Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 851 Release People Immediately (Fifth Watch)
Jeju Island was originally a place controlled by the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty perished decades later, the officials who managed Jeju Island surrendered to the Koryo State, and then it was merged into the territory of the Koryo State, and two counties were established.

It is located on the sea at the edge of the Koryo Peninsula, and it is a desolate place even in the country of Koryo, and it became a place for exiled prisoners.

The son of the Koryo king, Li Yi, and his wife, Jiang Shi, wore coarse clothes and plowed the fields with hoes on their shoulders. There were Koryo officers and soldiers wandering around the farm with knives across their waists.In addition to Li Yi and Jiang, some Korean reformers were also exiled to this farm.

"Jin Zidian seems to have escaped. I wonder if he can find reinforcements for us?"

"Now that the entire imperial court is hostile to our reformers, it is estimated that Jin Zi wants to ask the Kyushu Army of China to come and help."

"I saw that night that the Huaxia merchants bought off the officers and soldiers here, and took out the gold points. At that time, the Huaxia merchants paid a hundred taels of silver bills as soon as they made a move. The officers and soldiers looked straight at them."

"Huaxia merchants are really rich. Sure enough, being rich can turn ghosts around."

"Isn't it? The Huaxia businessman is willing to spend money to rescue Jin Zidian, which shows that Huaxia is willing to help us!"

Some exiled reformers whispered privately.

"Husband, I haven't seen Jin Zidian for a long time, has he gone out?" Jiang asked Li Yan.

"I don't know how he got out." Li Yan put down his hoe and looked at the sea below the mountain.

"Didn't your husband let him escape?" Jiang asked.

"Of course not. The father was just angry for a while. I believe that when he understands the importance of change to our Koryo country, he will definitely send someone to come and put me back. The scholar-bureaucrats in the court don't understand that the times have changed. , if we don’t make changes, we will fall behind this era,” said Li Yi.

"But my husband, I'm afraid those pedantic literati don't understand your painstaking efforts. Even my father opposed you in the court, and even I was regarded as a traitor by him." Jiang said.

"That's because we went to the Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning, we saw what the future should look like, and they are still indulging in the court to fight for power, really pedantic." Li Yan hugged the young wife, struggling Said.

The Jiang family, who is also from Korea, also studied in the Liaonan Academy of Sciences, and the family behind the Jiang family is a big family in the country of Korea. Whether it is because of a political marriage or Li Yi's personal wishes, the Jiang family has naturally become a his wife.

It's just that the younger generation of them who studied abroad were regarded as heretics by the civil official group and were suppressed together.

"Husband, what do you think is that?" Jiang suddenly exclaimed.

Li Yan followed the direction pointed by Jiang, and saw sail shadows appeared on the sea level, and thirteen ships appeared in their sight!

The thirteen ships were flying the Qinglong flag of the Navy Department of the Kyushu Army!

"The warships of the Kyushu Army, why did they appear here?" Li Yan, who had stayed in southern Liaoning for several years, was very familiar with the warships of the Kyushu Army. Merchant ships of Chinese merchants!

"Could they be here to pick you up, husband? The reinforcements that Jin Zidian brought in?" Jiang looked up at Li Yan.

"Maybe it's really Jin Zidian who went to find the reinforcements from the military master. The military master knows that I am in trouble, so he will definitely send someone to rescue me."

Seeing the warships of the Kyushu Army appearing on the outskirts of Jeju Island, Li Yan thought that things might be a big mess this time.

The reformers, officers and soldiers on Jeju Island also discovered the Kyushu Army warships that suddenly appeared in the waters of Jeju Island!
More than a dozen ships of the Kyushu Army blocked the ports entering and leaving Jeju Island, and the artillery of the sail battleship was aimed at Jeju Island!
"Is there anyone who can speak Chinese!?" The officers and soldiers on Jeju Island panicked.

They know that only the Kyushu Army has such a warship in the entire sea area!

A small boat was lowered from the Daqi, and several Beiyang Fleet soldiers rowed the small boat to land first.

The officers and soldiers on Jeju Island either held guns or swords, and they were very afraid of the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet who came ashore.

"Those of you who can speak Chinese, please come out." The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet were not at all afraid of the Koryo defenders who were far more numerous than themselves.

A Koryo officer was pushed out by the crowd and asked nervously, "Why did your warship of the Kyushu Army appear on our Jeju Island?"

"The prince of Koryo is a friend of our military master. Our military master heard that the king of Korea exiled the prince, so he sent us to pick up the prince and return to Hanjing. Please hand over the prince." Said the soldier of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Do you have the pardon from His Majesty the King of Korea?" the defenders of Jeju Island asked suspiciously.

"No, our muskets are the amnesty." Beiyang Fleet soldiers coldly took off the muskets behind them.

The defenders of Jeju Island were shocked and raised their shields and swords one after another.

"Please release Wang Shizi immediately, otherwise our fleet will storm Jeju Island, and our reinforcements will continue to come here from southern Liaoning. Please consider the consequences." Beiyang Fleet soldiers said.

The Goryeo soldiers who can speak Chinese explained the intention of the Beiyang Fleet to their companions, which caused an uproar among the defenders of Jeju Island.

There are more than 200 Koryo defenders on Jeju Island, and together they are only equivalent to the number of warships in the Beiyang Fleet. Do you want to defend Jeju Island under the siege of [-] warships?It is simply impossible.

"They don't have His Majesty's pardon. If His Majesty Wang Shizi is released without authorization, His Majesty the King and officials in the court will blame us in the future, and we might be executed!"

"But if we don't release people, we may die in battle now... The law does not punish the public, so is it possible that the court can punish more than 200 of us?"

"This is a matter of integrity. If the Kyushu Army asks us to release people, we will release them. Wouldn't we have to listen to them in everything in the future?"

"Do you want a backbone or a life?! It's not a fart if you don't have a life!"

The defenders of Jeju Island argued.

"Have you discussed it? We don't have so much time to listen to your arguments. Either hand over the man or start a war." Said the soldier of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Please give us more time to discuss." Said the Korean soldier who can speak Chinese.

The defenders of Jeju Island argued for a while, and finally the general manager here made a compromise to them on behalf of all the defenders: "Please come with us, Wang Shizi, you can take it away, if possible, I hope Please explain to His Majesty the king that our Jeju Island defenders are not unwilling to resist, but that our strength is too different."

"Don't worry, when we meet the king of your country, we will speak well for you," said the soldier of the Beiyang Fleet.

　And it will be released before the fifth watch tomorrow, and the tenth watch will be the tenth watch yesterday. .
