A few days later, the fleet arrived on Kume Island, Ryukyu City.

This was also the first time that Li Jian set foot on this land, and he had seen the monarch's evaluation of the Ryukyus in the Huaxia Daily.

The monarch called Ryukyu the unsinkable gateway to the north and the land of honey.

Although this is a newly expanded place, as soon as you get off the boat, you immediately feel a sense of familiarity.

On Kume Island, whether it is the red brick house, or the raised star spike flag, and the short hair and short clothes on the street, it is just like in Eastern Qin.

Li Jian was granted a day off to move freely around Kume Island and Naha Port.

With the mentality of hunting for curiosity, he and He Zuwang began to tour around Kume Island.

At the place where the initial landing was made, a monument was erected at this time, detailing the liberation of the people of the Ryukyus by the Huaxia Kingdom.

Together with He Zuwang, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the monument, as well as the boundary monument on the side.

In the past, they only saw the description of boundary monuments and monuments in the newspapers, but now they finally see the real thing.

After the two of them did this, they both felt very meaningful, and they really wanted to engrave their names on it.

"Eh, Xiao Li, Xiao He. You don't go into the city to have fun? Just as the two were about to visit the site of the old city that had been shelled, a group of veterans on board stopped them.

Li Jian smiled brightly and said, "I'll go here after shopping!"

"What's there to see here, let's go, buddy will take you to see it!" A few veterans laughed as they spoke.

Li Jian and He Zuwang hesitated for a while, and just as they wanted to refuse, they were pulled into the team by the veterans who had started with it.

The group rushed into the "city" of Kumejima's eastern district, which was just a gathering place for a small market.

Far from the barracks, very close to the port, there are quite a few restaurants and inns, as well as some small shops.

Li Jian and He Zuwang were a little confused, because after the veterans entered the city, they walked directly to a remote corner.

When they got closer, the two teenagers immediately turned red and red, and they couldn't move their feet.

It's a half-closed door! There was a crisp and pleasant humming sound coming from inside.

A veteran pushed Li Jian with his arm: "What's the matter?" It's a nice place, isn't it? Today you two are free, old buddies are in for a treat! ”

"No...... No! Li Jiantou shook into a rattle, "I'm not going!" It's not good, it's violated...... Discipline? ”

"Violation of the discipline of a fart!" A veteran laughed and said, "It is forbidden to flirt and insult women in discipline, but you and I want to do it here!" And this building, you have to pay taxes! ”

Li Jian didn't know much about this, there were no brothels in Eastern Qin, and there was no decree from the government to recognize the legality of Fengyue places, but it did not indicate that Fengyue places were illegal.

In fact, whether it is in the Ming Customs, Japanese ports, or Ryukyu ports, these Fengyue places exist by default.

Kume Island in the Ryukyus was the first place to appear this kind of half-closed door, and after the cadres reacted, Yan Zheng waved his hand: no publicity, no publicity, no banning, and heavy taxes, and he also formulated a policy of employee registration, so that the cadres of each port should follow this rule.

In Yan Zheng's writing, prostitutes become special service workers, and they have to file and pay taxes every month.

If it is tax evasion, then the qualification will be cancelled and heavy fines will be imposed.

And every six months, barefoot doctors will be sent to conduct health examinations on these special service practitioners to ensure that all kinds of bad hidden diseases will not break out on a large scale.

Li Jian blushed and wanted to turn around and leave, but the laughter of the veterans and the humming and screaming inside made him feel messy.

He Zuwang grabbed the crotch of his pants, and he didn't have an idea, so he waited for Li Jian to show him the way.

A veteran's eyebrows fluttered, and immediately a few people got started, half-pushing and half-pulling to bring the two into the building.

Inside...... It's a different world, cubicles, and women standing at the door, some of them are wearing only thin shirts, and some are wearing more solemn ones.

When they saw the comers, these women immediately surrounded them attentively.

Li Jian was frightened by this oncoming situation, and he was sent to a cubicle by a veteran.

A girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, knelt at his feet.

"You...... Hello! She spoke with a Japanese accent.

Li Jian said strangely: "Are you a widow?"

