The Navy Marine Corps is a unit used by the navy to land on combat, mainly using a mixed combat method of cavalry and infantry. When the terrain is flat and the war horses are in good condition, the landing troops will land on the battlefield in the posture of cavalry. When the terrain is rugged and the state of war horses is in the condition of infringement, they will land on the posture of infantry.

The Ming Dynasty had a horse-raising base in Hailar Province, and there was no shortage of horses. Moreover, through trade with the Jin and Song countries, horses could be exchanged for a lot of money. In the recent transactions of buying grain from the Song countries, war horses were the big heads.

However, the navy Marine Corps was not organized, with only 3,000 regular soldiers. When landing in Dengzhou, many auxiliary troops were temporarily recruited. When the war ended, almost all of them were abolished. Now that we want to conquer Japan, there must be fewer Marine Corps of 3,000. Ulutus decided to increase its troops to 10,000, and the number of warships in the navy would have to double again.

Previously, through means such as purchasing ships, forcing enlistment, and robbery, 121 warships were obtained from Goryeo/Song Kingdom and other places. However, most of them were converted from merchant ships, and there were almost no real warships. Now that the war is over, the ones that should be eliminated should be eliminated and the ones that should be returned should be returned. The Navy's existing warships have only 68.

In addition, 30 ships were stationed in Dalian Port to maintain the water force between the Bohai Bay and Shandong provinces. 11 ships were stationed in Dengzhou Port, mainly to maintain the safety of waterways between offshore islands and Song State. The remaining twenty-seven ships were stationed on Jeju Island, and their purpose was naturally not only to maintain the water trade between Japan and Goryeo/Song State/Jin State.

If you want to conquer Japan, which faces the sea, the number of warships in Jeju will definitely increase.

But before the conquest, the obstacle of Goryeo had to be cleared.

Just like the three-step strategy formulated by Japan in later generations to conquer China, the first step was to take North Korea. Similarly, if you want to conquer Japan, the Ming Dynasty must also take Goryeo.

Originally, I didn't want to swallow Goryeo in one rush, but due to the disaster in Shandong Province, I had to cut off my flesh from Goryeo. To conquer Japan, I had to ensure Goryeo's wholehearted cooperation. Especially in terms of money and grain, Goryeo had to donate more.

So soon, in Nanjing, Goryeo, the power faction headed by Park Hyo-sung and Choi Yu-gong received an order from the Ming Dynasty to seek tribute in advance.

After the old year of Kaijing was burned to white land by a fire, the ministers of Goryeo simply abandoned Kaijing and changed it to Nanjing in the lower reaches of the Han River as their capital. In later generations, Nanjing in Goryeo was also called Seoul.

Originally, during the period of Goryeo Wenzong/Suzong, there was a mention of the capital migration. It was just because of the obstruction of the conservatives in Kaijing and the cost of moving the capital, which was a lot of money. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity that Kaijing was burned to white land, no one obstructed the capital migration anymore.

After all, almost all the people and nobles who opened the capital were caught in one go. If they were rebuilt, they would have consumed a lot of money and food. Based on the current empty treasury in the Goryeo Treasury, no one agreed to rebuild.

In addition, in terms of geographical advantages, Nanjing is farther from the Ming Kingdom than Kaijing. Once a war occurs, it will give Nanjing ministers more time to react. Not to mention organizing troops to resist the Ming army, it will at least allow the officials and nobles in the city to escape to the countryside before the Ming army arrives.

No one wants to experience the experience of being caught in Mingguo for trial like last time.

At present, in Nanjing, Goryeo was divided into two factions regarding the Ming Dynasty's orders.

One faction believed that the requirements of the Ming Dynasty should be met as much as possible to avoid being furious in the country and launching troops in Goryeo again. The representative of this faction was Park Hyo-sung. He knew how his official position came from. If he could not win the favor of the Ming Dynasty government, his status would be lost.

In Goryeo, there are many people who are jealous of themselves. In the past few rebellions, the Ming Dynasty suppressed the rebellions with only 3,000 troops. So even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers under him now, he dare not disobey the Ming Dynasty's official government.

The other faction was headed by Cui Yugong! They believed that Goryeo was in a difficult situation and tribute was paid in advance, so they really couldn't afford so much money and food. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's demands were indeed very attractive, with three million dans! This was the tax that Goryeo had not met in its heyday.

What's more, the old year suffered such a serious looting, and the people in the territory were also seriously lost. Local officials from the five Daozhou reported that the situation of fleeing people in the territory was getting worse and worse. It was completely impossible to pay 3 million dan of money and grain.

Of course, these taxpayers do not include those landlords and bureaucrats who have a large amount of land. The taxes that the government can receive can only be snatched from the common people who have little land and are not threatening.

To this end, Cui Yugong believed that on the one hand, he should present his feelings to the Ming government to explain the difficulties of Goryeo. At the same time, he took out 100,000 stones of money and grain, which reflects Goryeo's intentions. This is also the money and grain raised to conquer Wa Country. Although there is still a big gap between the requirements of Ming Country, he can take out a little bit.

It is not necessary to use the money and food from the Japanese to deal with emergency response.

On the other hand, we have to request assistance from the Mongolian Khanate/Song Kingdom and other countries.

The dominant power of Ming Kingdom really makes Goryeo so angry! If there is foreign aid, it may be able to offset Ming Kingdom's arrogance.

And combined with what the Ming Dynasty did today, it was completely intended to destroy Goryeo! Just look at the schools that were opened, all of which were taught in Chinese, and the local official language of Goryeo would not be on the table. In time, everyone in Goryeo spoke Chinese and practiced Han rituals, so Goryeo would also destroy its country if it didn't want to destroy it.

Cui Yugong and the others are considered to be the Zhiming faction!

In fact, the current Goryeo rulers are all the Zhiming factions. After all, they have been prisoners and went to Ming Kingdom, so they naturally have to understand what their masters are like. Now, the territory of Ming Kingdom is full of the Chinese style.

Although it still maintains the distinctive characteristics of Mongolia in terms of military preparations, the etiquette and education of the Chinese people are becoming increasingly popular.

Just as the two factions were arguing, the Ming garrison stationed in Nanjing suddenly retreated north.

"How could this be so?" Li Kui, Minister of Justice, spoke out: "There was no news before, so why did you retreat just by saying that you could withdraw?" The Ming Dynasty's garrison was a knife hanging over the heads of the Goryeo court officials. Now the knife suddenly disappeared. Everyone was surprised and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the general garrison of the Ming Dynasty sent someone to spread the message that the withdrawal of troops was an adjustment of the garrison within the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone would not be suspicious. After the garrison was withdrawn, I hope that all the officials would maintain the stable and peaceful situation in Goryeo.
