Chapter 130 Lucky people

Jeju, also known as Jeju master of North Korea.

When the Ming army defeated the Qing navy at sea, then went south to fight with Portugal. Finally, it controlled the East China Sea and all the waters of the South China Sea as a victor. Then it crossed to Japan to the east, and in a forced manner, the Tokugawa shogunate opened its national gates, and then occupied Hokkaido. At this point, the Ming Navy had basically controlled all areas near the sea, including the north to North Korea, Japan, and the south to the South China Sea as a sphere of influence.

Since North Korea followed behind the Qing Dynasty and did not care about the Ming Dynasty, which was restored to the south, when the Ming Dynasty defeated the Qing Dynasty, especially after landing in Tianjin and taking down Beijing, North Korea was frightened.

At this point, North Korea suddenly realized and hurriedly sent envoys to Nanjing. At that time, Zhu Yicheng was not polite. After severely scolding North Korea, he directly asked North Korea for the governor of Jeju, and set up the position of North Korea as the Minister of North Korea, and stationed troops in North Korea as the sovereign state.

If North Korea was obedient, according to Zhu Yicheng's idea, he would be beaten hard and not have much interest in the Ming Dynasty. But who would have thought that after North Korea ceded Jeju's masters and was forced to open up the southern region, the political struggle in North Korea became increasingly fierce. For their own reasons, several factions in the fight began to secretly collude with the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, and even continued to immigrate to Liaodong to join forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, North Korea's behavior completely angered Zhu Yicheng and no longer had any good feelings for this country. Now a unified opinion has been formed within the Ming Dynasty. After the end of the Southwest War, the next goal of the Ming Dynasty was North Korea. It decided to destroy North Korea with a thunderous force, and then go in to Liaodong from Shanhaiguan and North Korea to completely recover the lost territories outside the pass.

More than two hours later, Zhu Yigui's ship relocated to Jeju Port. Today, Jeju Port has long been the military port of the Ming Dynasty. The squadron of the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty was stationed here. In addition, there are more than 20,000 elite Ming navy and army troops stationed in Jeju.

The person who came to the dock to welcome Zhu Yigui was Wang Wen, the counselor of the Ming Dynasty to Korea, and Zhang Fei, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty to Korea.

Wang Wen, Zhu Yigui, has never dealt with much. After all, Wang Wen was originally the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, and he also has a background in the public affairs office. Zhu Yigui has always been in the military circle and doesn't know much about civil servants. In addition, Wang Wen has always been in North Korea, so this is the first time the two met until today.

As for Zhang Fei, it was different. This was a veteran general in the army. Zhang Fei was a guerrilla general of the Fujian Navy in the Qing Dynasty. She was captured after being defeated in Ningbo, and then she joined Zhuang Yan and others to surrender to Zhu Yicheng.

Later, the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty's Navy, the Ming Navy, was established as a general of the Qing army. Zhang Fei was highly valued as a naval general. In the subsequent sea battles in the East China Sea, Taiwan and South China Sea, Zhang Fei made great contributions. When the Ming army attacked Fujian and Guangdong, Zhang Fei had already led a single army at that time, and in terms of qualifications in the Ming army, he was even more expensive than Zhu Yi.

However, over the years, Zhang Fei has been wandering around the East China Sea and Taiwan, thus missing many opportunities. Otherwise, even if his contributions and qualifications are not as good as Pan Mengyuan, which is now in Xinming, he will at least be on par.

However, Zhang Fei was just the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, with a military rank as an admiral, but he had no power to entrust the territory. It was not long ago that the court ordered Zhang Fei to be transferred from the East China Sea Fleet to station in North Korea and directly led the Ming Dynasty's naval squadron and elite army troops in Korea. Zhang Fei was ecstatic after hearing the news, because he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

Several people met at the pier and said a few words to each other. Because the wind in Jeju was strong in winter, Wang Wen, as the owner, had already prepared a carriage and carried everyone into Jeju City.

Jeju City is the capital of Jeju and was built by the North Korean country. However, due to its limited national strength, and Jeju is far away from its local area for North Korea, it is not a good place. When the Ming Dynasty accepted Jeju, the entire Jeju City was dilapidated and was no different from the beggar village.

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been dedicated to Jeju. Because of Jeju's unique geographical location and its unique route from North Korea-Japan-Hokkaido-Shinming, Jeju makes profits through maritime trade, and the original Jeju City has begun to become what it is today.

In addition, Jeju horse production was originally a place for horse breeding in North Korea. Although Jeju horses were slightly inferior to some good horses, they were a rare place for the Ming Dynasty, which lacked horses.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has vigorously raised horses in Jeju, and has made great profits from it. It also provides the Ming Dynasty with many qualified war horse resources.

Currently, the entire Jeju has a population of more than 200,000. In addition to the North Koreans who originally lived in Jeju, more than 80% of the 200,000 people are from the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the army, that is, the navy, the army is in its forefront, and the local security army is about 1,000. In addition, the craftsmen, farmers, fishermen, handicraftsmen and horse breeders who have been immigrating over the years, as well as their families and some merchants who come and go here, plus the original North Koreans, thus forming the current population structure of the entire Jeju.

The Ming Dynasty's rule in Jeju did not encounter any trouble from the beginning, and it can even be said to be very smooth. After all, the Central Kingdom of China has different significance for North Korea, and in the eyes of ordinary Koreans, it is better to be the Ming people than to be the Ming people.

You should know that in the eyes of many Koreans, the land of China is orthodox, and North Korea is just a small country. For a Ming and a Korean, the former is first-class, while the latter is naturally second-class. So when a first-class person or a second-class person, this choice is naturally not difficult to answer.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty's business in Jeju not only did not exploit the local area, but also brought great development to the local area, making ordinary Koreans far better than before in recent years. They even understood the Ming Dynasty's official language. The nimble guys also made money by taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's opportunity, which made the local Koreans support the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that among the Koreans in Jeju now, few people say they are Koreans, but they think they are the people of the Ming Dynasty. These people face the Japanese, Westerners, etc. who trade in Jeju, even the poorest fishermen are holding their heads up and proud of their wise identity.

Wang Wen had already prepared his residence, a large mansion located in the city. This man was from a wealthy businessman in the north. When he entered Jeju in the Ming Dynasty, he keenly saw the geographical convenience of Jeju, so he operated it here early.
