The most feared nightmare of the massacre in the hearts of the Japanese did not become a reality in the end. When Xiao Letian presented the post-war punishment plan in front of thousands of people, the Japanese finally put their minds to it.
Terror stems from the unknown, and the fact that rumors of massacre spread and were believed by everyone also confirmed the guilty conscience of these thugs.
Xiao Letian will not engage in genocide. Blood debt should be paid with blood, but indiscriminate killing is absolutely not allowed. The continuous sitting method can ensure that any thug stained with Chinese blood will get the punishment he deserves, and then Xiao Letian also formulated punitive taxes on the Japanese.
From now on, all taxes on the Japanese will be doubled within ten years. This is the punishment for those who did not kill but took advantage of the situation. Of course, Xiao Letian also has his own little calculation. After imposing punitive taxes on the Japanese, the competitiveness of those Japanese businessmen will It will be even lower and it will definitely become a vassal of Chinese businessmen.
From today on, the Naha business district has completely become the back garden of the Chinese people, and the owner of this garden is Xiao Letian's Lotte Matheson.
The Japanese riot was quickly quelled by Sakamoto Ryoma's comfort. Ryoma-kun on a stretcher was carried around, going to concentration camps one after another to pacify the people. When the Japanese saw that Sakamoto Ryoma was still alive, and when they heard Xiao Letian's extremely harsh punishment regulations, all the Japanese felt relieved.
Immediately afterwards, the British captain urgently printed some photos of Xiao Letian's blood transfusion and rescued people. Without saying anything, he posted one in a concentration camp. When the Japanese saw the photos, no one could believe their eyes. They didn't even believe that there was a way to save lives through blood transfusion in this world, and they didn't even believe that Mr. Xiao in China would be selfless enough to use his own blood to save the enemy.
Countless Japanese people flocked to Sakamoto Ryoma to verify the authenticity over and over again. When they got the exact answer, all the Japanese people went crazy. Their hearts were filled with guilt. Countless people knelt in front of the photo and softly confessed their sins. .
Things finally took a dramatic turn. The Japanese went from being disobedient and arrogant at the beginning, to fear and panic after the war, and now they have become outright admirers. Countless people shouted the nickname of the unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, the living Bodhisattva in this world, and knelt down in the direction of the photo and even in the direction of Ying no Sutra.
Human hearts are made of flesh, and there are so many hard-hearted people in the world. When you truly touch the most vulnerable part of his soul, the influence will come naturally.
From that day on, the Japanese in the concentration camp began to build simple shrines, which enshrined not gods or Buddhas but photos of Xiao Letian saving people through blood transfusions. From that moment on, Xiao Letian's image gradually became a bit mythical. What's even more incredible is that a hundred years later, the Japanese and indigenous people of Ryukyu actually bought Sakura Noso and converted it into a temple dedicated to Xiao Letian, which has been popular for generations.
Of course, that was all after Xiao Letian's death. Now he didn't notice such subtle changes. He just felt that no matter where he rode his horse, as long as the Japanese saw him, they would immediately kneel down and worship him, and kept saying " self-mumbling.
Xiao Letian was embarrassed to ask, so he finally asked Nohira to inquire about it, only to find out that the Japanese were only talking about unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and living Bodhisattva in the world, and they had begun to worship Xiao Letian as a god.
Xiao Letian, who couldn't laugh or cry, let out a long breath. He now understood that his Ryukyu strategy had completely won, and the Japanese had been completely conquered from top to bottom.
"I'm going to attack you..." Xiao Letian let out a wolf howl in the long night, causing birds to fly around Yingzhijiu. Starting from the next day, the temporary guards in Naha city began a large-scale military training.
These Chinese and Ryukyu natives who followed Xiao Letian on the long street did not have to worry about their loyalty. Now Xiao Letian is a god-like existence in their hearts.
One hundred thousand Chinese and millions of Ryukyu natives provide Xiao Letian with sufficient sources of troops, and as a powerful prime minister like Cao Cao, the entire power center of the Ryukyu Kingdom has completely surrendered to him. No matter what Xiao Letian wants to do, there is no objection at all.
"Change, change, change! Change it all for me... Put away all the bullshit Qing military system. I can't bear to hear those stinky and long names and official positions of generals. From today on, the army will completely use the Western-style military system... …”
Ten people form a squad, which is the most basic unit of the entire army, and then it is based on a three-three system. Three squads form a platoon, three platoons form a company, and so on, the battalion, regiment, brigade, division and finally the army.
Of course, Xiao Letian doesn't have the financial resources to form an army now. He just wants to form an elite force of about a thousand people to nominally serve as the Maritime Trade Guard to protect the maritime trade routes around Naha. In fact, Xiao Letian wants to What is needed is a Marine Corps.
More than a thousand people are equivalent to the strength of a regiment. At the beginning, Tanggu Xie Tai Ma Bao's Green Camp soldiers were larger than this number. Such a small number of soldiers is an extremely weak military force for Ryukyu, Japan, the Qing Dynasty, and even the Western powers, and there is no threat at all.
However, no one knew that Xiao Letian's army would soon become the military force with the highest combat effectiveness and the most advanced equipment in the world at that time.
First of all, Xiao Letian is rich. He can invest millions of silver taels to purchase the world's top weapons and equipment. The front-loading Remington rifle is just used excessively for military training, including Spencer, which is just a weapon for the assault team. Xiao Letian even wanted to purchase an American-made electrostatic gun, the ancestor of the heavy machine gun, the Gatling hand-cranked machine gun.
