Chapter 760: Trivia Annoyance 1
Returning to the many headaches of government affairs, many headaches are coming again.
Du Ge's strength increased again, occupying one-fifth of Siam, with 30,000 troops, with front-loading smoothbore guns, front-loading rifled guns, front-loading artillery, and back-mounted artillery, all the things that Du Ge knew before he ran out of the Huaxia Army He got out.
Although the main force of his troops was Siamese and the main force of his officers was Han Chinese, his strength had increased after all.
This is a headache tumor, Zhang Qiang's hands can't go deep into that place at all now, Tian Xian and Li Yuanyin sent are not Du Ge's opponents at all, and it took half a day to get a regular force of 5,000 people in that projectile land in Cambodia, or a force with a guerrilla nature, they grew up in the battle with Du Ge, and at the same time, it was equivalent to feeding Du Ge and training himself, and at the same time making Du Ge's troops stronger.
What is Ma Hansan doing in Southeast Asia?
And Liu Liangzuo, what is he doing in Laos?
What about Mahan?
What about Li Dingguo?
If they don't have their own orders, do they know to defend three small countries?
Can't you send an army out a couple of times to interrupt the enemy's development?
Forget it and wait, now I don't have time to take care of anything, just let Li Yuanyin and Tian Xian continue to toss, if they can take Cambodia down, it can be regarded as a credit, and now Zhang Qiang is still concerned about Japan.
On the Japanese side, the second prince still did not succeed, there was no chance, the Japanese sent 500,000 troops, poured into Denios Island, strengthened the second prince's troops, under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty, the Dutch, and the British, the second prince signed a treaty, and the Japanese took over his debts to the British and Dutch, he was responsible for working for the Japanese, and finally drove away the second prince of the Huaxia Army to obtain the title of General De Nios, became the general of De Nios Island, and joined Japan.
In the name of going back to ship weapons and ammunition, the Dutch and the British, with gold, silver, raw silk, ore, salt, cloth, wood, and other commodities looted from Japan, boarded four 180-ton armed merchant ships and detoured the Pacific Ocean and went west.
Left the Japanese and the second prince stupidly confronted the forces of Xinlu and Shikokufu, the autonomous territory of the Huaxia Army.
And the stupid Japanese didn't know that they were abandoned, and thought that they were so strong that the Xinlu Prefecture would not dare to fight the island of Kitakyushu, and on the island of Shikoku, they thought that they could defeat Feng Quan and their forces with one more fire, and then take advantage of the situation to hit the island of Kyushu, where the Xinlu Prefecture is located.
Denios Island was besieged on three sides, only one bay could enter and exit, the Japanese dispatched troops day and night, transporting as many as 500,000 troops to Shikoku Island, and at the same time mobilizing as many as 200,000 people to the island, they thought that the advantage of troops was on their side, and the 300,000 troops of Xinlu Province were not to be feared at all, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the third prince's family were missing, and they used 500,000 to fight 300,000, and at the same time, there were 150,000 remaining troops of the second prince, which was enough to destroy Shikokufu.
Feng Quan had returned to Xinlu Mansion, Prime Minister Yan was on his side to deal with civil affairs, and the 240,000 troops who had experienced the war were taken over by Zhao Hui, who took over the battle of Siguo Mansion instead of Feng Quan.
The 60,000 troops were withdrawn because Feng Quan knew that Xinlu Mansion was empty, and the total regular army strength of Xinlu Mansion was originally only 70,000 troops, but later expanded to 110,000 troops.
So 60,000 militiamen who had passed through the war withdrew from Shikoku Island and continued to recruit from the common people of Sinro Province, mainly militia, 60,000 plus 70,000, such a regular army force was enough to defend the island, 10,000 troops were stationed in Kagoshima Prefecture, and 120,000 troops were stationed in several towns on the front line, and in the coastal fortifications.
The front line is carrying out intensive training for the remaining militia that has been transferred from the front line, and at the same time, young people from several towns near the front line are constantly being recruited to join the militia team, and while training, they are allowed to patrol and guard to maintain law and order.
In the rear, Feng Quan is also doing the same thing, but what he does is not just to guard and maintain law and order, but to support Shikoku Island or later attack Japan's Honshu Island to reserve militia troops.
The newly arrived Han immigrants from the Chinese Kingdom and the indigenous immigrants from Nanyang, and many of the immigrants from Southeast Asia have experienced the era of the militia, and with a little reorganization, there is a militia force of 20,000 people, the officers are Han, the soldiers are aborigines, also known as the primary naturalized Han people, and the remaining Japanese naturalized Han people militia in Xinlu Province.
Generally speaking, although there is not much war in Xinlu Province, it is still a military-run area, there is not much livelihood, agriculture, and the young and strong population have been transferred to serve as militia, and agriculture is basically deserted, only some old people and women work in the fields.
If it weren't for the Japanese people captured in the early stage and the Japanese soldiers of the Daimyo General of Xinlu Province who raided some infrastructure construction, house construction, and coastal fortification construction, the current Xinlu Province is still a primitive society.
The existing population is 3 million, the Han population and the indigenous population are increasing, and the Japanese population is gradually decreasing, either into the war, or emigrated, some Japanese families who fought in Xinlu Prefecture have been emigrated to Qiongdao, Sishan Prefecture, some Japanese people who have participated in the turmoil have also been thrown into the Sishan Prefecture prisoner camp or Qiongdao mine, and even about 500,000 people have been captured in the prisoner camp set up in Hangzhou Prefecture, waiting for Zheng Keshuang's fleet to transport them away.
Nine hundred and ten ships, how can they all leave at once, Zheng Keshuang and they just recruited some fishermen and sailors, and drove away about 20 escort warships, as well as 50 warships of the Huaxia Army that arrived in advance, 50 merchant ships, this time a total of 86 small fishing boats were to be transported, all of which were placed on the decks of nearly 100 warships and merchant ships, and the remaining empty seats were vacated to carry some people, and the cabins were filled with the food and weapons they purchased, as well as other goods.
About this time, the population of the state was not more than 50,000, and the twenty escort warships each carried 100 people, which was the population of Han Chinese, but only 2,000 people.
One hundred merchant ships and warships, each of which had no soldiers to fight in gangs except for gunners and sailors, could only carry 200 men due to limited space, and after squeezing them hard, each ship carried more than 400 men, equal to 41,000 men.
The remaining thousands of people were loaded with a few 300-ton warships brought by Zheng Keshuang this time, and they could almost squeeze out.
As a result, the whole team is relatively bloated, and it will take almost four months to go back.
In the end, Zheng Keshuang had to beg Ruan Jin to give twenty more escort ships, 600 tons, divided into 2,000 people, and still have some combat effectiveness.
Half a month later, all the nearly 150 ships were loaded and drove away.
Twenty six-hundred-ton warships were sailors and soldiers on these ships of the Third Fleet of the Huaxia Army.
