The North Koreans call Phi Island Pyongdo, which is at the mouth of the Yalu River, just across the water from Uiju in North Korea. Guanghaijun and Zheng Renhong don't know why the envoy of the Ming Dynasty pointed out that he wanted Pingdao, and called this island Phi Dao, but as long as they can send people away quickly, whether it is Phi Dao or Ping Dao, they will give it. Anyway, if you don't write down, there will always be a chance to return in the future.

The envoy of the Ming Dynasty is just a slave of the Son of Heaven, who is close to the ministers, how can he be glorious for a lifetime? I don't see the Wang Zhi back then, the male soldiers swept the holes, and the sea was shocked, and in the end, it was not a few years of scenery.

Moreover, this Phi Island is not a great place, the area of the island is actually not large, about 80 miles across, and there are only more than 20,000 inhabitants on the island, of which Han people account for 78 out of ten, and Koreans are only 23 out of ten. Therefore, although Phi Dao nominally belongs to Korea, in fact the Han people on the island are semi-"independent" and are not controlled by the Korean government.

Therefore, it does not make much difference to North Korea whether to give or not to give. Moreover, this Phi Island is really a transit place for merchants.

The people on the island, whether Han Chinese or Koreans, do not make a living by fishing or farming, but only sell goods.

Most of these goods are ginseng, cloth, Liaodong and Korean specialties.

Characterizing the concept of my father-in-law's past life, Phi Dao is a spontaneous logistics center in Northeast Asia.

At the beginning of the rise of the Houjin, the value of the Phi Island was also reflected in this area, and with the rise of the Houjin, its strategic position was highlighted.

But without Mao Wenlong, Phi Island is still Phi Island and will not become Dongjiang Town.

In his father-in-law's previous life, Mao Wenlong used Phi Dao, Tieshan and Kuanshan District as bases to recruit refugees from Liaodong, and used the old and weak to grow and the strong as soldiers, starting from scratch and gradually developing into an overseas powerhouse. In the second year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court officially appointed Mao Wenlong as the commander-in-chief of the Pingliao general, hung the seal of the former general, and opened the Dongjiang River, thus becoming an important military region behind the enemy in Houjin.

After the establishment of Dongjiang Town, he appeased the people of Liaodong who were displaced by the war, and helped and resettled more than one million people. On the one hand, he sent generals out in all directions, constantly penetrating into the hinterland of the Houjin, eliminating the living force of the Houjin army, and gradually becoming a major problem for the Houjin henchmen.

Houjin said: "Mao Wenlong's trouble, kill your ears as soon as possible!" If Wenlong is not extinguished for a day, the treachery will not stop for a day, and the good people will not be restless for a day. ”

Gonggong Wei wanted Phi Island because Liangyizhou, Yongbyon and Jingcheng were too close to Jianzhou, and if Jianzhou rebelled, under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, these places might not be able to stop it.

Therefore, it is inevitable to hold Phi Dao in our hands and use it as a logistics base for food, supplies, and ordnance goods. In this way, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the support point of the Korean Peninsula and Jianju will be lost without fear of losing the war.

Jiang Fangyin once asked his father-in-law why he had to come to Phi Dao from the Koreans, and he said: "Calculating danger and misfortune is far and near, and the way of the general." Phi Island is close to the river with the risk of Yalu, and I have it. If one day, Jianzhou betrays my Ming Dynasty, then this island will be like poison between Jianzhou's elbows and armpits, and if Jianzhou moves, it will be poisonous... He has no water army, and the poison of this island will not be removed, and then with the cooperation of the two states on land, in time, he will be able to use it as an important town to destroy slaves! ”

Jiang Fangyin couldn't help but be puzzled by this answer.

He has been with Yang Hao for nearly 20 years, has participated in the Korean War, and as an important staff member of Yang Hao, he is also clear about the situation in Liaodong, so he also knows the danger of establishing a state. However, it seems a bit sensational to assert that Gonggong Wei asserted that the establishment of the state would be opposed and would pose a threat to Liaodong and even the entire Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

I think that Jianzhou is only hundreds of thousands of people, even if all the people are soldiers, there are only tens of thousands of elite cavalry available, and my Ming Dynasty has nearly 60,000 soldiers in Liaodong Town, how can it be invincible.

