"Zhang Rui, you are too reckless this time. We could have continued to do business with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and accumulated a lot of wealth. But now that you have made such a fuss, we have completely broken up with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Don't talk about it in the future.

It's business, and I'm afraid I may suffer revenge from the Ming Dynasty!" In a luxurious mansion in Zhongqing Port, North Korea, the majestic Qi Yanming roared at the pale Zhang Rui.

"Brother Qi, I did do something reckless this time, but you also know my story. After seeing my wife that day, I really couldn't control myself. I was confused and ordered people to attack the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's fleet.

I want to keep her, if possible

If possible, I would like Zhou Zhong to hand over my daughter, but I didn’t expect the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce’s fleet to be so powerful. Even with hundreds of ships, we couldn’t keep each other.” Although Zhang Rui was apologizing, his face remained still.

He has a calm and calm look.

After Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui met by chance at sea, they escaped from the fleet when they arrived in North Korea, and then lived temporarily in Zhongqing Port. However, they soon discovered that Zhongqing Port was actually a very good place. Not only were there rich people, but also

Kim Moon-hyun, the president of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, also has a deep relationship with the King of Joseon.

Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui are both good people and they will never settle for mediocrity anywhere, especially after seeing the special status of Zhongqing Port, so they took the initiative to join the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce and then worked hard to climb up. As a result, they soon became

He was appreciated by Jin Wenxian for his ability, and

Both of them changed their names and claimed to be Koreans. Together with Jin Wenxian's promotion, they soon became the top figures in the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Rui, in particular, also collected many beauties and gave them to the Korean King Li Long.

As a result, Jin Wenxian soon left Jin Wenxian and started a relationship with Li Long.

A few months ago, Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui felt that the time was finally ripe. And Jin Wenxian seemed to feel that their strength was growing too fast, so he wanted to slowly weaken their influence on the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce, but the result was not waiting.

When Jin Wenxian took action, Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui took the initiative and led their men to kill Jin Wenxian and several other leaders of the Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop, thereby completely taking control of the entire Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce.

Although Jin Wenxian belonged to Li Long, after Zhang Rui and Qi Yanming killed Jin Wenxian, they immediately sent Li Long a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and many beauties, and took the initiative to increase the annual wealth handed over by the Chamber of Commerce by 10%.

, which made Li Long very happy. Anyway, he

It seems that the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce is just a tool for making money for himself to squander. As for who manages this tool, he doesn't care at all, as long as it can provide enough money, so he did not pursue the death of Jin Wenxian, but instead acquiesced to Qi Yanming and

Zhang Rui’s approach.

Qi Yanming is a warrior who is in charge of the fleet and armed forces of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Rui was a scholar before and served as the governor of the East Factory. He is very good at management, so he took over the business and finance of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce.

Yiwu also cooperated very well.

In addition, Zhang Rui and Qi Yanming also saw the chaos in North Korea, especially Li Long's ruthless elimination of the gentry forces in the country, and the rebellion of the Japanese and Jurchens in the north and south, plus Li Long's cruelty to North Korea.

This policy has caused the entire North Korea to tremble under Li Long's tyranny. With the people in dire straits, North Korea is already brewing a disaster of national destruction.

Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui have a very clear view of the situation in North Korea, but they have no intention of changing it. They even hope that North Korea will become more chaotic, because only when it becomes chaotic can they have a chance to stand out.

,for example

Zhang Rui's life has gone through many ups and downs, and his temper has become more extreme. He now wishes that the whole world would be in chaos. As for Qi Yanming, let alone Qi Yanming. He started his career as a rebel. If the world is not in chaos, what will he do?

rebel.

Both Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui knew that North Korea was going to be in chaos, but they both knew it tacitly. Zhang Rui worked hard to run the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce and worked hard to accumulate wealth, using the wealth to buy weapons and food. Qi Yanming began to recruit people for training, especially

Those who were implicated by the nobles and fled to

North Korean generals outside were the focus of his recruitment. As a result, he recruited more than 3,000 people in just a few months. Fortunately, these people had been training in the valley next to Chungcheong Port and did not participate in the previous siege of Bai Junwan.

fleet, otherwise they may really not be able to return.

Originally, the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce was running smoothly under the management of Zhang Rui and Qi Yanming, and the removal of Jin Wenxian was done very covertly. Even the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce did not notice that the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce had changed people. Unfortunately, when Zhang Rui saw Bai Junwan on the ship that day, his mood changed.

I was so excited that I finally ordered people to besiege the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's fleet in an attempt to snatch Bai Junwan away. As a result, I caused a big disaster.

