Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Eight Five Years of Longevity, Memories of the Gold Shipwright, Old Stories of the Treasure Ship and Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven!
"Uh, what to plant and what to eat?... Sir?! I live in Gyeongsangnam-do, and my family has been working as a shipbuilder for generations! I have never farmed, and the masters don't let us have land... As for the surrounding villages
Of course, most of them are rice, but there are also millets... As long as there are no typhoons, floods or droughts, the villagers can still survive and eat rice several times a month..."
The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset filled the sky with a golden red that echoed the gray snowfields. Thousands of miles away from home, shipbuilder Kim Sun-soo touched his nose and recalled life in his hometown in North Korea.
The villagers he spoke of were actually the last two classes of ordinary people, Baiding. As for the untouchables who were not considered human beings, they were out of reach. He did not understand it, let alone did not want to understand it. However, the Korean countryside he saw in his eyes, although
The fourth class of people is completely solidified, and the conflicts between the various classes are extremely sharp, but there is not so much famine, and it is far from the hellish poverty in the countryside of Heguo!
"Ah? Buddha witnessed! The villagers in North Korea can actually eat rice every month?!"
Hearing this, Murakami Yomichi and Sukeichiro, who were born in the Ezo region, looked at each other in disbelief. Seeing the two people's excited reactions, the shipwright Jin Zenshu shrank his neck in fear, nodded and confirmed in a low voice,
"Yes, sir! There are many mountains in the north, and there may be less rice cultivation. I don't know the details... But all over Gyeongsang Province, outside the villages I saw with my own eyes, there are usually canals to irrigate the fields! Of course!
, Millet is also grown in the village, but the area planted with rice is much larger... The villagers are busy working in the paddy fields, because the masters let us cultivate the paddy fields!..."
"Oh! It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable! The hometown of the gold boat builder is so rich!..."
"Isn't that right! Ordinary villagers can eat rice several times a month! Then how prosperous their Wu family must be!"
At the end of the 15th century, Lee's Joseon was in a period of great prosperity, with a population of about 8 million. Of course, economic prosperity and reactionary rule are not inconsistent. Among the 8 million people in the Lee Dynasty, half were four
Those who are waiting, the remaining half are inhuman pariahs and hermits, that is, actual slaves! This proportion of slaves, which is close to half, even exceeds that of the Kingdom of the Lake in the classical military system...
As the most favored and loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family of Korea has obtained almost all the farming and handicraft technologies of the Ming Dynasty. In the scientific and technological level of the entire Asia, Korea is second only to the Ming Dynasty, far surpassing the He Kingdom of this era.
.Whether it is Korean white porcelain, Korean silk, mining, iron and steel smelting, crop rotation, construction and canal construction, or even the shipbuilding technology packaged and obtained from the Ming Dynasty, they are all the envy of the Republic of China, and they cannot ask for them.
Coming!
Historically, the ash-blowing method for silver mining was invented by the Celestial Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty and introduced to North Korea in the Song Dynasty. However, it had to wait until 1530 for the ash-blowing method to be introduced to Heguo, and it was introduced from North Korea. As for the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding technology,
It imposed a strict blockade on the Republic of Korea, but opened up to North Korea, and even allowed the North Korean royal family to obtain wide ships and small ships. For example, Gyeongsangnam-do's construction technology of ocean-going ships was superior to the Han Dynasty's customs ships for at least an era.
I also learned it from the Ming Dynasty...
"Haha! Murakami-kun, Sukeichiro, you have never been to Korea, so you don't know... there are no samurai families in Korea, and there are no decent samurai! They have military households, which are families that have been in the military for generations..."
"Eh?! Lord Watanabe, a family that has been in the military for generations? Isn't that the Samurai family?"
"Ha! How can the military households of Korea compare with the samurai families of our country? The samurai families of our country can decide everything in the territory! The military households of Korea are poor farmers who carry the spearhead, and are similar to the ashigaru in the countryside.
Even worse than…”
"Ah! Can a military household like this also fight? Then the guards all over North Korea are not afraid of being attacked by other guards? I heard that North Korea is still close to the evil Yuan Kou!..."
"Well...North Korea doesn't have guardians from various countries, there is only one king of the Li Dynasty. As for the evil Yuan Kou..."
