Chapter 154: Say One Thing, Do Another Thing
Xu Liangyi saw that Li Yiguang didn't believe it at all, so he took Li Yiguang into the cabin, looked at the goods in the cabin, and after reading these things, Li Yiguang gradually believed it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, Xu Liangyi began to talk about cooperation with Li Yiguang, and Xu Liangyi was very good at business matters, and it didn't take half an hour to talk about all trade matters.
In addition, Xu Liangyi proposed that there are many goods and the wharf is too small, so whether it is possible to rent a piece of land in Incheon Port, on the one hand, to store goods to facilitate trade, and on the other hand, to facilitate the docking of ships and the rest of personnel.
Li Yiguang agreed, which was very refreshing, which made Xu Liangyi very happy, and he didn't think that things were going so smoothly.
Not far from the wharf, near the port of Incheon, the two parties agreed to lease a piece of land, which is a large wasteland, there are not a few households, the area is very large, and it is enough to build a large wharf.
All matters, the two sides agreed orally, only to discuss the specific details in detail, because Li Yiguang said that the specific details need to go back and think about it, and wait for a few days.
Since it had been agreed verbally, after Li Yiguang left, Xu Liangyi instructed everyone to level the land there, build houses or tents, and everyone rest for a while.
Everything seems to be going very well, but in fact, things are far from that simple.
Incheon Prefecture, government hall
Li Yiguang came back from the dock and was sitting in the lobby, drinking tea, next to several subordinates, one of whom said, "My lord, did we promise them so?" ”
Another person also said: "My lord, we can't promise him, saying that it is renting, who knows how long they will rent, in case they don't leave, what will we do?" ”
Li Yiguang said slowly: "Do you think I will really agree, I just deal with them, I have already sent someone to report to Your Majesty, and everything is decided by Your Majesty." ”
It turned out that it was just a superficial coping, saying one thing, and doing another set, and the subordinates next to him suddenly realized, one of them said: "It's still an adult." ”
Li Yiguang laughed, "This is our territory, paralyze them first, wait, they won't have good fruits to eat." ”
Xu Liangyi and the others naturally didn't know that this was full of conspiracy, and thought that things were going very well, and the area around the wharf was lively, and everyone was busy, setting up tents, building houses, and so on in this open wasteland on the side of the wharf.
Seoul.
The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, had already received a report and was convening a group of ministers to discuss the matter, and Inchon was only a few dozen kilometers away from Seoul, and the news was transmitted quickly.
The Ming Dynasty came with a large fleet, which made the Korean authorities who had already defected to the Manchus think that this was a big deal, no, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was discussing the matter.
"Your Majesty, our dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have always been friendly, they just came to carry out trade, and the minister thought that he could meet their requirements, so he rented that piece of wasteland to them, and it was okay to do business with them."
This is an old minister, it seems to be a civil minister, but the position does not seem to be high, as soon as this remark came out, it was immediately refuted by a military general.
The military general immediately said: "This can't be, we are already a vassal country of the Qing Dynasty, in case the Qing Dynasty knows that we are dealing with the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will send male soldiers over, and then we will be in danger!" ”
"The minister also thinks that it is not appropriate to deal with the Ming Dynasty, even if it is not to trade."
"Yes, not trade."
Sitting on the throne, the Korean king Yi Liang said slowly: "Since everyone thinks that it is not appropriate to trade with them, then ask them to go back, where they come from, go back." ”
One of the ministers gritted his teeth, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that things are not so simple, this time they came to the warship, the purpose is obvious, if we don't agree to trade, we may use force." ”
Immediately, a military general laughed, "Haha, just with a little bit of them, it's not me who brags, just a little bit of people, I can destroy them with a wave of my hand." ”
Someone reminded: "It may be easy to destroy them, but in this way, the Ming Dynasty will be offended to death, and if they send a large army, we are afraid that it will be difficult to resist." ”
Just now, the military general laughed again, and said with a sneer: "The current Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, the national strength is getting worse day by day, the country is full of smoke, there are thousands of holes, and there is the Qing Dynasty outside the customs to press forward step by step, I think it is a matter of time before it will perish, where is there still the national strength to send a large army to crusade against us." ”
"Yes, yes, the minister also agrees with this, the Ming Dynasty has been difficult to protect itself, it is not terrible at all, I think it is better to be ruthless, directly destroy this fleet, rob their things, if the Qing Dynasty knows, a happy may also exempt us from part of the tribute."
