The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 210 The Calculation of Prince Yan's Mansion

"Zi Zi...Zi Zi."

In the dense forest, there was the sound of sawing wood, and two people were sawing a big tree with a saw.With an ugly half-bald hairstyle, in the cold weather, wearing only a thin cotton coat, his expression was extremely numb.

Behind them, the rest of the people were digging for tree roots, a job more tiring than felling trees.

On the other side of the mountain, the roots of the trees were dug out, leaving pits everywhere, and people leveled the land on it.

Day after day, year after year.

Outside Lao Tieshan, a short man with a semi-bald haircut, his hands and feet were weak from exhaustion, and it was finally time to eat and he could take a breather.

Golden State believes in them.

They are the ones who cook, and they are the ones who take care of them.

No one resisted. When he lost his male hormones, he immediately became timid, coupled with the semi-closed and unfamiliar environment of Jinzhou.

It made them even less courageous to escape. Where can they go in this unfamiliar land.

The basket that was carried was filled with sorghum rice.

Sorghum is a variant of sorghum, a traditional crop that has been gradually replaced by rice and barley with better taste and yield in China.

But in Liaodong, it is still planted in large quantities.

People rushed to eat, and after eating, the man stared ahead, only to see the mist and mist on the sea in the distance; a long wisp of smoke.

All around, the air is extremely crisp.

The first sun illuminated the peaks of the surrounding mountains, and gradually moved down, finally reflecting the sails of sand and water, and shining the river water.

The sun is getting thicker, the fog has cleared, and the golden waves on the water are brilliant.The reflection of the mountain swayed vividly in the water.

"What a place," the man murmured.

"Work work."

In the distance, the supervisor held a whip in his hand and shouted viciously, followed by a proud Han man.

When there are Han Chinese coming to the construction site, the supervisors will be particularly vicious.

"Doggie."

The man lowered his head, cursing inwardly, not daring to delay, hurriedly ran back to his work place, and cooperated with his companions to continue working.

The overseer had the same hairstyle as them. In order to protect their status and express their sincerity, they shaved their heads bald.

They use the most vicious attitude to treat people who come from the same place as them.

"Snapped."

The supervisor whipped his whip a few times, and looked fawningly at the Han man beside him, who ignored him and looked at the progress of the construction site.

Then, with a satisfied look, he patted the overseer on the shoulder. The overseer looked touched and said a few unskilled words loudly.

Shouting "loyalty" "loyalty".

China has princes and generals who have kindness, but Japan does not. Even in the 21st century, the concept of blood is still popular in China.

For various reasons, these slaves from Japan were extremely obedient to the strength of the Han people.

The supervisors selected from them are even more loyal, making the management of the forest farm very easy.

The stewards of the forest farm couldn't help being surprised.

How can there be such obedient and easy-to-use consumables, not only will they not resist when they are unfairly treated, but they will be staggeringly submissive.

They cannot accept this kind of atmosphere.

Even in the conquered Yuan Dynasty, the wind of resistance has never stopped. Even in the Han Dynasty, as long as there is something bad, it will also resist.

But these low-level people from Japan have suffered a lot of grievances, but they seem to have no bottom line, and they don't understand what resistance is at all.

Especially after using several methods, no one has escaped so far.

Wang Zhen, the director of the forest farm, helplessly guarded himself, and warned the people below not to be negligent, and not to let themselves relax because there were no escape cases.

At Laotieshan Cape, a lighthouse was built by the forest farm to provide navigation for ships.

Below the Laotieshan Lighthouse, there are steep and dangerous cliffs. The theoretical diagonal line between it and Penglai, Shandong is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

The tides of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea come from both sides of the cape and meet here, due to the movement of the submarine trench and the different water colors of the two seas.

The sea water of the Yellow Sea is bluer, and the sea water of the Bohai Sea is slightly yellow. Under the action of the two currents, a "distinct" current is formed, which is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

"The current number of forestry workers is 5000, 21, and there are more than [-] slave workers."

dim.

In the office, Wang Zhen wrote a report that would be sent to the headquarters. Since slave workers would die every month and new ones would come in every once in a while, Wang Zhen only wrote an approximate figure.

"More than 32 acres of land have been reclaimed. Among the forest farm workers, there are 76 boatmen and 120 apprentices. So far, [-] and three fishing boats have been produced."

"Build three ice cellars, two pickling and salting farms, one boiling salt farm, one horse breeding farm, and more than [-] sheep, [-] pigs, and [-] cows in the forest farm. Chickens, ducks and geese don't count."

"The biggest shortage in the forestry farm is cattle and large animals such as mules and donkeys. I hope the headquarters can support [-] cattle and [-] mules and donkeys. Experienced fishermen are also needed."

……

"A scholar named Li Xueyan came to Jinzhou the day before yesterday and wanted to come to Lushun, but was rejected by Commander Sun on the grounds that it was an important military location."

……

The headquarters of the forest farm is established in Lushun.

Jinzhou is a protruding piece in the south of Liaodong, and it is the most marginal area of ​​Liaodong Peninsula. The most mysterious thing is that there is only a narrow and long road connecting Jinzhou and Liaozuo.

