The Koreans call Pi Island Pingdao, which is located at the mouth of the Yalu River, and is only separated from Yizhou, North Korea. Kwang Haijun and Zheng Renhong don’t know why the Ming Dynasty envoy pointed out that Pingdao was needed, and they also called Pi Island. However, as long as they can quickly send people away, whether it is Pi Island or Pingdao, they will give it. Anyway, if you don’t write down your words, you will always have a chance to go back in the future.

The Ming Dynasty's personal envoy was just a slave in the family of the emperor and a servant in the neighborhood. How could he be so glorious for a lifetime? Isn't it that Wang Zhi, the powerful soldiers swept the caves and shocked the country, and it was so glorious for several years in the end?

Moreover, this Pi Island is not a great place. The area of ​​the island is actually not large. It is only about 80 miles away. There are only more than 20,000 residents on the island, and among which the Han people account for seven or eight, and the Koreans only two or three ten. Therefore, although the nominal Pepi Island belongs to North Korea, the Han people on the island are actually semi-"independent" and are not controlled by the Korean government.

Therefore, there is not much difference between giving or not giving. Moreover, this Pi Island is actually a place where merchants can transfer.

People on the island, whether Han or Korean, do not make a living by fishing or farming, but only make a living by selling goods.

Most of these products are specialties from ginseng, cloth, Liaodong and North Korea.

If we use the concept of the father-in-law’s previous life to characterize it, Pidao is a spontaneous logistics center formed by the people in Northeast Asia.

When the Later Jin rises, the value of Pidao is reflected in this area. With the rise of the Later Jin, its strategic position suddenly became prominent.

But without Mao Wenlong, Pi Island will not become Dongjiang Town.

In his previous life, Mao Wenlong recruited refugees from Liaodong with Pi Island, Tieshan and Kuanshan District as bases, and recruited refugees from the elderly and weak, and the strong were soldiers. From nothing to something, he gradually developed into an overseas strong army. In the second year of Tianqi, the court officially appointed Mao Wenlong as the general general of the Ping Liao, and took the seal of the former general, opened the Dongjiang River, thus becoming an important military region behind the enemy in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Mao Wenlong was also a talented man. After the establishment of Dongjiang Town, he recruited and pacified the people of Liaodong who were displaced due to the war and helped and resettled more than one million people. At the same time, he sent generals to go out and continued to penetrate into the hinterland of the Later Jin Dynasty, destroying the vitality of the Later Jin army, and gradually became a major concern for the Later Jin Dynasty.

The Later Jin Dynasty said: "The troubles of Mao Wenlong should be destroyed quickly! If Wenlong is not destroyed for a day, then the traitor will be rebellious for a day, and the good people will be restless for a day."

Eunuch Wei asked Pi Island because the two Yizhou, Ningbian and Jingcheng were too close to Jianzhou. If Jianzhou rebelled, tens of thousands of cavalrymen would not be able to stop them.

Therefore, we must take Pi Island in our hands and use it as a logistics base for food, equipment and weapons. In this way, we can attack and retreat and defend. We will lose the support points of the Korean Peninsula and Jianzhou unless the war fails.

Jiang Fangyin once asked his father-in-law why he had to come to Pi Island from the hands of the Koreans. His father-in-law said: "It is a dangerous situation, and the way of the general. Pi Island is based on the danger of Yalu, and is close to the river, so I have the place to go. If one day Jianzhou rebels from our Ming Dynasty, then this island will be like a poison between Jianzhou's elbows and armpits. If Jianzhou moves, the poison will be triggered... There is no naval army, so the poison on this island will be impossible to remove. Then, with the cooperation of the two Yizhous on the land, it will be possible to use this as an important city for slave destruction in time!"

Jiang Fangyin couldn't help but feel confused when answering this.

He has been with Yang Hao for nearly 20 years and has participated in the Korean War. As an important aide to Yang Hao, he is also aware of the situation in Liaodong, so he also knows the dangers of Jianzhou. However, it seems a bit sensational to say that Jianzhou will rebel, and it will pose a threat to Liaodong and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

I think Jianzhou has only hundreds of thousands of people. Even if the whole people have soldiers, there are only tens of thousands of elite cavalry. However, our Ming Dynasty had nearly 60,000 soldiers in Liaodong. How could it not be able to defeat it?

