Chapter 443 Zhao Liang is on fire

Unrest broke out within the Qing Dynasty, and the Zhao family's uprising attracted more attention than a Batavia in Southeast Asia.

As the close neighbor of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea and Japan, which are in Northeast Asia, are paying more attention to China's war.

North Korea is due to the constant "respecting the Ming and hating the Qing Dynasty" sentiment within it. Even though they have bowed their heads to the Qing Dynasty for 160 or 70 years, even if many North Korean ministers have given up on Qiu Qing and have regarded the Qing Dynasty as the upper state of the Celestial Kingdom that inherited the Ming Dynasty. However, when the Koreans learned about the Zhao family uprising and the Qing Dynasty's succession of defeats, many Korean nobles could not help but laugh and excitedly.

At this time, they did not believe that the Zhao family could really overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty was unlucky after all, it was not bad. As long as the Qing Dynasty was unlucky, they would be happy when they saw it.

And Japan's purpose is even more practical.

In recent years, the activities of the Beihai Trading Company on Sakhalin Island have become more and more extensive, and they have even come into contact with the Hokkien land. Although the Beihai Trading Company has set up a very small base there, it is still very vigilant to have long classified the Hokkien as the Edo Shogunate in Japan.

Before, Tsarist Russia wanted to have formal interactions with Japan, but Edo was flatly rejected.

This Beihai business comes from China, and history makes the Edo Shogunate unexpectedly Zhao Liang's ambitions for Japan, but he still has vigilance.

It’s just that Matsumae’s strength is too weak.

Its core area is limited to the small Dora Island Peninsula, and it is only an existence in the same sense as the vast Eurasian language.

The Matsumae Bible was unable to conquer the small stronghold of the Beihai Trading Company. Of course, the Shogunate had that strength. The Matsumae Bible was also willing to send troops because it was not only the Hokkien land, but the operation of the Beihai Trading Company on Sakhalin Island also damaged the interests of the Matsumae Bible.

Even though Matsumasabata does not have a fixed stronghold on Sakhalin Island, it is always just a season when summer comes and winter goes, and there is only a small poor tax office. However, the existence of Beihai Commercial Bank has caused their seasons to stagnate.

The head of the Beihai Commercial Bank on Sakhalin Island even pointed at the Matsumaki Bible and came to negotiate without hesitation, cursing, saying that Sakhalin Island was the territory of the Qing Dynasty and that they were just subordinates of the small country. They dared to come to build cities (tax offices) to collect taxes. Do you want to go to war with the Qing Dynasty?

The people who came to Matsumaki's wife first looked pale.

Then the in charge said again that the Beihai Commercial Bank was just unwilling to break up with you completely, but it wasn't really afraid of Matsumae's vassal, so don't make things boring for Matsumae's vassal.

The weak Matsumaki Fan could only swallow his anger and watched the Beihai merchants grow bigger on Sakhalin Island little by little, and watched them extend their tentacles into the Espresso.

It was also because of the activities of Matsumae's vassal on Sakhalin Island that the shogunate was a little worried. So he decided to polite first and then fight, and sent envoys to the Beihai Commercial Bank to contact him, and urged them to withdraw from the Hokkien land, if they did not work, they would deal with it with force. As a result, at this moment, the news that the Zhao family defeated the Dutch in Nanyang spread to Japan.

The Edo Shogunate immediately stopped everything.

The Dutch, who had been in Nanyang for two hundred years, was defeated by the Zhao family, which was too subverted the Japanese's perception.

They know very well about the Netherlands.

Although Japan is also closed to the country, many daimyos are fans of Lanxue. They collectively call Western science and technology Lanxue. Influenced by them, even Japan, who is closed to the country, has many scholars who have in-depth research on Western science, geography, astronomy, etc.

Historically, these people have played a major role in promoting the development and strength of Japan's productivity.

But it is precisely because of their understanding of the Western world that they understand the strength of the Netherlands better. Even if the Netherlands has made great losses in recent times, it should not be underestimated.

But the Zhao family behind the Beihai Business Company was able to defeat Batavia in Nanyang, which was beyond the Japanese's expectations.

To be on the safe side, the Edo Shogunate chose to continue to observe.

Then I kept observing the present.

When they knew that the Zhao family had rebelled, many people in the Edo Shogunate clapped and thought that the Zhao family was seeking death.

Many people firmly believe that the Zhao family will be ruined soon, and their presence in the north will no longer exist.

At that time, Japan could also take over the Zhao family's heritage, such as the small town in Essay, and more importantly, the three gathering places at the southern end of Sakhalin Island.

Not only are there cities but also certain immigrants there, and land has been opened. If taken over by Japan, their tentacles will truly reach into the Karata Island.

Unfortunately, the news from China was not beautiful. The Zhao family's huge strength was so powerful that the Edo Shogunate felt incredible when he heard it.

The soldiers gathered tens of thousands of troops, and a large number of muskets and artillery, and defeated the Qing Dynasty's military soldiers on the front, swept across the Central Plains in a short time.

Originally, the Zhao family started a military campaign in the Central Plains, which was considered an absolute geographical disadvantage in the eyes of the Japanese. However, Zhao Liang turned the geographical disadvantage into a geographical advantage.

From being attacked from all sides to attacking from all sides.

In a short time, thousands of miles were captured, and the south was confronted with South China across the Yangtze River; in the north, the Yellow River was stalemate with tens of thousands of Qing troops based on the canal nodes.

There is the danger of Tongguan to the west, blocked by endless mountains, and the vast sea to the east.

Although Zhao Liang is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of area to hard strength, there is no doubt that he is a popular person in Japan.

The Japanese devils' national character is just like this - they try to achieve a certain goal regardless of everything, even if they are shaking a big tree, even if they will be crushed to pieces in the end.

Zhao Liang's actions are very consistent with this.

Whether it was forced to go to Liangshan during the rebellion or sweeping thousands of troops after the rebellion, he had become a hero in the eyes of the Japanese without even realizing it.

It’s just that the Japanese prefer tragic heroes, so this does not prevent the Edo Shogunate from almost hoping that Zhao Liang would die if he failed.

So much so that after the latest war report reached Edo, the shogunate could not wait to send an envoy to Sakhalin Island.

Japan's latest battle report was obtained from North Korea - Chen's army won first and then lost, and defeated Mingliang's main force in the battle of Guantao, but cut off the logistics for Mingliang in Tianjin and turned defeat into victory.

The Koreans received the Qing Dynasty version of the war report.

Although they felt that the Qing Dynasty's preaching could not be fully believed, it was generally logical.

If Chen Jun hadn't lost, how could they retreat from Tianjin? That's Tianjin.

After the intelligence that was first handed out by the Koreans came to Japan, Mingliang defeated Chen Jun first and then won, and Yu Tianjin defeated Chen Jun.
