In the Ming army in Liaodong, each guard had an iron field, and most of the iron fields were located in adjacent iron mines.

However, because not every place has iron ore, or there are, it has not been discovered for the time being. Therefore, some wards have to adopt the form of "enclaves" to set up their own iron field in other wards.

Changning Fort Iron Field is the "enclave" of Haizhou Guards, which belongs to the control of Dingliao Zuo Guards.

There are iron-fired sergeants stationed in each iron field all year round, with roughly 60 people in each field. These 60 sergeants are mainly responsible for the safety of the iron field and the storage of iron ore and weapons produced. Therefore, most of these iron-fired sergeants are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the various guards.

Generally, a slightly larger iron farm will employ hundreds of miners, while a smaller iron farm will generally not exceed 100 miners. The iron farm in Changning Fort was established during the Jiajing period and has abundant iron ore resources. In the 29th year of Wanli, Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mine Supervisor, wanted to swallow the iron farm, but failed to do so. He had a big argument with Li Chengliang for this.

However, unlike the miners employed by other local iron farms, the miners of Changning Fort Iron Farm were Japanese. These Japanese were brought back from North Korea more than ten years ago when the Ming army won the victory. After more than ten years, there are only less than four hundred people left.

At the beginning, these Japanese people couldn't even speak Chinese, and they had to rely on the Han people to communicate with each other. Now, most of these Japanese people can speak Chinese.

At that time, the Ming army brought back many Japanese prisoners from North Korea, and the number of Japanese surrendered by the two expeditions was probably nearly 10,000. Therefore, in order to prevent these Japanese surrendered in the Ming Dynasty from being unpredictable and harming one side, Emperor Wanli issued a special order to reorganize. The result of the reorganization was that at least half of the Japanese surrendered were placed in the nine-sided important areas to resist the northern enemy. The remaining half were lucky and led by Liu Jing to the southwest, and the rest were all in Liaodong.

I'm afraid no one can tell how many people surrendered to Japanese in Liaodong are now. Some of these surrendered Japanese were placed in the army, some were regarded as coolies in the mines, and some were used by generals as knights.

Not every Ming army general treated his subordinates equally like Liu Jing. Therefore, in recent years, the trend of surrendering Japanese in Liaodong was very popular. The escaped Japanese were mainly mine coolies, and the one under Zheng Duo named Yugali of Dadao was the fleeing Japanese in Changning Fort Iron Field.

After escaping from the Changning Fort Iron Field, Odao became a horse bandit. Some surrendered to the Japanese and fled to the beach to find a boat to return to Japan. However, local fishermen found out that they were tied up and sent to the official, and their fate was naturally miserable. Some ran to the Jurchens and were taken in by the Jurchens.

At present, there are more than a hundred people who fled to surrender to the Japanese in Jianzhou, and some other tribes exist more or less. There may be some from the Mongolians. No one knows what the situation is. After all, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conduct a statistical survey on the survival situation of these surrendered Japanese invasions and then send it to Japan.

In fact, Japan has long regarded these surrendered Japanese as dead. Whether they were captured by the Ming army or voluntarily surrendering and fleeing, these surrendered Japanese have lost all the face of Japan. Although there have been calls in China over the years, wanting to redeem some surrendered Japanese from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, because Tokugawa Ieyasu is now in a civil war with the Toyotomi family in Japan, this call has not received any response.

The reason why Zheng Duo proposed to surrender to the Japanese was that Changning Fort was more than 20 miles away. If he rushed there now, he could bring people and then a little armed force, he could become a strong force.

As long as Li Chengliang or Nurhaci did not send a large army to hunt down Zasaktu, then with Zheng Duo's Flying Tiger Army and surrender to the Japanese, Wei Liangchen had a high chance of getting Zasaktu.

As for how to deal with people, it is not something Zheng Duo is concerned about. He has already told Wei Liangchen where there is someone to use. If Wei Liangchen can't get someone out of it, he is not capable of it.