Liaodong must be defeated. There are hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in our pass, so how could it make its Jianzhou a disaster for the Ming Dynasty?

My father-in-law did not explain much about this.

Just as the reaction of the people in the capital when he met Amin and his entourage in Beijing, Jianzhou was in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few knowledgeable people, they were mostly objects of "unity".

Haven’t you seen the new Liao Fu Zhang Tao and Lord Zhang vigorously implementing the “first-class” policy?

The Han people in Pidao account for the majority, so there will naturally be no resistance. In addition, the North Korean side cooperated properly, so the acceptance of Pidao was very smooth.

Since Pi Island is an important place in the future, it is necessary to be governed by others.

The first person to govern the army.

The father-in-law ordered more than 500 officers and soldiers of the Ming Emperor, and surrendered more than 1,500 Han people, more than 400 Mongolians, 1,200 Jurchens, more than 800 Korean activists, and more than 4,500 officers and soldiers formed a Pidao Brigade, equipped with more than 700 firearms, 35 artillery pieces, more than 500 armor, bows, arrows, and swords and spears.

The brigade commander was taken over by Taro Higashimura, and the four teams below were appointed as assistants, formerly Jianzhou Shiguan Zhengbai Banner, Da Yinbu, Fei Gulun, Niu Zhu and Hulihai.

After the establishment of the Pidao brigade, it echoed each other with the special detachment stationed in Ningbian. If there is any trouble in Ningbian, Pidao will go to help; if there is any trouble in Pidao, Ningbian will come to rescue.

In addition, the Yizhou Heshiyi tribe formed a triangular force, and there was also an Xie'an army within China to mobilize. If Jianzhou did not attack in large quantities, he would have enough to maintain his own strength.

But the He Shiyi tribe was a little unstable. His younger brother He Shixian was a general of Shenyang, and the Yizhou Wei was also under the control of the Liaodong Governor. Eunuch Wei could still personally send a rush to suppress him in Yizhou, so that he would not dare to have any other intentions. If he left Yizhou, he would probably not be respectful.

My father-in-law had considered writing to the Emperor and directly incorporated the He Shiyi tribe into the Emperor's personal army, but considering that this move would definitely be opposed by the governor of Liaodong and the court, he gave up.

When he left, he gave him five thousand taels of silver to the Shishiyi, and another one for Yizhou Guards. He would also give him one hundred to one thousand taels of rewards to the north.

I hope to win it over with money, and not ask them to obey orders, but ask them to cause trouble.

In fact, my father-in-law did this in one fell swoop.

He Shixian was also in a pirate ship. On the one hand, Jianzhou strongly put pressure on the Liaodong Governor's Office because of the Kuan Dian Liubao. On the other hand, the guards and border residents of Yizhou all received several benefits from Kuan Dian Liubao. This was why He Shixian was willing to vomit it out, but he was afraid that his subordinates would not. Moreover, Jianzhou said that he wanted to take the head of Commander He. How could He Shiyi dare to turn against the emperor's close ministers at this time? He also pointed at Eunuch Wei and said more good things to the emperor in front of the emperor after returning to the capital.

Tailang guarded Pi Island in Dingxia Dongcun, and Hu Quan guarded the border. The only three generals led by his father-in-law to the north were Ding Xiaogong. Most of the soldiers brought to the north were left. This was obviously not in line with his father-in-law's original intention of going south to expand his army. Therefore, his father-in-law ordered all the Han people brought back from Kuan Dian and Jurchens to be placed on Pi Island, and more than 4,000 were selected from it and sent to Jinzhou, and then transported them to Jiangnan by sea.

The father-in-law's special order, and all the strong family members stay on Pi Island, no matter what tribe they have.

It took so long to move to Pi Island and needed a lot of food resettlement. Therefore, my father-in-law also needed a civil servant to be on Pi Island. After all, the guy in Dong Village could manage the army but could not control the people.
