Article 142 Deterrence
In order to complete the medium-term plan of the 'Kyushu Raiders', the next half month is the time to wait patiently.
The medium-term plan consists of three components:
First, it is to lay down the three sub-kingdoms of Hizen, Chikuzen and Chikugo;
Second, occupy the two islands closest to the East China Sea on Kyushu Island, one is Iki Island, which is now named Sayuri Island, although Sayuri Island is named after Sayuri Takagi, but Cai Dao intends to take him into his own hands and use it as his advance base in Kyushu Island and Wakoku.
On the one hand, after conquering the three sub-kingdoms, they can provide military and material support for Takagi.
On the other hand, it can also be the transit point of the Cai family in the Japanese trade. Build a strong fortress on the island and no one will get your hands on it.
The other island is not one island, but many islands, which became known as the Goto Islands.
Originally, Cai Dao wanted to sell Takagi Island, which was formerly Hirado Island, to money. However, this dead fat man only has money in his eyes, and for other things, if he has the slightest risk, he will take the initiative to retreat. Even pulled his own hind legs with Dean.
This performance disappointed him.
Therefore, Cai Dao decided to contact the wealthy families in the coastal area of Fujian after returning to Xiaocili, and the wealthy families here are not wealthy families like Zheng Xia and the Weng family, but maritime merchants who have been engaged in maritime trade in the coastal areas. Sell all the small islands that can live in the entire Goto archipelago. Everyone joined forces to monopolize the maritime trade of the Japanese kingdom.
Third, Cai Dao is ready to monopolize the entire population trade in the Wa Kingdom.
In fact, Cai Dao hated these human traffickers the most in later generations, and he thought that the government should kill them all if they caught such people, as long as they were verified.
However, if it is foreigners, especially Japanese people, it is a different matter. He didn't mind being a trafficker at all.
Cai Dao's own power is limited after all, and the variety of goods produced is already small, and there are even fewer that can be sold. That's why he auctioned off the Goto Islands.
However, Cai Dao did not intend to let out the business of buying and selling the population of the Japanese Kingdom, but took it all into his own hands.
In the Great Song Kingdom, especially in the three regions of Fujian, Northwest China and Bianliang, there were more men than women, and the ratio of men to women was extremely unbalanced. There are many reasons for this, but with the concept of today's people, it is impossible for anyone to pay attention to this aspect.
Therefore, Cai Dao's unique business, the women of the Japanese country are the focus.
There are more singles, there are more rights and wrongs, and those gangsters who don't produce in Bianliang City are this kind of people. It's not that they don't want to live well, but the court of the Great Song Kingdom didn't give them such an opportunity. Let's ask, if there are Hun families waiting for them to come home, how many of them will continue to fool around like this?
Like Liu Yong, it is the privilege of the literati not to take care of his wife and children at home, but to linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. In the Great Song Kingdom, especially after the Renzong Dynasty, the status of the forbidden army deteriorated, and some of the forbidden army even let their wives in order to make a living. How incredible this is in the eyes of posterity!
Even in the Ming Dynasty, the status of military households was also low, and it never reached the point of being like the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
And the men of the Japanese Kingdom are Cai Dao's builders and cannon fodder.
On Yizhou Island, there is still a big justice to get back.
Cai Dao's subordinates did not have so many soldiers, so he trained his subordinates to become elite soldiers, supplemented by the Japanese servant army. When the time comes, capturing the entire Yizhou Island can also greatly reduce the consumption of Cai Dao's men.
At this time, in addition to the dog and the iron pillar, Cai Dao sent all his sailors out together with the naval servants recruited in Nagasaki, and they drove the only battleship, the "Meisu Island", and under the guidance of the troops in Matsuura Castle, they were actively attacking Tsushima Island, Sayuri Island, and Goto Island, completely sweeping away the remnants of the Matsuura Party on the island.
This is to clear the way for the future plan to go smoothly, and the new Takagi Party is also in the process of preparation, the big leader is Takagi Sayuri, and the backbone is the 10 young people who originally belonged to Takagi's subordinates, with the help of her mother Jiahezi, while recruiting manpower, while actively integrating the resources of his subordinates, and reorganizing the momentum of the pirates that originally belonged to the Matsuura Party.
Cai Dao's original plan was not to completely cut off the piracy business that originally belonged to Tsushima Island, Sayuri Island, and Pingdo Island.
In other words, the people that Cai Dao will put on Sayuri Island in the future will also participate in the looting operations of the Takagi Party.
However, there is only one target for the Takagi pirates to plunder in the future - the Goryeo Kingdom, of course, if they have the courage, they can also expand their targets to the Great Liao Kingdom.
It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but the powerful place of the Great Liao Kingdom is also on horseback, if it is put on the sea to compete, it is really impossible to say who will kill the deer. However, in this case, it will invisibly force the Great Liao State to strengthen its maritime power.
However, Cai Dao did not intend to interfere too much in the follow-up construction of the Takagi pirates and the establishment of goals. If they have the courage to point the finger at Xiaocili or other seas of the Great Song Kingdom, they can give it a try.
At this time, the territory of Goryeo was still south of the Taedong River, and did not extend to the edge of the Yalu River.
To tell the truth, when Goryeo was in the Tang Dynasty, she was already very famous, and I heard that Song Renzong had several beauties from the Goryeo Kingdom around him. How can they be looted back in large quantities and sold to Fujian, for the sake of these beautiful Goryeo women, I believe that those rich maritime merchants will not spare their purses.
If you can get in touch with the Jurchens, UU Reading can also trade with the Jurchens directly from the sea to obtain the excellent stallions that the Great Song Kingdom desperately needs. Presumably, after Song Shenzong got the news, he would definitely support him.
In the next half month, everything was going on in an orderly manner according to Cai Dao's plan.
The first to complete the task is of course those sailors, the elite of the Songpu Party has already lost their halberds in the Nagasaki Inland Sea and in the Matsuura City, the aborigines of these islands, Cai Dao is not a single one who intends to stay, if it is not for Jiahezi's special request, these people, regardless of age, will be taken to the prison in Nagasaki first. In the future, Cai Dao will be escorted together on his own island.
Cannon fodder and slaves are where these people will belong in the future.
Takagi would continue to transport the recruited servant army to Songpu County every day, and with the food reserves of the Matsuura family, the pirate leader, for many years, Cai Dao did not have to worry about military rations at all.
Cai Dao handed over the entire matter of military training to Fujiwara Lanling. Now, among his subordinates, only this all-rounder can take on such a heavy responsibility. Li Dahu and his dart masters, the samurai recruited for the first time, and the two fools, Tiezhu and Gouzi, are all pink newcomers. Although they already have experience in fighting, it is still too far to let them lead the army to attack alone.
Therefore, there is no need for Cai Dao's orders at all, from the beginning of the training, these people have been following Fujiwara Lanling's ass, seriously learning how to lead, train, and lead the troops.
In Shin-Takagi-gun, Cai Dao did not continue to recruit any more samurai as officers. One is the fear of risk, and the other is that the number of officers is limited after all.
However, he made people recruit literate people, that is, dog-headed military advisors. There weren't many applicants in Matsuura County, but there was a steady stream of applicants from the surrounding counties.
