It turns out that the wrong person Morishita found for himself is very unreliable.

Not only did the saber in his hand fall to the ground long ago, but he couldn't even speak loudly enough.

Zhu Fugui was stunned, this little man was the wrong person entrusted by Morishita.

Zhu Fugui has reason to believe that if he hadn't made his own move, Morishita would have died very uneasily.

The saber was stuck in the neck, and the intestines dragged around on the ground......

It's scary to think about.

However, when he heard the full name of Corporal Ito, Zhu Fugui was stunned again.

Hirobumi Ito......

Isn't this the prime minister of Bismarck in the Far East, who is the same as Li Hongzhang?

There are at least a dozen of the Eighth Wonder of the World, and there are also four or five in Bismarck in the Far East.

But there is no doubt that this guy Ito Hirobumi is a more veritable one, at least more reliable than our Li Zhongtang.

It's not that his ability is comparable to Li Zhongtang, it's really fateful.

Now that the population of Daming is large, and the number of troops is as high as 20,000, Zhu Fugui naturally can't remember everyone.

After Zhang Changgui's reminder, Zhu Fugui remembered that in the naturalization application submitted by the household department a while ago, there seemed to be a Japanese.

It's just that at that time, it was mainly for the meritorious Yin people to be naturalized, and Zhu Fugui didn't pay special attention to this Japanese.

Zhu Fugui asked his soldiers to put him down, and then asked, "You drop, Ito Hirobumi is working?" What is the relationship with the Chōshū feudal lord Mori-san? ”

Ito's Chinese is not yet barrier-free, and even if Zhu Fugui uses Japanese Chinese intimately, he still can't understand it.

Zhu Fugui had no choice but to order someone to bring a pen and paper to ask him questions and answers.

"The minister Ito Hirofumi is a disciple of the great sage Wang Yangming of the Ming Kingdom, a saint and a disciple, and he is by no means a Fusang and Yi ...... who do not know the power of heaven."

Ito Hirobumi's kanji is excellent, and he wrote a lot of it.

The main meaning is that I, like my boss, am not Japanese, but a student of the Ming Dynasty, and I am half a Ming person!

Inspired by Morishita, and Ito Hirofumi, who has seen the power of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, he has found a very good heel for himself, and he is somewhat reliable.

That is his teacher, Yoshida Shoin, who was beheaded by the shogunate five years ago because he was dissatisfied with the unequal treaties signed by the shogunate with the United States and Britain and other Western powers, and planned to assassinate high-ranking officials of the shogunate.

And Yoshida Shoyin, the name of the square, the word Yiqing, the number Shoyin, is the representative of Japanese Yangming psychology.

This person has practiced the theory of "the unity of knowledge and action" all his life, and he is also a complete Han element, and even his posthumous work before being captured and killed is called "Hewen Tianxiang Righteous Song".

And Ito Hirobumi, as a disciple of Yoshida Shoin, took the risk of collecting his bones and burying his bones after his teacher was beheaded, and he was justified by his deeds, which can be regarded as a moral model.

A few years later, Ito contacted a few classmates and other colleagues to set fire to the British Legation, in a sense, to fulfill his teacher's legacy.

In a word, although Ito has a short Japanese figure, I have a naked heart towards the Ming Dynasty, and the roots are red and the veins are clear.

In the face of Ito Hirofumi's perfect resume so far, Zhu Fugui couldn't find fault with it.

After all, Ito at this time was not the Oriental Bismarck who went to the United Kingdom, was broken by modern industry, and then had the idea of "leaving Asia and entering Europe", but came to the Ming Dynasty and was choked by the Daming combination Ecstasy Soup.

Another thing is that Ito Hirobumi is really a young talent who is respected and valued by Mori, the lord of the Choshu domain, as in history, and is quite courteous.

With Hirobumi Ito, it is easy to catch the line of the Choshu Domain.

Japan was sandwiched between the homeland of China and the American continent, and it was an unavoidable interest of the Ming Dynasty no matter what.

Zhu Fugui had considered cooperating with the shogunate before, but there was still no channel.

Now that I have a Hirofumi Ito, I can try to get in touch with the Mori family.

