Da Qin's 230 armed merchant ships, plus the escorting 50 naval warships, formed a huge fleet. They had already set out to sea, riding the southeasterly wind and chopping the waves to sail north.
The red sun is shining in the sky, white clouds are scattered, and seagulls are flying. The sea is vast, the sky and water meet, the sky is as green as blue, and the scenery is extremely magnificent.
However, Tian Heng couldn't bear it. He held onto the side of the boat with a pale face and retched. He never got seasick when taking a boat on an inland river. However, since he went to sea eight days ago, he had vomited until his intestines almost came out.
After not eating anything for several days, except for some guts, there was really nothing to vomit. Tian Heng did not want to return to the stuffy cabin, so he held on to the side of the ship and lived on the deck for a while;
Suddenly, he found that Qi Bai, known as the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was even worse than himself. He was leaning on the starboard side, his eyes were white, and his limbs seemed to be paralyzed. This sight made Tian Heng want to laugh.
I can't say that I was gloating about his misfortune, but Tian Heng felt happy when he thought about how the powerful and powerful chela worshiper in the past had become softer than a girl.
Somehow, Tian Heng felt that his seasickness was much better after this enjoyment, and his chest felt much more relaxed.
The magical chela can actually cure seasickness, which is more effective than the medicine prescribed by the military doctor. Tian Hengyue felt more and more happy.
Most of the 10,000 troops dispatched by the Qin army had never been to sea, and there were many who were seasick like Tian Heng. The military doctor prescribed seasickness medicine to them, but the symptoms of most people did not alleviate, which made the chief commander Ning Yuan worried.
"Look, there's land, we see land!"
Suddenly someone on the boat shouted excitedly. Tian Heng looked around after hearing the sound (he could no longer find the north), and finally saw a vague mountain shadow on the sea in front of him.
Bursts of cheers came from all the ships. When the navy soldiers on the periphery saw the landlubbers like the army being so excited, they suddenly felt full of superiority. Many people couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Zhongqin's personal soldier Meng Yuan chirped and said with a crooked smile: "General, look at those landlubbers in the Army. What do you think the island in front of them looks like in their eyes?"
"Haha. What does it look like?" Liu Zhongqin touched the scar under his cheek and laughed.
"They are like hungry babies now. The island in front of them is like his mother's nipple in their eyes. It must be like this."
"Hahaha!"
Not only Liu Zhongqin, but also all the navy members laughed when they heard this.
Liu Zhongqin joked: "When North Korea is defeated, let's rename this island Naitou Mountain, so that the landlubbers in the Army will miss it, hahaha..."
"General, this is a wonderful idea, so wonderful!"
"Hey, General. That's not right. Aren't we here to fight against the slave establishment? Why did we turn into fighting against North Korea?"
"Damn it, it doesn't matter if it's slavery or Korea, anyone who doesn't obey will be beaten."
"Report, General, there are North Korean ships coming towards us!"
Liu Zhongqin couldn't care less about joking anymore and immediately ordered naval warships to be on alert. However, the fleet coming from North Korea was not a threat. But several small boats of its navy.
Liu Zhongqin sent a speedboat to negotiate with them. After the Koreans learned that this huge fleet was actually Qin's troops, their panic was slightly lessened, but they were still very vigilant.
One of the small boats followed the Qin army's speedboat to Liu Zhongqin's flagship. This kind of negotiation thing. Liu Zhongqin didn't want to get involved and directly ordered him to be taken to the army coach Ning Yuan.
After Ning Yuan met with the North Korean naval officer Yuhou, he learned that he was sent by Li Jun to patrol Jianghua Bay, and he had Li Jun's personal letter with him. Ning Yuan quickly asked him to go to Seoul to inform Li Jun.

The palace of the Lee Dynasty of Korea was called Gyeongbokgung Palace. The name of Gyeongbokgung Palace comes from the meaning of a sentence in the Chinese Book of Songs, "A gentleman will live forever, and he will be the king of Gyeongbokgung". Because it is located in the north of Seoul. Also called "Bei Que".
