Chapter 425: Occupy the Island Plan
That's pretty much what it means. "The original Tamna people have no sense www.biquge.info of belonging to Goryeo, and the reason why they rely on Goryeo is because their strength is too low and they have to obey. If we go and take charge of building with them and protecting them, they will naturally be more inclined to be independent, so building a good relationship with the Tamna people is our top priority. There are many advantages to doing this, but the main point is that when dealing with Goryeo, the Tamna people will come forward, so we don't have to expose too much at all. β
"What if Goryeo sends troops to fight?" Ni Yuchen couldn't help asking.
"Huh." Gao Feng laughed, "Goryeo's local combat ability is really good, even Emperor Yang of Sui and Liao State can't take it down several times, however, if it is a battle at sea, its combat power is not worth mentioning, Goryeo's ocean-going ships are still purchased from the Great Song Dynasty, not only the ship is small, but also has no combat ability, its role is only transportation, therefore, if it dares to attack, it will be destroyed at sea." Originally, Jeju was dispensable to Goryeo, but if it could destroy its power at sea, it would naturally give up Jeju. β
"Can our ships fight?" Ni Yuchen was surprised, he had no opinion on other aspects, but he was suspicious of the sea ship, so he asked.
"Of course." Gao Feng said confidently, "As soon as these ships arrived, I modified them, not to mention dealing with the Goryeo Kingdom, even in the vicinity of this area, it is also powerful, and the reason why people don't know about it is because I haven't let it show up." β
"So you can be safe." Ni Yuchen exclaimed and asked, "How should it be implemented?" β
Gao Feng said: "Before the implementation, please ask my uncle to promise me one thing. β
Ni Yuchen said: "But it doesn't hurt to speak. β
"I would like to ask my uncle to be the person in charge of Jeju Island." Gao Feng said.
"There's no problem being the person in charge." Ni Yuchen agreed, and said, "But I won't lead the troops." β
Gao Feng was already overjoyed and said, "It's good if the uncle is willing to be responsible, and I will make other arrangements for leading the troops." β
Then he said: "After the uncle landed on the island, he went to negotiate with the people of Tamna to ensure the independence of their kingdom, and at the same time to divide the territory with them and form an offensive and defensive alliance, so that we have one more ally." β
Ni Yuchen nodded and responded, "This move is feasible." β
After thinking about it, he raised another doubt: "I'm afraid that just sending troops can't be comprehensive?" β
Gao Feng replied with a smile: "Naturally, it's not just to send troops. During this period of time, I have stockpiled a lot of grain and livestock, and I have prepared for this. In addition, I have detained a number of homeless people and brought them to the island with them, so that it is up to them to reclaim the wasteland and build a new home. β
So that's the case, Ni Yuchen was surprised. He could not have imagined that Gao Feng's preparations had been so thorough, and that if he could transport all these people and goods to the island, the construction of the island would not be a problem.
"How can it be transported on such a scale?" Ni Yuchen asked.
This problem is also a bit of a headache for the peak, after all, it is not a little and a half star thing, and a few boats alone can't transport much things.
After thinking about it, he said: "The first batch will transport some grain and soldiers up first, and after the territory is secured, I will consider other things." By the way, I will load the ship with some goods that can be traded, and after the uncle stabilizes the situation, he will turn around and sail the ship to Goryeo. β
"Why did you take the initiative to go to Goryeo?" Ni Yuchen was puzzled. Occupying other people's territory, can't hide, and running away from other people's homes, it's just bold.
Gao Feng smiled and said: "Goryeo's control over Jeju Island is extremely weak, so weak that it can be ignored, that is to say, if you toss Jeju Island all over the place, as long as the Tamna people don't report it, they won't know, so it's not a big problem for us to go and do business." There are two major advantages of doing business in Goryeo, one is to paralyze them, so that they think that we are merchants and will not have bad intentions, and the other is that we can exchange for a large amount of food and materials for building the island, so that it is much more convenient when the island is built. β
"It's kind of interesting." Ni Yuchen smiled knowingly and replied, "Even if they find out that something has happened afterwards, it will be too late to find trouble." β
Gao Feng shook his head and said: "They will not come to us, there are Tamna people who are there to stand up, even if they find out that something has happened, they will only think that the Tamna people have rebelled, and they will not attribute the reason to a group of merchant ships." Of course, there is a key point in this, that is, once they send troops, they must not let go of a single person. β
"Then who are you going to send to lead the troops?" Ni Yuchen asked.
Gao Feng said: "In the early stage, it was Wu Jiaotou who went and ordered Hu Bao to follow, and when the matter over there was decided, Hu Bao would be in charge of the troops on the shore, and Han Qiang would be in charge of the troops on the water." β
Hu Bao has been going out to practice recently, coupled with Wu Jue's earnest teaching, the progress is very fast, basically he can stand alone, and his age is not young, Gao Feng decided to let him try, once Hu Bao is successful, Gao Feng will have another general, and the next plan will also add a boost.
Naturally, Ni Yuchen would not object to Gao Feng's proposal, so the matter was finalized.
Then Gao Feng and Ni Yuchen discussed the relevant details for a long time, and then they said goodbye.
Gao Feng came to the county office again and called Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi to discuss.
Gao Feng said straight to the point: "Two adults, I am going to open a secluded sea trade route and do business abroad, I don't know what the two adults think?" β
Both of them were shocked to hear this proposal, they really hadn't thought about such a thing.
Qiu said: "Maritime trade is extremely risky, and it is better not to do it without full certainty." β
Gao Feng smiled and said: "Sitting at home is stable, but how can we achieve the Haikou that we boasted to the imperial court?" β
"Thisβ?" The two of them didn't know how to answer.
It's about to be the third year, and the first two years have successfully completed the plan, but in the third year, he promised to hand over five million yuan to the imperial court, and there is indeed a gap in this money, and if he doesn't open up a new way to make money, he may really break his promise.
"What if something happens?" Qiu asked him.
"It's easy." Gao Feng replied, "There are two accidents at sea, one is the loss caused by the overturning of the ship due to too much wind and waves, and the other is the encounter with bandits, resulting in the emptiness of people and goods. The one ahead depends on the weather, but if we choose the weather to go out to sea and find some reliable guides, this will be fine. The latter one is easier, the boat has enough village soldiers, and it is easy to fight when encountering bandits, so it can ensure safety. β
"This matter is very important, can you report it to the imperial court?" Qiu Wei asked again
"Yes, Qiu County Cheng can do it." Gao Feng said, "However, don't expect the imperial court to give assistance, my opinion is to take care of your own children, so that it is both intimate and convenient." β