After passing Jinzhou City and Nanguan, it is an open terrain.

There are plains for farming, abundant water, mountains for trees, and mines for ores.

As long as Jinzhou City and South Guam are under control, one man will be the gate, and ten thousand will not be opened. Protecting the rear area is really one of the best places, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rich in resources.

The ownership of such an important place is unknown, and it is in the hands of King Yan, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Juren Li Xueyan traveled from Daning to Liaodong.

According to Daning Liu Zhen's guidance, one of the most influential generals in Liaodong is the Guo family. As long as the Guo family is drawn in and supported by the Guo family, then King Yan's influence in Liaodong can be squeezed out.

In Liaodong there are Liao Wang, Han Wang, and Shen Wang.

They are the 21th, [-]th and [-]st sons of Zhu Yuanzhang.

The oldest king of Liao was only young, and he had not been in the domain for a long time. The other two princes were too young to be raised in the capital.

Historically, the latter two princes never became feudal vassals throughout their lives.

Li Xueyan found Zhou Xing of Guangning.

He has found the knack.

King Yan has great influence, because in Daning and Liaodong, many generals come from the Yanshan lineage and belong to the old subordinates of King Yan.

These people are counting on a lot, only the generals transferred from other places can try to win them over.

Daning Liu Zhen gave Li Xueyan a lot of help. Now that he came to Liaodong, he found Zhou Xing again.

Zhou Xing understood the local situation in Liaodong, and hit it off with Li Xueyan.

"The Guo family expects a lot." Zhou Xing told Li Xueyan firmly, and said, "The lady of the Guo family stayed in the palace for a few months, and Guo Qian even went to pay a visit to King Yan in person."

Li Xueyan didn't know much about the Guo family, because the Guo family was not a top family, so she asked wonderingly, "Didn't Guo Ying, the head of the Guo family, be transferred back to the capital a long time ago? Why does he still have such a big influence in Liaodong?"

"It's a long story, let's start with the military history."

"Appreciate further details."

Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, and sorted out his thoughts, "The foundation of King Yan comes from Xu Guogong's command."

"The foundation of the guards of Daning came from under the command of King Yan."

"Liaodong belongs to Shandong after all, not to Beiping, so King Yan's influence on Liaodong is not as good as that of Daning."

"The Guo family followed the sages early. At first, the guards were sages. Although they were trusted by the sages, they were weak in qualifications and did not have their own lineage. They were close to the lineage of Song Guogong and Ying Guogong."

Zhou Xing stopped talking in the middle of his speech.

Li Xueyan looked at Zhou Xing wonderingly.

Zhou Xing walked aside, picked up the kettle, poured a bowl of tea, then dipped his finger in the tea bowl, and wrote a blue word on the table.

"After this family was liquidated, the Liaodong side was also greatly affected. The Guo family family, which was not in the early days, stood up."

Zhou Xing was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

After a long time, he murmured: "There are many reasons in your guard."

Zhou Xing smiled casually, and said casually: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Our guard is more closed than the outside, and the roads in it are very deep."

"Doesn't that mean that the Guo family is one and the same in Liaodong?" Li Xueyan asked seriously.

"No way, the lintel of the Guo family can't hold up."

Zhou Xing waved his hand.

Not even the Duke of the state, how can he hold up the banner.

The Xu family has the largest hill, and the largest branch was inherited by King Yan, and the rest were also divided up.

Although the brothers of the Xu family controlled three of the five military governor's mansions, their name was greater than their reality, and their strength was far from being on the same level as they were back then.

Even so, the Xu family is still the top honor of Daming, and they must be respected three points wherever they go.

As for the rising star, the new leader of the army, Lan Yu, the faction in Lan Yu's army was cleaned up by the sage, and no one succeeded.

However, some forces were reduced to the Golden State in the name of exile, which should not be underestimated in Zhou Xing's view.

"Over there in Jinzhou, has Mr. Li understood?"

Li Xueyan shook her head.

"The commander of the Golden State Guard made me see it, but I didn't say much. As for Lushun, I stopped it from outside."

"Golden State used to belong to Liaodong Capital, and we can still find out. Since King Yan intervened, it has become mysterious."

"You think Jinzhou is dangerous?" Li Xueyan asked curiously.

Zhou Xing nodded, and pointed to the word "blue" that gradually dried up and disappeared.

"This one has great martial arts skills. It was the most powerful one a few years ago. It should never have fallen into the hands of King Yan."

"It means that the two strongest forces, the old and the new, have both fallen into the hands of King Yan. As long as there are so many talents, who can resist them?"

Li Xueyan had never thought of Zhou Xing's thinking angle, and looked at Zhou Xing in a daze, speechless for a while.

"What do you think should be done?"

Soon, Li Xueyan said in surprise.

Zhou Xing quickly said: "Zhuang De of the [-] Guards has elite soldiers and his heart is for the imperial court. It is worth Mr. Li's visit."

"I heard that there are fishing boats in Jinzhou, and there are people from the outer sea who don't know their origins. If you can find out this information and use it to impeach the Yan Palace, even if Jinzhou is separated from Yanwang, it can keep Liaodong stable."

Li Xueyan had a direction and finally smiled.
