Chapter 219 Marry by decree

On November 1, Zhou Charter set off for North Korea on Ding Ruchang's Dingyuan ship.

Among Zhang Jun's old brothers, only Luo Mingfang was left to sit in Taiwan and preside over Taiwan's military affairs. The other old brothers all followed Zhou Charter to North Korea. North Korea is the birthplace of Zhang Jun, and the brothers all want to visit their hometown again.

Choose the Dingyuan ship, Zhou Charter is to give Ding Ruchang face. Ding Ruchang led the Beiyang sailors back to Weihaiwei. In the eyes of the imperial court, he was a traitor. Now, Zhou Charter wants Ding Ruchang to swagger along the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty and force the court to correct Ding Ruchang.

Sure enough, Dingyuan's ship docked in Xiamen, Shanghai, and even Weihaiwei for supplies along the way. Local officials ushered in the sending. They not only respected Zhou Charter, but also Ding Ruchang. Ding Ruchang did not want the admiral title sealed by the court for a long time. He is now the deputy of the navy of Zhang Jun. Commander. In Weihaiwei, Dai Zongqian, the infantry commander of the Qing army, personally boarded the ship, apologized to Ding Ruchang, and announced an ordinary edict against Ding Ruchang on the spot. At the beginning, it was Dai Zongqian who brought Ding Ruchang to Beijing. This made Ding Ruchang fiercely angry and more grateful to Zhou Charter.

Five days later, the Dingyuan ship docked at Dagukou, Tianjin, connected Zhili Admiral Nie Shicheng and Enshi Najin to the ship, and then sailed to Incheon.

Entering the sea of Incheon, Ding Ruchang ordered Dingyuan's ship to be hung in red. All the cannons were hung with red silk and satin, and the bridge was full of colorful flags. On the bow of the ship, there was a huge double happiness. On the top of Xizi, there were four big red characters - "Wedranged by decree".

Yehenara Jin, a scholar of Wenyuange University, brought the emperor's edict and gave Zhou Charter to marry Jin Shu.

Now the Jin has infinite scenery. Because of his beloved disciple Zhou Charter, he jumped from a three-class servant to a first-class university scholar. Of course, the university scholar is just a virtual title and has no practical authority. However, this old man Jin, valued precisely these illusory things all his life. This The false title fell on his head, which can be said to be true.

When Jin became a university scholar, the first thing he did was to ask the emperor to marry Jin Shu. In Jin's mind, Jin Shu was his favorite daughter-in-law. Although Zhao Qiaoer was virtuous, she was born in a small family. Liu Yingshu was a dusty woman. With Jin's temper, she should not enter the door of the Zhou family at all. Only Jin Shu, the daughter of Jin Yujun, a great Confucian in North Korea, is famous for Jin Yujun. , can you be right with that Jinmen. This is what Jin value the most. At the beginning, Nie Shicheng talked about this marriage to Jin, and Jin was very eager for it. However, God played tricks on people. Zhou Charter has married two wives, and Jin Shu has been unable to cross the door for a long time, which made Jin very unhappy.

Therefore, as soon as the war in Taiwan ended, Jin impatiently sent people to Taiwan to urge Zhou Charter to marry Jin Shu. The old man was also shrewd and afraid that there would be many dreams and something would happen. He simply asked Emperor Guangxu to marry him as a university scholar.

The emperor gave marriage, which is a certainty!

Zhou Charter succeeded in Taiwan, and Emperor Guangxu's attitude changed greatly, thinking about win over Zhou Charter. On the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Guangxu was happy to be a favor.

Actually, Zhou Charter is more anxious than Na Jin. Zhou Charter has long wanted to fly to North Korea without Jin's urging.

However, Na Jin made this marriage so grand that it was also in the heart of the Zhou Charter.

It is necessary to marry Jin Shu, but it is necessary to pay attention to how to marry.

Zhou Charter wants to give Jin Shu a beautiful wedding! In his mind, Jin Shu is his original wife, and the order of the imperial court should also belong to her. Now, the original wife can't be done, and the order has also been given to Zhao Qiaoer. Zhou Charter will make up for Jin Shu with a grand wedding.

At the same time, Zhou Charter will also use this wedding to stabilize the situation in North Korea. The situation between North Korea and Taiwan is very different. In the past, North Korea was a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan was the territory of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty set up a governor in Taiwan, appointed by the imperial court. The supreme ruler of North Korea is the king of the Koreans themselves, and the court of the Qing Dynasty can only canonate the king of North Korea.

Now, the Japanese have withdrawn from North Korea, the king of North Korea died, and the queen is exiled in Russia. The status of North Korea is undecided. Whether to continue to be a vassal of the Qing Dynasty or directly become the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has not been determined, and the North Korean people are also inconclusive. Some North Koreans hope that North Korea will leave the Qing Dynasty and become An independent country; and the clear-headed North Koreans, including Kim Hongji, realized that poor North Korea had no independent capital at all after this war. The so-called independence, the ultimate result is to become a colony of the great powers!

The Zhou Charter is determined to let North Korea take the third way - to make North Korea the territory of Zhangjun and directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Charter.

Zhou Charter believes that under the protection of the powerful Zhang army, North Korea can achieve national prosperity and people's security.

Therefore, Zhou Charter will also borrow his wedding with Kim Shu to make the North Korean people accept this same reality - North Korea and Taiwan will form a strong alliance.

With Kim Shu's appeal, the North Korean people can be persuaded to accept Zhang Jun's alliance with North Korea.

Therefore, Zhou Charter should marry Jin Shu with great fanfare, so that all North Korean people can see the status of Jin Shu in Zhou Charter's mind!

In order to marry Jin Shu, Zhou Charter did his homework. Dingyuan is the largest warship in Asia and a well-known warship in the world. Zhou Charter will use this sea giant to be the bride's sedan chair for Jin Shu.

The Dingyuan ship painted a new paint, and the whole ship took on a new look. All the officers and soldiers changed into the latest naval uniforms, and they were all in high spirits. Moreover, Ding Ruchang secretly screened the crew members in order to flatter Zhou Charter. They were short and obscene, and all of them stayed. The people who went to North Korea were all tall and tall young men.

Zhou Charter also carried a thick bride price, 10,000 taels of gold and one million taels of silver, which almost emptied Taipei's treasury. Liu Yongfu, the governor of Taiwan, was puzzled by this. He made almost all the cash in Taiwan's treasury empty. In the future, not to mention the reconstruction of Taiwan, even the general administrative expenses will be gone.

Zhou Charter said that he would persuade Liu Yongfu not to worry about it. There will be money and everything! He promised Liu Yongfu that a month later, he would give Liu Yongfu ten times the compensation!

Liu Yongfu was skeptical. Zhou Charter has always done what he said, but Liu Yongfu cut his head and couldn't figure out where Zhou Charter could get such a large amount of money back to him.

Jin Shu is an orphan, and no one in the family can accept this bride price. Zhou Charter regards Jin Shu as North Korea's daughter. This bride price will be distributed to all North Korean people by North Korean governor Park Yong-yeol. They are all Kim Shu's mother's family.
