The Capture and Theft Division was set up very quickly, and in just one day, more than 300 qualified candidates were selected from the whole army and distributed to various cities. Deng She sent an official letter to Chen Hu and the others in the name of the Twin Cities Governor's Office, asking them to select garrisons and natives in their own cities to gather enough manpower.

As for the officials at all levels of the Twin Cities Arrest Division and the Arrest and Robbery Offices of each city, according to the established line of thought, all of them were held by Deng She's personal soldiers. Nominally, he is a civil official, but his establishment is still according to the military system, and his leaders are called 1,000 households and 100 households in the robbery department.

The name of the thief Si Qianhu is Li Shousheng, and his background is not a horse thief, but a soldier in Yongping. He made a meritorious contribution in the first battle of the garrison, and Deng She promoted him as a personal soldier and took him with him. When conquering the twin cities, in order to follow Deng She into the city, Deng She was hit by Li Chenggui's cold arrow, Li Shousheng was the first to react among his own soldiers, and he rushed forward desperately to block the second arrow for Deng She.

The use of him as the head of the Theft Capture Division was the result of Deng She's careful consideration.

This person has the skill of escorting, loyalty, and is also fine; The most important thing is that it has nothing to do with the various factions in the army. is not an old man who is a thief, and Wen, Chen, and Zhao are not involved; is not an 800 old soldier, and has nothing to do with Monk Li, Luo Guoqi, and Guan Shirong.

With the expansion of the army, as the old men and 800 old soldiers gradually became the backbone of the officers, the factions and mountaineering in the army became more and more obvious, and Deng She had to be more cautious.

Speaking of kilometers, the story of Chen Hu killing 100 people at a time in Dingzhou, Deng She never wants to repeat it again. Sending a person who has nothing to do with the departments to be the commander will be able to kick out the influence of the army to the greatest extent without being involved, and do official business, so that he can better understand the spirit of Deng She and carry out Deng She's orders.

Privately, the Department of Arrest and Theft is nominally only responsible for arresting thieves, but because it has the right to collect information, it actually has the responsibility of supervising the localities. Since he wants to supervise the place, naturally there is no more suitable person like Li Shousheng, who has always followed Deng She's side and has nothing to do with the various factions.

Of course, giving such an important position to one person to manage, Deng She can rest assured, and Hong Jixun will not rest assured, and at his request, he sent an old man who was a horse thief to Li Shousheng as a deputy. In the robbery offices of each city, the principle of one positive and one pair is followed, and the 100 households of the robbery house are served by the Han soldiers, and the deputy 100 households are served by the beauty. After all, it is a local job, and there is no Goryeo native people, so the work is not easy to carry out.

Wu Henian is an old fritter in officialdom, and he has seen a lot of officialdom power tricks, how can he not know Deng She's intentions? He was very interested in opening up an independent courtyard in the yamen of the governor's palace and handed it over to the Capture and Theft Division. Sometimes when I see Li Shousheng, I don't dare to put on a half-point Shangguan stand, everyone knows that his Shangguan has a name.

It is easy to say that local thieves are arrested, Li Shousheng has no experience in intelligence gathering, and Deng She has no experience either. However, Hong Jixun and Wu Henian knew a little bit about it, brainstormed and sketched a framework. You can't eat a fat man in one bite, the framework is there, and the specific details can only be slowly understood and supplemented at work.

Stamping the last stamp, Dunsher stretched. Not counting the Shuangcheng Capture and Theft Division, only in Dingzhou and other more than a dozen cities, the officials of the robbery arrest office need thirty or forty letters of appointment. In order to show his attention, each letter of appointment was drafted by Wu Henian and written by Deng She, and it took more than half an hour to write.

