Chapter 388: Hit, Hit Hard

The last red glow dissipated, and the sky and earth were dark.

The construction of Jibei City began more than a month ago, and the framework has been completed. In particular, the five major military camps in the southeast, northwest, and central regions were the first to be planned and built. In the personal guard camp, the soldiers of the Tiger Girl Army were led to the barracks to settle down.

Chao Gai and his entourage were invited to the temporary Taishou Mansion.

Although it is a slightly more spacious house, no one will mind. Before Wen Huanzhang greeted him, he arranged to kill pigs and sheep and have a large feast. It mainly focuses on all kinds of seafood, supplemented by pork and mutton, as well as island specialties.

The big black man got the news and rushed back to see Chao Gai. plus the other two big black men Yutai and Chen Hu, reunited, and the ghosts cried wolf.

There were these three big men shouting, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm. Some grassroots officials have found Chao Gai to toast and thank him. They were originally unambitious talents, but now they have entered the career in a new way.

To Chao Gai, they have only respect and gratitude!

Chao Gai also has the courage to talk to these people one by one, and encourage this group of civil officials trained by Chaojiazhuang themselves to practice and sharpen themselves.

Everyone talked about wine, told anecdotes, and mentioned the planning of the Chao family's army. It lasted until late at night, when the guests and hosts were happy, and then they dispersed.

Time flies, and it's the next day in a blink of an eye!

In the land of three poles in the sun, Chao Gai was dressed in a military uniform, draped all over his body, and led the carriage escorted by the guards to Jeju Island for inspection.

Starting from the west of Jibei City, all the way around in a circle, a few miles away from the city is a large area of neat farmland, most of which grow peppers, cabbage and other vegetables. Only a small number of large patches of golden paddy are about to ripen.

This is the first group of people who migrated to catch the autumn planting.

In the middle of this plain, small forests are dotted with village settlements. There are three or two hundred families in each village, and those who know each other are given priority. A person of prestige serves as the chief of the guard, keeping the integrity and handling the trivial affairs of the village.

At present, there are more than 30 villages like this, scattered around the city. After leaving the Jibei Plain, you can see large areas of mountains and rocks and forests.

Sure enough, as Wen Huanzhang said.

The forest is undulating, with towering ancient trees and lush vegetation, and there are countless pheasants and hares. There is no shortage of beasts such as bobcats, timberwolves, leopards, etc.

Finally, the east side is a relatively flat land, and it is also a gathering place for indigenous people, mainly fishing, supplemented by gathering, backward technology, and primitive equipment.

Chao Gai didn't bring people over to disturb, but led the team directly to the southeast region. Sure enough, it is a natural pasture with no end in sight, a river flowing from Hallasan Mountain into the sea, with loose trees on both sides and fertile water and grass.

The Chaojia Military Horse Farm is located here.

Mainly herdsmen from the north, some captives from Zengtou City (raised horses here.

Chao Gai led the team to the ranch station, looked at the huge military camp that was about to be completed, and then looked at the uncommanded garrison, and turned his head to look at his side: "Brother Chen Yun, you are temporarily serving as the commander of the garrison of the military horse farm." Raise the army no matter what, and someone will bring you back later. ”

"Yes." An eight-foot-tall man patted his horse and stepped forward to receive the order: "Brother, don't worry, with me, the military horse farm, and even Jeju Island are safe and sound." ”

That's right, Chaogai made a lot of preparations when he came to Jeju Island. The military horse farm and the selection of generals of the Jeju Island Guard Army are all considered. Just like the iron fist Chen Yun was requisitioned, the deputy general of the sixth and seventh armies of the cavalry, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Yi, the mountain wrestler, were transferred, and they were assigned special tasks.

There's no way around it, there's not enough manpower!

That's why the cavalry lieutenant general, who is highly mobile and easy to manage, was assigned an important task.

Browsed the military horse farm, there were herds of cattle and sheep, and adapted to the environment of the island. Chao Gai nodded with satisfaction, and did not forget to tell Chen Yun that special treatment should be given in special circumstances. Unite with the Han herdsmen in the north and beware of Jurchen captives.

The military horse farm is the last stop.

Everyone had lunch at the military horse farm, and when they rode back to Jibei City. I found that a large group of people gathered here, and there were many familiar faces among them. It was they who migrated by boat together, and Wen Huanzhang and other officials were also there.

After inquiry, I learned that this was a division of land for the people.

With an order to ignite, more than a dozen selected ignition points were ignited at the same time. Some of the weedy vines were engulfed in flames and spread rapidly forward. Until the flame is extinguished, dust spills will make the land more fertile. ,

The onlookers cheered loudly, and everyone clapped their hands. The notice is right, the land is about to be divided, and fifty acres of land will be divided!

It's something they can't even think of!

A small family of three or four worried about whether they would be able to finish cultivating the land.

Chao Gai is not worried about this, it should be no problem to grab fifty acres of land. Even if you really can't plant it, someone will arrange it if you report it to the government.

After Wen Huanzhang personally presided over the ceremony, he handed over the matter of land division to his protΓ©gΓ©. Unexpectedly, he saw Chao Gai leading the team to come, so he walked with a smile.

Everyone talked and laughed and returned to Jibei City.

When the team of stone carriers returned, the first officer on horseback shook his whip and shouted at the laborers: "Hurry up, you guys go quickly." Grind and grind again. Lao Tzu's horsewhip, you can't be whipped. ”

"What do you see? Meals halved tonight. ”

A man in the cart was full of anger, and was immediately whipped by the people around him. hit the "oops", didn't dare to look at it again, buried his head in the cart.

