"Head of the State, the people of the Shinsengumi have withdrawn to the Changzhou Domain for the time being, but our Loyalty Battalion is developing faster. There are many people in Fuso who agree with the philosophy of the Revival Society, and they are willing to join in to create a world that belongs to the Chinese people.

"

"Then, Zhong Runyi, do you believe that the great unity of the Chinese nation can be realized?" Dong Liang looked at Zhong Runyi and asked.

"I believe that our Chinese nation, with a territory of thousands of miles and 50 million people, will naturally be able to stand on top of the world and establish a great unity belonging to the Chinese nation. Runyi will work hard for it throughout his life." Zhong Runyi said firmly.

Dong Liang nodded slightly. Dong Liang was quite comfortable with the several Fusang officials under his command, so Dong Liang asked Zhong Runyi to help him find a few more people in Fusang.

"Has the talent you discovered last time improved?"

"The head of state and his subordinates have been looking for loyal and reliable people to develop into the revival society. Among the criminals imprisoned in the Satsuma family on Tanegashima, there was a man named Saigo Takamori who was proficient in Orchidology and Confucianism. He was originally a confidant of Shimazu Saibin and was good at

This person came to work as a farmer on his own initiative. I have investigated him and moved all his family members to Dongfan for resettlement."

"Xixiang Longsheng?" Dong Liang muttered, and it turned out that this person was still alive.

"Arrange for him to go to Anping, and I will take the time to see him." Dong Liang ordered.

"Yes, Head of State."

"Zhong Runyi, I am going to temporarily transfer your Loyalty Battalion to the Anbu. Your new position is the head of the Fuso Department of the Anbu and the director of the Fuso affairs of the Chinese Renaissance Association. You will be fully responsible for the future Anbu affairs in the direction of Fusang and the Fuso branch of the Renaissance Association.

."

"Thank you, Head of State, for your trust." Zhong Run bowed and said.

The Renaissance Society now appears as an underground organization except in areas controlled by the Chinese. Therefore, its work is tied to the work of the ANBU, which makes it easier to carry out work.

Dong Liang's layout of Fusang was long-term, and he did not think of taking Fusang overnight. That would only be counterproductive, dragging the Chinese's limited troops there and affecting the Chinese's war against the Manchus.

He wanted to first infiltrate Fusang in the form of Anbu and Fuxinghui, and when the time came, he would mobilize from within Fusang and bring it under the jurisdiction of the Chinese in one fell swoop.

This penetration includes all aspects of culture, business, and force.

It is easy to win over enlightened businessmen, down-and-out wanderers, and poor farmers with the ideas of the Renaissance Society.

These people make up the majority of Fusang.

The rule of the shogunate and feudal lords has long been riddled with decay.

Zhong Runyi was a Fusang scholar from a humble background, and he was very clear about Dong Liang's intentions.

"One more thing, Junichi."

"Well, please give me your instructions, head of state."

"I need to form a Fusang brigade outside the Zhongyi Camp, under the command of instructor Gui Kang. You know, he is going to teach the Luzon natives in the south. These people do not need to guarantee loyalty. It is best to be good at jungle warfare." Zhong Run

He also manages a large number of Fuso captives in one hand, and the Loyalty Camp set up in Fuso can also recruit ronin locally.

Using these people as cannon fodder to fight the Luzon natives in the south is a good choice.

"Führer, not to mention one brigade, even ten brigade, I can find them for you. There is no need to use our prisoners. After all, the production tasks of the labor reform brigade are also very heavy. I will go directly to Fusang to help you recruit. As long as

By spending a little money or food, you can have an inexhaustible supply of troops." Zhong Run said.

He knew very well what Dong Liang meant. When going to the south to fight the natives, the biggest enemy is actually the environment. Even a well-trained and advanced-equipped escort force would lose a lot of its troops due to the harsh environment. It would be better to use some lower-cost ones.

sources of troops.

"Okay, let's recruit two brigades. If we use them well, we can continue to expand the scale of recruitment in the future."

Fuso is now overpopulated, the upper class is corrupt, and there are rogues everywhere who cannot afford to eat.