With two strokes of his wrist, Deng She asked, "How is the cooperative progressing?" ”

"Back to my lord, the official document has been sent to all places. In the countryside under the jurisdiction of the single twin cities, the villain began to work on it yesterday. ”

"Speed it up. The autumn harvest will be in two months, try to set the prototype of the cooperative before it, and you can also see the effect during the autumn harvest. Deng She said, "All kinds of people's needs, salt, cloth, etc., are reported to each city, and they are uniformly distributed from the treasury." Half of the money from the sale of cooperatives and shops was delivered to the army, and half of it was left in the cities for civilian use, and it was temporarily handed over to the peasant envoys to take charge of; The rest will be left to the Governor's Mansion of the Twin Cities. ”

Civil administration has just begun, and for the time being, it is still difficult to distinguish between military and civilian populations. The civil officials of the cities, including the Twin Cities Governor's Office, basically had no money, and they had to find Deng Shekai* for everything, and they were rationed in the army. It was fine when there was only one twin city, but now that the territory is bigger, it is still like this, it is not suitable.

Wu Henian did what he wanted, but he didn't dare to ask for an ear, what was the palm of an official? The word right, in the final analysis, is nothing more than human property. Only when there are people, wealth, and things can there be rights, and only then can officials do it comfortably and steadily.

He was happy and reminded, reminding himself not to behave outside, and said: "As soon as the cooperative is established, the amount of money and materials used by the civil administration in various places will be large. ”

Wu Henian's sycophants have never left his mouth, Deng She is used to hearing it, smiled, and said: "Don't care about the other cities, you can calculate, how much do the people of the two cities need?" ”

As soon as the red scarf entered the twin cities, the Goryeo merchants became extinct; Separated by mountains and plateaus, Liaodong merchants don't even think about it. It doesn't matter if it's three or two months, there are always some reserves at home, and they barely use it, so so-so. Over time, once their own reserves are exhausted, the pressure on the government will be great.

"There were forty-two thousand natives in the twin cities, but one thousand four hundred died in the slaughter; The adults recruited the Jurchens, and the Jurchens who moved here before and after, totaled 2,400 people; Because of the policy of dividing the land, in the past two months, many scattered displaced people have heard the news, and more than 900 people have settled down. In total, there are more than 44,000 in the city.

"Salt is good to say. The most scarce ones are cloth, iron and pottery utensils, and medicinal materials. Not to mention the cloth, the iron tools, the iron in the smelter, the military is still insufficient, and the blacksmiths in each city have also been recruited into the army by adults. The villain often goes to the aboriginal people's homes to observe the people's feelings, and one-third of the people are short of iron tools, and some even do not have iron pots.

"Iron tools and cloth are in short supply, and they can be replaced by other things, only medicinal materials, and the indigenous people are sick, almost to the point that there is no medical treatment to see, and there is no medicine available.

"I don't know if the adults have paid attention, but in the induction temple in the city, the foolish men and foolish women who ask for medicine are from morning to night, day after day. There is a longevity temple on the mountain outside the city, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined, and the folk rumors are very effective. Although the general strictly forbade the residents to go up the mountain privately, there were still people who took advantage of the opportunity to plow and secretly enter the mountain to worship the Buddha, and the supervising soldiers caught several of them. Because it is civil, it is interrogated by the villain, all because the old and young in the family are sick and there is no medicine to treat, so they have to do it as a last resort. ”

There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the city, and Deng She knows it. This situation was due to the lack of merchant contacts, and the fact that most of the doctors and medicines were all conscripted into the army as early as the time the city was breached. But I didn't expect that it was already in short supply to such a point.

In fact, not only the people, after several battles, even in the army, there is not much medicine left. Chen Zhe, who came back a few days ago, bought the goods, in addition to gunpowder, the second most is medicine.

Deng She frowned, the medicine that Chen Zhe brought back must not be given to civilians, so what about civilians?

"Organize the doctor, go up the mountain to collect more herbs, and save the emergency first."

"Although there are many mountains around the Twin Cities, adults, herbs are not available everywhere." Deng She's solution made Wu Henian cry and laugh. He is a Confucian student, the so-called not a famous minister, but a famous doctor, and he understands some medicine.

Deng She was stunned, interlaced like a mountain, he had nothing to say. I stood up, took two steps, couldn't think of a good idea, after all, I was still trading. Problems can only be solved through trade.

