Chapter 697: The War between Lu and Japan
Under the repressive policy, groups of captives and slave soldiers drove out of the camps, and they were no longer criminals who dug rivers and opened mountains, built roads, and repaired city walls, but were now cannon fodder troops with kitchen knives, bamboo weapons, and ragged clothes.
A group of 300 hard soldiers, plus a group of 200 captives, which of these captives were the ones with the longest sentences, plus a militia self-defense force of 50 people with account books, the self-defense forces used shotguns and muskets, and one or two Jingai-1 arquebuses, who transported supplies and weapons and ammunition, plus the elite soldiers of the militia brigade of 50 people, who carried Jingai-1 arquebuses in their hands.
These men were led by a garrison battalion flag with two liaison soldiers.
Such a group of men drove into the mountains, searching a section of the mountain, a section of the forest, or defending a village in the deepest part of the mountain, according to the orders issued by the headquarters, and helping the immigrants to resist the attack of the rebels.
There were fifty such troops, and they were the first to be sent into the mountains.
Each team has 10 days, and killing 10 rebels is considered to be the completion of the mission, and after returning from the mission, everyone is demoted, punished, or executed altogether.
Under the high-pressure policy, in the space of 10 days, 17,000 soldiers and prisoners were lost, 3,000 soldiers and horses were lost by the militia self-defense forces, 1,000 by the militia, 200 by the garrison battalion soldiers, and 30 by officers.
The battle was brilliant, killing a total of 750 rebels and protecting 32 villages with less than 50 people, 15 villages with less than 100 people, and 3 villages with 300 people.
Clear the rebel guerrilla area within a radius of about twenty miles.
Subsequently, the 700 captives who were promoted became civilians, divided into 700 natural villages, filled the seven natural villages that had been completely exterminated by the rebels, and then moved into other places to send 1,000 people, and completely occupied the area within 20 kilometers.
Three hundred and twenty men were freed from hard labor, and these people were also turned into common people, and the seven hundred captives in front of them, and the 1,000 immigrants formed a small township of 2,000 men, and a militia force of 200 men was sent to garrison it.
Twenty days later the second cleared area reappeared, and another two thousand men were filled, and that area was larger than this one, so there were more soldiers stationed, and where the militia of five hundred men was stationed.
By the time the third area was emptied, there were not many rebels left, and almost all the teams of more than 100 people were wiped out, leaving only two or three hundred stragglers.
The Huaxia Army, under the command of Baghyalu, gradually pressed the enemy's area of activity and eliminated the rebels.
A month later, except for a few dozen people who had not yet been excavated, the rebels had largely disappeared.
However, new problems always arise, and according to the intelligence sent, it was found that the revolt was premeditated, especially the remaining dozens of people, among whom it was clear that someone was in command.
Zhang Qiang didn't want to spend any longer, he could figure out who was directing this rebellion, it must be Du Ge, Du Ge had been in the Huaxia Army for so long, and he had learned some of Zhang Qiang's styles, but he was obviously unprepared for the storm he set off this time, and Zhang Qiang seized the opportunity and ordered Baghyalu to be extinguished in a very short time.
After that, Zhang Qiang ordered the Ministry of Civil Affairs to strengthen supervision here, and this resistance basically disappeared.
In this storm of the rebels, the Huaxia army lost the smallest village unit in the deep mountains, one hundred and fifty Orion villages with three to four people, all of which were wiped out or coerced by the rebels, and the deep mountain villages of twenty people, who were responsible for experimental survival in the deep mountains, were also wiped out, with one hundred and ten, more than sixty villages with less than fifty people, and more than thirty villages with less than 100 people, with a direct loss of 4,000 people.
However, Zhang Qiang immediately filled these areas with more immigrant populations, and the immigrant population in these areas alone increased to 6,000 people, as well as the captive-converted civilians, as well as the degraded militia and garrison battalion officers and soldiers, and their families, as well as the most converted population of the convicts in the hard labor camp in this battle, a total of 4,000 people, and 10,000 were filled by Zhang Qiang at once.
From now on they are the people here.
As for the hard labor, nearly 60,000 people were killed and executed by the enemy this time because of various excuses, and nearly 30,000 prisoners were also captured, which also solved some of Zhang Qiang's henchmen's problems.
Then more captives and slaves were sent here to build roads everywhere and connect the immigrant villages, so that they could no longer become natives of the mountains and become another people.
Just as Taizu encouraged young people to go to the mountains and go to the countryside in the middle of the founding of the country, the young people born in the second and third generations of the Huaxia Kingdom were also encouraged to settle in these poor and remote lands to fill the population shortage here and use their bloodlines to purify the situation of more ethnic mixtures here.
At the same time, it brought Zhang Qiang's new education, promoted Mandarin, promoted simplified Chinese, promoted reading education, and assimilated these people.
Dispel their hatred of the Huaxia Army.
After the completion of this place, Zhang Qiang asked Li Dingguo to send people to learn from the experience here, and then go back three months later to concoct such a small country in Southeast Asia, don't be afraid of resistance, suppress it with iron-blooded means, and assimilate it with education.
According to the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department, they told Zhang Qiang that Du Ge and some small indigenous countries supported him, and that the Han Chinese prisoners were very troubled by Zhang Qiang's methods.
Zhang Qiang smiled gently, and then gracefully returned to the capital of Jinling, the center of the Huaxia Kingdom, with the personal guard group.
This was handed over to He Jinzhi and Baghyalu assisted him.
The day after returning to the capital, Zhang Qiang received a report from the Ministry of Military Intelligence that the relationship between Lu and Japan was deteriorating, because at the end of their Japanese island chain, the shoguns who had unified Japan for a long time obviously did not want to see a Han kingdom jubilant and alive better under their feet, so the two sides went from the previous non-interference with each other, self-involvement, to trade frictions, to mutual contempt, to small-scale samurai attacks, to one or two merchant ships attacking each other, and finally developed into a small-scale exchange of fire between the Daimyo Shogun of Kagoshima and the Lu army, Warships sneak up on each other.
Neither side wants to give way to the other.
So a naval battle broke out, but it was a small naval battle.
There were nearly 1,000 warships, nearly 1,000 small sea ships, and nearly 1,000 large merchant ships brought from the interior of China, and Lu still had the upper hand in the naval battle with the Japanese.
However, the Japanese were cunning, bribed, assassinated, and sneak attacked, which caused a lot of headaches for the Lu country, but Hong Chengchou of the Lu country was hesitating, and the area of the Lu country was too small, and the population was too small, and he obviously felt that he was not confident enough in Japan, a big country of 10 million people.
In diplomacy, he was very passive, and repeatedly overstepped his command in the war situation, so that the lower-level generals could not provoke or fight back when they encountered the Japanese, and tried to dodge as much as possible, which made the resentment of the Lu State boiling, turbulent, and many sailors and generals attacked the enemy's merchant ships privately and blocked the enemy's trade routes, but they were immediately suppressed by Hong Chengchou, dismissed, imprisoned, and punished.
Through intelligence, Zhang Qiang felt that this was not another Qing Dynasty and another Republic of China?
It is strong on the inside, but always so weak on the outside.
