Shang Feng looked at Gao Jianguo expectantly, very nervous. He knew that this was not authentic, but he also knew that such a temptation was definitely not small, and he couldn't give up the child and the wolf.

If Gao Jianguo helped the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Satsuma Domain would be a fart, and the whole of Japan would be a fart. Anyway, it is better for the northern Amami Goshima to fall into their hands than to fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Shang Feng knew very well in his heart that if these islands were in the hands of the Satsuma Domain, it was not certain whether their Ryukyu Kingdom would exist in the future. He was right, and with Japan's usual greedy nature, he finally swallowed the Ryukyus.

In March 1879, Japan secretly dispatched military and police personnel to the Ryukyus, and in a surprise move, he ordered the relinquishment of power at Shurijo Castle to Prince Imon, the acting agent of the King of the Ryukyus. On April 4, Japan brazenly announced the "abolition of Ryukyu Prefecture", that is, the Ryukyu Kingdom was changed to Okinawa Prefecture.

He then looted documents, cultural relics, and seals exchanged between China and Ryukyu, as well as the government archives of the Ryukyu Kingdom, in an attempt to destroy and conceal historical witnesses, and forced King Shotai and others to go to Japan. Since then, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been annihilated in the dust of history.

Gao Jianguo thought for a long time, and said embarrassedly: "Brother, isn't this bad......"

In fact, what Gao Jianguo wants to say is that I took your five islands at once, how embarrassing it is. Gao Jianguo is also a face-saving person, even if he wants it in his heart, he must always be polite on his lips, don't make it look like he is hungry.

But Shang Feng misunderstood, thinking that Gao Jianguo was unwilling. So before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, so be it." You and I are brothers with different surnames, don't rent Kume Island, and Brother Wang will give it to Brother Wang. ”

Gao Jianguo was stupid at that time, he looked at Shang Feng's eyes full of anticipation stupidly, pretended to be very determined, gritted his teeth and said, "Alas...... Brother, since you say so, then if I shirk it again, brother, I really can't say it. Good...... I took over the affairs of the Satsuma Domain. ”

Shang Feng heard Gao Jianguo's words. There was a wave of ecstasy in my heart. was about to kneel down again, and Gao Jianguo pulled him up this time. He was embarrassed enough, if he still made people kneel, it was really unspeakable.

Gao Jianguo's feeling now. It's like selling crutches.

Gao Jianguo left the Shuri Castle Palace. I went to the port of Naha. The battle here was much simpler, and a dozen or so Satsuma Domain naval ships were captured with little resistance.

Liu Baoguo escorted the dozen or so Japanese warships back to Nayuan. Then they settled the dozen or so Japanese ships they captured this time, and also locked up the hundreds of Japanese sailors who had been captured.

There was no suspense in this battle, and everyone was very happy. Gao Jianguo also told the news that Shang Feng was going to send to the island. Everyone was very excited when they heard it, and they got six islands at once, and they were willing to give it to you, so you can't do it.

Liu Baoguo laughed and said: "Commander, don't let down your brother's heart this time, people really want to give you these five islands." As for the Satsuma Domain, then we will help the Ryukyus sweep them away. ”

"Yes, hit Kagoshima and destroy the Shimazu family......"

"Defeat the Satsuma Domain, and let them also cede land and pay reparations......"

"After we destroyed the Satsuma Domain, we forced the Tokugawa shogunate to sign a twenty-one ...... with them."

Gao Jianguo saw a group of militants constantly shouting, if these guys were allowed to talk about it again, the Japanese emperor would have to let them be destroyed.

He hurriedly laughed and scolded: "Stop a little, don't forget what our mission is this time." Our most important task now is to transport more than 20,000 tons of grain back to Vladivostok, and then set up a foothold in the Ryukyus to create the prerequisites for the company's upcoming wireless communication relay base station plan.

Of course, since the Satsuma clan is hindering our plans, it is necessary to warn them as well. Just like today, when we exterminated the arrogant and domineering group of samurai of the Satsuma Domain, Ashigaru, we want to sue them that the days when they were rampant and domineering in the Ryukyus are gone.

We brought back the corpses of these devils and sent one of their naval ships back, and wrote a sternly worded letter to the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain that it was still too late to rein in the precipice, and that if they continued to go their own way, the Satsuma Domain would be responsible for the consequences. ”

As soon as Gao Jianguo's words fell, everyone was amused, and the commander could talk nonsense. In this way, aren't you forcing the Satsuma Domain to send troops? It would be strange if the Shimazu family could bear it if they received this boatload of corpses and this letter.

Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Commander, in fact, we defeated the Satsuma Domain, and the Japanese Tokugawa Shogunate is happy to see it. As long as we don't escalate things, they won't do anything. They want us to weaken the Satsuma Domain.

Since the Satsuma Domain launched the Keicho Ryukyu War in 1609, the shogunate was wary of the Shimazu family. Therefore, they began to constantly suppress the Satsuma Domain, which was almost tossed by the Tokugawa Shogunate to the point of economic collapse.