Sufficient funds allow Xiao Letian to spend as much as he wants, so he can make the most top-notch individual weapons. Moreover, Xiao Letian would also equip a regiment of soldiers with a separate artillery battery to provide heavy firepower support.
Money is only one aspect of improving combat effectiveness. Secondly, Xiao Letian also possesses magical skills that people in this era simply cannot have, and that is the historical knowledge brought by time travellers. In Xiao Letian's mind, he knew all about the evolution history of weapons in this era. What kind of weapon system would be tested by war? There was no need to think about it at all. Mature solutions could be used as soon as they were brought.
In a few years, the German Mauser rifle will begin to appear. This will be the mainstream of infantry weapons in the future. Xiao Letian will never let it go, even including the development of warships on the ocean. The weapons dealers of this era really picked the wrong opponent if they wanted to deceive him.
Being rich and forward-thinking, plus countless loyal young men trying to join in, this is bound to make Xiao Letian's recruitment plan go very smoothly.
"Brothers, I brought you out from Tanggu. Fully half of the more than sixty good brothers were killed or disabled in the battle. I, Xiao Letian, am sorry for you..." At the celebration dinner, Xiao Letian held up his wine glass sadly. Feeling sad, the first glass of wine was thrown to the earth to pay homage to the dead.
When it came to the war dead, all the brothers present shed tears. Although the battle of Naha was successful, the price paid was heavy enough, and the battle loss ratio actually reached half.
"But brothers, now is not the time for us to stop and rest. Don't think that one Naha is the end of our career. Now is not the time for enjoyment. All the gentlemen present, starting from tomorrow, you will work in groups of three and three, every day If you lead a company individually, you will be the most junior officers..."
Half of the thirty elites Xiao Letian mentioned were musketeers led by Luo Huo, and the other half were the Green Forest Special Forces formed by Xiao Letian. These were all trained by Xiao Letian himself. It can be said that they have initially received Western-style military training. Let them work in groups of three or three and lead a company of 90 people. There should be no major mistakes.
The ten companies are the starting point of Xiao Letian's career. He wants to educate these thousands of young men as officers. Whether it is future army expansion or secretly adding sand to the Qing army system, these loyal young men are all treasures. .
Xiao Letian looked at the bright-eyed brothers at the banquet and smiled slightly, "Don't get excited yet. What I want is not the big-headed soldiers who used to serve as soldiers and eat food. What I want is a group of officers who can read and write. In the future, there will be a lot of people." This mission is for you. Now you know why I keep forcing you to read and write, right?"
Only then did the brothers understand why Xiao Letian always takes reading and literacy as the first criterion when selecting his personal guards. It turns out that the secret is hidden here, and the adults actually want to train all the personal guards into officers! In an instant, the possibility that people had discussed secretly appeared before their eyes out of thin air.
Sir, you really want to rebel, you really want to! For a moment, everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and a few of them could not hold their breath and almost jumped up.
Xiao Letian has now developed a strong aura of domination, and he suppressed all the restless emotions at the banquet with a glance. He put down the wine glass and said coldly, "Starting tomorrow, you will go down to select soldiers. Remember to eat and live with everyone, and teach them step by step what left and right are, what queues are, and what discipline is. Not only that, in the future, I will also find foreign instructors to teach you Western-style warfare..."
"Haha, today is the last day for you to relax. From tomorrow on, you will cry when you are tired!"
All of Xiao Letian's guards stood up from the tatami with a roar, "I'm not afraid of dying with you, are you still afraid of being tired? Being able to follow you to conquer the capital of a country and leave a name in history is already worth it. I will follow you in this life." Let’s go!” After saying that, everyone raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses.
Xiao Letian raised his hand and pressed it, asking them to sit down. He turned around and found that General Liang Kun looked a little lonely. Xiao Letian knew what he was thinking, so he walked over and offered him a drink alone. General Liang Kun raised his glass with both hands and quickly said don't dare.
"General Liang Kun, are you afraid that I will forget the achievements of you and your brothers?" Xiao Letian teased.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. To be honest, when you came to Naha, I did have a look down on you. I always thought you were just a lucky minister who was greedy for power. But after this battle, I was convinced, and I have lived for most of my life. , I have never seen a civil servant who can charge in the first place, you are really talented, you can really risk your life!"
"I, Liang Kun, have admired heroes all my life. From now on, my life and that of my brothers will be sold to you. I hope you don't dislike it!" After saying this, Liang Kun fell to the ground.
Xiao Letian did not help him but said calmly, "Don't think too much. I didn't arrange for you and your brothers to join the officer corps. It's not that you are not brave enough or qualified, but that you really don't understand the ways of modern firearms warfare!" If you want to work with me, just listen to me, forget your past achievements, calm down and blend in."
"You will be broken up and integrated into each company. You will start as soldiers and learn little by little. You are all veterans. You will definitely learn new tactics very quickly. I believe that sooner or later you will be able to stand alone.
Liang Kun and his military officer representatives had long since given up. This battle had allowed them to truly get to know Xiao Letian, and all their previous doubts had long since disappeared.
"I am willing to die for you!" A group of people all fell to the ground.
At this time, Xiao Letian turned his attention to Nohira Tai and the others, who were all dressed in kimonos. His eyes just glanced at this group of Japanese people who suddenly straightened up their bodies and stood upright. The hope in their eyes could be understood by any fool.
Haha, these Japanese people really care too much about utilitarianism, but this is good. Some soldiers are good soldiers.
