Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dawn of the Savage

After a month and a half of cooperation and running-in, the three Yang brothers can actually not distinguish who is who, although they can use three hearts and minds to distinguish their existing identities with their respective women when they first wake up in their dreams, and no woman is by their side, they can only look at the color of the silk thread of the pendant when they wake up every day.

The color of Yang Mingming's pendant silk thread at this time is yellow, which means that the entrance to his home in the small secret realm is with him, and all military materials are transported through the hand-drawn gate, so Yang Mingming goes out more often late at night during this time.

The allocation of guns for these 600 "Burmese traitor troops" is the issue that Sensible has considered the most in the past half a month, after all, they must be given a chance to shoot live ammunition before going to the battlefield. In the last few days, they practiced aiming with flintlock pistols and practiced their aiming techniques, which is impossible to fight in the rainy season without a whole weapon.

The wisest of all was to make up their minds about the use of single-shot guns versus semi-automatic rifles, and between the two magazines and single-cartridge reloading technologies were in fact the last technology in rifle manufacturing. In fact, the difference between the two is not long, but for the new recruits who use it for the first time, it is completely a choice between victory and defeat, after all, the difference between the two armies in terms of strength is too great.

Although 15,000 German-Burmese troops were reorganized in this operation, only about 6,000 "cannon fodder troops" actually fought, and the "cannon fodder troops" will gradually replace the dominant position of the local Tusi in Germany through this exploit, so that Yang Mingyuan can achieve the political goal of "opposing the guest first" as soon as possible.

In the evening, we will arrive at the Lashio camp, where the German Army's Independent Regiment will hold a grand inaugural meeting, where the regimental flag, military flag, national flag, and flag of the "Iron Army" and the flags of the Toungoo and the German King will flutter gently in the evening breeze.

The first to arrive on foot was the Burmese battalion, and at the forefront were the chief and deputy company commanders of the third company, Ai and Sutun, which surprised the chariot and horse kings who arrived first.

"Surviving on the battlefield is better than the enemy!" "Promotion and wealth are the right way to defeat the enemy!" The troops shouted slogans in Chinese, which they were not very proficient in, and marched forward in unison with their chests puffed.

After a while, the small Han barracks and the new barracks were carried out in a majestic and high-spirited manner. shouted in unison: "Hardship is the first, enjoyment is the last; Invincible and invincible; Forward forward, fight to fight. Good boy, kill! Kill! Kill! "The 600 Small Soldier Artillery Battalion was the first expeditionary force to withdraw from slavery, and it was the first mixed unit to receive modern sergeant training.

Behind them are the cold-weapon Mabu soldiers led by Duan Da, who also have their own slogans, shouting loudly: "Fight without fear of death, always move forward, shroud in horse leather, serve the motherland." Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

It took more than 20 minutes for the Dai musket battalion to appear at the gate of the camp, and they slowly marched together under the reprimand of several family members, and they sang a slogan like a soft song very majestic, singing: "King Qin's rebellion, the first credit belongs to me, step on the Bagu, and capture the tyrant alive." Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The last three words were shouted until they were slightly neat.

After more than an hour, the Dai and Burmese kings were late, and all of them were weak, and there were no slogans or slogans. Twelve hours of marching, these untrained troops can come over is already very good.

In fact, only half of the twelve hours were rainy, and the march was very cool, and if it didn't rain, it was estimated that you wouldn't be able to reach the scheduled campsite for twelve hours.

After the establishment of the Army's Independent Regiment, the Dai firearms battalion received the 500 flintlock guns they had been waiting for for a long time, while only the officers above the company level were issued with flintlock pistols in the other two battalions.

This disappointed the Han recruits, who were the German royal guards, a left-behind force, eager to become familiar with firearms earlier than the foreigners, although they all knew that it would not be possible to establish an independent firearms regiment if it was not for the too many Donghu troops.

Recruiting 2,000 soldiers from a population of more than 30,000 has reached the limit of the newly relocated people, because if this battle is defeated, they will "return to a small underground country", and for the newly relocated people in the Central Plains, winning the war will be related to themselves and future generations.

Yuan Wendu was from the Wei Dishi clan of Hu blood and was the first battalion commander of the Guards Battalion. As a subordinate of Wei, he, like all the Wei people, could not understand why Guangling regarded all the descendants of Wei as cronies.

Of course, they didn't know the helplessness of King Guangling, and the territories of all eras under his rule couldn't tell Zhu Cizhuo, let alone know too much about each other. As for the people of Wei State, Guangling rescued them from entering the WTO, so they could only keep the society of this benevolent duke. Because they have common interests, and they also have almost secret secrets that need to be kept, otherwise they don't know what the future will be.

It didn't rain the next day, and Yuan Wendu had the courage to go to the corps commander Yang Mingren before leaving, and saw that the regiment headquarters was very busy and was packing up the station and preparing to leave.

