Blood from Daming

Chapter 482 Incheon
Xue Yun learned that his cousin went to Yan Sanniang's place, and Xue Yun knew exactly what Miss Xu said. Xue Yun just asked Yan Sanniang to hold Miss Xu back, and try not to let Miss Xu come to Changtu Island. Xue Yun's reason It was because he didn’t want outsiders like Miss Xu to know the secret of Changtu Island, which made Yan Sanniang very happy when she found out. In fact, there was another reason why Xue Yun didn’t want Miss Xu to come, and that was that the piece of brown candy that Princess Scarlet Blood couldn’t get rid of. Damn, if Miss Xu, a jealous vampire, came here, the whole Changtu Island wouldn't be polluted.

Xue Yun is waiting for news, and it is a big news. This is the late Jinhan Nurhachi who died of illness in Shenyang City in August. The news of Nurhachi's death did not come, but the return of the Xue Family Army's second fleet came, and the maritime merchants in Hangzhou City were completed. From the trade with the North Korean country, everyone made a lot of money and returned to Hangzhou City, while the Second Fleet of the Xue Family Army docked at the pier of Changtu Island.

The soldiers and civilians of Changtu Island warmly welcomed the Second Fleet, which returned after victory, and then Xue Yun invited Wang Erwa, Wu Yang, and Luo Erwa into his office yard, and talked with them about the trip to North Korea.

This trip to North Korea by Xue Jiajun's Second Fleet went very smoothly. It arrived at the North Korean port of Incheon in less than ten days, but something went wrong when entering the port. North Korea does not trade with the local government of Ming Dynasty, and merchant ships entering Hong Kong must have the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty.

The Hangzhou Merchant Fleet communicated with the officials of North Korea’s Incheon Port. It took a lot of money to get some information. It turns out that the national policy of North Korea adopted the method of freeing the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu, and was influenced by Jianlu. The Ming Dynasty began to adopt perfunctory and procrastinating policies, so it is natural to keep a respectful distance from the Hangzhou Merchant Fleet who came uninvited.

The owners of the Hangzhou Merchant Fleet also received news that this spring Jianlu attacked the northern provinces of North Korea. The king of North Korea asked Xue Polu, the general of the Liaodong Garrison of the Ming Dynasty, to rescue him. As an excuse, he refused to send troops to reinforce the Yalu River in North Korea.

In desperation, the king of North Korea, Li Yu, ordered Ping'an Road to collect fine grains and five thousand shi each of beans for Xue Polu. Thousands of Korean people have been plundered, and countless cattle, sheep, mules and horses have crossed the river and returned to Liaodong.

The Korean king Li Ji and his ministers not only lost the people's property, but also got ten thousand stones of grain and grass for nothing by Xue Polu. Unwilling to help with all their strength, the traitor Han Run (the nephew of Han Minglian's family nephew of the hero Han Minglian who was "injo" in the Lee Dynasty of North Korea, and three years later, the hero Han Minglian was also captured and killed for participating in the rebellion) sent people back to North Korea to negotiate peace for the Jian captives. The Korean king Li Ji and his ministers saw it as a good opportunity to discuss peace, so the Korean state and Jianlu began to flirt with each other.

According to the agreement reached between the Korean state and Jianlu, the king of North Korea, Li Ji, used the troops stationed in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty to participate in the general Xue Polu's department. He plundered, supported the enemy and supported the bandits, and corrupted the place. It's a pity that the Ming court was unwilling to get into this huge trouble, and Xue Polu, the general of the Ming Liaodong garrison army, ignored it, and the withdrawal of the army has been dragged on like this.

However, the relationship between the Xue Polu Department and the North Korean army became more tense, which made the North Korean monarchs and ministers who were planning to implement the policy of sitting on the wall feel like a stick in their throats. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, a local government of the Ming Dynasty actually came to ask for trade. In order to please the Jianlu envoy, the North Korean monarch and ministers naturally refused the Ming Hangzhou Merchant Fleet to enter the Incheon Port for trade.

Wang Erwa, Wu Yang, Luo Erwa and the Hangzhou Merchant Fleet got the general news. The merchants of the Hangzhou Merchant Fleet were very discouraged. The North Korean country does not allow Jiang Xi to trade. This trip is probably for nothing. Going back in this way with the men on the boat eating, drinking, and laying wages will also cause heavy losses to the maritime merchants in Hangzhou City. People have secretly whispered that the Xue family offended the North Korean country, and this is why the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond.

It’s been the fourth day since I came to Incheon Port. Wang Erwa held a meeting with all the owners and captains on her boat. Wang Erwa looked at the more than 50 people sitting there, and asked these people directly if they were willing to communicate with North Korea. Make a deal, or give up this trade and go home.

The more than 50 people sitting there were silent. Wang Erwa waited for a long time and no one answered, so Wang Erwa said to the owners and captains: "Well, you all vote with a show of hands. The minority obeys the majority. It seems that you can stay and continue to follow the ship." If North Korea conducts a transaction, it is better to go back to Hangzhou."

