Chapter 29 Trawlers and Shipwrecked

() Everyone was very supportive yesterday, and I hope to be even more supportive today. If we can reach 5000, we will save our life, and we must thank everyone even more.Less gossip, more than [-] words.

"My lord, these thieves are the shipwrecks we picked up from the sea." Back at the port, Xu Huanshan tied up all the guards in brocade clothes, and handed those men dressed as criminals to Li Shouhan.

"This is the items and documents found on the body of those Jin Yiwei."

Fortunately, the documents were wrapped with a layer of cloth brushed with tung oil. Although there were some water stains on the documents inside, the contents were clear.

"Li Peilin? Li Peiting?"

"The grandchildren of Li Chengliang, the former Liaodong Ning Yuanbo?"

Only then did Shou Han remember that today is already the 48th of the twelfth lunar month in the 26th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.In a sense, the Battle of Saarhu, which determined the fate of the Chinese nation for 300 years, has ended.In the afterglow of the victory of the three major campaigns, the Ming army had no choice but to usher in an unprecedented defeat.Although the instigator, Yang Gao, who was ambitious and talented, has been killed, there are still countless officials involved.According to the newspaper, Li Qizhen, who was in charge of the household department at that time, impeached Li Chengliang and Li Rubai and his sons, "opening the door to the robbers, raising tigers to feed themselves,...just ask Liaodong's corruption, who will be the figurines, Cheng Liang cuts off the land and seduces the captives..." But he didn't want to But today, his nephew was dispatched here?

This Li Peilin and Li Peiting must be members of Li's family. They were implicated and dispatched to Qiongzhou. When crossing the strait, they encountered wind and waves and became shipwrecked? !

Shou Han thought to himself.

To be honest, Li Shouhan didn't have a good impression of these literati and officials in the late Ming Dynasty, but the two people in front of him could let him know some inside stories about the core of Ming Dynasty government.

"Let Mr. Wang come over and show these people, those who can be saved must be saved! Also, this," Shou Han pointed to Li Peilin who was lying on the soft bed, "he must be cured! Those royal guards sank into the sea!"

The fifth day of the first month of the first year of Tianqi.open.

People reluctantly start to get out of the New Year's situation and devote themselves to the beginning of the new year.

"Unexpectedly, I thought that Qiongzhou was already at the end of the world, but I didn't expect that the end of the world is a paradise."

Li Peilin, who staggered a little while holding on to a green bamboo cane, and Li Peiting, who had recovered five or six points of energy, greedily watched the people coming and going on the street. "Brother, be careful." The one who spoke was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with snowy skin, autumn eyes, and picturesque eyebrows. She was wearing a new light yellow skirt, and she was supporting Li Peiting.

After lying in the medical hall for a few days, under Wang Tingqi's careful treatment, the members of the Li family recovered quickly.He recovered quickly.Today is the first time that Li Peilin and Li Peiting walked out of the gate of the medical clinic and came to the street of Ha Tinh.

Compared with the big cities and towns they saw in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Hejing was not a big city.The residents of Hejing also admit this, they are used to calling Hejing a town.However, in such a small town, there are some things that cannot be seen in other places.

Li Peilin narrowed his eyes, avoiding the glare of the sun, while observing the people and scenery on the street as much as possible.

The street is paved with so-called cement, which is hard, neat, and extremely clean. There are big trees planted on both sides of the road. The shade of the trees blocks the hot sun, making it look cooler. These big trees are all transplanted from the jungle outside. , The road and the drainage ditch are covered by cement slabs, and the sewage flows into the drainage ditch. Every distance, there is a pool built with red bricks, and the people pour their garbage into the pool.From time to time, people carrying burdens and those small Yunnan horses or docile buffaloes pull carts past it.There is no cow and horse manure on the clean concrete road. Some people use shovels to collect cow and horse manure. This is collected by farmers voluntarily, so that it can be used for composting and applying to the farmland.However, most cows and horses have dung pockets behind their buttocks.

Several guards wearing round iron helmets, red clothes on the upper body, and black trousers on the lower body, patrolled the street in a row, shouting something from time to time.Hearing people whispering on the street, Li Peilin knew that this was the so-called patrol battalion.Probably the responsibilities are similar to those of the guards in the Mainland.

