"Conscription from Dafu Island?" Ruan Xiaoqi was puzzled.

Because from Ruan Xiaoqi's point of view, Dafu Island is full of Koreans, and few of them can speak Chinese. Even if they are recruited, it may not be easy to train. It is better to directly transfer troops from Liangshanbo.Now the population of Liangshanbo is increasing, it has reached 30, and the number of troops in Liangshanbo is also close to [-]. Many people can be transferred here.

"Yes, we need to recruit soldiers from Dafu Island. One is to solve the shortage of soldiers, and the other is to allow the people of Dafu Island to better integrate into the Liangshan regime. They have soldiers in our army, so they naturally have one heart with us. .” Wu Dong said.

The second point is the most important. When all the able-bodied men of Dafu Island join the army and follow the Liangshan army to fight in the south and north, they will naturally recognize the Liangshan regime from the bottom of their hearts, and they will never have the heart to leave the Liangshan regime.

"In that case, I'll go to conscription tomorrow." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

It was night, at Wu Dong's residence, Wu Dong called Ruan Xiaoqi, Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong, and Hua Rong to his place to study the governance of Dafu Island together.

"Dafu Island now has 6000 people, which can be divided into six villages to form a township. Gongsun Sheng, you are now the head of Dafu Township. Do you have any good suggestions for governing here?" Wu Dong said.

"According to the policies we implemented in Liangshan, village self-government is also implemented here, and our Liangshan jury system is also implemented." Gongsun Sheng said.

In fact, Gongsun Sheng admired the two systems of Liangshan very much. He was originally a Taoist, and Taoism emphasizes "governance by doing nothing".The government doesn't need to take care of everything, but the village head selected by the people manages most of the things. Everything is handled in an orderly manner, which is almost equivalent to governance by doing nothing.So when he came to Dafu Island, he didn't have any special views, but continued to implement the two sets of policies of Liangshan.

"One thing to note is that when they are asked to elect the village chief on their own, they must choose a village chief who understands Chinese. If they don't understand Chinese, they cannot become the village chief." Wu Dong said again.

"It's still the big leader who has thought carefully... Yes, this will be my territory in Liangshan from now on, and it will be my Han territory. Of course you can't understand Chinese... In addition to the village chief who needs to know Chinese, he also needs to promote Chinese education on the island. .” Gongsun Sheng said by inference.

"What are your thoughts on promoting Chinese language education?" Wu Dong asked with a smile.

"You can let those village chiefs teach the villagers first, and give them some rewards, such as exquisite porcelain, silk and satin, etc. if the village chiefs teach well... In addition, the villagers who have learned Chinese can take them to the Central Plains and let them Seeing the prosperous civilization of my country, they will definitely yearn for the Central Plains even more, and after they come back and publicize, more villagers will want to learn Chinese." Gongsun Sheng pondered for a while and said.

"Not bad, not bad. In addition, after Ruan Xiaoqi's barracks recruited soldiers, let those soldiers learn Chinese from their comrades. This is also a shortcut to promote Chinese." Wu Dong said.

If you want to truly occupy a place, you don’t just occupy the land there, but more importantly, you replace the civilization there with your own civilization and make your own civilization the mainstream civilization there, so that they can recognize their regime from the bottom of their hearts. .

Therefore, the promotion of Chinese language on Dafu Island is very important. The two leaders of Dafu Island, Gongsun Sheng and Ruan Xiaoqi, must do this well.

"Of course, when those soldiers came to the barracks, how could they not speak Chinese? Could it be that I, Ruan Xiaoqi, should learn their bird language?" After Ruan Xiaoqi finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaoqi, the training in the ocean is completely different from the training in Liangshanbo. I hope you can train me to be a real 'navy' so that I can walk sideways in the sea in Liangshanbo. You don't have the confidence?" Wu said. Dong smiled.

"Yes! Chief, don't worry!" Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.

These days, Ruan Xiaoqi has become more and more fond of the ocean, wishing to stay here for the rest of his life. He naturally welcomes the task of forming a "navy" and vows to build an invincible sea force.

"Xiaoqi, in addition to conscription these days, you have to write a 'Navy Formation Plan' to show me. No matter what you do, you must first have a good plan. If you have a good plan, this matter Even if it is half done." Wu Dong said.

Ruan Xiaoqi agreed, and immediately began to study this matter after leaving Wu Dong's place.

The next day, Ruan Xiaoqi first went to the villagers to recruit soldiers.

