Chapter 227: Calculations of the Yan Palace
"Zizi...... Multiply. ”
In the dense forest, there was the sound of sawing wood, and two people were sawing a big tree with a saw. Ugly semi-bald hairstyle, in cold weather, wearing only thin cotton clothes, and extremely numb.
Behind them, the rest of the people were digging the roots, a task even more tiring than cutting down trees.
On the other side of the mountain, the roots of the trees were excavated, leaving a pit on the land on which people leveled the land.
Day after day, year after year.
Outside Lao Tieshan, a short man with a semi-bald hairstyle, tired hands and feet were weak, and finally it was time to eat, and he could take a breath.
The people of the Golden State believe in them.
They are the ones who cook, and they are their own people who take care of them.
No one resisted, and when they lost their male hormones, they immediately became cowardly, coupled with the semi-closed and unfamiliar environment of the Golden State.
They have no courage to escape, and where can they go in this unfamiliar land.
The basket that was brought was filled with Shu rice.
Millet is a variant of sorghum, a traditional crop that has been gradually replaced by rice and barley with better taste and yield.
But in Liaodong, it is still cultivated in large quantities.
When the people were eating and eating, the man stared ahead, and saw the mist on the sea in the distance; A long wisp of smoke.
All around, the air is crisp.
The rising sun illuminates the peaks of the surrounding mountains, gradually moving downward, and finally reflects the sails of the sand and the river.
The sun was thick, the fog had lifted, and the water was shining with golden waves. The reflection of the mountain is alive and swaying in the water.
"What a great place." The man muttered.
"Work and work."
In the distance, the overseer shouted fiercely with a whip in his hand, followed by a smug Han man.
When Han Chinese came to the construction site, the supervisors would be particularly fierce.
"Doglegs."
The man lowered his head, cursed secretly in his heart, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran back to the place where he worked, and continued to work with his companions.
The overseers had the same hairstyle as theirs, and in order to protect their status and show their heart, they shaved their heads.
They treat people from the same place with the most ferocious attitude.
"Smack."
The overseer whipped a few lashes and looked flatteringly at the Han man beside him, who ignored it and looked at the progress of the construction site.
Then he gave a satisfied look and patted the overseer on the shoulder, and the overseer was moved and shouted a few unskilled words loudly.
Shouting "loyalty" "loyalty".
China has a kind of princely general, but Japan does not, and the concept of bloodline is still very popular in China even in the 21st century.
For various reasons, these slaves from Japan were extremely attached to the strength of the Han people.
The overseers selected from it are even more loyal, making the management of the forest farm very easy.
The stewards of the forest farm couldn't help but be surprised.
How can there be such obedient and easy-to-use consumables, not only will they not resist when they are unfair, but they will be staggeringly obedient.
They can't stand it.
Even in the conquered Yuan Dynasty, the wind of resistance has never stopped, even if it is the Han Dynasty, as long as there is something bad, it will also resist.
But these Japanese bottoms have been wronged, but they don't seem to have a bottom line, and they don't know what resistance is.
In particular, after several means, no one has escaped so far.
Wang Zhen, the director of the forest farm, was helpless and self-vigilant, and warned the people below not to be negligent, and not to cause self-laxity because there was no case of escape.
At the Old Iron Peak, a lighthouse was built from the forest farm to provide navigation for ships.
Under the old Tieshan lighthouse, there is a steep and dangerous cliff, and the theoretical diagonal between it and Penglai in Shandong is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.
The waves of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, surging from both sides of the cape, converge here, due to the movement of the submarine trench and the different water colors of the two seas.
The Yellow Sea is bluer and the Bohai Sea is slightly yellow, and under the action of the two currents, a "distinct" flow is formed, that is, the boundary between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.
"The total number of forest farm workers today is 5,221, and the number of slave laborers is more than 1,900."
Dim.
In the office, Wang Zhen wrote a report that would be sent to the headquarters, because slave laborers died every month, and every once in a while there were new people, so Wang Zhen only wrote an approximate number.
"More than 50,000 acres of land have been cultivated, and among the forest farm workers, there are 32 boatmen, 76 apprentices, and 123 fishing boats have been produced so far."
"Three ice cellars, two salting farms, one salt boiling farm, one horse farm, more than 500 sheep, 300 pigs, 50 cattle, chickens, ducks and geese are not counted."
"The most scarce thing in the forest farm is cattle and large livestock mules and donkeys, and I hope that the headquarters can support 100 cattle, 200 mules and donkeys, and also need experienced fishermen."
……
"There is a scholar named Li Xueyan who came to Jinzhou the day before yesterday and wanted to come to Lushun, but was rejected by Commander Sun on the grounds of military importance."
……
The headquarters of the forest farm was established in Lushun.
Jinzhou is a protruding piece in the southeast of Liaodong, is the most marginal area of the Liaodong Peninsula, the most mysterious thing is that the connection between Jinzhou and Liaozuo, there is only a long and narrow road.
After Jinzhou City and Nanguan, it is an open terrain.
There are plains for farming, abundant water flows, mountains and forests for trees, and mining areas for ore.
