The blue sea is rippling with blue waves.

On the deck, Xu Changqing was lying comfortably on the recliner, bathing in the warm morning sunshine, and enjoying the sea and sky scenery at a slow speed, as if he had returned to the era of green trains.

In later generations, technological progress was too fast, and while bringing people a lot of convenience, they often lose some other fun.

When the speed exceeds the naked eye, you need to use auxiliary tools to see the scenery.

Perhaps, this is called gain and loss.

On this side, Zheng Chagu came over wearing a silk long skirt and holding a cup of fragrant tea. While handing it to Xu Changqing, she did not forget to glar at Xu Changqing.

She could have figured out Xu Changqing's temperament at this time.

Even though Xu Changqing loves her and cares about her very much, this guy will never suffer any loss.

Thinking of last night, this guy became even worse... Zheng Chagu wanted to bite Xu Changqing hard.

But seeing that the traces of the teeth on Xu Changqing's wrist had not yet dissipated, Zheng Chagu suddenly became shy again and hurriedly pulled Xu Changqing's sleeves to cover her masterpiece.

Xu Changqing smiled and held Zheng Chagu in his arms, "Chagou, what do you want to eat at noon?"

Zheng Chagu sat directly on Xu Changqing's thigh. The two of them were already so familiar that they could not be more familiar... But her mind was not on lunch. She was entangled for a moment and said nervously: "Brother Xu, are we really going to Goryeo? Will it cause trouble?"

Last night, the news brought by Xu Hong really shocked Zheng Chagu!

Xu Changqing had been in Goryeo for a long time, and the destination of their trip was the hinterland of Goryeo.

Although the fleet was not too large at this time, it was already quite large. Especially with Xu Changqing around, Zheng Chagu was not worried about safety issues, but was very worried about something wrong.

This kind of thing is not a joke.

Although Zheng Chagu has received a lot of Western education, he is still the nature of a Han people in his bones. He is afraid of changes in this place, and then people think that it is the "unlucky" she brought to Xu Changqing.

In this era, any woman, even if she is a golden branch and a jade leaf, is engraved with the title of "Kehou", her life is basically "a widow's son died - no hope".

Xu Changqing also understood Zheng Chagu's worries for a moment, and smiled and sniffed the fragrance between her black hair and said, "It's okay. I, Xu Changqing, aren't that stupid yet. But, are we Chagu's things also afraid of?"

Zheng Chagu couldn't help but throw it to Xu Changqing with a hygienic eye.

This guy, he is so frivolous in such a serious matter...

However, it was precisely because of the scoundrel like Xu Changqing that her mood became much lighter, but she whispered in her way: "Brother Xu, if you dare to bully me again, I will jump into the sea. But before jumping into the sea, I will cut your thing into slices. Humph."

“…”

Xu Changqing was speechless. He had a fierce wife at home...

But the two soon started to joking and fight again, but Zheng Chagu quickly ran away with a giggle again, leaving only Xu Changqing gritting his teeth in place...

...

Two and a half days later, the fleet arrived outside the Tieshan Sea and moored near a remote small island group dozens of miles away from the mainland.

Here, Xu Changqing's old friend Lu Yingjie has been waiting here for a long time.

"Lu Yingjie, I have met the Marquis, Madam..."

Lu Yingjie got on the boat and hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu respectfully.

In a blink of an eye, several years have passed. It has been more than seven years since Xu Changqing and Lu Yingjie met in the seaside camp in western Liaoning for the first time. Almost eight years have passed. Lu Yingjie, who was quite handsome back then, had a lot of hair on his temples.

What remains unchanged is that this guy is still as straight as a javelin, and his spirit makes people feel at ease.

"Haha, Lao Lu, you and my brother, don't have to be so polite. How about it, these days have passed

Is it appropriate?"

Xu Changqing smiled and stepped forward to help Lu Yingjie up with his own hands, patted his shoulder and was very intimate.

Next to him, Zheng Chagu was secretly shocked.

It's no wonder that Xu Changqing was able to fight all the way from the bottom of the box in less than ten years.

This guy is much more experienced in dealing with people and affairs than her father Zheng Yiguan.

If Zheng Yiguan had faced his old friends, he would definitely hold his own identity. He could not be so intimate. He had to keep a distance and highlight his advantages. He had been educating Zheng Chagu and Zheng Sen in this way.

But at this moment, Lu Yingjie's eyes were a little red when he looked at Xu Changqing's words. Zheng Chagu understood that her father's way was only suitable for her father's realm. The guy in front of him no longer needed to use this method to show his dignity.

His dignity and confidence are completely from the inside out. Every look and movement is like the world being controlled by heaven and earth, making people subconsciously want to surrender.

But then Zheng Chagu suddenly wanted to laugh.

Who would have thought that once a person like Xu Changqing reached a certain bad situation, he would still be as willful as a child...

After a few greetings with Lu Yingjie, Xiao Cai and Junzi served wine and food cutely. After a few glasses of wine, Lu Yingjie also began to talk about the current state of Goryeo.

Previously, Xu Changqing led his army to set up an ambush on the two red flags in Kuandian area, causing huge damage to the two red flags, and a strong storm was created in Goryeo, which made many Goryeo literati and doctoral classes in the Ming Dynasty look forward to the rising trend.

Unfortunately, this momentum did not last long and was suppressed by the "Pro-Manchu Qing faction" led by Jin Zidian.

Lu Yingjie was also implicated because he had something to do with the Model Army and was demoted.

Although his current official position is still at the level of general, his real power is very strong and he was sent to the Busan area to build roads.