When I was in Liangshan, although the "conscription system" was promoted every day, conscription was not an easy task. Many people were unwilling to let their children serve as soldiers, because China has always had a tradition of "good boys don't serve as soldiers". In the Song Dynasty, military households were even lower than civilian households, which further caused the common people's prejudice against being a soldier.But on Dafu Island, conscription is extremely easy.Because they were bullied by pirates, many people wanted to join the army to defend their hometown.

More than 600 people were recruited soon, and now the strength of Dafu Island has reached more than 1200, and the Liangshan Navy was formally formed.

Ruan Xiaoqi handed the "Navy Formation Plan" written by himself to Wu Dong. Wu Dong looked at it carefully, and then the two discussed it in detail.

"The army must be successful in actual combat. There are still many pirates in the Bohai Sea. There are even more pirates in the East China Sea. After the naval training reaches a certain level, we will go to destroy the pirates. First wipe out all the pirates in the Bohai Sea, and then go further place." Wu Dong said.

This plan was done very well, but there was no actual combat situation, so Wu Dong immediately changed it.

"Okay, I'll remember! Chief, I heard that Koryo and Dongying also have some sailors, and we can even use these sailors for actual combat." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"That's right, but our ships are still a little short, and we need to build more sea ships." Wu Dong said.

When we eliminated the pirates on Daebu Island, we obtained more than a dozen large ships and dozens of small ships from them, but a large part of these ships were made into merchant ships for ocean-going trade, and there were not many ships left for the navy. .

"Building ships...we have no experience." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Go and call Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Hua Rong, and let's discuss the matter of building a sea-going ship together," Wu Dong said.

The current order of ships is not enough at all. In the future, the ocean trade will become bigger and bigger, and the navy will also become bigger and bigger. Of course, relying on buying ships will not work, so we must build our own ships.

In the history of that year, the Dutch became sea coachmen. At that time, the Dutch had tens of thousands of sea ships.The population of Great Song is much larger than that of the Netherlands. If Great Song wants to build itself into a maritime power, tens of thousands of ships are the minimum.

Liangshan must build its own shipyard from the moment it touches the sea!

"Dafu Island has a radius of dozens of miles, covered with trees, and a shipyard can be built here," Wu Yong said.

"There are still too few trees here. Besides, this is an island. If the trees are cut down, there will be no way for people to live there." Wu Dong shook his head hastily.

The sea is very stormy, and these trees are used to withstand the wind and waves. If all the trees are cut down, this place will become a dead place.

"I heard that there are many mountains and forests in Goryeo. After we enter Goryeo, we can build shipyards in Goryeo. Moreover, the people of Goryeo are poor, and they can hire a lot of workers with very little money. There are also a lot of workers who can build ships there." Gongsun Sheng said.

"That's a good idea, but we'll have to wait until we go to Korea. Also, now that we have control of Dengzhou, Ruan Xiaowu of Dengzhou Customs can also build a shipyard there and hire skilled shipbuilders from Dengzhou to us. to the shipyard." Wu Dong said.

Everyone discussed for a while, and for a while, everyone worked together to stabilize the environment of Dafu Island, making it completely stable and becoming an important stronghold of Liangshanbo on the Bohai Sea.

At the beginning of May, Wu Dong, Hua Rong, and Wu Yong went to Yongyeon City, Korea.

Yongyeon Fortress in Korea is only about 100 miles away from Daebu Island. We set off in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

Wu Dong and the others walked curiously on the streets of Longyuan City. Although it is also a commercial city, it is much different from Dengzhou.

The buildings here are low, short, dilapidated and shabby, the people here are all poorly dressed, and there are many beggars on the road.

"I thought that the people in the Song Dynasty were already very poor, but I didn't expect that Goryeo was even more poor." Wu Dong said.

"Goryeo's wealth is concentrated in the hands of those nobles, and they usually do business with those nobles. They have money in their hands, and we can make a good fortune from them." Wu Yong laughed.

In the next few days, Wu Dong and others first found a large shop, shipped all the goods to the shop, and waited for noble buyers from North Korea.

The store was handed over to a shopkeeper, and the three of them were looking for a place to build a shipyard.

In the end, no good shipyard location was found, but a few North Korean nobles sold their shipyards.

After Wu Dong went to see it, he thought it was not bad, so he bought the shipyard.This shipyard can build more than a dozen large ships a year, and the output is already considered good.

"We don't need to build our own factories anymore, just buy these ready-made shipyards... buy all the shipyards in Longyuan." Wu Dong said.

This time, they brought a large sum of money, which was enough for them to spend.

So in the next month, everyone was buying shipyards.

At the beginning of June, Wu Dong bid farewell to Goryeo and planned to return to Liangshanbo.
