In 1835, at the same time as the pacification of the Mongols, Qin Han led a task force to land on Sakhalin Island and drove out the Russian Cossacks on the island with absolute strength, then built military fortresses, and then occupied four islands in northern Hokkaido to lay boundary monuments. レ?レ

In November, Qin Han led his people to reach Ezo, or Hokkaido, which was under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Prefectures during the Han Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of the Andong Prefecture during the Tang Dynasty, and under the jurisdiction of the Nuer Gandu Division during the Ming Dynasty. The indigenous Ezo people of Hokkaido paid tribute to the Chinese Zhengfu during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, and received canonization from the Southern Dynasties. At one point, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent people to Hokkaido and Kuye Island to ask for whale oil. The Dunhuang documents clearly record the fact that the original people of Hokkaido, the Ezo people, were attached to the Tang Dynasty. The Chinese territory of Ezo Island (Hokkaido) was forcibly annexed by Rimoto when the Ming Dynasty declined. In 1835, Ezo was under the rule of the Matsumae Domain, and because the first shogunate era had just ended, the rule of the Matsumae Domain was not solid, and when Qin Han's army arrived in Hakodate, it caused chaos in the Matsumae Domain, Qin Han did not go to Ezo in person, and one of his regiment commanders, following the example of his colleagues in the Imperial Colonial Department, asked the daimyo of the Matsumae Domain to sign a series of treaties, including the gift of Rishiri Island, Rebun Island, Tenmai Island, Yajiri Island, Okushiri Island and other small islands to the Celestial Empire, and the division of concessions in Hakodate.

By the Lantern Festival in 1836, the whole country was basically pacified, and the reform work in the northern region was in full swing.

Since then, the division of the whole ** region has been completed, the empire has been completely unified, and the country is divided into 11 military regions in the Northeast, North China, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Southwest, Lingnan, Jingchu, Southeast, Xizang, Pacific and Lanfang, with a total of about 1.2 million troops, of which the ratio of infantry artillery and cavalry is 70:8:22. In addition, the East African colonies stationed the first overseas colonial division of the empire were large-scale field divisions, all with a total of 20,000 personnel. There are more than 400 naval ships in the country, including three Shanghai-class ironclad ships in Beiyang, six Shanghai-class ships in Nanyang, and 16 steam engine ships that have been gradually produced by the empire with the use of propeller technology, and 16 steam engine ships have been allocated to the Nanyang Navy, and sail ships will be gradually transformed into merchant ships for sale.

Compared with the ironclad ships with immature construction technology (in fact, Lin Hong would buy it from the system very quickly, but he insisted on building it himself), the steam engine warships with wooden wakis and wooden hulls are the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and these warships with high speed (compared to sail ships) and strong firepower can fully safeguard the interests of the empire in the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean and even the Indian Ocean-

One day in October 1835, two RI himself, dressed in Chinese clothes (with the help of Lin Hong, was finalized and produced), walked through the streets of Nanjing. At this time, the renovation of Beijing had not yet been completed. Zhengfu is still in Nanjing.

"I didn't expect that the Celestial Empire would be so powerful and so advanced." A young man said softly in a rimmed language. Look at the streets and near-modern buildings of Nanjing

Another ordinary old man nodded and said, "Zhongbao, we Satsuma have the convenience of Ryukyu, and it is most advantageous to trade with the Celestial Empire." Since the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty occupied southern China and our trade with Satsuma skyrocketed, our profits more than doubled, and this was just the leftover cold rice eaten by Chinese merchants, and the real wealth flowed into the pockets of the Chinese. If we have the support of the Emperor of the Kingdom of God, the revival of the Shimazu family is in sight, and then not only will we be able to dominate the island of Kyushu, but we will even be able to replace the Tokugawa family in the shogunate. ”

Tadahosu Tsuda said in a low voice: "Die for the revival of the Shimazu family!" ”

Hirogo didn't know that in the official history, if he wasn't in China now, he would have been killed by the old Abe family of the Tokugawa family. However, fortunately, he was responsible for the important affairs of the Shimazu family, and he came to China to meet the emperor of the Celestial Empire, and escaped his prosecution for violating the trade laws set by the shogunate.

Guangxiang met with Foreign Minister Chen Yanggu at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and explained his intention to Chen Yanggu, and then Chen Yanggu called Prime Minister Zuo Yu, who in turn called Lin Hong in Beijing, and Lin Hong decided to meet him in person, and he wanted to intervene. Under Zhengfu's arrangement, a month later, a delegation from Guangxiang came to Beijing

He and Tadashi Tsuda stood in a palace room waiting to be received in the Summer Palace, and couldn't help but marvel at the gorgeous and elegant imperial gardens owned by the Chinese.

"There is no such noble and luxurious palace in RI, not even the emperor, let alone those daimyos." Tsuda Tadaho looked at the carved beams and painted palace rooms and couldn't help but admire.

"Don't mention the Emperor of Rimoto, this is the honorific title of the Emperor of the Celestial Domain, not long ago I heard that the Emperor of the Upper Kingdom sent an envoy to Kyoto to ask the Emperor to accept the title of King Riben, but the Emperor refused to accept it, His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was very angry, and I don't know what will happen to our trip." Guangxiang quietly turned his head and said.

After the dispatch of Hirogo was a little silent, he said: "There is a long distance between RIBEN and China, during the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, RIBEN repeatedly came to China to learn advanced culture, although the Qing Dynasty, China gradually declined, but RIBEN was not much better under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. Until the emperor of the Chinese Empire ascended the throne and enriched the country and strengthened the people, the current Celestial Empire China was already a powerful country that attracted worldwide attention, and RI could not be compared. ”

Tsuda Tadaho smiled politely: "This is the order of respecting the rich and the poor customized by heaven and earth, and it is useless for the Lord of the Adjustment Institute to dislike it." What's more, we now need support and help from the Celestial Empire to rebuild the Shimazu family. ”

Hiroko nodded and said: "During the Warring States period, China was still a country admired by RI Honsho, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in a reckless manner, although he was known as the first to get ahead in the Warring States, but he had no reverence for China, and raised an army of more than 100,000 to attack Korea. At that time, the Ming army was only 50,000 to 80,000 men, and it defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi twice in Korea. At that time, the Ming Kingdom was already in decline in the Bo Xishan, but the war was not a problem. ”

Tsuda Tadaho pointed to a huge world map on the wall again, and said, "Lord Tunsho, do you see, the places on the map are all from the Celestial Empire, and the places with yellow se are from the Celestial Empire." ”

The investigation office also noticed the map and sighed: "We are only limited to a corner of the Riben, but the Celestial Empire has begun the road of conquest in the whole world, when will the Riben catch up?" ”

On the huge world map, China's territory has just been updated, and although the foreign vassal states with emperors are not counted in the territory, Mongolia and the Western Regions are counted as their own territories. From Alaska in the north, to the island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean in the south, from Balkhash Pool in the west, to the Rocky Mountains in the east, and a corner of East Africa (23,200 square kilometers in present-day Djibouti and 638,000 square kilometers in present-day Somalia). With a total area of 19.11 million square kilometers, it was the largest country in the world at this time.
