Chapter 15 The daily life of Zhao Jiaren's team
The wooden stick was used as a Japanese knife and slashed at Zhao Jiaren. This is a so-called big upper slash, Zhao Jiaren gently retreated, using the length of the bayonet sword to give a stab to the Japanese people on the opposite side. The sharp tip of the sword pierced lightly into the guy's right arm, about a centimeter deep.
As soon as he closed the sword, the Japanese people on the opposite side were shocked. The injured man was quite nimble, and he took a few steps back, forming a four-man back-to-back formation with three other accomplices. The students surrounding these four Japanese people were in high spirits, and some of them were already cheering. When everyone rounded up these four people, they couldn't defeat them so easily. If it weren't for the school's security arrangements, it would have strengthened security awareness and assigned additional posts recently. I'm afraid that the Japanese will be able to run away.
"We just want to defect to your family, His Royal Highness Zhao, and I definitely don't want to fight with you." One of the widows shouted.
Zhao Jiaren was stunned, how could the Japanese people think of running to themselves? It is impossible for him to be so famous in the Wa Kingdom. Hearing this, some of the students still stared at the Japanese people, and some of the students looked at Zhao Jiaren. Those Japanese people also sensed the strangeness in this, and hurriedly shouted in the face of Zhao Jiaren: "Your Excellency, we are only hired, and we are not in the same group as the Cham people. We just want to defect to His Highness Zhao now. ”
"That'...... What are you running out for? Zhao Jiaren asked.
The one who had just stabbed Zhao Jiaren had just changed the wooden stick to his left hand and switched positions with another person. Now facing Zhao Jiaren, who is quite eloquent, he hurriedly answered Zhao Jiaren's question, "We have been begging for more than a month, but the news is like a stone in the sea. We felt that if we continued like this, we would probably only be able to die. Because I didn't want to die, I escaped. ”
The truth is always contagious, if these four Japanese obediently stay in prison. The next time someone reports something related to them, Zhao Jiaren, who is in a calm mood, will probably order a sea burial for the four widows. Now seeing these four people desperately escaping and expressing their strong desire not to die, Zhao Jiaren can't help but be moved.
"What's your last name?" Zhao Jiaren asked. He was going to wait for the other party to report his name, and then beckon the students to come up and kill the killer together. These four people have been locked up for more than a month, and their health is already very bad, and it is not difficult to solve them.
"We don't have a last name. My name is Sasuke. The widow who faced Zhao Jiaren replied.
"You don't have any last names?" Zhao Jiaren felt a little inexplicably moved, and he tried to determine the problem again.
"Yes." The Japanese gave a clear answer.
"Good. I am the Highness Zhao you want to see. Zhao Jiaren said as he withdrew his sword from its scabbard.
When the Japanese man on the other side heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then threw down his wooden stick and knelt respectfully on the ground. "I don't know if it's His Royal Highness Zhao, please atone for your sins." A moment later, the other three also knelt down together.
In Japan, poor people and the like do not have surnames. Zhao Jiaren saw that these four people insisted on their origins so much, and his heart couldn't help but soften. "Give them something to eat, change their clothes, and bring them to me." After speaking, Zhao Jiaren turned around and left. The reason why I wanted to get rid of these four widows was not to kill people, but not to leak my actions. At this time, the lives of the four people were spared, and Zhao Jiaren felt that the burden that had been pressing on his heart all this time was thrown away. The conscience was finally restored to a state of calm.
A few days later, Yuelian returned to Fuzhou with a ship full of cotton. As soon as she returned to school, the Life Committee informed her that there were four more members of her fourth team. Seeing these four widows, Yuelian was not disgusted. She thinks these guys are very good and can come in handy.
When the handover of personnel is over, the goods are unloaded again. On a sunny afternoon in the ninth month of the Song calendar in Fujian, Yuelian sat on a small slope by the river and asked her new subordinates, "Why do you want to work for the Pu family?" ”
"This ...... The Pu family has always had a lot of dealings with our Japanese maritime merchants. A few of us just want to eat, so we do things to help get in touch. Sasuke sat cross-legged and answered the captain's question.
