C397 Guotou Village (1/2)

The country was located at the northernmost part of the Bulbus Glazed Island and according to what was said today, it was considered to be one of the economically less developed regions of the Ryukyu. There were many mountains here and many reefs in the sea.

The beach outside the Guotou Village was in a limited area in the North Mountain that could be used to dock large ships. If the French were to land here from the North Mountain area, this five hundred meter long beach would be their only target.

Right now, the regular army garrisoned in the Guotou Village only has one company of troops, the rest were young and strong from the surrounding fishing villages, adding up, they only have a little more than one thousand people. However, looking at their clamoring and fighting like ducks, the Forces nouvelles soldiers s present could not help but shake their heads and sigh.

The Company Commander's surname was Chu, and his background was not simple. He was also the Musketeers that Xiao Letian had personally trained in the Taihang Mountains, together with Luo Huo and the others. If not for the fact that he failed the English test in this selection, he might even be part of the Shiqiao uplands's Blood War.

”Luo Houzi... Take a few people to the village to look around, how did this happen? At the west end of the village, whose stove had opened fire? ”Damn, the smell of the grilled fish has reached me …”

”Pass down the order …” Let the civilians quiet down. Since we all want to protect our homes, since we have already joined the military, we have to obey the military's orders! ”

”F * ck, stay if you can't listen to any orders. If you can't, hurry up and get out of here …”

Chu Zhao's usual temper was not like this. In the new army, he was famous for liking soldiers, but today, no matter how good his temper was, he could not hold it in.

The citizens of the Ryukyu Kingdom were the first people to receive a nationalist education in East Asia. Through a brutal and bloody battle with the Japanese, Xiao Letian allowed the natives, Chinese and even some of the Japanese Rangers s to understand what a nation was and what a nation was.

Under the cruel law of the jungle, if every race wanted to survive, they wanted to live better, or maybe they just wanted to protect themselves.

The Japanese Shimadzu Family had enslaved the Ryukyu for three hundred years, so what would be the last thing to rely on to chase them away? Of course, Xiao Letian and the others contributed a lot, but how could they do it with just the few hundred people under Xiao Letian's command? In the end, victory depended on the same kind, and the citizens who shared the same values walked together. They gathered under the Xiao character recognition flag and used their lives to carve out a road of revival.

It was only on that day that people understood that regardless of whether one was a Glazed sphere aboriginals, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, or even a newbie who had just crossed the sea from Qing Dynasty, as long as everyone spoke Chinese and could write Chinese characters, had the same festival and customs and abided by the same values, they were all of the same race.

They were willing to accept the values of the Chinese. Then under the sky of the Ryukyu Kingdom, everyone would be of the same race, and the Ryukyu would be everyone's country.

A bloody battle had given the concept of a nation with hundreds of thousands of citizens a chance, and Xiao Letian's crazed brainwashing afterwards had made this concept even more profound in the hearts of the people.

A devil who was good at manipulating people's hearts. He was very good at using all kinds of advanced methods to instill information into the masses.

The ten universities were currently desperately instilling nationalism and the concept of a nation into them. On the blackboard, besides the portrait of Shang Tai, there were also many people who said that the picture of Xiao Letian was even higher up than the one of Shang Tai. Many of the old officials were worried that Xiao Letian would replace them.

At the ends of the streets, people could often see Japanese shrines used for sacrifices. The offerings were not for the weird gods in the Japanese Islands, but rather, half of them were for the heroic shrines of the fallen soldiers. The other half were for the shrines to pray for Xiao Letian.

Inside, there were a lot of photos of Xiao Letian using his blood to treat Sakamoto Ryoma. In the midst of the rising smoke, the image of Xiao Letian was slowly becoming more and more mythical.

The people of Ryukyu were sincerely thankful for everything that the Prime Minister Xiao had brought them. Not only had they overthrown the brutal rule of the Shimadzu Family, and not only had they flourished due to the large amount of investment, but the most important thing was for Xiao Letian to let everyone understand a principle, which was how to survive the cruel competition of the 19th century.

In the 19th century, Asia was the home of the Second Industrial Revolution. In this era, whoever initiated the nationalism in Asia first, or understood what was going on with their country and nation, would become the locomotive of Asia and lead the world.

Fortunately, the people of Ryukyu were the first to awaken. This time, the contributions from the people amounted to over a million silver dollars. The number of young and strong people who volunteered to join the group of people reached a terrifying 70,000 silver coins.

Of course, Cai Mao and Liang Kun would not take all seventy thousand. On one hand, they didn't have that many weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, they didn't have that many military officers to command them.

The difference between the military and the common people lay in its discipline and organization. Discipline required a long period of military training, while organization required a large number of basic military officers.

It was a pity that he did not have these two Ryukyu Kingdom s at the moment.

His company and these thousand plus young and robust men had already been stationed at Guotou Village for three days, and Chu Zhao didn't even know how he managed to make it here in these three days.
