Not long after, Mu Zaohua and Qiding from Zhenglan Banner each came back with a lot of figurines and loaded them on their wheelbarrows.
Yue Tuo understood that it was a transaction first, and it was almost a set-up.
Mu Zaohua went back to deal with the Koreans again, and it took a full stick of incense.
During this period, two boys from the North Korean businessmen left for a while and then appeared again.
Finally, Mu Zaohua exchanged something with the North Koreans, and the conversation ended.
Returning to the felt tent by the Yalu River, Mu Zaohua said: "The Gyeongju people in the south of Korea do have ships with the Japanese smugglers, and they can transport copper, but coming overland is time-consuming, and there is a high probability that they will encounter Mao Wenlong."
The soldiers conducted an interrogation. Therefore, we are only willing to transport it to the southeast coast of Huining and let us transport it ourselves."
Although Yue Tuo was blind to most areas of Korea, he was very familiar with the place "Huining".
That place is at the northernmost tip of Korea, close to the Tumen River where the Jurchens in Jianzhou flourished.
The Ministry of Construction continued to grow, and in order to more conveniently plunder the Ming Dynasty in the west, it placed its base in Hetuala near Sarhu.
Yue Tuo picked up a small branch and scratched a few lines on the damp muddy ground by the river, thinking deeply.
At the same time, Mu Zaohua's mind was also running at high speed, planning the words to invite you into the urn based on the reaction of the prey in front of her.
If the oath made to Mrs. Zheng in front of Mr. Wu's tomb two years ago was the beginning of the war, and the bitter plot with Mrs. Zheng on the Mongolian grassland a year and a half ago was the victory in the first battle, then as we go deeper into Jianzhou Wolf
The group worked step by step to avenge Mr. Wu personally and express their fierce love. It no longer became the only emotion that entangled Mu Zaohua. A strategic consciousness that was higher than tactics gradually occupied her mind.
She began to understand the importance of dancing with wolves and laying traps that Mrs. Zheng said, and even began to understand Mrs. Zheng's idea of dividing the Tatar military power that Xu San tried to convey to her.
The sense of accomplishment as a key figure and the sense of mission to implement the idea made Mu Zaohua, who had experienced hunger and humiliation, feel more excited than ever before.
It was as if the moth in the dust had finally turned into an eagle, echoing from a distance with its equally alert and decisive companions, overlooking the rats in the wilderness, and influencing their fate.
"Yue Beile, the price the North Koreans are asking is not outrageous. After all, if they transport ordinary goods, the Japanese ships can just sail to the vicinity of Gyeongju. But now, they have to take a long sea route to the north."
Mu Zaohua looked at Yue Tuo inquiringly.
"It's not too expensive." Yue Tuo simply said four words.
Mu Zaohua stared at the ground, suddenly pretending to have realized something, her eyes bright: "Baylor, why don't we simply occupy Huining and open a port there? Just like Dengzhou and Songjiang in the Ming Dynasty, not only
It can pick up Japanese copper ships, and it can also pick up Japanese grain ships and cloth ships."
The leader of Yue Tuo's personal entourage said disdainfully: "The Koreans have so much food, why don't Han and Beile take us to rob it, and why not buy it from Japan?"
This person turned out to be Bagala. From his youth to his prime, his jungle mentality of robbing the weak has long been ingrained. This time when he saw the dignified flag owner with a red flag in his house talking to a Han female concubine of the Zhenglan flag owner, no one actually spoke to him.
The slave's sense of coercion inevitably aroused subtle jealousy in his heart, and he finally blurted out his sarcasm.
Mu Zaohua responded calmly: "This time we came and saw with our own eyes that the King of Korea wished that the Ming people would help them to stop our sweat, so from Pidao to Yizhou, there were Ming troops under Mao Wenlong. We
How to grab food? Besides, I want to think further. Didn't the Japanese want to occupy Korea in the past? We can join forces with them in the future. Therefore, using our fur products and mountain treasures to exchange copper with them for food is just a good relationship.
The first step.”
Baya is just a warrior, wielding a mace, and he is invincible. When it comes to things that require brains such as "defeat his plans", how can he take it? If he is not convinced, he is wrapped up by a Nikan woman.
The master lost face in front of him, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Yue Tuo made a dull "Huh" sound, threw away the branch and stood up. He stopped continuing the topic and asked Mu Zaohua: "How can you tell if it is a copper ingot from the Japanese country?"
"The copper in the Japanese country is red copper. The man named Zheng not only hooked up with Yan Siqi, but also hooked up with his younger brother Zheng Zhilong. When the Songjiang Artillery Factory opened, it was Zheng Zhilong who bought the Japanese copper from the Frankies of the Haojing Artillery Factory.
