Chapter 764: Asking for a monthly pass in Busan

Luo Xiangmei was surprised: "Your Majesty, you said the Hawaiian Kingdom?" But didn't the Treaty of the Five Hawaii say that the independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the status of the Hawaiian royal family should be jointly protected? ”

Zhu Jishi sneered: "Of course, the independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom must be guaranteed, then the prince of Daming will be the king, and the princess of Daying will be the queen!" Who in the world dares to destroy this country? As for the current Hawaiian royal family, God has his own to clean them up. ”

There was a murderous aura in these words, how could Luo Xiangmei not hear it. She was silent for a moment: "It's still a disadvantage to use Hawaii for Lanfang, so it's better to let him inherit the shares of Jishixing." ”

The status of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang is too important, so the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must personally serve as the Grand Duke of Lanfang, and cannot hand over the country to a certain prince. And Hawaii has not yet eaten the meat in his mouth, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to swallow it alone, so Zhu Jishi is thinking about co-managing with the United Kingdom. Zhu Guoxiong and a British princess shared the monarchy, and at the same time the British minister ruled the country, and Pearl Harbor was also handed over to the British fleet as a base. In addition, coupled with the shares of Jishixing, it should satisfy Queen Victoria and Luo Xianglan. But if these two women are satisfied, the other woman will probably be dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, will Concubine Ming agree?"

Zhu Jishi said: "Mingzi has only one daughter...... Moreover, I will not prohibit Japanese people from moving to the island of Hawaii, and in addition, the king of the Ryukyus can choose a prince with Japanese roots. ”

Now Emperor Zhu has not had a son with his Japanese concubine, but considering that there are so many Japanese women in the Daming Palace, such a prince will appear sooner or later, it is Mingzi himself. I'm only 20 years old this year. The best age to have children has not yet arrived.

"So...... What about the king of Joseon? Luo Xiangmei looked at Emperor Zhu. Whispered tentatively.

Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. He has many wives and sons, and he can inherit more than one monarchy. Among them, the Ming Emperor is one, the Grand Duke of Lanfang is one, the King of the Ryukyus is one, and the King of Korea is also one. The sons of Luo Xiangmei and Luo Xiangju sisters have their own countries, but there are still a lot of princes who have no country to rule. Although Emperor Zhu will give them a prince and a county king. But it's not as majestic as the king of a country, right?

"The seat of the king of Korea is also prepared for Kunio, if the king of Hawaii does not make it to go to Korea. However, the king of North Korea is not very easy to be, and the power of the two classes of wealthy families is too great. As this king, I just collect 300,000 silver dollars from them every year, and if Guoxiong wants to go, I have to find a chance to clean it up......"

As he spoke, Zhu Jishi stood up and walked towards the tent of the aya mantle. The queen did not continue to discuss the future of the princes with Zhu Jishi, smiled a little, put down the soup spoon in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and walked over. Zhu Jishi was already sitting on the edge of the big bed at this time. The dragon robe had been taken off, and the yellow satin underwear had been untied and the straps were open. Muscles full of masculinity are exposed. Zhu Jishi puts physical health first, never stops exercising, his emperor can have a taste, but he still wants to work for thirty or forty years!

Luo Xiangmei was already sitting softly on Zhu Jishi's lap, letting a pair of big hands tear open her dress and gently rub it on her twin peaks......

……

Busan, an important port in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, was a port for trade with Japan before the Imjin War, allowing Japanese merchants to live and open trading houses. However, after the Imjin War, the area gradually became desolate and dilapidated, and there were no Japanese living here. However, today, a huge Ming naval transport fleet transported a shipload of Japanese soldiers to the port of Busan.

On the wharf of Pusan Port, many officers and soldiers of the Korean Kyung Army's Wuwei Battalion and the Zhuangyu Battalion gathered one after another, and the soldiers either held cold weapons or poor-quality arquebuses, and watched with trepidation as the neatly equipped Japanese soldiers stepped down from the sailing ships of the Ming army. There were also some North Korean officials in python robes and black yarns standing there helplessly, all sighing. They are all big officials of the government, including Zhao Yinyong, the leader of the government, Jin Zuogen, the right judge and soldier Cao Juan, Zhao Bingkui, the Chengzheng Yuan, and the official Cao Jushu Jin Xinggen, the chief of the Sixian Mansion Jin Wengen, and so on. They are all big names of the Andong Kim family and the Fengyang Zhao family, and they are representatives of the two classes of wealthy families in North Korea.

