Win the Ding 1617

Moving southward quickly from the east coast of North Korea is the Lin Wenbing fleet all the way south from Kuyi Island.

The sailors who have been trapped by ice and snow for a whole winter on Kuyi Island, apart from hunting birds and beasts on the snow for snacks and military training, their biggest activity is to travel hundreds of miles to send the Patriarch of the Matsumae Clan, Mr. The retainer Murakami Sabuzaemon pulled out the temporary settlement set up on Kui Island, and sent dozens of samurai, ashigaru, etc. sent by the Matsumae Domain to the frozen sea.

After finally waiting for the sea ice in the port to thaw, the sailors cheered and under Lin Wenbing's order, inspected the ship, hoisted the sails, and headed south.

I don't want to meet my family between North Korea and Tsushima.For a moment, cheers overwhelmed the sound of wind and waves on the sea.

On Marado Island across the sea from Seogwipo, two fleets are stationed here.

Lin Wenbing jumped onto the land and rushed towards Li Peiting, "Boss shopkeeper! I miss you so much!"

"Uncle Lin!"

"Hello, Uncle Lin!"

Hua Mei led her younger brother Hua Yu to salute this elder who had stayed in the bitter cold of the extreme north for a whole winter. [

"Although it's a bit of a pain, it's worth it!"

On the small Maruo Island, the three fleets sealed off the narrow sea tightly, and the flags of the big bright sun and the moon and the flag of Li Zishuai fluttered on the mast and on the island.The exiled prisoners and natives on the island looked across the sea to this side, wondering why this huge navy came.There were also some courageous residents paddling their boats towards the convoy, and saw the characters of the Great Ming Southern Central Army on the bow and the armor flags on the soldiers.Instead of crying like rain, turning the bow of the boat upside down and cheering all the way.

Everyone ignored these for the time being, but set up a temporary location in a narrow temple on the island, and used it as a unified command of the three fleets.

"Wen Bing, just talk about it, how have you gained in the past six months?!"

Li Peiting really wanted to know what his capable subordinate had done and gained in the north this whole winter.

Lin Wenbing didn't answer, and ordered someone to fetch a huge cloth bag from his boat.Take handfuls of things out of the bag.presented in front of the public.

"Ginseng?!" Everyone looked at the ginseng that Lin Wenbing randomly put in the bag like weeds, and they couldn't help but marvel.

"The barbarians in the Heilongjiang area call this thing Auerhouda, which probably means the king of herbs. They use these things to exchange iron, weapons, grain, cloth, spirits, and salt with us." Lin Wenbing was very excited. Proudly showing off his achievements to everyone.

Several members of Lin Wenbing's fleet brought in a lot of roughly processed furs, sea dragon skins, and otter skins from outside one after another.Red Fox, Green Fox, Black Fox, Black Fox.There are so many different things.

Li Peiting, however, knows the goods. He picked out a piece of sea dragon skin from the pile of skins, looked at it carefully for a while, "Ah Bing, how much money did you pay for this skin?"

Everyone stared at Lin Wenbing in unison.See how he responds.Even Li Huayu just locked his dark eyes firmly on Lin Wenbing's face.

"Boss, you have another fifty sheets of leather in your hand, which can almost be exchanged for an iron pot." Lin Wenbing thought for a while.Slowly said the price that made everyone vomit blood.

Li Huamei has heard and seen all these years, and knows that most of her family's wealth comes from two sources.One is manufacturing and the other is trade.At that time, my father exchanged refined salt for the first pot of gold, and it was only then that the Li family became prosperous today.I only know that there are huge profits in this trade, but I don't want to have such a huge profit.

Lin Wenbing wanted to show off, so he searched around, took a glass bottle used by Li Huayu from the side, and gently stuffed a corner of the leather inside. slipped into the bottle.The bottle, which was empty just now, was filled to the brim with a whole piece of porn.He gently pulled it with his hand, and in an instant, the leather slipped out of the bottle again.

He used such simple utensils and methods to demonstrate the quality of these furs to everyone. [

"Hey! This piece of leather, in the two capitals of the north and the south, I'm afraid it will sell for more than a thousand taels of silver?!" Li Peiting gave a very conscientious price.

