Not every Southern Song fugitive was willing to leave his hometown and live a life of Japan or even become a Japanese citizen.

They still have a strong hometown complex in their hearts, but they are forced by current affairs or by the family patriarch, so they have to leave their hometown to seek refuge in Japan.

The Tianwang Army organization used their thoughts to successfully open up the situation within them. On the condition of allowing them to return to their hometown to live a normal life, it obtained a group of "insiders" who fled from the Southern Song Dynasty to convey messages to them.

Through this relationship, they opened up a message channel for the upper class of Japan's powerful and wealthy, and learned about Japan's political and military trends and some secrets that outsiders could not know.

There are people in Fan Li and Zhang Zeli's family who are willing to cooperate with the Tianwang Army. They do not want to betray the family, but they really want to return to their hometown after the Ming Dynasty attacks Japan.

They really miss their hometown.

Japan's intelligence collection of Ming Dynasty was a problem. After all, Quanzhou and Guangzhou were too far away from Zhong, but the Ming Dynasty directly set up an intelligence organization in the capital Heian Kyo, which could directly detect a large amount of information about the Japanese ruling class.

Therefore, how the Japanese ruling class viewed the Ming Dynasty, and the revolutionary actions of the entire Ming Dynasty, including how it used the Southern Song Dynasty fugitives and the thoughts against the Ming Dynasty to consolidate its power, were all discovered by the Skynet Army, and then summarized them in detail and sent them back to Zhongdu.

Su Yonglin was busy with many things before, so he didn't care about these trivial matters and didn't pay much attention to them.

When Hu Wei's news came and made him realize that he could launch a crusade against Japan, he found some intelligence to watch and learned about these interesting things.

He was not angry about what Hei Kiyoshi did, nor did he think these things were worthy of his anger. Instead, he had a relatively good review of Hei Kiyoshi and thought he was a little capable person.

"Hei Kiyomori had political skills. He made full use of the fugitives of the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo, used their characteristics of rootless duckweed to conquer them for their own use, and used their cultural advantages to influence the top Japanese leaders, successfully splitting the top Japanese leaders and making it impossible for them to unite against themselves.

This person now has the highest real power that Mu Yong doubts in Japan, has an advantage in the central government, and controls almost half of Japan's ruling country in the local area. He not only has political advantages, but also economic advantages. If you want to say that other forces in Japan have no longer able to compete with it."

"He is quite capable."

Xin Qiji looked through some information and said slowly: "If this battle is just to obtain silver and gold, there is no need for a hundred thousand troops to be dispatched, but if our goal is not just this, a hundred thousand troops are needed. What do you think?"

"In the past, I mostly thought of attacking Japan for gold and silver, but now it's not."

Su Yonglin pointed to the world map and said: "To take down the Japanese islands, you can first obtain the population of Japan. According to estimates, they have at least five million people, and if they remove the exploiting class, there are more than four million.

The person is not much different from us in appearance. As for language, the education will be similar in the future. Liaodong and the Northwest need population, and it is difficult for us to mobilize internally. This group of Japanese are the best choice.

In addition, when we want to further open up the waterways on the continent across the sea, it will be much easier, the waterways will be much shorter, and for us, it will reduce a lot of consumption, isn’t it?”

"Is it feasible to transfer their population to Liaodong and the Northwest? Isn't it a problem to raise a tiger?"

Xin Qiji looked at Su Yonglin and hesitated: "After all, we are not our own people. If we live in places that are already lacking in population, we may be worried about overturning."

"Just look like it, as for the origin, it's easy to make up."

Su Yonglin smiled: "When Xu Fu brought three thousand boys and girls to Peng Island to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang, but he never returned. Now some people think that Xu Fu has arrived in Japan?

We can use this as a basis to teach the Japanese survivors, so that they can be convinced that they are descendants of the Qin people, and the same language as us, and this time they are just returning to their hometown.

Anyway, they are basically illiterate and have no culture at all. Whoever educates them first can gain their recognition. It doesn’t take much effort for these people. After a generation, they will be our own people.

By then, the Northwest and Liaodong will add more than 4 million hard-working populations, and the development level will be greatly improved. Judging from the current situation, this is very beneficial, and the absolute benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

Xin Qiji thought about it and felt that what Su Yonglin said made sense. For a piece of white paper, whoever writes and draws on it is the most important thing, and the white paper itself is not important.

