Ming Zuo

Chapter 958 The Plan Begins

Huang Taiji disliked the royal palace of North Korea very much.

It was cramped and cramped, with air leaks everywhere, which made him unable to sleep well.

If this poor place was not right next to Manqing, he probably wouldn't even want to take a second look.

Ironically, it is now time to fight for this vassal state.

"Xia Jun's weapons are even more powerful."

In his hand he was caressing a musket, which was a firing pin gun captured by the Qing army.

Finding that this gun was completely different from the cap gun used by Xia Jun, the Qing army immediately realized the problem and hurriedly sent it to Hanyang.

After such a long time, the Qing army has figured out how to use the firing pin gun.

Because of this, Huang Taiji felt powerless.

He has seen the process of using this gun with his own eyes. The rapid rate of fire made his heart jump even with his strong nerves.

Fortunately, the front line reported that Jun Xia didn't have many such terrifying weapons.Otherwise, Huang Taiji might lose the courage to fight.

Even so, he was still a little puzzled by the fact that Busan had never made any progress.

"Jun Xia is only defending, not attacking?"

After Ning Wan, I quickly said: "It is true."

Huang Taiji attached great importance to the use of Han literati. After Fan Wencheng's death, Ning Wanwo took advantage of the situation and became the Han minister he relied on most.

"It's really weird. With Xia Jun's strength, it shouldn't be like this."

Man Qing and Xia Jun have fought against each other several times, so they naturally have a deep understanding of Xia Jun's strength.Based on Huang Taiji's perception of Zuo Menggeng, he is definitely not a person who only takes beatings and never fights back.

Back then, only two thousand soldiers dared to block Lengshui Pass.

Now that Xia's army is strong and strong, how can he be content with a corner of Busan?

He closed his eyes and meditated, countless pictures flashed in his mind, but he still had no clue.

It is true that he is majestic, but one's knowledge is bound to be limited by the environment in which he lives, which will also constrain his thinking.

Jeju Island is now boiling.

Countless North Koreans were relocated here and put into labor.

Shen Daoxun and Li Chong had already taken off their traditional robes and Confucian shirts, and put on the modern clothes of Xia Kingdom.

Only when people are busy can they realize the importance of convenience.

Since becoming officials, Shen Daoxun and Li Chongping realized for the first time that being an official is so tiring.

Countless people need to be managed, countless projects need to be supervised, and countless materials need to be coordinated.This kept the two of them so busy that they often didn't even have time to eat.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to leisurely wear long gowns and Confucian shirts.

Li Chong is younger and more radical.He has even imitated Xia Guoren's appearance and cut off his long hair.

"You have already felt how cold it is in winter. If you don't want to suffer from the cold next winter, you should work harder and build your house."

The scale of Jeju City has expanded countless times, and houses are rising from the ground.Looking around, they are neatly arranged and orderly, like an army.

Originally, this was the administrative center of Jeju Island and the most populous place.Because it is located on a plain with fertile land, it is the place that can support the largest population on Jeju Island.

Therefore, when immigrants came, most of them were settled here.While building the city, the wasteland was opened up, and the original town was rapidly expanded and turned into a city.

According to Zuo Menggeng's order, this brand new city was named Jeju City, which is still the center of Jeju Island.

Shim Do-hoon served as the observation envoy of Jeju Province.

Jeju Island was originally under the jurisdiction of Jeolla Province, but now it is completely independent.

Although this is Xia Guo's self-assessed regulation, Shen Daoxun is very happy.

After all, it is always good to be promoted.

After him, Li Chong became the mayor of Jeju City and was promoted to a higher level.

Seeing that Jeju Island is becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more people and resources under management, and more and more power, Shen Daoxun and Li Chongle are among them, and they work harder and harder.

Lin Qingye was as busy as them.

He was arranged to assist Huang Fei in the matter of emigrating to Jeju Island.

So many people came over, looking at them at a loss, they couldn't just ignore them.So Lin Qingye stayed and organized the people to build production.

It was only here that Lin Qingye could feel the origin of Xia Kingdom's strength.

The houses here are built with bricks and tiles, and there is something called cement.

The magic of cement shocked him inexplicably.

Especially in the cities, the roads built with cement are extremely flat and strong, and no matter how much goods the horse-drawn carts walk on, they will not worry about bumps.

In this way, the houses built made the North Korean people even more happy.

They were so impoverished in the past, they were satisfied with building a shelter from the wind and rain with thatch, mud and stones.But now they live in a brick house with glass windows.

This is a wealth that neither class of gentlemen can enjoy.

Although these things need to be repaid slowly by the people through future labor, the huge improvement in life still makes them forget the pain of migration and devote themselves to labor wholeheartedly.

"Brother Lin, come with me."

Huang Fei came to find him, very anxious.

Lin Qingye wiped off the sweat from his face, and asked inexplicably, "What happened?"

Huang Fei was very excited.

"The military order has come down, the army is about to go out, and officials who understand local affairs are needed. We are old partners, you have to help me."

"The army is going out?"

Lin Qingye was a little confused.

Where did the army come from?

But when he was dragged by Huang Fei all the way to the pier in Seogwipo, he was overwhelmed by the scene in front of him on the spot.

But in the huge port, countless people are gathering here.At first glance, it was dark, like dark clouds all over the sky, and I didn't know how many there were.

On the sea outside the port, the sails covered the clouds and the sun, and even the color of the sea could not be seen.

As the saying goes, when there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit.But when the boat reached tens of thousands, the spectacular scene could no longer be described in words.

It is not clear how many ships there are, but the power contained in them made Lin Qingye understand that such a scale is enough to destroy the world.

At this time, every plank road in the port has been utilized, and countless artillery are lined up to the horizon, shining a piercing cold light in the sun.

The light artillery weighing hundreds of catties was hoisted and sent to the ship one after another; the heavy artillery weighing several thousand catties was carried forward and backward by dozens of people, shouting uniformly, and carrying them onto the ship.

These weapons alone are enough to raze a city to the ground.

Lin Qingye finally saw the army that Huang Fei was talking about.

I saw tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xia Army lining up in a long queue that could not be seen, and boarding warships in an orderly manner.

He had been in Jeju Island for a long time, and he didn't even know that there was such a huge army hidden here.
