Chapter 178 Park Sung-sung and Park Sung-yin

Unlike ordinary islands, rugged bays, promontory, capes and other terrain are rarely seen on Danluo Island, with flat sandy beaches everywhere. Because it is a typical volcanic island, the entire island is formed by magma eruption.

To put it vividly, Danluo Island is like a fried egg on a pan, and the raised egg yolk is Hannah Mountain. This leads to the lack of natural ports in the huge Jeju Island, and only a few ports such as Jeju Port are still useful.

Therefore, Jeju Port became the Jeolla Right Door Naval Navy of the Lee Dynasty, stationed at Danluo Island. Moreover, Jeju City is not far away, so Lord Park Sung-sung-sung-pun, the governor of the Jeolla Right Door Navy Army, would live in the city every time he went to the island and accept the reception from those big merchants.

Although Danluo Island was the place where the Li Dynasty raised horses and exiled, Jeju City was very prosperous. Even if it could not be compared with the city of Quanzhou, the enjoyment that can be obtained here was completely incomparable to Quanzhou.

But this time Park Sung-sung was abnormal and did not go to the city to have fun, but lived in the navy camp honestly. The Lord Zhou Mu was very surprised and sent an envoy to ask if anyone was unhappy with the right envoy last time?

The military camp general was in the room.

Park Chengxing wore a black gauze net scarf, a silk jacket with a small silk jacket, and a wide-crotch fat-leg pants with a thin belt to tie the wide trouser leg line. She wore a pair of white cloth socks and sat cross-legged in front of a charcoal basin.

A baking tray was put on a charcoal basin, and the pork belly and pork skin were sizzling.

A younger man dressed like him, sitting opposite the baking tray, was flipping the roasted pork skin with a copper clip.

While greedily twitching his nose, Park Sung-sing said to the clerk who was kneeling at the door: "Go back and ask Lord Li to rest assured. I am just having military information and can't leave the military camp without permission. When the enemy situation is lifted, I will naturally go to find him for fun."

"If you understand, then don't disturb the right envoy." The little official bowed and retreated.

The young man gave the roasted pork skin to Pu Chengxing. Pu Chengxing dipped it into the sauce in a shallow dish, wrapped the pig skin, radish strips and scallions into lettuce leaves, and then sent it to his mouth to take a bite, and said in a nasal voice with enjoyment:

"Oh, Trojan, Pig Skin and Dashe are really a perfect match..."

After saying that, he started chewing.

The young man opposite asked without looking at the atmosphere: "Brother, are we really going to attack the fleet of the Celestial Empire?"

"Uh..." Park Sung-sung choked when he heard this, rolled his eyes and pointed at the teacup on the table.

The young man quickly picked up the wheat tea for him, and Park Sung-sung took it to drink it, then he said with a relaxed sigh: "Sung Yin, should we talk about this during dinner?"

The young man named Cheng Yin was Park Sung-sung's younger brother. He relied on his brother to be a navy Yuhou and quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother, my little brother is wrong. But my little brother is really too scared. This dynasty has been founded for 170 years, and no one has ever dared to offend the Celestial Empire?"

"Bastard, there is no rule!" Park Sung-shen's eyes were wide open, and he was so angry that he held up his chopsticks to suck him.

"Brother, I'm worried about you." Park Sung-in looked at Park Sung-sung and said, "You are the pillar of our Park family!"

"Oh..." Park Sung-sung then put down his hand depressedly, and poured a glass of soju wine in depression, sighed long: "I've been pinched by someone. What can I do?"

A month ago, he received an anonymous letter, which listed his entry and exit accounts in the Celestial Dynasty Hengtong Records and threatened that if he did not do what he said in the letter, he would send the account book to Seoul.

This took Park Sung-sung's life. If the guys in Wang Jing who ate people and didn't spit out bones knew that they had 300,000 taels of silver in the Celestial Empire, they would have to search his house and wiped out the family.

The navy camp in Danluo Island, the main general's room.

"Is it scary to deliver it to Seoul?" Park Sung-in asked in confusion: "The money was not made by me alone. The adults in Jinglei have a share, so they should help cover it up."

"Of course it's scary." Now, Park Sung-sung has nothing to hide from his younger brother. "Who doesn't know that the Jeolla Right Water Army governor is a first-class fat? I was able to snatch others because I agreed. I handed over 80% of the pump I got, and I only left 20% of it. Others want 30% or even 40%. The adults think I am sensible and not greedy, so they let me be this governor."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly and said, "In the past two years, I have been filial to the capital for a total of 120,000 taels of silver, and the adults are quite satisfied. If the adults know that in addition to the 20,000 taels I sent home, I also saved 300,000 taels in the Heavenly Dynasty? What do you think?"

"Ah, so much?" Park Sung-in was so scared that he dropped the clip in his hand. He didn't expect Oppa to be so brave.

"Don't you be so loud, don't you want to live?" Park Sung-sung hurriedly covered his brother's mouth. You should know that the entire Korean navy's annual military pay was only 50,000 taels... If the soldiers outside knew that the general actually ate 300,000 taels alone, they only let them drink some soup. He would have to roast the two brothers alive.

"I asked my ex and I. They were filial to each other a year, and never exceeded 50,000 taels. Who knew that I should get rich? Soon after taking office, I caught up with the internal strife of the nine members of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the sea trade from Jiangnan to Japan was cut off. Now the Japanese can only purchase goods from our Jeju Island. The island-shanghai merchants are now so popular."

