Against the Indians you don't need to play any crossfire. As long as two or three small cannons are placed on each turret, this is enough.

Because the Indians' military force, which was basically in the age of cold weapons, was too difficult to attack a turret.

The smart people among them are not unable to see what the Chinese are going to do when they build artillery towers, but they can't restrain it at all!

In the first hundred years of the Chinese arrival in North America, European explorers, missionaries and fur traders came here one after another. The Indians in the area knew what guns were, which is why the wise Indian chiefs were so desperate. In such a fortification, only one platoon of troops and enough guns were needed to make hundreds or thousands of Indians sigh.

Therefore, these 'civilized' leaders were the main force of the surrender and eastward movement of the Ju tribe. On the contrary, those conservative and ignorant Indian tribes resisted the entry of Chen Han's power and the arrival of the Chinese.

In the new year, the Xue people and Indians in the Yatu region maintained a strange balance, and this is exactly what the upper elites of the Xue country are happy to see. The Xue people built turrets, and then gradually expanded the territory and areas under their control, squeezing the living space of the Indians little by little with absolute hard power, and finally achieved the goal of completely eliminating the hostile Indians.

Tomokazu Sugida and Kim Taeyong stood on the castle tower of Nansui Town, respectfully waiting for Tokugawa Yoshimasa, who was holding a telescope to observe the construction of the turret, to give them a lecture.

Yes, the head of Nanshui Town is this Tokugawa Yorimasa from the Kii Tokugawa family, one of the three imperial families of the Tokugawa shogunate.

The Kii Tokugawa family was one of the three closest branches of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the second shogun of the shogunate, Tokugawa Hidetada, formulated Japan's unique patriarchal law, designated the Tokugawa family branches in the three places of Owari, Kii and Mito - their ancestors were: Tokugawa Ieyasu's ninth son Tokugawa Yoshinao (Owari), the tenth son Tokugawa Yoshinobu (Kii), and the eleventh son Tokugawa Yoribo (Mito), the closest relatives of the clan, and Owari Tokugawa was the head of the three families, followed by Kii and Mito.

The fifth clan of the Kii clan was the eighth shogun of the shogunate, Tokugawa Yoshimune. He is the grandfather of the current shogun Tokugawa Ieji.

Therefore, the status of the Kitogawa family is quite prominent in Japan.

And such a big family, it must be deep-rooted, and Tokugawa Yoshimasa is a member of the Kii Tokugawa family, and he is also a member of the Yanzhi. According to his generation, he is also the younger brother of the current shogun Tokugawa Iedharu and the cousin of Mrs. Xue Wang.

Although there seem to be many official positions in Japan, generations of shoguns also like to pass on their descendants and use this as a means to peacefully subjugate local daimyos. But there are always a lot of people who become 'lost pearls'.

On the plane of time and space, Tokugawa Jiji, the father of the 11th shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieqi, was one of them.

Obviously he is a relative of the Tokugawa clan, but he has to work under Tanuma Yoshiji, and he has to be appreciated by Tanuma Yoshiji, and look at Tanuma Yoshiji's face, so that after the loss of his son by the tenth shogun Tokugawa family, his eight-year-old son can successfully ascend to the throne.

The current Tokugawa Yoshimasa is in the same situation. It's just that he didn't choose to continue to go around in the shogunate, but jumped out of the small trap of Japan, went to China five years ago, went to Nanjing, and became one of the disciples of King Xue's 'hidden residence'.

And now he is only a small 'mayor'. However, the future status of Nanshui Town is well-known and bright, and it can be said that as long as there is no accident, he will be able to single-handedly pull up a 'county' for the grass-roots Xue Guo, and then take advantage of this credit, and it will be easy to jump into Yatu.

In the final analysis, Tokugawa Yorimasa's identity still added some points to him.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Tokugawa Yoshimasa gave himself a Chinese name early, his Chinese name is Li Zheng, Li Tang's Li, which is the most used surname by Japanese naturalized Japanese people in addition to playing the words in their own surnames.

And this phenomenon is put on Tokugawa Yoshimasa, that is, a positive attitude.

For China, there are many, many things with attitude, and a positive attitude is really important.

Tokugawa Yoshimasa is completely different from Tomokazu Sugita and Kim Taeyong. The latter two are the managers of labor companies in the Xue Kingdom, that is, the white gloves and agents pushed to the table by the Tokugawa shogunate and the Seifu-Kim clan, Sugita Tomokazu is still a Japanese in essence, Kim Taeyong is a native of the same country as Tokugawa Yori, and even in terms of blood, he is also a close branch of the Seifu-Kim clan, but the importance of this person to the Seifu-Kim clan is definitely very limited.

