Dragon Sea Empire

The whole Leshan is up and down.No one mentioned the peace negotiations between the Ming court and the Chinese army.It seems that this banquet.Just entertaining a group of businessmen from the Mainland.

Xu Guangqi held his breath.Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help it.but.It doesn't matter who he catches on the other side.Just a mention about the negotiation.The other party immediately changed the subject.Wang Gu talked about him from left to right.These partners and subordinates of Yin Feng.Those who are eligible to participate in the Leshan Tower Banquet.The Zeng family, such as Xu Hongji and Zeng Yue, were traditional literati.Most of the rest were born pirates and sea merchants.Now they are all high-level figures of the No. [-] maritime armed group in East Asia.In terms of cultural accomplishment, he couldn't compare with the civil servants from the Ming capital.But in terms of knowledge and attitude of dealing with the world.None of them lost to the bureaucrats of the Ming court.When talking about their respective experiences and knowledge.All Chinese companies and members of the Chinese Army can talk freely.Astronomy and geography, overseas wonders, sea adventures, thousands of miles of war and so on.All these days of seeing and hearing experience.It makes the people here seem well-informed.These are not comparable to those Ming Dynasty officials who spent all day intriguing and watching the sky.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand either.The calmness and confidence of Yin Feng and his subordinates.Where did it come from.

In short.Banquet tonight.Although the members of the Daming Imperial Mission and Yin Feng's men got to know each other.But Xu Guangqi and others are concerned about peace talks.Not a word was involved this evening.

evening.China United Corporation headquarters.Yin Feng's study.

Xu Hongji, Zeng Yue, Li Heping, Zeng Rui, Xu Xinsu, secretary You Wenhui and others were all in this room.I am drinking a thick hangover soup.Just now.The big directors of the company took turns to persuade them to drink.Almost all the imperial envoys were poured down.Except that Xu Guangqi has strong self-control and he is old again.Everyone respects him.That's why I didn't deal with him.

Yin Feng didn't actually drink much alcohol.Drink tea slowly behind the desk. "Drunkenness. How it is. Gentlemen. How do these angels look."

"Except for that Cantonese barbarian and Mr. Xu. There is also Qianhu Zhangye of the Jinyiwei. The rest of the people are not very good. Those in the Ministry of Rites. And those few Yushi sitting in the east window. They look like hypocrites." Li Yue, the company's industrial manager and HR manager, spoke first.The son of the former president of the Manila Artisans Guild was feverish from drinking.I was sweating with my chest open.

Zeng Yue moved his butt.A little farther away from Blacksmith Li.Then he said: "Master Xu must have seen through us. He told me privately at the banquet: No matter what conditions we raise now, we can talk about it."

"Did he really say that?" Yin Feng smiled: "In that case, let them hang out for a few more days. Anyway, we have withdrawn from Jiangnan. Our promise to the people of the world has been fulfilled. Now it depends on what the court will do."

Xu Hongji also said: "When we were in Jiangnan, these angels could still make a few troubles. It was because of an accident in North Korea. We urgently needed to stop the war in Jiangnan and move our troops to the north. Now, the negotiation initiative has returned to us. We have to seize the opportunity . Squeeze the Ming court hard."

Zeng Yue saw that Xu Hongji secretly smoothed over his failure in the Jiangnan negotiations.He nodded to Xu Hongji with a smile.Then he said to Yin Feng: "Boss owner. That Jinyiwei Qianhu is not a friendly guy. That Cantonese man surnamed Yuan danced happily in front. This Jinyiwei Qianhu didn't show any signs of dew on the way. But he kept looking at us secretly. .At the banquet. Everyone else was drinking. This guy just kept trying not to get drunk..."

Zeng Rui also said at this time: "Yes. This guy must be pretending to be drunk in the end. There is a big puddle of water under his table... Your Majesty. Will this kid be in trouble?"

"What. You mean they will do something to the owner of the ship. An assassination." Li Yue asked in surprise.

"Impossible. The Ming court wouldn't do that. That's asking for trouble." Yin Feng shook his head.Think back.It seems that after the Song and Ming Dynasties.Political assassinations have rarely been seen in China.If the Ming Dynasty still had daredevils who dared to play Bo Langsha's assassination.It will not be stepped on by the Eight Banners soldiers.

Zeng Yue also shook his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty will not go to war with us now. I have been with them for many days. It can be seen that they are indeed willing to negotiate peace with us."

Yin Feng nodded.He patted the table and said: "Okay. Rui Geer. Send someone to keep an eye on everyone in the imperial mission. Brother Zeng. You are in charge of the reception of the mission. Let them hang in the post first. Three days later. Then talk to They negotiate."

Zeng Rui said: "Then, in these three days, how should we deal with these angels. We can't let them run around in the streets. One is that there are too many people in the city, so there is no reason to monitor their actions. Two, after all, most of the people in this city They all immigrated from the other side. Most of them still recognize the Ming court in their hearts. Let the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty go to the streets at will. I'm afraid there will be trouble..."

Yin Feng smiled: "Whatever you want to do. Anyway, just keep them safe."

……

thereafter.Xu Guangqi and others were first placed under house arrest for a day.Circled in the Anhaiguan Inn and not allowed to go out.

the next day.Zeng Yue led people into the post.It is said that they want to apply for the city pass for the court angels.

