Chapter 845 Envoy? Send troops?

In the Busan Pu Bay, the waves are calm and the sea water is slowly undulating. Perhaps because of the special terrain, it is surrounded by two small peninsulas and a Jueying Island. No matter how big the wind and waves outside the harbor are, the water surface in Busan Pu is always smooth and peaceful, and is a natural safe haven.

On the east bank of Pushan, on a port pier called Longtang, a short and fat man wearing a senior civil servant robe in Goryeo, was looking around with a group of sesame and green bean officials stretched out their necks.

Behind them, they had a few weight loss and had a good face. They looked like the soldiers of the Goryeo Mansion who had not had enough food for a long time. They were also standing on the dock looking at the sea. There were a few who had a very big mouth, as if they had seen a monster.

Busan Pu is a county under the jurisdiction of the Upper Mausoleum of the Goryeo Kingdom. It is said to be a county, but in fact it is only a village. The Goryeo Kingdom implements four-level administrative units, including roads, prefectures, counties, counties, and counties. But how big is Goryeo? The total area is equivalent to one road in the Great Song Dynasty, so the roads in Goryeo are similar to those in the Great Song Dynasty, and the prefectures are equivalent to counties, and counties are probably similar to those in the towns, and counties are just like villages in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the "village" of Busanpu is still prosperous, and it has always been an important port for maritime trade between Goryeo and Japan. Although from the perspective of the Song Dynasty, this port is too depressing. However, when the southeast wind blows, several merchant ships will drive from Japan's Hakata Port.

At this time, it was not only the entire "Busan Pu Village" festival, but also the entire Ueusu officials. Those Song or Goryeo merchants on the merchant ships (Japanese locked the country, so no merchants went out to sea) had to prepare many "grace gifts" to help Goryeo officials. Even if they were just small soldiers, as long as they could get those merchants, they could get a few benefits.

So whenever a sea boat arrives, officials from Weizhou will gather on the dock with their soldiers, waiting to collect the money!

Even if the Goryeo King "sells" the tax card from Busanpu to the merchants of Song State, it cannot stop these local snakes from blocking the sea and collecting money.

If anyone dares not give it, he will confiscate it even if the man and the boat are all there!

However, the news that the Song State, which came from Kaijing a while ago, had already given the Busan Pu tax card to the Liao State, made the officials in Weizhou feel that something was wrong.

The Song State was not afraid, but the Liao State was very cruel. Everyone knew that the Khitans had occupied Kyoto in the past.

In addition, the edict sent by Kaijing also stated that Jueying Island in Pushan should be rented to the Liao people to open a Raush Market!

In the future, officials in Da Goryeo will not be able to care about the affairs of Jueying Island... Oh, after 1999, Jueying Island will still be returned to Goryeo, but they will not be able to care before this.

This is a worry that a group of Goryeo masters who served as officials in Ueusu and soldiers in Busan Pu were both worried.

Most of their annual income is on those merchant ships. If they have no money to be collected, how can they live? Moreover, the lack of officials in Weizhou will not fall from the sky, and they have to pay for it. The cost has not been recovered yet, so why has it been 99 years since the cost was recovered? Isn’t this forcing people to go to the dead end?

Just as the officials around Ueju and the soldiers in charge of the guardians of Busan Pu were all anxious, a good news finally came.

Dozens of merchant ships appeared on the sea! They were all big and fat, and I don’t know how many good things were loaded on it!

This time, you must put a big pen on it!

Li Rulin, the Upper Man of the Great Goryeo Kingdom, secretly made up his mind: I must make up 10 million this time...Wen! Uh, Li Dazhou Mu only heard of the money from the two units, Qing and Guan, and had never seen it.

Moreover, money seems to be of little use in Goryeo. Most Goryeo people do not recognize copper coins, and they buy and sell goods and barter.

But Li Dazhou Mu just likes money! 10 million, I’m happy to think about it!

A military officer from Goryeo came to Li Rulin and whispered: "The governor of the state, it seems something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Li Rulin asked.

"You see those boats have oars..."

"Nonsense! How can the boat without oars drive?"

"The state governor, the large merchant ships on the sea generally do not have oars. They are used together with sails and paddles, and they are so big, they are mostly warships!"

This military officer is the commander of the navy in Pu, Busan. Although he has never fought a naval battle seriously and has never even fought a pirate (and can't beat it), he is a little wise.

I know that large ships transporting cargo at sea generally do not have many long oars to row! If there are too many people, there are also more supplies and fresh water, so there will be relatively fewer goods.

Moreover, merchant ships travel with the wind and go thousands of miles a day and night. There is no big difference between having oars or not, and transporting more cargo is the most important thing.

Generally speaking, only those warships owned by sea merchants will be equipped with long oars. But the problem is that there seem to be more than twenty large ships on the sea today that are rowing with wooden oars.

More than twenty warships...how is this possible?

