Jingzhao Shipbuilding School is a school jointly founded by three businessmen, Zheng, Yu, and Wang. It specializes in building and repairing ships. Currently, the shipbuilding industry is the most popular industry in the Yong Dynasty. An ordinary shipwright's monthly income can reach ten thousand yuan.
The monthly income of a master craftsman who can build sea-going ships can even reach thirty guan.
Therefore, the shipbuilding school was established, and the number of students who signed up was overwhelming. Tens of thousands of people signed up, but in the end only 3,000 people were admitted.
The school is still under construction outside Xicheng City, and classes at the temporary school have begun, mainly for theoretical content.
That afternoon, students came out of school one after another, and a thin boy came out of school.
A carriage stopped in front of him, and someone called him, "The Yellow River is flat!"
The young man looked at the other person and saw that he was an unknown man with a friendly smile.
"You're looking for me?"
The man nodded, "Your father is very busy. There is something important at Shaofu Temple. He asked me to pick you up!"
The young man shook his head, "No need, I will go back by myself!"
"Come up quickly! Today we are going to a friend's house for dinner. You don't know the place. Your father asked me to pick you up."
The young man hesitated for a moment and stepped onto the carriage. The door slammed shut and the carriage sped away. The young man felt something was wrong and struggled desperately. A dagger was pressed against his throat. The man just now said viciously: "If you move again, I'll cut your throat!"
"Who are you?" the young man yelled angrily.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what's important is that you cooperate, otherwise we can only kill you and your parents together!"
The other party threatened his parents, so the boy had to stop struggling.
"That's right, we will let you go home soon!"
The man tied the boy's hands behind his back, covered his head with a black bag, and the carriage accelerated towards Xianyang.
.........
Huang Qing, who lives in No. 79 of Sifang City, is a master smelter of Shaofu Temple. He is considered to be the best smelter of the Yong Dynasty. He smelted the fine iron used by the heavy armored infantry of the Yong Army.
Made from.
At night, Huang Qing's family was all anxious. His second son Huang Heping went to learn shipbuilding, but he had not returned home yet, which really worried Huang Qing.
His son has always been honest and well-behaved. He never stays out overnight or hangs out with any bad friends. He always comes home on time. But what happened tonight?
"The child's father is looking for him!"
Huang Qing was upset. What were the guests doing at this time?
He walked quickly to the yard and saw two strange men carrying a large box.
"Who are you?"
The man smiled and said: "My name is Pei Qiushan, and I am a teacher at the shipbuilding school. Your son is at my house now!"
Huang Qing was stunned, "My son is at your house?"
Pei Qiushan nodded, "Let's talk!"
"Where is my son? Why doesn't he come home?"
Pei Qiushan said calmly: "Let's talk about it!"
Huang Qing suddenly realized something and nodded, "Please come in!"
Pei Qiushan and his men walked into the living room. Huang Qing ordered his wife to come: "Close the courtyard door and don't disturb me!"
His wife didn't know what happened and hurriedly went to close the door.
Huang Qing came to the living room and asked the two of them to sit down. He said straight to the point: "Who are you? Where is my son?"
As a first-level master craftsman, Huang Qing had received special anti-leak training from internal security guards. He immediately realized that these two men had bad intentions and that they had most likely kidnapped his son.
Pei Qiushan took out a piece of jade Ruyi wrapped with a red rope and placed it on the table. Huang Qing recognized it at a glance and said angrily: "You really kidnapped my son!"
"Mr. Huang, please don't get excited. Your son is very good. We didn't hurt him, we just restricted his freedom."
Pei Qiushan tried his best to appease Huang Qing. He put the big box on the table and opened it. In an instant, it was filled with gold.
"What do you want?" Huang Qing clenched his fists. He only cared about his son's safety now, and he no longer cared about gold.
"It's very simple. We want to learn Mr. Huang's smelting and forging skills, and we want to hire Mr. Huang to go to Korea to be the chief craftsman and supervisor."
