586 Tamna
"I asked the lookout, at least it's not worse than here, there are not so many small islands and reefs on the shore, and the terrain is not too high, so you have to go to the field to see it."
Wang Xiong was very happy that his opinion could be valued by Chen Niang, and he simply pretended not to see Wang Hao's round eyes, and also picked up a ruler and drew on the chart together.
“…… Then go and see, if not, go east! Ladies and gentlemen, there is a Jeju Island here, and if it weren't for the forty mention, I would have ignored it. The island is not far away, and I would like to visit it right away. ”
After hesitating for a while, Chen Niang finally made a decision to go to Jeju Island first. If the conditions are right, build a port on it, and then slowly figure it out.
Since it was an island, it must have been separated from the mainland by a strait, and at the same time, it also cut off part of the control of the Goryeo Dynasty. If you want to build a country, it is definitely easier to develop on the island than on land.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to going to the island for development, such as resources and population, and there is another important problem, Daddy let himself come to Goryeo to find a base, and he didn't say that he could go to the island.
Is it time to tamper with Daddy's will? Chen Niang felt that it all depended on the conditions on the island. If it's suitable, it doesn't hurt to change it, anyway, it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, so it's a big deal to go back and be punished.
Jeju Island, which later became Jeju Island in South Korea. It is located at the southern tip of the peninsula and is separated from the mainland by a strait seventy or eighty kilometers wide. At this time, there was no name for Jeju, it was called Tamna, and it was a small country, which was considered a vassal state of Goryeo.
Since it is a country, there must be people living on the island, not only people, but also the port. But it's not a big port, so a simple breakwater is piled up with stones on the seashore, and it looks like it's 100 meters deep into the sea.
There are many small boats moored in the port, barely called a boat, anyway, Wang Hao went to the South Seas at the age of fourteen, and has traveled through many countries, and has never seen such a simple ship. But people can float on the water, and there is something like a sail poking it, so what is the name of the boat.
As for the house, it is simpler, a bit like the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, several sizes smaller, with round walls and domes, I don't know what material it is, it is too far to see clearly. There are more than 100 seats, and it seems that the population is also quite large.
"Unless I bring a boat over to negotiate first, I don't know what they say and whether they can understand Goryeo."
Stopping five nautical miles away and taking turns to look at the telescope for a long time, Wang Hao decided not to wait, it was his job to negotiate with the locals, and as a maritime businessman, it was also his job to interact with strangers.
"Uncle, don't worry, let's go around the island first and then go ashore." This time it was Jiang Erlang who spoke, and he held the telescope to focus not on the port, but on the terrain on both sides of the port.
"It's good, it's good...... So who are? Wang Hao felt that it was right to do this, and he was not in a hurry for a day or two anyway.
As soon as he put down the binoculars, he suddenly found that several black-clothed soldiers were climbing down on the side of the ship, and when he stretched out his head, he saw that a small boat had been put into the water, and about seven or eight black-clothed soldiers had already sat on it.
"They will first go to find out the truth of the other party, and we will return here tomorrow evening, and we will know how many people, soldiers, and horses there are without going ashore, and the adults often say that no matter what we do, we must know ourselves and our opponents." Jiang Erlang waved his hand at the dinghy below and gave an understatement to the answer.
“…… It's strange that I want to believe you! Wang Hao nodded yes on the surface, but he started beating the drum again in his heart.
The night army on the ship all changed into bells and whistles, as if called camouflage uniforms, which was the standard combat clothing of the new army, and they also carried bows and crossbows and a lot of crossbow arrows. If you just go ashore to find out the situation, why be fully armed, this is not going to an enemy country, people will never meet and take out knives.
Not to mention that well-informed people are smart, this time Wang Hao guessed correctly, the fleet circled around the island, and found no other decent ports, and returned to the only port in the north of the island at noon the next day.
But instead of approaching immediately, he anchored far away, and only when the sun was about to set did he lift anchor and return to the position of the previous day. All ships were not allowed to light their lights, except for a gas lamp on the main mast of the Huangzhou, which was covered with a brass cover, which was opened and closed by lookouts from time to time.
