Lord of Ming Dynasty

The battle didn't come to an end until Chen Yanjing led the Manchu soldiers to break through the encirclement and escape.

Of the 20 cannon fodder soldiers, there were only more than 8 left, and all of them turned into servants and reorganized.

Chapter 8: Shanxi Prefecture was brought down by cannon fodder

With more and more cannon fodder soldiers, the punishment battalion is also getting bigger and bigger. Prisoners who have been maimed and who have proved themselves are transferred to the punishment battalion brigade. The guards of tens of thousands of prisoners, these prisoners are Qing soldiers, but soon these prisoners were pulled up, and then more and more prisoners were sent from the rear, hundreds of thousands of prisoners.

However, as the consumption increased, when the Bingzhou capital was conquered, about [-] captives turned into servants and joined the punishment battalion team, becoming the punishment camp supervisor soldiers who guarded other prisoners.

As Datong Mansion was occupied by the Tianying troops of the Eighth Field Division, and the Battle of the State Capital ended, Shanxi Prefecture was taken down.

50 prisoners were killed or injured, 20 servants, 80 Japanese and Southeast Asian civilians, 20 Japanese civilians and captured soldiers were converted into servants, and [-] servants were allowed to stay in the rear to guard new prisoners.

The Qing soldiers in Shanxi prefecture had a lot of prisoners, most of them were soldiers and horses from the original Dajin Kingdom, about 70.

More and more Han people and Manchus were arrested to support the Qing Dynasty, and soon exceeded 200 million.

Under the supervision of the 200 Punishment Battalion, [-] million people began to dig mountains and build roads, repair city walls, and restore people's livelihood, agriculture, and water conservancy everywhere.

20 servant soldiers were left to help the [-] punishment battalion to guard the prisoners, supervise the repairs of various places, and restore people's livelihood. About [-] Japanese civilians and Japanese servant soldiers were loaded into carriages and transported to Taizhou Prefecture, and boarded ships to Indonesia Island.

20 captives of the Qing army were also transported to the Indonesian island, and at the same time there were 40 civilians, where the people of Han descent were shipped.

After that, according to the previous method, loyal Han people were transferred from the core area to immigrate to Shanxi Prefecture to dilute the influence of the Qing Dynasty here and expand the influence of the Han people here.

This time, some people from Yunnan and Guizhou, some Han people from Yunnan Prefecture, some Han people from Guangxi Prefecture, and some Han people from Jinling Prefecture, a total of 20 people, plus [-] private school teachers from various places, and [-] people from the Advisory Council. The old and the young from all over the world came to settle here, and the retired Chinese officials wanted this place to be completely merged into the Huaxia Kingdom and occupy it.

The Han people here went to Baodao Prefecture, Dongying Prefecture, and Qiongdao Prefecture to dilute and transfer more than 100 million Han people. No matter what education they received before, they still have Han blood. Many people still consider themselves Han people. Those people need to be more insured.

The loss of Shanxi prefecture left Hebei prefecture and Yanjing area in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, there are also the Liaodong area that passed through Shanhaiguan behind them, and the Koguryo area that was conquered by them.

"Your Majesty, Governor Wei Wuji hopes to add more Japanese civilians and captured Japanese soldiers to suppress the Siamese tribes and Indians there." Zhang Qiang sat in the Jinling Palace and summoned Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo raised Wei Wuji's hope to him. .

"Well, we can transfer 100 million people from Japan to where, let them fight dogs with Siamese tribes, and at the same time send 20 Japanese servants from Shanxi Prefecture, how many troops do they have? Give them a few more reinforcements A garrison brigade goes up."

Li Dingguo said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the garrison brigades in Henan Province have been changed this time, and the garrison brigades in Henan Province have been replaced. Instead of going to the defense area, they have been added to the Merlin Fish Corps. The garrison brigades in Huzhou, Guangzhou and Hubei have been added to Shaanxi Ganzhou, the newly established garrison brigades in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture have been transferred to Dongying Prefecture. The garrison brigades in Huguangzhou and Hubei Prefectures are now vacant. I am transferring garrison brigades from other places. Fortunately, where is the field brigade of the Bagyalu Corps? Guard, otherwise, there will be no troops anywhere."

This is a problem. How did the Song Dynasty perish and how did the Tang Dynasty perish? Both the frontier troops were strong, and the core troops were just a pile of dung. They rotted in the peaceful age and could not resist the rebellious frontier troops at all. The same is true for the Ming Dynasty , the troops in the border towns are strong, but they don’t resist the enemy. They went to farm, lied about the military situation, how many times the Qing army entered the pass, and ravaged the land in the core area. Those soldiers and horses in the core area will only stick to the city, and the field troops will only fight with the enemy Playing hide-and-seek, not daring to meet the enemy, fighting, plus a bunch of Donglin party members blindly commanding, so they perished.

