Qiming 1158

Chapter 1640 Suppressing the Remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty
Hu Wei implemented the same policy in Goryeo as in the Ming Dynasty.

He united the organization of the Renaissance Society and the army to eliminate the landlord class and the literati class of Goryeo, uproot them, and completely destroyed the original ruling class of Goryeo.

After their demise, Ming forces filled in, and a large number of collective farms and handicraft workshops replaced the grassroots ruling units, filling this vacancy, making the entire system of Goryeo completely aligned with the system of the Ming state.

Collective farms and handicraft workshops can not only provide food and ordnance, but also because of the improvement of the grass-roots organizational structure, when conducting war mobilization, they will also have the general advantages of the Ming state, which can quickly realize war mobilization and provide reliable transportation for the army's logistics.

Not only that, after five years of hard work, Hu Wei accumulated a lot of grain and military supplies for the army's war.

According to his own words, the food and ordnance house he has saved can probably provide the army for almost a year and three months.

This is not simply a large army stationed in place for a year and three months.

Instead, on the basis of the 15 troops dispatched to fight, plus the mobilization of about 20 to [-] peasants, and about [-] horses, donkeys, mules and other livestock, including all logistics personnel and livestock.

The army was dispatched to fight, and the logistics personnel were transported hard to arrive at the Japanese archipelago from the Korean port. Under such circumstances, with the huge war consumption and logistics consumption, it was enough for this series of personnel for a year and three months.

During the war, it is naturally necessary to retain some personnel to continue to engage in agricultural production.

Under the war system, if the war lasts for more than one year, then the food harvested in the next year and the overtime production of ordnance in major factories, the accumulated income in one year can provide the army with food supplies for about three months.

That is to say, if the war lasts for more than a year, the Koryo Province can provide a year and a half of material support for all the personnel needed for the war independently in a single province area, even without the help of the Liaodong Province.

After Su Yonglin learned about it, he immediately dispatched a team of planners to cross the sea to verify. Two months later, in early March [-], the team of planners came back and said that the quantity of supplies was wrong.

Hu Wei was conservative.

At least two months of materials were kept. In fact, the amount of materials saved by Koryo was enough for the army to use it for one year and five months of expedition to Japan.

When I asked him why, he said that the amount of supplies for the two months must be vacated, because everyone needs to take into account the sea storms that the army may encounter when crossing the sea to expedition the Japanese archipelago.

In the past five years, he has continuously sent people to investigate the route of the expedition from Korea to the Japanese archipelago, and inquired about the hydrological conditions of the business travelers who are familiar with this route.

Sea storms do great damage to ships. Once encountered a sea storm, the materials of the entire fleet may be overturned, thus lost and cannot be used for war.

Therefore, the amount of materials in these two months is counted in the reserve loss, leaving room for the overall loss and allowing the army to arrange combat tasks more rationally.

Good guy, he actually achieved this, Su Yonglin couldn't help but applaud him.

And now that his preparations have reached this point, if he starts this battle plan at an inopportune time, he will be sorry for his struggle with the entire Goryeo.

After the victory of this war, Su Yonglin planned to officially promote the transformation of the kingdom of Goryeo into a province of Goryeo. Although Goryeo was in fact a complete province, and even education was completely sinicized and revolutionized, there should still be some. sense of ceremony.

So Su Yonglin convened an enlarged meeting of the entire military department to formally discuss the battle plan against Japan.

The plan to fight against Japan was decided a long time ago, and Su Yonglin reiterated the necessity of fighting against Japan at the meeting.

In addition to obtaining a large amount of precious metals and opening up the northern ocean route, one of the very important goals is to clear the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty.

According to the report of the Skynet Army spies, there are a large number of former Southern Song officials under the command of the actual supreme ruler of Japan, Ping Qingsheng, who are working for him, serving as Japanese officials, and effectively improving the administrative level of Japan.

Moreover, they have also invested extensively in Japan's aristocratic schools, providing elite educational resources for the upper classes of Japan, and imparting the Confucian ideological system that had been deconstructed in the Ming Dynasty to the children of the Japanese ruling class.

Even some families took away some technicians when they came to Japan, and brought some high-precision technologies such as porcelain making technology mastered in the Southern Song Dynasty to Japan, which was valued by Ping Qingsheng.

It is said that Ping Qingsheng is conspiring to establish a porcelain factory, and compete with the Ming Dynasty for the profits of this industry.

These things made Su Yonglin very unhappy, and it also strengthened his determination to completely destroy Japan.

Since the first war of the Ming and Song Dynasties before democratization, a considerable number of the wealthy and powerful in the Southern Song Dynasty have been dissatisfied with the future of the Southern Song Dynasty because of the pull of the Song army and the cowardice and incompetence of the Song court.

They believed that the revolutionary nature of Ming and what they were going to do was absolutely fatal to them, so they could not mix with Ming, no matter what they said, and absolutely could not trust any promise of Ming.

These guys have clear heads. Before the Ming army went south to Lin'an for the first time, they fled in groups. According to incomplete statistics, at that time, the first batch ran away more than 600 powerful people in Lin'an city. The angry Zhao Shen Be furious.

This group of people first went to Goryeo, the Wang family at that time, but soon realized that it was not safe at all, because the Ming Kingdom and Goryeo had basically become the relationship between the suzerain state and the vassal state.

How can there be any security guarantee?

So they decided to follow the advice of some people in Korea who also harbored malice and fear of the Ming regime, and chose to cross the sea and run to Japan to survive.

The ruler of Japan at the time, Kiyomori Hirai, was initially skeptical about the arrival of a large number of people from the Southern Song Dynasty, because he also learned that very important events were taking place on the Chinese mainland through the relationship between Japan and the Southern Song Dynasty through merchants.

The Ming Kingdom, a strong northern country, was established instead of the Jin Kingdom, which put a strong pressure on what they thought was the orthodox dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Ping Qingsheng was preparing to promote commercial trade with the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and even expanded a port in the Seto Inland Sea that could accommodate Southern Song ships. Hearing this news, he was quite worried.

The subsequent arrival of a wave of immigrants from the Southern Song Dynasty and from Goryeo gave him mixed feelings.

The good news is that these immigrants from the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo were local elites. They not only brought a lot of property with them to Japan to settle down and buy properties, but also stimulated domestic demand in Japan, provided jobs for many people, promoted employment, and knowledge.

Among them, there are a large number of cultural people, not only ordinary scholars, but also many officials who were born in jinshi. These officials have a wealth of cultural knowledge and governance knowledge, which is indeed a great help to him.

Hei Qingsheng was born as a samurai and was the originator of the samurai regime in Japanese history. He used force to pacify people who were dissatisfied with him, and suppressed the emperor, grasped real power, and became the de facto ruler of Japan.

Among the 66 commanding countries in Japan, there are more than 16 controlled by the Ping clan's cronies. There are a total of more than [-] people in the , Weifu and Zhusi.

Ping Qingsheng himself has a very strong military force, has a large number of fans, and relies on political marriage to make himself a relative, and also establishes relationships with some old-fashioned noble families, which can be said to be powerful.

But he was not without worries.
