Chen Shangchuan's soldiers stared blankly at this scene in the distance, forgetting the cheers for a while---- for the soldiers, it was better to be frightened, it was better to be shocked, they looked at the battlefield in the distance after the slaughter with a frightened face, there were patches of soldiers lying in pools of blood, those people were still alive just now, now many people have already died whining, and some are lying on the ground dying, some people are squirming in the grass, some are howling, and some are wailing - for many people, It was a scene that will last a lifetime.

After all, most of the people on the scene had never seen a battle in their lives that could harvest lives so efficiently......

Facts have proved that the two battles outside Leizhou City greatly improved the morale of Chen Shangchuan and his subordinates, and at the same time, General Chen and his soldiers saw the sharp firearms of the Australian army through these two battles---- if Chen Shangchuan visited the Australian army drill a while ago and felt that Australian firearms were too expensive, now he is not too expensive, because the Australian army miraculously did not have any casualties in these two battles, although Wei Ai and the two modestly emphasized that this is because the enemy is too scummy, if they encounter real Tatar heavy cavalry, There will definitely be a bad war, and of course, we are not afraid of a bad war and can win it.

In any case, Chen Shangchuan calculated in his heart that if his team had Australian firearms, even if it had relatively cheap Type 57 grenades @ bullets, then in most cases, his combat effectiveness would be greatly improved, and casualties would be greatly reduced.

You know, small casualties will not only save a lot of money, but also greatly improve the morale of the army, obviously the army's combat effectiveness will be further improved, so the self-built army has entered a virtuous circle, so from this point of view, Australians' firearms are actually not too expensive.

So the two sides soon began to discuss arms sales, obviously business matters Wei Ai and the two will not talk deeply---- Wei Ai and the two only played a demonstration role, the specific business negotiations should be carried out in Macau, where there is the trade representative of the Australian Commonwealth, as well as Chen Shangchuan's agent - the four Chinese businessmen.

Now, in addition to the Assassin staying on Wanshan Island to perform duties, Li Sanduo's fleet, Zhu Beiguo's fleet, the Duchess's and the Dutchman's fleet, Xue Laixiang's fleet, plus the fleet that Chen Shangchuan also joined because the pressure was reduced after the victory in the Leizhou battle, a total of sixty ships of all sizes shuttled back and forth between Dongshan Island and Wanshan Island day and night.

From Wanshan Island to Dongshan Island, under normal circumstances, there can be a round trip in four to five days, if you add loading and unloading, etc., six days round trip is more than enough, so from mid-July to mid-August, in just one month, with an average of 8 or 90 people per ship, more than 22,000 people have been transported to the large and small Wanshan Islands, if you count the more than 5,000 people that the last time the Nicole was directly loaded on Dongshan Island and Wanshan Island, by the end of August, 28,000 people have been sent out of the Leizhou Peninsula. Obviously, this figure is close to the expected number of people transported by Operation Constant Wind.

At that time, after seeing this statistic, the Red Mansion side once thought that Operation Changfeng was about to end ahead of schedule, but the news from Leizhou City was that there was no way to stop at present, and hundreds of refugees still entered Leizhou City every day, and at the same time, the number of refugees who set off from Leizhou City to Jiugang Village was about the same, and there would be a small peak of five or six hundred people from time to time.

Of course, no one has counted how many of them were willing, how much was kept in the dark, and how many were forced, but in any case, one thing is certain - that is, Operation Changfeng is likely to continue, and Chen Shangchuan and Wei Hong Ai Rushi both believe that they will not consider how to end this operation until the Qing court resumes its military response to the Leizhou Peninsula.

For the traversers, everyone knows that the Australian Federation does not have the strength to fight with a large number of Qing troops on the Leizhou Peninsula at present, and there is no need to die, as long as the refugees are almost collected, we will pat our butts and leave.

There is an extremely important reason why Operation Changfeng was able to develop to such a large scale in the end: Chen Shangchuan's local popularity.

Facts have proved that the locals agree with this General Chen, and Chen Shangchuan has considerable appeal among the local people under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Another factor is, of course---- this made Chen Shangchuan change his strategy, he did not do nothing inland on the islands outside the Leizhou Peninsula like in the old world, but with the support of Australia, he held high the banner of the Ming Dynasty and collected refugees on a large scale near Leizhou City.

In short, this is the first major operation in the history of the Australian Federation to obtain immigrants on a large scale, and its historical impact is very far-reaching, after the end of Operation Changfeng, Australia finally fundamentally reversed the situation of labor shortage, thus laying a solid and decisive foundation for the country's rapid rise soon after, and finally becoming the number one power to dominate the world.

Of course, at that time, there were still many twists and turns and efforts in how to let these refugees honestly get on the ship of the Australians---- after all, the common people are practical, and the reason why General Chen can let the refugees automatically gather to him on a large scale is the most direct reason: there is a porridge shed for large-scale relief of refugees outside the east gate of Leizhou City, which really attracted a large number of refugees and people from surrounding counties and villages.

However, even if there is an attractive porridge shack, things are not as simple as everyone thinks, and the local people, including those refugees, did not just listen to General Chen's call, and gathered in Leizhou City to wait to go to Nanyang to explore.

Obviously, this is impossible, and no one can so easily believe the one-sided words of a certain big man, and then stupidly leave his hometown and go thousands of miles to that completely strange place to earn a living.

Therefore, letting these people come over to drink porridge is only the first step, and the next step is to let these people who have drunk porridge obediently follow the Australians on the ship to the South Seas.

First of all---- of course, it is to publicize it is needless to say that not all those who come to drink porridge will listen to the Australians, who say that if you go ten miles further east to the wharf called the old village port, if you get on the boat, it will be of great benefit.

Although the soldiers around him enthusiastically said, "Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you follow the Australians to Nanyang, you will be given a large piece of land, and you will be given free materials and farm tools for building houses, and seeds for free, the most important thing is that there is no war there, no Tartars bully you, you can not be other people's slaves, you can enjoy freedom, you can marry a wife and have children there, and live and work in peace and contentment.

Obviously, for some refugees who have actually left their homes and become local, this rhetoric has some appeal, but it is only "somewhat" appeal.

Here, Australians are facing a fundamental situation: now the world of the Qing Dynasty has been basically stable, and there is barren land waiting for people to reclaim, especially the relatively sparsely populated "border provinces" of the country, as long as there is no war in these places, and the government does not toss the people, it seems that it is not difficult to live and work in these places in peace and contentment.
