Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 721 Disaster is about to come
"My lord, if we go on like this, the result will definitely not be very good. Now Xuanzhen has [-] troops on the border, and these [-] soldiers, even if you add up all the people in North Korea, they are not their opponents.

Your Majesty, the gap between us and Xuanzhen is too big to bridge, Your Majesty, please think again! "Zheng Jingshi was impassioned and kept persuading the King of Joseon.

Things have developed to the present scene, and Zheng Jingshi knows what North Korea will face if he does not surrender.

To a certain extent, Zheng Jingshi's persuasion of the North Korean king Li Ji to surrender was not all for the country and the people, not all for North Korea.To a large extent, he is more for himself.

In Zheng Jingshi's view, if the King of Joseon did not surrender, the soldiers and horses of Xuanzhen would definitely attack.

At that time, the king of Joseon will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.These people are officials of the King of Joseon, and they are also the most loyal officials of the King of Joseon.

When the soldiers and horses of Xuanzhen cleaned up the king of Joseon, they would definitely take away people like themselves.

If the King of Joseon surrendered, then these officials would basically survive safely.

Therefore, for their own sake, officials such as Zheng Jingshi hoped that the King of Joseon would surrender.

Just as Zheng Jingshi finished speaking, Jin Yan went on to say: "My lord, I have been to Xuanzhen. I am invincible, my lord, surrender!"

"Father, the two adults are right. We are not Xuanzhen's opponents, let's surrender." Fenglin Maharaja Li Hao also began to persuade.

Li Jing was restless in his study, walking back and forth.

No one will give up the rights in their hands easily, and some people even go all out to keep the rights in their hands.

Li Jing also didn't want to give up the rights in his hands. He didn't want to be like the vassal king of Ming Dynasty, becoming a waste who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

But when Li Zhen himself faced Xuanzhen, he was terribly afraid. He was afraid that Xuanzhen would destroy North Korea like a ruin.

The current Li Jing is a combination of contradictions. He neither wants to hand over the power in his hand, nor does he want to face Xuanzhen's soldiers.

Li Jing was extremely entangled, and kept thinking about what to do.

Cold sweat began to flow from Li Tan's forehead, and under the constant persuasion of Jin Zhen and others, Li Tan's heart became more and more flustered.

Li Jing stopped, supported the back of the chair, and panted heavily.

The candle on the desk was burning quietly, and the red fire light reflected on Li Zhen's face.

Li Zhen's breathing became louder and louder. Finally, he sat on the chair and sighed heavily.

Li Zhen's heart became more and more chaotic, more and more chaotic.

Apart from Li Zhen's breathing, there was no other sound in the study.

The gazes of Jin Yuan and the others never left the Joseon King Li Yan, the air seemed to freeze, making Jin Yuan and the others breathless.

"Forget it, let it be. Ants live by stealth, let alone widows?" Li Zhen's words drained all his strength, and after he finished speaking, he slumped on the chair, out of shape.

Jin Yu and the others were relieved after hearing Li Tan's words.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Jin Yan and others hurriedly flattered Li Tan.

"Jin Aiqing, Zheng Aiqing. After dawn tomorrow, you two should hold a court meeting for the widow and explain this matter. At the same time, make a surrender form and send it to Xuan Town as soon as possible." Li Zhen said weakly.

In the dark night, Jin Yan, Zheng Jingshi and others walked out of the palace.

Jin Yan stood on the square outside the palace, looked back at the dark palace wall, and then left quickly.

Jin Yan got into the carriage and headed towards his home.

"Currently, it is uncertain whether surrendering to the new dynasty is a good thing or a bad thing for North Korea. But for an official like me, the benefits are still great." Sitting in the carriage, Jin Yan sighed a long time.

Officials like Jin Yan have broken the sky, and they are only North Korean officials.North Korea is such a big place. Although the official position sounds good and looks quite big, it's just that.

On North Korea's side, he is still an official, but if it is placed in Xuanzhen, he is a rural official.

Jin Yan took this situation very seriously, and Jin Yan felt that North Korea's surrender this time would also be a turning point for officials like them.

That is, from now on, these people are not only people from North Korea, but also people from the new dynasty.

Although there is only a difference of two words, the things they represent are very different.

