Chapter 212: The First Victory of the Korean Army
The battle was one-sided, with the North Korean army besieging from three sides, while the south side was a steep slope with a rushing stream below, and in the face of death, the Karamo tribe, led by the patriarch, fought back decisively, howling and brandishing weapons and rushed towards the phalanx of the Korean army.

But their long and short swords, spears and axes faced a forest of spears, and they hit their heads and broke their blood, and the Anui people were constantly pierced by the spears and fell to the ground and let out a dying cry, scattering the birds and beasts of the surrounding mountains and forests.
Some Anui people desperately threw axes and broadswords at the Korean soldiers, which also caused several Korean soldiers to be killed and wounded, but it could not change the big situation, when the gun array continued to spread death, and more than half of the Anui were killed in battle, they collapsed.
The remaining Anui turned and ran towards the steep slope to the south, where they slid down the stream.
Under the order of the Wei landlord, dozens of archers fired arrows at the fleeing Anui people, firing the bow more than ten times, in the ringing of the bowstring, hundreds of flying feathers fell high, and the Anui people continued to die in the slope and the stream, only more than ten people finally escaped along the stream, and the patriarch father and son were wearing leather armor and lying on the slope with several arrows on their backs to fight for their lives, and the leather armor on their bodies was too conspicuous, which made them the target of archers.
Li Xuan did not order to go down to count, and the last dead Anui were evenly distributed among dozens of archers, and the Korean soldiers had no objections, so there was really no way to know who shot them, it was a bad debt at all.
The total number of Anui who died in the battle array was screened for a long time, and at this time there was no desire to let go, only to fight, which was a matter of reward and fifty acres of land. There is no possibility of humility at all. There were even two soldiers who clashed over who had stabbed an Anui in front of them. The waist knife has been drawn.
Li Xuan was furious, as a former Korean nobleman, he hated the ugliness of his own soldiers, and the Ming army generals were here, which made all the Korean soldiers lose face, and it may also make the Ming people more and more distrustful of the Korean garrison.
Li Xuan immediately ordered the two of them to be beaten with twenty military sticks, and then divided the quota equally among the two people, and his handling made Landlord Wei nod secretly. In this North Korean army, Li Xuan is the most intelligent and insightful.
The soldiers rested for half an hour, gathered the eight soldiers who were killed and the seven soldiers who were wounded, Li Xuan left dozens of soldiers to take care of the wounded and clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the four hundred soldiers drove directly to the garrison of the Karamo tribe under the leadership of the Anui guides, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
By noon the next day, the soldiers had eaten and rested in the caramo tribe's hut, and of course the corpses of nearly 200 caramo men were scattered around the tribe's station, and all the men who had crossed their waists were removed. Because Ma Quanfu, the head town of Beihua, ordered that the men who were too high in the waist of the Anui people should be counted in the number of rewards.
"My lord, there are more than 500 Anui women and children here. I don't know what to do. "A deputy Qian surnamed Pu asked for instructions.
Li Xuan hesitated slightly, and Landlord Wei said,
"Lord Han, the Beihua administrative secretary sent a letter, the young children were sold to the attached Anui tribe, and the women were all taken to Bangmao Port and shipped to Jeju."
"Oh, that's what the lieutenant said." Li Xuan spoke.
This campaign made the Korean soldiers earn a lot of money, they were satisfied, the silver was there, and a lot of gold and silver judgments were collected from the camp, and Xuntian also had hope, which could be regarded as a full return.
Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, this battle proved that the Korean garrison army is still a team that can fight, and Lord Zhao will also be satisfied, although, well, it is only the nomadic Anui who are defeated in disheveled armor.
A fleet of eight Fu boats sailed along the west coast of Beihua Island, and Luo Changshan's fleet traveled along the west coast of the southern tip of Beihua Island, encountering many Japanese fishing boats along the way, as well as a few customs boats and small morning boats.
Seeing the fleet flying the flag of the Broken Army, these ships hurriedly dodged, which made Luo Changshan proud, the stronger the Broken Army's power, the more profitable it was for a businessman like him who was attached to the Broken Army.
Over the years, Luo Changshan earned more than 100,000 taels of silver in many businesses such as the introduction of Liao people, the purchase of horses, grain, logs, and coal, but he did not stop, but ordered more than ten lucky ships and hired hundreds of sailors, and he was convinced that the day of making a fortune was ahead.
A few days later, when he came to Fangmao Port, he was also stunned by the newly built city, which was not a big town from the boat, but the new city that had been built in just two years showed the ambition of Lord Zhao.
Yes, ambition, Luo Changshan is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, otherwise he would not go around camping and looking for business opportunities, he knows very well the time and money it takes to build this city, and those who do not have big ambitions will not act like this, which also makes him firmly believe that following in the footsteps of Lord Zhao is the wisest decision he has made in his life.
