Jin Yu didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but in a daze he heard a voice sounding near him.
"It was just anger that attacked my heart, which caused me to be mentally weak. After recuperating for so long, I have almost recovered."
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a man wearing a white coat, a white round hat, and a mask covering his mouth and nose sitting in front of the bed. He was turning around and said to Zuo Hua who was standing behind him.
What are you wearing?
The arrogant and domineering Zuo Hua was very polite to this person.
"Thank you, doctor."
Only then did Jin Yu realize that this man in strange clothes was actually a doctor.
It is said that the anti-bandits in Shandong are trying new things and corrupting the legal system, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Facing Zuo Hua's thanks, the doctor just nodded, turned around and went out.
Jin Yu knew that his condition could not be hidden from anyone, so he simply sat up. Looking around, he should still be in the cabin.
"General Zuo, what are you going to do with us?"
"Didn't I say that the commander-in-chief invites you to Shandong as a guest?"
Jin Yu smiled miserably, with a sad expression.
"People whose country is about to be destroyed are like lonely ghosts. Death is not a pity."
Zuo Hua waved his hand, looking down upon people like this who would live or die for nothing.
"It doesn't matter whether you live or die, as long as you don't go back to North Korea, it will be fine."
Jin Yu was stagnant, and the anger in his heart surged again.
I originally wanted to show some integrity, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't care at all.
However, he also heard it from Zuo Hua's words. It turned out that Shandong's intention was to prohibit him from going to Ming Dynasty and not allow him to return to North Korea.
"The safety of North Korea seems to have nothing to do with Shandong, but I don't know why you did this?"
Zuo Hua said matter-of-factly: "North Korea has always been a vassal state of China, and thanks to our blessings, how can we allow barbarians to invade and occupy it?"
Hearing this, Jin Yu sneered.
"North Korea only recognized the Ming Dynasty as its main country, but didn't know when it became a vassal state of Shandong?"
There was an aggressive edge in Zuo Hua's words.
"In the future, I, Shandong, will definitely replace the Ming Dynasty, so your North Korea will be my vassal country sooner or later. I, Shandong, have come to protect North Korea, and you should be grateful."
Jin Yu closed his eyes in pain.
He got it.
It turns out that these Shandong rebels also have ambitions for North Korea.
Originally, under the aggressiveness of Hou Jin, North Korea was already in danger. Now that another force has joined, where will North Korea go? Can the country continue?
Jin Yu had already sensed the crisis.
The boat traveled for another half day, and Zuo Hua came back again.
"Master Jin, let's go, we have arrived in Jinan."
Jin Yu sighed dejectedly.
He was a swordsman and I was a fish and meat. He had no choice but to get up and walk out of the cabin.
The people who followed him as envoys to the Ming Dynasty no longer know where they are. He is all alone, what is his future?
Zuo Hua had no time to take care of his mood. When he was about to land, he saw the busy scene on the Daqing River and couldn't help but be surprised.
"What are you doing?"
Someone answered.
"The Engineering Department has invented a new bridge-building method. If it succeeds, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be able to travel unimpeded in the future. It will be much more convenient."
These words shocked Jin Yu.
He stood on the bow of the boat and carefully looked at the river at his feet. It was hundreds of meters wide. According to his understanding, it was absolutely impossible to build a bridge.
But in the river not far away, strange pillars were erected at regular intervals.
I don’t know what materials these pillars are made of. They look like rocks when you look at them roughly. Facing the impact of the rapid river water, they are still as stable as Mount Tai.
And those pillars are very tall, several feet high.
Some of the pillars have been covered with thick plates of the same material, which look very strong.
If these strange thick plates were connected by pillars, it would really look like a bridge.
Jin Yu was puzzled, wondering how this was done?
In his eyes, this can be called a miracle.
He didn't expect that it would have such a big impact on him as soon as he arrived in Shandong.
Zuo Hua took him ashore and entered the city.
They come, the security.
Jin Yu can be regarded as a veteran of North Korea, so he can let go of life and death.
As he walked, he observed carefully.
What he saw was that the city here was extremely prosperous. All the buildings were brand new and magnificent, and the roads in the city were very wide and flat. At first glance, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the pillars in the river he had seen before.
Like a curious child, Jin Yu deliberately rubbed his feet on the road. The only thing he could feel was that the road was very solid.
He had almost imagined countless horse-drawn carriages running on such a road, without having to worry about bumps and collisions, continuously transporting supplies to the places where the road extended.
This means that a country's strategic deployment can be realized quickly. Is it still worried about not winning the war?
I really don’t know how these Shandong rebels built such a magical road?
Zuo Hua led Jin Yu through the city, getting more and more remote as they walked, and there were gradually more troops around.
Jin Yu understood that he was being taken to the military camp.
This made him a little puzzled.
If you want to imprison him, wouldn't it be enough to find a random courtyard and have someone guard him?
Why let him be brought to the military camp?
He is a weak scholar, so he probably doesn't need an army to imprison him, right?
The military camp was so tight that even Zuo Hua kept showing his ID all the way in. In some places, guards even needed to go in and report before they could let him in.
Jin Yu had never seen such a well-disciplined army, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated for a moment.
Finally, we arrived deep inside the military camp, inside a large house.
When Zuo Hua led him in, he heard someone talking loudly inside.
"North Korea gave up the city on the main transportation road and instead built the city on the mountain. Doesn't this mean it gave up its defense and allowed the Jurchens to come and go at will?"
Suddenly hearing about something related to his country, Jin Yu couldn't help but think about it.
Looking inside, I found many people gathered inside.
These people were all wearing military uniforms like Zuo Hua. They seemed to be surrounding something, and they were talking endlessly.
"Based on North Korea's deployment, it will only take the Jurchens ten days at most to reach the foot of Hanyang City. I have never seen such a stupid formation."
Then there was a burst of laughter, and it was obvious that the object of ridicule was North Korea.
Old Jin Yu had a hot face and couldn't help but say: "Our country's arrangement is to lure the enemy deep and cut off their retreat. Moreover, the city is built on a mountain, and the terrain is difficult. If the Jurchens attack, they will definitely pay a heavy price."
A group of soldiers turned their heads and saw him.
Just by looking at his clothes, I knew he was a Korean.
"Minister Zuo, who is this?"
Zuo Hua led Jin Yu to the front and raised his hands in salute to a tall and dignified young man.
"Commander, Jin Yu has arrived."
Jin Yu was shocked and stared at the young man who seemed to be wearing nothing special. He had no idea that this was Zuo Menggeng, the leader of the Shandong rebels.
