In the castle tower of Yanyuan Jinshi Castle on Manan Island, Zong Yicheng, who is less than 25 years old this year, presided over the assessment, and Zong Yicheng, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, finally entered the evaluation room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Chuan pouted secretly, he was never afraid of Zong Yicheng since he was a child, Zong Yicheng just has a good father, he Liuchuan family has been the head of the Zong family for several generations, and he has made great contributions to the Tsushima Domain, but he is still a minister.

Yanagawa Tiaoxing, who has always had lofty ambitions, is really unconvinced, and today's world is not the turbulent Warring States Era, but it is still feasible to replace it with a lower gram.

Yes, the target of Yanagawa was Matsumae Kohiro of the Matsumae Domain, both a desolate place on the frontier and a retainer, and Matsumae Kohiro had snatched control of the southern part of the Ezo Sect from the Ando clan, so the shogunate recognized it as the Matsumae Domain, and the lower Keshang succeeded. Yanagawa Choxing wanted to seize the Tsushima Domain, highlight the family name, and pass it on to future generations.

The biggest reliance on Yanagawa to be able to compete with Zong Yoshicheng as a retainer is not his own hundreds of troops, but the behavior of the Zong family in order to collude with the Joseon and the shogunate, and privately collude to change the shogunate's documents, which is a big crime, and he and Zong Yoshicheng know it.

Although it was not Zong Yoshinai's decision to do this, however, Zong Yoshisei's father, Zong Yoshitoshi, and his grandfather, Yanagawa Shonobu, jointly discussed this method, giving Joseon and the shogunate the opportunity to come down the ladder to contact, and to change the situation of the two countries severing diplomatic relations after the Battle of Keicho Fumiro, and the two countries made a relationship through the Ma Domain.

However, they also left the responsibility of colluding to alter the documents without permission, and now the two families are afraid that the other party's denunciation will cause a monstrous disaster.

Zong Yicheng looked coldly at Liuchuan Tiaoxing, who was thin and small, and his own Shigao only had more than 20,000 yuan, of course, this is only Zhixing, not counting the income from trade with North Korea, but the Zong family rewarded the Liuchuan family with 2,000 stone fiefdoms, and also allowed the Liuchuan family to keep two ships for trade in Korea. These are all merchant ships that can enter and leave North Korea several times a year, and they are very profitable.

But Yanagawa is still not satisfied, he is really insatiable, and he really doesn't know how the wise Yanagawa is so greedy and stupid grandson. Even if his father made the decision to marry his sister to Yanagawa Choxing, it would not change his ambitions.

"Get up." Zong Yicheng sat down and spoke.

The retainers agreed to stand up and sit upright.

"Yesterday, I received an order from General Zhengyi, ordering us to find out the truth of the Jeju Ming people as soon as possible. At the same time, I was ordered to rearm Tsushima for war. Zong Yicheng looked around at everyone and said.

"I ordered Yamamoto to send thirty more ships to explore Jeju Island. Report as soon as possible. Zong Yicheng ordered.

"Obey the order, and the subordinates will find out the truth as soon as possible." The ship's director, Yamamoto Dogafudi, replied.

"Zong Yiming. I order you to summon the Ashigaru training to await the shogunate's orders. Zong Yicheng turned to his cousin.

As a general, Zong Yiming took the order.

"Liuchuan is rejoicing, I order you to form a three-hundred-strong army and return to Zong Yiming to lead the whole training." Zong Yicheng looked at Yanagawa playfully.

"Yes." Liuchuan was relieved to accept the order, and the Liuchuan family was only 400 ashiba, and it was said that it was difficult to raise 200 troops with 2,000 stones, which were all formed with the proceeds of trade.

Zong Yicheng used most of the Yanagawa family's military strength as soon as he moved, which really made Yanagawa feel a pain in his liver, but this was the order of General Zhengyi. Zong Yicheng took advantage of this, and Liu Chuan was helpless, this is the righteousness of the main family, and Liu Chuan can only endure it.

