Chapter 402: Branches
Half a month later, in the central city of Seoul selected by Zhu Song, a team of sturdy soldiers drove the carriage to this side to transport huge rocks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Coming to the middle of the middle of the city, the 10-kilometer range of the 'control area' has been encircled, although it is only a half-person high wooden pile, but it also shows the particularity of the 'control area' of the Ming Dynasty.
The buildings in the 'control zone' were not completely demolished, but selectively demolished.
For example, those distinctive buildings were preserved and returned to the original Korean people, but they were ordered not to rebuild or destroy the buildings, otherwise, not only would the buildings be taken back by the Ming Dynasty, but the destroyers would also be sent to the government.
Therefore, on the construction site of the 'control zone' that is full of people, you can still see a lot of North Korean people.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the construction site, not far from the Han River, in a slightly high convex area, there is a rough-looking pier that can only accommodate one or two large fortune boats.
On the small wharf, several small fortune boats were quietly moored there, and there were constantly thinly dressed Ming soldiers, or local Korean people, helping to carry them on and off the boats.
The Japanese Korean people who worked here were actually prisoners sent by Song Joong Ki.
These Koreans were all captured by Song Joong Ki when he was purging Han Dong-do of traitors and disciples of Yi Kendo throughout the country.
Compared to buying those scrawny slaves directly from the hands of people, these prisoners are much stronger in terms of strength, and they can also imperceptibly wear out the 'rebellious' nature of these prisoners.
Besides, Daming is not using them for nothing, but he can eat and live!
Accompanied by several high-ranking members of the army under construction, Zhu Song and a few little guys dressed in civilian clothes appeared in this small port that was a little prosperous.
"I said, it's only been half a month, right? I didn't expect such a small port to be built on the side of the Han River, and it seems that the king agreed to the proposal of the king of Joseon, which is still good. ”
Seeing this small port gradually becoming lively, a smile also appeared on Zhu Song's face.
"Hey, Uncle Songhuang, don't you know!" As soon as he heard Zhu Song mention these prisoners, Zhu Mengcan suddenly came to his senses: "When these North Koreans came to our construction site, their arrogant and invincible attitude almost made their nephew whip them." ”
"Did you really do that?" Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Mengcan and said, "You kid, when Li Fangyuan handed over these Koreans to me, I didn't plan to let them die. You kid......"
"Oh, you listened to your nephew!" Seeing that Zhu Song began to blow his beard and stare at him, Zhu Mengcan shrunk his neck and said, "I just taught those disobedient guys a little lesson, and I didn't kill them, why do you have to be so angry?" ”
"Okay, I don't know you kid, you kid, with a chicken feather as an arrow, no one is dead, this king doesn't believe it." Zhu Song pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, forget it, die and die." ”
"Hey, hey!" Zhu Mengcan laughed and said, "Actually, there are really no dead people!" At first, these guys came to us with reluctance, but when they heard that they had enough food and that the Joseon royal court gave them money every month, they immediately turned their jobs harder than anyone else. ”
"You mean, the Korean royal court also promised to give them a monthly money?" Hearing Zhu Mengcan's words, Yang Shiqi, who has always regarded money as dung and is indifferent to fame and fortune, also showed surprise on his face.
"Yes, according to the silver money exchange rate between our Ming Dynasty and North Korea, it is three pennies!"
Zhu Mengcan pursed his lips and said, "This Li Fangyuan is really rich, but he is just a prisoner, just eat and drink, and even give them a monthly salary, what is the difference between this and those official families who eat the king's grain?" ”
"Do you want to make a face?" Zhu Song glared at Zhu Mengcan and said, "Sanwen money!" ”
Sanwen money, in Daming, you can hire workers who can't pay three dollars a month, and if you don't say anything, you have to pay thirty yuan, and it has been reduced tenfold all of a sudden, it's really ruthless!
"It's a lot of money!"