After listening to the opinions of the ministers below, the king of Joseon made a decision in his heart, and his eyes flashed sharply, and he said slowly: "Then we will kill all their people, burn and sink their ships, and rob them of their things." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers shouted in unison, and the matter was decided, and they began to prepare, preparing to use force against Xu Liangyi and them.
…………
Xu Liangyi stood on the dock, thoughtful, and seemed to feel some unusual taste, it has been three days since he came here, and the merchant promised by Li Yiguang has not appeared.
On the first day of coming to the dock, Li Yiguang's attitude made Xu Liangyi very relieved, but in fact it was not the case at all, Xu Liangyi was not stupid, on the contrary, he was experienced and very capable.
Xu Liangyi thought in his heart, "Could it be that there is some conspiracy that cannot be achieved?" ”
Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Liangyi was startled, knowing that this is North Korea's territory, and he is weak, if the other party really has any means or conspiracy, it is difficult to say.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
So, in order to prevent accidents, Xu Liangyi had to make all preparations and discuss with the accompanying sailor captain An Donghai, Xu Liang said the worries in his heart, and An Donghai also frowned.
An Donghai accompanied by hundreds of sailors, everyone's task is to protect the safety of the fleet, before coming, Zhao Weibin focused on safety matters, and now the fleet may be in danger, An Donghai attaches great importance to it.
An Donghai sent people to build some simple fortifications according to the actual situation of the wharf, and Xu Liangyi and the others all returned to the ship, six ships of 1,000 materials, plus hundreds of sailors, this is everyone's defense force.
However, everyone is facing the military power of North Korea, Seoul is very close to Incheon, only a few tens of kilometers, and the fastest to send troops from Seoul is two days, and the slowest is only three or five days.
On the road leading from Seoul to Incheon, a North Korean army is marching, the number of people is more than 3,000, the leading North Korean generals are riding tall horses, wearing armor, the destination of this army is Incheon, wanting to eliminate Xu Liangyi and rob Xu Liangyi's fleet.
More than 3,000 people, it is estimated that it is the vanguard force, and there are people and horses in the follow-up, and they brought cannons, more than a dozen large and small, the kind of front-mounted casting cannons.
In the afternoon.
A number of simple fortifications were built on the perimeter of the pier, and behind the fortifications, some sailors, who belonged to the Marine Corps, were already in place.
Fortunately, there were hundreds of marines accompanying him, if Xu Liangyi's gang of guys, it would definitely not work, in the end, everyone is not a combatant.
As reservists, everyone picked up muskets, the kind of smoothbore muskets, and many guys held guns, with nervous faces, and looked into the distance from time to time.
"Will there really be a fight?"
"It's hard to say! I heard that Korea is now a vassal state of the Tatars, and I completely listen to the Tatars. ”
"He's xx, if it really fights, Lao Tzu must make them look good."
There was a guy dressed in a short fight next to him, and said loudly: "Liu Datou, will you use this kind of gun, wait a minute, don't hit your own people." ”
The guy nicknamed Liu Datou immediately said: "Zhang Heizi, don't look down on people, I have used this gun, I know how to load, how to aim and shoot." ”
Xu Liangyi's group of buddies, since they were equipped with the kind of smoothbore musket that was eliminated before, everyone organized several exercises, and most of them knew how to use this kind of gun.
A thousand-material ship near the dock, in the command room.
Xu Liangyi and An Donghai stood side by side in the command room, looking at the distance of the dock, both of them looked more serious.
An Donghai said: "Boss Xu, I have a hunch that this time the other party will definitely be menacing, and it will be a vicious battle." ”
Xu Liangyi nodded slowly, knowing that this place was close to Seoul, and if the North Korean side was really unfavorable to him, he would definitely send heavy troops, because there were a large number of North Korean soldiers near Seoul.
"Come... Come... Here he is....they came, well... A lot of people. ”
A sailor, hurried, almost out of breath, ran into the command room and anxiously reported.
An Donghai asked in a deep voice: "How many of them are there, and what is the specific situation?" ”
The sailor took a few breaths, and waited until he was a little better before he reported: "They are coming, less than three miles from us, and there are several thousand in number, and some artillery. ”
Xu Liangyi and An Donghai glanced at each other, and both of them said at the same time in their hearts, they are really here, and they are really menacing.
An Donghai said loudly: "Pass the order and prepare for battle!" ”
The order was given, and hundreds of sailors with muskets, relying on the fortifications that had just been built, all of them with guns in front of them.
An Donghai held his monocular, looked into the distance, and looked in the direction the other party came from......
