Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 301 Beating
The second day of the first month of the 27th year of Wanli, January 1599, 1 AD.

It was the time of North Korea's bitter cold, snow and skin cracking, and the coldness of the midwinter had not yet passed, and there were mud everywhere, making walking difficult.However, at this time, in Busan Port of North Korea, there was a dense crowd of people, a busy scene in full swing.The Ming officers and soldiers in leather and iron armor, the Koreans in white clothes, and the small Japanese captives were all coming and going, busy all the time.

Busan Port is the best place to start when conquering the sun. After countless people working day and night, there are already thousands of warships parked in Busan Port. , but stopped in the port of Busan.

Conquering Japan is a huge project. To transport tens of thousands of people to Japan, at least a thousand warships are needed. In order to collect these warships, not to mention North Korea, even the civilian ships in Shandong, Liaodong and other places in the Ming Dynasty were all collected.As for the transportation of related materials, it is impossible to come here without one or two thousand.

At this time, Ming Dynasty demonstrated its huge national power. In the past few months since October, because the soldiers of North Korea's Eastern Expedition were in urgent need of food and payment, they urgently transported 24 stone grains from Shandong, Tianjin, and Liaodong to China. North Korea, most of which are transported by water from Shandong and Tianjin.Later, there will be a steady stream of grain and grass from the sea.

These grains and grasses fully met Huang Laifu's demand for conquering Japan. In order to unload and transport these grains and grasses, Huang Laifu ordered the king of Korea, Li Yan, to mobilize the people in southern Korea, and finally mobilized tens of thousands of civilians. Huang Laifu's own soldiers were used to fight Yes, but not for porters.However, because Huang Laifu provided enough food for these North Korean peasant husbands, and each of them was paid five yuan a day, the local people rushed to come here, and being able to enter Busan Port to work was the greatest expectation of many people.

After several years of war, North Korea was full of hunger, and being able to eat enough was already the greatest satisfaction for many people, not to mention five Wen per person per day. Ming coins are a hard currency in North Korea, five Wen per day Money is not bad for those North Koreans.Huang Laifu's arrangement made the local Koreans quickly spread his reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday were New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in Ming and North Korea. Huang Laifu ordered a two-day holiday for everyone, including the Ming and North Korean troops, Korean civilians, and Japanese prisoners.

The logistics camp distributed a large amount of grain, rice, wine and meat.Everyone in the Ming Dynasty can eat and drink as much as they want, and the firecrackers are exploding, which is full of festive flavor.

Compared with the lack of clothing, food, ordnance and bows and arrows of the soldiers who quelled the chaos in the Ningxia War a few years ago, in the Korean War, it can be said that there were enough soldiers and food, because this is going abroad to fight, which is related to the face of the suzerain country. Whether it is Wanli Whether it's the emperor, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, or Huang Laifu, it's all about saving face!
In front of the vassal state, one must never lose face, this is the knowledge of all parties!

Not to mention that Huang Laifu sold the Eastern Expedition bonds this time, and prepared 400 million taels of silver, which was enough to cover all expenses during the Eastern Expedition.

Therefore, from the first Korean War to the current second Korean War, there has never been a shortage of food, grass and military equipment for the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers who went to war!Not only that, because they are going on an expedition, so in addition to the usual military salary, there are also food, payment, and rewards from the court, etc. Adding up all kinds of things, every ordinary Ming soldier has at least two or three taels of silver every month The military pay enters.

With enough food and drink every day, and so much money, even ordinary Ming soldiers in North Korea are wealthy, sir.Countless Korean women, just for a few pennies or a piece of miscellaneous biscuit food, would not hesitate to serve them with their bodies. Many Ming soldiers each had a fixed number of female gunners.Regarding this situation, Huang Laifu turned a blind eye to it, and only told the doctors in the army to pay attention to the situation at all times to prevent the soldiers from getting sexually transmitted diseases.

On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty ate, drank and had fun to relax.It stands to reason that the officers and soldiers of North Korea paid for their own food and salaries, but they thought that soon they would go to Japan with the Ming army, so Huang Laifu also sent people to send some food, rice, wine and meat during the Chinese New Year.And the tens of thousands of North Korean civilian husbands were organized into hundreds of teams. During the two days of the Chinese New Year, each hundred team was also given some food and drink, which made them all very grateful.A cheering and thankful death beat.

There were more than [-] captives of the Japanese Second Army. During the two days of Chinese New Year, they were also given fine wine and meat, which made many Japanese sing and dance even more.

Since December, they have been moved to Busan Port to work as coolies, working from dawn to dusk every day, non-stop.It is undeniable that the Japanese are very hardworking and do heavy work every day without saying a word. However, since they can eat three meals a day, and Huang Laifu sent them winter clothes in winter, these Japanese prisoners feel that the current The day is a day of bliss.

