Water Monkey and others stayed in the capital for half a month.
I spent three days with my family and trained in the villa for ten days.
In the remaining two days, Jia Cong summoned them together.
Together with Wangcai, Zhang Dakui, Li Biao, Qingwen and others, they formulated a detailed plan to conquer Jeju Island.
Afterwards, the water monkey took the people back to the island.
Returning with them was Wangcai's caravan and Zhang Dakui leading a hundred personal guards.
This time, Jia Cong asked them to carry a thousand artillery shells for the capture of Jeju Island and a possible battle with the Goryeo Navy.
Zhang Dakui led a hundred soldiers and the Marine Corps of Shuiying to capture Jeju Island and eliminate the armed forces on the island. No other armed forces were allowed to exist on the island.
After capturing Jeju Island, Zhang Dakui was responsible for forming a Marine Corps to protect the security of the island.
Water Monkey led half of the naval fleet to stay on Jeju Island and form a new North Sea Fleet to protect the waters of Jeju Island.
Wangcai is responsible for the administrative management, logistics supply, and subsequent immigration plans on Jeju Island.
Since Wangcai had many things to do, and he also managed two fleets and a caravan, he transferred two stewards from the government to serve as Wangcai's deputies, asking them to assist Wangcai and do a good job.
These two stewards were both sons of the Ningguo Mansion and had been slaves of the Jia family for several lifetimes.
Their loyalty can be guaranteed and their abilities are good. Letting them go out to do things also gives them a chance.
Jia Cong could not leave the capital easily, and could not go on patrol in person. He could only install more cronies who were loyal to him to control the power on the island.
In the future, Jeju Island will be composed of three forces.
One is the North Sea Fleet formed by Water Monkeys, which is responsible for external affairs and protecting the waters of Jeju Island.
The second is Zhang Dakui's Marine Corps, which is responsible for the security patrol on the island and protecting Jeju Island.
Third, there are the administrative agencies and logistics supply agencies on the island headed by Wangcai.
The three parties restrict and supervise each other, and will never let one party dominate to prevent them from having unwanted thoughts.
If there is a major problem, the three of them can resolve it through negotiation.
After Water Monkey and others returned to the island, they immediately held a pre-war meeting to mobilize all available troops and prepare to send troops to Jeju Island.
After these years of development, there are now more than 8,000 people on the island.
Compared with the original seven or eight hundred people, the number has increased more than ten times.
Most of these people were pirate members who had merged, some were recruited, and some were robbed merchant ship guards who chose to join them in order to survive.
Most of these people are young and strong, and they have been wandering at sea all year round. With a little training, they can become qualified navy.
There are nearly a hundred large and small warships on the island, more than 4,000 naval troops, and a thousand marines. These are all selected elites.
There are also three thousand people who are logistics personnel, including sailors and guards of the two fleets, as well as some shipbuilding and ship repair craftsmen, blacksmiths, etc., all managed by Wangcai.
Considering that the fleet would be divided into two, another thousand men were selected and joined the naval force.
Everything was prepared, and three days later, the army set off for Jeju Island.
Nearly a hundred large and small warships, as well as prosperous cargo ships, formed a huge fleet, sailing towards Jeju Island in a mighty manner.
Jeju Island is located in the south of Jeolla Province. It is an oval island. The island is almost the size of a county. There is a high mountain in the center of the island and it is surrounded by plains.
Jeju Island's strategic position is quite good. It is almost 2,000 miles away from Chongming Sands and a little farther from Dengju Peninsula, but it is much closer to Japan. It is only more than 400 miles away from Kyushu Island and only 1,000 miles away from the Ryukyu Islands in the south.
The fleet sailed for two days and finally saw the destination of this trip, Jeju Island.
The water monkey took out his telescope and looked towards the island. However, the distance was too far and he could not see very clearly. He immediately ordered to move forward at full speed.
Some distance away from Jeju Island, everyone saw a crown-like peak.
This is the famous Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak on Jeju Island.
"General manager, Commander Zhang, that's Jeju Island ahead."
Upon hearing this, Wangcai and Zhang Dakui quickly looked forward.
