Chapter One Hundred and Nine
Therefore, the defense of the Incheon wharf of the Korean garrison should be matched with at least six Haicang boats for patrol and 12 Fuzhou ships equipped with artillery, that is, two Fuchuan ships with one Haicang boat, half escorting and half harbor protection. In addition, the Ming Academy has the important mission of promoting and disseminating our Ming School in Korea, and the Emperor must know the mystery of this, so he asks the Emperor to recruit loyal people who are interested in educating the people of the vassal state, supplemented by the necessary reputation and official positions to send an envoy to Korea......
After reading it, Zhu Di handed over the letter of state from North Korea to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to discuss the letter of the Ming Dynasty on asking the Ming Dynasty to help build the Ming School.
Then he wrote a letter to Wang Wenle pointing out that from the results of the battle, it can be seen that the future naval battle can already determine the outcome of the victory, so under the condition that the number of garrisons remains unchanged, it should be equipped with warships that match the personnel as much as possible, according to the three sea cangs and six lucky ships are equipped with 1,000 people, it can be calculated in this way, the escort is 1,000, the harbor is 1,000, and the remaining 3,000 should be nine sea ships and 18 lucky ships as the best configuration, if the sea is victorious, the land battle will be won, if the sea battle is invincible, the land war will be invincible, and the DPRK itself must defend the territory, so it is the best policy to match as many sailors as possibleThe quota of personnel is nothing more than the addition of some dead things, and there is no need to save these money, according to this trade, the trade three times a month can fully support the expenses of North Korea.
In addition, according to your introduction to the situation of the Great Ryukyus, I consider that the weak people of the Ryukyu country are far away from our Ming Dynasty, and many islands in the north and south of it are entrenched in tens of thousands of pirates and pirates, so if our Ming Dynasty garrison has few soldiers here, it will not be enough to control the enemy, so we can first combine the recruited refugees with the current sailors for training, and the idea is that a small number of veterans can bring new soldiers to quickly become an army. However, the Ryukyus are located in the north and south of the sea route, looking north to Japan, south to Luzon, and there are tens of thousands of pirates, so you ask for 3,000 troops I think it is too little, and the Korean garrison of 5,000 troops should be invincible, I know that you consider that the profits of Ryukyu's trade are not enough to support various expenses, but this matter I will teach you how to think differently, first of all, you can play everything except the Qiongzhou Mansion, and the Qiongzhou Mansion has been opened and built, so as not to make all kinds of troubles in the court, I don't want to put all my energy into this kind of quarrel. In addition, Korea, Japan, and the Ryukyus will follow your ideas. Since Ryukyu is located in the key place of trade between Japan and the South Seas, you can imitate Zheng He to set up a warehouse in the old port of Xuanwei, transport the goods of my Ming and Korea to the Ryukyus, and then exchange goods with the merchants of Japan and the South Seas, so that you can take what you need, and then you will transport some of the goods to Korea and the Ming Dynasty, so as to give full play to the advantages of the Ryukyus, I believe that the profits can definitely meet your expenses in the Ryukyus, so I consider that in addition to the same garrison in the Ryukyus as Korea, there is also a 2,000-person school in the Ryukyus. Sweep away the pirate's lair, and send 5,000 sailors to devote themselves to this campaign. After all the pirates and pirates in the entire sea area have been wiped out, we can accumulate our strength and slowly plan against Japan, as you said, if there are at least 20,000 sailors and more than 200 ships, we can enter Japan. And Xiaoliuqiu was placed after the settlement of Japan. In contrast, I think that it is better to move the displaced people to Qiongzhou than to Xiaoliuqiu, one is that Qiongzhou is closer to the Ming Dynasty, which is easier to manage and transport materials, and the other is also convenient for people to migrate by land, and third, Jiaozhi and Qiongzhou are easier to develop than Xiaoliuqiu, so you can garrison Xiaoliuqiu with a small number of troops and develop slowly.
As for your request to plant sugarcane in the Ryukyus and set up a sugar factory, there is no need to tell me about such a trivial matter in the future, and you can handle everything you need with Wang Zhong.
As for overseas employment, except for the DPRK, I need to know, you can handle it yourself at your own discretion without asking for a request, and in addition, you should not be too economical in employing people, some money must be spent, so that the DPRK can operate quickly.
We will urge the Shandong provinces to recruit Ding Yong from among the displaced people as soon as possible and send him to Taicang for training. At the same time, it will make the Ministry of Industry step up shipbuilding and replenish the number of ships you need as soon as possible.
Walking on the sea, there are unforeseen storms and clouds, and everything is done carefully.
After Wang Wenle saw this letter, he thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, much more comprehensive and thoughtful than he thought, not to mention the way of employing people, if Yongle was not a master of people, even if he had the ability to go through the sky, it would not be possible for him to have today's situation, and the transit role of a single Ryukyu only relied on letters and maps He could judge the situation and use it so vividly, which had to be admired.
Before there was no direct trade with Japan, the best transit place was this Ryukyu, for him, even if he gained a firm foothold and chose Ryukyu to connect with Korea, Japan was also the best choice, and after Zhu Di left, he might only be able to smuggle from the Ming Dynasty......
It will take time for Xiaoliuqiu to develop, and since Zhu Di has seen the value of immigration, it is also a good thing for Daming to have a place for displaced people to migrate, so as to alleviate the problem of food shortage in disaster years in places where the population is too concentrated.
So he began to prepare for the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he explained that he would only bring two ships of goods, and the rest would bring all the sugarcane seedlings and grain, and fill the remaining ships according to the ratio of one stone of rice and two acres of sugarcane seedlings. Then I went to the Ryukyus with craftsmen and builders in sugar production. North Korea is not in a hurry to pass, and always has to give people Kim Yongcan a little time, and there is no one who can't come up with the drawings of the month.
Zhao Gang thinks that as long as there is a team of people to go to North Korea, Sun Kang can be in charge of this route, and then bring a few potential training, and then transfer people to determine the candidates when the garrison is needed, Zhou Shuzhi thinks so, can first divide the personnel who go to North Korea this time, and then supplement the personnel it has cultivated, and the other half can add some personnel to the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Wang Wenle agreed to their suggestion, and at the same time told Zhao Gang to leave enough training instructors, soon there will be more than 10,000 recruits arriving one after another, we must train strictly, recruits must go through three months of training to pass the recruitment of recruitment, followed by Zhou Shuzhi also recruited a large number of this kind of manpower, all the trained qualified are now employed, but soon at the right time they will change their identity to become officials, you know this yourself, in addition, we recruit manpower to go out, so let them not worry, We have taken this into account when we build the facilities, and everyone has their own home, which is designed according to the standards of a family of five, so everyone does not have to worry about these food, clothing, housing and transportation problems.
