During the Ming Dynasty, more and more people went abroad. Zhang Dong worked as an apprentice in Jiangzhou. However, as an apprentice, he often went to the riverside docks and became familiar with the sailors.
He often listened to the stories told by these people. Although he was in the mainland, he knew the situation overseas very well. He even yearned for it. In his young heart, the vast sea, fighting the wind and waves, exploring and pioneering, that was what a man should do.
romantic.
There are many young people who have this kind of idea. Zhu Ying organized a global voyage and Xia Zhifeng announced the theory of a round earth. These things have had a profound impact. More and more young people want to go out and have a look... After all, even the Ming Dynasty
The second time of equalizing the land was carried out, but this time there was really too little to share.
There is nothing that can be done about this. The population of the Ming Dynasty has expanded. A pair of parents will have at least three or five children. You can imagine how difficult it is to divide the land in this round.
Some people who were originally allocated more land had fewer children this time. They wanted to spit out the land they had received. They tried every means to resist... In some places, people were even killed.
Zhu Biao supervises the country, and Sun Yan presides over the Zhongshu Province. They are completely exhausted, and there is no need to say more.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng are also keeping an eye on these things. The intensity of doing things cannot be reduced, and they need to be implemented no matter what.
But they all know that just equalizing land is no longer enough.
Potatoes don't have to be selective about the land. Land that could not be used to grow food can be used. There is no doubt that it is a matter of great merit.
In addition, more and more young people choose to explore overseas and want to find a way out.
Zhang Dong is one of them, but his father Zhang Ziming refused to let him go, and he was risking his life.
Zhang Ziming thought that he risked his life, conquered Anqing, got dozens of acres of land as a reward, and occupied the best position. If you don't live up to expectations, then just marry a wife and have children, and then let the grandson continue to go to school. No matter what,
, we must also guard this inheritance. Sooner or later, there will be children who can study, and when the time comes, they will become officials in the court and honor their ancestors.
If you want to go out, you will fail my hard work and I will risk my life for you!
In fact, from a certain point of view, Zhang Ziming's idea is really not wrong. Going to sea is extremely risky, and the location of the fields at home cannot be bought by others for tens of thousands of dollars. Why give up?
This is a crime against future generations!
Zhang Dong tried to negotiate several times, but Zhang Ziming didn't listen at all. He picked up his belt and chased and beat him.
Zhang Dong didn't dare to hope for anything, but his thoughts in his heart had not changed at all, and they were getting stronger and stronger. Not long ago, he met several young people who wanted to go to sea together.
Zhang Dong couldn't hold himself back, so he lied to his father, saying that he was going to Peking to transport goods, and then followed a few young people to go to sea.
Just when he reached the sea, Zhang Dong felt that life was dangerous.
The goods they brought out were deceived, and their investment of thousands of dollars was in vain. Then when they wanted to return to Daming, they encountered a typhoon and almost lost their lives.
Zhang Dong finally knew what it meant to not listen to the old man's advice and suffer the consequences before his eyes.
They drifted for five or six days, with no food or water on the boat, and almost lifeless... Fortunately, they met a passing boat. These people were trafficking livestock from Jeju Island, and they rescued Zhang Dong and several others.
"You are lucky. We are His Majesty's fellow villagers, heroes from Huaixi... If we met you from other places, I would probably sell you to Luzon to grow sugar cane."
Zhang Dong thanked him, but he kept calm enough... Why should you Huaixi guys be good people if others are not good? When we reach the sea, it's so vast and vast that it's hard to say anything to anyone.
Zhang Dong winked at several of his companions, and they all knelt down together, thanked him for saving his life, and promised with a pat on his chest that he was willing to work for them. He also said that no matter what, he had to make a name for himself in order to be able to explain to his family.
Zhang Dong also said in a very vague way that his father was born in the military.
Just this sentence saved them. Otherwise, these people would really go to Luzon to plant sugar cane.
They were taken to Jeju Island and helped to manage the pastures on the island. From morning to night, they did not have a moment's rest, and the food they ate was not much better than that of animals. It was all wheat bran and the like.
This time Zhang Dong really realized that the sea is not only vast, but also cruel and cannot tolerate any innocence.
At this time, merchants, pirates, fishermen, and the navy were often equated.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty Navy will be better after reorganization, but the other three are really just the same people. If they can take advantage of others, they will never let them go.
There is no way that you will be lenient just because you are from the Ming Dynasty.
You should even be cruel to your own people.
What should I do if I don't kill you and snatch benefits from me?
The barbarians can still enslave, but the Ming people have no concealed hatred!
The other party said that to Zhang Dong and others because they wanted to test the identity of Zhang Dong and others. Zhang Dong's answer was also inaccurate. They expressed their willingness to work honestly, which dispelled the other party's intention of killing people.
He also vaguely revealed his identity, hinting that he might be involved in the Ming army, which made these people from Fengyang jealous. After all, Fengyang was the biggest group of men in the army.
It would not be fun if a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.
Zhang Dong and the others worked on the ranch for more than a month, and finally took advantage of an opportunity to transport fodder and escaped to the mainland of Goryeo.