The main entrance of Gyeongbokgung Palace is Gwanghwamun.
To the east is Jianchun Gate.
To the west is Yingqiu Gate.
To the north is Shenwumen.
There are Qinzheng Hall, Ideological Hall, Kangning Hall, Jiaotai Hall, Ciqing Hall, Qinghui Tower, Xiangyuan Pavilion and other palaces in the palace. Among them, the main hall, Qinzheng Hall, is the main hall where North Korea holds official ceremonies and receives court meetings with hundreds of officials.
There are also Changdeokgung Palace and Gyeongwoon Palace. Changdeokgung Palace is in the east, so it is also called Dongque, and Gyeongwoon Palace is in the west, so it is also called West Palace.
The King of Joseon, Yi Ju, was fifty-three years old at the time. Due to the many blows he suffered over the years, coupled with the fierce domestic party strife and internal corruption, his health deteriorated day by day under heavy torture.
May is coming soon. This is the season when all things in North Korea come back to life. Li Zhu in Kangnyeong Palace is wearing a red python robe with a blanket outside, looking like a candle in the wind.
He dipped his ink and prepared to write a letter to Dorgon, hoping that Dorgon would put the crown prince Li Shu back because his health was getting worse day by day.
In December of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji raised 100,000 troops to attack North Korea. After North Korea was defeated, it was forced to sign seventeen terms of surrender: 1. The reign name of the Ming Dynasty should be removed, and the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty should be accepted. The imperial decree is printed. 2. When you come to pay homage, you will give your eldest son and another son as a pledge; 3. If the ministers have children, they will take their sons, and if they have no children, they will take their younger brothers as pledges;
4. The records of their comings and goings, as well as the edicts and edicts issued by me, or the envoys sent to pass on matters, the etiquette of meeting the envoys, the etiquette of accompanying the envoys to visit, and the etiquette of welcoming the envoys, do not violate the old rules of the Ming Dynasty; 5. If I conquer the Ming Dynasty, send edicts and dispatch envoys, and mobilize infantry, cavalry and boat divisions, I must not make any mistakes...
17. Tribute is paid once a year, and the number of items is: one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, two hundred pairs of buffalo horns, one hundred mink skins, one hundred deer skins, one thousand bags of tea, four hundred otter skins, and three green millet skins. One hundred sheets, ten measures of pepper, twenty-six waist knives, twenty sharp knives, two hundred catties of sumac, one thousand rolls of large paper, one thousand five hundred rolls of small paper, four collars of the five-clawed dragon mat, forty collars of the flower mat, Two hundred bundles of white ramie cloth, two thousand bundles of cotton silk, four hundred bundles of linen cloth, ten thousand bundles of fine cloth, four thousand bundles of cloth, and ten thousand bales of rice.
It can be seen from these clauses that in fact, the routine annual tribute to the Manchus was only a small part. What really overwhelmed North Korea was the continuous sending of troops and money to help the Manchus fight wars.
It can be said that these 17 surrender clauses have been like a curse on North Korea over the years, making North Korea almost breathless. Li Zhu also aged rapidly and became weak under this curse.
According to the second article, Li Zhu's eldest son Li Shu and second son Li Hao have been held hostage in Shenyang. Li Zhu felt that his health was getting worse and worse, medicines and stones were ineffective, and domestic party strife continued. He finally decided to ask Dorgon to put back his eldest son Li Bo and prepare to inherit the throne.
However, his seal had already been circulated before it left the Kangning Hall. Li Jun and Zuo Xiang Jin Yu hurried outside Kangning Hall to ask for a meeting.
According to the administrative structure of North Korea, under the king, there is an auxiliary agency - the government, whose chief officer is called "Ling Yizheng", commonly known as "Ling Xiang", which is equivalent to the prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty and the chief minister of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty.
