Chapter 1044 The whole island strategy
The news of the occupation of Jingyi and the report of Nangong Wudi were sent to Feng Zongze, who was sitting on the beachhead of Chengshan.Although the full occupation of Jeju Island is bound to carry the burden of supplying food for [-] to [-] local people, Feng Zongze thinks it is worth it.

Because exiles and official slaves are mostly resettled, the population distribution of Jeju Island is highly intensive, with [-] to [-] percent of the population distributed in three cities and nine coastal towns.It is easy to achieve the purpose of occupation-control-use.The three cities and nine towns all have a large number of official buildings available-although Jingyi is a large walled village in terms of its appearance and economic level, there are also a lot of various official buildings in the city: prison camps, school yards, barracks, County schools, official warehouses... Although the standards are not high, they are all vacant houses that can be used.It can save a lot of raw materials and labor for building a house.

The refugees from Shandong were not able to do heavy physical work at the beginning, and there was still a problem of acclimatization to overcome. Feng Zongze believed that at least in the initial stage of the engine, a large amount of local labor and facilities had to be used.

From this point of view, feeding these tens of thousands of people is not a money-losing business.At present, the lack of the Senate is the population, and the North Koreans can also be fully utilized.

Since the Senate is ready to assimilate even the people of Beiqi, a "Little China" like North Korea is a more suitable target.Furthermore, if there is a situation where the population of the people in Jeju is too large to supply food, they can also use the empty tonnage of the returning fleet to transport refugees and materials to transport some people to Kaohsiung to participate in the development-their situation is always better than that of Shandong. Refugees are much better off.

It also changed the island's demographics -- once and for all.When he thought of this, he couldn't help showing a smug smile.

Feng Zongze stared at the map in the tent, marking on the glass with colored pencils.At present, the military cleaning work is going smoothly, and the task force has already occupied Jingyi County and the two towns of Shuizhi and Xigui near Chengshan.Captured hundreds of Li Dynasty soldiers.Except that Dajing has not occupied the southern line of Jeju Island for the time being, the power of Li Dynasty has basically been eliminated.

Judging from the summaries of reports from various detachments, Li Chao's military strength on the island is very weak, not only unable to resist this invasion, but also unable to do harassment.When attacking the towns of Shuizhi and Xigui, there was no conflict that could be called a battle. Basically, the army broke up after shooting down a few soldiers.

Judging from the situation of cleaning up the two towns of Shuizhi and Xigui, the "nine towns" set up by the Li Dynasty on the island - the garrison is in a very poor armed condition, and there is a lot of shortage of soldiers.According to the confessions of the captured soldiers of the Li Dynasty, the number of frontal soldiers in the garrison was more than half of the actual soldiers.

Each "town" has hundreds of servants and servants, who are used to cultivate the official land allocated by the government of the Li Dynasty. The original intention is to raise soldiers. In fact, the Weisuo system of the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupted.The production on the land basically fell into the pockets of local town generals and magistrates.

Jeju Island is not a fertile land, and its agricultural production is backward.For the town generals and officials, the fewer people who share the produce on the land, the better.So he didn't care about the shortage of supplementary soldiers.

In this way, Feng Zongze's determination to win Jeju as soon as possible has increased weight.

Having said that, the strength of his hands is stretched.The total landing population is only more than 1000 people, and it would be too much to disperse the troops in three places: Of course, based on the information provided by the Great Library, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the General Staff, neither the Li Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty will launch an attack on the island. attack.Therefore, it can be said that there is basically no external threat, but to maintain the internal security of the island, considerable troops are still needed.

The government and army of the Li Dynasty were ineffective every time they invaded from other places.On the contrary, the "rebel army" mobilized by middle- and lower-class scholar-bureaucrats and common people showed stronger combat power.Therefore, at the front committee of the Jeju Island contingent, the three veterans agreed that the military operations on Jeju Island should take "public order" as the first goal.

Quickly seize the ruling center of the government on the island, and control the officials, scholar-bureaucrats, and landlords on the island—if there are any, it should be able to nip the future core of resistance in the bud.

The second is to quickly form a local "puppet army" - no, this name is not good.Feng Zongze thought that he had belittled himself in this way, but he was actually acknowledging the legitimacy of Li Chao's rule over the local area.

He should think of a more appropriate name, he thought about it, and thought he might as well call it "Public Security Army".Originally, the Security Force was an irregular army composed of mercenaries.Since the Japanese can be hired as security forces, it is the same thing to hire Koreans.

The servant army composed of local people played an important role in strengthening the rule.After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the establishment of a green battalion was regarded as the primary task after each occupation of a place, "Occupying a place means forming a battalion".Without the green battalion continuously serving as occupying forces and cannon fodder, the Eight Banners would not be able to complete the conquest of the whole of China.Even in the 20th century, when the nationalist consciousness was rising, the various puppet troops formed by the Japanese army played a certain role in strangling the base areas and hindering the actions of the guerrillas.

