Chapter 243: The North Koreans Arrived
Since the second year of Yongle in Tianjin, the military department has placed a fort at the mouth of Dagu, erected the "screen of Tianjin Gate", and locked the key into the Beijing waterway.
In the 27th year of Tianyou, the north and south forts were built, more than 30 cannons were placed, and 2,500 soldiers were stationed.
At the beginning of the 41st year of Tianyou, Zhu Qinde ordered the expansion of the fort and placed a total of 64 cannons, of which 34 new guns were new artillery with a range of four and a half miles.
The warm breeze of early spring gently blew on the Dagu River, making people feel a little spring, and Jia Jue couldn't help but tighten the cloak on his body.
"Master Hou, what if the North Koreans are dead-eyed? Shoufu explained that he wanted to send the Li family and the accompanying Joseon family to Shenjing safely. The king of Joseon is not a three-year-old child, let alone has been in charge of the Korean state for more than 30 years, if he rebels, or agitates those Korean families..... You can't put a knife on their necks! β
Li Nan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at the river, and then said to Jia Jue, who was sitting on a chair fishing.
Jia Jue handed the fishing rod to his own soldiers, looked at Li Nan for a while, and said with some displeasure: "I told you, don't call me Master Hou, it's taboo!" β
"But..... Be! Xia Guan understood. β
Li Nan lowered his head, he understood Jia Jue's mood, the general military position was cut, the first-class marquis was demoted to a first-class earl, and the emperor robbed 20,000 elite veterans, and then was impeached by the Hanlin Academy, Guozijian and the Qingliu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is news that some officials who were originally attached to the Jia family have also betrayed, and even the Jia family chamber of commerce has also been impacted, some chambers of commerce with a background have united to suppress the Jia family chamber of commerce, and the Jia family chamber of commerce has lost nearly 10,000 taels of silver in just two days, and now the two parties are still engaged in a price war, and the people of Shenjing are very happy.
Originally, Jia Jue should have returned to Shenjing to take revenge, but a holy decree made him stay, the North Koreans came, and the emperor asked him to entertain him well and send the people to Shenjing Caishikou safely.... Ahem, Protocol House.
Jia Gui caught three fish in the river, one in each hand, and one in his mouth, and sent the fish ashore with the help of his own soldiers, and climbed up himself, a gust of wind blew, freezing him all the way to the fire to roast the fire, and the soldiers cleaned up the fish in three or two clicks, inserted it on an iron skewer and roasted it on the fire, and a personal soldier was responsible for sprinkling spices on it.
Looking at the fish that was constantly roasting on the fire, Jia Jue said: "You and I are like this fish, roasted on the fire by the emperor." Seeing the bitter look on his face, he smiled, "Hey..... No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as His Majesty's henchman, how did you receive such an errand? Speaking out, I am also happy and happy. β
Li Nan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Back to my uncle's words, I met people I shouldn't have seen and said things that shouldn't have been said." β
Jia Yu smiled secretly: "Jia Yucun is really a eunuch?" β
Li Nan was helpless: "Maybe." β
Jia Jue was silent, and then asked, "I heard that Li Yuanzheng is now diagnosing the emperor's pulse alone?" β
Li Nan: "Yes." β
Jia Jue's eyes lit up, nodded, and then asked, "I also heard that the three old ladies are sick?" β
Li Nan was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect my uncle to be so well-informed, you will know what happened the day before yesterday now." β
Listening to Li Nan's words, Jia Jue just smiled, rolled up his sleeves, took the grilled fish handed by his own soldiers and took a bite, the meat of this fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the heat is just right, the most important thing is that it is pure natural wild fish, without any pollution.
Looking at Li Nan's bitter face, Jia Jue handed the remaining half of the fish to Jia Gui, he just wanted to satisfy his tongue, and then turned his eyes to the dock, and then glanced at the bodies of those officials, and said to Li Nan: "Since Your Majesty acquiesced to the military's plan, North Korea has ceased to exist, and you don't have to be too polite later, just lock up the Li family, as for those scholars, heh.... Being able to live in the Heavenly Dynasty is a blessing that they have accumulated in ten lifetimes, of course, if someone is unwilling, it means that his life is a small blessing, and he should cope with this disaster. β
Hearing Jia Jue say these words without any scruples, Li Nan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, who let the North Koreans meet the wrong person at the wrong time, and this person is about to lead a large army to level the entire North Korea.
"Hey!" One of the pro-soldiers suddenly let out a stop sound.
Jia Jue turned his head to look, and Li Nan also followed the prestige, only to see that the former North Korean envoy Kim Zhixiu was blocked by his own soldiers.
Jin Zhixiu: "The lower officials have something important to report, please ask your uncle for permission." β
Li Nan: "Maybe it's really important. β
Jia Jue waved his hand at the pro-soldier, and the pro-soldier got out of the way, and Kim Zhixiu walked over.
