North Korea, Hanjiang Estuary.

A guard at the post station stuffed his hands into his sleeves, clamped a rusty bird gun with his arms and body, trembling under the leeward earth wall. The cold wind poured in from his neck, taking away the heat from his body. He muttered cursingly, but it was still useless. He could only stand up and stomp his feet so that his lower limbs would not freeze.

"Damn, you are really here to stay, you're very dedicated."

"I was scared, where did you jump out?"

The guard suddenly heard someone talking and was startled. Even the bird gun fell to the ground. When he saw that it was a soldier from the same army, he felt a little relieved. He picked up the bird gun and found that the bird beak with the fuse rope had fallen crooked. He couldn't help but curse and asked, "What are you doing? It's not time to change shifts."

"Change shifts, change a shit!" the man cursed, pointing to the dim sky and the big waves outside the sea, and said, "In this ghost weather, who will patrol and check the posts? The Chief of War went to the town to find the women to warm the beds. That is, you are stupid enough to really come to stand guard. Look at the sea surface, what boat dares to sway on the sponge with such a big wave?"

"That's true. Let's go back. The weather is too cold. I'm afraid that I'll even get rid of my toes after staying for a long time." said the guard.

The companion smiled and said, "I dare not go back. If the sergeant doesn't find the woman and comes back, maybe we have to play military sticks. Why don't we find a place to get some food? Look, what is this."

As he said that, he took out a sack from behind, and the guards opened it, and found that there was a pot of wine in it, and the rest were all cured meat and pancakes. He immediately understood and cursed, "I said why did you suddenly appear today? It turned out that there was another profitable deal. Whose ship is it?"

The transactions mentioned by the guards are naturally smuggling. The Han River estuary they are located directly facing Jianghua Island. The two years ago, it was occupied by the empire. The merchants in Seoul smuggled constantly with Juehua Island. The merchants all had a deep background and made a lot of money. Naturally, the oil and water of the guards of these posts were indispensable. The money was not much, but there was no cured meat that anyone on Juehua Island liked. Dried cakes were the favorites of these unlucky soldiers. After all, these posts were all low-born military households and rarely saw any oil and water on weekdays.

The companion smiled and said, "Of course it's the ship of the Beijing Merchants Group. Who dares to steal their business? The ship passed by early this morning."

The Beijing Merchant Group was a famous business group in North Korea. The Li Dynasty was established and collected taxes from all over the world. In North Korea, where precious metals were scarce, rice was the big part of the tax. Maritime transportation was naturally the lowest consumption method. It was dangerous to transport eight rice from North Korea to Seoul. The Han River and the Han River mouth were densely covered with reefs and it was difficult to navigate. The ancestors of the Li Dynasty drove fishermen to explore the route, and many casualties were injured. The fishermen resisted and deliberately drove rice boats to hit the reefs. In the end, the two sides compromised, and the fishermen obtained the monopoly of navigation in the Han River and nearby. Over the past few hundred years, the famous Beijing Merchant Group was formed.

The two of them found a shack, set up fire, put the clay pot, cut the marinated meat, threw it into it, added cabbage and radish, folded the branches as chopsticks, and then started eating and drinking. The fire pit also roasted the shack very hot. The guards lay on the ground, patting their round belly, enjoying a moment of comfort, while his companions went out to pee.

"Ah..." The guard was awakened by his companion's voice. He asked loudly: "What's wrong? Have you fallen?"

"So that's what you think. Do you have any good ideas for your family?" Li Bai looked at the others and asked.

"I think that we should send important officials as envoys to Juehua Island to negotiate, find out the intention of the Celestial Dynasty, and take the initiative to clean up the treacherous ministers and treacherous ministers in the court, especially during the national crisis, the rebels who colluded with the Qing Tartars, issued a list and captured the entire clan in case of the Celestial Dynasty's crimes." Another voice sounded, and Jin Tai didn't have to look at it, and he knew that the person was Chen Wenchuan, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty.

After Huang Taiji conquered Korea, he asked Li Bai's father and uncle to be hostage to Shengjing. It was not until the Qing Dynasty entered the pass that Dorgon was released. During the ten years of the Qing Dynasty, many former Ming scholars were captured by the Qing people and were slaves. These people returned to Korea with Li Bai's father and served him. Chen Wenchuan was also Li Bai's master. When the Qing Dynasty was still alive, the two generations of Kings of Korea only dared to let these Ming dynasties serve as attendants, and even did not dare to let them live in Seoul. Instead, they set up a village for him outside the city, called the Imperial Village. However, the Qing Dynasty's destruction empire rose, and the status of these Han people in Korea rose. Chen Wenchuan was able to become an official. In just two years, he was promoted to the Judicial Secretariat of the Li Cao, and the second-rank official position was the same as the Minister of Rites in the former Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Bai's face flushed and obviously moved. However, seeing that the voices in the hall were boiling, someone had already stood up to accuse Chen Wenchuan of bewitching people and causing party struggles. He quickly patted the table and asked, "What do you think, do you think?"

Of course, Jin Teng was not allowed. The treacherous traitor Chen Wenchuan wanted to clean up. Jin Teng was the number one. Because when the Qing Dynasty was still alive, his father Jin Zidian was appointed by the Qing Dynasty to discuss politics, helping the Qing Dynasty to be enemies with the empire, and paying money and food. It was a very evil crime. How could he support the liquidation of himself?

"I think it's inappropriate." Jin Teng said loudly: "This move is like holding firewood to put out fires. The fire will not be extinguished. Early and late, the three hundred years of my Li Dynasty will be destroyed on it. Have the king forgotten what happened last year?"

Li Bai could not forget that when the empire was first established, both the Western and Eastern Dynasties and the Southern Dynasties wanted to win the orthodox status of the Li Dynasty from the empire. At that time, Li Bai did not think that his qualifications would be lower than the other two sides. After all, the pseudo-king supported by the regime in the south was not the Li family, and it might not even be the royal family of the Li Dynasty. The Eastern Dynasties were similar. You should know that the empire did not recognize the Qing Dynasty as a dynasty of the empire, but only believed that it was a huge and long-lasting local rebellion. Since the Qing Dynasty was a rebellion, it was only supported by the rebellion. The Eastern Dynasties once supported the pseudo-Ming and the capital of Nanjing. In terms of the crimes committed against the empire, the Eastern Dynasties and the Eastern Dynasties were on the starting line. He also sent envoys to verify this from the empire and received a positive reply from the Lifanyuan.

Because of this, Li Bai repeatedly showed kindness to the empire over the past two years, especially much more radical than what the Eastern Dynasty did. In order to prove his sincerity, Li Bai and Jin Bin cleaned up all the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in the Western Kingdom. First, the Eight Banners soldiers who fled to Korea, and then the Li Dynasty nobles who had a marriage or close relationship with the Qing Dynasty. These nobles were directly implicated in the nine tribes, so that 50,000 or 60,000 people were sent to Shenyang and the capital to question the crime. Of course, most of them had been sent to Yunzhong and Yanbei appeasement zones, and slave flag servants were incorporated into the empire to expand the territory.

But what did he get from such a show of kindness? Li Bai knew very well that he had not obtained anything. He had not obtained the empire's exemption, nor had he obtained the orthodox status. Now, the imperial fleet came to his door. Will he have to liquidate another group of people? But what if he doesn't get recognition? After liquidation, can his position be saved in the end?