On both sides of the street, large and small shops are already open for business, such as North and South dry goods stores selling salted fish, cured meat and dried fruits, new-style tailors selling ready-made clothes, and fabric shops selling silk and cotton.The bustling stream of people, greeted by shop assistants, is purchasing items for the new year's life.

From time to time, there was a burst of rumbling loud noises outside the city, and the people on the street didn't raise their heads as usual, just busy with the things at hand.

Li Peilin and Li Peiting were a little surprised. The rumbling sound was clearly the sound of gunfire, and it was either at sea or not far outside the city. Why were the people in the city so leisurely?

"Sir, don't be surprised," said Wu Cunjie, who was with him on the street, with a familiar expression. "The sound of the cannons at sea is because the sons of the navy are playing the cannons. The gunboats are being tested. The sound of the cannons outside the city is probably the guns in the arsenal where the guns are being tested."

oh!The two seemed to understand a little bit.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they acted as men and horses and made firearms. It seems that the rulers here have a lot of ambition!

There was some faint commotion at one end of the street, and with bursts of sharp whistles, a group of people walked over from the other end of the street.

That is a group of strong men conscripted into the camp for training!From 30 or [-] to [-] or [-], the age span is very large, but everyone's face is full of excitement and glory.

They wore uniforms of the same style, with narrow sleeves, buttons, and leggings.The bamboo basket behind him contains the bamboo armor made by himself.After the second batch of strong men were recruited into the camp for training, Shou Han decided that the bamboo armor needed by every soldier in the future would be made by the soldiers themselves.Subsidized by the public.

"Every parent and wife will put all their thought into making armor for their husbands and sons that can protect their lives on the battlefield."

After soldiers enter the camp, they can get a salt ticket with a denomination of ten catties of fine salt after checking and accepting the bamboo armor.His family can use this salt ticket to exchange for Jing salt, or sell it to those who need Jing salt.After arriving in the army, each person will be given a pair of plate armor. The bamboo armor also weighs 3 kilograms. Soldiers like to put plate armor on the outside of the bamboo armor. The heat insulation and ventilation also improve the protection. Li Shouhan also shook his head. , no bows, arrows, knives and guns can penetrate plate armor, unless it is the iron bullets of short-range muskets. However, iron bullets cannot penetrate bamboo armor. In other words, as long as soldiers are hit by solid bullets, generally they will not be injured. , Well, of course, flower bombs can also blow up soldiers to the sky.

"It's unimaginable! There are enough granaries to know etiquette, and enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace. I thought the saint was talking about an ideal state, but I didn't expect to see it in this extremely remote and remote place." Li Peiting muttered to himself. In his memory, almost no one is willing to join the camp as a soldier, even those who have hereditary military household status.Li Peilin was even more surprised. He had been immersed in officialdom for many years and knew Daming very well. The people in front of him didn't look like soldiers of Ming from that aspect.And in terms of morale, it is heaven and earth.Li Peilin's eyes flashed, Li Shouhan's intentions were serious.

"Brother Cunjie, I wonder if there is a clean place nearby? I have some matters to ask for advice."

"There are several restaurants nearby, and it's time for dinner, how about I invite the two brothers, Feng Qu, to have a few drinks?" Wu Cunjie was also in good spirits. "And me!" said the girl supporting Li Peiting. She is Li Peiting's younger sister, the daughter of the Li family, and was born to the concubine Liu. Chess, calligraphy and painting are omnipresent, Guangdong and Guangdong tastes, Cantonese seafood roast meat, Fujian fish balls, the tastes are intertwined on the street, stimulating people's stomachs.It's a pity, unfortunately, after walking for a while, among the several restaurants in the city, Zui is Tonghe Dyefang.

"Brother Li, it seems that you can only feel wronged and take a seat in the tavern on the street." Wu Cunjie smiled wryly twice.There is no way, today is the wine for the opening of the market, let's get in touch with the relationship between business partners, fortunately, this year the business will be better and bigger.Moreover, which of the several companies in this private room is not the cornucopia of Mr. General?Which family can be provoked by a gentleman in the internal account?

"It's no problem! I've already put these things behind me after picking up my life in the waves."

The four of them found a small shop on the street and ordered a few dishes, but they were conch, scallops, yellow croaker, lobster, etc. They also ordered a piece of boiled beef. Wu Cunjie specifically explained, "Don't be reluctant to put chili! Chili Money can be counted alone!"

