Lord of Ming Dynasty

The official lighting system is implemented on the warship, and only the air-dead wind lanterns are hung on the bow and stern of the ship. Although there is a sound of falling into the water or falling from time to time in the dark, the Ryukyu Army still boarded the ship in an orderly manner, and then the ship sent the soldiers ashore Every time [-] soldiers and horses were assembled, they were immediately dispatched to a mission, and every time ten ships were empty, they would return and send ten warships to escort them back to meet the follow-up troops.

In the dark night, even the Huaxia navy who came out to patrol did not see them. Until dawn, the last two thousand soldiers and generals landed on land, and then the entire navy fleet returned. At this point, the returning fleet was At dawn, they encountered the patrol fleet of the Huaxia Navy, but the number of ships has not aroused the suspicion of the Huaxia Navy. Anyway, they are allies. They know what they are doing and they will not tell them. Anyway, there is no threat.

When the second army arrived, when 3 soldiers, cannons, mules, and supplies filled the beaches of Nemuro, the Japanese discovered that at this time, [-] troops of the Ryukyu Kingdom had landed, and countless supplies had landed , The Ryukyu Army has controlled the frontal landing field ten miles long and ten miles wide.

By the time the Japanese hurriedly mobilized their troops to fight, it was already midnight, and all [-] soldiers and horses had landed.

And they have already started to advance to the prefectural city of Hokkaido. They will have 55 soldiers and horses landing one after another. At this time, the Huaxia Navy knew that they had landed in Hokkaido, but they could not stop them. They could only report to Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui received The report was already the morning of the third day, and when he sent a ship to verify, the Ryukyu Army had already landed [-] soldiers and horses, countless supplies and artillery, and the fleet of [-] warships and warships had already started shelling Sapporo Port.

Zhao Hui quickly sent cavalry to report to Brother Zhu, and at the same time sent cavalry to report to Xue Hong and the others. By the time Xue Hong arrived, it was already the fifth morning. It was already the evening of the fifth day when Brother Zhu found out.

At this time, the Ryukyu Army had already landed [-] soldiers and horses, and fought with the Japanese army for two consecutive days.

It has been ten days since the news reached Jinling Mansion, and the 30 Ryukyu Army has already fought against the [-] Japanese Army.

"Damn Xipi, you actually went to war without declaring war and fighting Hokkaido without notifying us. This Hong Tianpao is getting more and more bastard." Zhang Qiang patted the table, furious, and he felt that Hong Tianpao had reached the edge of losing control.

And what makes him feel desperate is the modern communication. It has been the tenth day. After calculation, I am afraid that the situation in Hokkaido is irreversible. Maybe the Ryukyu Army has basically established the situation. The genocide of the Japanese, their strong [-] elites, didn't they beat the Japanese out of their minds?

Sitting beside him to discuss matters were Minister of National Defense Feng Quan, Interim Secretary of the Ministry of National Defense, Deputy Prime Minister Li Dingguo, Chief of General Staff Xiao Fei, Deputy Chief of Staff Feng Wuyu, Prime Minister Zhou Porridge, Prefect of Jinling Prefecture, Deputy Prime Minister Mi Chun, Xuanyuan Longfei, the director of the garrison command, Bagyalu, the commander of the Bagyalu regiment who had nothing to report, Li Guangxiong, the Minister of Rites, and Liu Liangzuo, the newly appointed director of the punishment battalion.

Zhou Porridge pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Should we lower our aid to them? Hit this Hong Tian Pao?"

"It's time to hit it, but not now. Since he wants Hokkaido, then give it to him. With so many Japanese people, his burden will become heavier and heavier. So many Japanese people and prisoners will overwhelm his Ryukyu Kingdom. It’s not that there are no capable people among the Japanese. Let me take Honshu Island completely, and then we will hold steady. Let’s continue. From now on, we have become enemies to the Ryukyu Kingdom, which means that they are no longer our allies. For the time being, we can Don’t fight, but be wary of them landing on the Honshu Island we occupy, as well as the Shikoku Prefecture, Xinlu Prefecture, and the Ryukyu Kingdom are troops that are very good at landing operations.”

