Blood from Daming

Chapter 484 Gwanghae
The cabinet minister Jin Zidian and the military judge Jin Shangrong looked at the vast sea, and there was no shadow of the Ming Dynasty warships at all, so they had to leave half of the troops to clean up the mess on Ganghwa Island. Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong went back to the south of the capital overnight. Hanshan City, after a night of running around, I rushed back to Namhan Mountain City the next day.

Regardless of their fatigue, Jin Zidian and Jin Sangrong immediately went to the palace to meet the king of North Korea, Li Ji. The king was waiting for Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong. Zi Dian and Jin Shangrong discussed matters in person in the imperial study.

Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong met the king Li Ji in the imperial study room, and stated the battle that took place on Ganghwa Island, and handed over a letter from the leader of the merchant ship escort team of the Ming Dynasty. The two of them reported on the situation of Jianghua Island, and read the letter from Wang Erwa, the leader of the merchant ship convoy of the Ming Dynasty.

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, held back his anger and asked, "You two love ministers, what do you think of this matter?"

Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong looked at each other, and the cabinet minister Jin Zidian said: "Your Majesty, the merchant ship convoy of the Ming Dynasty is now adrift with the rebels in the sea, and our Korean navy has suffered heavy losses. It may be very difficult to recapture the rebels, but The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty aimed to trade, so as long as our country opens trade with these private merchants of the Ming Dynasty, there is a lot of room for rebellion against the rebels."

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, looked at Jin Shangrong, the judge of Bingcao, and Jin Shangrong, the judge of Bingcao, said, "Your Majesty, the private merchants in the Ming Dynasty did not have many soldiers, but why are they cruising on the sea, and all their subordinates are people on the road, so they are really powerless."

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, was silent for a while and said: "My dear ministers, if Gu agrees to see the mutual trade of Incheon Port, can private businessmen hand over the rebels?"

Jin Shangrong bowed his head and said nothing, and the cabinet minister Jin Zi hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it should be difficult."

The king of Joseon, Lee Jae, asked, "Sir, why is that?"

Cabinet minister Jin Zi replied: "My lord, because our country refuses to trade, private businessmen or the Xue family of the Ming Dynasty directly intervene in our North Korean state affairs in order to achieve the purpose of solving economic problems by political means, regardless of whether our country finally agrees to trade with us or not." , Private merchants and the Xue family have rare goods to live in, and they will definitely not hand them over to the traitors easily."

The king of North Korea, Li Yan, said sternly: "Private merchants and the Xue family are holding traitors. If Gu does not trade with them, what can they do with Gu?"

Jin Shangrong hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Xue family of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to the generals in the upper kingdom. Not only the Xue family's sea escort team is strong and the guns are strong, but the Xue Polu army in the West Ping'an Road is even more unstoppable. Not to mention the Xue family of the Ming Dynasty. Leading tens of thousands of people in the Datong Mansion of Shangguo, if you offend such a Chinese clan, if you use the rebels to stir up trouble, it will be a great disadvantage to our country."

The cabinet minister Jin Zi pointed out: "Your Majesty, Jianghua Island is dedicated to its duties, and the private merchant Xue's family has fierce firearms, which cannot be resisted by manpower. I also hope that Your Majesty will send them down lightly."

The king of North Korea, Li Yu, knew in his heart that even the elites like the Jianlu Eight Banners were still disgraced against Xue Polu's Xue family army, and how much his own army weighed. I knew that Li Zhen himself was still cautiously dealing with the Xue family army in Pingan West Road. He didn't expect to offend Xue Yun, the killer, because he refused to open and close the trade to please Jianlu. If Xue Yun used Guanghai Lord Li Hui to make trouble, his throne would be destroyed There is danger, thinking about the private discussion with Concubine Renmu last night, I think it is better not to overly stimulate Xue Yun of the Ming Dynasty, and consider opening and closing trade with the merchant fleet of the Ming Dynasty, so as to ease the relationship with the private merchants of the Ming Dynasty and the Xue family.

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, asked: "You two lovers, you have reported that Xue Yun was seriously ill in Datong Mansion, an important town on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, so who is in charge of Xue's family now?"

The cabinet minister Jin Zi pointed back and said: "Your Majesty, whenever the warlords of the Jin Kingdom are recruited by the court to respond, there are many people who say that they are not in the court. Xue Yun is really sick and sick, just look at the reactions of his subordinates, but this time he brought a military ship to our country Mr. Wang Qian used to be the captain of Xue Yun's personal army, so it seems that the rumors of the Xue family's army fighting in the Horqin tribe are not credible."

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, felt powerless after hearing what Jin Zi said, so he could only hold back the grief and indignation in his heart and said, "Then please trouble your two lovers to deal with the private merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and have a good talk with the Xue family of the Ming Dynasty about the traitor. , all in all, the stability of North Korea is the most important thing.”

The cabinet minister Jin Zidian and the soldier Cao judge Jin Shangrong took the order to leave. The Korean king Li Ji was upset that he was caught by a local warlord in the Ming Dynasty, and after he was beaten, he had no strength to fight back. This is really the tragedy of a small country. Now it seems that people in the Ming Dynasty were not all frugal and obedient. Li Zhen was captured by Jian, and the Xue family in the Ming Dynasty was dizzy. In addition to the misfortune of Guanghai Lord Li Hun, Li Zhen regretted it. Why didn't I kill him to avoid future troubles? It's too late to say anything now. Thinking about the two beauties given to him by Concubine Renmu last night, Li Yu finally let go of his troubles and went to those two beauties to have a good time.

