Chapter 196: Big Stick Sweet Jujube
"Tanluo Island has been my Goryeo territory since ancient times, and it is an inseparable part of my Goryeo country, and any forcible occupation is invalid. ”
Xiao Rang smiled: "The history of your Goryeo Kingdom is only a few decades? He comes from the ancient saying, but this new Jeju Island has been our territory since the end of the Han Dynasty. ”
"There is no evidence for empty words, what kind of evidence can be used, how can it be child's play when it comes to the ownership of the country." Urging Ying asked.
Xiao Rang said: "Majia Village on New Jeju Island was formed by Ma Jun, a master craftsman sent by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty, to lead hundreds of people to come over and breed. Naturally, there are documents, such as documents from the end of the Han Dynasty and many stone tablets as proof. ”
Xiao Rang said and asked people to take out a yellowed paperwork, which recorded in detail that Zhuge Liang sent Ma Jun to lead hundreds of people across the sea to the island of New Jeju in order to balance Cao Wei, intending to establish a grain base here, so as to provide a large amount of food when Zhuge Liang attacked the Central Plains.
Urging Ying took this document in a daze, this Tamna Island originally only had Tamna people and people from Majia Village, a total of only more than 10,000 people, and the Koreans were kicked away by Chao Gai before they could gain a firm foothold on this island. However, those who engage in diplomacy have to be black-hearted and thick-skinned.
"When I was studying in Tokyo, I heard that it was easy to fake this thing. ”
"Unreasonable quibbles, I'll take you to see the monuments of the late Han Dynasty left on the island." Xiao Rang said.
"A must-see." Urging Ying said.
Xiao Rang took Xu Ying and his entourage to visit the island's monuments, and at least three stone monuments have recently been discovered on the island, all of which were introduced to Ma Jun's time on the island.
It took a group of people to visit these monuments for two days, all of which were carved on stone tablets, although they were old, but the records were very clear, and they were clear at a glance. It is undeniable that Majiazhuang has been on this island for hundreds of years, but it can't be said that the stone tablet is a forgery and the document is a forgery.
Xiao Rang said: "I have also read the documents, and I have also seen the monuments, if you don't admit it, I can't help it, anyway, now we occupy it, believe it or not." ”
He said: "My Goryeo kingdom has a strong army, and once my king is angry, he will surely shed blood for thousands of miles." ”
Gongsun Sheng immediately became angry and said, "As long as your Goryeo Kingdom has a strong army, our Tamna Island will not have a strong army?" If you don't talk about good negotiations, let's start fighting. ”
"I don't know whose order you took to occupy Tamna." Urging Ying asked.
Xiao Rang shook his head and said, "This is our internal secret, and we can't answer you." ”
There is nothing to talk about in this negotiation, and Urging Ying proposed to look around on the island, so that Xiao Rang refused, and going around was an act of espionage, and the new construction of such facilities on the island would not allow the Goryeo to snoop.
In the evening, he stayed at the Yuelai old store in the new Jeju port, in fact, this is the branch of Tianya Inn, but it is easy to arouse the suspicion of people who are interested in opening here, so the most commonly used name of the hotel is called Yuelai old store.
Bang bang, bang bang. The guy came and knocked on the door, and urged Ying to immediately stop talking to the entourage, turned to the door and asked, "Who is it, what's the matter?" ”
The guy said: "I'm the second child in the guest room, may I ask the guest officer's dinner to eat in the hall or in the guest room." ”
After all, he is a diplomat, and he is generally reluctant to go to the hall to eat, so he urges Ying: "Send it to the guest room and make a few Da Song specialties." ”
After a while, the shopkeeper brought four dishes from a tray and put them on the table. A pot of braised fish, a plate of spicy chicken nuggets, and two seasonal vegetables.
The attendant asked Yuying: "What is the red red in this pot of fish?" ”
Qi Ying shook her head: "I have never seen such food when I was studying in Tokyo, which is very strange. ”
The guy said, "You can taste it, especially this red one, which can be appetizing and spleen-strengthening when eaten." ”
Urging Ying picked up a Chaotian pepper with chopsticks and ate it, and soon the spicy face was the same as the monkey's buttocks, and she only felt that her tongue was on fire, but she was embarrassed to stick out her tongue, so she had to drink a lot of tea to ease up.
"What is this, and why is it so spicy?" Urging Ying asked.
"It's called chili." Xiao Er said.
After tasting the chicken and fish with the others, and found that the taste was much better, Qiying sighed: "It would be great if it could be used to make kimchi." ”
Qi Ying took a tael of silver and handed it to Xiao Er: "This is your hard work, thank you for recommending good dishes." ”
Xiao Er said: "This is all work within the division, how can I collect your tip." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's sit down and talk." Urging Ying was very enthusiastic about the shop guys.
"Do you have something to inquire about, we know a lot about the inn, you can ask whatever you want." Xiao Er said.