Feng Quan lowered his head and thought: "It's not a solution to be blindly prepared. Why don't you go as an official and encourage them to land in the north of Silla, so that their soldiers and horses will be scattered everywhere. The Qing army is not incapable, and Goguryeo is not. Without a source of soldiers, the larger the territory they occupy, the more places they need to guard against. Besides, there are more and more Japanese in their kingdom. I think it will not be long before the Japanese soldiers will mutiny. At that time, he will stop the leakage everywhere, and he will definitely be in a state of distress. of."

"Well, that's a good idea," Zhang Qiang rubbed his chin. He had already thought of a way to ask the Military Intelligence Department to send manpower into the Japanese soldiers in the Kingdom of Ryukyu to cause some trouble and instigate them to resist. Then the Ryukyu Kingdom will disintegrate in an instant, and then I have another excuse to intervene in the Ryukyu Kingdom. Well, where should I provoke first?

Jeju Island, Hokkaido Island should also provoke.

Li Dingguo said: "Your Majesty, we can ignore this, but I suggest that some Japanese immigrants from Sishan Prefecture be selected to go to the Indonesian archipelago. Where our navy and marine corps are not strong enough, we can deploy [-] Japanese servants to help sweep them up. Wherever they allow their families to immigrate, there are desolate islands and continental jungles where the heat is unbearable, and a large number of people will die in a short time."

Zhang Qiang turned his head and asked Mi Chun, "How many Japanese immigrants are there in Sishan Prefecture?"

Mi Chun thought for a while, "About 200 million. Now that the four mountain states are basically set, the second and fourth divisions can easily guard where they are. The follow-up garrison brigades, mainly the garrison brigades in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have already transferred five brigades. , can help them guard where, and can withdraw most of the soldiers and civilians from the Japanese militia and self-defense forces there."

"Okay, first transfer 100 militia and self-defense troops to the Anhui State Garrison Brigade, and let them take the 100 servants to replace the Marine Corps to guard the Indonesian islands. In the future, a garrison brigade will be transferred from Suzhou and Hangzhou to assist in the defense. Our people We also need to immigrate as soon as possible, replace the [-] million Japanese immigrants with [-] million native immigrants there, we will gradually reduce the Japanese immigrants in the country, and purify our ethnic composition.”

Liu Liangzuo of the punishment battalion said: "Your Majesty, there are so many prisoners in Shaanxi Prefecture, what should we do? Now that Honshu Island has been captured, there are nearly 500 million Japanese civilians, 90 million Japanese soldiers prisoners, and nearly 30 of ours. Servant army, how to deal with this?"

Chapter 879 Continue to Use Cannon Fodder Soldiers

"Send 30 Japanese captured soldiers to Shanxi Prefecture to Tianying and Wan Douni. Their Eighth Division and Tenth Division need manpower, so let them attack Bingzhou Prefecture. Now they have captured Xinzhou Prefecture, but the Qing Dynasty resisted fiercely. The trenches made them suffer a lot. They have finished fighting two garrison brigades and one field brigade. Now it seems that they have to let the Japanese prisoners go, and transfer 30 Southeast Asian servants to them as supervisors, and let the Southeast Asian servants Soldiers to drive out [-] Japanese captives, those who fight well will be reorganized into servant soldiers, and those who can't fight will be killed."

Zhang Qiang was also troubled in order to deal with so many foreign people and captive soldiers who had been spared due to the war.

Now I have to be cold-blooded.

Feng Quan said: "We will supplement the original soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom to Honshu Island, Japan, and let them take their families to settle there. Those who are disabled or not suitable for combat will be made civilians, and the old and weak will also become civilians. The general ones became militias, and the others were reorganized into garrison brigades, and let them wipe out those Japanese soldiers and civilians who dared to resist."

"Okay, one million people and captive soldiers are sent every month. Although they are from the Dajin Kingdom, they used to be Han. Servants, or Southeast Asian servants, they are always closer to us than the Japanese." Mi Chun also said.

But it is said that Wan Dou Ni fought fiercely on the front line of Shanxi Prefecture. The brigades of the Tenth Field Division led by him suffered heavy losses and captured Linfen Mansion. Mansion, until a brigade from the [-]th Field Division came to defend him, the slaves retreated and spent a month in Hejin Mansion, adding a garrison brigade from the back to fill his field brigade. Tianying was about to make persistent efforts. After the order was transferred to let him take over the Eighth Field Division, Wang Yuqun had completely let go of the Eighth Field Division and was transferred to Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture as the commander-in-chief of the garrison.

