Whether the scenery is good or not depends mainly on the mood of the viewer. 【Reading.com】

Jeju Island, like Qiongju, is actually a famous scenic spot in later generations, and the scenery here is certainly not bad. It's just that the exiled prisoners are full of resentment and despair in their hearts, and they can't appreciate the beauty of this place.

Walking on the beach, Xie Hong was in a good mood. He is a layman who has no elegant bones, of course, he is in a good mood not because of the scenery here, on the seascape, the scenery of Lushun is not bad, after crossing he, he is used to seeing natural scenery, how can he be moved by the scenery of an island?

He would be happy, of course, because the plan was going well, and there was some windfall, and that windfall was the horse.

In addition to the exile of prisoners, Jeju Island also has a function, which is to raise horses. This is a rule that has been formed in the Mengyuan period, and it has been followed until the Ming Dynasty.

So, after Xie Hong's pirate gang occupied Jeju Island, these horses became his trophies smoothly, although they were of little use now, but they made Xie Hong feel good.

"Brother Xie, in addition to the soldiers and exiles stationed on this island, there are two county towns on this island, called Dajing and Jingyi, according to that Cui Dabing, there are thousands of people in total, and we only have three or four hundred people in total, can this be managed?"

Ma Ang's face was gloomy, here on Jeju Island, there were more than 1,000 North Korean soldiers stationed there, excluding those who were killed or injured at the pier, and there were more than 1,000 exiles, plus the residents of the island, there were as many as five or six thousand.

But on the other hand, on the other hand, even if you add sailors, there are less than 400 people, and the gap of more than a dozen to one is really big. What's more, Xie Hong's main target is not here, and after finding out the surrounding situation, the main force may also leave the island at any time.

In this way, even if the North Korean naval army does not come to disturb it, it is a question whether he can control the situation on the island, but Xie Hong looks very happy, which makes Ma Ang very dizzy.

"We all have something to do, so how can we have time to watch over them? Today's human resources are precious, and wasting them is a crime. ”

"Then ......" Maang was even more confused, it was you who said earlier that you would make Jeju Island a base for advancement, and now it is you who said that you will not invest human resources, what kind of charter is it?

"Actually, it's very simple, let's just raze it." Ruling Jeju Island was an important part of Xie Hong's plan, and he had already begun to think about it on the way, and after everything went smoothly on the island, he confirmed the idea in his heart.

"First of all, let's classify the North Koreans on the island, the standards can be set a little more, the most important indicator is the order of refuge, then the number of betrayals, and then the original identity, and then each type of people get different treatment......

Dividing and disintegrating, and then using natives to rule over natives, is actually a method summed up by invaders and scholars.

Just like the Manchurian Tartars of later generations, when they invaded the Central Plains, the population of the Central Plains was even more exaggerated than Xie Hong's now, it was 100 or even 1,000 to 1, but with the barbaric and bloody means and the existence of the Han anniversaries, they still successfully ruled China for more than 200 years.

The methods of the invaders of the Japanese state were more scientific than those of the Manchurian Tatars, and Xie Hong intended to rule Jeju Island in a similar way.

"The materials on the island must be collected in one place, and then uniformly rationed, and the status of the more thorough refuge will be higher, and the material ration will be relatively high, for example, Shunmin can get one more fish a day, and Chao Zhan can get one more squid...... Well? You say squid is not tasty? How is it possible, this game means that it is very good. ”

"Anyway, that's what it means, the people on the island already have contradictions with each other, and in this way, the contradictions will further expand, and the rifts will become chasms, and then there will be no unity. Those who originally took refuge in us will get closer and closer to us, and with them, others can only swallow their anger. Of course, deterrence is also to be continued......"

"Not enough?" Ma Ang wondered, judging from the battle at the dock, the degree of waste of the North Korean soldiers was really unusual, and the previous deterrence should have been almost the same.

Xie Hong said leisurely: "The battle at the dock only scared them, but it couldn't make them desperate, so we have to lure out the North Korean navy and defeat it, not only to deter the small Korean court, but also to make the people on the island desperate." ”

In fact, according to the information of later generations, the Koreans have always been weak and are the kind of people that the invaders liked the most, and even if they do not use these means, there will be no problem.

However, Xie Hong deliberately used Jeju Island as a place to practice violent rule, so he had to use all the methods he thought of, and after the exercise, regulations could be formed to facilitate future promotion.

"Will North Korea come?"

"It should be, the number of horses raised on the island has been counted, there are more than 2,000, this is not a small amount, presumably the North Korean side will not give up easily." Xie Hong raised his eyes to look at the sea to the north, a few sails could be faintly seen, and he smiled mysteriously: "Brother Ma, do you know?" Lu Renyi's acting skills are also quite good. ”

…… Kim Yousan was a naval commander who commanded the Jeolla Province Rightwater Camp and was stationed at Mokpo Port.

Don't look at his name very loudly, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that he is just a water transportation captain.

The sailors under his command rotate once every few months, and when they are not on duty, they are fishermen, and when they are sailors, the ships are even more nonsense, and there is nothing to transport things, and they can only be caught blind in war.

In the past, there was no need to worry about the golden moderation envoys, but in recent years, the number of ships in the hands of local tyrants has increased, and their combat effectiveness has also increased a lot, and they have repelled several attacks by Japanese pirates at sea.

Not to mention here in Mokpo, even the area from Busan to Yeosu, which is closest to Tsushima Island, has been peaceful for a long time, so what is there to worry about? The job of this temperance envoy is very simple, as long as he does a good job as the captain of the transportation brigade, and he can embezzle military salaries in a controlled manner.

