Chapter 242 Beating

On the second day of the first lunar month of the 27th year of Wanli, January 25, 1599 AD.

It was the bitter cold time when North Korea was windy and snowy, and the coldness of the middle of winter had not passed, and there was mud everywhere, making it difficult to walk. However, at this time, in Busan Port, North Korea, there were dense crowds of people, a busy scene. The Ming officers and soldiers in leather and iron armor, the Koreans in white, and the short Japanese prisoners, all of them came and went, busy.

Busan Port is the best place to start during the Japanese and Japanese battles. After countless people work day and night, there are thousands of soldiers stationed in Busan Port. Hundreds of warships from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea are parked on the Gujin Island, but those transport ships are parked in Busan Port.

The expedition was a huge project. It required tens of thousands of people to Japan's territory. At least a thousand warships were needed. In order to collect these warships, not to mention North Korea, but also civilian ships from Shandong, Liaodong and other places in the Ming Dynasty were collected. However, if there were no one or two thousand materials, they could not come.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty showed his huge national strength. In just the few months from October, because the soldiers of the North Korean Eastern Expedition urgently needed food and wages, they urgently transported 240,000 shi of grain from Shandong, Tianjin and Liaodong to North Korea, most of which were transported from Shandong and Tianjin from water. Subsequently, there was a continuous stream of grain and grass from sea.

These food and grass completely met Huang Lai Fu's daily demand. In order to unload and transport these food and grass, Huang Lai Fu ordered North Korea King Lee Kyung to mobilize the people of southern Korea and finally mobilized tens of thousands of civilians. Huang Lai Fu's own soldiers were used to fight wars, not porters. However, since Huang Lai Fu provided these North Koreans with full food, each of them had five cents a day for treatment, the local people rushed to come first and could enter the port of Busan to do things, which was the greatest expectation of many people.

After several years of war, all parts of North Korea were hungry and eating full is the greatest satisfaction for many people, not to mention that each person still has five cents a day. The Ming Dynasty coins are a hard currency in North Korea, with five cents a day, which is good for those North Koreans. Huang Lai Fu's arrangement has prompted the local Koreans to spread his reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday were the 30th day of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea and the first day of the Lunar New Year. Huang Laifu ordered the whole family to have two days off, including the Ming army and the Korean army, including the Korean civilians, Japanese prisoners, etc., to have a peaceful New Year.

The logistics camp distributed a large number of grain, rice, wine and meat, etc. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty could eat and drink as much as possible. The firecrackers exploded, full of festive smell.

Compared with the lack of food and clothing, lack of arms and arrows in the war in Ningxia a few years ago, the war in Korea was a result of the elite soldiers and sufficient food, because this was going abroad to fight, which was related to the face of the sect leader. Whether it was Emperor Wanli, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, or Huang Laifu, they all wanted face!

In the face of a vassal state, you must not lose face. This is the knowledge of all parties!

Not to mention that Huang Laifu sold Dongxing bonds this time and prepared 4 million taels of silver, which was enough to deal with all expenses during the Dongxing.

Therefore, from the First Korean War to the current Second Korean War, there has never been a shortage of food, grass and weapons for tens of thousands of Ming soldiers who went to fight! Not only that, because they were on the expedition, in addition to the usual military pay, there are also grain, levy money, and rewards from the court. Together, each ordinary Ming soldiers had at least two or three taels of silver in every month.

I can eat and drink enough every day, and there is so much money. In North Korea, even ordinary Ming soldiers are rich and old men. Countless North Korean women do not hesitate to serve them just for a few cents or a piece of biscuits and food. Many Ming soldiers each have a fixed number of friends. In this situation, Huang Laifu turned a blind eye, closed his eyes, and only instructed the doctors in the army to pay attention to the situation at any time to avoid the soldiers suffering from sexually transmitted diseases.

On New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty ate and drank happily and relaxed. It is said that the officers and soldiers of the North Korean country paid their own food and salary, but they soon followed the Ming army to fight against Japan. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, Huang Laifu also sent people to send some grain, rice, wine and meat. There were also hundreds of teams organized by tens of thousands of Korean men. During the Chinese New Year, some food and food were also distributed to each hundred people, which made them all feel grateful. There was a lot of rice and rice that cheered and thanked.

There were more than 14,000 prisoners of the Second Japanese Army. During the Chinese New Year, they also divided the wine and meat, which made many Japanese sing and dance.

Since December, they have been moved to Busan Port to work as a coolie, working from dawn to dark every day, and not stopping every day. It is undeniable that the Japanese are very hardworking and do heavy work every day without saying a word. However, since they can eat enough for three meals a day, and in winter, Huang Laifu even sent them winter clothes, these Japanese prisoners felt that their days are enjoying themselves.

