Dominate the Country

[Alas, this title really doesn't match today's day (⊙﹏⊙)b]

"Stand at attention, at ease. Look to the right... stand up!"

On March 12, at the Lushan Boy Scout Camp by Zhaoping Lake, 957 freshly-made "chickens" lined up to wait. In front of them, Chen Ming, wearing a new military uniform, was riding a horse and walking slowly in front of them accompanied by the chief instructor of the Boy Scout Camp.

957!

For the current number of Fu Han Army, less than a thousand chicks are not a big number, but what is valuable is that they are all absolute die-hards and supporters of Fu Han Army. Before being "taken in" by Fu Han Army, they lived a life of hunger and cold, and were often oppressed and raped. Since being taken in by Fu Han Army, they have been well fed and well clothed. Not to mention the skills and knowledge they can learn, just based on this point, they are the most loyal guards of Fu Han Army!

Nine hundred and fifty-seven people, that is, nine hundred and fifty-seven seeds. When they enter the army, the number of soldiers driven and influenced by each person is far greater than the number itself.

With the expansion of the military recruitment boom that began in the autumn and winter of last year, batches of new recruits came out of the Fu Han Army's recruit camp, and the lack of troops when the main forces were established was almost completely filled. In this way, the Fu Han Army's navy and army now have three naval fleets plus corresponding naval land warfare battalions, eight coastal defense battalions from Wusongkou to Guangdong, seven field divisions, two central garrison divisions and two imperial brigades, one cavalry brigade, and up to six independent artillery regiments. In addition, there are more than 100,000 local garrison troops in Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, which are being taken.

The total strength of the army has unknowingly moved towards 300,000 people!

Therefore, the 957 child soldiers cannot be taken seriously only in terms of quantity, but from the perspective of actual benefits, their entry into the army will definitely allow Chen Han to further enhance his control over the army.

Among the more than 900 people at present, 40 have been selected to enter the military academy to continue their studies and further education. The rest will be scattered in various organizations of the entire army.

It is March now. Chen Ming will certainly not immediately launch an attack on the north. Chen Han is now like a python that has swallowed a buffalo, and his stomach is about to explode. He must "digest" and "calm down". If possible, he will not make any major moves in the north this year. With the new recruits coming out of the recruit camp, Chen Ming will expand the fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions and the two central garrison divisions by one brigade each. Let them be on par with the teaching division and the 123rd division in terms of force organization.

Then vigorously train the marines and form pure mountain infantry.

From the sea, keep harassing the northern coastal line, pay attention to the war situation in Korea, and the war in the southwest. As well as shipbuilding that can start in the second half of the year, and after accepting the French sailing ships, continue to expand the seeds of Western-style sailing ship sailors.

Finally, the steam engine and a series of modern industrial machinery were introduced from Europe, both for civilian and military use, and the Chinese in Southeast Asia were contacted.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, the Chinese still had a strong foundation in Borneo at that time.

Chen Han has developed to the current level in just a few years, especially last year when he took over several provinces in the south, which can be called "swallowing". They are not rabbits born in 1949, with a shallow foundation. It is not wise to rush to the north without digesting it well.

"The first place in the Spring and Autumn Boy Camp in the 144th year of Chongzhen, Xinmao, Liu Chengshan!"

"The second place in the Spring and Autumn Boy Camp in the 144th year of Chongzhen, Xinmao, ..."

The top ten students who came out of the Boy Camp this season were personally awarded military ranks by Chen Ming and awarded the Golden Eagle Medal.

Six of the ten most outstanding students in the Spring and Autumn Boy Camp will continue their studies at the Military Academy, while the rest hope to join the army one day earlier.

Chen Ming's face was filled with a sunny smile. After entering March, his smile never disappeared. Because after Li Xiaomei became pregnant, Liu Wanyun also became pregnant as expected. In addition to this prince's concubine, Yao, a woman who was not favored in the backyard on weekdays, Chen Ming only entered her room once during the New Year, and she also became pregnant. Chen Ming was really happy.

