Chapter 334: Hot Face Sticks to Cold Ass
The North Koreans in the checkpoint don't know what is happening outside the checkpoint, and with the help of the fat tax officer, Yu Xiang successfully blends into the checkpoint. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then it was the time for Yu Xiang's performance, after killing two people in a row, Yu Xiang killed the supreme commander of the level with one enemy and three enemies, and he was protected by layers of guards.
The port was suddenly attacked, and the port was already panicked, and now, the leader was killed in battle, and the soldiers had no heart to resist.
Yu Xiang's entourage was all the bandits he had carefully selected, and the group went on a killing spree, completely seizing the commanding heights of the port.
"Chief, it's time to inform everyone, right?"
Yu Xiang bowed his head slightly, "Blow the trumpet."
"Okay!"
"Woo woo woo-" The low horn sounded, and the military horses scattered all over the port immediately understood: Yu Xiang had already succeeded, and he could plunder the goods on a large scale!
That's right, this aftermath came by boat, not for trading, but for plundering.
As we all know, ports are the foundation of wealth at sea, and even pirates will not plunder unless necessary.
Yu Xiang was bent on making a name for himself at sea, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so reckless, but he did it anyway.
Why is that?
This has to start a few months ago, since the fight against Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou divided the labor to suppress the bandits, the days of the rogue have been declining.
Assigned by Wang Teng, Yu Xiang, who went undercover to enter the Liukou, decided to go to Huangxian to build a ship and go to sea.
Shipbuilding is no better than others, and without years of accumulation, it is absolutely difficult for ships to go to sea.
Originally thought that there would be no chance to go to sea within a year or two, Shui Zeng thought that Yu Xiang saved Liu Zheng, the son of the pirate Liu Xiang, by chance.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong duel with the coast of Guangdong, and then, Liu Xiang was defeated and died.
It was under such circumstances that Liu Zheng fled to Shandong!
At first, Yu Xiang only thought that Liu Zheng was an injured and unlucky ghost, who would have thought that Liu Zheng was actually Liu Xiang's son.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Liu Xiang is a thief rampaging in the South China Sea after all, although he has died on the battlefield, but the five sea ships he left Liu Zheng are intact.
In this way, Liu Zheng partnered with Yu Xiang to do business!
This first vote is the port of Busan in North Korea!
Who made the port of Busan an an important base for Chung Ji-ryong in North Korea?
Only by uprooting the stronghold, Yu Xiang and Liu Zheng can make their business bigger!
The pirates were in high spirits, and after they went ashore, they were overwhelmed, and soon surrounded all the Koreans in one place, as for whether to kill or release, their own superiors considered, and all they wanted was to rest.
Before today, no one could have imagined that Busan would be in the woes of today.
When the neighboring North Korean soldiers and horses heard the news, they saw a devastated port.
The military general Cui Jinyuan had a gloomy face, and he asked coldly to the official in front of him, "Whose man is this?" Didn't Zheng Zhilong guarantee the safety of the port? ”
The North Korean official with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes was shocked: "My lord, this matter should not be Zheng Zhilong's doing."
"Who else could he be? The king is still waiting for news from me, and I can't hide it for long."
"My lord, there is an accident at the port, the most anxious person should be Zheng Zhilong, I believe that he will give your lord an explanation"
Cui Jinyuan was noncommittal, "I hope so, tomorrow I will report this matter to the king, if Zheng Zhilong really wants to do business, he had better find out the murderer, otherwise, this black cauldron can only be carried by him!" ”
The officials who Zheng Zhilong bought were drenched in cold sweat, and he knew that if he said a few more words, Cui Jinyuan would most likely kill him.
There is a mistake in the port, and it is the time when the scapegoat is needed, who knows if Cui Jinyuan will kill the killer......
The next day, Cui Jinyuan did not dare to be careless, and he reported what happened at the port to the royal court.
It also takes three or five days to travel from Wangcheng to Busan in time, and such a long time is enough for Zheng Zhilong to find out the truth.
In fact, on the first day of the attack on Busan, Zheng Zhilong's eyeliner began to search for clues.
Three days later, Zheng's sailors discovered a valuable clue: when Liu Zheng's fleet docked at the port, someone had accidentally lost a weapon, and this weapon was the weapon issued by Liu Xiang for his subordinates.
The truth was revealed, and the matter was done by Liu Xiangyu in order to take revenge on Zheng Zhilong.
There was a half-month sea journey from Pusan to Quanzhou, during which Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, Yu Xiang had already returned to Huang County.
In order to prevent the leakage of information, Yu Xiang bought the land near the port.
