For Emperor Tianqi, he really doesn't care about the Houjin in the north now.In fact, Emperor Tianqi didn't take them seriously after time travelling.If it weren't for the combination of various factors, they would have no hope of winning the world at all.

But at this time, they can't ignore it. Although they don't understand military affairs, they can't be allowed to get North Korea, that's for sure.If there is a logistics base in North Korea, Emperor Tianqi will also find it a little tricky.However, Emperor Apocalypse didn't think it was a good time to carry out large-scale military operations against Hou Jin.

An imperial envoy was sent to pass the imperial decree to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Liaodong. As for what to do, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was better to let him make a decision.There is no need to delve too deeply into such small fights.However, the imperial court still regards this matter as a major event, and another major event is to mint silver coins.

When Emperor Tianqi was busy, the entire island of Taiwan was also busy. After three months of integration, Zheng Zhilong finally changed the team in Taiwan.Combining his own power and Yan Siqi's power, Zheng Zhilong's Shibazhi already has a hundred warships.Among them, there were forty main warships, two for each Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong kept four for himself.

Although the rest are all small boats, they already have an advantage in number!There are forty main warships, each of which is a large ship equipped with ten artillery pieces.For a while, the reputation was greatly shaken, and it became a new big force in the Taiwan Strait.

Although it was originally a mainstream force, it is still much weaker than Li Dan, let alone the more powerful Dutch.At this time, the Spaniard's fleet has arrived at the chicken coop in Taiwan. This is to break through the Dutch trade blockade against the Spaniards in Manila.For a time, the Taiwan Strait was turbulent, and there were often frictions between various forces. A big war was obviously inevitable.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong should be in Taiwan to reorganize his fleet, but he is not in the mood now.He is on his way to Japan.Because he just got the news that his adoptive father Li Dan was critically ill, and he was in Japan.After receiving the news, Zheng Zhilong was very hesitant, should he go to Japan?

But soon Zheng Zhilong made a decision, he must go!Li Dan has already revealed the meaning.After his death, he will hand over the overseas fleet to himself.Although his business is inherited by his son Li Guozhu, the overseas fleet will still be handed over to him.What he wants is also very simple, that is, to protect his son as much as possible after his death.

There was no delay along the way, and soon Zheng Zhilong saw Li Dan on Li Dan's boat. At this time, Li Dan had long lost his original wise temperament.The face is very haggard, and the whole person looks like he is dying.

Seeing Li Dan's appearance, Zheng Zhilong hurried to the bedside, tears streaming down his face instantly.With a trembling voice, he said, "Father!"

"Yiguan, you're finally here. If you come later, I'm afraid you'll never see your adoptive father again!" Li Dan slowly opened his eyes when he saw Zheng Zhilong, and said tremblingly with his shriveled lips.

"Father, no! It will be fine. I brought the best doctor, and you will be fine!" Although he was thinking about Li Dan's family business in his heart.But Zheng Zhilong still has feelings for Li Dan.Seeing Li Dan in such a mess at this time, I still couldn't bear it.

Shaking his head with difficulty, Li Dan smiled bitterly, and said: "Father has been content in this life. He has been poor and rich. When he was young, he never thought that he would be where he is today. Even if he goes now, he has no regrets. "

Zheng Zhilong didn't speak, Li Dan held his hand tightly, panting heavily, and then continued after a while: "However, foster father still has some things to worry about, and you know Guozhu. He is not the one who commands the fleet. It’s okay to do business. The adoptive father can’t hand over the overseas family business to him, and I can rest assured only if it’s in your hands.”

"Father, Yiguan believes that Guozhu can do it, and Yiguan will help him!" Zheng Zhilong glanced at Li Guozhu who was standing aside, and said softly.

"Yiguan, I understand my son, you don't need to object to this matter anymore." He waved to his son and said in a serious voice: "You must not resent Yiguan because of this matter, he is your Brother, you have to respect him from now on!"

Li Guozhu can let it go, he knows that things at sea are not that simple!Father didn't want him to be too risky, and the Li family no longer had to risk their lives.If you guard your current family business, you can become a rich man.Hand over the fleet to Zheng Zhilong, and he can do business under his protection.

"Father, don't worry! Your hard-working child understands that I will definitely keep the family business you left to me. The fleet will be handed over to a brother-in-law!" Li Guozhu's words are not so much for Li Dan to hear, as for him Zheng Zhilong listened.He was telling Zheng Zhilong, I will definitely keep the Li family's business, so don't pay attention.As for the fleet, my father has given it to you, and I, as a son, can't object, but you have to know that enough is enough.

For Zheng Zhilong, Li Dan's fleet was what he was interested in. As for the Li family's property, he really didn't pay attention.As a person who has been traveling the sea for many years, Zheng Zhilong knows very well that in this sea, combat power comes first.As for business, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't, you can grab it, that's much faster than doing business.