"Oh roar, military advisor, why is this picture a little wrong?"

Chao Gai saw that the attitude of the soldiers was so bad, but there were many soldiers around him who witnessed it but did not stop it, he was a little puzzled, and turned his head to look at Wen Huanzhang.

Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Li Kai and others are also full of doubts.

Wen Huanzhang explained with a smile: "The lord doesn't know, this is not Han. ”

"Aren't you Han?" Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then guessed who these people were.

He knew that when the team was clearing the land on the island, they were surrounded by a team claiming to be a Goryeo garrison. Only then was the army that arrived counter-besieged. Due to the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, the other side surrendered without fighting, and then attacked the Goryeo army garrison and wiped it out.

Chao Gai looked these strong laborers up and down, and they were basically no different from the Han people.

"These are Goryeo captives?"

"That's right, these are the Goryeo captives." Wen Huanzhang nodded and shook his head: "They don't have much ability, they don't have a small temper, they always use the pretext of preferential treatment of prisoners, they work secretly and treacherously, whether it is clearing wasteland or building houses, they are inferior to people everywhere, they eat a lot, they can't do anything, and they don't have anything left to eat." ”

Everyone gasped and was amazed by the last comment. Wen Huanzhang is a generous person who never blushes with others. He can say the sentence "What to do, what to eat, what is left", it is conceivable that during this period of time, there was no less headache for this group of Goryeo captives.

Indeed, Wen Huanzhang said as he spoke, with a crying and laughing expression on his face: "The worst thing is that these captives wanted to snatch the ship and escape, but they were surrounded and surrendered without boarding the ship, and even dived into the sea and wanted to swim away, but the funny thing is that they were not physically strong, but they called for help from the patrol." ”

Chao Gai frowned, and emphasized viciously: "Fight, fight to the death!" Most of the Koreans are afraid of the weak and the hard, and they are not honest if they don't fight. In the future, if there is an escape, the leader will be shocked in public. ”

"What the lord said is very true, Wen remembers that he once said that you can't be merciful to foreign races. Therefore, he ordered that he be strictly guarded, dealt with according to the law, and either beaten or scolded. It is true that there is a lot of peace, and it is concentrated in the quarry to take care of the labor. ”

"These people are strong from the outside, and they have to use tough means."

"My lord, the officers among the captives in Goryeo are clamoring to see you, and they have something to say."

"Let's go back and see what we have to say?"

The convoy transporting the stone passed, and Chao Gai and Wen Huanzhang went straight to Jibei City. By the way, the general horse farm garrison officer Iron Fist Chen Yun reintroduced, and Wen Zhongrong and Choi Yi will also serve as garrison generals to defend Jeju Island.

Temporary Taishou House.

Chao Gai sits high in the main seat, and Wen Huanzhang sits sideways. On the left and right, there are Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Yu Tai, Chen Hu, Chen Yun and other people will stand in an arc. Everyone was fully armed, carrying knives, and all of them wrinkled their eyebrows and stared out.

Moments later, more than two dozen prisoners claiming to be officers were pushed and shoved into the hall. Just came down from the mine, gray and embarrassed. The first thirty-year-old man had a dirty face, but his mustache was clean and upturned. A pair of eyes are bright, and the dripping and turning is very treacherous.

"You Song people are rude and barbaric, we are nobles."

was forcibly pushed by the soldiers, and the group of people was still dissatisfied, and they kept chattering. The faces of everyone including Chao Gai darkened because they understood.

Since Wen Zhongrong, Cui Yi, and Xu Guanzhong, three people who are good at speaking Goryeo, joined Chaojiazhuang. He privately taught a group of people to learn the Korean language. The Commanders also often join in the fun, but they are not proficient in simple speaking. For example, the words barbaric, rude, aristocratic and so on spoken by this group of guys.

More than 20 captives approached with unkind eyes, and the guy with the most luxuriant beard glanced around, and found that he only knew Wen Huanzhang, and shouted like an old acquaintance: "Mr. Wen, who is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"This is, why don't you come to see it?" Wen Huanzhang frowned and thought about it, pointed to Chao Gai beside him, and introduced it in fluent Goryeo.

Chaogai, the title of the king of the northeast, was used to deter and reasonably occupy the island.

This group of captives did not dare to be too arrogant, and they all bowed to Chao Gai and saluted. Talking about greeting the prince, the prince is auspicious and so on.

"Bold, you group of embarrassed talents, why don't you kneel down when you see the prince?" Chen Hu, Yutai jumped out and drank, but the Korean dialect is not very standard. The captives were a little confused, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.

Chao Gai waved his hand to stop it, turned around and asked with a smile: "What do you have to meet this king?" ”

The standard Goryeo dialect made the captives look at each other, and after a while, the oldest mustache stepped forward and held his little head high: "The noble prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the contemptible Jin Yuanyong, is a noble officer of the Goryeo Kingdom. In my capacity as the representative of the Kingdom of Korea, I would like to announce to you. ”

As he spoke, this eight-character beard bowed very formally, waved his hand, and then said righteously: "Lord of the Great Song Dynasty, Tamna Island is my Goryeo territory, and it is immoral for you to send troops to forcibly occupy it, in order to avoid hostility between the two countries, please return the island as soon as possible, otherwise our army is coming." ”

Chao Gai's level was limited, and he didn't understand very well, and after figuring out what the captive said from Wen Zhongrong, he looked at the other party with compassion but didn't say anything. Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Li Huai, Yu Tai and other generals are also killers.
