Chapter 211: Rejection is just two words, he said it countless times
The King of Korea was about to burst into tears.
He had never seen such an arrogant person in his life.
They are so sweet and talkative, and they are asking for their Jeju Island right away!
The other party who did this robbery act was still self-righteous: "My Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources, so I don't care about this small island. But you are a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, but you pretend to obey. If I don't punish a few of you, how can the Qing Dynasty manage the vassal states?"
"No! No! Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, please don't misunderstand me, I..."
The King of Korea denied it three times in a row, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Eighth Prince: "Nothing? Didn't you slander your father and wantonly destroy his reputation? Or did you not continue to use the Chongzhen reign title and did not worship the Ming emperor?"
"You are the king of a country after all, how can you be so naive? If there is no solid evidence, why would this prince come here through mountains and rivers?"
So there is nothing more to say, and let’s stop resisting in vain!
If we surrender Jeju Island immediately, we can avoid a war between the two countries.
otherwise……
The Eighth Prince chuckled: "Once our army attacks, it will not be a problem that can be solved by just Tamra Island."
The King of Korea was furious: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince is so arrogant and presumptuous. Aren't you afraid that our country's patriots will be indignant and let you come here with your life but go back with your life?"
On this point, the Eighth Prince was particularly frank.
He said that although he was afraid, he also believed that the king was a wise man, and he believed even more in the Qing Dynasty behind him.
"If the king insists on having his own way and is willing to gamble his own country's fate for Yinsi's life, then I will use my life to add another province to the Qing Dynasty."
However, in order to prevent the King of Korea from getting extremely angry, he was used as a sacrifice without any hesitation.
The Eighth Prince reminded him, "Your country sends envoys to pay tribute every year. The king should also know how strong the Qing Dynasty is and how much this prince's father values his son."
This is not bragging.
Before he was swept up in the controversy over the dethronement of the crown prince, the Eighth Prince was also one of Kangxi's favorite princes.
He married the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le and was conferred the title of Beile at a young age.
There are often bodyguards when touring the south or hunting in the north.
The reputation is high and of course the King of Korea is aware of it.
Hearing this, he quickly laughed: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince is really a joker. Korea has always been a loyal vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and I also respect the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You have condescended to come here, and I am so busy welcoming you, how dare I do anything bad to you. It's just..."
It happened too suddenly and too big.
Even as a king, he couldn't make a hasty decision. So...
The Eighth Prince nodded in understanding and expressed his willingness to give time for discussion.
Then he left with the same openness as he had come, waving his hand, but forgetting to take with him the evidence that the King of Korea had tried to bribe him.
His arrogance was so great that the King of Korea gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty behind him, he would have been buried in a foreign land at all costs.
Although he seemed to be strolling leisurely, the Eighth Prince, with his heart in his throat, chuckled and cursed the man as a coward in his heart.
But cowards are good!
As long as the North Korean side is timid enough, it will be easier to achieve his goal. When the Khan Ama is crowned as the prince, he will be able to go one step further.
It doesn’t matter whether he’s a Duke or a Prince, he just doesn’t want to use the same title as that unlucky guy in history!
What is honest about?
If possible, he would like to be a prince.
Noble and honorable.
It doesn’t matter if it fails, I don’t want that damn Prince Lian anyway!
The strong desire prompted the Eighth Prince to write down everything about his trip to Korea, and sent it to the emperor in an expedited manner, along with the "evidence of guilt".
Yin Xuan was shocked when he heard the news: "Sure enough, powerful people are powerful in all fields. Myna brought only a few people across the ocean to Korea and dared to ask for Jeonra Island in front of the Korean king!"
[How eloquent did he have to be to not let the other party get angry and hit him directly. Instead, he gave him gold, silver and jewelry and let him leave in a swagger?]
Yeah yeah.
The princes were also secretly confused.
As princes of the Qing Dynasty, they were of course happy to see the expansion of the dynasty's territory.
But Jeonra Island is strategically located and covers a large area. It has always been an important place for North Korea. Can it really be coaxed by a few words from Lao Ba/Myna?
The crown prince's title is about to be conferred, and the princes have mixed feelings.
I hope the Eighth Prince will succeed, but I am also a little afraid of his success.
Only Yinxuan was thinking about climbing up the ladder.
In addition to thinking of dominating Tamra and making use of its role as a maritime trade hub, I let Fourteenth Brother and the others train the navy there.
The constant deterrence made the timid King of Korea never dare to think of rebellion again.
They were also on guard everywhere, sending troops to Japan at any time and anywhere. While taking loans for revenge, they also completely eliminated the hidden dangers.
For this purpose, he helped to come up with various ideas, and did not get angry when they were rejected. He ran back and forth between the Ministry of War and Mr. Huang. He actively exerted his "intelligence" and tried every means to inspire the inspiration of the two big men.
The goal was to allow the Qing navy to use steam ships and equip them with high-performance shipborne artillery and even torpedoes during the reign of Emperor Kangxi.
Huang Luzhuang was lucky as he had already witnessed the intelligence of the Eighteenth Prince.
He did not doubt it at all and just thought himself to be stupid as he had never thought about it in this regard before. It was all thanks to the Eighteenth Prince's unique idea.
Yin Xuan, who had been a habitual thief for so many times, blushed slightly: "It's just talk. Whether it is feasible or not still needs Mr. Huang and other distinguished friends to verify it carefully."
What's the point?
Huang Luzhuang, who was uninhibited and inventive by nature, waved his hand and said, "Eighteenth Prince, you are too polite. I am fortunate to be able to participate and witness miracles thanks to your trust and support. I dare not say anything else, but I will devote all my heart and soul to the research and strive to bring good news as soon as possible."
Of course, Yinxuan has great confidence in the strength of Oriental Edison.
Bicycles, thermometers, etc. are evidence that as long as he is given enough relevant support, it is only a matter of time before the steam engine appears in his hands.
Dai Zi...
Dai Zi's ability was of course unquestionable, but the problem was that he was not sociable. After being exiled, he became even more fearful.
It was difficult for him to teach his disciples, let alone the disciple of a prince?
The first time Yinxuan went to the Ministry of War, he knelt down as soon as he explained his purpose. He talked about the hard work of firearms research and the various dangers that might be encountered, and said frankly that the Eighteenth Prince was not suitable. Later, he said that he was not talented enough and did not dare to teach the Eighteenth Prince.
Just two words: "Rejection", and he said it countless times.
I want to express with all my heart that this thing looks earth-shattering and powerful, and it is actually powerful. If you don't handle it well, the researchers will be shattered before the results are released.
He loved it so much that he wasn't afraid of dying because of it.
but……
Seeing that he was hesitant, Yinxuan allowed him to speak frankly.
Then, Lord Dai really threw aside all his concerns: "I love what I do. Since I have chosen this path, I am not afraid of dying because of it. But I am afraid that my family will die because of me."
