All the newly occupied lands were peaceful and peaceful, and their rule was stable, which made Zuo Mengeng very happy.
His inspection tour begins again.
This time he went directly north from Ryukyu, and his first stop was the Goto Islands.
Through the Treaty of Nagasaki, the Goto Islands have become the territory of Xia Kingdom.
This is also Xia's outpost against Japan.
The First Marine Division deployed a regiment here, always maintaining a certain degree of military pressure on Japan.
"Turn left, walk in unison, one two one... one two one..."
On the school grounds, the training was in full swing and extremely rigorous. However, the soldiers being trained were not the 1st Marine Division, but the Shimabara Rebel Army.
During the time when Tokisada Amakusa rushed to study in the Natsu Kingdom, the Shimabara rebel army did not completely herd the sheep.
Yuan Shengsheng and others returned to Shimabara and took over control of the Shimabara Rebel Army.
They selected outstanding and capable soldiers from the rebels and sent them to the Five Islands to receive training from the First Marine Division.
Today's Shimabara rebels have completed a complete change of clothes. Just looking at their appearance, they are almost exactly the same as Xia Jun.
"Those foreign daimyo expressed their wish several times, hoping to send people to learn military technology and tactics. It seems that the Tokugawa shogunate put a lot of pressure on them."
Tang Wenhuan reported on the situation in Japan during this period.
Zuo Mengeng did not comment, but asked: "Have you established contact with the female emperor?"
Tang Wenhuan smiled slightly and admired Zuo Mengeng even more.
"His Highness is right. No one in power is a good person. We took advantage of the opportunity to rebuild Osaka and established a relationship with the emperor's cronies. The other party hinted that when necessary, he would be loyal to the outside world.
The Daimyo expressed support.”
Zuo Mengeng was in a very comfortable mood.
Through Xia's powerful strength, he created a prisoner's dilemma for all the forces in Japan.
It’s not that Japan doesn’t have wise people who can’t understand Xia Guo’s intentions.
But so what?
The conflict between the Tokugawa shogunate and the daimyō had reached a life-or-death level, and they could no longer be trusted or eased.
There is only one way before them.
That is, knowing that there is a tiger snooping next to you, but you can only fight to the death first.
Compared to the Tokugawa shogunate, the power of the external daimyo was undoubtedly much weaker, and they did not have the status of righteousness.
Now that the female emperor has revealed her secrets, it will definitely increase the confidence of the daimyō.
"Tell those outsiders to allow them to send people to study in military academies."
After hearing Zuo Mengeng's decision, Tang Wenhuan couldn't help but feel worried.
"Will raising tigers cause trouble?"
Zuo Menggeng had the pearl of wisdom in hand and told him the follow-up arrangements.
"Didn't the Tokugawa Shogunate also express the same idea? They also asked them to send people to study."
Tang Wenhuan grinned, finally understanding what Zuo Mengeng had in mind.
He still has some worries.
"After these two groups arrive at the military academy, will they start fighting?"
Zuo Mengeng's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"All the people sent by the foreign daimyo were sent to the Military Academy in Linqing. Those sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate were sent to the Songjiang Military Academy."
Tang Wenhuan was stunned and understood completely.
"Now that's good, the military academies on both sides will definitely use their best efforts, and they definitely don't want to embarrass their students."
This is what Zuo Mengeng means.
"Tell both sides that the future results on the Japanese battlefield will determine their assessment."
He didn't do anything, he just followed suit.
This will be a good story in later generations.
As for the military academy's all-out teaching, will it help Japan cultivate powerful enemies?
Zuo Mengeng was not worried at all.
Japan's national strength determines that no matter how hard it tries, it won't get anywhere without abundant resources.
Moreover, the stronger the Tokugawa shogunate and the daimyō were, the more brutal the fighting would be, and the more severe the weakening of Japan would be.
After deploying the situation in Japan, there is also North Korea.
Tang Wenhuan put forward his own opinion.
"Your Highness, I do not recommend that you go to North Korea."
Zuo Mengeng attached great importance to his proposal and asked: "What happened in North Korea?"
Tang Wenhuan nodded and talked about the situation in North Korea.
"After Lord Gwanghae was restored to power, he did something a little outrageous. For personal enjoyment, he selected beautiful girls on a large scale, which caused widespread resentment among the people. Not only that, he even forced people to death. There was a young girl in Jeolla Province who was unwilling to enter the palace.
, but was arrested by officials. The young girl was also fierce and brazenly chose to commit suicide. This matter has caused a big stir in North Korea, and the cabinet even accused Gwanghaejun of lacking in virtue. The judicial department threatened to punish Gwanghae.
Haijun has been convicted. The two sides are now in a stalemate and cannot stop."
Zuo Mengeng understood.
At this time, he really can't go to North Korea.
Otherwise, both Mr. Gwanghae and the cabinet will come to him to seek justice.
But no matter which side he prefers, it will seriously affect the political direction of North Korea.
This is not in Xia's interests.
"Then I'll go directly to Jilin."
Zuo Menggeng changed his itinerary and set off directly from the Goto Islands and crossed the Tsushima Strait, ignoring North Korea just beside it.
At this time, the domestic situation in North Korea is so depressing that it makes people breathless.
"As a king, Your Highness is blessed with great power and high position. These ministers have forgotten their loyalty and righteousness, which can be said to be treason. I only hope that Your Highness will obey and will fight to the death against these traitors and thieves."
In the dim palace, Lord Guanghai was hidden in the shadows, just like his mood.
He seized the God-given opportunity and finally regained the throne.
Decades of prison life have made him cherish the position under his butt even more.
Therefore, after I came back, I strived to be luxurious in every aspect and make it even better than before.
What made him most anxious was that he had no heirs to inherit the inheritance.
He did not care whether he would be able to give birth to a child in his dying years, and insisted on selecting girls from all over the country to enrich his harem.
Kim Sang-hyun, Shen Ji-won, Song Si-yeol and others were particularly dissatisfied with his request.
However, the new king had just ascended the throne, so it was difficult to completely refute his reputation. So, under the hint of the central bosses, the draft was strictly restricted.
What happened next was like a farce.
Lord Gwanghae is waiting with joy. His harem is full of beauties, allowing him to play and sing every night.
Unexpectedly, the draft was met with strong resistance from the public.
Although the time is still short, through the fierce war, Xia Guo's thoughts have penetrated deeply into the Korean people.
The originally ignorant North Korean people now have self-awareness.
Especially North Korean women, with Kim Qiurong and Park Kyung-yeon as their idols, they are passionately pursuing a new life.
Why would you want to enter a cold palace to serve a bad old man?
Guanghaijun waited and waited, but no beauty came, and his old face was completely disgraced.
This made him finally wake up from the joy of recovery, his eyes filled with dangerous coldness.
