The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

This is Zhang Qiang cultivating talents for the few smart scientists in his hands.

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

Chapter 7 Twelve Post-Lu Era

After he died, Zhang Qiang quickly learned from the information collected by the intelligence department that when the war was almost desperate, the Japanese sent ninja warriors to assassinate the King of Lu who was forced to fight. This is what the Japanese often do when they are desperate. things.

In the previous battles, as the war progressed, although Lu State was weak, under the persecution and support of the Huaxia Kingdom, it used advanced tactics and advanced weapons to continuously defeat the Japanese shogunate ruling group that was still in the samurai era. Japan has now shrunk to an island on the Hokkaido side.

Almost half of Japan fell, and the State of Lu took the opportunity to recruit a lot of manpower and citizens.

These nationals are all unsatisfactory Han, Manchu, and Mongols who were wandering in Japan before, as well as those Han businessmen who were smiling and desperate and insisted on posting them. They have long betrayed the nation and the country. , Now knowing that the Han Kingdom has invaded the Japanese mainland, they can speculate vigorously in order to survive.

If it is the Huaxia Kingdom, there is only one place for this kind of people, the punishment camp, either a prisoner or a hard labor camp.

Ordinary citizens will not allow them to be, because they have not made any contribution to the Chinese nation, but they are some kind of demolition. This is a cancer, this is a hidden danger. In Zhang Qiang's governance philosophy, this group of people can only be consumed They didn't even have the chance to commute their sentences through various performances, become captives, and then become ordinary people, and reintegrate into the Huaxia Kingdom.

According to the latest statistics of the Lu State, the Lu State has gathered about 100 million people this time. These are those who actually intend to follow the Lu State. The Han Chinese who became Lu, as well as the wandering Japanese samurai and civilians were brought to Kagoshima and settled down.

About [-] Han Chinese received the Ryukyu Kingdom to enrich the population there.

The population of Lu's main island exceeds 40, plus the population of his own army.

The newly recruited army of Lu Jun alone has 10,000 troops. If the original [-]+ population plus nearly [-] troops, Lu would not dare to do this, but now there are troops from the Huaxia Kingdom on this island. There is no security problem anymore. You said you want to guard against the Huaxia Kingdom. Forget it. The total strength of the island is only [-] troops. In fact, the real strength is only [-]. They are scattered on five large islands. The main island has [-] regular troops. The others are young and strong farmers, merchants, nobles, and officials' children temporarily recruited. Is it okay to let these people go to fight?

The Huaxia Army has a garrison of 1 troops, including [-] troops from the Marine Corps, an elite militia brigade mobilized continuously with [-] troops, two garrison brigades, [-] troops, plus the troops stationed in the fleet [-] troops, [-] merchants or other militia troops previously stationed here, with a total strength of [-] troops.

With [-] troops going to the front line and only [-] regular troops, the Lu State is now a prisoner who is watched to death. Do you think he still has a chance to resist?

This is the same as the situation of the great powers of various countries in the coastal areas and the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty had no room for resistance.

Now that the Lu State has gained the population of Japan, it immediately immigrated 10 people to its own country to fill the population lost due to conscription, fighting, and corvee service. In this way, including the front-line troops and civilian husbands, the population has just exceeded 40.

The population of Kagoshima is still unstable, not counting the population of their own country. Although there are as many as 100 million, who knows whether these populations will still belong to Lu after the defeat of the war.

The battle on the front line became more and more tense, and the State of Lu had to recruit and mobilize one hundred thousand young and strong to support the front line from these populations.

Japan has 15 regular troops and 35 auxiliary troops. It is about to be a decisive battle. The Lu State has [-] regular troops on the front line and [-] civilian husbands who have been recruited one after another. , the Spaniards, they can only do it themselves, transfer officers to train [-] civilian husbands, and send officials to manage the newly transferred [-] young men, who have come to Kagoshima County one after another.

With the lengthening of the battle line, the strength of the Lu State was stretched. Facing the resistance from the disobedient Japanese all over the country, they were even more devastated. If they were defeated in this battle, they would never recover. The island was under the control of the Huaxia Army. The troops on the Japanese island were not enough to fully occupy Japan. At this time, Hong Chengchou was assassinated by Japanese assassins, and the political situation of Lu State fell into turmoil.

Kong Youxing was so anxious that he wavered from side to side. He really didn't know what to do. A large group of civil and military officials of Lu State wanted Hong Chengchou's son to take over the kingship. Hong Chengchou's sons also kept wooing various ministries. No heart.

Kong Youxing had already seen the day when the state of Lu fell.

Feng Quan is different from him. At this moment, Feng Quan is also troubled by this incident, but he has his own opinions. Although he is old, he has a clear eye and a clear heart. It is impossible for any of Hong Chengchou's sons to take over the kingship to allow the Lu Kingdom to continue, and as the second person in the kingdom, the prime minister of the royal family, he seems to be beautiful and possesses the strength to determine the world at one stroke, but he know, so what?

