Chapter 158 Landing on Jeju Island

The success of the Seoul mutiny was only expected for Zhu Zhanjuan.

So he did not stay in Incheon and wait, but took the fleet directly south to Jeju Island.

As for the soldiers of the Ming army who helped Li Bao mutiny, they were under King Ning. Zhu Zhanjuan only sent Fan Zhong to do this.

After all, King Ning did not have a general who could handle such a thing. Fan Zhong was once someone who followed Zhu Di anyway, and he knew how to handle things like mutiny with appropriate measures.

Precisely because of this, both Zhu Zhanquan and Prince Ning felt confident leaving this matter to him.

Zhu Zhanjuan can also safely lead the army to continue southward. After all, time waits for no one. Now the wind direction on the sea has begun to change. If we don't hurry up, we will really hit a typhoon.

Although Zhu Zhanjun is not afraid of typhoons, in this world where spiritual energy is scarce, even with the body of a true dragon and the cultivation of a real Jindan, it is very laborious to eliminate a typhoon.

If it was not necessary, he did not want to directly fight against Tianwei with human power.

In the final analysis, it was just a matter of him leaving a few days early, and there was really no need to use his magic power for this.

The voyage from Incheon to Jeju Island is very short. Even though Zhu Zhanjun led a huge fleet, the fleet arrived at Jeju Island three days later.

The huge fleet that came from the sea shocked the North Korean garrison on Jeju Island, and they felt like they were in constant panic.

Because Jeju Island is also a newly recovered territory for North Korea. Before Li Fangyuan succeeded to the throne, it was still the territory of the Yuan Dynasty. During the period when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, Jeju Island was the private territory of the Mongolian Yuan royal family. Even if the Mongolian Yuan royal family lost After arriving in Dadu, he came here to stay temporarily in order to plan a comeback.

Jeju Island, also known as Tamna Island, was an independent country in history. Historical books call them Daoyi, Dongtu, Haidongyi and Zhouhu.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Goryeo destroyed Tamna and established Tamna County there. Soon after, Tamna was renamed Jeju.

Later, the Mongols conquered Goryeo and included this place into the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

"History of the Yuan Dynasty" records: "The pastures range from Tamluo in the east, Huoli Tuma in the north, Gansu in the west, Yunnan and other places in the south, there are 14 places, from Shangdu, Dadu to Yuni Boya, Zhelianqing Du'er, traveling thousands of miles around is nothing more than pasture."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Yuan Dynasty was about to retreat, Emperor Yuan Shun sent people to build a palace on the island in an attempt to turn Jeju Island into a place of refuge.

But before the palace was completed, Emperor Yuanshun fled to the grassland, and Jeju Island became an enclave.

Goryeo wanted to regain Jeju Island several times after that, and even specially submitted the "Tamna Plan Report" to the Ming Dynasty, asking for Jeju Island at the cost of continuing to pay tribute to horses to the Ming Dynasty, but it was never able to defeat the Mongols on the island. Succeed.

It wasn't until the 25th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty that the country had switched from Goryeo to North Korea, and North Korea successfully invaded Jeju Island and recovered it.But even so, the Mongols on the island, the criminals exiled by the Ming Dynasty, and others still refused to accept the rule of the Koreans. They would resort to violence and non-cooperation from time to time, which can be said to cause a lot of headaches for the Koreans.

In addition, horses were raised to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that North Korea has always maintained a large-scale army on Jeju Island.

However, this does not give comfort to the North Korean officers stationed on Jeju Island, because with their small army, they can cope with the resistance of the Mongols and Ming Dynasty criminals on the island. If they really want to fight the Ming Dynasty's army head-on, they must have this ability It would not have been until the 25th year of Hongwu's reign that Jeju Island was conquered.

Therefore, in the face of the Ming army's behavior of building strongholds after landing on the island, although the officers of the North Korean garrison still remembered that they had the responsibility to defend the land, they really did not have the courage to stop the Ming army's actions.

He had received intelligence from the country before and knew that the Ming army asked for Jeju Island to build a stronghold.

Originally, this matter didn't have much to do with him. As long as he followed the orders, he could do whatever the superiors told him to do. Although this broken island was conquered only after exhausting efforts, in the eyes of the officers stationed there, this broken place was really dangerous. Nothing good.

But he didn't want to worry about it, but the civil servants on the island seemed to be sacrificing their own righteousness, which really gave the officer a headache.

It is not surprising that there are civil servants on Jeju Island. After all, after it was recovered by the Koreans, they did set up a government office to govern it.

The officer originally stationed at the station didn't think there was anything wrong with this civilian official. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the civilian official except being more arrogant. After all, it was normal for civilian officials to be more arrogant.

But now he seemed to be trying to save the Ming Dynasty by driving the Ming army into the sea, and even wanted to capture the vassal king who led the Ming army. He wanted an explanation from the Ming court, which really made the garrison officers feel numb.

How many dishes are so drunk?Not to mention that there are at least four to five thousand soldiers coming from other people's army. If you can gather two thousand soldiers and a few hundred civilians, you will be able to stand up to the sky. The key is that if you really capture the Ming Dynasty vassal king and go to the Ming court to explain it, Korea is the day. But is that enough?

According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the king only has the title of a Ming Dynasty prince, which is lower than the Ming Dynasty vassal king. Where do you have the face and courage to go to the following criminals to ask for an explanation? ?
The officers stationed on the guard were very sure that regardless of whether they could catch the Ming vassal king, just by doing so, if the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to destroy North Korea, it would be regarded as a fire in the ancestral grave of the North Korean royal family.

Therefore, the officers stationed on the garrison did not get used to this civil servant. After having him tied up and locked up, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads, prepared gifts and went to see the Ming Dynasty vassal king.

The officer stationed on the garrison has a very clear and clear positioning of himself. He is just a small person and no one can afford to offend him.

But if he had to make a choice, it would definitely be the Ming Dynasty vassal king that he could not afford to offend, because the entire country of North Korea could not afford to offend other vassal kings.

As for the Ming Dynasty occupying the land on Jeju Island to build strongholds, 20 years ago this was the land of the Ming Dynasty. This land was requested by the King of Korea from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty wants to use this land now, and North Korea still wants to use it. What opinions can I have?
Besides, even if North Korea has an opinion on this matter, it cannot be expressed by a small garrison officer. It requires the big shots in Seoul to make a decision.

All he can do is to please the Ming Dynasty vassal king, not to offend this noble man who the whole of Korea cannot afford to offend, and then report the matter to Seoul. As for how the big shots in Seoul will handle this matter, that is not his. Something happened.

If the big shots in Seoul wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, then he would have no choice but to die to serve the country, but before that, he had better take care of himself first.
