Some of the slaughter work, of course, is not good for the Ming to do it himself, even the Dongying of later generations, must first build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, and form a stick army to cover people's eyes, not to mention the Ming of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.

In addition to this, there is also the black work of human trafficking, and it is inconvenient for Daming to do it himself.

In this patrilineal society, trafficking Dongying women to Daming can not only increase the population of Daming, but also directly reduce the population of Dongying.

The current Daming is more popular than the United States in a certain period of later generations, and even the lords of those small countries went to Daming, crying and refusing to leave Daming, not to mention those ordinary people.

But these things must be done by someone, and there must be a sound management system.

Now that Zhu Zhanji has handed over this power to Ji Gang and them, it will be of great help to them to act as a-stirring stick in Dongying.

Zhuang Jing immediately understood what Zhu Zhanji meant, and felt that Zhu Zhanji's thoughts were digging the foundation of Dongying.

What is the biggest resource that the country is grabbing now? Isn't it the population?

If it weren't for the fact that there are so few people on Jeju Island, less than 100,000 in total, they would still be expected to raise horses and pigs. Otherwise, Zhu Zhanji would like to pull a group of women directly from Jeju Island to Daming.

In this day and age, it is too difficult for newborns to grow up.

The first is that giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and after birth, they can't eat enough, and they are malnourished one by one, and these children not only have to face hunger, but also disease.

Daming is a little better, after all, Chinese medicine is the most effective treatment method in this era. But what about other countries? A single cold can kill you.

What does the West rely on to treat diseases now? Only bloodletting. Even this treatment continued until 400 years later.

Therefore, if you want to increase the population, one is to have enough food to eat, at present, the Ming people are few and there are many lands, and the food supply is sufficient. One stone of grain, that is, one hundred and twenty catties of rice, is sold for only two dollars and six cents of silver, and one tael of silver can buy about four hundred and fifty catties.

The medical facilities are also the best, not only in the county, but also in almost every small town.

And now in many countries, such as Jeju Island, there are only two doctors on the entire island. This is still good, many countries that have not been influenced by the culture of the Ming Dynasty do not have the profession of doctors at all.

However, how many people can be accommodated in the current territory of the Ming Dynasty?

Today, the total population of Daming is well documented at about 50 million. According to Zhu Zhanji's estimates of food and land, the maximum amount of food that can be fed to 100 million people has reached the limit.

Even if it is to develop aquaculture and import grain from Southeast Asia, the limit of the population that can be fed does not exceed 150 million people.

In other words, the pressure of population development in Daming is still relatively small. If you really want to increase the population by all means, it will take at least 20 years to grow to 100 million people.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had already colonized foreign countries.

So for a long time, Daming was not afraid of running out of food to eat, but afraid that the population would not be enough.

Of course, if you want to vigorously develop the population, you also need government guidance. Because the transportation is so inconvenient now, the migration of the population is very difficult.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to develop the immigrant population, it was necessary to purposefully concentrate the population explosion area along the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to facilitate the migration at that time.

And the women who were sold from Dongying to Daming can be purposefully arranged in this area.

However, this is a long-term plan, and Zhu Zhanji can't take care of it that far now, and the first thing he needs to do is to seize Tsushima Island before the Chinese New Year.

On the second day of December, all the navy soldiers, except for the necessary patrol ships and those who remained behind, were disembarked and concentrated in an open field west of the capital of Jeju County.

It was originally a breeding farm for horses exported from Jeju Island, but it has been requisitioned for the purpose of holding a mobilization meeting.

The people of this era may not be inferior in wisdom to later generations, but they are far worse in knowledge.

Before many people became soldiers, they lived within a few dozen miles, and they saw no more than 10,000 people. They have not read books, and the information they can receive is that their elders talk about the ancients or listen to books.

Therefore, they are easily seduced and easily follow the masses. Because they can't experience the joy of life, except for the task of passing on the lineage, they are not afraid of death at all.

Whenever the army is dispatched, it must mobilize the people, write an essay, and read it to everyone.

The purpose of this article is to let everyone know why there is a war and whether it is a just war or not.

Don't think it's not important, on the contrary, it's very important.

But whether it is a lie or a truth, whether the soldiers believe it or not, depends on the level of the person who wrote the text.

Zheng He is worthy of being a civil and military all-rounder, and the prose he writes is not only easy to understand, but also passionate. He made a rough count of the looting of the Ming Dynasty by the Japanese in the past few decades, and selected some tragic past events to read, which aroused everyone's fighting heart.

More than 100 chamberlains lined up in a long line, at the front of the line. Zheng He read a sentence, and these attendants repeated his words to ensure that everyone could hear them.