Before the defense of Dongfan Island, Kang Laoba had already prepared to lead people to attack the Batanes and Babuyan Islands.

There are still a large number of Fan slaves imprisoned there. Dong Xingfu originally promised Elder Dawus and Damer to help them rescue those Fan slaves. This was also the condition for them to join the Chinese.

Dong Liang would naturally not break his promise over such a trivial matter.

"But I can only give you one month. After one month, these two brigades must rush to Taitung to gather. You personally hand them over to Kang Laoba."

…

After Zhong Runyi left, Zhao Liewen walked in.

"Has the message to Uncle Ping been sent out?" Dong Liang asked.

"It has been sent out. Our pigeon station in Penghu was damaged before. It has been repaired and the sea transportation line has been opened."

"Uncle Ping and the others didn't send the message back in advance this time. It was purely an accident. Both of our communication lines were cut off."

Dong Liang nodded, he knew that Uncle Ping was cautious in doing things, and it was impossible for them not to know about such a big thing as the Qing army's attack on Dongfan Island.

There were people who said before that the ANBU would be held accountable.

Of course, ANBU has some responsibility for this matter, but if there are extenuating circumstances, just give it a beating.

"Head of State, the Navy said that there are no problems with the ships. Some of the ships have completed maintenance and repairs, which is enough to ensure that the army can go out. How many people are you planning to take with you to Zhangzhou this time?" Zhao Liewen asked.

"Except for the First Brigade and the Second Brigade, all the other troops fought with me across the sea."

Dong Liang planned to bring a teaching team, six infantry brigades, and an artillery battalion to fight this time, totaling more than 4,000 people.

After this Dongfan defense battle, the garrison teams in each city experienced experience, gradually matured, and were able to take on local guard work.

After the expansion of the arsenal in Anping City, the production of rifled guns increased significantly. Dong Liang was already preparing to fully equip the front-line troops with Minie rifles. Moreover, Dong Liang also purchased the production line of flash caps from the Dutch at the Ryukyu trading center.

.

This made up for Dong Liang's shortcomings.

In the future, the Guards' flintlocks can use more stable flash caps to ignite fire, and the production scale of revolvers can also be increased.

The development of custom-loaded bullets and breech-loading guns can also be put on the agenda.

After replacing the Minie rifles, the extra flintlocks will be equipped with the garrison. He will strive to equip all the garrison with flintlocks. At the same time, the excess flintlocks will be given to the militiamen as training guns.

"Is Lin Yue back?" Dong Liang asked.

"Yes, Head of State, Captain Lin is back."

Dong Liang made some adjustments to the army this time. He transferred Lin Yue back from Okinawa and appointed an additional captain of the Okinawa garrison.

At the same time, all soldiers from the Okinawa garrison were transferred back, and three brigades were redeployed from Toban Island to garrison in the Okinawa Islands.

Not only that, the garrison of the Yaeyama Islands was also drawn to Toban Island.

These six garrison brigades were established relatively early.

Dong Liang planned to reorganize the ninth to fourteenth brigades based on them.

Lin Yue is responsible for training these six new brigades in Anping, and they will not participate in the Battle of Zhangzhou this time.

In this way, Dong Liang didn't have to worry about the soldiers and horses left behind in Anping City.

"Zhuo Yiqing, let them return to the Zhoushan Islands as soon as possible. They can lead a part of the fleet back first, and then return after the remaining damaged warships are repaired."

Dong Liang conveyed his order to Zhao Liewen, who would draft it into a formal military order and pass it on.

These orders were all discussed at the headquarters military meeting.

All ministries are actually already making preparations.

Ah Fu's large group will follow Kang Laoba and go south to teach the Luzon people a lesson.

Wang Su's Second Brigade would be stationed in the chicken coop. In fact, Dong Liang handed over the guarding of Anping City to Lin Yue. He had to reorganize and train the army while being responsible for defending Anping.

This time, the Manchu and Qing court gave Dong Liang a dirty trick. Dong Liang no longer needed to be polite to them.

Manqing must be beaten painfully.