Mingren and Yang Mingzhi got up late, and they were having breakfast at this time, and Yang Mingming, who had put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating first, asked Yuan Wendu: "Camp Commander Yuan, how is the situation in your camp?" ”

Yuan Wendu said with a smile: "The morale of the brothers is very high, and they are all anxious to practice marksmanship, and then they will be the main force in the vanguard battalion!" ”

Yang Mingzhi said: "There are some problems with the configuration of guns, and there is no time to produce them, so they may have to be adjusted." "It's not that it's too late to produce, it's that it's not prepared at all, and even if it's prepared, it's too late to produce.

The arsenal of Myoka Country is manufacturing front guns and modern shotguns, and even the production of flintlock pistols and rear loading single-shot guns is not considered, and how can the manufacturing speed keep up with the changes of time here.

After eating, Akihito smiled and said, "Don't listen to the third son, I'll send it down after we separate from the camp tonight!" Tomorrow we will begin our pre-war training, so that the brethren below will be mentally prepared. It's up to us to fight a tough battle! ”

Yang Mingming frowned bitterly, a total of more than 500 rear-loading single-shot guns, the requirements of semi-automatic rifles were not met, and the conventional weapons of the 21st century could not be configured until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and his desire to lead the Burmese battalion as the main force was frustrated.

More than half a month passed, and the Burmese traitor battalion had become a well-trained infantry artillery battalion, which formed a powerful infantry artillery position with the small barracks of the Han army, and launched the first offensive against the 10,000 defenders of Donghu Ava (Mandalay).

A total of 5 75 guns and 10 70 guns were used to demonstratively bombard the fortified earth walls, and the weapons that had been decommissioned in later generations were destroyed 300 years ago.

The capital of the Taungoo Dynasty at this time was still in Bagu, and the reason why the Burmese people in Myanmar were more intelligent or advanced in the process of civilization in later generations was because of the result of the Taungoo Dynasty becoming strong after the unification.

At this time, the Taungoo Dynasty had just been unified into a large country, and the country was impoverished by years of war, and it had not even entered the feudal society, and the steps after this move to Ava had been disrupted by the German invasion.

The troops, newly formed by Burmese slave owners, raised white flags shortly after the sound of cannons, but shells were still pouring down on the city walls. Ava will be the new capital of Minyedepa, and the capital will only build a palace city without a castle, and the cannonballs will only help the new king tear down the city walls.

After entering the city of Ava, the new king of Donghu, Min Ye Depa, had his own courtiers, and he had a decent court, and the nearby lords were busy offering food and silver to help the new lord establish a dynasty and build an army.

Since then, Minye Depa has been in a better mood since then, and finally returned to the settlement of the Burmese people, sitting on more than half of the country, and gaining the support of many of his fellow tribesmen, so that he is like the king of the Taungoo Dynasty.

Less than half a month after entering the city, Yang Zhizhi helped the new king of Donghu to collect 200,000 taels of gold and silver, which could become the first debt of the imperial court, which was purely due to the accident of Minye Depa and his courtiers.

Although Minye Depa was very happy, he didn't dare to make the decision, and brought it into the secret room and whispered: "This is the remuneration for the hard work of the third prince these days, it is really not easy at a young age!" ”

Yang Mingzhi said with a wry smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty can't waste money and silver like this, 200,000 is not a small amount, it can put six artillery pieces and 9,000 shells!" Brother Wang has taken care of this matter, and it can only be repaid as a loan from His Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will be kind to your subjects in the future! "Looting the slave owner's belongings was a painful task, but it was a difficult thing to do without robbing others and not giving it, making it very difficult for Minyedepa to give orders to win the war.

Minyedepa listened and said, "Oh, it turned out that His Majesty King De meant, thank you so much. The words of thanks were very sincere, and he didn't know the true value of the two hundred thousand taels of silver before. He said apologetically, "The third prince can't get so much for the remuneration of this king, please ask the third prince to stay in the palace for dinner tonight, so that the king can take care of it for you personally." ”

"This is exempt, but you can use it for drinking!" Yang Zhizhi said softly, "It's inconvenient to drink alcohol in the army, and I hope Your Majesty will entertain you more in the future!" Find a beautiful woman to hide for this son, and your majesty should not mention it to others! "I didn't bring a little beauty with me on this expedition, and it's not convenient to bring it, and more importantly, this body is only thirteen years old, so it's inconvenient to find a woman to accompany me like Akihito and his soldiers.

"Oh, hehe, I didn't expect it!" Minye Depa looked at Yang Zhizhile, a child with no hair has become a drunkard, but it is really inconvenient for outsiders to know. "Okay, arrange it for your brother, and you will accompany the king to eat every night in the future, and there will be a third brother's bedroom in the palace."

