Chapter 196 Shaking North Korea, Complaining to Dad?
Jin Daguang, who is twenty years old this year, is an ordinary farmer who occasionally goes to the beach to pick up some seafood.
The climate of Jeju Island is warm and rainy, but typhoons often sweep through, which not only reduces agricultural production, but also destroys houses. Therefore, the island is indeed a poor and desolate place. It is difficult to accumulate wealth, and because it is close to the sea, it is barely possible to survive.
.
In addition, Jin Daguang is also a militiaman. He goes to the Metropolitan Supervisory Court every year to participate in military training. Not only does he take care of food, he also gets a small amount of salary, so among the tens of thousands of islanders on the island, he lives a pretty good life.
, but once encountering war, he has the obligation to be drafted into the army.
Then Xu Jiajun landed on the island.
Jin Daguang was urgently recruited.
It didn't take long for him to become a prisoner.
With a shovel in his hand, he became a construction worker at the port.
While immersed in his work, Jin Daguang had already pessimistically guessed his outcome: working hard until death, being beaten to death, or being killed after finishing his work.
There is definitely no way to escape death.
But in order to avoid being abused, he still worked very hard and dug hard, hoping to see if he could escape through active performance?
In the evening, it's time to eat.
Jin Daguang thought that he might be starving after this meal, after all, they prisoners had only been working for a while.
"You come and eat too, these are prepared for you."
Xu Jiajun's logistics staff asked them to carry three huge stainless steel drums, containing multigrain rice, shredded potatoes, and seafood sauce soup, and called them over to eat.
"We also have food to eat?"
Jin Daguang was startled, and smelled the aroma of the food again. He ran over with a huff, grabbed half a bowl of multi-grain rice, half a spoonful of shredded potatoes, poured it with seafood sauce soup, and took the tachyon and shoveled it into his mouth.
One bite, that taste.
fragrant.
It's simply too fragrant.
He had never eaten such delicious food in his life - it was true. All kinds of supplies on the island were expensive and productivity was backward. It was good to be half full.
Even General Jiang Chengyuan, who was accustomed to fine clothes and fine food, ate such meals with great pleasure, and they tasted very delicious.
After dinner.
He burped with satisfaction and felt eighty percent full. Jin Daguang felt that his stomach, which was always only half full, was eighty percent full for the first time today.
But it's not over yet.
"I see that your work performance is pretty good. I'll give you ten cents. If you continue to work hard tomorrow, you can get more wages."
The construction site supervisor walked up to him and handed ten light coins into his hand.
Jin Daguang took it blankly, and this kind of light money in his hand is also hard currency in North Korea. It is the most popular currency nowadays. There is also a small amount of money in circulation on Jeju Island, and it is regarded as a symbol of status because it can turn light money into money.
Those brought to the island are basically wealthy people from outside, and their purchasing power is guaranteed.
Jin Daguang didn't expect that he could also get such light money.
And it wasn't just him, more than a hundred people who performed well today also received their wages. The other three or four hundred people were extremely upset and secretly decided to work hard starting tomorrow.
power.
Jin Daguang suddenly felt motivated all over, and he worked even harder and more actively the next day, because he had delicious and filling meals, and could earn fifty cents a day! He saw the hope of achieving food, clothing, and prosperity through hard work.
Not only that.
Xu Jiajun does not restrict their personal freedom. Anyone who wants to go home to get things can go home. In addition, if they can attract more workers, they will be rewarded with one hundred coins for each person they recruit, and one silver dollar for ten people. In short, they can
The more labor force you can bring in, the better.
Wow~
Jin Daguang returned to his home that day. Not only did he bring straw mats and quilts, but he also invited ten relatives and friends to work in the port together.
Three thousand people.
Five thousand people.
More than 10,000 local people, with the vigorous recruitment of Xu Jiajun, attracted most of the young people on the island to work in just three or four days, becoming the main force in the construction of the port, greatly accelerating the development of the port.
