In September 1780, the Japanese Edo shogunate sent the elder Nakadanuma Yoshiji to Los Angeles again and signed the "Los Angeles Agreement" with the Tang government. The www.biquge.info agreement basically included all the conditions proposed by Su Liangxing, the former foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty, namely the three articles of apology, trade and land cutting.

In order to ensure that the agreement could be passed, the Tokugawa shogunate resorted to secretive tactics. After Tanuma Yoshiji returned home with conditions, he did not disclose the conditions of the Tang people, but secretly discussed with the shogun Tokugawa Ieji, and after the general made a decision and was ready to agree to the conditions of the Tang people, the news was still controlled and did not leak out, until Tanuma Yoshiji went to Jiazhou, the outside world still did not know what kind of discussion the shogunate had with the Tang Dynasty.

Through the Los Angeles Agreement, the Tang Dynasty officially acquired the Mutsu and Dewa provinces from the shogunate, and separated this area from the Guwei Overseas Domain, and established the Okuwa Overseas Domain, which was governed by Sendai.

In fact, it was impossible for the shogunate to cede Okuyu even if it did not want to, and the Japanese did not make efforts to recover the Tohoku region, but the Tang army had a regiment in Okuyu, and it had naval support, which was able to respond to any provocation more flexibly. At the same time, the 2nd Brigade of the German Corps had also been moved from Guwei to Ou for training, and the three regiments were stationed in different places. What made the Japanese even more desperate was that the Tang Dynasty recruited many lower-class samurai and ronin in Japan, and a considerable number of the daimyo feudal lords in the northeast region defected to the Tang people. The reason is also simple, economic interests. Throughout the Edo Shogunate period, the lives of the lower-class feudal lords and ronin were very difficult, and many of them even borrowed money to survive. And there is not enough to eat.

After the Tang Dynasty occupied Aoyu, he organized a security army in the local area and went through several months of recruitment and selection. In the end, 20,000 people were recruited, and they became the Yamato Corps in the Tang Foreign Legion, which surpassed the German Corps. The number of feudal clans of Sendai, Akita, and Yonezawa, which originally belonged to the three powerful feudal clans in the Tohoku region, was nearly 10,000, and with the addition of medium-sized Soma, Shonai, Morioka, and Hirosaki feudal domains, as well as many smaller feudal clans, more than 30% of them directly defected to the Tang people. And then add the ronins from all over the world. There were also local farmers who were interested in joining the army, and finally this foreign legion established in the name of the security army was officially established when the Ou Overseas Consulate was officially established. It already has more than 20,000 troops.

The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers of the security army is surprisingly small compared to the standard of the armed forces of the Tang Dynasty, and the monthly income of the second-class security army soldiers is only 8 Tang yuan, compared with the 25 yuan a month in the Qing State of the armed guards. It's only one-third of the family. The income of a first-class soldier is only 10 yuan. Officers also earn a limited amount of money. It is comforting to note that at least these Japanese soldiers earned more than the average European soldier at this time. Even, most of the Japanese soldiers were extremely satisfied with this, especially some of the lower-class feudal lords and ronins who had not mixed well before.

First of all, when soldiers eat food, although the amount of training in the barracks is relatively large, but they eat three meals a day, and they are full. What makes their eyes even more stunned is that there is absolutely no limit to the amount of rice for three meals. Other fish, meat, and egg dishes are also very abundant, although the food is more Chinese and more skewed, such as tempura and sushi rolls, which they rarely eat, but a variety of curry rice bowls and steamed buns are common. Soldiers of Japanese descent believed that they were treated even better than many of the local daimyo in Japan. Food alone is enough to make them think that they are an elite army that has been built, and at the same time have a sense of knowing the grace of encounter.

In addition to eating, the lower-class samurai who usually did not have a few clothes, when they entered the barracks, they were issued two sets of winter clothes, two sets of summer clothes, two sets of training clothes, and a number of underwear, cotton pants, autumn pants, socks, etc., which made them feel more angry was the leather military boots with big heads, and there was a clattering sound when stepping on the ground, as if they were very powerful.

As for the eight Tang Yuan, my heaven is already a lot for them, okay. Most of the Japanese soldiers who joined the security army did not earn as much as eight yuan in the past year. Since they are responsible for eating and drinking in the army, basically this money is to support their families or entertain themselves. At the Kabuko House in Shitamachi, Sendai, sleeping with a turnip-legged girl even costs five cents. Moreover, they can also enter the military supply store, enjoy cheaper prices, and buy Datang goods. Groceries, cigarettes, videos, and even things like flashlights can all be bought.

It can be said that this group of Japanese soldiers is the first batch of vested interests after the Tang Dynasty occupied Aoyu.

Due to the Tang Dynasty's rule over Okuwa, the local samurai were deprived of the right to occupy the land, which led to the opposition of many samurai, and even the shogunate secretly supported their attack on the Tang Dynasty. In some places, a certain scale of fighting broke out, and at first the German Corps and the Don Army were dispatched against them. For these people, the Tang army was not merciful at all, and directly killed them, and those who participated in the rebellion were also dealt with according to the circumstances, the lightest was hard labor, and the heaviest was execution. In other words, there are only these two disposals, and there is no gentle lifting and gently putting it down.

