It's been more than 10 days since the big battle, and the blue sky of Kuching House is like a wash, and the smell of flowers and fruits smoked by the hot wind is accompanied by bursts of birds.

The climate of Borneo has also become more and more distinct, since the pacification of the three hairs, the weather has been hot day by day, and the rain has not been less, and the patriarchs have really felt what it means to be in the same period of rain and heat for the first time since they came to this world.

Truckloads of new grains are threshed, bagged and transported to granaries in Kuching City on the outskirts of the city. All the output of the peasants, who had saved enough rations, was exchanged for silver coins or banknotes by the Transit Division and the Buying Warehouse. The people used it to shop at the markets in Kuching or to deposit their surplus money in the newly opened Chinese bank in the city.

Walking on the smooth concrete road into Kuching City, several bunkers at the intersection were left behind. On one side is the ox cart carrying grain into the city, and on the other side is the villagers from near and far who have received money and made a big purchase in the city.

Walking across the newly built stone bridge across the Sarawak River, you will come to the square in front of the City Hall, surrounded by a cluster of new buildings, all of which will be the future offices of Kuching Province, including government offices, government police, banks, customs, schools, hospitals, .......

The brick and stone floor of the square has been swept away, and the reflection of the flat glass windows of the city hall has a layer of blue light in the distance, even if the heat wave is rolling, it still makes Pizza feel a chill in her heart.

It's different. ’

From the bottom of his heart, the old chief didn't think that there was anything wrong with his decision to join the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how he looked at it, he had no choice. But when it comes to facing this regime, I can't help but feel a little weak. But Pizza didn't have to worry too much, for he was far from the only one who was trembling, and the real unfortunate man had already cooled away ten days ago.

Ten days ago, on the afternoon of the Ledo tribe, when the elite of the Ledo tribe reached the wall of Yamaguchiyo, all the chiefs of all the tribes came to fight outside the tent, and the snipers of Tanaka's group easily killed four people, including the patriarch of the Ledo tribe, Laduro, but unfortunately the accuracy was a little worse, allowing Almuddin to escape. Although the coalition forces had not yet collapsed, they were already frightened by the night.

When the reinforcements of Pontianak arrived, the fire they saw was the counterattack of the Han people of Yamaguchi Yang in the night, after all, there were few Han people in Yamaguchiyang, and the courage to kill the past during the day was still poor, but it was a pity that a good annihilation battle was defeated, but fortunately, the ground of the three rounds was not large, and the three militias came together to break the foundation of the Zhongfan Division, although they could survive by escaping into the rainforest, but more chose to surrender, after all, the credibility of the Song army was quickly spread through the shouts of the new captives.

By the third day, except for sporadic resistance, the major tribes involved in the siege of Yamaguchi had been basically wiped out, and the corpses of the native soldiers who died in the forest were counted four or five hundred, and the number of prisoners was as high as 3,000.

Because of this battle, the five fortress townships around Kuching have lived up to their name, and the militia have received credit and accepted their names, but they are more deferential in front of the Transit Division. At least in terms of interests, both the Han people and the natives have tied themselves to the chariot of the Great Song Empire, and the control of the fortress townships by the post-war transfer division is no longer something that any clan or fan can resist by themselves.

In the days following the war, several boatloads of men were sent from the north, including newly naturalized cadres and Brunei ministers, and Kuching's rule was strengthened by a series of internal and external moves.

In any case, when the vaccinia vaccine of the Ministry of Health and Welfare was injected into the bodies of the Han people in various villages, the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in this place was declared to be as safe as a rock. Whether it is gratitude or calculation, even if it is only for the sake of the safety of future generations, Apisa believes that no one will come out and do anything to the government.

Fresh fishing goods are being carried ashore at the wharf outside the southern city, Ah Pizza knows that some of these fishing goods are local to Kuching, and there are also Tan people who salvage from the mouth of Lundu Creek, and the patrol ships of the transshipment department have been checking the passing ships in this sea area every day, and all fishing boats have to pay 20% of the catch as a tax, but because of the official maintenance, the sea is much more peaceful, and because the transshipment department has brought enough refined salt from the north, the fresh fish that cannot be sold in time do not have to worry about being exploited by Hong Kong merchants. Nowadays, the government-run processing factories give priority to the purchase of fish and shrimp from the taxpayers for pickling, which seems to be a lot at 20% of the fishing tax, and the fishermen have increased their fishing income a lot because of the liberalization, but in fact they are all willing.

In just a few days, there are not many fishermen left in the vicinity of Kuching who have not been registered with the Transshipment Division.

