Chapter 398: Embarking on the Way Home
Chao Gai has been on the island for more than a month, and it is time to go back. But before that, he accompanied his wife on a tour of the island, and by the way, he toured everywhere.
The first is the gold mine near Yingzhou Mountain, which has been excavated during this period of time, and has gained a lot. After the evacuation of the Guards Battalion, it was officially formed as a mining site. It was garrisoned by a battalion of soldiers sent by the Jeju Island Guards. Jibei Prefecture sentenced Sitian eunuch Pu Wenying to be responsible, and the yamen took over the mining.
The construction of two water villages in the north and south of Jeju Island, and two dry villages in the east and west were gradually completed. It was jointly stationed by the Jeju Island garrison and the naval division battalion stationed on the island.
In addition, a garrison of 3,000 troops in the southeast of the island has been formed. Iron Fist Chen Yun will lead the team to train every day, and the strictness is not as strict as that of the field army.
The main task is to be responsible for guarding the military horse farm, which can also be regarded as the island reserve. The Jibei City Defense Battalion (1,000 people) and the Public Security Brigade (300) were also organized by the government and the garrison generals to recruit personnel for training.
Both Han Chinese and Tamna people can participate.
In addition to the comprehensive military strength, Jibei City has planned commercial areas, residential areas, handicraft areas, etc. The public school has been completed to enroll students. The talents recruited by Chaojiazhuang play a role and open training courses for all ages. Zhao Yan also served in the academy, teaching his people to learn Chinese.
Everything on the island is developing for the better.
Chao Gai not only inspected various military places on the island, but also visited Jibei City to give guidance accompanied by Wen Huanzhang, Wen Zhongrong and other officials.
The bureaucratic system of Jibei Province was completely settled.
Taishou Wen Huanzhang, Pu Wenying, the main Bo Gao Changxian, Confucius Zhao Yan, and other officials are mostly served by secretaries, building a basic framework.
Jibei Prefecture Medical Office, Chief Officer, Taiyi Mu Jie.
The garrison officer of the military horse farm in Jibei Prefecture, Chen Yun with an iron fist, and the official supervisor of soldiers and horses. The general of the Jeju Island garrison, Wen Zhongrong, and Choi, the commander of the Jishan Garrison, one is responsible for the interior and the other is responsible for the outside, and they are all overseers of soldiers and horses.
The generals of the mountain army are crazy about the tigers, and the officials and soldiers are all overseers.
There is no suitable general for the navy, and Tong Wei was left to serve temporarily. Although Jibei Mansion was originally built, the military generals of Wenchen had a small scale.
Jeju Island has a total of 3,000 garrisons at the Horse Farm, 5,000 garrisons from 10 battalions of Jebuk Province, 5,000 mountain troops, 3,000 naval troops stationed on the island, 1,000 city defense battalions, and 300 security brigades, totaling 17,300 people.
In addition to the regular armed forces, the village militia self-defense units.
It can be said that the defense of Jeju Island is very strong, as if it were impregnable.
In addition, several large granaries and warehouses were built in Jibei City, which were almost filled. Previously, the expeditionary fleet had brought hundreds of thousands of stone of grain, grass and various supplies. The 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the island have the confidence to cope with all difficulties.
The news spread that Chao Gai, the king of Shandong, was leaving the island and returning to the Song Dynasty. The people who live in the settlements send spontaneously the specialties they find on the island.
Like a kind of honey that can only be found on the cliff, it is sweet and delicious, and the mellow aroma is incomparable. The fruits of hundreds of years old trees and vines bear sweet and sour juices, and the fat rabbits and pheasants caught by the hunters are brought by the fishermen, and the abalone and lobster are brought by the fishermen......
There are no such specialties, so someone bakes a pancake and sends it to the steamed buns. The people who came from outside Jibei City were like a wave, everyone carried baskets and burdens, and even carts, clamoring to give them to King Chao.
This scene made the Tamna people dumbfounded and at a loss. When someone figured out that it was the news of the return of the king of the Heavenly Empire, the news was also the same. Send your own fish, dried fish, and hares......
No one instructed it, no one forced it, it was purely spontaneous. Gao Changxian, who began to receive treatment, Zhao Yan was very happy to see this scene. I also felt that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty won the hearts of the people, and I was glad that I chose the right one.
Chao Jiajun does not take a stitch from the masses!
I don't know if it's an empty word in the future, anyway, Chao Gai won't take the people's things for nothing, but everything that is sent over will be purchased at the market price.
More than 10 new acquisition points have been added outside Jibei City, which is extremely popular.
Those who mixed these supplies and fresh water to carry them onto the ship, and the guards carried the dog's head gold covered with black cloth, which occupied two large boats.
One can imagine what a windfall Chao Gai made on the island! He has the confidence to throw off his arms to buy, buy, recruit, and strengthen himself.
Even if a few businesses that have been painstakingly run are broken, there will be no worries in the short term. With the very pure gold mines on the island, he has the capital to compete for hegemony.
In a flash, three days passed.
The imperial physician Mu Jie's medical skills are superb, and the health of Gao Changxian, the son of Tamluo, is gradually improving. The key is to learn the news and accept this fact under enlightenment.
His younger brother Gao Changquan learned that the imperial physician of the Song Kingdom had arrived, and fled with his wife the night before yesterday, preparing to cross north to Goryeo by boat. There is no doubt that the patrolling fleet caught a serious arrest. dragged to Gao Changxian like a dead dog, crying bitterly, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
As for the processing results, Chao Gai didn't pay that attention to it, and he didn't know it in detail. It seems that the relationship between the two brothers broke down, but Gao Changxian did not die. A small courtyard was also built, and he could only live alone on the island.
