Daming Military Empire

Chapter 205
Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty will visit the capital of Joseon, Seoul, to preside over the imperial examination of Yihai Enke. This news was personally informed by Huang Daozhou, the missionary envoy of the Ming Dynasty, to the King of Korea, Lingyang Jun, Li Ji. It was naturally not fake news, and the entire Joseon court was shocked for a while. Well, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to the vassal kingdom. This is a major event that has never happened in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty. In the 2000-year history of North Korea, no emperor from the Central Plains Dynasty has ever visited. What kind of etiquette should be used is the most important issue.

It should be said that although the Joseon Dynasty did not regard itself as a part of the Ming Dynasty in essence, it still did a good job on the surface. When the DPRK dispatched canonization envoys, hanging sacrificial envoys and other envoys to arrive in Seoul, the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, the king of Joseon had to go to the Western Suburbs of the Yingeun Gate in person to hold a grand ceremony of "Welcome Edict".But that was the envoy of Ming Dynasty, not His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Then when the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came, the king of Joseon would greet him not only from the capital of Daming, but at least to the border of the feudal kingdom.

Fortunately, Huang Daozhou told them that the emperor came here by boat, and it is enough to go to Incheon Port to greet him. Otherwise, it would be a month to walk from Seoul to the border of Liaodong in the ice and snow. If you walk fifty miles, you can get there in an hour or two if you slow down.

As for etiquette, how high should it be?For this reason, Lord Lingyang and Li Yu called a group of ministers to discuss for several days, but no result came out. They even proposed to spread the red carpet from Incheon Port to Yingen Gate in Seoul to show grandeur. Huang Daozhou disagreed with this point. , Just kidding, that's four or fifty miles, so it's such a waste of time, besides, the emperor always rides on a dragon chariot, and he can't step on it even if you lay it on.

Fortunately, regarding the issue of etiquette, the Ming court sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to convey the emperor's intentions. Just follow the etiquette of ordinary local officials to greet them. It doesn't need to be too special. The main thing is to prepare the place for the palace examination and the place where the emperor stays. .Hearing this, Li Zhen was finally relieved, the place is easy to manage, although there are many small palaces in North Korea, he immediately gave up the main palace, Changdeok Palace, and ordered someone to clean it spotlessly, and only waited for the emperor to come, and he himself moved to the Li Palace, Changqing Palace went.

The vassal state of North Korea is preparing to welcome the holy car, so where is the holy car for Zhu Cijiong?He is trying to ride his new flagship Sun Moon super battleship in Dongdaying. The 100-meter-long ship feels different. The three-story space is 1000 square meters. It is very empty for more than [-] people, and because of the hull The hugeness on the sea is like walking on the ground, it feels so cool.

Originally, he just wanted to come up and sit down. The main thing was to let his accompanying Jinyiwei guards and the sailor's selected master ship operators practice with the operation of the battleship. Learning how to control a sailboat is not something that can be done in a month or two. Therefore, he specially dispatched dozens of sailboat masters from the navy to control the Sun Moon, and prepared them to hone their cooperation for a few days, but this will be a very difficult time. He didn't want to go down when he came up, and he didn't feel satisfied with just sailing the boat, he still wanted to direct the artillery to fire!

Now Huanglong and Shi Kefa are very busy. Just shooting the shells into the water or on the beach will not show any effect. You have to hit the deck of the battleship to see the actual effect. Of course, it really makes the emperor. It is impossible for their battleships to explode. Fortunately, the decks of the battleships in Dongda Construction Shipyard are very well prepared. Just build some simple models on the beach, and the effect will be the same.

This eight-inch howitzer is really terrifying. It will blast through the thick battleship deck with a single shot. The guns were fired in unison, for a while the six guns were fired at the stern, and the twelve cannons at the bow and stern were fired at the same time.

It's not that Zhu Cijiong has had enough fun, but that the day of departure has arrived. It takes at least three days to sail from Tianjin Xingang in Dongdaying to Incheon Port at the speed of a sailboat. Departed on the [-]th.

Although he was not going to war this time, Zhu Cijiong still brought a lot of troops to deter the vassal states. The artillery is fully equipped, and it is enough to support the scene, so the Beiyang Navy has a total of 100 super battleships, plus [-] Dafu ships, and a total of [-] large ships tens of meters long guard the [-]-meter-long sun. On the moon, that scene is even more terrifying than the aircraft carrier formation of the United States.

