Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 561 Shipbuilding
An Shougui followed Pang Ju, standing by the sea and looking at the densely packed Silla prisoners of war, who were building a log pier on the shore. He looked at Pang Ju, the overseer holding a telescope in front of him, and was full of doubts about the mind of this Great Tang general.

An Shou Kyu's mood has been like a roller coaster recently, at first he thought he was going to die.

The Tang army was very strict with the rebellious vassal state. It was thought that a massacre was inevitable, but the Tang army did not kill a single prisoner of war.

It was fine if they were not killed, and there were even doctors accompanying the army to treat the wounded captives, and they also had a lot of meals three times a day, even richer than what the Silla army ate.

But this feeling of rejoicing didn't last for a day, and a group of prisoners who knew Chinese and Silla, including An Shougui, were taken away and detained alone in Dahang City.

Next, Pang Ju read to An Shougui and other translators his opinions on the treatment of prisoners of war, that is, let these prisoners of war go to the sea to build a dock.

The following days were not easy. It was not an easy task to build a dock in the cold wind and half soaked in the cold sea water. Many soldiers fell ill on the first day, but Tang Jun still insisted on letting the Silla people go. Building, even if the sick eat some soup, they must be driven to the forest to cut down trees.

These translators of An Shougui do not need to work, they only need to follow the officers of Datang to inspect the construction site every day, and over time An Shougui felt the hatred of his compatriots.

Strange to say, ordinary Silla soldiers didn't hate the Tang people who were the instigators so much, but they were full of resentment towards An Shougui's translators.

An Shougui also often feels ashamed of his compatriots, but he also feels that his body cannot work on the construction site, so when he patrols the construction site on weekdays, he can only lower his head and cover his face with a turban.

However, there are those who feel ashamed like An Shougui, and there are also many translators who have turned into players' dogs.

These guys assist the translation of the player's supervisor, and treat their compatriots even harder than the player.

As long as there are Silla people on the construction site who stop working and gather together, these dog legs will rush to drive them away with whips.

If someone curses Datang, they will report to the player as soon as possible.

An Shougui watched Jin Zai pass by carrying a log, An Shougui showed a guilty look.

Jin Zai also knew Chinese, but he refused to be an interpreter for Datang, and volunteered to do hard labor on the construction site.

An Shougui didn't dare to meet Jin Zai's eyes, and lowered his head to let the other party pass by. Pang Ju saw this scene.

After climbing a mound, Pang Ju said to An Shougui:
"An Shougui, you Silla are building a city on the Yajiang River. This matter of joining the army has already been reported to Wang Jiedushi!"

An Shougui's face was pale. He built a city on the edge of the Yalu River and even took the initiative to attack the Tang army. This is already a serious provocation to Datang.

I have two thousand elites, but my father has devoted countless efforts to build a new army.

But even such a new army is helpless in front of the three hundred elites of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, An Shougui became frightened, he knelt down in front of Pang Ju and shouted:
"Join the army, spare your life! The building of the city and the order to attack the Tang army were all done by me, An Shougui, please join the army and kill me!"

An Shougui kowtowed to Pang Ju, but Pang Ju said without changing his expression:
"You, a small country like Silla, dare to offend Tang Tianwei. If Wang Jiedu hadn't ordered me to wait here to build a port, I would definitely go to Jincheng to arrest your Silla king for questioning!"

An Shougui hurriedly continued to kowtow, but he had also read the book and heard the voice of Pang Ju's words.

An Shougui quickly said: "Pang Canjun has been ordered by the Jiedu envoy to build a port in Dahang City. We Silla people are willing to atone for our sins!"

Seeing An Shougui being so upbeat, Pang Ju softened his tone and asked many questions: "How to atone for sin?"

An Shougui immediately said: "I am willing to recruit Silla civilians to build a port for Datang!"

Pang Ju asked with satisfaction: "How can you make Silla people willing to come here to build a port?"

An Shougui quickly said: "My father is the prime minister of Silla and the ruling court of the Northern Province. If I declare my interests to my father, my father will definitely mobilize civilians to build the port for Datang!"

Pang Ju looked at An Shougui, but he didn't expect this guy to be a big fish.

"How long do you need?"

An Shougui thought for a while and said: "I have two provinces in Silla, the north and the south. The king lives in the south province, and my father is stationed in Pingcheng for the north province."

Pang Ju nodded. During these days, he also studied some information about Silla.

After annexing Baekje and Goguryeo, Silla unified the peninsula.

However, the situation on the peninsula is complicated, and the ethnic conflicts are also very large. The king of Silla lived in Jincheng (now Gyeongju) and governed the original land of Silla.

At the same time, King Silla set up another court team in Pingcheng (Pyongyang) to manage the affairs of North Province.

The northern part of the peninsula is more mountainous and colder than the southern part. There are remnants of Goguryeo and other Hu people who fled to the peninsula in the mountains and forests. Most Silla officials regard being an official in the North Province as a distribution frontier.

