Chapter 30: Ghosts and monsters

Next to the second floor guardrail, Ye Zhao smoked silently and looked into the distance.

The north wind blew, and the cold air was slightly thorny. Ye Zhao's body was fine, but when he looked at the graceful and delicate brocade breasts wearing red fur, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You go into the house, what's the best thing to do with me to blow the wind?"

Jin***'s eyes were flowing, and she smiled and said, "I am willing to accompany the master for the rest of my life."

Ye Zhao smiled, snatched out the cigarette butt, and said, "Okay, let's go back together."

Jin***'s little red leather shoes walked a few steps in the cat steps, opened the iron door of the cabin, made a gesture of inviting him, Ye Zhao shook his head, then entered the boat room, and said to the two female guards next to the guardrail: "Come in too." The sea breeze was cold and it would be a serious errand to stay outside to protect him.

The two guards hurriedly bowed and responded, and they followed them in after Jin***'s breasts entered the house.

The two female guards were called Xiaohong and Xiaolu, both dressed as maids, pretending to be the personal maids of the prince and the concubine respectively. In fact, they were both good kung techies with hidden pistols.

Ye Zhao held Jin***'s delicate little hand and vented, saying, "It's a cold day, touch the iron lump. Fortunately, our door handle has a sheath. Otherwise, it will stick to the snow and ice, and the skin will be removed as soon as it is pulled." Looking at Jin***'s delicate and white Kodan hand, he vented, Ye Zhao kissed gently, and Jin***'s giggled and retracted his hand.

Xiaohong and Xiaolu stood by the door, without looking sideways, but just looked carefully, and her beautiful little face turned slightly red.

The room was still warm, and Jinzhao's breasts took off her fur. Ye Zhao was stunned. She was wearing red leather jackets and leather pants, tightly wrapped around her delicate and sexy body, her slender and soft waist, small and seductive buttocks, weak legs, extremely tempting curves. Paired with a pair of red high heels, she was so sexy and beautiful that she was so sexy and beautiful, and she was so beautiful that she was so beautiful that she was very modern.

"Is this done?" Ye Zhao came to his senses for a while. He talked to Jinfeng about his favorite leather jacket styles a few months ago. But she didn't expect her to tinker with secretly. I thought it was not enough to just find a tailor to make leather jackets, but she wanted to find a way to process leather and color and wax it.

When Jin***'s uncle saw the expression of her husband, he knew that he liked him and felt happy. It was worth the effort.

"Dangdangdang", the iron gate was suddenly knocked from outside, and a man heard a voice: "Mr. Ye, two are missing, are you coming?" Ye Zhao knew that it was Mr. Cai, a reporter from Guangdong Daily, who lived next door to him, and Huang Wenxiu lived next door to him.

Today, this reporter is different from later generations. Those who can be reporters from several newspapers are all well-known literati and have excellent rewards. They are considered to be the group with higher incomes in Guangzhou. As for what he said, the two are missing, but the poker games he played in Ye Zhao and Huang Wenxiu these days, but they are actually Landlords in later generations. Needless to say, Ye Zhao taught them.

"I won't go!" Ye Zhao replied, seeing that the North Korean waters were already in front of him, and the landing point was naturally Incheon and Ganghwa Island, which is only a few dozen miles away from Seoul. It is an excellent port to restrain North Korea. Whether it is Japan or the United States, they have always been betting here.

This dynasty campaign was planned in advance, and someone would first give a message to the Ganghwa local government in Gyeonggi Province to see how the great king clan of the Lee Dynasty reacted.

"Prince, you're about to arrive in North Korea? I'm the first time I went abroad, and I really don't know what North Korea looks like." Jin***'s pretty face was very excited.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I'll know when I'm here."

...

When several steel giants roaring whistles suddenly appeared in Jianghua Bay, the residents on the island were immediately panicked. After receiving the envoys who were on the island on a small boat and the North Korean merchants accompanying him, the envoys hurried to the capital at night.

Standing on the deck of the Taihe River, watching the island residents with a thousand-mile mirror from the initial panic to slowly gathering near the beach, looking at several iron-armored steamships, watching the ragged artillery and the so-called sea defense cannons, Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart, and looking at them, it seemed as if he had seen the Qing Dynasty twenty years ago.

