Smuggling Daming

Chapter 69 Human Trafficking

Today's weather is exceptionally good. There is no cloud in the blue sky. The sea in the distance is connected with the sky. It is hard to tell where is the sea?Where is the sky?A fiery red sun is rising slowly, bringing a rare warmth to this cold winter. If you move a chair and lie in the sun at this time, it is really a rare enjoyment.

It's a pity that not everything is beautiful under the sun. Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun walked slowly through the water village of the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce. Most of the buildings on this land had been burned to ashes. In the meantime, there are occasional wisps of black smoke coming out.

Although the corpse has been moved away, the large bloodstains on the ground proved to them that there was a fierce battle here, and even the air was filled with the smell of barbecue, which made Xie Lingyun and Sanniang behind her look pale. It was ugly, and I even opened my mouth to vomit a few times, but nothing came out.

Last night's sneak attack went very smoothly, even far exceeding Zhou Zhong's previous expectations. In particular, no one thought that Pu Yuanjiang, the president of the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce, and several stewards were all drunk and unconscious. When they got up from the bed, these people hadn't sobered up, and some even cursed drunkenly. It wasn't until Sun Tong raised his hand and slapped the other party a dozen times that Park Yuanjiang and the others woke up.

In addition, the results of the battle were also counted this morning. There were more than 370 people in the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, and more than 100 people were killed and burned to death in the end. Except for some of the remaining 200 people who surrendered on the spot, most of the remaining people fled. When they arrived at the port, it was a pity that Zheng Ling had burned all the boats, and there was no way to escape by boat, and even if he boarded the boat, the sluice would be destroyed, making it difficult to escape.

Under the desperation of the chasing soldiers and the sea before them, some people jumped into the seawater of the port. Unfortunately, because the weather was too cold, many people were frozen to death in the sea, and those who did not dare to jump into the sea surrendered on the spot. .Of course, some Koreans who were lucky or had amazing water skills fled to the wall of the water village, and then climbed over the wall to escape, but those were just a few individuals and did not affect the overall situation at all.It can be said that after this battle, the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce was almost wiped out.

In fact, it is not surprising that such a great result can be achieved. After all, the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce is just a group of smugglers. Although they hold weapons in their hands, they are still a group of ordinary people in the final analysis. They cannot be compared with the regular army at all. And it's still the kind that can only fight with the wind. When encountering a surprise attack at night, there is no time to react. In addition, there is no leader organization, so it is naturally a crushing defeat.

Finally, according to statistics, there are more than 180 North Koreans who surrendered. Now all of them are squatting in an open space in the water village with their hands tied, and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family are guarding the surrounding area.People from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family also suffered casualties, but because the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce collapsed quickly, the casualties were very slight.

Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun walked to the square where the prisoners were being held, and Sun Tong, who was in charge of holding them, immediately stepped forward and reported: "Young Master, all 180 prisoners from the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce are here, what do you think should be done?"

Zhou Zhong nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the North Koreans squatting on the ground. Among them, a few people kneeling in the front were wearing silk underwear. At a glance, they were high-level officials of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce. It is very likely that Park Yuanjiang in it.Behind them, there are more than 100 North Koreans. I saw that these people were blackened from the smoke, and some of them were seriously injured. Their bodies were covered in blood, and there were not a few people who had broken hands and feet. .Xie Lingyun couldn't help showing a bit of unbearable look in her eyes when she saw the miserable conditions of these prisoners.

Just when Zhou Zhong wanted to ask Sun Tong, how did the Chamber of Commerce deal with the captives before?Suddenly they heard a burst of crying and crying from the direction of the port, which made Zhou Zhong and the others feel very strange, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

As a result, after a while, I saw Zheng Ling and Zheng Longhai, father and son, leading a group of people coming from the port, and in the middle of their group were twenty or thirty crying girls. They are all thirteen or fourteen years old, with ragged clothes and dirty faces, but if you distinguish carefully, you can find that these girls are not bad in appearance.

In addition to these girls, there are more than a dozen boys in the team. These boys are younger, most of them are six or seven years old, and like the girls, they all have handsome faces.It may be because these boys were too young, which made them more shocked. All of them opened their eyes wide with horror, and couldn't even cry.

"Uncle, where did these girls and boys come from?" Xie Lingyun asked with a puzzled look when she saw these girls and boys.

However, Zheng Ling didn't answer Xie Lingyun's words right away, but rushed to the group of captives on the square, and punched and kicked the senior officials of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce in the front, cursing while beating: "You bastard, fuck your [-]th generation ancestors, I told you to abduct and sell women and children, today you must drink with your heart..."