"Imagawa Mingichi, form a two-hundred-hundred-strong army and hand it over to Zong Yoshiaki for training." Zong Yicheng ordered.

Imagawa, who was the generation of the Golden Stone Castle.

"Junichi Hayakawa, with the help of the Busan Merchant House, found out the details of the people through the North Koreans." Zong Yicheng commanded.

"Yes." The castle town pursued the Hayakawa Junichi subterfuge response.

"My lord, Jeju has harvested two seasons of sweet potatoes this year, both of which are bumper harvests. The yield per mu can reach three and a half stones, and the Jeju government office used silver taels to purchase more than 500,000 stone of sweet potatoes. 34,000 stone of corn, and the granaries of Jeju, Seogwi, Daejeong, Seongsan, and other places are piled up. Bai Shidi reported to Zhao Lie quite proudly.

The Jeju Government Office, this is Cho Yeol's assessment meeting on the political affairs of Jeju Island, as the actual presiding officer of the civil affairs, Bai Shidi is still extremely proud, according to the North Koreans, Jeju has never had such a bumper harvest.

"Your Excellency. We and other Jeju islanders have never harvested so much grain, and the adults have released our officials and slaves, divided the land and fields for us and other untouchables, and allocated seeds and mules and horses, so that we can have a bumper harvest. People all over Jeju praised the Ming people. As the current head of the Department of North Korean Affairs, Li Xuanjing said.

As a North Korean who tried his best to get close to the Ming people and be flexible in his knowledge, Wan Ji would of course set such an example, and after Jeju established the Korean Affairs Department, Baek Shidi served as the director, and Ri Hyun and Song Chul became the deputy directors, that is, the actual managers.

Today they are the first time to join the evaluation meeting of the Wise Master, of course, the mood is agitated, this is the rhythm of being recognized, and finally joined the circle of the upper Ming Lord.

"Li Xuan, are you exaggerating?" Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"My lord, there is no exaggeration, I think that most of the people of Jeju Islander are official slaves and private slaves, and now they are all commoners, and they have a share of the land, even the tenant Mingren has set a maximum of 40% of the tenant rent, this year's harvest, every family has living money, most of them subsidize the family, some make some new clothes, and some rebuild new houses, it is really a grand occasion that Jeju has never had." Li Xuan confessed excitedly, extremely excited.

Li Xuan was wronged, he may have been exaggerated in the past, but now he remembers not to repeat the crime, and now the islanders of Jeju Island are so praised.

"My lord, there is no big omission in what Li Xuan said, this year's harvest, every family has surplus grain, surplus money, a lot of it is taken out to buy items, build new houses, and now the cement and iron brought by the fleet here have increased greatly, in addition to cloth, jewelry and other groceries have also increased greatly, Luo Changshan, who has been transported here to sell, is smiling from ear to ear." Wanji laughed.

"Yes, my lord, many of my families in Jeju have set up tablets for the Ming people, and they pray for blessings every day." Song Zhe said cautiously.

"Oh, who are the tablets for?" Zhao Lie was quite interested.

"My lord, well," Song Zhe hesitated slightly, "Some are Lord Bai, some are Lord Ma, some are Emperor Daming, and some are dedicated to the Ming Emperor." ”

Zhao Lie laughed, "This is very good, today they are all citizens of the same country, and the Jeju government will not interfere with what the people of Jeju do." ”

Of course, Zhao Lie is happy that all the people have returned to their hearts, many of the common people do not know their home and country, they only know who can bring a good life for themselves, and now the Ming people are in Jeju but the people are returning to their hearts.

