Win the Ding 1617

"Is this the Great Tomorrow soldier who came to Tamra?"

Although he is a hard-core pro-Qing faction, he has long tied his wealth, honor and disgrace to the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Shenyang, but when his fleet approached Tamna Island, he saw those patrolling in the middle of the sea. Jin Zidian was still a little trembling when he was in the naval battleship. In addition to a little fear, it was also because of the reverence of the suzerain for many years and the suzerain country.

Those very sturdy gunboats had at least a dozen cannons of different sizes on each side of the ship. Looking at his small boat with the flag of Taijitu, Jin Zidian couldn't help feeling ashamed.

However, these patrolling sailors did not stop and make things difficult. Hearing that the king of Joseon sent someone to reward the army, they simply boarded the ship and checked, and found that they were all wine, meat, property, gold and silver, etc., so they waved their hands to indicate that they could pass. .

However, after landing, surprising things happened one after another.

On the road to Jeju City, all the groups passing by were Ming soldiers with helmets and armor, each holding weapons.Jin Zidian went to the governor's office in Denglai and the capital several times, and he knew the inside story of Daming very well.Soldiers who can wear full body armor or dark armor must be the personal soldiers of the generals.

"Master Yizheng, my subordinates have been in Jeju for many days, and all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty they saw were dressed in this way, and they didn't mean to show off in front of us."

The eyeliner who reported to Seoul told Jin Zidian what he had seen and heard in Jeju City.

After hearing this, Jin Zidian felt a chill in his heart.Since he landed, no North Korean official has ever been seen to greet him.Along the way, I saw at least a thousand Ming soldiers, all of whom were strong and capable.The face is rosy, and the skin is glowing with nutrition and oil.If these people are all servants of the commander-in-chief, then at least one of the generals who came here was the chief soldier. [

From time to time, there are residents on the island chasing the marching team with small baskets and selling food such as citrus and abalone to the soldiers of the Ming army. There are also some young Korean women standing with bare breasts outside the temporary temple turned into a military camp. A rice class master.

From time to time, horse owners took carefully selected horses to military camps outside the city to try to turn their horses into silver dollars.

A group of North Koreans put on the fat Ming-style jackets they had just received, and looked at each other carefully, as if they were crowned with monkeys.After teasing each other for a while, they looked at Jin Zidian's group with the eyes of a superior person looking at an inferior person, and didn't say much.Just head to the pier.

There, several more ships docked, and a large number of food materials, artillery, knives, guns, military uniforms, flags and other logistics were unloaded from the ships.

Daming is determined to win North Korea!

From the ship guns at sea, to the elite soldiers and horses on land, as well as the mobilization and requisition of horses on the island, and the recruitment of young Koreans on the island to join the army, the impact on Jin Zidian was relatively strong.There is only one possible answer.Daming's going to war like this is definitely not going to end easily!

"Your Majesty, an old man on the island said that during the Japanese Invasion in Imchen, the soldiers of Daming were the same, and the numbers were elite. The counted money, food and supplies came from Daming across the sea. Until the Japanese were driven away."

"Snapped!"

Jin Zidian raised his hand fiercely and slapped the member of the Luo Party who was acting as an eyeliner on Tamna Island!Don't want to hear what you just say!Back then, the Ming Dynasty crossed the sea and marched east to help Korea repel the invasion of the Japanese Sekibaek Toyosei Hideyoshi. What is the purpose of coming here this time?What I am afraid of is to learn from Xue Lizhengdong!Ask me to wait for a good-looking one!

Things in the world are really good but not bad.Jin Zidian was shy from inside the city gate of Jeju because the party members talked about what happened during the Japanese Invasion.There was a burst of alcohol in his mouth, and the clothes on his body were stained with oil.A group of Japanese people sang some unknown songs and stumbled towards Jin Zidian.

Seeing this group of short people less than five feet tall staggering towards them, Jin Zi couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back.In addition to the Ming Dynasty's own soldiers, the Ming Dynasty also ordered the Japanese warriors to come?It seems that this mission is by no means an easy task!

"idiot!"

A samurai with a dagger and ribs stuck in his waist deliberately bumped into a guard of Jin Zidian, but he opened his mouth to curse first, and casually gave the guard with a steel fork a mouth.

