Love brother, love sister
In the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, from a tall building in Jincheng City, heart-stirring tunes were constantly heard. On the bustling and busy streets, people come and go in a hurry.
On the flat cement road, trucks pulled by two horses would speed by from time to time. People come in and out of the cement and wooden shops on both sides of the street.
At this time, the prosperity of Jincheng was no less than that of the capital, the heart of the Ming Dynasty.
Once upon a time, just over a year or two ago, Jincheng was still a very run-down place. Not to mention a city, it is just a place name.
At that time, when Zhao Hongyu led the Imperial Army here, Jincheng only had a small village with a dozen households. And the surrounding area is very desolate. Maybe because of the war, people have fled away from home.
But on such a foundation of nothing, Zhao Hongyu built a large city in just over a year, and it developed very prosperously.
Today¡¯s Jincheng is not what it used to be.
Because of the establishment of Jincheng, Zhao Hongyu led the Imperial Army, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers transferred from Kyushu to fight against the Jurchens, and defeated the Jurchens one after another, so-called stabilizing the situation around Jincheng.
Furthermore, a cement-structured city wall was built here in Jincheng to provide people with a safety guarantee.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu regarded Jincheng as a stronghold and started business here. For a time, the goods obtained by Zhao Hongyu spread from Jincheng to the surrounding areas, attracting many merchants.
Even the caravans from Mongolia on the grassland will secretly come to Jincheng to shop.
Although the existence of Jincheng is not as good for the Jurchens who are almost two hundred miles away. It is a very huge threat.
But the problem is that the Jurchens simply cannot solve this threat.
It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t do it, it¡¯s that they simply can¡¯t do it.
Fighting and fighting, in addition to paying huge casualties as a price, they did not even hurt Zhao Hongyu's hair. On the contrary, their side suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, after a fierce battle between Jincheng and the Jurchens, a strange period of peace actually appeared.
This ensures the development of Jincheng and Zhao Hongyu's expansion of influence and trade.
??Here in Jincheng, everyone who comes here. Everyone was amazed at Jincheng.
The cement structure houses, which are very different from the Ming Dynasty architectural style, have flat, clean and wide streets. There are still the groups of Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets, as well as the Imperial Army soldiers and the strange costumes of the Japanese soldiers.
It makes people who have been to Jincheng unforgettable even after a long time.
Especially here in Jincheng, there are a wide variety of commodities, as well as a large amount of affordable refined salt and grain for sale. Therefore, this greatly attracted the enthusiasm of those businessmen.
Not to mention anything else, just the grain, refined salt and high-purity liquor are worth the risk for them to come to Jincheng to do business.
Not to mention. The Jurchens simply cannot do anything to the Jincheng forces, so there is no problem with their safety.
With this kind of guarantee, the businessmen would of course pounce on Jincheng like a dog seeing the smell of fragrant shit. You can't drive them away even if you want to.
With the arrival of these businessmen, the prosperity of Jincheng has been greatly improved. At the same time, due to the increase in population, the number of merchants who have begun to buy shops and prepare to do business here for a long time has also greatly increased.
There is a population. Then various services and businesses will appear.
But what Zhao Hongyu never expected was that the first one to open here in Jincheng was actually a brothel!
Yes. One of the earliest industries here in Jincheng was a place called Chunlai Building. The owner of this place is from Nanjing and is a very discerning guy.
Originally, he went to the capital to find friends to reminisce about old times, but when he was in the capital, he heard his friends talk about Jincheng, and he suddenly became interested.
Therefore, he followed the caravan from Jincheng to Jincheng and came to this emerging city.
As soon as he arrived in Jincheng, he discovered that there were huge business opportunities here.
Of course, this guy¡¯s so-called business opportunity is not a serious business.
It is the flesh and blood business that he is most familiar with.
Because the number of merchants coming and going in Jincheng is increasing day by day, and the number of merchants in Jincheng is increasing,There was a huge group of people working here, so he saw unprecedented business opportunities.
At the beginning of the construction of Jincheng, because a large amount of labor was needed, all the people hired were young and strong men.
Therefore, this has caused the phenomenon of excessive yang energy in Jincheng, that is, there are many men, but there are not many women.
After all, Jincheng is very close to Shengjing in Houjin, only more than 200 miles away. Coupled with the frequent invasions of Hou Jin in recent years, the Ming court's army was simply unable to resist.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has already lost some territory on the northern border.
Therefore, Jincheng is a very dangerous place.
But now everything has changed, because the Ming court had an agreement with Zhao Hongyu and loaned a large sum of money from Zhao Hongyu.
Therefore, Jincheng became the place where Zhao Hongyu, the Song Empire, lived.
So, of course Zhao Hongyu will station troops here to protect his own interests.
And after a series of battles with the Hou Jin army, the Hou Jin army was defeated. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hou Jin Army cannot defeat these compatriots from distant Americas.
Then, people became less concerned about the danger in Jincheng.
¡°Through such efforts and facts, Zhao Hongyu also proved his strength and his ability to protect the personal safety of Jincheng merchants and residents.
Therefore, gradually the number of permanent residents and passing merchants in Jincheng gradually increased.
