy's arrival, so there was a heated discussion among the ministers of the Injeongjeon, first of all, whether the 5,000 men and horses were discussing the conspiracy of the Joseon Kingdom, and the result of the discussion was impossible, since it was impossible, there was no threat, and there was no reason to prevaricate without threat. The most important thing is that Daming did not let them pay a penny this time, and of course maritime trade needs a place to dock.
