The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 744
Fusang, the garrison camp.

Ran Wuzheng, Marshal of the Liaodong Theater, called the generals to discuss matters in the marshal's tent.

"Chief of Staff, tell me about the recent harassment by the British." Ran Wuduan sat on the head and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Marshal, and generals, according to the latest statistics, the British have appeared 23 times in the past two months, including 19 exchanges of fire with our navy. The navy killed 56 people and injured 47 people. British casualties The situation is unknown, because our army’s current battlefield speed is not as fast as that of the British, and there is no way to catch up and check the results of the battle. Moreover, most of our army’s casualties were caused by the British’s new continuous-fire muskets.” The chief of staff reported in a deep voice.

"What about the other four times?" someone asked.

"Those four times were when our army's observation posts discovered the British warships in time, and our army's coastal defense guns fired in time to repel the British."

"That means our army can only be beaten passively now? When the British come, we can only be beaten, unable to fight, and unable to catch up? This battle is really useless."

"When did our Daqin army fight such a useless battle? It's really depressing!"

After hearing this, several quick-tempered generals began to complain loudly.

The chief of staff didn't say a word, Ran Wu glanced at the complaining people, and scolded: "What are you talking about, no one can survive in a war. Your Majesty has reminded you a long time ago, don't always act like I am invincible .God is fair. We are making progress and becoming stronger. Don’t we allow others to become stronger? If you suffer a little bit of setbacks, this is a virtue, and you can still count on you to expand the territory for His Majesty in the future?”

Ran Wu's prestige in the army is very high, when he reprimanded him, none of them dared to say anything, they hurriedly got up and said: "The general lost his composure for a while, please punish him by the marshal!"

"Ten army sticks per person, after you go down, go to the Military Law Office to receive them yourself." Ran Wu said coldly.

"The last general obeys the order!" Several people hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

"Chief of staff, if you have any other information, continue." After the tent became quiet again, Ran Wu said to the chief of staff.

"Yes. The navy does not have any information. It's just that the Department of Shipbuilding has reported some information, and the general finds it unusual." The chief of staff said in a deep voice.

"Market Secretary?" Ran Wu asked, frowning slightly.

After Tokugawa Hidechu was defeated in North Korea, the Qin army landed in Fusang not long after.The main force of the Fusang Army died in the First World War in North Korea, and those left behind in the country were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were totally vulnerable.

The Daqin army quickly occupied the entire territory of Fusang with almost no effort, and then quickly supported a child of the Fusang royal family to become the emperor, and supported some local daimyo to the top, so that the order of Fusang quickly stabilized.

Whether it is the new emperor or a local daimyo, they are nothing but the puppet of Daqin.

If they know each other and work hard to cooperate, Daqin certainly doesn't mind letting them drink some soup. If they don't have power, they can enjoy wealth.

If you don't cooperate, and instead have some thoughts that you shouldn't have, then it's a big deal to change someone else.

When Daqin first occupied Fusang, the ministers and generals were a little worried that it would cause resistance from the Fusang people, but they soon found that this worry was unnecessary.

These Fusang people have no concept of family and country at all, and their creed is to submit to the strong.As long as they have food to eat, they can show obedience and respect far beyond people's imagination.

Even when the Daqin army was patrolling the streets, the passing Fusang people would take the initiative to kneel down and watch them leave.

When the army built the barracks, some Fusang people were conscripted to work, and they were given a little food. Everyone was very grateful, and they made a big publicity after returning.

With all these things, the Daqin soldiers who watched it at first were dumbfounded.Over time, I also understood the bullying character of the Fusang people.

As long as you hurt them and scare them, not only will they not regard you as an enemy, but they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts.

These things spread to Jiang Chuan's ears, and Jiang Chuan took it for granted.Because in his perception, Fusang people have always had this kind of virtue.

For example, the Japanese in the previous life were defeated in World War II. The Americans dropped two atomic bombs and bombed their hometown, and they were stationed by the Americans after the war.

The Americans are stationed in Japan, but Japan has to bear the cost of the troops.Moreover, the US garrison in Japan can be said to be domineering and domineering. There are not too many things like killing people and abusing women.

However, the Japanese government often did not dare to trouble the US military, and in the end it was nothing.

These things are definitely a huge shame for a country.

But the Japanese not only have no hatred for the Americans, but have been following the United States like pugs and begging for mercy.

On the contrary, it always adopts a hostile and contemptuous attitude towards China, another victorious country.

Both are victorious countries, but the attitude of the Japanese is completely different.

What is the reason?The most fundamental reason is that the Japanese think that it is the Americans who defeated them, not the Chinese.

That's why there were constant disputes between the two countries after the war.

Closer to home, after learning about the character of the Fusang people, Jiang Chuan ordered the deployment of Fusang people from all over Fusang to form an auxiliary defense army, let Daqin soldiers serve as officers, and use Fusang people to govern the Fusang people, so that more troops can be released for peripheral defense.

At the same time, all the Fusang people were compiled into books, and strong laborers were drawn to form various coolie teams to carry out mining, fishing, farming, logging and other matters. The resources collected by these Fusang people were continuously transported to Daqin by sea ships, almost No cost.

There are even many Fusang people who were transported to Daqin to do all kinds of the hardest and most tiring jobs.

Although their income is very meager, there are still a large number of Fusang people flocking to Daqin.

Under such circumstances, Shibo Division also established a branch in Fusang.It is mainly responsible for the trade affairs between foreign ships and Fusang country.

Among them is the trade with the primitive tribes on the islands in the waters around Fusang.

Since the price given by Shibo is fair and will not be shoddy, they are more friendly to these primitive tribes. As the news spreads, more and more primitive tribes come to trade.

According to the past rules, these primitive tribes will come to concentrate on trade on the last three days of each month, and exchange the furs of wild animals in their hands, or some strange handmade products for salt, iron, wine and other daily necessities.

It's just that the Shibo Secretary found that the number of primitive tribes who came to trade in the past two months has decreased a lot, and there are fewer and fewer, so he reported this situation to the garrison headquarters.

After the chief of staff explained the situation, many people didn't understand the problem, but Ran Wu had already thought of the problem.

Obviously, there was an irresistible external force, which caused these primitive tribes not to trade.

Then the most likely external factor is the British.

　Thanks to the starting point book friend "XHCH" for the two generous rewards.
