Chapter 82: The Warriors and the People (Second Update, Asking for Support)
Celestial!
Almost as soon as he set foot in Liaodong, a tear flowed out of Song Shilie's eyes, and the accompanying North Korean envoys knelt down and cried excitedly when they looked at the "Ming" flag fluttering on the flagpole on the dock.
"Return to the Mother State, Return to the Mother State......
Song Shilie, who burst into tears like everyone else and was excited to return to his mother state, remembered the words of King Renzu back then: "Three hundred years of blood and sincerity are great, and you have received great favors, and once you will be a concubine, isn't it painful?" ”
How can it not hurt?
It's heartbreaking!
Since the Jiashen year, the reason why Song Shilie has talked about "respecting Zhou and righteousness" every year. This is the Emperor Ming, the Celestial Empire, and since then, he has been dreaming day and night that one day the Han people will be able to expel the Qing captives and restore the Celestial Empire.
Although the last time I went to Jiangbei to meet the King of Huai, I had seen the Ming Dynasty in full swing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but at that time, North Korea had not yet gotten rid of the Qing captives, and Korea was still ruled by the captives, but now, North Korea has returned to the mother state, and this state of mind is naturally completely different from the past.
The dream he had dreamed of for many years had finally come true, and now that it had finally come true, how could he not be excited.
"You'an, why is this so?"
Kang Ding, who came to the dock to greet Song Shilie, looked at him with a smile and said. The last time Song Shilie went to Jiangbei, Kangding received his party as an official of the domain, and Kangding, who was already good at articles, was deeply respected by Song Shilie and other Koreans because of his articles.
"Dingbang doesn't know anything,"
Wiping the tears from his face, Song Shilie said excitedly.
"Huang Ming and Yu Joseon Yize Jun Chen, Enyu father and son, the grace of the three creations, I can not remember the small state of North Korea, this Liaodong was a prisoner war, cut off my blood with my mother, how can I not be heartbroken......"
In fact, for the princes and ministers of North Korea, the behavior of being forced to clear things back then was tantamount to the ruler to the minister and the father to the son, which was rebellious and disloyal and unfilial, and how to explain the disloyalty and filial piety of the people of the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers.
And now, there is no need to think about this issue anymore, and North Korea can return to its mother state. I can redo the filial son of the emperor again.
When the Korean envoys were weeping there, excited and uncontrollable for returning to their mother country, on the other side of the wharf, thousands of Korean people looked at this strange land with blank expressions, although when the officials requisitioned them, they had told them that "this is a great act, and death is also proud", but for these ragged Korean people, although they knew that Korea was a vassal state of the Emperor Ming, legally speaking, the Joseon Li Dynasty only managed Korea for the Emperor Ming, which was a kind of "autonomy" and was also a courtier of the Ming Emperor. And they are also the people of the emperor, but they can't have the consciousness of "being an emperor and dying as an emperor's ghost" like officials and scholars.
"This is the Celestial Empire!"
Standing on the wooden pier, looking at the endless wilderness, Kim Minjun said with some nervousness. Unlike the others, he was not a commoner, but the lowliest of pariahs. His mother was a geisha before marrying his father, and the Korean geisha belonged to the untouchable class, so Jin Shijun was born as a pariah and could not enter the household registration, even if he was highly educated, he could not participate in the imperial examination, he could not even call his father "father" can only be called "adult", even if he is not loved by his father, he will be bullied by the descendants of the main room or the main room, and can only take the examination of miscellaneous subjects, that is, the examination of medical officer, translator, observatory, criminal cao, etc. However, because his father was just an ordinary scholar, he naturally did not have extra money to send him to study, so he could not study miscellaneous subjects in order to escape his miserable fate like everyone else, and then get rid of the fate of being a pariah.
Just when he was lamenting his fate, suddenly, his father brought a news - North Korea will send 100,000 people to help the Emperor's army in the Northern Expedition!
100,000 people!
Northern expedition!
Kim Min-joon can understand why when his father learned the news, he would be excited to recite poems and compose poems with his friends all night, and he and his friends would rejoice in the emperor's prosperity. But he saw an opportunity to get rid of being a pariah.
"Those who have made meritorious contributions can get rid of their lowly nationality and become citizens! Those who have made outstanding meritorious contributions have been graced by the emperor and can be naturalized as good citizens of the Celestial Empire! ”
For Kim Min-joon, he didn't even dare to imagine that one day he would become a good citizen of the Celestial Empire, his only wish was to become a commoner, and then let future generations be able to become Chinese one day, and change their fate step by step, of course, all this requires him to change his own destiny first.
Perhaps, this is fate!
Although he is a pariah, but because his father is a Chinese official, Kim Minjun still became the leader of more than 100 people's husbands, but the people in his team are all untouchables, and the commoners will not let the untouchables manage it, even if this untouchables are from everyone's background.
