He was still mentally ill. From the Pu brothers, he knew that the Japanese were very interested in horses. The leader of the Japanese, whose name was Ni, would stay in the horse pen every day as soon as he arrived on the island. These days, he was organizing manpower to clean up various yamen. horse stalls and various land documents. 【Read full text】
Although the government files are a mess, it is still possible to see the approximate size of the official horses and ranches on the island. Mr. Jin was particularly worried about this matter - after the fall of the Three Cities and Nine Towns, during the blank period when the Li Dynasty's ruling power had just collapsed and the Japanese emperors had not yet been able to extend their tentacles to the inland, he ordered his men to massacre them on a large scale. He robbed the official pastures and not only took away a large number of official horses and cattle, but also incorporated many official slaves and maids from the pastures into his stronghold. In many places, the subordinates directly moved the boundary markers and took the most fertile land in the official horse farm for themselves.
Although Mr. Jin never leaves home, he has a good understanding of the situation on Jeju Island through the active activities of his minions such as Huang Yunyu, Cui Xuanze, and Zhao Minggui. Seeing that Japanese Kun laid out the layout one by one in an orderly manner like a master.
Recently, there have been small groups of Japanese people operating in the interior, and now they are sending letters asking everyone to prepare to attend some "CPPCC meeting." Mr. Jin increasingly feels that the crisis is approaching.
It seems that there will be no peace unless we kill Japanese Kun. Master Jin thought about it for a few days and finally decided to welcome Master Wang back.
Mr. Jin is worthy of being the hero of the island. He has seriously considered the issue of "appropriating state-owned assets" after Master Wang returns, and has also seriously discussed it with his staff - and the final conclusion is that it is not a problem. Although Jeju Island has always been a place of exile, it is also a "royal land" after all, and the court will never sit idly by. If oneself can make efforts to welcome Master Wang back, the imperial court will definitely forget about past events - official horses, official cattle, official slaves and other living creatures, as long as they report "lost in war", it will be a matter of death without any evidence. As for the boundaries of the pasture, the court now has too much to take care of: natural disasters, random chaos, and instability in the court situation. The new Texas Shepherd must only want to be safe and will never pursue the matter seriously.
Originally, Mr. Jin instigated Zhao Minggui to collude with Huang Yunyu to bribe Park Dehuan. It was just a self-protection technique used by traditional rich people: to grasp the trends of the new ruler. Then try to profit from it. At this moment, he felt that he had mastered a character like Park Dehuan, which gave him a lot of weight to "welcome Master Wang".
This time Cui Xuanze went to the peninsula on a special mission to meet Jeolla Province's military envoy Shin Kyung-yu—Jeju judge Lee Mansion, who died in the battle when Jeju fell, was his confidant.
"...Master Shen said that the imperial court is indeed discussing the recovery of Jeju." Cui Xuanze said in a low voice, "There are no differences in the imperial meeting. It's just that the imperial court is currently short of soldiers and food, so it can only order him to 'restore the camera.' Master Shen doesn't know The Japanese Kun is so strong that we won’t be able to send troops for a while.”
"The 'camera recovery' thing is just a pretext!" Zhao Minggui scolded.
"No, according to Mr. Shen, the current atmosphere of the court is different from that of Lord Gwanghae. The king is very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the barbarians. He is very disgusted with the original peace negotiation." Cui Xuanze said, "Now the old Western faction is in power , all the masters in the court are clamoring for a strong army, and the troops are approaching the Yalu River."
Zhao Minggui said impatiently: "What the master in the court said is beyond our control. Just talk about the thieves on this island. Does the court care about it?"
"Even the barbarians have to be beaten, so what do a few Japanese kings on this island mean?" Cui Xuanze took a few sips of wine, "Master Shen said, we need to find out all the details of the Japanese kings. He is the best send troops."
Zhao Minggui said: "What else? I'm afraid it won't be so easy for these officials to send troops."
"Mr. Zhao, you are really insightful!" Cui Xuanze immediately flattered him.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, what terms does Mr. Shen offer?"
"Master Shen said it. He doesn't have enough soldiers. When the time comes, he will ask Master Jin to organize 'volunteers' to respond together."
Zhao Minggui thought this was not difficult. Master Jin originally had two hundred servants. There were tens of thousands of slaves, maids, servants, and hired workers, including their families, who were attached to him. Organizing thousands of volunteers is not a problem.
The volunteers don't need much expenses, just three square meals and a promise to reduce or reduce their personal tribute, rent, etc. It is much more economical than officers and soldiers who have to spend money to leave, and there is no need for pensions when they die. Mr. Jin originally had this plan - the combat effectiveness of the volunteer soldiers has always been stronger than that of the officers and soldiers. After winning the battle, the Japanese kings fled by boat, but the people and assets they brought could not escape. Not only is it enough to feed the volunteers, but it can also make a lot of money.
He nodded: "Then what?"
"Then it's about food and reward..." Cui Xuanze said anxiously and glanced at Zhao Minggui again.
