Before the success of penicillin research, flower willow disease is definitely a world-class problem, which is simply an incurable disease, and legend has it that the Tongzhi Emperor who died last year died of flower willow disease.

Even the emperor could not escape the poisonous hands, ordinary people were simply powerless to resist, and once they were infected with flower willow disease, there was no other way but to wait for death.

The prostitution industry has always been a high-risk area for willow disease, and there is no medical examination system in these days, customers will not check any health certificates before trading, and there is no Durex for sale in the store, so the prevention of willow disease mainly depends on luck.

Although the Junma Group has a biological laboratory, and the biological laboratory has also carried out penicillin-related research, there has been no progress in the research so far, so Bai Qi is very worried that there will be non-combat attrition due to some force majeure factors.

That's more than worth the loss.

Obviously, Hunter is also talking about the flower willow disease, after listening to Bai Qi's words, Hunt is obviously a little hesitant, and then looking at the eyes of these women, it is like looking at the money that accidentally fell into the dung pit when going to the toilet.

"I made all the meat, and divided a part of the wine for the brothers who went to work to keep it, and I could not drink it until they got off the post." Bai Qi did not forget to be vigilant when arranging dinner, after all, he was in a war zone, and a small negligence could cause serious consequences, as a veteran, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

"Hunter, bear with me, I'll find you a clean bunch in a few days." It was Cole who came out to relieve Hunter's siege.

"Ah, thank you so much," Hunter immediately abandoned.

Relatively speaking, there are still many ways for Cole to be the head snake of half the land, after all, this is the Far East, and there is a country that relies on organizing and selling spring to enhance its national strength, so it is not troublesome to solve this problem.

The food in the army is still relatively simple, and there is no need to pay attention to what to eat, as long as you can cook the rice.

The meat that Yangwei sent to Bai Qi was chicken and pork, all the chicken was stewed, and the pork was made into barbecue, each piece of meat was half the size of a fist, and the surface was roasted to a golden brown, and it was bubbling with oil, and the taste was very good.

Most of the gunmen are cowboys, and these cowboys are actually all-rounders, and they are good at making barbecue, so this dinner can be called colorful, flavorful, and delicious.

After dinner, Cole and Bai Qi talked about their future work arrangements.

"In the future, our immigration transit station will be located on the main island of Ryukyu, so first of all, we must build two camps that can accommodate 10,000 people, and at the same time, we must also build a material warehouse, and the camp will also be equipped with doctors, nutritionists, language teachers, etc., you don't have to worry about the problem of manpower, your task is to build the camp, fortunately, there are enough manpower in the Ryukyus, and the problem in this area should not be big." Cole's main job is immigration, so he doesn't leave the line of work.

Regarding this immigration, in fact, Li Mu has other arrangements.

At present, there are about 300,000 people in Ryukyu, and Li Mu's original intention is to get these more than 300,000 people to Southeast Asia, or to the United States, and then move the Chinese from the Qing Empire to Ryukyu to complete the population replacement.

After all this is completed, Ryukyu will be the second Hawaii, whether it is under the control of the United States or the Qing Dynasty, after all, it will expand the living space for Huaren.

In the next few years, Li Mu plans to promote this method.

There are many islands in the Pacific Ocean, most of which are very suitable for human habitation, but there are not many people on the islands right now.

For example, Guam, the southernmost tip of the Mariana Islands, has a land area of more than 500 square kilometers, and there are only 100,000 people until the 21st century, and this year is at most more than 10,000 people, and even less than 10,000 people.

And once the population replacement is successfully completed, the benefits in the future are innumerable.

Where there are people, there are disputes, and to put it mildly, the contention is for personal economic interests, and the contention is for social status, which magnifies the contention for living space.

The 19th century was the last chance to divide the sphere of influence, and Li Mu himself would not forgive himself if he did not seize the opportunity now.

"No problem, give me half a year, and I will definitely be able to build the camp." Bai Qi patted his chest and packed the ticket with Cole.

Talking about living space with people like Bai Qi is equivalent to playing the piano to the cow, Bai Qi will not think about such a profound question, and the biggest advantage is that there is no resistance to Li Mu's order, as long as it is something that Li Mu decides, Bai Qi will implement it to the letter.

