In January, the third prince finally got his wish and successfully captured the main island of Lu and collected more than 100,000 Han people from the original island.

Sitting on the throne where his son had sat again, he was excited, overjoyed, and cried loudly, and then received the worship of the ministers, and officially became the king of the Lu Kingdom, no, the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he had changed his name to the Ryukyu Kingdom on Amami Island.

After the full occupation, the redeployment and distribution of troops began, with 50,000 troops stationed on the main island, of which 10,000 were naval troops, Amami Island garrisoned 40,000 troops, of which 5,000 were naval troops, and the other large islands garrisoned 3,000 to 5,000 troops each, and other small island garrisons ranged from 1,000 to about 10 troops.

The total strength is 130,000.

Resumption of land reclamation, resumption of fishing operations, supply of grain to the Ryukyu Kingdom, at this moment the Ryukyu Kingdom is still dependent on the supply of the Chinese Kingdom, their population has reached 500,000 Han Chinese, 300,000 Japanese, and 50,000 militia servants, 100,000 indigenous people in Southeast Asia, 30,000 indigenous people in Nanyang, a total population of 980,000 people, if you add 130,000 troops, it is a population of more than one million.

Their arable land could only supply 300,000 people, and arming the fishermen with captured fishing boats and fishing boats supplied by the Kingdom of China could only solve the work and food of 100,000 people.

The entire Ryukyu Kingdom is in ruins, many places are still in ruins, the third prince had to mobilize troops to carry out the construction of the people's houses and the soldiers' barracks with the people, the only thing that was not affected in this battle was the Chinese merchant hall and the naval wharf and the naval barracks of the Chinese kingdom, where from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle has been garrisoned by 3,000 naval divisions and 3,000 marines, no matter how fierce the battle is, the eldest prince does not dare to move.

Even buildings can't dilute more people, there are still about half a million people waiting for a way out, although there is still food supply from the Huaxia Kingdom, but it is not for nothing.

The Ryukyu Kingdom needs to be repaid with money, so Hong Tianpao had to meet with Xue Hong, a diplomat stationed here by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Xue Hong used to be a militiaman, and later studied and was admitted to the new official training course, after three years of training, two years of land reclamation, from a clerk to a clerk, and from a clerk through several levels of promotion to a petty official from the nine grades, stayed in the county advisory bureau for three months, after the battle began, he was sent to Lu to serve as the head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

But they were not assigned to Qian Bingrup, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time, and there was also a Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yamen in the center of Jinling, and there was no Ministry of Foreign Affairs in other places at all.

A few months after Gu Yuesheng took over, Zhang Qiang assigned these departments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the liaison departments stationed abroad were all Zhonghua Commercial Pavilions, and the owners of the Zhonghua Commercial Pavilions were Jiupin officials, and Xue Hong was the owner of the first batch of Chinese Commercial Pavilions, and he was also the first batch of subordinates directly under Gu Yuesheng to be stationed abroad.

In the past few years, Xue Hong has been staying in the Chinese Merchant House like an unemployed shopkeeper, there is no shortage of food, but nothing can be done, the sailors of the Huaxia Kingdom have been ordered not to participate in the war between the two sides, and everything is to guard the merchant hall of the Huaxia Kingdom and protect the people of the Huaxia Kingdom.

As the battle progressed, he was sent out to collect the merchants and their guards and family members of the merchant ships of the Huaxia Kingdom scattered all over the place, and then handed these people over to the sailors to take away, his role was actually like this, not to say that it was to undertake the task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to contact the warring parties, and later was classified as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he received the appointment to have real power, but in fact, he had nothing to do here, the kingdom ordered not to meddle in the battle between the two sides, he could only stay in the merchant hall, even if the third prince was victorious, There are some things that he can't do.

After receiving the invitation of the third prince, Xue Hong actually knew for a long time, it was originally the Ministry of Military Intelligence that was in direct contact with the third prince, and all affairs were handled by the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and later as the war stopped, Zhang Qiang ordered the Ministry of Military Intelligence to do his own business, and handed over the liaison and diplomatic matters to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also let Gu Yuesheng, who had nothing to do for a long time, have a job to do, and the Ministry of Military Intelligence sent a military attache to serve as Xue Hong's assistant, and at the same time protect his safety, and at the same time transferred a hundred soldiers from the Marine Corps to protect the China Commercial Hall, A military general from the General Staff was sent to serve as his second military attaché, responsible for the security of the merchant house.

The personnel who arrived from the Military Intelligence Department explained to him his future work and placed the letter of appointment on his desk, telling him that he would be responsible for dealing with the Ryukyu Kingdom in the future, and that he could transfer all matters to the Yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Military Attaché, who would also be under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Intelligence Department, and the military generals who protected him would be under his direct leadership.

Xue Hong opened the letter that Gu Yuesheng gave him, and the first thing was to tell him to let him contact the third prince Hongtian Cannon to highlight the existence of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the second thing was to let him fool the third prince to continue to send troops to Japan, and the Huaxia Kingdom hired him to attack Japan in order to consume the strength of the third prince.

In addition to his current strength, he had 10,000 militia and 5,000 regular troops on the island of Shikoku to help defend the defensive line where they had landed in Kagawa and Kochi.

Gu Yuesheng told him that the Ministry of Defense meant not to let them be idle as much as possible, and let them send troops to choose to join the Huaxia Kingdom in the battle against the Japanese.

Let his garrison of 15,000 troops advance forward to help Prime Minister Yan resist the enemy's attack, although there is Zhao Hui in chief to command the battle, but the enemy in the remaining county is still very tenacious, they still have a population of 500,000, 100,000 troops, this is the strength of the second prince.

The Japanese increased the number of troops by 500,000 in the area where the second prince was located, and now Zhao Hui is fighting very hard, these troops are the troops of Xinlu Mansion, and the strength of Shiguo Mansion has not been fully cultivated, Xinlu Mansion is already considered the sphere of influence of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the Huaxia Kingdom does not want to consume here, so let the second prince send troops to attack the Japanese again, this time choosing Hokkaido Island.

But Shikoku Island also needs troops to give time for the troops on Shikoku Island to grow.

Prime Minister Yan now has his own army of 2,000 soldiers, the Han recruited 10,000 troops, and the other militias, mainly based on the indigenous forces of Southeast Asia, supplemented by 100,000 troops of the Japanese people.

The Huaxia Army can still invest more troops to drive the Japanese into the sea, but Zhang Qiang doesn't want the Huaxia Army to go to sea and suffer losses, and Xinlu Mansion doesn't want them to lose, he thought of the third prince Hongtian Cannon, and wanted to see if he could be obedient, if not, Zhang Qiang didn't mind letting the First Fleet come to besiege the island with a thousand ships for the second time.

Let's scrub the floor.