It was impossible to think about it, so the military officer of the Goryeo Navy did not speak, and he would know when he waited for the "warships" to approach.

However, Li Rulin did not want to give the Sesame officer of the Goryeo navy a chance to get closer. He whispered: "Commander Quan, take a boat to stop them and tell them that this is the port of Great Goryeo. There are so many ships that they cannot enter the port together, and they can only enter two at a time. The rest are for me to wait on the sea outside the port."

"Here."

...

"So many people, and many officers and soldiers... Did they find that we are wrong? We need to be defended?"

At this time, Ji Yi was standing on the bow of the "God of Light" warship of the Ji Family Maritime Merchants, holding a telescope and looking at the pier in Busanpu.

Beside him was Hu Yanqing and the warship bow of the Ji family sea merchants.

Cheng Gui is a short Zhejiang man with dark skin and a terrible scar on his face. He wore a ten thousand-character scar on his head, a white silk shirt, an embroidered red belt on his waist, and a scimitar made of Uz steel hung on his belt. He was snatched from the Gram guards of a great country's maritime merchant.

Hu Yanqing also became much darker, wearing a white-washed green official uniform, wearing a very incompatible black belt, with a Xixia sword hanging on the belt, and was looking around with a distant tube in his hand.

Hu Yanqing's official position has also been promoted. Because he "liberated" Taiwan Island and Penghu, the military official was promoted to the deputy envoy of Xishanggemen, and the official became the inspector of the Five Islands under the Coastal Maritime Control Department. Now there are three inspection departments in the Wu Islands Inspection Department, Penghu Inspection Department, and Jingdong Inspection Department. In fact, they are three fleet commands, but they are just the name of the Inspection Department.

Among them, the Wudao Inspection Department and the Penghu Inspection Department are both fleets directly under the coastal Maritime Division, while the JD Inspection Department is under the jurisdiction of the JD Inspection Department. There are not many warships under the three inspection departments, but the fleet is already organized, and shipbuilding orders have been issued to the shipyard.

Moreover, Jiehe Shipbuilding School opened the "Warship Department" a year and a half ago and began to train naval officers. Now the first naval officer has graduated and is leading the training of water battle infantry on Danluo Island by Wu Sihai (Wu Side's younger brother).

"It's not like being a defense, but it's like watching the fun." Hu Yanqing also had a telescope in his hand, which clearly saw the situation on the edge of the dock. "But even if it's a defense, it's nothing. A bunch of soldiers looked so weak, and they all seemed like they didn't eat."

"Make a ship," Cheng Gui couldn't help but ask Ji Yi, "Do you want to hit them?"

Ji Yi also put down the telescope when she heard this and glanced at the number one thug of the Ji family's maritime merchant, "Don't shout and kill... You are the official army now! The official army is convinced by virtue. Xiadu, don't you think so?"

Hu Yanqing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, what the Maritime Manufacture says is very good. We must win people with virtue and be victorious. However, we must still make good preparations for fighting!"

Ji Yi breathed out, what's the matter? Is this a mission or a military force?

If he was on an envoy, he would not have a letter of state or an edict... If the Maritime Bureau had not had the right to go overseas to fight smuggle and recruit investment, the Censor could have participated in his own resignation.

It would be even more unreasonable to say that it was sending troops. This is a stubborn border provocation!

"Okay, then prepare for war!" Ji Yi sighed and issued an order to prepare for war. He did not have a letter of nationality or an edict, so he "took an envoy without authorization". It was simply unreasonable. So he had to scatter his teeth and scare the Goryeo people first, and then make sense with joy.

"Here!" Cheng Gui responded loudly, then spread his feet (barefoot) and ran to the stern of the boat, shouting to several leaders of the Ji family's naval army who were waiting there, "There is an order for the ship to prepare for the war!"

The orders on the ship were conveyed through flags or lanterns. With Chenggui's order, a red battle flag was immediately raised to the mast. At the same time, the water fighters who were waiting for the orders under the deck were all covered in paper armor, holding crossbows, and running barefoot to the deck. Some of the soldiers of the Ji family skillfully operated the crossbows on the deck, and put a spear wrapped in gauze soaked with animal grease, and installed a crossbow, with a ruthless spirit ready to kill and set fire at any time.

A burst of chaos alarmed Cui Xian and Su Shi who were resting in the cabin. They also came to the bow of the boat and were both surprised to see the look of facing a great enemy.

Cui Xian hurriedly asked: "Ji Shibo, are you going to be a quarrel?"

Ji Yi snorted: "Whether the war starts, it depends on what your officers and soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom do! This official escorts the officials of the Great Liao friendly countries to take over the Jueying Island Concession... If you dare to resist, then no wonder I am ruthless."

"Maritime," Hu Yanqing's voice sounded again at this time, "A small Korean boat approached, and there seemed to be an official from the Goryeo country on the boat."
