Chapter 396: Take the long line
Not long after, Mu Zaohua and the flag of Zhenglan Banner first came back with a lot of things and loaded them on the wheelbarrow.
Yue Zhen understands that it is to use the transaction to buy and sell first, and the set is almost close.
Mu Zaohua turned back to deal with the North Koreans again, and it took a full stick of incense.
During this period, two of the boys of the Korean businessmen, who had been away for a while, reappeared.
In the end, Mu Zaohua exchanged something with the North Koreans, and the conversation ended.
Returning to the felt tent by the Yalu River, Mu Zaohua said: "The people of Gyeongju in the south of North Korea are indeed smugglers with the Japanese state-owned boats, and they can transport copper, but they come by land, not to mention the time-consuming, and there is a chance that they will encounter Mao Wenlong's soldiers and soldiers." Therefore, we are only willing to transport it to the seaside southeast of Huining, and let us transport it ourselves. ”
Although Yue Zhi was blind to most of the Korean state, he was very familiar with the place "Huining".
It was in the northernmost part of North Korea, close to the Tumen River, where the Jurchens of Jianju originated.
As the Jianbu continued to grow, in order to make it easier to plunder the Ming Kingdom in the west, it placed its nest in Hetuala, near Salhu.
Yue Yu picked up a small branch and made a few strokes on the damp muddy ground by the river, thoughtfully.
At the same time, Mu Zaohua's mind was also running at a high speed, planning the words to invite you into the urn according to the reaction of the prey in front of her.
If it is said that the oath made to Mrs. Zheng in front of Wu Gongzi's tomb two years ago was to kick off the war, and a year and a half ago in the Mongolian steppe after performing a bitter meat trick with his wife, it was the first victory, then, with the deep Jianzhou wolf pack step by step, the idea of avenging Wu Gongzi personally and expressing his fiery love no longer became the only emotion that entangled Mu Zaohua, and a strategic consciousness higher than tactics gradually occupied her mind.
She began to understand the importance of what Lady Zheng said about dancing with wolves and laying traps, and she began to understand the idea that Lady Zheng had managed to convey to her that Lady Zheng would divide the Tartar military forces.
The sense of accomplishment as a key person and the sense of mission to implement the vision made Mu Zaohua, who had experienced hunger and humiliation, more excited than ever.
It is as if the moths in the dust have finally turned into eagles, echoing with their equally alert and decisive companions, overlooking the rats in the field, and affecting their fate.
"Yue Beile, the price that the North Koreans ask for is not outrageous, after all, if you transport ordinary goods, you can sail to the vicinity of Gyeongju. And now, they have to walk a long way north by sea. ”
Mu Zaohua looked at Yue Yu inquiringly.
"It's not too expensive." Yue Zhi simply spat out four words.
Mu Zaohua stared at the ground, suddenly pretending to realize something, and her eyes were bright: "Baylor, why don't we just occupy Huining and open a port there?" Just like Dengzhou and Songjiang in the Ming Kingdom, in the future, it will not only be able to receive the copper ships of the Wa Kingdom, but also the grain ships and cloth ships of the Wa Kingdom. ”
The leader of Yue Zhi's entourage said disdainfully: "There is so much grain for the Koreans, can't Dahan and Baylor take us to rob it, and we still have to buy it from the Japanese country?" ”
This person was originally Bayala, from youth to prime, the jungle thinking of robbing the weak has long been ingrained, this time I saw the dignified flag master of his own red flag, and a Han female concubine of the blue flag owner, there was no sense of coercion of the master to the slave, and a subtle jealousy could not help but rise in my heart, and finally blurted out sarcasm.
Mu Zaohua responded calmly: "This time, we came and saw with our own eyes, the king of North Korea wants the Ming people to help them block our sweat, so from Phi Island to Yizhou, it is the Ming army under Mao Wenlong, how can we grab food?" Besides, if I think about it more long-term, didn't the Japanese want to occupy Korea in the past? In the future, we can join forces with them, so using our leather goods and delicacies to exchange copper for grain with them is only the first step in friendship. ”
Baya Lama is just a martial artist, picking up the mace, invincible, when it comes to the brain-based thing of "going up to kill its scheme", where can I catch it, and then I am not convinced that I was covered by a Nikan woman in front of the master, and I had to endure it dumbly.