Liaodong will be defeated, and there will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my pass, how can we let it establish a state and become a scourge of the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, the father-in-law did not explain much.

Just like the reaction of the people in the capital when he met Amin and his entourage in Beijing, at this time, Jianzhou was in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few people of insight, most of them were the objects of "unity".

Don't you see that the new Liaofu Zhang Tao and Master Zhang are trying their best to implement the policy of "higher class".

The Han people on Phi Dao account for the majority, so naturally there will be no resistance, and the North Korean side is in place, so the reception of Phi Dao is very smooth.

In order to make Phi Dao an important place in the future, it is necessary to let people govern things.

The head of the appointing government is in the garrison.

The father-in-law ordered more than 500 officers and soldiers of the Ming Emperor to be pro-armed, and more than 1,500 Han people, more than 400 Mongols, 1,200 Jurchen soldiers, and more than 800 Korean activists, totaling 4,500 officers and soldiers to form the Phidao brigade, equipped with more than 700 firearms, 35 artillery, more than 500 armor, bows and arrows, swords and spears.

The post of brigade commander was taken over by Taro Higashimura, and the four brigades under him were accompanied by adjutants, the former Jianzhou Shiguan Zhengbaiqi, and four people, including Dayinbu, Fei Gulun, Niu Zhu, and Hu Lihai.

After the establishment of the Phi Dao Brigade, it echoed with the special detachment stationed in Yongbyon, and if there was something in Yongbyon, Phi Dao would go to help; If there is something wrong with Phi Dao, Ningbian will come to the rescue.

In addition, the Yizhou He Shiyi Department formed a triangular trend, and there was still a Xie'an army to mobilize in it, and if Jianzhou did not attack in a big way, it would have more than enough to protect itself.

Only that He Shiyi is a little unstable, his younger brother He Shixian is a Shenyang general, Yizhou Wei is under the control of the governor of Liaodong, Wei Gonggong can still personally make the bullet pressure in Yizhou, so that he does not dare to have different intentions, if he leaves Yizhou, I am afraid that He Shixian will not be obedient.

The father-in-law had considered writing to the emperor and directly annexing the He Shiyi Department to the Ming Emperor's army, but he considered that this move would definitely be opposed by the governor of Liaodong and the court, so he gave up.

When leaving, he gave Nahe Shiyi 5,000 taels of silver, and sent Yizhou Wei Danfan to participate in the northbound Kuandian officers ranging from 100 taels to 1,000 taels, and officers and soldiers also had them.

I hope to envelop them with money, and I don't ask them to obey orders, but I ask them to add to the chaos.

In fact, my father-in-law did this too much.

On the one hand, Jianzhou vigorously put pressure on the governor of Liaodong Yamen because of the matter of Kuandian's Six Forts, and on the other hand, Yizhou's guards and border people have gained some benefits from Kuandian Liubao, which will be that He Shixian is willing to spit it out, but he is afraid that his subordinates will not either. Moreover, the Jianzhou side said that he wanted to take the head of the person commanded by him, how could he He Shiyi dare to turn his face with the emperor's relatives and ministers at this time, and he also pointed to the Duke of Wei to say more good things for him in front of the emperor after returning to Beijing.

It was decided that Taro Higashimura would guard Phi Island, Hu Quan would guard the border, and Ding Xiaogong would be left with the three generals brought by his father-in-law to the north. And most of the soldiers brought by the north also stayed, which obviously did not conform to the original intention of the father-in-law to expand the army in the south, so the father-in-law ordered that all the Han people and Jurchens brought back from Kuandian be placed on Phi Island, and more than 4,000 of them were selected and sent to Jinzhou, and then transported to Jiangnan by sea.

The father-in-law specially ordered the strong family members to stay on Phi Island, no matter what nationality.

The relocation of such a large number of people to Phi Dao took a long time and required a large amount of food to settle. Therefore, the father-in-law still needs to be appointed as a civilian official on Phi Island, after all, the guy in the East Village can manage the army, but he can't govern the people.

In the end, this heavy responsibility can only be shouldered by Jiang Fangyin.
