Shen Qiyuan's letter was written in Chinese mixed with the so-called proverbs of the court. Yang Zhen could not understand it, so he had to give it to Shen Qicheng to interpret.

"Captain, this is the unique writing style used by brother Xiaguan when communicating with brothers in Xiaguan. No one else can understand it except brothers Xiaguan."

Shen Qiyuan had been thinking of treason since Bingzi's misbehavior. Naturally, the content of his correspondence with his younger brothers was not known to anyone, so he actually developed a special way of writing letters.

While talking about the inner story, Shen Qicheng unfolded the letter and read ten lines at a glance, his face quickly becoming solemn.

"My brother said that he has long admired your name, Governor, and really hopes to meet you. There are many things that the Governor has entrusted that need to be discussed in detail in person.

"My brother said that the Qing Dynasty envoy is now in Hanyang City. Although Li Yan is as afraid of the Qing Dynasty as a tiger, but now that he has the support of the Qing Dynasty, he will not easily give in to your request, Commander. I tell you, Commander, to make preparations in advance.

"In addition, my brother suggested that the governor send someone to go quickly, go quickly, to Jeju Island - ah?!"

Shen Qicheng was reading his brother's letter and reporting the contents to Yang Zhen. However, as he looked at it, he obviously saw something completely beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Captain, great news, great news! My brother said that Mr. Gwanghae is still alive and is now exiled on Jeju Island. He told us to quickly control him. Once we catch him, Li Zhu will I dare not disobey the Governor’s request!”

"Kwanghae-kun is still alive?!"

"Yes. If my brother said he is still alive, then he must be still alive. I never expected that he was secretly exiled to Jeju Island. What a brilliant plan!"

Ever since Shen Qicheng learned the news that Lord Guanghai was still alive, he had been astonished. Sometimes he seemed to be talking to Yang Zhen, and sometimes he seemed to be talking to himself.

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't know whether Shen Qicheng was praising his brother Shen Qiyuan's clever strategy, or whether he was praising Li Jie's exquisite arrangement of exiling Lord Guanghae to Jeju Island.

At this time, Yang Zhen had no intention of taking care of him anymore. Instead, he immediately called his adjutant Ma Keqing to pass the order and ordered Yu Haichao to come and see him immediately.

Yang Zhen had no doubts about the news that Shen Jiyuan told him about Guanghaejun's presence in Jeju Island.

First of all, Shen Qiyuan was one of the masterminds who helped Li Zhu plan the Guihai incident, and he was also one of the masterminds of how to deal with Lord Guanghai afterwards.

No matter where Gwanghae-kun was secretly exiled, he was one of the very few insiders at that time.

Secondly, he has complete control over the conspiracy of Shen Qiyuan and his party. Now he can only go all the way to cooperate with him, and he has no other choice, so Yang Zhen is also very relieved about him.

Furthermore, even after more than ten years, this Lord Guanghai is still useful.

After all, Lord Gwanghae has been the king for more than ten years. Although times have changed and people have changed, he has no supporters among the powerful people of the Li Dynasty today, but he still has some influence among the people at the bottom.

The reason why Li Jie did not dare to kill him directly at that time was because Li Jie did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.

Especially now, the Guihai that Li Zhu created in the name of honoring the Ming and resisting the invaders has completely turned against him, and is even worse than what Guanghaijun did at that time.

The so-called Guihai Anyway, which won the hearts of scholars at that time, and the so-called Renzu Anyway in later generations, now make no sense at all from the perspective of the justice of the monarch and his ministers.

At this time, having Lord Guanghai in his own hands would be a much more effective threat to Li Zhu than any other hostage.

Not long after, Yu Haichao was ordered to follow Ma Keqing to the left-behind mansion where Yang Zhen was staying.

"Yu Haichao, there is something very important that I want to leave to you!"

"Despite the Governor's orders, I will go through fire and water even if I am humbled by my position!"

"You don't need to go through fire and water, I just need you to take a fleet and continue south along the coast to Jeju Island!"

"Ah? Jeju Island? This——, I have never been to it!

After hearing Yang Zhen's order, although Yu Haichao guessed that the matter was of great importance, he couldn't help being surprised. His eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't been there, I will arrange a guide for you to lead the way."

After saying this, Yang Zhen turned to Shen Qicheng, who had calmed down, and said: "Director Shen, this matter is of great importance. You need to go to Jeju Island in person. You must take Commander An Yixin with you. Lord Guanghai will bring him back, and we must fight quickly and return quickly!”

"this--"

Shen Qicheng obviously did not expect that in the blink of an eye, Yang Zhen would arrange this matter for him.

He had the intention to refuse, but when he saw Yang Zhen looking at him with cold and ruthless eyes, he did not dare to say the words of rejection, and finally muttered:

"I'm your official, I'll obey your orders!"

