Chapter 131: The Peninsular Chaos

"In a wild place, this place is not as good as the capital. Please don't care if Zhu Shuai is concerned."

After entering the house, Wang Wen led everyone to the front hall to sit down accordingly. Zhu Yigui, who was a guest, was given to the main seat by him, but Zhu Yigui pushed him but refused to sit. He smiled and said that he was a guest, and there was a reason to sit at the main seat. Wang Wen also said that Zhu Yigui had a destiny and should sit at the main seat. Moreover, here is the land where Zhu Yigui collapsed, so of course he was the host rather than the guest.

Even Zhang Fei smiled and advised Zhu Yigui to sit in the main seat, but he really couldn't refuse. Zhu Yigui had no choice but to respond. After sitting down, someone served tea. Wang Wen said this politely.

"What did Lord Wang say? I, Zhu Yigui, is a military man and often stay in the military camp. I don't know how much better this place is than the military camp. There is no reason why I can't live there."

After hearing Zhu Yigui say this, everyone burst into laughter, and Wang Wen was relieved.

Although Wang Wen is now a third-rank high-ranking official and has a background in the public office, he is still much worse than Zhu Yigui.

I won’t mention the official title for the time being. You should know that Zhu Yigui is currently the first-rank military officer. What’s more important is that Zhu Yigui has a title. Coupled with Zhu Yigui’s unclear royal background, the court has issued an order to let Zhu Yigui go to Xinming to serve as the general of Xinming army. From these points of view, Zhu Yigui is comparable to an ordinary third-rank civil servant?

In addition, this time when Zhu Yigui arrived in Jeju, he even brought a sage order, which was equivalent to the level of an imperial envoy. Not to mention that he was a counselor to North Korea, even Huang Taohuan, the minister to North Korea, could not help but give him some face.

In addition, Wang Wen had never dealt with Zhu Yigui before, and he didn't know the temper and personality of this duck king, so he was always polite and careful after meeting him. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yigui not only had no airs, but also felt very comfortable in life. Not only was he not supreme, he looked kind and even joked with his old friends, which made Wang Wen completely relieved.

"Zhu Shuai, you should have come to welcome you, but now Mr. Huang is not in Jeju, so I am replaced by Zhang Shuai below." Wang Wen said a little apologetically, and at the same time took out a letter specially sent by Huang Taohuan from North Korea and handed it on, saying that this was written by Huang Taohuan when he learned that Zhu Yigui was coming but could not get out. He explained the situation and apologized.

Zhu Yigui took the letter and looked at it a few times, then closed his head and nodded: "Mr. Huang has important matters in North Korea, so I naturally know that, let alone this time, I came mainly to see the situation in Jeju for the Emperor, and at the same time, I would like to explain to you a few words. I did not formally take the imperial decree, so naturally I don't have to follow those rules."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yigui got up, first saluted the Nanjing Division, then turned around and said to Wang Wen and Zhang Fei: "The emperor asked me to ask a few words, Wang Wen, Zhang Fei!"

Hearing this, the two of them stood up quickly, asked their left and left to retreat first, and then saluted Zhu Yigui. Zhu Yigui received a gift for Zhu Yicheng first, and then spoke: "Wang Wen, the emperor asked me to ask, what is the domestic situation in North Korea?"

"Go back to the emperor." Wang Wen said: "The Korean king is no longer able to manage the affairs. Now he is the prince of the king in name, but in fact the government has fallen into the hands of the court officials. At present, the two factions of the old and young people in the North Korean country are still fighting forever. If it weren't for the concern that the king of the country is still there, he might have fought directly."

"Which faction did the Qing Dynasty support in North Korea before?"

"When I return to the emperor, the Qing Dynasty faction did not support it." Wang Wen said: "At present, the Qing Dynasty only focuses on two parts of North Korea's food and population. In the past two years, the Qing Dynasty has won over the backbone of the two factions to provide them with food and population to fill the gap in Liaodong. I wrote a letter three months ago that in just two years, North Korea has transported more than 100,000 people to Liaodong, and there are more than one million stones of food in various colors. Now, as the political situation in North Korea becomes more and more intense, this number is still rising..."

Speaking of this, Wang Wen did not continue. In fact, the current situation in the middle of North Korea was completely deliberately condoned by the Ming Dynasty. Long before, Wang Wen was ordered by Huang Taohuan, the minister stationed in North Korea, to go to the capital to report the matter due to the internal situation in North Korea.

But after that, Zhu Yicheng did not directly ask Huang Taohuan to find ways to stabilize the internal situation in North Korea, but instead let him sit idly and even secretly add fuel to the fire. This is why North Korea is almost like fire.

At present, the whole of Korea is like sitting on a crater. The North Korean king Li Yi was in a deteriorating condition and could no longer manage political affairs. Two years ago, Li Yi asked the prince to assist in the political affairs, but the prince was cowardly, and his mother's death hit him a big blow, and his spirit had already been problematic. The king is now seriously ill, and the prince who is in charge of politics is mediocre and inaction. In the court, the old and young sects were incompatible with each other. The old and young sects proposed to abolish the crown prince and re-establish them. The young and young sects decided to kill the prince to be orthodox. At the same time, they attacked the old and lonely sects for cede land during negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, and attacked the old and lonely sects for their political decisions.

The two sides were having a big fight. If Li Yan was healthy and could still take charge, his forty years of hard political methods might be able to balance the two factions, but Li Yan was powerless and lying on the bed and dying. As time goes by, even the position of prince he designated seemed difficult to protect.

Apart from these, coupled with the Qing Dynasty's secret fanning the flames and the Ming Dynasty's ignorance, the country was already in chaos, and there were already acts of sending dead soldiers to assassinate the other party in various factions, which was completely unthinkable before.

Zhu Yigui nodded. What Wang Wen said was similar to the news he had obtained in the capital, and the situation was something that the Ming Dynasty was happy to see. He did not continue to ask, asking these words was just confirming for Zhu Yicheng, and then he turned his attention to Zhang Fei.

"What is Jeju's military strength now? Once North Korea changes, what are your arrangements?"

"Hui Ye, Jeju now has a part of the East China Sea Fleet, with 53 large and small warships and other ships, including four main warships, 32 medium warships, and the rest are supply ships, troop transport ships, etc. The naval personnel are 6,000, of which 1,300 are marines, all of which are elites of the East China Sea Fleet. In addition, our Ming Dynasty stationed 15,000 army soldiers in Jeju, including 13,500 new troops, 1,000 cavalry, and 500 other staff and civilians. For example, the two thousand troops in southern Korea, the total strength of the navy and army armies is more than 23,000, and more than 7,000 civilians can be called. If there is any change in North Korea, our troops can land from southern Korea within three days and then attack northward."

Zhang Fei said word by word that as a veteran in the army, he quickly took over the navy and land armies after arriving in Jeju, and was ready to fight at any time. At present, the entire Jeju is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so he can attack at any time. Zhang Fei is full of confidence in this battle. In his opinion, just North Korea is not worth mentioning. As long as the army crosses north, it will take him half a month to wipe out the entire North Korea.
