"Japan is an island country, the land is composed of three major islands and Luogan islands, the mainland is long and narrow, its land is mountainous, and the large plains are only one of the so-called Bandong Plain, which is about the size of Yanshan Prefecture, which is the key to controlling Japan!"

Wu Haogu tapped on a map of Japan spread out on his desk, and gave his two sons a solution to the situation in Japan.

Although Wu Yiyong is brave and good at fighting, and his mind is quite lively, he is still a little worse than his third brother Wu Yijiu.

No, it's only been a few days since I returned to Tianjin, and I was fooled into wanting to be the king of Japan!

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being the king of Japan. As far as Takeyoko knew, before the gold and silver mines of the American continent were mined, Japan's gold and silver deposits were extremely important in the civilized world. Its silver production once reached 40% of the world's silver production!

Japan also has abundant copper reserves. In ancient times, China imported a large amount of copper ore from Japan for coinage.

In addition, Japan's gold, silver and copper mines are located at shallow depths that are relatively easy to mine. At least with the backward mining technology of ancient Japan, a lot of gold, silver and copper could still be shipped to China in exchange for a variety of goods.

At the same time, Japan's land is not too small, and there are quite a lot of plains, basins, and river valleys that can be reclaimed, and it is still possible to reclaim 780 million to 100 million mu of cultivated land.

In addition, Japan is surrounded by the sea, which is very conducive to the development of the fishing industry.

With access to imported varieties and advanced iron farming tools, this land and fishing would not be a problem to feed 20 million people. The current population of Japan is certainly less than 10 million, which means that at least millions of people can be colonized on Japanese territory in the future. The rest of the Japanese devils can also be educated with the righteous path of heaven......

And the process of indoctrination and colonization will last for tens or even hundreds of years.

In the process, Wu and his children and grandchildren may become the masters of the top of the land of Japan, most of which are Japanese provinces......

Hearing Wu Haogu talk about the Bandong Great Plains, Wu Yijiu smiled and took over the topic: "Bandong is also known as Kanto, and in a broad sense, it refers to the east of Bubaguan, Suzuka Pass and Aifa Pass in central Japan. Kanto is not all plains, but also includes large areas of low hills. Part of this is the Kanto Plain, which the Japanese divide into eight provinces: Musashi, Sagami, Anbo, Kamiso, Shimoso, Hitachi, Ueno, and Shimono. Japan's Reigo is roughly equivalent to our prefecture.

In addition, there is a huge bay in the southern part of the Kanto Eight Reikoku, and there are many good harbors in the bay. ”

Wu Yiyong nodded: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing!" I had to go to Japan and see the eight countries of Kanto and Kyoto.

After seeing it, I should have a plan to conquer Japan! ”

Wu Haogu smiled and nodded. In this matter, we must not blindly make decisions, we must know ourselves and our opponents.

"San Lang, find a way to arrange it."

"Okay." Wu Yoshijiu said with a smile, "We have Hirado Concession Land in Japan, and there are merchant houses and embassies in Hakata and Namba, so it is not difficult to go there. ”

Although Emperor Shirakawa of Japan was old and faint, he was still able to gain insight into the ambitions of the Great Zhou Republic. Therefore, we have been trying to resist the founding of the country.

However, due to the invasion of the northeastern region of Japan by the "Bohai pirates", Emperor Shirakawa still had to accept the "goodwill" of the Great Zhou and agreed to the lease of the port of Hirado Island by the Republic of the Great Zhou Republic, and set up merchant houses and embassies in Hakata and Namba, and set up a joint mine on Sado Island.

At the same time, Japan also began to send envoys to the Great Zhou and Great Song Dynasty. The missions of the two countries are also allowed to enter Kyoto.

However, the "opening up" of Japan is limited to five locations: Hirado, Hakata, Namba, Kyoto, and Sado Island, as well as the road from Namba to Kyoto.

As for the rest of Japan, I'm sorry, but it's not open!

Even so, the navy of the Great Zhou Republic used various methods to survey the hydrology and topography around the Japanese archipelago.

The Kanto region, with its huge bays and plains, was the top priority of the Great Zhou Republic's naval exploration.

Over the years, I don't know how many naval reconnaissance ships, disguised as merchant ships, entered the Kanto Bay under various pretexts and made a short stop in the port of the Japanese fishing village......

In addition, the sea area known as the Seto Inland Sea is a necessary place to pass through to Namba Port and Kyoto, and it has been reconnoitred back and forth countless times by the Great Zhou Navy!

Therefore, it is not difficult to send Wu Yiyong to Japan for a visit.

Before officially leaving for Japan for "tourism", Wu Yiyong found Fan Zhiwen, a waiter who had visited Japan many times, to ask for advice on Japan's national conditions.

As a soldier, observing the terrain and armaments of Japan is what Takeshi is good at. But to conquer a country, you can't rely on force alone.

