In the coalition barracks, after listening to what Xu Wen said, Lin Qingye quickly became extremely dignified: "The last general understands...... This battle must be resolved quickly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Be more cautious." Xu Wen couldn't guess what the would-be plans were, so he had to tell Lin Qingye repeatedly.

At the same time, when the army to pacify the Japanese departed, the atmosphere of fear in Seoul seemed to dissipate. Except for a little follow-up at the meeting on the streets, everyone was quickly relieved about the Japanese invaders.

No matter how powerful the Japanese are, there will be at most one or two thousand people. Even if they go deep into the interior to cause trouble, they will definitely be exterminated. Even if the North Korean army is not at ease, the Ming Dynasty also sent a total of 7,000 soldiers and horses, and it is really easy to capture a small Japanese robber.

With the risk of safety removed, everything seemed to return to the time of peace.

The time arrived on June 1, 278 of the Ming Dynasty. In five days, there will be a series of extravaganzas in Seoul.

A total of two events attracted the attention of everyone in the city. One is the money-making event that attracts the attention of the common people and high-ranking officials: the Seoul Trade Fair.

The merchants who came with the royal car, the expedition company and other maritime merchants joined in, taking advantage of the east wind of His Majesty the Emperor's state visit, the whole country was paying attention, and in recent days, the whole city was full of inns, and even the number of people who joined their relatives increased several times.

Relying on such a grand event, countless people are looking forward to making a lot of money from it.

Similarly, in Sungkyunkwan, Myeonglun Hall has also begun to be renovated to accommodate more people to observe. can be met, and the Minglun Hall will definitely be full by then. Unlike the more down-to-earth Seoul fairs, the Seoul trade fair was crowded with Korean officials, scholars, scholars, and royal dignitaries. All in all, the elite of this country.

Without him, the person who will give a lecture here will be His Majesty Zhu Cihong, the Great Emperor of the Ming Empire.

It was here that the emperor was about to take part in his last public event in Korea: lecturing.

For His Majesty the Emperor, most Koreans have the impression that he is, first and foremost, an outstanding military strategist. He pacified the forces of the family faction in Korea, defeated the Qing army, destroyed the Qing state, pacified the civil strife, and made great achievements. However, when His Majesty the Emperor announced that he was going to give a lecture, everyone realized Zhu Cihong's other identity.

He was an emperor, which meant that in addition to the military, he was the highest echelon of political power in the empire. Now, His Majesty the Emperor is about to arrive in Sungkyunkwan to deliver a speech that is destined to leave a mark on the history of the world—the future of this world.

……

When peace was restored in Seoul, the allied forces that left Seoul slowly slowed down and entered Yangpyeong-gun.

They began to set up camp and liaise with local officials in Yangping County. The gentry in the city were supplied with military supplies, and they were curious about the Ming army's presence in the fields outside the city.

After all, the military discipline of the DPRK army is not good. If there is a chance for the North Korean army to enter the city, it will definitely be a chicken-fly dog jump.

Xu Wen saw the county guard in the tent, was polite, accepted the reward, and casually asked about the military situation.

"Fortunately, the army came early...... "The county guard Pan Fengwen is a middle-aged scribe who is pampered and well-maintained, and at the moment he is speaking stiff Chinese, and sighs: "I heard that the Yuanzhou next door is ...... There are already traces of the Wakos. ”

"It's so fast?" When Xu Wen heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Although the Japanese have always dared to kill in close combat, how can the siege of the city be so simple?" I think the city defense of Yangping County is also good, all the way from Jiangling here, is it possible that there is not even a big city that can block the Japanese invaders? ”

"It's a shame to say that ......" Lin Qingye interjected at this moment: "Until now, we still can't confirm who the leader of the invaders is and how many people there are. And, according to the news I just got, this time the Japanese are ...... The situation is very different. ”

"Oh?" Xu Wen remembered the Anti-Japanese War during the Jiajing period.

Sure enough, Pan Fengwen began to mention the power of the widows this time with a solemn face.

"They opened warehouses to release grain and give to the people, and tens of thousands of people were pulled up in an instant. Especially this time, the banner of the Japanese is anti-Ming...... And it's not so tyrannical, and there are few killings. According to the available information, there are quite a few Japanese who have come back this time. But there are also many North Koreans, and even ...... Han ......"

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and understood the key point.

This is actually quite similar to the ravages of the Japanese in the Jiajing period. It is not so much that the Japanese invaders were really strong overseas wandering Japanese samurai, but rather that it was because the southeast coast, which withered after the ban on maritime trade, was seriously unemployed, and the people were struggling to make a living, so the Japanese invaders were rampant, but attracted many people to follow them.

In addition, many large households had many contacts with maritime merchants because of maritime trade, and because of the ambiguous attitude of smuggling trade during the Anti-Japanese War, so that the trouble of the Japanese invaders became more and more serious.

"The Japanese have been trying to break the trade blockade of the Ming Dynasty. A few years ago, some Western merchants joined forces with Zheng Zhilong to supply, and the demand for raw silk in Japan was quite normal. However, as the national strength of the Ming Dynasty became more and more vigorous, the situation of daring to smuggle became more and more rare. "Xu Wen, as Jiangling of the Marine Corps, is naturally well-informed.

Of course, there was one more piece of news that he didn't say.

The expeditionary company actually opened a route to Japan, and even sent Wang Fuzhi, a diplomatic envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, although the retaliation of the trade blockade can be explained as a reason, in fact, if you think about it, you will find that there are logical inconsistencies.

The Ming Dynasty was already interested in reopening maritime trade, and it was obviously unwise to provoke at this time. There will be nothing good other than to anger His Majesty the Emperor. It is also a far cry from the original intention of reopening maritime trade.

"So, that makes sense." Pan Fengwen didn't know about Wang Fuzhi and the expeditionary company, and when he heard it at this moment, he suddenly realized: "I also found out a lot of news, and I heard that this time the Japanese invaded, for this trade ban, trying to force North Korea to ...... with the Ming Dynasty."

Lin Qingye and Xu Wen laughed almost at the same time, Pan Fengwen felt a little embarrassed, but he also understood what the two meant.

"You want me to give in, huh...... The Japanese are too arrogant. Xu Wen said, and suddenly saw Lin Qingye's lieutenant and an intelligence division in a flying fish suit hurriedly running in.

I only heard the two of them whispering in the ears of Lin Qingye and Xu Wen.

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly said goodbye to Pan Fengwen and went to the military intelligence exercise hall next door.

"Is the information credible?" Xu Wen couldn't help but ask, with shock on his face.
