Chapter 850 Immediately release people

Jeju Island was originally a place controlled by the Yuan Dynasty. After decades of the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, the officials who managed Jeju Island surrendered to the Goryeo Kingdom, and then they were not incorporated into the territory of the Goryeo Kingdom and established two counties.

It is located on the sea on the border of the Goryeo Peninsula. Even in the Goryeo Kingdom, it is a very desolate place, and it has become the place where the exiled prisoners are.

Goryeo Zhaoxian Crown Prince Li Yan and his wife Jiang were wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying hoes to plow the fields. Goryeo officers and soldiers with waist knives were wandering around the farm. In addition to Li Yan and Jiang, some Goryeo reformists were also exiled to this farm.

"Jin Zidian seems to have escaped. I wonder if he can find reinforcements for us?"

"Now the entire court is hostile to our reformists. I guess Jin Zidian went to find the Jiuzhou Army of China to come and help."

"That night I saw the Chinese merchants bribing the officers and soldiers here and took out Jin Zidian. At that time, the Chinese merchants took a hundred taels of silver notes, which made the officers and soldiers look straight."

"The Chinese businessmen are really rich, but they really have money to make the devil push the mill."

"Isn't that true? The Chinese businessman is willing to save money and save Jin Zidian, which means that China is willing to help us!"

Some exiled reformists whispered privately.

"Husband, I haven't seen Jin Zidian for a long time. Has he gone out?" Jiang asked Li Yan.

"I don't know how he got out." Li Yan put down his hoe and looked at the sea at the foot of the mountain.

"It wasn't you who let him escape, my husband?" Jiang asked.

"Of course not. The father was just angry for a moment. I believe that when he figured out the importance of change to our country of Goryeo, he would definitely send someone to put me back. The literati and officials in the court did not understand at all that the times had changed. If we did not make changes, we would lag behind this era." Li Yan said.

"But my husband, my deeds may not understand the painstaking efforts of those pedantic literati. Even my father opposed you in the court, and even he regarded me as a rebellion." Jiang said.

"That's because we went to the Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning. We saw what the future should be like. They were still addicted to the court to fight for power and power, which was really pedantic." Li Yan hugged the young wife and said with difficulty.

Jiang, who is also a Korean, also studied at the Liaonan Academy of Sciences. In addition, the family behind Jiang is a large family in the Korean Kingdom. Whether it is because of political marriage or Li Yan's personal wishes, Jiang naturally became his wife.

However, the younger generation they studied abroad was regarded as heresy by the civil servant group and was suppressed together.

"Husband, what do you think it is?" Jiang suddenly exclaimed.

Li Yan followed the direction Jiang pointed, and saw sail shadows appearing on the sea level, and thirteen ships appeared in their sight!

Thirteen ships are hung with the Qinglong Banner of the Navy of the Jiuzhou Army!

"How could they appear here for the Jiuzhou Army's warships?" Li Yan, who had been in southern Liaoning for several years, was very familiar with the Jiuzhou Army's warships. He could even tell at a glance that it was the Jiuzhou Army's warships or the Chinese merchants' merchant ships!

"Will they come to pick you up your husband? The reinforcements that Jin Zidian found?" Jiang looked up at Li Yan.

"Maybe it's Jin Zidian who is going to find reinforcements from the army. The army leader knows that I'm in trouble, and will definitely send someone to save me."

When Li Yan saw the Kyushu Army's warship appearing on the outskirts of Jeju Island, he thought that this time the matter might be a big deal.

The reformists and officers and soldiers on Jeju Island have also discovered the Kyushu Army warships that suddenly appeared in the waters of Jeju Island!

More than a dozen ships of the Kyushu Army blocked the ports entering and leaving Jeju Island, and the artillery of the sail battleships aimed at Jeju Island!

"Is anyone good at Chinese?" The officers and soldiers on Jeju Island panicked.

They knew that only the Jiuzhou Army had such warships in the entire sea!

A small boat was put down from the Daqi, and several soldiers from the Beiyang Fleet rowed their boats to the dock first.

The officers and soldiers on Jeju Island either held bird guns or big swords, and were very afraid of the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet who came ashore.

"Please come out among you who can speak Chinese." The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet were not afraid of the number of Goryeo defenders who were far better than their own.

A Goryeo officer was pushed out by everyone and asked nervously: "Why did your Kyushu Army warship appear on our Jeju Island?"

"Captain Zhaoxian of Goryeo is a friend of our military leader. When our military leader heard that the King of Goryeo exiled the prince, he sent us to pick up Crown Zhaoxian back to Hanjing. Please hand over Crown Zhaoxian." The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet said.

"Do you have the amnesty order from His Majesty the King of Goryeo?" The defenders of Jeju Island said suspiciously.

"No, our musket is an amnesty order." The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet coldly took off the musket behind them.

The defenders of Jeju Island were shocked and raised their shields and big swords one after another.

"Please release Prince Zhaoxian immediately, otherwise our fleet will attack Jeju Island, and our reinforcements will continue to come here from southern Liaoning. Please consider the consequences." said the Beiyang Fleet soldiers.

The Korean soldiers who speak Chinese explained the intentions of the Beiyang Fleet to their companions, which caused an uproar among the defenders of Jeju Island.

There are more than 200 Goryeo defenders on Jeju Island, which together is only equivalent to the number of people in the Beiyang Fleet's warship. It is simply impossible to defend Jeju Island under the siege of thirteen warships.

"They do not have the pardon order from His Majesty the King. If His Majesty is released without authorization, His Majesty the King and the officials in the court will blame him in the future, and we may be executed!"

"But if we don't let anyone go, we may die in battle now... If the law does not punish the people, can the court punish more than 200 of us?"

"This is a question of backbone. If the Jiuzhou Army asks us to let go, we will let them go. Wouldn't we listen to everything in the future?"

"Do you want your backbone or your life?! Nothing isn't true if you lose your life!"

The defenders of Jeju Island started to argue.

"Have you agreed? We don't have so much time to listen to your arguments, either hand over the people or start a war." said the Beiyang Fleet soldiers.

"Please give us more time to discuss." said the Korean soldier who speaks Chinese.

The Jeju Island defenders argued for a long time, and finally the general manager here made a compromise with them on behalf of all the defenders: "Please come with us, Prince Wang, you can take it away. If possible, I hope you will explain to our King Your Majesty that our Jeju Island defenders are not unwilling to resist, but their strength is too different."