Now in the capital area of ​​Jinling Prefecture, there is the Bagyalu Corps that has returned from deployment. In Guangxi and Guangdong Prefectures, there are Fengwuyu Corps. However, in Zhejiang Prefecture, Fujian Prefecture, and Huguangzhou, only the garrison brigade is on defense in these areas.

Because in the early stage, each state had one garrison brigade, so the troops were not enough to guard. Now there are picket brigades, but that is the conversion of the militia. The elite militia brigades in many areas have been incorporated into the garrison brigades, but these garrison brigades have not yet All reorganization was in place, and the garrison brigades in some areas were pulled to the front to supplement the lost field division troops.

Therefore, many areas are actually empty and have no defensive force, especially in the states behind the front line. Their garrison brigades are either drawn to the newly occupied Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, or to Shanxi Prefecture, or to Sishan Prefecture. There are not many garrison brigades in Yunnan and Guizhou, only one garrison brigade is on guard.

The problem now is not to fill the gaps in the garrison in these areas, but to replenish the front line.

The land is big, and the troops are not enough.

You can't use the servant army to replenish it. The servant army can only be used for consumption, not for replenishment.

"As soon as possible, move the picket brigade that has put up the shelf in place, let them fill the vacancies in those empty areas first, transfer a garrison brigade from Zhejiang Province, and transfer a garrison brigade from Yunnan Prefecture to Southeast Asia to fill the garrison vacancies in Cambodia. Shaanxi-Gansu There are also quite a few garrison brigades in the state. Five garrison brigades are enough. There is no need to replenish them. The planned garrison brigade is also intercepted and assigned to Henan Province to let the Bagyaru Corps recover its strength as soon as possible. Dismantle their corps, transfer the cavalry brigade to Shanxi Prefecture, and transfer the other brigades to key states to defend for a while, and wait for the troops to be freed up."

After talking about this, Li Dingguo packed up the materials and said with a smile: "In the first battle in Shanxi Prefecture, although we lost a lot of troops, in the subsequent battles, none of our regular field army troops was lost, only dozens of people died. Tens of thousands of Japanese people and hundreds of thousands of Japanese servants, as well as the prisoners of the Dajin Kingdom and the Qing soldiers, it can be said that Shanxi Prefecture was brought down by cannon fodder troops. I suggest that in the future, Hebei Prefecture should also be attacked by cannon fodder troops.”

Zhang Qiang rubbed his chin and said: "Of course, let the captured Qing soldiers charge first, after they have proved themselves, then turn them into our servant soldiers, and then use Southeast Asian soldiers to charge to prove that they have become servant soldiers. If there is no proof, it will continue to be used after supplementation on the second day. The hard idea is to let the Japanese civilians be captured.

Transferred to some difficult places, anyway, when we fought the Japanese island, there were millions of Japanese people and hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners. There were nearly 30 people and 100 million prisoners in the Shanxi-Gansu battle. Shanxi Prefecture was even more than this number. Many, almost 100 million civilians and 200 million captives, and there may be more people to resist in the future, and then all of them will be used as cannon fodder. "

Chapter 881 Hong Tianpao sitting on the crater

When Zhang Qiang and the others were having headaches with tens of millions of Japanese people and more and more Southeast Asian people, and trying to figure out how to reduce them, the third prince, Hong Tianpao, was also having a headache here, and his soldiers were fighting more and more. Tianpao also noticed that there are more and more Japanese people in his territory. It was 50.00% before, and now it is 70.00%.

The rest are 20.00% of Southeast Asian people, while Han people only account for 5.00%. As a traditional Han, Hong Tianpao can sense the danger, and he has called ministers to discuss this issue more than once.

Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are still Han Chinese, but some generals have appeared Japanese and Southeast Asians. Although they are still middle-level generals, there are more and more Japanese soldiers in the army, and there are more and more Southeast Asian generals. up.

Compared with Japan, a single nation, Southeast Asia is much more complicated. There are Annanites, Laotians, people from the Donghu Dynasty, Indonesian natives, Luzon natives, Cambodian natives, and unknown tribes. , and even Australian aborigines, as well as mixed-race Westerners collected by Spain from all over the country and sold to Southeast Asia.

They were not a big threat, but they could not be used as their own help. Once the Japanese wanted to rebel, they would become a burden instead, which made Hong Tianpao very uncomfortable.

15 Han soldiers are not enough, [-] is a bit difficult, [-] is the limit, because there are not so many Han people.

He now only has 60 soldiers and horses, [-] of which are stationed in various parts of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and [-] are assigned to serve as senior commanders in various servant armies. A mere [-] soldiers and horses will suppress the current nearly [-] servants and horses, which makes Hong Tianpao Terrified, he didn't take it seriously before, but now he feels more and more that he is sitting on a volcano.

