Hu Wei implemented the same policy in Goryeo as in the Ming Dynasty.
He combined the revival organization and the military to eliminate the landlord class and the literati class in Goryeo, uprooting them, and completely annihilating Goryeo's original ruling class.
After their destruction, the forces of the Ming Dynasty filled in, and a large number of collective farms and handicraft workshops replaced the grassroots ruling units, filling this gap, making the entire system of Goryeo completely match the Ming Dynasty system.
Collective farms and handicraft workshops can not only provide food and ordnance, but also have the general advantages of the Ming Dynasty when conducting war mobilization due to the complete grassroots organizational structure. They can quickly realize war mobilization and provide reliable transportation capacity for army logistics.
Not only that, after five years of hard work, Hu Wei accumulated a large amount of food and military supplies for the army's war.
According to what he said, the food and ordnance he had saved could probably supply the army for nearly a year and three months.
This is not simply a large army stationed in place for one year and three months.
Instead, on the basis of the 100,000-strong army dispatched for battle, approximately 150,000 to 200,000 civilians were mobilized, and approximately 50,000 horses, donkeys, mules and other livestock were mobilized, including all personnel and livestock in the logistics area. .
The army went out to fight, and the logistics personnel worked hard to transport them from the port of Goryeo to the Japanese islands. Under such circumstances, with the huge war consumption and logistics consumption, it was enough to support this series of personnel for three months for a year.
During the war, it was naturally necessary to retain some personnel to continue engaging in agricultural production.
Under the war system, if the war lasts for more than a year, then the food harvested in the next year and the major factories working overtime to produce ordnance, the accumulated income in one year can provide the army with food supplies for about three months.
In other words, if the war lasts for more than a year, the Koryo Province can independently provide material support for all personnel needed for the war for one and a half years in one province, without even needing help from the Liaodong Province.
After Su Yonglin learned about it, he immediately sent a team of planners across the sea to verify. Two months later, in early March 2017, the team of planners came back and said that the quantity of supplies was wrong.
Hu Wei was conservative.
At least two months of supplies were conservatively maintained. In fact, the supplies accumulated by Goryeo were enough for the army's expedition to Japan for one year and five months.
Asked him why, he said that the supply of supplies in the past two months must be set aside as leeway, because everyone needs to consider the possible sea storms that the army may encounter when crossing the sea on an expedition to the Japanese archipelago.
In the past five years, he has continuously sent people to inspect the route from Goryeo to the Japanese Archipelago. He asked businessmen who were familiar with this route about the hydrological conditions and learned that the risk of crossing the sea was very high. If you were not careful, you would encounter a storm at sea.
Sea storms cause great damage to ships. Once encountered in a sea storm, an entire fleet of supplies may capsize and be lost, and cannot be used for war.
Therefore, the amount of supplies in the past two months is included in the reserve loss, leaving room for overall loss and allowing the army to arrange combat tasks more rationally.
Good guy, he actually made it to this point, Su Yonglin couldn't help but applaud him.
And since his preparations have reached this point, if he starts this battle plan at an inappropriate time, he and the entire Goryeo struggle will be regretted.
After the victory of this war, Su Yonglin planned to officially promote the transformation of the Kingdom of Koryo into the Province of Koryo. Although Koryo was actually a complete province, and even education had been completely Chineseized and revolutionized, there should still be some A sense of ritual.
So Su Yonglin convened an enlarged meeting of the entire Ministry of Military Affairs to prepare to formally discuss the war plan against Japan.
The plan to fight Japan was made a long time ago, and Su Yonglin re-explained the necessity of fighting Japan at the meeting.
In addition to obtaining a large amount of precious metals and opening up the Northern Sea Route, one of the most important goals was to wipe out the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to reports from Skynet Army secret agents, Japan's de facto supreme ruler Taira Kiyomori has a large number of former Southern Song Dynasty officials working for him, serving as Japanese officials and effectively improving Japan's administrative level.
And they also invested extensively in Japan's aristocratic schools, providing elite educational resources for Japan's upper class, and completely imparting the Confucian ideological system that had been deconstructed in the Ming Dynasty to the children of Japan's ruling class.
Some families even took some technical personnel with them when they came to Japan, and brought some of the high-precision technologies mastered in the Southern Song Dynasty, such as porcelain making technology, to Japan, which was valued by Taira Kiyomori.
It is said that Taira Kiyomori was plotting to establish a porcelain factory and compete with the Ming Dynasty for the profits of this industry.
These things made Su Yonglin very unhappy and strengthened his determination to completely destroy Japan.
Since the first war between the Ming and Song Dynasties before democratization, a considerable number of the powerful and wealthy people in the Southern Song Dynasty were not optimistic about the future of the Southern Song Dynasty because of the obstruction of the Song army and the cowardice and incompetence of the Song court.
They believe that the revolutionary nature of the Ming Dynasty and what they want to do are absolutely fatal to them, so no matter what they say, they cannot mix with the Ming Dynasty, and they absolutely cannot believe in any of the promises of the Ming Dynasty.
These guys had a clear mind. Before the Ming army marched south to Lin'an for the first time, they fled in groups. According to incomplete statistics, the first batch ran away more than 600 powerful people in Lin'an City. Zhao was very angry. Shen was furious.
This group of people first went to Wang's Korea at the time, but soon realized that it was not safe at all, because the Ming Kingdom and Korea had basically become a suzerain and vassal state.
How can there be any safety guarantee in this?
So they decided to follow the advice of some people in Goryeo who were also malicious and fearful of the Ming regime, and chose to cross the sea and go to Japan to survive.
The then ruler of Japan, Taira Kiyomori, initially had doubts about the arrival of a large number of visitors from the Southern Song Dynasty, because he also learned about the very important events taking place on the Chinese mainland through the relationship between merchants traveling between Japan and the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Ming Kingdom, a powerful northern country, was established to replace the Jin Kingdom, which put strong pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty, which they considered the orthodox dynasty. The Ming Kingdom had strong military force, but the Southern Song Dynasty was not as powerful as the Ming Kingdom. It was suppressed and defeated miserably.
At that time, Taira Kiyomori was preparing to promote commercial trade with the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and had even expanded a port in the Seto Inland Sea that could accommodate the large ships of the Southern Song Dynasty. Hearing this news, he was quite worried.
The subsequent arrival of a wave of immigrants from the Southern Song Dynasty and Korea brought him mixed feelings.
Fortunately, these immigrants from the Southern Song Dynasty and Korea were local elites. Not only did they bring a large amount of property with them to Japan to settle down and buy property, they also stimulated domestic demand in Japan, provided jobs for many people, and created employment and knowledge.
There are a large number of educated people among them, not only ordinary scholars, but also many officials with Jinshi background. These officials have rich cultural knowledge and governance knowledge, which is indeed of great help to him.
Taira Kiyomori was born as a samurai and was the originator of the samurai regime in Japanese history. He used force to quell those who were dissatisfied with him, suppressed the emperor, gained real power, and became the de facto ruler of Japan.
Among the sixty-six imperial kingdoms in Japan, more than thirty are controlled by the Taira clan's cronies. The Taira clan alone has sixteen ministers in the imperial court, and the remaining central officials are more than thirty. There are a total of more than sixty people in charge, guard office and various departments.
Taira Kiyomori himself possesses extremely strong military force, has a large number of fans, and relies on political marriages to make himself a relative. He has also established relationships with some established noble families, which can be said to be very powerful.
But he was not without his worries.
