859 Ship North

Once the Ryukyu war machine is started, it will naturally burst out with an unstoppable momentum. Countless warehouses have opened the door, and logistics officials mobilize supplies from the list signed by the officials.

The brand new military uniform, the Mauser, which was just opened and covered with butter, and the boxes of bullets were loaded into the carriage and transported out, not to mention the latest individual rations, canned meat, milk, chocolate candies and strong wine that are indispensable for fighting in the cold zone.

In the end, the war is about logistics, and in the end it is about the comprehensive strength of a country. Xiao Letian certainly knows that Ryukyu's strength is not as strong as Russia, but Xiao Letian knows that his strength is above the Russian army in the Far East.

Before the completion of the Siberian Railway, it would take more than half a year to transfer troops from Europe to the Far East. Besides, the Aguber rebellion in Xinjiang also attracted a large number of Russian troops. The army and navy in the Far East have only been more than 3,000 people, and the warships are the oldest models for more than ten days.

If you can't afford this little force, Xiao Letian simply abandon all his ambitions and honestly go to North America and South America to be a rich man.

Mr. Long and Sister Wu boarded the ship from Guotou Military Port with more than a dozen guards all the way north. Before leaving, everyone sprinkled a glass of wine at the statue of Guotou Water Ghost. If it weren't for the Guotou Water Ghost's life, Ryukyu would have been destroyed by the French.

The national water ghost has now become a totem of the Ryukyu Navy, symbolizing the spirit of fighting to the death.

"Brothers who ascended to heaven first, I'm going to fight. Please protect our martial arts fortune for a long time."

The business route from Ryukyu to Japan is very safe. The island chain here leads to Kyushu Island. The telegram line can be connected with Ryukyu Fusang at any time. The powerful Ryukyu navy dispels all pirates, and the merchants have no worries at all.

There is no need to worry about the violent hurricanes in the Pacific every summer. Many shelter docks have been built on this island chain, and ships can be rescued here.

The boat headed north and did not stop when passing by Kyushu and Shikoku. Although the Shimazu family and Yamauchi family both sent envoys to invite Mr. Long to come ashore for a drink, they were all politely rejected.

Master Long knew the thoughts of these daimyos very well. All Japanese daimyos have focused on more than a thousand commission orders on him. This is a thousand opportunities.

Japanese samurai were never afraid of war. What they feared the most was that there was no war to fight. The 200-year rule of the shogunate allowed the Japanese archipelago to enjoy the long-lost peace, but for the samurai, such a day was hell.

The entire Japanese class has become rigid. Whatever you were born and what you were dead, and the room for promotion for talent flowing upward has been completely locked down.

Back then, Ryuma Sakamoto just wanted to leave the vassal and go to the world by himself, which almost killed the whole family. If it weren't for countless friends who pleaded with each other, Ryuma's sister would not have survived now. In this way, one of Ryuma's sisters was forced to death. That was the real samurai class. It is conceivable how miserable the wild samurai at the bottom would have lived.

In fact, Xiao Letian himself did not expect that after raising the banner in Ryukyu, the one who was most excited was not the Chinese but the Japanese, countless wild samurai, pirates, thieves, ninjas... and even children of famous and surnamed families rushed towards Ryukyu like crazy.

What they pursue is actually just an opportunity to improve, especially Prime Minister Xiao has always been both civil and military, and he has not said that he is discriminating against anyone. As long as he has a fair environment, there are many people who are not afraid of death.

The information about Mr. Long going north to Fusang was about to select a thousand samurai, which has now spread in southern Japan. Major names gathered young talents from the family and tried every means to grab more places.

If a family wants to last forever, they cannot live in vain forever. The territory designated by the shogunate is only a little bit high. Even if they work hard, they will have limits. If they don’t work hard to create new living space, there will be no future for a family.

The stories of Noheita and Hitotaro have become a legend in Japan, inspiring countless young Japanese samurai.

A ronin swordsman and a Ryukyu pariah, but he received the opportunity given by Prime Minister Xiao, and now he has become the leader of the sword drawing team and even went to Europe to kill.

Those people even obtained their own land in the Qing Dynasty. Although the land was not much and they did not have the right to operate, the property rights were very clear.

You can get a full military salary every month and get the output from the land every autumn. This kind of life is already a paradise for those Japanese samurai. Unfortunately, Ryukyu does not give many opportunities, and the elite military policy cannot satisfy those samurai who are trying to make progress.

I won’t mention those little lords like local tyrants. Now even the four major vassals of Maori, Shimazu, Kuroshima and Yamauchi have all thrown olive branches to Lord Long. Small boats with invitations are moored on the sea, waiting for Lord Long to arrive.

He was very upset all the way. At first, Master Long was interested in negotiating a few words, but later there were too many invitations. He could only order the ship to speed up and head north. He was preparing to get ashore in Osaka and secretly enter Fusang.

Whether Mr. Long likes Sister Wu or not, it is related to the success or failure of the task. At the critical moment, he still has to ask Sister Wu. Sister Wu did not show jealousy, and she said calmly.

"The situation in Japan is very complicated. Based on the special nature of this mission, I would like to make two suggestions. One is that we must choose samurai from Northern Japan. They can easily adapt to combat in the high-altitude areas. Second, we try to choose samurai from foreign masters..."

"What, what a big name?" Master Long asked in confusion.

"After Tokugawa Ieyasu unifies Japan, the world's daimyo was divided into three categories: relatives, prose, prose, and prose daimyo... Among them, prose and prose daimyo were relatives of the Tokugawa family, and prose daimyo was the Warring States daimyo that stood firmly in the Tokugawa family's Warring States daimyo..."

"Waisuan Daming was the daime who finally came to Toyotomi Hidera during the Battle of Seihara. After the defeat, he had to surrender the daime of the Tokugawa family. Wasuan Daming was the most unsuccessful in the shogunate. For two hundred years, their territory was not only remote but also mostly monitored... So this time the downfall operation was the most fiercer.

"Shimazu, Maori is a typical exotic daimyo..."

Master Long frowned and muttered, "You can survive if you lose the battle. The world's change of dynasties has to wipe out the forces of the previous dynasty, and it's still so troublesome..."

Sister Wu was angry when she heard this, "Fusang is not China. We don't have so many lives to ruin... Only you Chinese are so perverted in the world. Will the losers have no way out?"

"If Japan changes dynasty like your China, how many people can Japan remain? Answer me."

The little ghost Mizuho looked at Master Long with a cold face, his eyes covered with a layer of water vapor.

Note: The third update is now, and it is now the twelfth lunar month. There are so many things and I am busy. I don’t have enough time to write. For the sake of updates, I’ve been getting higher in my blood pressure these days, and my low pressure has soared to 120. What a terrible thing.
