Chapter 742: There are too many Japanese to deal with
Zhang Qiang looked at the broken warships that came back one after another, and listened to the report of the governor of Xinlu Prefecture, "One hundred sixty-ton transport ships were sunk, two hundred were damaged, and there were 1,500 casualties, and only 700 wounded and unfit for combat have been found.
One hundred and twenty ships of one hundred and eighty tons were sunk, one hundred and sixty were damaged, and the damaged ships also returned, with three thousand five hundred casualties, of which one thousand one hundred were missing, and the rest of the people found also returned.
Thirty ships of 300 tons were sunk and ninety were damaged, with a total of 799 lost and 1,300 wounded.
Twenty-eight ships of 600 tons were sunk, thirty-seven were damaged, and 3,500 were killed, and those who were slightly injured were diverted to other ships that were intact, and those who were seriously wounded were brought back, as well as some personnel who were not fit for combat.
Of the 800-ton ships, twenty-two were sunk, seventy-seven were damaged, of which 13 were seriously wounded, and 4,200 people were killed.
Seven thousand-ton battleships were killed or wounded, and twenty-three of them were slightly wounded, all remained on the battlefield, and the wounded returned.
Hundreds of large and small warships of the enemy were captured, as well as 100 merchant ships and fishing boats passing by, and now they have been escorted back one after another. ”
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Qiang is not optimistic about this expedition, because Xinlu Province is still very fragile, 80% of their people are Japanese people, they are Japanese, Xinlu Province is actually a foreign power, it is a team of Han people in Lu State, their landing on the Japanese island is equivalent to an event like the Jurchen Dajin invasion of the Ming Dynasty, they are now similar to the Qing Dynasty, with one percent of the population and ethnic group to control the remaining 99 percent of the enemy ontological nation.
In the history of thousands of years, those tribes and nations in Japan have long since died out, and the Japanese have long been a Japanese nation, which can be regarded as a microcosm of the Chinese nation, inferiority, small peasant cunning, arrogance, conceit, a little achievement is proud and does not know what to believe, and then floats up for a while and is beaten by a more powerful nation.
Because of their small size, they are immersed in development and want to surpass, and the enemy will not exterminate them because of their size, so they have countless opportunities to rise, but the Chinese nation is not good, the volume is too large, once they are beaten down, it is difficult to reverse for a while, and it must be three or four hundred years to do it.
The same is true on Shikoku Island, even inferior to Xinlu Mansion, in fact, Zhang Qiang wants to maintain the second prince and their Han power, but unfortunately the second prince does not want to fight against the Japanese, but surrenders to the more powerful Japan like his father, or he still maintains a plan in his heart to use Japan to resist the Huaxia army, but the intervention of the Qing Dynasty and the Dutch directly allowed them to fight with the Huaxia army.
This is the sorrow of the weak, you can't help but listen, a Japan, the second prince may be able to resist, after all, there is a geographical advantage, but with the Dutch, they will not pay attention to that geographical advantage, their strength comes from the sea, there are the Dutch and the Japanese land and water attack, the second prince can only bow his head, with the overall arrangement of the Qing Dynasty, make suggestions, the four countries of the Han force has become the enemy's puppet army in the eyes of the Han people.
This time Xinlu Mansion attacked Shikoku Island in a rage, this is really a very outrageous move, can bury all the achievements of Xinlu Mansion in the past half a year, with Zhang Qiang's character, even if he is suppressed, he must endure for a while, wait for the strength to surpass the enemy too much, wait for the Japanese people here to be replaced, and wait for the main ethnic group of Xinlu Mansion to be divided into three classes.
With the current structure of the Han people, it is very likely that a single failure will cause turmoil, which will lead to the instability of this structure, because there are endless things in the Han people who sell the interests of the main nation for their own interests, that is, the power of traitors will always be greater than the power of these people who have backbone and do not hesitate to sacrifice in order to protect their own country and nation.
At present, there are three main components of the Han people in Xinlu Province, the mixed Han people who have been over-crossed by the Japanese and the Han people in previous dynasties, the Han people who have been in Japan for several generations but have not been mixed-race and have long been integrated into the Japanese nation, the pure northern Han people brought from the Lu State and a small number of southern Han people, and the Han people who are mainly officials, officials' families, and soldiers' families.
There are also some people who are Mongols and Han army banner Han people, Han people who are deeply rooted in the Qing Dynasty ideology, slave Han people, this is the smallest Han branch force, at present they are attached to the Han group, and they are also part of the Han power, this part of the people's thinking is not stable, and they may become the part of the people who lead the way or dig the foot of the wall and hope that the Han power will collapse.
