Pu Demeng came in with a gloomy face, wearing the roughest cloth robe and disheveled hair. Park Demeng was originally a very active young man, but now he looks like a different person.
The two guards followed closely. Feng Zongze sighed secretly. He had guessed Pu Demeng's intention.
He performed the traditional ceremony far away from Feng Zongze.
"Chief..."
"Pu Demeng, please get up."
"Yes, Chief." Pu Demeng stood up and said respectfully: "Sir... I have a request, please grant the Chief's permission."
"Say it."
"I was raised by my elder brother when I was a child. From the time I was sent thousands of miles away, until I settled in Jeju, it was my elder brother who took care of me..." Park Dehuan said the emotional part and was already bursting into tears. "I know that my elder brother's crime is unforgivable and he has betrayed the leader." Trust. It's all his own fault." He wiped his tears with his sleeves. "The national laws of the Song Dynasty are ruthless, and I will never dare to intercede for him. But once my brother is sent away, he may never return to Jeju. In this world Only my two brothers can no longer bear to be separated..."
As he said that, he wiped his tears again: "I am willing to follow my brother...and please give me your permission!"
Feng Zongze was silent for a long time, and then said: "Our Senate attaches great importance to governing the country according to the law, and there is no such thing as involving relatives. Your brother is your brother, and you are you. It is unreasonable for you to ask for help, and it is also inconsistent with the law. It doesn't match." He said and stood up and took a few steps. "No matter who is employed by me in the senate, regardless of his or her background, or his level of education, as long as he is loyal, reliable, and works sincerely, we can trust him and we will never call you that. There’s no end. Don’t doubt yourself.” He stood up and took a few steps, “Just do your thing well.”
Ever since the arson and poisoning failed, and the news came that Zhao Minggui and others were killed in one fell swoop, all the people gathered in the Jin family manor in Suwon-dong became ants on the hot pot.
In the society of the Li Dynasty, where social classes were almost solidified, the second-grade Jin Wanyi was not only a rich man, but also a member of the Yangban class. He was almost the embodiment of power, wealth and status among the locals.
After Jeju's D-Day, he took advantage of the chaos and annexed a large number of official horse farms. He obtained tens of thousands of official horses and cattle, and even the official slaves and soldiers who guarded the racecourse were incorporated into his command. The wealth on the island is huge.
Various landowners and herdsmen in the interior had always looked up to him, and now they were following him closely, fearing that they would not be loyal enough in this "troubled time" in Jeju. His land and wealth were annexed by Lord Jin.
This group of people gathered in Mr. Kim’s Suwon-dong manor, always ready to follow Mr. Kim’s movements. In addition to ensuring the safety of their own wealth and lives, they could also make a profit in the chaos: although most of the official horse farms fell into the hands of Mr. Kim. , but many around the three cities were also taken away by Japanese kings. I heard that the Japanese soldiers brought a lot of people, food and supplies to the island. If we kill the Japanese bandits in one go, the bulk of them will inevitably be taken away by the officers and soldiers and Mr. Jin. I can still make some soup at home.
With this kind of thinking, after Huang Yunyu came back from the mainland and brought back a letter from Shin Kyung-yu, the Jeolla-do military envoy, Suwon-dong had already begun to build up troops and prepare to recruit "rebels".
The first thing is to collect food and grass from all over the island. "Volunteers" are very cheap. They don't need to spend any military pay, not even the stamp money for collecting them. They can come and fight for their masters just by giving orders from everywhere. But after all, you can't fight a war when you're hungry - you have to win the war. They have to be fed.
The water temperature conditions in Jeju Island are actually not bad, but the soil is not suitable for growing rice, and most of the crops are grown. Yield is very low. Most of the inland areas are pastures, so each family's manor has limited food reserves. Although they tried their best to mobilize food and grass, they could only scrape together four thousand nominal soldiers to eat food for half a month.
Naturally, these actions cannot be hidden from the eyes of the special reconnaissance team. Since ancient times, collecting food has been a prelude to war. According to the self-study textbook "Important Matters in the Battle 1632" issued by the General Staff not long ago: war mobilization in agricultural societies usually starts with large-scale collection of grain and grass. Once farmers' grain stocks fall below their survival needs, farmers can only Given the choice between joining the village warriors, militia, or rising up, peasants usually choose the former if the ruling authority has not been destroyed.
Although the official government of the Lee Dynasty on Jeju Island had been destroyed, the inland areas were almost untouched, and most of the residents in the inland were official and private slaves and tenants with strong personal dependence. The master is their god. You have to do whatever you are told.
The Special Reconnaissance Team keeps them under constant surveillance. Pay attention to their movements.
After the 320 incident, the atmosphere near Suwon-dong suddenly became tense. Not only did a large number of volunteers gather here every day, but the special investigation team also discovered that some owners of smaller manors were "moving" to the Suwon-dong manor. Transport family property and family members.