Qi Yanming heard Zhang Rui admit that he had made a mistake. Although he did not admit his mistake on his face, he knew that Zhang Rui had a proud temperament and it was very rare for him to admit his mistake, so it was not easy to blame him anymore.

"Brother Zhang, although we have accumulated some food and weapons, and our personnel are almost fully trained, North Korea is not completely in chaos, and we don't dare to make any big moves. But now we have fallen out with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

heavy

If you have a bad temper, I'm afraid I will ask Li Long immediately. When Li Long is blamed, how should we deal with it?" Qi Yanming sat down and took a big sip of tea and asked. Zhang Rui is resourceful, so when encountering this kind of problem, Qi Yanming will

Let him make the decision.

"Brother Qi, you are thinking too much. It is really unfortunate that there is a monarch like Li Long in Korea. Although the Ming Dynasty helped him put down the rebellion of the Japanese in the south and the Jurchens in the north, his persecution of the domestic gentry has already

At its peak, countless people related to the gentry were killed, coupled with his lustful person, causing the entire North Korea to

People are angry, and it can be said that North Korea is on the verge of riot now. As long as someone rises up, other places will definitely follow suit, so in my opinion, now is the time!" When Zhang Rui said the last word, his face also flashed.

There was a strange flush, as if the thought of the blood-soaked scene in North Korea made him very excited.

"Now?" Qi Yanming was startled when he heard Zhang Rui's words, and said a little unconfidently, "We have only been preparing for a few months. We have just prepared soldiers, weapons, and food. If we rebel now, I am afraid we will be beaten."

Will the North Korean officers and soldiers destroy it immediately?"

"Haha, Brother Qi, you have been training in the valley during this time, but you don't know much about the situation outside. Apart from anything else, there was a prosperous town thirty miles northeast of Zhongqing Port, but Li Long

In order to build the new palace, the original taxes were doubled.

As a result, not only the farmers can't afford it, but also the businesses in the town can't afford it. Now most of the shops in that town have been closed, there are only a few pedestrians on the streets, and even most of the farmers around the town have fled.

Many people come to the port to stutter."

Zhang Rui paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "In addition, the southern and northern parts of Korea have been severely harmed by the Japanese and Jurchens. Now they are uninhabited and full of bandits. In order to maintain the

For public security, North Korea has to send its master's troops there. Now the entire North Korea is empty of troops. As long as we can organize a large army in a short time, then Li Long is not our opponent at all!"

After listening to Zhang Rui's analysis, Qi Yanming also became more confident. He punched his thigh and said, "So that's it. It seems that this Li Long is even more stupid than Zhengde. North Korea is really unlucky to encounter such a king."

It's extremely bad, but for us brothers, it couldn't be better. I'll organize an army right away. You prepare weapons and food, and when we choose the right time, we will raise the flag to rebel!"

Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui saw the opportunity for civil strife in North Korea and planned to rebel. Zhou Zhong, who was far away in Shuangyu Port, did not know about this, nor did he know that the change in the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce was due to two old enemies, Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui.

If he knew about it, he would probably immediately send out soldiers to encircle and suppress the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce, even if it leads to antagonism with North Korea. After all, if these two people really grow up, the threat to himself will be too great.

In the winter of the 11th year of Jeongdeok's reign, a rebellion broke out in Chungcheong Port, the westernmost tip of North Chungcheong Province. The rebels, led by the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, were so powerful that they captured several towns in just a few days. Moreover, they claimed to "kill the faint king and equalize the land."

The slogan attracted countless bankrupt North Korean poor people to join along the way. By the time this army, known as the Loyal Qing Army, arrived in Qingzhou, the entire army had reached 100,000 people, and the North Korean troops along the way did not dare to fight them.

Cheongju is the administrative seat of North Chungcheong Province and the most important city in the entire province. Therefore, the officials here naturally did not dare to escape and could only desperately organize troops to prepare to defend the city. Unfortunately, when the Chungcheong Army arrived at Cheongju Castle on the second night, Cheongju

in the city

A group of poor people rioted. Not only did these rebels rush into the wealthy areas of the city, smashing them, but they also opened the city gates. As a result, the Zhongqing Army rushed into the city very smoothly and quickly controlled it with the help of the rebels.

After arriving at Qingzhou City, Qingzhou fell.

After Qingzhou City was captured, Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui decided to take a break. After all, they suddenly attracted 100,000 people to join their army. These people were mixed, and they had to be reorganized to improve their combat effectiveness.

However, although the offensive of the Zhongqing Army stopped, North Korea did not calm down. With the example of the Zhongqing Army, the nobles who had been pushed to the edge of the cliff by Li Long finally couldn't bear it anymore and finally united to form an army of nobles to rebel. In addition, there were also