"I ...... Your words...... Only a little! The girl smiled awkwardly, obviously not understanding what Li Jian said.

Seeing that Li Jian didn't know how to start, she immediately got up and served.

……

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Jian ran out of the door, and He Zuwang was already waiting outside the door.

The two looked at each other as if nothing had happened.

What they don't know is that most of the widows who can run out to do this business are brought in by Hakata businessmen, a Japanese female Lu family.

Just like in the Meiji period of another period, many Japanese women went to the South Seas, and many said that they were earning foreign exchange for the country.

In fact, it was a poor woman who couldn't survive, and was sent to Nanyang to work as a prostitute with the help and purchase of merchants.

The money earned is exploited by the businessman and then sent home, which seems to be righteous, but in fact, it is just that the bottom can't survive.

And in Japan at the moment, except for the people of Kyushu, who are living a little better, the rest of the land is mostly broken farmers.

The Hakata merchants could not compete in other aspects, so they started their old business of making a fortune and sent many women to Eastern Qin.

Because they cooperated very well and were great people, they obtained permission to open Fengyue in Japanese ports, Daming Kaigang Port and Ryukyu Port, and the cooperation with Dongqin was considered to complement each other.

…………

Three days later, the Osumi Islands.

These two islands, located at the southern tip of Kyushu, are the same size as the main island of the Ryukyus.

The island has a thick layer of volcanic ash, and the land is very fertile.

It's just that the current degree of development is still very low, and the biggest reason is the lack of water conservancy facilities.

This is also because most of the lords only care about exploitation and are not willing to build at all.

Li Jian stood at the bow of the boat, and he had no right to use the telescope, so he could only see a big black dot in the distance.

As the black dot grew larger and larger, the bronze bell on the ship began to rattle.

One by one, the officers and men of the navy immediately took action, maneuvering the sails, opening the cannon windows, and measuring the range.

The fleet formation has also changed to the transport ships on the inside and the combat ships on the outside, presenting a "Chuan" formation.

The banner soldiers also kept transmitting signals, reporting while transmitting messages: "Eight kilometers away, continue to move at full speed, measure the depth of the water......"

"The depth of the water, the depth of the 03 area is five .8 meters, and the defense force is unknown!"

"The depth of the water, the depth of the 06 area is 6.8 meters, the beach is unobstructed, there is no defensive force, and there is no anti-landing force!"

……

Soon, the commander-in-chief of the fleet on this trip made the decision to let the army land in the 06 area.

The entire fleet also immediately changed formations, showing a "goose" formation, with the combat ships escorting the transport ships, approaching the 06 area, and the guns were aimed at the shore.

With the order, the boats were lowered on each transport ship, and the army soldiers climbed off the boat one by one through a rope net.

Li Jian, who was ordered to hide behind the cabin, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene.

The picture is extremely orderly and spectacular, and the little person is like an ant wriggling up and down in front of the transport ship.

And as soon as they jumped into the boat, they began to row wildly.

A boat with about 30 people immediately put on guard after going ashore, and the sappers immediately loaded sacks with sediment and began to construct defensive positions.

After all the land forces have landed, the entire fleet can safely bypass.

Some civilians on the island found out about the situation here, but they did not react at all except for horror, and the defenders on the island also lacked the awareness of anti-landing.

As the fleet moved into a suitable position, the ship's guns began to wield.

Shells flew into Tanegashima's only port, causing a great panic.

There are only a dozen defenders here!

And when the attention of the whole island was attracted to the port, a burst of gunfire erupted from behind it.

As several flares were fired into the sky, the navy immediately began a general attack.

Li Jian looked at the cooperation of the navy and army, and only felt that this battle was too easy!

By the time the port had been captured, the army had regrouped and unloaded the heavy artillery with horses.

During this time, a group of defenders on horseback came to spy on them from a distance.

But before they could go back to report the news, they were knocked down by the pursuing Huaxia Army scout cavalry with rifled guns.

Li Jian looked at a boundary monument that was hoisted from the boat, and only felt that the blood all over his body was surging.

A star spike flag was also slowly raised in the national anthem performance of the military band.

This is conquest? Is this the expansion of territory?
