On the 13th, Fang Liang received a reply telegram from the General Staff: Steady and steady, gradually advancing, pirates can be collected and suppressed, and the natives of the isolated island can be destroyed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fang Liang forwarded the telegram to Han Xin and asked him to inform the 6th Division to the regiments.

By January 20th, the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 6th Division had arrived in Manado, and the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion had also returned to the team after changing guards with the troops of the 4th Division, and the troops had occupied the cities of Gorontalo and Delnat, and had successfully completed the plan originally negotiated with Fang Liang. Now it is only necessary to wait for the 4th Regiment of the 4th Division to arrive and change the defense, and then it can continue to move eastward. According to Han Shin's plan, the city of Sorong was to occupy the city of Sorong by the end of the month, and the Dutch part of the entire island of Papua by the next month, but the time was already very tight.

After communicating with Fang Liang, Fang Liang asked him to switch the locations of the 1st Regiment and the 4th Regiment, and now let the 1st Regiment be stationed in Manado City, Gorontalo City and Deltena City, and wait for the 4th City to directly escort the 1st Regiment of the 6th Division to Agatz after the change of defense troops arrives, so that the division headquarters of the 4th Division and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regiments can be arranged to occupy Sorong, and then go to destroy the Dutch regiment in Jayapura, so that it can easily occupy Sorong, Manokwari and Nabire before the end of the month. Isolate the city of Jayapura. In this way, Han Shin will easily complete the task next month. And the advantage of this is to ensure the safety of the back road and logistics materials.

Fang Liang also demanded in a telegram that Han Xin return to Ambon City immediately after the occupation of Jayapura.

Fang Liang and the headquarters of the 4th Division and the 3rd Regiment arrived in the city of Makassar on the 16th, while the archipelago fleet and the provincial government of the archipelago arrived in the city of Makassar on the 14th, where they were already waiting for Fang Liang.

Li Jiang was very happy to be able to lead a fleet of torpedo boats with considerable strength, and the five torpedo boats of the 1935 model led by him were more advanced and faster than the destroyers of various countries today, and were equipped with high-tech sonars. The Admiralty was able to release itself to lead an army alone, and it must be for the sake of training himself, so Li Jiang very much wanted to make meritorious contributions. After Fang Liang arrived, he immediately reported his plan to Fang Liang, hoping that Fang Liang would approve his plan. Li Jiang's plan was to divide the warships of the entire Archipelago Military District into seven squadrons, five torpedo boat squadrons, and two destroyer squadrons. The two destroyer squadrons were directly assigned to the command and use of the two divisions, and the five torpedo boat squadrons were left to be stationed in Ambon City at any time to protect the safety of the provincial government, and the remaining three squadrons went out to clear out the pirates or co-opt pirates. Each torpedo boat detachment had 1 1935-style torpedo boat, 2 S6 and 2 G5 motorized torpedo boats.

Fang Liang was very supportive of Li Jiang's plan, and each detachment also assigned him a company of land forces to assist him in clearing the pirates, but before that, the archipelago fleet needed help escorting the army troops to the stationing place. This made Li Jiang's confidence even stronger, and he was eager to rush to Ambon City and go out to clear the pirates as soon as possible.

The name of the governor of the archipelago province arranged by the Lanfang Kingdom is Zheng Qiang, and he is an elite-level political official, and there is no doubt about the level, even if he is the prime minister of the government council, there is no problem, this is Zhang Wei in order to strengthen the administrative management of the archipelago province, which is a separate synthesis. The archipelago province is far away from Shangjing, and many affairs have to be dealt with in a timely manner, and it is easy to delay if the report comes and goes, so the archipelago provincial government is also granted great rights.

Fang Liang and Zheng Qiang will be the masters of this huge area in the future, and after the two met, they quickly determined the Taizheng policy.

The Chinese living in the archipelago area are obliged to join the army to defend the kingdom of Lanfang, and young people of appropriate age must participate in the enlistment selection, and those who pass the selection will join the garrison; select capable people from among the Chinese to serve as administrative officials in the grassroots government; Han schools were established in various cities to promote the Chinese language, and local forces were encouraged to establish Chinese language schools in other places; The islands with fewer than 1,000 people will be cleaned up when they are occupied, leaving no traces, and the islands with a larger number of people can gradually move to the barren land to gradually make room for the Chinese to live; Cracking down on piracy, all Chinese pirates formed a new pirate organization, gradually occupied Mindanao, and exterminated the natives above; Capture the Dutch as soon as possible and confiscate their wealth; Raise taxes on Bumiputeras, send a telegram to the Prime Minister, and help establish local tax systems as soon as possible; The Archipelago Shipping Company was established to integrate all the cargo ships collected into the Archipelago Shipping Company.