During yesterday's deliberations, Hong Jixun proposed two methods, one to go to Pyongyang and the other to southern Liaoning. But didn't you say that yesterday? Pyongyang is in enemy-occupied territory, and southern Liaoning is too far away to solve the problem fundamentally.

While thinking about it, the left car came in from outside the lobby, made a military salute, and said: "General, the deputy of the river asks to see you." ”

Usually, Ha Guangxiu will come early every day, like a small tail, following behind Deng She's ass and falling for a day. After officially taking on the errand of organizing Tuntian, he got busy, and made an exception today and did not report for duty. Coming here at this time, there should be something. Dunsher called him in.

He Guangxiu walked in with his head held high, and increased the title of supervising the Tuntian envoy, and the two mustaches on his lips were also thickened with the material. He knelt down and kowtowed, and Deng She raised his hand and shouted, "What? What's the trouble with Tuntian? ”

Ha Guangxiu got up and said, "So that the general can know that the Goryeo people are very obedient, and everything is going well in the tuntian." I don't know when it began, whenever it comes to the aborigines, Ha Guangxiu also learns the same as Wen and Chen Zhujiang, and keeps calling them "Koreans", as if they are Han Chinese.

Deng She waited for him to say more, but saw him glance at Wu Henian, and without going down, he popped out a sentence: "The villain came for a military plane." ”

Wu Henian was stunned, changed the text and Chen picked him up, he didn't care. A eunuch with a stick, an official of the deputy Wanhu is not small, and he is in charge of some miscellaneous affairs in the field, what important military affairs can he have? It's also like a dog! secretly scolded a few times, held the appointment documents for the peasant envoys, the thief arrest department, and the thief arrest office, and bowed his goodbye obediently.

Deng She is not surprised, He Guangxiu's deputy Wanhu has been working for a long time, and he also knows how to be motivated, Changyang people read him some "Sun Tzu's Art of War", work hard, and deal with people, compared with the past, much more decent. There is only one point, in terms of "the machine is not secret, and it is harmful", it has done a little too much, a little, and it is easy to "military aircraft are important, please retreat left and right." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Dunshe was helpless.

"Last night, four or five Japanese boats sneaked to the island, trying to steal our army's horses, but were repelled by the villain's department and captured three prisoners. I'm here to report the victory to the general! He Guangxiu was triumphant, and said.

Since the island was captured by the Heguang Xiubu, Deng She originally planned to send Han pawns to take over, but he has not had time to cook, so until now, he is still guarded by Li pawns. At the beginning, all the adult horses from the pastures on the island had been sent to the army, and dozens of other foals were still left to be free-range.

Deng She was surprised: "The boat? "The northern part of Goryeo is not as rich and far away as the southern one, and there are few Japanese robbers.

"Exactly. The villain asked, saying that he was going to Gyeongsang-do, fell into an ambush in Goryeo, and fled in defeat. A few ships panicked and came to the Twin Cities. ”

It makes sense. Deng She didn't pay attention to it, just a few would-be robbers, and he was not interested in seeing it, so he waved his hand and said, "Just take it and cut it." Seeing that He Guangxiu's face was disappointed, he mentioned two words of spiritual comfort, "Your troops have meritorious service in defending the land, report to General Zuo, and reward your meritorious deeds." Chen Hu went to Dingzhou, and the law enforcement officer in the army was changed to Zuo Che'er.

Only then did He Guangxiu become happy, pretending to be modest, and said, "A few thieves ,......"

Deng She perfunctorily listened to him say two words, and suddenly his heart moved. Woko? When I got in touch with the business route that was having a headache, I thought about it for a while, and if I had a plan, I would try it if I didn't succeed or not. He Guangxiu was verbose and turned around happily to leave, but Deng She called him back and said, "Wait, bring people to me first." ”

He changed his mind, and Ha Guangxiu couldn't ask for it, which just showed his merits. After a short time, he led a few soldiers to escort the prisoners, and the left car was cautious, and he also brought his own soldiers to guard Deng She's side. Only two captives came, and Ha Guangxiu explained: "The other one's mouth is too hard, the beating is miserable, the flesh is blurred, too dirty, and it does not stain the general's eyes." The villain didn't bring it. ”

Deng She didn't know the Japanese language, but there was one in the Li Pawn who did. According to He Guangxiu, this beautiful pawn was originally a pariah in the south, and his master was brutal and couldn't bear it, so he absconded to Liaodong and later joined the army.