After the inspection of the sentinel boat, Luo Changshan's ship docked first, and he immediately sent someone to Hongtai's shop to inform him that he, the proprietor of Hongtai, had arrived.
During the meal, Wen Bonian, the big shopkeeper of Luo Changshan stationed in Fangmao Port, led a few guys to greet him.
"Master, how did you come to Beihua at this time, and you know me before you have anything to do, and I will wait for you at the dock every day." Wen Bonian smiled and bowed.
"Bonian, let's not talk about these false courtesies, master, I also have a big business this time." When he ran away from Macau, the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper under Luo Changshan were not optimistic about going north, and they all resigned, and only the third shopkeeper Wen Bonian was righteous enough to accompany Luo Changshan to the north.
Luo Changshan appointed Wen Bonian as the big treasurer, the first two years were also busy for his Luo family, Luo Changshan gave a lot of rewards every year, last year Luo Changshan expected hundreds of thousands of people to enter Beihua, according to Zhao Daren's division of land, Beihua will appear a lot of people with income, so Luo Changshan let Wen Bonian go to Fangmao Port to sit down, and promised Wen Bonian one-tenth of the dry shares.
"Master, what are the things on the ship, the small ones are carried." Wen Bonian asked respectfully, he has always been a steady follower.
"I don't need too many people, although this time the Thai half ship came to Beihua with my lord, but the eight hundred Ming and Korean women from their teens to thirty years old are loaded in the four Daifuku ships, which is also a big business." Luo Changshan said with a smile.
"The lord is really as wise as a torch, and there must be at least sixty or seventy thousand lone young men on Beihua Island, which is really a big deal, but, sir, this broken army is forbidden to trade in human beings." Wen Bonian first slapped Luo Changshan, and then raised his own questions, and sure enough, he not only complimented the owner, but also raised questions.
"Well, in the words of Lord Zhao, tens of thousands of young people in Beihua must have a solution, and finally, Master Ma of Jeju proposed that businessmen can collect women to Beihua for marriage, and the man can hand over the dowry to the businessman, and the businessman will return it to the woman's family. Luo Changshan said with a smile.
In fact, it is forbidden to trade in human beings on the surface, and it is secretly carried out by marriage, and Luo Changshan does not think so, but it is not surprising that the world of the Ming people has always been like this.
"Master, the price of these women's sales, uh, how much is the dowry." Rao is Wen Bonian, who is well-informed and scratches his head.
"Of course, the gift money is more expensive for the better-looking, of course the gift money is slightly less, and the ugly-looking ones can also be a few taels of silver, these are all in your hands," Luo Changshan said,
"But, these women should be well cared for, fed and clothed, not treated evilly, the broken army is a key inspection, besides, eat better, dress well and look good, is this gift money, hehe... , This is all money, how can you treat it badly, your lord's vision is not so short-sighted. Luo Changshan said triumphantly.
"The lord has always been like a torch, and this trip to the north is a clear proof, and now the people of Macau Franco have to join forces with Lord Zhao." Wen Bonian quietly presented another note.
Luo Changshan is even more proud, he has always boasted of his long-term vision, and this sycophant is of course very useful.
Wen Bonian arrived at the wharf to find 30 laborers, and began to carry cloth, brocade, grain, ironware, and groceries from the ship.
The sea is about to be closed, and this time the sea can only be opened in four months, so the number of items transported is huge, the sailors of Hongtai are delivered on the ship, the laborers are busy under the ship, Wen Bonian is to let the guys take care of the dock, and he is to go back to Zhang Luo for the placement of 800 women.
According to the master's instructions, Hongtai built four large warehouses in Fangmao Port, as well as ten shops along the street, two of which can be vacant, but at most, more than 600 people can be placed, and there is a gap of more than 100 people.
Luo Changshan went to Fangmao Port with more than a dozen guards, and first looked at the six forts near the wharf, and the forts here were built larger than the forts in Jeju Port, which were extremely majestic, and when they entered the city, the roads were wide and the houses beside the roads were new.
Fangmao Port gives people the feeling of atmosphere, whether it is forts, roads, shops, and residences, it is much larger than Jeju, after all, Jeju City has been developed for hundreds of years, and the city, roads, and houses have been formed, which is slightly crowded, and Bangmao Port is rebuilt.
Zhao Lie took it as the foundation of Beihua's development, and a lot of materials and personnel had to be loaded and unloaded here to arrive in various parts of Beihua, so it was necessary to have a wide road. He is extremely satisfied with the location and construction of his shop, and Wen Bonian is really capable.
Luo Changshan stayed here for five days, and asked to see the chief secretary for administration, Wan Ji, and presented 3,000 taels of silver to the chief secretary in accordance with the rules of Macao. Wan Ji is having a headache because of the lack of government spending in Beihua, which can be regarded as a slight relief from embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