He hastily left the field brigade and went to the 101th Field Division to take over the field division, and the newcomer Yapeng took over his [-]st Field Brigade.

Yapeng led the 101st field brigade to the front line. The other two field brigades and two garrison brigades had fought against the Qing army in Bingzhou capital and turned into remnants. The towns around Bingzhou capital were captured, and the enemy retreated to Bingzhou capital. But it also controls the two nearest counties to Fucheng, as well as more than a dozen towns and more than [-] villages.

When the Eighth Field Division moved to Datong Prefecture, they were ordered to attack a county with more than 6000 brigades.

Yes, the establishment of field divisions is no longer what it used to be, and neither is the field brigade. The field brigade has a total strength of more than 6000 and hundreds of people, each regiment has more than 800 people, and there are more than 1000 troops directly under the brigade headquarters. people.

The siege of the county town has been fought for a whole week without being defeated. Yapeng jumped in a hurry. There was nothing he could do. Although the weapons were advanced, they were not the kind that could crush them. Facing the trenches, they had to face the enemy's firepower and charge. The enemy on the opposite side is not the Japanese with outdated guns, Goguryeo soldiers, but the veterans of the Dajin Kingdom who have fought for many years after being incorporated and adapted. They have the old cannons of the Qing army, as well as imitated new cannons Matchlock gun Jinkai 2 matchlock guns, elite troops still single-handedly have a front-loading flintlock gun, and some are still the kind of flintlock gun that can hold three bullets.

Moreover, even if all these people died, the Qing army would not regret it. These were originally collected by captives, and the commanders were Han generals. The Manchus all shrank into the county town. Although the rate of fire and power of a bullet is not as good as that of the Huaxia Army, the difference is not too big.

They also have the advantage of defensive operations. As long as the food is constant, they don’t need to worry. According to intelligence, there are more than 1 soldiers and horses in the city, and more than 6000 are horse bandits recruited by the Dajin Kingdom. The cavalry, and two thousand Han army flag troops.

Faced with such a force, Yapeng also thought about it but failed to think of a way to break through the enemy's defense.

During the one-week siege, more than 1000 people were killed and injured on their side, and almost one regiment was wiped out. The enemy killed and injured more than 2000 troops, but the enemy's troops were still larger than their own, and there was still a city wall for protection.

But today he received an order that about [-] troops will supplement them, of which [-] troops will be soldiers from the garrison brigade in the rear of their Han Chinese, and there will be about [-] veterans and [-] recruits. The ordinary brigade of the militia was reorganized, and there were [-] Southeast Asian native servants, [-] were captive soldiers captured by the Japanese side, and [-] of them were naturalized servants. The high-level military officers and supervisors are those Southeast Asian indigenous troops.

About [-] servants of this field division were sent up.

Yapeng was very happy. He knew that the Huaxia Army had a tradition of using cannon fodder soldiers. He didn't catch up with it before because he was at the bottom. The Great War is basically over for a while, and the guards are clearing out some enemy remnants. Facing the enemy remnants, he fought well, but the main job is to maintain local stability, eliminate enemy remnants, manage the militia troops there, stabilize the place, and guard Those Japanese immigrants, who are now running from the Japanese state, served as the commander of the field brigade.

It's time to really test your commanding ability.

Yapeng heard about how Brother Zhu used these Japanese servants on Honshu Island. The servants still have some humanity, they are naturalized people, but these are Japanese captives, and now they are facing the Han and Manchus of the Qing Dynasty. These Japanese prisoners had no scruples, so they fought harder than those servants. With [-] troops and [-] troops lost, they rushed to the city wall, and then a regiment of the field brigade followed behind, breaking through the city wall in a few strokes.

Those 1000 Japanese captives who survived were upgraded to servants. At this time, the remaining more than [-] Southeast Asian servants were also upgraded to a punishment camp. They were finally not needed to charge, and they all hugged their heads excitedly. cry bitterly.

It took only two days to capture the county seat.

