At the same time when Emperor Chongzhen's capital division in the Ming Dynasty was busy dealing with the chaos in various places, and was busy arranging the extermination of thieves and preparing for the affairs of Jianlu, Jiang Yueguang, Li Xin and Zhang Pu, the three great envoys sent by Emperor Chongzhen to Korea to pass the decree and exchange the treaty, were not idle.

Let's say that Jiang Yueguang, Li Xin and Zhang Pu were sent to North Korea by the will of Emperor Chongzhen before the New Year was over.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the day after the resignation of the three people, they set off at the urging of the North Korean envoys Kim Sangrong and Li Tinggui who were in a hurry to return home.

The group sat in several four-wheeled carriages of the Imperial Court, with the territorial demarcation treaty between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean State, as well as the imperial court's will to the general of Dongjiang Town and the Korean lord Li Liang, under the escort of Qiao Qitai, the deputy of the Jinyi Guard, rushed from Beijing to Tianjin, and after staying in Tianjin for three days, they transferred to five naval warships from Tianjin, and then sailed all the way to the east of the sea in the direction of Phi Dao in Dongjiang Town.

It was still the first month of the year, and the cold wind from the Mongolian Plateau in northern China was blowing strongly, and for people going to the sea in the direction of North Korea, it was a good time for "the wind to sail", and the strong northwest wind could keep the eastbound sea ships always maintaining a rare high speed.

The sea voyage, which originally took ten days or even half a month to reach Phi Dao, only took seven or eight days this time.

If it weren't for the fact that he stopped at Lushunkou to replenish fresh water, the time would have been shortened by another two days.

Jiang Yueguang has been on an envoy to North Korea, going and returning, going back and forth twice, all by sea, so he has become accustomed to the scenery on the sea.

However, Li Xin and Zhang Pu, who had never sailed by boat, naturally felt extremely novel, and were full of interest in everything they saw at sea, chasing Huang Long, the current deputy general of the Tianjin Navy Division, along the way.

At this time, Huang Long, who was in his early forties, was originally a coastal defense general guarding Lushunkou under the command of Governor Denglai, and after Zhang Cunren was transferred from the post of deputy chief soldier of the Tianjin Navy Division to the general army of Zhejiang, Huang Long was promoted to the post of deputy chief soldier of Tianjin in charge of the Tianjin Navy Division, and his position of general in Lushunkou was taken over by Li Weiluan, a guerrilla who returned from graduating from the lecture hall.

In the original history, Mao Wenlong was booby-trapped by Yuan Chonghuan on July 24 of the second year of Chongzhen in Shuangdao near Lushunkou, after the news of Mao Wenlong's killing was transmitted back to Phi Island, Dongjiang Town immediately fell into turmoil, and the imperial court reluctantly accepted Yuan Chonghuan's arrangement and appointed Chen Jisheng and the Liu brothers to lead the Dongjiang Town Left and Right Association.

But it didn't take long for Liu Xingzuo to die in battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, because the body was not found, Chen Jisheng reported his whereabouts on the report to the imperial court, and as a result, many officials above the imperial court began to speculate out of thin air, saying that Liu Xingzuo had defected back to the Jin State after the capture, so the imperial court did not reward Liu Xingzuo's death.

Liu Xingzhi and Chen Jisheng in order to compete for the position of the general army of Dongjiang Town, there was already a suspicion, and when the rumors in the court spread to Dongjiang Town, he was even more dissatisfied with Chen Jisheng and the disposal of the imperial court, so he did not stop doing two things, launched a surprise attack, killed Chen Jisheng and Chen Jisheng's henchmen, and Dongjiang Town immediately fell into chaos.

After the news of Chen Jisheng's killing reached the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen quickly appointed a new commander of Dongjiang Town, and this new commander was Huang Long.

