Officials at the port of Jeju finally saw Yangliu step down from the huge warship with trepidation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You're in charge of this? What is your name? Yang Liu asked as he looked at the North Korean official, who had just been reported to him that the North Korean official could speak Chinese and be able to communicate.
"The villain's name is Li Maru, and he manages the order of the port here." The North Korean official replied cautiously.
"Li Maru, we are the Daming Naval Division, and we came to Jeju Island to help you fight against Houjin, and now the fate of officials and soldiers on Jeju Island is in your hands, and anyone who obstructs our actions is a spy of Houjin fornication, and the army will kill the spies everywhere, you now go to Jeju Mansion to send a letter to Lord Yin, and ask him to come here immediately to discuss with us about the joint fight against Jin, and tell him not to think of going to sea by boat to send a message to Houjin, our ships have blocked the whole island, and all ships leaving the island without my order will be sunk. If you don't understand anything, you can stand here and count our ships and the soldiers who landed on the island. After Yang Liu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Maru to answer, and turned around and left.
When waiting for Yang Liu to go ashore, he had carefully observed the strength of the Ming army, and there were thousands of Ming troops on the dock alone, and the follow-up ships were still coming, and the huge battleship that Yang Liu was riding on gave Li Maru a great shock, from the open gun window, you can see the guns in the ship, Li Maru carefully counted, there are hundreds of cannons on a ship, he can't think of what North Korea can use to compete with it. This single ship can wipe out all the troops on Jeju Island, not to mention that there are hundreds of large and small ships outside the port, and Li Maru also saw a large ship as far as his eye could see, it was the same size as the boat that Yang Liu was riding, guarding outside the port, the strength of this Ming fleet was not an opponent of the entire Korean navy.
Not daring to delay more at the port, Lee Maru ran all the way to Jeju Mansion and reported to Yoon Puchang, the supreme leader of Jeju Mansion, on the island. Li Maru knew that what Yang Liu said was right, the fate of the officials on Jeju Island was really in his hands, and the Ming army must have made a lot of determination to send such a powerful fleet and so many soldiers over at once without greeting him in advance this time, and this operation did not want to take care of the feelings of the North Koreans at all. If anyone on the island can't think of making enemies with the Ming army, then bloodshed is inevitable.
The governor of Jeju Prefecture, Yoon Puchang, listened to Li Maru's report, especially after hearing that the Ming army had unloaded a cannon from the ship and blockaded the entire island with ships, he made a very correct decision and ordered his men to go immediately to meet the Ming army, and the Ming army should lead the way wherever they wanted, and never clash with the Ming army. After giving the order, Pu Changlai immediately set off to meet Yang Liu, no matter what the intentions of these Ming troops were, enough artillery said everything. What Park Chang-rae has to do now is to ask Yang Ryu to slow down the advance of his troops and not to clash with some soldiers who have not yet received orders, causing unnecessary bloodshed.
The meeting between Park Changlai and Yang Liu went well, and many officials in North Korea were enthusiastic about learning the culture of the Ming Dynasty, learning the language of the Ming Dynasty, and studying the books of the Ming Dynasty, and Park Changlai happened to be one of them, and after some conversation, Park Changlai understood what Yang Liu said. In order to help Korea resist the invasion of the Later Jin, the Ming Emperor decided to win a surprise victory, and sent this powerful army to Jeju Island to establish an anti-Jin base to train troops for Korea, and the Ming army would also provide a large amount of material support for Korea. In the future, Jeju Island will be used as a transit point for the transportation of supplies and soldiers. The reason why he did not contact the king of Korea in advance was because the king was surrounded by traitors who were in contact with foreign countries, and these traitors colluded with Houjin to plague the three thousand miles of Korea and the Ming Dynasty hoped that loyal courtiers would report directly to the king, and all actions would be carried out in secret.
Park Changlai understood that what Yang Liu said was one thing, and the true intention was another. Next, Yang Liu took Park Chang to visit the landing troops and let the "Caiyun" perform an artillery salvo. Park Changlai thoroughly understood that he only cooperated with the actions of the Ming army was the most correct choice.
Park Chang-lai himself was inclined to unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Houjin. He was also very loyal to the Korean state, which was an unexpected gain that Yang Liu did not expect, and Park Changlai promised Yang Liu that he would definitely cooperate with the actions of the Ming army on the island. Ask Yang Liu to restrain the soldiers and not to harass the people. That's all he can do in the face of a powerful army.
The security army has strict discipline, and even if it is overseas, there will be no relaxation, so Yang Liu naturally happily agreed to Park Changlai's request. Park Changlai breathed a sigh of relief, and he tentatively asked if he could use as a messenger for the Ming army to convey the meaning of the Ming army to the king of Korea. Yang Liu did not stop Park Chang-rae from leaving, according to the established strategy of the security forces, the Joseon king would be better able to cooperate, and if he did not cooperate, with the current strength of the Korean army, he would not be able to attack Jeju Island.
The current king of North Korea is Li Liang, and at the beginning of Li Liang's reign, the people who supported him against the Houjin were still the majority, but later the North Korea and the Ming army jointly resisted the Jin Dynasty and the Houjin invasion of Korea, and the North Korea was forced to negotiate peace with the Houjin, and the North Korea paid tribute to the Houjin every year.
Park Changlai left Jeju Island, hid his whereabouts, sneaked back to Seoul, and secretly asked to see King Li Liang, Li Liang listened to Park Changlai's report and the whole person was blinded, and there was a Houjin who was unreasonable, and when was the Ming Dynasty so unreasonable, he sent troops to North Korea without consulting him. Park Changlai told Li Liang about the situation of this unreasonable Ming army, and Li Liang understood that sometimes the cannon is reason.
Li Liang summoned a few trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures overnight. The ministers quarreled all night and finally came to a conclusion. The Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied with the alliance between North Korea and the Later Jin, but also hoped that North Korea could contain part of the Later Jin power, and this military dispatch was a warning to North Korea and an opportunity for North Korea, if North Korea cooperated with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty might really be able to help North Korea. And this matter really can't be publicized in the court, it can only be done in secret. In the end, King Li Liang decided to send Pu Chang to negotiate with the Ming army, if the conditions proposed by the Ming army were not harsh, the two sides could carry out secret cooperation, and there was an opportunity to strengthen themselves, and they must seize it, and the days of being bullied by Houjin were indeed not easy.
Pak Chang-lai returned to Jeju Island to prepare for arduous negotiations with Yang-ryu, but he did not expect that the conditions proposed by the other party were very simple, the security army was responsible for training a North Korean army to fight together against Houjin in the future, but in order to ensure the safety of the security forces on the island, the whole island was under military control, and the whole island was placed under the jurisdiction of the security forces. For this article, Park Changlai was powerless to object, and the army was all on the island, and it was impossible to fall under their jurisdiction.
Another condition of Yangliu was more attractive to Pak Chang-rae, as the security forces would transport all kinds of goods urgently needed by North Korea from Shandong, and Pak Chang-rae could be responsible for transporting the goods to the Korean Peninsula for sale. In this way, the security army profits, and Park Changlai also has money to make.
The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, received the conditions that Pak Changlai passed back the Ming army, and felt that the Ming army might really come to contain Houjin, and send good things to train the army for himself, where to find such a good thing. As a result, the first batch of 2,000 Korean soldiers were sent to be trained by the Ming army, and Jeju Island, the base for fighting Houjin at sea, was officially established. (To be continued.) )
