The two returned from north to south in a small boat, and there were two more captives on board, and they met two Korean princes on the way.

Zhu Changyuan personally went to the sea to greet him, and Ma Hai and Sun Erleng not only brought back the Korean prince, but also brought back the two horses they had given them before.

On the shore, Zhu Changyuan was very satisfied and said, "You two have worked hard, go find Lao Yan and ask for a daughter-in-law." "Send Sun Erleng and Ma Hai away.

Looking at the two princes in front of him, who looked good and looked white and clean, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Unexpectedly, the two princes both knew Chinese, and said: "In Xia Li Wei, this is my younger brother Li Hao." ”

The crown prince and prince of the Joseon Kingdom.

Although the Riyue Island where Zhu Changyuan lives is now unoccupied, no one has demarcated the sphere of influence, and neither the Ming and Qing dynasties nor Korea have sent troops, but there is no doubt that this island belongs to North Korea in history, and the key is that this island is only 100 miles away from the land of the Korean Peninsula, and it is inconvenient for the Ming and Qing dynasties to come and intervene.

But now it's different, Zhu Changyuan, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, settled in Riyue Island, in case Emperor Chongzhen ordered someone to come over and deliver Riyue Island on a whim, he would not have to give up the base he had worked so hard to build. Either it was a rebellion and a fight against the Ming Dynasty from then on.

Zhu Changyuan is not afraid of rebellion, but once things are promising, it is better to maintain this relationship with Chongzhen, at least he will not harass his own development.

Zhu Changyuan had been having a headache before, and he was always worried that he would be forced to Liangshan by Da Ming one day, but after seeing the two princes today, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

I already have a mature plan in mind.

"Two princes, please!" Zhu Changyuan politely invited Li Wei and Li Hao to the conference room of his small building, made a cup of Coke for each of them, and said: "You are all princes of North Korea, I am a general of the Ming Dynasty, our two countries have been friends for many years, and I have heard that North Korea is known as Little China to the outside world, and I have no ill will towards the two, so the two of you don't have to be afraid." ”

The tension in Li Hao and Li Wei's hearts eased slightly, and they lowered their heads and picked up the cup and took a sip.

"This is, liqueur?" Li Wei asked.

"No, it's a drink, you can treat it as a sweet tea." Zhu Changyuan smiled and motioned for the two to continue drinking.

Li Hao drank it in one go, but Li Wei said to Zhu Changyuan with concern: "Thank you for the general's kindness, the general captured Shengjing a few days ago, and the strength of my brother General Duomeng was able to escape the minions of Jianyu, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Do it, no thanks!" Zhu Changyuan poured Li Hao another glass of Coke.

"General." As the crown prince, Li Wei was thoughtful and asked: "My brothers and I have been separated from my parents for a long time, and I hope that the general will read the old friendship between the two countries in the Ming Dynasty and let me return to China. ”

Zhu Changyuan shook his head with a smile and said, "The two princes are all golden, and they can't afford to be missed, and I'm very worried that others will send the two back to China." In this way, after I cross the sea north and destroy Huang Taiji, I will send you back to China. ”

Li Hao listened to Zhu Changyuan's words, almost spit out the Coke in his mouth with a "poof", his face was so red that he forcibly swallowed the Coke into his stomach, and said: "Huang Taiji is extremely powerful, he has 100,000 cavalry and 150,000 elite soldiers. ”

Zhu Changyuan smiled but did not speak.

Li Wei is an understanding person, thinking that Zhu Changyuan will not have much effect in keeping him, so he is afraid that this move will have a plan, so he said: "What does the general need, but it doesn't matter, I will try my best to meet it." ”

"Happy." Zhu Changyuan smiled and added another glass of Coke to Li Hao, and said: "Actually, I don't ask you for gold and silver property, as long as the prince agrees to the next request, I can send you back to China immediately." ”

"Say!" Li Wei frowned, and snorted coldly in his heart.

"The crown prince can return to China at any time, but His Royal Highness the prince must stay, and let your king of Joseon issue a decree to canonize this Sun Moon Island to His Royal Highness the prince, and I will treat His Royal Highness like a brother!"

After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Li Hao drank half of the Coke but didn't drink it, looked at Zhu Changyuan with his mouth open, and then looked at Li Wei.

"Brother Huang, me."

Before Li Hao finished speaking, Li Wei interrupted him, "Brother Huang, don't worry, I believe that General Zhu will be very good to you, don't you like to drink sweet tea here?" Stay and savor it. ”

Listening to Li Wei's words, Zhu Changyuan smiled: The struggle between the crown princes is the same in every palace.

At that moment, Li Wei wrote a memo, and Zhu Changyuan sent it to Haeju in western Korea, which was only 100 miles away from Hanyang (Seoul), and the Haizhou officials got the recital and traveled day and night non-stop, and sent it to Hanyang, the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, in one day.

+++++++++++++

In turn, he sent Sun Erleng to Phi Island to deal with Wu Yinglong and the eunuch, and monitored their every move at all times.

For several days, there was no news from the North Korean side, and Zhu Changyuan was not in a hurry, riding a horse around the sea every day, looking at the busy scene of Riyue Island, there was a sense of relief and accomplishment in his heart.

In three days, all the corn was planted, a full 10,000 acres.

Surveyors and mappers are still measuring, calculating, and drawing; Lao Jiang led more than 100 people to build more than half of the two-story office building, and because the office building is all poured with concrete, the speed is also extremely fast. The clay bricks are still being made, and there is no way to build the school, so the students are attending classes in the open air every day, sometimes looking for a shady place, sometimes finding a place to shelter from the rain, and then Zhu Changyuan simply took the canvases from the warehouse to make a temporary greenhouse, so that the children can attend classes in groups.

Zhu Changning led a group of people to renovate Zheng He's treasure ship, which was the kind of weapon for naval warfare that Zhu Changyuan heard from his father before. The naval battle artifact has not been completed yet, and the parts of this thing alone cost him two or three million yuan, as for the power after the modification, it will only be known after trying, but according to Dad's description, it is not bad.

Zhu Changyuan was looking forward to it.

In the past few days, the land has been transformed and planted, and it has brought him another two million in contribution value income.

The people on the island are busy working, and Zhu Changyuan will naturally not be idle, and continues to transport a large amount of steel bars, cement, diesel and gasoline from modern society as backup.

A few days later, Sun Erleng came from Phi Dao with a news that made Zhu Changyuan stunned: Jingshi has another group of eunuchs, and this time they have made a special trip to Zhu Changyuan to make an official.

Zhu Changyuan couldn't sit still as soon as he heard this, what does it mean to be an official and deprive himself of military power? Do you want me to hand over Sun Moon Island as well?

Fortunately, on the same day, there was also good news that made him excited: someone from the Joseon Dynasty had arrived. And it's not just one or two, it's a big group.
