Changdeokgung Palace, where the King of Joseon lives, is really an unlucky palace!

This was originally the palace of the King of Joseon, also known as Dongque. During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, it was burned down together with Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace of the King of Joseon, and Changgyeonggung Palace, another palace.

When the Joseon king Xuanzu Li Huan came back, of course he had no money to repair the house... So he saved money for more than ten years. It was not until his son Guanghai Jun Li Hui came to the throne in the 37th year of Wanli that he had the strength to rebuild the house.

Deokgung Palace. But not two years after the completion of the construction, Injo met. Anyway... it was actually a coup. As a result, Changdeokgung Palace was accidentally burned down during the coup.

It was not until the 25th year of King Injo's reign that the Joseon Kingdom saved money to rebuild Changdeokgung Palace.

But when King Injo of Joseon Dynasty was building Changdeokgung Palace, the evil practice of burying the bones of young children under the foundation of Changdeokgung Palace happened again... It sounds a bit like a ghost story, and the purpose is said to be to curse someone.

So the foundation of the house that had just been built had to be excavated and cleaned. This cleaning took several years and cost a lot of money. The project was not completed until Injo of Joseon moved to Changneung of Joseon.

However, Injo's son Hyojong Li Hao did not live in the new house because of his psychological shadow.

Therefore, the first Joseon king to live in Changdeokgung Palace was the father of the current Joseon King Yi Yin, Chongjong Yi Bi... He became blind within a year of living there!

It’s probably because the money was not spent enough and the “dirty things” were not cleaned up!

Therefore, Li Di was very unlucky. After going blind, he developed a tumor, which was probably not malignant. He suffered from the disease for more than ten years and collapsed at the age of thirty-four.

Then Li Yan came to live in this unlucky house... It was pretty good. After living there for a few years, he didn't go blind or develop any tumors, and he was still healthy for the time being.

It seems that his Korean kingdom may be over!

Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty in the north bullied him all day long, while Zhu Heji of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest had ulterior motives.

In addition, there are two foreign barbarians, the Netherlands and Spain, who are constantly asking him to agree to monopoly free trade, and they also want him to convert to God-worshipping religion - can this be changed? There are people carrying sticks everywhere outside Changdeokgung Palace.

The Confucian who beats people and the Confucian who kills people with a big sword!

Although Li Yan was only seventeen years old, he also knew that if he really wanted to worship God, he would either be beaten to death with a stick or beheaded with a big sword.

In short, you can see God right away!

There are not many good people in North Korea. The ruling Southern People’s Party is so domineering that they simply don’t take the king seriously. His two cousins ​​Boochang Gun and Bok Pyeong Gun once slept with two palace maids in Changdeokgung Palace and even let them go.

His mother, Queen Consort Kim, bumped into her. Kim asked him to severely punish the two of them, while Yin Yin of the Southern People's Party asked him to "take care of my mother"... and don't let her interfere in politics!

Who is this person!

Although Li Yan later used the power of the Qing Dynasty to oust Yin Jin, he immediately joined Confucianism. With the protection of the Ming Dynasty, neither the Westerners Party in Korea nor Xu Ji, who was opposed to the Qing Dynasty conservatives, dared to

What to do with him.

So after being the king of Korea for several years, Li Yin discovered that the force most friendly to him was actually the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan...

It's a pity that the Tokugawa Shogunate can't help him at all now. He has to rely on his own strength to deal with a group of wolves and tigers inside and outside.

Now the North Korean king is tremblingly receiving the visiting Qing supervisor Deng Guangming and political supervisor Yu Chenglong in the Xizheng Hall.

His council leader Xu Ji stood by and acted as an interpreter, and from time to time he spoke to the two visitors in Chinese that Li Yan could not quite understand.

"Your Highness...the two imperial envoys from the Imperial Kingdom said that there are currently 15,000 Ming army divisions on dozens of large ships, heading towards North Korea, and will soon land in Asan, and then pass through Chengdu.

Huanyi and Suwon marched to Seoul. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, the training for guarding Seoul includes a gunner army, a killer army, and an archer army, a total of 5,000 people, which is enough to defend Seoul. If that doesn't work, you can retreat to Namhan Mountain Fortress or go to Pyongyang

Take refuge.