The Flying Tiger became a wealthy merchant and led a caravan to Goryeo. There were Goryeo officers accompanying him, and there were also soldiers and horses overseer Cui Yi who led the escort. Last night, the news came back that he got the household registration certificate as planned.
Things are in place on Jeju Island!
The training of several golden eagles for more than a month by Chen Hu of the Black Mountain Kite has been quite effective. It has built a nest on the tallest building in Jibei City, leaving its own breath, two or three hundred kilometers away from the island, and the golden eagle will not get lost in the sea.
The training is almost complete, all that remains is to try to sail!
Chao Gai should also take his wife and lead the guards back to the base camp. The day before I decided to leave, I deliberately tied a small bamboo tube to the legs of a golden eagle. Soaring into the sky at Chen Hu's whistle, he flew into the distance.
I hope that the Golden Eagle Messenger will be successfully used in the military!
The soldiers under the command of Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon, and Ruan Xiaoqi, the living Yan Luo, rested for three days. When the sky was bright, they boarded the ship and prepared to sail away.
Nanshan Port, Yutai, and Li Kai led the guards to board two small boats respectively. In front of the Ten Thousand Mulan Boat, the ship of two thousand is indeed very small.
With the sound of the horn, large ships loaded with supplies from the island slowly withdrew from the harbor.
Many officials in Jibei Prefecture gathered to bid farewell to Chao Gai and several wives.
Wen Huanzhang crossed his hands and bowed to salute: "Lord, take care all the way, there is Wen on the island, and there are generals in the military, so you must live up to your trust." ”
"The king who should be confessed has already explained, so I won't say much, take care." Chao Gai turned, glanced around, and swept over the faces. Especially in the text, Chen and the two soldiers and horses stayed on the prison for a few more moments, and the latter sensed Chao Gai's gaze with his head held high and his face full of murder.
After Chao Gai and his wife saluted with the military generals, they led a team to board the ship. I have lived in Jeju Island for almost a month, and I feel reluctant to stand on the deck and look back at the crowds and the bustling island again.
Especially Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao are three women with reluctant faces. Chao Gai smiled and hugged their fragrant shoulders, the unit will come later.
On the flagship, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Huang Fuxiong, and Tong Meng waved their hands and shouted: "Hahaha, military advisor, everyone, see you next time." ”
Wen Junshi, your envious little eyes, although rest assured, I will find you a woman with a good personality, start a family, and give birth to a doll as soon as possible. Ruan Xiaoqi jumped up and down on the boat, squeezing his eyebrows at Wen Huanzhang.
"Shichiro, you kid Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Wen Huanzhang scolded with a red face.
"If you don't say it, you can just look at me!" Ruan Xiaoqi's face was full of I understand, and he put down his words in a big way, and Li Jun, Tong Meng and others laughed.
The crowd on the dock watched the fleet drift away!
"This little seven is straightforward and fast-talking." The helplessness on Wen Huanzhang's face gradually dissipated. Turning around, he looked at the group of civil ministers and military generals behind him, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the lord has entrusted the island to me and others, and there is no room for slackness. This is our base camp, and only when we operate it well can we have confidence. ”
"Yes, we will obey Taishou's orders." Everyone responded with their heads held high. They know that from this moment on, the road to officialdom can be regarded as the beginning.
Wen Huanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the others to get busy, leaving a few military commanders to convey Chao Gai's strict orders and discuss the defense of the island.
The soldiers on the island are all trained according to the strength of the field army, and the militia self-defense force is a reserve army. The navy, infantry, and cavalry take turns to conduct training with their arms. Make sure that the existing regular sergeants on the island are proficient in water warfare, foot combat, etc. In addition, the navy found a small island near the island to set up a sentry post......
It is precisely because of the strict preparation on the island that the disaster will be avoided in the future.
At the same time, a happy encounter was staged in the sea area more than 100 miles south of Jeju Island.
Several old swordfish boats sway around the island, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and there is no fixed course, one will take the S-shape, the other will take the B-shape. The man who is like a dragon bell is unstable. After a few days of wandering in the endless sea, we arrive at an island. It has an irregular shape, wide on both sides and thin in the middle, and looks like a continent when viewed from a distance.
If you were here, you would know that this was Tsushima Island. The people on the boat didn't know, but they knew it was from a distance. The boat approached and looked for a place where there were no people. A few small boats carried a large amount of supplies and more than 20 people landed on the island.
They had to find a suitable place to use as a base here.
It was just as a few small boats were carried into the forest and disappeared. More than a dozen sampan boats floated from afar, murderous and violent. The chirping and shouting continued. The thin, shrewd man on the swordfish ship commanded the ship to approach, and shouted at the top of his voice.
Both sides were chattering, and it was obvious that the sampan was disarmed. When the two teams met, they found that they were all carrying katanas and beards on their upper lips, exactly like each other's dress.
When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.
The procession of several old swordfish boats was a wandering samurai from Honshu, the main island of Shikoku. After taking a boat to the coastal cities of Goryeo and returning from plundering, he gained a lot of money and generously gave a lot of supplies to the garrison on the island.
In exchange for the pass, the other party waved enthusiastically, yo xi, yo xi. A few saury boats continue to swing towards the giant island!
The people in the forest who had disembarked before watched all this......
