Volume Four, Chapter 151, King Gongxian

In Busan, in the Gyeongsang-Yuan Naval Army’s Jiedu camp, North Korea’s King Gongheng Lee Yoon took a group of officials in auspicious clothes and stood respectfully on the Navy Pier.

He naturally received the manifesto issued by the Ming Dynasty, and he hated the Japanese pirates to the core, because the Japanese pirates not only invaded the coast of the Ming Dynasty, but also plundered the coast of Korea more frequently, and the kings of all dynasties in Korea were extremely troubled.

Of course, even if he hates the Japanese pirates, he will not be able to organize a large army to conquer, because North Korea cannot defeat Japan at all. If he dares to take the initiative to conquer Japan, all the princes from Japan will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack and attack them in North Korea. He is quite clear about this.

The reason why he led a group of officials to the Qingshang Youdao Navy Army Jiedu camp was mainly to welcome the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Tutor, the Marquis of Hui'an, and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Yang Cong.

The Grand Tutor, that is the highest among the Ming officials. Although he is the king, he is actually not even as good as the vassal kings in the Ming official system. The vassal kings are at least a royal family and have a higher official position, and at most he is equivalent to a governor.

This time, the Grand Tutor Yang Cong personally led his army to come, and he dared not stay in the palace and ignore it.

He started to organize people to wait at the dock just after noon. For the whole afternoon, no trace of ships was seen on the sea. All the officials, including the soldiers standing guard around the dock, frowned secretly. Only he, who had been with the officials who had been in contact with the Ming Dynasty, stood there respectfully without any impatience.

By the way, is this guy crazy? He took hundreds of officials and thousands of soldiers to stand here for an afternoon in vain. He was so idle that he felt sore or something?

Actually, he has no problem with his brain.

This is a kind of attitude, an attitude of expressing respect to the Ming Taishi.

Of course, he knew that Denglai Water City was more than a thousand miles away from the Qingshang Right Road Naval Army Jiedu Battalion. Even if the Ming Navy fleet set off early in the morning and was smooth sailing, it would take sunset as soon as possible to arrive. If the wind direction was wrong, it would be good to arrive at night.

Logically speaking, even if he had dinner, he could still lead the crowd to welcome him, but he started preparing at the dock and waited.

Others may have complaints in their hearts, but the officials of the Ministry of War who came to contact him were full of relief.

That's right. As a king of a vassal state, he didn't have to care whether the officials under his command were satisfied or not. The most important thing was whether the officials of the Ming Dynasty were satisfied.

The sun sets, and just as everyone's legs were numb, a dense black dot suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.

The Ming Navy's fleet has finally arrived!

At this time, almost everyone's faces showed excitement.

After all, they had been waiting for an afternoon. As soon as the Great Ming Dynasty arrived, they could go back to have a meal and rest after following His Majesty the King.

However, as the Ming Navy fleet gradually approached, everyone's faces showed shock, because the Ming Navy's fleet was so scary.

They have seen the first Dafu Ship. Most of the important officials of the court in the vassal state of Korea have gone to the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty for further study. They must have seen the Fu Ship.

The problem is that they have only seen one or two ships at most, but this time, the lucky ships in the Ming Navy fleet were densely packed, with dozens of ships!

A lucky ship is like a sea castle. What is the concept of dozens of lucky ships slowly pressing over in neat formations?

The feeling was like seeing a group of giant beasts rushing towards us, which was so shocking that people couldn't move.

To be honest, King Gongxian Li Yi was also shocked. He did not expect that the Ming Navy was as powerful as this.

However, he was the lord of a country after all, and his spirit was still a little higher than his officials. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and shouted: "Carrange your appearance and prepare to welcome the envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven."

At this time, all the officials came to their senses and quickly pretended to pull their clothes and waved their sleeves to show that they were tidying up their appearance.

The Ming Navy fleet came faster than they thought. If it was an ordinary sailboat, it would take at least half an hour from appearing outside the port to approaching the dock, because the sailboat should pay attention to controlling its speed. After approaching the dock, it would have to lower the sails and slow down, otherwise it would not be able to stop the car and hit the dock directly.

This time, the Ming Navy fleet was abnormal and had no intention of slowing down. They just rushed to the dock. In less than a quarter of an hour, the fleet rushed to the dock.

At this time, the people on the dock could see clearly that the warships of the Ming Navy fleet had no sails, and there were only countless water wheels!

It’s not surprising that this water wheel is available in North Korea. Everyone present knows what water wheels do.

But they couldn't understand that with so many water wheels and such a large hull, how many people would have to work hard to move?

They were in amazement, all the water wheels suddenly stopped and then began to reverse. The Ming Navy fleet stopped in less than a stick of incense!

Immediately afterwards, a huge lucky boat came out, quickly approaching the dock, hanging down the ladder, and teams of Ming soldiers poured down like flowing water.

Then, a young man in a big red official robe led a group of Ming army generals down the ladder and walked towards them with great strides.

The official robe embroidered with a crane, who was a first-rank official of the Ming Dynasty!

King Gongxian Li Yi looked at it, and quickly waved his hand to welcome the officials with his subordinates, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said aloud: "The vassal king Li Yi and his subordinates welcome the envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom."

Other officials also lay on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom."

Seeing this, Yang Cong hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands with his hands: "Your Majesty, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."

When Li Yi heard this, he then got up from the ground and bowed: "The Lord led his army to rush for thousands of miles. It's hard all the way. Xiao Wang has prepared a small amount of wine in the Qingshang Right Naval Army camp. Why don't the Lord follow Xiao Wang to have some rest first?"

Yang Congyi bowed repeatedly and said, "The prince is intent. I don't know if the camp where the army is stationed is ready?"

Li Yi quickly pointed to the empty space behind the right side of the pier and said, "Xiao Wang has ordered people to clear the other side and level the ground. It should be no problem to station 50,000 troops."

Yang Cong looked carefully in the direction of his finger, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's your fault, please wait."

After saying that, he turned to the passage behind Yu Dayou and Qi Jing: "Zhifu, Shixian, you will immediately command the army to camp ashore, and all infantry will camp here. All the navy soldiers except the on-duty personnel on board will go ashore and rest for one night, and then return to Denglaishui City to pick up people tomorrow morning."

When Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said in unison: "I will understand it in the end."

Immediately afterwards, they began to direct their soldiers to land.

Because the port of Qingshang Right Road military port is too small, it can dock two Fu Ship warships or four Cangshan ships at a time, and the Ming army landed on the shore at an extremely slow speed.

However, the North Korean officials present were still scared because there were too many Ming soldiers, and their equipment was even more terrifying.

This guy, dozens of big lucky ships, two or three hundred Cangshan ships, were full of Ming soldiers. Moreover, almost everyone was carrying muskets and countless chariots. The artillery was constantly lifted from the warship, which was dazzling and the scalp was numb!

Yang Cong stationed at the dock for a while and communicated with the officials of the Ministry of War who arrived in advance. This time, he bowed to King Gongxian Li Yi and said, "Your Majesty is so polite. You have been waiting here for an afternoon. I guess everyone is tired and hungry. Otherwise, let's go to have a meal now?"

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help but look excited. Eating and other things were secondary. As long as the commander of the Heavenly Kingdom knew that he led the crowd to wait here for a whole afternoon, everything would be worth it.