This time, Zheng Qiang brought 4 special administrative officials, which are the governors that Zhang Wei prepared for the future; 20 senior administrative officers to be sent to the municipalities to serve as mayors; and 40 middle-level political officials, temporarily serving as Zheng Qiang's helpers, and may also be sent to local areas in the future.

In the afternoon of the same day, Fang Liang's plan was sent to the fleet and fleet, and the 1st Torpedo Boat Detachment led the Machen cargo ship back to Machen to receive the 2nd Regiment, escorted the 2nd Regiment to Mataram and Dili, and was responsible for exterminating all pirates from Bali to Yandena Island, with the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Division cooperating; The 2nd Torpedo Boat Detachment led the merchant ships of Makassar to meet the 4th Regiment of the 4th Division in the city of Mazen and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Division to Palu, and escorted them to Manado, and then escorted the 1st Regiment of the 6th Division to the city of Agats, and was responsible for clearing all pirates from the city of Kaimana to the city of Marauchi, as well as the pirates around Artur and the Aru Islands; The destroyer detachment of the 4th Division escorted the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Division to Palu, and then escorted the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division to the city of Kendari after returning, and was responsible for clearing Sulawesi and the surrounding pirates; The 3rd, 4th and 5th Torpedo Boat Flotillas escorted the Provincial Government of the Islands Province and the General Staff of the Archipelago Military District and the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division to Ambon City, where they were responsible for clearing the pirates around Ambon Island and the hunters and natives of the surrounding islands. The first two fleets set sail on the 16th, and the last two fleets set sail on the 17th.

On the 18th, Fang Liang and his entourage arrived in Ambon City, and the 3rd Regiment landed first, quickly took control of Ambon Port, and other personnel began to land.

On January 24, the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division arrived in Dili City, and there were no Dutch troops on the entire island of Timor, as long as some Dutch police, all the Lan Fang People's Army surrendered obediently after they arrived, without wasting a single shot.

On January 25, the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division arrived in Manado, and the 1st Regiment of the 6th Division, which had been replaced, set out for the city of Agaz on the 2nd.

By 31 January, the headquarters of the 6th Division and the three regiments had all arrived in Sorong, and on 20 February the city of Jayapura was occupied, and all the Dutch regiments, except for the regimental commander, deputy regimental commander, regimental chief of staff, and battalion commanders, who had fled to German Papua, were captured. At this point, there were no Dutch troops within the boundaries of the Archipelago Military District.

After Han Xin returned to Ambon Port to meet Fang Liang, he said with emotion: "Chief of Staff, we are purely picking up cheap this time, and we have not fought a serious battle at all, don't breed pride, this is not conducive to the growth of the troops, how can we fight tough battles in the future." ”

"I have long estimated that there will be no hard battles to fight, we have 2 divisions, and the navy assists, the Dutch have 3 small regiments, there is no navy, and they are scattered to several places and stationed, you let him fight, how to fight? I have thought about the things that I want to train the army, that is, to clear the natives and pirates, you must know that the combat effectiveness of these pirates is not low, and if you capture a little training, you are a good soldier, and then it is the time for us to reap the results. ”

However, before the aborigines and pirates could be cleared, garrisons and police had to be recruited so that the regular forces could be replaced.

The Archipelago Military Region disseminates information on the recruitment of troops, police officers, and local administrative personnel to each occupied city, and in accordance with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, and implements the standards previously set by the General Staff and the Administrative Council. The Chinese in every city used to be bullied by the Dutch and the natives, but now they see that all the Dutch have been raided and the personnel have been imprisoned, and the natives have been suppressed, and they will be killed immediately if they resist at the slightest resistance.

By the end of February, the provincial government of the islands had dispatched the mayor and the directors of the subordinate bureaus and the relevant low-level staff to the cities, and the mayors and directors of the bureaus were all composed of composite personnel, and the county and township mayors below were appointed by the grassroots administrative personnel selected this time.

The municipalities have formed police forces of at least 300 people, some up to 1,000 people, and have gradually deployed county-level police agencies to the surrounding areas to strengthen their control over the entire archipelago area.

The armed forces of the Archipelago Military District have been further strengthened by the formation of 20 battalions of garrisons.