They saw only a mountain peak facing the sea. It was composed of large and small volcanic rocks. Even the "beach" was made of a large number of extremely small volcanic rocks, black sand and gravel ground into each other. The unique seaside scenery amazed them.
Zhang Dakui said: "Commander Shui, if there are naval forces and warships on this island, I will leave it to you. Leave half of the navy on standby on the warships to prevent anyone from escaping. The others will land with me to fight."
Water Monkey said: "Don't worry, Commander Zhang. I will personally stay on the ship and take charge. I will not let any ship leave Jeju Island and leak the news about the island. This will give us enough time to run Jeju Island.
It's up to you to seize control of the island. We don't know exactly how many people there are, so you should be more careful. "
Zhang Dakui smiled and said: "From your introduction, there are only ten thousand people on this island at most. It would be good to have a thousand defenders. With just such a few people, I can sweep it across with two hundred soldiers. There are also With nearly a thousand marines and more than two thousand navy soldiers, this trip is absolutely foolproof."
Wangcai said: "Commander Zhang, Commander Shui, although you are very confident, don't take it too lightly. For the sake of the grand plan of the Duke, you need to be careful and careful. You must not be careless."
The two nodded in agreement. This was the first time they had carried out Jia Cong's mission alone, and it was definitely not easy to fail.
In the past, Water Monkey was just allowed to develop and grow on his own without giving him a clear task. This was considered the first time he had carried out a task.
Zhang Dakui has also been following Jia Cong as the chief instructor. This is also his first time to go out on a mission and take charge of his own role.
After approaching the island, the fleet split into two, one on the left and one on the right sailing around Jeju Island.
One is to look for the pier, and the other is to look for hidden ships to prevent anyone from sending the news out and leaking the situation on the island.
Although, our side has a powerful fleet and military force, and is not afraid of any provocation. But it would be very beneficial for me to have more time to develop and avoid trouble later.
The two fleets met at the dock in the northeast.
Looking at the dozen or so small boats scattered on the pier, everyone felt relieved.
Subsequently, they were forced to land ashore.
Zhang Dakui led a thousand marines and more than two thousand naval troops to attack the island with great momentum.
There were only 500 Korean soldiers stationed on Jeju Island.
Seeing thousands of troops approaching, these soldiers simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.
As a result, Zhang Dakui, who was ready to kill everyone, was unable to use his power.
Afterwards, everyone on the island gathered together and announced to them the occupation of Jeju Island and the ownership of Jeju Island. From then on, the surname of Jeju Island was Jia.
In front of thousands of soldiers, no one dared to make a mistake and silently acknowledged the new leader.
After some statistics, Jeju Island has a total population of 12,000 people. The majority are mainly Tamna survivors, and some are exiled criminals, and then there are the 500 Korean soldiers.
Wangcai led others to conduct a new count and confirmed the island's population.
Classify all types of people uniformly, gather the exiled criminals individually, and let them reclaim land on Jeju Island.
In the west of Jeju Island, there is a pasture left over from the Yuan Dynasty, which has long been abandoned.
Wangcai arranged for some people to organize the pasture again.
When Jeju Island becomes stable, we will go to Khalkha, Mongolia, move some of the herdsmen there, and then transport some of the cattle, sheep and horses to be responsible for grazing here.
This also prevents the island from being filled with indigenous people and preventing them from uniting to cause trouble.
This time, Wangcai transferred two-thirds of the logistics staff from Shuiying, a total of more than 2,000 people.
In addition to the 1,000 marines and the 3,000 navy soldiers left behind, there are 6,000 of our own people, and most of them are soldiers, which is enough to scare the people on Jeju Island.
Wangcai had never managed so many people before, so he asked Jia Cong for advice before coming.
Let him gather the original managers and use them for the time being, letting them manage their own people, and then slowly insert their own people in, and finally replace them.
Of course, if you do well, you can continue to use it.
Wangcai followed Jia Cong's method and used a month to handle the affairs on Jeju Island properly.
Some people maintain the pastures, some cultivate farmland, and some go out to sea to fish. The entire island is in order and is on the right track.
Suddenly there were more than 6,000 people, and the food on Jeju Island was somewhat stretched.
