Sado Island, which is under the rule of Shinsaki Prefecture in modern society, has an area of 857 square kilometers and a population of about 88,000, making it the sixth largest island in Toei. And it is the target that Lin Xin's Xinghan will choose. The reason why I chose this place is that since 1600, Sado Gold Mine has been discovered on Sado Island. At its peak in the 17th century, it is said that Sado Kanayama was the world's largest gold producer, and it was the backbone of the shogunate's finances for 300 years, producing nearly 40 tons of gold per year at its peak.

If it is the company's machinery and equipment, this output will be doubled, and the specific number of times depends on the workers and the specific mine environment. With Sado Kanayama, the Kohan Society had enough funds to continue its revolutionary cause. Revolution is not a dinner party, and Huaguo Taizu's words are 100% correct. Whether it is to develop ideas and doctrines, or to train an armed army, it needs sufficient money, and if the Xinghan Society wants to succeed, it must have a stable source of money.

What's more, Lin Xin started the idea of the miners here. Under the repressive rule of the shogunate, these miners did not even have basic human rights, and they worked hard every day to get only food that could not be starved to death, not even a decent piece of clothing, or even basic rest time. Heavy physical labor makes people die every day in the gold mines. If that's the case, the point is that they can't get out of this kind of place, and their children and grandchildren will have to continue to live like this.

The shogunate was definitely not an enlightened socialist government, and the Toei people were also such a character, and they could scare everyone in this world if they were ruthless. Xiao Lin stuffed many things into Lin Xin, one of which was that the oppressed working class was the absolute main force of the revolution. Lin Xin was sure that as the Xinghan Society that saved them from hell, he would definitely be able to get the gratitude of these miners. Coupled with the good life they provide, which has been brainwashed by revolutionary ideas, it won't be long before he can at least have more than 5,000 qualified fighters.

Even if it doesn't work, selling these miners to Xiao Lin is a good price. For these miners, Xiao Lin also offered a large price. For Huaxia, Xiao Lin has no heart to touch. Huaxia is a pool of deep water, and ordinary people can't try it at all. Xiao Lin, whether it is his identity or behavior, can never be recognized by the landlords and scholars in the land of China. Now is not the era of people's wisdom and enlightenment, the people will only follow these people to act blindly, if Xiao Lin occupies this place, I don't know how many years it will take to quell the rebellion.

In this case, it is better to look for a more suitable target. As an ancient civilization, many resources have been mined scarcely, especially copper. Oil is not very easy to exploit with the company's technical conditions. Precious metal mines, many companies do not use them for the time being, but other places are not absent. Compared with China, the countries in other places are not much larger, and they are better to occupy. The rule of power, even the genocide Xiao Lin doesn't care, and he is not afraid of not being able to suppress the people below.

Dong Ying, in particular, was in the first queue of Xiao Lin's capture list. First of all, it is not very far away, and secondly, because of the chaotic war of the shogunate, continuous internal friction, and the strength is not very strong. Their proud samurai spirit is vulnerable to the automatic firepower of the kingdom. Relying on the samurai spirit, they could not defeat the rice and the Soviets in World War II, not to mention that their current weapons are not as good as before World War I, but the weapons of the kingdom surpassed those in the late stage of World War II.

Dongying people's nature is good at obeying the strong, and when he beats his father and shouts his mother, he will treat you like his own father in the future. The Dongying Islands are rich in gold and silver, which is also a huge supplement to the kingdom's finances. These miners, take them and train them well, and when they are put back, they can help the kingdom attack the city and plunder the land, so as to raze and raze. Therefore, Xiao Lin also agreed to attack Sado Island. Sado Island is not defenseless, there is a Xiangchuan Castle on it, which is managed well by the shogunate (the history of Toei is not easy to check, so it is fictitious, and Xiaoxiao can't help it, please forgive me).

It was originally a small ruined city, but after this period of development, it can be regarded as a medium-sized city. There are also more than 10,000 people living in it, of which the shogunate's army is 3,000, of course, most of them are cheap ashigaru, and the number of samurai is relatively small. The samurai of Dongying are about the same status as the knights of the European Middle Ages, and the treatment is just a little worse. And in the gold mines, there were also a thousand troops, mainly to suppress the miners and prevent riots.

