Sado Island is an island under the jurisdiction of Shinsei Prefecture in modern society. It covers an area of ​​857 square kilometers and has a population of about 88,000. It is the sixth largest island in Japan. And it is the target of Lin Xin's Xinghan Society. The reason I chose this is because Sado Jinshan was discovered on Sado Island since 1600. At its peak in the 17th century, it was said that Sado Jinshan's gold production even reached the world's first place, and has been the pillar of the shogunate finance that lasted for 300 years. When it was at its peak, it could produce about 40 tons of gold each year.

If it is a company's machinery and equipment, it is certain that the output will double. The specific number depends on the workers and the specific mine environment. With Sado Jinshan, Xinghan Association will have enough funds to continue its revolutionary cause. Revolution is not about treating guests to dinner, but about Taizu of China's words, it is 100% correct. Whether it is developing ideas and ideology or training an armed army, it requires enough money. If Xinghan Association wants to succeed, it must have a stable source of money.

More importantly, Lin Xin had the idea of ​​miners here. Sado Island gathered a large number of Japanese gold miners. Under the high-pressure rule of the shogunate, these miners did not even have basic human rights. They worked hard every day to mine, but in the end they could only get food that could not be starved, not even a decent piece of clothing, and even basic rest time could not be guaranteed. The heavy physical labor left people dead in the gold mine every day. It would be fine if this was the case, but the key was that they could not get out of such a place, and their descendants had to continue this kind of life.

The shogunate is definitely not an enlightened socialist government, and the Japanese have the same character. If they are cruel, they can scare everyone in the world. Xiao Lin gave Lin Xin a lot of things, one of which is that the oppressed working class is the absolute main force of the revolution. Lin Xin is convinced that as the Xinghan Association, who saved them from hell, will definitely get the gratitude of these miners. In addition, the better life they provide, and the brainwashing of revolutionary ideas, it will take no time for him to produce at least 5,000 more qualified warriors.

Even if it doesn't work, it's a good price to sell these miners to Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin also offered a big price for these miners. Xiao Lin was not in love with China. China is a pool of deep water, and ordinary people can't try it out at all. Xiao Lin's identity or behavior will definitely not be able to gain the recognition of the landlords and scholars on the land of China. Now is not an era of enlightenment in the people's wisdom, and the people will only follow these people to act blindly. If Xiao Lin occupied this place, it would take many years to suppress the rebellion alone.

Since this is the case, it is better to find a more suitable target. As an ancient civilization country, many resources of China have been exploited in a rare manner, especially copper and oil, which are not easy to exploit with the company's technical conditions. Many companies cannot use precious metal mines for the time being, but other places are not without them. Compared with China, other countries do not have a large scale and are better occupied. Xiao Lin does not care about the rule of power or even the genocide, nor is he afraid of being unable to suppress the people below.

Especially Japan, they were in the first team of Xiao Lin's conquering list. First of all, they were not very far away. Secondly, because of the chaos of the shogunate war and continuous internal friction, they were not very strong. The samurai spirit they were proud of was vulnerable to the automatic firepower of the kingdom. With the samurai spirit, they could not defeat the Americans and Soviets in World War II. Not to mention that their weapons are not as good as before World War I, but the weapons of the kingdom surpassed the late stage of World War II.

The Japanese are naturally good at obeying the strong, and they beat him to cry and call him mother, and they will treat you like their fathers. The Japanese archipelago has rich gold and silver resources, which is also a huge supplement to the kingdom's finances. These miners will be taken and trained, and then put them back to help the kingdom capture cities and plunder land and use barbarians to control barbarians. Therefore, Xiao Lin also agreed to attack Sado Island. There is not without defense on Sado Island, there is a Aikawa Castle on it, which was well managed by the shogunate (the history of Japan is not easy to investigate, and it is just fictional, so Xiaoxiao has no choice but to forgive me).

Originally, a small broken city, after this period of development, was considered a medium-sized city. There were more than 10,000 people living there, of which the shogunate army had 3,000. Of course, most of them were cheap and light, with a relatively small number of samurai. Japanese samurai had similar status to the knights in the Middle Ages in Europe, and their treatment was slightly worse. In gold mines, there were also 1,000 troops, mainly to suppress miners and prevent riots.

