Wood is a good thing. People can burn it for heating, and they can also use it to make various tools, weapons, ships, and even build houses! Therefore, Kang Lin needs them very much now. To be precise, he needs dry and qualified boards suitable for building houses. In order to obtain enough wood for building houses, this guy is willing to do whatever it takes, while Chang Jiansheng hesitates. The speech immediately attracted his attention. To be honest, Kang Lin felt that none of the two civil servants under him were fuel-efficient lamps. I will not mention Yan Xiaosong. They were all very ambitious representatives of feudal literati. His positioning could be compared to that of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. As well as Li Shanchang, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty; and another guy, Chang Jiansheng, looked like an extremely pedantic old man at first, but as the contact time continued to increase, Kang Lin could 100% confirm that this guy was a gentle and elegant man. A pragmatist who always does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Therefore, his positioning can be compared to the poisonous scholar Jia Xu in the Han Dynasty, a guy who came up with ideas regardless of the life and death of the people!
"For example, which force? Do you already have a goal?" Therefore, Conlin never had to consider disguising himself when communicating with these two guys, because they are people who are on the same road and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals! Anyway, they have already worked as pirates in the sea, and they don't mind continuing this promising job. Yes, Kang Lin immediately understood the meaning of Chang Jiansheng's words. Since buying large quantities of timber is wasting the fleet, The funds, which are not much in the first place, will attract the attention of some interested people, so it’s time to grab it! Chiyang now has more than ten warships, dozens of large and small artillery pieces, nearly a hundred elite warriors who dare to fight, and has a new iron man army of fifty with a fighting strength. If he doesn't go to the surrounding areas to rob, uh, no, he will charge a If you bear such a reasonable burden, you would be so sorry for the tyrannical force you have in your hands!
"Indigenous and pirate-controlled areas do not have stable timber production, so they are not suitable to go there; Japan, and areas controlled by the Great Khan of Houjin, are not suitable to go to because the charging costs are too high; the Ming Dynasty was excluded by us as soon as it came up; the remaining There are only two places we can reach in the area below, Korea and Liuqiu. We don’t need to consider the latter, because it is a large island and there is not much wood suitable for shipbuilding. It will take us a lot of time to get enough wood. Therefore, the only one we can choose in the end is Korea, and only there is the dry wood we urgently need!" Look, the matter of collection and management is like that. Once the crucial step is taken, what follows? It got out of hand. Regarding the lack of qualified wood at home, the Chiyang think tank headed by Yan Si did not find a solution on its own. Instead, it focused its greedy eyes on innocent neighboring countries. Just because its own strength was stronger than the opponent's, they wanted to use it. The most tragic thing is that the entire Chiyang fleet, from the chief leader Kang Lin to the ordinary soldiers, turned a blind eye to this and even actively participated in it!
"Tell me about your plan!" Without too much hesitation, Kang Lin agreed with Mr. Chang Jiansheng's opinion. Next, he twisted his fat body and changed into a more comfortable position, and then continued to ask in a complicated tone whether he had a comprehensive plan for going to Goryeo to collect the settlement burden.
"I'm not familiar with someone from various places in Goryeo. My lord, you can ask other people if they know anything about this country before making a decision..." Chang Jiansheng is definitely not as stubborn, pedantic, and outspoken as he usually seems to be. Now that he has With his knowledge and knowledge, Kang Lin's mind has been appreciated and valued, so when he needs to hide his clumsiness, he will hide it without hesitation! After all, a person can eat a fish alone, but he cannot get a share of the credit. If you don't know how to share the credit with your colleagues at the critical moment, you are really not far from death. Not to mention anything else, let me just say that if Shangguan Yan Si and Yan Xiaosong hadn't helped me during the many discussions in front of the army, even if I could barely stay in front of the leader to consult on military affairs, how could I be as able as I am now? I'm afraid that one day if I'm not careful, I will be found out for one reason or another. I will read a book in front of the leader and beat myself to the end. What's more, it is not impossible to lose my life. I know how bad my mouth is and how bad my temper is. If I am hated by the leader, I believe someone will pounce on me like a hungry wolf and bite me. As for my sanctimonious boss Yan Xiaosong, He won’t miss this good opportunity and trample himself completely under his feet! When he thought that he might lose his promising position as a logistics team steward and in charge of the fleet's aircraft and writing, Chang Jiansheng's words became that he didn't know the situation in Korea, and asked the leader to ask others if they understood.
"Brothers, does anyone know about the situation in Goryeo?" Sure enough, after seeing Chang Jiansheng's knowledge and interest, Chiyang's think tank members showed imperceptible smiles on their faces. This guy didn't know anything about Goryeo. The situation is, but I am afraid that if I stand out, I will offend other colleagues in the team, so I keep silent, trying to share some of the credit with others, and then form a good relationship! It seems that this guy is not really stupid. He knows how to make choices and advance and retreat. His mind is very flexible!
