Chapter 24: A Brief History of North Korea (4)
Chapter 24: Advancing North Korea (4)
Mopo during the Goryeo era was the second largest port in the entire Korean Peninsula, and the largest port was Incheon.
The market in Mokpo became prosperous at this time due to the agglomeration of tens of thousands of troops. Merchants and farmers who were a hundred miles away would also bring various goods to the market in Mokpo to sell.
The siege army had not arrived because more than 10,000 imperial guards who had arrived from the capital, and after waiting for more than ten days, the generals from all walks of life also let the soldiers go out to relax, so the entire Mopo Port became very lively.
A group of young men wearing light blue clothes and flat hats were walking in the market. The group held wine bottles in their hands, hugged their shoulders, and sang rough songs to sway across the market.
But they were generous and threw away a large ingot of ten taels of silver. Although they were rude and rude, the key was that they were rich.
The Koreans in the street market ordered them to visit them, and asked in ignorantly: "Who are these?"
The sensible one replied: "They are all sailors of the Liaodong Navy, who leaned against the dock three days ago. These sailors are rich, and they threw down a hundred taels of silver in the kiln yesterday. If they could patronize it, they would be well developed."
In the past two days, the craftsmen and supplies from the port were transported to the dock. Ada, except for leaving more than a dozen pipe workers and Marines, left behind the boat repairs, all other sailors were sent to the shore for shopping.
These sailors rolled on the sea every day, and had a natural attachment to the land. Once they got ashore, they immediately became crazy and unrestrained. They fought three times in just one day. Although there was no damage, they had already caused headaches from local security officials.
Several sailors came out of a restaurant, drunk, holding wine bottles in their hands, singing the sailors' songs: "We sailed in the rising sun, and we went home with the setting sun. On nights without stars, drunk until dawn; days without sun.
Fight until the moon rises…”
"Look, there is another brothel opposite. Yesterday I heard from the guy on the port side that the girl inside was so comfortable. Brothers came over and take a look." A few drunk sailors staggered into the brothel's gate.
When the madam saw that it was a sailor and knew that the business was coming, she quickly brought in a few people. She ordered the turtle worker to serve tea. Both sides did not understand the language, but in such a place, many languages were global.
Several sailors gestured to ask the madam for a woman. The madam knew what was going on without understanding it, so she quickly called upstairs. Not long after, several mediocre and fan women had already come down from the building with a laugh.
When several sailors saw that they were dressed as Han women, everyone looked at me. I looked at you and couldn't help laughing. A turtle worker didn't know what the sailors laughed, so he pulled one of his clothes and signaled: "Okay... OK."
"The sailors gradually understood what he meant, which was that the Han people's clothes were beautiful. Several people toasted and laughed loudly. The prostitutes didn't know what they were talking about. They just put on their thick pink faces and sat next to the sailors.
These women looked really disgusting. A leading sailor slapped the table and said, "Damn, what kind of rags are they? What about your top brands? Do you think I don't have any money? The brother on the port side said that there is a fan girl here.
"As he said that, he took out a ingot of silver and slapped it on the table.
The madam saw the sailor getting angry, but she didn't know what he said. A turtle man was very knowledgeable in Chinese and looked at the sailor and tried his best to figure out what he wanted.
The sailor came up and grabbed Turtle's clothes and shouted, "Fen Ji, do you understand? I want Cosmetic!" The Turtle finally figured it out and quickly said something to the madam. The madam said helplessly for a long time.
The turtle turned around and said helplessly: "Fan, that's it." He pointed at it.
The sailor finally figured it out and asked him to pull the person down from above with gestures. The turtle man looked embarrassed: "Someone, some people." The sailor slapped the turtle man aside with a drunkenness: "If you don't go, I'll go."
"As he said that, he raised his sleeves and walked upstairs.
The sailors went up to the second floor and distinguished it. He could only hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from a elegant seat. He kicked open the door. He saw a round table inside, and a group of people in military uniforms were sitting there drinking. Everyone was surrounded by prostitutes.
When the sailor saw that his appearance was indeed more beautiful than the one below, especially the one who was singing with his pipa in his arms.
The sailor shouted: "Which is the pink girl?" He stood up timidly with the pipa in his arms and replied: "I am." Seeing that she could speak Chinese, the sailor happily pulled her out.
There was a clamor in the room, and all the soldiers stood up and said something that the sailors couldn't understand.
A few sailors were still drinking downstairs. Suddenly, they heard a bang from the upstairs and saw their companions retreating from the room. The man retreated and shouted, "Brothers, help me, Xiaobangzi is doing it."
"The sailors pushed the women around them, stood up together, shouted and rushed upstairs, "Little Stick, I've turned you back..."