"Protect adults!"

Seeing his comrade being beaten by Japanese warriors, Jin Zidian's soldiers didn't bother to step forward to seek justice for his comrade. On the contrary, they quickly surrounded Jin Zidian to prevent any Japanese from harming Mr. Yizheng. [

"Bastard! Disrespectful!"

There was a shout from the group of Japanese warriors, and the Japanese warriors who had just pulled out their swords in front of the North Korean master and servant and threatened them, immediately retreated, stood sideways, and walked out of the way.

"The opposite is Mr. Yizheng Jin?"

The person who spoke was none other than Zong Yizhen, the third generation of the Tsushima Clan, the heir of the head of the clan.

The Tsushima clan is a very strange force.

Yoshitomo, the patriarch of the family, once believed in Christianity, but broke away from Christianity.Married the daughter of Xingxing Xiaoxi as his wife, but divorced after leaving education.Entrusted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was in charge of North Korean affairs, but because he wanted to trade with North Korea, he was called a vassal to North Korea.In the Battle of Sekigahara, the Ma Zong family joined the Western Army, but Ieyasu needed the Zong family to carry out diplomacy with North Korea. At the same time, he also knew that the Ma Zong family would not pose any threat to him. He was granted the title of Tsushima Capability Security, and assumed the diplomatic mission to North Korea.

The reason why there is such a wonderful existence is entirely because of the geographical environment.

Tsushima Island is exactly between the Korean Peninsula and the northern part of Kyushu, Japan, and exists impartially in the middle of the two.

Because there was very little arable land in Tsushima, the clan was nominally a daimyo with a height of 1 shi, but the actual income was only more than [-] shi.The economic operation and circulation of the Zongjia basically depended on trade with the Korean Peninsula before it started trade with South China.

That's why after receiving a handwritten letter from Li Peiting, the Zong family hurriedly sent the successor of the patriarch to Tamna.Can't afford to offend!

Along with Zong Yizhen to Tamna Island, there are also senior retainers of the Zong family.The monk Jibo Xuanfang was regarded as a diplomatic confidant by Yizhi and Yicheng.For the importance of going to Tamna Island this time, the Zong family did not hesitate to use this reason to have a fierce conflict with Liuchuan Tiaoxing.The monk who was sentenced to exile in accordance with the principle of "noise wins or loses" was urgently recalled from the place of exile and sent him to accompany the young master.It is because he is familiar with North Korea, has visited North Korea twice, and is familiar with the princes and nobles of North Korea.

Seeing a familiar person, Jin Zidian fell to the ground this time.This time on the mission, someone has been going through the needles, and.For the face of the Zong family, his head would not be thrown into the sea.At most, he was beaten out with a stick.

With peace of mind, Jin Zidian regained the etiquette and demeanor that North Korea should have for the right to discuss politics.

"It turns out that Ruo Dianyang, Elder Fang is here."

Under the kind invitation of Zongyizhen and Guibo Xuanfang, Jin Zidian and his party first went to the temporary military camp of Tsushima Zong's family to settle down.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and your lord is still as handsome and handsome as ever." Gui Boxuanfang was worthy of being a professional diplomatic monk, and the first time he opened his mouth, he was a series of free flattery.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and Elder Fang has become more and more skilled." He carefully sipped the tea made by the clan for the three of them.Jin Zidian carefully looked at the two monarchs and ministers by the light.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The two monarchs and ministers were all covered in silk, especially Guibo Xuanfang, who was even dressed in a brocade cassock, which was woven with gold silk.Under the lamplight, following Xuanfang's breathing ups and downs.The gold threads on the cassock shone brightly.

Both of them have a strong taste of nouveau riche.

In the eyes of Jin Zidian, who is familiar with the family's situation, Zong Yizhen and Guibo Xuanfang are completely a villain, "You two must forget the time when you came to my house and begged for business? !"

But this is just what he thinks in his heart. As a seasoned politician, Jin Zidian still has the ability to control his emotions.By tasting new tea.He bluntly asked Zong Yizhen which commander or supervisor of the Ming army is here on Tamna Island?The official needs to meet with the adults and state the difficulties of the small country.

