Chapter 178: Park Sung-sung and Park Sung-in

Unlike other islands, it is rare to see rugged bays, capes, and headlands on Tamna Island, and there are flat beaches everywhere. Because it is a typical volcanic island, the entire island was formed by magma eruptions.

Figuratively speaking, Tamna Island is like an omelette on a frying pan, and the raised yolk is Hallasan. As a result, the huge island of Jeju lacks a natural harbor, and only a few ports such as Jeju Port are still in use.

Therefore, Jeju Port became the port where the Jeolla Right Naval Division of the Lee Dynasty was stationed on Tamna Island. In addition, Jeju Fortress is not far away, so the Jeolla Right Naval Army Festival envoy Park Sung-seong Park will stay in the city every time he goes to the island and accept the hospitality of those big merchants.

Don't look at Tamna Island as the place where the Lee Dynasty raised horses and was exiled, but Jeju City was very prosperous. Even if it can't be compared with the whole state of this provincial capital city, the enjoyment you can get here is completely incomparable to the whole state.

But this time, Park Chengxing was unusual, he did not go to the city to have fun, but honestly lived in the water barracks. The state pastor was very surprised, and sent an envoy to ask, did anyone make the right envoy unhappy last time?

In the barracks general's room.

Wearing a black gauze scarf, a satin gown 'Chiguli', and a wide crotch and fat-legged pants 'grip', and a thin belt to tie the wide trouser line, wearing a pair of white cloth socks, sitting cross-legged in front of a charcoal basin.

There is a baking tray on the charcoal basin, and the pork belly and pork skin on it are bubbling with oil.

A slightly younger man, dressed in the same way as him, sat across from a baking tray, flipping the roast pork rind with a copper tong.

Pu Chengxing sniffled greedily, and said to the little official kneeling at the door: "Go back, please rest assured that Lord Li, the general just has military intelligence and can't leave the military camp without permission." When the hostility is lifted, they will naturally go to him for fun. ”

"Understood, then don't bother the right envoy." The little official bowed and retreated.

The young man gave the roast pork skin clip to Pu Chengxing, who dipped it in the sauce in the shallow dish, wrapped the pork skin in lettuce leaves with radish strips and shredded green onions, and then brought it to his mouth and took a bite, and said in a nasal voice with a look of enjoyment:

"Oh, it's a big Trojan horse, the pork skin and the miso are a perfect match......"

After saying that, he clicked and chewed.

The young man on the other side asked a little indifferently, "Brother, are we really going to attack the fleet of the Celestial Empire?" ”

"Uh......" Park Chengxing choked when he heard this, rolling his eyes and pointing to the teacup on the table.

The young man hurriedly brought him barley tea, and Pu Chengxing took it and poured it down, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Cheng Yin, should you talk about this during dinner?" ”

The young man named Cheng Yin was Pu Chengxing's younger brother, and he relied on his brother to be a marquis of the navy, so he quickly bowed his head and said, "Brother, my little brother is wrong." But the little brother was so frightened. One hundred and seventy years after the founding of this dynasty, no one has ever dared to offend the Celestial Empire? ”

"Bastard, no rules!" Park Chengxing's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he raised his chopsticks to smoke him.

"Brother, my little brother is worried about you." Park Chengyin looked at Park Chengxing and said, "You are the pillar of our Park family!" ”

"Alas......" Pu Chengxing put down his hand in despair, poured a glass of soju depressedly, and sighed for a long time: "I was pinched by others." What can I do? ”

A month earlier, he had received an anonymous letter listing the accounts he had kept in and out of the Heavenly Dynasty and threatening to send them to Seoul if he did not do what the letter said.

This is going to cost Pu Chengxing's own life, if Wang Jingzhong's gang of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones know that they actually have 300,000 taels of silver in the Celestial Empire, they have to destroy him.

Tamna Island Water Army Camp, in the main general's room.

"Is it scary to send it to Seoul?" Park Sung-in was puzzled and asked: "The money is not earned by my brother alone, the adults in Beijing have a share, they should help cover it up." ”

"Of course it's scary." Now, Park Sung-sex has nothing to hide from his younger brother. "Who doesn't know that this Jeolla Right Sect Naval Festival Envoy is a first-class fat shortage? I was able to rob others because I agreed to hand over 80% of the water I caught to them, and only keep 20% for myself. Everyone else wants 30% or even 40%, and the adults think I'm sensible and not greedy, so they let me be the envoy of this festival. ”

Saying that, he smiled bitterly and said: "In the past two years, I have paid a total of 120,000 taels of silver in Jingli, and the adults are quite satisfied." If you let the adults know, in addition to the 20,000 taels I sent home, I also saved 300,000 taels in the Celestial Empire? What do you think? ”

"Ah, so many?" Park Sung-in was so frightened that he dropped the clip in his hand, he didn't expect Oba to be so bold.

"Don't you be so loud, don't you want to live?" Park Sung-sex hurriedly went to cover his brother's mouth. You must know that the entire North Korean naval division, the annual military salary and military expenses add up, but it is only 50,000 taels...... If the soldiers outside knew that the main general would actually eat 300,000 taels of food alone, and only let them drink a little soup. He couldn't roast his brothers alive.