"You can also mobilize the Ryukyuan people, you know, the Japanese suffered a loss this time, and they will definitely not give up, and when they come back again, they will not be so warm, and when the time comes, you will have to see the real chapter on the battlefield, you have to be mentally prepared." Cole has a lot to worry about.

Cole's worries are not groundless, now the Ryukyu King Shotai is still missing, even including the entire Ryukyu royal family, they are likely to have been plundered by the Japanese to the Japanese mainland, although Bai Qi is preparing to make a puppet to think that the Ryukyu King, but after all, Shotai is the real Ryukyu King, and the Japanese will definitely make a big fuss with this.

"It's okay, let them come..."Bai Qi really didn't worry about this.

To tell the truth, Bai Qi wishes to fight with the Japanese now, even if it is a loss, it doesn't matter.

Although nominally Bai Qi came to the Ryukyus in his personal name, in fact, the U.S. War Department must have paid attention to Bai Qi's every move, and Bai Qi hoped that the value of the Army could not be replaced by the Navy, and it was the only thing Bai Qi could do to help Will now.

At dawn the next day, Pan Tingzhen came to his hands from Putian.

At this time, Shuri Castle had basically returned to calm, and the scattered royal castle legions were searched out by the militia group from house to house, and then they were concentrated in the barracks, waiting for them to be further screened, most of them would join the new royal castle guards, and a few would be used for other purposes.

In the Shuri Palace, Pan Tingzhen finally saw Lin Shigong, who had reformed his ways.

This was also the first time that Shiraki came to the legendary Ryukyu Kingdom.

Before entering the castle, Bai Qi still had expectations for the Ryukyu Imperial Palace, but at first glance, he was disappointed, the entire royal palace can be described as low and dilapidated, it is simply lackluster, and the integrity of the buildings is even inferior to that of Governor's Island.

Losing interest in visiting the royal palace, Bai Qi had to focus on the enthronement ceremony that was being held in the main hall.

It's really an enthronement ceremony, Lin Shigong was busy all night last night, and he didn't know where to find a two-year-old child, and swore that this was the only surviving descendant of the Ryukyu royal family, so this little kid named Shangxi would become the new king of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

"Where did you find the kid?" Bai Qi was quite curious when he saw Shang Xi.

Judging from the name, this Shangxi is indeed the same surname as the Ryukyu royal family, but Bai Qi has every reason to suspect that this child is definitely not a descendant of the royal family, and he can't even hit the eight poles, maybe Lin Shigong picked it up from the side of the road.

"What do you care... Who cares..."Lin Shigong has already broken the jar, since he has decided to be a traitor to the Ryukyu Kingdom, then he should be thorough.

In fact, he is not a traitor, for the Ryukyu royal family, what Lin Shigong is doing now is of course a traitor, but it may not be for the entire Ryukyu Kingdom, at least after such a toss, the status of Chinese in the Ryukyu Kingdom will rise sharply.

Don't look at Lin Shigong who will commit suicide for the Ryukyu Kingdom in another time and space, but when the interests of the family and the interests of the country conflict, Lin Shigong still habitually stands on the side of the family.

This is the disadvantage of the family system, the royal power does not go to the countryside, the king's influence on the individual is not as good as the patriarchal growth, Lin Shigong will commit suicide at another time, because Lin Shigong's family was also destroyed with the Ryukyu Kingdom, and now the situation is completely different, although the Ryukyu Kingdom no longer exists, but Lin Shigong's family is still there.

For the sake of his family, Lin Shigong will also endure humiliation.

"Good job, I found that your talent in politics is innate, and others can't learn it, at least I can't." Bai Qi is ashamed of himself in this regard.

Lin Shigong didn't pay attention to Bai Qi, and his contemptuous little eyes already said everything.

The two-year-old Shang Xi howled twice when he was carried to the king's throne, and was bought by a sugar gourd in a blink of an eye, and the biggest variable in the entire enthronement ceremony disappeared invisibly.

Then it was the time to reward meritorious deeds, Lin Shigong was very stinky and shameless to give himself a left minister, and then Pan Tingzhen was named a right minister, and Bai Qi was named a general, and he was the commander-in-chief of the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.