Among the civil and military officials he summoned were his brothers, the second prince Hong Hongxiu and the little prince. Zhang Qiang didn't want to be dead, so he handed over the captured second prince and the little prince to Hong Tianpao. Even though the two of them wanted to send someone to kill each other in order to fight for the throne, Hong Tianpao still didn't have the heart to kill him once the second prince really fell down one day.

The second prince has been under house arrest by the third prince for a long time. The little prince has taken up some idle positions and is responsible for handling some civil affairs for him. Hong Tianpao is not afraid that they will turn against him. The soldiers and horses of the two of them have been wiped out, and the rest are also gone. Incorporated by Zheng Zhi, they are bare-bones. Apart from the little influence of the Hong family, they don't have any capital to fight against themselves, not to mention that Hong Tianpao still has two family members in his hands, as well as the family of the dead eldest prince.

The second prince and the little prince also knew that it was thanks to the third prince that they were able to survive, so they didn't cry or make trouble, and became their own rich men at ease. Today Hong Tianpao called them, they knew that the third prince Hong Tian Cannon must have had a problem.

However, the identities of the two are too sensitive, and they have been afraid to speak, to avoid suspicion.

Hong Tianpao really had no choice, "Second brother, is there any way to change the current situation?"

Hong Hongxiu looked at him, a little embarrassed, Hong Tianpao was thinking about ghosts, and immediately guessed what his second brother was thinking. Everyone is a king, and some things are the same, and immediately said: "It's okay, second brother, tell me, I don't care. will blame you."

Hong Hongxiu looked into Hong Tianpao's eyes and saw that he was not lying, but sincere, so he said, "It's not difficult to solve. I can solve our predicament with the following points. The easiest way is to let people bring money to Nanyang recruited Han people, and the Han people there were tortured by Zheng Zhi, the natives, and the Spaniards. The two sides fought countless times, and the entire Luzon Island was smashed.

The Spaniards have strong ships and powerful guns, and elite soldiers and horses. Zheng Zhi and the others are numerous and powerful, but they have to deal with two sides, one is the Spaniards, the other is the local indigenous people, and their weapons and equipment are not good enough. We have what we have from the Chinese Army. We will exchange our weapons for them, give them some money, and let them distribute some Han people to us, as well as the Han people in Southeast Asia or the indigenous people of Han blood who have fled to Southeast Asia. We don’t need purity like the Huaxia Kingdom Han Chinese, we only need to be Han Chinese. "

Hong Tianpao knocked on the armrest of the chair, nodded slightly, "That's right, there are many descendants of Han people in Nanyang, and there are also Han people from Ming and Qing who fled. Wan Han people, so the population of the territory we occupy will increase."

He raised his head and asked again: "Then second brother, what else?"

Hong Hongxiu stroked the gray beard on his chin, "Is this the second one? You have a good relationship with the Huaxia Kingdom. The Huaxia Kingdom has just conquered Shanxi-Gansu Prefecture and Shanxi Prefecture. There are many prisoners. Just buy them. There are quite a few of them. , are all Han Chinese, even Mongolians and Manchus, these people always trust us more than the Japanese.

In addition, you can buy some captives who serve as soldiers, so that you can give them both kindness and power, change their clothes, give them new guns, and organize some servants to manage them, then the Han Chinese team will increase a lot. I guess now The Huaxia Army is taking too many prisoners for them. Now that the Huaxia Kingdom has occupied more than half of the land of Ming Dynasty, there is no place to use these prisoners. Let us solve some of them for them, so that it makes you more friendly to them, third brother. "

"Is this the third?" Hong Hongxiu hesitated.

"What's wrong, Second Brother, but it's okay to say, no matter what Second Brother says today, I will forgive you, Brother Wang, for your innocence." Hong Tianpao said eagerly.

Hong Hongxiu stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Third brother, you are on fire."

"Presumptuous," the four guards standing beside Hong Tianpao, his four most loyal servants, and his confidant master shouted together.

Hong Hongxiu immediately stood up and knelt in front of Hong Tianpao in fear, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I deserve death for my crime."

Hong Tianpao stood up and took two quick steps, "Second brother, what are you talking about, I said I forgive you today, but it's okay to say."

After speaking, he turned his head and yelled angrily at several guards and masters: "This is my second brother, your master, is there anyone who treats your master like this? Next time, go to the punishment camp and stay alone."

The Huaxia Kingdom has punishment camps, and there has been a continuation of the Lu Kingdom that has been learning the traditions of the Huaxia Kingdom. In the Ryukyu Kingdom, Hong Chengchou’s sons actually established punishment camps, which were also dedicated to detaining criminals and prisoners of war. There are also hard labor camps. , the hated characters were sent to the labor camp, the labor camp is not a good place, it is a frightening place.

But of course Hong Tianpao was not stupid enough to send his most loyal guards to a hard labor camp, he just gave his second brother a step down.
