Goryeo, Gyeonggi-do, Gimpo-gun, Tamna Chamber of Commerce Simple Wharf.
Not to mention Wu Fang, who was racking his brains to argue with the Korean profiteers and practicing Tai Chi, Kang Lin and his party who had left earlier had already entered the Tamna Chamber of Commerce in Gimpo County! There, Mr. Cui Mingji's special envoy, Sungkyunkwan Confucian scholar Li Chengxuan, had already cooked tea and was waiting for the arrival of his envoy Kanglin Kangdae!
This guy was originally on the pier to welcome the latter's arrival, but considering that there was a mix of dragons and snakes there, it was not conducive to keeping it secret! Therefore, he rushed back to the Chamber of Commerce guest room as quickly as possible, took time to make a pot of tea, and waited for Kang Lin to come over and talk to him! And the latter didn't let him wait long. Only half an hour later, he quietly appeared outside the guest room under the protection of a small number of trusted tooth soldiers!
"Brother Nanhu, it's been several months since we left the mountain city in a hurry, but I really want to hurt my little brother! Here, I am sitting on an isolated island, like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the sky. On the other hand, my brother looks a little radiant, I guess. With Mr. Cui’s appreciation, my life in Sungkyunkwan must be very comfortable!
It’s just that you are happy and comfortable, so I have to write a letter to my younger brother no matter what. Please tell me about the changes that have happened in the court today, such as Cui Gongrong being promoted to right minister, Jin Gong resigned and retired, and Jin Shen, the two marshals, resigned from their posts and were exiled. For such a big event on the outer island, I only learned the details of the whole thing through other merchants who came here to trade. Is this the attitude of my brother and Cui Gong towards their allies? To be honest, I thought that just because of our relationship and having someone as close as my brother assist Cui Gong, I should get the most accurate news as soon as possible!
But now it seems that the right prime minister behind my brother and brother do not regard Kang as one of their own! Haha, if you have something to do, Zhong Wuyan will be there, and if you have nothing to do, it will be summer and spring. Brother Nanhu and Cui Gong are playing a good hand! I just don’t know if next time something unexpected happens, will my brother and Cui Gong still be able to laugh for so long? I think Kang now has dozens of good generals and thousands of powerful soldiers under his command. My brother and Mr. Cui don't want your friendship. There are other affairs in the court, and the judge needs a place to surrender! But when that time comes, brother and Mr. Cui, please don’t blame someone for changing your mind and seeking glory behind the Lord!
…
OK OK! Let’s stop joking for a moment, and let’s talk about the reason why we came to meet XX! My brother is busy with his studies in Sungkyunkwan, and Mr. Cui is also busy developing his own power. Don't tell me that you are here specifically to reminisce with me! If Cui Gong has any orders, you might as well say them directly to your face with gongs and drums. He is a nostalgic person. As long as it is not too difficult, he will go all out!
By the way, this time it’s over. When you leave, take the gift that I prepared for my brother with you! When my brother was admitted to Sungkyunkwan before, Kang was far away in Jeju, so he didn't say anything. Today, he met him, so he asked Brother Namho to give him some thin noodles and accept him with a smile! A certain soldier, Qiu Ba, didn't know what the Confucian scholars of his generation liked, so he invested money to buy a painting of flowers, birds, fish and insects by the Ming Dynasty Zhao Shucheng as a gift to Brother Li. Once you reach the gate of a certain chamber of commerce, you can throw it into the ditch..."
"Master Temperance Envoy, my brother Yuan Jingxian, you are going to kill Mr. and Mr. Cui! There was a huge change in the court, Mr. and Mrs. were studying in Sungkyunkwan, and Mr. Cui was also busy dealing with various attacks. I don’t want to contact Xiandi, but I really have no time to contact Xiandi! Think about it, if Cui Gong rashly contacts Xiandi when the situation is unclear, wouldn’t it drag Xiandi into the whirlpool of party struggle, between the Northern Party and the Southern Party? Although the People's Party and the Old West Party are weak, they still have many supporters in the court!
Regardless of other things, Kwang Hyun-di’s official officer, Jeju Inspector Kim Kyung-won, is an out-and-out old Western Party member. If he learns about our relationship, he will not directly put me into Cui Gongyi. party! By then, whether it is openly causing trouble or secretly slandering, I believe it will have varying degrees of impact on my control of Jeju!
Remember, only Mr. Cui sitting in the position of discussing politics can protect you and me from the wind and rain; if he falls, the so-called skin is gone, the hair will be attached, and everyone will be dead! At most, I will go back to my hometown to farm, but my brother's situation is really not good. No matter which of the northerners, southerners, or old Westerners comes to power in the future, I believe they will not sit back and watch my brother occupy Jeju, and then split the territory of Goryeo!
They will use all their strength to organize troops to attack you again and again until the kingdom's finances are dragged down or you are completely eliminated! Brother, since you gave me a picture of flowers, birds, fish and insects painted by a famous Chinese artist this time, I will also give you a piece of free information. I hope you will still be as stable as Mount Tai after listening to it! A few days ago, the Eighth Imperial Guard Envoy of Goryeo, the Lord of Shengping Prefecture and the leader of the government, Jin Xianggong, Jin Laoxianggong, has advised His Highness the Lord to dispatch fifteen posts in the imperial camp, train eleven posts in the capital and supervise the army, and mark ten posts in the subordinate army, for a total of Four thousand three hundred troops went to Jeolla Province to prepare for the Japanese invasion, and half of them took Zuosuiying's wooden house fleet to Jeju to observe the control of the envoy Jin Qingyuan! Brother, it seems that your immediate boss is not a fuel-efficient person. From now on, this little Jeju Island will be very lively..."