While reporting his achievements, Yapeng attacked forward, pulled out several enemy strongholds in a row, and was the first to reach the capital city of Bingzhou.

After Wan Douni heard about Yapeng and consulted him on how to use it, he also used it in the same way. A few days later, the Tenth Field Division joined forces and went under the prefectural capital city.

At this time, there were more than 5 Japanese prisoners of 2, [-] were transferred to the servant army, and [-] were still captive soldiers. They threw the Jinkai [-] matchlock guns captured by these captive soldiers. The flintlocks were also armed with three-pounders and six-pounders, and a fierce battle began.

The remaining 1 Southeast Asian servants led [-] captive soldiers to charge towards the enemy's positions and trenches. In one day, more than [-] prisoners were killed and wounded. On the other side, [-] prisoners were killed and wounded in one day. Two thousand Japanese servants captured the enemy's outer line. A position and a trench.

The commander of the enemy, Chen Yanjing, was running around in a hurry in the Fucheng yamen. He didn't expect the enemy to be so unafraid of death, to fight like this. Those people rushed up desperately. Many soldiers had already told him that those were not Han Chinese, but Japanese. .

Chen Yanjing waved his hand, "Come here, let the Goguryeo soldiers and Japanese soldiers in our team go out of the city to replace those captive soldiers adapted from the Dajin Kingdom. Since the Japanese and Goguryeo soldiers are so good at fighting, let them go."

But the next day, the Huaxia Army did not besiege their other trench and fort position, but waited, and the rear sent another [-] Southeast Asian prisoners of war and Southeast Asian Han prisoners of war from Southeast Asia. These were Du Ge's original subordinates, and Thousands of Dutch, British and Siamese intermarried offspring, and another [-] prisoners of war were handed over from Japan, as well as [-] Japanese civilians. These are the families of Japanese soldiers who fought stubbornly.

Zhang Qiang wanted to destroy the Japanese nation with all his heart, so he didn't even let those people go. How to deal with the 500 million people would be troublesome, so he set up a clever trick to punish them with the crime of stubborn resistance and drive them to the battlefield. The child is too young at five years old Those who are below the age of five will be sent to let the Qing Dynasty deal with them.

In a few days, Wan Dou Ni, who had not attacked until now, waited for [-] Qing soldiers from Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, including Mongols, Manchus, and those who were stubbornly resisting the Han Army Banner. It's too slow to kill them and go directly to the battlefield.

Soon Wan Dou Ni launched an attack again, surrounded by captive soldiers on all sides of the surrounding iron barrel, surrounded by three field brigades, one directly under the division headquarters, and one brigade of the garrison brigade following behind. .

Layered, the captives from Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture came first, and they held the captured swords, bird guns, three-eyed guns, Jinkai 1 matchlock guns, and behind them were the Southeast Asian indigenous servant troops, who were the supervisory troops. .

The battle lasted all morning, broke into the enemy's trenches three times, and captured fifteen enemy fortresses. Then the Han and Mongols who died were replaced, and then the Qing soldiers and the Han army banner soldiers and prisoners continued to charge, but they replenished the trenches. They besieged the fort, and then mobilized Japanese civilians and captives to attack the trenches. It took an afternoon to capture the enemy's trenches and smash the enemy's positions outside the city. Although there were still some small villages and forts that did not fall, they It no longer affects the fight against the state capital.

The casualties were heavy. The 5 people who came from Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture almost died, and the remaining 5000 people were taken back to the punishment camp and were responsible for transporting supplies in the rear. Day two of fighting.

The next day, they replaced the Southeast Asian captive soldiers and attacked the enemy's best position outside the city. It took a whole morning to capture almost all of them. The Japanese civilians and captive soldiers also settled the battles in other areas outside the city. There were a few hundred people left, and they were merged into the transportation brigade of the punishment battalion, responsible for transporting supplies. There were still many Japanese captured soldiers, and they continued to attack the city with the artillery support of the Huaxia Army.

After fighting all night, a city gate was opened in the early morning of the next day, and then the remaining captives and servants who had not participated in the battle swarmed up and rushed into the city.

The Huaxia Army and the garrison brigade just sent some troops into the city to consolidate their positions, guide them to attack, and accommodate those who fled and ran away.