Previously, they were like iron trees, not blooming and bearing fruit. Now it's really a good time. From the beginning of the first month to now, three women in the backyard have become pregnant.

In the afternoon, Chen Ming took people to see the boy soldiers who were still living, studying and training in the camp.

As the highest-level camp of the Fu Han Army Boy Camp System, there are only three age groups in Lushan Camp: fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. The latter are like the previous 957 people, that is, when they are close to sixteen years old, they rush to Lushan from boy camps in various places.

Now that these people have left, the entire camp is mostly empty. On the parade ground, when Chen Ming led his men, they met a 14 or 15-year-old boy in a neat military uniform, who confidently led the way and shouted: "Drive out the Tartars, restore China!" This was the slogan.

The group of child soldiers below, not knowing whether it was always like this or whether they saw Chen Ming and his men standing by, had red faces and blue veins in their necks, and shouted in unison: "Drive out the Tartars, restore China." The hot voice seemed to contain magic, as if an invisible big hand tightly grasped the hearts of the group.

"Wash away the Hu dust, and restore the mountains and rivers!"

"Wash away the Hu dust, and restore the mountains and rivers!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

Then there is the loud and clear military song: "..., holding a steel sword with ninety-nine swords, I will stop after killing all the men. I am a man of dignity, how can I be a horse and a cow for the Tartars..."

These child soldiers have been instilled with this concept since they were young. When they grow up to 16 years old, these people will naturally become the most reliable direct descendants of the Fuhan Army. They are a weakened version of the Whampoa Military Academy.

"Who gives us food to eat?"

"Fuhan Army!"

"Who gives us clothes and clothes?"

"Fuhan Army!"

"Who saved our lives?"

"Fuhan Army!"

"Who taught us how to read and write?"

"Fuhan Army, Fuhan Army, Fuhan Army!"

"Who is the best in the world?"

"Fuhan Army!"

"Where is the best place in the world?"

"Fuhan Army!"

…

Just like what Yuan Datou did when he was training troops in the original time and space, the concepts were instilled and kept instilled. The final fruit is naturally the ‘loyalty’ you want.

These young men, who were only fourteen or fifteen years old, stood upright and straight in a military posture. Years of indoctrination, as well as the practical improvement of their own living conditions, have made their loyalty to the Fuhan Army and their love for the Fuhan Army completely seep into their own bones.

When these children grow up next year, Chen Ming will take them to death, fearing that no one will complain.

Of course, these boy soldiers themselves are also new talents that Chen Han urgently needs. They have strong bodies, strong personalities, can read, and can do some basic arithmetic. Even if they are placed at the grassroots level of the government, they will be very beneficial.

Moreover, the boy soldiers who came out of the boy camp, as Chen Han's most direct force, also had a lot of capital when he was promoted. When these people move from soldiers to squad platoon leaders, from squad platoon leaders to team officers, and from low-level officers to mid-level officers, they themselves will be like an endless net, covering the entire army.

Walking out of the children's camp, there is endless wilderness outside. The edge of Zhaoping Lake is the best field in Lushan, and the horses snort from time to time.

The earth rejuvenates and everything revives. In the north in March, we bid farewell to the harsh spring chill, and the warm sunshine shone on Chen Ming.

…

North Korea, Li Min is dead.

This powerful 'King Yeongjo' could have lived for another five years. When he saw that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's 'disposal plan' for North Korea was not just 'punishment', but wanted to completely annex North Korea, Li Bang committed suicide.

Before that, the Qing army, which had captured Namhansanseong Fortress, captured Ganghwa Island, and captured alive Li Ming and a large number of Korean princes, nobles and their families, did not stop there, but continued to advance towards South Korea. .

Gwangju, Daejeon..., Li Zu fled all the way to Busan.

When the news of Li Bin's death came out in March, the whole of North Korea exploded. Rebel armies emerged in Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province in the north, and in Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province in the south. You don't care how strong their combat effectiveness is, anyway, their existence caused a lot of trouble to the Qing army entering the dynasty.