As for the army, he only brought [-] elite troops from the First Corps of the Imperial Guard this time, but Jin Yiwei brought [-]!
After sailing at sea for three days, the huge fleet finally arrived at Incheon Port on the morning of March NO. Elsewhere, there is not a single ship on the sea, but there are crowds of people along the port, and there are more civilians watching the excitement than the Guan Ning army.

These are all confessed by Zhu Cijiong. He asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to tell the Joseon Renzu Li Zhen that the emperor loves to be lively, and the more people who came to welcome him, the happier he would be.In fact, he just wanted North Korean officials and people to see how powerful Daming really is.

In order to maximize the deterrent effect, Zhu Cijiong specially arranged the Beiyang Navy fleet into six rows, with one hundred ships in each row, with the battleship in the front, the Sun and Moon in the middle, and the Dafu ship in the rear. The width of the entire fleet reached a terrifying 20 miles. , The thickness is also four or five miles, giving people the feeling that even if you look horizontally, you can't see the end, and you can't see the end even if you look vertically!

When the North Korean officials at the port and the people on both sides of the strait saw the huge fleet, they were all stunned. How many warships there are, so many warships, and so many cannons, let alone seeing them, they never even thought about it , Daming is so powerful!

Even Lingyang Lord Li Yu was shocked when he saw such a huge fleet. He didn't come back to his senses until the huge hull of the Sun Moon covered the sky and sea in front of him. Yue Hao, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock, such a huge battleship, so many artillery, all the warships in North Korea combined are not enough for this battleship to bomb a few times!
The Riyue is not only big, but as the emperor's car, it can be equipped with a lot of good things, even equipped with several gourds for hoisting the gun barrel. When the huge escalator is hoisted down, let alone North Korea Hundreds of officials, even Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong, and Huang Daozhou were shocked. How heavy is such a large escalator?

After the escalator was built, two rows of Jinyiwei came down first, maybe 300 people, then two rows of eunuchs, maybe 300 people, and then two rows of maids slowly laid down the long red carpet Finally, Cao Huachun stood at the entrance of the escalator and screamed out of luck: "The emperor is here!"

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'hh!" Long live."

Zhu Cijiong's figure appeared at the escalator entrance. He is almost 13 years old. Maybe it's because of his good nutrition, or maybe he's "mature" early. In the past year, he has grown like a green onion on dry land. At this time, his height has reached 1.6 meters. Ji, no longer looks like a child, but fully possesses the majesty of an emperor.

He walked down the escalator slowly and came to the front of the officials, and then said loudly: "Everyone loves you."

Everyone immediately said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then they slowly got up from the ground.

After Huang Daozhou got up, he walked up to Zhu Cijiong respectfully, and introduced Li Zhen with his hand, "Your Majesty, this is the king of North Korea, Lingyang Jun Li Zhen."

Zhu Cijiong nodded slightly, and was about to say something, when Lingyang Jun Li Yu suddenly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I was confused for a while, and I listened to the slander, and I didn't leave Houjin in time and returned to the Daming vassal. I also ask the emperor to forgive me."

Now that he is in the stage of assimilation experiments, Zhu Cijiong will naturally not haggle over such a trivial matter with him. He pretends to be magnanimous and said: "Well, it's good to be able to correct the mistakes. Get up."

Lingyang Jun Li Yu got up thankfully, Zhu Cijiong began to ask about the situation of Houjin's invasion, and Lingyang Jun Li Ying answered them one by one.

When he heard that North Korea was defeated by Dabeile Amin after [-], the Golden Iron Cavalry was defeated. He couldn't help but feel moved. He pointed at the Guanning Army officers and soldiers around him and said, "Li Aiqing, your soldier training is a bit poor. Ah, look at my Guan Ning Army, when they fought against Jiannu at the city of Shengjing, they were the ones who defeated the [-] cavalry personally led by Huang Taiji, and you have more than [-] troops in the whole country, yet Amin led [-] cavalry It’s a bit unreasonable to be beaten completely.”

Lingyang Lord Li Yu thought that Zhu Cijiong was looking for him, and he broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and quickly explained: "How can this little minister be compared with the great Ming army? In fact, Hou Jin is too fierce, please ask the emperor to look into it."

Zhu Cijiong didn't blame him for passive resistance, but wanted to take this opportunity to control the army of the subordinate country. He smiled and said: "It's all over, forget it, I will find a way to help you improve the combat power of the army in the future, and save you a whole day." Being bullied."

Lingyang Lord Li Yan thought that Zhu Cijiong was really thinking of him when he heard the words, and quickly said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cijiong laughed secretly in his heart, hehe, I really think that I will train the army for you for free, and the combat power of the army will be improved by then, but I don't know if it will be in your hands or not.
