Chapter 424 Agent(2/2)
What's more, Japan's current population is more than 30 times that of California. It is unrealistic to rely on the number of troops stationed in Japan to maintain its interests in Japan.
Supporting agents is the most cost-effective method.
"You mean to support the vassal who is close to us and act as our horse-fronted dogs? Maintain Japan's current fragmented state." Deng Yan quickly reacted.
"It is precisely a divided and weak Japan that is a good Japan.
You said when the British devils attacked our Guangdong, did you hate the British devils more, or the traitors who led the way for the British devils?" Liang Yao asked.
"Of course they are those traitors," Deng Yan blurted out.
This is a good idea. As long as the Japanese feudal lords who are pro-American are supported, these Japanese feudal lords will be able to share a lot of pressure for them.
The most important thing is that this method saves money.
As for whether a civil war would break out in Japan, Deng Yan believed that Liang Yao had the same idea as him and wished that a civil war would break out in Japan.
"I don't want to support a loser, but I want to be my dog. This vassal has to be a strong vassal, and it has to be absolutely obedient to me. Is there such a vassal?"
With that said, Liang Yao got on the carriage and asked Deng Yan if he had a suitable agent.
After Deng Yan sat down, he thought for a moment, then stroked his forehead and said, "It really does exist!"
"Who?" Liang Yao asked curiously.
"Hizen Saga Domain, Nabedao is straight, do you remember this person?" Deng Yan replied.
"How could you not remember that when we first arrived in Japan, he was the first person we beat up?" Liang Yao said with a smile.
Deng Yan continued: "The Saga Domain was one of the strongest vassals before the founding of Japan. After the founding of the country, the situation of the Saga Domain became very bad due to the signing of the Treaty of Nagasaki with us.
Unlike other clans, the Saga clan not only had to share the indemnity in the "U.S.-Japan Friendship Treaty", but also had to pay a separate compensation of one million taels in the "Nagasaki Treaty" and bear the huge study expenses of students studying in the United States.
The Saga Domain has repeatedly requested that the one million taels of silver indemnity in the Treaty of Nagasaki be incorporated into the Treaty of Goodwill between the United States and Japan, and that all the vassals in the world should bear the compensation. However, the other vassal lords were rejected.
of rejection.
Namasa Nabeshima hated these feudal clans.
What’s even more valuable is that the Saga Domain is the most respectful domain to us, and it is a domain that can be created.”
"Our base is in Nagasaki. It's hard for him not to be respectful to us," Liang Yao said.
Saga Domain, this old unlucky domain, is really a bit miserable.
When Liang Yao led his army to Japan, the Saga clan was dealt the worst blow, and he enjoyed one-on-one VIP service from the US military.
After Liang Yao's squadron returned to California, the U.S. military stationed in Japan was again located in Nagasaki, and the Saga Domain had to be careful to deal with these senior officials stationed in Nagasaki.
"It's strange, it's strange. I have heard a lot about the Japanese country. According to common sense, this Japanese feudal lord should gnash his teeth in hatred towards you two. You two are the main culprits who forced the founding of the Japanese country."
Liang Shaoqiong, who had not interrupted at all, couldn't help but wonder.
He doesn't understand the Japanese brain circuit. The more they are bullied, the more submissive they become. Is there something wrong with these Japanese people's brains?
"Brother Liang doesn't know something. The Japanese are afraid of the strong. They bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you bully him, the more submissive he will be to you. To put it bluntly, he is a cheap person." Deng Yan explained Liang Shaoqiong's doubts.
These two years in Japan have deepened his understanding of the Japanese people.
"Even so, when we return, we will meet Namasa Nabeshima and examine it before making a conclusion." Liang Yao touched the stubble on his chin.
Although Hizen Saga's strength was weakened after the founding of the country, it still had the foundation for a strong feudal lord.
As long as Naomasa Nabeshima is not a helpless Adou, and with a little support, it is not impossible for the Saga Domain to stand proudly at the top of the other clans.
More importantly, the current situation of the Hizen Saga Domain is different from that of other domains.
The other vassals only need to admire the United States' compensation of 11 million taels of silver.
The Hizen Saga Domain alone had to bear the compensation of Nagasakijo as high as 1 million taels of silver.
Currently, the Hizen Saga Domain has only paid 200,000 taels of this compensation, and the remaining 800,000 taels are still due to be repaid in planned installments.
Not to mention the principal, the interest alone was enough to make the Hizen Saga Domain breathless.
In short, this compensation just made Japan a little sad for other feudal lords, but it was not impossible to get through it by gritting one's teeth.
The Hizen Saga Domain had to face a real desperate situation.
Moreover, Hizen Saga Domain was very close to Nagasaki, so if there was any disobedience, Deng Yan could respond quickly.
"Understood." Deng Yan nodded, and then said to Liang Yao as if he suddenly remembered something.
"There is an envoy from the Rakshasa Kingdom who wants to see you. He came with my ship. Will he see you or not?"
"Let them hang out for now, we won't see them for a while."