After some Japanese soldiers learned how to use S1 rifles, Governor Ou Tai Yihua was instructed by Bai Nan to begin a small scale to send security forces to actually maintain law and order, that is, to suppress the local rebellious samurai groups. Due to the fact that these Japanese soldiers had been in refuge for a short time, and they had previously come from the daimyo's men. Even though the Tang people disrupted their organization, such as the samurai of Akita who came to Sendai to serve as soldiers, and the samurai of Sendai who went to Fukushima, they still had doubts about the loyalty of these Japanese soldiers. Therefore, for the first time, they were sent to war, and only two battalions of 800 Japanese soldiers were sent to fight.

In normal times, unless training, all weapons are separated from Japanese soldiers, so they are very wary. Now each person has an S1 standard rifle, and one person carries a base number of ammunition (60 rounds), and it will be troublesome if they turn around against the Tang. However, the Tang people also have a way, followed directly by a company of "supervision team", more than 100 Tang soldiers were directly equipped with 60 S8 light machine guns, the predecessor of which was the Bar1918 used by the Americans in World War II, plus 2 Browning heavy machine guns and 60 S6 submachine guns. As long as a Japanese soldier turned back, it would be a bullet that swept them all into a sieve.

Of course, the facts are relatively smooth, the Japanese soldiers holding S1 rifles and bayonets are wrapped in strips of cloth that will win on their heads, and they don't know which one is out of stock and handed them a sentence "Datang board!" He then shot at the samurai and rebels who started the rebellion. The guys even shot while charging, and basically ran under the opponent's nose after firing five rounds in the magazine. So the guys began to stab and kill with bayonets.

The results of the incident showed that compared with the suppression of the Tang and German soldiers, this group of Japanese soldiers was even bloodier on the battlefield, and the entire rebel group of more than 1,000 people, few of them survived, and all of them were shot and stabbed on the battlefield. Another phenomenon that Tang officers could not accept was that this group of Japanese soldiers was fond of cutting off their heads on the battlefield, and as a result, after the battle, they saw a large handful of Japanese soldiers holding a large handful of hair, and there were several heads below, which really made people feel that they were making a cult movie.

However, the rebellion against the Tang rule in the Ou region did not last long, and evolved into a huge scale. Most of them were not stupid, and they could not achieve any victory in the face of heavily armed soldiers, rebels with katanas and farm implements, at best, flintlock pistols. Most of the farmers in the Ou region did not feel that their interests were being violated, because no matter who they were, they had to farm for them. The agricultural cooperatives organized by the Tang people had better conditions than the previous farming for the samurai adults. Under the contract system, you only need to pay a small contract fee, you can cultivate your own fields, and you can pay taxes when due, and the excess is your own, which is far more than the income from farming for the samurai. In addition, the unified agricultural cooperatives provide local farmers with improved seeds, guide agricultural technology, and even a small number of agricultural cooperatives have brought agricultural machinery, and at the same time, the agricultural cooperatives are also responsible for borrowing, if they can't survive, they can borrow grain from the agricultural cooperatives without interest to survive, and it will be good to pay it back next year. This is the welfare born of Datang's excessively sufficient grain output, anyway, the excess grain is rotten in the grain depot, it is better to lend it, and the harvest next year is still new.

As farming began, more and more Ou farmers were content with a more restrictive but actually more relaxed living environment, and the samurai's agitation did not work. The samurai who really suffered serious losses in this accident either went elsewhere to become ronin, or simply went to the Tang people and became their mercenaries. Of course, there were also some samurai who were content to change their status, and became farmers or merchants, because there were some samurai who lived like this in the first place.

The high treatment of the Ou security army made many samurai who knew that there was no way to rebel, and even some ordinary peasants, wanted to join the security army, so even if the Ou security army had recruited 20,000 troops, there was still an endless stream of people who wanted to join the army, and even many ronins from other places rushed to join the army. However, even if the military expenditure for maintaining the security army of Ao Yu is not much, the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty is already very huge, the regular Tang Army alone has more than 40 million personnel, and the 60,000 troops of the Wuyi Army of the Wuwei Army are tens of millions, as well as the Foreign Legion. The point is that neither the military nor the National Council saw the significance of expanding the Yamato Corps.

There is almost no defensive pressure on the Tang Dynasty, and the main colony of Hawaii has no enemies, and Guwei and Oyu in Northeast Asia are actually enough to garrison thousands of people, and they are also guarded by the German Corps in the three overseas territories in Southeast Asia. Unless the Tang people wanted to start a few more wars, recruiting a large number of Yamato corps would be even more cumbersome. And obviously, Datang doesn't want to fight now, or doesn't have too much kung fu to fight. Immigration, trade, and economic development are the main axes in the next five years.

However, in the end, considering that the Yamato Corps was the cheapest, the Datang Ministry of Defense decided to maintain 30,000 posts, with a total of three divisions of Japanese soldiers, who also belonged to the Foreign Legion. However, this Yamato corps also has some other attributes, such as Colonial Advance. (To be continued.) )
