In September, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Yun Qingshan aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at a fox in front of him, and saw its fiery red figure, as if it was a flowing flame, flowing in a piece of turquoise, he held his breath, the tip of the arrow moved slowly with the flame, and when the flame paused slightly, his finger was sent, and with a "boom" sound, a sharp arrow flew out, solidifying the flame.

"Yun Gongzi is a good archery!" A few people in hunting clothes around him cheered loudly, and with that, a retinue jumped out, took the fox back, and offered it to a few of them, everyone saw that the sharp arrow was inserted in the middle of the fox's head, and it was good to see that this excellent fox fur was preserved, and those people were even more amazed when they saw such archery skills.

Yun Qingshan put the longbow in his hand on the side of the horse, and smiled at the person who cheered loudly: "The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about!" Let Cui Chawan laugh! ”

The group talked and laughed, and walked along the woods, and in the distance, there were constant shouts of retinues, which frightened some small beasts out of the woods and grass. And this Cui Cha visit, holding a short hunting bow in both hands, looking left and right, eager to show himself and his hand immediately.

This is Changyeon, the suburban forest farm of Haeju Mu, one of the few big cities in the Yellow Sea Right Province of the Korean Kingdom, and Choi Chawan, who is holding a hunting bow and looking left and right, his full name is Choi Yanghao, and it is the visit sent by the Joseon royal court to Changyeon. This position, it is difficult to explain, literally, it seems that it should be the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, according to the inspection envoy and the like, but, and the imperial history of the wind, according to the inspection of the envoy of the correction of the style, this position in addition to the above two functions, in an emergency, can also directly take over the local military and political power, well, let's put it this way, this position is a permanent minister.

If it weren't for Yun Qingshan's clear knowledge that he had come here on a sea boat for several days, in a trance, he really thought that he was in Daming, hunting with a group of freshly dressed and angry children of the family.

A burst of birds fluttered up, Cui Yanghao raised the bow in his hand, and shot an arrow at the black press, behind him, some people were already ready to applaud, such a dense number of birds, if it missed, it would be a strange thing?

But things in the world are so strange, just like their loyal and brave naval commander Yi Sun-sin decades ago, when the battle fully gained the upper hand, he was still wearing armor and sitting in an indestructible turtle boat, and he could still be hit by stray bullets and die. The arrow made a graceful arc, but for some reason, it burrowed through the dense crowd of birds and landed at the end of the woods.

Cui Yanghao's face became a little ugly, and the servants behind him also quietly took back their hands that were about to applaud, and they were a little embarrassed.

"Lord Cui's projectile power is very good, such a short bow can shoot a distance of nearly thirty or fifty zhang, if on the battlefield, there are such archers who can always have half the strength of adults, those Jurchen Tartars are afraid that they will not dare to charge against such a rain of arrows!" Yun Qingshan smiled slightly, but there was a very sincere and surprised expression on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest sarcasm.

Hearing this, Cui Yanghao's heart felt a little more comfortable, but he was not interested in boasting about himself, although Yun Qingshan was very good at talking, but he still felt a little embarrassed.

As they spoke, several people rode their horses and walked some distance ahead, and suddenly, everyone saw a gray rabbit staggering out under a tree in front of them, and then fell not far from them. Everyone saw that there was an arrow stuck in the body of this gray rabbit, wasn't it the arrow that their Lord Cui had just shot? And after Cui Yanghao shot the arrow, several people immediately walked towards this side, obviously, even if the people below were trying to please Cui Yanghao, it was too late, and this arrow was really shot by him. Although it was a mistake to hit the second car, but anyway, it really hit the prey.

Cui Yanghao became happy, glanced at the people around him with a high spirit, and glanced at it very arrogantly, and then, following Yun Qingshan's cold words just now, he pretended to be humble and said: "Let Yunjun laugh, I thought that this bow and horse technique was put on for a while, and it was a lot unfamiliar, but I didn't expect that it could still be gained!" ”

You call this "some gains", Yun Qingshan despises this guy very much, is this unclear is a blind cat touching a dead mouse? I'm embarrassed to brag, who are these North Korean officials?

"Two words, admiration!" He held out his thumb, "One word, suit!" ”

"Hahaha!" Seeing his demeanor, Cui Yanghao was in a very comfortable mood, before this, he had already made up his mind to wait until he went back, and he would punish the few subordinates who drove away the beasts, and now he could exchange the admiring eyes of this rich businessman with bright hands and eyes, he felt that those guys who didn't know how to do things, this time, even if it was good luck, he would not hold them accountable for their dereliction of duty.

"This bow and arrow technique, just laughing, it's fun on weekdays, that's it, if it's used in the military formation, it has to rely on a musket!" Cui Yanghao was happy for a while, and brought his topic back to the topic he had been talking about with Yun Qingshan in the past few days.

