On this day, the sky was clear, the wind was beautiful, and the sea near Jeju Island was sparkling under the sun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the mouth of the Han River on Jeju Island, North Korean fishermen cast their nets to catch fish on many small fishing boats, and there are many women drying dried fish on the beach, and there are even many North Korean children in ragged clothes, playing while looking at the sea and basking in the sun.

Looking at the sun, some people feel that something is wrong.

For in the distance, several black objects seemed to be approaching, and the black shadows grew larger and clearer, and in a few moments their outlines could be discerned.

The North Korean fishermen who were fishing on their boats were even more stunned, not even noticing that the nets were slipping out of their hands.

There were seven huge black ships in total, and each of them was pitch black and shiny, floating on the water, with gray-white smoke constantly rising from the top.

What the hell is this?

Soon, the conclusion was that this was the ship!

And it's a ship of foreign people!

As early as 1787, a French Far East expedition consisting of two warships broke into Jeju Island and Ulleungdo Island in Korea to survey the shipping lanes off the southern coast of Korea. In 1835, French Catholic missionaries infiltrated Korea to preach; In 1839, the "Jihai Prison" broke out in Korea, and eight years later, French warships prepared to invade Korea with armed aggression under the pretext that the French missionaries were killed, but they were abandoned. In 1851, French merchant ships infested the Jeju Island.

It's just that this time the temptation has not come so close as it is now.

As they approached Jeju Island, the garrison of Jeju Island, Li Cun'an, ordered his soldiers to get up and stop them, and at the same time came to the top and looked at the "monsters" on the sea with binoculars.

"What kind of ship is this?"

This is indeed seven ships, Li Cun'an, who was on the beach, looked at the foreign ship that was spewing smoke, although before this, there were also foreign merchant ships visiting the sea, but they were all sailboats, and this time it was a steamship that symbolized the modern civilization of the 19th century. To be exact, it was seven steam warships from China, and the leader of the fleet was none other than Shen Ming, the commander of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Han Army, who was ordered to march north.

"My lord, a ship is coming from the mouth of the river!"

There was no need for a first mate's communication, Shen Ming had already seen the approaching ship through the telescope, it was a small dilapidated wooden ship. Standing on the wooden boat were ragged North Korean sailors.

Getting closer and closer to the black ship, the more Jin Zae-jung who was in the bow of the ship could feel the enormity of the black ship and the pressure it revealed, just when he was puzzled, he saw a few people standing on the side of the ship, looking similar to himself, not the legendary blonde and blue-eyed, hairthirsty and bloodthirsty barbarian. Just as Kim Jae-joong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to shout, a shout came from the sideboard.

"It's a North Korean official!"

It's Chinese!

Listening to the shouts from the sideboard, Kim Jae-jung couldn't help but be stunned, and just when he was stunned, he heard the man on the side of the black ship shouting loudly.

"Hurry up and inform the superior officer, the fleet of the Celestial Empire will borrow your country's harbor to anchor temporarily!"

As one of the diplomats accompanying the fleet, he had specially studied North Korea, knew that North Korea was deferential to China, and he also knew how to deal with it.

Celestial Empire Fleet!

From the Qing Kingdom?

Li Cunan listened to Kim Jae-jung's announcement in surprise, at this time the warship was getting closer and closer to Guang Castle, so close that Li Cunan could see the officers and soldiers on the ship from the binoculars, the people on the ship were all wearing white clothes that were completely different from the clothes of the Qing Kingdom, and there was a Qing Guo wearing an official robe standing on the side...... No, that person is not wearing a Beiyi Hu suit!

Is that...... Staring at the official who was dressed in a cyan official robe and seemed to be embroidered with a white pheasant, Li Cunan blinked in surprise, and muttered even more on his lips.

"This, how is this possible?"

It really can't be!

How many years has it been?

Well, as far as the Koreans are concerned, since the fall of China, they have never seen an official of the Celestial Empire, dressed in Song and Ming uniforms. In the eyes of the Korean Yan exercisers, the Ming and Qing dynasties, the land of Shenzhou, and the mountains and rivers have long been transformed into the hometown of fishy soups. Hesitating and thinking about the past, he sighed that the Chinese ritual and music articles could not be seen again......

But now, when this heavenly official wearing a six-grade green robe stood at that small dock, Li Cun'an, who was originally a Confucian student, contacted the recent Han uprising in the south, and his heart suddenly felt a little agitated, and even the eye sockets were slightly hot, although he was agitated, but he still asked dutifully.

"The little official dares to ask the angel, I don't know who is the emperor of China now!"

The reason why he asked this question was actually to find out, after all, the Han people in China had only heard about it, could it be that now the Han people have recaptured the country?