"Boss Lin, these are all your boats?" Even Xu Huanshan, who was usually stiff and reticent, couldn't help asking at this time.

"The boat I'm on is mostly this stuff, and the other two boats have ginseng and raw gold. There are also some other things."

"Approximately how many?!"

"There are almost thousands of such leathers, and those that are worse than these are several times his. The total number of the worst leathers should be more than [-]."

"Hey! The food, cloth, knives, guns, bows, arrows, oil and salt you brought back have been exchanged for so many things. Even if you rob money, they are not so powerful!"

Li Peiting gave a heartfelt admiration.

"It's not robbery, it's because they cried and shouted, and called us benevolent and not greedy for money." Lin Wenbing replied solemnly.

It was later proved that the profits brought by the trade to the Heilongjiang River Basin cannot be described as amazing.

Shou Han looked at the financial statement sent by Long Shengxing, and shouted loudly, "I'm rich!"

Lin Wenbing's three shipments of fur, ginseng, raw gold, etc. were quietly disposed of by Long Shengxing in the Second Capital of the North and South, and a huge amount was exchanged for the Nanzhong Army and Li Shouhan.

What is the number?Others don't know, but it can be measured from many phenomena.

When Lin Wenbing's fleet returned to Hue, Li Shouhan went to the pier to pick it up.This is unprecedented.

Soon after returning, several huge ships began to be built.

When the autumn wind blows, the size and number of trading fleets to Kuyi Island, Temple Street, Heilongjiang and other places have expanded several times.

Since then, the fur trade in Heilongjiang and even in the farther north has become a pillar industry that flourished in Longjiang.Shou Han specially ordered that [-]% of this income be used for naval construction of warships!

From this we can measure how huge the profit of this trade is.

"If in another era, such goods were exchanged for such precious furs, I'm afraid I would be arrested immediately for fraud!" While inspecting Longsheng's goods traded to Heilongjiang, Shouhan held a mouthful of iron from the bottom of his heart. Pot sighed.

This is a later story, press the table.

The group sighed a lot, and were about to discuss how to capture Tamra Island, when a navy officer and soldier came to report.

"My lord, there are Jizhou Mu on the island leading the magistrates of Dajing and Jingyi counties." A sentry officer of the Xuanwu camp reported the latest situation to Xu Huanshan.

"What is he doing here?"

"He led the two county magistrates on the island, leading pigs and sheep, and carrying wine and meat. He claimed that it was Lao Jun who came!"

"Could it be?" Several people in the room who were originally harboring ulterior motives looked at each other, and suddenly Li Peiting, Lin Wenbing and others smiled secretly.

"This group of North Korean officials, I'm afraid they regard us as the mainland army who came to help!"

Sure enough, when several local officials on Tamna Island led their subordinates to Maruo Island, they couldn't help but smile when they saw those soldiers of the South China Army in red fat jackets, helmets and armour, each holding knives and guns. Tears, murmuring to himself.

"Officials from Xiaguo Xiaobang met their parents!"

For a moment, he even forgot how to ask Xu Huanshan and others about their official titles, so Jizhou Mu had no choice but to call the general in front of him and the subordinate officials around him indiscriminately.

"I don't know that my lord led Huben's division to come to Xiaguo Xiaobang to rescue in distress. Greeting is late, I hope to beg for atonement!"

With the experience of the Imjin Japanese Invasion, not long ago, when Huang Taiji organized 12 Jian slaves to invade North Korea.North Korea, from the royal family to the people, has always held the belief that the Ming Dynasty is waiting for salvation.Even intending to destroy the country did not surrender to the Manchus. "I only hope that my parents will come to save me." "In the battle of Renchen, the Weitian Dynasty could not restore the country. So far, the monarchs and ministers have protected each other and not been fishes. Whose power is it? Although it is unfortunate and the catastrophe is imminent, it is still necessary to die. Otherwise, what will happen? Is there any resignation for future generations in the world?"

They would rather perish than betray China. The important reason is that they cannot face "the future generations of the world".Behind all these motivations are huge ethical decisions and value judgments.North Korea "would rather be too big a country (referring to the Manchu Qing Dynasty) than lose to the Emperor Ming" ("Records of Injo's Records" Xinhai, the first month of the 15th year).After being defeated and forced to surrender, even though he was "in the camp and his heart is in Han", the king of Joseon was still under heavy pressure on his moral self-discipline. "Yichou on the first day of the first lunar month. Set up a seat in the palace and cry westward to the Central Plains. It is the emperor's Ming."