"Cui Chawan, as far as I know, the artillery factory in Seoul has been working day and night, and the muskets produced, even if they are in your country's army, have a surplus of one per person, why is Cui Chawan always entangled in this matter?"

"Yunjun, are you laughing at us again, compared with the firearms of the Celestial Empire, our muskets are not as good as the horses, not to mention the extremely powerful artillery of the Celestial Empire, our craftsmen, that can't be made in any way, like those muskets in your hands, our craftsmen may not be able to make them?" While speaking, the envy in Cui Yanghao's eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"My craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to come to North Korea no matter what, even if they want to come, the court will not allow it, for you, the court allows you to buy saltpeter and sulfur of the Ming Dynasty, which is already a great grace, you look at other subject countries, which one has such treatment, but if the craftsman who makes firearms is transported to North Korea, it is a great crime, it is discovered, and my Yun's net worth and life will not be guaranteed, this matter, Hugh has to mention it again!"

For Yun Qingshan's refusal, Cui Yanghao seemed to have been prepared for a long time, but he was not angry at all, in fact, he knew this condition, and he was sure that the other party would not agree, even if he agreed, he might not believe it, how could this Ming artillery craftsman be so easy to get, if it was so simple, His Majesty Renzong would directly send a letter to the Emperor of the Heavenly Pilgrimage, wouldn't everything be solved?

It's nothing more than a trick of asking for money and bargaining on the spot, but he has a detailed understanding that this Yunqing Mountain Yunda businessman, and the garrison of the Celestial Empire across the sea, the relationship is extraordinary, in recent years, although those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have not come to cross the sea to North Korea, but for the past, it does not mean that the North Koreans are so easy to forget. A team of 100 people, against more than a dozen Ming soldiers, was beaten in a mess, in addition to the personal factors of the soldiers, the soldiers' weapons also occupied a large reason.

Smelting technology, firearms technology, North Korea is not inadequate, but the things made are always worse than the Ming Dynasty, and even not compared with the Ming Dynasty, there is also a distance between them and the Japanese slaves across the sea. At present, although the Japanese slaves have stopped, but there is a commotion in the north again, those Jurchens are even more terrible than the Japanese slaves, at this time, they can get a batch of excellent weapons of the Ming Dynasty, which is more precious than ten thousand taels of gold, which is also the reason why he is a visiting envoy of Changyuan, but he has made friends with a merchant, without him, this merchant can get what he needs, compared to those merchants who only sell food, this person's value is naturally much better.

Of course he didn't know, this Yun Qingshan was not an ordinary businessman, could an ordinary businessman's ship have such a terrifying Franc cannon, and could there be so many firearms with a range of up to 100 steps? The firearms factory in Seoul can only make muskets now, although they are called guns, but compared to other people's firearms, it is greatly inferior, not to mention the bulky, to fifty or sixty steps away, basically it can't hurt people, compared to the firearms brought by Yun Qingshan, it is like a child's play.

Cui Yanghao is a son of a family, if you want to divide factions, his family belongs to the Beiren faction in the Dongren Party, and it is also the Qing Xiaobei in the Xiaobei faction, he understands very well that if he can say that he can move this businessman called Yun Qingshan, he can bring this kind of sharp weapon to North Korea continuously, whether it is for his personal career or the future of the family, it is a great benefit, what to resist the Jurchens, it is all a disguise, to be able to master such powerlessness, for the Qing Xiaobei faction, is undoubtedly to have a greater say in the court, isn't it because the Westerners are in control of the army, and they are arrogant? This feng shui turns, and it is time for the northerners to take power.

Yun Qingshan is also sitting on wax, he is a member of the heavenly crew who directly obeys Mu Zhenfu's orders, and he is also the first batch of people to be recruited into the heavenly machine, the reason is very simple, he is a homeless person from Xuejiadao, he can read and write, and he followed the businessman to North Korea in his early years, so among the first batch of people sent to North Korea to spy on the family, his name is at the top of the list.

He came as a sea merchant, and the location he chose was to directly face the North Korean Yellow Sea Right Road in Dengzhou Weihaiwei, his task was very simple, to make friends with local North Korean officials and understand the dynamics of the North Korean court, but this does not mean that he could agree to Cui Yanghao's requests, he did not get instructions in this regard, but at this moment, he did not dare to fool this Cui Yanghao, the consequences were not something he could bear with a hot head at the moment, he refused Cui Yanghao, but he did not completely close the door, even if this Cui Yanghao was unhappy, I won't directly regard him as persona non grata, after all, in addition to what popular Daming luxury goods he can bring, there is still hope that he can get what the Cui family wants, right?
