Korea, Tamluo, Zhoucheng, Beigang Township.
After Wu Laozhi expressed his thoughts, he quickly received the approval and praise of Yuan Dagui, the local Zhengyuan of Beigang Township. The latter not only thought that this guy was a talented man with a flexible mind, but also prepared to report to the state government based on his suggestions. The governor even wrote a letter to pilot a new economic policy for the Korean aborigines in Beigang Township! When Wu Laoshi saw that his Shangguan had adopted his suggestion, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and took Gaoergou, Li Sanwa and others to be the first to eat the crab!
"Sir, since it is the villain's proposal to send capable men under the leadership of the Korean naturalized people to enter the aboriginal villages for face-to-face transactions, then based on the principle of our Chiyang, whoever proposes will be executed, please allow the villain to lead the high school students Gou, Li Sanwa, Liu Sanji, and Ai Xiaodou formed the first caravan and went deep into the villages and towns of the Korean aborigines to buy the livestock and various materials that we in Chiyang urgently needed! It just so happened that the four of them were free these days. , you can first familiarize yourself with the naturalized guide and get familiar with the roads..."
"Well, since you made the suggestion first, you should lead the team yourself and go deep into the aboriginal village to complete the first purchase! In this way, you can choose two archers from the elders and four civilians to go with you , and also find Secretary Qiu, go to the warehouse to get twenty copper coins and bring them with you. We Chiyang are not happy to let the horses run away again, and we don’t let the horses eat grass! This time, if you can open up the situation for us, in addition to I will also report to the state government and give you a reward of ten taels of silver for the official position I promised you earlier! In a word, do it well. We Chiyang Xingxing has occupied Tamluo Island again. Some of us have official positions and titles. As long as you are really capable, I think the Lord Guard will definitely not be stingy with just a few honors! When the time comes, you will be famous and enjoy glory, but don’t forget to treat you, Brother Yuan, to a good old wine..."
Wu Laoshi couldn't help but be touched when he saw that his Shangguan agreed to his request without thinking and even provided him with security personnel very considerately! So, the man immediately adjusted his robes, and then kneeled on the ground again with his four brothers. At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind to go to the aboriginal village to purchase livestock. , I must make some achievements to repay Yuan Dagui for his kindness!
"Don't worry, sir. When we go to the aboriginal village, I will definitely go all out and purchase enough livestock and supplies to repay your kindness..."
With the support of personnel and money, Wu Laoshi ordered Gao Ergou, Li Sanwa, Liu Sanji, and Ai Xiaodou to push two wheelbarrows and two flatbed trucks out of the township office warehouse in the afternoon to transport the slaughtered pork. The two archers and the four people Zhuang accepted his order and put on the clothes of the common people, and quietly hid the short knives and crossbows for self-defense in the mezzanine of the flatbed truck! After all, their mission this time is to go to the aboriginal villages to purchase livestock, not to go to war. If the other party discovers their true identity, it is very likely that the transaction will not be completed, and they will have to fight with the Korean aborigines. field! At this time, Tamna Island was not at peace. In addition to the regular flag troops, reserve troops, and new auxiliary troops stationed in the villages and towns directly under Chiyang, there were groups of broken troops, bandits, green skins, and people hiding in dilapidated houses everywhere. They are preparing to attack caravans and passers-by in the dark, and those Korean aboriginals who look extremely honest are not as harmless as they appear. If the caravan has fewer people, it is really possible that these guys will take advantage of them. black!
New Sanyang Fort.
"Wu Shuli, let's climb over this hill. In front of us is the new Sanyang Fort newly established by the state capital. Are you sure that after we enter, we don't need to ask the local garrison for help? You know, there are only fourteen people in our group. If Something happened, but we can’t withstand the siege of hundreds of Korean natives!”
"No! Not only do you not need to alert the local garrison, you only need to allocate half of your manpower to follow me in! Again, we are here to do business, not to fight with the Koreans. It's useless at all, and it may even attract their attention! Next, I will personally take Gao Ergou, Li Sanwa and the others into Sanyang Fort to negotiate with the Korean farmers face to face! As for you, just stay Wait outside the fort. If anything happens, I will immediately launch a flag flower rocket to notify you to come for rescue..."
Seeing that he had arrived at his destination, Wu Laoshi stretched out his hand to stop Archer and Minzhuang who were about to enter the cave with him! They are all paramilitary personnel who usually patrol and detect theft. Naturally, they carry a sense of normalcy.
It is a power that is incomparable to others, and this power is likely to arouse the suspicion of interested people! Therefore, Wu Laoshi arranged for them to wait outside the fort, while he, Gao Ergou, Li Sanwa, Liu Sanji, and Ai Xiaodou slowly entered the heavily defended Xin Sanyang, pushing two wheelbarrows and two flatbed trucks. Fort settlement.
