In the fifth year of the Great Guang Dynasty, at the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A piece of information traveled from Europe to Asia, Beiping, the capital of the Great Guang Dynasty. On this day, in the morning, Yang Lin summoned the generals in the conference room of the General Staff Headquarters of the Central Military Commission. Yang Lin held an intelligence document in his hand and said slowly: "Generals, according to the news that our intelligence officers in Europe have heard, the anti-French alliance led by Britain, Europe and Russia has once again been formed. If there is no emergency, Europe is now once again in a great war, affecting the entire countries of Western Europe. ”

The expressions of the people were very calm, not because they were indifferent to the current situation in Europe, but because they had already understood it.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Chao Sheng, who was in charge of the northern defense of the Daguang Dynasty, stood up and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, do you mean that while Russia's main forces are in Europe and unable to take care of the territory of Asia, we are going to carry out a northern expedition and recover the land occupied by Lao Maozi?" ”

Yang Lin didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Commander Chao, what's going on in the Joseon Mansion?" Has the North Korean army been trained? ”

Hearing this, Chao Sheng's face was overjoyed, thinking that Yang Lin was really ready to send troops to the north, conquer Lao Maozi, and recover the lost territory in the north lost by the Qing court, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Qiqi, according to your instructions, the last general will send 50,000 Qilin troops to garrison the Korean Palace, and migrate some of the people outside the customs to the Korean Palace, and distribute them to all parts of the Korean Palace. ”

"In addition, there are elementary and middle schools in the DPRK government, and as long as it is a slightly larger city, there will be at least one. After three years of development, a large number of people proficient in Chinese have been cultivated, and the Chinese language penetration rate in the Korean government is getting higher and higher. ”

"In addition, I have also drawn out some of the local residents of the Korean government to make up for the scarcity of people outside the Kansai area. Except for some stubborn and extreme people, people have forgotten the existence of the Korean state, and the sense of belonging to the Daguang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. ”

Chao Sheng's tone paused, and when he saw Yang Lin nodding frequently, showing a look of satisfaction, he continued: "As for the Korean Army, it has been established very smoothly, so far, there are already 200,000 people, plus the Qilin Army stationed there, the Great Guang Dynasty has 250,000 troops on the Korean Peninsula. Moreover, the degree of sinicization of these 200,000 Korean troops is very high, and there is no problem with basic exchanges. ”

"In addition, 70 percent of the families of the soldiers of the North Korean Army either live in a mixed relationship with the people we migrated to, or they live outside the Guan, in the three eastern provinces. Therefore, as long as their salaries are not deducted and they are treated equally, there will be no problem with the loyalty of these 200,000 Korean soldiers, and there will be no problem of mutiny. ”

Between the words, Chao Sheng was a little proud, and the affairs of the North Korean Mansion were almost a knife with one hand, laying a very solid foundation. As long as the policy of benefiting the people of the Daguang Dynasty continues to be implemented in the Korean government, there will be no chaos. Over time, it will truly become part of the Great Canton Dynasty.

Yang Lin nodded, and as soon as Chao finished speaking, he immediately said, "Hmm... Yes, with the police force of the DPRK government and various armed personnel, the total is 500,000 people. The total population of the DPRK is about 25 million, which does not affect the local economic development. ”

Yang Lin's voice made everyone confused, and they didn't understand the meaning. Without waiting for them to react and continue to figure it out, Yang Lin suddenly looked at Cai Lian and asked, "Senior Cai, how is the situation in Ryukyu Province?" ”

Cai Yan was obviously stunned, he was still talking about the issue of the north just now, why did the emperor ask about the Ryukyu Province in the East China Sea again? Although he was puzzled, he still reported honestly: "Your Majesty, the situation in Ryukyu Province is much better, there are no natural disasters there, let alone major wars, and since the imperial court took over the Ryukyu Kingdom, the local people have no resistance." ”

"Since the various policies of the imperial court to benefit the people have been popularized in the local area, the local people have fully accepted the Daguang Dynasty, and their sense of belonging has become stronger and stronger, which has made their children enthusiastically join the army. To date, the Ryukyu army has reached 300,000 and is still growing. With the addition of the garrison in the early period of the imperial court, the garrison of the Great Guang Dynasty in Ryukyu Province has reached 360,000 people. ”

When Cai Lian reported, Yang Lin's mind began to appear in the garrisons of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, and after thinking about it carefully, it was roughly estimated that the Great Guangzhou Army had reached three million, nearly five times that of the founding of the People's Republic of China!

It is doubling almost every year, and the army is constantly growing.

Evenly divided, compared with the current territory area of the Great Guang Dynasty, the strength of three million is still less. Don't forget, the territory of the Great Canton Dynasty stretched from the Ryukyu Islands in the east, to the Indonesian archipelago in the south, to Tibet in the west, and to Uriya Sutai in the north.

These thoughts only lasted in Yang Lin's mind for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and when he saw the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, he didn't understand what he meant by a mallet in the east and a hammer in the west, and he was dizzy.

