The news of the occupation of Jingyi and the report of Nangong Wudi were sent to Feng Zongze who was sitting at the Seongsan beachhead. Although the full occupation of Jeju Island would inevitably carry the burden of supplying food for 40,000 to 50,000 local people, Feng Zongze believed that it was still worth it.
.
Because most of the refugees and official slaves were concentrated, Jeju Island's population distribution was highly intensive, with 60 to 70 percent of the population distributed in three cities and nine towns along the coast. It was easy to achieve occupation-control-
The purpose of use. There are a large number of official buildings available in the three cities and nine towns. Regardless of its appearance and economic level, Jingyi is a large rural area with walls, but there are also many official buildings in the city: prison camps,
School grounds, barracks, county schools, official warehouses... although the standards are not high, they are all vacant houses that can be used. This can save a lot of raw materials and labor in building houses.
The refugees from Shandong were not qualified for heavy physical work at first, and they still had to overcome the problem of acclimatization. Feng Zongze believed that at least in the initial stage of the engine, a large amount of local labor and facilities should be used.
From this point of view, feeding these tens of thousands of people is not a losing business. At present, the Senate is short of population, and Koreans can also be fully utilized.
Since the Senate is ready to assimilate and use even the people of Beiqi, "Little China" like North Korea is a more suitable target. Furthermore, if there is a situation where the people of Jeju are overpopulated and there is no food supply, they can also be used
The empty tonnage of the returning fleet transporting refugees and supplies transports some people to Kaohsiung to participate in development - their situation is always much better than the refugees in Shandong.
At the same time, it also changed the population structure of the island - once and for all. When he thought about this, he couldn't help but smile smugly.
Feng Zongze stared at the map in the tent and marked on the glass plate with colored pencils. At present, the military cleanup work is going very smoothly. The task force has occupied Jingyi County and Shuizhi near Chengshan, and the two towns of Xigui. Prisoners
Hundreds of soldiers from the Lee Dynasty were killed. Except for Daejeong, which was temporarily unoccupied, the southern front of Jeju Island had basically eliminated the forces of the Lee Dynasty.
Judging from the summary of reports from various detachments, the Li Dynasty's military power on the island was very weak. Not only was it unable to resist the invasion, it was unable to even attack. When attacking Shuizhi and returning to the two towns in the west.
There was a conflict that could be called a battle. Basically, the troops shot down a few soldiers and then the whole army dispersed.
Judging from the conditions of the two towns of cleaning up the water branch and returning to the west, it can be seen that the "nine towns" established by the Li Dynasty on the island - the garrison - are in poor armed condition and there are many shortages of soldiers. According to the confessions of captured soldiers of the Li Dynasty.
The gap between the actual troops and the actual troops at the garrison was more than half.
Each "town" had hundreds of official slaves and maidservants, who were used to cultivate the official land allocated to the settlements by the Li government. The original intention was to use this to raise soldiers. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's guard system had also been ruined. The output of the land
Basically, it fell into the pockets of local town generals and local officials.
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 of the land, the better. So they do not care about the shortage of supplementary soldiers.
This added weight to Feng Zongze's determination to capture Jeju as soon as possible.
Having said that, the troops he has at hand are stretched thin. The total landing population is only more than a thousand people, and it would be too spread out to guard in three places: Of course, based on the intelligence provided by the Great Library, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the General Staff, it is estimated that
, neither the Li Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty would launch an attack on the island. Therefore, it can be said that there is basically no external threat, but maintaining the internal security of the island still requires considerable military strength.
The government and the army of the Li Dynasty were always ineffective every time foreign invaders invaded. On the contrary, the "rebel army" mobilized by the middle and lower class scholar-bureaucrats and the common people showed stronger combat power. Therefore, the front committee of the Jeju Island task force
At the meeting, the three elders agreed that military operations on Jeju Island should take "public security" as the first goal.
Quickly seize the government's ruling center on the island and control the officials, scholar-bureaucrats and landlords on the island - if possible, it should be able to nip the future core of resistance in the bud.
The second step was to quickly form the local "puppet army" - no, this is not a good name. Feng Zongze thought that he had belittled himself in this way, but he actually recognized the legitimacy of the Li Dynasty's local rule.
He should think of a more appropriate name. He thought about it and thought it would be better to call it "Security Army". Originally, the Security Army was an irregular army composed of mercenaries. Since Japanese can be hired as security forces, hiring Koreans is also the same.
thing.
The servant army composed of local people played an important role in strengthening their rule. After the Manchus entered the customs, they regarded the formation of green battalions as the first task after occupying a land. "Occupy a land and form a battalion." If
Without the continuous supply of green battalions to serve as occupying troops and cannon fodder, the Eight Banners would not have been able to complete the conquest of all of China. Even in the 20th century when nationalist consciousness was on the rise, various puppet armies formed by the Japanese army were still strangulating base areas and obstructing guerrilla operations.
