Up to now, except for the fact that there were no indigenous people and all existing residents moved to the New Neseril Thirteen State Colonies where the Faren Continent, the faith expansion of the Faren gods almost hit a wall everywhere and could not keep up with the pace of nautical colonization at all.

The reason for this sharp contrast is actually very simple. Indeed, compared with the Feren continent, which is at the peak of contemporary civilization, other areas of the planet Torrell seem to be behind in all aspects. Not only is the most obvious military technology backward, but also relatively hidden, but in fact more important institutional and cultural backward.

Since you are backward, you will naturally be beaten. The most backward Mazka continent is still in the budding period of civilization, so it has fallen completely and become a colony of elves. Many wealthy small countries in the Middle East have been attacked by various colonists and have become vassal states or overseas enclaves with maritime hegemony. The two ancient civilizations in the Far East have also been knocked on their doors and are being subject to increasingly serious interference and infiltration...

In addition, this is an era of courage and dreams, an era of exploration and conquest, an era of leaks where the world is full of flags by the navigator of the Feren continent, and a Western invader can easily occupy a country's crazy era as long as he sets up a few cannons on a coast in the east!

Indeed, the Tukans, the nomadic people on the prairie, are still invading the crumbling old overlord Serl Federation in the eastern part of the Feren continent, as well as ancient countries such as Muhammad, Lesserman, and Naphir who split out from it. But if we compare it with the many powerful countries in the western Bu to the world's nautical colonial conquests, this is just a small counterattack in the local area of ​​the ordinary field.

However, it is easy to expand territory, but it is much more difficult to change people's hearts. Compared with the general decline and weakness of the earthly kingdoms, the gods in the east in the sky do not have a fuel-efficient lamp. The huge influence accumulated by their hard work over thousands or even tens of thousands of years is not easily shaken by the gods of Faren in decades or hundreds of years.

In addition, the Far East residents are accustomed to changing orders every day, pursuing trends, and worshipping the temples, which also makes Western missionaries feel at a loss. As for the local beliefs, they are still stuck in the ignorant tribal totem stage, so the Mazka continent, which is easier for the indigenous people to change their beliefs, is a conquerot, but its conquerors are hostile to the elves kingdoms that are hostile to all human gods.

Therefore, so far, there are only one and a half of Western gods who have been successful in faith promotion. And that half of them is the magic goddess Mistra. If the Eastern countries want to keep up with the times and not be washed away by the tide of the times, they have to work hard to learn the advanced Western civilization; and if they want to learn the advanced Western civilization, they must let some people master the magic and alchemy system of the Feren continent; and once these guys consciously and proactively learn Western magic and alchemy, then a considerable proportion of them will definitely choose to believe in the magic goddess Mistra, or his god of gods, Azus, the god of the wizard.

However, although this method of transmission is safe, it has great limitations. Although "progressive elements" who are enthusiastic about learning Western civilization can find a few places, there are also not many people everywhere. Among them, there are even fewer people who focus on studying Western magic and alchemy, which lacks the ability to influence the upper and lower classes of local society. In addition, large-scale academic introductions such as this will also be effectively resisted by Eastern immortal arts, Taoism or Yin-Yang art schools. In fact, if the most critical difficulty of popularization is not considered, the Western art system does not have particularly obvious advantages compared to those in the East.

Therefore, although the church of the magic goddess Mistera has taken root in many areas in the East, there are basically few places that can be vigorously developed, and it can only be said to be half successful.

The only god Feren who has truly achieved a comprehensive victory in faith promotion is the Goddess of Trade and Wealth.

Her great success was based on the dumping of Western commodities and the circulation of Western currencies. For the Goddess of Trade and Wealth, every coin is her missionary, every market and warehouse is her church, and every successful transaction is to enhance her faith. As long as the merchant ships of Western colonists arrive, her faith will be spread to

inside.

The gods in the Eastern world may be able to restrain their believers and ask them to ignore the "heretics" overseas but cannot stop them from buying novel goods from maritime merchants or selling surplus products to foreign countries. As for the only effective countermeasure, close the country.

But it was forcibly broken by the admirers of free trade with warships and artillery.

The worse problem is that because the Oriental World Bureau has long contempt and suppressed business and businessmen, the Goddess of Trade and Wealth can easily find a powerful "Fifth Column" in the East to make breakthroughs by relying on internal and external attacks.

These Eastern merchants who defected to the Yajin Church were able to use the powerful force of Western colonists to deal with the ruling class of their own country, and on the other hand, they could use the great influence of the Yajin Goddess to restrict the rash movements of Western colonial forces, and eventually defeat domestic and foreign opponents and successfully achieve their rise. They advanced step by step towards the goal of chaebol rule. In the eyes of the gods, believers around the world are no different, both in the East and the West.

Therefore, when the Yajin Church initially realized localization in the Eastern world and spread rapidly with the help of these local snakes, a very delicate situation has emerged. The Yajin Church's division in the East is not only a product of colonial expansion on the Feren continent, but also a pioneer in opening the doors of the Eastern countries. However, it is also the most powerful force in these areas to resist colonial aggression, and is also under the dual pressure of the colonial aggression forces and the local old ruling class.

