With the sound of the mobilization horn, a large amount of materials were sent from various areas of Goryeo to the Busan area in an orderly manner.

The locals in Busan began to mobilize in full and began to build a large number of warehouses and temporary barracks to prepare for the temporary rectification after the army arrived.

They did not conflict with this work, because not only were there guarantees of food rations, but also wages to be paid. The established collective farm system also made them not worried that their agricultural harvest would be affected, and collective farms would give them a guarantee.

Therefore, the construction period is very fast and the quality is very good.

Xin Qiji arrived at Busan Port by boat in early April.

Hu Wei and other major Goryeo administrative management teams all went to Busan to work nearby.

Kong Zhende and other major commanders of the Beihai Navy led all the Beihai Navy to arrive around Busan Port to station.

As the commander of the Fifth Corps and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Battle of the Crisis, Su Jue will follow the last arriving army to the Busan area.

In mid-April, the General Command of the Ming Army's Battle of Punishment was established in Busan Port, and the comprehensive command of the crusade army, namely the Fifth Corps, was officially established, and the war command system began to be established.

On April 18, the last Ming army arrived at Busan Port under the leadership of Su Jue, deputy commander-in-chief of the Battle of the Punishment.

At this point, the Ming army and the sea and land armies arrived in the Busan area and were ready for combat. They could only launch operations according to the action orders when the General Command issued the final action order.

This expedition to Japan was another large-scale battle several years after the Ming Dynasty attacked the Western Regions.

In this battle, the combat force was 110,000, and the logistics staff such as civilians and auxiliary soldiers were mobilized, with a total mobilization of 350,000.

In addition to human mobilization, other aspects of mobilization are also very large.

For example, war horses, horses, donkeys, mules, etc. are used to fight, transport 120,000 livestock, use more than 50,000 vehicles of various types, 500 maritime warships, and more than 1,000 transport ships of various types are used.

For this war, the Ming Dynasty carried out extremely complete and huge military mobilization, material preparation, and various indicators were prepared towards the criteria for the battle to destroy the country, and even exceeded Japan's overall peak of resistance in some aspects.

Even if Japan has the ability to mobilize and create a resistance army that is more than twice the total strength of the Ming army, the Ming army is confident that they will be defeated.

In short, this battle formation was destined to unfold from the moment Hu Wei's five-year plan was completed, and the fate of Japan was also destined at this moment.

On April 23, the General Command of the Punishment Operations summarized reports from all aspects and determined that all preparations for the battle had been completed. Xin Qiji, commander-in-chief of the Punishment Operations, held the last pre-war review meeting to ensure that all parties are fully prepared.

On April 24, Xin Qiji issued an order to mobilize troops.

In the early morning of April 25, the Ming army swore an oath, and Xin Qiji read out the six crimes of the Japanese Hei clan regime, and announced the strategic goal of formally attacking the Japanese Hei clan regime and liberating Japan's territory.

At the beginning of noon that day, the main force of the Beihai Navy attacked under the command of Kong Zhende.

The 37th Division of the 13th Army, with the main force of the Beihai Navy, was preparing to set up Tsuma Island in one battle, landed on Tsuma Island in one battle, and built it as a springboard for the army to attack Kyushu Island and Honshu Island.

At the stall where the Ming army officially launched an attack, Abiliu Guozhong, the ruler of Tsushima Island, had no idea that the Ming army was planning to attack them.

Tsushima Island is very close to the local area of ​​Goryeo. It has started trade and trade with the Goryeo area for a long time ago. The two places have maintained official and private trade relations for a long time.

After the Ming Dynasty unified the country, Japan defined its main trade route on the Seto Inland Sea to Quanzhou. The trade route from Tsushima Island to Goryeo basically belongs to regional trade between Tsushima Island and the small area of ​​Goryeo, and is just a branch in the overall situation of Japan's trade.

Tsushima Island has a small area, poor soil, and poor product resources. It is necessary to trade with Goryeo to obtain necessary supplies, so it has always attached great importance to this trade route and has good connections in coastal cities and regions in southern Goryeo.

However, after the Ming Dynasty took over Goryeo and implemented a large-scale democratic revolution system, the Japanese merchants on Tsushima Island were forced to leave their commercial residence with Goryeo fugitives and return to Tsushima Island and Japan.

Local businessmen may not care much about this route, but Tsushima cannot lose this commercial route.

A year after all evacuated, Abiliu Guozhong, the ruler of Tsushima Island, tried to send people to negotiate with Goryeo, hoping to restore trade relations.

At this time, Hu Wei, who was in charge of Goryeo, considered the need to deal with Japan in the future and could not let them be wary of it too early, so he decided not to allow horse merchants to arrive at the local port of Goryeo, and only allowed them to trade on Jeju Island in the southwest waters of Goryeo.

Trade between the two sides can continue, but it must be transferred to Jeju Island as a transit station. Japanese merchants are not allowed to enter the country in Goryeo.

In fact, from an economic perspective, this matter has not had a big impact. As long as the commerce and trade can continue, it is nothing more than a change in the trade route, and I will get used to it after a while.

However, Hu Wei, who was in charge of Goryeo, did not allow Japanese merchant ships to arrive at the Goryeo mainland, aroused the attention and concern of Abiliu Guozhong. He suspected that the Ming Dynasty, who ruled Goryeo, might have some dissatisfaction with Japan, so he reported the matter to Hei Kiyomori.

After learning about this, Ping Qingsheng did not pay much attention to it. He thought it was no big deal and asked Abiliu Guozhong to maintain the situation and not have conflicts with Ming, and then he ignored it.

Ping Qingsheng didn't care, and Abiliu Guozhong thought about it and could only stop exploring it. He just ordered his subordinates to find out the specific news while doing business on Jeju Island.

But this idea has not worked anyway.

The Goryeo merchants who had some connection with them had already been able to help a considerable part of Tsushima Island during the Ming army's attack on Goryeo. The rest were either dead or there was no news, and there was a high probability that they would die.

Only one or two people alive were still engaged in maritime trade, and they were not businessmen, but translators and guides familiar with the roads, providing services to Mingguo merchants who came to Jeju Island to trade.

Those who do business with Tsushima Island merchants are no longer local merchants in Goryeo, but Ming Dynasty merchants.

However, afterwards, the trade between the Madao merchants and the Ming Dynasty merchants was quite good, and the trade results were not small. After making a lot of money, Abiliu Guozhong gradually became addicted to successful trade.

After Ming Dynasty controlled the Tsushima Island trade, the goods imported to Tsushima Island increased and the quality improved. Ming Dynasty merchants were honest and trustworthy, paid attention to morality, and pursued long-term development of business, so they had a good relationship with Tsushima Island merchants.

In response to this, Abiliu Guozhong's concerns and guard against Ming Dynasty gradually disappeared.

It was not until mid-March of the Republic of China, 2017, that a caravan returning from Jeju Island reported the results of the transaction to him, and they said it was said that they saw many large sea boats crossing Jeju Island and heading towards the Goryeo local direction.

It looks a bit like a warship, with a large ship, which is as large as they have never seen before, with a number of about thirty ships.

Abiliu Guozhong didn't care about this. He was planning to further promote trade with Ming, and was thinking of inviting some Ming merchants to visit Tsushima Island to determine more and larger trade orders.

But his son Abiliu Cathay has some ideas about this.