In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Huanglong was ordered to take some of his henchmen, and soon arrived on Phi Dao, and after arriving on Phi Dao, he quickly gathered Chen Jisheng's subordinates, contacted Shen Shikui, Qu Chengen and others, and quickly stabilized the situation on Phi Dao, but when Liu Xingzhi was appeased, he was deceived into the camp by Liu Xingzhi in the name of discussing and being appeased, and it fell into the hands of Liu Xingzhi.

Liu Xingzhi wanted to be the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town but couldn't, so he was very hostile to the new general soldier Huang Long who intended to take away his military power, tortured and tortured all kinds of Huang Long, and even cut off all of Huang Long's nose and ears and sent them to Shen Shikui, Qu Chengen and others as a warning.

It stands to reason that not to mention a general military officer, it is an ordinary person, the enemy has cut off your nose and ears, you must be desperate with this enemy, but Huanglong did not, he first relented, promised to play the court on his behalf, and asked Liu Xingzhi to be the chief soldier, although Liu Xingzhi continued to hold on to him, but did not kill him.

However, it didn't take long for Huang Long to say that one of Liu Xingzhi's subordinates took refuge in him, and then escaped from Guanglu Island, which was controlled by the Liu brothers, and after returning to Phi Island, he quickly gathered an army, turned around and attacked, and captured Liu Xingzhi and his henchmen to death, and put down the rebellion in Dongjiang Town.

However, after this turmoil, the power of Dongjiang Town was greatly weakened, not only lost the role of the Houjin, but also completely lost the trust of the imperial court, and the supply of grain, grass and military resources was also repeatedly reduced.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Li Jiucheng launched a rebellion in Dengzhou, and after the defeat, they fled to Houjin with a large number of troops, baggage, and population.

Huang Long once again played an important role at this time, intercepting the huge fleet of these people off the coast of Lushun, and under a fierce battle, the culprit Li Jiucheng and his son, as well as the families of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, were almost all captured and beheaded, and at the same time, a large number of Denglai people who crossed the sea with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were rescued.

However, it is a pity that although Huanglong is strong-willed and loyal, the strength of Dongjiang Town was already very weak at that time, although he desperately blocked it, but in the end he still did not stop all the fleets of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and as a result, these two people fled to the side of Houjin with a large number of firearms troops and cannon casting craftsmen and technicians in Denglai, and Huanglong himself was also killed in this sea battle.

This is all the memory that this Chongzhen Emperor can recall after seeing the name Huanglong.

Of course, there will be mistakes and omissions in the details, but on the whole, there will be no deviation, especially the performance of Huang Long at several key moments, which is particularly valuable.

Such a person, if he has the opportunity to be promoted and reused, of course Emperor Chongzhen will not be stingy.

However, Huang Long himself, who was appointed by the imperial court in this life, of course, did not know the complicated reasons behind this, in addition to being as grateful to the emperor for his trust as in history, he soon went to Tianjin Sailor Yamen in December of the first year of Chongzhen.

Although the current Emperor Chongzhen has a soul from the later generations, in the final analysis, the owner of these two souls is just an ordinary office worker in the later generations, with no extraordinary knowledge reserves, nor any eloquence, all he can rely on is some superficial historical knowledge he learned in the later generations.

Moreover, this historical knowledge, which is not very systematic, is gradually fading and disappearing into the depths of his mind as the time he takes to the Ming Dynasty becomes longer.

On the 14th day of the first month of the first year of Chongzhen, Jiang Yueguang and others, escorted by the sailors led by Huang Long, passed through Lushunkou, and then docked at the harbor outside Lushunkou, which was regarded as the fifteenth day of the first month.

During this period, under the strong suggestion of Li Xin, several people also climbed the mountain to observe the sea, surveyed the situation, and had a preliminary understanding of the terrain of the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, so they also had a personal understanding of the importance of the strategic location of Lushunkou.

Under the hospitality of Li Weiluan, the general of Lushunkou, under the urging of the North Korean envoys, the group boarded the ship again on the 16th day of the first lunar month and went to sea.

On the morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month, when the sun rose over the sea, the group arrived at Phi Dao, the hub of Dongjiang Town.