Watanabe Masumi, a monk soldier, touched his bald head and looked at the shipwright Jin Shanshu.
"Jin Shipyard, what will happen if the evil Yuan invaders invade Korea?"
"Ah? The terrible man-eating Yuan invaders invaded? What should I do?...How can a young shipwright know about the affairs of the gentlemen? However, I do remember an unforgettable old incident..."
"Huh? What old thing?..."
"More than twenty years ago, the Ming Dynasty's Great Fengzhou came across the sea twice to consecrate King Sohyo (Ruijong) and King Gonghyo (Seongjong). It also docked at the port of Gyeongsang Province and asked the shipwrights to help
With simple repairs... Oops! That Fengzhou is a real big ship, as big as twenty ocean boats, with an estimated four to five thousand materials. It is like an island floating on the sea! It is said that this kind of boat is called a 'big fortune ship', and
It’s called a ‘treasure ship’!…It’s really an eye-opening ship, a huge ship!…”
"What? Twenty Ming Dynasty treasure ships as big as ocean-covering ships? Buddha bless you! Are there really such big ships?!"
"Yes! Yes! Guanyin in white testifies!... I saw that ship with my own eyes, and I will never forget it in my life!..."
Shipwright Jin Shanshu talked about old things and recalled the treasure ship he saw twenty years ago, with unforgettable and longing expression on his face. As a shipwright, he knows what a good ship is and how difficult it is to build a good ship.
, how difficult is it to build a huge good ship! And the treasure ship he saw when he was young was almost the pinnacle of the ship he imagined, and it repeatedly haunted his dreams. And the awe of the Ming Dynasty was also accompanied by that
This treasure ship that covers the sky and the sun is deeply imprinted in his memory!
However, he did not know that the canonization of the King of Korea more than twenty years ago was the last glory of Zheng He's treasure ship. During the Chenghua period more than ten years ago, in order to prevent Ming Xianzong from returning to Nanyang, he also wanted to
To prevent the resumption of official Nanyang trade, civil servants from the central and southeastern provinces of North Korea rarely joined forces.

Liu Daxia, a charioteer in the Ministry of War, burned the files of Zheng He's voyages to the West, destroyed the treasure ship atlas, and some said he hid them, but in any case, he erased all the records. And the subordinate
According to the Ministry of War, the Nanjing Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, which built treasure ships, was also ordered to be abandoned by Xiang Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War at the time. Thousands of shipwrights of various types were immediately dispersed. At this time, only those belonging to the Ministry of Works were left outside Nanjing.
Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard is only responsible for building ordinary ships under 400 materials...
"The treasure ship...the great fortune ship!...is forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide, has five thousand materials, can carry a thousand people, and has nine masts at the front and rear...it is a nine-masted ship! And such a huge ship is actually one
An hour can travel thirty miles!…The treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty is truly the best ship that has ever been seen!…”
Shipwright Jin Shanshu raised his head, puffed out his chest, and talked excitedly about the treasure ship for a while. Then, he looked at the shocked, doubtful and unbelievable expressions of the three people around him, and couldn't help but slowly lowered his head, hunched over and whispered.
answer.
"Oh! When we were maintaining the treasure ship, the masters of the two squads said, 'We must serve the Ming Dynasty's envoy well! No matter what the envoy orders, we must do it at any cost!'... When he said this
, the two groups of great men who have always been high in the sky, have never been more cautious and cautious than before, even more so than when talking about King Zhaoxiao..."
"The gentlemen also said that as long as the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are satisfied, no matter what they like, even the daughters of middle-class gentlemen, they will be sent there!...'The Ming Dynasty is the heaven and the king of Korea! As long as it is the heaven and the king of Korea!
To satisfy the Great Ming Dynasty, even if the sky of North Korea falls, the Great Kingdom will hold it up! Even if the Yuan invaders invade again, there will still be the heavenly soldiers of the Great Kingdom to help us fight back!'..."
"So, Guanyin in White testifies! Mr. Watanabe, you asked before what to do if the Yuan invaders invaded? Well, I think, maybe, probably, what you said is right... The heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have such big ships,
You will definitely help us fight back Yuan Kou!..."