Wangcai decided to send a fleet back to Shuiying to bring a batch of food.
The Water Monkey fleet has also been dismantled.
Water Monkey led more than 3,000 naval forces to stay on Jeju Island and formed the North Sea Fleet, responsible for defending the waters of Jeju Island.
Liu Erhu led the remaining two thousand naval forces and returned to Shuiying to form the South China Sea Fleet and continue to grow and develop.
Wangcai also sent his deputy to lead the fleet and followed Liu Erhu's fleet back to Shuiying, preparing to transport a batch of food.
Zhang Dakui divided a thousand Marines into ten hundred-man squads to patrol the island.
One of the hundred-man squads is stationed at the dock to guard the safety of the dock.
Water Monkey was also on the beach, chose a suitable location, and established the North Sea Fleet's camp.
Two forts were built on the seaside, and two large-caliber long-range guns were installed. They were regarded as coastal defense guns. This was what Jia Cong specially asked them to take with them when they left the capital.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. The development of Jeju Island has entered the formal stage, and various tasks have been progressing steadily.
Jeju Island returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.
······
Jia Cong received a letter from Wangcai and knew that Jeju Island had been obtained.
I am also quite satisfied with the performance of the three people.
The letter gave a detailed explanation of the situation on Jeju Island and told Jia Cong some of his thoughts.
Now that Jeju Island has been obtained, and he has no shortage of money or resources, it is better to let it develop as soon as possible. Then some important workshops will be moved to Jeju Island.
Jia Cong thought for a while and wrote a letter.
The letter was to Zhang Hu, asking him to mobilize 5,000 to 10,000 herdsmen from the tribe and move them to Jeju Island.
At the same time, a group of cattle, sheep and horses were dispatched to Jeju Island for grazing.
He also asked him to dispatch two thousand cavalry to serve on Jeju Island.
He also asked him to contact Amin and use the barbarian side. People and animals passed through his territory, and asked Amin to ensure that these people could pass smoothly.
After writing the letter, he put the letter into the envelope and sealed the envelope.
He summoned two personal guards and handed them the letter, asking them to hurry up and deliver the letter to Zhang Hu.
The two received the letter, and Jia Cong gave each of them two grenades for self-defense on the road.
The two left Ningguo Mansion and rushed to Liaodong.
Zhang Hu received Jia Cong's letter, read the contents, found Wang Shun, and handed the letter to him.
"My lord has a letter, please read it yourself."
Wang Shun took the letter and read it, sighing in his heart.
My master is so restless that he actually went to establish a base overseas. Isn't it enough to have him and others here?
He returned the letter to Zhang Hu and said: "Since it is your request, we must try our best to meet it. We have no shortage of herdsmen. We have five to six million here alone. There is no problem in moving tens of thousands of people there.
Two thousand cavalry is not a big deal, so just follow your orders. We will select the men later and make preparations. As for Amin, you have to go and do it yourself.
Now that he is sweating profusely, I don’t know if he will still be as easy to talk to as before. "
Zhang Hu said: "It's not a big deal, it's just an excuse. I guess it won't be a big problem. I'll go see him tomorrow and see how he copes with it."
The two discussed again and began to select the herdsmen and cavalry.
The next day, Zhang Hu set off for Hetuala.
After finding Gu Qi, Gu Qi took him to Amin's palace.
"Zhang Hu, I've seen Dahan."
Amin saw Zhang Hu coming and laughed loudly: "General Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I haven't thanked you for your help yet. I don't know why I came here today?"
Zhang Hu said: "The Great Khan is welcome. Our Lord has found an island overseas and plans to move some herdsmen there for us. He wants to pass by the Great Khan's territory. I wonder what the Great Khan wants?"
Amin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this to be the case.
Jia Cong wants to establish a stronghold outside and leave a way out for himself.
This is really a precautionary measure.
Passing by one's own territory is not a big deal, and it has no impact on oneself, but it can be done as a favor.
"Since it is Ning Guogong's matter, I will naturally support it strongly. There is no problem in this matter. You are ready, set the date, and let Gu Qi help you arrange it."
