After deciding North Korea, he was to establish the new king. Zhu Jun chose the right choice from the royal family close to the Li family, and finally selected a seven-year-old boy named Li Qin. Anyway, he was a puppet. As soon as Zhu Jun's decree was issued, he immediately issued a golden seal to Li Qin. The new king's ascension ceremony was also very simple. He only asked the court officials to congratulate him at Gyeongbokgung Palace and then completed it. As for North Korea's leadership and political affairs, Kim Do-chang was responsible for it. This person turned out to be the leader of the right political affairs, the old sect, and a typical pro-Ming faction.

On September 21, the coalition forces formed by 50,000 Japanese troops, 30,000 Korean troops, and 10,000 newly formed Beiyang Navy fleet officially headed to northern Korea. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was the commander of the Japanese army. Li Xian, who was originally the deputy general of the Beiyang Navy, was changed to the commander of the Three Dao of the North Korean Army as the commander-in-chief, while the Beiyang Navy General Yang Rang was in charge of the central army as the commander-in-chief. Their mission was not to attack, but to constantly harass, and to act as an attack at any time to force Liaodong.

Zhu Jun boarded the ship of the Beiyang Navy and began to return. The situation in the northeast finally opened. Zhu Jun did not expect to fight the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong at all. Due to the Manchus' purge policy, the Han people in Liaodong had died decades ago. Most of the people who live in the people are Manchus and Mongolians. The Ming army is at a disadvantage in the people's hearts and has lost people. The Liaodong Plain is suitable for cavalry combat. The Eight Banners of Manchus and Mongolia are all cavalry and are familiar with the terrain. Even if the Ming army alone seizes one city and one pond, there is not enough food and salary to maintain, which makes it a loss of territorial advantage. What Zhu Jun wants is just to use the North Korean and Japanese troops to attract the elite of the Qing Dynasty. There are only so many Eight Banners soldiers, and with more people guarding in Liaodong, the Jiangnan will naturally decrease.

He must go back as soon as possible. A real war will begin south of the Yangtze River. It is the fertile land that Zhu Jun salivates. If occupying Liaodong would cause the Ming army to fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate himself, then Jiangnan would be an excellent place for the Ming army to strengthen its strength. Once Liangjiang and other places are occupied, there is no need to say about the economy. Just talking about the sufficient manpower and fertile land here are not comparable to that of Liaodong.

The return journey was very fast, and there was no stop along the way. Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan were also crowded on Zhu Jun's main ship and chatted with Zhu Jun about the interesting things about sailing every day. Zhu Jun was happy and simply asked someone to carve a piece of chess to call the two to play chess. Chess is a relatively simple game, but the second Liu didn't know it. Zhu Jun said it roughly, both Liu understood the rules, but both of them were bad chess pieces. Although it was a great pleasure, Zhu Jun played chess with them and gave in.

Both cars were not helpful to the world, and Zhu Jun left in anger. Chess was like this. It was boring to be abused by others, and it was even more boring to abuse the chess. Every time Liu Guoxuan scratched his head and thought for a long time, Zhu Jun on the opposite side was anxious for him, and he wanted to use a trick. Playing chess was originally a matter of cultivating one's own character, but when he got to Zhu Jun, he became angry. It was more realistic to go and read the newspaper a few months ago. At worst, it would be better to read it a few more times.

As soon as Zhu Jun quit, Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan were very interested in playing chess. The two of them met the chess basket, which was just as good as the match, and it was very freehand. The bumps on the sea were originally boring. Sometimes when they went to sea to cruise or fight, they were always on the deck of a thousand meters, which was enough to make people suffocate. Therefore, since they had the fun of chess, they became addicted to them. They couldn't find their opponents and went to find their own soldiers. Inadvertently, chess became a popular game for the navy's officers and soldiers. For this reason, the navy also held several chess competitions, which were very lively.

While Zhu Jun was still pounding in the waves, the five elite battalions led by Oboi had already left Shanhaiguan to arrive in Liaodong. The east bank of the Yalu River is a coalition of the Three Kingdoms of Korea tomorrow. There are 100,000 troops. Oboi occasionally sent troops to harass the river, but there were no large-scale actions. Oboi did not dare to underestimate the enemy and did not take an offensive. Instead, he organized a defense line from Shengjing to Guanning, and organized a team of militia patrols composed of Manchus. In addition, several Mongolian banners in Liaodong also sent some warriors to listen to it. In this way, the coalition forces, which were not interested in crossing the border, were happy to be idle. They built fortifications on the east bank of the Yalu River. Anyway, they wouldn't leave. If we don't leave, Oboi wouldn't think about leaving. Let's waste here.

Oboi had fought for decades and naturally knew the intention of the Ming army, but he had no choice. First of all, he could not evacuate. Secondly, he did not dare to attack rashly. It was not because he was timid, but because he was helpless to the Ming army. The Qing army was known for its cavalry and was naturally extremely beneficial to the Guangpeng Liaodong land. However, there were a river in front of the Ming army, and there were hundreds of small ships and turtle ships of the Beiyang Navy on the river. This was not counted. After crossing the river, there were hundreds of fortifications, including hundreds of cannons and turtle guns. If you wanted to force cross the river, it was possible that the elites of the five battalions could not afford to consume them at all. This was the lifeblood of the people. How could they be consumed here?

Oboi was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. It was just that a good wife could not cook without rice. Although Oboi was angry, he was helpless. The only thing worthy of gratitude was that the Manchus in Liaodong were very welcome to Aoboi's call for him. Many people felt relieved. Most of the Manchus outside the pass had a farm, and they had a good meal. The inspiration in their early years had been tempered. All they left was to guard the ancestors' land. With Oboi, there was more of the Manchus outside the pass and the Manchus inside the pass. Therefore, Oboi's previous victorious record was mentioned with relish, which was very popular.

Two huge warships from Britain sailed to Haidu Harbour. The arrival of the warships scared the navy on the offshore cruiser of Haidu. The Nanyang Navy followed the emperor to Beiyang, leaving only one Western warship and four or five small and medium warships to protect it. After receiving the warning, the Nanyang Navy's fleet stationed in Haidu immediately dispatched to intercept. What is relieved is that the British warships did not make any attacks after discovering the Ming fleet, and immediately stopped sailing and obeyed the inspection and negotiated with it.

The leader was a Count Jason. He took off his triangular hat hanging with the eagle head logo and greeted the captain of the Qianhu, the Ming army. Then he said something that made the other party stunned: "Sir Captain, we are here by the order of the British king to escort Princess Anne to Haidu. And thank your Majesty the Emperor of your country for giving the Princess Land. His Highness liked it very much. She agreed to the proposal of Your Majesty the Emperor of your country. And hoped to meet Your Majesty the Emperor of your country before the wedding."

When the original text was translated to Captain Qianhu, the captain couldn't help but be stunned. What is this and what is it

He had heard of a gift from the princess of the Wild. I heard that a whole box of single beads was 9v. Other places were ships of silk, tea, ceramics, etc., which were not worth much in the sea. I heard from Arab merchants that in the Europa continent, these things were enough to exchange for gold of the same weight. It was priceless. But there was a little that the captain of Qianhu didn't understand: "It would be fine if you are willing to be a concubine in the palace. You should stay in your country and wait for a marriage. How could you come over and see your husband before you even passed the door? This Wild man is really strange.

Tsk. Look at their appearance. It's really hideous and terrifying. The British princess must be unbearable. Could it be that the emperor wants to learn from Zhaojun to go out of the frontier and endure the barbarians and marry their princesses. In order to be a friend of Europa? Oh, the emperor is so kind. He wants to make such a sacrifice for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Will doing this a bit insulting the national system? Well, probably not. The British princess is here to be a concubine. It's not the emperor who is a concubine for her. Oh, it's not that it makes sense. After saying this, it seems that the emperor has taken advantage of it. What is this?

Captain Qianhu had a lot of imagination. He thought a lot. He looked at the Count opposite him and nodded politely. He said to the Count: "Our ships will guide your country's fleet into the port. Welcome your country's fleet to visit Haidu." Captain Qianhu said frantically. Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites has given a brief training for these rude men and will also say some polite words.

Captain Qianhu returned to this ship and began to protect the British warships and sailed into the military dock on the other side. After getting ashore, he quickly asked someone to inform the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were stunned. There was no such rule. What etiquette should be used to welcome this? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no emperor wanted to marry a wife and concubine. He had to let two people meet first. So there was another debate. The two new and old factions in the Ministry of Rites immediately argued that the etiquette was not in line with each other. They chose to use a compromise method to hope to downplay the arrival of the princess. The etiquette of the British Kingdom was received for a day. People were still in the port. They were not in a hurry. They dusted their robes and drank a sip of tea to moisten their throats. Let's debate tomorrow. Hehe. You have grown up. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have been quoted. I will check the classics of poetry tonight. I will make you look good tomorrow.