As long as you control Jinzhou City and South Guam Island, you will be able to protect the rear area, which is really one of the best places, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rich in resources.
Such an important place, now the ownership is unknown, and it is in the hands of King Yan, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Li Xueyan traveled from Daning to Liaodong.
According to Daning Liu Zhen's guidance, one of the most influential generals in Liaodong is the Guo family, as long as the Guo family is wooed and has the support of the Guo family, then the influence of King Yan in Liaodong can be squeezed out.
There are Liao kings, Han kings, and Shen kings in Liaodong.
They are Zhu Yuanzhang's fifteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first sons.
The eldest Liao king, who was only eighteen years old, had not been in the domain for a long time, and the other two princes were too young to be raised in the capital.
Historically, the latter two princes never became vassals for the rest of their lives.
Li Xueyan found Zhou Xing in Guangning.
He's got the hang of it.
King Yan's influence is great, because of Daning and Liaodong, many generals are from the Yanshan line and belong to King Yan's old subordinates.
These people are counting on a lot, and only the generals who have been transferred from other places can try to win them over.
Daning Liu Zhen gave Li Xueyan a lot of help, and now that he came to Liaodong, he found Zhou Xing again.
Zhou Xing understood the local situation in Liaodong and hit it off with Li Xueyan.
"The Guo family is counting on a lot." Zhou Xing told Li Xueyan very firmly, saying: "The young lady of the Guo family has been in the palace for a few months, and Guo Yishi even went to see King Yan in person. ”
Li Xueyan didn't know much about the Guo family, because the Guo family was not a top-level family, so he asked curiously, "Didn't Guo Ying, the head of the Guo family, have been transferred back to the capital a long time ago, how can there still be such a big force in Liaodong." ”
"This matter is a long story, and we have to start with the history in the army."
"I want to hear about it."
Zhou Xing pondered for a moment and sorted out his thoughts, "The foundation of King Yan comes from the command of Xu Guogong. ”
"The foundation of the guards of Daning comes from the command of King Yan."
"Liaodong belongs to Shandong, not Beiping, so King Yan's influence on Liaodong is not as good as Daning's."
"The Guo family followed the saint and started early, and at first the saint guarded the saint, although he won the trust of the saint, but his qualifications were weak, and he did not have his own line, and he was close to the first line of Song Guogong and Yingguo Gong."
Zhou Xing was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stopped talking.
Li Xueyan looked at Zhou Xing in confusion.
Zhou Xing walked to the side and picked up the kettle, poured a bowl of tea, then dipped his fingers in the tea bowl and wrote a blue word on the table.
"After this line was liquidated, Liaodong's side was also greatly affected, and the Guo family, which was originally not prominent, stood up."
Zhou Xing was speechless in surprise.
After a long time, he muttered, "There are a lot of truths in your guards. ”
Zhou Xing smiled and said casually: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and our guard is more closed than outside, and the Tao in it is very deep. ”
"Doesn't that mean that the Guo family is saying the same thing in Liaodong?" Li Xueyan asked solemnly.
"No, the lintel of the Guo family can't hold up."
Zhou Xing waved his hand.
Not even a national prince, how can he afford to hold up the banner.
The Xu family's mountain is the largest, and the largest branch of it was inherited by King Yan, and the rest were also divided.
Although the Xu brothers are in charge of three in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, their name is greater than their reality, and their strength back then is far from comparable.
Even so, the Xu family is still the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be respected everywhere they go.
As for the rising star, the new leader of the army, Lan Yu, the faction in the Blue Jade army was liquidated by the saints, and there was no one to inherit it.
However, some forces fell to Jinzhou in the name of exile, which should not be underestimated in Zhou Xing's opinion.
"Over there in Jinzhou, Mr. Li has understood?"
Li Xueyan shook his head.
"I've seen it under the command of Jinzhouwei, but I can't say much, and as for Lushun, I'm stopping it outside."
"Jinzhou was originally subordinate to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and we can still find out, since King Yan intervened, it has become mysterious."
"You think the Golden State is dangerous?" Li Xueyan asked curiously.
Zhou Xing nodded and pointed to the word "blue" that gradually dried up and disappeared.
"This one is a great martial artist, the most powerful one in the past few years, it should not fall into the hands of King Yan."
"It is equal to the two strongest forces, the old and the new, have fallen into the hands of King Yan, only in terms of talents, who can resist them?"
Zhou Xing's thinking angle, Li Xueyan never thought of it, and looked at Zhou Xing in a daze, unable to speak for a while.
"What do you think should be done?"
Soon, Li Xueyan was surprised.
Zhou Xing quickly said: "Zhuang De, who has 30,000 guards, is an elite soldier with a heart for the imperial court, and it is worth a trip to Mr. Li." ”
"I heard that there are fishing boats in Jinzhou, and there are people in the open sea who don't know their origins, if Mr. can find out this information, so as to impeach the Yanwang Mansion, even if Jinzhou is separated from the Yanwang, it can ensure the stability of Liaodong."
Li Xueyan had a direction and finally smiled.
There is one more chapter a little later
