Feng Tansen was a little tired in the following time, although Sendai Castle was breached by the Tang Army's Foreign Legion in just one day, but after that, samurai appeared out of nowhere, attacking the German soldiers stationed in Sendai. A few days after the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, there were even retainers and branches of the Sendai Domain, who came out from their own territory to relieve the siege. Of course, these reinforcements were basically beaten to the ground at the beginning of the battle, and the legendary Sendai people who were good at fighting had no shadow at least at this time.

There were a number of things that surprised the Germans more than a group, such as a group of samurai living outside Sendai who launched an offensive against the Don army, and then they were cleanly defeated, and some of them fled. However, a day later, they tied their hands behind their backs and returned to Sendai on the grounds that they knew that they would not be able to save their lord, so they hoped to share their fate with the lord's survival.

Another strange thing is that the peasants under the control of the Sendai clan rarely run away from their homes. When the Tang and Germans went to appease them, they stayed in their homes in peace. A Tang Dynasty official who was familiar with Japanese culture and conditions explained to Feng Tansen that the Japanese were afraid of the strong, and they often had poor economic ability, and once they fled their land, it was difficult for them to survive, so they would not flee unless they had to.

In addition, the German mercenaries did not deliberately disturb these farmers and townspeople of the Sendai Domain, and the mercenaries targeted the samurai with more family backgrounds, but Feng Tansen was still disappointed to find that even the relatively wealthy Sendai Domain, from the daimyo to the Ashigaru, were all poor, and even the grain in the grain depots of the Sendai Domain was not particularly rich. Obviously, in Japan in this era, grain is the hardest currency.

Feng Tansen asked Tai Yihua, a "Japan expert" and an official of the Tang Dynasty. Said: "Actually, I'm a little confused, obviously Japan is not a rich country, not to mention compared with the Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid it seems a little poor compared to the Philippines, except for the production of grain and seafood, there is basically nothing of value here." And apparently the Tang Republic is rich in grain. There is far no need for a grain-producing area, and it is still a grain-producing area with a low yield per mu. So, what did the Tang Dynasty plan to open up a colony in Japan for? ”

Tai Yihua nodded and said: "Commander Tansen, what you said is right, Japan is a particularly thin bone, it is not interesting to gnaw, and it lacks the resources we need to develop industry." However, Japan is a good labor producer. ”

Feng Tansen thought he understood, and he asked, "So like the capture of the Qing Kingdom, does the Tang Dynasty need Japanese immigrants?" ”

Tai Yihua shook his head and said, "Of course not, as a Chinese." We all don't have a good opinion of the Japanese, and we don't want them to become immigrants, at least not in the next half century. But as you can see, the Japanese have an astonishing obedience to their national character, and a great sense of patience, which allows them to do some very intense labor, and at the same time they can be a considerable army. ”

Feng Tansen said: "Will Datang recruit the Japanese Foreign Army?" ”

Tai Yihua said: "I don't count this if I say it, it depends on the thoughts of the Ministry of National Defense." But in addition. Trade with Japan is also an area that we are more optimistic about. However, trade is concentrated in the Kyushu area, and it is clear that we need to take further action. ”

Even if it is to open the door to Japan. With a population of just over 20 million and a poor population, the consumption power of Datang is far less than that of European countries. Of course, talking is better than nothing, and you can earn a little is a little. On the one hand, Bai Nan did hope to obtain a group of Japanese laborers and soldiers. On the other hand, they want to disintegrate the nation. Now that the Tang Dynasty has appeared in this plane, there is no need for Japan, which claims to have inherited the Tang style, to become so powerful.

Bai Nan didn't want to see anything like the Meiji Restoration in this plane, and the Chrysanthemum Dynasty would press them to death in the toilet bowl in a step-by-step manner. Of course, at this time, the Japanese did not have much real sense of the emperor, and their national and national consciousness were not unified. Baiknan, who has seen another post-World War II history, knows very well that Japan can be a good dog. It's okay to sell cuteness like an Akita dog. If you have something, you can let go of the rope and let it bite. Of course, keep yourself strong at all times, and this dog will not hurt itself.

Therefore, Bai Nan intended to dismantle the Tokugawa shogunate, dismantle the samurai system, and at the same time dismantle the emperor system, so as to completely change Japanese society. However, considering that many of the actions in Japan have not been rewarded, Paiknan does not intend to spend a lot of money and energy on these things like the launch of the Cuckoo Project. He can do it slowly in a few years or even more than ten years, destroying one or two daimyo today, and one or two more the day after tomorrow, destroying it in many ways economically and politically.

Speaking of which, it is probably precisely because of Japan's barrenness that in the history of the other dimension, it has attracted much less attention and been invaded by the West than the Qing Dynasty. In East Asia, the eyes of the great powers have always been focused on China, constantly thinking about how to cut a bigger piece of meat. And after they got the trade treaty in Japan, they found that there was basically no profit, so they could only ignore it. Under these conditions, Japan had a proper sense of crisis, without more powerful pressure, and the traditional feudal system never concentrated power, so that they founded the country and completed the metamorphosis, and finally came from behind.

Therefore, the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of Japan have their own good reasons.

The Tang army captured the Sendai Domain, and it really didn't get much to get it. The German soldiers, on the other hand, rejoiced, for some of the land they had conquered would become their spoils, and there was nothing more pleasing to the land, and nothing special had changed for the peasants here, for they had only changed from the samurai to the foreign samurai.

On the other hand, Japan's industries are concentrated in Keihin, Hanshin, and Nakakyo on the Pacific coast, as well as the Seto Inland Sea and Kitakyushu, which account for 90% of Japan's industry, while the Tohoku region was idyllic until the 21st century, and the industrial atmosphere was insufficient, even inferior to the industrial level of Hokkaido. Of course, there is no industry in Japan now, so there is no specific difference.

The Tang army took the lead in taking the Sendai Domain, mainly because it was relatively close to Nanguwei Island, and it was relatively simple, but Bai Nan still had a plan to throw all the German immigrants to Japan, so it was obviously very suitable here. (To be continued.) )
