Chapter 335: Blackmail

Compared with other places in the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou is another world. At this point, the red lady now has a deep understanding. After a hard day's performance, two silver dollars were collected, and thousands of copper coins were collected. This is a result that could not have been imagined in the past.

In the small restaurant on the side of the road, a small team of six people can eat two simple meals for only ten yuan, and if you want to eat better, you can eat two meals for twenty yuan, and you can eat a meat dish. The hotel is a bit expensive, a room costs 30 yuan, and there is no food.

Today's income is better than yesterday's, and the two officers were so happy to see it that they threw two silver dollars. According to the calculation of Dengzhou Qianzhuang, this is the income of 3,000 Wen. The people of Dengzhou, when they threw out the bounty, it was like rain.

In this realm, the people are dressed both well and badly, but there is one characteristic, even the clothes that are patched are washed cleanly. Dengzhou people seem to love cleanliness very much.

A group of children with school bags ran over, placed the two school bags at a distance, and then started kicking the ball with a ball. These children are not very old, some are seven or eight years old, and all are twelve years old, and they are all rejoicing in the flat land. The smiles on the children's faces are the most real, and the strength to toss shows that they are well fed.

The two girls behind the red lady looked at the children on the field with envy, and what these two girls envied was not that the children could play, but that they were envious of the clothes and shoes they were wearing. Feeling that someone was looking at her from behind, the red lady turned back in horror and saw those frivolous eyes and a familiar and hateful expression.

"Where are you looking?" Because Chen Xie is on horseback, the red lady needs to be on her back. When she found that this thing was staring at her chest, the red lady was a little annoyed, and at the same time a little secretly excited.

"I'll look wherever you think I'm going." Chen Xie said as he turned over and dismounted, walked to the edge of the field and opened his throat and shouted: "Shoot, shoot quickly,, stinky feet." "A group of children were scolded, but when they saw clearly that it was Master Chen, they were not afraid. Instead, a child stood up. He raised his waist and pointed at Chen Xie and said, "You can do it, you can come." ”

"Hey, this unlucky boy, come here, when I'm afraid of you." Chen Xie really played. The startled red lady reached out and covered her mouth. looked at the tall old man Chen. Running around the pitch with a bunch of kids. Finally, Chen Xie seized an opportunity, raised his foot and kicked a goal, and laughed proudly: "See? That's what it's called shooting. ”

But Chen Xie soon stopped laughing. Because the children looked at him with indifferent eyes, and the children guarding the door were even more complaining, Chen Xie smiled hesitantly: "Which door is not shot in?" In this way, I have a treat, I have a treat. Come on, go to Gu's shop and bring a few boxes of drinks. The children cheered, and Chen Xie, who posed for the oolong, went down with a smile.

The drink was moved, Chen Xie signaled to bring a box, opened the box and handed it to the two little girls, they didn't dare to ask for it, and hid behind the red lady. Chen Xie sighed, pointed to the children who were sharing the drinks, and said, "See, it's delicious, you can taste it too." Opening the lid of Sprite, Chen Xie handed the red box and motioned for her to drink.

After taking a sip, the red lady froze, she had never drunk such a delicious thing since she was so big. The feeling of sweetness to the heart is sweeter than honey. When she came back to her senses, Chen Xie had already got on the horse, waved at her, and left. opened her mouth to shout to stop him, but the red lady had no courage again, and could only watch him slowly disappear at the end of the road.

Qishansuo Wharf, compared to modern maps, this place is Yantai. Dengzhou Wharf is not suitable as a military port, and the original small wharf here has been rebuilt many times to become a military wharf. Nine 1,000-ton warships on the sea are waiting for the departure of the flagship Dingyuan at the moment.

At the moment when the Dingyuan left the port, the remaining eight warships of the same class fired a salute 36 times, which was the highest respect for Chen Xie. This is Chen Xie's first time leading the navy on behalf of him, although Xi Laojing is an old-fashioned soldier, it does not mean that he will not be a sycophant.

Looking at the battleships sailing in battle formations on the sea, Chen Xie put down his binoculars with satisfaction and said, "Is this my fleet?" Xi Laijing replied on the side: "It's your fleet." In two months, eight of the same warships will be added to the fleet, and in another six months, the first two-thousand-ton warship will be put into service. At that time, even in Southeast Asia, this fleet will be an invincible force. ”

Chen Xie heard his ambition and led a fleet across the seas to establish meritorious achievements. It's good to be ambitious!

"The target is Busan, let's go and settle some old accounts." Chen Xie, who was standing on the deck, raised his hand and pointed to the northeast, full of momentum.

At this time, there was an extra small boat on the sea, and a eunuch stood on the boat and waved vigorously. When Chen Xie saw clearly that it was Wang Dehua, he couldn't help muttering: "Why did this goods come here." ”

climbed onto the boat with a roll, Wang Dehua protected Chen Xie's thigh and said: "Chief soldier Chen, long live the lord said, you know that if you lead the troops to the battle, our family has to follow." If you don't bring your miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family will jump into the sea. Chen Xie sighed twice, sighed and said, "Follow it, just follow it, as long as you can resist the wind and waves." ”

Three days later, Jeolla Province was over the sea. The appearance of a huge fleet scared away a ship on the surface of the sea. Densely packed with cannon muzzles, aimed in the direction of the harbor, a small boat slowly approached the sea, and at the bow stood a North Korean official holding a white flag in his hand. Half an hour later, a young man dressed as a North Korean official climbed onto the deck with difficulty. Kneeling on the ground and shouting: "The Heavenly Empire's sailor has arrived, and Li Shengji, a minor minister of the feudal kingdom, is terrified. I wonder who is here? What are the instructions for the small domain? ”

Chen Xie didn't even look at him, and crooked his mouth at Xilaojing. The eight battleships immediately stepped forward and lined up in a line, and when the guns roared, the sea seemed to shake slightly. The officers kneeling on the deck were dumbfounded, and after watching the gunfire on one side of the eight battleships, they turned around and switched sides, and took their turns again.

