Chapter Ninety-Eight: Slow Work Produces Meticulous Work

By the time He Xi arrived in Busan, the weather in Goryeo was already a little cold.

And the city of Busan has become different.

To be honest, before that, Busan was also a major transportation route between Goryeo and Japan. But that's about it. But in the midst of this seismic upheaval. The center of gravity and the layout of the city on the Goryeo Peninsula have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although it has not yet been said, it is determined down. However, Kaegyeong, and even the future Seoul area, as well as the whole of North Goryeo, will not be in the same administrative district as the south. In terms of jurisdiction, it is divided by division. The southern part of Goryeo was directly managed by the Marquis of Yeongcheon, and of course, it was entrusted to the civil officials.

To the north of Goryeo, Liaodong was responsible.

Of course, because of geographical factors, He Xi didn't manage much, but just asked the officials to send a few officials to take over the places. He Xi didn't arrange his own people. It doesn't matter if you come here. He Xi only wanted the resources of Goryeo and Japan. There is no interest in managing here. Second, the benefits cannot be accounted for by He Xi, and dividends must be distributed to some people in the back.

Needless to say, North Goryeo.

The heart of South Goryeo is no other than Busan.

First, it was the foundation built by the Japanese, and secondly, it was the best starting point for the army to attack Japan. So, Fu Youde built it on the basis of the original Japanese and renovated it. It has become the base of the army today.

Of course, the direction of renovation is not the city wall. Not even the city walls are needed, but the port. At this point, there are some heroes who have seen the same thing as Fu Youde.

Shandong, Liaodong, Goryeo, Japan, these places are connected by sea, and the cost is much lower than opening up the land route.

So, when He Xi came to Busan, he saw such a scene, hundreds of thousands of troops, who had already recruited people, built countless ports along the coastline, and from a high place, the dense large ships and small boats were almost invisible.

It seems that there is no shortage of ships for the conquest of the sun. But He Xi knew. Many of these ships were conscripted from the south. Something is ready to take root here. For example, the Fang family. Some of them can't stay in the north all the time, and they also have to take care of the business in the south.

He Xi's gaze swept over the ships and saw a castle high up. The banner of the Marquis of Yingchuan fluttered high. It is the place where Fu Youde is.

Goryeo has been fond of building mountain fortresses since ancient times. And Fu Youde's Chinese army was placed in this mountain city.

Fu Zhong welcomed He Xi into the big tent of the Chinese army from afar.

The guests and hosts on both sides sat down and exchanged a few words. Fu Zhong was amused and left, guarding outside, not allowing everyone to come in.

Fu Youde said: "Lord He, what is the so-called matter when you come this time? ”

He Xi said: "Without him, two things, the first thing, this is the military list I drafted, please look at the old general, and there is one more thing, it's not too late to read the list." Then He Xi presented the list.

Fu Youde took it over and took a closer look, and then sighed: "I have fought a lifetime of war, and I have never fought such a rich war, ordinary soldiers, in a year, at least four or five sets of clothes, tsk, really rich, the court is really rich." ”

The issuance of military uniforms in the army, in Fu Youde's opinion, this is a very strange thing in itself. As mentioned before, many military uniforms are provided by the soldiers. Count it among the money, and he who is a little more generous. That's the release of horses in the army, let the soldiers' mothers do it themselves, and the extra is considered welfare.

Now it is directly distributed ready-to-wear, and there are several sets a year. This made Fu Youde never see it.

He Xi said: "I brought more than 100 sets of ready-to-wear, divided into five models, small, medium, large, oversized, extra-large. Please also ask the old general to let the army see if it is suitable or not. ”

Fu Youde said: "Just leave this matter to Zhong'er." I am still relieved that Lord He is doing things. Ordnance, food, herbs, and even gauze were sufficient. And even a lot more. There are just two things. It needs to be supplemented. ”

He Xi said: "Old general, please speak? ”

Fu Youde said: "Wine and meat." ”

When He Xi heard this, he suddenly felt a little difficult.