This time, the Qingfeng Kim family brought tens of thousands of Korean laborers to the Americas, and although they did not earn much from it, they earned enough favors in front of Chen Lu and Chen Mi. Now that Xue Guo and Ju Guo are in ruins, when they officially use money and exert themselves, Qingfeng Jin has saved money and contributed to these two countries, which is a great favor.

But in this way, the tens of thousands of North Korean migrant workers who were fooled into running out of their stable homes are going to hate Qingfeng Kim so much in their hearts that they will curse people. Qingfeng Jin's is exchanging the 'fundamental' of his past - the people's will for the benefits of the present.

At the same time, it is not for Nanjing to see.

Look, our Qingfeng Jin family can have a red heart to Nanjing, and in order to support His Majesty the Emperor's little brother, we have squandered the reputation and prestige that the family has accumulated for hundreds of years. This is not a good way to show loyalty to Nanjing and make a cut with the past.

Of course, Jin Taiyong in front of him is likely to have a black cauldron on the back of the Qingfeng Jin family. But whether this black cauldron will completely crush Kim Taeyong to death in his life, or become his stepping stone to mainstream society, it is difficult to say.

In general, Kim Taeyong's prospects are unpredictable, but Sugita Tomokazu is a big savior in the hearts of tens of thousands of Japanese laborers.

Life in the Americas is tiring, and there is a lot of work to do every day. But here you can eat and dress warmly, and there is a good salary [compared to Japan], and there is still income from overtime, for the Japanese who come here, it is not a crime, but an absolute treasure.

Tomokazu Sugita himself has no doubts about being sent to the Americas. Although neither he nor Kim Taeyong have any room for opposition to this decision, nor do they have the courage to object. But in my heart, Tomokazu Sugita is very willing.

He has been in the Americas for three years, and has established a good relationship with Ju and Xue, and maybe he can use the connections he has planted in these three years to do a labor export business in the future.

It's as easy as this kind of business right now.

Just pull people from Japan to the Americas and hand them over to the Chinese. In the next few days, you can sit and wait to collect the money, or if you send your cronies to the construction site, you will definitely get good hospitality. At the same time, I can also win a reputation among my countrymen [Japan], which is too good to be a good business.

……

Osaka Bay, Japan.

Just when Tomokazu Sugita was making his own little calculations in his heart, the scenes that Japan has repeated in recent years have started again.

This was because, a few years after the end of the Tenmei famine, which had devastated one-quarter of Japan, there was a second famine in Japan.

The scope of this famine was far less than the previous Tianming famine, but the intensity was not insignificant.

First of all, natural disasters such as the Great Dewa Flood, the Ou Flood, and the Kanto Typhoon and Rain continued to occur, causing food prices in Japan to continue to rise. Of course, Matsudaira Toshinobu's liberal reforms ended in failure and brought Japan to a disruptive state, but the town halls in Edo still existed, and prices were still being adjusted. Moreover, after Tanuma Yoshiji stepped down, Matsudaira Toshinobu's reforms turned out to be bad, and Japan's domestic food production did increase. In order to curb commerce, Matsudaira Dingxin vigorously rewarded the production of grain crops, restricted the cultivation of cash crops, stored grain for famine, afforestation, and water control. In the past few years, he repeatedly issued the "Incentive Decree for Returning to Agriculture" in Edo, set up a "drifter shelter" in Edo, persuaded urban homeless people to return to their hometowns to work in agriculture, and forbade farmers to leave their hometowns and enter the cities, so as to secure rural labor.

However, its overly hard-line approach, coupled with its failure to truly revive the Japanese rural economy, could not stop the development of the commodity-money economy, and aroused the discontent of the merchants, the upper samurai, and the peasant masses. At that time, there was a satirical folk ballad, "The White River (referring to the Shirakawa Domain's lord Matsudaira Dingxin) is difficult to raise fish with clear water, and the fields are muddy and nostalgic." The failure of its reforms can be seen.

Back then, Tanuma Yoshiji was a character that everyone shouted at in Japan.

Osaka is a major commercial city in Japan, which is a bit of a Japanese version of 'Shanghai', but since last year, the number of abandoned babies in the city has increased, and the lower classes of citizens have become more impoverished. In the same year, a riot broke out in Hyogo that destroyed the rice store, and soon after, a peasant uprising of 10,000 people broke out in Harima, which spread to the prefectures of Kato, Misang, Innan, Kaku, Doka, and Minakami. The Osaka Town Commission immediately sent people to suppress it, but rumors and slogans continued to appear, and the people in the city were panicked.