Zhao Minggui remained silent for a while. Master Jin had also expected this. But what exactly is the charter? It depends on the other party's price, and Mr. Jin doesn't allow him to agree to anything. After thinking about it, he said: "Food and grass are easy to talk about. When the officers and soldiers cross the sea to fight the Japanese kings, Master Jin will of course repay the favor. As for the amount of the reward, I have to ask Mr. Shen to give me a regulation." He said with a smile, "I have to trouble you to run more for this matter. A few trips.”
"It's easy to say. It's easy to say that it's natural for me to serve the masters." Cui Xuanze accompanied the smile, "Now it is convenient for me to enter and leave the island - with Pu Dehuan helping me as a cover."
"Pu Dehuan is quite useful. We have to hold him firmly!" Zhao Minggui said.
"I understand, little one." Cui Xuanze said loudly, startling himself.
"Salute!" Following Kim Yong-ju's roar, twenty-four military bands from the North Korean troops of the Jeju Island Security Forces, holding flutes, pipes, flutes and other traditional instruments and wearing black hats, began to play the song they had practiced for several months. "Salute to you, Comrade Commander." Although this majestic march is obviously not expressive enough when played with traditional instruments, it still manages to be in tune.
All the security army soldiers raised their spears at the same time, and Zhu Mingxia, accompanied by Nangong Wudi, inspected 300 North Korean troops of the security army.
The North Korean security force formed on Jeju Island by absorbing local officials and slaves has begun to take shape. Three companies are training and on duty at the same time. They have completed most of the training projects of the security force. Because they will not be equipped with Nanyang-style rifles for the time being, there is no rifle training. For shooting training, Nangong Wudi used the training gun to train some subjects such as formation, gun handling and assassination.
Due to the lack of long-range projectile weapons, with the approval of Nangong Wudi, Jin Yongzhu launched bow and arrow education, so now everyone is equipped with bows and arrows - Zhu Mingxia is not too cold about this, it is just better than nothing. It is better to equip the rifle as soon as possible.
To the sound of folk-style marching music, Zhu Mingxia held his command knife in his hand and inspected the troops with a salute.
The music stopped, Zhu Mingxia returned to the queue, nodded, and Jin Yongzhu quickly shouted: "Take a break!"
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Zhu Mingxia felt quite satisfied. The queue was quite neat. Although the body didn't look strong enough due to nutrition, the energy and spirit were already coming out. It seems that Nangong Wudi has done a good job in training. Of course, there is also the bonus effect of the constant "giving from three guests" by the Japanese security army sergeants who are responsible for specific training.
Zhu Mingxia coughed and began to read aloud the order issued by the Senate to confer military affairs: the official award was given to the Jeju Island Security Army North Korean unit as the "Security Army North Korean Advance Column" and the title "White Horse" unit. A galloping white horse is used as the troop mark. He read loudly in Mandarin with correct accents, while Pu Demeng translated loudly - to be honest, he had been thinking about this number for a long time and didn't know how to translate it, and Chief Nangong came up with the translation himself.
After the order was read out, all the people shouted "for the Senate and the people" three times - in vague Mandarin. This is also the result of months of hard training. According to Fu Sansi's newly issued order: Whether it is the regular army, the national army or the security army, Mandarin must be used as the common language.
There are certain accommodations for security forces composed of foreign personnel and ethnic minorities, but it is also required to implement unified language work as soon as possible.
After reviewing the technology, Zhu Mingxia returned to the headquarters of the supervision camp, and Nangong Wudi reported on the current defense work of Jeju Island.
Nangong Wuwei explained the map one by one. Currently, among the three cities in Jeju Island, Daejong County and Jeongui County are each equipped with a farming labor squadron. They are equivalent to garrison troops and are equipped with cold weapons. They mainly focus on agricultural and animal husbandry production and take into account local guards.
Because the farming squadron is all equipped with cold weapons, its combat power is insufficient. Therefore, Nangong Wudi strengthened a platoon of Fubo troops as the backbone for each county. After the local security army is formed, each county will be equipped with a security army company.
"...After a large number of refugees are decontaminated, hundreds of families will be resettled in each county, and then local National Army soldiers will be slowly trained to replace these security forces." Nangong Wudi introduced his next step.
"Not bad, how are the other troops arranged?"
The company headquarters of the dismantled company and the remaining platoon were deployed at Chaocheonpo Pier as a garrison. In order to cope with the possible counterattack of the Li Dynasty army, Nangong Wudi concentrated the remaining infantry company, an engineer company and other sporadic troops in and around Jeju City as mobile troops. In other towns, he deployed only a small number of security forces. The Japanese Company of the Security Army serves as the Jeju City garrison. The North Korean security forces are used as auxiliary forces. In terms of defense deployment, the north is more important than the south.
"Our military strength is really not enough for such a large island." Nangong Wudi said, "The inland is blank. We can't control these big landlords hiding in the mountains, and even the official horse farms are occupied by them. Nick talks to me about this every day, but how can we now have the troops and manpower to go inland and take over the racecourse." To be continued.
