Return to Changshan Islands
Chapter 1151 Return to Changshan Islands
In addition to several warships, this fleet left Zhifu Port and headed north, and there were more than [-] passenger and cargo sailing ships with a displacement of about [-] tons.Its destination is not the coast of Jiaodong Peninsula, but Phi Island across the sea from Zhifu Island.
The commander of the fleet is still Wang Tom, the commander of the navy. He has led the team to Phi Island once before, and he is familiar with it.The purpose of this trip to the local area is threefold. One is to deliver relief supplies to Dongjiang Town, the other is to have face-to-face talks with the senior officials of Dongjiang Town, and the third is to assist Dongjiang Town to return to the Changshan Islands adjacent to the Liaodong Peninsula.
Since the last contact with Dongjiang Town, Haihan has shipped grain, cloth, and other daily necessities worth tens of thousands of taels of silver to Phi Island, and as part of the exchange and return, Phi Island has also exported to Haihan More than [-] healthy young and strong laborers, some of them have been transferred to Dinghai Port in Zhoushan in the south after a short stay on Zhifu Island, and then distributed and resettled to various colonial sites along the southeast coast.In the next year, tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees will be transferred to various places in the south through the immigration camp on Zhifu Island. The two sides will use this method to gradually resolve the refugee crisis on Phi Island.
For Haihan, Dongjiang Town is not just a down-and-out Ming army that is not valued by the court. As long as it is used properly, it can not only harvest a lot of cheap labor from the area under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, but also allow it to serve as Haihan's entry into Liaodong. Lead the way and reduce the difficulty of performing combat missions locally.Daming is now unable to recapture Liaodong, but Haihan has always been very interested in this throat area that guards the northern sea frontier, especially the Jinzhou area at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, which was already banned by the Executive Committee a few years ago. It was included in the list of areas that must be controlled in advance.
This area used to be under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, and what Haihan wants to do now is to use the name of Dongjiang Town to carry out armed occupation of the local area.Of course, the generals of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town may not be willing to accept Haihan's plan, so Tom Wang must go to Pidao in person to discuss the details of future cooperation with the other party face to face.
Prior to this, the general of Dongjiang Town, Shen Zhixiang, had been to Zhifu Island and witnessed Haihan's military strength with his own eyes. Haihan also specially arranged measures to instill him with some information about the changes in the Northeast region, so that he would be aware of Haihan's involvement in this matter. The benefits of this area to Daming, especially Dongjiang Town, and the bright prospect of win-win cooperation between the two parties.
Judging from Dongjiang Town's reaction after Shen Zhixiang returned to Pidao, the other party should be more acceptable to Haihan's current cooperation conditions, which also provides the possibility for the two parties to discuss more in-depth cooperation in the future.But the road still has to be taken step by step. This time, Haihan will help Dongjiang Town return to the Changshan Islands. After the spring, the local area can start farming food as soon as possible. Part of the food problem will be solved by the end of next year, and Haihan’s material delivery pressure will also increase. Then lighten up a little.
Of course, the food problem is only part of the reason. Haihan hopes that through this method, Dongjiang Town can maintain sufficient pressure on the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula throughout the winter.This is because after this operation, the main force of the Beishang Fleet will leave Shandong and head south, and return to Zhoushan Dinghai Port for the winter. By the way, the warships will be maintained. There is no way to continue to exert pressure on the Houjin-controlled area.Before that, Wang Tom must reach a preliminary agreement with Dongjiang Town on the future cooperation method.
Two days later, the Haihan fleet safely arrived in the waters near Phi Island, and then sent a small boat to the island to inform the Ming army of their intention.Then the Ming army also sent people to the flagship of the fleet, and agreed with Wang Tom on the time and place of the meeting between the two parties.
The next morning, Wang Tom met with Shen Shikui, the current commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, on an uninhabited island less than one mile in radius to the west of Phi Island and adjacent to the main island.The island is less than a hundred feet away from Phi Island, and there are no hidden places on the island. After landing on the island, you can have a panoramic view of the island. Both parties boarded the island by boat, so that each other can feel at ease.
