Chapter 662: It's Time to Collect Interest
(I wish you all a happy new year and good luck)
(Thanks to the book friends all the way to the pole, the code name rises and others for their tips)
"According to current statistics, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty lost more than 200,000 taels of silver and more than 30 people were killed or injured in the process of banning the goods of our starting city by the shogunate.
The Ming merchants, who had a large trade relationship with the starting point, had close ties with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, so the ban in Japan was quickly fed back.
In addition, the Military Investigation Bureau also has a lot of intelligence personnel in Japan, and relevant information is also sent back.
After listening to Gu Xiuquan's intelligence summary, Wang Yue said with a smile: "It seems that Tokugawa Iemitsu has become a mad dog, so many goods are said to be burned, isn't it good to keep them?"
All the officers present laughed, and Li Zixiong said: "The commander's treaty is crazy for everyone." ”
"Then let's get started, it's time to charge some interest to the Wa Kingdom." Wang Yue said: "Inform Matsuura Jiuxin and Amakusa Shizhen that it is time for us to meet." ”
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, 1640 A.D., on February 15, the Lantern Festival has passed for a period of time, and Jeju Island, located in the Korean Strait, is still very low, but the originally relatively quiet island is lively.
Since the New Year, warships of the Cheonce Navy's fleet have been gathering on Jeju Island, and motorized cargo ships carrying supplies have come and gone, most of which travel between the port of Incheon and Jeju Island.
In this crusade against the shogunate, the naval fleet of the Tiance Army dispatched a total of two dock landing ships, four coast guard warships, two supply ships, four maritime surveillance warships, eight passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, and 20 mobile cargo ships.
Choshu's army, Satsuma's navy, this is what Japan said after the Meiji Restoration. During the shogunate period, Japan played a policy of seclusion and seclusion, and in terms of the degree of madness, it was not at all inferior to "I Daqing".
Therefore, Japan's naval strength is much weaker than that of the Ming Dynasty, so the scale of naval battles will not be too large.
Japan's current military foundation is left over from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, so although Japan is small, it is now a relatively strong military country, only from the history of the shogunate's conquest of Amakusa Tokitada's righteous army, mobilized 113,000 troops, it can be seen that the shogunate wants to requisition 200,000 troops, the problem should not be big.
This is also the main reason why the rebel armies of the rebels of the Righteous Army and Matsuura Kyushin fought for two or three years and failed to deal with the shogunate, of course, the main reason is Wang Yue's policy of checks and balances.
The shogunate was a self-contained, feudal, and decadent regime. There are nearly 200 daimyo in Japan today, and the daimyo are princes, so Japan is actually a federal state.
Of course, Wang Yue didn't want to see either the rebels or Matsuura Kyushin unify Japan, which was not in line with his established strategy for Japan, so these two were just his thugs who consumed Japan, and if they really had signs of unifying Japan, they would have to shoot it too.
Therefore, the army that sent troops to Japan this time included the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Brigades of the Tiance Army, the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Brigades of the Public Security Army, and 27,000 troops.
Due to the continuous increase in the output of the starting point city arsenal, the production of Type 56 submachine guns has also continued to increase, and the output of ammunition can also keep up, at present, all 20 brigades of the Security Force will be replaced with Type 56 submachine guns (38-style weapons), that is, these 20 brigades will become A-brigades.
As the 1st to 20th Brigades of the Public Security Army are about to complete their rearmament, the Public Security Army will be expanded into 40 brigades, and the 21st to 40th Brigades will be divided into B brigades to carry out local security work.
At present, the largest unit in the Tiance Army is still the brigade, and with the effectiveness of the Tiance Army's weapons, a brigade of 3,000 people can deal with most emergencies.
The number of troops dispatched to Japan this time reached 27,000, one was to test the coordination ability of the Tiance Army's large-scale cross-sea operations and large corps operations, and the other was to prevent the younger brother from turning against the water.
This little brother refers to the righteous army of Amakusa Shizhen, this group of crazy believers is not a common sense, and the current Amakusa Shizhen righteous army has grown to more than 500,000 people, a huge army composed of men and women.
Jeju Island was heavily armed and the port was flooded with supplies, most of which had been brought from North Korea. This time, the Tiance army crusaded against Japan, and the Korean side not only contributed manpower, but also food and troops, and specially selected the most powerful naval army and infantry to settle the old accounts with Japan.
North Korea is now mixing well, and there is no need to worry about the Tartars entering the country, and the economy is still very good.
North Korea is mountainous, rich in forest resources, the starting point city in the Incheon port of a large number of construction, timber, stone, all kinds of ore purchased, the Li Dynasty royal family is very rich a small fortune, life is very nourishing.
The people of North Korea have also been stained, and the military and civilian people of the former Donggang Town, which are scattered all over North Korea, have high incomes, which makes consumption high, and business in North Korea is also easy to do.
Ordinary people were also able to work for the Ming people, and a large number of Koreans poured into the port of Incheon to work, and their salaries sent back through the branches of the Imperial Bank throughout Korea became a major source of income for many families.
All in all, North Korea is now stable and in a good situation, and according to later generations, its GDP is growing every year.
Of course, learning Chinese has also become fashionable, because learning Chinese means that there are more employment opportunities. In the past, this was a privilege of the aristocracy, but now the city of the beginning has opened Chinese language schools all over North Korea, and ordinary people can also study.
However, the Chinese are free, and the North Koreans are charged, although it is not high, and it also makes the North Koreans envious, when will they be able to become a Chinese?
"Virtuous son-in-law, after a long time, the virtuous son-in-law is more robust and heroic!" The civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty came, and the king of Joseon, Li Zong, also came.
To say that Jeju Island, when history allowed Meng Yuan to invade Korea, it was the last base of North Korea, and the king of Joseon at that time held on to the last moment here.
"My daughter has seen her father!" Smack, confidential secretary Li Xuezhu saluted Li Zong, no way, it's been several years, and I'm used to this etiquette.
Li Zong looked at his daughter, who had a ruddy complexion and a slightly bulging lower abdomen, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, look at the snow beads now, and as a father, you know that there is no one to trust." ”
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Lord, I don't know how the military supplies are prepared?" ”
Li Zong waved his hand and said, "Everything is ready, the virtuous son-in-law can send someone to investigate in detail." ”
This time, Li Chao was able to be so active, in addition to being able to follow the Tiance army to Japan to do a vote, Wang Yue promised that after getting Japan, he would give Tsushima Island, which has no economic value, to North Korea.
Now the sinicization of North Korea is more serious, and the starting point city has penetrated into all aspects of North Korea, and it is expected to come true.
