Chapter 133 - Post-War Celebration

When Xiao Letian came up with the punishment plan for the battle in front of thousands of people, these Japanese finally stopped worrying about him.

The terror originated from the unknown. The fact that the rumor about the massacre of the city could be spread and believed by everyone proved the guilt of these thugs.

Xiao Letian would never resort to genocide. It was only right that he pay with blood, but killing wantonly was impossible. Using sit-down would ensure that any thug who was tainted with Chinese blood would receive the punishment they deserved, and following that, Xiao Letian imposed a punitive tax on the Japanese.

From today onwards, the tax revenue of the Japanese would double in ten years. This was the punishment for those who did not kill people but took advantage of the situation to rob people. Of course, Xiao Letian also had his own schemes to punish the Japanese with tax, so those Japanese merchants would become even less competitive and would definitely become vassals of the Chinese merchants.

From today onwards, the Tyrant's Business Circle would become the garden at the back of the Chinese people, and the owner of this garden would be Xiao Letian's Letian Firm.

Under Sakamoto Ryoma's pacification, the riots in the Japanese soon subsided, the Mr. Ryoma on the stretcher was carried around, one by one, to pacify the people. When the Japanese saw that Sakamoto Ryoma was still alive, when they heard Xiao Letian's incomparably harsh punishment regulations, all the Japanese s felt at ease.

Then, the British captain quickly printed a few pictures of Xiao Letian transferring blood to save him. Without a second thought, he stuck one in the camp, but when the other Japanese saw the pictures, they could not believe their own eyes. Even if they were beaten to death, they would never believe that there was a blood transfusion magic in this world, much less that Lord Xiao of China was selfless enough to use his own blood to save his enemies.

Countless Japanese rushed in front of Sakamoto Ryoma to verify its authenticity. After obtaining a definite answer, all of the Japanese s went mad, their hearts filled with guilt. Countless citizens knelt in front of the photos and repented their sins in a low voice.

Things had finally changed dramatically. Japanese had been arrogant in the beginning, and now, her fear and panic after the war had completely turned into admiration. Countless people were calling out the nickname of the living Bodhisattva of this world ”unparalleled righteousness, unparalleled righteousness” and ”living Bodhisattva of this world” as they kowtowed in the direction of the photo and even the Cherry Blossom House.

The heart is the flesh, in this world, how can there be so many hard-hearted people, when you truly touch the most fragile part of his soul, the experience is natural.

From that day onwards, the Japanese in the concentration camp began to construct a simple shrine. What was inside was not a shrine to the Divine Buddha but a picture of Xiao Letian saving another person with blood transfusions. From that moment on, Xiao Letian's image became more and more mythical. What was even more inconceivable was that a hundred years later, the Japanese and natives of the Ryukyu actually bought the Cherry Blossom House and made it into a shrine to Xiao Letian.

Of course, that was after Xiao Letian died, he did not notice such a subtle change right now. He only felt that no matter where he went, the moment Japanese saw him, they would immediately kneel down and worship him while mumbling to himself nonstop.

Xiao Letian was also embarrassed to ask, but in the end, he still let Yepingtai go and investigate. Only then did he know that those Japanese were just talking about unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and the living Buddha of this world. They had already started to worship Xiao Letian as if he was a god.

Xiao Letian, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let out a long sigh. He finally understood that his Ryukyu strategy had been completely conquered until now.

”Savage army, I, your father, am going to be violent army …” In the long night, with a howl of the wolf, Xiao Letian alarmed the birds in the surroundings of the Cherry Blossom House. From the second day onwards, the temporary guards of the city began to train their troops.

The Chinese and Glazed sphere aboriginals warriors who fought alongside Xiao Letian on the long street didn't need to worry about their loyalty at all. In their hearts, Xiao Letian was like a god right now.

A hundred thousand Chinese people and a million Glazed sphere aboriginals s, provided Xiao Letian with sufficient troops. Furthermore, as his authority, the entire Ryukyu Kingdom had submitted to him. No matter how Xiao Letian tried, he could not make a single sound against it.

”Change it!” All of them have been changed by me... What kind of bullshit Great Clear Army system is this, I can't wait to hear the names and positions of those smelly and long generals. ”From today onwards, the army will be made entirely in the western style …”

Ten people a squad, the most basic unit of the entire army, and then three triples. Three platoons for one platoon, three platoons for one company, with such battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions and so on as the last army.

Of course, Xiao Letian didn't have that much money to build an army, he just wanted to build an elite army of about a thousand strong. On the surface, it was named as the Ocean Trade Guard to protect the surrounding Ocean Commerce Road, but in reality, what Xiao Letian wanted to set up was just a Marine Corps.

Over a thousand people was equivalent to a regiment's strength. Back then, Ma Bao had more Green Battalion under the Tanggu than this group. To the Ryukyu, Japan, and even the Western Powers, such a small number of soldiers were an extremely weak military force. They were not even a threat to them.

However, no one knew that Xiao Letian's army would very soon become the most battle-ready and advanced military force in the world.

Firstly, Xiao Letian was rich, he could invest a million silver into purchasing the world's top tier weapons and equipment. Xiao Letian even wanted to buy the American electric guns, which were the ancestors of heavy machine guns, the Gatling s' handgun.

With sufficient funds, Xiao Letian would be able to squander everything he had. Furthermore, Xiao Letian also wanted to give a group of soldiers a separate artillery company, which would specifically provide heavy firepower support.