Shipbuilding and military training are already Yuxiang's daily work.
On this day, a team of uninvited guests came around.
Before he could get closer, a commotion came, "Anyone who comes stops, if you dare to take a rash step, there will be no mercy!" ”
The county lieutenant of Huang County had a gloomy face, "This official is the county lieutenant of Huang County, let the proprietor of your family come to answer."
Yu Xiang is neither humble nor arrogant, "Yu is here, I don't know what advice the adults have?" ”
"A few days ago, a gang of pirates attacked the port of Pusan in North Korea, have you ever heard of this?"
Yu Xiang was still pretending to be garlic, "Isn't the overlord of the sea Zheng Zhilong?" Who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? ”
"Someone moved"
Yu Xiang was speechless, "Come on, quickly open the courtyard door, let the county lieutenant enter the hospital, don't let people say that we don't understand hospitality"
The county lieutenant of Huangxian County was indeed a little tired, and after receiving Yu Xiang's invitation, he sat on the main seat with a big grin.
Yu Xiang just smiled and didn't refute.
Busan is a large port in North Korea, and after dividing the stolen goods, Yu Xiang got 10,000 taels of silver......
At this time, Zheng Zhilong bought the official mansion and came to the door, and Yu Xiang naturally wanted to deny it.
Liu Zheng's sea ships were weak, and once they encountered Zheng Zhilong's big ship, they did not dare to take any measures except to flee......
In fact, the county lieutenant of Huangxian County has no conclusive evidence, just relying on a weapon to take people, this is the style of thieves, now, Yu Xiang is a few "big households" in Huangxian County, there is no conclusive reason, even the county lieutenant does not dare to punish at will.
So, after Yu Xiang gave a "generous gift", the county lieutenant Shi Shiran left, and he also got the next place to fight the autumn breeze, and the business was very busy.
The news of the attack on Busan, the royal city of Joseon, reached the ears of the Joseon king.
"Busan is my North Korean city, and thieves dare to plunder, it's really damned!"
Joseon Yushi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty is pressing forward step by step in the north, and this sea route is our financial route, will this be done by the Ming people?" ”
The idea of his subordinates' brains was terrifying, and the king of Joseon was furious: "Mingren? The Ming court refused to send even a single soldier, and it was really hateful to dare to come and harass me at this time! ”
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to send an envoy to Shengjing and the capital to find out the intentions of Huang Taiji and the Ming Dynasty Son of Heaven before making a decision."
The king of Joseon gritted his teeth: "Isn't there any other way?" This king wants to wipe out all the pirates."
"The king must not, Zheng Zhilong's family has become bigger, and now they are already a tyrant on the sea, and at this time, they will have a bad relationship with them, and the consequences will be unimaginable"
The king of Joseon was furious: "This is not good, that is not good, you should tell me what this king can do!" ”
"The king is angry, the Han people have a story about lying down and tasting courage, does the king want to hear it?"
The king of Joseon was furious, but did not refuse.
Ten years later, the defeated Yue State turned defeat into victory and destroyed the old enemy Wu State in one fell swoop.
The imperial history of Joseon slowly told this allusion, and he hoped that the king of Joseon would be able to learn from King Yue after hearing it and endure the humiliation.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, the king of Joseon just frowned, and said in his mouth: "Gou Jian is indeed ruthless enough, ruthless to himself, ruthless to his subordinates, and ruthless to the enemy, however, I am more concerned, after the king of Yue destroyed Wu, what happened to the Yue country?" ”
The imperial history of Joseon was embarrassed: "This is another allusion to the Han people, the cunning rabbit died, the lackey cooked, the left arm and right arm of the king of Yue, Fan Li left the Yue country, and the Yue country quickly declined."
The king of Joseon said disdainfully: "In this way, Goujian, the king of Yue, is not a successful person, I don't want to learn from him."
"What does the king want?"
The king of Joseon gritted his teeth: "The Ming court whip is beyond the reach, most of them can't take care of us, this king wants to form an alliance with the Qing country!" ”
In the minds of the Koreans, the Ming Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire after all, and the Qing Dynasty is just a barbarian, and the barbarian alliance and abandon the Ming Dynasty is unacceptable in the eyes of the Korean imperial history.
The king of Joseon had a gloomy face, "No matter how strong the Ming army is, it is limited, otherwise, Azig will not go on a rampage, like entering a no-man's land!" ”
The imperial history of Joseon wanted to persuade again, but he saw the king of Joseon raise his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, you send someone to summon the envoy of the Qing Kingdom."
The imperial history of Joseon had no choice but to agree.
