Text: Fight again against Annam Kyu

In the city of Bac Ninh, the Shuangxiong Army has been completely controlled, and the soldiers and people bravely organized the people in the city to clean up the battlefield. Countless bodies were carried south of the city for burial. Collapsed buildings were cleaned up everywhere. The wounded of the enemy can be treated as long as they are not crippled or life-threatening, and the rest are treated as dead. The loot is the top priority. Chen Feng and the others arranged for more than 2,000 people to count and collect. In order to appease the people, 30 catties of grain per person were distributed at the same time at the time of the count, and women were organized to kill pigs and sheep to cook a big pot of rice. In the evening, the cavalry battalion sent men to escort the enemy envoys into the city. Chen Feng and the two met. After a period of discussion, the two agreed to the envoy's request to wait for him to return to Hanoi to communicate with the emperor before making plans. However, the two did not loosen the conditions they asked for last time, and at the same time added two articles, one is that Zheng Jie must be handed over to the Shuangxiong Army, and the other is that all the Li Army troops north of the Red River surrender and accept the restructuring of the Shuangxiong Army, and at the same time, the civilians north of the Red River are not allowed to withdraw to the south. The family members of the surrendered Li army were not allowed to be mutilated and handed over to the Shuangxiong army for resettlement.

By noon the next day, the city had returned to normal. Many shops on the streets were back in business, pedestrians were coming and going, and wagons of straw bricks were brought in by horse-drawn wagons to civilians to repair houses. Prisoners of war were also removed from camps outside the city. Due to the war, the surrounding people have been affected many times but have become slightly homeless, and they have rushed to stability. Outside the city, no riots were set up. All materials should also be put into the warehouse. The harvest was very great, with a total of 22,170,000 taels of silver, 97,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of jewelry, and 390,000 stones of grain. More than 50,000 weapons of all kinds. 5,173 prisoners of war. There are more than 30,000 cattle, sheep and horses. The Twin Heroes suffered 765 killed and 614 seriously wounded. The Mozambican army lost 7,140 killed, 720 wounded, and more than 1,000 scattered. The enemy lost more than 17,000 people in the front and rear battles, and 5,900 people were killed.

In the tent, Chen Feng and his gang listened to the report beautifully, and after reading it, everyone applauded warmly. When the applause stopped, Chen Feng stood up and said: "Everyone, this battle has gained a lot, but the most important thing is that our Shuangxiong Army has finally gained a foothold through this battle, where the four seasons are warm, fish and grass are abundant, and the grain is ripe three times a year, and we and our families will no longer starve and be displaced in the future." But now we are fighting all the way, the depth is too great to control the place we occupy, although the Li Dynasty is now weak and defeated with one blow, but it has been operating for many years, and I can't rule for a long time under my rash efforts. Therefore, an armistice and recuperation are inevitable choices. Today, our army controls the plain north of the Red River, with a population of about 80,000, but most of them are old and weak women. There are less than 20,000 young and strong men, and if they are forcibly recruited, there may be chaos. The population of the mountainous area around Gaoping in the northwest is about 50,000, but I don't know if there are still 30,000 in many wars. Moreover, this place is not yet under the control of our army. The population of Qinzhou is 230,000, and the number of strong men is about 50,000. More than 10,000 have been levied, and if they are levied again, they may affect all kinds of production and shake the foundation of our army. In today's situation, our army will be the main defender, and it will be unfavorable to go to a big war again. If you have any thoughts, please let us know. ”

There was a discussion in the tent for a while, and they all echoed it. Fang Shi leveled his clothes, stood up and saluted: "What your lord said is very right, the current plan is to stick to the territory, build a large number of buildings, and recruit talents to consolidate the frontier, so that the people can produce with peace of mind and stabilize the people's hearts." But how to do it is up to the two adults to arrange. ”

"Oh! General Staff Fang is a very wise man of my two heroic armies, what strategy do you have now, please come, I will listen to everyone. Chen Chun said

"Gentlemen, gentlemen. Although I have some small skills, they are all old plans and old strategies written by ancient books, and although they are rewarding to use, they are not as good as the two adults. The two adults' strategies are unique, and there are innovations everywhere. Let the enemy not touch the north. Everything used is twice the result with half the effort, so I still ask the two adults to set a strategy, and we can only act according to the strategy. ”

"What General Staff Officer Fang said is very true. Yes, speak, my lord. ……。 ”

