Lord of Ming Dynasty

The same is true on Shikoku Island, not even as good as Xinlu Mansion. In fact, Zhang Qiang wanted to maintain the power of the Han people like the Second Prince and the others. Unfortunately, the Second Prince did not want to fight against the Japanese, but to fight against the more powerful like his father. Japan surrendered, surrendered, or he still had a plan in his heart to use Japan to counter the Chinese army, but the intervention of the Qing Dynasty and the Dutch directly made them fight the Chinese army.

This is the sorrow of the weak, you have to listen, a Japan, the second prince may be able to resist, after all, there is a geographical advantage, but with the Dutch, they will not pay attention to that geographical advantage, their strength comes from the sea, With the land and water attacks of the Dutch and the Japanese, the second prince could only bow his head. With the overall arrangements and suggestions of the Qing Dynasty, the Han forces of the Four Kingdoms became the puppet forces of the enemy in the eyes of the Han people.

This time the Xinlu Mansion attacked Shikoku Island in a rage. This is really a very outrageous move. It can ruin all the achievements of the Xinlu Mansion in the past half a year. There are too many enemies, wait for the Japanese people here to be changed again, wait for the main ethnic groups in Xinlu Mansion to be divided into three classes.

The Han people are the first class, and the number must reach 40.00% before making a move. With the current structure of the Han people, it is very likely that one failure will cause turmoil and cause instability in this structure, because the Han people sell out the interests of the main ethnic group for their own interests. However, it emerges endlessly, that is to say, the power of traitors is always greater than the power of those people with backbone, who are willing to sacrifice in order to protect their own country and nation.

The current Han Chinese forces in the Xinlu Prefecture are mainly composed of three main components. The Japanese and Han people. The mixed-race Han people who have passed through the previous dynasties have stayed in Japan for several generations, but the Han people who have not mixed blood have already integrated into the Japanese nation. The pure northern Han people and a small number of southern Han people brought in are mainly officials, their families, and soldiers' families.

There are also some people who are Mongols and Han people under the banner of the Han army. The Han people who are deeply rooted in the Qing Dynasty, and the slaves of the Han people. This part of the people's thinking is not stable, and they may become the leading party or the part of the people who hope that the Han people's power will collapse.

These four parts of Han people account for about 17.00% of the population of Xinlu Prefecture. In addition, there are some Han people who are pure Han and mixed-race Han people among the indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia. % of the Han Chinese group.

Indigenous Southeast Asians accounted for 5.00% of the total population. This was the immigrants and captives who were successively deployed by the Chinese army.

Even if these people were put together under the pressure of the Huaxia Army and the suppression of the officials brought by the Xinlu Mansion, they still only accounted for a little over 20.00% of the total population, and the rest were mainly Japanese people.

A little turmoil in this power will cause great losses. Tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers in the attacking fleet are all Han Chinese. If these people sacrifice too much, the number of Han Chinese in Xinlu Mansion will be further reduced, which is not conducive to the rule. .

Zhang Qiang is a little annoyed, this person can’t be exterminated, right now the Huaxia Kingdom doesn’t have so many places that need manpower, many hard labor camps have been abolished, hundreds of hard laborers are either dead or turned into captives, go After working, the captives have turned into ordinary people. After all, many captives are actually strong men captured by the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. They are Han people. How could the Qing Dynasty have so many troops? It would not be long to sell them all. Millions of troops.

Therefore, after 20 years of continuous labor, those captives died in their twilight years, and those who should have survived did not have the ability to make trouble. They were turned into civilians and then thrown to Southeast Asia, those bitter cold areas in Yunnan and Guizhou to become civilians. The common people have died. After some ideological education and some kindness and power, they have changed from strong men to ordinary people. Now they want to survive in peace. How can they have the ability and will to rebel, so the number of captives is getting smaller and smaller. Now 90.00% of them are It was thrown to Baodao Prefecture and Qiongzhou Prefecture for labor reform.