What's more, the Taiwan Strait is very unstable now. The Dutch, the Spaniards, and the Ming court are all staring at this place. The key is to improve your combat power quickly.Being able to happily accept Li Dan's team is more important than anything else.As for other things, all can be discussed later.

Glancing at Li Guozhu, Zheng Zhilong turned his gaze to Li Dan again, shook Li Dan's hand vigorously, and said, "Father, don't worry, I, Zheng Zhilong, have received great kindness from my foster father, so naturally I will not be ungrateful. Whatever you eat, you will have a bite to eat."

"Okay, okay!" Li Dan was very satisfied with his son's performance, and also very satisfied with Zheng Zhilong.In such a mood, Li Dan finally closed his eyes.

In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, on the sixth day of the seventh month, Li Dan, who traveled across the Taiwan Strait, passed away.At this time, Zheng Zhilong finally had the strength and prestige to dominate the Chinese forces in Taiwan Strait, and the entire Taiwan Strait ushered in a new era.

Although the overall armament is not as good as the Dutch and Spaniards, but Zheng Zhilong's foundation is here, with a large number of people!The three-legged situation has officially formed in the Taiwan Strait!

Regarding North Korea, Emperor Tianqi actually didn't know what to say, because North Korea had just experienced a coup, and this was the famous Injo anyway.Anyway, Injo was a palace coup that happened on the twelfth day of the third month of the Guihai year, which was the third year of Tianqi, during the reign of King Gwanghae of the Joseon Dynasty.This coup was led by the Western People's Party, and finally deposed Gwanghae-jun and put Nyayang-jun on the throne. It was Joseon Injo.

In the 36th year of Wanli, Gui Chou was imprisoned, and Lord Guanghai killed Lord Linhai, Lord Yongchang and others who threatened his throne, and the Western People's Party also lost power as a result.In the 40th year of Wanli, Concubine Renmu was also softened. This was opposed by many courtiers, and Mr. Guanghai dismissed many Taiwan admonishing officials.During the war between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Lord Guanghai pursued a neutral attitude, which also caused dissatisfaction among the officials.

On March 300th of the third year of Tianqi, the Western People's Party led 2000 people from the northeast of the city to attack Hanyang, and received the response of training [-] people from the capital prison.The rebel army invaded the palace, deposed Gwanghae-jun, and supported Gwanghae-jun's nephew, Lingyang-jun, as the king of Joseon Injo.Injo exiled Gwanghae-kun to Ganghwa Island.

This was originally an incident of power grabbing within North Korea. It seems that it has little relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but there is a lot involved in it.Because of the need to maintain orthodoxy, Daming did not take a supportive attitude towards Mr. Guanghai's succession to the throne, which also led to Mr. Guanghai's dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty.

However, because of the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not have the mind to deal with North Korea, because at this time, a large-scale battle broke out between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, which was the famous Battle of Saerhu.In the battle of Saerhu, the Ming army was defeated, and the offense and defense of the Houjin were out of position, and the power in Liaodong was greatly weakened.

On the issue of enthronement, Lord Gwanghae was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, so he advocated flexible diplomacy without offending the Ming Dynasty as much as possible.At the insistence of Mr. Gwanghae, Chosun sent a letter to Hou Jin, saying that his submission to the Ming Dynasty was "a righteousness, and of course unavoidable." It is better to seal off the frontiers and repair the old ones."The exchanges between North Korea and Hou Jin aroused the vigilance of the Ming Dynasty. Minister Xu Guangqi said: "The friendship between North Korea and the slaves has been closed" and suggested that officials be sent to "guard the country".Mr. Guanghai was startled and frightened when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent envoys to Beijing to "defend the false accusations".

In fact, Mr. Gwanghae has worked hard since he came to the throne, implemented internal reforms, worked hard to stabilize people's livelihood, and was forced by national strength to conduct two-way diplomacy externally to strive for actual interests. This is also no way.He promulgated the Datong Law, exempting people without land from paying grain to the state. Since then, only landlords have to pay grain to the government. Therefore, the Datong Law is an innovative bill to relieve the poor.

In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, Mr. Guanghai is a capable ruler who wants to strive for the greatest benefit between Houjin and Ming Dynasty.At the same time, strengthen yourself as much as possible to get rid of Ming's control over North Korea.But his luck is not very good, North Korea is really learning from Daming so much, even the party struggle is not wrong.

The Western People's Party in North Korea is a diehard loyalist of Ming Dynasty, and they will not allow a ruler who violates etiquette and harms his own interests to exist.So there was this coup, and North Korea returned to the hands of the Western People's Party.They soon broke off diplomatic relations with Hou Jin and completely returned to the embrace of the imperialist family of the Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, Dorgon must teach North Korea a lesson, so there was this war.On the one hand, it wants to get rid of the overwhelming power of Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it also hopes to regain the support of North Korea. (To be continued..)