Soon I will fall into the quagmire of fighting for power and profit with Hong Chengchou's sons. After many days of dealing with Hong Chengchou's sons' wooing and all kinds of lobbying by civil and military officials, Feng Quan said to his servant: "Go prepare a pair of coats and hats. , send me a post of my name to Mr. Zhao's residence, and say that I will visit him tonight."

In the evening, after hastily putting on makeup, he walked towards Zhao Hui, the commander of the Huaxia Army's garrison in Lu State, with the appearance of a low-class family member in Feng's residence, followed by an unremarkable servant he bought.

The two of them retreated to the left and right, and discussed in the secret room in the middle of the night. The next morning, a few carrier pigeons flew from Zhao's mansion and sank into the distant sea.

Back at the mansion, Feng Quan didn't care about his tiredness, so he held tea and drank it continuously. He knew that the state of Lu was doomed, and if he wanted to continue to live, he could only rely on the Kingdom of Huaxia, so when he saw Zhao Hui, he straight-forwardly expressed himself the meaning of.

Zhao Hui was very surprised, he did not expect that the second person from Lu State would come to him, so he received him quickly, chatted with him in the middle of the night to make sure that what Feng Quan said was not a temptation and perfunctory, and quickly used the carrier pigeon in the army to report to the national defense The Ministry of Defense asked, as the son of Zhao Siyang, the Artillery Director directly under the Ministry of National Defense, he has some face in Wei Wuji, so his carrier pigeon flew directly to Wei Wuji's mansion.

Jin Qi from the Ministry of Military Intelligence was not approached, because he was afraid that the Ministry of Military Intelligence would delay the development of the current situation by passing on information from one level to the next. Now that the state of Lu is a powder keg that is about to explode, it cannot but make people anxious. Their respective forces mobilized to seize power, and the state of Lu immediately collapsed and fell into chaos.

Because Hong Chengchou's brand is too strong, Feng Quan has already stated that he doesn't know if he can control the situation. If it's just a verbal battle in the court, he is not afraid of anything, and he can still control all civil and military officials. In front of the sons, in this era of alternation of kingship, Feng Quan, as a courtier, can only choose one allegiance, and cannot have any resistance.

Otherwise, you can only be cast aside.

But if he was on the wrong team, his life would be lost.

Chapter 7 Thirteen: The Battle for the Throne

Feng Quan was waiting for the news at the mansion, before he could wait for the opinion of Huaxia Kingdom, he heard the servant say: "Master, the eldest prince has ordered General Kong Youxing to return to the army."

Feng Quan stood up, this was a big deal, if Kong Youxing obeyed the prince's order and returned to Master Island, what would happen to the war in Japan?

The Japanese still have the superiority in military strength. Originally, the military strength was not dominant. If the Japanese soldiers and horses take advantage of the situation to attack when they return to the division hastily, the Lu army with a strength of only [-] troops, even with the disciplined military quality trained by the Thai and Westerners, will panic. , Losing a large area of ​​​​the occupied territory, if the Japanese samurai attacked again halfway, the newly recruited civilians who followed were likely to collapse at once, which would have a great blow to the morale of the front-line troops. If they knew the news of Hong Chengchou's death, If you have no confidence in your heart, you will be shaken even more.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Feng Quan immediately wrote to Kong Youxing, ordering him not to obey any orders, but to stick to the front line. He transferred [-] troops from the main island to him to calm down the situation. As for the safety of the mainland, Feng Quan immediately let his family The servant informed Zhao Hui, the garrison of the Kingdom of Huaxia, to send troops to stabilize the situation, at least not to cause chaos in the Kingdom of Lu.

As the current status, no one can replace him. He is now the Dinghaishenzhen of the Lu Kingdom, the target of various princes, because he is still listened to by people, and he has always been responsible for the actual operation, while Hong Chengchou is only in the palace His emperor, he basically didn't care about many things, and enjoyed his last few years in peace.

Why didn't Feng Quan want to do this, but he was the second child, so he had to work.

The reason for this is that he can control everything below, including officials and generals, and the deployment of various materials.

So now he is still being listened to.

Although the struggle for power among various princes has drawn some officials to their camps, and some generals have become subordinates of various camps, he can still command most generals.

Including the Marshal of Bingma, a marshal who can only command [-] troops across the country.

When the State of Lu came to the island of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the talents were withered. Whether it was civil servants or military generals, or all the existences capable of fighting, they either died, or escaped, or were captured by the Huaxia Army. There are four people who are in power in the whole country.

Hong Chengchou, the king, commands everything.

Feng Quan, who handles all affairs in detail, is the head of civil servants.

Kong Youxing, Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, commanded all [-] regular soldiers and horses in the country.

Chen Hui, the governor of the navy, commanded [-] thousand-ton warships, [-] [-]-[-]-ton warships, and [-] merchant ships under [-]-ton and [-]-ton patrol boats in the offshore. This strength is about the same as that of a fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom.

However, in terms of the source of troops and strength, it really cannot compare with a fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom.
