Li Jie stood on the four boards at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast ocean in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a very complicated emotion in his heart, and he also hummed his favorite song in his previous life:

"The sea is smiling, the tides surging on both sides of the shore. The ups and downs are recorded today, the sky is smiling, and the tides in the world are everywhere. Whoever loses and wins, God knows..."

He also floated in the sea with a siege, but unfortunately Li Jie couldn't do the free and easy way in the song. From time to time traveling, to now in the officialdom, he has been plotting and fighting with others almost all the time. Even his marriage to Zhu Yuning is also full of plotting and interests, which is not in line with Li Jie's nature at all.

Sometimes Li Jie really wants to put aside everything now and be as sarcastic as in the song. Unfortunately, this idea just flashed by and was quickly rejected by him. After all, he had too many things to let go, and even if he was really cruel to let go, someone forced him to pick it up again.

In fact, Li Jie's current state is similar to that of office workers in later generations, which is what later generations call "workers" on the Internet. Others' bosses may only control the wages of workers, but Li Jie's boss is the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who controls Li Jie's life. Speaking of which, Li Jie is much worse than ordinary workers.

"Li Bandu, further forward is the territory of Goryeo!" At this moment, Fang Guan came over to report to Li Jie.

Li Jie woke up from his thoughts when he heard this and looked forward immediately. He saw that some land could be seen vaguely between the sea and the sky in the distance.

Li Jie and his fleet set off from Zhoushan, headed north along the coastline of the Ming Dynasty, and finally turned east through Dengzhou, and finally arrived at the coast of Goryeo. They only sailed near the sea, because in this era, sailing far sea was a very dangerous thing, so most of the ships going to sea sailed on the coast.

"How much time will it take to arrive in Kaicheng?" Li Jie asked again.

Kaesong is the capital of Goryeo. In fact, Kaesong was the Kaesong in later years in North Korea. The 38th Line and Panmunjom were near Kaesong, very close to the coast. It is said that there is also a port along the coast, which is specifically used for communication between Kaesong and the outside world, so Kaesong is also a coastal city.

"It will be possible to arrive in about half a day!" Fang Guan replied again.

"Very good? How many days will I stop at Jianghua Island near Kaicheng? Goryeo has agreed to provide us with some supplies!" Li Jie nodded after hearing this. Before the fleet set off, the Jinyiwei had already contacted Goryeo. To be precise, it was the powerful Goryeo minister Li Chenggui? In order to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty, the other party was willing to provide many conveniences.

"I understand!" Fang Guan nodded immediately. Then he discussed the fleet with Li Jie. Then he retreated.

As soon as Fang Guan left, Jiang Guan immediately stepped forward and said, "Li Bandu, the person has been sent out!"

"Very good, how many days will I go to Peking?" Li Jie nodded first? Then he asked again? Peiping is the capital of later generations. It was originally a capital of the Yuan Dynasty. After being defeated by Xu Da, it was renamed Beiping Prefecture. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital and then renamed Beijing.

"The people sent to take a speedboat? They travel across the entire Bohai Sea to Tianjin Wei, and then from Tianjin Wei to Peking? It will take at least two or three days!" Jiang Yan thought for a while and replied. He was promoted from the bottom of the Jinyiwei? He has been to the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, so he is very familiar with these journeys.

"The time is just right! Is there a navy in Tianjin Wei?" Li Jie asked again.

"Is there? Tianjin Wei and Dengzhou are all stationed by the Northern Navy? They are enough to transport a considerable force!" Jiang Yan replied again.

"Is this a waste of trouble? I hope King Yan will not let me down!" Li Jie smiled slightly when he heard this. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably meet the legendary Zhu Di this time. In fact, he would have to call him Uncle Wang.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Zhu Di is one of the better ones, but he has no intention of rebelling now. First, Lao Zhu is still alive, and second, his eldest brother Zhu Biao is also alive, so he dare not have the idea of ​​rebelling even if he kills Zhu Di.

Even if Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne later, if he hadn't forced him too much, Zhu Di would not have rebelled.

But look at what Zhu Yunwen did after ascending the throne. After only one year of ascending the throne, he cut off all his five uncles, forcing the Xiang King's family to burn themselves. This is not a vassal of the vassal state, it is simply a life-threatening.

At that time, Zhu Di was so scared that he sent all his three sons to Nanjing to show that he had no intention of rebellion, but Zhu Yunwen did not intend to let Zhu Di go at all. It can be said that Zhu Di would die if he did not rebel at that time, so he was forced to raise an army in the end and had no preparations in advance.