The cabinet minister Jin Zidian and the soldier Cao judge Jin Shangrong got the news from the clan general Li Shu in Incheon Port that the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the sea of ​​Incheon Port again. The cabinet minister Jin Zidian and the soldier Cao judge Jin Shangrong rushed to Incheon Port, through contact with the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty on the sea, Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong got the opportunity to go to the Ming Dynasty military ship for talks, so Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong boarded the small boat rowed by their men. Ming Dynasty warships on the sea outside Incheon Port.

The warship that Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong boarded was the flagship of the Xue Family Army Second Fleet, and Wang Erwa, Wu Yang, and Luo Erwa were on board. Wang Erwa only allowed Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong to board the ship After a brief observation of the ship, Jin Zidian and Jin Shangrong knew that the North Korean navy was no match for Xue's army in terms of artillery or morale. Wang Erwa took them into the cabin and started negotiations.

Jin Zidian first proposed the return of the abolished Lord Gwanghae and Li Hui. Wang Erwa made it clear that Li Hui, the North Korean Gwanghae, was seriously injured and has now returned to Hangzhou for treatment. I've gotten news from Jianghua Island since then, but as long as Lord Guanghai and Li Hun don't die for a day, don't say that the king Li Ji can't worry about it.

So Jin Zidian continued to mention the matter of Guanghai Jun and Li Hui, but Wang Erwa refused Jin Zidian's request to return Guanghai Jun and Li Hui on the grounds that Guanghai Jun and Li Hui had gone to Daming Hangzhou. North Korea can send someone to meet with its mistress, Vice President Yan, to discuss matters concerning Li Hun, Lord Gwanghae.

The two sides have nothing to talk about except Guanghai Lord and Li Hun. Jin Zidian will not benefit the Xue family, and Wang Erwa who is negotiating is even worse. He only needs the right to trade with North Korea, so Jin Zidian Pointing to the fact that Xue Polu was stationed in North Korea, Wang Erwa said that Xue Polu's troops would withdraw from North Korea as soon as possible. The Chinese fleet does not mind continuing to punish North Korea.

Jin has already accepted Wang Erwa's suggestion from the bottom of his heart, but he still spent a long time soaking mushrooms with the two leaders of Daming Xue's family, Wang Erwa and Luo Erwa, together with Jin Shangrong, the judge of Cao Cao, arguing over the details for a long time , and finally agreed to open the Incheon Port for fair trade, known as the "Incheon Agreement" in history.

The "Incheon Agreement" signed by the North Korean State to the Ming Xue family in August of the sixth year of the Apocalypse opened the North Korean State's Incheon Port for commercial transactions. Opened by the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Xue family obtained the exclusive navigation and trade rights of the North Korean country. Since then, the Korean country has also got rid of the unilateral tribute trade. This is unanimously believed by many North Korean experts in later generations. It made North Korea enter capitalism ahead of time, becoming a small dragon that took off in Asia, and established an economy that overwhelmed Japan, a fellow vassal state, in one fell swoop.

The next transaction went very smoothly. The merchants in North Korea couldn’t find a way out for their commodities. The two parties hit it off and started trading. Like Ming Dynasty porcelain, raw silk, silk, cotton cloth, linen, pottery, sugar, dried and fresh fruits, iron blocks, copper and iron utensils, valuable furniture, silk products and other items.

Some North Korean merchants are not rich, so they secretly send North Korean girls on board to exchange goods. The businessman saw that the transaction was completed, and there were three or four hundred more Korean flower girls when they boarded the ship and returned to Hangzhou, and most of these Korean girls were willing to come to Daming.

Xue Yun is very satisfied with the performance of Wang Erwa, Wu Yang, Luo Erwa and the Second Fleet and the Marine Corps, and encourages them to continue to strengthen military training. Xue's army's attack on Taiwan Island has entered a countdown. As long as the cold wind blows from the north, it will be Xue's army The clarion call to attack Taiwan Island can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is needed.

In order to inspire the blood of the officers and soldiers who fought across the sea, Xue Yun recorded the meritorious service of the officers and soldiers who went to North Korea this time, and buried 27 of them who died in battle on Xiaochangtu Island, and built the tombstones of the martyrs to commemorate them. This form became the later Xue Jiajun The standard mode for honoring fallen soldiers.

Xue Yun met Li Hun, the deposed king of North Korea, Guanghai Lord Li Hun in his Yan Sanniang's yard. Guanghai Lord Li Hun was blind, but he still maintained the demeanor of a country's king to some extent. Xue Yun knew the status of Guanghai Lord Li Hun The shin injury was not very serious, but out of politeness, Xue Yun still expressed his concern to Guanghai Jun Li Hun.

Then Xue Yun said through an interpreter: "Mr. Guanghai, this general expresses deep sympathy for what happened to you. This time, my subordinates took you out of the sinful place of Ganghwa Island. It is a pity that Yuan Guanghai was not rescued. Concubine and Yuanzi, this general is very sorry, I don't know what Guang Haijun has planned for his future."
