The Oriental steam cable ship appeared in Seoul, causing an uproar in Seoul.

Most people have never seen this 100-meter iron-shelled ship with rolling black smoke. The shock it brought is even greater than the arrival of the Beiyang Fleet!

"General Nelson, why is it that you were personally responsible for the laying of the submarine cable this time?" Li Xi brought Jin Zidian and other confidants and found that the person who led the Oriental steam cable ship to Seoul was Nelson, the Minister of the Navy of the Kyushu Army.

Li Xi met Nelson when he was studying at the Liaonan Academy of Sciences and knew that this low-key man was extremely powerful in the Jiuzhou Army. Almost all the middle and senior officers in the Navy had learned the combat technology of sail battleships from him. This power and energy even exceeded that of him, the king of the Goryeo Kingdom.

So what about the King of Goryeo? He has no choice but to face the constant rebellion and has to rely on foreign aid to barely maintain the situation.

"I happened to be free and lacked staff to be responsible for the laying of submarine cables, so I was sent to supervise the project. If Seoul and Edo Castle were connected to the telegraph system, our three areas would not be independent in the future." Nelson said.

Sending the Minister of Navy to supervise the laying of submarine cables is really a waste of talent, right? Li Wei thought to himself.

"Is this the smoked iron ship found on the sea when fishing fishermen report the fishing iron ship that was discovered on the sea?" Li Xi noticed the arrival of the Oriental steam iron-shelled ship.

"When I was studying in Liaonan, I saw the prototype of this huge iron ship at the wharf. At that time, it had not been completed. I didn't expect that it would be so spectacular after completion, like a black iron mountain. It adopts a steam system like the Yongchang, right? It must be expensive to build such a huge steam ship, and the technology is also very profound. When will our country of Goryeo be able to build such a ship?" Li Li was very envious of the Dongfang steam cable ship.

In his opinion, it was almost impossible for Goryeo to build such a huge ship. Funding is one thing, and technology is another.

The Goryeo officials brought by Li Li also looked at the Oriental, which was anchored in the harbor in disbelief. The first time they saw such a strange ship, the narrow iron-shelled hull of 100 meters long, the thick chimney was filled with black smoke, and the black hull brought them unparalleled shock.

"Li Li, you seem to have become too thin." After Nelson arrived in Goryeo, he found that Li Li seemed to have become a different person, his eyes were slightly sunken and his dark circles were extremely heavy, as if he had not had a good rest for a long time.

"There are constant rebellions, and various factions are fighting each other. Even some trivial matters need to be handled. I can only feel the hardship of the military leader. The place he manages is more than ten times that of mine, and I can't even manage such a little bit of it. I can't even manage tea and meals every day, and I can't sleep, but I still cannot balance the forces of all parties." Li Qi said distressedly.

"King, General Nelson has come from afar. You should hold a banquet to welcome him." Jin Zidian reminded.

"Yes, General Nelson, please follow me. I will ask someone to prepare food and drinks to welcome you. In order to prepare for the new army, our finances are not abundant. Maybe the food is a little bit simple, I hope you forgive me." Li Xi was very enthusiastic about Nelson.

Nelson discovered that Li Xi's admiration for Chu Yun was at heart. Not only did he completely copy Chu Yun's system in terms of policies, but he also did not live in the palace like Chu Yun and moved to the central street of Seoul to live. Currently, there was only one Jiang as his wife. His physical condition did not allow him to accept other concubines.

Li Wei was worried about government affairs and found that there were many obstacles to change. His physical condition was getting worse and worse, almost on the verge of collapse. That was why when Nelson saw Li Wei, he found that he was completely different from a few years ago.

Li Xi held a family dinner to welcome Nelson, and Princess Jiang attended the event.

"When I was in southern Liaoning, I saw that the reform of the Celestial Empire was so huge. I just wanted to follow the example, but it was so difficult? Why is it a good thing for the people, but it was difficult to implement it? All the landlords occupied the land and were unwilling to let go. Once they forced to conquer them, they would select representatives to rebel. I lived a very torment every day..." After getting drunk in his mansion, Li Qi complained to Nelson in disobedience.

Nelson just drank silently and listened to the young king complaining to him. He knew that he didn't need to say anything, and listening carefully was the greatest support for Li Li.

"The people who are willing to support me are the younger generation who went abroad to study, but their qualifications are very shallow, and the older generation in the family intervenes. They are still unable to help me deal with the rebellion and stabilize the situation..."

Li Xi said that she stopped complaining until she fell asleep. Jiang was secretly anxious about Li Xi's loss of composure, but when she saw that Nelson was not abnormal, she felt relieved.

"My husband is working hard on reform, and he is getting old. I hope that the Sect Master can give him generous support, and we will also give the Sect Master the necessary rewards, although for the Sect Master the Kingdom, our Goryeo has nothing to do with us." Jiang was also trying hard to help Li Xi win more support from the Jiuzhou Army.

"I can understand the troubles he is facing now. The help that our Jiuzhou Army can provide is limited. After all, Li Xi is the king of Goryeo. As a king, he must rely on his own efforts to settle the current situation. Our army may not be accepted by your subjects, and the military leader has sent the Beiyang Fleet to help you quell the rebellion for more than half a year, which has consumed a lot of our military expenses." Nelson shook his head.

"If he had known this, he would rather not be the king and stay in the Academy of Sciences as a scholar. If this continues, he will sooner or later lose his life... I regret that he had persuaded him to ascend to the throne and try to change the situation in the country, so that he became like this. His personality is not suitable to be a monarch at all. He is not cunning or endure it." Jiang said sobbing.

When Nelson saw Li Li and Jiang, the two of them were suffering in this position, and they couldn't help but be glad that Chu Yun and Ella were not so uncomfortable, at least Chu Yun grasped the situation.

"Please rest assured, if the situation gets out of control, our China will always be your backing. You can come to take refuge here." Nelson never thought that the contradictions in Goryeo were so sharp, and the counterattacks of civil servants and landlords were one after another. It is estimated that Li Li's rule would soon be in danger.
