The royal convoy marched out of the Beijing Division, but did not go towards Tanggu Harbor as before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They pressed slowly all the way towards Liaodong.

For the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, the whole country is naturally very concerned.

Li Banghua even had to come and go back and forth to admonish him bluntly, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could consider a safer land route. Even, in a series of notes, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but find the old story about the Korean envoys who pleaded for tribute to Beijing by land.

For the suzerainty of this era, tribute was an important act to signify the relationship between the suzerainty and the suzerain. In general, Koreans pay tribute four times a year. However, although North Korea and the Ming Dynasty had a very close relationship, in the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty continued to reject the Koreans' pleas to reach the Ming Dynasty by land for a long time.

Without him, Liaodong was still a strategic military place at that time, and it was the front line of the struggle against the Mongols, and this kind of place was naturally not suitable for outsiders to enter.

For North Koreans, of course, there is a very real issue – security.

Every time the sea route is broken, a storm or a loss will make the fleet disappear in the vast sea, and when it is seen again, it is already in the beach where the ship is wrecked and the people are killed.

There was no doubt about the courtiers' concerns, and there was no doubt about the safety of the land routes.

But apparently......

Our Emperor His Majesty has never been a man who is willing to calm this life.

Wu Fu, the minister who followed the royal car, smiled bitterly, looked at Gao Mingheng, who was looking at him with a wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, this task of letting us cover is not light......

His Majesty's Imperial Majesty was empty, except for a fluttering letter.

……

Above the Yellow Sea, the waves are rising.

A clipper ship broke through the waves, and the clipper, which had gathered the best skilled soldiers of the naval division, arrived at the military port next to the port of Incheon, calmly and quickly.

His Majesty the Emperor stretched his waist, and on the side, Ning Wei twisted his brows and held on to the mast of the Fubo, looking at the slowly approaching Incheon Military Port, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived safely." Ning Wei said to Zhu Cihong.

"But, looks like someone over there is in trouble." Zhu Cihong glanced at the port of Incheon, not far from the military port, when a lucky boat with the flag of the sun and the moon and the dragon was about to dock, he suddenly found that countless fishing boats were swarming away, and they all occupied the port of Incheon.

Ning Wei glanced at it and immediately recognized that something was wrong.

"These fishing boats are not normal." It was Qi Yuan, the commander of the First Fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division, who gave up his pen during Zhu Cihong's lecture and saw the problem with his sophistication: "First, the order is too neat. I suspect someone in the port is calling the shots. Second, if it is a fishing boat, it is too rare to gather on a commercial port. They are generally in their respective villages, and Incheon Port is not a fairyland on earth for ordinary small fishermen. When the boat is dismantled, it is common for people to throw it into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head, and he also thought of this section.

Qi Yuan seemed eager to try, and it seemed that he obviously wanted to take a bad breath for his compatriots in the motherland.

After all, others didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor had arrived in Jingshi in advance, but he knew it. These short-sighted sticks swept His Majesty's interest, and he naturally had to clean up.

Compared with the army, the sailors have not had a good time in recent years.

That is, because of the Great War against the Qing Dynasty, the expansion of the naval division's warships was quite smooth. But compared with the army, which has repeatedly made war exploits, the sailors can obviously only earn one hard work.

With such hard work, Qi Yuan is obviously not satisfied.

Seeing that the people who came up together at the same time were either knighted or full of glory, but he was guarding the fleet and watching his compatriots nest fire, he was naturally unwilling.

Zhu Cihong did not speak in a hurry, the fleet docked, and the tense and orderly welcoming ceremony was launched.

His Majesty the Emperor stayed in the barracks all the way, and the temporary camp was quickly restored.

One by one, official documents were sent to China in batches by sea and land. Similarly, there are also many institutions around His Majesty the Emperor. For example, he quickly contacted Wei Yunshan, who was a thousand households in Jinyiwei Korea.

As the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, he has gradually completed the work left by the North Town Fusi back then.

Jiannu has been extinguished, and the northeast is reclassified as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, that is, North Korea, and because Zhu Cihong has laid the foundation for one battle after another, it is no longer used by Jiannu.

