Chapter 237: Preparing for War
Until now, immigrants to the west of Kyoto through various means of immigration still have a large amount of abandoned land, which also makes Mondola feel for the re-recruitment of 100,000 young Japanese laborers......
You can't force it from the Tokugawa family's domain!
The Tokugawa family is now the only reliable ally of the Han Empire ruling in Japan!
The bloody repression can indeed get a lot of rewards in a short period of time, for example, now that the Han Empire has imposed high taxes on Japan, no one dares to jump out and shout, forcibly pulling the young and strong of Japan into the army, and no one dares to say a word!
But the price of all this is the disapproval of the Han Empire deep in the hearts of the Japanese people and the slowly fermenting will to resist!
Mondora, who was silent for a long time, slowly said to Appado: "Japan is not as stable as it seems, and after the departure of the five standing divisions, it is necessary to reorganize at least one new standing division to deter Xiaoxiao. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Commander, the gap of 100,000 Japanese young people has not been filled, where are we going to pull people?"
A trace of fierceness flashed in Mondora's eyes, and he said firmly: "There are many places on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island that have not been affected by the war, so let's forcibly recruit young and strong from there, the Japanese standing army has been trained for a long time, and it is time to pull it out for some training, Apado, you take 5 Japanese standing divisions to Kyushu Shikoku to pull young and strong, anyway, we have to leave sooner or later, this time we will be ruthless!"
Well, the newly formed Japanese standing army can't pull people there, and the popular will there is not good for us, so let's discuss with the Tokugawa family, we will return part of the Tokugawa family's tax rights, and then recruit a group of farmers from their family territory to join the army. ”
War is a very effective means of depopulating, and the deaths of soldiers are often not large, and the real casualties are always innocent civilians!
As a result, the population, which was not valued by those in power before the war, is now an important 'strategic material'!
The peasants who forcibly expropriated the Tokugawa family's territory had no intention of making enemies with this more obedient agent, and for the sake of this profit, Mondora preferred to return some of the Tokugawa family's share of the tax, which was itself scraped from the Tokugawa family......
The most important thing is that as soon as Mondola leaves, the military power of the Han Empire in Japan will no longer be a monopoly, and the importance of the Tokugawa family will definitely be greatly enhanced!
Mondola was not worried about the Tokugawa family's rebellion, this civil war that helped to brutally suppress the local national heroes for the foreign imperialist forces, has made the reputation of the Tokugawa family in the people rotten anymore, without the support of the Han Empire, it is doubtful whether the Tokugawa family can sit in the position of the first shogunate of Japan......
In this way, with the issuance of the new quota of the Imperial General Staff, the Japanese people, who had been calm for less than a year, once again ushered in a storm of sorrow, and the soldiers of the Japanese Standing Army, like wolves and tigers, went from house to house, and the whole village and township were forced to pull strong men, loaded ships and left their homeland!
The most frustrating thing is that under the instructions of Mondora, Apardo secretly sent people to slaughter all the Japanese villages on the two islands of Kyushu Shikoku, which had almost no young and strong labor force, in order to prevent those resentful Japanese nationals from becoming supporters of future rebel forces!
The supplies went into Mondora's personal pocket, half of which was distributed by Mondola to the Tiger Wolf Marines on a massacre mission, and the remaining half became a guarantee for Mondora to continue to maintain a luxurious life when she returned to the Han Empire!
According to later statistics, during the period between Mondora's participation in the Japanese Civil War and his departure, the number of Japanese nationals who died directly or indirectly at his hands reached at least 3 million!
The population of Japan has been reduced by 30%!
This also laid the fuse for future outbreaks!
Of course, this is all an afterthought, when Mondora was working hard to complete the demographic indicators of Zhao Dutian, Zhao Dutian, who was sitting in the luxurious palace of Xinluoyang, was also worried about one thing!
Zhao Dutian was paying attention to the completion of the task of destroying Japan in his mind at this time!
Become the suzerainty of Japan, support the puppet forces, and directly control more than half of the number of soldiers in the actual forces controlled by the Japanese puppet regime, and indirectly control all the armies of the entire Japanese puppet regime!
These conditions have been met, but they cannot be achieved by completely abolishing the samurai system in Japan and eliminating the feudal regime in Japan......
Zhao Dutian, who only planned to import the population from Japan to expand the army and use it as a springboard, was not too urgent, but the increasingly severe form of Europe made Zhao Dutian's desire for breech guns increase day by day!
He also seriously discussed with the Imperial General Staff the practice of banning the feudal system and the spirit of bushido, and it was not difficult to ban the feudal system, and after the victory of the civil war, it was just an imperial decree of the emperor, and the daimyo of Japan who were blinded would never dare to resist......
However, without the distraction of the Japanese elite by the daimyo from all over the country, it is conceivable that without the hindrance of the feudal system, the latent power of Japan will all be directed at the brutal invaders of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Han Empire!
In addition, the daimyo samurai forces, who originally held a lot of wealth, would also hold a grudge against the Han Empire because they were deprived of their fundamental land rights......
It is not difficult to foresee that the rule of the Han Empire in Japan will be resisted by patriotic and indignant youths and Japanese elites!
This is not the most fatal, the elimination of the bushido spirit is not a matter of a few orders, it is a long-term bloody suppression process!
It is impossible for a samurai with a certain amount of force to willingly give up his honor and interests, and besides, the Tokugawa family and the Japanese standing army themselves have a large number of Japanese samurai!
It seems that there is not much difference between trying to destroy the bushido spirit of Japan and directly sending troops to destroy Japan......
If the Han Empire has the strength to completely destroy Japan, it will also raise a puppet!
Zhao Dutian was a little irritable and withdrew his attention from the task of destroying the sun, and secretly swore in his heart that when he survived this European war, he would definitely destroy Japan at all costs and develop that breech gun!
Hey, if it weren't for the surrounding European powers, why would I be so timid and guarded, the whole country would have been pressed up long ago......
Of course, this can only be an illusion, unless Zhao Dutian doesn't want the American mainland at all, otherwise, a French and a Spanish kingdom, and even the United Kingdom, can make the two most elite legions of the Han Empire, the Han Guards, unable to move!
Well, the framework of the 100,000 American Native Guard should have been formed.
In Zhao Dutian's contemplative gaze, a profundity flashed from time to time! (To be continued.) )