Vegetables are already lacking in the local area, but this year's market also has a lot of fresh goodies.

I don't know when it began, Kuching has a delicious dish in Kuching that is sliced with bright red fruits called tomatoes by the Song people, sprinkled with caster sugar, also from the north, and the soup and juice overlap in one bite, and the sour and sweet taste is excellent. It is rumored that such fruit was also brought by the chiefs to be planted, and I heard that the officials in the Transshipment Division also enjoy it with ice cubes on weekdays, but it is easy to enjoy.

The chaos in the council chamber was no worse than that of the outside market, and although the victory came with some ease, a few days were enough time for the participating ministries to recognize their interests. It was during the break before the meeting, the leaders of the various families were arguing about today's issues, anyway, there were rare ice cubes in the hall to cool down, and there were all kinds of drinks to enjoy, no matter how you look at it, it is not a trip in vain.

"Xuanfeng, the Hongyi village over there in Shankouyang is about to come down, right?"

An acquaintance saw Api come in, and came over to ask, the men and horses of the Lun Du Department contributed a lot in this operation, and the transfer department also fulfilled the promise to give Apisa's son a false position of Yilu lieutenant, and gave Api a loose official of Xuanfenglang, although he has no real power, most of them have to live in Kuching permanently, but with an allowance from the imperial court, the status is different. Moreover, in terms of actual duties, there is also a member of the CPPCC, who is called a member, and in the future, he should be able to get a piece of the pie in the national trade system of the Great Song Dynasty.

For such a result, Ah Pizza is not worried, but very happy, with the official position of the imperial court, whether there is real power or not, at least it adds a layer of protection to himself and the tribe, so as not to be afraid of the disaster of extermination. In the future, as long as you serve the court, or the government as it is called in the new tense of the present tense, you will have endless benefits. What about myself and my son living in Kuching? Come here to enjoy the blessings, the various enjoyments of the city are not comparable to the countryside like Lun Du, not to mention that the construction of Kuching is also in full swing now, a few days is the same appearance, standing in the chamber I dare not imagine what kind of new scene I will see after today's meeting.

As for saying that all the children in the clan should be sent to the government school, that is not a bad thing, and reading and literacy will be used by the chief in the future, which has been confirmed by the naturalized people from Brunei. What's more, when children are sent to school, the first thing they have to do is to get pox, which is a great thing.

Putting down the thoughts in his heart and returning to the questioner's question, after the first battle of Yamaguchiyang, Ma Ke quickly led the army back to his pillbox, and gathered hundreds of elites in the rest of Alimuding's troops in the middle, and now he is hard to withstand the attack of the coalition forces of various departments.

The Japanese army was watched from the wall, and only a few militias remained in the periphery to blockade them, leaving only the local soldiers of various tribes to besiege them on their own. After all, it is a lonely corner, even if it is surrounded for half a year, the Transshipment Division does not plan to use the regular army. It would be good to leave it to the tribe to show their loyalty, and the Dutch were still useful after all, and there was no need to fight for themselves.

Without thinking about it, Ah Pizza said: "The militia of Lun Du are all sent by the Yun Si Yamen, and my sons have come to Kuching with me, how can they know what is going on over there." ”

Now besieging the Dutch fort, the militia of the Lun Du Department is there, but they are all under the command of Chief Zhao, although there are many of their own clansmen in the middle, but they can't do it if they want to mobilize their men or understand the front-line intelligence, and they also commit the taboo of the chiefs. And now the most active besieging the Dutch is precisely the Chinese merchants of Yamaguchiyang, not only to contribute money and efforts, but also many of the children of the family to personally go into battle, if you ask about the war with Hongyi, ask Mao Hong should be more clear than a pizza.

After talking about the Dutch for a while, I talked about the ownership of the gold mines that each family was most concerned about.

Just when everyone was arguing about how to divide the gold mines of the Ledo tribe, the chiefs finally arrived. It is rare that today's time is coincidental, and the people have arrived neatly, and seven or eight elders below Liao Yun have all entered the venue, and the scene is immediately solemn with the arrival of the chief and his own soldiers.

"Let me introduce you, this He Junju and Wu Yunju are both newly sent officials from Brunei Province, and they will also be local parents in the future."