Dun She looked at the two widows for a moment. The general of the defeated army was not brave enough, and the two captives hung their heads in despair, their clothes were tattered, and they lay on the ground and cowered. Deng She retracted his gaze and asked He Guangxiu: "Do you have any prisoners in their boat?" ”

He Guangxiu said ashamedly: "Only one was captured, and the defending ships on the island are insufficient to intercept it." ”

Deng She nodded: "What seizures did you get?" ”

"Nothing but a little money." After He Guangxiu finished speaking, he misunderstood what Deng She meant, and hurriedly said, "The villain has been counted clearly, waiting to show it to the general." ”

The money was useless, Deng She was not in a hurry, looked at the two captives a few more times, and said, "Where did they come from?" ”

"From Tsushima." Tsushima is an island located in the north of Kyushu, the Japanese kingdom, only 100 miles from Goryeo, and has a small population, but most of the Japanese who infested Goryeo came from here. There are the so-called "thieves of the three islands", and the three islands are Tsushima, Ichiki, and Hizen in Kitakyushu.

Deng She did not know the geography of Goryeo and Wa, and the map dedicated to him by Hong Jixun only marked Goryeo counties, and there were no Wa islands. While asking the Japanese in detail, Ha Guangxiu drew a general direction on the ground.

If you want to use the Japanese Kou, you have to know their people. The two captives were slightly taller than Kikuzaburo, and the lower and darker ones were called Fujimitsuhide.

Hearing his name, Deng She felt amused and looked at Ha Guangxiu. He Guangxiu was stunned, raised his foot and kicked Fuji Mitsuxiu hard, and scolded loudly: "A cat and a dog, I dare to have the same name as the villain." It's okay to have the same name as the villain, but he dares to have the same name as the general under the general's command, damn it! ”

He turned the corner to glorify himself in the name of Deng She, and Deng She couldn't help but be happy, and said: "You ask him, how many companions were defeated by the Goryeo naval army?" ”

Li, who knew the Japanese language, asked, and replied: "When they went out to sea, there were more than 30 large and small ships, and they were blown away by wind and waves on the way. On his way, there were less than ten ships left, and he was unwilling to go back, so he landed in Gyeongsang-do and fell into an ambush by the Goryeo army, and less than half of them were lucky to survive. ”

Dunshe was a little disappointed. Only four or five escaped, which was too few. "What do they usually grab?" he asked. ”

Fujimitsu said a few words, and Lizu translated: "More food." ”

After careful questioning, I learned that the Japanese Kingdom was now in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the emperor on both sides, and the conquest was continuous, and there was an internal strife within the Northern Dynasty a few years ago. Without food or clothing, many Japanese people became pirates.

At the same time, compared with the Northern Dynasties, the strength of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom was inferior, and many defeated soldiers had no way out, and they were exiled at sea.

Based on the current two people, Kikuzaburo is a native of Tsushima Island, and Fujimitsuhide is the defeated army of the Southern Dynasty.

Deng She was not interested in the government of the Japanese Dynasty, and asked the two of them about the high status of Mitsuhide Nakato, so he asked him separately: "How many ships do you have in total?" More than thirty. ”

Fuji Mitsuhide has been a pirate for many years, often entering Goryeo to plunder, and a few words that Goryeo understands, without waiting for the Lishu to translate, stumbled and rushed: "Thirty ships, just going to sea." There were still sixty ships on the island, five hundred people. ”

If it weren't for the urgent need, Deng She would have beheaded the two widows, and Fujimitsuhide didn't know what to do, so he rushed to speak, which made him unhappy. He lowered his face and said, "Pull it down and whip it twenty times." ”

The two pro-soldiers dragged Fujimitsuhide down, and Hemitsuhide excitedly took matters into his own hands, and suddenly the muffled sound of the whip falling and Fujimitsuhide's screams of pain came into the hall.

