197. Rival "Chance Encounter"
The area of Tamna Island is not small, Liang Shanzhai raided the port city, and only occupied a stronghold, Tuo Junjing surrendered, but the Tamna Star Lord fled.
He fled to the rest of the island, where he was organizing his army and preparing for a counterattack - if he shouted twice in the distance with broken brass and iron and then fled in all directions.
At this time, Lu Jinyi began to regret that he had brought fewer people.
He brought more than 2,000 people and scattered them on this island with a circumference of more than 400 li and 8,000 square miles, and his control was obviously insufficient, and on average, there was not even a single person per square mile.
How to solve this matter, he had no choice for a while, so he gathered all the leaders together to ask for advice.
"This matter is easy to hear, our own brothers cannot be scattered, otherwise it will be taken by the natives, and this Tamna city must have 1,500 people left. The rest of the brothers, occupy three or five more points, choose the danger to defend it, appoint those Japanese as officials, and let them take the natives to cultivate and graze for military funds! Yu Yang deserved to be a "military advisor", and immediately came up with an idea.
Everyone laughed, the performance of the Japanese in the past few days has made everyone see the details clearly, these guys are dog-legged by nature, groveling to the Song people one by one, arrogant to the Koreans, and even more like wolves and tigers to the Tamluo natives.
"The Japanese are not necessarily reliable." Someone said.
"As long as we outperform them, they will be as honest as dogs!" Yu Yang disagreed.
"But there are still some troubles, how to deal with those Koreans, they can't be killed and killed, and they can't be released!" Ho Shun Dao.
"How can I not kill it, according to my temperament, all of them have been cut down, just spread the first word to the whole island, so that the natives know what fear is!" Gao Hun glared at Yu Yang very dissatisfied: "It's just you dog head, you can't kill this and that, if you don't know your details, I think you were sent by the government!" ”
Yu Yang's face turned pale by his glare, this tall leg kills people like numbness, and even eats people's hearts, Yu Yang has always been a little afraid of him: "Second brother Gao, it's not that I don't allow you to kill, if you really kill them, the Goryeo Dynasty will send soldiers to come, how should we deal with it?" Keeping them is just a hostage, if the Goryeo Dynasty doesn't care about their life and death, it's not too late for us to kill them! ”
"What kind of bullshit is the Goryeo Dynasty, there are a bunch of local chickens and tile dogs, how many comes, how many can I kill!" Gao spat angrily.
But no one thought he was a reckless man, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do what he was going to be the leader.
He just wants to fight, and Lu Jinyi's subordinates can fight him the most, and the more he fights, the more Lu Jinyi has to rely on him.
"It's okay to keep these Koreans for the time being, but now the more important thing is to send people out to collect taxes, I have a plan, we might as well use the natives, let's appoint some chiefs from among the natives, and let them recruit men, go to collect taxes, grain, gold, silver, cloth, and everything that is useful must be collected. If there is leather and the like, it must also be requisitioned and prepared to be transported to Japan or the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for iron tools and ships. If the Koreans really fight, we must have enough swords, guns, bows and arrows, and we must have a city defense......"
Yu Yang ignored Gao Hun now, he crossed his fingers and talked about the urgent things now, but there was a head to the truth.
Gao Hun felt that it was not interesting, and was about to interject, but was held back by Lu Jinyi.
"In short, now there are two major events, one is to collect taxes, and the other is to build a city, brother, those Goryeo people are using it to build a city, under the whip, I don't believe they are disobedient!"
"A military advisor is indeed a military advisor, and it is really my great luck to have the assistance of a military advisor!" Lu Jinyi got up abruptly and said sharply: "According to what the military advisor said, in the future, the most important thing for us is to collect taxes and build cities. Let the Japanese do the tax collection, Yu Junshi, and Brother He Shun, you are staring at; Brother Gao and I stared at the construction of the city, and drove the Koreans and natives to do it! ”
"The Japanese? With the temper of these guys, they have to scrape the ground and fill their pockets! He Shun said in surprise.
Yu Yang smiled: "Why worry about this, no matter how much the Japanese scrape, as long as they are on this island, they will not fall into our hands in the end, and when the time comes, we can cut down the Japanese, just to appease the resentment of the natives!" ”
Everyone first gasped, and then raised their thumbs one after another, praising Yu Yang's clever strategy. Yu Yang himself was also triumphant, and he gave it up again and again.
Since the discussion had been decided, the people of Liangshanzhai, who had been living happily in Tamna Port for three days, suddenly moved again, especially those Japanese, who were sent back swords and swords, and were given the right to tax - this is a thing invented by Yu Yang, and it is said that the source of inspiration was also Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan's cotton cloth chamber of commerce, and asked him to divide the entire Tamna into ten areas, and then these Japanese included taxes, and each district levied a certain amount of grain, cloth, livestock, and leather, and the part that exceeded the quota belonged to the Japanese.
