"President, everything has been figured out, these planks are floating from North Korean waters.We sailed all the way in the direction of the current, and finally saved a living mouth in the sea, let him tell you" Deng Shichang gave a brief introduction, waved his hand and ordered the heralds to summon the fishermen they rescued in the sea."
Official, the little one is a fisherman, I still have a seventy-year-old mother to support at home, you better let me go home" The fisherman is a man in his thirties, wearing an old-fashioned coarse cloth robe, with a long braid on the back of his head, and his accent is Kanto."
Alright, get up and talk, we don't like people talking on their knees here."
Qiao Zhiqing ordered the fishermen to make room for him to sit down.The fisherman was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that Qiao Zhiqing was not teasing him, he carefully and respectfully sat down on the chair."
What is your name, where do you live, and how was the fishing boat damaged" Qiao Zhiqing put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, and looked at the fisherman with curiosity."
Back to the military master, the youngest surname is Yang Jinwang, and his home is along the Songhua River in Northeast China.When I was fishing, whenever I had free time, I would go to Korea to buy ginseng and sell it.Come and go, and make some hard-earned money every time.Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances, Xiao and his uncle hired a merchant ship this time, and more than a dozen sailors finished fishing, and wanted to take the opportunity to go to North Korea to buy some ginseng.However, as soon as the ship entered the waters of Korea, it was confronted by a huge sailing ship, which was full of artillery on both the upper and lower floors, and without saying a word, opened fire on us.The small ship was made of wood, and when two shells hit, it was broken into pieces.The little one had a big life, because he grabbed the oars and floated in the sea for three or four days, and when he opened his eyes, he arrived here. ”Yang Jinwang looked back with a bitter face, remembering the tragic situation of that day, his eyes turned red for a while."
Then can you see which country's gunboats are numbered, how many tonnage, and how big" Qiao Zhiqing's heart moved, constantly thinking about which country nearby had such gunboats."
I don't know which country is small, anyway, it's not North Korea's, and their country doesn't have such a big sea ship at all.The sea boats hired by my second uncle and I are more than 200 tons, but compared to them, they are like small boats, which are more than ten times larger than ours.There were about five or six of them, and the small ones were too scared to see clearly" Yang Jinwang carefully recalled what he had seen that day, and trembled with horror while thinking about it."
Okay, you go down to rest first, I'll have someone personally send you home another day" Qiao Zhi instructed Yang Jinwang lightly, and after he went down with a thousand thanks, he lit a cigarette and took a puff."
President, could it be the Qing court's ghost North Korea has absolutely no such a large gunboat" Deng Shichang analyzed it with Qiao Zhiqing and raised his eyebrows suspiciously."
No way, the Ministry of Defense has never received information from the Qing court on the development of the navy, and even if it is from the Qing court, they will never fire at civilian ships," Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong denied, his face full of doubts.It stands to reason that the powerful fleets in the Far East have been defeated by the navy, and this group of gunboats does not know where they came from: "I remember, when I attacked the Philippines last year, didn't I escape from six warships, and then we captured Taiwan and Japan, and found no trace of them, will they flee north to Korea?"
Wei Ziyou listened attentively for a long time, and finally had some clues in his heart, and he also analyzed it.Qiao Zhiqing looked at Wei Ziyou and smiled, and finally nodded and said, "Ziyou is right, these six Spanish warships have not been traced at the beginning, and then we gave up searching.I'm afraid they did it this time, but I don't know what they did when they shelled the fishermen's boats" "President, leave this matter to our North Sea Fleet, just take these foreign devils to practice Deng Shichang As soon as he heard that there was a battle to be fought, he immediately came to his senses, and he got up and hugged his fists and asked for his life."
This matter is not in a hurry, and it is not certain that it is the six warships of Spain, you sit down first" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand at this young and vigorous young man, and continued to analyze, "Since you are going to North Korea, you can't run in vain."
Not only to annihilate this unknown fleet, but also to take down North Korea.The DPRK is located in the large rear of Jinju, as long as we land from here.The Jinzhou defense line that the Qing court worked so hard to build was bound to be in a situation where the enemy was on the back of the enemy, and it would be easy for us to take Jinzhou. ”"What the president said is very true, and the Department of Defense has also discussed this plan.It's just that the Tibet issue has just been resolved, and I haven't had time to report to you yet. ”Huang Wenzhong immediately expressed his support, the Ministry of Defense has coveted North Korea for a long time, and there is only one place left in East Asia that has not been taken by the Huaxing Army."
That's good, after you go back, you will notify Wang Shumao and ask him to let the Ministry of Defense come up with an offensive plan as soon as possible."
Qiao Zhiqing nodded, and immediately gave an order to Huang Wenzhong.He doesn't have a good impression of North Korea at all, and in his time and space, whether it's a southern stick or a northern stick, his skin is not ordinarily thick.All famous figures and festivals in Chinese history have become theirs.Chi You is theirs, Hua Tuo is theirs, and even Li Bai is theirs.In the end, it is estimated that they fell in love with Chang'e and applied for the Mid-Autumn Festival as their cultural heritage.At the beginning of the early dynasty of the Forbidden City in Fengtian, Prince Yixuan, who was in charge of the household department, stood up and knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, this year's summer grain has been harvested.Because a large area of cultivated land has been reclaimed in the past two years, this year's grain harvest is also a bumper harvest. ”When the ministers in the court finally heard the good news, they all whispered with joy on their faces."