¡° Moreover, the number of merchants occupied is quite large.
¡°These people have money and leisure. They come to Jincheng to do business. They cannot always be so busy.
" Moreover, here in Jincheng, they have indeed made a lot of money, and they are considered rich.
So. People who have money will definitely spend money.
There are pubs and restaurants in Jincheng, but these wealthy people can do more than just drink and eat.
As the saying goes, people who are full and warm want to have lust, so when they are bored, they also want to have some fun.
Not only the merchants have this need, but also the young men who sold their labor and were hired by Zhao Hongyu in Jincheng also need such an outlet.
after all. Zhao Hongyu will not deduct wages, and the wages are still very high.
Therefore, even those workers engaged in construction have plenty of money.
Such a huge male group is a huge business opportunity.
There is no need to do everyone¡¯s business, just the merchants in Jincheng are enough to make a lot of money.
Therefore, ¡®Chunlailou¡¯ quickly appeared. A group of soft girls from the south of the Yangtze River came to this emerging city in northern Xinjiang. It brings an aura of lust to the men here.
As expected, business has been booming since Chunlailou opened.
Those businessmen who have made a lot of money in Jincheng will basically come to Chunlai Tower to spend a lot of money. But it made the boss smile so hard that his head went to the back of his head.
There is a Ming army of more than 3,000 people stationed here in Jincheng, mainly to assist Zhao Hongyu in the garrison.
This Ming army here in Jincheng is actually just a soy sauce character. Here in Jincheng, they basically have to follow Zhao Hongyu's arrangements.
It can be said. This was Zhu Shangwu, an unreliable emperor. He felt a little guilty because he felt that he had wronged Zhao Hongyu, who lent him a lot of money. So he sent such a Ming army to Zhao Hongyu for command, which was a little bit of kindness.
After all, Zhu Shangwu also knew at that time that Jincheng was very dangerous.
By using this place as a mortgage for a loan, Zhao Hongyu actually suffered a bit.
At the same time, this Ming army also has a mission, which is to follow the Song Empire's army to learn to use new tactics and operate new muskets.
You must know that the scene when Zhao Hongyu led the Imperial Army to fight in Beijing and defeated Hou Jin was a scene that Zhu Shangwu yearned for very much.
In his opinion, as long as he learns this kind of tactics and equips the Ming army with such sharp muskets, is there any need to worry about the financial backing?
Therefore, this Ming army followed Zhao Hongyu to Jincheng.
And, he also participated in several battles against Hou Jin.
This army of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty received double pay from top to bottom.
One of them came from the Ming Dynasty court, but this salary was sometimes paid and sometimes not, so it was impossible to count on it.
The other part is the salary that Zhao Hongyu sent to them.
This salary is incredible. Sixty taels of silver a month is three times the imperial salary. Not to mention, he still has to take care of three meals a day, including meat.
?????????????????????????????? The officers did not withhold their pay and paid it truthfully to the soldiers.
At the same time, there are some benefits during holidays or occasionally.
Days like this make them feel like they are dreaming.
Therefore, from top to bottom, this Ming army can be regarded as a group with spare money.
Soldiers, if they have spare money, they either gamble or go whoring. The big soldiers in this era are not modern soldiers. There are so many rules.
They can¡¯t go to high-end places like Chunlai Building, but since the Chunlai Building was established in Jincheng, there have been more and more women doing business in the flesh.
¡°Some half-open doors, or some prostitutes, etc., are all popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Furthermore, there are also some low-level ¡®entertainment venues¡¯ that have also appeared in Jincheng.
Zhao Hongyu has no plans to stop these things.
After all, these men in Jincheng really need such a place, otherwise a group of men would go crazy.
At the same time, because there are as many as 40,000 Kyushu Japanese soldiers under his command, they need the comfort of women, otherwise who knows what bad things they will do.
It¡¯s just that these Kyushu Japanese soldiers couldn¡¯t go to brothels and have close contact with the women of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they had money, it wouldn't work, so Zhao Hongyu got a group of Japanese girls from Kyushu to do business with these Japanese soldiers, and at the same time help Rang Amen solve his physical problems.
¡° Moreover, while doing business with Japanese soldiers, these girls from Kyushu will also serve the men of Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a double income.
I have to say that the weird things that Zhao Hongyu has developed here in Jincheng are really a bit dumbfounding.
As the supreme leader of Jincheng, he is also the local overlord here.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu will also go to Chunlai Tower to see things, and he also met several historical celebrities in Chunlai Tower.
"It's just that Zhao Hongyu is not a person who thinks about things with his crotch, let alone being unable to walk when he sees a woman, so he was just surprised and didn't have anything to do with her.
And now the development of Jincheng has stabilized. Basically, as long as we follow the steps, there will be no problems.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu set his sights on Hou Jin again.
In the inner city of Jincheng, in the palace of the city lord, a secretary under Zhao Hongyu hurriedly opened the door of his office and walked in. As soon as he entered, he straightened his body and said loudly: "Your Highness, Jiuzhou has received a message from the mainland. Letters, letters are level ten" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