These four parts of the Han people together account for about 178 percent of the population of Xinlu Province, and there are also some Han people who are pure Han and mixed-race Han people in Southeast Asian aborigines, and these Han people together with the first four parts of Xinlu Province constitute the current 20% of the Han group.
The indigenous people of Southeast Asia account for 5 percent of the total population, which is the result of immigrants and captives who have been transferred by the Chinese army.
Even if these people were put together under the pressure of the Huaxia Army and the suppression of the officials brought by the Xinlu Prefecture, they would only account for a little more than 25 percent of the total population, and the rest would still be the Japanese people.
The tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers in the fleet of the attack were Han Chinese, and the sacrifice of these people was too much, which further reduced the number of people occupied by the Han people in Xinlu Province, which was not conducive to the rule.
Zhang Qiang is a little annoyed, this person can't be killed, now there are not so many places in the Huaxia Kingdom that need manpower, many hard labor camps have been abolished, and the hundreds of hard labor have either died, or they have been turned into captives, to work, and the captives have also turned into ordinary people, after all, many prisoners are actually strong men captured by the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, that is the existence of the Han people, how can the Qing Dynasty have so many troops, and they are all sold without millions of troops.
Therefore, after 20 years of continuous labor, those captives died in their twilight years, and those who should have survived did not have the ability to make trouble, and after being turned into the common people, they were thrown to Southeast Asia, and those bitter cold areas in Yunnan and Guizhou went to be ordinary people.
Maybe the second half of their lives will be spent in Qiongzhou Prefecture and Baodao Prefecture, and they will become local people, and those newly captured Han Chinese will be tolerant, as long as you change your mind, then you will become a militiaman, serve for two years, and behave well to become local people, or immigrate back to fill the population gap in the core area.
Not Han people are thrown into the mine as laborers, now many people have changed their thinking, for the future of their children, they also admit that they will become Han in the future, so the captives in Southeast Asia have become fewer, many are newly captured, now the main body of the captives has become Japanese, Zhang Qiang can not convert so many Japanese population into Han, because the blood and genes of the Japanese are relatively solid, just like Uncle Hei arrived in Guangzhou in later generations, dyeing the Chinese into black not black, white not white, The gray and gray Guangzhou Indians are gone.
It is too difficult for tens of millions of Japanese people to convert to Han Chinese.
Only a small amount of change, Sishan Prefecture lost 300,000 Japanese is already a difficult thing, it will be difficult to digest in the future, there is no place to throw so many Japanese into it, if the Japanese blood is allowed to pollute the Han blood, it will be the failure of the Chinese nation, look at the Northeast of later generations, the treasure island of later generations, the Japanese will turn the bloody men of the Northeast into a comedy life that can only play treasure, and turn the treasure island into their language family, and become a bridgehead position for them to attack the mainland.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong's son Zheng Keshuang is here, he wants to see Your Majesty." The Captain of the Guards reports.
Zheng Keshuang What kind of thing is this, do you have a relationship with him?
There are some friendships with his Laozi Zheng Chenggong, a Japanese mixed-race Han who don't know each other, but can this friendship make him a reason to meet him?
Although he always gives this Zheng Chenggong some care in some aspects, it is also to ask him to take his people away from Huaxia and not make trouble with himself, if he says that he can still crush him in a head-on battle, maybe the Huaxia army and sailors can still crush him, but if it is a sneak attack and trouble at sea, then he is not as good as Zheng Chenggong, the sea is so big, even if he sends out all the current Huaxia army and sailors, it cannot be said that Zheng Chenggong's troubles for the Huaxia Kingdom can be contained.
Now the Huaxia Kingdom and the Taixi people are enemies, the commercial power of the Taixi people can't reach out to the Huaxia Kingdom, and all kinds of goods in the Huaxia Kingdom can't let the Taixi people get benefits, because they can't buy it even if they have money, and the Huaxia Kingdom doesn't sell it to them, as for some conscience dogs to eat, Zhang Qiang, a merchant of the Huaxia Kingdom who smuggles at any time, doesn't care, and can't put an end to it.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang tried his best to provide benefits to Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time fooled him to go to Australia to develop the territory, anyway, in the future, it will also be an anti-Chinese vanguard territory, and it is too far to become a white-eyed wolf like Singapore because it is too far away.
As for planning in the future and making some trouble for them, it will be a matter for the future, and now they are too busy to be busy, Sishan Prefecture must be unified, Qiongzhou must be developed, Baodao Prefecture must continue to develop, Southeast Asia must be assimilated, and the most important thing is to speed up the pace of the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the Huaxia Army is ready to start destroying the Qing Dynasty, in short, there is no time to play with the Australian Zheng Chenggong forces that are thousands of miles away.
"Let him in, and you can get out." Zhang Qiang said to the guards of the pro-guard team.