Very good, you have done a good job in the household department, is there anything else Cixi also nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.She saw that Yixuan wanted to speak and stopped, so she asked again."
If you go back to the Queen Mother, you will start with Lord Zhang Zhidong running the Northeast.Korea, as a vassal state of our Great Qing Dynasty, also has to hand over grain and grass to us at this time of year.But this year, they resisted not handing it over" Prince Alcohol replied with a deep face, and said this, and the ministers in the court suddenly quieted down."
What's going on, has their country suffered a disaster?"
Cixi raised her eyebrows curiously."
No, their country has not suffered a disaster, and this year has had a bumper harvest.The reason is that they have found a helper and openly provoked our Qing Dynasty" Prince Alcohol said again, this time it was not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but even Cixi was surprised."
It's just North Korea, but it's a small country, why do they dare to argue with me Daqing, and who is their helper, is it that Huaxingjun is making trouble," Cixi's face suddenly fell, and she patted the phoenix chair at Prince Alcohol and snorted."
The Queen Mother is angry, this matter has nothing to do with Huaxingjun.It's just that I don't know where a bunch of foreigners came from, and now they are stationed in North Korea.The ships we sent out to collect grain this year were all blown to pieces by these foreigners' gunboats, and we didn't bring back a single boatload of grain," Prince Alcohol continued to kneel and play, his voice full of indignation and excitement."
Foreigner" Cixi chuckled in her heart, since she moved to Kanto, there has been no news of foreigners for a long time."
Yes, it is the foreigners who think that North Korea has reached an agreement with the foreigners, and they think that our Qing Dynasty is in decline, so they dare to resist us.With such a treacherous vassal state, if we do not send troops, it will be difficult for us to demonstrate the majesty of our Qing Dynasty. ”Prince Alcohol suggested, and no one in the court objected for a long time.He had reached an agreement with Prince Gong and Prince Qing on this matter, and he was ready to take the opportunity of attacking Korea to plunder Korea again and make a small fortune.There has been no major upheaval in Korea in recent years, and the treasury should have silver in it.The three princes had no opinions, and of course no one in the court dared to say anything.Moreover, some officials have heard the name North Korea for the first time, and they don't even know where it is.Whether to fight or not has nothing to do with them."
The queen mother, the minister has something to play" Li Hongzao, the secretary of the military department, stood up at this time, and at first glance, he was ready to oppose Prince Alcohol's proposal."
Tell me, what's the matter with you" Cixi Jiao snorted, the residual anger on her face was still gone, and it seemed that she was angry with North Korea.She also had no idea about Korea in her heart, that is, she could hear this name every year when the vassal kingdom paid tribute.At this time, I was so angry, completely because I couldn't hold my face.Although the imperial court is weak, not everyone can bully.Now a small country dares to argue with the imperial court, and it is clear that it will not give her face.In Cixi's heart, the majesty of the court is her majesty, and the face of the court is her face."
Empress Dowager, although the grain in Kanto this year has been harvested.However, many of the victims who have been relocated from Kannai over the years have not been properly resettled.Many of them are still living a life of hunger and cold.Now is the right time to open a warehouse to release grain and relieve these victims, so as to show the emperor's grace and let the people sincerely support our Qing Dynasty.What's more, the Huaxing Army is still eyeing the Guanzhong, we must not forget to use the sword soldiers, so that the Huaxing Army can take advantage of the weakness to enter" The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and at this time, only Li Hongzao stood up to oppose it.No matter how rebellious Korea is, it can also serve as a barrier for the Qing Dynasty in the east.If the Qing Dynasty went to attack Korea, it would be tantamount to advancing the battle line to the sea and facing the powerful navy of the Huaxing Army directly."
What Lord Li said is bad" Prince Qing immediately stood up at this time, hugged his fists and knelt down with Cixi to salute, and then retorted, "We are thousands of miles away from the fertile fields of Kanto, where will there be so many disaster victims, is Lord Li mistaken, not to mention that the face of the imperial court matters, or the stomach of the disaster victims, the face is gone, what do you want to do with the stomach, you should teach North Korea a hard lesson now, and let them know who is the master" "Queen Mother, the slaves also think that not sending troops is not enough to deter the Quartet, North Korea is just a small country, even if it is a small country with troops, It doesn't cost much food and grass.In addition, our Jinzhou defense line is as solid as the Great Wall, and if the Huaxing army wants to fight over, unless it is winged, the queen mother does not have to worry too much" As soon as Prince Qing's words fell, Prince Gong also stood up to support the dispatch of troops to Korea.In his heart, North Korea is a fly, and it doesn't take much effort to swatt it to death.This piece of fat is placed there, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing
