The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 591: The Collapse of the Northern Powers of the Japanese Island

As for how to identify Hebrew speakers, Jiang Fan gave clear instructions. He was very familiar with the characteristics of Hebrew speakers.

Although they look like Westerners, they are still very easy to identify and it is impossible to fool them.

When Jiang Fan entered the northern forces of Japan, Chu Yan'er's anti-smoking campaign along the coast also achieved unprecedented success. Almost all the officials along the coast were replaced. And the Hebrew people and opium at least could not enter China.

In addition, with the strengthening of naval patrols and the close monitoring of merchant ships, it became even more difficult for opium to enter.

Netani, who had just reached a cooperation agreement with Emperor Jinji in the north, was dumbfounded after receiving the news from China.

He originally thought that his opium plan should be able to open the door to China, and he even thought about taking this opportunity to cause chaos in China. They could also take the opportunity to control China.

But he never expected that his opium strategy would be broken by Jiang Fan in a short time just after it was launched. If opium could not be transported in, how could he support a force to help him slowly develop it?

Netani reacted and prepared to turn his attention to the northern barbarian land, which is said to be now called Silla. Of course, in addition to the northern barbarian land, he also wanted to shift his strategic focus to the land of Nanyue.

It is said that there are many small countries in the Baiyue area below the Nanyue area. If these countries can be controlled with opium, perhaps several forces can be developed to help them fight against China.

Netani immediately reported the news back to England in the west. The ancestral home of the Hebrew people today is in England.

And the places they extended from the west, including the present-day east, there are several other continents they discovered, but they have just entered those continents. They are still in the development stage.

Just when Netani passed the news back to England, Jiang Fan had already launched an attack on the Japanese forces in the north.

The first place they attacked was Sakagu Castle, which was the border with the Japanese forces in the south. Jiang Fan spent three months to stabilize the Japanese forces in the south.

Everything was developing as Jiang Fan had expected. The Japanese did not resist. In other words, compared with the previous rule of their Emperor Kōsei, the current Chinese rule was more stable.

There were no heavy taxes and no exploitation. They had jobs, wages, land to farm, and a stable life. They didn't have to worry about not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.

Not only agriculture is developing, even industry is developing, and commerce is also developing in a good direction. Jiang Fan does not stop the Japanese from doing business. The development of the entire south is thriving.

In addition, Jiang Fan also organized the Japanese to learn Chinese literature and the Chinese language. The migrating Chinese people were slowly merging with the Japanese.

The Japanese did not have any hostility towards the Chinese. After all, the Chinese did not oppress them. Relatively speaking, it was their former government that oppressed them too much, which made them resentful of the Japanese government for a long time.

When Jiang Fan attacked Sakagu Castle, people from the north and south were even interacting with each other, and the two sides had already exchanged information.

Compared to the people in the north who lived under the rule of Emperor Jinji, the Japanese people in the north were envious of the lives of the people in the south. They even hoped that Jiang Fan's army could seize the northern land as soon as possible so that they could live a good life.

After all, ever since Netani arrived in the north, they didn't know how many people had been conscripted to work. Not only were they not paid, but even the taxes had to be increased.

Once the people had any thoughts of resistance, they would almost be in danger of being exterminated. Even those Japanese who had some assets were in big trouble.

The Japanese today hate the Hebrews to the core, because not only has their lives become more difficult since the arrival of the Hebrews.

As opium appeared in the northern lands, the people suffered greatly from it, and many families were destroyed. However, Emperor Jinji turned a blind eye to it and even opened the door for the Hebrew people and became involved in its corruption.

They only thought about their own interests and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. Under such circumstances, those people had no sense of belonging to Emperor Jinji in the north.

Ordinary people don’t have any sense of family and country. They don’t have any culture themselves. In order to restrict their thoughts, the rulers do not allow them to have a high level of culture.

On the contrary, because of this reason, they don't know what national justice and patriotism are. Their demands are simpler.

That is, as long as they can survive and live a good life, who cares who rules? Just like in the previous life, when China fell into the hands of foreign races, the people resisted at first, but in the end, they also slowly got used to it.

Therefore, Jiang Fan was not worried about not being able to turn the Japanese island into a part of China. As long as he treated the Japanese well, the final result would only make the Japanese return to China.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking among the Japanese people that it even affected the Japanese army. After all, the Japanese army was recruited from ordinary people.

When Jiang Fan's army was approaching the city, before Jiang Fan could even attack, the Japanese army in the city rebelled. They captured the rulers and opened the city to Jiang Fan.

Even the Hebrew-speaking commanders who remained in the city were captured in the end, and Jiang Fan captured Sakagu Castle almost without bloodshed.

In the following time, Jiang Fan kept moving forward, and almost everywhere he passed, people surrendered.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised at first, but he soon figured it out. His efforts in the south of the Japanese island were beginning to pay off. This also made him more confident in his idea of ​​turning Japan into a province of China.

As for Emperor Jinji, he was still confident that with the technological support of the Hebrew people, he would also be able to have a powerful army of firearms.

But he never expected that just when he was about to make great plans, he was slapped hard in the face. Jiang Fan's army was so powerful that he knew that his country was about to be destroyed.

He tried many things, but he couldn't stop the collapse of the situation. Not only did the cities that Jiang Fan attacked surrender, but even the cities in the rear also stopped obeying his orders.

At this time, Emperor Jinji finally reacted and cursed in his heart that the Hebrew people were poison and would bring bad luck wherever they went.

To be honest, if the Hebrew people had not come and brought harm to the people under their rule, such as opium and exploitation of the people, the current situation would not have occurred.

If the people no longer have a sense of belonging to the regime and lose the support of the people, then his rule will come to an end. It is too late to regret now.

Emperor Jinji came to his senses and was filled with anger. He wanted to vent his anger on Netani, but then he found that Netani had run away.