The walls of Aikawa Castle are seven meters high, and the width is unknown, but there are a total of 30 large and small cannons on them. Of course, they are all backward front-loading bronze cannons, European cannons, self-made earthen cannons, and even the red-coated cannons of the Qing Dynasty. The standard and caliber of artillery shells are not uniform, and the combat effectiveness is really limited. The shogunate's 4,000 ashibashi, including 200 cavalry, were fairly well armoured. The remaining iron cannons are light, and there are only fifteen hundred in number.

The iron cannon is Dongying's own imitation of the European musket, with a large caliber and a large weight. But it has to be said that its power, range and security have far surpassed the muskets of the Qing Dynasty. The muskets of the Qing Dynasty were inherited from the Ming Dynasty. However, the poor performance of the Ming musket on the battlefield made the Manchus who admired brute force despise it extremely much, and they never even thought of continuing to study it. Let's not mention these for now, after the iron cannon ashigaru, it is the simplest spear ashigaru that is not even complete in armor, and it is basically cannon fodder.

Lin Xin is different, although he only has 3,000 people in his hands, and 1,000 of them have to stay in Huaxia just in case. However, the 2,000 people, all of whom used the company's improved Hall M1819 rifle, had reached the level of the initial bolt-type mature rifle. In terms of artillery, it was even more comprehensively crushed, with twenty heavy fists and ten heavy fists and two punches, which were enough to collapse the walls of Xiangchuan Castle and defeat their cavalry.

Moreover, behind them there was a fleet of thirty warships sent by Igik. This time, Izuk did not lead the team personally, he was self-aware and knew that he was old and would eventually retire. Therefore, he also began to train the younger generation of naval officers. This time, the fleet was led by two of the best young officers, one Adam, a very talented civilian navy in the British fleet. During his service, he learned the skills of most of the people on the ship, but because of his bloodline, he was never promoted.

The other is Igic's second son, Cameron. Cameron had been suppressed by his eldest brother before, and if it weren't for Shawlin, he might have had to disguise himself with a playboy appearance for the rest of his life. Later, he joined the army with Igic, but his brother did not. Cameron can finally show his talent unscrupulously in the army, because he is protected by the army, and if his eldest brother dares to go against him, some people will clean up his eldest brother.

Cameron is the only one to have graduated from the naval officer training course with honors in all subjects and is now a lieutenant colonel. Igic gave up his eldest brother for him, and invested all his resources here, wanting to train him to become the second admiral of the family. Cameron as the commander and Adam as the political commissar, with twenty converted ocean-going clippers, three converted sail cruisers, one converted sail battleship, and six submarine hunters, arrived at a pirate off the coast of Fujian.

Without alarming the Qing Dynasty sailors, he brought the two thousand Xinghanhui soldiers here and went to Sado Island together. When they arrived, it was early morning on Sado Island. The people in Aikawa City also woke up to the sound of roosters. Some of the samurai also woke up in the geisha house, ending yesterday's madness and entering their posts with false steps. The ashigaru were kicked out of the barracks by the samurai, picked up their weapons, and began to leave the barracks as well, to see which profiteers could extort a little extra money from today,

Suddenly, a rapid bell rang out, and the harbor in the distance suddenly became unusually noisy. The sound of the bell alarmed the samurai commanders of the castle in Aikawa, and he picked up a telescope that he had finally gotten and looked over. Then, his body froze. The people below could hear the alarm, but they couldn't see what was going on, and they were all in a hurry.

"Mikami-sama, what the hell is going on?"

At this time, the samurai commander Yukami Mikami reacted from the shock. He saw thirty ships that were completely unfamiliar, and he couldn't even be sure they were ships if it weren't for the warriors on them with weapons that looked like muskets. He himself deduced that those thin and narrow steel pipes were also a kind of artillery. So many people, so many ships, coming here, is certainly not a friendly visit. Yuto Mikami couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether this little army in his hand could confront the yellow warriors who had different weapons.

He had even guessed where these people came from, it was impossible for Goryeo to have this strength at all. It can only be Huaxia, and they are still very afraid of Huaxia now.

"Enemy attack! It's the enemy, it's the enemy from the Qing Dynasty. I've seen them, they're all weapons I haven't seen before, but they're certainly not small. ”

"...... Uproar"

Hearing Yuto Mikami's words, the samurai and ashigaru below were almost scared to death. They felt a sense of despair at the thought of fighting a huge empire with a population more than a dozen times their population and an army more than a dozen times their own. What's more, Yuto Mikami also said that they all brought new weapons. If it weren't for the great power of Yuren Mikami and the shogunate behind him, they might have already started to escape. Yuto Mikami recovered and immediately organized his men to prepare for defense.