The walls of Aikawa Castle are seven meters high and the width is not known for the time being, but there are thirty large and small cannons on them. Of course, they are all backward front-mounted bronze cannons, including European cannons, local cannons made by themselves, and even red-clothed cannons from the Qing Dynasty. The shells are not uniform in their caliber, and the combat power is really limited. The shogunate's four thousand foot-foot, of which 200 cavalry and armor are still complete. The remaining iron cannons are only 1,500 in number.

The iron cannon is a European musket imitated by Japan. It has a large caliber and a large weight. But it has to be said that its power, range and safety have far exceeded that of the Qing Dynasty muskets. The Qing Dynasty muskets were inherited from the Ming Dynasty. However, the poor performance of the Ming Dynasty muskets on the battlefield made the Manchus who advocated brute force extremely despise them, and they never even thought of continuing to study them. Not to mention these, after the iron cannon foot light, it is the simplest long gun that is not even complete with armor, and is basically cannon fodder.

Lin Xin was different. Although he only had 3,000 people in his hand, one thousand of them had to stay in China just in case. However, all of these two thousand people used the company's improved Hall m1819 rifle. The power and range of the bolt-type mature rifle have reached the level of the early stage. In terms of artillery, it was even more comprehensive. Twenty heavy punches and ten heavy punches two were enough to knock down the walls of Xiangchuan City and defeat their cavalry.

Moreover, behind them were a fleet of thirty warships sent by Ijik. This time Ijik did not lead the team personally. He knew that he was old and would eventually retire. Therefore, he also began to train a younger generation of naval officers. This time, the fleet led the two best young officers, one Adam, a once unsuccessful but very talented civilian navy in the British fleet. During his service, he learned the unique skills of most people on the ship, but due to his bloodline, he was not promoted.

Another one is Ijik's second son, Cameron Cameron. He had been suppressed by his elder brother before. If Xiao Lin and the others had not appeared, he might have to disguise himself as a playboy. Later, he joined the army with Ijik, but his brother did not join. Cameron could finally show his talent unscrupulously in the army because he was protected by the army. If his elder brother dared to be detrimental to him, some people would deal with his elder brother.

Cameron was the only one who graduated from the Naval Officer Training Class with excellent grades in his studies and is now a lieutenant colonel. Ijik gave up on his elder brother for him and devoted all his resources to him, hoping to train him to become the second naval general of the family. As commander, Adam, as political commissar, brought twenty modified ocean-going flying shears, three modified sail cruisers, one modified sail battleship, and six submarine hunting ships to a pirate on the coast of Fujian.

Without alarming the Qing Dynasty navy, the two thousand Xinghan warriors were brought here and went to Sado Island together. When they arrived, Sado Island was in the early morning. The people in Aikawa Castle also woke up with the crow of roosters. Some samurai also woke up in the geisha house, ended yesterday's madness, and entered the post with a silly footstep. The samurai were kicked out of the barracks by the warriors, picked up their weapons, and began to leave the barracks to see which profiteer could extort some extra money from today.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of ringing the bell rang, and the harbor in the distance suddenly became extremely noisy. The bell alarmed the samurai leader in Aikawa's castle. He picked up a monocular lens and finally got it and looked over. Then, his body froze. The people below could hear the call from the police and could not see what was going on, so they were all in a hurry.

"Sir Sanshang, what happened?"

At this time, the samurai leader Yu Mikami reacted from the shock. He saw thirty completely unfamiliar warships. If it weren't for the warships holding very similar musket weapons on the ship, he wouldn't even be sure that these were warships. He himself inferred that the narrow steel pipes were also a kind of artillery. So many people and so many ships came here, it would definitely not be a friendly visit. Yu Mikami couldn't help but wonder whether the army in his hand could fight against the yellow warriors who were unique to these weapons.

He even guessed where these people came from. It was impossible for Goryeo to have no such strength at all. It could only be Huaxia. They are still very scared of Huaxia now.

"The enemy attack! It is the enemy, the enemy from the Qing Dynasty. I saw it, it is all weapons I have never seen before, but its power is definitely not small."

“Wow…”
