Chapter 272 The Elder

As long as he was told, Ma Cheng was already very satisfied, so he took the initiative to toast Li Dan and gave hundreds of jars of Shandong Qingjiu he carried with him, which was the favorite of the East China Sea pirates.

"Thank you for your reward!"

"Majesty!"

A group of pirates started to shout in chaos, and Ma Cheng said with a sigh: "The court is the court, and I am a certain person. This wine is the intention of my brother Qi."

A group of pirates have many thoughts. From these words, they can always give a few implications.

Li Dan was even more thoughtful, and looked at Ma Cheng and then at Qi Jin. When he thought of Qi Jin's identity and territory, he probably knew it.

Before leaving, Li Dan bowed and said in a deep voice: "I should know what to do, and I will definitely live up to the good wishes of the two general town masters!"

Ma Cheng sent him to the boat and said quietly: "Denglai's people are limited in strength, so the matter of supplies in Dongjiang Town's Dongjiang Town will rely on Duke Li."

Li Dan looked at Ma Cheng's face carefully and said seriously: "I dare not act, I should do my best."

He bowed to Qi Jin again and floated away. This was also a mature sea hero. He decided to provide supplies to Dongjiang Town in a few words. Ma Cheng was not afraid that he would not agree, so he let the call go first

Not to mention it, do business first, and cultivate mutual trust between both parties through doing business. Japan produces a lot of gold, silver, iron ore, and is also fond of luxury goods produced in the Ming Dynasty. This is a profitable business.

The large and small islands in Dongjiang Town are stuck at the Bohai Sea estuary, facing North Korea and Japan across the sea. It would be a pity not to use this geographical advantage. Dongjiang Town is now completely back to the support of Denglai. The people's strength in Denglai will be exhausted sooner or later, if possible

If you open up a commercial road to achieve self-sufficiency, you will soon develop into a military rush. Macheng's idea is to operate Dongjiang Town into the base camp and home port of the future Ming Dynasty Donghai Navy, and it is also the main maritime stronghold for counterattacking Liaodong.

A few days later, a boat arrived at the ocean island. More than ten sea boats made a turn in the outer sea and finally docked at the ocean island controlled by Dongjiang Town. The island is located in a beautiful location and is located in Gaizhou, where the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Han Army were stationed.

Only more than a hundred miles, but it was separated by the sea into a paradise. A group of pirates received Li Dan's warrant and brought a large amount of gold and silver to the island. They bought all the useless silk and antiques in Dongjiang Town, and unloaded them with the ship.

Large batches of rice.

Both sides tacitly bought and sold all the dirty things, but no one was too stupid to mention that the silk and antiques in Dongjiang Town were obtained from the previous robbers of Liaoyang and Haicheng, and the food on the pirates' ships were mostly robbed.

The income from the Jiangnan fleet was transported by the way and piled it on the island at an extremely low price. Some of the best Jiangnan rice were still covered with blood. Ma Cheng and Qi Jin turned a blind eye to this. Those who accomplished great things were not careful and said that

This is the reason.

Just like the Netherlands, the country of pirates, and the rise of Spain, the Ming Dynasty's ZTE was destined to be a bloody road covered with the blood of innocent people. Dongjiang Town did a business without capital, and the dilemma of lack of food and money was immediately alleviated. From Japan, it was

The gold and silver mined are of great quality, so there is no need to worry about having no place to spend it. While Qi Jin arranged his subordinates to bring gold and silver, he organized a fleet to go to Tianjin to buy grain, and he was salivating against the wealth of Japan.

The town of Qi was left behind and there was no one behind, so he couldn't help but feel a little dark-hearted: "This little place in Japan is full of gold and silver. How unfair is God."

A group of Zhejiang soldiers also gritted their teeth: "Not only gold and silver, but also Japanese iron materials are better than our Ming Dynasty. Craftsmen said that Japanese iron materials can produce good swords and arrows with a little refining."

