Jeolla-do, Korea, an unnamed island off the coast of Jindo-gun.

Therefore, the food drawn from various lottery became a very powerful supplement!Next, in order to fill the stomachs of all the soldiers and civilians under the rule, and even more people from Xutu to join their team, the Chiyang high-level officials either use their brains on the Korean aborigines and intensify their exploitation; or build large-scale transportation Merchant ships have traveled thousands of miles to buy food from the mainland of Korea to rescue the emergency!In short, there are still more than four long months between now and the wheat harvest season. If Chiyang wants to survive this period safely, he must do everything possible to get precious food!

And this time to go to Gimpo for trade, in addition to meeting Li Chengxuan and Li Nanhu, the emissary of Youyizheng Cui Mingji to exchange information, Kang Linkang, the envoy of Tamna and the governor of Yousuying in Jeolla Province, also needs to send the embassy to Jinpo. A large amount of purchased food, timber, minerals, ginseng, coal, alcohol and other materials were transported back to the mainland!Yes, in order to be able to do business frequently with Koreans, Kang Lin not only built a temporary business station in Gyodong Island, but also established a Tamna Chamber of Commerce in Gimpo County, Gyeonggi-do, which specializes in purchasing grain, timber, and minerals from Gimpo. Ginseng, coal and wine, shipped back to the local market for sale!

And their matchmaking person is Cui Sanshu, a relative of Master Cui Mingji. In order to win over Kang Lin, a powerful soldier, the latter not only gave Tamna Chamber of Commerce the most favorable treatment in terms of grain, timber, coal, and ginseng prices, but also Spare no effort to search for the commodities that Chiyang needs, such as iron, copper, lead, tin and other minerals, which were not produced in the Gimpo area, but Cui Sanshu traveled hundreds of miles from the Huanghai Road through the relationship of his clan uncle Cui Mingji. By water, a large amount of high-quality iron ore, copper ore, and lead and tin products were brought in for Chiyang merchant ships to transport back to Jeju for industrial development!

Therefore, in order to be able to maintain this purchase channel for a long time, Kang Lin not only brought five medium-sized mirrors, twenty small mirrors, fifty glass cups, twenty jars of five-jin Gaoyangzui, 120 bottles of Coke, Fifty bottles of Harbin beer, five bottles of Huoxiangzhengqi water, ten bottles of medicinal alcohol, and a bottle of sulfanilamide tablets in a pack of [-] were traded with Cui Sanshu's Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce. They also brought two large, two small, four sailing boats, and four hundred The heavily armed Hunan Army, Huai Army, and Taiping Army soldiers came to serve as white gloves for Koryo Zuo Yizheng Cui Mingji Cui, and did some dirty work that the latter was inconvenient to do!

For example, the latter is currently seeking the position of Zuo Yizheng in the imperial court. Although he has already opened up the links in the palace through donations, there are always some young people jumping up and down, trying to stop the king of Korea, Li Ji. Enable the latter to serve as Yizheng Zuoyizheng!Therefore, the latter, in a rage, sent his confidant Li Chengxuan and Li Nanhu to send a message to Kanglin who was far away in Jeju, wanting to borrow an elite force from him to directly physically destroy those bastards who hindered his ascension!And Kang Lin was also very kind to the other party. After receiving Li Chengxuan's letter, he not only personally commanded the fleet, but also brought all the newly acquired [-] elite soldiers from the Hunan Army, Huai Army, and Taiping Army. My partner, Zuo Yizheng of Goryeo Ui-government, and Cui Ming-gil, an official Cao Juanshu, stand on the platform to cheer!

"Okay, that's it for today! System, please realize all the samurai cards and archer ashigaru cards I drew earlier, and also all the samurai swords, bamboo spears and Japanese-style longbows I have in stock. And take it out! Since Mr. Cui Mingji wants to use my Chiyang troops to act, how can I make him happy with hundreds of soldiers from the Hunan Army, Huai Army, and Taiping Army! Some cards come out, so I can play with his old man..."

Seeing that his luck seemed to be exhausted today, Kang Lin immediately stopped the big draw for experience points!At the same time, he also ordered the system to materialize all the warrior cards and archer ashigaru cards he had drawn earlier on the two old lock ships!In his opinion, since he came here to support Cui Mingji and Cui Zuoxiang on the platform, it would be more appropriate for them to act in the clothes of Japanese pirates. Otherwise, a group of white-skinned ghosts with blond hair and blue eyes suddenly appeared in the remote and remote interior of Koryo , there is a problem at first sight!In fact, he also wanted to bring a new Koryo army to Gimpo, but those bastards were too unbearable, and after training for a long time, none of them could be used!Therefore, we can only send the Japanese people to go out. Anyway, the samurai drawn by these cards will turn into white light and disappear when the time is up, so it is better to give full play to their remaining value before that!

"Officer Peng, where are you now?"

