There were constant wars in the Japanese islands, and the tropical jungle areas in the South Ocean were not peaceful. The Jiuzhou Army occupied the South Ocean for more than two years, and there were still large-scale rebellions, all of which were rebellions initiated by landlords and non-secular forces who had seized the land.

Although the Jiuzhou Army launched the full-scale war in the South China Sea, a large number of princes and nobles were plundered to the north, the damaged vested interest groups were constantly looking for new representatives to raise the flag of rebellion.

The latest large-scale insurgency has been suppressed, and small-scale insurgency continues.

In the Ibilao Mountains near Maudmian in the former Tohoku country, a small team was moving quickly. They all held muskets, painted with colored mud on their faces, wore grass-green military uniforms, and had daggers hanging around their waists.

"Qianyi is the village where the rebels are located!" After searching the outer edge of the Ibilao Mountains, the team of the mountain camp finally found the stronghold of the local rebels.

"Get close to them quietly... You guys go to explore the terrain and make sure to find out the route suitable for attack. The others are waiting with me and no one is allowed to speak out. If they are discovered by the enemy, follow me to attack and behead the rebel generals." The squad leader said in a low voice.

There were only a few dozen people in their squad that came to Maolan to help suppress the rebellion, while there were probably thousands of rebels on the opposite side. Although some of the rebels were active in other villages, there were hundreds of people in the villages they needed to attack in front of them.

The uninvited guests stopped when they were still some distance from the rebel village. Some soldiers went to investigate, while others scattered to act as guard posts.

Soon the scouts found out the deployment of the rebel villages.

A special force composed of dozens of mountain camp soldiers rushed into the village with muskets when smoke came out of the village!

The muskets in their hands were the first to shoot at the rebel soldiers patrolling the village entrance, and they covered each other and rushed forward!

Basically, only the rebels with cold weapons were broken through without any resistance under the attack of elite squads. Beacons broke out in the villages, killing and wounding.

Hoi'an Port, the new garrison of the Nanyang Fleet, where various captains gathered here to report to the fleet commander Deng Qianlong, the situation of assisting the three major provinces in Nanyang to quell the rebellion.

"The Nanyang area was developed late, and there were many tropical rainforests and mountains. Our soldiers from further north could not bear the climate here... The rebels presented the tactics of small-scale roaming operations, and almost all used cold weapons, but they were elusive and quite difficult to deal with..."

The instability in the Nanyang situation is mainly because the Jiuzhou Army is an outsider to the locals, which harms the interests of local landlords and non-secular forces. In addition, the Nanyang is composed of peninsulars and a large number of islands, and its management is difficult. In history, no country in history can rule such a large area at the same time!

"The mountain camps and the marine brigade are all assisting in the war in our Nanyang area. Among them, the mountain camps have the most outstanding achievements. They are good at mountain combat. Every time they suppress the rebellion, they dare to go deep alone and defeat the enemy's villages set up in steep places." said a captain who assisted in infantry combat.

"It's okay to fight in the mountains, but the rebels who fled into the rain forest are difficult to deal with! The road conditions in the rain forest are extremely complicated, river nets are crowded, and sailboats are difficult to enter. Moreover, there are many mosquitoes, and some soldiers who entered the rain forest to suppress the bandits died of malaria. I suggest that we should change our deployment and turn our full suppression into a blockade." Another captain pointed his finger at the map hanging on the wooden wall.

"This large area and this area... are all backward and wild rainforest areas. If the rebels escape into the rainforest, we do not need to follow them and completely eliminate them. We just need to block the nearby villages and clear the walls, and we can drag them alive in the rainforest. Even if they are local natives, living in the rainforest for a long time without getting supplies from the outside world is extremely painful. They may give up resisting and surrender."

"Secondly, we can find ways to cultivate scouts and minions who are familiar with the local terrain. Scouts as spies invade the rebels, first, they can understand the location of their strongholds, and second, they can cause panic within them. The minions can make up for the losses of our standing army, and the fees paid to them are cheaper. They are also familiar with the local terrain, which is conducive to war."

"Furthermore, our army needs to establish special troops similar to mountain camps. Selection of people who are good at jungle combat from the army to form a battalion, and one battalion is divided into several squads. The number of people does not necessarily require too many, but it must be elite. The leader of the rebel army is generally a local family figure with the right to speak, and with his own influence, he can summon local people to follow him. Once the scouts find out the stronghold of the rebels, the special team will go to carry out the beheading operation, and the greatest results can be achieved at the lowest cost, and the enemy will be scattered in groups of birds and beasts."

"At present, the rebels from all over the country are powerful people in small places, and there is no trend of uniting. Three-pronged approach will surely hit the rebels' confidence."

The captain talked endlessly about his strategies to deal with the small-scale rebellion that broke out in the Southeast Asian countries.

"Chen Bangyan, you can compile a report and submit it to the Military Department and the Xijiaozhi Provincial Government. They should be able to adjust their strategies." Deng Qianlong said.

"Yes!" replied the captain, known as Chen Bangyan.

Chen Bangyan from Guangdong Province failed the exam many times and set up a museum in Foshan Town to teach pictures. He was known as Mr. Iwano. After the Jiuzhou Army entered Guangzhou Prefecture, he finally wanted to do something, so he abandoned his civil and military affairs and joined the Nanyang Fleet, and grew from a document to a captain.

He did not know that his personal fate had also undergone earth-shaking changes due to the rise of the Jiuzhou Army. In history, he was one of the local officials in Guangdong to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was killed by the Qing people in Qingyuan City.

In this world, he became the captain of the Jiuzhou Army's Nanyang Fleet and had an unlimited future.

While the Nanyang Fleet was evaluating the situation in the Nanyang area, rapid footsteps came from outside the house.

"The Western envoy fleet arrived at our Hoi An Port and asked us for a navigational approval order!" The official who managed the dock came to announce the news in a hurry.

"After a year, they finally got a reply. But it took a year to go back and forth, and the world was too vast." Deng Qianlong learned that the British envoys were coming again, and he felt that the world was so vast.

If you are a businessman who travels between two places, once the ocean is the spring and autumn.

"Issuing a navigation permit for them." Deng Qianlong said.

Western ships sailing in Southeast Asian waters in China must have a navigation permit for the South China Sea, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocative act.