After landing on land and having a vast space, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there are many people and the land is large, and there will be laws. No matter good or bad, people will not kill people casually.
On the sea, including the small island of Jeju, if you kill someone randomly and throw the body away, there is really no luck at all.
Zhang Dong had a narrow escape from death this time, and his mind and vision had been greatly enhanced.
He understood better why his father didn't let him take risks.
Who knows how Zhang Ziming captured Anqing back then!
When he arrived in Goryeo, Zhang Dong first worked hard at the dock, carrying grain, fodder, wood or minerals, washing clothes, and everything else. With the little money he earned every day, he could barely make ends meet, and sometimes he even went hungry.
But he also gradually discovered the opportunity. At this time, Goryeo was in an extremely bad state. Heroes from all walks of life were salivating. If it weren't for Li Shanchang's pressure, something would have happened a long time ago.
In other words, all of this was done intentionally by Li Shanchang.
This brings us to the identity of Lao Li. He was the Duke of Korea and was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Korea.
The task is to use troops against Japanese pirates and coordinate the troops of Ming Dynasty and Goryeo.
Although in the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew that Lao Zhu awarded Goryeo to Li Shanchang.
But the problem is that this cannot be said clearly. Otherwise, the King of Goryeo will be deposed and Ri Shanjang will be appointed as the King of Han. If anyone is not convinced, troops will be sent to attack and help quell the rebellion, just like the Tang Dynasty assisted the unification of Silla.
Same as Goryeo.
Such a huge effort and countless expenses are definitely not what Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang are willing to do.
Therefore, it was necessary for Li Shanchang to give full play to his subjective initiative, constantly deploy troops and generals, and recruit ordinary people under the pretext of dealing with Japanese pirates.
At the same time, it is also necessary to settle the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, allow them to purchase land, and recruit the people of the Ming Dynasty to settle the land.
All in all, it is to weaken the power of Goryeo and develop the power of Ming Dynasty, and finally it will be a matter of course.
Picking fruits smoothly.
Some time ago, he extorted 200,000 laborers. Although this was a drain on Li Shanchang, it also helped him remove the final obstacle. In addition, he could recruit some Nanyang natives to meet the needs of the Han people's farm estates.
In fact, it's a win-win situation... Ming Dynasty wins once, Li Shanchang wins once, and as for Goryeo, who cares about them!
It is conceivable that if there had not been this conferment of honors, Li Shanchang would have already started to depose the King of Goryeo and have the final say himself.
Who would have expected that I would meet someone eating uncooked rice at this time.
Zhang Dong listened to the merchants talk about how much of a bastard the King of Korea was, and how the country was no longer a country... Among other things, the palace of Korea was demolished, and the raw materials were used to build the Peking Normal School.
Instead of being angry, the King of Goryeo continued to exploit the people, requisitioned food and building materials from the people, and threatened to build a new palace... He just struggled for several years, not to mention building the palace, and he didn't even draw a map.
In addition to directly squeezing the people, the King of Goryeo also sold his officials to win titles... Lao Li went to the Ming Dynasty to sell his officials. It was really not his original creation, it could only be regarded as carried forward.
In such a country, there is luxury at the top and corruption at the bottom, constant wars, and the people are in dire straits... If the country is not destroyed, we can only blame the people for being too honest.
In fact, this seems to be the case. After all, the people of these small countries have extraordinary tolerance for suffering, but on the contrary, they have a huge resistance to taking up arms.
Even if someone resists, the outcome will not be much better.
So it’s up to us to take action!
As for whether it will offend Xianggong Li?
Can the court agree?
I really think too much.
We first captured the Goryeo Palace and captured the King of Goryeo.
Even if someone accuses us, we can just negotiate and give us some benefits. This is called rare goods and a lot of profit!
Zhang Dong really inherited his father's talent, and he was quite experienced in deception. He successfully convinced several loss-making maritime merchants that he was the son of a lieutenant general of the Ming Dynasty. He had unfathomable connections and came out with experience. He followed
If I do it, I won’t lose money if I lose, and I will make money if I win.
After some preparation, they finally gathered seventy or eighty people.
Before the action, everyone was given a bowl of wine.
Zhang Dong heard his father tell him more than once how he captured Anqing. They didn't have any wine at that time. There is no doubt that now there is another guarantee.
There is no reason to fail.
"kill!"
This group of people went straight to the Goryeo Palace. The current Goryeo Palace is just the original Privy Council, and thanks to Li Shanchang and Lan Yu, there are not many yamen left in Goryeo.
Zhang Dong and others shouted and rushed to the palace gate. Seeing this, the guards fled one after another. They entered the palace gate with almost no effort.
Everyone rushed to the palace, and the king, princess, and prince of Goryeo, almost without exception, were all captured by them.
The whole process went extremely smoothly, with no conflicts. No one on Zhang Dong's side died, and only one suffered a sprained foot, which was considered a battle loss.
Oh my God!
It really worked!
Zhang Dong was confused, how could it be so easy?
His father felt the same way back then, right?
"We made it!"
In an instant, everyone cheered together... But then there was a bit of trouble. They were really inexperienced, how should they deal with a country?