Kikuzaburo didn't know why, and shivered. Deng She also ignored him, and when the whip was finished, Fuji Mitsuhide was dragged to the front of the hall again, he was small, the whip was intensive, his body was incomplete, there were a lot of tears and snot, he didn't dare to say anything, he just kowtowed.

Nor did Dunsha give any reason for the scourging, but asked, "What is the name of your prince?" ”

Fujimitsuhide learned to be obedient, and didn't dare to say a word: "Tojiro." "I can't help it," adds, "it's the villain's brother." Expecting to be able to make more calculations because of this, he peeked at Deng She, and sure enough, he saw Deng She's face showing a little joy.

Deng She pondered for a moment and said, "I have a business, are you interested?" ”

Fuji Mitsuhide nodded again and again, fell into the hands of the enemy, I don't know if he lives or dies, this general is a little moody, and the life-saving straw can be fished up one by one.

"I heard you say that you plundered Goryeo for nothing more than some food. I have food, I can provide it to you, free of charge, no money, but you have to provide me with some things in exchange, such as medicinal herbs, cloth, weapons, whatever I can steal from Goryeo, I will want. ”

Fuji Mitsuhide didn't want to think about it, he was the first to save his life, he passed one level after another, and promised with a mouth,

Whether he was insincere or not, whether he did it or not, Deng She didn't care, and said, "Very good." As a sign of sincerity, I can prepare a thousand stones of grain and hand them over to you to transport back. As if he suddenly remembered, he added, "You only have one ship, I'm afraid you won't be able to transport it back, right?" ”

Fujimitsuhide said without a word: "It can be transported back, it can be transported back, with the villain, a total of six ships." If they didn't save the villain, they didn't dare to go far, so they begged the general to give the villain a day to gather them all and transport a thousand stone of grain, no problem. ”

Deng She agreed with his proposal and nodded at Kikusaburo: "That's very good." Leave it to him the task of gathering the ships. You have a wound on your back, and you can't walk, so you can rest in my camp. ”

Fujimitsuhide was stunned and said, "Kikuzaburo has a low status, so it's useless to go." The villain has this injury on his back, it is not in the way, it is not in the way, it can hold on, and it will not miss the general's business. ”

Deng She agreed again and said, "Yes." But it's one thing for you to be able to hold on, the sea is cold, you are weak after injury, and if you are sick for a lifetime, it is not beautiful. Without waiting for Fujimitsuhide to speak again, the final word, "That's it." General He, you send a few people to go to the sea with Kikuzaburo to gather this brother of the strong man. ”

He Guangxiu has a good performance, and he is never afraid of many tasks, but he is afraid of no tasks. He patted his chest and packed the ticket, and in less than a day, he was determined to come back to recover his life, took Kikuzaburo, and went majestically.

Fujimitsuhide watched as they left, his face full of disappointment. His idea was to take the initiative to ask for help, and he never returned. A fool would do business with the Twin Cities. Medicine, cloth, they have it, but they also lack it! Even if there is no shortage, buying it to China is far more profitable than doing business with Shuangcheng. As for the people who Kikuzaburo brought back or not, he was not afraid, Tengjiro was famous, and those pirates did not dare to leave him alone.

Deng She coughed, attracting his attention, and asked with a pleasant face, "Shicai is rude, is the whiplash on your back really not in the way?" ”

"Out of the way, out of the way."

"Drag it out any longer, and beat twenty military sticks."

The soldier promised, and dragged Fujimitsuhide down with his hands and feet. If there is a saying about the first twenty whips, these twenty military sticks were purely used to kill people, so as to pave the way for Deng She's improvised plan.

