Chapter 459 Beishan
In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has not been completely obedient to the Ming Dynasty in Chen Mu's impression.

Goryeo has never been obedient to the Central Plains since ancient times. It is nothing more than a cycle between being beaten and being subdued. The remembrance and remembrance of Gu Ming.

The Ming Dynasty is very similar to the later Lighthouse Kingdom in some respects. The bright and beautiful culture spread to neighboring countries, making people feel that everywhere is good. Li Dynasty is learning Chinese, learning books and understanding principles, and considers itself civilized.

But when the Korean officials entered the Ming Dynasty, they found that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not successful in extorting bribes, which was particularly mean and rude. Is it because the people of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to be polite?

Not at all.

Lighthouses in any era will cause people to ignore the shadows under the tower due to the glare of the lights. It is only when outsiders suffer from dimensionality reduction that they feel that the other party is fine everywhere. In fact, no one can do anything wrong.

For North Korea, Daming was neither so good nor so bad, it was just a strong country, but the weak in the midst of the competition could only feel the image of the blind in their inferiority complex and make up a perfect picture in their minds.

Li Sunchen's hunting operation failed, because they stepped into the hunting area of ​​a neighboring tribe, both sides drew their bows and confronted each other and stepped out of the snow forest. The North Korean soldiers who stepped into the forest uninvited stared at them.

Words are useless, and actions can't reassure the other party. In the vast expanse of whiteness, Li Shunchen drew his bow to the full and looked at these Jurchens with yellow faces and black hair who were covered in thick leather jackets and showed hostility. He opened his mouth slightly and panted heavily. The exit seemed to be practiced in vain, and steam rose from the top of the head.

If it wasn't for a forehead mop, Sippoll would have been sweating even in freezing October weather.

Li Sunchen has only twenty or so Korean civilians. Although they dress like soldiers and act like soldiers, Li Sunchen knows that they are not soldiers. Even if they are worse than Chen Bazhi's soldiers, if the number of enemies is equal, they are evenly matched. .

After all, these Beishan Jurchens didn't look like soldiers, they were more like hunters assembled, they didn't even have armor and long knives, only spears, bows and arrows, and short knives, obviously a group of hunters.

But the problem is that the numbers are not equal. The fifty or sixty Beishan Jurchens they have to face look fierce enough.

His men were likely to be scattered by a charge of strange men riding stags and holding spears.

You can't fight, and it's hard to escape.

The not dense pine forest can't hinder the deer cavalry from advancing, but the deep snow can prevent them from running, and those sled dogs bared their teeth and growled in a low voice, no matter what they choose, there seems to be no retreat.

Li Shunchen didn't even dare to blink his eyes. He slowly returned his fully drawn bow, raised his right hand and said to his subordinates, "Deer, the deer you hit, put it in front! Slow down!"

He really can't help it, he can't fight, he can't retreat, he can't even speak the language of negotiation.

A few timid North Korean soldiers put all the deer and rabbits they had hunted so hard in front of them. Li Shunchen couldn't get out of his anger, and said in a low voice: "I'll let you release the deer and rabbits, whatever you do, let them go." , don't pick it up!"

He almost bared the words between his teeth, but he obviously saw that the expression of the leader on the opposite side softened a little, and he quickly said: "Back slowly, follow the way you came, back slowly, no one runs, I will Empress."

The uninvited guests put down their prey and retreated slowly. The Beishan Jurchens were actually scratching their heads.

They got the news when the Korean soldiers entered the pine forest, and then the tribal leader gathered half of his men to rush over. At first, they thought that a neighboring tribe broke into their pine forest without permission, but they found these faces they had never seen before.

The tribal leader yelled a few times before the battle, asking why they came, but apparently the Koreans didn't understand; Yi Sun-shin yelled a few times before the battle, but Beishan Jurchen didn't understand either.

However, the communication of behavior is still very smooth. One side raises the spear and the bow is full, and the other side puts down the prey and starts to retreat. This kind of result is very good.

They are Chukchi people, and some Eskimos were assimilated in the tribe. In this era, they were called Beishan Jurchen by the Ming people. After a long migration, they settled here. means of living.

Due to the long and long migration journey, although they belong to the Beishan Jurchen branch, their language is clearly different from most Beishan Jurchen tribes. Even communicating with another tribe belonging to the Beishan Jurchen will be very difficult.

At the time of Ming Chengzu, they were ruled by Nurgan Dusi, but the era of Nurgan Dusi is undoubtedly very far away from now. Beishan Jurchen, who had seen the Ming people, had passed away long ago. What does it look like.

But in a world of ice and snow, it doesn't matter whether you can reason with words, it's important to let others put down their prey.

"Follow them and see where they come from. Their bows are very beautiful. I use a deer." The leader of the Beishan Jurchen pointed his spear at the deer that Yi Sun-chen handed over on the ground, and said, "Change the bow."

In any case, Li Sun-shin, who had escaped from the sky, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and led his troops to run wildly, not daring to relax their vigilance.

Dogs barked every once in a while in the pine forest, and the sound kept a certain distance from them, and the Jurchens were following them.

"Go and tell General Ma Jin that the Jurchens are following us, and I will take them to the east coast of the camp. I hope the general will send Korean soldiers to help me."

Not knowing the enemy or us, Yi Sun-sin could not bring these Jurchens back to the shore.

Ma Jin's subordinates are towing the ship on the coast, bringing the big ship closer to the coast, and counting the remaining luggage. Ma Jin is still optimistic.

Their water and food can be saved for two months, and the follow-up food fleet should have passed four thousand miles by now, so they don’t need to follow his crooked path. It won’t be long before the food will be brought here, and it may even be gone. very close.

Their mission has also been completed, at least now they know that there is really a strait here, opposite to America, and there is not much risk along the way except for the cold.

In the days that followed, Ma Jin could imagine that he would roast charcoal in the boat and draw charts with the captain of his subordinates, and survey and map the surrounding area, while his subordinates set up a post on the shore, and drank soju to survive the long winter of more than half a year.

When the strait is thawed next year, the follow-up troops will also complete reorganization and study, and the expeditionary force will arrive here and swarm to the mainland across the strait.

Ma Jin was not surprised to receive the news from Li Shunchen, on the contrary, he immediately ordered his banner troops to hold horses and guns, and led the Beishan Jurchens recruited along the way to shout and shout.

He has become accustomed to the communication method of the Ming army under the severe cold of Xiboer. With enough men and horses to intimidate, his words are never as favorable as the sound of guns. After forming the formation, the gunners fired their guns towards the sky.

After doing this, no matter which savage department it is, they can reach a consensus with the Ming army and become hospitable.

The bartering of things that should be bartered, and the mutual gift giving of gifts to each other can also attract some foreigners to be recruited as guides and troops.

Good luck!