Yuelian had eaten sea rice for several years, and scoffed at the words of the Japanese people who washed themselves away like this. There are indeed people at sea who are more honest, and that's because they have to be honest. There has always been no need for a strong person like the Pu family to be honest, and the person who cooperates with the Pu family will not be an honest child. Yuelian asked angrily, "Since you have already joined us, let's make it all clear." Do you really think we don't know what the Japanese are doing with us? ”
Sasuke hurriedly explained, "We're telling the truth. In the past few years, the trade from Quanzhou to Zhancheng has been in the hands of the Pu family, and they can't rob their fleet. The Pu family themselves are Cham people, and most of them are Cham people. We Japanese are all outsiders in the eyes of the Pu family. If it weren't for the Pu family's own inability to deal with it, where would they give us food. ”
"And who you've been working with?" Yuelian also felt that the number of pirates under the Pu family was extremely small.
"We used to do business with Shandong. After Li Pu, the governor of Shandong, built a naval army, we couldn't do it. The Koreans have always prevented us from doing business with them. It has only been in the last two or three years since I came to the Great Song Sea. Sasuke continued to answer the captain's questions.
"Get up and get to work!" "Hurry up and get to work!" Shouts rang out nearby.
Dangdang! Dangdang! The alarm bell from the ship is sounded here as a command bell. Yuelian originally knew some words, and after becoming Zhao Jiaren's subordinate, her reading ability became stronger and stronger. Looking up at the paper hanging from the strip of cloth behind me, I saw a long horizontal banner with the words from left to right: 'Dry quickly, build a new home for our shipyard.' ’
Standing up, Yuelian beckoned her subordinates to join in the construction of the Mawei Shipyard. Mawei is 40 miles southeast of Fuzhou City, on the north bank of the Min River. Zhao Jiaren, a prisoner in Fujian Road, generously contributed a sum of money to Fujian's economic system, he bought a lot of land in Mawei and put the shipyard in Mawei.
The amount of work involved in infrastructure works is enormous, especially in the backwoods of Mawei. Zhao Jiaren now has nearly 5,000 men working together. Carrying a hoe, Yuelian began to level the land. After only a while, she felt a sore back. Looking back at his subordinates, everyone looked the same solemn and sweaty. It's just that a significant number of boys are proficient in using tools like hoes and shovels. They have a lot of experience when they are in the country. Yuelian couldn't help but lament in her heart, this is to use women as men and men as animals.
Although she lamented in her heart, Yuelian couldn't say anything. Because the area was divided and the amount of work was determined before the project began. It is not only ordinary people who are assigned manual work. Adults, all adults, including Zhao Jiaren, have to be zoned and assigned their own work quotas. When Zhao Jiaren, the Fujian Road Prison and the captains of various ships, were sweating and digging the ground, Yuelian really couldn't find a reason to complain.
Meetings are not only about assigning tasks, but also about mobilization meetings. After the story, everyone also understood that after the new shipyard was repaired, it would be beneficial to everyone. A large area of land behind the shipyard was bought, and Zhao Jiaren wanted to plant trees and plant here. Those who have nothing to do with sailing will also get more work. It's all said to this extent, what else is there to say?
And for the mobilization meeting of cadres at the level of Yuelian, Zhao Jiaren told it more bluntly. The original shipyard was on the edge of Fuzhou City, although there were many conveniences, but it was difficult to hide people's eyes. The ships captured in this section had to be very troublesome to be sent for dismantling. The new shipyard is located in Mawei, which is much more convenient. Zhao Jiaren bought a large piece of land here, and he could transport the ship into the shipyard and hide it at night without knowing it. The battle with the Pu family has just begun, and some ships will be renovated in the future.
Wiping her sweat, Yuelian continued to work with her head down. Half of the area in her charge is already dry, and she will be able to complete it in two more days. No matter how much suffering there is, if you know why you have to endure it, and when it will end, you will be able to endure it.
