Today's weather is particularly good. There is no cloud in the blue sky. The sea and sky in the distance are connected, making it difficult to tell where is the sea? Where is the sky? A fiery red sun rises slowly, giving this cold

Winter brings a rare kind of warmth. If you move a chair and lie in the sun at this time, it is really a rare enjoyment.

Unfortunately, not everything is beautiful under the sun. Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun slowly walked through the water village of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce. Most of the buildings on this land have been burned to ashes, with piles of broken beams and broken columns.

Occasionally, there are still wisps of black smoke coming out.

Although the body had been moved away, the large areas of blood on the ground proved to them that a fierce battle had taken place here, and there was even a smell of barbecue in the air, which made Xie Lingyun and Sanniang behind him look pale.

It was so ugly that I even opened my mouth several times to vomit, but nothing came out.

Last night's sneak attack went very smoothly, even far exceeding Zhou Zhong's expectations. In particular, no one expected that Pu Yuanjiang, the president of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, and several stewards were all drunk and unconscious until Sun Tong took over.

When they got up from the bed, these people had not sobered up, and some even started to curse drunkenly. It was not until Sun Tong raised his hand and slapped the other party more than a dozen times that Pu Yuanjiang and others woke up.

In addition, the results of the battle were also calculated this morning. More than 370 people from the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce were killed in the end, and more than 100 people were burned. The remaining 200 people, except for some who surrendered on the spot, the rest

Most of the people managed to escape to the port, but unfortunately Zheng Ling had burned all the boats, so there was no way to escape by boat. Moreover, even if they got on the boat, the locks were destroyed, making it difficult to escape.

In the desperate situation with the pursuers behind and the sea in front of them, some people actually jumped into the seawater in the port. Unfortunately, because the weather was too cold, many people froze to death in the sea. The rest who did not dare to jump into the sea surrendered on the spot.

Of course, there were some Koreans who were lucky or had amazing agility and fled to the wall of the water village, and then climbed over the wall to escape, but those were just individuals and did not affect the overall situation at all. It can be said that after this battle, the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce almost

completely annihilated.

In fact, it is not surprising that they can achieve such great results. After all, the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce is just a group of smugglers. Although they have weapons in their hands, they are still a group of ordinary people. They cannot be compared with the regular army. At most, they can only be regarded as a group of bandits.

Moreover, it is the kind that can only fight with the wind. When it encounters a sneak attack at night, it is too late to react. In addition, there is no leader organization, so it will naturally be a complete defeat.

According to the final statistics, more than 180 North Koreans have surrendered. Now they are all squatting in an open space in the water village with their hands tied, surrounded by people from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family. The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and Xie

There were also casualties among the family members, but because the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce was defeated quickly, the casualties were very minor.

Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun walked to the square where the prisoners were guarded. Sun Tong, who was in charge of the custody, immediately stepped forward to report: "All 186 prisoners from the Young Master's family and the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce are here. What do you think should be done?"

Zhou Chong nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the Koreans squatting on the ground. Among them, there were a few kneeling people in the front wearing silk underwear. At a glance, he knew that they were senior officials of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce. It is very likely that Park Yuanjiang was

Among them, and behind them, were more than a hundred Koreans. These people were blackened by smoke. Some of them were seriously injured, with blood all over their bodies, and even their hands and feet were broken.

There were also many people. When Xie Lingyun saw the miserable condition of these prisoners, she couldn't help but show a bit of unbearable color in her eyes.

Just when Zhou Zhong was about to ask Sun Tong how the chamber of commerce dealt with prisoners in the past, he suddenly heard a sound of crying coming from the direction of the port. This made Zhou Zhong and the others feel very strange, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

As a result, after a while, Zheng Ling and Zheng Longhai, father and son, led a group of people from the port. In the middle of their group were twenty or thirty crying girls. Most of these girls

They are all thirteen or fourteen years old, their clothes are in rags, and their faces are dirty. However, if you look carefully, you can find that the appearance of these girls is not bad.

In addition to these girls, there are more than a dozen boys in the team. These boys are younger, most of them are six or seven years old, and like the girls, they are all handsome. It may be because these boys are too young, so they

They were even more frightened. They all opened their eyes wide with fear, unable to even cry.

"Uncle, where did these girls and boys come from?" Xie Lingyun asked with a puzzled look on her face when she saw these girls and boys.

However, Zheng Ling did not immediately answer Xie Lingyun's words. Instead, he rushed to the group of prisoners in the square and punched and kicked the top executives of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce. He also cursed:

"You bastards, fuck your eighteen generations of ancestors. I asked you to kidnap and traffic women and children. I have to drink your heart and soul today..."