Wine needs grain to brew, and grain in Liaodong is generally in short supply. And meat, it's even harder.

To be honest, meat, Liaodong can't be said to be lacking. Guyin Liaodong was originally a place suitable for farming and grazing, and animal husbandry had a foundation. It's not hard to get some meat. But the problem is that the family has a lot of money, and the wool is not counted, and the loss of transporting sheep from Liaodong to Busan is too great.

He Xi secretly said in his heart: "Let's go back and see how to deal with it." ”

He Xi said: "I'll write it down." Turn back and report to the old general. ”

Fu Youde said; "The following matter, is it the matter that Feng Sheng is looking for you?"

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the old general." ”

Fu Youde said: "He didn't want to hide it from anyone. It's for His Majesty. However, it is no wonder that he is. Song Guogong's position in Beiping seems to be the first in the army, but he is dissatisfied from top to bottom. The Northern Expedition is not just his business. It's also a lot of people's business. ”

"If I'm still in Beiping now, then there will be one more person looking for you."

He Xi sighed and said, "Old General Mingjian." ”

The imperial court released a million troops on the northern front, which is an arrogant general. The person who wants to make meritorious contributions, is Feng Sheng alone? Even thinking about it now, maybe Feng Sheng is the one who has the least desire to make meritorious contributions. Yes, Feng Sheng is to seal the wolf Juxu and destroy this dynasty. But there is no credit for this. He, Feng Sheng, is not Song Guogong. Or with this credit, Feng Sheng can be the king of Song?

But the soldiers below are different.

They all hope to make contributions in this big war and seal their wives and sons. A person's thoughts, nothing? But up and down this idea. It's not easy to do.

The reason why Feng Sheng left his post without permission and visited He Xi. It may not be that it is not a handle for Zhu Yuanzhang. Let Zhu Yuanzhang simply change himself.

In this torturous position, who loves to do and who does?

Fu Youde said; "Feng Sheng has already played the imperial court and returned to Nanjing to face the saint. What did you tell him? ”

He Xi naturally told him about his discussion with Feng Sheng. Said; "Old general, I came to you today just to be sure. In the first half of next year, there will only be these supplies here in Goryeo, which will not be enough. What does Song Guogong think? What do the people over there in Peking think? It's all secondary. After all, we are on the orders of the imperial court. The order of the imperial court, before it is easier, must be given priority to Japan. ”

Fu Youde said: "It's okay. I've been watching it for a while. On the Japanese side, it has never been a problem to hit Japan. The question is, pacify Japan. It's better if you come with these supplies, and if you don't come, it's not that you can't fight. I don't know anything about the rear. But there is enough for military supplies. ”

He Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you to the old general." ”

It is impossible for Fu Youde to directly support Feng Sheng and He Xi's ideas. The three feudal officials are engaged in tandem, which is already very taboo. Therefore, his statement is not to compete for Liaodong materials. Leave room for future Northern Expeditions.

Fu Youde said: "They are all in the army. I'm not in the way of others. ”

He Xi said: "Then I will leave." ”

Fu Youde was surprised and said, "So urgent? ”

He Xi said: "In more than a month, it will be cold. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get there. So it's a step ahead. ”

Fu Youde sighed and said, "Yes." But it's a pity. If you stay, you'll be able to see the kids. ”

He Xi listened and said, "It's a pity." Said to the old general that thieves are the common thing. It is a wonder not to break the thief, and in that case, why should I stay here and watch the ordinary. ”

Fu Youde said: "Hahaha, you mouth is really flamboyant. ”

Fu Youde hurriedly sent He Xi away without mentioning it. But what Fu Youde said is also true. After such a long time of preparation. The first wave of the Ming attack on Japan began just as winter approached.

First, hurricanes are rare in winter. This is a lesson learned from the Yuan Dynasty's attack on Japan. Let's see if there's any such thing as a kamikaze.

Second, I was worried that it would be too cold and affect the physical strength of the sergeant. Just prepare to occupy one or several important places in Japan before winter comes. Wait for the spring flowers to bloom before continuing to fight.