After hearing this.Zong Yizhen and Guibo Xuanfang looked at each other and smiled.The secretiveness of the smile made Jin Zi shudder.

"Master Yizheng really thinks that the thousands of troops on this island are the Heavenly Soldiers of the Ming Kingdom?" Twirling his silver beard, Gui Bo Xuanfang began to answer Jin Zi's questions.

"If the current Ming Dynasty can have thousands of troops like this, will your country be forced to make an alliance under the city by the barbarians from Jianzhou?"

The words were sharp like knives, and Guibo Xuanfang's words were sharp, but they pierced Jin Zidian's most sensitive nerves like a knife.

"If it's Daming's army, then why did my clan and the Wudao family rush to help?"

A series of questions, like a strong sea breeze, gradually blew away the fog in Jin Zidian's mind.

"What does Elder Fang mean?"

"My lord, do you know who my family has been doing business with these years? Do you know where the high-quality cotton cloth and foreign sugar that my family sells to your country come from?"

"Could it be that?"

"Your Excellency, you can take a look at the banner of the Ming Army outside. The Ming Dynasty is true, but it is the Ming Dynasty Southern Central Army!"

South China Army!

This name can be described as thunderous!

When dealing with the Qing soldiers who invaded North Korea, Jin Zidian heard this name several times from the mouths of those stout Jiannu.

In the field battles on the plains in Gyeonggi, Ming Dynasty, it was already a miracle among the Ming army and the Korean army that thousands of people could deal with the attacks of the two armored flags inlaid with red flags undefeated.And the Nanzhong Army created an even greater miracle, annihilating these two Jiala in one fell swoop!

Although the Qing army mentioned this matter in a secretive manner, but from various channels, Jin Zidian was still able to piece together the basic graphics of the battle.All the banners still gloated over the loss of Manchuria and Mongolia with the Red Banner.

The Qing army of two Jiala can basically drive tens of thousands of Korean soldiers to flee everywhere.

And being able to wipe out two Jiala cleanly and beheading thousands of South China Army arrived in Jeju, this is obviously going to be detrimental to North Korea? !

Based on their attitude and methods towards the Qing army, Jin Zidian did not dare to think about the terrible consequences of what kind of drastic means they would use to deal with pro-Qing faction leaders like Jin Zidian.I couldn't stop cursing Zhao Guiren who was beside the king, "If it wasn't for your lowly maid talking nonsense, how could I have fallen into such a dangerous situation?"

He sat there in a daze, Zong Yizhen and Guibo Xuanfang glanced at each other.There was an imperceptible look of joy in his eyes.

"Young master, it's getting late, can we have dinner?"

The sample next to Zong Yizhen respectfully knelt down in front of him to ask for instructions.

"Your Majesty, you are in a hurry today, so please make do with it here. We will host a banquet tomorrow to welcome you."

The words were very courteous, but after the banquet started, Jin Zidian, who believed himself to be well-informed, was a little dazed.

There is a small charcoal stove in front of each person.White charcoal is burning in the furnace, and the dancing flames are happily roasting the net woven with copper wire.A woman picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly with long bamboo chopsticks inlaid with silver tips and placed it on the copper net.The copper mesh grilled by the charcoal fire has excellent heat transfer performance, and there is a sharp sound immediately, and the room is filled with a tempting fragrance of meat.

Zong Yizhen actually set up a barbecue table to receive Jin Zidian!

"If the palace is like this, it would be a bit too expensive to arrange it like this. This makes Jin really flattered!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say too much. We are also generous to others. When the army first landed on the island that day, the Commander ordered someone to survey and draw a rough map of the island and give it to General Li."

Seeing the topographical sketch of Tamna Island, Shouhan saw a very familiar name on the map, Halla Mountain!

This mountain, which is said to be able to take down the entire Milky Way, is not only the commanding height of Tamna Island, but also the product of the volcanic eruption.However, these are not the reasons for its fame.The reason why it is known to Shou Han is entirely because of the barbecue.

then.Out of a spoof mentality, Shou Han ordered people to make barbecue stoves and copper nets, and ordered people to send them to Tamna Island by clipper and hand them over to Xu Huanshan.At the same time, Chen Tianhua in Guangdong and Long Shengxing in Songjiang were ordered to purchase live pigs, chickens, ducks, buffaloes, etc., and send them to Daying in Jeju by boat.