Liangchen admitted that Zheng Duo's proposal was very good, because those mines surrendered to Japan were once elite soldiers of the Japanese army. They had fought wars at home and in North Korea, which was much better than ordinary miners who had never been on the battlefield to kill people.

The right time and place are harmonious, and the good ministers know the direction of history; the right place is right, and he is stuck in the only way for Zasaktu to enter the pass; the right people are harmonious, even Li Chengliang and Nurhaci do not know that there is a third-party force like him.

As long as these weapons of surrendering Japan were given, they could immediately put them on the battlefield. Liangchen was very moved, but Wei Liangchen was just a two-dial servant in the iron field of the Liaodong Dusi who surrendered to Japan. Why did he get the people out?

"If it is a matter of ease, urgent, slow and heavy, the servant can kill the city god with a white card, and you can also order the iron field." Li Yongzhen glanced at Shen Lian and others not far away, and whispered: "The power of the Li family is fine, it's okay for the servants to use it."

It really reminded the dreamer that Wei Liangchen chuckled and asked Tian Gang to go over and ask Shen Lian and the others to set off.

"Go to Changning Iron Field?"

Shen Lian was stunned. Didn’t he agree to go to Shenyang? Why did he change his mind to go to Changning Iron Field again?

Li Yongzhen said: "Whisheren goes there and has something to do, and Shen Xiaoqi will follow him."

"This...well."

Shen Lian was helpless. Wei Sheren is now very famous. Since he played a white card and forced the city god to rain, the three words Wei Liangchen spread throughout the land of Liaodong like a wind. Wherever he passed, the people regarded him as a god, and even ignorant people built temples for Wei Liangchen.

Fortunately, the ancestral temple has only been built a few places, and it looks like the Land Temple. Otherwise, if it is really like the City God Temple, the Wei Sheren would probably not have the blessing to be saved.

Originally, Shen Lian was more or less despised by Wei Liangchen, the little escort and obeyed orders all the way because of Li Rumei's orders. Now, Shen Lian was somewhat afraid of this little sacrificing person who could kill the gods.

There are some things that are better to trust than to trust nothing.

Zheng Duo called Dadao and asked him to take the two of them to the Iron Field first to contact the Japanese surrendered inside. Tian Gang also went with them, but he went to say hello to the officials of the Iron Field in advance and told them that the Secretariat's servant Wei Liangchen was about to come for inspection. In addition, the inner court Eunuch Li was also accompanying him.

This move was thought of by Li Wei. Since he wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would borrow more. It doesn’t matter if the Jinyiwei had enough, or not, it would be better if he had the father-in-law of the inner court.

These are not enough. Will the Li family give you the face? It is not enough. So I have to ask Wei Sheren to kill you, a small iron field official, to kill you like a city god.

Iron farms also have money and food expenses.

Wei Sheren came to your iron court for the emperor. As the deputy envoy of co-organizing money, grain and debts, he came to your iron court for business. It depends on your iron court officials who are not good at it.

When he left, Liangchen felt that he was getting more and more awkward now. The officials were doing miscellaneous flows, and the people who used them were all miscellaneous flows.

I hope those who surrendered to the Japanese can use it for their own use.

………

At Changning Fort Iron Farm, more than 20 years away, just after lunch orders, a group of Japanese miners received steamed buns and drank them with pickled soup.

These foods are not as good as sashimi and rice dumplings in my hometown.

However, the Japanese who had been tired for a long time had a good time eating very delicious food. They swallowed it one by one, hoping to eat a few more.

The iron farm is quite humane. After dinner, the Japanese workers have half an hour to rest. First, it is to make it convenient for them, and second, it is to eliminate food. Otherwise, it will inevitably hurt the body when rushing to the mine to work.

This Japanese worker is very hardworking, and he works hard and has little wages, so he can't lose it in vain.
