Chapter 1109 Defense
He is still sick in his heart. From the Pu family brothers, he knows that the wakun is very interested in horses. The wakun leader named Ni is stuck in the horse pen every day when he arrives on the island. Horse stalls and various land instruments.

Although the official archives are a mess, we can still see the approximate size of the official horses and pastures on the island.Master Jin was particularly worried about this matter—after the fall of the Three Cities and Nine Towns, during the blank period when the ruling power of the Li Dynasty had just collapsed and the Japanese army had not been able to extend its tentacles to the inland, he ordered his men to carry out large-scale Looting the official pastures not only took away a large number of official horses and cattle, but also incorporated many official slaves from the pastures into his stockade.In many places, the subordinates directly moved the landmarks and took the most fertile land in the official racecourse as their own.

Although Master Jin stayed at home, he knew the situation of the entire Jeju Island very well through the active activities of Huang Yunyu, Cui Xuanze, Zhao Minggui and other minions.Seeing that the Japanese kun is laying out like a master, he is laying out the layout methodically one by one.

Recently, there have been a small group of japanese people active in the inland, and now they have sent letters to ask everyone to prepare to attend some "CPPCC meeting". Master Jin feels more and more that the crisis is approaching.

It seems that if you don't get rid of the Wo Kun, you won't be able to live in peace.Master Jin thought about it for a few days, and finally decided to welcome Master Wang back.

Mr. Jin is worthy of being a hero on the island. He has seriously considered the issue of "embezzlement of state-owned assets" after Master Wang came back, and had a serious discussion with his staff around him--the final conclusion is that it will not be a problem.Although Jeju Island has always been a place of migrants, it is also a "kingdom land" after all, and the imperial court will never sit idly by.If I can do my best to welcome Master Wang back, the imperial court will definitely let the past things go by. Living things like official horses, official cows, official slaves and maidservants, as long as they report "war chaos and loss", there is no proof of death.As for the border of the ranch, the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself: natural disasters, random chaos, and unstable court situation. The new Dezhou ranch must only want to be safe and sound, and will never pursue it seriously.

Originally, Master Jin instructing Zhao Minggui to collude with Huang Yunyu to bribe Park Dehuan was just a traditional self-protection technique of the rich: to grasp the new ruler's movements, and then try to profit from it.At this time, he felt that he had mastered such a character as Park Dehuan, which added a lot of weight to himself in "meeting Master Wang".

This time Cui Xuanze went to the peninsula to make a special trip to meet Shin Kyung-yu, the envoy of the Jeolla Doge Army—the Jeju judge Li Dadong who died in the battle when Jeju fell was his confidant.

"...Master Shen said that the imperial court is indeed discussing the recovery of Jeju." Cui Xuanze said in a low voice, "There is no difference in the court's discussion, but the imperial court is short of soldiers and food, so they can only order him to 'restore the cameras'. Lord Shen does not know With the strength of the Japanese army, it will not be possible to send troops for a while."

"What 'camera recovery' is just an excuse!" Zhao Minggui scolded.

"No, according to Mr. Shen, the atmosphere of the imperial court is different from that of Mr. Guanghai. Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the barbarians, and he is very disgusted with the peace talks at the beginning." Cui Xuanze said, "Now the old Western faction is in power. , the masters in the court are clamoring to mobilize horses and fight hard, and the soldiers are coming to the Yalu River."

Zhao Minggui said impatiently: "We don't care what the master in the court says. Just say that the thieves on this island, does the court care about it?"

"Even the barbarians are going to be beaten, so what are a few Japanese kuns on this island?" Cui Xuanze drank a few sips of wine, "Master Shen said that we have to find out the details of the kuns before he can do it." send troops."

Zhao Minggui said: "What else? I'm afraid these officials will not send troops so easily."

"Master Zhao, you really see thousands of miles away!" Cui Xuanze immediately flattered him.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, what terms does Master Shen offer?"

"Master Shen said that he doesn't have enough soldiers, and he will ask Master Jin to organize 'righteous soldiers' to respond together."

Zhao Minggui thought this was not a difficult task.Master Jin originally had two hundred family members.There are tens of thousands of slaves, servants, hired workers and family members attached to him.It is not a problem to organize thousands of volunteers.

Volunteers don't need much expenses, they just eat three full meals, and then promise to reduce their tribute, rent and so on.Compared with the officers and soldiers who need to spend money to start, it is much more economical, and there is no need for pensions when they die.Master Jin originally had this plan - the combat power of volunteer soldiers has always been stronger than that of officers and soldiers.After the battle was won, the people and wealth they transported could not escape once the wakun sailed away by boat.Not only is it enough to feed the volunteer soldiers, but it can also make a lot of money.

He nodded: "And then?"

"Then it's food and rewards..." Cui Xuanze said anxiously, and glanced at Zhao Minggui again.

