Chapter 158: Tsushima Mamoru


Zong Yicheng, who is less than 25 years old this year, presided over the evaluation of Yanyuan Kinseki Castle Castle Tower on Manan Island.

Zong Yicheng, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, finally entered the evaluation room.

He was already tall and stood looking around at the people lying on the ground.

The retainers showed their majesty even more. , Yanagawa Tiaoxing secretly curled his lips.

He had never been afraid of Zong Yicheng since he was a child.

Zong Yicheng just had a good father.

He, the Yanagawa family, has been the patriarch of the Zong family for several generations and has made great contributions to Tsushima Domain. , but still a subordinate.

Yanagawa Tiaoxing, who has always had high ambitions, is really dissatisfied.

Today's world is not the turbulent Warring States era, but it is still feasible to overcome the lower and replace the higher.

Yes, the target of Yanagawa's revitalization was Matsumae Kimihiro of the Matsumae clan.

They were both in a desolate frontier and a retainer.

Matsumae Kohiro just snatched control of the southern part of the Ezo tunnel from the Andō clan, and the shogunate therefore recognized it.

For the Matsumae clan, he succeeded in defeating the superior.

Yanagawa Tiaoxing wanted to seize the Tsushima domain, highlight the family name, and pass it on to future generations.

As a retainer, Yanagawa Tiaohe's biggest reliance on being able to compete with Soyoshi was not his family's hundreds of military strength, but the Zong family's behavior of secretly changing shogunate documents in order to collude with North Korea and the shogunate.

This was a serious crime.

He and Soyoshi had the same intention Know everything.

Although Zong Yicheng was not the one who made the decision, Zong Yicheng's father Zong Yichi and his grandfather Yanagawa Tonobu jointly discussed this method to give North Korea and the shogunate an opportunity to contact each other.

After the Battle of Keichang Bunroku When the two countries broke off diplomatic relations, the two countries established diplomatic relations through Tsushima.

However, the crime of secretly colluding and altering documents has also been left behind.

Now both families are afraid that the other party will report and cause huge disasters.

Zong Yicheng looked at the thin Yanagawa Tiaoxing with a cold look.

The family's stone height was only more than 20,000 stone.

Of course, this was only the land of Zhixing and did not count the income from trade with North Korea.

However, the Zong family rewarded the Yanagawa family with a land of 2,000 stone and allowed Yanagawa to The family maintains two annual ships for trading with North Korea.

These are merchant ships that can enter and leave North Korea several times a year and are very profitable.

But Yanagawa Tiaoxin is still not satisfied.

He is really greedy.

I really don't know how the wise Yanagawa Tiaoxin could have such a greedy and stupid grandson.

Even if his father decided to marry his sister to Yanagawa Tiao Xing, it would not change his ambition.

"Get up."

Zong Yicheng spoke after sitting down.

All the retainers stood up and sat upright in response.

"Yesterday, we received an order from General Zhengyi, ordering us to find out the real identity of the Jeju Ming people as soon as possible.

At the same time, we were ordered to prepare for war against Ma."

Zong Yicheng looked around at everyone and said.

"I ordered Yamamoto Taka to dispatch thirty ships to check the status of the Akito Navy on Jeju Island early in the morning.

Report as soon as possible."

Zong Yicheng ordered.

"As ordered, my subordinates will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Yamamoto Takafuchi, the captain of the ship, replied.

"Soyoshiaki.

I order you to summon the Ashigaru for training and await orders from the shogunate."

Soyoshiro turned to his cousin.

As a general of the ashigaru sect, Soyoshi Ming fell to the ground to receive his order.

"Yagawa Tiaoxing, I order you to form a force of 300 troops and put it under the command of Zong Yoshiaki for training."

Zong Yoshicheng looked at Yanagawa Tiaoxing playfully.

"Follow your orders."

Yanagawa Tiaoxing fell to the ground and accepted the order with hatred.

The Yanagawa family only had four hundred ashigaru.

It is said that it would be difficult to support an army of two hundred with two thousand stones.

They were all established with the proceeds from trade.

Zong Yicheng mobilized most of the Yanagawa family's military strength with just one move, which really made Yanagawa's heart hurt.

