Chapter 883: Provocation and Excuses
Hong Hongxiu's words made Hong Tianpao sweat profusely, he finally knew what he was worried about, compared to the Japanese population surpassing the Han population, losing the trust of the Huaxia Kingdom is really the sky falling.
The hatred between the Huaxia Kingdom and their Hong family is very deep, he has been hiding in his heart, defeating his father, destroying the Lu Kingdom, letting the Lu Kingdom go away to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then provoking the war between the Lu Kingdom and Japan, and finally using the mood of their princes to compete for the throne, subverting the Lu State, the naval battle killed his boss, the eldest prince Hong Shiming, and destroyed the power of the second child, and now the Huaxia Kingdom uses the Japanese population to make them sit on a volcano.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is not the Qing Dynasty, there are not so many traitors who are desperate to help them, the Japanese don't look at themselves and are happy, but when it comes to the final extermination, they are very united, and no daimyo general has clearly stated that he wants to take refuge in the Ryukyu Kingdom or the Huaxia Kingdom, even if it is now finally coming to an end, they will fight to the end.
Hong Tianpao has never seen such a die-hard kingdom and nation, if it was the Ming Dynasty, even if it was the Qing Dynasty, countless people would have taken refuge in their opponents by now, in order to keep their glory and wealth, at least to save their lives, they would not hesitate to sell anything, even their fathers, wives and children.
"Second brother, there is no one on my side, and I can't leave, you go to Jinling Mansion and help me talk to Zhang Qiang, the king of the Huaxia Kingdom, I hope he can raise his noble hand and let us go, we will listen to him in the future, I will go to arrange the battle in Hokkaido, and when Hokkaido is taken, let the Huaxia Army take over."
"Okay, for the sake of our Hong family's world, I'll go on a trip and trouble Brother Wang to take care of my family for me." Hong Hongxiu stood up and slapped his robe, arching his hand to Hong Tian.
"Go ahead, even if our relationship is very delicate now, with Zhang Qiang's personality, he will definitely not do anything to you," Hong Tianpao still knew Zhang Qiang, so he enlightened Hong Hongxiu, who was going to the Huaxia Kingdom.
Sending Hong Hongxiu away, Hong Tiancang found a few Han generals, arranged a task overnight, and ordered the sailor to transport 20,000 Han soldiers to the battlefield overnight, one of these soldiers is to control the team of where, and the other is the town, the island is full of Japanese and Southeast Asian indigenous soldiers, several Han officers, he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress so many Japanese servant soldiers, Southeast Asian indigenous soldiers are not used, if those as many as 200,000 Japanese servant soldiers turn against the water, I am afraid that the Southeast Asian servant soldiers will only be slaughtered.
Until now, I heard that the shogun had not yet evacuated, and those Japanese servant soldiers were former Japanese prisoners, and if he shouted in front of the battle, then it was likely that he would have to turn back, then his 200,000 Japanese servant army would be meat buns and dogs, and he would never go back, but instead sent the Japanese supplies and guns that were in short supply, which was really a big loss.
After arranging for the Han soldiers to go on the expedition, he summoned hundreds of civil and military officials overnight, ordered the formation of a Han militia team, reorganized the militia ranks, and then dispersed the Japanese servant soldiers in the garrison brigade who had been upgraded to the common people, filled in the Han militia and soldiers, and reorganized them, and the work took several days to carry out and take two or three months to complete.
I hope that the second brother will get back some Han people from China, or Han soldiers, even if it is Manchu and Mongolian soldiers and people, it will always be closer than the Japanese, because his father used to be the Shangshu of the Qing Dynasty, the prince Shaobao, Shaobo, and once served as the governor of the five provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Tianpao himself once served as the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, a county master, and also served as the fifth-class guard of the palace.
After doing this, he didn't know what to do, so he could only wait patiently.
It took Hong Hongxiu three days to reach the Jinling port from the main island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and after landing ashore, they found an inn to stay in, and then posted through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting to meet Zhang Qiang, the king of the Huaxia Kingdom.
I waited three days before I was interviewed.
At the same time, Zhou Congee and Xuanyuan Longfei met him, in fact, the three of them were discussing the integration of the garrison, and in the middle of the break, Zhang Qiang temporarily summoned Hong Hongxiu.
"What do you have to say about the second prince here today?" Zhang Qiang looked at the second prince who was sitting precariously and asked.
"Oh, I don't dare to be a teacher, my subordinates are defeated, don't mention anything, this time the contemptible people are here to represent the Ryukyu Kingdom My royal brother His Royal Highness Hong Tianpao, I want to ask Your Majesty for some people." Hong Hongxiu did not directly say that he wanted to return Hokkaido Island, but first mentioned asking for the population.
"Do you lack the population?"
"I've heard that the population of your kingdom is four million, and your country is so small, and you don't have much land to cultivate, so you can feed that many people?"
Zhang Qiang looked at Hong Hongxiu suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, the war has reduced the Han Chinese population of the Ryukyu Kingdom from more than one million to hundreds of thousands, and if we don't immigrate a few more people, we will be the second Japan, does Your Majesty want to see the Japanese become the majority of the population of the Ryukyu Kingdom? After a hundred years, if there is a character among the Japanese, then the Ryukyu Kingdom will instantly become another Japan, Your Majesty, the trouble of the Huaxia Kingdom is obviously greater than ours. ”
Hong Hongxiu completely looks like he is convinced of you, and he doesn't have the humble attitude he taught Hong Tianpao at all.
Xuanyuan Longfei stood up and slapped the table, "Hong Hongxiu, are you threatening our Huaxia Kingdom and Your Majesty?" ”
Hong Hongxiu arched his hand towards Zhang Qiang, "Your Majesty, you don't dare to be lowly, but I believe that Your Majesty knows that what you say is the truth." ”
Zhang Qiang didn't speak, Zhou Congee spoke first, "I think you are a very smart person, we just conquered Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi Prefectures, there are many soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Manchus are not easy to deal with, you are asking us for them, aren't you?" ”
Hong Hongxiu said: "Prime Minister Zhou, what you said is the truth, but only half of it is right, what we want is the Han people or the population on the mainland, not all Manchus, even if they are Manchus, in addition to killing them, where else can you settle them?" Is it like the Japanese to wipe out? Most of those people are actually of our Han blood, so you can bear to do this? ”
Zhang Qiang looked at a jade lion paperweight, reached out to pick it up, felt the coldness of the jade, cleared his mind, and said leisurely: "Why not?" I will erase all people and nations who can pose a threat to the Chinese nation from this world, including you Han people with different intentions. ”
Hong Hongxiu trembled, he was scared, but the kind of city he had cultivated since he was a child made him quickly calm down, "Your Majesty, you need a few dogs to solve some things for you that you don't want to get your hands on, what they want is to have a place to build a kennel." ”
Zhang Qiang glanced at him, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll give you as much population as you need, but you have to pay for it, do you pay for the starting price?" Zhang Qiang said coldly.
Hong Hongxiu said: "The Ryukyu Kingdom has a population of two million, I have a population of one million, I still need some warships and warships here, you don't need to worry about manpower, I will look at Zheng Zhi for Your Majesty." ”
"Okay, there are still some places in Australia that have not been developed, you go to the south, oh, there is an island in front of Australia a few hundred nautical miles to the east, called New Zealand, where can you develop."
"Your Majesty, I still have some savings, the ships and the population are in place, I will have someone send them to Your Majesty, three months."
