Just when Liu Xiaoyuan and Liang Chongru were stirring up the storm in Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo.

The vicinity of Jeju Fortress is in full swing, as if it has become a large construction site.

Towns that provide work and life for 100,000 or 200,000 people have begun to take shape. The town was built on the left side of Jeju City, near the sea. It is divided into three parts: the city area, the workshop area and the barracks area.

The city port area, which includes the original Jeju commercial port and wharf, is now being expanded according to the plan formulated by Hwang Se-gui and several Huang family treasurers and stewards. Everywhere there is land that has just been leveled, or half-laid foundations, and then hastily built improvised houses and roads.

The small workers were busy under the command of the shopkeepers and stewards of the trading houses who were clinging to them in silk. The laborers who worked in the Shibo area were all pirates or Pujia thugs who had been captured in the naval battle a few days ago. Therefore, around the construction site, there were stubborn military generals watching, and there were also righteous instructors who were in charge of managing the concentration camp on Jeju Island. From time to time, he shouted a few words: "Work harder, build the market area as soon as possible, and your sins can be atonement earlier, so that you can have a good life in the future!" ”

"The camp management department has an order to carry out labor competition, which team is the first to complete the target, add a piece of meat to each person for dinner, and give two taels of wine!"

"That squad can't be finished, everyone will be punished, everyone will starve! Those who want to drink wine and eat meat are more nimble! ”

"Okay, we must work hard!"

∧ "We must not be lazy......"

"Good job!"

The busy people answered loudly, and the speed of work increased a little. Who would have thought that among these men who are working hard. A few people were still the big thieves along the coast of the famous town of Da Song a month ago! There are boats and brothers under his hands. I don't know how happy I am to do some cheap business on the sea. Now he is a coolie! You have to be careful to speak. Sell enough strength to work.

Otherwise......

Zhou Xiaoqi raised his eyes and looked at the corpse nailed to the wooden tun outside the construction site, took a deep breath, and waved the mallet in his hand again.

Those corpses were still alive a few days ago, and some of them were still working with him during the day, complaining together at night, and plotting together to seize the boat and escape! Later, Zhou Xiaoqi was cautious when the matter came to the end, and did not follow.

As a result, the men were stripped naked early the next morning. He tied a rope and led him to the construction site and crucified him alive in public......

"It's so brutal!" Zhou Xiaoqi's ears seemed to sound the wails of those people when they were dying again! It was a voice he would never forget for the rest of his life. Because he almost became one of them himself!

"Zhou Xiaoqi!" A voice rang out, very soft, without the slightest malice. But to Zhou Xiaoqi's ears, it seemed to be a magic voice urging the soul to snatch his life.

"Zhang, Master Zhang! Small, small one, please be good! ”

Zhou Xiaoqi turned around tremblingly, and when he saw Zhang Jiu smiling in front of him, he knelt down with a puff. The scene of Zhang Jiu smiling and letting people crucify people alive with wooden toons suddenly appeared in his mind!

Among them, there was a white fan who cursed Chen Dexing. asked Zhang Jiu to personally skin him alive with a knife...... In front of all the captives!

The human skin was also treated with salt and salt water, stuffed with straw and hung at the gate of the concentration camp!

"Get up." Zhang Jiu still looks very polite, recently he feels that many people are afraid of him and are unwilling to associate with him. So I decided to change my style - I should be kind, even if I nailed the person to the wooden tsubaki alive, I should ask the person with a smile if it hurts......

"How's your injury? Does it still hurt? Zhang Jiu asked kindly. A month ago, Zhou Xiaoqi took more than 1,000 pirates who had been improvised and wanted to go to Jeju City for a "visit". Retrieving the goods at the Jeju trading port, he was confronted by a hundred patrolling cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The cavalry defeated more than 1,000 men with a single charge. Zhou Xiaoqi's head also bloomed - he was lightly knocked on the back of a saber. It's not a big deal. But when Zhang Jiu asked like this, Zhou Xiaoqi's legs and stomach trembled even more. I can't even speak.

"No, it's okay......" Zhou Xiaoqi replied in a trembling voice.

"Oh," Zhang Jiu smiled and glanced at Zhou Xiaoqi, who was already about to faint. Wen Yan said: "Seventh brother, are you free?" ”

"Yes, there is ......"

"Come with me." Zhang Jiu made a move.

Zhou Xiaoqi's head buzzed, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat - he had participated in the escape plot a few days ago. Although he didn't really run, he couldn't escape the crime of participating in the conspiracy if he didn't report it! If you don't get crucified alive, you have to have your head cut off, right? What can I do? Do you want to run......

Zhou Xiaoqi was pondering whether to fight with Zhang Jiu to break the net. Zhang Jiu smiled again and said: "Don't be nervous, it's not good for you to let the general see you like this, and the general doesn't want to use you even if he wants to." ”

The "general" is Chen Dexing! Although Chen Dexing already has the title of King of Han, he doesn't attach much importance to it, and still asks his subordinates to call him "general".

"Will you see me?" Zhou Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Dexing wouldn't kill him if he wanted to see him...... He is a pirate leader, and if he wants to kill him, there is no need for a character like Chen Dexing to see him. But don't kill ...... How valuable is he as a pirate leader?

