Koryo Kingdom, Jeju Island, Daejeong County.

The appearance of Jeju Island is very regular when viewed from a high altitude, almost an ellipse, except for a few places, there is no broken and rugged coastline, bays, capes, promontories and other terrains are very rare, and flat beaches are everywhere.The center of the island is Halla Mountain, 190 meters above sea level, which is a typical extinct volcano.

In terms of imagery, Jeju Island seems to be formed by the lava squeezed out of Halla Mountain by nature and spread on the sea, flat and round!In addition, although the latitude of Jeju Island is equivalent to the Shandong Peninsula, it is obviously a subtropical climate because of the warm current passing by. Although it will snow in winter and the temperature will drop to zero, overall, it is still humid and warm!Moreover, its area is not small. The land of more than 800 square kilometers is enough to accommodate a large number of people. At least those people who developed in Chiyang in the early stage will be easily absorbed by it like water droplets!

In addition, this island also has quite rich fresh water resources, which can be used by immigrants for living and production.Therefore, to sum up, this has become the most ideal place for the early development of the Chiyang fleet. If there are some shortcomings, it is that there is no natural port with good conditions, and it is in a typhoon belt. It is very windy all year round!However, these are minor problems. Chi Yang, who is extremely short of living space, is actually not picky at this critical moment.In fact, all the large islands suitable for human habitation in the surrounding area have long been famous and beautiful. Only Jeju, whether it is climate, water and soil, or the aborigines of Korea, does not pose any great threat to Chiyang!Therefore, the leader of Kang Linkang set his greedy eyes here!The Wufang who came here this time is only the vanguard, and there will be a large group of troops coming by boat. They will use the weapons in their hands to destroy and drive away the officials and soldiers of Goryeo. In addition, they will use the tools in their hands to build and cultivate the mountains here. , plain, and finally achieve the strategic goal of backdoor laying eggs!

Well, let's get down to business!It is said that Wu Fang's expeditionary army entered Dajing County through the city gate while the defenders of Dajing County were scattered, and then they divided into two groups, one went to the prison camp where the county supervisor was located, and the other went to the county warehouse in the city. There is a large amount of food, but the cloth is not delivered in time, which is exactly what Chiyang needs most!Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, Wu Fang sent all the strongest combat forces in his hands to the prison camp and county warehouse, except for a reserve sentry at the gate of the city. These two places, especially the latter, if the Koreans jump over the wall in a hurry and set fire there, then this trip will be in vain!

The crooked streets have not undergone any hardening, and the mud splashes everywhere when you step on it. All people who walk on it must be careful with their feet, because you will step into mud ponds full of sewage at any time; the streets The houses next to it are made of volcanic rocks and thatched roofs. Basically, people standing on the ground can touch the eaves with a raised hand. Through the open wooden doors, you can see that some houses have wooden floors, and some houses have wooden floors. It is directly on the mud floor, not like the movies made by the later generations of the Great Universe Empire, where every family has a floor; but there are county schools, county warehouses, prison camps, and even a small market in the whole city. There are several small-scale shops and workshops. Judging from the Chinese characters on the signboard banners, they are nothing more than some basic businesses such as sauce workshops, cloth workshops, wine workshops, grocery stores, carpentry shops, blacksmith shops, and handicraft workshops. But at this time, there is a lot of chaos, and the shopkeeper, buddy, and master are not in sight.Not only here, but also in other streets and houses, there are no traces of Goryeo people. It seems that the movement of my family entering the city is too big, and the sticks are all looking for places to hide...

This is Wu Fang’s first impression after they entered Koryo County. It can’t be said to be good or bad. Anyway, the counties in East Asia in this time and space generally look like this. Even the dignified Goryeo Liudu, the Jianghua Left-behind Department also has this withered virtue!Therefore, a group of people walked on the main road in Dajing County without any surprises, ignoring the complicated gazes from the Korean houses on both sides!After walking for about a cup of tea, the conqueror finally arrived at the final destination of the trip, in front of the warehouse in Dajing County. Seeing the arrival of their own senior officials, the officials immediately reported to him in an ecstatic tone,

"Boss, Boss, we found more than 6000 stones of grain in the county warehouse, including a mixture of rice, wheat and miscellaneous grains, and [-] pieces of locally produced cotton cloth, as well as some rough salt, pig iron, etc. All in all, it was a bumper harvest. Good harvest..."