Yue Zhen let out a sullen "hmm", threw the branch and stood up, no longer continuing the topic, but asked Mu Zaohua: "How can you tell if it is the copper block of the Wa Kingdom?" ”
"The copper of the Wa Kingdom is pure copper, and it is red. The surname Zheng not only hooked up with Yan Siqi, but also with his younger brother Zheng Zhilong, when the Songjiang Cannon Factory opened, it was Zheng Zhilong who bought Japanese copper from the Franky people of the Haojing Cannon Factory, just like now we have to pass through the Koreans. ”
Yue Zhen nodded: "Then you go and talk to the North Koreans again, how much you are blue flag, we will also set the red flag." ”
Mu Zaohua didn't hesitate to ask: "Is it going to be decided on the side of the master of the white flag?" ”
Yue Zhen smiled shallowly: "Since you said that Mang Gurtai is open-minded, then you should set some for the white flag." ”
"Okay, the Koreans don't live far away, I'll go and make a contract with them now, and Baylor will send a personal servant to go with me."
When the sun was about to set, Mu Zaohua appeared in front of Yue Yu again.
"It's been negotiated, and the North Koreans asked us to go to Huining and wait in May." Mu jujube flower arrangement.
Yue Zhi calculated Huining's journey back to Hetuala, which was a little pity: "The lost wax method said by the Nikan craftsman, the hot weather does not work, even if you get copper this year, you have to wait for the cold weather to rebuild the cannon, and if Amaruo wants to open the Yuan and Tieling in the autumn, there is still no cannon." ”
Mu Zaohua blurted out: "There is still a mud model method to ponder." Mud is better than wax, I met Aya when we were in Songjiang. ”
Finding that Yue Yu was suddenly silent, Mu Zaohua seemed to realize something, and her voice immediately lowered: "I'm sorry, Belle, I shouldn't have mentioned Aya." ”
Yue Yu waved his hand and looked at Ah Xue who was setting up a stone and firewood on the side.
After the kimchi poisoning incident, Mu Zaohua moved over with the banner of the blue flag to live next to Yue Xuan, and also bought a few iron pots of North Koreans in the market, and asked the nearby villagers to buy grain, rice, vegetables and game with the costume and accent of the Ming people, and cook by themselves.
The aroma of rice mixed with the aroma of meat wafts out.
The flagmen of the two flags, nourished by the satisfaction of the satiety, were in a good mood, stacked up the stones, and shot small arrows at the head of the competition.
Yue Zhen hugged his arms and looked at it for a while, then turned his head to find that Mu Zaohua was gone.
He walked vigilantly to his Bayala: "What about the Han girl?" ”
Bayala looked like she had finally seized the opportunity to show her merits: "Don't worry, the slave is afraid that those stupid roe deer in the Zhenglan Banner are not clever enough, in case she is actually still a spy and goes to find the people of the Ming Kingdom, the stupid roe deer have not found out, so the slave has been staring at her, she just took out a cigarette stick from the tent, and sat and smoked it at the stone beach." ”
Yue Yu patted his entourage on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the river.
"Baylor still has her in his heart, right? Me too, sometimes I can dream once or twice, Aya is frying cakes for me, her craftsmanship is much better than Axue. She is very much like my sister, my sister was starving to death in her hometown in Shandong, and when I stole the food and carried it back, she was already out of breath. Later, I worked with Aya on an errand surnamed Zheng, and I thought God was kind-hearted and returned my sister to me. ”
As soon as Yue Yu sat down beside Mu Zaohua, he listened to her talk non-stop.
Yue Zhen looked at the river where the waterfowl were gathering, and waited for the female voice next to him to stop before saying, "I hurt Aya." ”
"It's her own stupidity!" Mu Zaohua suddenly became a little excited, "I also gradually heard that Baylor wanted to take her with me when I arrived in Hetuala. Why did she stay? If she wants to be a loyal servant, is the master worth following? The surnamed Zheng was annoyed that his right-hand man was shot to death by the Tong family, so he angered Aya and forced her to hit the knife. No, I even think that it was the surnamed Zheng who killed Aya during the interrogation, and made up a self-judgment for fear of guilt. ”
When Mu Zaohua said this, she took a hard puff of the cigarette holder, and after a moment of silence, she opened the copper cigarette butt and said in a sad tone: "Aya gave birth to a child in Liaoyang, and it took three days for her to come down, she was in pain, I begged the surnamed Zheng to give her a sip of Ah Drift Mother Paste to slow down, but the surname Zheng refused, saying that if this pain is unbearable, she is not worthy of being a dog." ”
Yue Zhen stared at the obscure solid in the tobacco: "This is it?" ”
"That's right," Mu Zaohua dialed the paste with a copper needle, "I asked the North Koreans to buy it today." The body hurts, sucking this works, the heart is uncomfortable, sucking this works even more. ”
Yue Zhen's hand reached out.
Mu Zaohua sighed slightly: "Belle don't smoke too much, this is stronger than dry smoke." ”
Yue Yu closed his eyes in a fresh and strange feeling.
"Miss Mu, I have been in Mingguo and know that you are right. If we occupy Huining, we will not be roe deer in the middle of the river, and we will be able to see the ship and all kinds of good things carried on it. ”
