Ming Zuo

Chapter 571

No matter how big the blessing boat is, it is only as small as a grain of rice when it is alone on the sea.

Fortunately, the weather was fine and the waves were calm, so the people on board were safe.

Seeing Jeju Island approaching, Liao Zhongjian's mind was full of Zuo Menggeng's earnest words of warning.

After careful consideration, Liao Zhongjian already had a plan on how to carry out the activities.

When Zhang Keda returned, he still stayed in Jeju Island.Although no further trade has been carried out, there have been some discussions regarding exchanges.

Li Chong knew that the angels from the Kingdom of Shang would still come.

The arrival of Liao Zhongjian made Li Chong excited.

The last time the items were sent to Hanyang, Shen Qiyuan praised them again and again.It has been promised that he will be promoted to a noble in the near future.

In Li Chong's eyes, the angel of Shangguo is his lucky star.

"My lord Angel, the villain has already prepared a sumptuous feast, and please honor me with honor, so that the villain can show his respect as a landlord."

Liao Zhongjian happily took the seat as the host and guest did as they pleased.

But Liao Zhongjian was a little dumbfounded looking at the dishes presented one after another.

Pickles, pickles...

See also pickles.

No kimchi.

Chili has just emerged in Shandong, and it is not seen at all in North Korea.

So kimchi has a history of thousands of years, which is all bragging of later generations of Koreans.

Fortunately, Liao Zhongjian didn't want to talk, and he was more concerned about important things.

Even the two North Korean beauties carefully arranged by Li Chong were blown away by him.

"After General Zhang Ke went back, he explained his feelings in detail. The commander-in-chief of my family said that North Korea is the descendant of China. It is originally one body and should be taken care of by itself. How can North Korea be allowed to fall into the hands of barbarians?"

Hearing this, Li Chong howled immediately.

"Since ancient times, North Korea has been a king for a long time, and the world has received the favor of the emperor. It has long regarded itself as China. The villain has vowed to die and show his will, and would rather be the dog of China than the guest of barbarians."

Heh, this show of loyalty gave Liao Zhongjian goosebumps.

If it was an official of Ming Dynasty, he would have been comfortable and self-satisfied long ago.

However, he is a new type of diplomat trained by Zuo Menggeng, and he doesn't care about this cheap talk at all.

No matter how North Korea is, it is still a country.

How can there be any friendship between countries?
Kind of just pure interest.

In order to attack North Korea, Liao Zhongjian collected enough information to know the domestic situation in North Korea like the palm of his hand.

In the third year of Apocalypse, Jin Liu, Li Gui and others of the Xiren Party launched a palace coup, abolishing Li Hun, the Lord of Guanghai, and supporting Li Yu, the Lord of Lingyang, as the king.

Because Mr. Gwanghae implemented a neutral policy between Ming and Jin, from Da Ming's point of view, Injo is a happy event anyway.

But the Ming Dynasty stupidly believed that Renzu was usurping anyway, so he didn't admit it at first.

This is enough to show that the Ming Dynasty lacked the ability to grasp the development of the surrounding situation.

It was not until later that out of the need to unite the dynasty and fight against the gold, the legitimacy of Li Yu's king was recognized.

From North Korea's point of view, Mingming Guanghai Jun's neutral policy is more in line with the interests of North Korea, but because the Western People's Party is dissatisfied with the status quo of losing power, it overthrows him.

When the Western People's Party supported Li Zhen to ascend the throne, they chose to fully surrender to the disadvantaged Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that history is such an irony.

If Gwanghae-kun was in power, North Korea should not have been beaten twice by Houjin, and then became Houjin's follower again after a heavy loss.

Of course, Li Ji and the Western People's Party have their hearts towards the Ming Dynasty.

But the strategic situation decided that they chose a wrong path of self-destruction.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Dingmao fought indiscriminately, and North Korea was beaten and abandoned, and had to negotiate peace with Houjin in humiliation.

Because of this incident, Li Zhen's prestige in the country plummeted, he also lost his ambition, and began to be passive and slack in politics and indulge in pleasure.

And taking advantage of Hou Jin's victory in North Korea, some people in the Western People's Party saw the situation clearly and voiced their support for Hou Jin.

In short, the current political situation in North Korea is a mess.

Everyone fought back and forth, but no one could come up with a solution.

It can only wait for the external situation to change, and North Korea will make a passive choice accordingly.

Of course, North Korea would definitely prefer to be in Da Ming's father's arms if possible.

This is why the officials of the Western People's Party were so excited when Liao Zhongjian and Zhang Keda came here.

But in the eyes of Shandong, North Korea is not that important.

If it weren't for ensuring the smooth support of Sakhalin Island, there would be no intersection with North Korea at all.

Even without North Korea, as long as we can establish contact with Tsushima Fan, this route can still be smooth.

Since these North Korean officials were so enthusiastic about their arrival, how could Liao Zhongjian let go of this opportunity?

"Da Ming is well aware of North Korea's loyalty. However, Da Ming has a little trouble now, which is difficult to take care of, but it makes everyone difficult and difficult, which is sad and lamentable."

With these words, Li Chong cried on the spot.

"With the words of the angel, even if our country is destroyed in North Korea, we will not have any regrets."

Liao Zhongjian is not just talking empty words.

"The founding of the Joseon Dynasty is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. The royal power is deeply rooted. Even if you are disturbed by the barbarians, you must continue to strive for self-improvement in order to maintain the national unity."

Li Chong sighed.

"Angels don't know that our country is small and narrow, poor and weak. If we don't have the Great Ming soldiers, we will be powerless against the barbarians' cruelty and tyranny."

It was the truth, but Liao Zhongjian did not promise, but said seriously: "Please let the county magistrate pass on all matters concerning North Korea. Please rest assured, I, Ming Dynasty, will not just sit back and watch North Korea fall."

How to communicate with North Korea is beyond the reach of Li Chong, a small county magistrate.

The North Korean side must have a big shot to come forward.

When Liao Zhongjian said this, it was like throwing the bait.

I believe that the high-level officials in North Korea and China will be tempted by the situation.

Li Chong really didn't dare to neglect.

"I'll send a letter to Zhou Mu immediately, and ask the angel to wait."

Three days later, Jeju Mu Shen Daoxun came in a hurry, and after discussing with Liao Zhongjian, he sent an urgent letter to Hanyang.

Liao Zhongjian did not delay, left Jeju Island and continued eastward.

A few days later, I came to the sea of ​​Busan.

In the dark night, the lucky boat floats on the sea, blending with the sky and the sea.

Even if you get close, you may not be able to find it.

Unless someone gets the message in advance.

Liao Zhongjian sat quietly and waited, and a message came from the watchtower.

"Minister, people are coming!"

Liao Zhongjian was refreshed.

"Signal."

A kerosene lamp was lit on the observation deck, and several irregular circles were drawn back and forth in mid-air.

Although the flames were not very bright, they spread far and wide in such a dark night.

After a full burn of incense, a pitch-black shadow approached Fu Chuan.

Before the two boats converged, someone on the opposite side called out eagerly: "Is the angel of Shangguo here? I, Jin Shangxian, ask to see you."

Liao Zhongjian was stunned.

I thought it would be Shen Qiyuan, but I didn't expect it to be Kim Sang-heon, the leader of the Western People's Party.

"I'm here, please Mr. Jin to cross the boat for a while."
