Zheng Sen knew that whether it was those under his father's command or those Taixi people who had been recruited recently, they were basically pirates, and it was really impossible for these people to fight without committing any crimes. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info In the consciousness of these people, isn't fighting a war or something just to plunder? In fact, Zheng Sen also agrees with this point of view, but Zheng Sen feels that the current level of plundering by the Zheng family's army is still too primitive. is still in a state of casual robbery, this state has many drawbacks and low efficiency, Zheng Sen has long wanted to reform this, but now Zheng Sen does not have a direct control of the descendant troops, so Zheng Sen can only be said to be more than willing to do this.

However, when Li Guozhu set off, Zheng Sen still had a long talk with Li Guozhu. In this conversation, Zheng Sen told Li Guozhu two important concepts from a strategic position:

The first concept is that robbery should be professionalized, centralized, and fair, and you can't rob sesame seeds and lose watermelons. Therefore, when robbing, it is necessary to strictly follow the plan, first control the places with the most oil and water, and then take care of these oil and water in a centralized manner, and then distribute them according to the method of rewarding meritorious deeds. In this way, the problem of only wanting to eat meat and not gnawing bones can be avoided, and as long as the chief officer controls it effectively, it can also effectively control the contradictions between this faction.

The second idea is that robberies must be cost-contained. According to Zheng Sen's analysis, the North Koreans on Jeju Island, except for a few bureaucrats and landlords, are basically poor, and robbing these people will not rob anything of value at all, but will greatly increase the cost of robbery, which refers not only to the resistance encountered during the robbery, but even to the time consumed for it.

"There may be several ant nests in the yard outside, and if we take the time, we can always find them, and then we can get rid of them almost without difficulty. And there will be absolutely no casualties. But will we go for something like this? No, because we get almost nothing out of spending time on these ant nests. And if we use that time for something else meaningful, we get much more. So, the time consumed is also a cost. There are very few things we can grab from those poor North Korean bastards, and once we rob them, it will cause a large-scale revolt, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, properly restraining subordinates and not grabbing those poor eggs can save us a lot of costs. ”

This is how Jeong Sen told Lee Kook-su about how to deal with the poor North Koreans on Jeju Island.

"However, those officials in North Korea will use these poor bastards to fight with us, and if we kill their people, they will naturally hate us and will resist us." Li Guozhu said.

"It's up to us to do it. In fact, as long as we do it well, we can make those poor North Koreans and rich North Korean officials become mortal enemies. First of all, who are our friends and who are our enemies. This is the most important first question to do anything. In Jeju Island, whose interests conflict the most with ours? Of course, the local officials and the rich landlords, because we were going to rob them. Since they are our enemies, we will kill them completely, and we will not compromise with them. On the other hand, there are things in their property that don't really matter to us, what do we need? It's the territory of Jeju Island, the livestock on Jeju Island, the fields on Jeju Island, and to be honest, we really don't look down on it. Are we going to go there and plant crops? Therefore, under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, we can drive away all those officials and rich people, and divide their silver, horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock among ourselves, and we will directly distribute them to those poor people who are worthless, tattered things that we do not look down on, and fields and so on. Speaking of this, Zheng Sen smiled and said, "But for those poor bastards, hehe, this is their fate." They naturally knew what would happen if those old men came back as long as we left. By that time, whose side do you say they will be on? ”

In fact, this was not Zheng Sen's creation, in the later Chitu Dynasty, the founding Taizu used similar means when dealing with certain ethnic areas, and the result was that it was supported by the vast number of lower-class people, and in the years of the Red Dynasty Taizu, these lower-class people became the most resolute force to support national unification and oppose national separatism. At that time, all separatist forces could only jump around in foreign countries, and at home, even in their own nation, and even more in their own nation, the more they could not find supporters. However, later, the Red Rabbit Kingdom set things right and brought out some of the old upper echelons to unite them, but the result was ......

Li Guozhu felt that Zheng Sen's idea seemed to have some truth, as for whether it would work or not, he was not sure, but he knew that his status was just an executor, so he planned to honestly try it according to Zheng Sen's idea.

Therefore, the ordinary people on the island were surprised to find that those would-be robbers did not seem to be as vicious as the legend, although it could not be said that there was nothing to do with killing people together, but on the whole, compared to the expectations of the people on the island, these would-be robbers were really "innocent in autumn".

