Lin Fu and others landed on Jeju Island from Changjiao, Waigang. Ge Changgen and Danluo King Li Jian came to see him.
Ge Changgen's right arm was wounded, but it was no serious problem, but Danluo King Li Jian was in a miserable state. When they met at the beginning of the year, Li Jian had a beautiful beard under his chin, and he still had a bit of a king's bearing, but he was burned by the fire in the war.
By the time he was done, there were still burns on his face.
The Goryeo army that invaded Jeju this time was led by Zhen Feng, the governor of Haiyang County of the Goryeo Kingdom, and landed at Xianlupo on the north coast of Jeju Island five days ago.
Zhen Feng originally forced a garrison on Jeju, so Li Jian sent his son Li Gong to lead his troops to garrison at Xianlupo and negotiate with Zhen Feng. Zhen Feng pretended to discuss matters with Li Gong in front of the formation, and used warships to carry troops.
With the cover of Luo Yanling on the north bank, they landed from behind the formation and took a detour to attack Li Gong.
Danluo Kingdom had worked hard to save more than a thousand elites for a year, but 60% of them were lost in this battle; Li Jian's son Li Gong was strangled by Zhen Feng. After the victory at Xianlupu, Zhen Feng led his troops to attack Xiguipu City, the capital of Danluo Kingdom.
Li Jian was defeated and led his remaining soldiers to flee from the west coast to Jeju Fortress for rescue.
There were more than 5,000 water infantry troops from Haiyang County of Goryeo who landed on Jeju Island.
Li Jian only led less than 400 remnant soldiers to surrender. In addition to the 400 soldiers at Jeju Fortress, Jian Yong was urgently selected from the strong men who moved from the interior. Ge Changgen could only use more than a thousand troops to defend Jeju Fortress.
At that time, the Korean navy had blocked the port, and Ge Changgen was forced to abandon the ship and withdraw all his troops to the shore to wait for reinforcements from Chongzhou.
Fortunately, Lin Fu led the reinforcements quickly, and Jeju Fortress was besieged for less than two days. In addition to the total loss of warships, the casualties among the soldiers were not heavy.
"Haeyang County's naval force only has more than 2,000 men. Most of them have been defeated by our division before noon. Please send the water camp warships quickly around to Seogwipo to attack the remnants of the navy and cut off Zhen Feng's return..."
Ge Changgen suggested.
"Okay," Lin Fu originally planned to lead his troops to Jeju to see the opportunity, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to capture and kill the governor of Haiyang County of Goryeo just after arriving. Moreover, the Danluo Kingdom had completely broken off with Goryeo, and Lin Fu no longer needed to worry about the Danluo people.
Without hesitation, he immediately ordered Ge Changgen, "I will transfer a battalion of naval forces to you. You can select more people from Jeju Fortress who are familiar with the water conditions on the west coast and temporarily join them as guides on each ship to go to Seogwipo to find and destroy the Yangshui River."
The remnants of the army..."
Ge Changgen immediately took out the sentry officers and scouts who were familiar with the geography and hydrology near Danluo Island from Jeju Fortress and temporarily organized them into each ship. In the afternoon, regardless of the fact that his right arm was still injured, he led a battalion of warships and rushed to the north shore of Danluo Island.
and left for Seogwipo.
In the afternoon, a waterway was cleared in the port outside the Jeju Fortress, and nearly 5,000 soldiers from the Infantry Division Guards Battalion and the Horse Army Division Cavalry Battalion landed one after another and garrisoned the Jeju Fortress.
At the beginning of the year, we made an agreement with the Danluo people to allocate a small piece of land from the west coast and the southwest foot of Sunrise Mountain to build a fort and open a port. After nearly a year of continuous investment in construction, this area of four to five hundred acres is sandwiched between two hills.
On this land, in addition to a small city with a circumference of two hundred feet in the middle, a solid outpost with a circumference of more than ten feet was built on the hills on both sides.
One city and two forts shielded Jeju Port from the inside.
A defensive stone wall was also built outside Jeju Port.
In the early morning, Zhen Feng led the Haiyang infantry to attack the defensive stone wall.