Maybe they spent the rest of their lives in Qiongzhou Prefecture and Baodao Prefecture, where they became common people. Those newly captured Han Chinese are tolerant. As long as you change your mind, then you will become a militia and serve for two years. , perform well and turn to local people, or immigrate back to fill the lack of population in the core area.

Those who were not Han people were thrown into the mines as laborers. Now many people have changed their minds. For the sake of their children’s future, they also admit that they will become Han Chinese in the future. As a result, there are fewer captives in Southeast Asia. They were newly captured, and now the majority of captives have become Japanese. Zhang Qiang cannot convert so many Japanese population into Han Chinese, because the blood and genes of the Japanese are relatively strong. They are all dyed into Guangzhou Indians who are not black, white or gray, and gray or gray.

It is too difficult for tens of millions of Japanese population to transform into Han Chinese.

It can only be changed in a small amount. It is already very difficult to lose 30 Japanese in Sishan Prefecture. The failure of the Chinese nation, look at the Northeast of later generations, the treasure island of later generations, the Japanese turned the bloody men in the Northeast into a comedy life that can only play tricks, turned Baodao into their language family, and turned it into a place for them to attack the mainland Bridgehead position.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Keshuang, the son of Zheng Chenggong, is here. He wants to see His Majesty." The captain of the personal guard reported.

What kind of business is Zheng Keshuang, do you have friendship with him?

He has some friendship with his father Zheng Chenggong, that Japanese mixed-race man, but can this friendship make him a reason to see him?

Although I always take care of this Zheng Chenggong in some aspects, it is also necessary for him to take his people away from Huaxia and not to make trouble with himself. If it is a frontal battle, the Huaxia Army Navy may still crush him, but if it is a sea attack If you want to make troubles, then you are not as good as Zheng Chenggong. The sea is so big, even if you send all the Chinese navy sailors out, you can't say that Zheng Chenggong's troubles to the Huaxia Kingdom can't be contained.

Nowadays, the Huaxia Kingdom and the Taixi people are enemies. The commercial power of the Taixi people cannot reach the Huaxia Kingdom. They, as for some conscientious dogs, Zhang Qiang, a businessman from the Huaxia Kingdom who took advantage of the loopholes to smuggle at any time, didn't care about them.

So Zhang Qiang tried his best to provide Zheng Chenggong with benefits, and at the same time tricked him to go to Australia to open up territory. Anyway, it will be a vanguard site against China in later generations. It is too far away to be occupied by Han people, and it is impossible to become a white-eyed wolf like Singapore.

As for planning in the future and causing them some trouble, that will be a matter for the future. I am too busy now. The Four Mountains must be unified, Qiongzhou must be developed, Baodao State must continue to develop, and Southeast Asia must be assimilated. In order to speed up the pace of destroying the Qing Dynasty, the Huaxia Army is preparing to destroy the Qing Dynasty. In short, there is no time to play with the Zheng Chenggong forces in Australia who are thousands of miles away.

"Let him in, you guys get out." Zhang Qiang said to the guards.

Chapter 743 Tragic Shikoku Island Landing Battle

Just when Zhang Qiang was getting more and more Japanese and it was difficult to deal with it, the attack fleet led by Feng Quan and Zhao Hui had already started to land in a grand manner.

Since the pier was damaged, the fleet could only use small boats to transport soldiers bit by bit and start landing.

Tens of thousands of small boats were put down, and it took an hour for the first wave of 3000 Xinlu militiamen to reach the land. Once they landed, they encountered tenacious resistance.

Although the enemy bombarded the land with naval guns, many soldiers in the coastal fortifications were not killed, and many people were forced to stick to their positions. As soon as the 3000 troops landed, they were obstructed by many militiamen from the four swarms. These people are all wandering warriors, in order to be promoted to real family warriors, they can give their lives. Driven by the official family warriors, they rushed desperately to the scattered Xinlu soldiers who landed.

A group of fifteen militiamen carrying Jinkai 2 matchlock guns just stepped into the water when they got off the boat, and when they were more than 30 meters away from the shore, a group of four militiamen ran out of a sheltered bunker, waving He rushed over with a sword.

