Chapter 171 Tamra Restoration

Chapter 171 Tamra Restoration
The intelligence department immediately spread the news of Zhaoqing to Hangzhou. This time, Gu Yanwu's trip to Zhaoqing went very smoothly.Not only did he achieve the set goal explained by Qian Mo, but he also thought that he had harvested the relief supplies allocated by Liu Guoxuan and the Yongli court.

Qian Mo thought that Ma Jixiang didn't look as bad as the legend said, he knew how to reciprocate after collecting the money, and got himself disaster relief money and food.

However, this reminded Qian Mo that several prefectures in northern Zhejiang were hit by floods, and this year's summer grain was greatly affected.It seems that the governor's government still needs to get more food in case of accidents.

Now that Li Chengdong has led his troops to the north, it is impossible for Chen Jin in Fujian to send troops to assist the Qing army in southern Zhejiang.

Naturally, Qian Mo didn't have to be polite any more, and immediately ordered Huang Yu, the admiral of western Zhejiang, to send troops to capture Quzhou and Chuzhou; Zhang Huangyan, the governor of eastern Zhejiang, sent troops to occupy Taizhou and Wenzhou.

In this way, the whole territory of Zhejiang will be included in Qian Mo's sphere of influence, and he, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, will be more worthy of his name.

There are quite a few Qing troops who have surrendered in the hands of the Ming army, and the governor's office can't absorb so many for a while.These people cost a lot of food to keep for nothing, so Qian Mo decided to use the waste to let these Qing soldiers use their strengths to harm others.

Soon Tu Guobao, the general of Chongming, was called to Hangzhou by Qian Mo. Along the way, Tu Guobao was still quite nervous, because he had rebelled several times, and he was afraid that Qian Mo would settle accounts after the fall.

Tu Guobao and Qian Mo were old acquaintances. When they met Qian Mo in Chongming, Qian Mo only had two or three hundred people.Now he is still the general soldier of Chongming, but Qian Mo is already the Duke of Yue with a large number of state capitals, and the tens of thousands of powerful troops under his command have beaten the Qing army all over the place. How can people not sigh?
Tu Guobao, who was guilty of a thief, said: "The final general is also very anxious when he learns about the flood in northern Zhejiang. He is willing to donate 2 taels of silver as a little effort!"

Seeing Tu Guobao's frightened look, Qian Mo knew that he must be thinking too much, thinking that he was going to liquidate him.But who would think too much money?
Qian Mo said: "The Tu Zongbing has a heart, and Qian Mo thanked you on behalf of the people affected by the disaster. The governor heard that the Tu Zongbing was originally a pirate, so he must be no stranger to this business of killing people and stealing money, right?"

Hearing what Qian Mo said, Tu Guobao panicked even more.I thought to myself, Qian Mo, you are too dark, you have just received my money, and you are going to liquidate it?If you said that you rebelled against Daming, I would admit it, but now you have to bring up the matter of me becoming a bandit before, that would be too unkind.

Despite scolding his mother in his heart, Tu Guobao said respectfully: "It is true that the last general was a bandit in Taihu Lake in his early years, and he was recruited by Hong Chengchou later."

Qian Mo looked at Tu Guobao with a smile and said: "Looks like Taihu Lake is really a good place, but now the governor has a better place, where the Tu Zongbing can use his expertise in looting!"

So Qian Mo ordered someone to open a map, pointed to the north and said, "Does the general soldier know where this is?"

Although Tu Guobao was a pirate, he had been a high-ranking official for several years. He said, "Is it possible that Duke Yue will lead troops to Phi Island to rebuild Dongjiang Town, following the example of Mao Wenlong who plundered the rear of the Qing Dynasty?"

Qian Mo didn't expect this national treasure to have such knowledge. He just pointed to the north on the map, and he could think that he wanted him to harass Man Qing's rear. Maybe this guy could really make a big noise .

So he said: "It seems that the Tu Zongbing is thinking of going with Bendu, would you like to go back to the old business and do the business of killing people and stealing goods?"

This is a difficult time for Tu Guobao, he is of course familiar with killing people and stealing goods, burning, killing and looting.He also misses the life of drinking in big bowls, eating meat, and raping.But it also depends on the target, bullying and bullying ordinary people, they are naturally like a fish in water.

But Qian Mo wanted him to go deep into Liaodong, not to mention the poor villages and corridors there, where there was not much oil and water; moreover, it was the old lair of the Tartars. Although the main force of the Tartars had already entered the customs, those Jurchens were tough people. I'm afraid he won't fare well either.