"North Korea is a country not to be conquered by the Ming Taizu, isn't this lord afraid of the imperial court's punishment?" He could see clearly that Chen Xie was standing on the deck, followed by a group of officers behind him. Walking to Chen Xie, Lee Seung-gi spoke loudly.

There was already chaos in the docks, I don't know how many ships had suffered, and there was chaos in the binoculars. Chen Xie smiled with satisfaction, this smile was extremely hideous in Lee Seung Gi's eyes, like the devil's eagerness to try before seeing the food.

Bang, a notebook fell in front of Lee Seung Gi, and there was a condescending voice: "You take it back, General Ben does not accept any form of bargaining, if you can't do it, I will hit ashore." If you can't do it if you burn down Busan, then don't blame me for landing and going to Seoul. ”

"My lord, even if you want the foreign vassal minister to die, you have to give an explanation, right?" This product's Chinese is quite fluent, Chen Xie became interested, looked at his somewhat black face, and sneered hideously: "It seems that your memory is not good, but I remember that during the Battle of Lushun, I also captured a lot of North Korean birds." Are you really not going to give an explanation? ”

“……。” Poor little official Lee Seung-gi, after getting off the battleship, desperately urged the boatman to row back. Every time I look back, I feel like the sky is falling. The warship of the Ming Dynasty came, and it was a warship that looked like a man-eating dragon, and the lord on the ship, dressed in strange costumes, but there was no doubt that it was definitely the chief soldier from Daming Dengzhou. Or what is the prince Shaobao, from the governor of the south of the first product.

Behind the nine warships, there are still a lot of sails, and they are also some lucky ships with more than 500 materials. Sending troops to help Houjin fight, Lee Seung-gi really didn't know that a petty officer of his level was a small role in the North Korean Naval Division. Because I can speak Chinese, I got such an unlucky errand.

The harbor was littered with debris of ships, which looked like the result of the shelling just now. Compared with the Ming warships, these turtle ships in North Korea are simply pitiful, not to mention the guns on those ships, which only have a range of 200 steps. The range of the cannon just fired by the people just now, how can it be 1,500 steps, right?

The governor of the Ming Dynasty only gave three days, and after three days there was no reply, so he was killed ashore.

When Lee Yong-chul (blind) heard the news that Lee Seung-gi had brought back, it was like five thunderbolts. The fleet of the Ming Dynasty is coming, and the reckoning is coming. Isn't North Korea a country that will not be conquered by the Ming Taizu? How could this happen?

After reading the condition documents brought by Lee Seung Gi, Lee Yong-chul's anger was about to burn his chest. A compensation of five million taels, a hundred boats of timber per month, and the culprit who decided to send troops to help Houjin go to Lushun. In this kind of dispatching troops, the culprit can think of who it is with his toes, and it can only be the king of North Korea, Yi Liang. The problem is, this thing is actually quite wrong.

Before the "Ding Mao Rebellion" in 1623, Korea was towards the Ming Dynasty. During the Mao Wenlong period, North Korea helped the Ming Dynasty to fight Houjin. Later, Amin attacked North Korea and forced North Korea to sign a brotherly alliance with a knife handle, which did not make North Korea give up its position of leaning towards the Ming Dynasty. Chen Xie doesn't know history, it's just that he doesn't like these people.

Chen Xie had already investigated the matter of the Battle of Lushun, and the North Korean people sent a team to escort grain, and they were forced to go to the battlefield by Yue Tuo, and they were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Even if he knew that North Korea was wronged, Chen Xie did not intend to let go of this small country that knelt and licked the strong in order to survive. Anyway, as long as he is strong enough, he is not afraid that he will not kneel and lick.

Li Yongzhe, who was angry, decided to attack with forty turtle boats under his command, so that the Daming Navy Division could see that North Korea also had loyal and brave soldiers who were not afraid of death. However, before making this decision, a letter was sent to Pyongyang.

After forty turtle boats rushed out of the harbor with great momentum, Li Yongzhe saw the appearance of the nine warships clearly, and when he looked at the uncountable sails on the sea behind him, he had no courage to run. "Hang the white flag, hang the white flag immediately."

Chen Xie was also very strange, when he was about to praise the courage of the North Korean navy with a telescope, he didn't want the white flag to be hung up. Chen Xie chopped his feet very annoyed and said: "Nima, why did you surrender, it's not too late to let Lao Tzu beat him and surrender again." ”

Wang Dehua, who was about to follow the boat not far behind, was tied to a corner of the boat at the moment, with a rag stuffed in his mouth. With complaining eyes, he looked at Chen Xie's lively back. (To be continued......)
