Chapter 851 Go to Seoul

"Your Highness, the Jiuzhou Army is here to save us!" Goryeo reformists surrounded Li Yan and came to the shore.

The huge warships of the Beiyang Fleet rose and fell slightly with the waves, and the guns of the cannons made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts!

"The warships of the Beiyang Fleet!" Many of the reformists were young Koreans who had studied at the Liaonan Academy of Sciences. They easily recognized the warships of the Beiyang Fleet.

"It was the court that asked us to guard the Prince of the Prince and ask the Prince of the King not to blame us after leaving." The general manager of the guard put his face down and said to Li Yan.

The defenders of Jeju Island had no choice but to be taken away by the Beiyang Fleet. Not to mention their 200 guards, they could not defend Jeju Island even if they pulled the most elite royal army of the Goryeo Kingdom over.

"This is your duty, and I will not complain about you." Li Yan said.

"Li Yan, long time no see." A general in a straight military uniform came down from the Daqi Sail Battleship, dwarfing the slightly bloated guard general.

Navy General Zheng Zhilong!

Zheng Zhilong is a senior member of the Jiuzhou Army. His status is not lower than that of a prince of the Goryeo Kingdom. In terms of real power, Zheng Zhilong is so high that he is not sure where he goes. So what about the king and the prince? Deng Qianlong of the Nanyang Fleet has captured a lot. Zheng Zhilong can also have an equal dialogue with the shogun.

"General Zheng, I didn't expect that you would lead the fleet here in person." Li Yan met Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet.

"The news of your exile has reached the head of the capital. He asked me to come and pick you up, and you all get on the boat." Zheng Zhilong pointed at the reformist faction with more than a hundred people.

When the general manager of the guard saw Zheng Zhilong signaling to take everyone away, he couldn't help but hurry: "Didn't he just take away His Highness the Prince?"

"Hmm?" Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly.

Although the guard general was speechless, he felt Zheng Zhilong's dissatisfaction and quickly fell silent.

The Beiyang Fleet has controlled the dock, the strong ships and powerful guns, and they cannot refuse who they want to take away from here.

"Where are we going? Are we in the capital?" Li Yan asked.

"No, let's go to Seoul." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Seoul!?" Li Yan was surprised.

Seoul is the capital of Goryeo. Not long after Li Yan was expelled, Zheng Zhilong was about to take him back to Seoul. This is a big deal!

"We want to ask the King of Goryeo for you." Zheng Zhilong said.

"My father was just bewitched by treacherous ministers. As long as it takes a long time, he will definitely understand my intention. I don't need to return to Seoul, but I need to go to the capital of China to temporarily avoid the limelight." Li Yan realized that it might be dangerous for him to stay in Jeju Island, but he did not want to return to Seoul directly to face his father.

"Li Yan, don't avoid reality! We are dispatching such a huge fleet, not to change you to a safer place!" Zheng Zhilong, who is older than Li Yan, shouted.

Li Yan shivered by Zheng Zhilong's sniffle.

"Husband, General Zheng said that we must learn to face many things, and we cannot be too naive." Jiang said from the side.

"Your Highness, let's go back to Seoul!" A group of reformists who followed Li Yan advised him.

They are almost all young people in their twenties, all of whom are strong and unwilling to be exiled by the old-style civil servant group in the court, and want to return to revenge!

"Our power is too weak. Without General Zheng's help, we cannot break the current situation. If you want to build Goryeo into what we imagined, you must use extraordinary means." Jiang said again.

Zheng Zhilong saw that Li Yan was hesitant: "Jin Zidian, come down."

A middle-aged man emerged on the deck of the Daqi. After he came down, he saluted Li Yan first: "The sinner Jin Zidian did not ask His Highness the Prince of Kings in advance, so he went to the capital to request reinforcements, and asked His Highness the Prince of Kings to punish him!"

"You must have met the military leader. What do you say?" Li Yan only believed what Chu Yun said now.

"The military leader asked General Zheng to escort His Highness the Prince of Kings back to Seoul and confront His Highness the King in court." Jin Zidian said.

"What's the matter with confrontation?" Li Yan asked.

"Ask Your Majesty the King why His Majesty exiled His Highness for no reason, and why he abolished industrial affairs and did not think about adapting things." Jin Zidian replied.

"I understand..." Li Yan finally plucked up the courage and said to Zheng Zhilong, "I'm sorry General Zheng escorted me back to Seoul."

"Since you have agreed, then get on the boat." Zheng Zhilong said with his head sideways.

"We can return to Seoul!"

"Mr. Jin Zidian, do you know what we are going to do this time when we return to Seoul? Will the court exile us again?"

"Can we fight against those conservatives in the court? Will the Jiuzhou Army avenge us?"

The exiled reformist people asked Jin Zidian, who knew the truth.

"I always have some bad premonitions." Li Yan knew that there was no free lunch in the world. The Jiuzhou Army's intervention in this matter must be based on the Jiuzhou Army as its starting point for interests.

"Maybe, but my husband, no matter what happens next, it will be better than if you and I die on Jeju Island. If a person dies, no matter how many ambitions you have, it will not be realized. It is better not to break or establish, and perhaps you can achieve unexpected results." Jiang comforted the side.

"You are right. I am a man with insufficient courage. Maybe I am not a qualified king. If it weren't for my identity, I would have stayed directly at the Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning to be a scholar." Li Yan sighed.

"The fleet sets sail!" After receiving Li Yan, Zheng Zhilong ordered the fleet to sail northwest along the Goryeo Peninsula, with the goal of Seoul, the royal city of Goryeo!

The huge ship slowly moved away and also moved away at the giant cannon on the coastline. The defenders of Jeju Island were sweating coldly. At least they have escaped the disaster now.

"They said they were going to Seoul."

"Seoul, can they have more than a dozen ships to capture Seoul?"

"It's hard to say, their warships are too terrible, and their firearms are much more advanced than ours. Maybe they really went to attack Seoul."

"People in Seoul are asking for blessings..."

After the Beiyang Fleet left, the guards of Jeju Island said one by one.

"You big-headed soldiers, all returned to your posts!" The general manager of the guard was furious.

"But sir, there are no prisoners anymore. Do we still need to stay here?" The Goryeo soldiers spread their hands.