Although Zheng Ling is not young, but because he has practiced martial arts since childhood, his body is very strong, and his punches and kicks have the power to break wood and crack rocks. Now he strikes with all his strength, and Pu Yuanjiang and the others can't resist, and they are beaten soon. Screaming again and again, the nose and eyes on his face were swollen.

Hearing the swear words from Zheng Ling, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun seemed to understand something, at this time Zheng Longhai also stepped forward and explained: "Young master Zhou, cousin, the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce is really not a thing, these girls and children are ours. They were found in two large ship bilges at the port, and according to the guards, these girls and children were all abducted from Daming, and they will be transported to North Korea to be sold in the future!"

"What?" Zhou Zhong was furious after hearing this, and there was a frightening glint in his eyes.And Xie Lingyun next to him was also full of anger, and she no longer looked at the prisoners of the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce with any sympathy.

"**The ancestors of the Koreans, our Han Chamber of Commerce has a unified and strict order to prohibit anyone from trafficking in human beings. I didn't expect Park Yuanjiang to be so courageous that he dared to sell women and children in private. If it weren't for being bumped into by us today, I'm afraid everyone Everyone has been kept in the dark by them!" At this time, Uncle Tuo, who had been following Zhou Zhong, also said angrily.

Soon the news of the Quanluo Chamber of Commerce's human trafficking spread among all the people, and this really angered the public. Whether it was the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce or the Xie family, they all gathered in the square to beat the captives. Kicking, the entire square almost turned into a gang fight for a while, and several people around each prisoner were "serving" with all their strength!

The reason why the Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family are so angry is actually for a reason. With the development of smuggling, Koreans and Japanese also came to Shuangyu Port. At the beginning, they also did legitimate business with smugglers, selling silk, porcelain, etc. goods, but slowly, some Japanese and Koreans have made crooked ideas.

Speaking of which, although the dynasties in the Central Plains have changed, they have always been the undisputed overlords of the surrounding countries. Whether it is North Korea or Japan, they are all governed by courtiers.It may also be this kind of mentality that causes people in these countries to have an innate sense of inferiority when facing people from the Central Plains.

For example, in the Song Dynasty, there were unmarried Uighur women and Japanese women who found Song men, and then had sex with them, and returned to the country when they became pregnant, which is called Duzhong.Moreover, these women with Song people's blood are not only not discriminated against, but it is also a kind of honor, and even men of their own clan are vying to marry these women. (Note: This is definitely a historical fact, not fabricated by Lao Yu. You can find an explanation by searching "Du Zhong" on Baidu.)

It is precisely this sense of inferiority that, in the eyes of the people of small countries like North Korea and Japan, the blood of the Central Plains people is undoubtedly very noble.Originally, this was nothing. After all, the Central Plains region has always been the center of civilization in East Asia, and it is naturally worshiped by neighboring countries.But when smuggling along the coast of Daming started, a very bad situation happened.

For example, in small countries like North Korea and Japan, some nobles in their countries not only like to read Chinese books and speak Chinese out of admiration and love for the civilization of the Central Plains, but many people even dream of owning a beautiful woman from the Central Plains.But it is a pity that the people of the Central Plains have always regarded the surrounding small countries as barbarians. Even if women marry beggars from their own countries, they may not want to go to those barbarian lands. too likely.

It is precisely because of the needs of the domestic nobles, coupled with the prevalence of smuggling, that some Japanese and Koreans began to collude with some scum among the Central Plains people, abducting some girls and selling them to the Japanese and Koreans, and most of these women came from the coast. area.

Whether it is the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce or the Xie family, most of the people involved in the smuggling are also the people along the coast, and they have to take the road of smuggling because of the pressure of life.Most of the girls abducted by human traffickers are their fellow villagers, and they may even be their sisters. It is precisely because of this that most smugglers in Daming have always hated such people as human traffickers.

Fortunately, the situation of human trafficking did not last long. A few years ago, Zhou Zhong’s father, Zhou Hai, as one of the overlords of Shuangyu Port, joined forces with Xie’s family and other Ming Chambers of Commerce to wipe out several Japanese involved in human trafficking in one fell swoop. and the North Korean Chamber of Commerce, and then set up strict rules to prohibit anyone from trafficking in human beings, and then snuffed out the signs of this unhealthy trend, but I didn't expect that less than ten years later, someone would dare to come under their noses. Trafficking in human beings is simply not paying attention to their original strict orders.

"Miss Xie, according to the rules set by my father, Xie's family and other chambers of commerce, how should we deal with these human traffickers?" Zhou Zhong asked through gritted teeth.If these girls are sold to North Korea, they will definitely become playthings, and those boys will be even more miserable, because they will become child prostitutes of some perverted nobles.
