Chapter 201: Ma Han Comes to Envoy

After the expeditionary fleet left, the provisional governor of Jeju Island, Wang Wei, immediately ordered the inhabitants of the island to be gathered, and he needed to explain the rules to the thousands of natives. In fact, there is no need to explain anything, since the war, the residents of the island have long been frightened, and they dare not have any other thoughts except to obey the orders of the Jin army.

"Lord Duwei, why do the people here look so much like Xianbei people? Are they the descendants of the Xianbei people? A soldier who joined the army looked at the local natives who were almost naked, and asked Wang Wei with some puzzlement.

"How is that possible? It is hundreds of nautical miles away from Liaodong to here, and the Xianbei people have no sea boats, how can they run here? And even if they are looking for a new habitat, will the rich Samhan choose this place where birds don't? In fact, Wang Wei also muttered a little in his heart, but on the surface, he still showed disapproval.

"Join the army, go and organize the local youth, let them help build the camp, and don't forget to send out patrols to let everyone be on guard!"

"Your Excellency, you're too careful, aren't you? The people on the island have long been frightened by us, and even their lord has been transferred, so what threat can there be. The participant said indifferently.

"Don't talk nonsense, you think this lord will take these natives into account? This official is worried about the threat from Samhan, which is only 50 nautical miles away from Samhan Peninsula, and if it attracts the opponent's army, do you think we can stop the other party with our current strength? ”

After speaking, Wang Wei looked at the northeast direction and was a little worried in his heart, in the past two years, with the expansion of the scope of activities of the Great Jin Navy, it has aroused the vigilance of various forces on the Samhan Peninsula, among which the most powerful Baekje and Mahan have strengthened the defense of the west coast respectively. The other party's purpose is obvious, that is, to deal with Dajin.

Five days later, another group of Dajin soldiers and civilians landed on Jeju Island under the cover of the Second Fleet of the Navy. In view of the barren and desolate place, the grass is full of wilds, and there are few people. Emperor Sima Shu then ordered Qingzhou to levy 30,000 local people in Qingzhou and go to Tuntian on Jeju Island to develop.

In the following three months, 30,000 people of Dajin landed on Jeju Island in batches, during which time the infrastructure construction of Jeju Island was basically completed with the help of local natives. Sima Shu personally issued an edict to collect thousands of local indigenous families to stay on Jeju Island. As a people of the household. Became a permanent laborer for the subsequent establishment of the Jeju Island base.

The Jin army did not take extreme measures against the local natives, as long as the other party worked actively according to the requirements, they all had the opportunity to become official subjects of the Great Jin. The reason for this is mainly because the population of the Great Jin Dynasty is too small. Don't talk about moving out. It's just that it's not enough to be local. Take the 30,000 people who migrated to Jeju Island. It was still Sima Shu who wanted to come out of the hands of Qingzhou Thorn Shi.

In the future, as the area under the control of the Great Jin Dynasty continued to expand, the natural increase in population would certainly not be able to meet the military requirements, and in this case, some of the subjects of the conquering kingdom would be left. in order to ensure the needs of hard labor.

In order to prevent the people on the island from escaping and revealing the news, Wang Wei ordered the natives to be centrally managed, and those who did not want to go or those who were slow to move were put to death. At this time, there were more than 10,000 indigenous people on Jeju Island, and he was mainly engaged in labor and hard labor.

The Great Jin Dynasty was establishing a large military station on Jeju Island, stockpiling various war materials and deploying nearly 10,000 standing troops. At the same time, the Fourth Detachment of the Second Fleet of the Navy was officially relocated here, and Wang Wei established the front line of Jeju Island here to unify the command of all military forces on the island.

Just as the Great Jin Dynasty was opening up territory on Jeju Island and carrying out military construction, the situation in northern Liaodong changed dramatically. In the second year of Hongwu, when Liaodong Murong Diao expelled Cui Yu, after months of preparation, he launched a campaign against Goguryeo. In this battle, Goguryeo and the Murong tribe fought several times in Lelang County, and finally Goguryeo was defeated by the brave and warlike Xianbei people.

After this battle, Goguryeo's strength was greatly damaged, not only lost Lelang County, but also Obifang County was annexed by Baekje in the south. After Baekje annexed Obibang-gun, it grew in strength and became the most powerful power in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

After Baekje digested Obibang, they wisely did not continue to expand northward, because Baekje knew that with Baekje's military strength, it was okay to deal with Goguryeo, but if they wanted to deal with the powerful Murong tribe, they might not be able to deal with it. Under these circumstances, Baekje turned to frequent military use against Samhan.

One of the most threatened is Mahan, located in the western part of the peninsula, who was once the most powerful tribe in Samhan and was revered as King Jin by the various tribes. Strictly speaking, Samhan is not a country, but a military tribal alliance.

Wang Wei led part of the fleet to return to Jeju Island after receiving the imperial court's commendation in Qingju, and at the same time arrived with additional officers and weapons. During his time in Weihaiwei, Qingzhou, Wang Wei, along with many naval officers, received commendation orders from the imperial court.

Zhu Zheng was officially promoted to the secretary of the Admiralty with the rank of lieutenant general, and the Dajin Navy officially entered the eyes of everyone. The two fleets undertook the eastern coastal defense of the Great Jin Dynasty, and although the navy was not expanded in size, the imperial court still allocated funds to order five fourth-class sail battleships and one three-ship battleship from the Laoshan Shipyard to replace some of the Fuchuan warships in the Second Fleet.