This is over the years.The reason why North Korea regards China as its parents is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.However, China also has great kindness and righteousness to North Korea. The campaign to conquer North Korea cost millions of military pay and lost more than [-] soldiers, but it demands every inch of North Korea.Therefore, for hundreds of years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has been using the reign name of Chongzhen in China. This year name should be the longest in use, and it lasted for hundreds of years.

It's a pity that times have changed. Looking at the Korean Peninsula today, a son said that this is mine and that is mine.Another son said, Here is mine, there is mine.

Pulling away, let's go back to the current lens!

Chongzhen heard that the Qing army invaded North Korea, and the vassal state was in danger of overthrowing, so he urgently ordered Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, to dispatch the boat divisions of various towns to help.Today, among the various vassal states, Siam, Burma, Annan, Nanzhang and other countries have not paid tribute for a long time, and the outcome is very clear to the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, but due to the face of those silver dollars and japonica rice, it is difficult to break through.Once North Korea is lost, the majestic Ming Dynasty will have no vassals to show.

However, when Chen Hongfan's officers and soldiers went to sea, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, lost his vassal state, Jianghua was broken, and North Korea had surrendered.For this reason, Chongzhen issued an imperial edict to take full responsibility because his ancestors could not help him.

However, these domestic affairs in Ming Dynasty are beyond the knowledge of the officials on Tamra Island hanging in the sea in front of them.

It is also because of the isolation in the sea, compared with the land on the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers in North Korea, Tamna Island has not suffered too much war damage.After the army landed on Tamna Island at the kind invitation of the county magistrates of Jeju Mu, Dajing, and Jingui, they found that the scene here was still stable. Compared with the tragic situation after washing with water, it is simply a paradise on earth.

Li Huayu blinked his big black eyes and looked at the island in front of him curiously.

From the city walls to the clothing and language of officials and gentry, it almost makes people think that they are in a certain city in the interior.

As the army marched towards Jeju, Koreans on the island continued to kneel by the roadside.He kept kowtowing to the marching team, chanting words in his mouth.There are even some characters such as old people and Qiyue, who hastily set up incense tables, with incense burners on their heads, and knelt by the roadside to welcome the master Wang who came from the celestial dynasty.

Under the leadership of pro-Ming officials headed by Jeju Mu, Xu Huanshan quickly completed the military occupation of all key points of Tamna Island.In addition, four brigantine gunboats were dispatched to patrol around the island, cutting off all ties between Tamna Island and North Korea, and prohibiting ships from going to sea.

Thousands of people stationed in the military camps and temples in the two counties of Jeju City, Dajing and Jingyi.Xu Huanshan ordered people to distribute food money for each battalion and sentry, and asked the battalion secretary to take these white flowers and yellow things to buy fresh vegetables, meat, citrus and other fruits all over the island, to supplement the soldiers who sailed long distances. physical strength.

These deeds immediately moved the magistrates of Jizhou Mu, Dajing County, and Jingyi County greatly. After all, this is the king's teacher from the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty!The public buys and sells, and does not take anything from the people.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of this group of soldiers, there is really nothing on this island that is worth breaking military discipline to loot, as long as they can be bought with money.There is no need to take the risk of violating military discipline to rob.

"I would like to ask the three adults to help our army purchase a batch of horses on the island. Our army sailed from a long distance and did not carry many horses."

Xu Huanshan ordered someone to take out a plate of silver dollars.Sent to three North Korean officials.

"A small gift. It's not a respect. It's the right to treat the hard-working money of the three of you. Our army will pay the owner of the horse for the price of purchasing the horse."

When did Jeju Mu, Dajing County, and Jingyi County see the Ming army being so polite?Take out a whole plate of silver dollars as a gift?Swallowing saliva hastily, saying "sincerity and fear" in his mouth, he took the plate containing the silver dollars, and led the officials of the South Central Army to various horse breeding homes with the officials. Purchase horses.