Especially after the arrival of spring, a piece of news that could only stay on Ping'an Road due to the climate spread like the wind throughout the entire north and south of Korea - the Qing army robbed more than 100,000 people from Ping'an Road and moved to the northeast.

Two big bombs, one plus one is far more powerful than two. The Qing army was not afraid of looting materials, and Jianyin was not afraid of killings. But when they not only robbed things, but also robbed people, the memories that had been buried deep in the sediment more than a hundred years ago resurfaced in their hearts. That familiar scene evoked the recognition in the memories of countless Korean scholars and nobles.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty arose, didn't they invade the Han region one after another and plunder goods and a large number of people?

The Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on this move, which gradually consumed the last vitality of the already weak Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of people were taken captive to the northeast and used as cattle and horses. And will that scene that happened more than a hundred years ago now happen to the Koreans?

A large number of Koreans opened up wasteland and farmed in the Northeast. Under the supervision and ravage of the bannermen, they worked hard like unconscious machines. This news was not delivered to Chen Ming until close to March. By the time Chen Ming gave the order to Jeju Island, it was already mid-March, and it was not known whether Chen Dai and the others had already passed the news to the North Koreans.

A village under the rule of Seongcheon Prefecture, Anping Right Road, North Korea. At noon, curls of white smoke are rising from the kitchen roofs of every household, swaying gently like a girl's dance in the spring breeze. In the bright spring light, the village is quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and women's shouts. The rice fields outside the village are green and have the most ordinary smell of fireworks in the world. It is simple, warm and fragrant and intoxicating.

Although the Qing Dynasty invaders came, the people in the village were not worried. Chengchuan Mansion was surrounded by mountains, and they had never heard of an attack anywhere.

At the entrance of the village, several children were chasing and playing around a big tree. They couldn't remember to go home while they were playing.

A young woman stood at the entrance of the village calling her children to eat. But children are fun, and a group of people were making a lot of noise, turning a deaf ear to the mother's call. Until the woman was extremely angry, her eyes widened, and she stepped forward and grabbed the ear of a five or six-year-old child with an angry look. She raised her hand and raised her hand towards her son. The child was slapped twice on the buttocks. The child remained silent and his mother twisted his ears and dragged him home with his head turned sideways.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves from behind. The mother and son looked back and saw a group of cavalrymen in blue armor galloping over. The long lightning rod looked like a big broom from a distance. There seemed to be not many people, only a few dozen, but they were very imposing. Moreover, such cavalrymen were rarely seen in Chengchuan Prefecture in the interior of Korea.

Besides, they were dressed like the Korean army.

The woman's mind went blank, and she couldn't remember that they were the "Qing Lu" they had cursed in the past. But she was very scared, so she hurriedly hugged her son and went to the village. After running a few steps, she heard the child's shrill screams from behind. Looking back, the woman was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground like a fool!

It turned out that the children who were still playing under the big trees were nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows shot out. The blood had dyed the ground under them red. The gray short clothes were also dyed purple by the blood.

"Wow..." The child in the woman's arms burst into tears. The companion who was alive just now has become like this in a blink of an eye. There are still two children who are not dead yet. They all raised their heads and stretched out their hands to the mother and son, begging. The blood at the corners of their mouths could not stop spitting out...

The children were scared.

"Run, don't cry, run! Run!" The woman's underwear was wet, but she didn't care about shame and shouted at her son anxiously! Suddenly, a scream came from the back, and the woman hurriedly covered the child's eyes and ears!

Damn it! The cavalry actually shot a second arrow, nailing the remaining two children to the ground.

The woman didn't know where she got the strength and courage from, she stood up suddenly, holding the children and rushed to the village.

A long arrow pierced her vest from behind, and the woman's strength disappeared instantly. She fell to the ground, but her hands were still pushing her son to continue running forward. But the blue cavalry had already arrived, and the horse's speed did not slow down at all, directly knocking the woman's five or six-year-old son away. The dying woman was greatly stimulated, and her body on the ground stood up again. But a horse hoof stepped heavily on her back. The crisp sound of bone breaking was clearly transmitted to the ears of the horsemen, and the woman seemed to hear a perverted laugh before she died!