The branch forces that the Yajin Church has won in this Far East island country, namely the Dawei Merchant Group, are now facing this dilemma of both sides. Although it has basically controlled the power of the shogunate, it cannot change the hostility and contempt of the warriors across the country. Although it is relying on the power of the Far East Army of the Naserir Empire, the other party is a little intimate and seems to be unable to gather much. Finally, it seems that because of their belief in the God of Wealth, their own martial fortunes are really bad. Finally, it is difficult to invest a lot of money and cultivate a new army to use it to shock the inside and outside. At first, it seemed to be a little effective, but as soon as they entered the battle, they encountered the opening of the door. All the navy and half of the army sank to the bottom of the sea to feed fish and turtles."

As the news of Kumanotan's defeat spread across the country, the Edo Shogun website's slightly improved prestige immediately suffered a heavy blow. In this country that implements both feudal and dual government systems, if the central government's authority is

If you are in the local area, you will soon form the idea of ​​separatist six and large separatist ones. Then the local forces will be immediately formed by the empty arsenal of Kyoto. This ever-potent anti-government organization will try to connect them together to attack the shogunate that holds actual power. It is difficult for the shogunate, which only controls a quarter of the country's territory, to withstand the other three-quarters of the joint siege.

Therefore, in order to protect his erotic face and shock the ambitions of the princes everywhere, despite being defeated in the first battle, the shogunate could only bite the bullet and continue the war.

To this end, the mobilization and recruitment of the 150,000 central and western vassal coalition forces are still in full swing. Mitsui Ginji was forced to bring the remaining 7,000 new shogunate troops and a group of more reliable samurai warriors to the front-line base camp to urge all armies to attack as soon as possible. As for the destroyed shogunate navy, it is expected that the main force of the Far East Fleet led by Admiral Perry to take over.

But in this way, the shogunate would not have much reliable force left in Edo Castle. If the vassal states in the northeastern region send troops to rebel, and the ronin and frustrated flagpole in the Edo region respond again, the shogunate center is even at risk of falling quickly.

So, in such a situation of two-sided dilemma, Feili's giant bear army came into their sight.

I have basically agreed with the shogunate people during the two days you were commanding the typhoon fight at sea.”

With a smug smile on his face, Ms. Zena showed her negotiation results to Feiri, "The Shogunate New Army has all left Edo Castle. Your giant bear army can borrow their barracks to rest and allow 5,000 people to enter the 14,000 barracks. I believe it will be very spacious. Your Xiangrui was arranged to be at the military camp next to the Shogunate New Army camp, which is deep and vast. And anyway, the Shogunate has no more than a warship, and the trestle buoys and the like are also demolished. In the camp of the Shogunate New Army, there are still about 5,000 stones of brown rice, two thousand pieces of cotton cloth and dozens of stones of coarse salt left, and they are all given to you. Today, what needs to be discussed with the other side is actually the only question of the number of commissions and how to put them. What do you think of the previous conditions?"

It seems pretty good, at least after taking it back, you shouldn't be spit by the people below."

Feili lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said cautiously, then, what do we need to do?"

"Tsk! Don't you, a guy, say a few compliments, make people happy? Alas, it's getting more and more unlovable that I haven't seen Xiao Feili for more than a year!"

Zena seemed a little unhappy when she didn't hear the expected praise, but she still pouted her lips to pay attention to all the matter. "There is nothing special. Basically, it's enough to practice a few times outside the outskirts of Edo Castle, hold several military exercises, and show off her power to the surrounding princes. You don't need to interfere in the city defense and urban security. There is no need for you to attack the Choshu family, so it's better not to expect a high reward. "Of course, if you really want to fight someone, the wages will definitely be calculated."

How to say this situation? It feels like a homeowner borrowed a guard dog to scare thieves before going out for a long trip. Feili shrugged her shoulders and nodded, expressing pleasure in accepting such a relaxed task.

In fact, since there is basically no need to fight, he is already very satisfied as long as there is a place for camping and accommodation and a harbor to get off cobalt and stop boats.

As for the commission, Feili didn't care much. Even if he really wanted to do a job, it didn't matter if he was just paying the rent. Anyway, in order to maintain the basic combat effectiveness of the army, all basic training and exercises are also necessary.

"By the way. Who is my negotiating target this time?"

Seeing that he was about to arrive at his destination, he suddenly thought of this question that was accidentally missed, "Dear Ms. Zena, you haven't seem to have introduced me to the following, "What kind of person is Shangjin, Nei Bili?"

"Oh, is that true? That's my omission."

Ms. Zena shrugged her shoulders without much care. Her name is Mitsui Ryuhime, the only daughter of Mitsui Ginji, the shogunate Shin-ku. According to the meaning of this name in the local language, we all like to call her "Princess Dragon," she is definitely a first-class oriental beauty in appearance. As for her personality, it is almost the same as her nickname."

"Well, it's a dragon princess"

After Yi Yi's introduction, Feili nodded in a daze.

However, after only a few minutes, he personally experienced the profound meaning of this nickname.