In addition, the imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty has already sent an emergency message to the country. We only need to hold on to Seoul, Nanhan Mountain City or Pyongyang for a month, which is enough to wait for reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty.

In short, everything is safe, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

The one who was beating his chest and talking nonsense was none other than Xu Ji, the leader of the government...Although he was talking nonsense, Li Zhen didn't know what to do? If fifteen thousand Ming troops really came to Korea, then what would happen?

The 5,000 "third-hand troops" trained by the Korean state will definitely not be able to defeat them.

If the Qing army in Haizhou is unreliable and reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty fail to arrive for a while, then Korea will fall under the control of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Ji and found that the leader seemed to be confident... Could it be that he had secretly defected to the Ming Dynasty?

And the Ming Dynasty should be better to Korea than the Qing Dynasty, right?

At this time, Yu Chenglong spoke again: "Your Majesty, although the rumors may not be true, if the false traitors really come, please follow the officials and the imperial envoy to evacuate to Haizhou! Haizhou has five

Thousands of heavenly soldiers and a bastion are enough to ensure your safety, my king."

Xu Ji did not translate these words, but directly patted his chest and promised: "Definitely, definitely, please rest assured, the king will definitely evacuate to Haizhou when the time comes."

"Okay, that's good!" Deng Guangming said with a smile, "Let's make an agreement!"

...

On the yellow sea west of the Korean Peninsula, the color of dusk has enveloped the entire sea. A troop transport fleet composed of hundreds of "Great Eastern" sailboats with almost identical appearances is plowing white waves on the ocean.

And behind these large sailing ships, without exception, there is a "mounted shooting boat" towed by ropes.

Pieces of white sails were swollen by the west wind, and the setting sun came from the west and reflected on the ocean. The waves were sparkling. Between the sea and the sky, it seemed that only these strong ships like city walls were approaching the land of the Korean Peninsula.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On every ship in the fleet, there are flying the sun and moon flags symbolizing the Great Ming Dynasty and the "Bei Tian Xing Dao" symbolizing the Nanyang Trading Company.

"flag!

After the great sea battle that formed the sea off Zhejiang, the entire Chinese coast, including the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, was dominated by the Ming Navy and the Nanyang Trading Company. These two integrated maritime forces had absolute dominance on the East Asian seas.

Control!

However, neither the Nanyang Company nor the Ming Dynasty Navy went to Nanyang to challenge the maritime power of the Westerners in the past two or three years, nor did they try to regain the Ming Dynasty's dependent states, including the Ryukyu Kingdom.

They seem content with control of the East Asian seas - which means protection fees!

At the same time, it is also committed to using the ever-expanding fleet for maritime trade in Nanyang and the East - mainly peaceful trade. This kind of trade is conducive to the Nanyang Trading Company to establish contacts with overseas Chinese merchants in Nanyang...

Due to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's maritime ban policy, the Chaozhou people, Cantonese people, Hokkien people and Fuzhou Shiyi people, the major ethnic groups who were keen to explore Southeast Asia, all suffered a heavy blow. Internal and external exchanges were almost interrupted, and it would take some time to restore such contact.

.

Once this kind of contact is basically restored, the time will be ripe for the Ming Dynasty to go south... because there is a leading party!

Before that, Ming Dynasty must at least bring down the great tomorrow of North Korea!

"North Korea! North Korea Yaju has arrived!"

Admiral Liu Guoxuan, who was walking on the deck of the flagship Chengtianfu, suddenly heard the shouts from the lookout soldiers on the lookout post. He quickly walked to the bow of the ship, leaned against the fender, and at the same time took out a telescope and put it against his eyes.

Get on the bed and look forward.

Soon, Liu Guoxuan discovered a cluster of swaying firelight on the coastline that appeared in the distance at an unknown time!

It should be that the insiders who had entered North Korea a long time ago lit a lot of bonfires to guide the Ming warships from afar.

As long as the fleet led by Liu Guoxuan continues sailing towards the light of the fire, it should be able to start landing early tomorrow morning. If nothing happens, thousands of people will be able to land on the coast of Asan by tomorrow night. The day after tomorrow, the landing force will
Chapter completed!