As the highest executive sent by the Senate to Jeju Island, Feng Zongze received full authorization from the Senate and the Executive Committee: he has the right to form a "local security force" that "does not use firearms".

In addition to the "security army", there must be a "leading party".Feng Zongze knows this is not difficult--in any society, there will be a large number of unsuccessful people from all walks of life. They hold grudges against the society and the government for various reasons. As long as they are given the opportunity and the possibility of changing the dynasty, this group of people will jump out by itself.

Feng Zongze has no doubts: as soon as they take down Jeju City and control the entire island, such people will appear immediately.

Since Jeju Island is an island where officials, servants, servants and exiles gather, there must be more dissatisfied people than the entire North Korean Eight Paths combined.It should be easy to find a "collaborator" from it.Not to mention the oppressed potential "proletarian leading the way".

Feng Zongze and other veterans also pinned another expectation: that is to use the Chinese exiles on the island: including Han people and Mongolians.According to the background information provided by the Great Library: Prisoners have been exiled to Tamna Island—that is, Jeju Island since the Yuan Dynasty.Although Tamna has been annexed by it since the Goryeo Dynasty, it was actually under the control of the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty.In addition to exiling prisoners to the island, the Yuan Dynasty also sent slaves to herd horses on the island. The fact that Jeju Island became an important horse breeding place was caused by the Mongols, and the horse breeds on the island also came from Mongolian horses imported by the Mongols.

The Mongols were so powerful on Jeju Island that when the Yuan Dynasty was at the end of its rope, they once considered moving the court to Jeju Island, and even planned to build a palace on the island.After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, it took a lot of effort for the Li Dynasty to subdue the Mongolian shepherds on the island and completely annexed Jeju Island.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not occupy Jeju Island, it exiled many Mongolian nobles and Han bureaucrats loyal to the Yuan Dynasty to Jeju.King Liang of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan and many of his officials were exiled here by Zhu Yuanzhang.Many of the surnames Yuan, Liang, An, and Jiang on the Korean Peninsula in old times and space are descendants of them.

These people are not Koreans. Although they have been in Jeju Island for hundreds of years, they should be different from ordinary people on the island-if there is a difference, they can be used.

Feng Zongze was thinking about his work after occupying Jeju when his secretary came in suddenly.

"Report to the chief."

"what's up?"

"One of the divers is very ill." The secretary hesitated and said, "Please tell me to pay attention to the condition of the divers, and report any situation..."

The fishing village near Seongsan is already under their direct control, and the exiled fishermen have not yet returned, so the ama they captured are still in the camp.

"Understood. You did the right thing." Feng Zongze nodded, "Send the hygienist to help them take a look."

Healing the wounded and saving lives is the easiest way to move people's hearts.Because Jeju Island was to be used as a refugee camp, the first fleet brought in a large amount of medicines and disinfectants.Hygienists are also adequately staffed.Giving the locals a little medical favor is out of the question.

He suddenly stopped the secretary who was about to leave:
"Wait, I'll go and show her myself."

"Chief—" The secretary was taken aback.She knew that her master was skilled in medicine, but she didn't expect the elder to treat a prisoner of humble origin.

Feng Zongze stood up, and he made up his mind: Since he wants to buy people's hearts, it is better to buy them thoroughly.Let's start with the prisoners around us.

Although the haenyeo are humble, let alone have any influence, once the news that I have personally diagnosed and treated them is spread, it will receive very good results.To be a ruler, in addition to powerful force, promoting "benevolence and righteousness" is also an effective means.

Ama have been lurking in the deep sea for many years, holding their breath for underwater operations. The high-intensity water pressure and lack of oxygen are prone to chronic headaches, hard of ears, tinnitus, gastrointestinal diseases, neuralgia, arthritis, etc. There is a lot of humidity, and coughing and wheezing are also common.

Ama got an abscess.It is the most common disease for people on Jeju Island.Especially among divers, there are many people suffering from this disease, and it seems to be an occupational disease.

Every shrine on Jeju Island enshrines the Goddess of the Sea and Dragon King, a deity dedicated to protecting people from skin diseases.In the ancestral hall dedicated to the goddess of the sea, there is a custom of offering sacrificial rice and putting a boiled egg on the rice.This is a beautiful wish of people, hoping that the skin can be as white and smooth as an egg after the shell is peeled off.

The sea girl who was seriously ill was Pan Shi. Feng Zongze knew that she had a fever just by looking at her red face and chapped lips without using a thermometer.

This shows that the inflammation has been quite serious.He put on his gloves and pressed his fingers: it was a typical abscess.Must adopt the way of surgical incision and drainage to be cured.