Although Zheng Ling is not young anymore, he has been very strong because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Every punch and kick has the power to break wood and rocks. Now he attacks with all his strength. Pu Yuanjiang and the others are unable to resist, so they are beaten quickly.

He screamed repeatedly, and his nose and eyes were swollen.

Hearing the curse words from Zheng Ling's mouth, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun seemed to understand something. At this time, Zheng Longhai also stepped forward and explained: "Mr. Zhou, cousin, the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce is really not a thing. These girls and children are ours."

They were found in the bilges of two large ships in the port. According to the guards, these girls and children were abducted from the Ming Dynasty and would be transported to North Korea to be sold in the future!"

"What?" Zhou Chong was furious after hearing this, and there was a frightening glare in his eyes. Xie Lingyun next to him was also full of anger, and looked at the captives of the Cholla Chamber of Commerce without any sympathy.

"Fuck the ancestors of the Koreans, our Han Chinese Chamber of Commerce has unified a strict order and prohibits anyone from trafficking in human beings. I didn't expect that Pu Yuanjiang was so bold and dared to sell women and children privately. If we hadn't been hit by us today, I'm afraid everyone would

Everyone has been kept in the dark by them!" At this time, Uncle Tuo, who had been following Zhou Zhong, also said angrily.

Soon the story of human trafficking by the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce spread among everyone. This really aroused public outrage. People from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family all gathered in the square and beat and kicked the prisoners.

Kick, for a while the whole square almost turned into a gang fight, and there were several people around each prisoner who were "serving" with all their strength!

There is actually a reason why the Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family were so angry. With the development of smuggling, Koreans and Japanese also came to Shuangyu Port. At the beginning, they also did legitimate business with smugglers, selling silk, porcelain, etc.

goods, but slowly, some Japanese and Koreans began to have wrong ideas.

Speaking of which, although dynasties have changed in the Central Plains, they have always been the undisputed overlord of the surrounding countries. Whether it is Korea or the Japanese country, they all serve as ministers. It may be this mentality that causes the people of these countries to face the Central Plains.

Human beings are born with a sense of inferiority.

For example, in the Song Dynasty, unmarried Uighur women and Japanese women found men from the Song Dynasty, had sex with them, and then returned to the country when they were pregnant. This was called a race. Moreover, these women with Song blood were not only not discriminated against

, on the contrary, it is an honor, and even the men of the same tribe are vying to marry these women. (Note: This is definitely a historical fact, not a fabrication by Lao Yu. You can find the explanation by searching "Du Zhong" on Baidu.)

It is precisely because of this inferiority complex that in the eyes of the people of small countries such as Korea and Japan, the blood of the Central Plains people is undoubtedly very noble. Originally, this was nothing. After all, the Central Plains region has always been the center of civilization in East Asia and is naturally favored by surrounding countries.

Worship. But when smuggling started along the Ming Dynasty, a very bad situation emerged.

For example, in small countries like Korea and Japan, some of their nobles not only like to read Chinese books and speak Chinese out of their admiration and love for the Central Plains civilization, but many even dream of having a Central Plains beauty. But unfortunately,

The people of the Central Plains have always regarded the surrounding small countries as barbarians. Even if a woman marries a beggar from her own country, she is probably not willing to go to those barbarian lands. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the nobles to obtain Han beauties through normal channels.

It is precisely because of the demand of domestic nobles and the prevalence of smuggling that some Japanese and Koreans began to collude with some scum among the Central Plains people and abduct some girls and sell them to Japanese and Koreans, and most of these women came from the coast.

area.

Whether they are members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce or the Xie family, most of the people involved in smuggling are also people from the coastal areas. They are forced to embark on the smuggling road because of life constraints. Most of the girls abducted by human traffickers are also them.

They are fellow villagers, and may even be their sisters. It is precisely because of this that most smugglers in the Ming Dynasty have always deeply hated such people as human traffickers.

Fortunately, the situation of human trafficking did not last long. A few years ago, Zhou Zhong's father Zhou Hai, as one of the overlords of Shuangyu Port, joined forces with the Xie family and other Ming Dynasty chambers of commerce to eliminate several Japanese involved in human trafficking in one fell swoop.

and the Koreans, and then set up strict rules to prohibit anyone from trafficking in human beings, and then eliminated the signs of this unhealthy trend. However, they did not expect that less than ten years later, someone would dare to do it under their noses.

Human trafficking simply ignores their original strict orders.