Qi Ying said: "Where did you come from, you came here so far to be the second shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Hey, I don't want to come either, I'm a relative of the boss's family, so I can't do it if I don't come." We are from Tokyo, and my boss has a good relationship with a big official in the imperial court, and this big official wants to develop this island, so our boss opened the inn here, thinking that we can make a lot of money. ”
As soon as he heard that there was a door, he quickly knew who was developing this island, and said: "The big official in the imperial court, that must be very powerful, what is the name." ”
"I don't know if it's surnamed Gao or Cai." The shopkeeper said.
Urging Ying then asked, "Gao Yu? Cai Jing? ”
"Where do I know what ball is in a shop, and the boss told me to go to work and leave." The shopkeeper said and took the silver and the tray and went out.
The envoy stayed on the island for three days, and the information was too specific, but on the whole, the situation was not good, and it is an indisputable fact that Majia Village has settled on this island for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of stone tablets and documents as evidence. On the other hand, Goryeo had only recently tried to snatch the island from the Tamna people, so it was in a weak position. But urging Ying to see the problem very thoroughly, as long as it is not the Great Song Dynasty that occupies Tamna Island, then there is a chance to turn the tables.
Just when he was urging Ying to come to New Jeju Island to find out, Chao Gai was also busy, and Chao Gai took Jiao Ting and more than a dozen personal soldiers, as well as Hu Cheng and his five merchant ships to the port of the Tamna people with a swagger. The Tamna people were newly annexed, and Chao Gai's move was also very risky, but Chao Gai was sure that the Tamna people couldn't distinguish between merchant ships and warships.
The king of Tamna came to the port from afar to welcome him, and of course the port was just a wooden trestle, and the simple one could not be more simple.
"Lord Chao and Lord Hu are here, and they are not welcome." King Tamna said with a smile.
Chao Gai said: "Well, I'll see if there are any difficulties with the hard-working Tamna people." If you have any difficulties, you can ask me, and I will try to help you solve them, because now you are the first aborigines of New Jeju Island. ”
The king of Tamna welcomed Chao Gai and Hu Cheng into his palace, of course, his palace was nothing more than a large courtyard, but the king of Tamna was very powerful, and there were Tamna warriors standing guard outside the courtyard wall.
King Tamna said: "Recently, everything is fine with the clan, but there are still some items missing in my palace. ”
Hu Chengdao: "The king's trust does not dare to slack off, it has been purchased, you can take a look." Hu Cheng said and handed over the list of goods for someone to translate to the king of Tamna.
It reads 50 sets of silver wine utensils, 500 jars of aged wine, 10 sets of sandalwood tables and chairs, and some porcelain vases, all of which are luxuries. It's a lot of money, but don't underestimate this king, his pockets are bulging.
Hu Cheng said: "Everything has been purchased, and you can arrange for the strong men in your clan to unload the goods." ”
"Okay, okay, this king will arrange it." The king of Tamna arranged for his sword-carrying guards to play the role of porters in a temporary cameo role, carrying all the luxury goods off the ship.
Let Hu Cheng accompany the king of Tamna to chat, Chao Gai took Jiao Ting and other personal soldiers, as well as translators, to the village of the Tamna people. These villages are only less than five or six miles away from the Tamna Palace, but the contrast feels like heaven and hell.
The low-slung houses are made of wood and have grass on them to protect them from the rain, and after all, it is not very cold in the winter in New Jeju, but the children running around in the streets are all unclothed, and the vegetables are obviously caused by malnutrition. It is enough for the Tamna people to fish for a living, and usually only a small amount of vegetables and almost no fruits. The Tamna people mostly use clay pots for cooking, and there are not many things like shovels and kitchen knives.
Chao Gai found a village elder who was in his sixties, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life in the wind and sun of his perennial maritime career.
"Old man, how is life at home, is there enough food and clothing?" Chao Gai asked.
The old man glanced at him: "Look at this ** egg essence for yourself, there is nothing at home, do you have enough food and clothing?" Except for the endless fish, everything else was missing. ”
Chao Gai smiled: "Hehe, I lost my words." What do the elderly want most? ”
"Clothes, soft clothes, look at the clothes of the people in our village, they are all ragged." The old man said.
"How many people are there in the village?" Chao Gai asked.
The old man said, "There are more than 800 adults and children in this village. ”
"Okay, Jiao Ting asked the soldiers to return to the merchant ship to deliver the letter, and let the eight hundred sets of clothes come over."
"Yes." Jiao Ting never hesitated to carry out Chao Gai's orders, and soon took 800 sets of clothes from the merchant ship.
Chao Gai first took out a set and gave it to the old man, who took the clothes and liked it very much, after all, this was a brand new clothes. Chao Gai said to the old man: "You come to maintain order, let's give out free clothes, one set per person." ”
"Is this true? Won't there be any other conditions? The old man asked.
Chao Gai said: "There are no conditions. ”
The old man was very excited, and immediately organized the people in the village to distribute clothes, one set for each person, and before evening, the whole village changed into new clothes, which were not good materials, they were all gray cloth, and the four Chinese characters of New Jeju Island were printed on them.