There was no news from the Ministry of Rites. The British could only take a break in the port. The captain of Qianhu could not see it. He found a clean inn to let them stay.

Yibin Inn, the high-end wing room in the backyard here has been taken away by someone. The British Earl and his group lived in. The rest of the sailors were still resting near the port. The sky gradually dimmed. Although the British warships arrived at noon, it was dusk after the complicated mooring and landing. The sky was shining with thousands of rays of glows, and the sound of insects became more and more prosperous, which made people born in a foreign land look a little expectant and a little irritable.

The pane of a separate courtyard was gently opened, and a young blonde woman with blue eyes showed her face, with thin willow eyebrows, blue and slightly sunken eyes, her face was smooth and greasy, and her thin lips were twisted, as if she was thinking about something.

"Susan, what's the layout of the courtyard outside the window here? I lightly open my teeth and said to the maid who tidied up the mattress in the wing room.

Susan was only twenty-one years old. She stopped her work and replied with a smile on her lips: "It's too hot here. Your Highness, Princess, as long as you are satisfied."

Princess Anne nodded slightly, slightly tidying the red hair on her forehead, closed the window, and said to Susan seriously: "But I like this place. To be honest, this is my first trip to freedom."

Susan frowned and muttered, "Yes, it's the first and last time. What's wrong with men? I think the crown prince of Osseni in Austria is very good. People say he is both handsome and decent. His Royal Highness, men are not all bad things. You can't come here in anger. The kings of the East always have endless wives, and you are just one of them."

Princess Anne giggled: "Isn't this good? The more his wife, I can be a little further away from him. I just want to live my own life. My life does not include men. It will be a good marriage. My father can get what he wants politically and can bring countless silk and porcelain to England. And I, too, have freedom, Susan, if you don't want to stay here, I can have the Earl send you a boat to take you back."

Susan stuck out her tongue and stopped talking, and said to herself, "What a strange princess. Are you going to stay here for the rest of her life just because she hates men? I bet she will regret it one day."

Princess Anne stretched her waist lazily: "I have been bumping on the boat for two months, and I really want to have a good sleep."

……………………………………………………………………

On the second day, the Ministry of Rites had another fierce debate. Two groups of people were citing the classics and slandering them, which was very lively. In the end, the Minister of Rites knew that this would be like this, so he simply became a hand-off manager and submitted it directly to the cabinet to see how the cabinet handled it.

At this time, Mu Tianbo had returned to Haidu from Yunnan. In addition to Mu Tianbo and Yang Side, there were three counselors. They had some leisure time. When Mu Tianbo saw the memorial, he called Yang Side to discuss it, and finally decided. If you have to do the best of the landlords, don’t welcome them first, just arrange them to the Wanguo Pavilion, and wait until the emperor comes back before handling it.

But the next day, something that made the Ministry of Rites even more annoyed. A group of people who claimed to be British princess in the north of Haidu City had a dispute with a group of people who were performing arts on Wanfuchang Street. The princess's servant also injured one person. When the monk from Shuntian Mansion arrived at the scene, the entire street corner was in chaos.

What kind of decent things is it? How can it be? Several old men from the Ministry of Rites beat their chests with regret and hurried to the Shuntian Prefecture Office to pick up people. The matter was cleared. It turned out that the artists on the street performed a big stone on their chest, a little girl was pressed on the stone slab, and then a strong man shattered the stone slab. But at this time, the princess and his party saw it. They thought they were committing murder in the street. Several servants rushed up and beat the strong man with hammers. This was a mess. Some watched the fun, some couldn't stand it and went to help. The whole street was in chaos for a while.

The monk from Shuntian Mansion caught his group in the yamen. After asking about the princess' identity, he did not dare to deal with it.

It is the future imperial concubine, who dares to go to the trial? He had to secretly stuff some money and send it away, and go to report to the Ministry of Rites on the other hand.

The candidate for the imperial concubine actually went out to the streets. Not to mention, but he was even beating people in the street. What's the point? Several old antiques have covered their chests and beaten them. They have never seen such a thing in China for four thousand years. If this is spread, will it be more or less polite? If it doesn't work, these barbarians must know the education, let His Highness the Princess know the etiquette and the rules. The Ministry of Rites did not argue this time, and almost unanimously passed. Then a cram school composed of thirteen etiquette officials was selected to prepare for teaching.

The question is again. The British princess is a woman, and it is very likely that the mother of the world will become a concubine. How can she show up in public and contact the men in the cram school team? Although these people are all bad old men, they cannot violate the rules.

