"The twenty-third year of Guangxu…Isn't that 1897?”Zhuge Qing calculated silently in her heart and came to a conclusion. " Am I transported to the year 1897 with the 'pinnacle warship' system?”
Two years before 1897, in 1895, a fierce war broke out between the Sui Empire and the Japan Empire. It was known as the "Jiawu War". The Di Empire suffered a crushing defeat in the war. Not only were they forced to compensate Japan with 200 million taels of silver, but they also ceded the Bay Island to Japan.
This was also the main reason why there were Japanese warships near Bay Island!
"In 1897, the Bay Island was occupied by Japan…Hehe, how interesting.”The corner of Zhuge Qing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a creepy smile that made people shudder. "Alright, the first step to conquering the world will start from Bay Island.”
"Do you know how many troops Japan has stationed on Bay Island? Where were those troops stationed?”Zhuge Qing made up her mind and asked the middle-aged man.
"Benefactor, why are you asking this?”When the middle-aged man heard Zhuge Qing's question, his body immediately trembled violently as he shouted excitedly. "Benefactor, you…could it be that you were sent by the Dayao Empire to save the people of our Bay Island?”
"The Dayao Empire? Hehe, don't mix me with those trash. They're not worthy.”Zhuge Qing laughed and said coldly. "I am a heavenly god from the Nine Heavens. The supreme Heavenly Emperor saw Emperor Hun's fatuous and unreasonable behavior, and he sympathized with the sufferings of all living beings. He sent me to the lower realm to save the common people.”
He knew that China was very superstitious in ancient times. The emperors of the past dynasties all called themselves the " Son of Heaven." Instead of wasting his breath explaining his origins, he might as well make up an identity of a god who had descended to the mortal world and solve this problem once and for all.
"Lord Savior, you…you are actually a god who has descended to the mortal world?!”The middle-aged man's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "Kneel down! The two of you, kneel down immediately!" He hurriedly brought his two children and knelt down again.
Although he didn't really believe Zhuge Qing's words, it didn't stop him from feeling grateful towards her. Zhuge Qing had saved their family of three. He was willing to be Zhuge Qing's first and most devout believer!
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Answer my question.”Zhuge Qing said coldly.
"Yes, benefactor…oh no, Lord Heavenly God.”The middle-aged man said respectfully. "Lord Heavenly God, this commoner is a fisherman who deals with the sea all day long, so I don't know much about the interior of Bay Island. I've only heard people say that Japan has a division stationed in Tai Bei, an exploration team stationed in Keelung, and an exploration team stationed in Danshui. In places like Tai Dong, Tai Nan, and Gao Xiong, Japan only had one regiment.”
"Yes, they have quite a number of troops." Zhuge Qing thought to herself.
According to the basic structure of the Japanese army, a division had 18000 people, an exploration team had 8000 people, and a regiment had 3000 people. Putting everything else aside, just counting the large cities alone, the number of Japanese soldiers had exceeded 40,000.
This was a very powerful military force that was far from what his current strength could resist!
"Lord Heavenly God, I've basically heard about the matters in the inland of Bay Island from others. I can't be sure. However, I know the situation of the Japanese army stationed on the islands near Bay Island like the back of my hand.”The middle-aged man continued.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Zhuge Qing's eyes flashed.
"Lord Heavenly God, Japan has a regiment, three warships, and some fishing boats in the Penghu Islands. This regiment is divided into three large groups, and they are stationed on Penghu Island, Fisherman Island, and White Sand Island.”The middle-aged man said. "As for the other small islands, such as Hujing, Jibei, Wangan, and so on, there are at most a team of 100 people.”
"How do you know so much about Japan's garrison?”Zhuge Qing looked down at the middle-aged man without blinking and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Heavenly God, I knew I couldn't hide it from you.”The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said. "I was originally called Jian Jinghua, a general under Lord Liu Yongfu. Back then, after the Black Flag Army failed to defeat the Japanese, I was lucky enough to survive.”
"However, I have never given up on fighting against the Japanese. I have been investigating the deployment of the Japanese army as a fisherman. I hope that one day I can see the teacher who has descended from the heavens. I have already done my best!”
"The heavens do not disappoint those who work hard. I have finally met you, Lord Heavenly God!”
"The original general of the Black Flag Army?" Zhuge Qing nodded and said. "Jian Jinghua, are you willing to follow me?”
He wasn't interested in whether Jian Jinghua was telling the truth or not because he had a firm grasp on whether Jian Jinghua was sincerely following him or had ulterior motives!
"Lord Heavenly God, this is the greatest honor of this commoner!”Jian Jinghua said excitedly. "Xiao Tian, Tu Yan, why aren't the two of you thanking the Heavenly God for his grace?”
"Thank you for your grace, Lord Heavenly God." Jian Xiaotian and Jian Tuyan said loudly.
"Ding! Obtained the loyalty of Jane Essence. Obtained 1 resource."
"Ding! Obtained Jian Xiaotian's loyalty. Obtained resource 1."
"Ding! Obtained Jian Tuyan's loyalty. Obtained 1 resource."
Almost at the same time, the sound of system notifications rang out in Zhuge Qing's mind.
"Killing two people is one resource, and if you can get their loyalty, one person is one resource.”Zhuge Qing stroked her chin and muttered to herself. "Although the resources are a little low, there are many people in this world. Should I build my own country and power?”
To be honest, he did not consider establishing his own country and power at the beginning, but now, he was a little tempted.
"Yes, it's decided. I want to build a country that belongs to me alone. I want to build the strongest and largest country in history!”Zhuge Qing clenched her fists tightly and said in a low voice.