Horse hooves stepped on the child and the woman's body. Bones broke, blood splashed, and the flesh and blood turned into meat paste. It was like a body falling from a building dozens of stories high, shattered and rotten like mud.

An old Korean man who heard the screams and came out to see was knocked away by the horse's head, and he didn't even scream! A middle-aged woman who followed behind was so scared that her legs were weak, and she squatted on the ground, unable to even cry. A long arrow shot out and pierced the woman's neck directly. The woman was still breathing, her big eyes staring at the door, the people inside must not come out again...

"The thieves are coming! The thieves are coming! Run away!"

The shouts in the village were everywhere, and soon the "thieves" became "Qing captives". Those pigtail braids were the best identification mark of the Qing soldiers.

The peaceful village became noisy. The doors of every household were wide open, and panicked men, women, old and young rushed out in a hurry. But what awaited them was not a fatal blow of swords and guns, but a whistling arrow.

The team of soldiers and horses completely occupied the road in the village. One of them stopped his warhorse and shouted loudly. Unexpectedly, he did not speak Chinese or Manchu, but authentic Korean.

At the same time, an officer with an obviously good status shouted a few times, and dozens of cavalrymen turned over and dismounted. A dozen archers with bows and arrows were left, and the remaining two or three people in a group broke into the farmer's house with waist knives.

Soon, batches of Korean men, women, and children with terrified faces were driven to the big tree at the entrance of the village. There were several children's bodies and the mother and son's bodies that looked like meat paste. There were still cries of fear among the crowd.

Cows and donkeys were harnessed to carts, which were full of food and well-packed packages. Chickens and ducks with broken necks were strung with ropes and hung on the carts, and there were pigs and sheep that were driven out. Of course, there were still screams in the village, and there were many. There were sixty or seventy households in this village, with a population of three or four hundred. Only more than a hundred people appeared here. Except for those who were killed by the Qing soldiers in the process, the remaining villagers certainly could not hide. Now, once these people were discovered, the Qing soldiers would not say a word and would directly kill them.

For more than half an hour, there was no other sound in the village except the Chinese language that the Korean civilians could not hear.

Soon, the fragrant smell of meat floated at the entrance of the village. Several young women were pulled out of the crowd by the Qing army to cook for them.

Dozens of Qing soldiers ate whole chickens and ducks with their mouths full of oil. The leading officer drank the rice wine he had copied from the village head, and looked at his harvest with satisfaction. Very good, a village like this had three cows, five donkeys and mules, so much food, and more than a dozen fat pigs and a similar number of goats.

"Let each of these Koreans carry food, separate men and women, children under three feet can follow the women, and those over three feet can follow the men."

"Sir, what about the elderly..."

The officer also looked at the old men and women in the crowd with the same eyes as slaughtering pigs and sheep, "Don't care now. It's not too late to kill them when they can't walk on the road." Then he could remind these Koreans.

Just then, a shrill woman's scream reached the officer's ears. The officer and his assistant turned their heads to see that two Qing soldiers had pressed a Korean woman who cooked for them to the ground.

Hearing the Korean woman's terrified scream, the officer laughed. "These bastards. Are you full and satisfied?"

"Boss. Why don't you come and have some fun? This woman's ass is really big..."

When a beast is violent, the more the prey struggles and begs, the more it can stimulate his beastly nature.

The leader shook his hand. What beautiful women are there in the village? The Qing army broke through Seoul and Ganghwa Island. I don't know how many Korean noble ladies were sent to Pyongyang one after another. He didn't have many cavalrymen, but as a third-rank lieutenant, he didn't need to relieve his anger with the stupid village woman in front of him.

The Qing soldier laughed, threw his waist knife to his companion, picked up the woman and threw her face to the ground. Seeing that she was still desperately crawling forward, he laughed loudly, spread his legs, and used his knees to push against her from behind, and used his hands to tear the other's skirt randomly.

There were more than a dozen Qing soldiers with smiling faces surrounding her, and in the Korean crowd not far away, men and women lowered their heads in shame and humiliation...