Speaking of which, the past few years have really been the most lively time for the two classes in North Korea. For Kim Jo-geun and Cho In-young, everything is so beautiful. The Western powers that had been peeping into Korea were gone, and the royal family of the Lee Dynasty, which had been pressing on them for a long time, no longer existed, and was replaced by the great emperor who was also the king of Korea. But the emperor of the Celestial Empire has too many things to do, and he doesn't care about North Korea at all, as long as he gives the emperor 300,000 silver dollars every year, everything will be fine.

Although the emperor set up a Korean trading company to control Korea's foreign trade, he also asked HSBC to issue silver and copper dollars in Korea, and also looked for minerals in northern Korea. However, all this did not harm the interests of the two classes of wealthy families - the North Korean trading company did not extend its tentacles to all corners of the Korean interior, but only opened trading houses in Incheon and Uiju, purchased North Korean ginseng, sea cucumbers, pearls, and animal skins, and sold some items produced by the Ming Dynasty to the North Koreans. The two classes of wealthy families can still profit from the North Korean businessmen they control, and in the past two years, there has been a great demand for luxury goods produced in North Korea in the Ming Dynasty, which has made the two classes of wealthy families profitable.

HSBC's currency issuance business in North Korea has also been welcomed by North Korea. Who doesn't love these gold, silver and copper coins that are of good quality, good color, and easy to preserve? Besides, when the Qing Dynasty was the suzerain, weren't the silver taels and copper coins of the Qing Dynasty also used in Korea?

As for the search for minerals in the north of Korea, after several years of searching, there was no big discovery, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, no one expected that a war between the Ming Dynasty and Russia would put them, the two big men who actually ruled North Korea, in a dilemma, no, it should be a dilemma. Because the Ming Emperor "conscripted" 30,000 Japanese troops to participate in the battle on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, and these Japanese troops had to transit through Korea!

If it weren't for the Japanese rebellion more than 200 years ago, this kind of thing would not be a big deal. The Great Tomorrow is the "Lord of All Nations" in the East, and the Japanese are doing their duty to help in the war. North Korea is also a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, and the king is the son of the Great Tomorrow, so the Japanese still dare to disagree?

The problem, however, is that relations between Korea and Japan have not been harmonious since the Imjin Rebellion, and the Korean people regard the Japanese as enemies. The transit of 30,000 Japanese troops is considered by some people to be a loss of power and humiliation of the country! Moreover, what makes Kim Zuogen and Zhao Yin even more embarrassed is that Tokugawa Akiko, the adoptive mother of General Tokugawa, who usurped the power of Japan not long ago, also has to cross the border with these Japanese troops! And this Tokugawa Akiko is the concubine of the Ming Emperor, that is, the concubine of the King of Joseon...... It's their titular master! Later, when the concubine got off the ship, they all had to kowtow, or kowtow to the Japanese ruler in front of tens of thousands of Korean people who did not know the truth, this is really a loss of power and humiliation of the country!

Tokugawa Akiko didn't know at this time that her passing would make the North Koreans feel so embarrassed. At this time, she was standing on the back deck of the battleship Daming with Matsudaira Rongho, the commander of the Japanese war forces, watching the landing of Japanese troops, while waiting for the Korean officials to board the ship to say goodbye.

I don't know how long it took to say that Tokugawa Akiko suddenly sighed softly: "Such a scene...... It's like the Battle of Wenlu Qingchang! ”

The Battle of Bunroku Keicho is what the Koreans call the Imjin War, which happened more than 200 years ago, and has nothing to do with the Tokugawa shogunate, but was a war of aggression launched by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, for Japan, this war also represents a painful memory, and throughout the Tokugawa shogunate, the Japanese did not dare to think anything about the East Asian continent, and it was directly related to this war.

And this time, more than 40,000 Japanese samurai have participated in the war between the Ming Dynasty and Russia, and now another 30,000 troops have been sent, and the scale of Japan's participation in the war has actually reached as much as 70,000! Compared to the battle of Keicho Wenlu, it is really not much smaller. It's just that I don't know if what will be left to Japan in the last place will be another painful memory? (To be continued......)