These Japanese are also human spirits, and immediately supported a group of natives, using these natives, rampage, except for a few cities heavily defended by the Tamna army, most of the places were "plowed" by them, and the number of Tamna natives who died directly or indirectly in their hands exceeded 5,000. You must know that the population of the entire Tamna is only 100,000, and the Tamna and Goryeo people killed by Lu Jinyi in the battle to seize the island are only more than 200.
The whole Tamna was made into a miasma by these Japanese, but their actions were fruitful, and the looted property was converted into copper coins, which amounted to 300,000 yuan, and if it was transported to the Great Song Dynasty, the value could even be doubled. In particular, the horses on the island, although they are short and too to ride, are full of endurance, which can supplement the lack of large livestock in the Great Song Dynasty.
If you add the private wealth of the Japanese, I am afraid that the number is as high as five or six hundred thousand!
This small island of more than 100,000 people, you can get so much wealth in one raid, so that Lu Jinyi and the others are very happy.
"It's no wonder that everyone wants to be an official, it's so easy to make a fortune as an official, our brothers are already fast enough to steal money openly and secretly, but it's not as good as being an official and scraping the ground!" Gao Hun's eyes were also shining at this time, and he shouted that he wanted to exchange with He Shun.
Taxation was a windfall, and on the contrary, they built new cities, and even now they have not even built a waist wall.
"How can that happen, it was the Lu family's brother who handed it over to me at the beginning!" He Shun naturally didn't do it.
Gao Hun looked down on this guy very much, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to be tough, but in the end he was persuaded by everyone to leave. Lu Jinyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why be in such a hurry, this Tamluo will be our brother's inheritance from now on, and I will send you there next time I levy taxes!" ”
"I won't be able to recruit so much next time!" Gao Hun was still unwilling.
Lu Jinyi was still waiting to be persuaded again, when someone suddenly shouted: "Boat, boat!" ”
Lu Jinyi quickly stepped up to the high place and looked overseas, only to see a ship in the distance with full sails and heading towards the port.
Seeing this sailboat style, Li Qing shouted: "It's a Haizhou ship, it's a Haizhou ship!" ”
This kind of boat with soft sails is now known as the Haizhou boat. When Lu Jinyi heard this, his brows furrowed tightly: "Zhou Quan's people? ”
"Zhou Quan has been staring at Tamna recently, these Haizhou ships were sent by him, and in the past six months, he has been to Tamna at least more than ten times to measure hydrology and draw waterways!" Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, "In his fleet, there are people I know well, and the chart we came to Tamna this time was given to me by my acquaintance friend!" ”
Lu Jinyi was shocked, he wanted to use Tamna as a base, if he had the opportunity, he would go to Haizhou to harass him, but now it seems that Zhou Quan's ship came to harass him first.
He turned his mind and asked the leader of the naval army in Liangshanzhai, "Can we surround this ship at sea?" ”
Without waiting for the leader of the navy to speak, Li Qing shook his head and said: "The Haizhou ships are more flexible than ours, their bow and bottom are as sharp as knives, which is easy to break the waves, so their speed is faster than our round-headed square-headed boats!" ”
In other words, if the ship realizes that something is wrong and turns around, it will be difficult for them to catch up.
"I have a plan, the Haizhou ships don't come to Tamna once or twice, they usually come to the shore to replenish, why don't we pretend as usual, wait for them to dock at the port, and then suddenly attack, killing the enemy in one fell swoop?" Yuyang Road.
Lu Jinyi was overjoyed to hear this, and he turned to Xiao Yi, after all, Xiao Yi was the person he trusted the most and he had always been flexible, so he wanted to hear Xiao Yi's opinion.
Xiao Yi felt a little hairy in his heart.
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Outside, those of us who have met with Zhou Quan's subordinates, it's best not to come out, so as not to be recognized!" ”
Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Lu Jinyi made a decision: "Okay, just do it, Brother Li, you bring someone forward, even if someone knows you, they will only think that you are a maritime businessman." ”
Li Qing responded, and Lu Jinyi said again: "Brother He, Brother Gao, the two of you are dark and bright, each with his own people, and he is ambushing near the dock, just waiting for my order." ”
He Shun and Gao Hun should also be right, and then, Lu Jinyi arranged the affairs of the rest of the people, except for Yu Yang, who was arranged to follow him, everyone had their own tasks.
Even the two Japanese leaders, Takaya and Ishihashi, were given the task of keeping an eye on the Koreans and preventing them from changing.
Everything was ready to stop, and the Haizhou ship was getting closer and closer, and even everyone could read the handwriting on the sails.
"East China Sea Jia......" Li Qing's expression changed after seeing the handwriting on this ship clearly: "When we went to sea, I heard that Zhou Quan took the East China Sea Jia to send the Great Song Dynasty delegation to Liao...... Could it be that the mission has returned? ”
"No way, the mission will not return until next spring!" Yuyang Road.
The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.
Even more eccentric than them is Lu Jinyi, if Zhou Quan is really on this ship, and there is also a delegation of the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State on board, then this time, he will get a big one!
Especially Zhou Quan!
Lu Jinyi raised his eyes and looked at Donghai Jia, wishing that he had clairvoyance, and he could see whether Zhou Quan was on the boat.
