Villager of Daming

Chapter 1295 The news is wrong and the food is heavy

After dinner, everyone took a rest and didn’t go for a stroll by the river. There were a lot of mosquitoes now. It was the last time and unlike the northern regions, the weather was cold and the mosquitoes were not a big deal.

In Qiongzhou, there are mosquitoes every day, and they fly without making any sound. People only start to kill mosquitoes when they are bitten and feel itchy and painful.

What’s even more terrifying is that after being bitten by mosquitoes in Qiongzhou, you cannot scratch it, because if you do, the bite will take a long time to heal.

Some people go there for the first time, and after getting stung, they just scratch themselves and go to the beach to play. When the bitten place touches the sea water, a black spot with a diameter of one centimeter will be left.

The key is that this black spot cannot fade away even after several years, and it will leave psychological trauma for people who love beauty.

You need to prepare Fengyoujing. When you are bitten by a mosquito, apply Fengyoujing. It is more effective than any other medicine. You can also buy some anti-mosquito bite medicine to spray, and mosquitoes will stay away from you.

Everyone found a place to sleep, and the head of the village came to the ancestral hall. Today, Hanhan was guarding the ancestral hall. He simply cleaned it up and started preparing for the barbecue.

The village head was listening to Hanhan talking and writing quickly, so Hanhan didn't need to write first and then copy.

Zhu Wentian didn't have much to say, and he finished in less than half an hour. The village chief shook his wrist and panted: "Can we take over Gaoli before the New Year this year?"

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He guessed what the head of the village was going to do and shook his head: "Let's not talk about this during the ancestor worship this year. It's easy to control Kaifeng, but it will take time to occupy the entire peninsula.

Goryeo had its troops on the border of the Ming Dynasty, which was some distance away from Beijing, so they had to use a strategy.

While there are no outsiders involved, we will completely transform the peninsula. Eat!"

Zhu Wentian handed over the skewers of meat. He liked eating skewers of meat. They were better than braised ones and better than boiled ones with water and then dipped in sauce.

"Ah~!" The village head took the skewer and said: "We in Xiaqiu Village used to be peaceful people, but now we are starting to fight for the world.

You say this person is really weird. When we were plotting against Goryeo, he never felt that there was anything wrong. We were robbing their land!
Just like our village is small, and we occupy other people’s villages, and when we occupy other people’s land, they will have no land left.”

The head of the village began to sigh, comparing the country's affairs with those of the village. He found that he quite liked being in charge of such things.

Seeing that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was expanding, it was as if he had bought more land, except that he had bought it, not robbed it.

Zhu Wentian took a big sip of beer and said, "In fact, no matter where the people are from, they don't care about these things, unless the newcomers bully them and make them lose their previous interests.

Those who really care about this kind of benefit are those who can win over some people to listen to them, and they can gain additional benefits from those who are won over.

Usually this interest refers to survival resources, such as food, salt, or mating rights, regardless of whether men or women are in power.

So we don’t need to care what other people in power think. All we have to do is not bully their people and turn their people into our people.

Village head! The greatest characteristic of our nation is not its ability to fight, but its ability to turn others into its own people. This is called integration.

We are not xenophobic. The original Central Plains was only as big as Henan. How big is the Ming Dynasty now?

During the Yuan Dynasty, they were too warlike. They did not consider the country's economic situation and kept fighting. When natural disasters occurred, man-made disasters were bound to occur.

We are helping the Koreans, and by then they will become a nation of our Ming Dynasty, the Korean people."

Zhu Wentian explained to the head of the village patiently, fearing that he was mistaken. This was different from the village stealing other people's land.

Those who grab land are actually the lowest class in this society, and their only interest is to eat.

To rob Goryeo was not to rob the people of their jobs, but to rob the jobs of the upper class in Goryeo, and they were the ones who really opposed it.

Of course, some races are beasts in their souls, and they don't need to be integrated. There are also some people whose skin color is like night. He thinks that if they are integrated, everyone's color will become the same in the end, which is not good.

The same goes for those who treat scriptures as history. They are bad and can never change. Don't expect them to be grateful. What they like to do most is to massacre their benefactors.

Zhu Wentian kept talking and talking, and he talked the village head to sleep.

He did not send the headman back to rest. Instead, he took out a set of bedding that had been hung out to dry, put the headman on it, lit some calming incense, and at the same time drove away mosquitoes.

……

At daybreak, the village chief was drinking medicine to calm his nerves. He was awakened by the crowing of a rooster in the early morning.

"Last night I dreamed that my ancestors came to me and asked me to go down and have a good talk with them. Then you showed up and said it was not possible because you were doing a good job as the village head and couldn't find anyone to take over. Then, as soon as the rooster crowed, they left."

The village head said this to Zhu Wentian, and then continued to gulp down the medicine.

"Do you really think that the crowing of a rooster can scare away ghosts? You were dreaming, and you were suddenly awakened by the crowing of a rooster while sleeping.

At this time, no matter you are in deep sleep or light sleep, you can recall things in your dream.

You stared at those tablets before going to bed last night and scared yourself. Don't be afraid!"

Zhu Wentian felt helpless. He should have moved back with the village head yesterday.

After waiting for the sun to rise higher, someone called them to eat, and then the two of them went out. Zhu Wentian did not attend breakfast today, as he accompanied the village head to his home.

When we arrived, breakfast was not served yet and everyone was waiting, and it was buffet style.

Zhu Yuanzhang and some other important people sat there waiting, with no intention of eating.

The head of the village understood. He wiped his sweat off his forehead and took out the notebook he had written last night: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"Okay! Give it to us!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for the headman to say anything. He reached out and grabbed the question book, and quickly opened it to read.

He needs someone to give him an idea, and then he can consider whether there is anything inappropriate.

After a moment, he handed the question book to Xu Da: "We need food! Well! In order to stabilize the situation, we can take out some food so that we can grow crops there in the future. Their seeds are not good enough, and there are not many livestock..."

Zhu Yuanzhang told everyone that he would first mobilize the army, with the main force directly crossing the sea to the other side, and then raid at night to occupy Kaifeng.

Before that, we should invite the generals of Goryeo who are guarding the land border to attend the banquet, and then detain them. If it is difficult to detain them by force, we can send medicine to them.

At the rate at which news spread, people in other parts of Goryeo didn’t even know about Wang Zhuan’s death!
If the Ming Dynasty's spies had not bribed enough people and had not had a telegraph, the Ming Dynasty would have had to wait at least two months to know the situation.

The Goryeo upper echelons wanted to conceal the situation from the generals outside and from the officials in other cities.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which was not in harmony with the emperor in reality. Even the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the Jurchens had to be kept secret and only told when the situation stabilized.

Since the Goryeo upper echelons wanted to keep it secret, it was a good opportunity for a large army to go there so that others would not know that the Ming army would control Kaesong.

Once Kaifeng is sealed and the coastline is guarded, the Ming Dynasty can send people and goods there continuously.

The most important thing among them was food, food for the people of Goryeo.

If the people have food to eat, they will live in peace. If any army from Goryeo wants to fight, they will be given benefits and promises.