After a stick of incense, the Qing envoy came to the palace of the Joseon king.
The king of Joseon seemed impatient, and when he came up, he went straight to the point, saying: "If Korea and the Qing Dynasty join forces to fight against the Ming court, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Qing Kingdom can draw?" ”
The envoy was greatly surprised, he tried his best to control the doubts in his heart, and just said: "There are 100,000 armored men in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Khan gives an order, 350,000 horses will not be a problem!" ”
I thought that this number was already exaggerated, but who would have thought that the king of Joseon was still a little dissatisfied, "Is there only so many?" ”
"This is already a very sincere number, King, you know, it is almost winter"
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.
Just suffered a big loss in Busan, the king of Joseon is unwilling to swallow his anger, he does not do Goujian, he just wants to take revenge on the spot, then, Qingguo has become the most sincere choice.
In fact, at this time, it no longer matters whether the truth is true or not, and all the king of Joseon wants is an excuse to join forces with the Qing state.
As long as there is communication, the next surrender is not an unacceptable thing.
Thinking of this, the king of Joseon whispered: "I heard that the court intends to get involved in the sea trade."
The messenger was startled: "What? When did this happen? ”
"Three days ago"
"Oops, I'll need to tell Baylor soon"
Since the ban on the Ming Dynasty, pirates from all walks of life have controlled the profits of the sea trade, and after a tragic fight, Zheng Zhilong has become the leading leader in the Chinese Sea.
At this time, Ming Ting's involvement in the sea route will inevitably make Zheng Zhilong make a temptation.
The Qing court did not have sea vessels, so it was naturally like facing a great enemy.
If you want to take the Central Plains, you must first take North Korea!
"Only the Qing Dynasty can rescue the murderer behind the Busan Port, and this king is willing to form an alliance"
"Okay, I'll tell the king what he wants."
"Go ahead!"
The envoy traveled hundreds of miles, and finally saw Shuotuo, who had rushed to hear the news.
"Baylor, great joy"
"Oh? What's the joy? ”
"The King of Joseon is willing to form an alliance"
Not mentioning the king of Joseon, Shuotuo was not angry, as soon as the envoy mentioned it, he felt angry, "When the Khan was proclaimed emperor, the Korean envoys Luo Xian and Li Kuo refused to bow down, who instructed this?" ”
The envoy was drenched in cold sweat, "Baylor, in my opinion, the king of Joseon has changed his mind, and he really wants to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty."
Shuoto was noncommittal, "It's late, the khan has already decided to send troops to attack Korea!" ”
If this is the case, the messenger's preliminary work will be in vain.
How sad is it that all the hard work has been wasted?
However, in the face of the high-flying Shuoto, the messenger didn't even dare to let out a fart!
Unlike Shuotuo, who is in a complicated mood, Yuxiang in Huangxian is in a particularly happy mood.
Even if there are no statistics, the extra mountains of all kinds of goods, even gold, silver and jewelry, are accurately telling Yu Xiang: You have made a fortune!
Before setting out on the expedition, Wang Teng made it very clear that half of the gains from the battlefield were owned by the soldiers.
So, Yu Xiang issued a reward order, and both the soldiers and the crew received a rich reward.
The rocking and sailing are all high-spirited and complacent.
The North Korean army was vulnerable, and if it weren't for Yu Xiang's willingness to rest, it would be impossible to say that the soldiers would have already plundered another seaport.
The cautious Yu Xiang did not get carried away, he knew that what he had done in Busan had already taken a stagger, and it was impossible to loot easily.
No one knows if Zheng Zhilong will come to the door, before that, his military horse must recuperate and make adequate preparations.
The Zheng family army is extremely vicious, and once it encounters it, it must be a vicious battle.
As a result, in the past few days, the first military order issued by Yu Xiang was martial law in Hong Kong, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will without his orders.
Poke out such a big basket in North Korea, a little careless, and he may not recover, and then he will face not only the North Koreans and Zheng Zhilong, but also the Ming Court!
The port siege was only one of the measures taken by Yuxiang, who recruited a large number of coolies in order to increase its combat strength, and the construction of the port was difficult without the local natives who were familiar with the geography.
If there is natives to help, everything will be done with half the effort.
After some planning, Yuxiang divided the port into two parts, the west port is a military port, which is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and the east port is a commercial port and resumes traffic.
The construction of the port is a huge project, and even if there is enough money, it will take many years to build it completely with the help of people and animals.
Yu Xiang was extremely impatient, and after wandering around the sea, he suddenly realized that the sea was the most suitable place for him...... (To be continued.) )