A group of Zhejiang soldiers, Kaiyuan soldiers and generals were unethical after drinking, gathered together to express the prosperity of Japan. God is unfair, and Ma Cheng is naturally happy to see it. This is the germination of genuine colonialism, and it can only appear in the front line for a long time.

The generals on the battlefield will gradually take root and sprout. The generals speak louder and louder, and then scold the kindness of the scholar-oriented women, and even complain about the national policy of the great ancestors' country that they did not seek. Then they were scolded by Ma Cheng and suppressed them.

I knew that this colonialist idea had already taken root in the hearts of the subordinates and generals, and I also had to count Mao Wenlong, who was drooling in North Korea for three thousand miles of land and noble women. Mao Wenlong's thoughts were more radical than these generals.

Ma Cheng would not feel ashamed, but was very proud. Colonialism was the only way out for the Ming Dynasty to the Shang Kingdom. This was proven by history in later generations. If you do not enslave foreign races, you will be enslaved by foreign races. This Shang Kingdom

One or two hundred years later, the dusty gate will be blown open by foreign races with cannon warships. Ma Cheng asked himself that he was not a well-educated man or a sociologist. He could not think of any other way out except following the old path of Western colonialism.

I don't want to worry about it.

Half a month later, 20,000 real slaves and 30,000 Han troops gathered in Liaodong with a small number of Mongolian troops. After crossing the Yalu River, they rushed into Korea and began their second plundering journey against the Li Dynasty. At this time, the weather was getting colder, and North Korea

The territory was already full of chaos, and Li Chao was trembling under the iron hooves of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Early in the morning, Zhenjiang is near the sea.

Ma Cheng and Qi Jin stood on the tall ship, watching the Jianlu team waiting inside and outside Zhenjiang, speechless for a moment. The Jiannu rear team stationed on the front line from Zhenjiang to Yizhou was sufficiently strong. The main force of the two flags of Zhenglan and Inlaid Blue were exhausted.

It was extremely inconvenient to go out and set up defenses along the river, even inquiring about information. A little closer to the shore, the cannons were fired together. The artillery array composed of more than 20 general artillery fired like an iron barrel guarded by Zhenjiang. The two of them wisely gave up.

The idea of ​​sending troops to harass the enemy was extremely powerful at this time. The army was in full swing, and it was too stupid to advance rashly.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Jianlu who were busy like ants, the eight banners of the Han army, and the real slave cavalry, the two were secretly shocked. Fortunately, there was a Shanhaiguan blocking the Jianlu army's front, otherwise more than 200,000 troops would come out in full swing.

The Ming Dynasty had almost no power to fight back. Fortunately, Jiannu was not in production and had no choice but to plunder the Li Dynasty to survive this long winter. In October, snowflakes were already falling in Liaodong, and this year was another cold winter.

Macheng became more and more irritable in the face of the severe cold of the Little Ice Age. The sky did not follow the wishes, and it would be even more difficult to endure next spring and summer. Tens of thousands of Jiannu rolled into the court, and in just over ten days, the vanguard cavalry had penetrated into the hinterland of the Li Dynasty, burning, killing, looting and robbing.

The people plundered and killed the Li Dynasty people miserable. Every day, a large number of Korean women were taken back to Jianzhou as private property, and another plundering feast of Beilebezi. The generals of Dongjiang Town have long been used to the style of Jianlu

, don’t care, taking people as slaves is the foundation of Jurchen people’s strength.

Slaves can be used as animals, and the Later Jin regime was built on the flesh and blood of slaves.

After discussing with Ma Cheng and Qi Jin, they tentatively sent small groups of people to the shore at night to get some advantage, but were waiting for the Eight Banners of the Han Army, who were already prepared, and more than half of the three hundred people were lost and fled back to the sea in a hurry.

The two of them died of taking advantage. Jiannu was not a fool, and Da Beile Daishan, who led the troops into the court, was even more angry. After this old man was angry, he looked like an old wolf king, grinning everywhere.