From the perspective of policy concepts, the Maori family, who was obsessed with the emperor and was beaten countless times, did not change his original intention, and even kidnapped the emperor, it can be said that he coincided with the Ming Dynasty, and there may be some opportunities for cooperation.

The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty is really short of women now, and the Choshu Domain, which is looking for foreigners and fighting with the shogunate every day, is sure that there are more women and fewer men in the territory, which is very suitable for friendship.

"Ito-kun, I see that you are thin and short, you really don't look like you can become a navy general, it is better to abandon the military and serve the court, I have an errand here, if you do it well, the benefits will be great!"

……

By the time the armoured agricultural vehicles of the 1st Brigade had crossed the river, it was already dark.

At this moment, the direction of Portland suddenly burst into flames.

This time it was not the fire set by the Ming Dynasty, but by the white colonists themselves.

Like the Armenians evacuated from the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the white colonists evacuated Portland overnight and burned it to the ground.

Zhu Fugui didn't have any heartache, this kind of wooden, unplanned western town was originally going to be demolished and rebuilt.

However, although they do not covet those houses, it does not mean that they are not interested in the gold and silver of those white refugees.

Since the other side wanted to slip away without even paying the money for the road, Zhu Fugui naturally would not be polite.

He immediately sent out cavalry units to catch slaves and collect taxes, while armored troops cut off the road to the south.

Before the war, Zhu Fugui and a group of military attachés analyzed that once the city of Portland was broken, these whites would have only two ways to escape, one was to go south into the San Francisco Greater Bay Area, and the other was to go east into the mountains of Idaho.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of people will choose to go south, which is what the Ming Dynasty does not want to see.

In Zhu Fugui's eyes, the land west of the Rocky Mountains is already surnamed Zhu, and they are absolutely not allowed to touch it.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be too troublesome for the armored troops to cross the river, Zhu Fugui would have planned to camp south of Portland early in the morning.

I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and he actually burned the city overnight and evacuated, without dragging his feet at all.

Zhu Fugui had a hunch that all this was likely to be the handiwork of the one-eyed dragon named Hoffman.

Fortunately, agricultural vehicles with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, although not very fast, are certainly much faster than the colonists who dragged their families and even drove mule, horses and donkey carts.

For a whole night, the red necks who went south handed over their lives, the red necks who went east paid money, and the two big nets of the Ming Dynasty were spread.

It's not very tight, but it's big enough to hold a large part of the population.

On the contrary, those who chose to go west and south along the coastline were not enough to control the Ming Dynasty.

In short, after a somewhat chaotic night, the situation became clear the next day.

Zhu Fugui and the main infantry entered the ruins of Portland and read the results of last night's battle.

Mo Bai's slave hunting team captured a total of 3,500 white slaves and collected transit taxes equivalent to 387,000 Dewu Baotong.

Qi Wenchang's armored brigade annihilated more than 5,000 well-trained armed elements who went south, ignored the warnings, and insisted on ramming the isolation belt, more than 1,900 ordinary armed elements without guns, and at the same time confiscated more than 10,000 guns, not counting all kinds of livestock.

In addition, more than 2,000 white school-age women who were oppressed by Western men's boxing were liberated, and after the labor reform in Huanyifang, they became the best of the Ming military sisters-in-law who could hold up half the sky.

After a short rest, Zhu Fugui ordered the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the 1st Brigade to go up the river and clean up the scattered white settlements in the upper reaches of the New Yellow River.

At this point, in Oregon, there is basically no military force that can threaten the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Xinlu Province has been recovered.

……

Although it is not to say that it was burned to the ground, there is no doubt that Portland City, or New Jinan, needs to be rebuilt.

But to tell the truth, the main purpose of Zhu Fugui's troops to occupy New Jinan was not to immigrate here and build a prosperous Xinji.

This is unrealistic, Fengdu is now short of population, how can he have the kung fu to immigrate to Xinji?

Give Xinji a blood transfusion?

Wrong, wrong, the reason why Daming wants to lay down this place is to suck blood!

Of course, it is impossible to suck blood without construction at all, first build, and then suck blood, beautiful juice.