The Chinese warship suddenly appeared in Jianghua Bay and the mouth of the Han River. The news spread to the capital a few hours later. At the note from the Minister of Trade in the East, North Korea asked North Korea to expel the Northern Dynasties' pseudo-imperial envoys and pay tribute to the Southern Dynasties from then on. The Southern Dynasties will set up an embassy in Seoul. As for the trade between North Korea and the Southern Dynasties and the search for missing Western crew members, they need to meet with the King of Korea to discuss.

Seoul was shocked immediately. King Li Bing summoned all the ministers to discuss matters overnight. Some ministers were angry that they wanted to go to war with the Southern Dynasties. Some people said that the Southern Dynasties would eventually unify China. Some people advised the King to submit to the Southern Dynasties, but some even said no one had any opinions. After discussing for a few hours, the case was not decided. After Li Bing came to court, the entire Seoul immediately surged undercurrents. The clan groups all convened core members to discuss secretly, intending to gain a bright future for the family's future in this possible great change. Seoul's caves, small political groups were scattered and planned.

When Li Bing returned to the Jingde Palace with his tired body and was about to take a good night's sleep, he found that his favorite concubine Jin was waiting for him. Li Bing couldn't help but complain. Although he was less than 30 years old, his body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex in the past two years, and he was unable to do anything to his heart. He still had no offspring. He really felt sorry for his concubine, who was the beloved concubine of the palace. Now this concubine liked to talk about state affairs with him. He repeatedly advised the king to cherish his body, work diligently and love the people. While he loved the beauty of the palace, he had a headache and didn't want to listen to her preaching.

But speaking of this, the princess and foreign relatives interfered in politics have gradually become commonplace in the Li Dynasty, but Li Bing has no choice.

Seeing the king yawning into the bedroom, Concubine Jin was helpless. The king liked to play in the desert. All the lustful ministers knew that it was hard to say that they had any prestige among the court clans. However, when encountering this great change that might lead to the destruction of the country and the destruction of the tribe, the king still had no worries. He was so contented that he was really confused or sad. But then again, the king had no intention of being ambitious and had a good life. Although it was a bit absurd, it was also a pleasing to love him. It was much more affectionate than the wise ruler.

"My beloved concubine, haven't you been asleep yet?" Li Bing sighed and said, "The state affairs are difficult, and the state affairs are difficult. I want to have a good sleep and think about it again."

Concubine Jin was even more helpless, but she could only chuckled: "Your Majesty, you have been working hard for half a day. It is time to rest early and maintain your spirits to suppress the rebellion and settle the country."

Li Sheng laughed: "You said that too, right? I am very tired, my beloved concubine, let me sleep with you."

Concubine Jin nodded gently, but asked again: "Your Majesty, I wonder what strategy has been agreed on in the court today to deal with the southern country?"

Li Bing laughed and said, "This is not a big deal. Zhao Bingkui is right. This is the business of the Qing Dynasty. The envoys of the Northern Qing Dynasty have been notified to ask him to think of a solution. Whether they fight or reconcile, they are their own regulations. What are we doing?"

Concubine Jin frowned slightly and said, "Although the words of Li Cao make sense, Seoul is thousands of miles apart from Beijing. Are we waiting for the Qing Dynasty to obtain the regulations? We can wait, but the gunboats in the southern country are afraid they can't wait."

Li Bing said: "Drag it, drag it for a day."

Concubine Jin asked: "What are you going to do if the king and all the ministers?"

Li Bing blinked his eyes and said, "I said I am sick and cannot meet the envoys of the South for the time being."

Concubine Jin was speechless and wanted to wait for another word, but saw Li Bing stretching and said, "I'm tired, I'm tired, I'll take a break first." Without waiting for Concubine Jin to speak, she swayed towards the inner room. Concubine Jin looked at his back, feeling helpless.

Anguodong Ancient Mo Hall.

I was still the same backbone of the Fengran Zhao family.

The old man with white beard was zipping his beard and smiling: "The envoy of the Qing Dynasty said, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would definitely send troops to suppress the rebellion. At that time, we will not only drive away the people of the southern country, but also use the hands of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to cut off the Andong Jin family in one fell swoop. Yuanjun, you are so high!"

Zhao Bingkui smiled and said, "Uncle Second, I don't think so. Didn't the second uncle hear the message from the inquirer? There were hundreds of cannons in the South China Railway. The cannons had tested the reefs, and the fire bombs bloomed, which had a shocking power. Could it be that the second uncle thought it was just a rumor?"

The old man with white beard snorted, "It's just a force on the outside but a man, just a scare. What kind of world did those young men have seen? They peeed their pants when they were scared."