Of course, those rich people were unlucky, and some of the rich people in the city were robbed of their homes, but those would-be robbers were busy robbing things, and they were not very interested in killing people, so many rich people ran away.

"We will rob the rich North Korean people's family wealth, but pay attention, those rich people, we want to let some of their family members escape, if the people in their family die, those who have divided their fields will feel that in the future, when the North Korean government comes back, they will not lose anything anymore, and they will not really rely on us." This is also what Zheng Sen told him before Li Guozhu set off.

After another two days, these gangs of gangsters actually sent people all over the streets to shout that they were not robbers, but righteous people who "robbed the rich and helped the poor," and now they planned to distribute the things they had stolen from those who were "unkind to the rich." Even not just things, even valuable land can be distributed to everyone.

Of course, the Zheng family's organization is far worse than that of a later organization, so their fight against local tyrants and the division of land is naturally not as strict as it was in later generations. However, by force, they managed to throw away the belongings they didn't like, such as tables, chairs, chests, and large beds, to the poor people, even the title deeds.

"It's in their hands, and it won't be long before they think it's their own. Who wants to give up something that goes into their mouth? Believe it or not, when we go to Dajing County in a few days, ask them to help pull the cannons, and they promise that they will not object. Li Guozhu said to Hong Xu, who was sent to assist him.

"But they won't help us." Hong Xu said.

"Of course, they're not sure we'll be here for long. We first issued a notice, asking each of them to send a man to help us do things, all the people were given three meals a day, and two dollars a day, and after we laid down Dajing County, each person was given another five feet of cloth. But we don't send anyone to watch them, and you know, Jeju City is like this, and it's actually very easy for them to escape. If they really oppose us, they will flee overnight. We have few people, and we can't control them all. But I dare say that there won't really be many people running away by then. ”

Two days later, the "red-haired pirates" conquered Dajing County, and five days later, the "red-haired pirates" conquered Jingyi County. Two more days later, the last of the North Korean resistance was forced to venture across the sea and retreat to the Korean Peninsula. The pirates completed the occupation of the entire Jeju Island.

……

In the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, on Ganghwa Island, North Korea, Dolgon was standing on a hill with high spirits, looking at the North Korean officials and noblewomen who were tied up in groups below. These were the wives of Korean princesses, princes, and important ministers. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty launched an attack on Korea, Joseon Renzong was in a panic and remembered that he had fled to Ganghwa Island for refuge when Ding Mao was in turmoil. And the facilities on Ganghwa Island are not bad, and the Joseon royal family still has a set of palaces there. So he sent the princess, the prince, and the wives of important ministers to Ganghwa Island for refuge.

But in fact, Ganghwa Island was not really a suitable place to take refuge, and when Ding Mao was in chaos, Houjin still had no naval army at all, and the Korean naval division at that time was much stronger than now. Therefore, although Ganghwa Island is only a few hundred meters away from the nearest place on land, relying on the absolute superiority of the sailors, Houjin at that time really had nothing to do with the Korean royal family hiding on Ganghwa Island.

However, this time it is different, on the one hand, the North Korean sailors are constantly being "borrowed" by Donggang and Lydon, and they have been greatly weakened. On the other hand, after the Denglai Rebellion, the Later Jin, or should be called the Manchu Qing, has obtained a large number of naval forces (some of the ships are simply loaned by the Korean naval division), and then when Dongjiang Town collapsed, a group of naval divisions that originally belonged to the Dongjiang River also took refuge in the Manchu Qing, plus after Kong Youde and others surrendered, the Later Jin obtained a lot of artillery, so now Ganghwa Island, which is only a few hundred meters away from the land, can no longer resist the attack of the Manchu army. Moreover, it is the first month of the year, coupled with the climate of the Xiaoice River, the weather is very cold, and many places on the sea between Ganghwa Island and the mainland of North Korea are only a few hundred meters freezing. Some of these lots are already fully passable.

As a result, Ganghwa Island was naturally no longer able to resist the Manchu offensive. With little effort, Dorgon breached Ganghwa Island and captured the Koreans who had taken refuge there.

At this time, Dorgon saw a white-armored soldier riding a horse galloping from a distance.

"Did something happen?" Dorgon thought.

The white-armored soldier soon approached, and everyone recognized the man, whose name was Hurugan, and he was one of Dorgon's personal guards.

"Master! There is military intelligence. The man was still a few dozen paces away from Dolgon, and he turned over and dismounted, and shouted at the same time