With the speed of construction, it won't take long to be completed and ready for use.
…
the other side.
As a lobbyist and envoy, Cui Wende went to Wangjing Seoul and his efforts to mediate and negotiate failed.
Perhaps it is because several conditions are too stringent.
Or maybe he was too tough and arrogant in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and he kept threatening, saying how powerful Xujiazhuang was, and North Korea was no match for him. This angered the North Korean monarchs and ministers. Cui Wende was imprisoned and talked about death, and the North Korean monarchs and ministers also
They said that they would not hesitate to fight, they would protect their traditional fishing grounds, they would send troops to retake Jeju Island, and they wanted Xujiazhuang to surrender immediately, and so on.
fo
Faced with such outrageous clamor.
That night.
With the help of several North Korean businessmen as internal agents, Xu Jiajun's 500 marines, led by battalion commander Zhang Fugui, first sneaked into Seoul and rescued Cui Wende, who was imprisoned on death row, and found the scars of Cui Wende's whipping.
He was tired and suffered a lot of torture.
"This is contempt and provocation, a provocation to our Xujiazhuang!"
Zhang Fugui became angry and immediately made a crazy decision: attack Gyeongbokgung Palace to teach the Korean monarchs and ministers a very profound lesson. It would be better if they could capture King Li Jie, which would make it easier to negotiate.
"Okay, let's fuck their palace."
"Catch the king, steal his money, and steal his women! Hit him hard and teach him an unforgettable lesson."
"That's right, I can't do it without being a little cruel!"
"Don't act recklessly!"
Zhang Fugui said: "The primary purpose is to capture Li Zhu. If we can't catch him, capture a few beauties and present them to the owner of the village. We are not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, rob or commit adultery, let alone set fires. We are civilized teachers, not robbers and beasts."
, not to mention that if we have such a small number of people, once we scatter and plunder, we will only be defeated one by one, so we must gather together and act together!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
…
That night, there was a loud bang and the Gwanghwamun Gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace was blown open.
Zhang Fugui and more than 500 people went in and killed him.
At an extremely fast speed, he headed straight for King Li Zhu's palace.
If they encountered resistance, they would shoot and kill them.
It only took less than a moment to rush into the harem and search for traces of King Li Zhu.
But it gets dark at night.
Most of the Marines didn't know King Li Shu, let alone the jabbering Korean.
As a result, after searching for half a night, no sign of Li Zhu was found - he had already put on a woman and escaped.
Helpless, Zhang Fugui had no choice but to order to collect a small amount of high-value property, capture twenty beautiful young beauties in the harem, and then ordered to retreat. On the way, he encountered many obstacles from the army, but after several rounds of breech-loading gun fire,
Or throw a few high-explosive grenades over it, and no matter what is in the way, it will be quickly destroyed, leaving corpses on the ground.
After dawn.
Zhang Fugui and others fought their way out of Seoul and headed south to the coast of Incheon. Finally, they boarded a shipping cargo ship with the injured Cui Wende, a small amount of property seized, and twenty North Korean beauties.
…
Through wireless telegraphy, the Xujiazhuang headquarters learned of the results of the negotiations, the tough attitude of the North Korean monarchs and ministers, and the retaliatory actions taken by Zhang Fugui.
"Not enough, this is far from enough."
"I was wrong, there was something wrong with my previous understanding."
“For a country like the Kingdom of Korea, which has no idea of the heights of the earth and its ruling class is stupid and ignorant, if it takes the initiative to send envoys there for negotiations, wouldn’t it be an act of death?”
"Can a conflict of interests be justified?"
"Even if we are negotiating, we must first beat them up until they wail and lose their temper, and beat them until they take the initiative to send envoys to negotiate peace. Only in this way can we achieve the desired results. If we don't conquer them first, how can it be possible?"
Will you be willing to listen to us?"
"The naval fleet is dispatched to sweep all the ports along the coast of North Korea and sink all its warships! Control its offshore seas. Without our orders, no one can enter the sea. Blockade them for a month or two to see if they give in?"