There is a way, and not all the people in the Ministry of Rites are nerds. Someone soon made suggestions. Since men cannot teach them, let the female relatives go. Old men cannot go. Old women are all the same. The selection of these old women is also knowledgeable. First of all, the family members of the Ministry of Rites are necessary. This is crucial. The family members of the Ministry of Rites are naturally understood by the rules. Secondly, those who have to read the "Female Sutra" and "Biography of Women". After choosing, the idle officials of the Ministry of Rites finally picked up seven old nannies and sent them over.

One day, the Ministry of Rites was in full swing again. It turned out that the people had just passed by and rushed back to the princess. The barbarians were rude and ignorant of education, and they were kind-hearted and treated it as a donkey's liver and lungs. A large group of old men beat their chests again, but what can they say? They are princesses and future imperial concubines, so they can't be tough.

The old men still have a way. Since you can't be tough, then just play curve strategies and play the world. It's not a matter of minutes for our ancestors to play the rest of things. Afterwards, Earl Jason, who has always been unwilling to care about the West, received invitations after invitation. On a certain month and a certain day of a certain year, you welcome your honor to the humble house. A few glasses of wine and a table of shallow food. Earl Wanwang will definitely come here. Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!

The mission of Earl Jason on this mission was to send the princess to Haidu, and in addition to trying to maintain good friendship with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect the invitations of these officials. Although he did not know the governor of the sixth rank, the fifth rank, and the fourth rank, the supervisor of the etiquette, no one could offend him. Earl Jason saw the prosperity of Haidu, and was both envious and a little scared. From the mouths of the locals, he heard that the Ming fleet had hundreds of large ships, including the large warships that were comparable to Western warships.

Half of it, although he did not see it with his own eyes, he believed it. This city with a population of 500,000 is just the tip of the iceberg of the Ming Dynasty. Its wealth is enough to be comparable to the richest Netherlands in Europe. Raising a few huge fleets is nothing. Jason was very excited. Once Britain and the Ming Dynasty marry, Britain will become the closest ally of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, which is something that many countries cannot have. Well, this is a good start. Jason put on his dress and was honored to attend banquets one after another.

The cold is not cold, the turbid wine is not turbid, the shallow food is exquisite, and the host is very attentive, Jason is very happy, but the host's tone is unchanging at every banquet, and it is a lot of words. He asked about the customs of the UK. Jason answered truthfully, and the host shook his head with regret. Then it was wrong for you to do this, what should you do, otherwise, what would happen, Jason dizzy. At the end of the banquet, the host took Jason to the side hall to have tea, repelled the servants, and asked mysteriously whether the princess of your country has hidden illness? What books do you read on weekdays? What do you like? In this way, Jason immediately answered correctly, our princess was not talking about, it was the most beautiful lady in the UK. She was good at riding horses, liked to enjoy music, and danced very well. This was a lady's sports.

When the master heard this, his face changed drastically, and he almost choked to death by a mouthful of tea. He rode a horse? It turned out to be a barbarian. How could a lady from a wealthy family ride a horse, let alone a dignified princess of a country. It's not good, bad! There are music and dancing? This is even more sensational. It's simply a luxurious life and a slutty manner. It's a great deal.

The master immediately began to persuade the princess of your country with golden branches and jade leaves. How can he be trained like this? This is not possible. In the future, you are a British nobleman. I heard that when it comes to the princess’ uncle, you must discipline him well and not be arrogant. Before leaving, the master would give him a few books very politely, all of which were carefully printed, and he also specially invited a translation to translate the contents of the book into English, such as "The Women's Commandments", "Inner Training", "The Women's Analects of Confucius", and "The Women's Fan Jielu" one by one. My buddy is not bad at books.

Jason didn't care about it once or twice, but he had two meals every day, and he had such a routine. The books he collected were piled up in a whole box. The invitation was still a month later. After this invitation, the invitation was over, and the invitation was over, and there was another one, endless. The most terrifying thing was that these people seemed to be from the same mold, all wearing regular robes, stroking their long beards, smilingly urging them to drink. After eating, they went to the side hall, and then the same conversation and gave the same book. Jason was really miserable and wanted to vomit as soon as he saw the banquet.

At this time, the fleet that Zhu Jun was on finally returned to Haidu. Only the Nanyang Navy came back with the ship. The Dongyang Navy had already left the way to Qiongzhou when he was in Taiwan. The emperor returned to Beijing, so naturally he was in a mess again. The Ministry of Rites no longer cared about any British envoys and hurriedly prepared to take over the matter.
Chapter completed!