After the edict was announced, with Lin Shigong's "salute", the Ryukyu Kingdom officially entered the Shangxi era.

In his second edict after his accession to the throne, he decided to give the island to the Shoma Group in perpetuity, and at the same time to lease Naha, the largest port city on the main island of the Ryukyus, to the Shoma Group for 99 years.

For this purpose, the Tsuyama Group is to pay the Ryukyu Kingdom one million dollars a year.

This was also the largest income of the Ryukyu Kingdom since its founding, and the first income of the Shoki period.

Originally, according to Pan Tingzhen's meaning, he didn't want a penny, or he could get it with the meaning of 180,000 yuan, but the current Ryukyu Kingdom was poor and had nothing, and he couldn't even afford the salaries of the left and right ministers, so Pan Tingzhen could only accept this money with a shameful face as the start-up capital of the Ryukyu government.

In fact, not all of this money was given in cash, most of it was to be converted into materials, and a large part of it was converted into construction materials to build the camp of 10,000 people that Kohl wanted.

The news of Shangxi's ascension to the throne reached Japan on the same day, and the next day it reached the Qing Empire.

The Japanese reacted violently, saying that they did not recognize Naoki's status as king at all, and at the same time said that they would seek justice for the former king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Natsuya.

The Qing Empire also reacted quickly, but unlike the Japanese, the Qing Empire not only recognized Shang Xi's accession to the throne, but also according to tradition, the Guangxu Emperor, who had just ascended the throne for less than a year, canonized Shang Xi.

This is a bit funny, I don't know what the future history books will say about this canonization, after all, the two kings are not even ten years old combined, it seems that reincarnation is really a technical job.

Perhaps knowing that they were not welcomed, the Japanese did not protest to Washington this time, but said that they would return to the Ryukyus in their own way.

On the second day of Naoki's accession to the throne, Japan began to accumulate troops on the island of Kyushu in preparation for the beginning of a counteroffensive against the Ryukyus.

This preparation was also extremely difficult, and at this time, Japan was also poor and white, and the whole country only had a standing army of the Guards Division, and this army had to defend the Beijing Division, so it had no spare strength to counterattack the Ryukyus.

So all the Japanese assembled on the island of Kyushu were new recruits, who had to complete at least three months of training here before launching an attack on the Ryukyus.

It is a pity that the Japanese Empire, which is a big Japanese empire, is not even in sufficient supply of ordnance for recruits, which is also a bit too much.

With regard to ordnance, the Horse Arms Factory can be said to have been a blockbuster at the National Independence Centennial Exhibition, and since the "trial operation", the Horse Arms Factory has won orders of more than 3 million US dollars, becoming the biggest winner of the Independence Centennial Exhibition.

At present, the Horse Arms Factory has successfully eliminated Enfield and Krupp and become the largest weapons company in the world.

If Japan wants to buy weapons, in fact, the best way to buy weapons is through the Shoma Arms Company.

However, the Japanese in these years did not have a good impression in the hearts of people all over the world, so the Junma Arms Factory actually refused the Japanese demand for arms purchases, and did not give face at all.

What made the Japanese feel even more angry was the reason for the refusal of the Horse Arms Factory.

After learning the news that the Japanese were seeking to buy ordnance, the Junma Arms Factory actually claimed that it would never sell weapons to people who were not as good as weapons.

That would give the suspicion of child labor.

When the Japanese began to reorganize their arms for war, Bai Qi was also vigorously armed.

Strategically despising the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy, these are the words that Li Mu has emphasized countless times, so he talks about looking down on the Japanese, but in fact, he really treats the Japanese as opponents.

If the Japanese can understand this feeling, they may be proud of it given the current Japanese mentality.

With the Putian militia as the foundation and the addition of the Wangcheng Guard, the expansion of the Baiqi army proceeded smoothly, and in less than three days, an army with a total number of 4,000 people was formed.

The new Ryukyu National Guard has just been announced, and the Ryukyu Group immediately provided a full set of clothing and weapons, not to mention clothing, including 75 mm rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns, and at the same time purchased a large number of Mongolian horses from the Qing Empire to equip the Ryukyu National Guard.

This is not something that ordinary people can do, and a country as big as Japan can't do it with the strength of the whole country.