"My Han Governor's surname is Zhu Yifeng, after the emperor Ming Jianwen, he has led hundreds of thousands of troops before the year, and he has started in Hubei, and he has been in the southeast of Kuang, and today he sent me to the court, and there is an important matter to discuss with the Er Domain! Immediately send someone to the shepherd to spread the word, and the official will wait here! ”

Although Jiang Litao's words were domineering, he directly said his identity and intention, the first stop of the fleet to the north this time was North Korea, the reason why North Korea was chosen, Han Du had Han Du's plans and intentions, and for Jiang Litao, all he needed was to achieve Han Du's wishes.

"Please rest assured, the little official will send someone to pass on the shepherd!"

At this time, Li Cun'an would say a word, especially when he heard that he was a descendant of Emperor Ming Jianwen, his wide eyes were full of surprise, but in addition to surprise, there was a burst of ecstasy.

Could it be that Chinese ritual music will be seen again in China?

"Please let the angels rest on the shore first!"

Jiang Litao did not accept Li Cun'an's invitation, but returned to the ship on the grounds that he had his life, and after he returned to the ship, Shen Ming asked in some surprise.

"Master Jiang, you say, they will really obediently give up Jeju Island to us?"

Jeju Island, this is precisely the purpose of the fleet's trip to North Korea - in order to allow the North Korean Homogeneous Army to enter Jeju Island, Jeju Island will be used as a transit point for immigrants to Ezo, Sakhalin and other places in the future.

Jiang Litao did not answer Shen Ming's question directly, but asked rhetorically with another question.

"If they don't let it, what is Admiral Shen going to do?"

"If they don't let it, it couldn't be simpler, it's nothing more than a fight, if my estimate is good, it's enough to send 100 people to climb!"

Looking at the dilapidated city wall of Jeju Muna, which is only a few hundred meters away from the sea, and the height of about two meters, it is said that it is a city wall, and the courtyard walls of ordinary large families in the country look stronger and taller than this wall. As for the city of Jeju, it is better to say that it looks like a city, but it is just a slightly larger courtyard - the city wall looks like 200 meters, far less than the garden of a wealthy family in Guangzhou.

Fight such a city...... At most, you only need to fire seven or eight cannons, send dozens of people up, and shoot down a row of guns, and you can naturally take it down.

"No need to waste shells!"

Shaking his head, Jiang Li said with a smile.

"They'll definitely agree!"

When Shen Ming and Jiang Litao were drinking tea calmly and waiting for news from the North Koreans, Jeju Mujin Yitai, the Jeju Mujin Yitai, the Jeju pastor who was born in North Korea and two classes, just got the news a month ago that the king was ready to recall him back to Seoul, which also meant that his "exile" was about to end.

But who would have thought that when this bitter day was about to end, this unfortunate thing came to an end, if it was a Western ship, he would not be worried, the problem was that this Western ship was not Westerners, but the Han Righteous Army who claimed to be after the emperor.

Where is Huang Ming now?

The rebels will always pull the tiger skin as a big banner, and it is very useful to be the emperor, and they will naturally be able to afford it, but the problem is that you have pulled the flag of the emperor, and you have come to North Korea with that flag, and you have come to North Korea in North Korea, and you have come to North Korea in the face of North Korea, and you have not left Ganghwa Island, which is closer to Seoul, but you have come to this Jeju Island, are you not asking for trouble for yourself?

Although he knew that the so-called Emperor Ming was just a banner pulled by the rebellious Han people, Jin Yitai knew very well that no matter whether he refused or accepted, he would be suppressed by political enemies.

If he accepts, some people will definitely call him a loss of power and humiliation of the country, but if he refuses, not only will some people say that he has "no king and no father" in the court, but even Shilin will not be able to accept his trip of "seeing no China".

In fact, now the whole of Korea is paying attention to the situation of the Manchus, after the death of Hu Xianfeng in Chengde, everyone saw the signs of decline of the Manchus because of the Han counterattack, and the "Northern Expedition Theory" became one of the focuses of discussion among the Korean scholars. However, as in the past, there are still two opposing views, such as Shen Jishan's advocacy of supporting the descendants of the Ming Dynasty after the success of the Northern Expedition and recovering the Ming Dynasty. His remarks were naturally approved by the whole of the DPRK, but there were also many people who felt that if the Northern Expedition was successful, it would be the time for the DPRK to take over China with a small China.

"How is this a good ......?"

Now in the face of this sudden visit of the rebel fleet, Jin Yitai's brows furrowed, should he accept or reject?

Just when he was hesitating in his heart, there was a sudden roar like thunder over there.

The sound of cannons echoing like thunder echoed in the sky above Jeju City, it was a deterrent, but listening to Kim Yitai's ears, it only shocked him so much that he almost didn't fall to the ground, could it be that the heavenly army of the Heavenly Empire had hit the shore?

If that were the case, things would be much easier! At that time, no matter who is speechless, just need a sentence to procrastinate, and you can't beat others!

Just when Jin Yitai's face was pale, another soap servant from the yamen hurried over, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and reported.

"The Celestial Empire Army, up, ashore ......" (to be continued.) )