Li Peiting and Li Peilin didn't notice Wu Cun ordering the dishes, their eyes were attracted by the few people squatting at the door and munching.

Looking at the appearance of those people, they don't look like Han people, and they have broken hair, tattoos, dark skin, and the knotted muscles of the upper body are exposed from between the collars of their clothes. There is a huge sea bowl, half a cooked chicken, and a hoof It has been gnawed until only the bones are left, and several people are still eating hard there.

"Brother Cunjie, this is?" Li Peilin motioned to Wu Cunjie with his eyes.

"Brother Peilin, you don't know, these people are either natives from the nearby villages that were just attached to the town, looking for some men in the town, or selling their local products to buy some fine salt, ironware, cotton cloth, and silk Or,” he lowered his voice, “it might be native prisoners of war used in several mines, shipyards, etc. After getting the wages and taking a rest, they came to the street to hold a tooth-making sacrifice.”

"Native prisoners of war, that's official slaves? Why do you need wages? And rest?" Li Xiuxiu found it very new, even unbelievable.

"I'm not very thorough about what's going on here, but my lord has a saying that I think is wise."

"Appreciate further details."

"On that day, a large number of native prisoners of war were captured and distributed to various places for labor and hard labor. After the distribution, the general formulated the treatment standards for these natives and announced the prisoner of war law. For example, if you want to be full, you need some oil and water .In addition, there is some wages every month. Everyone is puzzled. The general said, "Have you ever seen a farmer raising cattle?! Raising cattle is to use his strength. Don't you want to exhaust the cattle to death?!" Everyone The same is true when I think about it. So, I said, these people probably came out in groups to hold tooth sacrifices. They worked hard and worked hard. They were all clumsy guys that the Han people were not willing to do, but the money they got was much less than the Han people. Moreover, With their character that is not good at saving money, it is natural to eat and drink after receiving the money. Return the salary paid by the general to the general and stay in this town."

"Then won't they run away?" Xiuxiu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked puzzledly.

"Escape?!" The shop waiter at the side brought food on a red lacquered wooden tray and took over the topic.

"Miss is probably not from our local area? You are twenty miles away from the city. There is a place called Sanchakou, but it has been changed now."

"What's the name?"

"Hey! Girl, don't say that I'm trying to scare you. It's called the Tower of Human Heads today. It's built with the heads of the barbarians who were cut off by General Wang Bao during the first battle. Does the barbarian not be afraid of seeing it? !"

Xiaoer grimaced nervously, intentionally scaring the pretty little girl.

After arranging a few seafood dishes and fetching a bottle of wine, Xiao Er nodded and stepped back.

Li Xiuxiu was still pale, thinking about hundreds or even thousands of heads piled up in broad daylight made her feel horrified.

"Just now this fellow said that he dare not escape. I will continue to talk about not escaping."

After the Shou Han succeeded to the throne, he passed the order to all the nearby barbarian villages. If anyone accepts escaped slaves, and accepts one person, the trade with the tribe's village will be stopped, and the Han people's goods such as salt, iron, and cloth will be embargoed. At the same time, Han merchants will not accept their various local products.Those who accept more than two people will break through the stockade and turn all men, women, old and children in the stockade into official slaves.Let me ask, which barbarian dares to stroke the tiger's beard with such a powerful method?What's more, there are too many good things of the Han people. The benefits of several nearby villages have already been envied by the neighbors. The eyes are about to fall out: the land can be divided according to the standards of the Han people, the wasteland can be opened up, and the Han people can be used Buy the blessing of God at the price of that day, which is what the Han people call Jingyan; children can participate in the conscription according to the standard of one armor and one soldier, and then they can fight and share rewards in the future.

"The third is that you don't want to escape."

"Yeah? Still don't want to escape?" Li Xiuxiu opened her mouth wide, expressing her surprise.

"I just said that these people are doing hard labor everywhere. Although they are a bit more tiring, they can guarantee enough to eat and have some hard money. If he escapes, he will have no place to look for the day's food."

The three brothers and sisters listened to Wu Cunjie's explanation, and looked at the native slaves who were buying cooked food in front of a roast meat stall on the street, seeming to be thoughtful.

