Although the Ming Dynasty did not conquer Japan for the time being due to various reasons.
However, this does not mean that Ming Dynasty stopped after annexing Goryeo.
On the contrary, Ming Dynasty was actively making various preparations for the subsequent eastern expedition against Japan.
For example, when the Ming Dynasty Army was busy annexing Goryeo, the Tamna Island mentioned by Yan Changqing was also taken by the Ming Dynasty Navy.
It was even easier for the Ming Navy to capture Tamna Island than it was for the Ming Dynasty to annex Goryeo.
After all, Tamna Island is just a small island with an overall area of less than 2,000 square kilometers. In addition, it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so there is basically no way to escape.
Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty naval fleet surrounded Tamna Island, it sent 40,000 naval officers to move forward in a wrapping style from the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tamna Island.
When 40,000 naval officers arrived at the center of Tamna Island, it turned out that more than 100,000 former Mongolian and Yuan nobles, survivors of the Yuan Dynasty, and criminals exiled here by the Ming Dynasty on Tamna Island were all captured by the Ming Dynasty naval officers.
Again, if it's just a cold-weapons confrontation, then maybe those former Mongolian and Yuan nobles, survivors of the Yuan Dynasty, and criminals exiled here by the Ming Dynasty on Tamluo Island can still fight a few "623" with the Ming Navy. round.
After all, Tamna Island believes in the law of the jungle, and those who can survive on Tamna Island can basically be called villains, and they are all very vicious at heart.
When it comes to fighting will, to some extent it is not inferior to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
This is also the reason why the Goryeo court was never able to truly take back and rule Tamna Island.
With the same weapons and equipment, or even slightly inferior weapons to Goryeo, these Tamra Island villains were even able to gain the upper hand in the battle with Goryeo by virtue of their fierce fighting will.
However, the Ming Dynasty, which has begun to enter the era of hot weapons, is least afraid of cruelty.
If being fierce is useful, then there is no need for Yan Changqing to let craftsmen continue to develop firearms.
No matter how ferocious it is, it is all empty in the face of heartless cannons.
If it can resist the heartless cannons, then the Ming Dynasty Navy still has the organic archers to shoot thousands of arrows.
If even the archers could withstand the volley of thousands of arrows, then the Ming Dynasty also had an organized musket formation to deal with it.
It can be said that artillery, mainly heartless cannons, bows and arrows, mainly archers, and muskets, mainly musket squadrons, basically constitute the three-layer firepower network of far, middle and near on the current battlefield of the Ming Dynasty.
This is very close to, and even to a certain extent, equivalent to the modern thermal weapon attack mode of Yan Changqing's previous life.
Under the cross-coverage of this three-layer firepower network of far, middle and near, basically no enemy can get in front of Ming Dynasty's soldiers so far.
Even if there is, it has just been more than ten years since the founding of the country, and the Northern Expedition was even launched several times in the past few years. So far, the Ming soldiers who have still maintained a very brave spirit are not afraid of close combat.
Even to a certain extent, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who overthrew the Bei Yuan were even more fierce in close combat than the soldiers of the Bei Yuan in the past.
Therefore, if an enemy really breaks through to the Ming Dynasty soldiers, then the Ming Dynasty soldiers will directly drop their bows, arrows and muskets, then look at the opponent with a ferocious smile, and directly rush towards them with their swords and tigers to fight with them.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the villains on Tamna Island knelt down faster than the Goryeo court.
When the Ming Dynasty was still busy annexing Goryeo, the Ming Navy was already busy operating and developing Tamna Island.
It has to be said that the geographical and environmental conditions of Tamna Island are still very good, otherwise Goryeo would not have begged the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty to reward it with this island.
First of all, Tamna Island is also rich in limestone deposits.
Although the reserves of limestone deposits are certainly not as large as those in mainland Korea, they are at least enough for the development of Tamna Island.
So after the tens of thousands of villains on Tamna Island were captured by the Ming Navy soldiers, they began to search for limestone mines. After finding them, they established a concrete cement production plant on the spot.
Over the years, people throughout the Ming Dynasty have also discovered that various buildings and other facilities built with concrete, cement, and steel bars are much stronger than those built with wood, earth, and masonry.
For example, in the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty, if ordinary wooden, earth, and masonry buildings encounter typhoons or floods, most of them will be swept away by typhoons and collapsed, or washed away by floods.