Our current attack on the Satsuma Domain is actually a disguised attempt to eliminate hidden dangers for the Tokugawa shogunate. Although the Satsuma Domain cannot be completely destroyed now, it must also beat him to the point that he will never be able to turn over. There is no longer room for harassing our Amami Goto. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "We can't cheapen the Satsuma Domain, if he doesn't say anything after the fight, I will let them compensate us for food, and it is not enough to have tens of thousands of stones." Paralyzing, this is also part of our plan to buy food. Our company doesn't have the energy to manage Amami Goto right now, but if they want to send it, how can we not want it.

What we want now is not the islands, but the ownership and attribution of these islands. Then we can ask the Ryukyus to take care of it for us, and when we have the ability to manage it in the future, we can make use of these islands. Therefore, this time, the threat of the Satsuma Domain to the Ryukyus must be resolved. If they come to harass the Ryukyus again, it will affect the construction of our wireless communication relay base station. ”

After everyone's research, it was decided to send a Satsuma Domain's naval ship carrying the corpses of the samurai and Ashigaru, as well as a letter informing the Satsuma Domain in stern terms that the Ryukyu Islands were now under the protection of the Far East Company, and that the Satsuma Domain's warships would not be allowed to set foot in the Ryukyu Islands in the future. Moreover, the deadline is 10 days to return the five northern Amami islands, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

The next day, a naval warship of the Satsuma Domain, carrying hundreds of the bodies of the Shimazu family's samurai and ashigaru, left Ryukyu Island. As to whether the Satsuma clan can send troops, everyone's judgment is very unanimous. The Shimazu family will definitely send troops to the Ryukyus, and this is not just a matter of revenge for the hundreds of samurai Ashigaru.

The Shimazu family is now facing economic collapse in order to alleviate this poverty-stricken situation. During the period of Shimazu Tadatsune, the ancestor of the Satsuma domain, Tsuguò conquered the Ryukyus, and the Shimazu family seized the land of 40,000 koku on Amami Oshima.

At the same time, it gained the right to profit from the tributary trade of the Ryukyus. This greatly alleviated Satsuma's financial predicament in the early and middle periods, and also gave Satsuma a strong economic source. Amami Oshima was rich in black sugar, which was a valuable commodity in Japan at the time. Various local sweets from Honshu to Kyushu also have traditional sake brewing, and black sugar is used to make zuò.

At this time, the largest producer of black sugar was Amami Island. So this huge profit is exclusive to Satsuma. Brown sugar established financial credit for the Satsuma Domain. With the help of black sugar, the feudal government was able to obtain a large number of loans from merchants in Osaka and other places. It provided immeasurable benefits to the feudal finances in the early and middle periods.

After the Satsuma Domain's naval warships left, Gao Jianguo also issued an order to act, and he would lead a special combat team and a platoon of the army to arrive on Jeju Island first on the No. 1 landing ship. He doesn't have any soldiers in his hands now, and it just so happens that there are thousands of Ming soldiers and ruffians training on Jeju Island, and now it's time for them to see blood.

Gao Jianguo wanted to preemptively strike before the Satsuma Domain's naval army retaliated. First of all, the Shimazu family's navy was swept away, and then all the towns along the Satsuma Domain were swept away, completely destroying the Shimazu family's economy.

The current situation of the Satsuma Domain will definitely not be able to drag on, and they will fight to the death with the Far Eastern Army. Just take advantage of this opportunity to choose a suitable battlefield, force the Shimazu family to fight a decisive battle with it, and wipe out the elite of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain.

200 Death Warriors were left in Ryukyu Midtown Bay, a platoon from the War Department, and two landing craft to guard the freighter. It also had to receive grain ships from Siam and load the rice destined for the Ryukyus onto huge ships. After Gao Jianguo finished arranging this qiē, he left the Ryukyus with the No. 1 landing ship and headed for Jeju Island.

Since the signing of the Jeju Treaty between the company and North Korea, the company has purchased most of the fertile land from the wealthy families on Jeju Island at a "high price" and confiscated a large amount of official land. This land occupies more than 90% of Jeju Island.

This shows how cruel the social structure of North Korea is, most of the land here is owned by the Korean scholar and eunuch class, and the common people are hard tenant farmers, and a large amount of arable land is annexed by the scholar class. There are also a large number of horse farms, pastures, mountains and forests and other public and private properties, all of which were once taken into the arms of the Far Eastern Company.

The company occupied Jeju Island, and the assets of the island's wealthy families and government were seized by the company, including thousands of horses and large animals, and countless other supplies.

Now that all the North Korean officials and wealthy households on Jeju Island have left, a large number of North Korean tenants on the island, as well as some North Korean criminal households, have also been forcibly relocated by the company to the town of Bi Qu Ge www.biquge.info in Vladivostok and incorporated into the various brigade headquarters of the immigration camp.

The company's employees have taken over the surrounding villages and towns in Dajing and Jingyi counties. The Jeju Island Management Committee was established, with Guo Song as the director. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry sent some staff and organized thousands of Liaodong immigrants to live in the houses of the displaced North Korean tenants, who were responsible for cultivating the land and managing the island's forest farms, pastures and horse farms.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry also grows a large area of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts on Jeju Island, and some wheat is also preserved on Jeju Island.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is very optimistic about agricultural production here, which will not only meet the needs of these immigrants on Jeju Island, but also provide a considerable amount of food for the company next year. (To be continued......)
