Chapter 292: Jeju Island

Jiang Feng did not travel through the modern times of the time, young men and women newlyweds are particular about going abroad for honeymoons, of course, everyone does not have too much money, so Jeju Island in South Korea is quite a good choice.

Wu Shen was now standing at the bow of the ship, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking that the Jiang master in Dengzhou had never been to sea at all, why did he know that there was a big island in the south of North Korea, and Monk Li and Jiang Feng's original fleet were all on the route from Shandong to Nagasaki, and even if they were rubbing the edges, they couldn't touch this place.

However, Wu Shen thought so in his heart, but he still obediently led the five armed gunboats behind him according to the arrangement at the time, and he led the way and told so many things, but he caught three boats, Wu Shen still knew that he had made a lot of money, and he was even more surprised after seeing the ship, this ship was not a lucky ship, but it seemed that when he was sailing on the sea compared to the sea boat he used, the speed was actually faster than before.

And on the line of Jiang Feng, it is equivalent to having a security guarantee on the sea in the north, when Jiang Feng's armed merchant ships are at sea, although they are merchant ships, they still have the name of armament, and dozens of wolf-like sailors on it, as well as four guns, are not a joke.

At sea, they often make cameo appearances as pirates, especially in the face of ships that do not have permission to go to the state's private ports, and are often looted by armed merchant ships.

So when Monk Li came to the door, Wu Shen was really happy to descend from the sky, and he followed his wife, children and his brothers the next day and said:

"Now it's our turn to get rich!"

Wu Shen only has doubts about leading the way is that this Jeju Island is a place where birds don't lay eggs, what's the use of occupying it, now in addition to two or three thousand Koreans on the island, there are still one or two hundred Japanese here, which is also a broken to the home, Dafan has some pursuit of devils, either robbing their own merchant ships or going to the south of the Ming Dynasty to try their luck, all those who stay in the Korean area are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Armed merchant ships depart from Dengzhou on weekdays, all of which are full of goods, and then go to Japan to exchange for gold and silver, only this time they are loaded with soldiers, because this is also the first time Dengzhou uses sea ships to transport troops, so they dare not load too many manpower, and consider the convenience of supplies and fresh water towards the most generous limit.

Therefore, five armed merchant ships were loaded with 400 soldiers from the Dengzhou battalion, and one ship was loaded with weapons and grain and grass. The officer led by the Dengzhou battalion this time is a hundred households, whose name is Zhao Sanshui, he was the iron ding when Jiang Feng started, and now he is also a little developed.

On weekdays, he has been following Jiang Feng's side, this time Jiang Feng and Zhang Liang summed it up, they sent him out, Zhao Sanshui is a craftsman in Jizhen Town, and he is quite familiar with the sea style in the rotation at sea in the past few years, and he has a high reputation in the team.

Zhao Sanshui is tall and thin, although he eats not bad every day, but he rarely sees excess meat, his face is dark because of the drill and the wind and waves, and he speaks with a thick voice. He attached great importance to this task, after all, most of the hundred people who came out of Tieding now were middle and lower officers, and only Luo Yi was now in charge of the first battalion independently, but the Yang family hunters, who were quite rusty at the time, were in charge of two battalions.

This time sent to the sea, it is inevitable that it is not a precursor to great use, so every day I stay in the bow of the ship and observe the sea with Wu Shen, and at the same time try my best to understand Jeju Island, according to Wu Shen, this afternoon should be landed on Jeju Island, Zhao Yishui was a little nervous in his heart, and followed Wu Shen to relax there:

"Brother Wu, how many pirates did you say there were on that island?"

Zhao Sanshui had already asked this question more than three times, and Wu Shen was a little impatient in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face:

"There will be no more than 200 people, and the people on that island are all wretched goods that can't get on the boat, and Jeju Island can't do anything except for the girls on the island who go to the sea to catch something, and where the birds don't lay eggs, the sea boats are all parked at the Japanese people."

Wu Shen said here, Zhao Sanshui coughed, Wu Shen reacted quickly, he said that Jeju Island is poor, isn't it to slander the decision-making of the Dengzhou camp, and quickly changed the topic with a dry smile, but Zhao Sanshui changed the topic again and said:

"Are there no North Korean officers and soldiers on the island?"

This is a new question, but when Wu Shen heard it, his eyes widened first, and then he scratched his head vigorously and said:

"If you want to talk about the officers and soldiers of North Korea, I really don't know if there are any, maybe there are officials, right?"

Zhao Sanshui is not very afraid of the Japanese invaders, he also followed Jiang Feng to kill devils in Dengzhou back then, as if he was chopping melons and vegetables, and later heard that those devils were really widows, and they could fight and rush. I thought that if such a powerful Japanese coward was not beaten, how strong could other places be.