However, this was the order of the general who conquered the barbarians.

Zong Yicheng took advantage of this, and Yanagawa Tiaoxing was helpless.

This was the righteousness of the family, and Yanagawa could only endure it.

"Imagawa Mingichi, form a force of two hundred and hand it over to Zong Yoshiaki for training."

Zong Yoshiaki ordered.

Imagawa, who is the mayor of Kinseki City, takes the order.

"Junichi Hayakawa, use the Busan Commercial House to find out the details of the person through the North Koreans."

Zong Yicheng ordered.

"Follow your orders."

Junichi Hayakawa, the leader of the castle town, responded.

"Sir, Jeju has harvested two crops of sweet potatoes this year, both of which were bumper harvests.

The yield per mu can reach three and a half dan.

The Jeju government office used silver taels to purchase more than 500,000 dan of sweet potatoes.

Thirty-four thousand dan of corn, Jeju and Seogwi The granaries in , Dajing, Chengshan and other places are all full."

Bai Shidi reported to Zhao Lie quite proudly.

Jeju Government Office, this is Zhao Lie's evaluation meeting on Jeju Island's political affairs.

As the actual host of civil affairs, Bai Shidi is still very proud.

According to the Koreans, Jeju has never had such a good harvest.

"Sir, we, the people of Jeju Island, have never harvested so much food.

Your Excellency, you freed official slaves like us, divided the fields for untouchables like us, and allotted seeds to mules and horses, so that we have such a good harvest.

People from all over Jeju Island praised each other.

Mr.

Mingren," Li Xuan, the current chief of the Korean Affairs Department, said respectfully.

As a North Korean who tried his best to be close to Mingren and was flexible and sensible, Wanji would certainly set such an example.

After Jeju established the Department of Korean Affairs, Bai Shidi became the director, and Li Xuan and Song Zhe became deputy directors, which is actually the Handler person.

Today was the first time for them to participate in Mr.

Mingren's evaluation meeting.

Of course, they were excited.

This was the rhythm of being recognized.

They finally joined the upper class Mr.

Mingren's circle.

"Li Xuan, are you exaggerating?"

Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"Sir, I am definitely not exaggerating.

Most of the people on Jeju Island were official and private slaves.

Now they are all civilians, and they are assigned fields.

Even the tenant Mr.

Mingjin has set a maximum rent of 40%.

This year's harvest will be good, and the family Everyone has money to live on, most of them supplement their household income, some make new clothes, and some renovate new houses.

It is really a grand occasion that has never happened in Jeju."

Li Xuan defended excitedly, extremely excited.

Li Xuan was wronged.

He may have been exaggerated in the past, but now he has remembered not to repeat the crime again.

Now the people of Jeju Island praise him as such.

"Sir, there are no big omissions in what Li Xuan said.

This year's harvest has been good, and every family has surplus food and money.

A lot of it has been used to buy items and build new houses.

Now the fleet coming here has brought a huge increase in cement and iron.

In addition, cloth, jewelry and other groceries have also increased significantly, and Luo Changshan, who is shipped here to sell them, is smiling from ear to ear."

Wan Ji said with a smile.

"Yes, sir, many families in Jeju have established memorial tablets for Master Mingren, and they burn incense and pray for blessings every day."

Song Zhe said cautiously.

"Oh, who are the tablets for?"

Zhao Lie was quite interested.

"Sir, um," Song Zhe hesitated for a moment, "Some of them are named Lord Bai, some are named Lord Ma, some are named Emperor Ming, and some are dedicated to Lord Mingren."

Zhao Lie laughed and nodded, "That's very good.

Today we are all citizens of one country, and the Jeju government will not interfere with what the people of Jeju do."

Zhao Lie is of course happy that all the people will return home.

Many people don't know their home country.

They only know who will follow whoever can bring them a good life.

Now that Mingren is in Jeju, all the people will return home.

Zhao Lie and Huang Han locked eyes, it was time.

"Everyone, since Jeju is so close to the Japanese country, and the Japanese country has always been predatory, I have ordered Jeju to establish a reserve military service system.

Starting today in Jeju, Chengding, who is between the ages of 18 and 35, will train three men every year during the winter leisure period.