Fifteen puzzled soldiers hurriedly opened fire from the boat, and immediately seven or eight warriors fell to the ground in one round of shooting, their bodies falling to the knee-deep seawater bleeding.

Fifteen soldiers were still standing in waist-deep sea water. They were transported by a 30-ton transportation ship with a sharp bottom and a draft of more than two meters. At a distance of [-] meters, the bottom of the boat scraped the beach on the seabed.

The fifteen soldiers on board were also staring nervously at the beach. When they saw the enemy rushing over, they immediately raised their Jin Kai 1 matchlock guns. Before they could fire, the militiamen with Jin Kai 2 matchlock guns had already started After firing a round of volley, they had already waded to the waist-deep sea water with their guns in hand. The sea water had already exposed their waists. After one round of shooting, there were many enemies. With so many enemies, they had no time to reload and shoot the second round. While in a hurry, the Tiaobang soldiers on the boat had already opened fire, and another seven or eight people fell into the sea.

The militiamen who put down the boats in other places were far away from the bunker, so no one stopped them.

At this time, they had already set foot on the beach, and flames erupted from the bunker far away. It was the firepower of the four militiamen to stop them, and there were also a lot of four militiamen who ran out of some places.

Here, after two volleys, it was obvious that the four militiamen of five or sixty people could not be killed and retreated. Many people began to rush forward, so hand-to-hand combat began in the sea.

Soon, most of the fifteen militiamen with guns were killed. There were too many enemies and they were too brutal. The militiamen couldn't fight the enemy with guns in their hands, and cold weapons were still dominant in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, the soldiers on the ship that loaded the bomb for the second time opened fire, and the enemy fell four or five people, and all fifteen soldiers on this side were killed. The remaining ten or so people had no way to find out the bad luck of the traffic boat, because the traffic boat had drifted away and the sea was getting deeper and deeper.

But the soldiers who landed in other places saw such a disastrous defeat here, and immediately someone ran over and shot at the remaining dozen or so four militiamen. After a round of shooting, these four militiamen all lay down on the beach.

There are many cases like this, and even in some places, the soldiers and horses transported by small boats were killed by the enemy in such a brutal way, and some people even took the boat and were killed by soldiers on other small boats behind.

After repeated impacts and repeated seesaws, [-] soldiers were finally sent to the beach. They rushed to the enemy's bunkers and firepower points in a neat line, and wiped out the four militiamen with three-pound cannons.

Two hours later, the second wave of Southeast Asian aborigines was sent ashore, and the militiamen who escorted them drove the Southeast Asian aborigines to charge the four militiamen in hand-to-hand combat.

Three hours later, a regiment of the third wave of the Xinlu Mansion regular army came ashore, brought artillery, singled out a flintlock gun, and under the command of a general, the team began to attack the pier along the beach, and captured the pier four hours later, Southeast Asia Aboriginal and former militiamen began clearing the docks and repairing the trestle.

Five hours later, the trestle was repaired, a trestle capable of docking a 180-ton traffic ship was cleared out, and a steady stream of militiamen and small artillery were sent to the shore. Six hours later, a larger trestle was repaired, and the [-]-ton The ships docked and sent more militiamen and regular troops, as well as more civilians, supplies, and twelve-pound cannons.

Seven hours later, after repeated see-sawing and fierce fighting, the Xinlu Mansion soldiers occupied ten miles of the beach and five miles of the wharf, taking control of the wharf and the beach, with a force of 1 troops.

At the beginning, I tried to advance to the beaches on both sides. On one side, the team reached 5000 people, of which 2000 were cannon fodder, Southeast Asian native cannon fodder, Japanese samurai cannon fodder, [-] militiamen, and [-] people from a regular army regiment guarded the pier.

At nightfall, the enemy began to counterattack frantically. Nearly [-] militiamen rushed towards the pier frantically. At this time, [-] militiamen had already landed. They became the backbone of resisting the enemy. The firepower was inferior, and the four militiamen died with [-] troops to compress the Xinlu Mansion militiamen and cannon fodder back within three miles of the pier, and then they were suppressed by the [-]-pounder artillery of the [-]-ton warship docked near the pier.