"Oh! I know it!" The little girl clapped her hands and shouted happily! "It's like the parrot in my mother's house, it won't fly away even if the foot lock is unlocked! That parrot of my mother's is so beautiful! It's the family members of all the houses in Beijing... .”

The little girl stopped talking suddenly, A Niang was dead, and the beautiful parrot didn't know that it was now in the golden house of that dignitary.

"Turn around slowly! Serve the food! I'm sorry for you!" Xiaoer's yelling broke the embarrassment in time. "Your boiled beef. Take it easy!"

The three brothers and sisters looked intently, but saw that in the oily sea bowl, the green ones were vegetables, the red ones were meat, and the white ones were minced garlic. However, there was a bright red layer on top. Is this the chili pepper Wu Cunjie said? ?

"Wow! It's so spicy! It's so spicy!" The little girl eagerly took a bite, but immediately yelled.

"Look at you, what are you panicking about?" Li Peilin spoiled this little sister very much, and handed a cup of tea to Xiuxiu, "Drink some water, it will make you feel better."

"This is a dish made by my family. It is made with red peppers found and grown abroad and served with beef. It is the most appetizing meal. The place in Annan is very humid, so eating some peppers is good for dehumidification."

"Hey, it seems that General Li is an all-rounder."

"Not only is he an all-rounder?! My general is chosen by the Emperor of Heaven!" The talkative waiter took up the topic again, and handed Xiuxiu a bowl of rice. "Who knows this He Jing? The general is chosen by the Emperor of Heaven. That's why we divide the fields, build big ships, and refine steel..."

"Okay, you go and do your work first!" Wu Cunjie felt that this junior, although he admired Li Shouhan the most, was also a chatterbox.

"It's nothing more than what I said above. If it weren't for the blessings of heaven and earth, and the favor of Buddha, how could the rice that had fallen to the ground stand up again and continue to be filled? And the harvest was bumper?"

Xiao Er is obviously a fanatical supporter of Shou Han.No wonder, a series of events convinced the people of Hejing that Li Shouhan was a god.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.He didn't notice that a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Li Peiting's eyes.

The number of people who ate a meal was incredible, especially the little girl Cui Xiuxiu, who kept shouting that it was spicy, but kept eating beef with her hands.

After drinking and eating, the three of them went to the pier and the barracks under the guidance of Wu Cunjie.

On the pier, the battleships that can travel thousands of miles in a day, the gunfire that can break mountains and rocks, the trawler that can catch tens of thousands of catties of fish and shrimp with one net, and the harpoon that hunts giant whales in the sea, all of them are jaw-dropping. .

In the barracks, those soldiers trained so intensely and covered so much that the Li family brothers, who were used to seeing the Nine Frontier Army and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, were amazed. What surprised the two was the high enthusiasm of the soldiers for training.In the eyes of the two brothers, it was very strange that the soldiers were training with enthusiasm.However, the high-pitched shouts and songs of the soldiers said everything.

"Brother, have you made up your mind?" That night, in Li Peilin's room, the secret conversation between the two brothers had already come to fruition.

"Of course. Not to mention that we have a bloody feud that seems to be pouring into the sky, just these dozens of people, how to make a living in Annan is a problem. What I saw and heard on the streets today, the people in the small area of ​​Ha Tinh are singing songs , the market is prosperous, and the soldiers are sharp. These are all common. In the eyes of Brother Wei, the most surprising thing to me is the establishment of the Zhengshitang. With this organization, General Li’s government orders and military orders can be sent to various villages. It means that the flow is unimpeded, and there will be no more obstacles. The inland government's government orders are no more than the disadvantages of the county, and it is absolutely impossible in Hejing. From this, it can be seen that General Li, with his people and ambitions, is in a corner of Hejing in Annan? "

Li Peilin walked to the desk and wrote a few lines on a piece of letter paper.

"The war in Annan has been going on for a long time! Does the general intend to put down the chaos? Siam and Khmer have no masters, does the general have any intention?"

"Students Li Peilin and Li Peiting bow down."

"Brother, why did you write like this?"

Li Peilin said meaningfully: "If the general is interested in the Central Plains, he will definitely unify Annan, Siam and Khmer. This is the capital to compete in the Central Plains. His various actions against the natives are based on this."
