In the official name of the Fusang Affairs Yamen of the Tang Dynasty, it signed transportation agreements with more than a dozen large trading companies that traded to and from Fusang all year round.

The reason why it is not another organization, and it is not directly for the company to directly organize the repatriation of Fuso women, is to avoid a lot of trouble.

First of all, the purpose of the establishment of the Fusang affairs yamen in the Tang Empire is to deal with Fusang affairs in a unified manner, after all, Fusang is too far away from Jinling City, the capital of the empire, if anything needs to be reported, this back and forth is casually a few months, much slower than the northwest to the capital Jinling City.

Because in China, there is a perfect post station system, the three-hundred-mile expedited is already very perfect, and the scale of the postal department is quite large, enough to undertake the rapid transmission of information, and the delivery of the message is relatively fast under the three-hundred-mile expedited.

The transmission of information in overseas areas mainly relies on ships, even if the Tang Dynasty has a special fast communication ship, using the flying clipper type and the new vertical and horizontal hard sails, but the speed is still not fast.

Based on the slow transmission of information, the Tang Empire adopted a model of dispatching special officials to the nearest and direct handling of overseas territories and colonies.

For example, in Luzon and Banten, the prefects of these two overseas territories have far more authority than the domestic prefects, and to some extent, these two prefects are actually local governors, except for not being able to mobilize troops and collect taxes, other powers, especially for the local and surrounding natives.

Originally, the prefect of the Ryukyu Prefecture also had similar powers, but after the establishment of Osumi Prefecture, the authority of the prefect of the Ryukyu Prefecture was weakened.

There is this yamen, so the empire should let this yamen handle the affairs of Fusang, and this matter of transporting Fusang women back to China will naturally be handled by the Yamen of Fuso affairs.

However, the Fuso Affairs Yamen did not have any ships, so they could only sign agreements with private trading companies and charter their ships for transportation.

After the empire decided on the supreme policy towards Fuso, it was this yamen that implemented the specific policy, and the marriage policy was one of them, and the more urgent thing was not this, but military adjustment.

After Xia Wuyan convened his staff to discuss, he formulated a preliminary plan, first of all, to coordinate with the military to help the military complete the deployment of troops stationed in Fuso, and at the same time to seek to expand the scale of each colony.

In particular, there is a need to further improve the military power in Gyeonggi, which has been the source of the recent turmoil in Fuso, and the Tang colonies in Gyeonggi are located in Osaka and Kobe, which are very important areas.

Among them, Osaka can be said to be a transportation artery, whether it is Oda Nobunaga, the Imagawa family before it, or some powerful daimyo emerging from the central region in the future, if you want to enter the Gyeonggi region and even the western part of Honshu Island, you need to pass through Osaka.

This place is so important, the Tang military naturally knows that in the early years, it reached a deal with the actual controller of the Osaka area, that is, the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and purchased a piece of land located on the southern coast of Osaka City with ordnance support and capital purchase to build a commercial management and port, and at the same time stationed 300 soldiers to protect security.

The area of this purchased land is actually not large, only 18 square kilometers at full capacity, and most of it is coastal areas, and with the current technical conditions, it is actually relatively difficult to develop.

However, because of its great importance, it has become one of the most important colonies of the Tang Empire in the Fusang Islands, where the Osaka Squadron and 300 soldiers are stationed, and it is also the most important commercial center of the Tang Empire in the central and western regions of Fuso.

This place is so important, the Tang Empire naturally will not take it lightly, especially after learning that Oda Nobunaga is preparing to invade Gyeonggi on a large scale, and may even take action against Ishiyama Honganji Temple in Osaka, it is even more important to strengthen the defense of this place as a top priority.

In order to ensure the Tang Empire's control and deterrence of the Gyeonggi region of Fuso.

The Gyeonggi region of Fuso, which is actually Kyoto and the surrounding area where the emperor lived, is located in the central and western part of Fuso's main island of Honshu, and is also known as the Gyeonggi region.

Previously, the Kanegawa family, the most powerful daimyo in central Fuso, relied on the power of the three kingdoms of Suruga, Enoe, and Mikawa, which were directly under their rule, and indirectly influenced many regions in central Fuso, and also had a strong influence in the region.

However, the actual controller of the region is the Miyoshi family, a few years ago, the Sanyoshi family developed quite fiercely, and its strength once controlled most of the economic areas and the Shikoku region, and this situation was naturally unwilling to be seen by the Tang Empire.

So at that time, the Tang Empire supported many daimyo and the Miyoshi family in Gyeonggi to fight to the death, and now in the fifteenth year of Xuanping, although the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family is still huge, but it is still limited, Hanoi and Yamato, under the support of the Tang Empire, the strength is not small, and the Miyoshi family has been fighting for many years, and it has not been divided into winners and losers.