So he said: "At the beginning, the imperial court supplied Dongjiang Town from Dengzhou, which cost a lot of money every year. Although the governor's government now controls the sea route, the main force of the Tartars has already entered the customs. I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain by spending a lot of money every year to harass Liaodong?"

Qian Mo said: "Who told you that the governor's office is going to spend money to harass Liaodong, how can the governor do such a loss-making business?"

So Qian Mo pointed to the Korean peninsula and said: "This North Korea used to be a vassal of my Ming Dynasty, but now it pays tribute to the Manchu Qing every year; now the governor's government is short of supplies and financial resources. Governor to plunder."

As soon as he heard that he was going to North Korea, Tu Guobao regained his energy immediately, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yue, I will definitely bring back everything that North Korea can bring back to you."

Jeju Island, located in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula, covers an area of ​​1800 square kilometers. It was originally an independent kingdom called Tamna. Tamna was annexed by the Goryeo Dynasty in the early 12th century and became the territory of Joseon.

However, the star master (equivalent to the king) and the prince of Tamna still existed as decorations for 300 years.

The environment of Jeju Island is worse than that of the Korean Peninsula. The island is full of rocks and strong winds, and there is not much arable land.For a long time, it was regarded as a barren land for exile by the king of Joseon, and the population of the island was less than 3.

When the lucky boat of the Ming army appeared on Jeju Island, the Koreans on the island were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a big boat.So much so that when Tu Guobao and others disembarked, they didn't resist much, and quickly put down their weapons.

The original local national treasure is still ready to experience the joy of looting, but I never thought that the poor jingle of these Koreans on Jeju Island.Not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, not even much food was found.

An exasperated Tu Guobao cursed: "Go and find some young and beautiful chicks for me, I must vent my anger!"

I thought that robbing would not work, but adultery would be fine, right?

As a result, Huang Dabiao led a short, dark and ugly woman in.

Tu Guobao, who was full of expectations, scolded angrily: "Huang Dabiao, why did you bring this ugly monster here?"

Huang Dabiao hesitated and said: "This is the youngest and most beautiful woman in the town!"

Tu Guobao said to a shivering woman, "Is this man in his thirties?"

The woman trembled and said, "I'm only thirteen!"

Tu Guobao took a closer look at this woman with a dark face. It seemed that she didn't have any wrinkles, but why did her face look so old?
Huang Dabiao said: "The general has inquired about it. The wind on this island is very strong and the sun is very hot. These women are exposed to the wind and sun every day, so they look older; in addition, this Korean has a big face and high cheekbones. The facial features are poor, and the general really can't pick out good-looking ones."

Tu Guobao has no interest at all now, and said: "Take her down, or will it be cheaper for you?"

Huang Dabiao said with disgust on his face: "The last generals don't like it either, except for the few untouched women in the camp, who can be interested in them."

At this time, I saw Li Qianhu from the intelligence department, bringing a fair-skinned and good-looking woman in.

To be honest, if this woman was placed in Hangzhou City, she would be considered a passer-by at most, but with this pile of "green leaves", she is definitely a well-deserved beauty now.

Tu Guobao immediately brightened his eyes and said, "It's Li Qianhu who acted quickly, and found such a stunner."

Li Qianhu said with a smile: "Maybe this caught the eyes of the Tu Zongbing?"

Tu Guobao swallowed his saliva and said, "On this Jeju Island, do I still have to choose the general soldier? This is not bad."

Li Qianhu said: "This is the descendant of the last star lord of the Tamra Kingdom. The Tu Zongbing might as well accept her directly as the star lord, so that we can announce the restoration of Tamra Kingdom."

Tu Guobao said: "This is a poor and remote village in Tamluo, where you can't even grow much food. What does Duke Yue want here?"

Li Qianhu said: "Although there are not many products on this island, it is suitable for raising horses. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols once set up a horse herding mansion here. The war horses of the governor's mansion were all captured. There is no good pasture in Zhejiang, so Duke Yue decided to turn this place into our ranch."

Soon the two completed their wedding at the foot of Halla Mountain, and Tu Guobao officially became the new generation of Star Lord of Tamra.At this time, 244 years have passed since the last star master of Tamna Kingdom was deposed.

In order to witness this glorious moment, almost all Tamna people on the island attended the wedding of Star Lord.