But if it is a building made of concrete, cement and steel, most of it can withstand natural disasters such as typhoons and floods.
Therefore, the buildings in the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty have begun to gradually use concrete, cement and steel bars to build.
So when the Ming Dynasty navy officers captured Tamna Island, the first thing they had to do was to build a concrete and cement production plant and a small steel smelting department.
It's just that although there are many limestone mines on Tamna Island, there are not many iron ores.
Fortunately, Tamna Island is very close to Goryeo, so it is still possible to transport Goryeo's local iron ore to Tamna Island for smelting and then produce the required steel bars and other steel materials.
Then, the produced concrete cement and steel bars were used to build a large military city with a circumference of tens to hundreds of miles, and a wall three feet high and two feet thick.
Later, large bungalows made of concrete, cement and steel bars were built in the city to provide housing for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
In this case, the Ming Dynasty soldiers stationed on Tamna Island in the later period would not have to worry too much about coastal typhoons.
After the basic residential buildings were built, the next step was to build concrete roads on Tamna Island as well as a docking dock on the edge of the island [to facilitate the later access of the Ming Navy generals to the island.
At the same time, Tamna Island’s geographical environment and climate are also very superior. It is located in the subtropical climate of the Pacific Ocean, with a humid climate and abundant water plants.
It can be said to be a very good horse ranch, and it is difficult to find a better horse ranch in Asia.
When the Yuan Dynasty fell, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 war horses on Luo Island.
At its peak, the number of war horses raised on Tamna Island was estimated to be no less than 50,000…
And if Tamna Island can raise horses, then it will naturally be able to grow crops.
After all, Tamna Island has no shortage of water and soil conditions required for growing crops.
It's just that in the past, because most of the people living on Tamna Island were villains, there was no stable and harmonious order overall, so agricultural crop cultivation on Tamna Island has never been able to develop.
After all, there is a saying: "My neighbor collects grain and I collect guns, and my neighbor is my granary."
Under such circumstances, if there is no strong force to protect them, then whoever grows more and better food will be more likely to be robbed.
In addition, the villains on Tamna Island also believe in the law of the weak and the strong. Planting food well will not be as fast as picking up other people's food.
Therefore, except for the villagers who are attached to a few relatively "big towns" on Tamna Island, who can safely reclaim farmland and plant crops, the farmland elsewhere is basically in a semi-abandoned state.
And when the Ming Dynasty captured Tamna Island with thunderous momentum and established the Ming Dynasty's absolutely stable rule on Tamna Island, then Tamna Island began to usher in a stable and harmonious order.
Similarly, the more than 100,000 villains and people of Tamluo Island who were originally captured were either thrown away by the Ming Dynasty soldiers to produce concrete and build cities, or they were thrown into farming by the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
In addition, in order to achieve Tamna Island's food self-sufficiency as soon as possible, the Ming Dynasty's logistics transportation lines were shortened.
Before the end of the summer harvest, a batch of grain was urgently replanted, and they were all high-yielding grains such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
As long as they wait until the autumn harvest, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on Tamna Island will be able to harvest millions of stones of potatoes, corns and sweet potatoes.
At that time, it will be able to initially satisfy the Ming Dynasty's 40,000 naval officers stationed on Tamna Island, as well as more than 100,000 original villains and people on Tamna Island.
And this is only the first year of development plan for Tamna Island in the future.
In the next second year, the infrastructure construction of large military cities, 3.6 and other ports, roads, etc. on Tamna Island will be completed.
In the next third year, Luodao will further expand the cultivation of food crops related to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The goal of planting is to enable Tamna Island to not rely on the Ming Dynasty's logistical grain transportation, so that it can meet the basic clothing, food, housing and transportation needs of 100,000 naval officers and 400,000 people on the island just by relying on the island's production output.
In the next fourth year, it is expected that two more small shipyards and two small smelting companies will be opened on Tamna Island.
This allows Tamna Island to become a logistics maintenance and supply base for the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet in the future, so as to provide assistance to the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet in the later expedition to Japan.
In the next five years, Tamna Island will truly become an overseas military base of the Ming Dynasty with 100,000 permanent navy and army officers stationed overseas for a long time, with relevant naval fleets, and able to assist other Ming naval forces in suppressing the Japanese!