Zhu Mengcan smacked his lips and said to himself: "I also think that there is a lot of money." There were 13,400 of these North Korean prisoners, and each of them paid 3 cents a month, which was also a considerable expense. A group of people who committed the crime of rebellion gave them monthly money, and Li Fangyuan was also crazy. ”
Hearing what Zhu Mengcan said at this moment, looking at the expression on this thing's face, Zhu Song couldn't bear it anymore, and shook it off with a violent shudder:
"You kid can do it, and you have to stop talking in moderation. Just talk about it, but don't let outsiders hear it. ”
"What about that?" Zhu Guiqi got out of his head from behind and said, "Could it be that he, Li Fangyuan, still dares to do something to us?" ”
"Alright, alright, that's the end of the conversation." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "Meng Can, Uncle asked you to be the supervisor on this construction site because you kid is quite capable." You tell your uncle, judging from the current progress, how long will it take to build the initial scale? ”
"Judging from the current progress, it will take at least three months, after all, the foundation of our 'embassy' has just been built, and the three months are all estimated by my nephew after the completion of the small port on the Han River."
"Three months?" Zhu Song lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then continued: "This time is a bit long, it seems that the time we stay in the Korean Kingdom will be extended!" ”
"Huh? Could it be that if the 'embassy' is not built, we will have to stay in North Korea for as long as possible? Zhu Youyi and Zhu Yuexian were unhappy, and their faces were reluctant.
"And what do you say?" Zhu Song said: "Even if we want to go back now, I'm afraid that your four emperors won't agree, so you can all bear with it." ”
"Ah, that's it! Let's ......"
Just when Zhu Youyi wanted to say something more, suddenly there was a noisy sound from the port in front of him, and then everyone saw a large group of people gathered together, as if there was a commotion.
"What's going on? Let's go over and take a look. Zhu Song's attention was attracted by the commotion in Xiaogang, and after saying a word to Zhu Youjiao, he walked over there.
……
The group walked towards the small harbor where the commotion had taken place, and as they got closer, they faintly heard what seemed to be a quarrel.
This made Zhu Song even more curious, located in the east of Seoul, the small port on the edge of the Han River has not yet been built, and the ships that come and go every day are all ships from the Ming Dynasty who come to deliver building materials.
It stands to reason that the small port under construction is a key monitoring office, and there will be Ming soldiers guarding it every day, so there should be no riots? What's going on?
Although this piece of land belongs to the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of Han Dongdao and the remnants of Yi Jiandao are still eyeing each other, in case they are deliberately arrested, just to assassinate Zhu Song and them, in order to provoke the relationship between the Korean Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty?
Recently, the top brass of the Ming army, who were assassinated once or twice a day, has proven this.
Therefore, when Zhu Neng's army returned to the Ming Dynasty, the 5,000 soldiers who deliberately stayed in Korea would send 200 soldiers every day to be distributed to the top of these Ming troops to protect their safety.
This time, these soldiers came to the 'control area' under construction, and naturally these soldiers also came.
They didn't know what was going on here, so in case something happened, these soldiers immediately surrounded Zhu Song and them quietly, and at the same time looked around cautiously.
Compared with these extremely nervous 'bodyguards', Zhu Song and them are very calm.
I think it is, Zhu Songnai is a master of strength, and the other little guys are not mediocre hands, unless they attack them in groups, otherwise, they will be afraid!
The two Ming soldiers opened the way in front, and Zhu Song and they followed closely behind.
As soon as I squeezed into the crowd, before I could do anything, I heard a crisp slap.
Syllable!
Yo, the voice was so loud that everyone present was startled.
"What's the situation?" Zhu Song raised his eyebrows, pushed aside the soldiers who opened the way in front of him, and was about to look forward.
Unexpectedly, he had just shown his half-stretched body, and he felt a black in front of him, and a slender figure smashed towards Zhu Song's head.
If you don't dodge this time, you will definitely fall on Zhu Song's body.
"Not good!"
The soldier who was pulled away by Zhu Song was shocked, and subconsciously stepped forward to kick the smashed figure aside.
Who knew that Zhu Song's movements were even faster than the soldier just now, striding and moving his body, his left foot behind him, his right foot arched forward, and his hands were lifted up like lightning, and the person who smashed over was held in his hand.
"How are you? Are there any injuries? Zhu Song shook his hands, put the thin figure on the ground, and turned his head to look at the man.