"What is a pass. Is it a guide?"

"No. It is a document that all foreigners must hold when entering Taiwan's Hong Kong City. With this pass, you can move freely within the scope of the pass."

Yuan Chonghuan, Sheng Yihong and others were very angry.Refusal to apply for any passport: "We are the imperial envoys. We represent the emperor's power to appease. How can we be compared with those merchants?"

Zeng Yue spread his hands.He smiled and said: "We are on the street here. But the pass will be checked at any time. For the convenience of you going to the street, you should go through it. Of course. I definitely don't want to do it. I can't help it."

Most members of the mission took the behavior of the Chinese Army as an insult.Refuse to handle.Sheng Yihong even yelled to return to Jinling immediately.Suspend negotiations.

On the third day.Only Zhang Ye and Zhou Xiang had the relevant certificates.A few brothers from Jin Yiwei went out to the streets.

Walk out of the headquarters of the Chinese company that is spread over various administrative agencies and corporate institutions.Zhang Ye and Zhou Xiang walked into the dazzling Taiwan city.

Leading them was a lieutenant captain of Yin Feng's personal guard.Not tall but strong.A pair of big smart eyes showed agility.This is the current Hong Xu.Read all the words.People from Tong'an, Fujian.

In another time and space.Hong Xu is Zheng Zhilong's subordinate.Zheng Chenggong's capable general.now.He is the captain of fifty soldiers in the guard of Yin Feng Palace.

张叶原本以为这位也不过是海盗出身的渔民。一打听才知道。洪旭还算是耕读传家的小富之家出身。只不过他父亲是庶子。与长房分家后靠自家一点田地财产勉强糊口。1607年10月18日。即明万历35年丁未农历八月28日。泉州大地震。洪旭还在襁褓之中。他的家就在地震后的飓风中被毁灭。从此家业一蹶不振。他到了12岁时。因家中再无财力供他读书。不得不缀学回家务农。当同安、泉州等地被中华军夺占后。洪旭立刻抛下锄头加入了中华军。

"Haha. I can't tell you are still a scholar." Zhang Ye had a good impression of this clever young man.

"Shame. Before I enlisted in the army. I only knew the language."

"Oh. You also went to the Chinese Military Academy."

"Yes. I actually went to the military school twice: one was a crash course for non-commissioned officers. One was an officer training course. In total, I read a year and a half in the military school. This year and a half. It was the period of time that I learned the most. A kind smile flashed on Hong Xu's face.It seems to be recalling the good times in the military academy.

He turned his head and said: "I have an order. After the negotiation is over, you can visit the Chinese Military Academy. But, now. Let me take you to Nancheng District first. How about it."

Zhang Ye looked around and looked at the crowds that filled the streets.I am amazed by the bustling scenery of the local area.

……

A rainy night.The main force of the Fourth Division of the Chinese Army entered the Datong River on a boat.early in the morning.The Fourth Division troops landed on the north bank of the Datong River.Bingfeng pointed directly at the Pyongyang government.

"Pyongyang House".It is the capital of Ping An Road.At the same time, it is known as the "Two Western Important Towns".The city of Pyongyang is divided into four parts: the inner city, the middle city, the outer city and the northern city.There are five gates in the inner city.To the south is Suzaku Gate.In the east is Datong Gate (with Wengcheng).The northeast is the Seven Star Gate.The southeast is Changqing Gate.To the west is Jinghai Gate.Outside the inner city is the middle city.The south gate is Zhengyang Gate.The east gate is Hanmao Gate.The north gate is Qingchang Gate.The west gate is an ordinary gate.Outside the central city is the outer city.The south avoids the door for the car.To the west is Duojingmen.In addition, there are Chengfu Gate, Zupu Gate, Daodao Gate, Xiaotong Gate, Shuide Gate and so on.There is Beicheng at the northern end of the inner city.To the south is Zhuanjin Gate.To the north is the Xuanwu Gate.

More than 2000 Chinese Bureau garrisons, businessmen, and immigrants were surrounded by tens of thousands of North Korean troops and volunteers in Beicheng.Two months of hard work.Finally, the rescue team arrived.soon.Foreign mercenary regiments and Liaodong troops of the Chinese Army arrived in Pyongyang one after another.

At this time, the Chinese Army garrison in Seoul.Because of the lack of food and ammunition.The fort fortress was breached by the North Korean army a month ago.Including soldiers of the garrison battalion and merchants of the Han nationality.In total, more than 600 people were killed by North Koreans.

The news of the fall of the Seoul Fort has reached Pyongyang.Yan Siqi, who had just arrived in Pyongyang, was furious.Issued the order: after the capture of Seoul.All North Koreans who participated in the attack on the fort on the north bank of the Han River.All will be executed, shoot to kill.

During the same period, the Beiyang Fleet of the Chinese Navy seized Ganghwa Island in one fell swoop.Blocked the retreat of the Korean royal family.at the same time.The shallow-water heavy gunship of the Chinese Army rebuilt from a sandship sailed into the Han River.All the way bombarded the stronghold of the North Korean army along the coast.

After Yan Siqi basically pacified the northern part of North Korea.Gathered the fifth division, the fourth division and the main force of the foreign mercenary regiment to go south to Seoul.
