03 Half a year is a change
"You select 200 people from the special operations camp, and focus on excellent skills, reconnaissance skills and concealment skills are preferred, and it is best to have soldiers who can speak Japanese." Li Tianyang asked Yamamoto 56 to participate in the personnel.
"Yes!" Yamamoto didn't ask why, just nodded firmly.
"When the time comes, you will make your own specific plans, I will not ask for more, the only thing is not to expose our existence, even if it is discovered, you must get rid of our suspicion." The reason why he wanted to find some warriors who could speak Japanese was that Li Tianyang hoped to distract the other party's attention when he was exposed, so that no one would find out that his own point existed.
Anyway, since Hongmen had an absolute advantage in the successive naval battles with Samoto and had actually controlled the South China Sea, the number of Japanese ronin warriors who came to Hongmen to take refuge in Hongmen increased day by day.
Up to now, the number of Japanese warriors under the command of Hongmen has exceeded the scale of four hundred, not to mention that the personal strength of the Japanese is indeed extraordinary, coupled with the resolute and absolutely obedient character of the people, they quickly occupied a place in the Hongmen team.
For example, now, Yamamoto 56 has to select a group of people to carry out this top-secret mission according to Li Tianyang's requirements, and he can almost complete the collection of people in the special operations camp alone.
"............" Li Tianyang lowered his voice and began to arrange specific tasks with Yamamoto Fifty-six.
After Yamamoto Isoroku left, that night, a modified Hongmen 400 Fortune ship quietly left the Chicken Coop Harbor and headed north.
After Yamamoto Fifty-six left, Li Tianyang also put this matter aside for a long time, and no longer paid attention to and worried about this temporary matter, which could finally bring some gains to his team.
As far as the special operations battalion itself is concerned, it is born for this kind of time, whether it is camouflage infiltration, all kinds of coordination skills, etc., compared with fighting with real knives and guns on the frontal battlefield, this task is the time when the essence of the word special warfare can be best embodied.
Therefore, when Li Tianyang released the most suitable people in the team to perform this task, it was time to wait for them to bring him a surprise.
In March, more than 3,000 indigenous warriors of the Bengang Alliance once again launched a sweep of the vast jungle wilderness east of Da'an Port and west of the Snow Mountain Range at the invitation of Li Tianyang after arriving late to rescue Hongmen Jilong Harbor.
The result of the sweep was very good, and more than 4,000 members of the indigenous tribes of Shengfan were captured again, and the various tribe members who sent troops this time could be made up, and at the same time the large areas of the fields that were unable to develop were consolidated.
Of course, this time the members of the alliance are all shrewd, and they are no longer as bitter as they were at the beginning to want to allocate land hunting grounds, even if they want land hunting grounds at this time, they don't have enough manpower to occupy them, so they are all full of interest in the captured indigenous tribe population.
In the end, the captives assigned by Hongmen were only about fifty lonely and young children, and none of the adults asked for them, which could be regarded as a small help, but they still needed a few years of training.
In addition to giving a certain amount of compensation, they also set aside an uninhabited island covering an area of no more than ten miles to Hongmen among the many islands west of Yakushima as a foothold for their trade with the Japanese state.
For this reason, Hongmen promised that the island would still belong to Samosa, but Hongmen had to pay 100 taels of silver every year as the cost of leasing this nameless island.
Speaking of which, everyone doesn't understand why Li Tianyang went to the more distant Wa Kingdom to occupy a piece of land when Hongmen did not even develop the three islands of Dayuan Island and Iriomote in front of him, which is really a bit inexplicable!
However, in later generations, he was nurtured by the Monopoly game, and saw the influence of the United States to build military bases everywhere, Li Tianyang still took over this enclave as it was in the same way.
Moreover, in Li Tianyang's view, this small island is not useless, it can be used as a place for the Hongmen Qixintang ocean-going fleet to shelter from the wind and rain and stop!
Samosa's subduing allowed Hongmen Qixintang's ocean-going fleet to once again be able to trade directly to the Japanese without worrying about the danger of being attacked by Samosa's fleet.
There was also a new trade route between North Korea, and after the battle between the Jin people and the North Korean and Ming Dynasty came to an end after March and April, there was also a profit, and valuable medicinal materials such as Korean ginseng and deer antler velvet from North Korea were all best-sellers, bringing a lot of income to the ocean-going fleet.
The products from Qixintang and the south of the Ming Dynasty are not popular in North Korea, even in the country where the wound has just experienced a big war, there are still many customers who are willing to spend money after the war, and most of them are the nobility of North Korea, and they do not see the worry about the safety of the country on their faces.
After going there once, the person in charge of the ocean-going fleet suggested to Li Tianyang that recruiting displaced people in Korea would definitely yield more than in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.
As for March, at the invitation of Governor Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town, Li Tianyang sent 1,000 soldiers including Lu Qi to the north to get close to and feel the Houjin Jurchens who made the Ming Dynasty regard them as tigers and wolves, and the harvest was also very rich.
Because of Li Tianyang's cautious advice, Lu Yan's troops went to Yuncong Island to assist Commander Mao Wenlong this time, and basically did not lose any manpower, and because Hongmen sent the main "Yang Fan" warship this time, the shelling at sea alone brought great help to Mao Wenlong's soldiers in Dongjiang Town.
Even a blitzkrieg organized by Mao Wenlong himself, with the support of nearly 100 guns from the "Yang Fan" battleship, let Mao Wenlong's army win a small victory, killed dozens of Jurchen soldiers, and was sent to the imperial court by them.
At the same time, the two teams of special combat battalion soldiers sent by Li Tianyang to Lu Yu took advantage of the night to touch the battlefield around Tieshan in North Korea, and then through sneak attacks and other means, they finally completed Li Tianyang's task and returned to Dayuan Island with two living Jurchen soldiers.
For this, the price paid by the special operations battalion was the sacrifice of three elite fighters and the minor injury of five fighters.
Of course, the reason why the elite of the Hongmen Special Operations Battalion had such a big sacrifice was also because the opponent they were facing at that time was also a Jurchen team with about ten people.
However, after Lu Yu and the others interrogated the two captives, their original little complacency suffered a great blow, and the Houjin squad that they destroyed was only an auxiliary team composed of Houjin Yuding, not its regular army.