"General, there are almost more than 2,000 people in the port, and there are many villages within ten miles of the vicinity, and you can see the light of the fire at night, so I didn't have time to go over and take a closer look. The subordinates were incompetent, and they did not find any troops, but they found a few relatively large houses, and at the door stood some men with wooden sticks, like guns but too thin. Those big houses should be the official mansions here, there are quite a lot of people in them, and they are lit up all night. ”
In about half an hour, a little light also lit up on the dark sea, and a small boat was slowly approaching, and all the black-clad soldiers sent out had returned.
Immediately after getting on the boat, someone took a small notebook and reported the investigation situation to Jiang Erlang, but unfortunately there was nothing surprising, and the living conditions of the Tamluo people were completely different from those of the Song people, Liao people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people, and it was difficult to judge.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, is there a suitable landing site?" Jiang Erlang didn't talk nonsense, he was ready to do what he was best at, sneak attack!
"Yes, about 500 meters west of the harbor is a shoal, surrounded by low bushes. From there, the shore will not be detected, and the road leading to the port is sandy and can be approached silently. During the evacuation, the enemy cavalry could be blocked by the low woods, but the subordinates did not notice any horses in the port. ”
This is the quality of special forces, perennial field operations have made the ability to collect intelligence a talent, no matter where they go, how to attack, how to retreat, more than one set of plans will be planned, and each soldier can judge for himself.
"Give the order to go down, take twenty swarms of bees, and set out in two quarters of an hour. A few of you will go to the beach to guard first, and use the lights to guide the landing boats. ”
The enemy was unprepared, not too many in number, and had a suitable route of attack and retreat, which was the perfect condition for action in Jiang Erlang's eyes. There is no need to discuss with anyone, and if the colt is there, it should be arranged in this way, maybe the means are more insidious.
As for letting Wang Hao and them go ashore for friendly consultations, Jiang Erlang didn't consider it at all. The colt once said that the ideal way to buy and sell is to force others to meet their needs with a bow and crossbow, and if they can't beat or the cost is too high, they will turn to face-to-face negotiation mode.
Now that we have the conditions to achieve the most ideal state, why not settle for the next best? There is no need to discuss this matter with anyone, and the horse has given him the final decision on the use of force, and even Chen Niang cannot interfere.
The special forces who participated in the operation on all four ships were on deck, and it was impossible not to alarm the people on board. Wang Hao couldn't sleep because he was worried about it, and when he heard that people kept moving around in the cabin, he simply put on his clothes and got out, and then he was startled by the scene in front of him.
The deck was full of people, and there was no extra noise except for the faint sound of footsteps, like a group of ghosts, or ghosts with weapons.
"Little lady queen, what's the matter?" In the face of these silent soldiers, Wang Haozhen couldn't muster up the courage to come forward to ask, and looked back at the stern, Chen Niang and Sidi were standing at the door of the captain's room.
"Wang Zuotou, don't worry, Second Uncle Jiang is about to send someone ashore to help you negotiate about the port, if you are not sleepy, go to the stern to see how the conversation goes." However, the deck is hard, so it's best to wear thick clothes. ”
Chen Niang and Sidi lived in the captain's room, which was also the only cabin above the deck, and there were glass windows, which were relatively comfortable. Since there was no light on the deck, Chen Niang couldn't see where Wang Hao was, so she had to shout in the direction of the hatch.
Wang Hao was anxious to know the details, but he didn't dare to go up to the stern tower to blow the wind like this, the sea in winter was very cold at night, not only to wear thick clothes, but also to produce down jackets on Ganliang Road.
When he returned to his cabin, he put on a down jacket and winter boots, and then put on a gas lamp, but before he left the deck, he was ordered to be extinguished by several soldiers, saying that it was Jiang Erlang's order, what is it called light control.
"Little lady Queen, isn't it too rude to send troops without negotiation, maybe they are willing to let us dock to exchange goods, wouldn't it be better?" This made Wang Hao even more unhappy, but he didn't dare to lie with the black-clothed army when he was angry, so he had to go up to the stern tower in the dark and express his dissatisfaction to Chen Niang.
