Chapter 590
"What, you can get land rewards after making military exploits?"

"That's right, almost all the officers and soldiers who fought against Jianlu were assigned to the grain fields! Contributors, wow, that field is really worth more than one!"

"..."

Regardless of whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the people of the original North Korea, the most important thing for them is the land.Not to mention, most of the North Korean people have no land and can only work in other people's fields for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, when they heard that soldiers made military exploits in exchange for a large area of ​​grain fields, their feelings were very different, and it could even be said that they were far more excited than the common people of Ming Dynasty.

If it is said that the Ming people in the pass are still worried about the bitter cold in Liaodong and North Korea, these Korean people who fled to Jeju Island have no such thoughts at all.For them, that's all good news.

At this time, they thought of the entire Liaodong and Korean peninsula, which had been slaughtered by the Jian captives and were almost completely unoccupied. Thinking of so many lands waiting for their masters, they couldn't sit still any longer.

At the beginning, I was still very flexible, and asked the court officials and soldiers how to serve as a soldier, and whether I could serve as a soldier. Later, other Jeju Island people who heard the news all followed suit.After there were too many people, they simply went to the local yamen, that is, Lin Qingye's side to petition, wanting to be a soldier.

Maybe the profession of military household was not a good choice for the common people of Ming Dynasty in the past.

However, after Emperor Chongzhen crossed, not only did he make up for the salary owed, but he also led the army to win battles continuously, and he did not hesitate to reward military achievements.These things were found out by the people of Jeju Island. Compared with their current situation, it is strange not to be envious!Just being a soldier and eating food, as well as the basic conditions of being able to get the military salary, are enough to make these former Korean people who fled to Jeju Island envious.

Seeing so many people requesting to join the Ming army, Lin Qingye was surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he also figured out the key point.

Generally speaking, if someone wants to be a soldier, there is absolutely no reason to refuse, because no one is willing to be a soldier in normal times.However, at this time, Lin Qingye remembered the Pyongyang battle back then. Because of the drag of the North Korean army, the army led by Governor Lu almost turned victory into defeat, so he was a little worried.

However, he couldn't bear the fact that too many people came to the Yamen to ask, so he had no choice but to come to Zheng Zhilong and report the situation to him.

After finishing speaking, Lin Qingye earnestly interceded for them: "My lord, their combat power is far from being comparable to that of the imperial army. However, most of them are fishermen. I think that if they are allowed to serve as soldiers in the Navy If you don’t, it might still be useful. My lord, the hearts of the people are useful, what do you think?”

Zheng Zhilong had heard the movement outside, so he was not surprised when he heard it.

He led the navy to the south, and there was still a lot of pressure.After all, this time the war was fought as far as the tip of the Korean peninsula.Although it is nominally the territory of Ming Dynasty now, and it is still fighting locally, in fact, it is not much different from the expedition to the Wa Kingdom, which is different from his previous naval battles.

In addition, although we had sufficient food and adequate preparations for this trip south, the continuous rain and heavy rain also made many soldiers in the army sick and required a period of rest.

However, Zheng Zhilong was also worried that time waits for no one, and war opportunities wait for no one. If the emperor's instructions cannot be completed, then the navy has an opportunity to make great contributions, and it will be missed.

Therefore, he originally thought of recruiting some fishermen on Jeju Island to work on warships to make up for the shortage of sick soldiers.At this time, Lin Qingye came to his door, which was like meeting a pillow when he was dozing off, which made him very happy.

However, if he expanded his army privately, if he had been in Fujian's lair before, then he would have no fear.But at this time, the Holy Son was in power, and he was in North Korea, so he still had some concerns, so he explained the reason to Lin Qingye.

Seeing Lin Qingye's disappointed expression, Zheng Zhilong changed the subject again: "However, this commander can use the method of recruiting civilians to recruit some of them to be used by the army first, and then the list and reasons will be reported to the emperor. As long as the emperor approves, they can Wish."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, then added with a smile: "Based on my understanding of the emperor, there should be no problem. In the northwest of Daming, all the people are already required to serve as soldiers. Now the people of Jeju Island are also the people of Daming." , It should be no problem. Moreover, the emperor has always been lenient to those who serve the country wholeheartedly. Maybe they will also reward them for their contributions to the people during this time."

When he said that he was rewarded, he naturally meant that he would be rewarded as a soldier, not a civilian.Because if a civilian husband comes to reward, he, as the recruiter, or Lin Qingye, as the local official, can give the reward.

The reason why Zheng Zhilong said this is to increase the enthusiasm of these Jeju Island people to do meritorious service.

Lin Qingye may be worried that the North Korean soldiers are too bad, but Zheng Zhilong is fine.Not to mention the old Chinese saying that a raging soldier is a raging one, and a raging raging nest, just Zheng Zhilong used to traverse such a large area of ​​the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. In his pirate army, there are no people anywhere, and the North Koreans are no exception. Among them there are brave ones.