"What about the Celestial Empire?"
The shoemaker standing on the side glanced at the Ming army on the dock, and then said sullenly.
"At the beginning, I made shoes for the general for three days, but I only gave a bowl of millet, how could the soldiers of the Celestial Empire give that bowl of millet?"
The shoemaker's words made the faces of the people around him look ugly, and some people even said.
"You also got a bowl of rice, I was working in the field, and the master asked me to carry a sedan chair for him, and he carried it all the way into the city, carrying it for dozens of miles, and he didn't give anything."
"That's it, I see, this Celestial Empire is no better!"
While everyone was complaining, a horse came running, and the horseman on the horseback was wearing a red military uniform, and in the galloping of the war horse, the red was like the morning glow. When the war horse ran onto the dock, the Korean people who were originally crowded on the dock were all frightened and wanted to avoid the war horse, but the rider on the horse flashed through the crowd with his horse, and finally stopped his horse in one of the open spaces.
"Which of you can speak Chinese!"
Holding the reins of the horse, Le Yiping shouted loudly around him.
"Back to the general, the untouchables can speak Chinese."
Kim Minjun took the initiative to stand up and said in the official dialect of the emperor, who was not fluent.
"Untouchables?"
Le Yiping stared at Jin Minjun and asked subconsciously.
"You're a lowly member?"
"My father is Chinese, and my mother is a music girl, so I ......"
Jin Minjun, who originally wanted to explain his identity, was interrupted by Le Yiping before he finished speaking,
"Don't say anything about untouchables in the future, this is Daming,"
This is Daming!
For these untouchables from North Korea, Le Yiping did not have the slightest discrimination, he stared at Kim Minjun and asked.
"Do you know how to speak Chinese, are you a team leader?"
"Cheap...... The grass people are the team. ”
"Literacy?"
"Literacy."
"Very well, in that case, you team will come with me!"
Between the answers and questions, Le Yiping, who already knew something about Jin Minjun, did not say any nonsense, but asked for a team of people straightforwardly, and when he saw those ragged people, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why are you all dressed like this, you all get a set of labor clothes first, and change this clothes first!"
According to the regulations, all laborers who pass the inspection in the army need to be numbered and then issued with a new uniform. However, because they have already gone through the initial experience when they get on the ship, they only need to be issued uniforms.
"General, will you send us clothes?"
Jin Minjun looked at the "general" on the horse in surprise, and in surprise, he was a little worried, worried that they would be beaten to the strong, after all, he didn't want to die on the battlefield.
"You're worried about being pulled in."
Le Yiping naturally saw the North Korean's concern, so he smiled.
"The soldiers of the loyal and righteous army, not everyone can be the soldiers, you are the people in gray clothes, you don't need to worry about this, besides, the people are 10 yuan and 15 yuan a day, how can they send you as soldiers?"
New clothes!
When the gray cloth was handed out to these laborers, they all looked at the clothes in surprise.
"You're going to give us new clothes?"
The shoemakers looked with joy at the clothes they had just received, and although they were different from the ones they were wearing, they were still very excited, for many of them did not have a new dress a year.
"Not only do we have new clothes, but we also have wages, and the general just said that we have ten to fifteen dollars a day!"
Clothes, wages!
Just two simple seemingly ordinary treatments made these laborers immediately feel the difference between the Celestial Empire and North Korea, and they even immediately became grateful to the Celestial Empire.
"Oh, look at Minjun, he can speak the Chinese language of the Celestial Empire, and he is also literate, and if he follows the general, he will definitely be used in the future!"
The shoemaker, who had changed into a gray cloth coat, looked at Kim Minjun who was following the horse, and his tone was full of envy.
"Hey, you can also learn Chinese, and if you learn Chinese, maybe you will still be able to stay in the Celestial Empire by then."
"Stay in the Celestial Empire, we have that fate!"
When they were there and saying what seemed to them to be nothing more than a daydream, they soon arrived at the camp, a wasteland to be cultivated, and their task was to reclaim it. For them, this task is very simple, but it is just an ordinary, not even worth mentioning task, in fact, most of the people's tasks are very simple, or to open up wasteland, or to build roads, or to build houses, there is no danger at all.
And these seemingly simple tasks are the guarantee that the Han people will once again take root in the Northeast. Even these North Korean laborers are also an extremely important part of it, but these North Koreans, as the parties in the case, do not know all this, they are completely immersed in an inexplicable excitement, and this excitement is brought by their first meal after coming to Daming.
The dinner that day was very simple, but the rice and pickles, at most, each person had a piece of salted fish, but even so, after learning that such a meal did not cost money, and the rice was full, each of them knelt there gratefully and thanked the "kindness of the Ming Emperor......
