Ming Zuo

Chapter 847

The news that North Korea sent envoys to Daming to ask for help spread from Hanyang on the same day.

Five days later, before Jin Yu set off, Shandong already knew about it.

"With the current situation of the imperial court, there is definitely no way to give North Korea any assistance."

Hou Xun spoke with certainty and confidence.

He is not blindly judging, but has a basis.

"The current emperor is self-willed and doesn't know how to unite people. At the beginning, regardless of Yuan Chonghuan's opposition, he rejected the rewards of the Eastern Mongolian ministries and pushed the Mongols to the Jurchen side. This time, I am afraid that North Korea will also be rejected. outside the door."

For his judgment, Zuo Menggeng could only admire him.

After all, Hou Xun did not know the history in advance, but only analyzed it according to the situation, but it was extremely accurate.

But even so, Zuo Menggeng didn't intend to remain indifferent to this matter.

"If the North Korean envoys arrive in the capital, I don't know what will happen. And if they come all the way west, if they find something, it may affect our preparations."

Fu Xinyuan understood.

"I'll make arrangements right now."

At the beginning of April, the flowers bloom in spring, but Jin Yu, the envoy of the winter solstice, set off early, rushing to Daming with the determination to succeed or succeed.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and being oppressed by Hou Jin all the time, Joseon knew that if he wanted to get out of the predicament, he could only rely on his father.

Therefore, he has always been very concerned about Daming's situation.

The turmoil in the Ming Dynasty over the years has been seen by the North Korean monarchs and ministers.They also understood that Da Ming might not have time to take care of others, and would not be able to control North Korea's life and death.

But father's love is too deep and so beautiful, and it cannot make North Korean monarchs and ministers give up easily.

I always have to work harder and pray that my father will love me again.

Standing at the bow of the boat, staring at the west, Jin Yu frowns.

"Are the gifts that should be prepared ready?"

The people below quickly replied.

"We have already prepared a generous gift. We only need to give it to Mr. Wen Tiren, and it will definitely change Shangguo's mind."

Jin Yu was not so confident.

"I heard that the new emperor has an upright temperament and has his own sense of proportion. I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him."

His deputy also knew that the trip was difficult, so he could only sigh.

"Even if you can't persuade the upper kingdom to send troops, at least you can ask for sulfur and saltpeter to increase your armaments."

Jin Yu nodded silently.

This is the minimum requirement for their trip.

While feeling depressed, the warning horn sounded suddenly.

Jin Yu was taken aback, and quickly looked up.

I saw the sergeants on the ship running back and forth, as if they were facing a big enemy.

"What happened?"

"My lord, there is a boat approaching."

Jin Yu followed the pointer to look, and couldn't help being stunned.

Right in front of them, four large ships were approaching at a high speed, blocking the way.Not only that, but there are also warships approaching from the left, right and rear.

Apparently they were surrounded.

But seeing the shape of the approaching boat clearly, Jin Yu was not so nervous.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, this is the navy of Shangguo."

But the general leading the army frowned.

"My lord, the flag on the ship is completely different from that of the previous country."

At this time, the ships had gotten a lot closer, and the flags and flags waving in the wind were particularly eye-catching.

The rectangular flag is quite different from the pennant flags that are popular nowadays, and it is purely red with a golden sun and moon embroidered in the middle. It is definitely not the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty.

This is the first time Jin Yu encountered such a situation, and he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it.

Soon, the four big ships on the front had already arrived.

Three of them suddenly crossed the hull and opened the side hanging windows, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns.

Seeing this scene, everyone in North Korea felt chills all over their bodies.

There were only a few big guns on their ship, which were completely incomparable with the artillery on the opposite side.

The remaining warship moved closer, and finally drove alongside Jin Yu's ship, with a distance of less than ten meters.

At such a close distance, Jin Yu finally got a clear view of the other side.

A strange short military uniform mixed with blue and white, with a soft cloth cap on his head, and the brim of the hat slightly covered his eyebrows and eyes.The front of the cloth hat seemed to be some sort of emblem, shining very brightly in the sunlight.

What frightened Jin Yu the most was that the people on the opposite boat had pointed their muskets at this side, obviously with malicious intentions.

Especially the man standing in the middle, with only one right eye and a mask on the left eye, looks very ferocious.

"On the other side is Lord Jin Yujin, the Joseon Licao Councilor?"

Seeing that the other party knew his identity, Jin Yu was stunned.

However, the Chinese spoken by the other party made him feel at ease.

"It's the minister of the lower kingdom who hasn't consulted the general yet."

The one-eyed dragon smiled.

"I am Zuo Hua, Minister of the Navy Department of the Shandong New Army. I am hereby ordered by the High Command to invite Mr. Jin to Shandong as a guest."

Shandong rebels!

Jin Yu suddenly realized, his heart was beating wildly.

The news of the rebellion in Shandong has been known to North Korea for a long time.How come so many years have passed, and there is still no eradication?

I thought that sailing on the sea would not be dangerous, but at this time, I was surrounded by groups.

What makes Jin Yu's heart skip a beat is how do these rebels know their identities?And above the vast sea, why did it happen to block me?

He bit the bullet and dealt with it carefully.

"Forgive me, General Zuo. Under the order of our lord, I will go to the capital to kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor. I have important matters to discuss with you. Please be considerate, General. Afterwards, I will offer you a great gift."

Zuo Hua didn't care.

"Are you planning to go to the capital and ask Daming for help?"

Jin Yu couldn't help shaking his hands hidden under his sleeves, and became even more flustered.

At this point, it was finally confirmed that these Shandong rebels were after him, and they already knew him well.

Inside North Korea, there must be traitors colluding with these Shandong traitors.

But even if he knew, so what?
The sea is vast, and there is nowhere to go.I was surrounded by groups, and there was no way to escape.

"Lord Jin, I would like to advise you, it doesn't matter if the capital doesn't go. Daming is too busy to take care of himself now, and he can't save you North Korea."

Jin Yu can only deal with it carefully.

"This is my North Korea's own business, please allow General Zuo to let it go."

Zuo Hua laughed out loud.

"I waited so hard here, camped out for several days, and finally waited for you. Tell me, can I let you pass?"

Jin Yu's scalp was numb, but it aroused arrogance instead.

"Da Ming and North Korea have the bond of father and son, blood is thicker than water. The general wants to drive a wedge between them, but this old man swears to the death."

While being righteous, he quietly waved to the general beside him.Instruct the general to look for opportunities and fight desperately.

But there was no movement around him.

Jin Yu turned his head to look, but his eyes darkened.

At some point, the North Korean sergeants on the ship had thrown away their weapons one after another, and obediently stood aside.

"My lord, those who know the current affairs are heroes, we can't win."

Jin Yu was filled with grief and indignation, he raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground.

Seeing these North Koreans surrender happily, Zuo Hua smiled.

He waved his hand, and his own warship leaned up, and captured all the North Koreans without spending a single shot.