If you become a member of the new dynasty, you may become an official of the new dynasty in the future.The officials of the new dynasty are much more majestic than the officials of North Korea.

The territory of the new dynasty far exceeds that of the past. Judging from the current development trend of the new dynasty, it will be the most powerful empire on this land.

Being an official in this kind of empire, even a small one, is better than being an official in North Korea.

In Jin Yan's view, even though he may not be able to become an official of the new dynasty now, it does not mean that he will not be able to become an official of the new dynasty in the future.

If you can't make it yourself, one of your sons and grandsons will always be an official of the new dynasty.

If North Korea did not submit to the new dynasty, it would never be an official of the new dynasty, nor would future generations.

Early the next morning, Jin Zhen and Zheng Jingshi held a court meeting instead of Li Zhen.

At the court meeting, Jin Yu and Zheng Shijing spoke out Li Zhen's plan and surrendered to North Korea.

After Jin Yu and Zheng Jingshi announced this result, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have any objections, and they all agreed with Li Ji's proposal.

After the end of the court meeting, Jin Yan and Zheng Jingshi jointly formulated the surrender list.

Three days later, Zheng Jingshi, Jin Yan and Li Hao boarded a boat and headed for Xuanzhen.

Unlike the last time we went, Jin Yan and Li Hao felt much more relaxed when they went to Xuanzhen this time.

Zheng Jingshi, as a member of the company, was going to Xuanzhen for the first time.

Along the way, Jin Yuan and Li Hao kept telling Zheng Jingshi how good and powerful Xuanzhen was, which made Zheng Jingshi's heart itch.

As soon as Jin Yan and others arrived in Xuanzhen, they handed in the surrender form.

Jin Yan and others were arranged in the post house, which is the post house in Xuan Town.

Jin Yan and Li Hao had been to Xuan Town last time and lived in a post house, so they didn't make any fuss.

But Zheng Jingshi lived in this kind of place for the first time, and he was very curious about the various furnishings in the post house.

Especially the toilet was an eye-opener for Zheng Jingshi.

When Zheng Jingshi saw the flush toilet made of ceramics for the first time, he kept feeling: "It's amazing, it's amazing. It is worthy of being a kingdom of heaven, it is worthy of being a kingdom of heaven. Even the toilet is made of ceramics, which is great!! !"

Sitting in the imperial study room, Zhao Wen looked at the surrender form sent by Jin Yan and others, with a relaxed look on his face.

For Zhao Wen, taking North Korea in a peaceful way is the best result and way.

Zhao Wen put the drop watch in his hand aside, and looked at Chen Donglai who was standing beside him.

Zhao Wen wasn't surprised by North Korea's surrender, so he wasn't too surprised, after all, it was a very normal thing.

"Bring Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian!" Zhao Wen said.

Chen Donglai hurried out of the imperial study.

Not long after, Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian sat in the imperial study.

Zhao Wen looked at the two people sitting across from him, and said, "This is a surrender form sent by North Korea. Presumably you all know about North Korea's surrender!"

Zhao Wen pointed to the watch placed on the table, and looked at the two of them.

Liu Wenzhong nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, I already know about this matter."

"I also know about this!" Qi Qingtian replied.

In the eyes of Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian, North Korea's surrender was a very normal thing, so there were not many surprises.

"North Korea surrendered, although no force was used, but we will face many things. North Korean officials have to be replaced, local garrisons have to be arranged, and defenses have to be changed. People like the king of Joseon have to make good arrangements.

After the two of you go down, make a detailed plan on these issues, and the time should not be too long. Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian and said.

Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian stood up, bowed to Zhao Wen, and said, "Obey!"

"Okay, you guys go down!" Zhao Wen waved at the two of them.

"Yes!"

Liu Wenzhong and Qi Qingtian withdrew.

……

"Your Majesty is really a Majesty who has never appeared in thousands of years. We can have this kind of life now, thanks to His Majesty!"

On the sea not far from Java, a lucky boat sailed quietly on the sea.

A sailor stood below the mast, shouting to the sailor standing beside him.

It will be summer soon, and Java is close to the equator, so the weather is much hotter than that in the mainland. The sailors on this lucky boat are basically bare-armed.

"Hey, you're right. Which of our ships dared to go to Java easily? Let alone Java, even if you go to Taiyuan Island, you are worried. Now it's all right, even if you come to Java, it's nothing thing.