"I heard you can steer a spinnaker?"

Zhang Jiu walked in front, Zhou Xiaoqi followed step by step, and there was a soldier behind the two of them.

"A little bit ......" Zhou Xiaoqi once grabbed a dhow, and played for a while, and learned how to operate soft sails and sail in headwinds from the white sailors he caught, but he was not very proficient.

"You're still going to say white words?"

"Not all," Zhou Xiaoqi said, "There are many kinds of white fans, and their words are different, but there are two kinds of more popular ones, one is the words of the big food country...... I'll say a little bit about this; If the second is Latin America, I won't be able to do this......"

Being a pirate is also something to learn! Zhou Xiaoqi is a thief who is good at learning, and can speak Arabic, Japanese, and Korean. If it is placed in the next generation, it will be a big white-collar worker of a foreign company.

"I can sail soft, I can sail against the wind, and I can speak plain...... All right! Brother Qi'er, the general will definitely use you, you must do it well, follow the general, and you will not be afraid of no wealth in the future. ”

Zhang Hongfan said words of encouragement as he walked. There is no need to talk about Han nationalism with a pirate leader like Zhou Xiaoqi, and it is useless to say it, so it is better to talk more about the future of wealth and wealth. This is not a big pie fooling Zhou Xiaoqi. Chen Dexing's future as the emperor is already clear! Even the Goryeo people saw that Zhao Fu had not yet sent an envoy, and the privy deputy envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, Liu Xuan, came with gifts to discuss the major matter of uniting against Mongolia.

"The Privy Envoy of the Koreans is still inside, so let's wait here."

When Zhang Jiu led Zhou Xiaoqi to the Northland to recruit the government office, Liu Yu was still talking to Chen Dexing in the festival hall. The two could only wait under the porch outside the festival hall to be summoned.

……

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, Mongolia has attacked our country for more than 30 years, killed countless of our people, destroyed hundreds of our cities, and forced our monarchs and ministers to live in exile on Jianghua Island for 30 years. In Goryeo, both military and civilian, they all hate Mongolia! Now the Mongol thieves heard that the king's soldiers had arrived in Jeju, so they looked at the wind and left. The 3,000 Mongol troops stationed in Kaekyung, Xijing (Pyongyang) and other places have all marched north. The 72 Daru Huachi stationed in our country also fled. The monarchs and people of our country are all happy, and they are willing to form an alliance with the king to fight against Mongolia! In order to express the sincerity of our country, our country is willing to borrow Jeju Island, Jindo, Ganghwa Island and Dawang to garrison troops, and we are also willing to marry the lord of Gyeong'an Palace to the king as a side concubine, and in the future, the two countries will be each other's in-laws, and the alliance will be forever ......"

The one who was gushing to Chen Dexing to express his friendship with the Goryeo State was none other than Yoo Su, the general of the Goryeo State and the deputy privy envoy. The half-old man in his fifties is very well maintained, his beard is black and oily, his face is white and red, and his speech is full of neutrality. He also speaks fluently in the Central Plains Yayin, and his dress is no different from that of the Southern Song Dynasty scholars.

He departed from Kaegyong five days ago, went to Ganghwa Island, and then went south as a sea boat, and only arrived at Jeju Island this morning. Naturally, he was the envoy of the king of Goryeo, and he brought a lot of gifts and letters from the king of Goryeo to see Chen Dexing. After meeting, after a few words of greeting, he went straight to the topic and talked about the joint war.

Hearing the conditions proposed by this Liu Xu, Chen Dexing was also a little overjoyed. Ganghwa Island and Zhendo Island were originally wanted to be taken by Chen Dexing, and as for whether they were ceded or leased, it was just a name. Of course, it is also a good thing to unite Goryeo to crusade against Mongolia, and by the way, you can also get a palace master of Goryeo, even if you are ugly, you can raise more people, in case it is a beauty......

It's just that...... Are things really that smooth? Goryeo has been beaten by the Mongols for more than 30 years, and he is really not afraid at all, so he is willing to follow him to fight the Mongols?

Chen Dexing turned his head to look at his mastermind Zhao Fu, and the old man nodded lightly, meaning to let Chen Dexing agree first - even if the Goryeo people have any tricks, it is always good to take down Ganghwa Island and Zhendao without blood.

"That's great!" Chen Dexing laughed heartily, "Jianghua Island is a lot closer to Liaodong, if you start from Jianghua Island, you can reach Liaodong in half a day if you have a tailwind." Once we had built a city in Liaodong, the Mongols would no longer have the strength to invade Goryeo. ”

Liu Yu stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "That's, that'...... I, from all over Goryeo, are looking forward to the king being able to send troops to Liaotu as soon as possible. If the king needs military rations, the Goryeo Kingdom can first subsidize 100,000 quintals of rice grain. As for the people, they can also give 20,000 or 30,000, and they can also let the three other troops go out together. After the Mongols were defeated, the Goryeo Kingdom only wanted to recover the land south of the Yalu River and then form an alliance with the great king. (To be continued......)