However, he was more worried about the officers and soldiers of North Korea, thinking that the other party was also a country anyway, and he heard Monk Li and those sailors say that the territory of North Korea is larger than Shandong, Zhao Sanshui thought to himself how many officers and soldiers there must be, and his 400 people must fulfill the principle of running away if they can't fight, but don't give Jiang people a loss of troops, but he never thought that after asking Wu Shen, the other party still didn't know if there were any officers and soldiers.

Looking at Zhao Sanshui's questionable application, Wu Shen, who had been pretending to be a jack of all trades along the way, couldn't lose his face, and simply said:

"This sounds a little awkward to say, but brother, I've been running at sea for so long, I don't know what officers and soldiers there are on the North Korean side, and the people on the beach are all pirates and pirates, and when they say when to rob, they are going to rob, and no one cares, and we sea men don't have to go inside......"

After saying it upside down, Zhao Sanshui also understood, it turned out that these pirates didn't know if there were officers and soldiers in North Korea.

Of course, if Jiang Feng is on the boat, I am afraid that he will be even more surprised, in modern times, Koreans are all bullish, and South Korea is also the third in the world, and he often says that he has any cultural heritage, and it seems that his ancestors are also more than a few years old.

When many people look at history, they are used to confusing Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang dynasties with Goryeo in the later years, thinking that the Sui and Tang dynasties spent millions of people to conquer and spent many years to consume huge materials to defeat the country, and it will not be too bad in the Ming Dynasty, but there is one thing that everyone should pay attention to is that Goguryeo is in Liaodong, not the Korean Peninsula.

The Korean Peninsula in the Sui and Tang dynasties was still in chaos, and the only place of stability was in the south of Korea, which was a Japanese colony called Nippon Prefecture.

As for the Korean kingdom surnamed Li, it is to give full play to the so-called civil rule, and the people are extremely peace-loving, of course, there is another way to say this, called extreme weakness and bullying, in the Ming Dynasty, the Warring States princes of Japan were inextricably fought.

If the daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku, which were close to Korea, ran out of food, they immediately led their troops to Korea by boat to plunder, grabbed enough and brought it back, which can be called an ATM in the East Asian sea. If in the original historical time and space, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, the Ming army's aid in Korea, and the armies of the two countries fought back and forth on the land of Korea, the local Korea would not be worth mentioning except for the achievements on the water.

Not only is it weak, but it is also poor, the whole of Korea earns 200,000 quintals of taxes a year, and it can raise seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, all of which are concentrated in the area of Seoul, where there is any strength to resist in other places, and what kind of officers and soldiers are mentioned in such a nest of the imperial court, it is a big joke.

Zhao Sanshui didn't know why the adults told him that he was here to land, not to land and fight, most of these soldiers were recruited during the rebellion, and their combat effectiveness was not the strongest person in the Dengzhou battalion, which did make some sense.

When the eight boats that came together approached Jeju Island, Wu Shen was not worried about the attack on the shore, so the old god was standing on the side of the boat to watch the excitement, the shore was already in chaos, the farthest attack weapon of these Japanese robbers on the island was the bamboo bow, and the bamboo bow was only killed within thirty steps, but for the ships at sea and the Dengzhou soldiers wearing armor, it was useless at all, and the attack weapons outside of it, well, were throwing stones, and they were stones thrown by hand.

There is a fishing port on Jeju Island, Wu Shen estimated that the armed merchant ships in Dengzhou may not be able to anchor in the port, I am afraid that only a few of their own ships can do it, but the distance between the two sides can clearly see the general appearance of each other, Zhao Sanshui finally laughed:

"Do you want to be a widow with this kind of wood?"

In fact, the Japanese on the shore were not so miserable, and among the more than 200 people, there were still more than a dozen of them with long knives, and the rest were all holding bamboo spears, which were still covered with iron heads. Their boats were moored on the edge of the fishing harbor, and they dared to launch each other's giant ships (a ship of this size was considered a giant ship for them).

Such an opponent would make people interested, Zhao Sanshui listlessly ordered at the subordinates behind him:

"Just let the merchant ship fire three cannons, don't fight more, don't waste shells!"

The Dengzhou soldiers on the ship all got on the boat as if they were watching a play, looking at the panicked Japanese on the shore, and some people laughed there, and the one-pound eagle cannon on the ship, that is, the Fran cannon, was very simple to control, and after the loading, it was ignited and fired, and the projectile suddenly flew over with a whistling.

The range of one hundred and fifty paces, that is, the one who had just hit, but the Japanese who was standing at the front in cloth clothes was suddenly smashed in the chest, and his accomplices shouted in panic and fear there, and suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers on the ship laughed even louder, and Zhao Xiucai over there suddenly became angry, shouting at the top of his voice:

"Be serious, put your face on Lao Tzu, let's fight!"
