North Korea, Nampo.
Qianhu Zhang Ying, who was in charge of the patrol, looked pale and felt a little at a loss when looking at the murderous Ming army.
North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty. It paid tribute when it was due, and sent envoys where it was due. The relationship has always been very harmonious. At the end of last year, when Zheng Huai, the navy commander of the Ming Dynasty, came, he was warmly received by King Li Fangyuan. Why is it that during the New Year, Daming still falls out?
Zhang Ying wanted to jump into the sea to block the Ming warships. That would be pure courting death, but if he didn't block it and let them enter the port like this, it would be a serious dereliction of duty, and he would lose his official position even if he didn't lose his head.
Weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Ying turned around decisively and handed the blame to Zhao Lou on the left warship: "You are responsible for asking the origin of the Ming army. I will inform Mr. Tiju of the Municipal Shipping Department."
Zhao Lou almost wanted to faint. Isn't it too unethical for you to do this?
Unfortunately, there is no other way, Zhang Ying has already sailed to retreat.
Helpless, Zhao Lou had no choice but to stand up and shout to the approaching Ming fleet: "Please stop the ship and tell us the specific reason!"
Xue Xia didn't answer.
Gu Yun took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to block the road will be sunk! Move forward!"
Fang Dazhuang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Get ready!"
The crossbow is hung with arrows, and the bow is full of moonlight!
The fire gun soldiers also raised their fire guns and aimed at the North Korean ships ahead.
Woo!
The roar of the air was high, and the three warships were like dragons turning over the sea and cutting through the waves!
When Zhao Lou saw the Ming Dynasty ship ramming directly towards him, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the deck and shouted quickly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The sergeant was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't know why the always friendly Ming Navy was suddenly so irritable. He reacted a little slowly and just avoided half of the ship. However, he didn't expect that the speed of the Ming ship was so fast that the stern of the ship was directly smashed!
Pieces of broken wood and most of the wreckage of the ship were floating on the sea.
Fortunately, the North Korean sergeant ran fast and there were not many people at the stern of the boat, so there were no casualties.
Zhao Lou looked at the dilapidated ship and wanted to cry. The Ming navy was so overbearing. It was simply bullying!
Xue Xia and Gu Yun stood on the bow of the boat, letting the cold sea breeze blow.
Zhang Ying's ship had just entered the port, and the Ming Dynasty Navy's ship was already approaching. Unable to wait for the ship to stop, Zhang Ying jumped directly onto the dock and hurriedly ran to the Municipal Shipping Department Office.
When the ship docked, Xue Xia looked at Fang Dazhuang and said sternly: "Leave half of the sergeants to guard the ship and be ready to fight at any time. The others come ashore with me!"
Fang Dazhuang nodded slightly and ordered Gao Zhen to stay behind the ship. He took more than two hundred sergeants and went ashore with Xue Xia, Gu Yun and other security bureau sergeants. He appeared in full force, surprising many merchants at the port.
Xue Xia ignored the merchant's speculation, stepped onto the dock, and strode forward.
Lin Dong, the director of the dock, led his people to greet them quickly. Seeing the posture of Xue Xia and others, with the army following behind them, their scalps were a little numb, but after all, you guys haven't gone through the port entry formalities yet, do you want to make up for it?
Do you want me to complete the formalities?
Xue Xia went up and slapped Lin Dong twice, knocking Lin Dong unconscious. Others did not dare to stop him and got out of the way.
In the Shibo Department, Tiji Li Yifu was leisurely drinking wine. On this cold day, it was most comfortable to drink a few sips of warm wine. He was still holding this sip in his mouth when the door was knocked open and he almost choked to death. , coughed several times, and yelled at Zhang Ying who rushed over: "You bastard, don't you know how to knock on the door?"
Zhang Ying couldn't care less about this and said quickly: "Li Tiju, something bad has happened. The Ming army is coming to kill us!"
"What?"
Li Yifu suddenly stood up.
Zhang Ying repeated, pointing to the door: "Ming Army, Ming Army is on the way here, lift up quickly and think of a way!"
Li Yifu stared at Zhang Ying with doubts in his eyes: "Why did the Ming army come here? Does it mean that the Ming Dynasty plans to go to war with North Korea?"
Zhang Ying was not sure, but something suddenly occurred to him and he said eagerly: "The person here is Xue Xia from the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau. He said he is here to investigate the case on the orders of the emperor."
"Investigating a case? This is not the Ming Dynasty. What kind of case is the Security Bureau investigating? Hey, shouldn't it?
will be? "Li Yifu's eyes widened and he said to Zhang Ying: "Hurry up and find Zhao Wanhu and ask him to immediately bring troops to protect Shibo Division, with all the troops!"
Zhang Ying looked at Li Yifu in confusion: "Why?"
"go!"
Li Yifu couldn't explain it.
Zhang Ying had no choice but to run out of Shibosi and towards the military camp a mile away.
The Ship Division is an important place for trade. In order to ensure safety and maintain public order, there is a navy patrolling outside and military barracks inside for defense.
Li Yifu's face turned pale. He went to the cabinet beside him and rummaged for a book. He opened it and looked at it twice before throwing it directly into the stove where he was warming his hands. The paper slowly curled up and flames burst out.
"You can't go in!"
"Go away!"
boom!
The door was kicked open!
Xue Xia looked at Li Yifu who was burning the book. Gu Yun had already stepped forward quickly, pulled out the embroidered spring knife, picked out the book from the stove, then put his feet down, and the flame on the book went out.
It's a broken copy, not much left.
Xue Xia looked at Li Yifu coldly and said coldly: "By burning the evidence in such a hurry, it seems that you know the purpose of my coming here and explain it directly, or do you wait until I take action?"