Going to Java now, as long as you work hard, you can make a lot of money.There are more people going to Java, and those of us who run boats will earn more. "

The two sailors chatted under the mast with one sentence for you and one sentence for me.

Because of the favorable wind, the two of them were not busy, squatting under the mast, chatting and killing time.

The sailors on the blessing boat took advantage of this time to sneak in and take a break.

The boss of the ship came out of the cabin. He looked at the lazy sailors on the deck and didn't say anything.

If you go to Java nowadays, you won't encounter anything at all.

The pirates were wiped out, the Red Barbarians retreated, and the Frangji on Luzon huddled on it and did not dare to come out, and the Javanese navy patrolled the sea from time to time.

All in all, the current route to Java is as safe and comfortable as a bathtub in your own backyard.

The boss of the ship stood on the deck. He looked at the calm sea ahead and took a deep breath of the salty air.

The boss of the boat is in his early 40s, from Fujian, and his name is Lin Haitong.

Because of Zheng Yiguan, the merchants here in Fujian joined Zhao Wen's Maritime Association a long time ago.

The face of the boss of the boat is full of gullies outlined by the wind and rain, and a pair of black eyes are deep.

This lucky boat belongs to the boss of the boat. This time he went to Java, the boss of the boat pulled a boatload of daily necessities such as cotton cloth and soap, which were loaded onto the ship in Dengzhou.

These things are in high demand in Java today, and they can make a lot of money by selling them in the past.

"Brothers, we will arrive at the Old Port in two or three days. If you keep going, I will give you two days off when you arrive at the Old Port!" Lin Haitong turned around and shouted loudly at the sailors on the deck.

Lin Haitong was not dissatisfied with the appearance of these sailors.These people have been busy on the ship for many days, and now it is normal to take a rest while the wind is calm, and there is no need to press every step of the way.

"Thank you sir!"

The sailors on the ship shouted at Lin Haitong with a smile.

Lin Haitong took out a booklet from his arms, squatted under the eaves of the cabin, and flipped through it.

The cover of this booklet is blue, with four big italic characters written on it - "Heavenly Craftsmanship".

This booklet is Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Originally, Song Yingxing didn't want to write this book, because Song Yingxing felt that he had no way to compare with Zhao Wen. Even if he made "Heavenly Creation", it would be just a trick in front of Guan Gong, and it would be of no use.

However, after Zhao Wen's instructing, Song Yingxing felt that he could turn "Heavenly Creation of Things" into a book explaining new technologies and new things in Xuanzhen.

The content doesn't need to be very advanced, it just needs to explain these new things in Xuanzhen clearly.

In this way, Song Yingxing's workload was much reduced, and Song Yingxing also gained confidence.

It didn't take long for Song Yingxing to finish writing "Tiangong Kaiwu" and publish it.

For Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation", Zhao Wen is also encouraging.

After "Tiangong Kaiwu" was released, it became extremely popular, and it was quickly sold all over the country.

When Lin Haitong went to Dengzhou to load goods this time, he just discovered "Heavenly Creation".Lin Haitong was deeply attracted by the content of this book at that time, so he bought "Tiangong Kaiwu".

"Tiangong Kaiwu" has a total of three volumes, the first, middle and lower, which introduce in detail all kinds of novel things and new crafts in Xuanzhen.

The book in Lin Haitong's hand is the first volume, and Lin Haitong put the second and second volumes in the cabin where he slept.

Lin Haitong looked at the above content intently, and there was an expression of sudden realization on his face.

At this moment, a sailing battleship suddenly appeared on the sea.

This sailing battleship is relatively small, because of its small size, it is fast.

There is no logo on this sailing battleship, nothing, and it is impossible to tell which sailing battleship it is from the outside.

A sailor on the Fuchuan spotted the sailing battleship, but he didn't care about it.

Because the sailing battleships of the Java Navy can often be seen on this sea.

The sailing battleship also spotted the Fuchuan, and kept approaching the Fuchuan.

The sailors on the lucky boat and Lin Haitong, the boss of the boat, didn't care too much, and continued to do their own things.

Everyone on Fuchuan didn't care about this sailing battleship, no one would think that this sailing battleship was in any danger, they were all busy with their own affairs.

Misfortunes are coming gradually...