Zuo Che'er didn't understand Deng She's intentions, and was full of doubts, and asked, "General, do you really believe him?" Tsushima Island is too far away from us, and the Japanese will be willing to come and do business with us? ”

Deng She shook his head, he didn't plan to do business with the Japanese at all, and Zuo Che'er became more and more confused: "Then why is the general?" ”

"Just because we don't do business doesn't mean we can't learn from them." Dunsher smiled. To open up trade routes, you can not only go up to Liaodong and Pyongyang, but also go down the sea and invade the southern part of Goryeo.

Due to Mongwon's control, many of Goryeo's cities were not protected by adequate walls, and the coastal areas were no exception. Although in recent years, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the fact that the Mengyuan whip was beyond the reach of the commander, Goryeo stepped up the construction of the city, but in the end the time was too short, and most of the energy was put on the north. I once heard Hong Jixun say that the places of Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province are uninhabited for dozens of miles near the sea, and the defenses are sparse, and only a few hundred people can drive straight in. Such an opportunity should not be missed.

It's just that Deng She didn't have a boat at hand, and the boat could be built, so the sailors had to have special drills. Unlike the capture of several coastal islands, it is necessary to be well prepared. Among the several times in the army, there was not a single one who had experience in water warfare and knew the waters off the coast of Goryeo. Ha Guangxiu fought a few beach battles, but he didn't even think about it when he was expected to train the navy.

Deng She hit the idea on Fujimitsuhide and the others. They go to sea all year round, make a living from bandits, and often fight with the Goryeo navy, so they should have some experience in naval warfare, and this is not enough, the key is to know the situation in the sea around Goryeo. It's just that two or three widows are too few to be useful, so they simply made up an excuse and deceived the others to come and detain them together.

In terms of shipbuilding, Deng She has long been careful. The area around the Twin Cities is lush with forests, and there is as much wood as possible to us; Shuangcheng, Dingzhou, Tokugawa, Ningyuan, or by the sea, or near the river, there are craftsmen who can build ships, and even there are many good craftsmen among the Jurchens. There is also Hong Jixun, when Yuan Shizu went east to Japan, his ancestor Hong Chaqiu was responsible for supervising shipbuilding, and he also knew a little about shipbuilding.

It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. He Guangxiu is really useful, and on the night of the camp, he came up with a strange plan; Guarding an island and being able to catch a widow, Deng She pondered, should he reward him again?

Issued an order: "Call Wen Huaguo and Wu Henian to organize soldiers and Ding Zhuang to go up the mountain to cut wood." The Jurchens who were selected to move to Shuangcheng who knew how to build ships were incorporated into the shipbuilding camp together with the Goryeo shipbuilders who had been recruited into the artisan camp earlier; Ordered Zhao Guo to be in Jiashan, and also selected some Jurchens who could build ships to send them. ”

Shipbuilding is a big deal, and you need to choose a cadre to oversee it. Picking and choosing, Wen, Chen and others were either too rough or not around, Deng She decided: "Go and find Luo Guoqi and give him a shipbuilder." ”

——

1, the thief of Mishima.

These three places are close to Goryeo, and the Yuan Shizu conquered Japan, both times they first occupied Tsushima Island and then conquered Ilki Island. The first time it approached the coastal islands of Hizen, but it did not land here and turned to Hakata Bay. The second time is the same as entering Hakata Bay through Ichiki.

2. Many cities in Goryeo do not have city walls.

After the Yuan Dynasty's conquest, "...... The king of Goryeo asked the coastal city to defend against Japan, but he was not allowed. ”

During the reign of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Li sent envoys to the DPRK, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent a letter to his king, "...... Now that the messenger has returned to the kingdom, I ask what is the kingdom's politics, its castles, its soldiers, and its dwellings. The messenger said: There is no castle in the world, although there are armor soldiers, and the guards are not strict,......。 "Guo: The outer wall of the city wall.

3. There are no people for dozens of miles near the sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang's letter to the king of Joseon was also issued: "The messenger said: ...... Go to the seashore fifty or thirty miles, and the people will live in peace. Why do I ask why? Words: I was disturbed by the Japanese slaves. ……”

4, there are craftsmen who can build ships, too.

