The reinforcements from all walks of life felt very unbalanced after being happy, the siege of Laizhou was lifted, and the rebels escaped from the sea, and the most advantageous here seems to be the security army, not only occupying Dengzhou, but also occupying a large piece of territory such as Zhaoyuan, there must be a lot to loot in such a large place, and the rebels will always leave something behind when they run away.

Some unwilling officers and soldiers began to advance to the territory occupied by the security army, wanting to get a little more oil and water, but they did not expect that the security army showed unprecedented toughness. was so angry that everyone scolded Zhang Chu for being a poor thief hillbilly, who had never seen the world, and was he serious for a little thing.

Although there are many other officers and soldiers, no one wants to take the lead in sending them to death, think about it carefully, the only thing that really eliminated a large number of rebels in Shandong was the two battles of the security army in Dengzhou and Zhaoyuan, although the number of the security army is not large, this combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

It doesn't work to use force, and other officers and soldiers feel that they can use literature, at least everyone is much higher than Zhang Chu in terms of grade.

The officials who were sent to Zhaoyuan City to reason with Zhang Chu quickly retreated. They didn't see Zhang Chu, they only saw a little eunuch who was said to be the supervisor of the army, and a little eunuch who was full of loyalty and patriotism. If the main lord does not come forward, the evil breath of failure to reason cannot be swallowed like this.

So the struggle shifted to the court, and the ministers were still familiar with the court's struggle. The excerpts that exposed Zhang Chu were flying all over the sky, and it didn't take much effort to get rid of the reward that the emperor originally wanted to give Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu didn't have the heart to fight against these courtiers for profit at this time, and all his energy was now invested in the internal construction of the Shandong region of the security army.

The security army fought in Shandong, and there were more than 30,000 rebels who were captured in the early stage and surrendered in the end, and these people were not so easy to digest, Zhang Chu had no choice but to send all the officers in the rebel army to Shanxi to study, and at the same time secretly transferred a large number of cadres from Shanxi to educate and train the rebel soldiers.

In the process of training, Zhang Chu was pleased to find that many of these soldiers in Liaodong had been miners in mines, had participated in organized large-scale production, and had been recruited by Sun Yuanhua for professional military training, and their organizational discipline was far stronger than others. At the same time, they are more accustomed to being paid as soldiers than the soldiers who have been passed down from generation to generation, and they will work with whoever is paid, and they are more likely to accept the leadership of others.

Zhang Chu decided to select more than 10,000 elites from the surrendered rebels to enrich the security army. Locally recruited soldiers from Shandong are also being trained, and these people will be mixed with veterans of the security forces, and it will not take long for them to become qualified fighters under the guidance of veterans. And Zhang Chu deliberately broke the local concept in the army, the team can only take Zhang Chu as the core, and the subordinates obey the superiors, and there can be no small groups formed by fellow villagers, relatives and friends.

After absorbing the elite of the rebels, Zhang Chu organized the rest of the personnel to prepare to go to sea.

Zhang Chu looked at the big ships docked in the port, and thought to himself that he could transport so many people and horses at once thanks to Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua trained sailors in Dengzhou shipbuilding, and prepared to attack Houjin from the sea, this idea was right, but he didn't expect a storm to destroy all his efforts, after Kong Youde's rebellion, this fleet fell into the hands of the rebels, not only with the ability to transport soldiers, but also these ships are prepared for battle, and the ships themselves are equipped with weapons such as artillery, and the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Later, Kong Youde used a trick to deceive the Tianjin Navy Division, captured a number of troop carriers, so that the ability of sea transportation was greatly increased, in the original history Kong Youde withdrew from Dengzhou, not only transported away more than 13,000 rebels and their families, but also took a large number of artillery and supplies, and traveled on overseas islands for a long time before defecting to Houjin.

Zhang Chu ordered the fleet brought by Yang Liu from the south not only to increase the transportation capacity, but also to ensure the safety of the entire fleet with strong force.

Everything was ready, the personnel were arranged, the order of departure from the port was arranged, and the huge fleet sailed out of the port, and their goal was Jeju Island overseas.

Jeju Island is a large island in the DPRK mainland, more than 160 miles away from the mainland, about one-tenth of the area of Shandong Province, although it is not large, it is still not a problem to live hundreds of thousands of people.

Zhang Chu's decision to enter Jeju Island is mainly because of the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, North Korea as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty is still very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty by Huang Taiji, North Korea also sent troops to fight with the Ming army and the Later Jin, but the Ming Army's performance against the Later Jin was too poor, of course, the North Korean army was worse than the Ming Army, the charge and killing of the Later Jin Army made North Korea feel cold, and the Ming Army failed many times, so that North Korea lost its backer, and had no choice but to give in to the Later Jin and agree to form an alliance with the Later Jin, Tribute is sent to Houjin every year. This alliance has always been reluctant for North Korea, so the annual tribute is not enough, which caused great dissatisfaction in Hou Jin, who threatened to send troops to attack North Korea. North Korea is in a contradiction at this time, on the one hand, Houjin is too strong, North Korea is powerless to resist, and at the same time fantasizes that the Ming Dynasty can come to save them, but this hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. There was a split within the Joseon Dynasty, with most people believing that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and only a few people still insisted on the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty. Whether to invest in Houjin or to do the last stick is inconclusive.

The huge fleet led by Yangliu finally came to the port of Jeju Island, and the huge warship immediately attracted the attention of the North Koreans on the island.

With this operation, Zhang Chu equipped all the Ming army uniforms and flags to the soldiers in the fleet. The Koreans saw a fleet of Ming troops coming straight to the port, which made them wonder what to do for a while, and they did not understand why the Ming Dynasty had come to this remote port.

As the leader of the fleet, Yang Liu did not have much hope that the military uniforms of the Ming army could play a big role, and the whole process of landing ordered the team to be carried out in full accordance with the procedures of the landing operation, and the big ship stopped outside the port and opened the cannon window, raised the gun muzzle and aimed at the coast, only a few small boats carrying soldiers rushed to the shore quickly, seeing their menacing appearance, the people on the shore avoided one after another, the boat docked, and the soldiers on the ship quickly went ashore to establish a defensive position, and sent a signal to the follow-up troops, It didn't take long for the signal to come, the commanding heights of the port and other strategic points were controlled, and the big ships outside the port were relieved to sail into the port slowly, and the security forces of the ship docking brigade got off the ship and lined up on the pier, and then quickly drove towards Jeju Island.

The officials and soldiers in the port were dumbfounded, not understanding how these Ming soldiers could appear here.

They wanted to fight back, but they faced the team of their own suzerain, and more importantly, the huge warships and dark muzzles of the opponent dispelled their thoughts.

The North Korean port official was quite loyal to his duty, did not run away, and was found by the vanguard of the security army, and was taken to wait for the arrival of Yang Liu on the dock, and the only question the official wanted to ask now was: "What are you doing here?" (To be continued.) )
