Chapter 430 - "Breeding Area"
The first expedition achieved a great victory, and such a result naturally made Tachibana Sadamune very excited. If anything, the guns of those battleships were so powerful that they were covered with ruins after a salvo.
In Tachibana Sadamune's view, these people who were killed and the houses that were blown up belonged to him, no, they should belong to the gods, and it was a waste to destroy them like this. However, the destruction has already been ruined, and it is a pity that it is useless at this time.
It's just that for the later battle plan, Tachibana Sadamune had to consider whether the tactics of using artillery salvos first and then sending troops to attack the city and seize the land were too tyrannical. You must know that the army of the Dao Dao has to spend money everywhere, and it is always good to save a little.
Fortunately, Tachibana Sadamune only took a slight pity and left this thought behind. Just kidding, since he is destined to become a person who dominates Fusang, how can he affect the entire battle situation because of this small profit, isn't it stupid.
In just ten days, Tachibana Sadamune, who was deeply aware of the essence of diplomatic strategy such as long-distance friendship and close merit, directly expanded his family's territory more than three times after conquering one "neighbor" after another and winning one big victory after another.
In the face of this fruitful result, Tachibana Sadamune, who was very excited in his heart, was not carried away by the winning streak. After achieving a phased victory and showing his strong strength, he did not continue to fight in one go, but stopped.
Although this winter, the strength of the Tachibana family has indeed swelled a lot. But expanding the territory by a full three times is not just a matter of everything being OK. There have to be enough people to manage, to rebuild, to run.
As the saying goes, it's easy to fight the country. It is difficult to defend the country.
Only when the fruits of these victories are truly "eaten" and "digested" can they be regarded as one's own. Otherwise, like a bear in a cornfield, it is refreshing to eat all the way, but later I find out that I picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon.
So, after achieving a phased victory, Tachibana Sadamune, who stopped the pace of the campaign, focused on taking care of these newly acquired territories, and on the other hand, wrapped in the power of a winning streak, began to start a new round of negotiations with those forces worthy of the alliance.
Even if Tachibana Sadazong knew that he had won the favor of the gods. It is a person who is destined to become a unified Fuso. And there are all kinds of divine help from the god of war. But he also knows that he does not have the strength to sweep the entire Fusang now.
Or to be more precise, it's okay to just go to war. Don't look at the fact that there are only twenty warships in hand at the moment, which is not a lot, but it can't stand that several shipyards are constantly building new ships, not to mention the big killer weapons such as artillery.
In the environment of an island country like Fuso. Even not all coasts are inhabited. Not all coasts are capable of landing. But it was only necessary to plow the ship around the entire island of Fuso. Even if we can't unify the whole island, it's pretty much the same.
But the problem is that if there are not enough people to manage and protect these places, a bad one is likely to end up making a wedding dress for others. Even if there is a divine favor, it is impossible to type it again and again.
So. After temporarily stopping the pace of the battle, while those forces were "frightened" by the strong strength they showed, Tachibana Sadamune began to take out the family's administrative management methods that were instructed by the gods.
Thanks to the previous winter, the Tachibana family not only trained a large number of soldiers, but also selected suitable candidates through recruitment, examinations and other means, and carefully cultivated a group of "administrative management" talents.
After these people rushed to the territory under their jurisdiction with soldiers who were strong enough to hold the results of the war, they began to count the losses after the war, clean up the local heroes and bandits, reorganize the local situation, and promote new crops with short growth cycles and high yields. At the same time, it did not forget to issue a recruitment order to recruit more soldiers.
These sources of troops will naturally not be sent to the frontline battlefield before they have undergone training, but they can be used as a local military force. Moreover, while assisting those administrative personnel to maintain local law and order, it can also play a role in military training.
With the implementation of various policies to reassure the people and promote development implemented by the Tachibana family on their own territory, coupled with the vast and sparsely populated area and the peculiarities of the social form on the Fuso side, the territory that was taken down was taken over quite smoothly.
Not only did they not find any problems such as popular uprisings, but the people's attitudes towards those policies and recruitment orders were relatively positive. Especially when those free new crop seeds were put down, it bought a lot of people's hearts.
As the saying goes, there is no stability without farming, no wealth without work, and no life without business.
After the agricultural problem was solved, Zheng Chenggong, as the head of the internal affairs, immediately took advantage of the routes opened up under the protection of the three-masted warship to transport a large amount of goods to these newly occupied territories, and at the same time brought a large number of people.
In fact, population has always been an inevitable factor restricting the development of human society in ancient times. Although it is not that a large number of people does mean that a country is strong, if there is not enough population, it is a question whether a country can hold on, let alone develop and grow.
The source of these populations was partly the common people who had "hooked" themselves from other areas of Fuso through policies such as relocating new land to obtain land, while the other part was slaves and artisans who spent money to purchase large quantities from the Tang Dynasty and Silla.
There are even some people from Turkic, Khitan, Uighur and Tibetan places, and since Fuso will become a similar "breeding area", this kind of ethnic integration is not a bad thing but a good thing.
After all, the Fuso people are short and thin in size and shape, and to some extent, they are congenital deficiencies. With these foreign populations, especially those races that are born strong, after the "hybridization" of blood, they can always breed a better human race.
Moreover, as the number of foreign people increases, there will be fewer and fewer purebred Fuso people. One day, Fuso is bound to become history. And in the future of Datang time and space, naturally there will be no more Japanese.
At the beginning, Li Anran chose Fusang as his first overseas territory, but it was never for any good purpose. If it weren't for the fact that Fusang in this time and space has not done anything that is indignant to the good people and gods in the future, it is estimated that it would have been extinct long ago.
Seeing that the first expedition on the Tachibana family's side has come to an end, the results are quite gratifying. After seeing that the post-war internal affairs work was carried out in an orderly manner, Li Anran, who was concerned about the whole scene, took Su Xiaomei back to Liuqiu Island.
Unlike the first time they landed on Liuqiu Island, before the two of them flew back to the island, they could see a magnificent, sacred and solemn palace standing on the top of the highest elevation of the entire island, Yushan Mountain.
In order to build this shrine, Li Anran had to flatten the top of the entire mountain with the help of various equipment provided by the multi-purpose exploration spacecraft, and then use the stones mined from all over the world realm of the Tang Dynasty to build it.
At the same time, the architectural style is not purely oriental, but combines the advantages of Eastern and Western architecture. If modern people can get here, they will be able to see traces of Greek, Egyptian, and Indian temples from this palace of the god of war.
In order to make this God of War Palace more in line with the identity of the God of War, in addition to the magnificent and sacred and solemn shape, the mountain peak occupied by the God Palace has also been processed, and the cliffs surrounding it on all sides directly seal the upper and lower passages.
Of course, this is not to say that the shrine cannot be entered and exited. It's just that ordinary people don't want to get in and out. The mountains surrounding the highest peak of Yushan were not wasted, and were all transformed into habitable places for humans according to the mountain topography and environment.
Anyone who is able to live in these places will be protected by the shrine. There will be no war, no disaster, no hunger, not even disease. In a way, this place is about the same, if not as good as the legendary Garden of Eden.
It's a pity that not everyone is qualified to live in these places called the city of gods. (To be continued......)