However, he was troubled by the rumors he had heard recently, and he learned from the sailors who were not on duty that a strange fleet had come from the north and headed south, stopping at many places along the way, and asking the locals about the Korean navy.

It is not uncommon for a fleet to come to North Korea, although the Ming Dynasty is forbidden to the sea, but there are many ships on the sea, and unlike the powerful fleet of North Korea to defend the coastal waters, most of the fleets of the Ming Dynasty are merchant ships that can go to the sea.

The purpose of these ships was to destroy the Japanese state, but occasionally when they got lost, they would also come to Korea, and the well-informed Kim Temperance envoy certainly did not worry about this.

However, this time the fleet was a little strange, and the sailors on it were very strong, but those who heard it described that those ships were clearly light ships, and they would definitely not be merchant ships.

Then the question arises, what is the purpose of this fleet? Could it be pirates? But pirates should also go to the Japanese country, what are they doing off the coast of Korea? Could it be a lost pirate? A series of questions lingered in Jin Youshan's heart, and he didn't even participate in the routine sailing ceremony a few days ago.

A few days ago, I went to Jeju Island again, and in addition to transporting a new batch of prisoners, I also had to bring some horses back, which is one of the important sources of wealth in Jeolla Province, and I must not ignore it.

With the previous worries, the envoy of Jin Jiejie specially sent half of his large ships, accompanied by hundreds of sailors, just in case.

And according to common sense, the fleet should have returned yesterday, but there was no news until noon today, which made his anxiety reach its peak, and he walked around the yard restlessly.

"Lord Temperance, Li Wanhu and they are back and are asking to see them outside."

Li Wanhu is the sailor Wanhu who led the fleet, since he is back, then there should be no major incident, and the Jin Jiezhi envoy is also relieved, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and let him come to see me." ”

"See the ...... of adults" Not long after, Li Wanhu came in, and unlike the five-short Cui Wanhu in Jeju Island, this person was quite tall, like a fierce general, but his face was very bad, and his breathing was a little short, and he seemed very anxious.

"Li Wanhu, there has been such a long delay on the road, but what happened to you? Can there be damage to the ship's personnel, and how much is the damage? Jin Youshan had something in his heart, and he didn't have time to care about those false courtesies, so he directly threw out a series of questions.

"My lord, the fleet has been safe all the way, but there has been an accident on Jeju Island."

"Jeju Island?"

"My lord, the fleet you said is indeed a pirate, and it is a fierce pirate from the Ming Dynasty, although they did not commit any crimes along the way, they occupied Jeju Island."

"Huh?" Jin Youshan was taken aback, he didn't think of this answer anyway.

Jeju Island is not a place to live, and there are robbers and pirates passing by from time to time, but there are no people who want to occupy it.

There are many mountains and hills on that island, and there are very few fields that can be used for planting, and even the thousands of people on the island still have to send supplies from North Korea from time to time, and it is not a place to live for a long time.

What's more, it is impossible for a small group of pirates and pirates to capture there, but there are more than a thousand garrisons on it, no matter how wasteful Cui Dabing's guy is, he will not be defeated by a hundred and ten pirates, right?

"My lord, the last general is not lying at all, although the pirate is not many in number, but it is fierce, and more than a thousand garrisons on the island have been defeated! If it weren't for the general's caution, seeing the difference from afar, and sending a small boat around the island from the south to find out the situation, I am afraid that he would not have been able to come back. Li Wanhu said with palpitations.

"How many pirates are there, how many ships?"

Caution? Actually, it's timid, right? Jin Youshan scolded secretly in his heart, his subordinates don't look at the tall and big people, but they are timid, otherwise how could they see the enemy from a distance and change their path? He also sent a small boat to investigate, but it was clear that he didn't even have the courage to engage in troops.

However, the Jin Temperance Envoy didn't care so much, the imperial court's naval army was not originally used to fight, and it was already a great achievement to be able to find out the situation.

"They were eleven clippers in total, each with about thirty people, and it is said that there were also a small number of firearms, and the garrison on the island was defeated by firearms."

"Firearms! Sizzle...... "Jin Youshan gasped, no wonder there are many people on the island and can't beat people, it turns out that it is really a pirate from Daming, and he still carries this kind of sharp weapon."

"Aren't they leaving?" This kind of enemy must not be provoked with the right water battalion, and the best solution is that the other party has enough scourge on the island, leave by himself, and then the golden temperance envoy can lead the army to recover the lost territory.

"It's not like I'm leaving, but I'm going to build a walled city, as if I'm going to use this place as a nest." Li Wanhu shook his head, he was not very courageous, but he did things carefully, and he heard the situation on the island clearly.

"These damn thieves, why did they let Ben get into this bad luck? Li Wanhu, you have done a good job and made great contributions to the imperial court. After scolding twice and feeling sorry for himself a few more words, the golden temperance envoy suddenly praised Li Wanhu a few words, as if commending him for his outstanding performance in intelligence work.

"Thank you for the praise, the last general will definitely ...... in the future" It is said that it is a sin not to fight when encountering the enemy, but the merit and demerit all depend on what the leader says, since the boss praises himself, it is also agreed, Li Wanhu is also a big bone when he hears the words, so he will show his loyalty, and take a few sycophants by the way.

"So, you will personally go to the Daofu Mansion and tell the Lord Yin in detail about this matter, and then let the Lord decide."

"Huh?" Li Wanhu's face turned white, Lord Temperance was really slippery, he was waiting for himself here, and he was obviously going to be a scapegoat to pass on the bad news to Lord Fu Yin, which was obviously to raise first and then suppress wow!

There was no danger along the way, the joy of Jiren's natural appearance was gone, and what remained in Li Wanhu's heart was only a strong sadness.