As soon as the words fell, it was a stack of compliments, He Yizheng and Wu Xiaowei were used to seeing it, they came here, one was responsible for the planning of the military garrison in Kuching, and the other was in charge of the deployment of Kuching's economic construction. Behind them is a cadre team of nearly 100 people, there are veterans, but there are more naturalized people, nearly half a year, whether it is immigrants from other roads or local Han people in Brunei, under the influence of the chiefs, they are gradually able to do simple transactional work. The cadres who were sent to Kuching were scattered to the villages, and not too many remained in the city.

When everyone arrived, the guards of the council hall closed the door, and it was finally time to get down to business......

…………

Outside Kuching at this time, it was indeed a different scene.

The playground is 210 meters long and 136 meters wide, with a simple fence and a runway paved with loess, one side next to the original south gate wall of Kuching City, and three three-storey buildings on the other side that are the main body of the playground and the barracks where the recruits live. In addition to the 'veterans' sent from Brunei, more of the army barracks are now selected from the militia of various fortress townships, all of which performed well in the Sanfa pacification battle last time, and a total of nearly 200 people were selected from the five fortress townships, and more than 200 people were selected from the various departments of Sanfa Shun, especially Yamaguchi, and 400 people filled the newly built military camp.

The young people knew the difference in what it meant to be here, and they also heard from the veterans how decent the Great Song soldiers were in Brunei, so they naturally paid more attention to their daily training, for fear that they would be eliminated and return to their hometowns if they fell behind in their grades. Although the treatment of the militia is not bad compared to the mercenaries in the past, and it is a stable entry, it is still a breath of air worse than the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and this time it is different from the previous recruitment of Brunei Province, with the foreshadowing of the previous series of victories.

I heard that today is the day when the clans of various families go to the city to meet and discuss important matters, although they know that the heads of their own families who pass through the barracks may not be able to hear it, but the recruits are extremely hard today, no matter where they are born in Hanfan, they always want to give their clansmen a long face.

Looking at the recruits on the playground, it has only been less than ten days, and it has already reached such a scale, and Tanaka has finally justifiably become his commander. There are more than 100 Brunei soldiers to lay the foundation, Tanaka has his own confidence, and when there is a war, he can fight a few times in a dignified manner, and there is no need to hide in the city and put black guns.

Although Li Xiaoyang encountered some embarrassments in actual combat, he was able to do a good job of ideological work for the recruits because he was well equipped with military training theories, and he was able to use him as half a political commissar in the battalion. Second, Tanaka and several other elders are lazy, and they have been in Kuching for a long time, and they have been completely relaxed recently. There are no big military targets to fight around, and the internal defense is more about the construction of fortress groups, these new He Yizheng worries, professional things, Lao He, the person in charge of the scene who has been in a foreign-related security company before, is stronger than a gangster from a city management background like him.

Pour a glass of chilled fruit drink, hide in the shade of the verandah and watch the children who are exercising below, and the pride is overflowing. This barracks is good everywhere, in terms of hygiene and cleanliness, except for Labuan Island, even if all other places under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty can be compared with the previous one, the only regret is the air conditioning. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but because of the scarcity of copper, even though the drawings are ready-made, and the power can be replaced by animal power, it can still only stay on paper, but fortunately, the big ship has not yet sailed away, and you can still go up every week to enjoy a 'modern life', and the patriarchs don't care too much.

In terms of material security, Tanaka asked himself that the army built by the traverser is unmatched today, but the spiritual construction is more important, and the military victory is important, but it does not make the soldiers understand why they are fighting, and they will always face the danger of defeat. Just like in the past, when I was a chengguan in that world, I had no goal in mind, and even though I had the right to enforce the law, I was faced with many unarmed vendors, and I had to bear tremendous psychological pressure. And this feeling of weakness and powerlessness, even in today's situation of winning a hundred battles, occasionally invades Tanaka's heart, especially in Nanyang, where witchcraft is still prevalent, and there is the continuous erosion of foreign religions, and the mental state of the native soldiers is particularly worrying.

"Report to the chief, the Transit Division has informed you to go to the meeting." Tanaka's thoughts were interrupted by the news of the soldiers, who thought that the spoils distribution meeting had already been held, and the meeting should be informed to the local elders.

It took less than half an hour to arrive at the council chamber, and as the sun set, the crowd that had bustled during the day had dispersed, leaving only a group of elders in the hall. Seeing that everyone had arrived, everyone changed to a small room, and after taking their seats, Tanaka saw that there was a page with red letters on the small table in a circle, except for the cold drink.

When I picked it up, I couldn't help but read it.

'Resolution of the Senate of the Great Song Dynasty on Several Important Issues Concerning the Strengthening of the Spiritual Civilization and Ideological Construction of the Empire'