Under Ling Yi Zheng are left and right Yi Zheng, commonly known as "Left Prime Minister" and "Right Prime Minister", which are the same as Ling Yi Zheng.
Jin Yao served twice as Ling Yizheng. But last year he was replaced by Jin Zidian, who was close to the Qing Dynasty, and now he occupies the left-hand position of discussing politics.
Jin Yu was highly respected and was the main contributor to Li Zhu's victory in seizing the throne of Joseon. He came with Li Jun to ask for an audience, which surprised Li Jun.
After Jin Yu asked the chamberlain to exit Kangning Palace, he kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report."
Regarding Jin Yao's behavior of repelling the servants without permission, Li Jun didn't say anything. He coughed twice, looked from Li Jun to Jin Yao and said, "What do you want to report to Lord Pingfu Yuan?"
The golden beard and hair are all silvery white. Weiweidi kowtowed again and said: "Your Highness, I have just received news that the Great Qin Dynasty has sent amphibious troops to expel the Huru from North Korea. The army is almost near Ganghwa Island."
"What? The State of Qin sent troops. What is going on? Gu Wei has never agreed to it. How can the State of Qin send troops here without authorization..."
"Your Highness!" Jin Yao shouted and said rapidly. "This matter is related to the fate of North Korea. Your Highness must make an immediate decision without any further hesitation. The Great Qin Zhoushi has arrived. If Your Highness hesitates again at this time, he will definitely offend the King of Qin. And Hulu will soon learn of the matter and come to His Highness If you ask for help, how will your Highness deal with it?"
Li Jun also kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Father, since the Qin Dynasty has sent a fleet of ships, according to what the King of Qin said, the Northern Expedition must be launched. At this time, the Hulu have no time to take care of themselves. It is the best time for North Korea to get rid of the control of the Hulu. Father, , Great Qin's unification of China is just around the corner. If our country refuses Great Qin's boat division from outside the country, Great Qin will definitely anger our country in the future..."
"Nie Zhan, have you ever thought about whether your two brothers... ahem... what should you do with your two brothers?"
Jin Yao replied: "Your Highness, the more this time comes, the less likely it is for the Hulu to release the Crown Prince and Lord Fenglin. I dare to say this, when the fate of the country is at stake, our government must make sacrifices in order to bring order to the chaos." , get to the bottom of things.
Your Highness, the Qin Dynasty has more and more troops coming. This matter cannot be suppressed. Jin Zidian and others will soon know that the Luo Party has always flattered the Hulu and betrayed the country for glory. They will soon go to the Hulu. Tell the truth, Your Highness, the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed! "
Jin Yu and Li Jun were extremely anxious. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent Amin to lead an army to conquer North Korea for the first time, they did not station any troops in North Korea. As a result, North Korea soon rebelled. After Huang Taiji personally led the army to conquer North Korea for the second time, he stationed troops in three major cities: Pyongyang, Seoul, and Jeonju;
As Jin Liu said, there is no room for Li Zhu to hesitate at the moment. If you don't take action, the Manchu garrison in Seoul will soon invade the palace.
In a daze, Li Zhu found that he was suddenly being roasted on the fire. He had only two choices at the moment, either to sacrifice Shenyang's two sons, or to sacrifice Jin Yu, the ministers who were loyal to him, and his son Li Jun, and continue to be the puppet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. . Apart from that, he had no other choice at all.
Such an important decision required him to make a choice in an instant. Li Zhu was so nervous that he almost fainted.
"Father, I don't have time, so make a decision quickly."
"Your Highness, North Korea's future national destiny depends on your thoughts. Your Highness, at this critical moment, make a quick decision."
Jin Yu and Li Jun also stared at Li Zhu closely, urging him, and they were so anxious that they were sweating.
When Li Zhuo thought of the dangers involved, his hand holding the pen trembled...