Suddenly, from upstairs to downstairs, the host and guest team had already formed a group of horses. "Bang" the sailor upstairs had been kicked downstairs by a Goryeo soldier. The male turtle man downstairs was so scared that he hid under the table, not knowing what to do.
Aida, who was commanding the craftsmen and the trauma workers to repair the ship, suddenly became particularly excited when she heard the report on the shore: "I dare to fight the soldiers of the Liaodong Navy. Hurry up, order the Marines stationed in the ship to pick them up. If you lose, don't come back to see me!!"
Twenty Marines garrisoned in a neat lineup with muskets on their backs and quickly ran to the door of the brothel. On the other side of the street, a team of Goryeo soldiers also ran over, and two people collided head-on at the door of the brothel.
When the general flag led by the Marine Corps saw this posture, he quickly ordered: "Line in two rows, be more energetic, don't be scared by the other party."
Seeing that the Liaodong Navy was in a fierce momentum, the leader of the Goryeo soldiers didn't know what to do at once, so he had to order his soldiers to form a formation to confront each other.
The sound of fighting inside continued, and the general flag could not bear it anymore, so he rushed into the brothel with ten people. The brothel had turned into a vegetable market, with tables and chairs everywhere, and people were overturned.
Two Liaodong sailors were knocked to the ground, and three were being beaten up by seven or eight Goryeo soldiers.
This is great, but the general flag did not rush to rob it and hit it, but instead shot it at the ceiling with a bang.
The smoke dissipated and the brothel was stuffed with people. The Goryeo soldiers who rushed in were shocked by the gunshots and looked at their Goryeo soldiers, and several Liaodong sailors who were beaten up.
The general flag shouted: "Why don't you snatch me up?" Several Marines rushed over and raised the sailors lying on the ground. The Marines were about to have an attack, and there were crowds outside, and someone had already come in to report: "The Band Team is here."
"When the general flag saw this situation, he thought, please retreat quickly, the hero will not suffer any loss in front of him. He retreated with his soldiers with guns and slowly withdrew from the brothel.
Hundreds of Goryeo soldiers had gathered outside. He greeted the people outside and carried several wounded men to the pier.
The general flag on the withdrawal ship looked at Aida's face and saw that he was in a state of uncertainty. The general flag said carefully: "Sir, there were hundreds of people in the other party just now. I really dare not take action. Please punish me."
The general flag was about to be scolded by Ada, but suddenly heard him say, "Hehe, it's not your fault. You did a good job. If you grab the person back, you have to remember your achievements. Send someone to retrieve all the sailors who are still in the city."
At this time, the small Mopo market was already in chaos, and the Liaodong sailors who were still arrogant just now were chased and beaten by the angry Goryeo people.
Any Han people wearing blue sailor uniforms were beaten up. At sunset, the sailors returned to the ship in groups of three or three, and almost no one was left unlucky.
What is most surprising is that Guanlai Aida not only did not be angry or afraid, but also jumped around happily. Aida asked Guanlai Craftsman: "How is it? Has the ship been repaired?"
The following answer: "It's almost repaired, but the sails are almost not repaired."
Aida said: "Can you provide the fastest speed?"
The following answer is: "Yes."
Aida said: "Okay, I will start the anchor at the third update."
After giving this instructed, he immediately seemed to have changed his face, and he found Jin Cun, who was serving the dock at a verge of force, and said, "Did you see it? Did you see it? What did our sailors be beaten? Is this Li Dynasty's way of hospitality for the Ming Navy?"
What happened on the shore during the day had already reached Jin Cun's ears. He also felt that the Liaodong Navy had done too much, but since he represented the official, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Sir, I heard that today's incident was entirely caused by the indecent behavior of your sailors. How can we blame us?"
Ada said, "Oh, what do you mean by this? Is it that you injured our sailors and you still don't admit it?"
Jin Cun bowed and said, "I haven't said this now. It's just that before the matter is investigated clearly, it's hard to say who is responsible."
Ada smiled softly and said, "Okay, let you investigate clearly before you talk. Please report to General Li that our ship has been repaired. Thanks to his warm hospitality. We will set sail early tomorrow morning.
"When he said that, he returned to the ship angrily.
Jin Cun snorted in his nose, and had already scolded the Liaodong Navy three hundred times in his heart. Didn’t he rely on the speed of the ship and the cannon to make a profit? What is the bull? But these right and wrong are not something he can do, so he could only go back to the camp and report to Li Shan.
On the other side, someone had already reported the news to the camp. When Li Shan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He let these Han people dock, who would have thought that they would have caused such a big deal?