"I inquired with my predecessor, and they never paid more than 50,000 taels of filial piety a year. Who knew that I should make a fortune, and soon after taking office, I caught up with the infighting of the nine families of the Celestial Empire, and the maritime trade from Jiangnan to Japan was cut off. Now the Japanese can only buy goods from our Jeju Island, and the business of merchants on the island is so hot that it is a mess. ”

Park Chengxing licked his lips as he spoke, and said in a low voice: "The smuggling boats in and out of our Jeju Island have increased by more than three or four times at once, and our pumping is naturally several times higher. It's just that I asked those maritime merchants to deposit most of the money in the accounts of the Celestial Empire, and only a small part was paid in cash. ”

Saying that, he sighed and said: "Brother, I'm not greedy for money, I'm worried that the nobles in Wang Jingli will kick me away when they see that the oil and water in this seat are several times more." ”

Park Sung-in said in his heart, isn't this greed for money?

But he said worriedly: "Then we can't attack the fleet of the Celestial Empire, once the Celestial Empire is investigated, the king will still have to suffer the crime, who can keep Oba?" ”

"I know, I know, I won't take that risk......" Park Chengxing nodded with a bitter face, and suddenly pointed to the baking tray and exclaimed: "It's mushy......"

"Oops, that's a shame." Park Sung-in hurriedly sandwiched the battered pork belly out of the baking tray and wanted to throw it away with a regretful face.

"Don't throw it away, loser, there's something to eat." Pu Chengxing's eyes are quick, he grabbed the black pork belly, carefully scraped off the pasted part with copper scissors, and then dipped it in a thick sauce, wrapped it in lettuce with radish strips and shredded green onions, and took a bite and said: "So you can't eat the mush." ”

"Brother will live." Park Sung-in's face was full of admiration, and he also followed the example of his eldest brother and disposed of the remaining pork belly. The brothers wrapped the vegetable leaves and ate them all.

Then they slapped their bellies together and crooked on the wooden floor.

Park Chengxing burped and said, "I'm fine." ”

"I'm fine too." Park Sung-in also hiccuped and asked, "Brother, you haven't finished yet." ”

"Of course I'm not so stupid, I directly sent the sailors to fight the fleet of the Celestial Empire." Pu Chengxing crossed Erlang's legs, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and said: "Although the other party promises that they will be responsible for all the consequences, it is better not to provoke the fleet of the Celestial Empire." ”

After a pause, he tilted his body and whispered to his younger brother, "I asked Boss Jin to contact Mishima Wako." ”

"Huh?" Park Sung-in was shocked again.

The Korean so-called "Mishima Wako" refers to the three islands of Tsushima, Iki and Hirado, which are only more than 400 miles away from Jeju Island, and these three islands belong to the Hirado Domain of Japan, and they are a samurai group known for their naval forces.

Because the Goryeo Kingdom had assisted the Yuan Dynasty in its crusade against Japan, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, they often invaded the coast of Korea, so they were called the 'Mishima Wako' by Korea.

However, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, due to the long-term dominance of the Southern Dynasty supported by the Hirado Domain, the economy was suppressed by the powerful Northern Dynasties, and the political revenge and plundering of Korea turned into pure piracy against Korea and the southeastern coast of China.

Among the Japanese who infested the Ming Dynasty, the 'true Japanese' mainly came from this.

~~

North Korea has set up many beacons and water villages on Jeju Island and surrounding islands. Even the naval army of Jeolla Province was to defend against the Japanese of the three islands.

But the miraculous thing is that a hundred years later, the North Korean navy and the Mishima Japanese invaders actually colluded and made a lot of smuggling money together. It is true that there has been no trouble in these years, so it can be seen that if you want to achieve great harmony, you still have to make a fortune together.

"And how did the Japanese reply?" Park Sung-in asked nervously.

"The Japanese have been robbing the coastal areas of the Celestial Empire for many years, and they have not seen the Celestial Empire raise a crusade. So they were not afraid of the might of the Celestial Empire at all, and when they heard that there were fat sheep on the sea, they didn't say a word, and they poured out of the nest. Park Sung-sung pondered for a moment and said, "I've been waiting for two days on the east side of Maro Island." ”

Saying that, he looked at the Huang Li on the wall and said: "According to the news from the Celestial Empire, that fleet sailed from Chongming yesterday, if nothing happens, tomorrow morning, the two sides should meet." ”

"I see." Park Sung-in suddenly said, no wonder his brother ordered all the sailors to return to the camp to be on guard, it turned out that he was afraid of running into the fleet of Japanese invaders.

"It is the duty of our North Korean sailors to protect Jeju Island from infringement, and it is very reasonable for us to choose to temporarily avoid the edge and prevent the Japanese from landing when the enemy situation is unknown." Pu Chengxing said seriously: "As for the fleet of the Celestial Empire, isn't the Ming Dynasty not going to sea?" It's also quite reasonable that we don't know that they were attacked in the waters off Jeju. ”

"Reasonable, very reasonable." Park Sung-in's heart was relieved, and he scratched his head a little and said: "But the Japanese are cunning, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, what if they hit a nail in the Celestial Empire fleet and turn around and land on Jeju Island to plunder?" Li Zhoumu is the brother-in-law of Lord Yin, and if we throw the pot, we may not be his opponents. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Park Sung-hyun scratched his feet thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, you will take ten boats to the area of Gapo Island, remove the flag, pretend to be civilian boats, and line up with your back to Jeju Island." Do not meddle in their battles, only drive the ships, and do not approach Jeju Island. ”

"Including the ships of the Celestial Empire?"

"Of course, if the Celestial Empire people land on the island to ask for help, do you say I save or not?" Park Sung-sex said with a natural face.

"yes, I see." Park Sung-in nodded, got up and dressed neatly, and took the boat out to sea.

ps. still two more, but understand the natural understanding, these two more consumed time and energy, catch up with the writing of the fourth watch, from the morning to the ......