In the second half of the night, the enemy became more ferocious, 7 people stormed the pier, and a field brigade of the Xinlu Mansion who had already landed on the pier crazily output artillery fire and bullets.

In the end, they even drove the captured Japanese on the pier to fight with cannon fodder. Within fifteen miles near the pier, nearly 5 people died in one night.

Among them, [-] were cannon fodder from Xinlu Mansion, Japanese on the pier, and Southeast Asian aborigines, as well as militiamen. There were not many casualties in the field brigade soldiers, and there were about a thousand people, which also showed that these soldiers were indeed elites in all battles.

At dawn, the sea surface was cleared, and the [-]-ton warship approached and supported the beach with more violent salvo firepower, suppressing the enemy to a small town seven miles away. Without the help of night, the militiamen on Shikoku Island wanted to It is a dream to be close to the pier. You have to pay several times the price to get close to the pier. When you get close to the pier, you have to face the cannon fodder of the people driven by the enemy and the natives of Southeast Asia, as well as the cannon fodder of the Japanese people and warriors in Xinlu Prefecture. Feng Quan also has Japanese people, in order to consume these Japanese, he did not hesitate to use these cannon fodder.

Of course, we must give them a little sweetness. If someone is killed in battle, these Japanese family members will immediately become Han people after returning.

Just like the Chinese in the 80s and [-]s who wanted an urban hukou, they racked their brains and were willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

If they can do meritorious service, they will immediately become a militiaman. The status of a militiaman in Xinlu Mansion is comparable to that of a ninth-rank official in Ming Dynasty. Once you become an official, smoke will rise from your ancestral grave. What an honor it is! , The Japanese people worked hard for this.

There was no need to be so tragic and desperate, but although the soldiers and weapons of the Xinlu Mansion have been strengthened by the Huaxia Army, they are still not very powerful. The flintlock is only a thing of the regular army. Among the militia, Feng Quan served as According to the rules of the Huaxia Army, civil servants are not in charge of soldiers. Xinlu Mansion has a special status, and Feng Quan can fight again, so he controls the militia. The militia is the local security force of Xinlu Mansion, and it is also in Feng Quan's hands. gun.

Kong Youxing had to face the oppression of the entire Japanese. The regular army was in his hands and could be defeated and mobilized at any time. It could not be divided into two parts. This time only [-] regular troops were sent to Feng Quan, and Feng Quan sent the other [-] troops. This is the largest force that Feng Quan can mobilize.

With the strength of the militia, it is difficult to fight a war of annihilation against the forces of the second prince of Shikoku Island with a force of 50. No matter how strong the militia is, it is no match for the regular army. The surrounding shoals and hidden reefs do not allow large-scale fleets to approach, otherwise how could the enemy approach the pier so quickly with the fleet's firepower.

The suppression firepower of the fleet is only about five miles from the shore, and no more can reach it. Even if the 24-pound gun can hit ten miles away, it is still a drop in the bucket. Facing the front of the battlefield more than ten miles wide, it cannot be suppressed without explosive shells. For the enemy, the Huaxia Army has limited supply of explosive bullets, so they can only attack with solid bullets.

At dawn the next day, all [-] troops landed. Feng Quan left Zhao Hui to command the fleet, and he went ashore with the guards. A [-]-ton warship docked, but a [-]-ton warship could not dock, and could only stand by in the deep water three miles near the pier. All the [-]-ton Fuchuan and [-]-ton warships docked.

As soon as he landed, Feng Quan felt a headache. In one night, 10 militiamen and cannon fodder troops were killed in the landing battle. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, it is estimated that 10 people lost their combat effectiveness, but the enemy still had [-] people. There are [-] regular troops and [-] militiamen. These militiamen have to shrink their defenses. Even the [-]-mile-wide coastal fortifications on both sides have to be abandoned, and they have to shrink to the coastline of [-] miles with the wharf as the main area. The depth of the defense has reached seven miles, and outside the seven miles is the enemy's [-] troops waiting in full battle.