This is a young man with a face full of dust and a height of about 1.75 meters, because his face is full of dust, so Zhu Song can't see his appearance, but judging by his clothes, he should be from the Kingdom of Korea.
The young man didn't speak, just shook his head with a dark face.
Just when Zhu Song wanted to ask what happened to this young man, the direction where the figure flew over, a group of widows wearing Xiao Yuben's costumes walked towards him with great momentum.
There are about 20 people in this group of Japanese people, and the guy at the head is a fat middle-aged man with a mustache, looking at the gorgeous kimono on his body and the moist expression on his face, nine out of ten are a certain nobleman in his country.
As for the guys who followed him, just by looking at what they were wearing, they knew they were guards or subordinates.
"Who are you, and why do you want to take this slave?"
Before the fat white man who walked in front of him could speak, a guard who followed the fat man and. In an extremely stiff Korean dialect, he scolded Zhu Song sharply.
Zhu Song is not a North Korean, although his bodyguard career in his previous life made him no stranger to North Korean, but he still didn't want to take care of this little book.
At least, in Zhu Song's voice, it sounds a little harsh, not so much in Korean, but in their little book, at least it's not so contrived, isn't it?
Syllable!
Give somebody a taste of his own medicine.
The soldier who was pulled aside by Zhu Song, who was still feeling guilty about what happened to Fang Cai, saw that his prince didn't say anything, so his body shook slightly, and he came directly to the person who shouted just now, and he pulled it with a big mouth.
You must know that the soldiers who can be selected by Zhu Neng to stay to protect Zhu Song and them are all elite soldiers, even if they have not entered the transformation of energy, they are also masters of dark energy.
This time, for example, the one they gave the young man was so powerful that the slap directly called the man half dead, and half of his cheeks swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Poof!
The unlucky guy didn't understand what was going on, so he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
"Takada-kun, Takada-kun, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that this guy was slapped and stunned, this group of people were all panicked.
"Your Excellency Kameda, Takada-kun has fainted." A guard looked at the unlucky ghost, came to the white fat man's side, and whispered back.
"What?" The white fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "These people are really hateful!" ”
Turning his head to look at Zhu Song and them, the fat man was just about to speak, and Zhu Mengcan, who had been eager to try, took the lead and said, "I said that white fat man, what the hell are you?" Hurry up, get out of here, don't show up with this shameful person! ”
Zhu Mengcan didn't speak Korean, so he shouted directly.
"Akito?"
Hearing Zhu Mengcan's words, a fine light flashed in the eyes of the white fat man named Kameda, and he immediately seemed to remember something, and secretly said in his heart: "What about Mingren?" This is North Korea, not the Ming Dynasty, you Ming people are arrogant in the Ming Dynasty, can you still be arrogant when you come to North Korea? ”
Thinking of this, the white fat man returned to Fang Cai's high posture again, and said in a blunt Chinese dialect:
"Hmph, you kid is rude! My name is Kogoro Kameda, and I am an envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, and I have come to the Kingdom of Korea to discuss the matter of becoming a friend with the King of Korea. ”
When he said this, Kameda Kogoro paused deliberately and continued to say proudly:
"The envoy's boat entered Seoul along the Han River, but it had just docked, and the cheap slave came up and wanted to bombard the envoy's boat! Amusing! ”
Hearing Kameda Kogoro's words, Zhu Song turned his head and glanced at Zhu Mengcan.
Zhu Mengcan knew what was going on, shook his head hurriedly, and said, "I, I followed your wishes, and placed a sign prohibiting entry in front of Xiaogang, and I also used our Chinese characters and Korean characters to write it. ”
It turned out that when this Hanjiang port was first built, considering that it was classified as a 'control area' of the Ming Dynasty, this port had been classified by Zhu Song as a special use of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Song asked Zhu Mengcan to set up a huge sign on the small port, which stated that 'the Ming Dynasty is exclusively for the Ming Dynasty, and other ships are not allowed to dock'!
"You, go see if the sign is still there?" In order to choose himself, Zhu Mengcan immediately ordered a soldier to take a look at the boundary of the poking brand.
"Huh? Yes, yes, the little one goes! The soldier who was targeted by Zhu Mengcan immediately nodded and ran towards the front of the port.