Jin Zhixiu walked to the fire, first sorted out the five-grade civil official robes and uniforms of the Ming Dynasty on his body, and then gave Li Nan a salute, turned to Jia Jue and bowed deeply.
Jia Jue just nodded.
Li Nan waved his hand: "What's important?" β
Jin Zhixiu stepped forward with a smile on his face: "I just remembered something from the official, which may be detrimental to the plan to control the Li family." β
Li Nan was a policeman: "Oh? β
Kim Zhixiu: "For the safety of the palace, the Li clan has raised some marksmen, these people can use the horned bow to accurately kill the enemy at a distance of two hundred and twenty paces, and the most elite samurai can even shoot an ultra-long range of two hundred and forty steps. β
Hearing him say this, Li Nan's face changed, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" β
Jin Zhixiu snorted for a moment and replied: "Back to Li Shilang's words, the lower officials were busy with errands and forgot about ......"
Jia Jue waved his hand: "Okay, let me tell you, the Dagukou garrison has collected all their weapons and seized the Korean warship they were on, and the people came by troop transport." β
Jin Zhixiu sighed: "These warriors are loyal to the Li clan and have a violent personality, if they want them to surrender, it is estimated that it will be difficult, they will inevitably resist with all their might, and the lower officials are really worried!" β
Jia Jue replied vigorously: "The entire dock is within the effective range of the self-generated firebolts. β
Li Nan saw that Jia Jue looked indifferent, and suddenly seemed to want to open up, took a fish under the vicious gaze of his own soldiers and began to eat it, and couldn't stop praising his craftsmanship.
I don't know who whispered: "It's coming!" β
A low horn sounded on the river, and several merchant ships bearing the names of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households, consciously or unconsciously, began to avoid both sides of the river.
Two troop carriers occupy the middle of the Dagu River!
Li Nan: "What a majesty! β
Jia Jue smiled: "This is not called prestige, this is called rules." β
Li Nan was choked back.
As he spoke, the fleet had already approached the Tianjin wharf.
Everyone's eyes looked over, only to see more than a dozen guns lined up in two rows of continuous fire, and then the eight drums beat at the same time, the trombone sounded in unison, and the suona flute played the music.
Jia Jue frowned: "Jia Gui, listen, what kind of music is this playing?" β
Jia Gui listened carefully.
The sound of music came from the pier, clear and pleasant.
Jia Guile said: "Third master, isn't this the "Spring Festival Song" played by Lichun!" β
Jia Jue nodded, it was really embarrassing for Li Nan to come up with such an idea.
The fleet leaned towards the dock, and Li Nan and Jin Zhixiu, who had just arrived, led a group of officials down the dock and greeted them.
The two troop carriers stopped against the pier, the gangplank was also set up, a team of Ming soldiers walked down with swords, stood in two columns on the dock, and followed by a group of samurai in strong suits walked out, this should be the marksman in Jin Zhixiu's mouth, and then, an old man dressed in the costume of Prince Ming appeared, it was the king of Joseon!
I have to say that the Ming Dynasty was too generous and merciful to these vassal states, and a county king actually wore a prince's dress, and the key people really dared to wear it.
Jia Jue's smile was still bright at this time, his eyes looked at the dock, and he asked Jia Gui: "You say, who will worship whom later?" β
Jia Gui solemnized his face: "Uncle is a Qincha with the emperor's order, so naturally the king of the Korean county kneels down to worship you." β
Jia Jue: "You, you." It's not good to learn from anyone, but I prefer to learn from Mrs. Jiao. β
The soldiers laughed.
Jia Gui also smiled.
Such a big pomp made the North Koreans feel very faced, and the king of the Joseon county led several members of the royal family to walk quickly across the gangplank and greet Li Nan and Kim Zhixiu.
A group of people touted for a moment, and Li Nan and Kim Zhixiu accompanied the king of Joseon on the left and right, and boarded the shore.
North Korean officials and members of the family who followed behind noticed a group of Ming troops running up the steps first, separating them from the royal family.
When the last member of the Joseon royal family stepped onto the pier, the Ming army led the North Korean officials and family members directly to the other side of the pier, where more than two dozen carriages were parked.
The king of Joseon glanced at it and asked, "Why?" β
Li Nan smiled: "The king of the county, please, the uncle is still waiting." β
Seeing that Li Nan didn't answer, the king of the Korean county was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned to Jin Zhixiu: "What's going on?" β
Kim Zhixiu did not have stage fright: "Please follow the arrangement of Lord Shilang." β
The face of the king of the Korean county sank: "Are you talking to Gu?" β
Kim Zhixiu did not back down and said loudly: "Please obey the arrangement of Lord Shilang." β
The king of the Korean county thought that with his own prestige, he could make this anti-bone boy soften if he was scared, but he was not afraid and dared to fight-for-tat after he didn't want to have the official body of the Ming Dynasty, his anger suddenly rose, and he looked at Li Nan again: "Li Shilang, His Majesty the Great Emperor attaches great importance to the relationship with North Korea, and has always respected the laws of North Korea very much, and never interferes in the domestic affairs of North Korea. This thief committed a serious crime in Wang Jing before he sent the Ming Dynasty, and asked Li Shilang to hand him over to Gu for disposal. β
Li Nan: "Oh? That won't work either! Jin Langzhong is a cabinet appointed by the Ministry of Rites, and the county king has no power to dispose of it. β
The king of Joseon's face turned pale, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay..... All right..... Then Gu said to His Majesty the Great Emperor, are you doing what is in order? β
Jia Jue looked bored, yawned, and said to Li Nan: "What words, talking for so long?" β
Li Nan immediately answered: "If you go back to your uncle, the king of the county will go to your majesty to impeach me and others." β
"The king of the county wants to impeach Ben Shuaiβ" Jia Jue deliberately dragged out his voice.