Chen Feng took over and said, "Okay, but the big strategy will be improved in the future." Now we should fill up the territory that the army has taken control. Li Xiang's regiment was expanded into four battalions to form two regiments, Huang Jiu, Chen Fubao was promoted to regiment commander, and the four subordinate battalion commanders were Huang Wu, Zhang Shun, Zhong Jiu, Liu Er, and Ding Yi. The cavalry battalion was expanded into a cavalry regiment, with Huang Qiyu as the regiment commander, Ma Lie as the deputy commander, and the commander of the first and second battalions of the cavalry. The Fourth Army was also expanded, with Li Daniu and Wu Dakai as the commanders, Ding Er, He Shiqing, Zhao Zhen, and Deng San as the battalion commanders. The Fifth Chen Zhongxin Regiment was expanded at the same time, with regiment commanders Huang Li and Chen Fubao. Battalion commanders Fu Kaigui, Zhang Chang, Luo Wu, Deng Jian. The Mosan Security Battalion was reorganized into an independent security regiment, with three battalions, including Lin Qing, Ruan Wengui, Mo Ying, and Yan Jun. After you take office, you will immediately expand the formation, including Li Xiang's regiment and Huang Qiyu's cavalry regiment in Bac Ninh, and all those who are willing to surrender our army's prisoners of war, and the Mo army will be selected by you first. The Su Ren Regiment went to Haiphong Gaibao Island to expand. Chen Zhongxin's regiment expanded the remaining prisoners of war and elite civilians, and the Mosan Security Regiment selected the remaining personnel to expand. After the expansion was completed, the security regiment was stationed north to defend Gaoping, Li Xiang, Chen Zhongxin's corps and cavalry regiments to garrison Bac Ninh to pose a threat to the Li Dynasty. The Suren Corps garrisoned Haiphong and blockaded the mouth of the Red River. At the same time, the Second Fleet was stationed in coastal defense, forming a combination of land and sea. Fang Shiping, you will make civilian arrangements for each legion, and at the same time assign capable personnel to receive local civilian officials and civilians to form the Annam Administrative Region, and you will temporarily serve as the governor. The Governor's Palace is located in Bac Ninh. After the speech, everyone in the audience was happy, and they all stood up and saluted excitedly: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the importance of the adults." ”

It was said that the envoys of the LĂŞ Dynasty arrived in Bac Ninh and signed the Ding agreement as required. In the following year, the Shuangxiong Army took the remaining 2,000 Li troops into custody. The whole battle is over. On the third day, the Li Dynasty began to send all kinds of compensation money and goods. Fang Shiping led the staff to please order. The Twin Heroes Army was expanded, and under the temptation of rounds of brainwashing skills and superior treatment, prisoners of war and all kinds of personnel joined one after another. And the Shuangxiong army also raised the conditions, so that many people were disappointed. At the same time, a lot of money and goods are gathered here. Refugees gathered everywhere, and in a few days, the population of Bac Ninh increased from less than 20,000 after the war to more than 60,000. At this time, Fang Shiping changed his strategy and began to change from relief to work. Shaoji refugees build roads and level the ground. At this time, the city of Qinzhou was also organized by the Pacific Company, and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life came to invest.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Annan Administrative Region was controlled, and Chen Feng and his party stayed in Annan with everyone in order to settle the army. At this time, the Shuangxiong Army basically did not need to think more about the two of them, and everything was done according to the system. Chen Feng and the others just wandered around, and they were familiar. When the sun goes down, the city of Bac Ninh is full of joy and the sound of firecrackers is endless. And Chen Feng and the others held a banquet with the wealthy businessmen on this night. In the venue, instead of being based on people as before, each table represents a chamber of commerce or company. After Mo Jingkuan gave up power, he also formed the Annan Chamber of Commerce, and also sent personnel to participate tonight, while Mo Jingkuan himself was seriously injured and bedridden, and now he is still in bed in Gaoping Palace. There were 23 tables for the dinner. On the rostrum, Chen Feng and the two sat in the middle, and on the left were the interim governor Fang Shiping, the political officer Chen Wanqing, the commercial officer Zhong Wenzheng, and the police officer Wang Wangguo. On the right are Lin Sancheng and Li Quan of Pacific Company. Fang Shiping, as the governor, spoke first, so he stood up and saluted: "Distinguished guests from afar, as a local parent official, this official thank you for your face. Nowadays, the entire Annam Administrative Region has been in ruins for a long time after war, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. Now for the benefit of the people, it is restored to life. We have a special Annam reconstruction fund of 1.2 million taels for the reconstruction of Mong Cai, Cao Binh, Hai Phong and Bac Ninh. We plan to expand the city by expanding the Bac Thi ferry port to Bac Ninh Port, and the wooden terminal in Hai Phong into a wide hard-bottom port. At the same time, the original dirt road was expanded into a solid four-lane road. In order to ensure the smooth completion of these projects, all the roads in Annan to build factories and build shops to settle down, the land used is free of charge, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, such as the merchants can recruit people everywhere to come, regardless of men, women and children, they will get one or two silver, and at the same time, the people who work here will be provided free of charge by our Annan Administrative Region. If you are interested, we will send the project book to everyone to read and discuss one by one. Finally, I wish you all a prosperous and prosperous New Year! After the speech, the audience began to talk about it, and of course the excited expressions were everywhere. Because of such generous conditions, who is not impressed? During the discussion, twenty-three beautiful women handed out a copy of the project book to each person.

Merchants have signed.
