This jade is less than the size of a baby's hand. It is snow-white, warm to the ground, and exquisitely carved. A colorful phoenix flying in the air is lifelike. In the lower right corner of the jade plaque, there are a few small words carved in gold edge---Wengzhu Xiaoming.
!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly!
Judging from the workmanship of this jade plaque, there is no doubt that it comes from the royal family, but if it is really a North Korean princess who appears in our own waters, then things will be a bit troublesome!
You know, three hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. However, after the "Bingzi Rebellion", the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered North Korea by force, and then North Korea became a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Last year, too,
Even in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when the Qing army entered the pass to plunder, North Korea also sent troops to participate!
This made many ministers in the DPRK, and even Emperor Chongzhen himself, deeply dissatisfied with North Korea!
They may not have any good solution to the Manchus!
But for North Korea, the Ming Dynasty was still the dynasty of China!
Many matters related to North Korea are sensitive and difficult, and are mostly handled by Governor Denglai. Although Liu Ruyi is the commander-in-chief of Shandong, he has never intervened in such matters!
This matter is like yellow mud soup, others can't hide from it, but Liu Ruyi never expected that such a bad thing would actually find its way to her head!
But now that the matter has come to this, Liu Ruyi has to calm down and think carefully!
If you can reduce big things to small things, it would be best if you can turn small things into small things. Even if you can't, you should take the lead in clearing yourself of your own responsibilities!
"It's just a jade plaque! This obviously doesn't explain your identity! Since you said you are protecting the princess, where is your princess now? How come I didn't even see the shadow of a woman?" Liu Ruyi
He said to the fat man with a cold face!
"General, General, Her Royal Highness the Princess is in a safe place now! What I say is true and not false! General, at the moment, those Japanese are not far from the sea. If they don't snatch the Princess, they will definitely
We won’t let it go! General, we, we are the vassals of the Ming Dynasty after all, you, you can’t just ignore death!”
This fat man kowtowed repeatedly, but he didn't tell the truth!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sneer. The current North Korean affairs are like a ball of mud. If you touch it, you will get messy and you can't wash it off!
Since this fat man still wants to play riddles and doesn't come up with some useful information, how can Liu Ruyi still look good on him?
"Since that's the case, then you can do what you want! The general is busy with official affairs, so I don't have time to accompany you! Come, send these distinguished guests out!" Liu Ruyi waved his hand impatiently to the soldiers around him!
"Yes!" More than a dozen soldiers responded in unison, turned around and surrounded the fat man, ready to take action!
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a clear voice from a woman suddenly came from among the group of people!
Although this voice is not loud, it is full of majesty. Come to think of it, he has been in the upper position for a long time!
Liu Ruyi was startled, but she saw a thin 'man' standing up next to the fat man. She gently wiped the dust on her face, carefully took off the wig on her head, and took off her hood.
With the tattered coat on his body, he gave Liu Ruyi a deep blessing, "Li Xun of North Korea has met the general!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but look at her and saw that she was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was petite but very plump. She was wearing a traditional Korean official uniform. Although there were a few wounds on the clothes, they were well taken care of.
Clean! It can be seen that she is a woman who loves to be clean!
She lowered her head and Liu Ruyi couldn't see her face clearly, but because she was wearing a traditional Korean official robe, the snow-white ravine reflected by the two little white rabbits on her chest gave Liu Ruyi a look!
‘This woman is not old, but she has a lot of capital!’ In a moment, Liu Ruyi had already made an evaluation in her heart!
"Are you the Princess Xiaoming of North Korea? I'm so polite!" Liu Ruyi quickly looked away and saluted her with his hands!
Li Xun then raised his head and glanced at Liu Ruyi with a smile, "I have heard of General Liu's name in North Korea! I am truly lucky to see him today!"
Her Chinese is clear and crisp, no different from ordinary Han people. Moreover, her voice is crisp yet soft and a bit squeaky. In addition, she has the body of a princess and she actually calls herself a "servant." Liu Ruyi listened,
The bones are all soft!
"Princess, you are joking! As Liu is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can the princess hear Liu's name?" Liu Ruyi laughed, covering up her gaffe.
Li Xun, however, didn't take it seriously and continued to compliment: "General Liu defeated the Qing army in Pinggu City, and everyone in North Korea is also very excited! It's a pity that the slaves are not men, otherwise..."
She didn't finish her words, but she bit her pale pink lips with some grievance, which made people feel affectionate!
Liu Ruyi didn't dare to look at her anymore. Although this woman was young, she already had the potential of a 'vixen'. If she got too close to her, she might get into trouble with her!
Liu Ruyi called the group into the tent and waved to the fat man beside Li Xun, "Now that the princess has come out, please tell me what happened? Why are you here?
?”
The fat man hurriedly kowtowed to his head, and then began to describe Liu Ruyi in detail!
~~~~~~~~
It turns out that this Xiaoming princess Li Xun was the daughter of Zhao Guiren, the current king of North Korea who was most favored by Li Zhu, and she was also Li Zhu’s only daughter!
