Chapter 141 Military Advisor, Taijun said it. (Please subscribe, please vote)

At the end of February in the seventh year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, Choryang Japanese Museum, Busan, North Korea.

The so-called Choryang Wakan is a Japanese-style town covering an area of ​​more than 330,000 square meters (approximately one million square meters). It was built by Tsushima who submitted vassals to the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Joseon Kingdom more than a hundred years ago.

The Zong family funded and built it after obtaining the approval of the King of Joseon, and it was dedicated to trade between Japan and Korea. Later, because the business was so good, it also contributed a lot of tax revenue to the Joseon Kingdom, so the Japanese Pavilion was expanded several times. From the first ten

The area has increased from 10,000 ping to 330,000 ping, which is one square kilometer. In fact, it is a small area.

As luck would have it, this Japanese pavilion is located on the opposite bank of the Jueying Island base of the Ming Dynasty Navy. There is a narrow and busy strait between Jueying Island and the strait. There are also railway bridges and road bridges across the strait, allowing people to travel between the two sides.

Very convenient.

It is really unusual for a Japanese museum to be a neighbor of a military base whose purpose is to prevent and prepare for Japanese invaders.

However, the geographical location of Jueying Island is so good that the Ming Dynasty Navy is really reluctant to change places. This island happens to guard the south gate of Busan. As long as a few forts are built in the south of the island, enemies who try to invade Busan can be defeated.

It is blocked from the outside. Moreover, the terrain in the southern part of Jueying Island is quite dangerous. Whether the enemy coming from the sea wants to land or shell, it will not be easy to succeed.

In addition, Jueying Island is only one or two hundred kilometers away from the Japanese mainland. A warship with a speed of more than ten or twenty knots per hour can reach the northern coast of Kyushu or outside the Kanmon Strait in ten hours.

If it were an airship, it would take at most two hours to drop incendiary bombs on the Japanese!

Therefore, the Ming Navy identified Jueying Island and invested heavily in its construction. Not only did it build forts, ports, barracks, warehouses, airship landing sites and other facilities, it even built a railway.

As for the Choryang Japanese Consortium, they were not comfortable being neighbors with the Ming Dynasty Navy. Moreover, the Ming Navy also built a fort on the north shore of Jeeyeongdo Island, set up cannons and aimed at the Choryang Japanese Consortium, and even forcibly captured the Marine Corps.

He was assigned to the Choryang Japanese Museum on duty, and on the grounds of confidentiality, the Choryang Japanese Museum was prohibited from making telegrams and phone calls. However, the Japanese Museum in Choryang was still unwilling to move.

There are two reasons why we did not move. One is because the spending power of the Ming Navy officers, soldiers and their families in the Jueying Island base is too strong!

The second reason is that although the Choryang Japanese Museum is governed by the Tsushima Domain of Japan, it was built on Korean soil after all. Various restrictions imposed by the Ming Dynasty on Japan do not apply to the Choryang Japanese Museum - coal, cotton, petroleum products, etc.

All iron and copper materials can freely enter the Choryang Japanese Museum. Therefore, the Choryang Japanese Museum not only has developed commerce, shipping industry, service industry, but also a large number of handicraft workshops.

Now more than ten days have passed since the Battle of Kii, and the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Japan is still blurred. However, the streets of Choryang Wakan are still as bustling as ever. It is even more lively and prosperous than before.

Because many Ming Dynasty merchants who were originally trading in Nagasaki received the advice to evacuate, a considerable number of them came to the Choryang Japanese Museum in Busan - some merchants who have been engaged in trade between China, Japan and Korea for many years are often in Shanghai, Nagasaki

They have opened stores in the Choryang Japanese Museum in Busan. Compared with evacuating to Shanghai, it is much more convenient to evacuate to the Choryang Japanese Museum.

In addition, some Japanese businessmen also saw that the situation was not good and fled directly to the Choryang Japanese Museum in Busan. Although Japan has been opened for a long time, it is not the Japan after the Meiji Restoration. Because the people who led the founding of the country were not

It was the Tokugawa shogun who was the pillar of the samurai family. Naturally, the Tokugawa shoguns could not deprive the samurai of their privileges and bring revolution to the samurai. Such "conscription orders" and "abolition of sword orders" were impossible, and neither could the shogunate.