Under such circumstances, China no longer needed to buy prisoners from the shogunate army that suppressed the civil unrest, and their strongholds in Japan's major ports were able to gather hundreds of Japanese people who took the initiative to 'emigrate'.

After these Japanese 'emigrated', they could only get a yellow book, not a red book. The conditions they face when they emigrate are far harsher than those of Chinese immigrants. If Chinese immigrants can work hard for ten years to achieve a moderately prosperous life, it will take more than ten years for the Japanese to repay their debts. And after immigration, if they want to further obtain Chinese nationality, they will have to pay a great price.

At this time, on the pier of Osaka Bay, a group of people with dishes on their faces quietly waited for the arrival of the ship, quietly leaving silent tears.

The Japanese are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the perception that people are cheap from their homeland also exists in the minds of millions of Japanese civilians. Moreover, most of the people on the dock in front of them are women and children, a small number of them are half-grown teenagers, and as for adult men, they are a minority of the minority. Most of them are wives and daughters who have lost their husbands or relatives, and some have been sold by their husbands and families, and their origins are complicated, but most of them are people from the vicinity of Osaka Bay. With the Osaka Town Commission dispatching a new army to suppress the area, a large number of Japanese people fled their hometowns, among which there are not too many displaced women and children, or women and children who have been separated from their relatives or separated.

However, these people are the group that Chen Han likes to gather, because women account for the majority of them, and almost all of the women who have been sent to immigrate are in the fertile period, and very few are over 30 years old.

The children who were also sent were rarely older than 10 years old.

As for the few young and strong Japanese men, after they go to the 'immigration place', they are treated as coolies and hard work, and they do not spend two or three years first, they are 'denied' freedom.

Of course, the Japanese are also aware of China's intention to recruit so many young women, and there are not a few Chinese immigrants who are singles. Many young men in their twenties marry widows in their 20s or 30+. The Chinese side gathered so many Japanese women to transport them outside, of course, to send these Japanese women to be daughters-in-law. However, the Japanese government's strength is limited, and they no longer want to see such a scene, and they are unable to take over these thousands of displaced people, and they are also short of money and food. To leave these Japanese women and children behind is to push them into the fire pit.

After signing an agreement with the Chinese, they can get two bowls of porridge a day, and although some people will still die due to malnutrition, lack of medical treatment and disease, but with the care of the Chinese and the treatment of Chinese doctors, the living environment is much better.

In the past winter, for example, if the Tokugawa shogunate had taken over the tens of thousands of displaced people, the shogunate would certainly not have been able to deal with them properly. These people will die en masse in the cold of winter, and it is not impossible for a snowstorm to freeze to death hundreds of women and children. Therefore, handing over these people to the Chinese is leaving them a way to live.

Of course, when these people go to the Chinese to sign an agreement, it must uphold the principle of voluntariness. You can't pack it up and give it to the Chinese like selling piglets, otherwise it may affect the stability of the whole of Japan.

At the same time, Buddhism in Japan also contributed to this by calming the hearts of Japanese refugees.

As a result, in such a context, many women and children gathered in Kobe, Osaka, Nagasaki, and even the ports of Edo.

China's 'guides' are like 'teachers' engaged in pyramid schemes, praising Nanyang, Nanmingzhou, and North America like fairylands, making women and children who usually have insufficient food and clothing, and whose lives are threatened from time to time, very tempted. And as a result, it is constantly being transported to other countries!

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. At the time of parting, many people are naturally reluctant, after all, no matter how bad Japan is, it is also the hometown of their group of long-term people.

But Chen Ming was very happy.

The work of the Immigration Bureau has been fully affirmed by him.

It's a good idea, with a focus on young Japanese women, women, and young children.

The former can be used for national integration, and the latter has a lot of moldability. It's not going to be raised, and a group of white-eyed wolves have been raised.

Chen Ming felt that this strategy was necessary.

And the identity of a Japanese woman also made a faint sense of pleasure rise in his chest.

In his previous life, the hatred between China and Japan, Chen Ming will not forget. Now he vigorously supports the Tokugawa shogunate, and supports the Tokugawa shogunate to deprive the Japanese imperial family of its prestige and presence among the people, and China and Japan really can't become enemies. Unless the Japanese imperial family and the public family, which have no soldiers, no power and no money, can make a big comeback, Japan can only be China's little brother.

Even if China is a big brother, it can't beat the younger brother for no reason. Isn't it?

In this way, the immigration bureau was able to indirectly avenge Chen Ming, which made Chen Ming feel happy in his heart, which was really heartfelt.

Although the height of Japanese women in this era is a bit disabled......