Just after a big victory, morale is high. When they heard that the nest of these would-be robbers was 500 miles northeast, that there were only more than 10,000 people on the island, and that there were still more than 100 craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, everyone shouted with high emotions: "The Ming Dynasty is victorious!" ”

This majestic momentum made the face of Hayada Saemon, who was watching from the sidelines, lose color, and the Ming people, who were previously regarded as weak chickens, were so powerful when they were brought together.

Although they are more ferocious, but now that the Ming Dynasty has the firearm that can kill the enemy without getting close, their bravery has long been useless.

It's going to change!

In addition to the 10,000 soldiers who were left on the island to guard these unarmed pirates and collect horses, the rest of the people all returned to the ship.

The army slowly moved out, this time targeting Tsushima Island, which had been ruled by the Zong family for five hundred years.

Although this attack was outside Zhu Di's plan, Zhu Zhanji believed that Zhu Di would definitely not be angry after attacking Tsushima.

Because this was originally part of the strategy plan.

The sky was not beautiful, and the army set sail for less than an hour, and the sky was overcast. Then it rained.

To make matters worse, the original northwesterly wind turned into a northeasterly wind, and the entire fleet was headwinding.

This also led to the fact that the entire fleet could only go in a zigzag shape, and the original journey of five hundred miles was more than one thousand miles, and the speed was still very slow.

The journey, which was originally planned to be completed in a day and a half, took four to five days this time.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not intend to retreat, and he would have encountered all kinds of difficulties when sailing north this season, and he was unwilling to give up his plan to occupy Tsushima because of this difficulty.

Attacking Tsushima before the New Year played a crucial role in the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Dongying later.

Now the most pitiful thing is the sailors on deck, the temperature has dropped below freezing, and they have to watch the wind from the deck, adjust the angle, and mend the sails.

What Zhu Zhanji could do was to have a large amount of ginger soup and small chaihu soup on every ship to prevent the spread of the flu.

By the evening of the second day, the rain had stopped, but the journey was more difficult.

Because they have entered the Korean Strait, they cannot drive at will here, and can only sail according to the sea route map to prevent them from running aground.

And this sea map is still the old map from before, and there are not many reefs to be discovered, so the speed is much slower.

Zheng He was also a little helpless in the face of this situation, and sighed: "Qianyuan once wanted to attack Dongying twice, but he returned because of the wind direction and the storm, is this really blessed by the Sea Dragon King?" ”

"I am the Dragon Sun of the Ming Dynasty, but I am much older than this Dragon King of the East China Sea. We are not afraid of slowness, but we are afraid that we ourselves have lost the confidence to move forward. ”

Having said that, Zhu Zhanji also felt a little evil in his heart.

Fortunately, the next day, the sky cleared and the wind direction changed to northwest again. Although it is still a semi-headwind, it is already possible to sail in a straight direction.

After dark, the Ming fleet changed its battle phalanx and did not dare to sail again, so it could only slowly find a shallow place to anchor.

In order not to be prepared on the island, all the ships were not lit.

Tsushima is smaller and has almost no flat land. It has always been the center of Asahi trade, and it depends on trade for its livelihood.

At the same time, it is also the base camp of the Japanese Bandits, and Hayada Saemon is the largest Japanese leader here, and has even snatched most of the power from the hands of the actual ruler here, Sosada Shigeru.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji was not afraid that they would not be able to attack, but he was afraid that after the people on the island escaped, it would be difficult to catch them.

Zhu Zhanji, the man here, didn't want to stay, so what he used was left to Hayada Saemon to do black work, and what he didn't need was transported to the grassland to build roads.

These people were transported to Kaiping Qiantunwei and Beiming Mountain, whether it was Liu Sheng or Zheng Heng, they would be extremely happy.

There's just a shortage of people there.

Hayada Saemon couldn't sleep all night, looking at his old nest through the dark curtain. Originally, this was his base camp, but now he had to raise his long knife against them.

But he didn't have a choice, anyway, everyone in the Zong family had to die, so it was better to die in his own hands!

Zhuang Jing comforted him at this time. "Hayata-kun, don't just focus on Tsushima Island, if you solve the hidden danger of the Japanese invaders, Your Highness will turn your attention to the South Seas, and at that time, you will have more room for development. Maybe in ten years, you can also become a land king on an island in the South Seas. ”

Hayada Saemon didn't have a bottom in his heart, he couldn't even see Zhu Zhanji's face, how could he believe Zhu Zhanji's promise?

But he had no choice, in order to survive, for the sake of the thousands of subordinates under his hands, he had to gamble.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not see him, one is the grandson of a country, and the other is a wandering widow, and the identity gap between the two is like a chasm.

If Zhu Zhanji was willing to see him, then he would be even more worried that Zhu Zhanji would kill people.

Therefore, he could only sigh: "I hope that your Royal Highness the Grand Sun is really as you say, and has the world in mind!" ”