In addition to the inconvenient transportation, Pingcheng is often closed due to heavy snow, so the king of Silla simply set up a court team in the North Province, which is the same as that in the South Province. He will send a prince to supervise the country in the North Province, and then appoint a ruler in the North Province Assisted the prince, and handed over the affairs of the Northern Dao to the small court of the Northern Dao in Pingcheng.

The people of Silla called the court in Jinseong the Namban, and the court in the North Province the Beiban.

However, after the current king of Silla, Jin Xianying, succeeded to the throne, he no longer sent princes to Beido to supervise the country, but let his own son take the name of the country from afar, and only appointed a "governor" to coordinate the overall situation in Beido.

Unexpectedly, this An Shougui was the son of An Xiyu, who was in charge of the Northern Province, and Pang Ju didn't expect that he caught a big fish with a random net.

Pang Ju asked: "I joined the army and asked you to return to Pingcheng. When will you bring the civilian husband?"

An Shougui said: "It takes a month to go to and from Pingcheng, and after a month, I will definitely bring a civilian husband to join the army!"

Pang Ju shook his head and said, "It's too slow!"

An Shougui was sweating anxiously, and he said in a crying voice: "But the North Road has many mountains and narrow roads, it really takes such a long time to go back and forth!"

Pang Ju took out a map at this time, which is a detailed map of the peninsula.

After seeing this map, An Shougui gasped.

This is a detailed map of the peninsula, so detailed that even the mountains, rivers and lakes are marked.

An Shougui had never seen such a detailed map in Jincheng's royal library!

At all times and in all over the world, maps are very important strategic items.

Even in today's modern age where satellites are flying all over the sky, illegal surveying and mapping is still a criminal offense.

Datang mastered such a detailed map of the peninsula, it is ridiculous that his father even let himself build a city by the Yalu River!Little did they know that Datang already had a detailed map of the peninsula, and knew the situation in Silla well!

An Shougui thought of his behavior as a clown, and strengthened his belief that he should not be an enemy of Datang!

You must persuade your father to provide labor for Datang!At all costs to appease Datang's anger!

Pang Ju pointed to the map and said, "This is Dahang City."

Then Pang Ju pointed to a red dot and said, "This is Pingcheng, right?"

An Shougui nodded.

Pang Ju said again: "I remember that Nanpu is also the mouth of the sea, less than a hundred miles away from Pingcheng, right?"

An Shougui was even more terrified. He didn't expect that Pang Ju even knew Nanpu.

Nanpu is a port not far from Pingcheng. The Datong River flowing through Pingcheng enters the sea in Nanpu. This is a place naturally suitable for building a port.

After An Shougui's father took office in Beiban, he ordered the construction of a wharf in Nampo.

Except for Pingcheng, ordinary Silla people don't know about the fact that Nampo is building a pier.

All the soldiers who joined the Pinglu Jiedu Mansion knew about it. It can be seen how much the Tang Dynasty knew about Silla!

An Shougui trembled. He didn't know that there was a port in Nampo, but Pang Ju found out about it. This was the largest port in the Northern Dynasties in later generations, and it was also a good natural port. Therefore, Pang Ju thought that it could be navigated by ships, so he asked An Shougui.

Unexpectedly, the construction of Nanpu Port had already started, and Pang Ju immediately became excited.

He said to An Shougui: "In this case, you should take a boat to Nanpu, and then use the boat to transport the civilian husband to Dahang City."

"Calculating the time, [-] days will be enough to come and go. The dock should have been repaired by then, and it happens that a lot of manpower is needed to repair the dock."

An Shougui quickly said: "But we don't have so many boats in Silla North Province. It takes a lot of boats to transport the peasants to Dahang City."

An Shougui is right. Although Silla people are also good at building ships, Silla's ports are basically in the south, and there are not many ships near Pingcheng.

Unexpectedly, Pang Ju said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it. After you organize the folks and wait at Nanpu Port, there will naturally be a boat to send you to Dahang City!"

Pang Ju said again: "It would be even better if there are carpenters and shipbuilders. Our Datang paid a lot of money to invite them to come here! The treatment is good!"

An Shougui wrote down Pang Ju's words, but he looked around and said, "Pang Canjun, but how do I get to Nanpu Port? There are no ships in our Dahang City?"

Pang Ju smiled mysteriously, and said to the sea: "There will be a boat soon."

At this time, in the dock that has not yet been built, a player is arguing with the shipbuilder of Datang about something.

"Impossible! It's impossible for this kind of boat to float!"

The old shipbuilder's surname is Pan, who was lured by Pang Ju in Andong City with a lot of money. When he was young, he used to be a master craftsman in the shipyard of the government's Shipbuilding Department, and he was an experienced shipbuilder.

The player arguing with him took a blueprint and said, "My design can definitely make the fastest sailboat in Bohai Sea!"
