If he wants to create chaos, Ying Zheng naturally needs to first take stock of the Conquest Division's family background in this world. How many people are there, how many masters, how many talents, how many troops, and what is the strength of the army...
Da Qin is about to launch a war to destroy Korea, and it cannot spare much manpower and material resources in a short period of time. What's more, even if Korea is destroyed, Ying Zheng does not want to expose the affairs of the world so quickly.
At the very least, it will have to wait until Han, Zhao, Wei, or even Chu are destroyed before it can be exposed. By then, the overall situation has been decided, and others will have nothing to fear even if they know something.
Today's Expedition Division has its own army. As early as the second year, Lu Buwei took the masters of Qingyi Tower and an elite army of 500 people trained by the Expedition Division to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. It is currently being conquered by a strong force from somewhere in Japan. In the future, it will even be completely occupied by this strong force from Japan.
However, when Lu Buwei and the heroes of the Expedition Division arrived, everything changed. They occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom in advance and used it as an overseas base.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is actually not that big. It is said to be a country, but it is essentially composed of a group of very small islands. The total area is about more than 4,000 square kilometers, and the total population is about 100,000.
Among the 100,000 people, there are kings, civil servants, and generals. They are also good at internal fighting, like to seek death, and have countless external enemies.
However, due to the important location of the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are actually not a few passenger ships traveling during the great voyages. Therefore, in the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are bases set up by Prince Pingnan, bases set up by the little old man, and many wealthy businessmen in the south.
base.
So many forces are like foreign powers. For the Ryukyu Kingdom, it cannot afford to offend any one of them, so it has no choice but to close the door and engage in internal fighting.
Even the reason why the Ryukyu Kingdom has not been conquered by Japanese local tyrants is because these powerful forces did not allow it. And when Lu Buwei came, he launched a great purge without saying a word.
No matter if you are a spy from Prince Pingnan's palace, a subordinate of a young old man, or an informant from Japan's powerful locals, you will all be killed. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
A shogunate was even established, and the leader of the shogunate was Ying Zheng. However, Ying Zheng's time was limited and he only showed up occasionally, leaving major matters to Lu Buwei.
With a population of 100,000, it was extremely easy to mobilize an army of 10,000 based on the strong mobilization capabilities during the Warring States Period. But before, the Ryukyu Kingdom only had an army of several hundred people.
After Lu Buwei took over, the Ryukyu Kingdom now has an elite army of 3,000 people. The senior officers are all heroes from the Expedition Department, and the 3,000 people are trained strictly in accordance with the latest standards of the Qin Dynasty.
wind!
wind!
Strong wind!
Listening to the roars of the soldiers, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied. At least the army in front of him looked capable of fighting.
"This is a team of officers. Father Zhong is very attentive."
Hearing this, Lu Buwei stroked his beard with a smile: "Although this army is small in number, only three thousand people, every one of them is trained according to the requirements of the centurion leader."
"And Ryukyu's geographical location is very good, and there is enough money and treasure to train them. To this day, every one of them is studying and practicing martial arts. Even in Da Qin, they are qualified officers."
Three thousand officers can easily be expanded to 30,000 people, and they are still the kind of 30,000 people with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The biggest difference between the modern army and the classical feudal army is actually the number of officers. In the feudal era, sometimes there might be only one expert in an army of a thousand people. This was very common.
Because the art of war in the feudal era was the art of slaying dragons, it was difficult for ordinary people except military strategists and generals to master it. The reason why the generals' children were able to lead troops was never based on the art of war, but on the family members they had trained since childhood.
By giving birth to children from these families, they can effectively control the army. Coupled with the experience of leading troops handed down from their ancestors, they can be regarded as qualified generals.
In the modern army, every squad leader has attended a military academy and knows how to fight and what to do in any situation.
An army of 30,000 people, equipped with 3,000 qualified officers, is a proper modern army. After seeing blood, coupled with the elite armor provided by Qin Dynasty, it can defeat the most elite border troops of Ming Dynasty in this world.
"In addition to this army, I and the heroes of the expedition department have still made a lot of preparations in the past four years. Thanks to your majesty, all the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom have now practiced martial arts. Although their strength is not very good,
But it’s okay to be healthy and free from all diseases.”
"Moreover, research has found that these people who are initially practicing martial arts will not get sick when they enter Yizhou Island, Luzon and other places. Even if they live in the jungle, they will not get sick because of the environment there."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. The effect of this martial arts is really far beyond imagination. The biggest difficulty in immigrating to Southeast Asia, or even conquering countries such as Myanmar and Thailand, has never been the lack of military strength but the incompatibility with the climate.
Throughout the ages, it has been difficult for people from the Central Plains to adapt to the climate of Yizhou Island and Southeast Asia. When immigrants arrive there, at least half of them will die.
Just a case of malaria can kill people when it spreads, let alone blood-sucking worms and other deadly killers hidden in the rainforest.
"Really? It's been tested?"
"Yes, in the past few years, in addition to Ryukyu, I have been reclaiming Yizhou Island. A total of 300,000 people have been transported before and after, and only 150,000 are still alive now."
"In order to solve the problem of acclimatization, many methods have been thought of. In the end, martial arts training has the best effect. As long as you enter the realm of self-refining and foundation-building, the mortality rate of immigrants will be reduced to 10%. After entering the realm of refining qi,
Unless you are really unlucky, you will not die at all."
Is it difficult to train yourself and build a foundation? It's really not difficult. This is just the first step in practicing martial arts. Even ordinary people can enter this state in just a hundred days.
If you can eat three meals a day and occasionally have meat, you can enter this realm within a year no matter how poor your qualifications are. At this moment, there is really no shortage of meat in the Expedition Division.
When they are overseas, they casually fish from the sea. A single fishing net can easily contain tens of thousands of catties of sea fish. When they are lucky, it can be hundreds of thousands of catties.
In the past few years, the amount of salted fish transported to Daqin by the Expeditionary Division has averaged hundreds of thousands of kilograms every day. Most of these salted fish have been digested by the army, and a small part has flowed into the people.
A few days later, Ying Zheng came to Yizhou Island. Standing on a high place, he looked at the fertile fields here. Although only 150,000 people survived, there were as many as 500,000 slaves here.
As for the number of fields, it is as many as five million acres, and there are still two crops a year.
There are three thousand officer seeds.
There are five million acres of fields with two crops a year.
There are also 30,000 sets of steel armor supported by Da Qin.
With so much strength? Direct rebellion is enough, right?