Under such circumstances, the internal division of Jinyiwei considers North Korea to belong to the domestic category. Zhang Zhen also began to select a group of elite soldiers and began to go towards Nanyang and Japan.

Leaving aside these details, Zhu Cihong sent letters and official documents to China to report safety and restore contact. Similarly, Wei Yunshan also quickly reported to Zhu Cihong with the Jinyi Wei General Banner of Incheon Port.

"It's a coincidence, Li Yan and Wu Sangui...... Got together? Zhu Cihong touched his head and felt that this world was too wonderful.

That feeling was as if Guan Gong was fighting Qin Qiong.

Li Yan was the person who was the original Shun army, while Wu Sangui was the main force of the Shun army in the Stone War, which rewrote Chinese history. But now, they are all merchants of the expeditionary company, expanding their territory in Korea together.

And such a wonderful world was created by Zhu Cihong.

Thinking like this, Zhu Cihong glanced at Qi Yuan, who was still eager to try, and said, "These two are not fuel-efficient lamps, Qi Aiqing wants to be in the limelight, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

When Qi Yuan heard this, he said helplessly: "In this way, I want to see what kind of fame these two can make." ”

After saying this, Qi Yuan suddenly looked at Zhu Cihong quietly, but felt that this one was more noisy than those two.

After all, it is estimated that in the imperial driving team that has just gotten on the Liaodong railway, all the ministers are probably full of distress and worry......

Thinking like this, Qi Yuan suddenly looked forward to it.

……

After getting off the big boat and changing to a small boat, Wu Sangui and his party arrived at Incheon.

It's a small city, but it's very crowded and lively. People came and went, jumping on their burdens, shirtless, shouting slogans and selling things, all kinds of people shouted, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Sangui couldn't understand many of these words, he would have thought that he had come to an ordinary country town.

"It's all Shandong." Li Yan glanced at it and recognized that the cloth on many of the people was from Shandong.

Shandong is close to North Korea, and Linqing is now thriving, especially the garment workshop is very famous, and it is exported to half of North China.

Naturally, it quickly radiated to North Korea as well.

"It's just a little bit worse, it's all big road goods." Wu Sangui also glanced at it, squinting his eyes, thinking of something.

"Boss, shall we find an inn first?" Li Yan asked.

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "We are also organized, register for a name, and go to the Liaodong Hall." ”

After asking a few more people for directions along the way and scattering a few coppers, Wu Sangui arrived at the Liaodong Guild Hall.

This is a well-known place that can be found all over the country, and of course it is not a scenic spot, but an existence such as a townsman association + a merchant association.

As the Ming province closest to North Korea, the development of border trade is several times more convenient than that of Shandong.

With the gradual subsidence of the war, the commerce and trade of Liaodong also developed rapidly.

After the war, Liaodong urgently needed a large number of cattle, and Korea was suffering from the long-term calamity of building slaves and cutting off trade. Naturally, the people of Liaodong were more convenient than the people of other places to do business in Korea.

What's more, when Zhu Cihong Incheon landed in North Korea, he also left a large army in Phoenix, and since then, Liaodong merchants have begun to be active in North Korea.

Therefore, most of the big cities have Liaodong guild halls. This is just like the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty, there are such existences as Huguang Hall and Guangdong Hall.

Liaodong Hall is located in the most prosperous central area of the city, the door occupies eight places, the door hall is wide open, standing four big men with big chests and big bellies, a pair of eyes scan the people on the street, and the idle people are afraid to enter.

But obviously, these four people are not the kind of people who don't approach the world's faces with strained faces, and when they saw Wu Sangui coming, they changed their colors one after another.

"How many people dare to ask are the old people of the Ming Dynasty?" One person said in Liaodong official language.

Wu Sangui bowed: "The next is surnamed Wu, a person from Guanning, who went to Incheon to do business, and wants to stay in your place, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”

"Guan Ning? That's an authentic Liao person. What's wrong with that? Distinguished guests, please come soon! An old man walked out of the door again, and said with a smile: "In Xialiang Xinli, today's duty hall, several of them are fellow villagers and neighbors, and they should help each other in a foreign land." In my opinion, there is no need to find any inns and restaurants, just live in this hall, just use it as your own home! ”

"In that case, I'll call Liang Weng below. There are also some greeting gifts prepared below, please accept them. With that, Li Yan carried a gift box and entered with a few doormen.