Zhao Minggui remained silent for a while, Master Jin had expected this.But exactly what the rules are depends on the other party's price tag, and Mr. Jin didn't allow him what he could promise and what he couldn't promise.After thinking for a while, he said: "It's easy to talk about food and grass. Of course, the officers and soldiers will cross the sea to fight the Japanese army. Of course, Mr. Jin will pay for it. As for the reward, Master Shen has to give a regulation." He said with a smile, "I have to trouble you to run more A few times."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, it's a matter of course for me to serve the lords." Cui Xuanze accompanied him with a smile, "Now it's easy for me to go in and out of the island—with Pu Dehuan's help as a cover."

"Pu Dehuan is quite useful. We must hold him firmly!" Zhao Minggui said.

"I understand." Cui Xuanze said loudly, startling himself.

"Salute!" With the roar of Kim Yong-joo, 24 members of the military band of the North Korean army of the Jeju Island Security Force, holding traditional musical instruments such as flutes, pipes, and flutes, and wearing big black hats, began to play "To You salute, Comrade Commander".Although this majestic march is obviously not expressive enough when played with traditional instruments, it is still in tune.

All the soldiers of the Security Army straightened their spears at the same time, and Zhu Mingxia, accompanied by Nangong Wudi, inspected the [-] North Korean troops of the Security Army.

The North Korean security force formed by absorbing officials and maidservants in Jeju Island has begun to take shape. The three companies are training and performing duties. For shooting training, Nangong Wudi used the coach gun to train some subjects of queue, gun handling and assassination.

Because of the lack of long-range projectile weapons, with the approval of Nangong Wudi, Jin Yongzhu carried out bow and arrow education, so now everyone is equipped with bow and arrow - Zhu Mingxia is not too cold about this, it is just better than nothing.Still have to equip the rifle as soon as possible.

Amidst the marching music of folk music, Zhu Mingxia held the command knife in his hand and reviewed the troops with respect.

The music stopped, Zhu Mingxia returned to the front of the queue, nodded, and Jin Yongzhu hurriedly shouted: "Take it easy!"

The whole group sighed.Zhu Mingxia felt quite satisfied, the queue was quite neat, although it seemed that his body was not strong enough because of nutrition, but his energy and spirit had already come out.It seems that Nangong Wudi's training work is still good.Of course, there is also the bonus effect of the constant "gifts from the three guests" by the sergeants of the Japanese security forces who are in charge of specific training.

Zhu Mingxia coughed, and began to read aloud the order issued by the Senate to the Military Council: officially confer the designation of the "North Korean Advance Column of the Security Force of the Jeju Island Security Force" and the title of "White Horse" troop.Mark the troops with galloping white horses.While he was reading aloud in Mandarin, Pu Demeng was translating loudly—to be honest, he had been thinking about this number for a long time and didn't know how to translate it. It was Chief Nangong himself who took out the translation.

After the order was read out, all the staff shouted "for the Senate and the people" three times-in vague Mandarin.This is also the result of months of hard training.According to Fu Sansi's newly issued order: Whether it is the regular army, the national army or the public security army, Mandarin must be uniformly used as the common language.

There are some flexibility for security forces composed of foreigners and ethnic minorities, but it is also required to implement the work of unifying the language as soon as possible.

After reviewing the technology, Zhu Mingxia returned to the headquarters of the prison battalion, and Nangong Wudi reported the current defense work of Jeju Island.

Nangong Wudi explained the map one by one.At present, among the three cities of Jeju Island, Dajing County and Jingyi County have a farming labor squadron respectively. They are equivalent to garrison troops, equipped with cold weapons, mainly focusing on agricultural and animal husbandry production, and taking into account local guards.

Because the agricultural reclamation squadron is full of cold weapons and lacks combat power.Therefore, Nangong Wudi strengthened a platoon of Fubo Army as the backbone for each county.After the local security forces are formed, each county will be equipped with a security force company.

"...After the mass purification of refugees is completed, hundreds of households will be resettled in each county, and then slowly train local national army soldiers to replace these security forces." Nangong Wudi introduced his next step.

"Yes, how did the other troops arrange it?"

The company headquarters and the remaining platoon of the disbanded company were deployed at Chaotianpu Wharf as a garrison.In response to the possible counterattack of the Li Dynasty army, Nangong Wudi concentrated the remaining infantry company, an engineer company and other sporadic troops in and around Jeju City as a mobile force.In other towns, he deployed only a small number of guard troops.The Japanese Company of the Security Force serves as the garrison of Jeju City.The North Korean security forces are used as an auxiliary force.In terms of defense deployment, the north is more important than the south.

"Our military strength is really not enough for such a big island." Nangong Wudi said, "The inland is empty. We can't control these big landlords hiding in the mountains, and even the official horse farm has been taken up by them. Nick talks to me about this every day, but we don't have the troops and manpower to go inland and take over the racecourse now."