However, there was no civil servant for him to call, and there was no amount of silver to be allocated, which was completely accusing him of his false position.

However, the Goryeo government and the country knew more or less that Lu Yingjie had something to do with Xu Changqing, even Jin Zidian did not dare to do anything randomly, and did not dare to break up directly. He only dared to use this method to transfer Lu Yingjie from the center of power.

As he said that, Lu Yingjie looked and sighed with emotion: "Marty, it has been more than ten years since the Japanese riots of Bingzi. The king sent a secret letter a few days ago to encourage the humble officials and to work hard to persevere. However, when he thought that the Ming Dynasty was far away, humble officials felt uncomfortable. He really couldn't tell the king, so he would explain to me, the people of Goryeo..."

When he was moved, Lu Yingjie was a seven-foot man, and he couldn't help but cry like rain.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

To a large extent, he also admired Lu Yingjie very much. He was an outstanding representative of the Goryeo elite class and had always wanted to break through the shackles of the Qing Dynasty on them and take a path.

At the beginning, Lu Yingjie stayed in the Model Army for a while, but soon chose to return to Goryeo and strive for his country and nation.

Unfortunately, he may have a good talent in military affairs, but he is not a big deal to play politics. He is not an opponent of the pro-Manchu Qing sect such as Jin Zidian, and he cannot attract too many alliances.

Zheng Chagu also gently bit her red lips.

For some reason, when she saw Lu Yingjie, she could feel that Lu Yingjie had a sense of righteousness that was difficult to describe, which could easily make people feel a sense of trust.

Zheng Chagu could not help but become curious, what would Xu Changqing treat this Goryeo general?

After a while, Xu Changqing said, "Brother Lu, I, Xu Changqing, also admires the king's lord. Bingzi is in chaos, and the king's insistence is admirable. During these days, I have also learned about some exchanges between the king and the court... It's very regretful."

Although there are a lot of dirty things between Goryeo and Ming Dynasty, the influence of such powerful inertia over the years is unparalleled.

Think about it, how did Li Chenggui build this "New Goryeo" back then?

Not the protection of the Ming Dynasty!

Especially decades ago when fighting against Japanese aid to Korea, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers sprinkled blood from Goryeo, and now this deterrent power has not retreated.

Whether it was the "Dingmao chaos" in that year or the later "Bingzi chaos", many scholars and officials elites in Goryeo were still optimistic about the Ming Dynasty and were willing to contribute to it.

However, his ex-girl Wang Shangguang Haijun Li Huigui was smart and saw the decay of the Ming Dynasty. He kept suppressing it, and turned around and secretly tried to please the Qing Dynasty.

This also breeds the soil of the pro-Qing faction in Goryeo.

So much so that after the current Wang Shanglingyangjun Li Jue took office in a coup, Jin Zidian and others easily controlled the diplomatic rhythm of Goryeo.

But Li Wu had an idea.

I don't want to be led by the nose like this.

Therefore, when Bingzi was in chaos in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Jue was a "war faction".

However, his main battle was to shrink, and he arranged his wife and children to Jianghua Island, while he retreated to Nanhan Mountain City, waiting for the support of the royal army.

This made Huang Taiji angry and forced himself to capture Jianghua Island and captured his wife and children. As a last resort, Li Nei had to surrender.

Then the entire Goryeo fell under the clutches of the Qing Dynasty.

Back then, when the Qing Dynasty was at its absolute advantage, there were indeed many people in Goryeo who wanted to use the Qing Dynasty to remove the shackles of the Han Dynasty on Goryeo for so many years.

But under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they understood how kind the Han people were to them...

In the past, when he was under the Han vassal states, Goryeo almost had better tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Most of them were Korean ginseng and various medicinal herbs, and the Ming Dynasty paid the money.

Every time they go to the Great Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, the great power of the Great Ming Dynasty will only give them more rewards, which is not a good deal.

They can make a big profit every time they pay tribute.

But at this time, under the high pressure of the Qing Dynasty, they not only wanted protons, but also continued to rise every year, and they did not collect much money and only recognized gold.

This made many powerful people in Goryeo feel unbearable.

At this time, Goryeo, due to the continuous superposition of many disasters such as party struggles, civil strife, palace fighting, coup, etc., the economy has not recovered much until now. More than 90% of people are no different from beggars.

The king Li Yu was already in his fifties at this time and was in poor health. He had basically entered the end of his life, and he was increasingly thinking about returning to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime and improving the current declining situation in Goryeo.

A few days ago, he sent several secret letters to the Nanjing court, asking the Ming Dynasty to send troops to Goryeo.

Seeing that Xu Changqing only expressed his feelings but not his opinion, Lu Yingjie felt uncomfortable.

This is the price of weakness. No matter what, it depends on other people's faces...

But he was not stupid either. He understood very well that during the wedding, Xu Changqing brought his delicate wife to Goryeo to play. He would definitely not be aimless, and would not say more, and wait patiently for Xu Changqing.

After a while, Xu Changqing said, "Brother Lu, what do you think about this?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Yingjie was speechless.

What does it mean?

Moji has been kicking him the ball again after so long?

Fortunately, Lu Yingjie had some understanding of Xu Changqing and knew that Xu Changqing was definitely not something he had contacted with the Ming officials and generals before and did not have sufficient benefits, so he would never speak up easily.

After thinking for a moment, he said respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, the humble position is in chaos now. Please tell me everything..."

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you know who I, Xu Changqing, are you very good at. I don't think of you or don't trust you. But this matter is very important. I think if you want to talk about this, it is best to talk to the king. Even if it is not good, you need to be able to represent the king. Brother Lu, can you do it?"