Lin Qingye was overjoyed when he heard it, he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so easy to talk to.In the past, I have always heard that Da Ming's superiors are not easy to deal with, but since the arrival of the New Dongjiang Army, I basically don't feel this way, including the famous Daming Haishuai.

So, I quickly thanked him, and then hurriedly conveyed the good news.

Upon hearing the good news, the people of Jeju Island burst into cheers.Those who are suitable to serve as soldiers at home will immediately go to the gate of the barracks to line up, waiting for the court officers and soldiers to choose; those whose families are not suitable to serve as soldiers can only shake their heads and sigh in envy.

"Look, why didn't you carry a handle? This is a big loss!"

"Why weren't you born a few years earlier, you're under your age, it's a big loss!"

"..."

When Zheng Zhilong saw the grand occasion outside the barracks, he was also a little emotional.This situation is really rare.It seems that it is Da Ming who wins the hearts of the people, the emperor is wise!

He didn't delay either, and immediately sent people to start selecting suitable soldiers for the ship.

The rain has stopped for several days, and the wind and waves on the sea have become much smaller. There may be movement from the Japanese army.

Sometimes, good things either don't come, or come one after another.

He was selecting manpower here, and when he was making preparations for the expedition, Lin Qingye came to him again, and said excitedly: "My lord, some fishermen came back to the island and said that they saw many Japanese troops landing in Busan. Their The docking point of the navy is in Busan."

The Japanese army would use Busan as their landing point. On this point, Emperor Chongzhen reminded Zheng Zhilong when they set off beforehand, saying that the Japanese army landed in Busan for the first time, and it is likely that they will also land in Busan later. The edge is the base.However, no matter what, after such a long time, the military situation still needs to be verified.But now there is clear news from Jeju Island, which naturally supports the guess, which is the best thing.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being overjoyed, which made it more purposeful.From this, he thought of other things, and asked Lin Qingye about the terrain and sea conditions around Busan, as well as the nearby Geoje Island and Tsushima Island on the other side.

After hearing this, Lin Qingye immediately told everything he knew.Feeling that it was not enough, he went back and began to collect relevant news from the people.In the end, he excitedly ran over to report to Marshal Zheng.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, which made him feel that he was almost at war with his hometown of Fujian and Guangdong.Soon, he had a more detailed understanding of the Korean Strait, including the sharp corner of the Korean Peninsula, the situation of Tsushima Island, and the hydrological conditions of the Korean Strait, and he had a lot more grasp of the war.

Therefore, as soon as the situation became clear, he immediately ordered the army to set off.

When the navy was dispatched, all the people of Jeju Island ran out to see them off, shouting "Daming Wansheng", resounding over the sky of Jeju Island.The grand occasion of the army's expedition made the sailors feel more proud of their identities.

Lin Qingye led his officials and saw Zheng Zhilong off.In his eyes, there is a deep sense of envy for Zheng Zhilong's ability to make military exploits.When parting, he said to Zheng Zhilong: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely do a good job in Jeju Island, so that the army will have no worries. In addition, the island closure order will continue until the news of the army's victory comes back!"

The so-called closure of the island was implemented on the day Zheng Zhilong arrived in Jeju Island.All the people of Jeju Island are allowed to enter and not to leave, unless there is a military order.

Although this situation caused some inconvenience to the people of Jeju Island, no one complained.They all look forward to the victory of the imperial court and the army, so that they can return to land as soon as possible.

"You handle the matter, I don't worry!" Zheng Zhilong had been very happy to cooperate these days. After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong patted Lin Qingye on the shoulder and said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw that the coast could be described as a sea of ​​people. They were all shouting, trying to express their wishes in Daming official language.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Beat the Japanese people to death!"

"..."

Hearing all this, and then turning his head to look at the morale of his soldiers, Zheng Zhilong couldn't hide the smile on his face.He stopped talking, turned around and boarded the flagship, and gave the order to set off.

So, in the farewell of the people of Jeju Island, the mighty Daming Navy left Jeju Island and started their journey.

…………

As reported by the people of Jeju Island, the Japanese navy did take action. This was Tokugawa Iemitsu's response after receiving the urgent letter from Matsudaira Nobuzuna.

 I thought I could have a good rest last night, but I didn't expect the old woman downstairs to change the house into a bakery, and she was still making bread at 11:30, so she couldn't sleep at all, and had another fight.I have called the police twice before to no avail.For this kind of rich old woman, there is really no way to cure her.Good neighbors are really important. If you write a book later, you will move if you are successful!I can see that what this chapter says is genuine reading, thank you for your support, and hope to realize your wish as soon as possible!