At the same time, Emperor Sima Shu also issued a promotion order, and Wang Wei also took two steps forward with the generals, and was directly promoted to the commander of the naval detachment, and concurrently served as the governor of the Marine Corps and the commander of Jeju Island. At the same time, a large number of young naval officers have taken up leading posts, greatly enriching the leading organs of the navy.

In the next few days, Wang Wei was busy with reorganization and joint training. During this period, he also sent some patrol ships to patrol the waters around Jeju Island. In some cases, Wang Wei also sent some ships to patrol the waters of the Whale Sea (present-day Benhai) and investigate the hydrological situation.

At first, it was safe, but half a month later, a fierce alarm suddenly sounded over Jeju Island, and Wang Wei, who was urging his subordinates to train on the island, was shocked when he heard it. Just as he was about to ask questions, he saw a naval herald rushing towards this side, and reported loudly: "My lord, I have found an unknown ship approaching due north!" ”

Wang Wei's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he thought secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Sanhan really has the courage to come and fight for Jeju Island?" If it weren't for Samhan, who would it be? ”

Wang Wei was about to give the order to meet the battle, and listened to his subordinate Zhao Huancheng's words: "My lord, although Sanhan has a large population, their navy is not strong enough. If it's really the other party's offense, we don't need to panic, just drive them away. But Xia Guan Thief thought that Samhan should not be so reckless. ”

"In the past two years, we have been in much closer contact with Samhan by sea, and the other side is very aware of our strength, and under normal circumstances, the other side will never dare to provoke us. In addition, Jeju Island is a terra nullius land and is not under the jurisdiction of Samhan, so they do not have any moral advantage, which makes it even more difficult for the other side to start a war. ”

"In Zhao Duwei's opinion, what is the matter with this visit?"

"In my humble opinion, I am afraid that the other party has come to ask for help. At the just-concluded military meeting, didn't the Military Intelligence Agency just report that Samhan's northern Baekje is on the rise? I'm afraid Samhan won't be able to resist the invasion from Baekje, so I'm ready to ask for help from our Korea! ”

"Well, Du Wei is reasonable, in this case, let's go, let's go and meet the envoys of Sanhan! Also, let the brothers not let their guard down! ”

When the incoming ship got closer and closer, the lookout finally confirmed that the incoming ship was the ship of Samhan, Malaysia, and Korea. The scale of this fleet flying the Mahan flag is not large, there are only three ships in total, and the largest hull is less than 20 meters long, which is not as large as the Cangshan ship used as a patrol in the Great Jin Navy.

When the visitor was about to approach Jeju Island, he slowed down and kept waving flags towards the island to indicate that the visitor had no ill intentions.

After seeing the banner, Wang Wei nodded and said: "Sure enough, Zhao Duwei was right, and ordered the brothers to lower their vigilance and prepare to welcome the envoy." ”

At this time, the Ma Han side finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the Jin army on Jeju Island had let go of the interception, saying that it was really uncomfortable to be pointed at by the muzzle of the black hole. Zhao Huancheng guessed that this was indeed Ma Han's request for help, and this time King Chen (the supreme leader of Ma Han was honored as King Chen by the tribes of Sanhan) sent a tribal leader to act as an envoy to prepare to go to Dajin to ask for assistance.

"Lord Chenzhi, do you think the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty will help us?" The deputy envoy stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the approaching shore, and the crowd was getting clearer and clearer, and asked a little worriedly.

"Who knows? If there was definite news, we would have gone straight to Luoyang a long time ago, how could we come here? ”

It turns out that Mahan is now facing a growing threat from Baekje, and in order to survive, they have to seek the help of Dajin. However, in the past two years, the two sides have only been in contact with each other in trade, and he Ma Han has not officially declared himself a vassal to the Great Jin. Ma Han Qunchen was afraid that the Great Jin would not allow it, so they thought of Jeju Island here.

Due to overseas trade, Ma and Han are very familiar with the Dajin Navy and have dealt with both sides several times. Coming here is nothing more than to get through the naval relationship, so that the other party can say a good word for them in front of the Great Jin Emperor.

Half an hour later, the Mahan envoy finally landed on Jeju Island, and looking at the Dajin soldiers patrolling back and forth in the port, the Mahan people couldn't help but sigh, if Mahan also had such a strong military force, how could they be afraid of the threat of Baekje?

"Huh? Isn't this the Lord Chanchi? How did you get to Jeju Island? Wang Wei couldn't help but ask after seeing the comer, he had escorted the ship to Mahan, dealt with the comer, and knew that the other party was a powerful minister second only to King Chen, and it seemed that the other party attached great importance to this trip to the Great Jin.

"The foreign minister has seen the general of Shangbang!" As soon as he came up, the envoy of Ma Han gave a big salute to Wang Wei, and his posture was very low, so he had to come like this if he couldn't ask someone to do something.

Wang Wei attaches great importance to Ma Han's request, and he feels that this is the opportunity for Dajin to intervene in the hometown of Sanhan. If the three Hans can be conquered, the Great Jin can threaten the Hu people in Liaodong from the east, and in the future, the army will be able to encircle and annihilate the Xianbei people in Liaodong from the east and west, and take the initiative strategically.

Three days later, Wang Wei personally arranged for a ship to escort the Ma Han envoy to Dajin! (To be continued......)