As the first generation of graduates of Yuntai Academy, Fan Zhiwen, who has reached middle age, has become a chubby uncle, has also married a wife and had children, has three sons, four daughters, and two concubines in Japan - all of which are gifts he received from Emperor Shirakawa when he went to Japan!

Of course, she is not a lady of a public family, nor a daughter of a peasant family, but a daughter of a samurai family.

At this time, Japan was still in the era of public assistance to the emperor, and the status of the samurai was not high. Of course, the status of the samurai who came from the Taira, Genji, and Fujiwara clans was not low. However, grassroots warriors like the Abidiliu family are not very valuable.

To put it bluntly, they are the family members of the public family! Their daughter is lucky enough to be a plaything for the high-ranking public masters...... The one who was given to Fan Zhiwen by Emperor Shirakawa was the daughter of a samurai who was born underneath. It's probably not a concubine yet, so it's just an item to give away.

However, they are still upright, delicate and small, with fair skin, and their facial features are also very delicate. In fact, she is not young, but she still looks like a little girl who has not grown up.

When Wu Yiyong visited Fan's house, Fan Zhiwen asked these two concubines to accompany him and set up a Japanese-style banquet in a Tang-style side hall.

In fact, the living habits between China and Japan in this era are not too different, Chinese will also kneel, also eat sashimi, also like to take a variety of dried fruits to drink, and will also drink what kind of powdered matcha (called the last tea in China, popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and also in the Song Dynasty).

So Wu Yiyong is also used to it, but he feels that there is a little less oil and water, and the amount is a little less, and he doesn't feel full after eating it......

"Are you full?" Fan Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"It's full." Wu Yiyong is a guest, and he can't say that he can't eat enough.

Fan Zhiwen said with a smile: "The admiral is a martial artist, with a strong body, how can he be full of food at this point?" Yuhime, go and ask the kitchen to roast a whole sheep for the Admiral. ”

The Japanese concubine who was waiting by Fan Zhiwen's side answered, and went squirming.

Fan Zhiwen then said: "The general doesn't think the old man is stingy, the old man entertained the general today, and it is already a first-class delicacy in Japan." ”

"Good food? How can you be so poor? Wu Yiyong frowned.

Japan doesn't seem to be as good as Daddy and Saburo said!

"It's not all because of poverty," Fan Zhiwen said, "The Japanese people are superstitious about Buddhism and don't want to kill, so they don't eat much meat." When their Emperor Tianmu was in our Tang Dynasty, he also issued a ban on meat, prohibiting all meat, including fish and shrimp. It was only during the time of Emperor Seimu that it was opened, and you could eat some fish, but they didn't know much about fishing, and they didn't have much salt, so it was difficult to marinate salted fish in large quantities. Moreover, the habit of eating vegetarian food has been formed, and it is not easy to change, so they are basically vegetarian.

Not only did the common people of Japan not eat meat, but even the clans and samurai did not eat meat...... At least in Gyeonggi and Kansai, the samurai did not eat meat. Kanto is a barbaric land, and the situation is slightly different.

In addition, there are few plains in western Japan, the terrain is narrow, and there are no good farming tools, so farming is not good. Not only is there no meat, but there is not much rice. Therefore, the fact that people are born short is also related to food shortness in children. ”

"Short as a child can fight?" Wu Yiyong smiled and glanced at the "little girl" beside him...... It's so small, how can you get out of your mouth? It's better to have a jade plate and a teacher, that's a woman!

"Small but brave!" Fan Zhiwen said, "This is not the old man's evaluation, but the evaluation of the Marine Operations Division...... There has always been a Japanese mercenary team in the Marine Division. It can be seen that the samurai of Japan also have merits! ”

Wu Yiyong nodded, and also remembered this. Since the Marine War Division knows Japan, there should be people from the Japanese Corps of the Marine War Division in the Jiyi Division who recruited the Japanese army by himself.

"Will they die for us?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"Ken!" Fan Zhiwen smiled, "A samurai from a famous family may not be willing to do so, but what are those low-level samurai who are from a humble background and have no food or clothing?" They don't have anything, if they don't mess with us, what way out? Only if we can give them a Japanese estate, we will definitely be able to win over the pawns. ”

"Give them the Japanese estates?" Wu Yiyong asked, "What about our people?" ”

Of course, to conquer Japan is to colonize! Otherwise, Wu Yiyong would not be an aggressor, but a liberator...... To liberate the suffering Japanese people?

And the method of colonization, of course, is to divide the territory among the knights and soldiers!

Now that the Great Zhou has laid a large territory, although many knights and government soldiers can be placed, there are more peasants with little land and no land! Among them, there are also brave and combative people. You have to give them a chance to rise, otherwise the Central Plains will not be stable.

"Don't finish it!" Fan Zhiwen said, "To control the eight states, it is enough to hold the Eight Lingguo in the palm of your hand...... At most, add the territory of the Northeast. The west side is divided and rewarded to the Japanese samurai who have taken refuge in us. Don't give it to those from famous families, just give it to samurai from poor families. They're easier to fiddle with!

As for those famous families and the emperor, please come to Tianjin! ”