"I want these guys to know what a serious barbecue is!"

Listening to Zong Yizhen explaining the origin of this barbecue, Jin Zidian didn't know what it was like.

It can provide sufficient meat, money and food for thousands of people on expeditions across the sea.How much property should the South China Army have for this Eastern Expedition?I'm afraid that the goods I brought may not be enough for other people's daily expenses!

"Master Yizheng. This is the best beef. Master Xu said it is called a steak. It is marinated with the best spices and then grilled. It is plump and juicy, and the taste is excellent."

Pork belly, steak, chicken, and duck were delivered like flowing water.Rao Jin Zidian was in a bad mood at the moment, and his appetite was poor, and the corners of his mouth were full of grease marks.There were as many as seven or eight empty plates in front of him.

Outside, the clan used the whole skeleton of a buffalo to stew in a pot, and then entertained Jin Zi's entourage, personal soldiers and the like. In front of each person was a large copper bowl of beef bone and seafood soup, and a large bowl of japonica rice.

"Not enough to add!"

Some people were sobbing and crying. These people can also feel the delicate and dangerous relationship between the South China Army and North Korea.They suspected that this was their meal.

Hearing the faint cries coming from outside, Jin Zidian also frowned slightly, put down the cups and chopsticks in his hands, and saluted Zong Yizhen who was sitting on the main seat.

"Thanks to Ruo Dian's generous treatment, Jin has something to ask, Wan Wang Ruo Dian will not say goodbye."

"Sir, please speak."

"If Dianxiang and Elder Fang are old friends for many years, to be honest, Jin came here this time at the behest of our great king, called the army, and actually asked for peace. But looking at it today, I'm afraid that Jin's life will be lost here in Jeju. If Jin's head is lost tomorrow, please ask Ruo Dian to enshrine Jin's body for the sake of Jin's business relationship with the Zong family for many years. Send it back to Seoul."

As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed from Jin Zidian's eyes. He had to admit that these politicians of all dynasties are good actors who can easily win the Best Actor Oscar.And there is absolutely no ng during the performance.Everything that dies belongs to the place of death and burial.

After listening to Jin Zidian's emotional and touching remarks by Mr. Jin Zidian, Zong Yizhen and Guibo Xuanfang glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing out loud. The laughter made Jin Zidian both sullen and angry. A little confused.

"Jin is so trusting, why do you two laugh at Jin so much?"

"My lord, please be calm and don't be impatient. I will wait for this little monk to divide the interests of my lord. However, before that, please order the soldiers of your ministry to eat first. The little monk swears to the Buddha that this trip, my lord, should be dangerous. Maybe there is still a day left." Bet on big fortune."

What Guibo Xuanfang said made Jin Zidian feel a little relieved.

The people outside heard that they were in danger of their lives, and immediately rushed to grab the food in front of them. The samurai and ashigaru who were performing the mission of the guards kept shaking their heads secretly. show contempt.

"My lord, I'm telling you the truth. There are private rumors in the Nanzhong Army that this time the army came across the sea to the east, not to conquer North Korea, but to regain their homeland!"

"Recover the homeland?" Zong Yizhen's words made Jin Zi even more confused. How could there be an inch of land here that belonged to Daming?

"No and no! According to what the Nanzhong Army said, Tamna Island has been owned by the Chinese state since ancient times!"

"If it wasn't for the purpose of regaining the country, the Nanzhong Army's thousands of soldiers and horses would spend a lot of money every day on Tamna Island, it must be for fun!"

"Isn't it true that the South China Army is for the crime of conquering our North Korea and submitting to the Hulu? It's just for recovering the country?"

There was a hint of surprise in Jin Zidian's tone.

"Your North Korea is known as a country of three thousand miles. Now it seems that only a group of old and weak women and children who open their mouths to eat and drink are left by the Hulu? What is the use of the South Central Army?! There is so much food that no one eats it. No?"

Zong Yizhen snorted with his nostrils upturned.

But Jin Zidian couldn't care less about Zong Yi's negligence, and he was full of joy. (to be continued...)
