Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The cold wind blew on the face, making people unable to feel the pain anymore.

numbness!

As long as I stood in the wild for a short time, my whole body would feel numb.

Even the muscles on his face seemed to be frozen.

The stone scripture building of Yongning Temple stands on the seaside.

The roaring sea breeze blew the copper bells on the eaves of the stone scripture building.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

On the cliffs, the stone pillars guarding the entrance to the sea are like proud soldiers, facing the harsh environment that is unbearable for ordinary people, guarding the country left by their ancestors.

The waves crashed against the rocks, lifting up bursts of white flowers.

Under the severe cold, the waves that had just splashed turned into ice crystals almost instantly and hung on the cliff.

The uncanny workmanship of nature has left a series of miraculous ice sculptures on the cliffs.

Nuergan is a treasure place.

In her south, in Liaodong, when winter comes, water drops turn into ice.

But where Nuer Gandusi is located, it is a port that does not freeze all year round.

Don't look at her further north...

The fresh water flowing down the river floats towards the ocean with half-solidified ice cream-like ice foam.

Even ice floes have condensed on both sides of the cliff.

In this cold season, when I want to go out to poop, I have to bring a stick with me.

A fleet of boats has just arrived at the estuary.

On the bow of the ship, the huge Ming Dynasty's new sun and moon flag, with the triangular flag with the word "Zheng" in it, was fluttering in the wind.

There are even ice crystals under the tassels decorated on the flag.

"I'm coming!"

On a simple dock formed by nailing a log into the bottom of the river, Gong Yonggu looked as cheerful as a child with ice crystals on his beard.

He doesn't have the nobility of the Ming Dynasty Prince Consort at all.

"Oh!"

The bow of the boat hit the dock, and the dock made of whole logs swayed for a while.

It was this collision that caused the ship to slowly turn around and run parallel to the dock.

"Hurry up, hold on tight!"

The soldiers on the bow shouted and threw the thin linen rope onto the dock.

The soldiers around Gong Yonggu hurriedly grasped the curses and started to pull away.

The hemp rope tied with a thick arm cable was dragged to the dock by the soldiers shouting slogans, and then wrapped around the cable pile.

The soldiers on the ship also pulled the cables and pulled the ship close to the dock.

Several wooden planks were placed between the ship's side and the pier.

"Prince-in-law, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

With a smile on his face, Zheng Hongkui immediately stepped onto the swaying springboard and onto the pier.

He bent slightly and bowed to Gong Yonggu.

"On such a cold day, I bothered Brother Zheng to make a special trip. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zheng!"

Gong Yonggu also hurriedly nodded and bent down to return the gift to Zheng Hongkui.

"Let's go to Dusi Yamen!"

Gong Yonggu took Zheng Hongkui's hand and greeted him repeatedly.

"Haha, okay, it's really cold outside!"

Zheng Hongkui turned around and gave some instructions, asking his men to seize the time to unload the goods, while he and Gong Yonggu headed to Nuer Gandu Si Yamen.

"Brother Gong, I'm really sorry. I had planned the date and wanted to deliver the supplies to you before New Year's Eve.

Who knew that there was a headwind on the Ezo side, making it impossible to set off. "

Zheng Hongkui smiled and explained why he was late.

After he went to Ezo, he did not immediately expel the "Matsumae" family that had invaded Ezo's territory.

Zheng Hongkui arrived under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and Queen Ezo, who was a vassal under the control of Nuergan of the Ming Dynasty, immediately went to pay homage.

Zheng Hongkui only gave away some worthless porcelain and cloth, and gained the favor of Queen Ezo.

From this moment on, Zheng Hongkui had the right to legally build a city on Ezo Island.

Zheng Hongkui first built a settlement and then attracted more than 1 people.

With a firm footing, he drove the Matsumae family into the sea with just one attack.

Afterwards, he immediately sent people north to Nuergan to contact Gong Yonggu and others.

At this time, Gong Yonggu and others had not experienced the cold in the north, so the winter supplies they had prepared could no longer last until the heavy snow melted next year.

This is the reason for the arrival of Zheng Hongkui's fleet this time.

……

Gong Yonggu laughed:

“No one can control this God’s business.

I have been working in Nuer for more than half a year, and I have completely understood this truth.

Brother Zheng was able to brave the severe cold to come, and younger brother Gong was already grateful. How could he dare to ask for more? "

The two chatted and laughed for a while before arriving at Nuergandusi Yamen.

Nu'ergandusi Yamen is not as big as the Yamen in the mainland.

Every room is much smaller in size.

The only thing that surpasses the Mainland Yamen is the wall.

The walls of Nuergandusi Yamen are two feet thick.

As a result, the already small room appears even narrower.

Even the windows were rarely opened.

All of this is to prepare for warmth.

The earthen kang in the yamen was burning brightly.

The room connected by the flue is as warm as spring.

Even the heat was a bit pungent.

From the wilderness, where dripping water turned into ice, to the warm indoors, Zheng Hongkui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Gong Yonggu took off his wolfskin coat and the cotton-padded jacket underneath.

Then he asked Zheng Hongkui to take off his cotton-padded clothes.

He sat on the side and took off the big boots that were one and a half feet long...

The moment Zheng Hongkui handed the clothes to the maid, he turned around and was shocked.

"Gong, Brother Gong...

You, you actually wore two pairs of shoes? "

After Gong Yonggu took off his huge boots, there was actually a pair of cotton shoes inside.

"Ha ha!"

Gong Yonggu laughed:

“Brother Zheng doesn’t know that the winter here is really too cold.

Whenever you go out, you must wear two pairs of shoes.

Otherwise, once the cotton shoes get wet, someone will die! "

Gong Yonggu said as he took off the other big boot.

Then, he casually reached into his big boot and took out a ball of hay:

"Brother Zheng, look, this is called urala grass.

We also need to stuff this hay inside the shoes.

This thing, even if the snow and ice melt on the soles and the boots get wet, they will not get the cotton shoes wet. "

Zheng Hongkui's eyes widened.

Sure enough, there is knowledge everywhere in life!

……

Zheng Hongkui talked about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty for a while.

When Gong Yonggu learned that the emperor and Li Zicheng had achieved a great victory in Yao'er Dusi, wiping out 25 people, his tears could not stop rolling down.

When he learned that before Zheng Hongkui rushed to Ezo, His Majesty specially told him to search for him, Gong Yonggu burst into tears.

Zheng Hongkui was also very sad.

He also learned about Ao'er Dusi's great victory from his own messenger.

To be honest, he really didn't expect this result.

The two of them sighed for a while, and Zheng Hongkui said:

“Brother Gong, time is too tight, I don’t have time to return to Handu to help you collect supplies.

These dozen boats were all collected by me in Ezo.

I haven't prepared many things, so you can use them temporarily and I will bring them to you when I get back.

Do you think this is good? "