The cost of each load of raw silk produced in Hailing Prefecture is no more than twenty taels of silver. However, merchants from Kyushu and Honshu come to Jeju to purchase raw silk, and each load of raw silk is worth four hundred taels of silver.
The silk produced in Chongzhou is limited, and the raw silk and silk produced in Pingjiang Prefecture are almost monopolized by a few companies headed by the Chen family.
Even so, in the past year, Chongzhou also transported three hundred tons of raw silk to Jeju for sale. Excluding the cost and freight, the profit from three hundred tons of raw silk exceeded one hundred thousand taels. The profit was so high that ordinary people can hardly imagine it.
Profiting from sea trade, Jeju Castle was built and became the second walled fortress on Damra Island besides Seogwipo, the royal capital of the Danra people.
With the rapid rise of Jeju City, the Danluo people were not unwary, but Zhenfeng, the governor of Haiyang County of the Koryo people, went on a killing spree against the Danluo people, which also made Danluo King Li Jian not only borrow troops from the Huaidong Army Division to drive the Koryo people out.
What other options are there besides Danluo Island?
It was almost night before the inner harbor of Jeju was completely cleared, allowing the Sueying warships to berth in.
Previously, except for the two sentry water camps led by Ge Changgen and more than 600 soldiers and auxiliary troops, there were no other garrison troops in Jeju.
When Lin Fu returned to Chongzhou from Jinhai in March, Sun, Zhou and other tribesmen who had moved south from Haishang and Hejian Prefecture followed Lin Fu southward, and some of the tribesmen chose to settle in Jeju.
There were more than 200 households in the first batch, and more were added later. Now there are more than 300 households in Jeju City, which can be regarded as the earliest residents of Jeju City.
Jeju residents set up a Lijia, and the Lijia was none other than Zhou Guitang, a distant brother of the Zhou Guangnan brothers. He was forty-two years old. He was a man of rough knowledge of literature, shrewd and capable. In his early years, he also went to sea to sell goods and accumulated a lot of wealth. But he was not lucky.
Jia, he capsized two ships one after another and escaped with his life, but he had no money left and owed a lot of debt. He later became a shopkeeper of his own clan and ran away from the ship. He never had a chance to turn over.
When passing through Jeju, Zhou Guitang saw that there were opportunities in Jeju and took the initiative to stay in Jeju. Lin Fu appointed him as Li Zheng.
The construction time of Jeju City is still short, and everything is streamlined and fast. Residential houses are also built outside the city and between the port. The main city is only more than 200 feet long, with a circumference of about 500 steps. It is placed inland and is only the city center.
Village construction system.
The three-story brick building located in the north and south is the core building of the main city. In front of the building is a school yard covering an area of ten acres, and on both sides are barracks, stables, granaries, armories and other ancillary buildings. The main city is small and only
It can accommodate nearly a thousand soldiers from the cavalry camp and Lin Fu's accompanying guards.
After Lin Fu landed at Jeju Port, he quickly adjusted Jeju's deployment.
The Jeju garrison was all organized into the Second Water Battalion. Although the warships were burned, many warships of the Goryeo Navy were also captured. They were familiar with the waters around Jeju and were responsible for the defense of the sea areas outside Jeju Port and selected from them.
Scout, monitor the movements of Haiyang Army in the north.
In addition to the sentry fort and defensive stone camp on the southwest side, which were guarded by one battalion of armored soldiers from the guard camp, the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the guard camp were camped along the open space between the headland and the main city;
It was used by Li Jian, King of Danluo.
The total population of Danluo Island and Dingkou is only over 30,000, but Li Jian is still the monarch of the country. Zhenfeng, the governor of Haiyang, returned to Seogwipo, and Li Jianeng resumed jurisdiction over most of Danluo Island.
Jeju Island is located at the east entrance of the strait between Goryeo and Kyushu Island. The surrounding sea currents form a countercurrent direction of the west side going north, the south side going east, and the north side going west. Ge Janggen led the water camp to attack Seogwipo and entered Jeju.