"How much, six thousand shi of grain, three thousand pieces of cotton cloth, his mother, I followed the leader to fight to death on Jianghua Island two months ago, and I only got four or five thousand shi of grain. This time even one person They didn’t even die, yet they got so much food and cloth, and it was still a robbery, er, no, it’s the collection of reasonable burdens to get the money quickly..." Hearing the report from his own officials, the expression on Wu Fang’s face changed from flat to It became unbelievable. I thought that I followed the leader to Jianghua Island two months ago, and Jin Qingyuan, Cui Mingji’s imperial camp hall, trained the Dujian army, and the volunteers fought repeatedly, and barely got three or four thousand shi of food; Today, with an armed force of less than 200 people, I took down the southernmost city of the Koreans without firing a few guns. Not only did I seize more than 6000 shi of grain, but I also got [-] horses from the Koreans themselves. Woven cotton!It can be said that "people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared with goods"!

"It seems that we need to persuade the lord to speed up his conquest of Jeju Island! Such a good place, such a simple people, coupled with such empty defenses, in the hands of the Koreans is too wasteful. Why don't I, Chi Yang, control it and play a greater role!" Putting away the chaotic thoughts in his heart, this guy turned his attention to the docile and obedient prisoner with his hands tied behind his back like a sheep.It seems that I have to persuade the leader to speed up the conquest and colonization of Jeju Island, otherwise, it will be impossible for my side to conquer Jeju so easily when Goryeo escapes from Bingzi's random war vortex!Thinking of the vast seaside plains around Dajing County and the large grasslands at the foot of Halla Mountain, Wu Fang felt a sense of mission, a sense of mission to bring these fertile lands under the rule of Chiyang!With this continent-like island, Chiyang can expand his living space by ten times, or even dozens of times. Finally, everyone no longer needs to live on this small island of Tuoji!

"Boss, we found a large number of official and private slaves in the city and nearby villages and towns. The number is about a few thousand. Chief Guo sent someone to ask for instructions. What attitude should we take towards these people?" Just when the Wufang made up its mind , the orderly brought him a new problem.Guo Gang, the head of the reserve sentry, found many private servants and servants of Goryeo officials who had lost their freedom outside the city. After counting, the number of them was as high as several thousand. His body was full of scars, so he didn't dare to be professional, so he sent someone back to ask him how to deal with these people.

"Recruit volunteers among them. Those who are willing to go with us will each be given five buckets of food and three feet of cloth. Those who are unwilling will also be given a meal of rice porridge. The leader once said that we must win over the enemy's people. For their own use, these people live like pigs and dogs under the Li Dynasty, maybe we can win them all over with a little profit!" Now that Wu Fang has bought more than [-] shi of grain, naturally Wu Fang will not put those odds away In my heart, these scattered grains are enough for the officials and servants in Dajing County to have a full meal!And after eating their stomachs, the guards in the minds of these officials and servants will be reduced correspondingly. If they are promised a large profit on this basis, maybe they will go to Guangming in groups. Chiyang can now It is said that there is an extreme shortage of people, so as long as they sincerely rely on them, there is absolutely no reason not to accept them!

"Okay! I'll let Chief Guo and the others do it!"

Three days later, Chiyang withdrew from Dajing County. Along with them were more than a hundred human-powered unicycles, two-wheelers, and seven to eight hundred official and private servants. These people were going to return after abandoning Dajing County. Build fortifications in Dongri, and then stand by and wait for help!After all, Wu Fang only has so many troops on hand. If he forcibly occupies Dajing County and does not leave, it is very likely that the latter’s city walls will not be paved. Use the artillery on the warship to help your side defend!At least in that way, the pressure he faces will be correspondingly reduced, and the strength of the Chiyang Expeditionary Fleet can also be concentrated accordingly!

Therefore, after Wu Fang and others returned to Dongri, they began to prepare for the battle in full swing. While commanding the banner army, the reserve soldiers set up ambush positions in key places; Koryo officials and servants renovate the docks and trestles, and build a forward base near Dongili!And in this way, when Chiyang's main army arrives, they will be able to move into this temporary camp with watchtowers and simple wooden houses for the first time!

"Officer Hu, how long will it take for our food to be transported to the forward base?" Wiping the sweat off his face, Wu Fang thrust the iron ax in his hand into the tree trunk, and began to ask Hu Bacai, the official who was in charge of counting and capturing the logistics of this operation, came, and all around him were the newly attached army and Koryo official servants who were struggling to cut down, process, and transport wood. These people ate food every day. White rice and all kinds of kimchi, so the work can be regarded as hard work. The young and strong among them even jumped into the cold sea with their shirts off to help Chiyang build the trestle bridge regardless of the sudden drop in temperature!This made Wu Fang, the commander of the expedition fleet, very satisfied. The Koreans were indeed easy to bribe as their leader said. Now the only thing that makes this guy a headache is the problem of food transportation!