The face of the king of the Korean county was crooked, and he said loudly: "Speaking of which, you are targeting Gu and North Korea. β
At this time, those Korean warriors in strong costumes rushed forward and ran to the side of the Korean king to protect him.
"Presumptuous!" Jia Gui and the others pulled out their knives together.
Jia Jue immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "What is hidden in your sleeve?" β
All the samurai fell silent, and one by one they turned their eyes to the king of Joseon.
Jia Gui was a little impatient, and waved his hand: "Search!" β
The king of Joseon in the crowd was taken aback, and the two shou eyebrows were tightly twisted.
Looking at the Ming army that surrounded him, a leader: "The king? β
The king of Joseon didn't talk, just waved his hand.
Seeing this, the leader waved his hand to the samurai around him, and then stretched out the hand hidden in his sleeve, and each of these samurai actually hid a fast child, and the defenders at the mouth of Dagu were too careless.
Seeing that the soldiers had collected the "weapons" in the hands of these people, Jia Jue looked at the sword on the waist of the king of Joseon again, and then glanced at Jia Gui.
Jia Gui stretched out his hand, "Sword." β
The face of the king of Joseon flashed with anger, and then became calm, took off the sword at his waist, and said to Jia Jue: "I heard them say that you are a nobleman, and I am also a nobleman, I hope you can give me the respect I deserve." Also, don't embarrass my family. β
Jia Jue: "How can it! Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a small country with an independent regime, and it is up to the emperor to decide how to deal with you. β
The face of the king of Joseon turned even whiter, "YouβWhat do you mean by this?" β
Kim Ji-so trembled imperceptibly, and his heart suddenly hung up.
Jia Jue didn't seem to take into account his state of mind at the moment, and said directly: "The imperial court has mastered all the evidence of your Li family's crimes, and what awaits you will be the judgment of the Ming Law." β
Kim Ji-so's face immediately darkened.
The king of Joseon was shocked, his eyes slowly swept to Kim Zhixiu, and he immediately understood, and the sword in his hand was suddenly drawn on Jin Zhixiu's face, and he roared filial piety: "You cheap breed who eats inside and outside!" β
There was a blood mark on Jin Zhixiu's face, and a wisp of blood came out of his nose, this guy sneered and said, "You still have a son, I think you left it on Ganghwa Island, it seems that you don't believe in the Celestial Empire." β
After a pause, "That's what you forced me to say." β
The face of the king of the Korean county changed sharply, and his eyes were straight to Kim Zhixiu: "What are you talking about?!" β
Jin Zhixiu ignored him anymore and said to Jia Jue: "Uncle, he still has a concubine son who didn't come, he must have left it on Ganghwa Island, and those seals and other items must have been left behind, he is harboring evil intentions, so he didn't believe it......"
"Shut up! You shut up! The king of Joseon pulled out his sword, but was knocked away by Jia Gui's sword, kicked him to the ground, stepped on his head, and said to Jia Jue: "Uncle, do you want to cut off his dog's head." β
At this moment, the leader crashed away from the personal soldiers standing beside him and rushed towards Li Nan, who was closest to him, Li Nan was stunned and motionless, just at the moment when he was about to strangle Li Nan's neck, "Peng!" With the sound of fire, the leader's head exploded, and blood and brains flew sideways, splashing Li Nan's head and face.
Jia Jue glanced at the white smoke in his hand, and sneered: "If there is another abnormal mover, cut it!" β
The warriors in high gear didn't react and still stood there, and the Joseon royal family fell to their knees with their heads in their hands as early as the fiery guns rang out.
Jin Zhixiu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and looked at those people carefully, turned his gaze to the leader who was killed, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle, these are not marksmen, but dumb slaves raised by the Li family. β
Jia Jue opened the mouth of a samurai, and sure enough, there was no tongue, everyone was stunned, this Korean royal family is really not a thing, I have never seen such a bad person, and they all looked at the Korean county king who was trampled on the ground by Jia Gui, this is a pervert of his mother.
At this time, Li Nan came back to his senses, then his body trembled, his hand covered his chest, and with a "wow", he vomited all the fish he had just eaten and the morning meal!