Zhao Bingkui said, "Uncle Second, even if he is scaring people, don't think about it. How many hours will it take to wait for the six kings of the Qing Dynasty to send their troops? One month or two months? Will the warships of the southern country be waiting at sea and waiting?"

The old man with white beard said in confusion: "Isn't this your advice to the king to drag the southern country?"

Zhao Bingkui smiled: "That's the King and the Jin family who are dragged by him, but we can't. I'll go to Jianghua now, so I can't be snatched away by the Jin family."

Everyone in the Zhao family was stunned, and then suddenly realized it and immediately praised it. Another old man smiled and said, "Yuanjun, the two old fools in the Jin family have been fooled this time."

Zhao Bingkui smiled and said nothing.

...

In the lounge of Zhenhai Building, Ye Zhaozheng discussed the search for seafarers with US Consul Machason. On the side of the table, the beautiful female officer Ding Qimei was drinking coffee silently without saying a word.

Ye Zhao stirred the coffee with a spoon and said, "Dear John, I am frank, it's too long, and the possibility of two crew members in your country's survival is very slim. Here I can only express my deep regret and try my best to get reasonable compensation for the two crew members."

McChason shrugged and said sadly: "I know this, but no matter what, I must bring the bones back to the country and return to the roots."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, picked up the coffee and took a sip. At this time, the door of the lounge was gently knocked, and then the Minister of Commerce of Dongyang Zhang Youcun walked in. When Ye Zhao saw it, he smiled and said, "Is Zhao Bingkui leaving?"

"Yes." Zhang Youcun invited the prince to An, and then stood up to answer respectfully.

Ye Zhao stood up and walked to the glass window, but saw a group of North Korean officials boarding the boat. On the deck, two rows of infantry wearing grass-green military uniforms and steel helmets were saluting and saluting each other.

"Salute-Hello!" When this extremely loud sound of the sound of long sounds, Zhao Bingkui was really shocked. When he looked back, he saw a bayonet like a forest, and the white gloves of the heroic soldier swept out neat arcs, with a rainbow of momentum. Although there were only a dozen or twenty people, it seemed like thousands of people were moving forward.

Zhao Bingkui's heart trembled, was this Chinese officers and soldiers? It made people feel cool in their necks.

In the lounge room of the building, Ye Zhao turned his head and asked Zhang Youcun with a smile: "What did he say?" Zhao Bingkui is the head of the Fengrong Zhao clan, one of the two most powerful clans in Seoul. Now the Korean prince and concubine comes from the Fengrong Zhao clan, and this person is of great weight.

Zhang Youcun smiled and said, "He said he would work together with the Chinese emperor and would not recognize the legitimacy of the fake king. When he returned, he would convince them to the Korean king to surrender to the southern country. However, the Anton Kim family has always been secretly engaging in the tune with the fake king of Beijing. He has great resistance and hopes to get our support."

Zhao Bingkui almost came with the documents that Li Bing claimed to be sick, which is naturally conceivable.

"Prince, I promised to support him as you ordered." Zhang Youcun said, and said hesitantly: "But, as far as Bei Zhi knows, Zhao Bingkui's adoptive father and uncle were forced to death by the Jin family a few years ago. The two families can be said to have a deep hatred. Bei Zhi was worried that he wanted to kill people with a knife. Fengran Zhao's family has always been conservative, and the massacre of missionaries was done by the Zhao family. Bei Zhi does not believe that he will reach a consensus with us on business matters."

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and waved his hand: "A generation has its own ideas. Will the Zhao family become an enlightened faction? Will the enlightened faction be in our interests? However, these are not the problems. I promise to support him, but isn't the limit of support in our hands?"

Zhang Youcun bowed and said, "What the prince is saying." He thought to himself that he was worried about nothing. When it comes to foreign affairs, who can help the prince?

Ye Zhao slowly picked up the coffee cup and thought about this matter in North Korea. The current king Li Bing seems to be carved from the same mold as Tongzhi in history. They are all lustful and debauchery, and they all died young. Thinking about it now, it seems that Li Bing only has two or three years of life and will not have children, otherwise there would not be Princess Mingcheng entering the palace in a few years in the TV series.

I wonder if it would make Li Bing die early when he came to open the country early. Thinking about whether it was Emperor Xianfeng or Emperor Tongzhi, he died early because he flapped his butterfly wings. Emperor Tongzhi in Guangzhou today has long been no longer Tongzhi in history.

But I heard that Li Bing is very broad-minded. Will the arrival of Chinese gunboats make him work hard to prolong his life?