Like now we have to go through the North Koreans."
Yue Tuo nodded: "Then you go and talk to the North Koreans. The number of your blue flag will be the same as the number of our red flag."
Mu Zaohua asked without hesitation: "Master Zhengbai Banner, do you want to decide?"
Yue Tuan smiled lightly: "Since you said that Mang Gurtai is open-minded, then you should also set some standards for Zhengbai Qi."
"Okay, the Koreans live not far away. I will go and make a contract with them now. Beile can send a personal servant to go with me."
When the sun was about to set, Mu Zaohua appeared in front of Yue Tuo again.
"It's settled, the North Koreans will let us go to Huining in May and wait," Mu Zaohua said.
Yue Tuo calculated the journey back to Hetuala from Huining and felt a little regretful: "The lost wax method mentioned by Nikan craftsmen will not work in hot weather. Even if we get copper this year, we will have to wait for the weather to cool down before we can build the cannon. Ama
If Yuanhe Tieling is to be opened in autumn, there will still be no cannons."
Mu Zaohua blurted out: "There is also the clay model method that can be studied. Niba is easier to serve than wax. Aya and I met in Songjiang."
Seeing Yue Tuo's sudden silence, Mu Zaohua seemed to realize something, and her tone immediately lowered: "I'm sorry, Belle, I shouldn't mention Aya."
Yue Tuo waved his hand and looked at Ashue who was setting up rocks and firewood.
After the kimchi poisoning incident, Mu Zaohua took the bannermen from Zhenglan Banner and moved in to live next to Yue Tuan. She also bought a few Korean iron pots at the market, and dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes and accents.
I asked fellow villagers nearby to buy grains, rice, vegetables and game, and then made a fire to cook.
The aroma of rice mixed with the aroma of meat spreads out.

.
Yue Tuo crossed his arms and looked for a while, then turned around and found that Mu Zaohua was missing.
He walked towards his bagara alertly: "Where is that Han girl?"
Bagala looked like he had finally caught the opportunity to show off his merits: "Master, don't worry, I'm afraid that those silly roe deer in Zhenglan Banner are not smart enough. If she is actually a spy and goes to find people from the Ming Dynasty, the silly roe deer won't notice, so
The servant has been staring at her, she just took out a cigarette rod from the tent, and here she is sitting on the stone beach, smoking."
Yue Tuo patted his attendant on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the river.
"Baylor still has her in my heart, right? I do too. Sometimes I can still dream once or twice that Aya is making pancakes for me. Her skills are much better than Axue. She is especially like my sister. My sister is a pancake in my hometown in Shandong.
She was starving to death. When I stole some food and carried her back, she was already dead. Later, I worked with Aya as an errand for a man named Zheng. I thought God was kind and gave me my sister again."
As soon as Yue Tuo sat down next to Mu Zaohua, he heard her talking non-stop.
Yue Tuo looked at the river where water birds were gathering. He waited until the female voice around him stopped and then said, "I was the one who harmed Aya."
"It's her own stupidity!" Mu Zaohua suddenly became excited. "It was only when I arrived in Hetuala that I gradually heard that Beile wanted to take her with him. Why did she stay? She wanted to be a loyal servant, and the master
Is he someone worth following? Zheng was angry that his right-hand man was shot to death by the Tong family, so he got angry with Aya and forced her to hit the knife point. No, I even think that it was Zheng who killed Aya during the interrogation.
, I just made it up to the outside world that I am afraid of committing suicide."
When Mu Zaohua said this, she took a long drag on her cigarette holder. After a moment of silence, she opened the copper cigarette butt and said in a sad tone: "Aya gave birth to a baby in Liaoyang. It took three days for the baby to come out. She was in terrible pain. I want to ask for my last name."
Zheng gave her a sip of Ah Piao Mu ointment to calm her down, but Zheng refused, saying that if she couldn't bear the pain, she was not worthy of being a dog."
Yue Tuo stared at the obscure solid point in the tobacco: "Is this it?"
"Yes," Mu Zaohua poked the paste with a copper needle, "I bought this from a North Korean today. If my body hurts, sucking this will help. If I feel bad, sucking this will help even more."
Yue Tuo stretched out his hand.
Mu Zaohua sighed slightly: "Baylor, don't smoke too much, this is stronger than dry tobacco."
Yue Tuan closed his eyes in the new and strange feeling.
"Miss Mu, I have lived in the Ming Dynasty, and I know you are right. If we occupy Huining, we will no longer be roe deer in the corner. We will be able to see the ships and all kinds of good things carried on them."