The "flawless" plan originally planned turned out to be a complete failure. This caused the inland gentlemen to panic. Some people advocated concentrating their efforts on holding on to a few well-fortified main manor houses, while sending envoys to the Jeolla Province soldiers Shin Jingyu to report the situation, and waiting for reinforcements from officers and soldiers before responding.
Others think that since they have already broken up. To wait for the officers and soldiers to come is to sit and wait for death - who knows whether the officers and soldiers will come. The only way is to recruit all the strong men to fight to the death while the Japanese pirates are not yet established.
Although the Japanese pirates were powerful and had many firearms, some people believe that during the Miura Japanese Rebellion, hundreds of Jeju rebels defeated the Japanese pirates and fled in panic. No matter how powerful these Japanese pirates of unknown origin were, they still had ten times the "righteousness" "Soldiers", even if they can't annihilate them in one blow, they can still defeat the Japanese Kun's half-remnants - or even make them fearful and dare not invade the inland. Wait until the imperial soldiers arrive before making any calculations.
At the end of the discussion, everyone finally thought that we should be cautious - after all, the reputation of Japanese Kun has spread to the inland, and most people still murmured a little. Moreover, when fighting inland, everyone is familiar with the terrain, and it is easier to maintain the morale of the volunteers, and it also saves food and transportation capacity.
The volunteers who were recruited began to repair the fortifications on a large scale. While they were working in full swing, a special expedition team had quietly arrived at Suwon-dong.
Suwon-dong is the center of all resistance forces on the island. Knocking out this place and capturing Jin Wanyi alive would be equivalent to "beheading" the remaining local forces of the Li Dynasty on the island.
Therefore, this special advance team was organized into three four-person attack teams - other crusade teams were only organized into one team to be used as guides, scouts and snipers.
The special advance expedition team is centered on a platoon of the Fubo Army, and is reinforced by one company each of the Japanese security forces, the White Horse Team, and the National Army's Jeju Advance Column. In addition, two 12-pound mountain howitzers are strengthened as offensive weapons.
The elders always feel that using a fully-organized special reconnaissance team and modern weapons to fight a regular war is equivalent to playing a game with a cheating device. Using a special reconnaissance team in a place like Jeju Island where the combat power is a joke is simply playing a very retarded game. If you cheat on the easy difficulty of the game, you will probably be laughed at for the rest of your life. However, Xue Ziliang believes that this action is of great significance to strengthening the security of the entire island, and must be killed in one fell swoop like a tiger pounces on a sheep.
On a mountain in Suwon-dong, two people were trekking in the forest. Judging from their tattered clothes and tired faces, they were poor people here and had been in the mountains for a long time.
"Dad, you won't encounter Japanese pirates, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense and find a way!"
Jin Dawu and Jin Dawu, father and son, carried axes and freshly cut wood to find a way out of the mountain. The mountain fog has been very heavy these days. The two volunteers who followed the logging team into the mountain to cut trees seemed to have lost their way. They were afraid of encountering The Japanese pirates did not dare to walk out of the woods easily, so they groped forward, unaware that it was almost dark.
People's names often place their family's expectations on them. Poor Chinese people like to name Bao, Fu, and Gui. Rich people like to use Wen, Wu, and Chao in their names. Officials' families use Virtue, Talent, and Xian. Basically, they name whatever they lack. . People share this sentiment, and so do the Koreans. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this family is poor. As a family of sharecroppers, they did not even own the homestead.
Last year's food was not enough to eat after paying the rent, and there was a spring famine as soon as spring started. While I was having no choice but to suffer, I heard that Japanese pirates were coming to the sea. The owner of the village borrowed two and a half bushels of grain on the condition that if he came out as a volunteer, he would not only have enough to eat, but he would also agree to waive half of this year's rent.
Of course it would be nice to have plenty to eat and rent-free accommodation. But what the father and son are most concerned about is that if they are really beheaded by Japanese pirates, the owner of the village will definitely think that they have escaped, and the wife, brothers and sisters at home may not survive this winter.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a gong, followed by the whining of a conch horn. The fourteen-year-old Jin Tao wanted to run away, but when he wanted to run, he suddenly felt that his legs were not working. The father in his thirties Gritting his teeth, he dragged his son and stumbled out of the woods. Then there was a blast from an iron cannon. Jin Dawu's legs stopped working. Then he felt like he was kicked hard and he rolled to the ground.
Yabei chased down the hill with three or four people holding a rifle. The injured father of the Jin family had already peeed out, and his pants were stained red with blood. This time, it was his son who was holding on to his father. My arms were rolling and I was running forward, and my nose was filled with tears and runny nose. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese pirates had caught up with them and kicked them to the ground. Yabei thought to himself that eating Australian rice and fish every day would indeed give him strength. He had also crawled for his life in the same way on Mount Tenno back then, but his poor father did not escape.
If it weren't for this inexplicable distraction, the heads of the Jin family and his son would have been moved. Since the chief is not very interested in beheading, there is no need to take credit. But Yabei, who came from a samurai family, always wanted to chop off the enemy's head like a donkey.