After checking the identity badges and introduction documents, the reserve sergeant guarding the city quickly opened the heavy fort door and let Wu Laoshi and his party into the fort! Different from the villages and towns directly under Chiyang that are only surrounded by low earth walls, the new Sanyang fort wall moved from more than a dozen Korean villages is two feet and two feet high. Except for the four fort gates in the east, west, south and north, the other places are No matter how skilled you are, it is impossible for a person to climb over without the help of tools, not to mention that a trench one to five feet deep was dug outside the fort, which was filled with cut bamboo thorns and wooden thorns. If a person accidentally fell in, it would not take more than three seconds. It’s time for the whole village to have a feast! Although only a small part of the entire city wall and trench project has been completed, the towering observation tower outside the fort and the numerous muskets and cannons on the tower have already made most people give up their unrealistic ideas! After all, guns and shells are not discerning. If the defenders regard him as a rebel with different aspirations and kill him on the spot because of his sneaky behavior, then who should he ask to reason with him?
Okay, let’s get down to business! Wu Laoshi led his four brothers, pushing a wheelbarrow and a flatbed cart along the bumpy dirt road in the fort, and soon arrived at the door of the house of Hong Shunji, the largest former landowner in the west of the fort! Zheng Nansheng led his men to break into his house and confiscate all his property. The family moved to Tamna City and lived under guard for a period of time. Later, because he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes and enjoyed a certain prestige among the Korean people, he was released by the state government. Live in the new Sanyang Fort! Moreover, in order to appease and win over this Korean scholar, after consulting his superiors, Tamna Hufang returned the house and a small amount of family property, including forty-five sheep, twenty-six pigs and five Eleven chickens! As soon as Wu Laoshi entered the fort, he took his little brother and went straight here. Apparently he had received information from people familiar with the matter in advance!
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
"Who are you and what are you doing here? My master is not in the house today. If you have anything to do, please come back tomorrow!"
Seeing that the target mansion was close at hand, Wu Laoshi did not hesitate and immediately signaled Ai Xiaodou, the youngest among the group, to come forward and knock on the door! Soon, with the sound of a copper ring knocking on the door, the door opened! An old man dressed as a Korean servant stuck his head out and asked in extremely broken Chinese.
"Old man, we are merchants coming from the county town. We have heard for a long time that Mr. Hong is a famous person in Sanyang, so we came here to visit! I hope the old man can inform you. Thank you very much!"
"당신은조선인입니까, 중국인입니까 (Are you Korean or Chinese)?"
I saw several people who refused to leave after hearing this and insisted on seeing their master! After the old servant of Hong Shunji's house thought for a moment, he immediately burst out a string of fluent Korean dialects from his mouth. He was testing the identities of several people. If the visitors were Han people, they would definitely not understand what he meant. If the person is Korean, he will immediately use Korean to communicate with him! There is war and chaos outside right now, and the new conquerors are paying special attention to Hong Shunji, so be especially careful when doing anything or coming into contact with anyone!
"저는조선인입니다.이번에홍선생을찾아옵니다.장사를상담하기위해서입니다 (I am a Korean. This time I came to see Mr. Hong to discuss a business)..."
Wu Laoshi was not at all anxious when he heard the old servant of Hong Shunji's house speak Korean dialect. He could not understand Korean dialect, but there were Korean naturalized people around him! Therefore, under the signal from his eyes, the naturalized citizen named Sanshun immediately stepped forward and started talking to the other party in fluent Korean. When the latter saw that the other party's servant could speak Korean, he took it for granted that the rest The five people also understood the Korean dialect, so they nodded and told the six people to take a rest at the door, while he closed the door and went into the inner room to announce!
"You are not Koreans, because I see the shadow of people from the government in you! Tell Hong, why are you here? Is it to collect taxes, hunt down resistance elements, or something else? As long as If it doesn’t violate morality too much, I will definitely cooperate with you!”
Contrary to what his old servant thought, Hong Shunji, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt and a scarf, could tell at a glance that
Wu Laoshi and others are not Koreans! However, he did not just walk away. Instead, he bowed deeply to the latter very politely, then turned sideways and raised his right hand to signal everyone to follow him into the hospital! To be honest, this guy's pedantic habits have changed a lot due to his previous detention and living life. In addition, his wife, children and young children are still serving as hostages in Tamna Prefecture City! Therefore, facing the Akito conqueror whom he originally hated, his attitude also changed subtly without even realizing it!
"Oh, it turns out that sir can speak Chinese, that's great! Previously, Xiaoke was worried that the translator could not accurately convey the meaning of both parties to each other! Now it's fine, we can finally communicate without any obstacles..."