However, Haihan has always been extremely well-prepared in terms of details, so immediately after landing on the island, he found a flat place on the island, set up a large awning, and placed foldable tables and chairs. , There is also a marching stove for making tea next to it.The whole process took only a few minutes, which stunned Shen Shikui and his party who landed on the island almost at the same time.It was Tom Wang who took the initiative to greet each other first, and the two sides greeted each other, and then took their seats under the awning together.
"I heard from Zhixiang that all the adults in Haihan are people who are good at enjoying themselves. Seeing you today, you really deserve your reputation!" After Shen Shikui sat down, he began to look at these utensils.He was a businessman, so he was more careful about materials and workmanship. Although the Ming army also had equipment such as field tents and folding tables and chairs, the quality was not as good as that used by the Haihan people.In particular, the stove for boiling water was extremely small, neither burning wood nor coal, but the flames were burning quite vigorously. If it wasn't in front of the Haihan people, Shen Shikui would probably be amazed at this.
Wang Tom replied with a smile: "Life is exhausting, and I just want to live a more comfortable life. People like us who have been wandering outside all the year round can only comfort themselves by eating and dressing as much as possible. Let Master Shen laugh!"
Shen Shikui sighed: "I think that when I was doing business in Liaodong, I lived a life of luxury and good food, but I didn't expect the situation to change, Liaodong changed its flag, and the old man became the general soldier of Dongjiang Town by mistake. Now I can only live a life of frugality on this deserted island, and I don’t know if there is still a chance to change the situation!"
"Yes! Of course there is!" Wang Tom followed the words and talked about his purpose of coming this time: "Liaodong has always been the territory of our Han people, how can the wild boar skins outside the pass be taken by the gold thieves! Shen If your lord has the will to regain Liaodong, we Haihan are more than happy to help."
Wang Tom's words "we are Han people" warmed Shen Shikui's heart. Although he also knew that the people in front of him were not Ming people, since the other party claimed to be of Han descent, he was of course happy to see it.It's not that Shen Shikui didn't think that the Haihan people had another purpose in helping Dongjiang Town with their money and efforts, but judging from the current situation, at least the Haihan people hadn't made any excessive demands, and they also regarded the Houjin regime as an enemy. The political stance is consistent with the Ming army.The assistance provided by Haihan has an irresistible temptation for Dongjiang Town who is in trouble.
However, Shen Shikui is also very clear-headed. He knows that with Dongjiang Town's existing armed forces, it is almost tantamount to a dream to counterattack after Liaodong's defeat. Even if Haihan is willing to give military support, he is not willing to let his subordinates easily Many people went to the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield to act as cannon fodder.Therefore, regarding Wang Tom's remarks, Shen Shikui still maintained a relatively calm mind: "General Wang, Dongjiang Town is currently short of major generals, food and clothing, and it is difficult to confront Jiannu head-on. The issue of food is the top priority. It won’t be too late to make other plans after my strength in Dongjiang Town recovers."
Shen Shikui's answer was basically expected by Wang Tom. Before he set off this time, the Zhifu Island Command had already made a general assessment of the armed strength of Dongjiang Town, and believed that the number of troops it could devote to combat missions in the short term was not enough. There will be more than 3000 people, and such a small number of people is simply a drop in the bucket for the vast Liaodong. Let alone defeating Houjin, it is not bad to occupy one or two strongholds.Therefore, Haihan did not place too high hopes on it, and the rhythm and progress of the next march into Liaodong still had to be controlled by himself.
"The Changshan Islands will definitely be brought back, and this is also the purpose of my visit to Phi Island this time." Tom Wang reassured Shen Shikui first, and then extended the topic: "But our ultimate goal is to get from Houjin took back Liaodong, so whether it is the Changshan Islands or any other place in Liaodong, it is just a springboard for us to enter Liaodong and defeat Houjin. I hope that the two sides can form a strategic alliance and form a joint force in Liaodong Operations in the region. Of course, considering the current situation in Dongjiang Town, we will also give you some assistance in terms of personnel, weapons, training and transportation.”
Shen Shikui was not overjoyed by Tom Wang's generous offer. After all, he came from a businessman background, and his first reaction to this situation was to consider what the other party wanted from him.Haihan people are not good men and women. The measures they took in Dengzhou and Lushunkou have fully proved this point. Shen Shikui still dare not agree to Wang Tom's alliance proposal before he understands Haihan's true intentions.