In the past, when they were stationed in North Korea, they had poor food and clothing every day, and each meal was at most a rice ball. How could they eat better now when they were full and hungry? Due to Huang Laifu's order, the guards of the Ming Dynasty did not abuse them. However, when they often lined up to work, many Korean officers and soldiers and Korean people rushed up to beat and scold them. After several years of war, the Japanese and Koreans were as deep as the sea of ​​hatred. It was normal for every Japanese prisoner to be beaten up as soon as they went out.

In addition to hatred, there are many Korean officers, soldiers and civilians who beat and scolded each other, and they also have a sense of superiority to defeat the country. Although the Ming Dynasty was the main force in this war, it did not prevent many Koreans from considering themselves to be one of the victorious countries. This sense of superiority is even stronger in front of Japanese prisoners.

Huang Laifu naturally had no interest in dealing with the Japanese prisoners being beaten. He just ordered that when the Koreans retaliated and beaten, they could not beat these Japanese to death or seriously injured, because these Japanese prisoners would be of great use in the future.

However, although these Japanese prisoners were beaten every day, they had no complaints. The perseverance of the Japanese and their fear of the strong are fully reflected here. From the previous conquerors to the current punching bag, they changed this identity very naturally.

...

After New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, on the second day of the first lunar month, the Port of Busan returned to its busyness.

The troop transport ships and various material ships collected from North Korea and the Ming Dynasty have been gathered in several ports, especially the Busan Port, where densely packed ships of all sizes and large were parked on the beach. On the sea outside the port, hundreds of warships from the Ming Dynasty and the North were cruising in the Tsushima Strait day and night, and from time to time, various banners were issued, talking about the situation at sea.

After more than 10,000 Japanese prisoners' hard work, the Busan Port Pier has been repaired wide and deep, and many large ships can be docked directly on the edge of the pier. Teams of North Korean men and Japanese prisoners in white transported all kinds of goods to the ship, and there were constant sounds of shouting horns.

From the port pier to within dozens of miles from the port, there are couches and warehouses piled up with material goods everywhere. There are dozens of miles around Busan City, and there are dense military camps everywhere. The 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were boundless. The flags were black like dark clouds. Each camp was surrounded by high walls and deep trenches, and the guards were tightly guarded.

The daily demand of the 100,000 troops is astronomical, and countless grain trucks lined up in long queues of more than ten miles, sending supply from the Ming Dynasty or all parts of North Korea into the military camp. The huge, busy and strict ones are the weather of an Eastern Expedition army.

As the admiral of the Eastern Expedition, Huang Laifu naturally lived in Busan City, and his thousands of Shanxi Town Army were also living in the city. At present, Huang Laifu is fully responsible for Japanese affairs, and that was the former governor Xing Jie, who now lives in Wangjing, has become the logistics officer of the army.

There are many affairs in the Eastern Expedition to Japan, and many of them need to be decided by Huang Laifu himself. Therefore, during these days, Huang Laifu led his own soldiers and generals to the port of Busan every day.

When he arrived at the port, Huang Laifu was still satisfied with the dense warships in the sea and the busy and orderly flow of people in front of him. At this progress, he could still go on a regular basis on the fifth day of the lunar month.

...

"Japanese pirates, I'll kill you!"

At this moment, Huang Laifu saw a riot on the dock in front. Many Koreans in white were punching and kicking at several Japanese prisoners who were carrying grain and rice on board. Next to him was a group of excited Koreans watching, shouting loudly from time to time. A group of Ming and North Korean officers and soldiers next to him were watching lazily. This situation can be seen every day, and nothing is strange. It is normal for Koreans to beat the Japanese. As long as they are not beaten to death and seriously injured, they will not care about it if they violate the request of the Admiral.

Now the reasons why Koreans beat Japanese people are becoming more and more extensive. In addition to the original hatred of the war, the current Japanese prisoners have robbed some Koreans of their business, which is also a reason. The admiral of the Shangguo country has given mercy and asked many Koreans to come to work. In addition to eating a full meal every day, they also have money to take, which has attracted many Koreans who cannot survive.

However, since there are still many Japanese prisoners working here every day, these people do not have to spend money except for eating some every day, so naturally they save some money. Therefore, he tried to use Japanese prisoners to work as much as possible. This naturally seized the quota of many Korean civilians. Moreover, if there were no Japanese prisoners, the Shangguo army would need at least more than 10,000 Korean civilians, which would allow many villagers who could not survive to work.

But now there is nothing. These Korean men dare not blame the admiral of the Shangguo Kingdom, so they naturally vented their anger on the heads of these Japanese prisoners. Every day, they used these Japanese people as sandbags, and they rushed over and punched and kicked for a while when they got interested. However, not to mention that the Ming army and Koreans around were used to these things, even these Japanese prisoners themselves were used to it. In addition to some of the people who were beaten, the people who were not beaten still continued to work as if nothing had happened and were in a stable mood!