Thinking about all the possibilities, Ye Zhao gradually fell into deep thought.

...

Three days later, the Chinese fleet was still anchored in the bay, with neither North Korean officials coming to see each other, nor military ships coming to expel them.

Standing on the deck and looking at Jianghua Island, Ye Zhao asked lightly: "Have you ever told Zhao Bingkui about the three-day deadline?"

Zhang Youcun hurriedly bowed and said, "The officials said it again and again, cautiously and cautiously, and they told Zhao Bingkui clearly."

Pei Tianqing, deputy general of the Pingyuan Navy and the Zhenhai Management Manager, also stood beside Ye Zhao, and said hatefully: "The North Koreans are arrogant and should teach them a lesson."

Zhang Youcun said: "I'm afraid Zhao Bingkui was trying to confuse this matter on purpose."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, turned to Pei Tianqing and said, "Send a signal to get Jingbo near Jianghua Island to replenish tamsui."

Pei Tianqing was happy when he was about to start, and he shouted excitedly and took the order away.

Ye Zhao stretched out his hand, and Xiaolu came to the telescope.

Ye Zhao did not want to land in North Korea as an invader, but, nowadays, because of inertial thinking, the Koreans are afraid that they will still agree with the Northern Dynasties more. Regardless of whether Zhao Bingkui was damning, it is necessary to put some pressure on the Koreans.

In the Qianli Mile Mile, Jingbo gradually approached Caozhi Fort. Soon, the flames flashed. The North Korean turret first caught fire, and then, balls of flames exploded around the fort, almost without any effort. Before the Jingbo could enter the range of the North Korean turret, it had already blown up its fort into pieces.

Then, several small boats were lowered from the Jingbo, and more than a hundred navy land infantry rushed to Jianghua Island. The banging gunshots gradually subsided in less than a quarter of an hour.

The current southern infantry against the Korean coastal defense forces is almost no different from modern weapons against the primitive people. After the war ended in more than ten minutes, no one of the navy's infantry was slightly injured, killing three North Korean soldiers, injuring more than a dozen, and capturing more than 70 people. If it were not for the strict order of killing less and not killing, they would have massacred them early.

Qianlijing looked at the captured Korean soldiers kneeling in a row on the beach, and Ye Zhao turned his head and ordered: "Let's go around."

Ye Zhao said softly, then three gunboats set off. In half a day, several of the bullets on the Ganghwa Island security guards were all destroyed. Dozens of shore defense soldiers were shot dead, hundreds of prisoners, and several local artillery were captured. The navy and land infantry even cut melons and vegetables into Jianghwa Mansion, capturing Li Da, the envoy of Jianghwa Mansion alive, and occupying this small island with an area of ​​more than 20 kilometers from north to south, east to west.

In fact, although Jianghua Prefecture is called a mansion, it is just a small village. I am afraid that the houses built by Chinese gentry against bandits are more defensive than them. Pingyuan's army formed its own army and had never fought such an easy battle.

When Zhang Youcun met Li Da, he only said that he wanted him to send a message to the King of Korea. The two countries were originally a sect leader and did not want to meet him. Now the King of Korea neglected the envoys of Shangbang in the waters and ignored them. This was to insult the Chinese regent, the Chinese emperor and the two empress dowagers. Later, the Korean army launched a riot. The Heavenly Army of Shangbang was punished slightly and asked the King of Korea to send envoys to welcome the Angel of Shangbang. Otherwise, after the ten-day deadline, Seoul would be turned into powder.

Li Da left with great gratitude, but the conflict on Jianghua Island, which was not worth mentioning for the Pingyuan army, quickly made Seoul chaos. The clan court officials had different reactions, some of whom wanted to fight the Pingyuan army to the death, some of whom were in panic all day long, and even more, some of who secretly sent people to meet the envoys of the Southern Kingdom were even more likely to be present.

...

In the warm pavilion of Jiaotai Hall, Jin Fei was drinking tea with her father Jin Wengen.

Jin Wengen looked angry, and blue veins bulged on his forehead. It was rare to see him so angry.

Concubine Jin felt like a big stone was pressed down. She just learned from the king that the princess announced his political affairs. She said that Zhao Bingkui was originally familiar with a businessman in the southern mission. Now she has asked the merchants to mediate. The southern country is strong, with strong ships and powerful cannons, and has gradually become the orthodox Chinese. At this time, she paid tribute to the southern country, avoiding the disaster of North Korea's war. Moreover, the southern country agreed to protect North Korea from foreign invasion.