Wu Sangui and Liang Xinli entered the Liaodong Hall one after the other.

The ground of the Liaodong Hall is not small, and there are many houses. Seeing this, Wu Sangui also directly told the trouble he had just encountered, and casually asked about the abnormalities here.

When Liang Xinli heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "I have also heard about the affairs of Incheon Port. Those fishing boats did not happen to be gathered in the harbor. How do small ships need to occupy the port of Incheon, which has been operating with great difficulty? It's just that His Majesty gave the North Koreans the renovation of the Incheon Port, but the North Koreans were lazy and greedy, and they only knew how to squeeze the silver, and they didn't think about how to run it. When such a thing happens, there is no one who administers justice. ”

"So, of course, someone is getting in the way?" Wu Sangui heard the style of painting.

Liang Xinli hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, we also received news in Wangcheng, here in Incheon, we have been hiding from the limelight recently. As soon as His Majesty arrives, everything will turn around. The DPRK personnel are sincere and will definitely not harm the Ming Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, Liang Xinli only felt a slight sense of arrogance.

"If you can't start from the roots, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will come this time, and the harder the pressure is, the more violent the rebound will be in the future. What's more, just a thief, waiting for His Majesty to come before he can make a move, it will inevitably make people think that we are really so easy to deceive! Wu Sangui's eyes were burning, as if they were burning.

Li Yan put down the greeting gift, and after a polite look, he went out with two of his men. He was ordered by Wu Sangui to find out the news.

In order to be able to work with peace of mind in the expeditionary company, Li Yan wasted a lot of thought. Especially after knowing that they were going to operate the Korean trade in the future, he studied Korean dialect even hard, and now he walked through the streets, wearing an inconspicuous short robe, found a teahouse, and accosted a cheerful man who spoke to him, ate some wine, and soon got the information he wanted.

Outside Incheon City, Song House.

Bang ......

Li Yan knocked on the door, squeaked, and an old butler came out of his head. When I saw the two strangers, I was puzzled.

"In the Ming Dynasty, if you have something important to visit the head of the family, please pass it on your behalf." After Wu Sangui finished speaking, Li Yan quietly handed over a silver bean.

Sure enough, in a burst of excitement, the door opened. It's just that what makes Wu Sangui feel that this door actually brought people in directly.

Li Yan and Wu Sangui glanced at each other, but they smiled at each other.

"I'm afraid this time's action will be smoother than you and me." After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he met the Song family member in a small pavilion.

It was a rather thin old man, who was playing against another boy of thirteen or fourteen.

The young man was fascinated, the old man obviously had a lot of spare strength, and in the continuous falling, the situation of the young man became more and more passive, and finally had to helplessly throw away the chess pieces, and said: "A few boys, I lost, I won't play this chess, I'll go to study again." After reading it, can Abel teach me how to dismantle the tricks? ”

"Okay, well, there's a guest coming, let's go, child." After speaking, the old man stood up, looked at Wu Sangui and Li Yan, and asked suspiciously: "Two distinguished guests of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what to do when you come to find Song?" ”

"No other...... Just send a sum of money. Li Yan said with a smile.

Wu Sangui made up for it: "Of course, what you need to pay is only a very small thing. For example, the Song's fishing port located near the sea. We need to buy a few houses and rent a marina. ”

……

"What are they talking about?" Zhu Cihong walked on the streets of Incheon, but after walking only a short distance, he felt regret.

This regret does not come from the security guards who follow him, but from the dirty and messy predicament of the ancient city.

At this time, Zhu Cihong somewhat understood why good luck would be shit luck.

In the context of education and health in this era, it is a kind of luck to only step on shit and not other messy things.

For this reason, Zhu Cihong had no choice but to send someone to find a carriage and horse, so he found a nearby teahouse. Zhu Cihong was also familiar with the Korean dialect, so he saw a shop with a teahouse hanging a sign in Chinese characters and went in.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the teahouse seems to be quite lively. Many North Koreans were chattering and talking, and they were quite excited.
