Korea and Japan, these two countries, which are considered to be in the circle of Chinese influence, and some of them have also become vassal states of China, and have always been neighbors of the Central Dynasty, and have a very important position in Chinese history.

These two countries, Zhao Xin knew from the beginning, and even took advantage of them, landed near Kaesong in Korea and Kyoto in Japan in order to gain population at the time of the development of the Dinghai Navy.

These two countries cannot be regarded as having been peaceful for a long time, but it is the first time they have suffered such a blow, and suddenly, they entered the hinterland of the dynasty, facing the capital, and the combat effectiveness of the navy is not ordinarily strong, and the two countries were defeated at once, not only suffered heavy losses, but even the capital was captured.

The Dinghai Navy mobilized heavy troops, a big war, directly captured the national capitals of the two countries, not only obtained a lot of wealth, no matter how small the country, it is also a country, decades, hundreds of years, or even longer inheritance, there are many treasures alone.

The treasures of Korea and Japan, in the eyes of the Dinghai Navy, are nothing, these barbarian things, can not enter Zhao Xin's eyes at all, even if it is their so-called heavy treasure, but for some precious metals such as gold and silver, it is very important, the Dinghai currency of the Dinghai Navy, is based on gold and silver, the more gold and silver, for them, the more stable the finances.

Gold and silver, since ancient times, are important precious metals, initially because of the limited level of mining, there are fewer natural metals such as doghead gold and natural silver, to a certain extent, primitive and slave societies, there is a certain period of use of shells or other as general equivalents.

But with the gradual casting of bronze and the gradual improvement of human metallurgy, many countries and forces have also developed gold and silver on a large scale.

The northern mountainous areas of North Korea and the Iwami Silver Mountain in Japan are all deposits of precious metals, and the three expensive metals of gold, silver and copper are basically the main body of the search, and by the way, some cultural relics of the two countries with a long history and a certain influence are also among them.

In addition to these possessions, a large number of people were also captured, almost a million people. These populations have become an important supplement to the Dinghai Navy, and some of them have been integrated into the production and life of the Dinghai Navy and have become the official residents of the Dingjun.

Whether it is North Korea or Japan, compared with Liao, it is very poor, if Zhao Xin wanted to take them at that time, it would be very easy, their national strength is relatively small, and they have just been captured the national capital.

But no matter how small it is, after all, it is two countries, and the population is relatively large, it is not easy to completely occupy it, it takes a lot of time, and it also takes time to integrate the population into it, this time may be a year or two, or a few years.

On the road of determining the development of the navy, at least these countries in East Asia are to be conquered, but the order is different, the strategy of the navy is for the territory on land, only with a huge territory on land, the whole country can be considered stable, even if it is a country that can be attacked in a moment, for the sake of strategic goals, these two countries can only be put aside.

Attacking Liao, raising personnel, there is no attack, just to ensure the safety of a few strongholds under control, in order to determine the strength of the navy, as long as in the location of the port, establish a part of the fortress, protect the port, plus a part of the battleship, it is enough to protect their safety, even if the two countries come to attack with the strength of the country, don't think about taking this stronghold of the Dinghai navy.

At that time, I was holding, nailing a nail, turning around and pulling out my hand to say, of course, the overall layout is also very perfect, from the defense, has been done to the extreme.

The most suitable area as a port, expanded into a port, on the high mountains on both sides, a series of forts have been established, on the plains, there is a series of fortresses, almost dozens of square kilometers of the surrounding area, are included, such a three-dimensional protection, even if it is the same level as the navy, the use of thermal weapons and warships to attack, it is difficult to take down, not to mention, Japan and North Korea, which are still in a lower position.

The location of the naval landing is the key hinterland of the two countries, the location is very critical, it is definitely very uncomfortable for them, although they captured the national capital, but they quickly withdrew, leaving only a port, in the eyes of this era, this is has retreated, they must pull out this nail, for this reason, the two countries organized several attacks, but each time in vain.

From the very beginning, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, to the back of the country's strength, the weapon gap, plus the terrible fortress, this thing is not something that can be broken by manpower, and in the port of the Dinghai Navy, there are also a few battleships.

For the attack of Liao, after occupying the territory in the north and the islands of Huludao, in fact, the power of the sea can play a relatively small role.

No matter how powerful the battleship is, it has 500 terrible artillery fire, under the fixed metal fixed ammunition of the navy, it can achieve artillery fire washing in this era, whether it is a dense camp, or strong protection, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, these are flesh and blood power, these are facing iron and fire artillery, there is no way to resist.

With them, even in the face of the army with thermal weapons, it is quite stable, under the premise that the range of the battleship guns cannot be exceeded, and on the premise that there is no effective attack battery, it is almost impossible to solve the problem of conquering this fortress, and he can't even close this logistical supply.

A fortress full of endless logistics, with powerful artillery and muskets, it is impossible for these soldiers to take this stronghold by relying solely on cold weapons.

It is a pity that these two strongholds, which are placed in the key places of Japan and Korea, must be taken unless Kyoto and the core area are relocated.

One side occupied a strong stronghold, and the other side had to take it, and their frenzied attacks not only did not gain results, but suffered heavy losses and lost a large amount of living force.

This is also something that no one expected, at that time it was just a step back, to keep this stronghold, to free up his hands to turn back, and to lay the foundation for continuing the offensive, who knows, but there is such an unexpected gain, under the premise that the Liao State has taken it, the two countries have been weakened to a considerable extent.

Under this circumstance, the Dinghai Navy went down to Liao at this stage, not only did its strength improve a lot, but the core area was very close to the two countries, and there was no problem in taking these two countries.

At the same time as the large-scale development of Shenyang, and on the premise of gradual stability in all parts of the entire Liao State, there is no need to station so many troops, and the Dinghai Navy can draw out a certain number of troops.

