Chapter 13: The Fanatics

At this time, what does the island of Kyushu look like?

Barrels of whale oil, boxes of gold and silver were shipped out of Kyushu Island and transported to Liaodong; Boatloads of grain and linen were transported from Liaodong to Kyushu Island. Now, even mining sinners can be fed.

In Kyushu City, Zheng He built several temples of the god of thunder, which were claimed to be shrines. There is an endless stream of people who come to worship and pray every day.

Zheng He's rule over Kyushu Island was both loose and relaxed, and he did not exhaust himself to fish. Farmers, miners, and craftsmen were allowed to take one day off for every five days they worked, just like in the Han Dynasty. Every holiday, the shrine is overcrowded. Zheng He had no choice but to ask the Japanese to offer a sculpture of the image of the god of thunder in their homes and bow down at home.

It is often heard, "Thank God for giving me clothing; Thank God for giving me food" prayer voice.

Now, even mining sinners have become fanatical believers in Thor.

Any fanatic believer in the world who has faith can be called a dead man...... They are true warriors who can ignore death and be absolutely fearless for the glory of God.

At the thought of those widows in sackcloth clothes lining up to fight on the battlefield and eventually die for the glory of God, Zheng He's heart continued to tremble, some excited, some sad, and a little expectant. He built it all with his own hands.

The Eight Banners Army has been established, with 3,000 men, and they train hard every day. Every day they chanted the slogan: "Fight for the glory of God!" "Zheng He was very kind to them, and he could eat fish and whale offal every day. Their physical fitness has also improved quickly, and they can run up to 20 miles back and forth every day to keep the team neat and tidy, and no one will be left behind.

Some Japanese people also spontaneously went to Shikoku Island and the main island to promote the glory of God. There are also many Japanese people from Shikoku Island and Main Island who come to Kyushu Island to join and pray for the god of thunder to come down to their hometown. Zheng He gathered all the defectors, assigned them jobs, and assigned them houses to live in, so that they could also enjoy the glory of God.

Zheng He sent the situation on the island to Gongsun Kang at a fixed time every month. However, Gongsun Kang was not moved, and he had no intention of attacking Shikoku Island and the main island. Because Liaodong can't afford a million people on these two islands.

If you just use them as slaves and exploit them to death, it is easier to do; But Gongsun Kang saw a better way.

The Japanese people like to create gods, and there are tens of thousands of gods in later generations. Now there are hundreds of imaginary gods on the islands of Shikoku and the main island, including Amaterasu; But there is only one god on the island of Kyushu: Thor!

Gongsun Kang wants to create a group of fanatical believers and conquer the whole of East Asia for him!

Gongsun Kang gave the first order to the Japanese people: they were required to learn to speak Chinese. The 2,000 heavenly soldiers produced by the system are not only the leaders of the Japanese people, but also their mentors. Every day, when he led them to work, train and rest, he kept teaching them to learn to speak Chinese.

When the Japanese heard God's instructions, they became enthusiastic about learning Chinese. In order to be able to understand the language of God as soon as possible, many Japanese people practiced Chinese in their sleep, and the words they spoke in their dreams were all Chinese.

Seeing the huge benefits of whale catching, Gongsun Kang asked the military and civilians of the four cities of Seoul, Taean, Gwangju, and Jeju Island to also start hunting whales and refining essential oils. He wanted to train a navy that could adapt to and understand the sea through fishing, and at the same time consume Samhan's endless forests.

More and more Qingzhou refugees were resettled in the three cities of Seoul, Taean, and Gwangju, and more young people were called up as Tuntian soldiers. Large swathes of forest were cut down, and the trunks of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old trees were preserved in the shade, and after three years of drying, they could be used for shipbuilding. The remaining branches and leaves are dried and burned to make whale oil.

Patches of bare and felled woods, tree stumps dug out, and the land ploughed by curved ploughs, the following year is a fertile field of crops. Gongsun Kang asked Sanhan to breed a large number of cultivated cattle, and in the future, Korean beef will not have such a high price, right? Gongsun Kang thought maliciously.

The soldiers and civilians of Liaodong did not rush from the sea to the interior of Samhan. Without the shelter of the primeval forest, the Sanhan natives are just little girls who have been stripped of their clothes, and they can only let the Han people do whatever they want. One by one, the Samhan tribes either moved to the deeper forests, or were captured or killed by the Liaodong military and civilians.

Gongsun Kang expects it will take five years to cut down all the forests in Samhan.

"After we have captured all the natives of Samhan, we can just plant trees again. As long as the windbreak is left and the berm forest is not cut down, it is fine. Gongsun Kang said to his subordinates.

He did not send a large army to attack Sanhan directly, because he paid the least price for cicada eating in this way, and he could train his troops and train the Tuntian soldiers composed of Qingzhou refugees into an iron army. In the process of fighting against the Sanhan natives, it can better unite the Qingzhou refugees and have a greater sense of identity with Liaodong and the Liaodong army.

As for turning the Sanhan natives into fanatics, Gongsun Kang doesn't have this idea yet. After all, there are not many people as strange as the Japanese people.