Xu Yuan reflected and issued the latest instructions.
"Yes, owner!"
This plays right into Xu Huoqing's and others' plans, and completely caters to their warlike genes.
Then they divided the six armored warships into three squadrons. Each squadron had two warships, and each squadron also brought two shipping cargo ships, carrying a battalion of 1,000 marines to coordinate the operations.
The troops were then divided into three groups to sweep the south coast, east coast, and north coast of North Korea respectively.
In the next ten days or so.
Each squadron destroyed the Incheon Navy, Pusan Navy, Anju Navy and Wonsan Navy - in fact, each navy only had thirty or fifty ships, and most of them were small and medium-sized ships.
The three ports of Incheon, Busan, and Anju were blocked.
The Marine Corps also carried out landing operations many times, destroyed many fort facilities, and defeated many North Korean troops.
During the implementation of the blockade, except for those merchants who had friendly cooperative relations with Xujiazhuang, their merchant ships could be released, and other merchant ships either returned to the port or were sunk and dealt with, which greatly affected North Korea's trade activities. The maritime transportation system almost collapsed, and the land transportation system was almost collapsed.
Transportation is inefficient and slow, with huge losses.
Therefore, after only ten days of blockade, the internal economy of the Kingdom of Korea was severely affected and may even face collapse.
Of course, the biggest impact is the strong sense of insecurity. The Xu family army can come in at any time, land at any place, and carry out military retaliation at any time. This is what worries the monarchs, ministers and people of North Korea the most.
even so.
The North Korean monarchs and ministers were still unwilling to compromise and surrender, and were unwilling to cede territory to a merchant force and pay compensation.
Instead, choose another method: complain! Send an envoy to the capital of Ming Dynasty by land and fast horse to cry out and complain, let the emperor of the previous dynasty take charge of Xujiazhuang, let Xujiazhuang stop his tyrannical behavior, withdraw the fleet and army, we cannot let a businessman power,
This lawlessness continues.
…
August 16th.
In the capital city, in the Jinluan Palace, above the morning court.
There was a sound like mourning.
"Your Majesty, I am going to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor! Please save this small country. We are a country that is filial and filial. We offer sacrifices once every three years and there is no defect. How can we be so respectful and refuse to save our country and ignore it?"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor, Xujiazhuang's army raided our palace, kidnapped our concubines, blocked our ports, and killed our soldiers and civilians. Which of these things is not treason, transgression and rudeness, and is not equivalent to what happened to our father's country, the Ming Dynasty? Today
If Xujiazhuang dares to do this to North Korea, the army may come to the capital tomorrow and he will do the same to the Holy Emperor! Xujiazhuang must guard against it and suppress it."
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor, as long as Xujiazhuang can be withdrawn, the blockade lifted, and returned to Jeju, our country is willing to spend all our money to raise more than 100,000 taels for our father's country. We only ask for the mercy of our father's country and save us from the fire and water!"
"Help me, I'm willing to die here, I just want some mercy!" The North Korean envoy kowtowed desperately, which was full of blood, which was shocking.
"If you don't help our country of filial piety, are you going to help an evil businessman?"
"If my father's country ignores it, it will be indulging in profiteers and refusing to save it! Who will be willing to respect the country in the future, and who will continue to be a vassal and pay tribute?"
"Yes, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, all ministers of the higher country, please help us, we must not ignore it!"
"..."
These are representatives of envoys sent by the Kingdom of Korea.
Or begging for mercy and complaining vigorously.
Or wailing and crying, kowtowing desperately.
Or moral kidnapping, looking back on the friendship between father and son.
Or use intimidation and threats to exaggerate the dangers of Xujiazhuang.
In short, all methods and means were used to create astonishing cries and noises, which made the emperor Zhu Youjian on the dragon throne upset, and the ministers and officials who were listening frowned and even wanted to plug their ears and make a noise.