After stabilizing the Liao State, the Dinghai Navy increased its troops to Korea and Japan respectively, with 50,000 troops each, and went to sea on the Huludao side to directly attack Korea and Japan.

Huludao is only a sea away from North Korea, and after bypassing the Liaodong Peninsula, it will face North Korea, and Japan will also arrive after crossing Jeju Island and Maguan.

Of the 50,000 people, 20,000 are the real elite, the soldiers of a hundred battles, not only well-equipped, but also resolute-willed.

There are also 30,000, which is somewhat interesting, 10,000 are supplementary troops, and the remaining 20,000 are urgently selected from Japanese and Korean immigrants, and it is not an exaggeration to call them Japanese and Korean traitors.

These people, who were taken captive between the two countries, immediately turned into two devils after seeing the strength of the Dinghai Navy, and depended on the strong, which is itself the common nature of human beings, not to mention, in feudal society, this era when the concept of a family and a country and a nation has not yet been formed.

This approach is really a stroke of genius, with these leading parties and those who are familiar with the local situation, coupled with superhuman force, it took almost not much time to lay the current territory.

The first batch of transfers was not much, only about 50,000, but the 50,000 Ding Navy, which was armed to the teeth, was of course overwhelmed in the face of the armies of the two countries, which were mainly cold weapons and were not even as good as the Liao army.

North Korea is centered on Kaesong and Pyongyang, at least 15 important cities have been conquered, at least 4 states have been established as the actual control of the navy, Japan is similar, the entire Honshu, only scattered remote places, most of the others have been conquered.

Even such a powerful country as the Liao State, a country with a vast territory and strong combat effectiveness, was so easily broken and completely taken down, and the entire battle to destroy Liao was a very short time, more than half a month, and it had already reached the cities of Zhongjing and Tokyo, and the battle could be resolved in a month.

It stands to reason that Japan and North Korea, compared to Liao, don't know how much weaker, it should be easier to take, but in reality, it is not so easy.

The reason is very simple, the number of the army, even if the navy faces the Liao State, how much advantage it occupies, but how long it has been prepared, starting from Vladivostok, almost a whole year, the forces used in the Liao operation are also very large, almost divided into three roads, from south to north, almost one down, using terrible manpower, plus the Liao State has been weakened a lot, whether it is the population, or the structure, this has created this brilliance.

Japan and Korea were different, although the capital was conquered and the whole system was severely damaged, but it was only the central system, and later lost a large number of troops, but the local structure was only weakened, not completely destroyed.

These two complete countries are also very populous, not to mention the vast territory, the north of Korea is mountainous, and Japan is an island country, so it is not easy to occupy it.

It is easy to destroy a country, and it is enough to destroy most of the living forces, but to occupy it completely, and to ensure the maximum of human resources without major losses, as is the case with the Dinghai Navy.

After conquering the current territory, the Dinghai Navy definitely had spare strength, but it took the initiative to stop, slowly consolidating and dominating this territory, and at the same time, carrying out diplomatic means.

Under the strong pressure of power, if the pressure is excessive, it may trigger a backlash, although North Korea and Japan, there are still millions of people left, these people are not many, but the Ding Navy is not willing to give up, the Chinese nation is relatively strong in integration, under the premise that the Song people have a base of 100 million, the integration of two subject countries deeply influenced by the central dynasty, this should not be a problem.

In order to ensure security, after all, the Dinghai Navy has just been established, that is, it has trained a small number of diplomats, and it is already good to be able to send some of them to two countries, and they will engage in relatively high-end tasks, such as determining the steps of diplomacy and establishing diplomatic methods.

Fortunately, there are a large number of leading parties and tens of thousands of servants, and their role on the battlefield is very limited, after all, they have not joined the Dinghai Navy for a short time, and their discipline in all aspects has not been fully cultivated, and it is impossible for the Dinghai Navy to fully trust them, nor can they give them enough weapons and training.

However, these natives are not only good at leading the way, but also good at helping them in diplomacy.

These people, on the premise that they have defected to the Dinghai Navy, want to behave in front of the Dinghai Navy, then betraying their original country is the best choice, and at the same time, they are deeply aware of some of the situations in their own country, and after the diplomats have laid out the strategy, they will implement it in accordance with this strategy.

The cat has a cat path, the mouse has a mouse path, the establishment of the navy from the beginning, salary, is also a basic principle, whether the black cat or the white cat, catch the mouse is a good cat, it looks a little vulgar, and even the method of overwhelming people with power, in the hands of the right people, it really saw the effect.

Under the coordination of diplomats and the infiltration of these leading parties, of course, there is also a foundation, which is to determine the combat effectiveness of the navy.

One attack, the capture of Kyoto, the second attack, occupied all the Beijing-Hebei region, the third attack, the coalition of several local officials, was also destroyed, three attacks, almost all of them neutralized the will of these people to resist, plus the diplomats threaded the needle, things seem to be successful.

The attack power and combat effectiveness of the Dinghai Navy are beyond imagination, plus the Liao State has been occupied, even if he has not ascended the throne and become the emperor, the influence of the actual controller is also very large, and most of the local regimes in Korea and Japan have already made some changes, as long as the next wave of reinforcements arrives and has more than 100,000 troops, it is certain to take these places.

Sun Yuexi is in charge of diplomatic contacts with the Northern Song Dynasty this time, and for the diplomacy of Japan and North Korea, another vice minister is in charge, but as a high-level of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is very clear about the progress made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in these two countries, and the existence time of these two countries is a countdown, how can it be invited.

Sun Yuexi told the two people straight to the point that the two countries were about to perish and would soon be merged into the Dinghai Navy, and then in the surprised eyes of the two people, they found their place and sat down.