Implement J-nationalist education for civilians who are not warriors.

In today's Japan, serving as a soldier is a privilege, not an obligation. Only those who are born as samurai are qualified to serve as soldiers to defend the country. It is only natural for merchants or craftsmen who are born as civilians to run away when they encounter danger.

.

Therefore, under the cloud of war, Busan Japanese Museum has become more prosperous than before.

When the night gradually enveloped the inside and outside of the Japanese temple in Choryang, piles of dock workers and workers in the handicraft workshops lined up, led by the foremen, walked through the narrow road inside the Japanese temple and headed outside the Japanese temple.

They left the collective dormitories built on the Koreans' territory - the Japanese workers' land was very small and every inch of land was at a premium, so the workers' dormitories could only be located outside the Japanese workers' dormitories. Those Japanese workers who had worked hard all day,

They all lined up in neat lines, one after another, heading towards the exit of the Japanese Pavilion. If someone wearing a Ming Dynasty naval officer uniform happened to pass by them, these Japanese workers would not only give way, but would also be deeply moved.

Bow down!

Because in their view, there is no doubt that the officers of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to high-level warriors!

Although there are Ming Dynasty marines on duty in the Japanese palace, the feudal lords of the Taima Zong family are responsible for security. According to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty navy, samurai entering the Choryang Japanese palace cannot carry firearms and can only bring swords. Therefore, these soldiers wear uniform colors.

, the samurai with the Zong family crest printed on their clothes were responsible for the daily affairs of Choryang Hall. When the lights on the streets in the Japanese hall came on one by one, the Zong family retainers carrying knives began to walk up and down the streets.

Patrol. Under their management, this prosperous, crowded, and at first glance a bit chaotic Japanese-style town is always in surprisingly good order.

The "custom area" of the Choryang Japanese Museum occupies about a quarter of the entire Japanese museum area. Very exquisitely built small buildings stand in rows on both sides of the street. When night falls, all the music coming from inside is string music.

sounds and wild laughter.

Rickshaw pullers from Japan, wearing uniforms with their names printed on them (only first names, no surnames), line up neatly at the entrances of Choryang Pavilion, waiting for patrons to call. There are also four-wheeled carriages paved with stone slabs.

Most of these carriages passed by in a swaggering manner on the road. Most of these carriages belonged to senior officers of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Wherever they passed, not only the Japanese civilians along the way would bow deeply, but even the samurai of the clan would bow to the carriages.

Obviously, here at the Choryang Japanese Museum, the Ming Empire is undoubtedly the supreme power of the Celestial Empire!

Zhuge Weidao was sitting in a carriage at this time, looking curiously at the street outside. Wang Wen and a young man in his twenties, with a mustache and wearing a blue Ming Dynasty civil servant uniform sat side by side opposite Zhuge Weidao

, and sitting next to Weidao was his personal maid Ali.

"Strategist, Mito Saiaki (Tokugawa Saiaki) said that Japan is willing to support each other with you. As long as you are willing to lead Japan forward, the Tokugawa shogunate is also willing to use Japan's manpower and material resources for your use."

.

Mr. Gongfang has given the Tokugawa Miao character to Xiao Kong of the Daikoku family. Although the Tokugawa Miao character is far inferior to your military advisor's Zhuge surname, Japan is now the Tokugawa world after all. After Xiaokong got the Tokugawa Miao character, she

The son you gave birth to will become the heir to the Dahei family with just a little work. From now on, the Dahei consortium will be your property!

In addition, Mr. Gongfang also said that the shogunate navy can follow your orders to fight against the foreigners, and can also send 10,000 elite warriors to follow you to send troops to foreign lands and conquer all directions! As long as you say a word, the power of Japan can help

Used by military advisors!"

The one who is wooing Zhuge Weidao with the generous offer of "measuring Japan's manpower and material resources for your use as a military advisor" is the mustache wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty - he looks a bit like a traitor, but he is definitely not a traitor, because he is not a traitor at all.

He is not a Han Chinese, nor does he have the nationality of the Ming Dynasty, but a vassal lord with dual identities of Japan and Korea. His name is Zong Yixi.

The memorial form of professing the title of vassal was almost a domestic slave with three surnames, and the Choryang Japanese Pavilion here was his property.