This Zhao Guiren is extraordinary. Not only is she extremely coquettish and charming, but her methods are also extraordinary. She is so fascinated that Li Li is fascinated. The affairs of the Joseon Palace are basically no longer the princess's business, but her words!
Liu Ruyi has heard of this noble Zhao!
This woman had a great desire for power and was a figure like Cixi! The famous TV series "Dae Jang Geum" of Bangzi Kingdom in later generations alluded to her! Unfortunately, she was not as lucky as Cixi. After Li Zhu died,
She was executed for treason!
The reason why Li Xun is so beautiful and enchanting in front of me is probably more of the genes she inherited from her mother!
And the reason why they ended up in Anton Wei was very simple!
At present, although North Korea has experienced the invasion of the Manchus and Qing Dynasties, their national strength and military strength have not been weakened, but have been strengthened after many wars!
North Korea's current military strength is mainly distributed in two areas, one is in the north, mainly to defend against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other is in the southeast, only to defend against Japan!
In politics, after the guidance of "Bingzi Huan", the Luo Party headed by Jin Zidian began to gain power and controlled the power of the two groups!
Although North Korea is a small country and its people are weak, politically, it is basically the same as the Ming Dynasty. There are constant party disputes, intrigues, and struggles for power and gain!
In the past, Li Zhu has been reduced to an empty frame!
But Li Zhu didn't care, but Zhao Guiren was ready to make a move. Although she was a woman, she was very determined and wanted to arm-wrestle with Jin Zidian!
But Jin Zidian had the support of the Qing Dynasty, and even Li Zhu couldn't do anything to him, let alone Zhao Guiren?
But Zhao Guiren is 'full of wits'. Since she could not seek political asylum at home, she turned her attention abroad!
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was Jin Zidian's employer, and she couldn't count on it. The Ming Dynasty was now in decline, and it was somewhat powerless to deal with Korean matters, and it was no longer within the scope of Zhao Guiren's consideration! What's left?
There is only one family, and that is the powerful Shimazu Toshi family who dominates Satsuma!
Decades ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army conquered Korea in the west. Although it ultimately failed, it still left many traces of Japan on the land of Korea!
Zhao Guiren wanted to use his daughter to marry the Shimazu Toshie family, so as to gain military support from the Shimazu Toshie family!
But unfortunately, her plan was only half successful. The Shimazu Toshi family was not monolithic. Moreover, just when Li Xun's dowry-laden fleet was about to approach Japan, it was intercepted by Japanese pirates bribed by Jin Zidian.
,lost heavily!
They had no choice but to escape back to North Korea, but on the way, due to the tight pursuit of soldiers, they lost their way, and finally got close to Anton Wei!
When Louis Peter's fleet passed by, they also sent out a signal for help. However, Louis Peter and old Michel, one was afraid that Liu Ruyi would leave him behind, and the other was afraid of Liu Ruyi's authority. How could they still return?
Dare to meddle in other people's business? Just walk away!
As a last resort, Li Xun and the others had no choice but to dock and seek asylum from the Ming army!
And this fat man is also Zhao Guiren’s confidant, the envoy of this marriage, the Minister of the Second Class, Jin Hanji!
After listening to Jin Hanji's narration, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but feel speechless, 'Oh! I knew it would be a bad thing, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!'
The little land of North Korea actually involves forces from all directions!
The most important thing is that this matter is of no benefit to Liu Ruyi at all, it is completely thankless!
etc!
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Ruyi's mind!
North Korea, North Korea, Anton Wei, Satsuma...
Liu Ruyi thought deeply for a moment, suddenly smiled, and asked people to serve tea to Li Xun and Jin Hanji. Then she smiled and said: "Master Jin, what you said so much is nothing more than asking for my protection for you right now, right?"
Jin Hanji was startled, but he nodded vigorously.
Liu Ruyi pretended to be lewd~ She glanced at Li Xun evilly and suddenly laughed and said: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Jin, it is absolutely okay to do this! With my strength, Liu, I can still protect you in this sea area.
More than enough! But, if I do this, I have to take a lot of risks! What benefits can I get from you? "
Li Xun was stunned for a moment, but he understood Liu Ruyi's potential intention. She said nothing and lowered her head slightly, but there was a trace of blush on her cheeks!
Jin Hanji panicked and kowtowed desperately: "General, this, this, this is my princess of North Korea! If the general wants beauties, when I return to North Korea, I will definitely prepare ten for him, no!"
Hundreds! General, please, please let Her Royal Highness go!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing. He walked up to Jin Hanji, laughed and patted his shoulder, "Master Jin, anyone can write this verbal check, but if you don't come up with something real, Liu Ruyi will
I feel uneasy about that!"
Jin Hanji was at a loss, but Li Xun lowered his head and said nothing, looking at his toes and saying nothing!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sneer. Liu Ruyi had little interest in a little woman like Li Xun, but she had a great appetite for Jeju Island in North Korea!
If we can find an opportunity to capture Jeju Island, it will be a very influential fulcrum for Liu Ruyi!
Both sides fell into silence, no one spoke, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward!
But right here, a soldier at the door loudly reported: "General, there are many warships outside the pier! It seems that the Japanese are coming!"
