This Mu Haitao is a native of Dengzhou, grew up in Dengzhou since childhood, and also has some understanding of the local garrison, those recruited soldiers, the flowing general camp, not to mention, but, as a native of the local, how can you not know about the behavior of the local guards?

In Dengzhou, there is a guard, on the roster of the commander's envoys, this guard, called Weihaiwei, of course, this is all a matter of the past, the current Weihaiwei has existed in name only, however, Mu Haitao also remembers that in the slack season, the officers and soldiers of these guards, one by one, do not need to be driven by officers, as if rushing to the market, happily holding the blade to the sea. Moreover, in less than half a month, the soldiers of these guards came down from the ship one by one with large bags and returned full of thieves.

When he grew up and understood the world, he knew that it turned out that the soldiers of these guards went to the opposite side of the sea, a place called "North Korea" to suppress bandits, and this North Korea was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it was natural for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to help them suppress bandits.

This kind of thing happens again and again year after year, and no one says anything wrong, and the officers and soldiers of those guards, from commanders to ordinary soldiers, all take this matter for granted. Naturally, he arrived, the so-called suppression of bandits, nothing more than a change of name, it sounds better, these officers and soldiers go to a foreign country, what good things they can do, everyone can think of it, they are lawless, and when they go to a place where there is no royal law, they still don't plunder to their heart's content, that's a strange thing.

Just now he came up with a god, Yu Feng suddenly asked, in the midst of the chaos, he couldn't find any good words to deal with, so he pulled this matter out, anyway, he felt that these guards could do such a thing, and their own Fengzi battalion naturally did it, and those people who turned into outsiders were not the people of the Ming Dynasty, or they were disasters, so what? Adults worry about money, and there will always be some subsidies for such things!

"Tell me about it!"

Seeing that Yu Feng was interested, Mu Haitao was full of energy, and told him what he knew about this aspect of the matter, and added at the end: "The students have also heard that not only the soldiers of Weihaiwei do this, but also in North Korea, they have also met other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that they are from Liaodong, I don't know if it is Fuzhou Wei or Jinzhou Wei, but everyone's purpose is the same." ”

"Isn't this the Grass Valley?" Yu Feng thought for a while, but found a word suitable for such behavior, "However, this Dacao Gu said, but it is aimed at the actions of the military and civilians on the border between the two countries, this North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been obedient, so it is a bit unkind to do this!" ”

"My lord is reasonable, a few years ago, my Ming court also sent troops to help North Korea fight against the Japanese, these soldiers must have been instigated by Shangguan, for them, it is good to do it, these barbarians, it is okay to rob. They are not sensible, how can those generals not understand, if a North Korean official sues the court, but they will be eaten! ”

Yu Feng remembered that Yi Sunsin, the "god of the army" who was blown by those Goryeo sticks in later generations, seemed to be the person of the late Ming Dynasty, to be exact, it should be said that he was a person in the Wanli period. Then, the imperial court sent troops that Mu Haitao said, it should be the war of aiding the DPRK and resisting the Japanese, and the Ming Dynasty aided the war, but we are in the country, obviously there is no almost pathological self-esteem of the Goryeo stick, for North Korea, it may be just a national war, and it is naturally a big book in the history books, but for the Ming Dynasty, it is just a marginal place, a big place, several subject countries toss each other, for the fierce, naturally the boss of the Ming Dynasty wants to come forward to suppress it, so, this war to aid Korea, the history books are recorded in the history books are unknown, However, in later generations, they gave Goryeo sticks a lot of opportunities to take advantage of, and gave them a lot of opportunities to put gold on their faces.

Let's take a look at the information recorded in the history books, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who invaded North Korea at that time, and everyone who has played the Taiko series knows that it is the guy called "Monkey", the guy who took advantage of his boss's burp to take the position, of course, he invaded North Korea, how many people are there? The information of the Japanese side is 50,000 people, the data of the South Korean side is 120,000 people, and the data of the Chinese side is 70,000 people. I estimate that even the auxiliary soldiers and men got closer, and they couldn't make up the number of 200,000, think about it, at that time, Japan was still in the late Warring States period, and finding a piece of wasteland to build a thatched hut was called a city, and with a city plus a few samurai peasants, they dared to stand up as a country, and dozens or hundreds of people dared to attack the city.

200,000 people, crossing the Korean Strait, how many ships do you need!