This summer, the Kanegawa family was beaten down by Oda Nobunaga, and after the defeat of the Imagawa family, they could only retreat within the scope of the Three Kingdoms of Suruga, and at the same time faced the rebellion of the two major retainers, the Matsudaira family and the Takeda family, they were already too busy to take care of themselves, and they were unable to control the Gyeonggi region at all.

Therefore, the Gyeonggi region is actually in chaos today, the power of the Imagawa family is weakened, Oda Nobunaga is rising, the Miyoshi family is still strong, and the daimyo such as Hanoi and Yamato are not rookies.

This kind of chaos is exactly what the Tang Empire needs!

But now, Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the situation to rise, and the performance was quite scary, many Gyeonggi local daimyo are afraid, if the Tang Empire does not interfere in this situation, then according to Oda Nobunaga's development drive, sooner or later will take the Gyeonggi region.

And in this situation, the Tang Empire has also begun to move!

Therefore, at this time, Oda Nobunaga had already begun to preach slogans such as unifying Fuso, and all the daimyo who wanted to unify Fuso were enemies of the Tang Empire.

Previously, the Tang Empire had been holding back and supporting other daimyo to suppress the more powerful daimyo such as the Imagawa family and the Miyoshi family, because the Imagawa family, the Miyoshi family and other daimyo were powerful and wanted to expand on a large scale.

Now, Oda Nobunaga wants to annex other daimyo and then unify Fuso, and the target of the Tang Empire is naturally quickly changed to Oda Nobunaga.

Xia Wuyan stayed in Osumi Prefecture all the year round, and even personally visited the Fusang Islands several times to inspect the colonies, so he had a good understanding of the situation in the Fusang Islands.

Therefore, after receiving the order from the empire itself, he first coordinated the military to expand the military presence in Gyeonggi, the original 300 garrisons were far from enough, and he believed that the military needed to deploy at least 1,000 troops or even more troops in this area to be able to safeguard the interests of the empire when necessary.

At the same time, he also suggested that the navy should increase its naval forces in the Osaka area to maintain supply lines, protect shipping lanes, and deter the surrounding daimyo by force.

You must know that the Tang Empire has been doing things in Fusang in recent years, in fact, many Fusang daimyo are well aware, even some daimyo who have a good relationship with the Tang Empire actually have no good impression of the Tang Empire.

thought that the Tang Empire was doing things in Fusang, basically seeing that the big name was powerful, the Tang Dynasty would suppress whom!

Although it is said that he has never done it himself, but the sale of ordnance for commercial cooperation and the provision of funds can also affect the direction of the war, otherwise why do you think Yamato and Hanoi have not been annexed by the Miyoshi family, you must know that the strength of the Miyoshi family is far beyond these two, and it is really necessary to compete fairly, and the Miyoshi family can take them down in minutes.

However, the Tang Empire paid money and guns behind the scenes, and controlled the arms sales to the Sanhao family at the critical moment, but the Sanhao family was stunned that the two countries could not defeat the above two countries, and there was such a stalemate.

The Tang Empire acts like this, and the Daimyo of Fusang are not fools, so they can naturally see some doorways, so there are actually few Fusang Daimyo who really like the Tang Empire.

However, like it or not, this does not prevent them from wanting to hug the thighs of the Tang Empire!

The reason why Oda Nobunaga was able to defeat the Imagawa family in one fell swoop was of course due to Oda Nobunaga's own ability, but it was related to the fact that the Tang Empire sold them a full 5,000 arquebuses and more than a dozen shotguns at one time, and at the same time restricted the supply of weapons to the Imagawa family.

Hugging the thighs of the Tang Empire, even if you can't annex other forces, but self-preservation is usually not a big problem, Yamato and Hanoi are typical examples, with the Tang Empire behind them, the Miyoshi family has no way to take them, the Imagawa family has no way to take them, and Oda Nobunaga in the future is estimated to have a headache for their existence.

In order to speed up the implementation of the Fuso policy and to be vigilant against major changes in the Gyeonggi region, the 1,000 marines who had been stationed in Osumi Prefecture were quickly ordered to take a ship to Osaka to strengthen the local defense, and at the same time take the initiative to intervene in the local situation when necessary.

There is still only one principle of interference, and that is not to allow any side to unify Gyeonggi!

Whoever dares to take the lead, the Tang Empire will fight whom!

In addition to strengthening the garrison in Osaka, the Tang Empire is also preparing to strengthen its forces in several major colonies such as Kobe and Edo, but now the domestic reinforcements have not yet arrived, so they can only plan first, and there will be no large-scale military operations for a while.

However, the joint venture policy has officially kicked off, and the scale is very large from the beginning!