Minyedepa suddenly seemed to see a treasure, and his heart turned his mind away, and he said, "There is a way to do the matter of the heir, this little hairy child will not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and it is not clear which ...... the new princess is" (according to the information of the Taungoo Dynasty, Minye Depa had no heirs, he killed Anabilon and became king, and his uncle inherited the throne after his death. Maybe the childlessness has something to do with his father, King Anabilon, who killed his father and became king in order to avenge the murder of his son)

Although Wise is only thirteen years old, he is an adult like those little soldiers, and there are little beauties waiting at home, and it is difficult to tear off this face as a modern person who is addicted to alcohol at this age in the army.

Akihito already has a local fiancΓ©e of the Tusi girl, and his wise career is in the Ming Dynasty, so he is not yet engaged, and as a member of the royal family, the marriage cannot be separated from politics, and the door is actually of great help to the Guangmen court.

Of course, as rulers or emperors, they don't want their courtiers to marry strongly. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the vigorous opposition to old-style marriage also had its political purpose in a sense, and it was related to the fact that most of the people in power came from poor and middle peasants. And how easy it is for young women to be deceived, and the number of women who were ruined in free love during the Republic of China is really not a small number, which opens the door for the literati Yang Ming to play with the female surname.

Yang Zhizhi begged for wine with the new king of Donghu, Min Ye Depa, and naturally had his more important purpose, he wanted to help Burma make the transition from slavery to feudalism. The three brothers are naturally as good at drinking, but Minye Depa is a dou who can't be supported, not to mention the amount of alcohol, and even more reluctant to talk about governing the country with children.

It was only on the third day that Yang Mingzhi, who mentioned the new army of the new king of Donghu, spoke and said, "Your Majesty, you must divide more land among the people, and not concentrate it in the hands of the lords. In this way, the pawns get your dozens of acres of land, and it's no wonder that they don't work for you! ”

Hearing this, Minyedepa felt that there was some truth, thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't they also having food to eat for the lords?" ”

"This is different...... Yang Mingming's Burmese language level is not good enough, and he thought about it and explained: "For example, today His Majesty sent the third brother to 1,000 Hu to collect grain, and only 860 Hu was raised for the minister. If His Majesty tells the third brother that he has raised enough military rations today, and the extra money raised will be donated to the German army, then ......"

"The third brother will definitely be able to complete today's food collection task, right?" Minyedepa thought about it and said, "The third brother's words are very reasonable! Distribute the fields to the people, and they will grow more military rations, and they will not be lazy anymore! Makes sense, makes sense! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, that's the reason!" Yang Mingzhi also breathed a sigh of relief after he explained it, and said: "Brother Wang hopes that His Majesty's state will become strong as soon as possible, so that Germany will have a good example!" ”

"Yes, yes! There are benefits. Give the slaves land, and they will support me! The new king of Donghu needs the support of the people even more, and Minyedepa finally figured it out.

Yang Mingyuan must change the slavery system in Germany, he is a Hakka who wants to win the hearts of the people, but if the Burmese state does not go ahead, it is inconvenient for him to do it, which will make him, the Hakka very isolated.

On the contrary, the situation of the Taungoo Burmese is just the opposite, and the years of territorial expansion war have no benefit to Tusi, and it is more about military service and money and food apportionment, and they have become very disgusted with the war. After this turmoil, they did not want to raise troops again, nor did they have the national strength to continue the war, which exacerbated the internal contradictions, and the people and the Tusi were more willing to choose the road of reconstruction and accept the reform of the feudal system.

The two chatted together, and Minye Depa's words increased, and his heart seemed to be much brighter, and he said: "I didn't expect the third brother to have the ability to govern the country at a young age, it's not simple!" ”

"This is nothing, the little brother just wants to fight Bago as soon as possible, and His Majesty's kingdom can recover as soon as possible!" Yang Mingzhi has spent so many days around the bend, and now he is really embarrassed to be praised by others. In a daze, the advertising office came out and said, "This is really good when it's called everyone's good!" ”

Minyedepa has always been grateful from the bottom of his heart for the support of Germany, which is really for the sake of his seizure of the throne and the dangerous situation of Donghu Burma, and he does not feel the intention of the German king to bully the weak and take advantage of the fire to rob.

After hearing this, he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, everyone's good is good......" I was happy and remembered that I had a son, and I was always a little dissatisfied with the lack of successors.

After a while, he asked, "I wonder when the third brother will go on the expedition?" In Brother Wang's opinion, it is safer for our coalition forces to hold on to Ava City. ”

It is also nerve-wracking to mention these Yang Mingyuan, Donghu is purchasing artillery, training new troops, and counterinsurgency is very strong. When the Tusi of all sizes heard that there were 100,000 troops, they were even more frightened birds, and they all opposed taking the initiative to attack, and building trenches and cities was the best policy.

Minyedepa already has a lot of territory, so it is indeed the best policy to wait for work, no matter how many Hongyi cannons in Donghu are not enough for the range of 75 rifles, the question is how to repay so much overdraft of Minyedepa at that time?