Park Sung-sung said, licking his lips and lowered his voice: "The smuggling ships entering and leaving our Jeju Island have increased by more than three or four times, and our pumping has naturally increased by several times. But I asked those maritime merchants to deposit most of their money into the account of the Celestial Dynasty, and only a small part of them paid the cash."

As he said that, he sighed and said, "Brother, I am not greedy for money, but I am worried that the nobles in Wangjing will kick me away when they see that the seat is several times more oily."

Park Sung-in said, isn’t this just greed for money?

But he said worriedly: "Then we cannot attack the fleet of the Celestial Empire. Once the Celestial Empire pursues the case, even if the King wants to suffer a sin, who can protect Oppa?"

"I know, I know, I won't take that risk..." Park Sung-sung nodded with a bitter face, suddenly pointed to the baking tray and exclaimed: "It's so fuzzy..."

"Oh, it's such a pity." Park Sung-in quickly put the baked pork belly out of the baking tray, and wanted to throw it away with regret.

"Don't throw it away, prodigal son, and there is something to eat." Park Sung-shen quickly looked and clamped the black pork belly, carefully scraped off the paste with copper scissors, then dipped it in thick soy sauce, wrapped it with shredded radish and scallions, and took a bite and said, "There is no more flavor to eat."

"It's still my brother who can live a life." Park Sung-in was full of admiration and also treated the remaining pork belly like his elder brother. The two brothers then wrapped the leaves and ate them all.

Then they patted their belly together and tilted on the wooden floor.

Park Sung-sung burped and said, "I'm fine."

"I'm fine, too." Park Sung-in also burped and asked, "Brother, you haven't finished talking yet."

"Of course I'm not that stupid. I just sent the navy to fight the fleet of the Celestial Dynasty." Park Sung-sung crossed his legs and picked his teeth with a toothpick, saying: "Although the other party promises that they will be responsible for all the consequences, it's better not to mess with the fleet of the Celestial Dynasty."

After a pause, he leaned over and whispered to his younger brother: "I asked Boss Jin to contact the Japanese pirates in the Three Islands."

"Ah?" Park Sung-in was shocked again.

The so-called "three islands Japanese pirates" by the Koreans refer to Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island Mishima Island, which are only more than 400 miles away from Jeju Island. These three islands belong to the Hirado family of Japan and are a samurai group that has always been known for its naval army.

Because the Goryeo Kingdom assisted the Yuan Dynasty in attacking Japan, after the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, they often invaded the coast of Korea, and thus were called the "three islands of Japanese pirates" by Korea.

However, in the Japanese Northern and Southern Dynasties, because the Southern Dynasties supported by Hirado vassal were at a disadvantage for a long time, the economy was suppressed by the powerful Northern Dynasties. The political revenge and looting against North Korea turned into pure piracy against North Korea and the southeastern coast of China.

Among those Japanese pirates who invaded the Ming Dynasty, the "real Japanese" mainly comes from this.

~~

North Korea set up many beacons, water camps and even the Jeolladao naval army to defend against the Japanese pirates on these three islands.

But what is amazing is that a hundred years later, the Korean navy and the Japanese pirates on the three islands colluded and made a fortune together. They have never caused any Japanese disasters in recent years. It can be seen that if they want to achieve great harmony, they still have to make money together.

"How did the Japanese answer?" Park Sung-in asked nervously.

"The Japanese have robbed the coast of the Celestial Empire for many years, but they have not seen the Celestial Empire launch an army to attack. So they are not afraid of the power of the Celestial Empire at all. When they heard that there were fat sheep coming to the sea, they went out without saying a word." Park Sung-sung thought for a moment and said, "I have been waiting in the east of Maro Island for two days."

As he said that, he looked at the almanac on the wall and said, "According to the news from the Celestial Empire, the fleet was released from Chongming yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the same on both sides tomorrow morning."

"So that's it." Park Sung-in suddenly realized that no wonder he ordered all the navy troops to return to the camp to guard, because he was afraid of encountering the Japanese pirates' fleet.

"Protecting Jeju Island from infringement is the main task of our North Korean navy. In the absence of the enemy's situation, we choose to temporarily avoid the edge and prevent the Japanese pirates from landing, which is very reasonable." Park Sung-sung said seriously: "As for the fleet of the Celestial Empire, wasn't the Ming Dynasty's scattered boards not going into the sea? We don't know that they encountered attacks in the waters near Jeju, which is also very reasonable."

"Reasonable and reasonable, very reasonable." Park Sung-in felt relieved, and scratched his head a little bit, "But the Japanese pirates are cunning and bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. What if they hit a nail in the Celestial Chronicle fleet and turn around and robbed Jeju Island? Li Zhoumu is the brother-in-law of the prefect. If we blame the blame, we may not be his opponent."

"Well, it makes sense." Park Sung-sung scratched the soles of his feet with a deep understanding, and thought for a moment: "Well, you should take ten boats to the area of ​​Gaba Island, remove the banner, pretend to be a civilian boat, and line up with his back to Jeju Island. Don't interfere in their battles, just drive the ships away, and don't get close to Jeju Island."

"Including the ships of the Celestial Empire?"

"Of course, if the Celestial Empire landed on the island for help, would you say I should save it or not?" Park Sung-sung said with a look of course.

"Yeah, I understand." Park Sung-in nodded, got up and tidy up, and took the boat out to sea.
