The first thousand two hundred and seventy-three chapters want to be a trafficker, I want more of yo
After a few years, maybe the entire Fuso Islands will turn into a barren wilderness. The Tang Empire will be able to directly turn this place into the mainland of the Tang Empire without having to attack it, and there will be no need to worry about any barbarians popping up.
Come and resist!
because!
The local Fuso barbarians are already extinct!
Thinking of this kind of scene, the ministers on duty in the royal study all felt a little excited. This method of directly and completely annihilating an alien race without using a single soldier was simply too clever.
The only problem now is that Fusang has a large population and a lot of young women. It will not be easy to marry them all back to China!
But Li Xuan didn’t take it seriously!
I'm afraid, as long as the empire opens channels, countless bachelors in the empire can marry all the Fusang women, so what kind of effort does the empire official need to spend?
The fighting power of a bachelor is quite powerful!
After adjusting its strategy towards Fusang, the Tang Empire quickly formulated relevant policies. Naturally, the first thing to be launched was not a marriage policy, but a military operation.
After all, the Tang Empire wanted to marry all Fusang women. No matter how stupid the Fusang lords were, they knew that this kind of thing was not good and would resist.
So, there has to be a process!
During this process, it is very necessary to maintain high-pressure military strikes.
Although the Tang Empire said it did not want to completely annex Fusang now, it was not because it did not have the military capabilities, but because even if it was defeated, it would be difficult to maintain its rule.
So the first step is to increase the number of troops in Fuso!
This time, after consultations between the army and the navy, the army plans to expand the number of troops stationed on the Fuso Islands from the existing two garrison regiments and several independent battalions, totaling more than 4,000 people, to 15,000.
.
Of course, these 15,000 people cannot be the main force. The main force of the Tang Army only totals 30,000 to 400,000. The main force still has to face the threat from the north, and at the same time, it has to maintain a military presence in the country.
It is unlikely that a main force of 15,000 troops could be stationed in a poor place like Fuso.
Therefore, the number of the main force is about 5,000, and the rest will be deployed from domestic reserve divisions to garrison.
Therefore, the Army first adjusted the existing strength of Fuso, and coupled with the domestic reinforcements of two infantry battalions and an artillery battalion, the First Mixed Brigade of the Datang Army was formed. This is also the first mixed brigade of the Datang Army in recent years.
After completing the military reform in 2006 and abolishing all mixed brigades and regiments, a formal mixed brigade force was established for the first time.
Nowadays, the formations of the various units of the Tang Army have been completely unified. The troops stationed in the country are uniformly organized into infantry divisions, cavalry divisions, artillery brigades, reserve divisions, etc. There are no mixed brigades, regiments, etc.
In overseas areas, various garrison regiments are the main ones, such as Ryukyu Garrison, Luzon Garrison, Banten Garrison, etc.
Nowadays, the Datang Army has assembled the Ryukyu Garrison Corps and other main forces stationed in Fuso, and then reinforced some troops from China to form the First Mixed Brigade of the Datang Army.
If nothing unexpected happens, the brigade will be stationed in Osumi County.
At the same time, approximately 10,000 reserve division troops will be mobilized from various parts of the country. These reserve division troops will form several garrison regiments and battalions to be stationed in each colony to ensure that each colony has at least one garrison battalion.
The number of troops shall not be less than 300.
In key areas, there are garrison defense regiments with a strength of no less than a thousand people.
To put it simply, the garrison units composed of reserve divisions are stationed in various colonies and serve as garrison forces to deal with small and medium-sized armed conflicts. The first mixed brigade is used as a strategic mobility force.
The army has made great efforts, and the navy does not dare to lag behind!
First of all, the Navy has promised to further expand the scale of the Ryukyu Squadron and also expand the scale of the colonial fleets. For example, in the Edo colony, the Navy's Edo Squadron has only one patrol ship and three small ships.
Littoral combat ship.
The Navy decided to reinforce the Edo Squadron with one frigate and two patrol ships, and build this squadron into a real squadron to cope with most of the maritime military needs in the Fuso Sea.
At the same time, the Navy has also promised that in addition to stationing powerful warships and transport ships at the main naval base in the Fuso area, which is the Osumi Prefecture Naval Base, a Marine Corps battalion will also be stationed. This battalion will be strengthened and the strength will not be
There are less than 1,500 people, and they are equipped with infantry, artillery, baggage and other arms, and have the ability to fight alone.
After the coordination between the army and the navy was completed, orders were issued one after another. Many parts of the army began to mobilize, and then arrived at the port and boarded the ship to Fuso.
While the military is increasing its troops, it is also studying how to intervene in the situation in Fuso.
Nowadays, the situation on Fuso's side is not very good. First of all, a talent has appeared on Fuso's side. This is Oda Nobunaga, whom even Li Xuan has heard of. This man defeated the powerful Imagawa family this year.
You must know that Oda Nobunaga's army at that time was only four to five thousand people, but now the Kawa family's army is more than 20,000 people.
After the defeat of the Imagawa family, Oda Nobunaga controlled large areas such as Nakafuso and the Gyeonggi region, becoming the most powerful daimyo in the region.