These civil servants who came from the scholar-bureaucrat class have no courage in everything they do. They can sit back and talk about things, but if they are asked to do things themselves, they will not hold back and just want to sit back and enjoy the results.

But here in Yang Zhen, there is no such thing as just sitting back and enjoying the success.

When Yang Zhen saw that he had agreed, he didn't argue with him so much. He immediately said to him: "When you go to Jeju Island, don't tell the detention officer more about the things here. You, the deputy envoy of Jianghua Remaining Mansion, said that you have a secret order." Transfer Mr. Gwanghae back to Ganghwa Island for disposal. When the time comes, you can lie to him if you can, and if you can’t, you can rob him. I have enough troops for you from the governor!"

"I understand, I understand!"

"It's good that you understand. Without further ado, you can set off now!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

"I obey my orders!"

Seeing Yang Zhen's serious expression, Yu Haichao and Shen Qicheng also knew that the matter was of great importance, so neither of them dared to say anything. They immediately bowed to receive the order and hurriedly went to make arrangements for departure.

Yang Zhen originally had no plans to send anyone to Jeju Island now, because in his opinion, Jeju Island was a bit too far from Lushunkou, the core of Jinhae Town, and it was really out of reach.

Including the first condition of withdrawal, we can actually continue to bargain and discuss.

If Li Zhu agrees, that is of course the best, and he will be able to immigrate in large numbers wherever he goes in the future.

If Li Jie does not agree, he can exchange other things with Li Jie on one condition.

Negotiation, in the final analysis, is an exchange of interests.

However, the letter sent by Shen Qiyuan made Yang Zhen keenly feel that he was a little too optimistic.

The news that Gwanghae-kun was still alive and exiled on Jeju Island made Yang Zhen suddenly realize that this was a bargaining chip that could be put to good use.

At least it will give him a greater advantage in the subsequent negotiations, especially for Li Jie, and it will have a greater deterrent effect.

Therefore, sending people to Jeju Island suddenly became an urgent matter that could not be delayed.

In the early morning of June 14th, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, around Yinshi, Shen Qicheng, who had never performed such an emergency mission, finally boarded the Yu Haichao moored at the port near Jiachuandun with a command from An Yixin. fleet.

Yu Haichao's fleet originally had only a few ships and navy battalions, but after receiving the order this time, Yang Zhen transferred more than a dozen transport ships to him from Qiu Zhenhai's command, which was enough for him to carry An Yixin. Everyone is here.

In this way, in the early morning of June 14th, before dawn, a group of people who were ordered to go to Jeju Island set sail in the mist.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen accepted Shen Qiyuan's suggestion and immediately sent Shen Qicheng to take Yu Haichao and An Yixin to Jeju Island to control Gwanghae Jun who was secretly exiled there. Otherwise, Yang Zhen would have Just by taking Ganghwa Island this time, I was trying to force Li Jie to cooperate with me, but I'm afraid it will really fail.

Shen Qiyuan's judgment was correct. Although Li Zhu was as afraid of the Qing captives as a tiger, he now believed that he had the support of the Qing captives and did not take Yang Zhen, the general of the Ming Dynasty to the East, into his eyes at all.

On the morning of the second day after Kim Sang-heon left Ganghwa Island, Li Jian summoned him at Changdeokgung Palace in Hanyang City.

The people who were summoned by Li Zhu at the same time included Hong Ruifeng, the leader of the government, Li Shenggu, the leader of the left government, and Jin Zidian, the leader of the right government. There were also Jin Liu, the retired former leader of the government, Jin Liu, Li Zhu's cousin, and the general Gu Renhu of the guard. Shen Qiyuan, the general military envoy of Gyeonggi Province and the defense envoy of Namhan Mountain Fortress.

These people, with the exception of Kim Sang-hyun, are all the most trusted confidants of the North Korean leader Li Zhu.

"This Yang Zhen is really too rude. No matter whether it is ceding land for compensation or ceding islands for compensation, no one can agree to this."

With a gloomy face, Li Zhu sat cross-legged on a couch. After carefully listening to the conditions for Yang Zhen's withdrawal relayed by Jin Sangxian, he immediately expressed his attitude to the courtiers kneeling on the ground.

"I have already ordered Cao Li to send people to the Nanbie Palace to attend the banquet at the evening of yesterday, and reported the Southern Dynasty navy's raid on our Jianghua Remaining Mansion to Jingjin Beilenikan of the Qing Dynasty envoy. Jingjin. Baylor also ordered his general Lausa to rush back to Zhenjiang Fort to recruit troops last night."

Having said this, Li Zhu looked at the faces of the kneeling ministers one by one, and finally looked outside the hall, gritted his back molars, smiled sinisterly, and said:
Chapter completed!