The strait between the island and Haiyang County is traveling against the current, so the speed cannot be faster. If there is an emergency, the land scouts will send back the information first.
Lin Fu entered the main city of Jeju and first summoned Li Zhengzhou Guitang to inquire in detail about the situation in Jeju, Goryeo, Kyushu, and Honshu.
After the Korean Peninsula was unified by the Seo Dynasty on the left side of the three Koreas two hundred years ago, the territory was once pushed to the Cheongcheon River. When it was at its strongest, the Fusang Dynasty in the south was engaged in a confrontation between the North and the South. There was no threat, and the Koreans once defeated the Donghu people all over the land.
Looking for teeth. To the north of the Qingchuan River, cities such as Dechuan, Changqing, and Anshuo were built, and military divisions were set up along the Qingchuan River. The number of troops stationed at one time was as high as 150,000.
After the Yuan clan seized power in the Central Plains and established its capital in Yanjing, they regarded the two Liaos as vassal borders and engaged in two large-scale battles with the Koreans who were exploring Liaodong. As far as the battles were concerned, there were victories and defeats for each other, but the national strength of Korea
However, he was crippled in these two battles, retreated to the Qingchuan River, and surrendered.
In the past thirty years, the Donghu people have risen and gained Liaodong. In order to solve the threat from the rear flank and avenge the grudges of the past, they quickly gathered forces after the Battle of Chentangyi and invaded Goryeo from the southeast of Liaoning.
The Donghu people crossed the Chongchon River and captured Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.
Goryeo surrendered to the Donghu people. In addition to paying tribute and accepting pledges, it also ceded all the cities north of the Qingchuan River to the Donghu people. It also abolished all the troops stationed between the Qingchuan River and the Datong River and moved them back to the south...
The system of Goryeo was similar to that of Dai Viet, with two capitals. After Pyongyang, the western capital, was captured, the remaining capital, Hanyangfu, was located in the middle of the Goryeo Peninsula, with nine counties and 121 counties. Haiyang County was one of the nine counties of Goryeo.
It is located at the southwest end of the Koryo Peninsula, facing Danluo across the sea.
Although the Danluo Kingdom was small, it and Goryeo had always been a vassal state of the Dai Viet Dynasty. Koryo wanted to annex Danluo, but had no chance.
After the Yue Dynasty lost Liaodong, it lost substantial control over the Koryo people, and the Koryo people became greedy for Danluo. Koryo once sent envoys to Yanjing to ask for an order to take Danluo on their behalf. At that time, the Yue Dynasty needed Koryo to come.
In order to contain the Donghu people in Liaodong, and the Danluo Kingdom was too inconspicuous, they agreed to Goryeo's request and made Danluo a vassal state of Goryeo.
After being defeated by the Donghu people and surrendering to the Donghu people, in the past two or three years, if Goryeo wanted to regain balance, it had to completely annex Danluo.
The Huaidong Military Division of the Dai Viet Dynasty built forts and ports in Jeju, which was just to give the Koreans an excuse.
Although Kyushu to the east of Danra Island is more than ten times larger than Danra, it belongs to the four feudal lords of Chikushi, Ohsumi, Hyuga, and Hizen. The area of Honshu Island to the east is larger, equivalent to the entire Koryo Peninsula.
, but there are more vassal forces confronting each other within the territory.
There are also many pirate forces on the many islands or fringe areas between Kyushu, Honshu, Jeju and the Koryo Peninsula. These pirate forces are not willing to be subdued by the She family. The Donghai pirate forces who crossed the sea to the east also have the Fuso vassal state.
The pirate forces secretly support the Koreans and plunder enemy territory, and there are also relatively simple pirate forces composed of bankrupt and wandering warriors...
Although the She family's navigation skills are not as good as those of Chongzhou, it only takes four to six days at the fastest to cross the sea from Changguo. Once the news spread that the Huaidong Army had built a fort and a port on the west coast of Danluo, She family
It is impossible for the family not to intervene. Or rather, they have already intervened. It’s just that the situation here is quite complicated and the Huaidong Army Division has not yet been able to arouse alarm.