Li Chengxuan reached out to lift the stoneware teapot on the red clay stove and slowly poured a cup of boiling tea for Kang Lin Kang Da Temperance Commander opposite. Li Chengxuan, who was very smart, quickly thought of the appropriate words! In the past, the situation in the Goryeo court was changing. He and Cui Mingji, the big boss behind him, did have some selfish motives and did not report the situation to the former immediately. As a result, the former gradually developed a subtle gap with them!
But who is Li Chengxuan, the mastermind of Cui Mingji and Right Prime Minister Cui, and the military advisor of the Ganghwa Island Expeditionary Force? He is the most agile and changeable person, and the most diplomatic and sophisticated in dealing with things. How can he be troubled by the difficulties he is facing! As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to brainwash Kang Lin, and inadvertently revealed a shocking news! What the person wants is nothing more than to divert the other party's attention and stop the other party from fussing over trivial matters! In the final analysis, Cui Mingji needs Kang Lin's military support, and Kang Lin does not need Cui Mingji's policy tilt. The relationship between the two parties is that cooperation will benefit both parties, and division will cause both parties to lose! Therefore, Li Chengxuan and Li Nanhu, who want to use the strength of both parties to successfully ascend to power, must repair and adjust the relationship between the two parties to avoid a real quarrel between the two parties, and they will have nowhere to draw on in the future!
"What, you sent two thousand troops and landed in Jeju secretly? Brother Nanhu, you can't joke about this! If it is serious, I need to send people back to Jeju immediately and tell my soldiers to be on guard. Otherwise, Jeju will be lost. I just want to stay. Here, even when listening to Cui Gong’s orders, one will become timid and throw a rat into a trap..."
Li Chengxuan just told the explosive news, and Kang Lin spit out the tea he just drank! To be honest, we can't blame him for losing his composure in front of others. It's really because the news brought by the former is too exciting! The elite of the Imperial Camp Hall of the Ten Posts, the elite training supervisors of the Six Posts, the musketeers of the Pingdao of the Ten Posts and the subordinate troops of the Ten Posts, a total of 4,300 soldiers and horses were organized by the Koreans without any sound. And in the near future, they will all head to Jeolla Province to prepare for the war! Half of them will secretly land in Jeju and accept the control and command of the seemingly harmless Kim Kyung-won Kim Observer!
There was no news about such a big mobilization of so many troops beforehand! It can be seen from this that the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty must have big plans this time! I guess it was a lie that they sent troops to prepare for the Japanese invasion. The real purpose was to target former pirates and rebels like myself! It is said that Xiangzhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong. After solving the external threats, the Goryeo monarchs and ministers will definitely not tolerate an armed force of unknown origin occupying their country's territory for a long time!
Even if this territory is the penal colony where they used to exile prisoners, even if this armed force once sent troops to help them resist foreign humiliation when they were most in danger! They still couldn't sit back and watch Chiyang occupy Jeju. These four thousand troops were probably just the vanguard. When the Goryeo court was completely freed from the court disputes and the predicament of Manchu and Qing pressure, they would send more and more elite troops. The troops regained the country! At that time, what Chiyang will face will not be hundreds or thousands of troops, but the overwhelming soldiers of Goryeo!
So, after listening to Li Chengxuan's gossip, Kang Lin was completely silent! When he thought that thousands of soldiers and horses might have quietly landed in Jeju and posed a huge threat to his territory, his mind began to spin desperately, thinking of all possible or impossible ways to break the situation! As for the little naughty thing he did before, he completely threw it into the trash! The various forces in the court were reshuffled, and Chiyang chose the wrong betting target. At the very least, he suffered a small loss, which was not a big deal at all. But with the army pressing down on the situation, if one mishandling was not handled well, the whole game would be lost. Kang Lin even I can't imagine how much harm an army of 2,200 people under the command of a caring person could do to Chiyang!
By then, all Chiyang's efforts on Tamna Island may be in vain! Workshops, houses, city walls, and any military and civilian buildings will be burned by the Goryeo army; new immigrants, naturalized people, and even indigenous people will be massacred by the Goryeo army! No, no, I must not sit back and watch this tragedy unfold on Tamna Island. At the critical moment, I must prevent it from happening even if I die together!
After much thought, Kang Lin finally made up his mind. It doesn't matter what the Goryeo Imperial Camp Hall, the training supervising army, and the bidding army; it doesn't matter what the tiger-catching army, volunteerism, and group training, as long as it threatens one's own attack on Tamna. Under his rule, he sent them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the bastards! The prerequisite is that you can accurately grasp the whereabouts of these Goryeo troops. As long as you can accurately grasp their whereabouts, the threat these guys pose to yourself will be infinitely reduced! You know, the Chiyang navy now has three old lock ships, two military rice boats, two rush boats, a Galen ship, two centipede ships, and a dozen large and small blessing ships, loaded with various kinds of goods. There are also hundreds of artillery pieces, so against the slow-moving Korean wooden houseboats with poor firepower, it is like pinching the snail with three fingers - holding it in hand!