Now that he had a plan in mind, Kang Lin didn't hesitate at the moment. After leaving the captain's room, he immediately ordered Peng Yushu to command the four ships to set sail for a long voyage, aiming directly at Jinpu County beside the Han River!He wants to get there as quickly as possible, and then meet with Cui Mingji's special envoy, Li Chengxuan, to see who his first target is!

The distance from Jindo-gun, Jeolla-do to Ganghwa Island, where the Ganghwa Remaining Division is located, is only a few hundred nautical miles. With the speed of old lock boats and military rice boats, it takes six to seven days to get there!Therefore, when the morning sun rose from the sea on the seventh day, four Chiyang warships with large sails appeared on Qiaotong Island at the mouth of the Ganghwa Strait with all the wind and dust!There is an official trading station established by Chiyang. Kang Lin and others just took the opportunity to go ashore to make some repairs. By the way, the craftsmen there will check the ship to see if there is any leak or leak, and the ship board needs to be replaced!

"Villain Zhang Shuanggui, brought all the brothers to meet the leader!"

"Deputy General Zhang, don't be polite, and brothers, please stand up and talk! You have worked hard on the deserted island. I personally led the fleet to the north this time. In addition to transporting goods and trading with the Koreans, I also want to see Look at you warriors stationed abroad for the team and making great contributions! Because without your hard work and persistence, Chiyang would not have been able to develop so fast and so steadily! Don’t worry, your achievements are obvious to all of you. , half a year, as long as you stay on duty for another half a year, other brothers will come to replace you! At that time, money, rice, fields, women, as long as I have, you can take it yourself..."

Stepping on a solid wooden trestle, Kang Lin, under the guard of a group of officers and personal soldiers, soon saw Chiyang's temporary commercial station on Qiaotong Island, and the person in charge of the commercial station, the deputy of the Second Division of the Reserve Army. General Manager Zhang Shuanggui, the commander of the fourth team, is the right-hand man of Wan Hong, the captain of the Iron Man Army. Gaining the true trust of Chiyang's senior management, he made an exception as the captain of the Iron Man Army, and was sent out to the reserve army as the deputy general and team officer!This is not a demotion and appointment, but a decision made by Chiyang's senior management after careful consideration!

You must know that the Chiyang reserve army imitated the regular flag military regulations, and also set up a five-level organization of battalion division team sentry armor. The deputy commander is the deputy chief officer of the first-level organization. In Chiyang, where the main force is less than [-] people, he is already a mid-to-high-ranking military officer with considerable strength!Moreover, the relationship between the Chiyang regular army and the reserve soldiers is not static. If the regular army does not do well in combat or training, it may be replaced by reserve soldiers who perform well; If they perform well in training, then they may also replace those regular bannermen who perform poorly!Therefore, Zhang Shuanggui, the deputy commander of the reserve army, as long as his officers and soldiers are strong enough, he may also take the position of deputy commander of the regular banner army in the near future!At that time, the salary and allowance he can get will be double what he is now!

"Deputy General Zhang, how long has it been since you built a temporary commercial station of this scale, the speed is really beyond my expectations! To be honest, as long as you can make the ground Leveling and building a few wooden houses is up to the mark in my opinion! But now you have not only built rows of wooden houses, but also leveled and hardened a huge cargo yard! Not bad, really good! I think if I could allocate more manpower to you, maybe even the wooden parapet outside the commercial station has been built now! By the way, our commercial station has not only the unfinished parapet, but also the completed sentry tower. Are there any other fortifications?"

Looking at the neat and orderly wooden houses, the towering watchtower, the flat and hardened cargo yard, and the unfinished rammed earth wall around the outer ring, Kang Lin couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction!Being able to lead his reserve soldiers and the naturalized people of Koryo to build such a large-scale business station in such a short period of time is enough to show that Zhang Shuanggui has a flexible mind and good ability. It seems that he and other Chiyang high-level officials have not misunderstood the person... …

With this in mind, Kang Lin immediately took out a cigar that was rewarded by the system from his pocket, and threw it at Zhang Shuanggui, who was in awe!You know, his Boss Kang Da is a fastidious person, since he thinks that the latter has done a good job, he still has to give the reward that should be given!Just after throwing out a cigar of approval, this guy turned his attention to the mountaintop building under construction!Let's just think that the building on the top of the hill is a fort. After all, apart from setting up a fort or a watchtower, it is actually quite inconvenient to live in!

"Yes, sir! The hilltop building you see is actually the fort of our commercial station. It has not been completed yet. After it is fully completed, we only need to add a few twelve-pound or ten-pound doors to it. The eight-pound long-barreled cannon can successfully control the mouth of the Jianghua Strait! Of course, if we can find a suitable place to build a fort on the opposite Ganghwa Island, the effect will be even greater. good!"

"Oh, you said that a group of outsiders wanted to build a fort on Qiaotong Island, and then control the estuary of the Han River. If those Koreans on Ganghwa Island agreed, they didn't come out to try to stop you one or two? Besides, Even if they agree, how can the government and the royal family behind them just sit back and watch you build forts at their sea entrances to block the route?"