"My lord, let me tell you! After all, I was born in Dongjiang, so I know more about Goryeo than others!" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, in the end it is Fan who is the number one infantry general. Huzi opened his mouth and accepted the question from his leader. He was the general flag officer of the Dongjiang Army under Mao Wenlong. He usually had contacts with Goryeo officials and businessmen, so he only thought about it briefly and said loudly to his leader, "The country of Goryeo can be divided into eight provinces: Hamgyeong Province, Pyongyang Province, Hwanghae Province, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province, Jeolla Province, and Gyeongsang Province. And I secretly thought that we could completely leave the heavily guarded Goryeo mainland alone. Let's turn to attack their enclave - Jeju Island, which is isolated overseas. As long as we are fast enough, we can completely break through the cities on Jeju Island before the enemy can react and force them to hand over reasonable burdens..."
With the sound of "swipe", Fan Huzhu signaled his guards to hang a hand-drawn map of Jeju on the wall of the meeting hall on the second floor of the town center. The next moment, the leader of the Chiyang Infantry Management Team transformed into a gold medal lecturer. Holding a bamboo whip, he began to explain to his leader the limited knowledge he had about Goryeo. Fortunately, he had been there with the envoy that year, otherwise he would not have known that Goryeo had an enclave on the sea called Jeju Island, but it would be there. You are embarrassed and embarrassed in front of your leader!
"My lord, what Captain Fan said is absolutely true. Jeju Island is indeed the best place where our Chiyang fleet can collect reasonable burdens at the moment. Someone once heard someone say that there is a horse farm left by the Mongols on it. We just need to break it." Once we have moved to Jeju Moksufu, Daejeong, and Jeongdeok county offices, the entire Jeju Island will be ours! By then, even if we do not receive enough shade-dried wood, the free-range ponies on the island will allow us to have a good time. Last deal! You know, the Ming Dynasty has always been short of horses, especially war horses that can go on the battlefield. If we transport these captured horses back to the East China Sea, Dengzhou, or even Jinan Prefecture, and sell them to guests traveling from north to south, we can In exchange for a large amount of funds, the lumber problem that troubles us will be solved!" Yan Si, the fleet's painting officer, also agreed to attack Jeju Island for no other reason than Jeju Island is isolated overseas. Once attacked, The royal court of Goryeo will definitely not be able to send out troops to rescue in a short time, and its own forces can calmly search for all the resources needed for the development of the fleet on the island. More importantly, that place is used by the Goryeo people to exile prisoners. Two years ago, the Goryeo court incident and the constant disputes between the Westerners and the Southerners would surely affect some craftsmen and be sent to the island to do hard labor. As long as we defeat the weak stick defenders, we can take over these fleets. Incorporate talents that are urgently needed for development!
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. My subordinates think that what Captain Fan said is inappropriate. Although Jeju Island is isolated overseas, it is too far away from us, and we don't know if there are any workshops that process wood. How about that?" Set the target near Incheon, where there are Goryeo's left-behind offices, palaces, mountain cities, and supporting wood workshops..." After thinking about it again and again, Zheng Nansheng, a Jizhen veteran who had participated in the Wanli War to Aid Korea in another world, still proposed a different idea. He believes that the Jeju Island proposed by Fan Huzi is too far away and is really not conducive to the current fleet's ability to project troops. In comparison, Incheon was better. At least he had heard from businessmen traveling to the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo that from Shandong in the Ming Dynasty to Goryeo Incheon, one only needs to pass through Liaodong, pass through North Goryeo, and then go south along the west coast. Ganghwa Island is much easier to find than the troubled Jeju Island in the vast sea, relying on God's will and luck. Moreover, it is a place where Goryeo has matured. If we can successfully defeat Bangzi's naval camp and wash our feet ashore, , then the reasonable burden is not just that you can charge as much as you want!
"My lord, what Captain Zheng said makes sense. Before I joined the army, I went to Ganghwa Island with merchants from the north of Goryeo. I vaguely remember that although it is not as prosperous as my Central Plains port, it can be regarded as a thoroughfare between the north and the south. Take it there. , you can definitely get much more than Jeju Island!" Like Fan Huzi, Zheng Nansheng also has his own supporters. Lu Dongsheng, the infantry commander who was born in Tuyong, Uiju, immediately stepped forward after hearing the former's speech. , raised his hand as a courtesy, and asked Conlin to allow him to speak, and the latter, without much thought, nodded and agreed to his request.