Even when Zhu Di rebelled, he actually had the determination to die, because he had too few troops in his hands. To fight against the entire Ming Dynasty with Beiping was simply a hit of a stone with an egg. However, history was so wonderful that Zhu Di actually won in the end, and the history of the Ming Dynasty completely turned, and Zhu Di also became a legendary emperor.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie was more looking forward to his upcoming meeting with Zhu Di. He didn't know what kind of person was this Emperor Chengzu in history? Maybe he didn't have the courage to rebel, but as a prince and a person who became an emperor in history must have ambitions that ordinary people do not have?

The fleet continued to move forward. After a long time, the land in front was clearly visible. There was Jianghua Island in Goryeo. This island was very close to the land and even the strait between the land was extremely narrow, just like a river. Because the water in the river was sea water, it was called the Salt River by Goryeo.

Jianghua Island also happened to be between Kaicheng and the sea. Originally, the land on the island was barren, and at first it was just for exile prisoners. However, with the prosperity of sea trade, a port was also established on Jianghua Island for communication between Kaicheng and the outside world, so a prosperous county town was gradually formed on the island, named Jianghua County.

Li Jie and his fleet were too large, and they were discovered by the Goryeo before they even approached Jianghua Island. The officials from the port immediately came forward to ask. When they learned that it was a fleet from the Ming Dynasty and the navy of the Ming Dynasty, the Goryeo did not dare to neglect them and immediately asked them to dock in the port.

As soon as Li Jie's ship landed, a Goryeo official asked for a visit. It was probably Li Chenggui had already arranged it, so Li Jie immediately asked the other party to board the ship.

What surprised Li Jie was that the Goryeo official who came was not very old, and looked only in his twenties, with a heroic appearance and extraordinary demeanor, even when facing Li Jie, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

"The ceremony of Li Fangyuan pays homage to the Angel of Ming!" The visitor bowed to Li Jie. He did not know Li Jie's identity, but only knew that Li Jie came to represent the Ming Dynasty.

"Your surname is Li, who are you?" Li Jie was also looking at each other curiously. At this time, he also felt that the name Li Fangyuan sounded a little familiar. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"He Ningjun is my father!" Li Fangyuan replied that He Ningjun was Li Chenggui's title in Goryeo. After seizing Goryeo's military and political power, he granted himself a long list of official positions and titles. This He Ningjun is just one of them.

When Li Jie heard this, he finally remembered that Li Fangyuan was Li Chenggui's son, and Li Fangyuan in history was quite awesome. The reason why Li Chenggui was able to establish the imperial dynasty was that Li Fangyuan made great contributions. Even when Li Chenggui was old, the power fell into Li Fangyuan's hands. In order to seize the throne, Li Fangyuan launched two coups, and even the prince established by Li Chenggui was killed by him. Li Chenggui also became a puppet in his hands. In the end, Li Fangyuan won the throne and became the third king of North Korea.

"So it's the son of Ning Jun, please sit down!" After learning about the other party's identity, Li Jie finally smiled a little and asked the other party to sit down.

Li Fangyuan gave in a few moments, but finally sat opposite Li Jie. Then Li Jie said again: "Ling Zun sent you here, but what did you say?"

"My father didn't say anything, he just said that a Ming fleet was coming, and asked me to mobilize a batch of supplies to the port to obey the orders!" Li Fangyuan replied honestly.

"Blame me and blame me. I didn't explain it clearly with He Ningjun in advance. In fact, in addition to supply, I have another important matter to discuss with He Ningjun. I wonder if Li Dianli can go back. Please come and discuss it with Ningjun in person!" Li Jie smiled again.

"I need my father to come in person?" Li Fangyuan was shocked when he heard this. Although his father held great power, there were still many people in Goryeo who opposed their father and son. Therefore, Li Chenggui stayed in Kaicheng for many years and did not dare to leave half a step. Even though Jianghua Island is very close to Kaicheng, it will take two days to go back and forth. If others know about it, someone may take the opportunity to make trouble.

Thinking of the above, Li Fangyuan hesitated for a moment and said again: "I don't know what kind of thing it is? My father trusts me quite a lot. I can help my father handle some affairs. If it is not a particularly important thing, I can make the decision for my father!"

Li Jie looked at Li Fangyuan after hearing this, as if he was weighing the other party's weight. After a while, he said again: "Li Dianli, do you know what the purpose of our fleet is?"

"This... I don't know!" Li Fangyuan hesitated and shook his head. In fact, when he saw such a huge fleet of Ming Dynasty, he was also shocked. Although their father and son had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, they were still wary of such a huge monster.

"Originally, our trip was a military secret, but it's okay to tell you father and son. In fact, we came for the Japanese pirates!" Li Jie said slowly.

"Japanese pirates!" Li Fangyuan stood up in shock when he heard this. Compared to the Ming Dynasty, they were the number one target of the Japanese pirates, especially in the southern part of Goryeo, who were deeply harmed by the Japanese pirates. Unfortunately, their country was weak in power and was unable to deal with the Japanese pirates' raids.