Zhao Lie and Huang Han looked at each other, it was time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Jeju is close to the Wa Kingdom, which has always been predatory, I have ordered Jeju to establish a reserve military service system. Starting from today, Chengding, who is between the ages of 18 and 35, will be trained for three months every year during the winter leisure period, and the soldiers will be sent by the Broken Army for training, and one tael of silver will be paid every month during the three-month period. In the future, the reserve soldiers are the garrison of Jeju, to assist the Broken Army to garrison Jeju, if there is a foreign invasion, immediately form a team to participate in the war, and when participating in the war, the military salary will be calculated according to one tael of silver per month, and if there are casualties, it will be treated according to the pension of the Broken Army, and you can enter the Martyrs' Shrine and enjoy the incense sacrifice. Zhao Lie said loudly. From now on, it will be led by the Jeju Government Office and implemented by the Department of Breaking the Army and North Korean Affairs. ”

The crowd agreed.

Zhao Lie has been waiting for this day, the neighboring Wa Kingdom is bloodthirsty, Jeju is the foundation connecting Daming and Beihua Island, and the Broken Army has attacked Ezo again, and the Wa State will not be able to tolerate it, and the two sides will fight sooner or later.

Due to the limited financial resources of the country, it was impossible to expand the army indefinitely, and it was divided into two places, Jeju and Bakhwa Island, so it became inevitable to establish a reserve military service system in Jeju and Bukhwa.

The first is to reserve soldiers for the Broken Army, after all, after all, they are much stronger after the whole training, and the second is that they are enough as a garrison force after the whole training. It was established at the time of the return of the islanders to the harvest and was also established to establish a foundation for the implementation of Beihua Island.

"Bai Shidi, Li Xuan, Song Zhe, remember, the establishment of this reserve army is to keep their family business, and no one wants the Japanese and Li Chao to come and take away their acres of private property and return to the situation of slaves and maids. We need to do a good job on this. Zhao Lie admonished.

Bai Shidi, Li Xuan, and Song Zhe bowed down to receive the order.

"If there were people who did not want to do military service, they would have been sent back to North Korea by boat." Of course, Zhao Lie is an iron-fisted promoter, and those who don't follow will not be killed, but you can not be the people here.

"Yes." Several people finally realized Zhao Lie's determination.

The next day, the reserve military service system was rolled out on the whole island, and in order to successfully complete the task arranged by Zhao Lie, the Broken Prisoner Army dispatched a thousand headquarters in Jeju, five hundred in the west and five hundred in Seongsan, and dozens of clerks from the Korean Affairs Department were dispatched to cooperate with the Broken Army to go deep into the villages to preach and rectify.

All the low-level people in Jeju have no confrontation, and it is really not a matter to train for three months every year, and when they are slaves and maids, they have been working as cattle and horses for many years, which is more tiring and dangerous than this, not to mention that the Ming people also give money back, and even some people are complacent about getting extra money.

However, some large and small landlords are different, they themselves or their sons and nephews also have to serve, this is what they find difficult to accept, not to mention, the arrival of the broken army, they have no big harvest, just because of the harvest more tenant rent, but cut off the connection with the blood relatives of the powerful and powerful in their country, of course, they are dissatisfied.

"Give this letter to the person who came and tell him to leave the island and return to Jeonju as soon as possible." Park Yong-tae told the housekeeper in his study.

Choi Hao, the Jeonju Mu with whom he had a relationship half a month ago, sent someone to enter Dajing from the sea pretending to be a fisherman, found his door, and asked him to help Li Chao find out the strength of the Ming army, who the main commander was, and the situation of the fleet.

However, in recent days, the reserve military service law has been implemented, and he has been assigned his sons and nephews to the untouchables for training, which is a completely shameless thing, and Park Yongtai can no longer bear it, and finally wrote a letter to Jeonju about the five or six thousand regular soldiers and twenty or thirty Xiyi warships on the Ming army island.

"Master, this is a head-off thing. This... The butler knelt down and persuaded.

"Needless to say, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the master is really unwilling to submit to the thief." Park Yong-tae gritted his teeth.

The housekeeper had no choice but to go out to the firewood room in the backyard to find the two spies who had been hiding there for many days.

In the dim darkness of the night, the butler, who thought he was very careful, did not notice a pair of eyes staring at him from afar. (To be continued.) )