"So you are Koreans!"
“It doesn’t matter where we are from, what matters is our sincerity!”
"Sincerity?"
Huang Qing snorted heavily, "Kidnapping my son, is this what you call sincerity?"
"We are not kidnapping, we just want you to be reunited together!"
Huang Qing shook his head, "Hurry up and put my son back. Everything will be easy. If you can't see my son tonight, you can't leave Sifang City."
Pei Qiushan saw that gold and threats were of no use to Huang Qing, so he could only adopt the second plan. He winked at his men, moved as fast as lightning, and struck Huang Qing's neck with his palm. Huang Qing immediately fell limp.
On the ground, he fainted.
The men followed the same pattern and knocked out Huang Qing's wife. They worked together and carried Huang Qing and his wife into the carriage outside the door.
The carriage started immediately and quickly left Sifang City.
........
This time, the inner guards kept an eye on them.
At night, the carriage was not moving fast, so two old men on donkeys followed the carriage all the way to Jingzhao City.
The carriage drove into a farmyard outside the west city gate.
The inner guard did not immediately take action to rescue him. Zhong Huan guessed that there were other craftsmen in the enemy's hands. They would probably gather the craftsmen together and send them to Goryeo together.
This is also a lesson that the internal guards have learned from the past. The Korean people work in two groups, one group is responsible for collecting resources, and the other group is responsible for transferring resources, that is, sending them to Korea.
Last time, the internal guards acted too early and arrested a group of people who were collecting resources. As a result, another group of Koreans who were transferring resources calmly sent Iron Fire Thunder to Korea.
This time, the internal guards wanted to catch both groups of Koreans in one fell swoop.
Pei Qiushan gave Huang Qing's family three oral medications, and they all fell into a drowsy sleep.
At the first watch, the carriage once again left the compound outside Xicheng and headed towards the Weihe River...
At this time, Zhong Huan was waiting for news in an internal guard branch near the West City Gate.
He could not send more men, but instead sent three men with the strongest tracking ability to keep an eye on the opponent. At the same time, he deployed tracking ships at the Weihe River and Guangyuntan Pier.
According to the last interrogation record, they learned that the other party had set up a transfer point in Gong County, Kaifeng Prefecture, but they did not know where exactly it was in Gong County.
Zhong Huan judged that this time they would still send Huang Qing's family of three to Gong County to rendezvous, and then transfer from Gong County to Shandong Road to go to the sea and go to Korea.
At this time, a soldier came to report.
"General Qi, the other party has left the compound and the carriage is heading towards the Weihe River!"
Zhong Huan nodded, "Have you followed me yet?"
"Two people have already followed, leaving one person to continue to keep an eye on the compound!"
This is very necessary to prevent the other party from making a false shot and making a false move.
"I understand, continue to keep an eye on the other party's compound!"
After his men left, Zhong Huan continued to wait patiently for the other party's next move.
...........
The carriage arrived at the Weihe Wharf and stopped in front of a three thousand stone ship. This was the only three thousand stone ship on the entire wharf, and the others were all cargo ships of about a thousand stone.
Several warriors lifted three large wooden boxes from the carriage and carried them onto the ship.
Xu Cheng, the leader of the inner guard, stared at the ship from a distance. He said to his two men: "Go to the dock registration office to check this ship!"
The two men rushed away, and after a while they came back and reported in a low voice: "This is a civilian cargo ship. The owner's surname is Liu. It travels between Sanmenxia and Jingzhao all year round. It just arrived in Jingzhao this afternoon.
, was hired for three months."
At this time, a boatman jumped out of the boat and ran into the grass holding his stomach.
This was an opportunity, but Xu Cheng hesitated for a moment. Could this be the opponent's samurai dressed as a boatman?
However, based on the boatman's jumping off the boat and running posture, Xu Cheng concluded that the boatman had no martial arts skills and was probably just an ordinary boatman, not a modified samurai of the other party.
Xu Cheng had a bold idea in his mind and rushed over in a flash.