In March, the Polu Army sent soldiers for training, and paid them monthly for three months.

One tael.

In the future, the reserve soldiers will be the garrison of Jeju.

They will assist the Polu Army in defending Jeju.

If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, they will immediately form a team to join the war.

When participating in the war, the military pay will be calculated as one tael of silver per month.

If there are casualties, they will be treated as the Polu Army’s pension. , you can enter the Martyrs' Shrine and enjoy the incense and sacrifices."

Zhao Lie said loudly.

"From now on, the Jeju Government Office will take the lead and be implemented by the Polu Army and the Korean Affairs Department."

Everyone agreed with a roar.

Zhao Lie has been waiting for this day for a long time.

The neighboring Japanese country is very bloodthirsty.

Jeju is the foundation connecting the Ming Dynasty and Beihua Island.

The Polu army is attacking Ezo again.

The Japanese country will not tolerate it.

Sooner or later, the two sides will fight.

Due to the limited financial resources of the country, it was impossible to expand the army indefinitely, and it was divided into Jeju and Bukhwa Island.

Therefore, it became inevitable to establish a reserve military service system in Jeju and Bukhwa Island.

The first is to prepare soldiers for the Polu Army.

After all, they were much stronger than Sangguadanzi after the training.

The second is that after the training, they are enough to serve as a city defense force.

This harvest was established when the islanders returned to their hearts, and also to establish a foundation for implementation in Beihua Island.

"Bai Shidi, Li Xuan, Song Zhe, remember, the purpose of establishing this reserve force is to protect their family property.

No one wants the Japanese and Li Chao to come and take away their private property and return to the status of slaves. .

We must do our best on this point."

Zhao Lie warned.

Bai Shidi, Li Xuan, and Song Zhe bowed to accept the order.

"If anyone who is unwilling to perform military service has his land confiscated, he will be sent back to North Korea by ship."

Of course, Zhao Lie implemented it with an iron fist, and those who did not comply would not be killed, but you don't have to be a citizen of this place.

"As ordered."

Several people finally realized Zhao Lie's determination.

The next day, the reserve military service system was rolled out across the island.

In order to successfully complete the tasks assigned by Zhao Lie, the Polu Army dispatched a thousand headquarters in Jeju, five hundred generals in the west and five hundred generals in Seongsan, and the Korean Affairs Department.

Dozens of civil servants were dispatched to cooperate with the Polu army in going deep into the villages to deliver training.

All the people at the bottom of Jeju have no resistance.

The three-month training every year during the farm break is really not a problem.

Working as a slave for many years is more difficult and dangerous than this.

What's more, Master Mingren also gives money, and some people even And he was proud of the extra money he got.

However, the situation is different for some large and small landowners.

They themselves or their sons and nephews also have to serve, which is difficult for them to accept.

What's more, with the arrival of the Polu Army, they did not gain much, just because of the bumper harvest.

It's just a sharecropping, but it's cut off from blood ties with the powerful and powerful people in the country.

Of course, they are dissatisfied.

"Give this letter to the visitor and tell him to leave the island and return to Jeonju as soon as possible."

Park Yongtai told the housekeeper in his study.

Jeonju Mu Choi Ho, whom he had dated half a month ago, sent someone to Daejeong disguised as a fisherman by sea, found his door, and asked him to help Li Chao find out the Ming Dynasty's military strength, who was the leader, and the situation of the fleet.

Park Yongtai hesitated for a moment.

No answer.

However, in recent days, the Reserve Military Service Law has been implemented, allowing him to train his nephews and untouchables together.

This is completely shameless.

Pu Yongtai could no longer bear it, and finally put the Ming Army's five to six thousand regular soldiers on the island, twenty or thirty The incident of the Xiyi warship was written in a letter and reported to Quanzhou.

"Master, this is a matter of losing your head.

This..." the butler knelt down to persuade.

"There is no need to say more.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different.

I am really unwilling to submit to the traitor."

Pu Yongtai gritted his teeth.

The housekeeper had no choice but to go out to the woodshed in the backyard to find the two spies who had been hiding there for many days.

In the dim night, the housekeeper, who thought he was very careful, didn't notice a pair of eyes staring at him from a distance.