Li Yifu did not expect Xue Xia and others to arrive so quickly, but the record book was basically destroyed and there was no evidence, so he said directly: "They are from the Security Bureau, right? This is North Korea, not the Ming Dynasty. If you want to make a fuss, go back Go tomorrow!"
Xue Xia looked at the stubborn Li Yifu, walked to the chair in front, turned around and sat down: "Bring me all the people from Shibo Division!"
Li Yifu shouted sternly: "Xue Xia, don't go too far! Although the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of Korea, it does not have the authority to directly manage the government offices of Korea! Don't you want to provoke disputes between the two countries?"
Gao Zhen didn't care what Li Yifu said. Since Xue Xia had spoken, he had to do it. He turned around and led people to give Jiang Nan and Zhao Kun, the two deputy officials of the Shibo Division, and eight officials. Caught it.
No one dared to look directly into Xue Xia's sharp eyes. These people didn't even know what happened, why the good Shibo Division was suddenly surrounded by the Ming army, and why the Ming Security Bureau mobilized troops!
Xue Xia took out an edict from his sleeve and put it on the table. He did not unfold it, but said coldly: "At the end of last year, more than 40 people including Azu, Feifu, and Hino Miko from Japan arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and suddenly said... The Japanese envoy caught the imperial court and the emperor by surprise! After an investigation by the Security Bureau, it was discovered that these people were able to enter the Ming Dynasty unimpeded because someone in North Korea provided them with merchant certificates and guarantees!"
Deputy Lifter Jiang Nan was obviously a little panicked, and even raised his head to look at Li Yifu.
Gu Yun stepped forward, lifted Jiang Nan up with one hand, and took her out directly.
Jiang Nan looked panicked and shouted: "It's none of my business, it's none of my business."
Just as Li Yifu was about to speak, he heard a loud sound, and a steel knife was unsheathed for more than a foot, and was placed precariously in front of his neck. Gao Zhen held the scabbard and said coldly: "Li Tiju, it's better not to say anything at this time."
"How dare you, this is the North Korean Shipping Department!"
"Korean Ship Bureau? Knowing that this is the Joseon Ship Bureau, you still dare to issue merchant certificates to Japanese Japanese! Li Yifu, have you ever thought about it, if people like Azu and Feifu are assassins and cause some trouble in the capital, come here What will be here is no longer the Security Bureau and more than 200 navy officers, but the entire Donghai Navy!"
Xue Xia shouted sharply.
Li Yifu was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly: "It must be fake. It was not made by the Korean Shipping Department. We don't know the Japanese at all, let alone issue merchant certificates for them!"
Xue Xia took out a voucher from his arms and threw it directly to Li Yifu: "Open your eyes and see if it was issued by the Nanpu Shipping Department! Don't say that Ming Dynasty wronged you!"
Li Yifu looked at the familiar voucher and his hands began to tremble. How did this voucher fall into the hands of the Security Bureau? What did the Japanese envoys do for food? Didn’t they tell them that after entering the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they would be destroyed immediately without leaving any certificates?
"This must be a forgery, right?"
Li Yifu didn't know how to defend himself.
Xue Xia stared at Li Yifu: "Forgery, can you say such a thing? Li Yifu, tell me who did it. If you tell me, I will go back to report. If you can't tell, none of you can run away! Today There is no result, I don’t mind a bloodbath here, don’t underestimate the emperor’s anger.”
Li Yifu took a deep breath and looked at Xue Xia who was gently tapping the edict with his hand. He didn't know what Emperor Jianwen said in the edict. Judging from Xue Xia's attitude and the surrounding sergeants, these people were here to risk their lives!
But I can’t say it myself!
The Ming Dynasty was so angry that the emperor directly sent someone to settle the accounts. If it was King Li Fangyuan who did it, then the impact of this incident would be huge! What if Emperor Jianwen becomes angry and directly sends an army to attack North Korea...
There was a scream outside, and it was Jiang Nan's voice. The people of the Ming Dynasty actually tortured the people of the North Korean Shipping Department!
A sergeant entered the room and whispered to Xue Xia.
Xue Xia stood up and said to Hu Dun next to him: "In one stick of incense, I want results, no matter what the means!"
Hu Dun grinned and showed a cruel smile.
Li Yifu looked at Xue Xia who was about to leave and said quickly: "If you do this, I will report it to the king!"
Xue Xia didn't look back, and just left one sentence: "Let's wait until you survive."
The door is closed.
There were bursts of screams coming from inside.
Xue Xia walked outside the gate of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping and saw hundreds of North Korean sergeants arriving in formation, with bows, arrows and spears in hand. He was not afraid and walked out directly. He said coldly: "The Ming Security Bureau is doing business. If you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible." , don’t make me angry.”
Zhao Zhen from Wanhu came out, looked at Xue Xia and other Ming sergeants, and said majestically: "This is the North Korean Shipping Department. The Ming Security Bureau has no control over this place. I advise you to be sensible and let the people inside out as soon as possible." Leave, otherwise, I will regard you as bandits invading the port and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Chinese website
Xue Xia burst into laughter, pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, flashed the cold light with a swipe, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to hit me, I will accompany you!"
Xue Xia, who was so angry, wanted to go on a killing spree because the Japanese envoy suddenly appeared in Ming Dynasty, and the whole security bureau was embarrassed! Liu Changge was scolded by the emperor, and Xue Xia and others were scolded by Liu Changge!
I have been working in the Security Bureau for many years, and I have never felt so aggrieved. If you want to blame it, blame it on the audacity of the people in the North Korean Shipping Department!
Still want to fight?
Come, let me see how much you Korean sergeants weigh! If I can't kill you, I, Xue Xia, will go to the sea to feed the fish!