Okay, okay, even if he has 200,000 people, then, let's take a look at the Ming army's battle report that was later called the turning point of the war to aid Korea during the Wanli period--- the Battle of Bihuguan. Before that, the Japanese chased after the Koreans, and after that, the Koreans were able to fight back.

In this battle, the Ming army won the first 167 ranks of the Japanese army, captured 45 military horses, 91 weapons, and the Ming army lost 264 people, 49 wounded, and 276 horses.

Just looking at the battle report of a battle, it is a bit biased, we are looking at the battle of Pyongyang, which claims to have restored half of the rivers and mountains of Korea, the battle report of the Ming army, is a service, the Ming army reported that the beheading was 362 levels, and 5 people were captured, while the war report of the North Korean side was, beheading 1647 levels.

What is this all about, in the land of the Central Plains, such a level of battle, even a small ravine can be fought, and the battle is also a big victory, I took it, not that I slandered the combat power of the Ming army, it is really this ......, there is really nothing to brag about.

Of course, Yu Feng may not know these historical facts, but from Mu Haitao's words, he still heard that North Korea is a very soft peach at this time, anyone can go up and pinch it, even the imperial guard's office also regards looting in Korea as a common practice, and I don't know if the "military god" Yi Sunsin is dead, but even if he doesn't die, hundreds of peasant-like guards are wandering around the land of North Korea, as if they are their own vegetable gardens, so what kind of quality the North Korean soldiers are, you can also imagine.

"If the Central Plains are in turmoil, North Korea may not be a place to avoid trouble?" Yu Feng secretly said: "If I do my best, I still can't avoid being overturned in this tide of history, then why don't I arrange a retreat for myself as soon as possible, the cunning rabbit is still three holes, I take precautions, it's not impossible!" ”

"You put down the errand in your school first, go to Xuejia Island, pick a few people who have been credited, preferably a native of Dengzhou, and do the following things for me!"

Mu Haitao solemnly listened to the order, being able to send errands abroad, of course, is better than teaching in the school, teaching can not teach fame and wealth, especially the things he just thought of that he dared not speak, and he was even more excited, and he couldn't wait to devote himself to this great cause immediately.

"First, what is the situation on the North Korean side, who is in charge, who is in power, how to face the local officials in Dengzhou, the combat strength of the army and soldiers, and the livelihood of the people, if it is possible, you will send someone to go through it yourself."

"Second, Dengzhou has a port, the specific situation of this port, you have to find out to me clearly, which ships are docked on weekdays, what kind of ships, if the imperial court wants a ship, what kind of charter, you are a local, you don't need me to teach you this! If you can still find veterans who have been to North Korea in the first place, you might as well use them, and when the time comes, it will be good to be a guide or something! ”

Mu Haitao nodded again and again, what Yu Feng meant, he knew very well, at this moment, he was happy for his own adult's kindness, and he was also excited that his suggestion was taken seriously, he just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that the adult would attach so much importance to it.

"This matter, send those guys who handle knives and guns to investigate, you may not be careful, but if you don't make it clear in advance, you can do it recklessly, and it is easy to go wrong, these people you pick, you don't have to be very good, but you must be clever and loyal! The manpower is limited to 100 people, these people, you take them first, practice them, and then release them to use! Expenditure, rules and regulations, you go back and draw up a charter! ”

"May I be the eyes and ears of adults!" Mu Haitao knelt down on one knee, this time, but the etiquette in the army, this errand obviously belongs to the secret agent or something, and it is different from the scouts in the army, although he himself is not very good at this thing, but he is confident that with his own ability, he will do everything that Yu Feng has explained, and it will be beautiful and beautiful. Although this is only a function of spying on military intelligence information at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future? The majesty of Jinyiwei is there, and this newly born institution is simply the prototype of Jinyiwei.

"However, these subordinates, etc., please also ask the adults to give a name to show the difference in the army!"

"For my eyes and ears, find the heavenly machine, let's call it the heavenly machine!"

Maybe Yu Feng himself doesn't know at the moment, just because he wants to figure out some information that can't be publicized, and with a slap of his head, this institution will become a behemoth in the future that is far more powerful than the famous Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, but this behemoth's external means are more superb than the means within his group, and it is also because of this that it has fulfilled the name of Mu Haitao's generation of capable ministers, and its prestige and reputation are not inferior to those military generals who have expanded their territory.
