Jeju Island, Hallasan Mountain, is not a stranger to Chu Fan.

That was still the previous life, Chu Fan took advantage of the summer vacation of his sophomore year to make an appointment with a few friends in the same dormitory, and played Jeju Island for more than half a month.

A heavenly place - this is Chu Fan's overall impression of Jeju Island.

But he never imagined that when he came to Jeju Island again, it would be more than 300 years ago!

The sun was setting behind the boat, and in the east, a black line was getting longer and longer, and a triangular shadow protruded in the center of the black line, which reflected the white clouds in the sky - the black line was Jeju Island, and the triangle was Mt. Halla.

"Hanna," standing on the starboard side of the "Dawn", Chu Fan muttered in a low voice, "Hanna?" Han people to get it? …… Is this what Heaven has revealed to me? ”

"Childe also knows that this mountain is called Halla Mountain?" His muttering was heard by Ling Ming behind him, who leaned over to him and asked.

"Hmm...... What I saw in the book," Chu Fan disguised, "Don't you hear that Li Taibai has a poem, 'Haike talks about Yingzhou, and the smoke and waves are faint and difficult to find', this Yingzhou is Halla Mountain...... I still prefer the name Halla. ”

Ling Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Childe Gaojian...... This Jeju is Yingju in the Tang Dynasty, also called Tamna Island...... Tang fashion is an independent country, called Tamna country, the surname of the country is Gao...... During the Mongol Yuan period, it was removed from the country and belonged to Goryeo, and Jeju was set up. ”

Chu Fan looked at the thin Ling Ming, the latter's introduction to Jeju made Chu Fan extremely surprised, you must know that in this era, not to mention the history of North Korea, even the history of the flower planter, there are very few people who know - there is no time for scholars to ponder the art of making, and ordinary people can't read if they can't read.

How could this Ling Ming be so familiar with the history of North Korea? Well, it seems that there is a story again!

"Brother Ling, what else do you know about this Jeju Island?" Chu Fan changed his title, and he should be respectful to those who have stories.

"Don't dare to be a prince and call the eldest brother," Ling Mingcheng thanked him in fear, and then continued to introduce, "Jeju Island was a horse grazing land in the Mong Yuan period, and there was a military and civilian governor's office in Tamna...... Since the beginning of the dynasty, the Korean lord Yi Sung-gye has established himself on behalf of the royal family, and the soldiers and people of Tamna have surrendered to Korea...... Under Jeju Musha, there are still two counties of Dajing and Jeongyi...... Jeju has a radius of more than 300 li, with 7,400 households and 22,000 Dingkou. ”

The more Chu Fan listened, the more strange he became, this Ling Ming even knew the size of Jeju Island, and he was not a Korean generalist.

In ancient demographics, the family was the unit, that is, the number of households, and Dingkou was a person with the ability to work, and in the Ming Dynasty, people over 16 and below 60 were counted as Chengding, and it is estimated that the standard of North Korea is the same.

Therefore, according to Ling Ming's introduction, there should be 7,400 households and 22,000 households on Jeju Island, and the population of Jeju Island should be more than 30,000 people, counting the old and young who have not entered the statistics.

But when Chu Fan asked Ling Ming for confirmation of this number, he was denied by the latter, "Childe, this is not right...... There is also a special feature of Jeju Mu in North Korea, that is, this place is a place of exile, and every year, almost six or seven hundred people will be exiled here for rebellious obedience to the party, great traitors, and thieves in the rivers and lakes. ”

Chu Fan snorted lightly, this situation is similar to Shamen Island in the Song Dynasty.

"So there should be more than 40,000 people on Jeju Island?" Chu Fan muttered.

"Exactly," Ling Ming nodded, "There are many prisoners, and the original Tamluo King Gao's clan is powerful and wealthy, and he is ready to move, this island is actually quite peaceful. ”

"Then the defenders of the island must be strong?" Chu Fan looked at Jeju County, who could vaguely see the outline of the city, and asked.

"The defenders on this island have two commanders, one south and one north, and according to the Korean military system, each commander is full of about 1,000 men...... What the combat power is is unknown. Ling knew everything.

Chu Fan said in his heart, North Korea has always followed the Ming Dynasty closely, and it is estimated that he will not be able to run away from this empty salary.

After understanding the basic situation, Chu Fan looked at Ling Ming and said tentatively, "Brother Ling, why do you know so much about the situation in North Korea?" ”

"Hui Gongzi," Ling Ming bowed, unable to see the look on his face clearly, "Before the villain came to Dengzhou, he was a tooth man of Jemulpo, and he traveled back and forth between Jemulpo and Seoul, and he knew a little bit about the situation in North Korea. ”

Can a tooth man find out how many soldiers are there on Jeju Island? This North Korean military affairs are too child's play.

But since he didn't want to say it, Chu Fan didn't plan to ask anything more - if he didn't say it, there would always be a problem not to say it.

Seeing from a distance that there seemed to be sails swaying on the pier in Jeju-gun, Ge Bi ordered all the sails to be fully hung, adjusted the angle, and galloped due east, and when night fell, he came to the harbor of Udodo Island in the east of Jeju Island and anchored - this is the third stop.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Chu Fan took Ge Bi, Chen Shangren and Liu Zhongwen ashore, of course, for the sake of insurance, the escort team also followed in full armor, based on the deep impression that Ling Ming left on Chu Fan from the first day, he called Ling Ming as well.

Ushijima is a small uninhabited island, most of the island is almost flat, and only a hill about 100 meters high stands near the sea in the south.

The flat land of the island is overgrown with weeds, which, according to Ge Bi, can reach knee-high in spring and summer; The grasslands are scattered with this sparse bush, and the hills on the south bank and their surroundings are forests, because of the wind blowing, whether it is the coniferous pines and cypresses, or the deciduous trees, they do not grow very tall; Small beasts can be seen in the grasslands, forests and bushes from time to time, and once Chu Fan also saw an animal that was suspected of being a fox, and before he could see it clearly, he slipped into the bushes and disappeared.

The place where the "Dawn" was anchored was a haven in the northeast corner of Niu Island, and Chu Fan and his party spent less than an hour crossing the entire Niu Island and came to the southwest corner, where there was a simple wharf, and there were several crooked shacks next to the wharf.

"Young Master," Ge Bi introduced, "this pier is a temporary resting place for fishermen on the big island. ”

Standing on the pier, Chu Fan looked at the outline of Jeju Island on the western skyline and the looming Halla Mountain, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart.

Isn't this Ushijima the best gift that God has given you?

An uninhabited island, with a great location, an excellent haven to build a dock, and a large area of flat land, it is a good place to build all kinds of workshops.

Thinking of this, Chu Fan turned around and glanced at everyone, "What do you think if we build a cigarette workshop here, what will be the reaction of Jeju County?" ”

Chen Shangren was silent - he really didn't have confidence in cigarettes.

Ge Bi was familiar with the situation here, and muttered, "Young master, in previous years, we stopped here temporarily, and those North Koreans turned a blind eye, even if they ran into the most money to buy the road...... If this is a long stay......"

"This is clearly an uninhabited desert island," Liu Zhongwen said indifferently, "Can Jeju County manage it?" ”

Chu Fan heard that he was unreliable, so he turned his gaze to Ling Ming.

I don't know what kind of answer this North Korean expert can bring him.