The shipbuilding industry in Goryeo is relatively developed. It is mainly manifested in the large scale of shipbuilding, fast speed, and strong combat capability.

Yuan Shizu was the eastward expedition to Japan, and ordered Goryeo to "build a thousand ships, and those who can wade the sea and carry 4,000 stones". And directly according to the Goryeo "ship model" to make a large number of warships. "The emperor wants to conquer Japan, and Zhao Fangqing and Chaqiu supervise the construction of warships. Shipbuilding, if it is based on the barbarian style, will cost a lot of work, will not be scheduled, and a country will be worried. …… Fang Qing was the governor of the southeast province and supervised the construction of his own (Goryeo) ship". At that time, Goryeo also actively absorbed the shipbuilding technology of the Yuan Dynasty.

- "Tea Hill": that is, Hong Tea Hill.

"Barbarian": the four-color people of the Yuan Dynasty, etc., the Han people are the third, and the southerners are the fourth. The Han people are also called "Beiren" and "Han'er", in addition to the northern Han people under the original Liaojin rule, but also include the Han people in Yunnan and Sichuan; The southerners are also called "barbarians", who are the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty. "Barbarian", that is, the southerner ship.

5. Even among the Jurchens, there were many good shipbuilders.

Yuan Shizu conquered Japan and ordered Nuzhi and Shui Dada to build hundreds of windward ships. It was sturdy, light and agile compared to the average warship of the time, and was faster with the help of sails. There are shipbuilding workshops, which are seasonal, and their shipbuilders are engaged in agriculture, fishing and hunting, in addition to building ships in a certain season.

- "Shuidada": The tribes that inhabit the Songhua River and the Mingtong River basin and live in the surrounding mountains and dense forests constitute the main body of the Jurchen Shuidada, or the Jurchen and our savages.

6. The origin of the word "Dada".

Dada seems to have been the name given by the Turks to some of the neighboring tribes that originally spoke the Mongolian language, and at one time became the name given to many nomadic peoples on the Mongolian plateau. After the rise of the Mongols, Dada gradually reverted to the proper name of the Tatar tribe of the original thirty Tatar descendants stationed in the rich* region.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Dada, as one of the fixed Chinese translations, was widely adopted by official documents and popular literature. The third fold of Yang Xianzhi's "Zheng Kongmu Wind and Snow Cool Cold Pavilion": "He said: Who are you? I said: It's not a Huihui person, it's not a Dada person, it's not a Han'er person. I speak with you listeners. The man who said this was a Nan, and by Dada he was obviously referring to the Mongols of the fourth class.

Emperor Taiding's enthronement edict also referred to the Lingbei region where the Mongol tribes were stationed as "Dada Land".

To this day, in the northern countryside of China, there are still people who call their fathers "big", and the root of this is about the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Mongols were the first and most noble of the four-colored people, and perhaps they were influenced by it and brought it out to call the elder venerable.

The word "Dada" is the most widely used in "The Golden Vase of Plums", and can be seen everywhere, just to give a brief example: "The woman cried out: 'Dada! I'm just afraid that your legs will be sore, so take the pillow and sit on your cushion,......。 This woman's name is Wang Liu'er, and then, Ximen Qing said: "Wang Liu'er, my son, you don't know how to have this in your heart, I don't want to meet you today, it's just my intention." You and I will die tomorrow. ”

- Ximen Qingxian called Wang Liu'er "my son", and then called himself "You Da", it can be seen that at least in the Ming Dynasty, "Da" has been used to refer to his parents.

- The title of water dada appeared before the connotation of dada was fixed. It appeared as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, and also referred to Mongolia, but it was not exclusive. Therefore, although Shuidada has always been a title for the Yuan Dynasty as a non-Mongol nation, the Yuan people on many occasions, in order to distinguish it from the general connotation of Dada, have been called Jurchen to indicate their true clan.

The Jurchens in this area are even more backward. Until the Ming Dynasty, there was still "a little farming, gathering as a ceremony, people holding a fish bubble with soju, singing and drinking on the ground."