Although he couldn't gain insight into what everyone was thinking, Yang Lin was not prepared to continue to entangle, and began to go straight to the point.

"Having said all that, I stopped hiding it. The reason why I inquired about the Korean government and the Ryukyu Province, especially the garrisons in the two places, was because I was going to send troops to Japan to completely eradicate this country that was a scourge on the coast. A vassal state that has always been restless. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone showed a sudden look, and a map appeared in their minds at the same time, isn't Japan in the middle of the Korean government and the Ryukyus Province? Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Yang Lin's voice sounded again: "Commander Chao, Commander Cai listens to the order!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general!"

Chao Sheng and Cai Lian stood up at the same time and responded in unison, Yang Lin was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, and immediately began to issue a series of instructions.

"Commander Chao, you are responsible for transferring troops from the Korean government, mobilizing 150,000 Korean troops to the east of the Sea of Japan, and responsible for attacking Edo in Japan."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will obey the order and promise to complete the task!"

"Division Commander Cai, you are responsible for mobilizing 250,000 Ryukyu troops from Ryukyu Province, as well as one of your thunderous naval divisions, and the troops are divided into two routes, one way to attack Nagasaki, and the other way to make a detour from the east to assist Commander Chao in attacking Edo."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will obey the order and promise to complete the task!"

After assigning tasks to the two, Yang Lin did not stop, first looked around the left and right, and looked at the generals one by one, and then continued: "Although the other generals have no combat missions, the courage on your shoulders is not light at all. Immediately after the military meeting, they returned to their respective defense zones. ”

Yang Lin's tone paused, his eyes swept over Qi Zhiyuan and Huo Xiong, and then continued: "Especially in the South China Sea and the eastern territory, although Europe is in the midst of a war, you must not relax in the slightest. Whenever the imperial court uses troops, there will be some moths in these two places, making some mess. ”

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, everyone knew in their hearts that although the Western countries were in a war of conquest against each other, some careerists in their countries, especially those barbarians who were almost crazy about money and wealth, were always unwilling to give up their interests in Asia.

In the past few years, some pirate organizations in the West have frequently appeared in the South China Sea, plundering passing merchant ships, and the bold ones have even directly landed on the coast to rob and establish colonies, but they have been repelled and eliminated again and again by the Daguang army and the local militia, which is why the strength of the Daguang Dynasty in the southern region has grown rapidly.

There was also part of the border between Tibet and Xinjiang, and since the British East India Company gradually took full control of India, the ambitions of this East India Company began to swell, and it often organized armed forces, disguised as bandits and bandits, to raid the border, and vainly wanted to overthrow the rule of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty in the two places.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go back and go to the station to protect the border stability!"

All the generals stood up and answered Yang Lin's request, which was the emperor's edict.

Everyone left, but Yang Lin still sat there, and began to force himself to be quiet, organize his thoughts, and recall the series of conversations just now, and the events after the occupation of Japan.

Gradually, Yang Lin began to get excited, and once he completely occupied Japan, he split it into two provinces of the Great Guang Dynasty. Then, the eastern territory of the Great Guang Dynasty will be completely bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and the entire East China Sea will become the inland sea of the Great Guang Dynasty, and the coastal defense will be pushed eastward.

As long as Japan is completely controlled, it will be completely sinicized, and it will become the dogleg of the Great Guang Dynasty, a cannon fodder-like existence on the battlefield. Then, the eastern coastal defense of the Great Guang Dynasty will present a multi-point and one-line pattern, and the entire coastal defense will be connected in series and revitalized in an all-round way.

From the northernmost territory of Japan in the north, it runs south to the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan Island, and the Philippine Islands, to Sulu Province, Lan Fang Province, and the Strait of Malacca in the southwest. In this way, naval bases were set up in some places. Then, the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Sea of Japan are completely safe, and there is no need for naval patrols, only some coast guard patrols.

And, most crucially, the entire coastal area of the Great Canton Dynasty could be traded, and there was no need for a blockade. At that time, the economy of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty will rise to a new height, and the military strength of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty will reach tens of millions, is it not impossible?

The more Yang Lin thought about it, the more excited he became, the more difficult it was to suppress the surging feelings in his chest, and his ambition began to swell.

After conquering Japan, after two years of precipitation, the Great Guang Dynasty could send troops to the north to recover the area occupied by Lao Maozi, the area around Lake Baikal.

In the past few years, with the rapid development of the economy of the Greater Guangzhou Dynasty, Yang Lin's only disappointment is that he was unable to buy Louisiana in North America, which was first bought by the United States and buried at a low price of 15 million US dollars, less than 5 US dollars per square kilometer.

Therefore, the United States did not hesitate to buy Louisiana with the situation of borrowing.

It's just a little bit worse, Yang Sanda led the delegation to France, and before he could stand firm, the United States and France signed a treaty and announced the news of buying and selling Louisiana. Just two days later, Louisiana will be the Great Canton.