On this Tamna Island, it is said that there are every household with mules and horses.Seeing that the army of the Celestial Dynasty was willing to buy horses at the price of silver dollars, many horse breeders brought out the horses they raised in their homes, trying to exchange them for the white silver dollars in the hands of the Nanzhong Army.

Apart from oranges and horses, there are three other things on this island, namely, rocks, wind, and women.The previous two sections talked about the natural environment of Tamna Island, because it is an island formed by volcanic eruption.Naturally, there are many rocks and strong wind.The reason for the large number of women is that in addition to raising horses, the residents on the island mainly go fishing. With the shipbuilding technology and fishing methods of North Korea at that time, men went fishing, and the death rate was very high. There are more women than men.But the main reason is that life is difficult, and women have to work with men, which makes women look more.

Watching those women who went into the sea without tools to catch abalone, shellfish, seaweed, etc., surfaced from the sea, the sights on their bodies are clearly visible, sailors and soldiers who have been on the sea for more than ten days, and even have not known the taste of meat for several months can't help but The index finger moved.Under Sister Lang Youqing's deliberate and half-hearted consent, it is inevitable that many people formed short-term dewy marriages to solve their respective physical problems.

Such a big movement naturally made the whole Tamna Island jump up and down, oh no, it was very lively.Naturally, a person on the island was alarmed.

In a somewhat dilapidated courtyard on the island, a blind middle-aged man was sitting on the steps of the courtyard, basking in the sun, smelling the scent of rape blossoms wafting in from outside the courtyard, singing in a low voice.

"The scent of this flower is weaker than the previous few days, I'm afraid it will bloom soon,"

The servant next to him answered him with some sadness: "My lord, April will be over soon, and the rapeseed flowers on this island will naturally be thankful."

"Don't call me the king, I'm not the king of Joseon anymore, I'm just the blind Gwanghae-kun."

Guanghai Jun Li Hun tried his best to feel the brightness of the sun in his withered eyes.

At this time, a person rushed in from the door.

"My lord! My lord! Great joy!"

"Like I said, I'm no longer the King of Joseon, I'm just the blind Lord Gwanghae. What's the happy event?!"

"Report to the great king!" The man was Guang Haijun's confidant, and he still persistently called him the king. "Da Ming, Daming's army has already landed on the island! Right now, a commander's mansion has been set up in Jeju City, and the army is stationed in various temple barracks inside and outside the city!"

"Your Majesty is the Great King of Korea appointed by Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty in person. The one who is currently in the capital is nothing more than a traitor who usurped the throne! How can he be king?" Another servant also shouted with joy.

"Could it be that?"

A line of tears flowed from Guanghai Jun Li Hun's eyes.

Finally, the day came when the Emperor Daming upheld justice for me!

However, what he didn't know was that at this time, in the temporarily converted commander's mansion from the Jeju Pastoral Office, among the five leading figures of the South China Army who arrived on Tamna Island this time, his status was actually like this.

"Mr. Guanghai, from the point of view of a certain family, this rare commodity can be lived in!"

Li Peiting made an opening paragraph for his words.

His words immediately attracted Li Huayu who was traveling so far for the first time.

"Uncle, isn't this what Lu Buwei said to win the stranger? How come it is also used on this Lord Guanghai?!"

And Xu Huanshan on the side put down the ruler and charcoal pencil in his hand, "Master Li, Miss, Young Master, Master Lin. Now we have landed on the island and actually controlled the island, but what should we do now? Can we justifiably occupy this island?!"

After many years of ups and downs in the business world, Li Peiting, who has completely become an old fritter with insight into human nature, smiled and asked Xu Huanshan with his legs crossed, "When will the fleet you send to Hong Kong Island, Baoan County, be able to set off?"

"It's only two thousand miles away from Hong Kong Island, and the twenty or so lucky boats will go to sea in the next day. Even if the south wind is prevailing, it will only take five or six days to arrive at Hong Kong Island and load the supplies you mentioned. You can return in a month."

"Tiger." Li Peiting called Xu Huanshan's nickname, "I bet you this shop, I bet that as long as you follow my method, at least one month later, the king of Joseon will definitely give this Tamna Island with both hands! "

"Uncle, why do you say that?"

"My youngest, you can just go to the theater. Please have dinner first, and after dinner, let's visit that Mr. Guanghai together!"