The more than 50 owners and captains all expressed their desire to trade with North Korea, so Wang Erwa said: "Okay, then we will trade with North Korea, but our Jinyiwei and Dongchang will open the door to North Korea." After that, everyone will bear the money spent.”

The bosses and captains sent by Mancijiaguo and Zuixianlou Zhang's master understood what Wang Erwa wanted to do, only those outside the circle were still a little confused, and asked Wang Erwa how to open the door of North Korea and what money to bear.

However, Wang Erwa also put it aside, saying that this time she will do it first and then collect the money. If everyone feels unwilling to pay the money, it doesn't matter. As for whether they can get the protection of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Ship next time, let's talk about it.

Then Wang Erwa sent those owners and captains back to the ship, and asked their ships to retreat at least ten miles, and then Wang Erwa ordered Wu Yang to enter a fighting state, and Wu Yang immediately ordered his ship to issue a semaphore. Line up, and then slowly drive along the sea water from the alley of Incheon Port.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Incheon Port, where thousands of large and small ships are parked, the guns are rumbling and the flames are soaring into the sky. Xue Jiajun's second fleet launched the gunboat policy for ocean trade. Escorting the Ming Dynasty Merchant Ship, the artillery force was strengthened on the warship, and the two pirate ships with stronger firepower were also in the Second Fleet. This time, the Second Fleet brought the latest research results of the Gunpowder Factory "Incendiary Explosives".

"Incendiary explosive kits" are flammable and non-extinguishable explosives developed by Xue Yun for naval warfare. The Second Fleet took away the first batch of more than 200 "incendiary explosives" because of its mission in the open sea, which made the First Fleet Some officers and soldiers joked that the Second Fleet was able to get the first batch of more than 200 "incendiary bombs" because Wang Qian, who led the team this time, had a big face.

Wu Yang commanded the officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet to fire a burst of large and small French cannons, and then approached and threw "incendiary explosive bombs" with a bombing vehicle. Unfortunately, the Koreans, who are used to peace, did not have the slightest defense against the Ming Dynasty merchant ships outside Incheon Port. The North Korean warships entered the Incheon Port in a daze. Now that the fire has become a momentum, many ships are still unattended.

After Xue Jiajun's Second Fleet withdrew from Incheon Port, the entire Incheon Port was burned into a huge fire dragon. Except for a few ships leaving Incheon Port, about [-]% to [-]% of the large and small seagoing ships were buried in the flames. Wu Yang asked Wang Erwa if she needed Attacking the ships coming out of the port of Incheon, Wang Erwa said that she was punishing the North Korean country, and let him go to the fish that slipped through the net.

The fire at Incheon Port burned for a whole day before it was extinguished. On this day, the Namhansan Fortress in North Korea was shocked. The North Korean King Lee Chung got to Incheon Port and was bombarded by the Ming army. I can't believe that the gentle and elegant Ming Dynasty people started fighting without even saying hello, and they ruined their most terrible port of Incheon all at once.

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, hurriedly summoned a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures in Qingyun Palace. Hu Cao’s judge, Zheng Douyuan, and others invited King Li Ji to lead the battle. The confession is that Daming and Jin Guo once underestimated my dignified Li Dynasty.

While the North Korean monarch and ministers were discussing, the latest report on the situation in Incheon Port was sent to Gyeongun Palace. Eighty percent of the ships in Incheon Port were basically burned, and thousands of North Korean soldiers and civilians were injured.

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, was furious. He sent Li Shu, a clan general, to order 3000 soldiers and command the troops of Incheon Port. Control the coast along the Incheon Port before the armed forces of Ming Dynasty warships landed.

Companion General Li Shu’s men rushed to Incheon Port to control the coast along the route, but Li Shu received a report from the North Korean officers and soldiers guarding Incheon Port that Ming Dynasty merchant ships had already sailed up the sea. Li Shu believed that as long as Ming Dynasty merchant ships did not land in Incheon Port, he would There is no trouble, just report the whereabouts of the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty to the lord Li Ji, and notify the North Korean officers and soldiers along the northern coast to strengthen the precautions against the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, got the news of Li Shu. It was already dawn the next day. Li Ji set fire to the merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty and ran away, blowing his nose and staring at him with anger. You can only show your prestige at sea. If you come ashore, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the North Korean army.

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, was in a better mood when a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Renmu has arrived."

After hearing this, the king of North Korea, Li Ji, got up and went to greet him. Princess Renmu had already entered Li Zhen's imperial study under the escort of the palace maids. At that time, the maids of the Shang Palace withdrew from the curtain, and Concubine Renmu sat across the table from the lord Li Zhen.

Concubine Renmu asked: "Your Majesty, it is said that a merchant ship from the Ming Dynasty burned Incheon Port. I don't know what the situation is now."

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, sighed and said, "My concubine, these pirates of the Ming Dynasty set fire to them and went along the coast to the north. Guzheng sent troops to guard against them, and they must keep the enemy out of the country."