It played a certain role.
As the top chief executive sent by the Senate to Jeju Island, Feng Zongze received full authorization from the Senate and the Executive Committee: he has the authority to form a "local security force" that "does not use firearms."
In addition to the "security army", there must also be a "leading party." Feng Zongze knows that this is not difficult - in any society there will be a large number of frustrated people from all walks of life. They hold grudges against society and the government for various reasons. As long as they are given
Give them opportunities and give them the possibility of changing dynasties. This group of people will jump out on their own.
Feng Zongze had no doubt: as soon as they took over Jeju City and controlled the entire island, such people would appear immediately.
Since Jeju Island is an island where official slaves and exiles are concentrated, there must be more dissatisfied people than the entire eight provinces of North Korea combined. It should be very easy to find "collaborators". Not to mention the oppressed potential "proletariat"
"The Party that leads the way".
Feng Zongze and other elders also have another hope: to make use of the Chinese immigrants on the island: including Han and Mongolians. According to the background information provided by the Great Library: Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, Tamna Island - also known as Jeju
The island exiled prisoners. Although Tamna had 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 herd slaves to the island to herd horses - Jeju
The fact that the island became an important horse breeding place was actually caused by the Mongols, and the horse breeds on the island also came from Mongolian horses imported by the Mongols.
The power of the Mongols on Jeju Island was so great that when the Yuan Dynasty was at the end of its rope, it once considered moving the court to Jeju Island, and even prepared to build a palace on the island. After the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, the Li Dynasty spent a lot of effort to build a palace on the island.
He subdued the Mongolian herders on the island and completely annexed Jeju Island.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not occupy Jeju Island, it exiled many Mongolian nobles from the Yuan Dynasty and Han bureaucrats loyal to the Yuan Dynasty to Jeju. The King Liang of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan and many of his staff were exiled here by Zhu Yuanzhang. The Yuan Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula in the old time and space,
Many people with surnames such as Liang, An, and Jiang are their descendants.
These people are not Koreans. Although they have lived on Jeju Island for hundreds of years, they should still be different from the ordinary people on the island. If there is a difference, you can take advantage of it.
Feng Zongze was thinking about his work after occupying Jeju, when suddenly his secretary came in from outside.
"Report to the chief."
"What's up?"
"One of the haenyeo is seriously ill." The secretary hesitated and said, "Please tell me to pay attention to the condition of the haenyeo and report any situation whenever possible..."
The fishing villages near Seongsan are already under their direct control, and the fishermen who fled have not returned yet, so the haenyeo they captured are still in the camp.
"I understand. You did the right thing." Feng Zongze nodded, "Send a health worker to help them take a look."
Saving lives and healing the wounded is the easiest way to impress people. Because Jeju Island will be used as a refugee camp, the first fleet transported a large amount of medicines and disinfectants. The number of health workers is also sufficient. It is not a problem to give some medical favors to the locals.
He suddenly stopped his secretary who was about to exit:
"Wait a minute, I'll show it to her myself."
"Chief--" the secretary was surprised. She knew that her master knew medical skills, but she didn't expect that the senator would treat a prisoner of humble origins.
Feng Zongze stood up and made up his mind: Since he wanted to win people's hearts, he might as well do it more thoroughly. Start with the few prisoners around him.
Although the haenyeo have a humble status, let alone any influence, once the news of their personal diagnosis and treatment spreads, it will have a very good effect. In order to be a ruler, in addition to strong force, they must also promote "benevolence and justice".
is an effective means.
Haenyeo have been lurking in the deep sea for many years, holding their breath while working underwater. The high-intensity water pressure and lack of oxygen make them prone to chronic headaches, back of the ears, tinnitus, gastrointestinal diseases, neuralgia, arthritis, etc. In addition, due to strong winds
There is a lot of moisture, and coughing and wheezing are also common.
The haenyeo suffer from abscesses. This is the most common disease among people on Jeju Island. Especially among haenyeo, there are so many people suffering from this disease, and it seems to have become an occupational disease.
Every shrine in Jeju Island enshrines the Goddess of the Sea and the God of the Dragon King. This is a god who specializes in protecting people from skin diseases. In the temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea, there is a kind of sacrificial rice with rice on it.
The custom of a cooked egg. This is people's beautiful wish, hoping that the skin will be as white and smooth as an egg after the shell is peeled off.
The Haenyeo who was seriously ill was Pan. Feng Zongze did not use a thermometer and just looked at her red face and chapped lips and knew that she had a fever.
This showed that the inflammation was quite serious. He put on gloves and pressed it with his fingers: this was a typical abscess. It must be cured by surgical incision and drainage.