By controlling education, we will control the future. After a generation, there will be no Japanese, only the Ming people.

This doubt was resolved and a new doubt was born again.

Xin Qiji looked down at the world map, his eyebrows not stretched.

"The news about the New World across the sea is not optimistic. Do you value it so much? According to the current situation, the New World does not seem to be that valuable. It is probably not appropriate to make a big fight for unknown things."

Su Yonglin shook his head.

"When a baby is born, no one knows what he can do. We need to be patient. What's more, this is a plan that has been prepared for five years. Whether it is the current gold and silver or the future gold and silver, the Ming Dynasty needs it very much."

Xin Qiji did not comment on this.

Later, at the internal meeting of the Executive Committee, Su Yonglin's suggestion was not opposed, and even Xin Qiji himself did not explicitly object. Of course, Su Yonglin also admitted that Xin Qiji's worries were not unreasonable.

Unlike the large number of mineral veins discovered by the Nanyang Expedition Fleet on Liuqiuda Island and the Luzon Islands, the Beiyang Expedition Fleet has a tragic fate.

The first voyage of the Beiyang Expedition fleet lasted for a year. When they came back, according to their statement, they probably arrived in the Alaska area and saw a deserted snow field.

At that time, the fleet encountered two smaller sea storms, with considerable losses, and many people became ill and frostbite, and the fleet was depressed. After building a docking base in the local area, they returned.

Interestingly, they brought back some captured seals and a polar bear full of pure white, which was considered the biggest gain of this expedition voyage.

Although this guy died soon after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty because he was unacceptable to the local conditions, his pure white bear skin was made into clothes or handicrafts and would have a very high value and could be sold abroad for a good price.

Despite this, a bear skin cannot make up for the loss of this voyage, because the loss is indeed quite large and there are many criticisms. If it weren't for Su Yonglin's support, the Beiyang Expedition Fleet might not have had a second voyage.

With the first experience and preparation for the second voyage, they successfully arrived in the Alaska area, and this time they found groups of Inuits here.

The fleet members were surprised to find that the appearance of the Inuits was too similar to theirs. They thought they had come to their relatives' homes, but the other party lived so far from the Chinese mainland, and they really didn't know what was going on.

The Inuits also tried to communicate because the Ming people looked similar to them and had no hostility.

The two sides exchanged calls and gestures for a while, and finally let the Inuit tribe understand that the Ming people set up a residential base here without any malice. They just wanted to stay, and they had to sail further away, and they were resting here.

The fleet leader and the first person in charge of the Navigation Division of the World Liaison Department of the Revival Society, Chen Zhenxian brought some members of the fleet to show the Inuit people.

This is some pickled meat and pickled vegetables, as well as vegetables and a small amount of fruits specially grown on the boat, as well as a large amount of bean sprouts, as well as the tea they carry with them, etc.

The Inuits have never seen these foods, but this does not prevent them from realizing that these are foods.

They carefully accepted the food given to them by some Ming people, and selected some people to eat them and observe their reactions.

When these people were surprised to show that the food was extremely delicious and there was no discomfort at all, Inuit people confirmed the friendship of the Ming people.

Then, in order to express their gratitude and friendship, they also took out their food and gave it to the Ming people.

It was winter and the weather was cold and the Inuits gave away all kinds of fish, seal meat, and their unique food, pickled puffins.

Chen Zhen first knew other meats, but he was a little curious about pickled puffins because these things emitted a stinking smell.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Zhenxian has a strong taste.

He is from Jiangnan and has the habit of making pickled food in his hometown. The delicious taste with fragrance in his stinkyness is his favorite, so he is not like others, who immediately retreats to this kind of black and smelly food.

He asked the locals how to eat this kind of thing. The locals grinned, squeezed and sucked the place on their butt with pickled puffins, and then looked intoxicated and satisfied.

Chen Zhen successively stated that he had actually done psychological construction at that time.

But when the strange juice was actually in his mouth, he still felt a stinky smell hit his forehead and fucked him and vomited continuously.

Heavy mouth, really heavy mouth!

Of course, the Inuits would not think that if they could not eat this kind of delicacy, they were not friends. Not everyone could speak so heavily within them. There were many people who ate this thing and vomited.

So some Inuit people choose to pull out their feathers and eat meat instead of eating the weird juice in their bodies.

On the contrary, the food brought to them by the Ming people was more in line with their taste, and what surprised them the most was the salt and honeycomb coal that was used as fuel.
