Fuso, garrison battalion.

Marshal Ran Wuzheng of the Liaodong Theater convened the generals to discuss matters in the marshal's tent.

"Chief of Staff, tell me about the recent harassment by the British." Ran Wuduan sat down and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, marshal, generals, according to the latest statistics, the British have appeared 23 times in these two months, of which 19 have been exchanged with our navy, and the navy has lost fifty-six killed and forty-seven wounded. The casualties of the British are unknown, because the current battlefield speed of our army is not as fast as the British, and there is no way to catch up and check the results. And most of the casualties of our troops were inflicted by the new repeating muskets of the British. The chief of staff reported in a deep voice.

"What about the other 4 times?" Someone asked.

"On those four occasions, after our observation posts discovered the British ships in time, our shore defense guns opened fire in time to repel the British."

"So that means that our army is now only passively beaten? When the British came, we could only be beaten, and we couldn't beat them, and we couldn't catch up? This battle is really a wretch. ”

"When has our Great Qin army fought such a wretched battle, it's really depressing!"

When a few of the grumpy generals heard this, they began to complain loudly.

The chief of staff didn't say a word, Ran Wu's eyes swept over the few people who complained, and scolded: "What are you yelling about, how can there be immortals in war." Your Majesty has already reminded you, don't always look like Lao Tzu is invincible in the world. God is fair, we are making progress and becoming stronger, so don't we allow others to become stronger? With a little setback, you can still be expected to expand the territory for Your Majesty in the future? ”

Ran Wu's prestige in the army was extremely high, and when he reprimanded him, several people didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly got up and said: "The last general is out of shape for a while, please punish the marshal!" ”

"Ten military sticks per person, and after going down, go to the Judge Advocate General's Office to receive them." Ran Wu said coldly.

"The last general obeys!" Several people hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

"Chief of Staff, what other information, continue." After the big tent was quiet again, Ran Wu said to the chief of staff.

"Yes. There is no intelligence on the naval side. It's just that there are some situations reported by the city department, and the last general feels unusual. The chief of staff said in a deep voice.

"Ichibu?" Ran Wu asked with a slight frown.

After Tokugawa Hidetada's defeat in Korea that year, the Great Qin army landed in Fuso not long after. The main force of the Fuso Army died in the first battle in Korea, and those who remained in the country were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were completely vulnerable.

The Great Qin army quickly occupied the entire territory of Fusang with almost no effort, and then quickly supported a son of the Fuso royal family to become the emperor, and supported some daimyo to ascend to the throne in the local area, so that the order of the Fusang Kingdom was quickly stabilized.

Whether the new emperor or the local daimyo is just a puppet of Great Qin.

If they meet each other and work hard to cooperate, of course Daqin doesn't mind letting them drink soup, they don't have power, but wealth can be enjoyed.

If you don't cooperate, but you have something that shouldn't be there, then it's a big deal to change someone.

When Great Qin first occupied Fusang, the ministers and generals were still a little worried that it would cause the Fusang people to revolt, but soon found that this worry was unnecessary.

These Fuso people have no concept of family and country at all, and their creed is to submit to the strong. As long as they have something to eat, they can show obedience and respect that is far beyond what people think.

Even when the Great Qin army was patrolling the streets, the Fusang people passing by would take the initiative to kneel down and watch them leave.

When the army built the barracks, some Fusang people were requisitioned to work, and they were given a little food to eat, and they were all grateful to Dade, and after they returned, they made a lot of publicity.

In this way, the Great Qin soldiers who watched it at first were dumbfounded. Over time, I also understood the character of the Fuso people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.

As long as you beat them up and are afraid, not only will they not treat you as an enemy, but they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts.

These things reached Jiang Chuan's ears, and Jiang Chuan took it for granted. Because in his cognition, the Fuso people have always been this kind of virtue.

For example, the Japanese in the previous life were defeated in World War II, and the Americans dropped two atomic bombs to blow up their hometown, and after the war, they were stationed by the Americans.

The Americans are stationed in Japan, but Japan has to bear the cost of garrisoning. Moreover, the US garrison in Japan can be said to be domineering, and there are not too many things such as killing people and humiliating women.

However, the Japanese government often did not dare to go to the US military for trouble, and in the end it was all over.

These things are absolutely a huge shame for a country.

However, the Japanese not only have no hatred for the Americans, but have been wagging their tails and begging for mercy after the United States like pugs.

On the contrary, China has always taken on a hostile and contemptuous attitude towards the other victorious country.

They were all victorious countries, but the attitude of the Japanese was completely different.

Why? The most fundamental reason is that the Japanese believe that it is the Americans, not the Chinese, who defeat them.

This led to the constant strife between the two countries after the war.

To get back to the point, after understanding the character of the Fusang people, Jiang Chuan ordered the Fusang people to be transferred from all parts of Fusang to set up an auxiliary defense army, let the Great Qin soldiers serve as officers, and use the Fusang people to govern the Fusang people, so that more troops could be released for peripheral defense.

At the same time, all the Fusang people were compiled into a book, and strong laborers were dispatched to form various coolie teams to carry out mining, fishing, farming, logging and other matters, and the resources collected by these Fuso people were continuously transported to Daqin through sea ships at almost no cost.

There were even many Fuso people who were transported to Daqin to do all kinds of hardest and most tiring jobs.

Although their income is very meager, there are still a large number of Fusang people who flock to them and come to Daqin.

It was under these circumstances that the City Ship Division also established a branch in Fuso. He is mainly responsible for the trade affairs between foreign ships and Fuso.

This included trade with the primitive tribes of the islands around Fuso.

Because the price given by the city is fair, and it will not be shoddy, these primitive tribes are relatively friendly, and the news spread, and more and more primitive tribes come to trade.

According to the old rules, these primitive tribes would come to the last three days of the month to concentrate on trading, exchanging their beast skins or some strange handicrafts for salt, iron, wine and other necessities of life.

It's just that the city division found that there have been many fewer primitive tribes coming to trade in the past two months, and there are fewer and fewer of them, so they will report this situation to the garrison base camp.

When the chief of staff finished talking about the situation, many people still didn't understand the problem, but Ran Wu had already thought of the problem.

Obviously, there is an irresistible external force that will cause these primitive tribes not to trade.

Then the most likely external factor is the British.
