Chapter 369: Island Master Zhang Was Deceived?
After listening to Zhang's words, the Goryeo envoy made an uncomfortable appearance and wanted to cry------ he couldn't understand what Zhang's island master said, and it seemed that he was very unreasonable, but he couldn't talk about him, and he couldn't beat him!
The owner of Zhang Island is probably the largest buyer of the population in this time and space, and the Hui merchant is the largest human trafficker.
They resold the prisoners of the Crusades in the Cairo area, bought prisoners of war from various black tribes in East Africa, and even led camel wars into the East African steppes and North Africa to rob them in order to save costs.
They are relying on wind power and manpower to break the sea in the Indian Ocean, as human traffickers, as middlemen between the Great Song Dynasty and the West, for a long time, they are very awesome.
However, their good days as middlemen were soon crushed by the private maritime merchants of Liuqiu and the Dukes and private maritime merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, even ordinary Da Song-style sea ships were more efficient than their fast running------ so they could only engage in the business of human traffickers in the end, and due to the strong demand of Liuqiu Island, the upsurge of human trafficking was triggered.
In fact, there are many black traffickers------ the largest of which is now the kingdom of Shiraz, who have relied on the war to capture many prisoners and sell them as they continue to conquer the coasts of central East Africa.
The population can be resold and is one of the recognized common senses of this era.
Therefore, the owner of Zhang Island did not want the Goryeo envoy to stand on the highest point of morality, he did not know who organized the robbery of the Goryeo woman, but he knew that it must have been transported to the Shandong region or Liuqiu Island.
He continued, "Let's not talk about anything else, you Goryeo have also gained a lot of benefits from those women every year, right?" ”
When the Goryeo envoy heard this, he stopped talking.
Goryeo women who are married to people from Liuqiu Island or who work in the island mail various things to their hometowns almost every year through the sea ships that do business, and there are even mail ships that go to Goryeo.
For such materials, the customs of Seoul Island did not collect any taxes, but the Goryeo City Department did collect taxes------ although each Goryeo woman's mail was not much, but the total amount added up was a lot, which increased the income of Goryeo.
And the objects they send back are all practical and can help their families very well.
The owner of Zhang Island said proudly: "They can eat rice three times a day on Liuqiu Island and wear clothes of various colors------ what about in Goryeo?" ”
Indeed, ordinary officials in Goryeo only eat two meals a day, and they are not guaranteed to eat a meal of rice, unless they are nobles!
It's good that the people of Goryeo can wear white linen clothes.
The owner of Zhang Island knew that he was arguing with reason, but in Liuqiu Island and Shandong, there was really no such thing as a slave, and after working for a few years, as long as he could earn the purchase fee, he would immediately become a free man and automatically become a citizen of Liuqiu.
He didn't allow others to call blacks like the Great Song people.
He believes that as long as you abide by the laws and regulations of the island, regardless of race, religion, or color, you can become a citizen of the island, and at the same time be protected by the island.
The Goryeo official was silent for a while, and then made another request, hoping to stop supporting the Goryeo rebels Sambetsu Army------
Zhang Daozhu thought to himself, is this treating me as a great song?!
He said: "If your country no longer acts as an accomplice of the Tatars and no longer supplies the Tatars------ I can consider making peace for you, after all, the stability of the country and the region is conducive to the development of commercial and trade activities!" ”
Rebel again?!
The Goryeo envoy bowed his head deeply, they might not be able to withstand the iron hooves of the Tatars anymore-------
Island Master Zhang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, damn, how did you forget this Goryeo country that can rebel against the Tatars nine times, it's completely okay for them to add some chaos to the Tatars, and I can dispatch the navy when the time comes!
He thought about it for a moment and made up his mind.
He said: "I can sell you arquebuses and artillery and rockets, and provide you with enough gunpowder, and I can also send the navy to help you blockade the Yalu River------ if you refuse to supply the Tatars, I can also say that you can make peace with the three other army------- but what will you give me?!" ”
The Goryeo envoy was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak!
Zhang Island Master smiled, he pointed to the oil painting hanging in the living room and said: "Look at it, that's the Tatars you are afraid of, you know the recent big war, right?!" ”
The messenger nodded silently.
But Zhang still talked about the main results of the battle, saying:
"The Tatars have half their lives left, and you still don't dare to rebel? Are you willing to give 30% of your output to others? I heard that many of your people are so poor that they can't even put on their pants------"
The Goryeo envoy looked intently at the oil painting------ but Zhang Daoist happened to see a sly smile in the corner of his eye!
Damn it! This kid is playing dumb with me------
The judgment of the island lord Zhang was correct, the real mission of the Goryeo envoy was to convey that the new king of Goryeo wanted to rebel against the Tatar bandits, and he came to probe first!
After the ninth surrender of the Goryeo king to the Tatars, the war between the two sides ended, and Goryeo became a vassal of the Yuan completely
Country.
Kublai Khan, the chief leader, set up a conquest of the northeastern region of Dongxing Province and the Goryeo Kingdom to rule, and sent Daru Hachi to take charge of administrative affairs and supervise the affairs of Goryeo, while collecting various heavy tributes.
At the beginning, the original government system of Goryeo was retained, allowing them to have their own national customs, and they elected their own subordinate officials, and the prime minister was concurrently served by the king of Goryeo.
In addition, the "Goryeo Military and Civilian Administration", which was relocated to Shenju, Liaoyang Province, was mainly responsible for the affairs of the Goryeo expatriates.
In May 1274, Kublai Khan married his daughter Kudulu Jielimis to the prince of Goryeo, and in June, the old king of Goryeo died and the prince succeeded to the throne.
The following year, at the request of Kublai Khan, the new king of Goryeo changed the names of all official positions similar to those of the Yuan Dynasty, such as provinces, courts, Taiwanese, and ministries, and sent 20 noble sons to serve in the capital.
In the face of tribute exceeding 30% of the national income, there are more than 4 million people in the Goryeo Kingdom from top to bottom, and there is only one word "forbearance"!
Defeated nine times in a row, no one can bear this kind of suffering.
However, the new king of Goryeo was not a fool, and he closely followed the actions of the island of Liuqiu in the Shandong region.
After all, the two places are very close, but only 200 kilometers by sea.
After the Liuqiu Guards won two consecutive battles, the new king of Goryeo had some thoughts, but the Tatar bandits still had a large iron cavalry force, so he did not dare to act lightly.
When it comes to his relationship with Queen Kudulu Jielimis, it can only be said that you know, the power of his mother's family is too strong, and such a woman is generally easy to get along with?!
The fact that the new king of Goryeo can not sleep with her without sleeping with her speaks volumes that the two have no children yet.
But the result of the third war in Shandong completely dispelled his doubts!
There are detailed works by the new king of Goryeo in Shandong and Liuqiu Island, and he also concentrates on reading the "Liuqiu Times", and every issue of the issue, he has people send it to him in the fastest way.
Of course, at this time, the nobles of the whole Goryeo Kingdom spoke the Great Song dialect and wrote the Great Song characters, and there was no other bird language at all.
So, he made the decision to prepare for the tenth rebellion!
Zhang Island Master said angrily: "Say, your real intention to come here!" ”
The Goryeo envoy only showed his true color at this time, bowed deeply to the island master Zhang, and began to talk about business.