Although it is only a small country, Tu Guobao actually experienced the feeling of a king, and excitedly knelt and kowtowed three times in the direction of Hangzhou.

Soon Tu Guobao announced: Tamna has become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty!

The Tamna people on Jeju Island were oppressed by the North Koreans, and their lives were very hard. Although the country has been destroyed, they have not forgotten their identity as Tamna people.The descendants of the Tamra nobles on the island can also speak Chinese, and they are very proud to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing Tu Guobao did was to expand the pier on the island. Fortunately, with the help of Xianlihui, the expansion of the pier was completed quickly.Then they started to build a second deep-water pier at the location of Seogwipo in the later generations.

The governor's office also attached great importance to Tamna, and 500 displaced people were sent to the island soon after. They will settle in Tamna and teach the locals some advanced production techniques.

The governor's office also specially sent 10 teachers to popularize Chinese characters and Chinese to the residents of the island, and those Tamna nobles who originally knew Chinese also joined in as translators.

Now as the national treasure of Tamra King, of course, he brought 5000 people to practice day and night, ready to expand the territory of Tamra at any time.

The conditions on the island are indeed quite difficult, and even the food cannot be self-sufficient.Except for some cattle, horses and sheep on the island, only pearls are considered special products.But these pearls are not easy to come by, and they are collected by the divers on the island who braved the wind and waves to dive into the sea water.This is a very dangerous job, and those poor ama will die in the sea if they are not careful.

Moreover, due to long-term immersion in the icy sea water, many of those women lost their fertility, which is one of the reasons why the island's population has not been able to grow.

However, the king of Joseon is very greedy, he asks for a large amount of pearls every year, those haenyeo can only exchange their lives for those pearls day after day, the Tamna people on the island hate the Koreans to the core.

When Li Qianhu announced that Jeju Island no longer needed to pay tribute pearls, the Tamna people on the island were overjoyed.

Tu Guobao was worried, he said: "There is no special product in Jeju Island, only the pearls can be sold, and now the pearls are broken, how should I explain to Yue Guogong?"

"Before I left, I promised the Duke of Yue that he would move everything that North Korea could move back to Hangzhou. Now, instead of being able to contribute to the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion has to transport food here. Tu is really ashamed of Yue. Duke!"

Li Qianhu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the special products of Jeju Island. The Duke of Yue said that the climate here is suitable for growing some oranges. We have already started transplanting them."

"The Kingdom of Korea has bullied Tamna for so long, so it must pay some compensation. Duke Yue asked you to move to North Korea, but didn't he let you move to Jeju Island?"

In the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, the Joseon King Lee Jae's face was livid, and he angrily tore Tamna's letter of credentials to pieces.He roared angrily, "Come here, drag this Tamra envoy out and behead him."

At this time, Jin Zizhi, the leader of the Joseon Dynasty, said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Tamna is just a small country. Now it has rebelled and established itself. It is enough to send a large army to attack. Why get angry!"

Li Zhen said: "Tamra Star Master actually said that I have bullied Tamra in North Korea for more than 500 years, and asked me to compensate Tamra with 500 million taels of silver. How can I not be angry?"

As soon as Li Zhen's words came out, there was an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. This little Tamna has such a big tone. He is so small that he dares to shout at our Joseon Kingdom!
Just when they were filled with righteous indignation and were about to teach the little Tamna a lesson, a shocking news came: the Tamna navy had smashed the North Korean navy in the Jeju Strait, and the Tamna army had landed in Jeolla Province. Surrounded Naju.

Although North Korea has always been weak, in recent decades, it was first beaten by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and then rubbed on the ground by the Qing army twice.Even Li Zhen was forced to kneel down and kowtow three times to Huang Taiji, and recognized North Korea as a vassal state of the Manchu Qing and paid tribute to the Qing every year.

But this small Tamna country was annexed by North Korea more than 500 years ago, and even the symbolic Tamna Star Lord has been banned for more than 200 years.

At this time, they suddenly returned to the country and took the initiative to fight from Jeju Island to the Korean Peninsula. This is unbearable.

Although Li Ji is the king of Joseon, since he killed his son, Prince So Hyun, the power of the government has fallen into the hands of Jin Zidian, the leader of the government.

The Andong Kim Clan where Jin Zidian works is firmly in control of the court. Although Tamna's sudden rise surprised him, he also thinks this is a good opportunity to make military achievements.

So he appointed his son Jinlian to command 8000 defenders in Gyeonggi Province to relieve the siege of Quanzhou.