In the past when they were stationed in North Korea, they were poor in food and clothing every day, and each meal was at most one rice ball. How can they eat well now when they are full and hungry?Because of Huang Laifu's order, Ming's guard soldiers did not abuse them, but often when they lined up to go out to work, many North Korean officers, soldiers and Korean people rushed up to beat and scold them. After several years of war, the Japanese and Koreans seemed to have deep hatred. Hai, it is normal for every Japanese prisoner to be beaten up as soon as he goes out.

In addition to hatred, there are many North Korean officers, soldiers and civilian husbands who, apart from beating and scolding, still have a sense of superiority as a victorious country. Although the Ming Dynasty is the main force in this war, it does not prevent many Koreans from thinking that they are also one of the victorious countries. The sense of superiority was even stronger in front of the Japanese captives.

Naturally, Huang Laifu had no interest in taking care of the beatings of the Japanese prisoners.He just ordered that when the North Koreans retaliate and beat them, they cannot kill or seriously injure these Japanese, because these Japanese prisoners will be of great use to him in the future.

However, although these Japanese prisoners are beaten every day, they have no complaints. The Japanese's perseverance and their awe of the strong are vividly reflected here. The change of identity, they changed very naturally.

……

After the Lunar New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, on the second day of the first lunar month, Busan Port resumed being busy.

Troop carriers and various material ships conscripted from North Korea and Ming Dynasty have gathered in several ports, especially Busan Port, where densely packed ships of all sizes are parked along the seashore.On the open sea outside the port, hundreds of warships from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were cruising in the Tsushima Strait day and night, issuing various flags from time to time far away, telling each other what was going on at sea. situation.

After the hard work of more than [-] Japanese captives, the current Busan Port wharf has been repaired wide and deep, and many large ships can berthed directly on the side of the wharf.Teams of Korean civilians and Japanese prisoners in white clothes carried all kinds of goods onto the ship, shouting loudly.

Starting from the port wharf, until dozens of miles away from the port, there are warehouses and warehouses stacked with materials everywhere, and around dozens of miles around Busan City, there are densely packed military camps everywhere. The [-] troops of Ming Dynasty and North Korea, The camps set up are boundless, and the banners are as black as dark clouds. Every camp is surrounded by high walls and deep moats, and is heavily guarded.

And the daily demand of a [-] army is an astronomical figure. Countless grain trucks are lined up in a long line of more than ten miles, sending supplies from Daming or North Korea into the barracks.Huge, busy and strict, is the appearance of an Eastern Expeditionary Army.

As the admiral of the Eastern Expedition, Huang Laifu naturally lived in the city of Busan, and his thousands of Shanxi town troops also lived in the city.At present, Huang Laifu is fully responsible for the affairs of Japan. The original Governor Xing Jie is now living in Wangjing and has become the logistics officer of the army.

The Eastern Expedition to Japan involved many things, many of which required Huang Laifu to personally decide. Therefore, these days, Huang Laifu led his own soldiers and generals to the port of Busan every day.

When he arrived at the port, Huang Laifu was satisfied when he saw the densely packed warships in the sea and the busy and orderly flow of people in front of him. According to this progress, the expedition to Japan on the fifth day of the lunar new year could still proceed as scheduled.

……

"Petie, I'll beat you to death!"

At this moment, Huang Laifu saw a commotion on the wharf ahead. Many Korean civilians in white were beating and kicking a few Japanese captives who resisted the shipment of grain and rice. A group of excited North Koreans watched from time to time Shouting cheers and cheering, while a group of Ming and North Korean officers and soldiers next to them watched lazily. This kind of situation can be seen every day, and there is nothing strange about it. It is perfectly normal for Koreans to beat Japanese. They will not care if they are beaten to death or seriously injured, and they violate the requirements of the admiral.

Now the reasons why the Koreans beat the Japanese are becoming more and more widespread. In addition to the hatred of the original war, the current Japanese captives have robbed some Korean civilian husbands of business, which is also a reason.The admiral of Shangguo graciously allowed many North Koreans to come to work. In addition to having enough food every day, they also had money to get. This made many North Koreans who could not survive flock to it.

However, since there are many Japanese captives working here every day, these people don’t need to spend money except to eat some every day. Naturally, Huang Laifu saved some money, so he tried to use Japanese captives to work in places where Japanese captives can work. captive.This naturally seized the quota of many Korean civilian husbands, and without these Japanese captives, the Shangguo army would need at least more than 1 Korean civilian husbands, so that many rural families who could not survive would come to work.

Now it's gone.These Korean civilian husbands did not dare to blame the admiral of Shangguo, so they naturally vented their anger on these Japanese prisoners.Every day, these Japanese are used as sandbags, and when they are interested, they rush over to punch and kick for a while, but for these things, not to mention the surrounding Ming army and Koreans, even the Japanese prisoners themselves are used to it. Outsiders, the rest who were not beaten still continued to work as if nothing had happened, and their emotions were stable!