Shen Shikui coughed dryly and said, "I would like to ask, what does your country want to gain from Dongjiang Town... no, it should be the Liaodong area? Can you tell me clearly, General Wang, to avoid The old man is guessing here and there, and it would be wrong to make a misunderstanding."
Tom Wang was not in a hurry to answer his question, but asked his subordinates to bring up the freshly brewed hot tea first: "This is Longjing tea from Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. The new tea picked at the beginning of this year must be difficult to buy in Dongjiang Town. Yes, Mr. Shen can taste it, if you like the taste, I will ask someone to leave a few catties of tea later."
Shen Shikui smiled wryly and said: "Dongjiang Town can't even buy food, how can we get good tea from the south! Not to mention drinking tea, if it weren't for your country's help, many people might not even be able to drink rice soup this winter. General Wang Thank you in advance, old man!"
Tom Wang took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, then raised his hand to screen away the soldiers around him.Seeing this, Shen Shikui knew that Tom Wang might be about to get to the point, so he followed the same pattern and made all his subordinates, including Shen Zhixiang, retreat several feet away.
"Since Mr. Shen took the initiative to ask, I really can't justify it if I'm not honest." Tom Wang said unhurriedly: "In fact, we don't ask much, just want to have a port in the Liaodong Peninsula. , just like the Zhifu Port we are building in Dengzhou.”
Shen Shikui narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to ask: "Then the old man wants to ask, will this port belong to Haihan from now on, or will it still belong to my Daming?"
"The right to use belongs to our country, and the ownership can be negotiated slowly." Seeing Shen Shikui's puzzled expression, Wang Tom explained to him: "For example, Zhifu Port in Dengzhou still belongs to Daming in name, but in reality The management and use rights of the government are in our hands, and all local rules and laws are also subject to those formulated by our country. But we also respect the existence of local governments, and most things can be negotiated by both parties, and we can also use In the form of material aid or rent, the local government will be given a certain amount of subsidies.”
Shen Shikui was noncommittal, and then asked Tom Wang: "Since General Wang has considered it so meticulously, it must be that the place has already been selected?"
Wang Tom nodded and said, "Lushunkou."
"Good vision!" Shen Shikui praised: "When I crossed the sea from Shandong in the Ming Dynasty and entered Liaodong to destroy the remnants of the previous dynasty, I landed at Lushunkou. The natural harbor there is indeed a rare and good place!"
Wang Tom continued: "The harbor belongs to us, and the military merits are given to Dongjiang Town. What do you think, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Shikui thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I think it's feasible. But this transaction is limited to Lushunkou, General Wang, don't forget."
Tom Wang smiled and said, "I understand what Mr. Shen means. It's easy to say, easy to say."
Last time, Pan Yan, the former commander of the Dengzhou Navy, who was captured by Haihan at Lushunkou, returned to Phi Island from Zhifu Port with Shen Zhixiang, and told Shen Shikui in detail about the combat methods of the Haihan fleet, so he did not doubt that the Haihan fleet Has the strength to win Lushunkou.But Shen Shikui was worried that Haihan was greedy and would continue to get involved in other places after taking over Lushun, so he put the ugly words to the front first, so as not to be taken advantage of by Haihan in the future.
But Tom Wang is not worried about this kind of agreement. In Haihan's plan, Dongjiang Town is actually the target of annexation in the future.Most of the thousands of soldiers of the Ming army had fought against Houjin in Liaodong, and many of them could be recruited as a source of soldiers for the Haihan army.As long as time passes, this corner will definitely be slowly dug down.At that time, Dongjiang Town will become an empty shell, and the previous promise will naturally lose its binding effect.
Of course, these exchange conditions are still only verbal intentional commitments, and it is impossible for the two parties to sign a written agreement for this, so there are still certain variables.At present, what is actually feasible is for the Haihan Fleet to assist the soldiers and civilians of Phi Island to return to the Changshan Islands.
According to the general plan agreed upon by Shen Zhixiang and Haihan in Zhifu Port before this, Haihan will provide some food and living materials for about [-] soldiers and civilians returning to the Changshan Islands, and provide them with grain and food in the spring of the coming year. farm tools so that the area can resume agricultural production smoothly.Many of the details still need to be finalized by Wang Tom and Shen Shikui.
