Chapter 578: The Difficulties of Running the Southwest

Zhang Qiang will not care about what future generations will evaluate, Genghis Khan is the Genghis Khan of the Mongols, and it is the Genghis Khan of Outer Mongolia, not the Genghis Khan of the Chinese, we can't learn from the Koreans, right? Not their own heroes are absolutely not allowed to be chaotic, in ancient times Genghis Khan is not your Han Genghis Khan, nor does it belong to the Chinese nation, today's Mongolians are Chinese, only living within the scope of a country, contributing their labor to this country, and obtaining the means of living necessary for a stable life from this country, and accepting the protection of this country are the people and people of this country.

Therefore, those who live abroad and have a foreigner's heart towards foreigners, have foreign nationality, or bloodline are actually no longer Chinese, overseas Chinese are those who are dedicated to China, and their nationality is Chinese is the Chinese, even if your blood is foreigner, but your heart is to China, and you have lived in China, and you have done things for Chinese, your nationality is Chinese, and it is Chinese to protect China's interests anywhere.

If your hair, skin, and blood are all of Chinese blood, but nationality is not, and you don't do things for the Chinese, not even overseas Chinese.

So to make everyone differentiate, don't treat traitors as Chinese, don't live abroad, work hard every day to contribute taxes to foreigners, and accept the idea of foreigners, when you fight, you must participate in the army of foreigners, fight Chinese, then, do you say this is still Chinese?

We need a united, cohesive Chinese who have no explanations and no confusion, not some Chinese in the broad sense, Chinese in the narrow sense, absolute purity, absolute purity of national blood, in order to have cohesion, in order to stand firm in the face of external attacks.

The battle in Southeast Asia is in full swing, and it will definitely not be finished for a while, and the battle in Yungui is also going on, and it will definitely not be finished at once, but after all, the battle has begun.

And the real situation is that the Chinese army has an absolute advantage, where it is not the world of firearms, where thousands of miles are places with harsh environments, years of conquest, warlord melee, so that the place is poor and bad, and the people are full of people, to conquer those places, it takes some effort, mainly because the immigrants have to adapt to the life of the place, and settle down and stand firm.

As the war continued, the financial, material and manpower needed to be mobilized by the Huaxia army were almost astronomical, and the ancient dynasties for Southeast Asia, Yunnan and Guizhou and other places were far away, Tusi was everywhere, inconvenient management, sparse population, and taxes were difficult to guarantee, so many dynasties did not go to the expedition as long as they recognized that it was their own territory, but canonized the Tusi head as an official, managed where, and then set up an official office, just do the errand.

Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangzhou, and Southeast Asia are all places where ancient dynasties exiled prisoners, where officials committed crimes and degraded officials, so even if they lose one or two county seats, or kill some people, they will not care.

But Zhang Qiang, who came from later generations, knew that these places would cause trouble for the dynasty in the future, and they might let the dynasty fall and drag the dynasty into the abyss of destruction, so he vigorously rectified these places.

Successively threw about a million captives to these places, hard labor, anyway, these people are Han people, all from the south or north of the green battalion, Han army flag, and Ming army prisoners, the blood is pure, even if there are some Mongols, Manchus, after sending a lot of Tusi prisoners, and immigrating to many Tusi tribes on the border, these places are already the largest Han people, all ethnic groups, mixed together Chinese nation.

Li Guangdi of the Cabinet of the Ministry of Education sent 30,000 children to these places, these children were originally collected and collected from the original Ming scholars, 20,000 Xiucai, these Xiucai were previously recruited as attendants of the Chinese army, and the scholars were brushed down, who had previously lived a civilian life, and had lost the qualifications of scholars and had a sense of superiority, and now they were sent to three places, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, and other occupied places that were full of immigrants and prisoners to appease the people, set up private schools, and educate the people.

Of course, not all captives enjoy the qualifications of the common people, those who are stubborn and do not repent for several years, and the prisoners who have a relatively long prison term, their role is to open mountains and roads, repair city walls, camps, and stockades, while the hard labor in the hard labor camps are arranged to dangerous areas, build roads, open mountains, and open mines.

The mines of Hung Kat in Vietnam required a lot of hard labor, and these captured Annam people did not have Han Chinese and Mongols, and the Jurchens were hard-working, so they still needed to work.

When it is dangerous, the soldiers can also use them as cannon fodder and shields, in fact, they are slaves like ancient Rome.

The system recently evaluated Zhang Qiang's dynasty as a half-serf, half-slave, semi-feudal, half-civilized dynasty, and Zhang Qiang did not mind.

As the war continued, the militia sent by the Yunnan-Guizhou side had already drawn out all the militia in the core areas of the interior, and the garrison regiment had also been withdrawn, but the troops were still insufficient, and Zhang Qiang had to transfer the Third Guards Brigade to help.

Then the 28th Field Brigade was dispatched to help, so that Yungui had a field brigade without feathers, a brigade of the field brigade defending the area around Guangzhou Prefecture, the 28th Field Brigade, the 3rd Guards Brigade, the garrison regiment of Gao Jie and Gao Zhixiang, and the militia brigade, with nearly 150,000 troops.

Then there are nearly 1,000 civil officials, civil officials' families, and 300,000 people who have immigrated to Fujian, Anhui, and Suzhou.

At the same time, there were 40,000 prisoners, as well as a militia brigade converted from prisoners who had contributed to the Battle of Hubei.

Yunnan-Guizhou, Annam, Laos, and Burma, these four places are like beasts with big mouths, how many troops, how many officials, how many militias, and how many people will swallow them.

Yungui is better, how can there be Han people, and Han deserters, these deserters can still be used if they are reformed, and the Han people let them live a good life, and they will soon be members of the Huaxia Army.

Wu Sangui is a good person, whether he is running Yungui for himself, or for the Qing Dynasty, in short, the Han people have not been abused much, and there is a momentum of growth, and the land has changed from the original chaos to order, so when he withdrew, he left about eight million people, these people have the people of the ethnic minorities who are interested in the Tusi of the Han people, and there are also Han people, deserters, or Han people brought by various warlords, in short, the recovery and management of Yungui will not be much difficult, The difficulty is to clean up the warlords and the difficult toasts, who always want the privileged toast heads.

According to Zhang Qiang's guess, Yungui will be pacified within the year, and then let the 300,000 people who have become accustomed to the Huaxia Army under the rule of the Huaxia Army and more than 1,000 officials and officials' families, as well as tens of thousands of militiamen, take the lead to help those people get used to the Huaxia Army and stabilize Yungui.

The most difficult thing is the soldiers and horses of the other side of the Dashun army, Liu Tichun, Hao Shaoqi and others, it is not an easy thing to recover them, but it is a matter of Sishan Prefecture, although Yungui is close, but as long as the other party does not attack himself and does not attack the Huaxia army, Zhang Qiang is also temporarily left to them.

And where can they contain Wu Sangui, He Tengjiao and others in the four mountains.