And there is news that Oda Nobunaga is negotiating with the Tokugawa family, trying to form an alliance.
This series of news is not good news for the Tang Empire, because once the two sides form an alliance, they will form a quite large force, and then there is a great possibility of unifying Fusang.
The Osumi authorities, who were at the forefront of the empire's intervention in the Fuso situation, quickly realized that the situation was not good. On the one hand, they quickly reported it to the country, and on the other hand, they also made their own efforts.
Osumi authority, this is a term that is often mentioned. Even in the Fuso Islands, it has a huge name. In terms of administrative level, Osumi is actually just a prefecture under Ryukyu Prefecture.
However, because of its particularity, the Tang Empire did not treat Osumi County as an ordinary county at all. Because of its special geographical location, although Osumi County was subordinate to Ryukyu Prefecture, many matters were handled independently.
First of all, this Osumi authority does not refer to the Osumi County Yamen, but to the ‘Datang Fusang Affairs Yamen’.
The yamen is directly under the administration of the cabinet. This agency is an independent agency. It is not a local administrative agency or a diplomatic agency. It is an independent agency sent by the Tang Empire to Osumi County to handle Fuso affairs nearby. It has considerable influence.
Permissions.
In this way, the Dayu County Yamen is just a county Yamen, there is nothing special about it. In the political system of the Tang Empire, local Yamen did not have any special authority.
The Fusang Affairs Yamen's authority mainly comes from the supervision of the Yamen. The supervisor's assignment is to "supervise Fusang Affairs." These simple words actually reflect its huge power. As long as it is Fusang Affairs, the supervising
The yamen have the power to handle, including trade affairs, peace negotiations, signing treaties and even declaring war.
To put it bluntly, this is actually the Governor of Fusang within the Tang Empire system.
As for the supervisor of Fuso affairs, it just so happens that he happens to be the former special envoy of preparations for Osumi County and the magistrate of Osumi County Xia Wuyan.
This man was born in the army. When Osumi County was first established, he served as the magistrate of the county. Later, because of his contribution to Fuso affairs, he was transferred back to the country to serve, but he was soon transferred back to Osumi County.
But when he returned to Osumi County, he had already become the first Fuso Affairs Supervisor of the Tang Empire.
And he already has several titles on his head. First of all, he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and his rank is from the fifth grade.
In addition, he is also the director of the Fuso Division of the Oriental Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This position is the fifth rank.
But at the same time, he was also the imperial minister, responsible for overseeing Fusang affairs.
As a traditional feudal dynasty, the Tang Empire's official system was also quite complicated. First of all, his title of bachelor's degree was just a false title awarded to him by Li Xuan. In fact, he had never served in the Hanlin Academy.
.
In recent years, under certain circumstances, Li Xuan usually adjusts the grades and positions of officials by adding titles. The titles used to increase the titles are usually various positions in the Supervisory Council and various positions in the Hanlin Academy, and some
At that time, we simply added the title of Vice Minister directly, but these titles were only in name.
The director of the Fuso Division of the Oriental Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Xia Wuyan's official, with a rank of fifth rank.
And supervising Fusang affairs is just a temporary assignment!
Therefore, the so-called Fusang Affairs Office of the Tang Dynasty was actually only a temporary organization, and all its rights came from Xia Wuyan's dispatch.
Based on Xia Wuyan's title and mission, outsiders usually call him the supervising minister. However, this is just an honorific title given to him by ordinary people. It is not a serious official name and will not be written like this in official documents.
Now, after receiving the notification from the country, Xia Wuyan, who was supervising the Fusang affairs, also began to act quickly. His supervising Yamen had a lot of manpower, and they were quickly dispersed.
He began to summon the empire's merchants doing business in Fuso, especially those arms merchants, and reiterated the empire's policy that all arms trade to Fuso required official approval from the empire.
It’s not that they are not allowed to sell weapons, but they must be sold under official guidance!
At the same time, Xia Wuyan, on behalf of the government, hoped that businessmen would bring several batches of young Fusang women back to China so that single men in the country could marry Fusang women.
They all understand the first one, but the latter one is a little weird and they can't understand it?
Does this make them human traffickers?
It's not okay to be a human trafficker. It's expressly prohibited by imperial law and prohibits human trafficking. It's too risky to play this game!
Although the laws of the empire only apply within the country, and there are often people who go to foreign lands to capture indigenous people and transport them to other places to be slaves, one thing is that these actions all take place outside the empire, even outside the colonies.
If you dare to engage in human trafficking within the jurisdiction of the empire, even within the colonies, it is illegal and you will be beheaded.
I heard the businessmen express their concerns tactfully, saying that the laws of the empire cannot be violated, and they would never dare to become human traffickers.
Hearing this, Xia Wuyan was speechless. What kind of human trafficking was going on? Does a dynasty as powerful as the Tang Empire need these despicable methods?
Besides, if I, a man from the Tang Dynasty, want to marry a Fusang woman, those Fusang women will rush towards me like moths to a flame. I just want you businessmen to help with transportation!
You still want to be a human trafficker, you are thinking too much!
