In the war against Canada, 3 brigades of Japanese mercenaries were dispatched, not counting the Battle of Fort Detroit, a total of 91,877 combat exploits were achieved, and 128 Japanese were killed.

The bodies of all the dead Japanese officers and soldiers have long been burned, and the ashes are put in separate altars and transported back to Japan for burial in the future.

On 5 June, Lieutenant General Su Linxu was entrusted by Chief of General Staff Feng Guohua to convene a meeting of three Japanese mercenary platoon commanders and above.

Lieutenant General Su Linxu began to speak: "Colleagues, standing here today, I am sad and happy, sad that we have lost 128 loyal and brave comrades-in-arms, and happy that we have won 91,877 military exploits at the cost of the sacrifice of 128 comrades-in-arms. ”

"Happy!"

"Hooray!"

"Long live the Great Xia Empire!"

"Great Xia Empire Wansheng!"

Lieutenant General Su Linxu waved his hand, signaled everyone to stop shouting, and continued: "Since you have chosen to be a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the best destination for my generation, I am proud of them, and the empire will not forget their efforts, let alone your efforts." With the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, all combatants will be paid an additional 1 month's salary; The family members of the top 100 military exploits can immigrate to the Kingdom of Lu and enjoy citizen treatment; Those who rank 1st to 500th in combat merit will be rewarded with an additional 2 months' salary each, and those who rank first in combat merit will be rewarded with another 1 month's salary; Those who have achieved war merit will be immediately cashed out at 5 yuan per war merit; The 128 comrades-in-arms who died were each given 12 months' salary as a pension, and their wives, parents and children all immigrated to the Kingdom of Lu and enjoyed the treatment of citizens. “

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Great Xia Empire!"

As soon as Lieutenant General Su Linxu finished reading out the Empire's reward standards, all the Japanese present boiled, and the Empire's reward standards far exceeded their expectations; At the same time, it is also to cheer for their brilliant achievements on the battlefield for the first time.

When the cheers were almost over, Su Linxu pressed it with his hand, the Japanese officer quieted down, and Lieutenant General Su Linxu continued: "Tomorrow, the empire will send Major General Gao Changshui of the General Staff of Lu State to escort the ashes of 128 comrades-in-arms back to their hometown, and at the same time, Major General Gao Changshui is also responsible for taking the families of the top 100 comrades-in-arms and the families of the 128 comrades-in-arms who died to settle in Dulu State; In addition, every officer and soldier can write a personal letter to report to the family members in the country that they are safe, and the empire will send a special person to send the letter to your family members along with the bonus, and if you are willing to write a letter, please write the letter according to the troop establishment, and hand it over to the military department before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" So the Japanese officers replied in unison.

Su Linxu continued: "Now that the empire has formed the First Army of Mercenary Cavalry and the First Army of Mercenary Infantry, I now announce that the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Brigades of the Mercenary Infantry of the Lu State will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the 1st Mercenary Infantry Army from now on, and after resting for 3 days, they will set off for the city of San Antonioni, Texas. “

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The three brigade commanders immediately took a stand.

Now these Japanese soldiers are learning Mandarin very fluently.

Lieutenant General Su Linxu thought to himself, the obedience of these Japanese is really good, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor's idea is right, and in the future, he will increase the recruitment of Japanese mercenaries and form more Japanese mercenary units.

In order to escort these ashes back to Japan, and even to Japan to publicize the achievements of Japanese mercenaries in Canada and the Empire's rewards for those who have made meritorious contributions, Feng Guohua, chief of the General Staff, specially sent a staff officer at the level of major general Gao Changshui back to Japan to be in charge of various affairs.

On the morning of 6 June, officers and soldiers from the three brigades came to bring the ashes of 128 deceased people back to China and held a brief but solemn ceremony.

Many Japanese soldiers whispered below: "Umegawa-kun, how many battle merits have you exchanged this time?" “

"Onodo-kun, I only cut back 16 ears, and I only exchanged 80 yuan, if I cut a few more ears, I will enter the top 1,000 in battle, what a pity."

"Mei Chuanjun, I regret it more than you, I only need 1 ear to enter the top 1000, I really envy these sacrificed comrades-in-arms, their families will immigrate to Lu from now on, and they will definitely live a good life."

"Onodo-kun, I believe we will still have a chance, I heard the platoon commander say yesterday that our brigade has been incorporated into the First Army of the mercenaries, and we will soon go south, and we may have another opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Of course, the empire will not bring these 128 columbarium back to Japan, as for the urn columbarium, the General Staff of Lu State and the Northern Theater Command have already communicated, and Metropolitan Governor Xiao Xuguang arranged for the garrison of the Izu Islands to buy some columbarium, and prepare some dead dogs and rotten cats' corpses to be burned after the ashes are very good, and when the time comes, as long as Major General Gao Changshui arrives, glue the label well. 【】

The governor of Izu Prefecture is Pan Weinian, and the entire Izu Islands are only used for military purposes, and there are no inhabitants living on them. After Pan Weinian received the order, he felt very strange, and after he figured it out, he laughed for several minutes before stopping, using the corpses of dead cats and rotten dogs to make ashes for the Japanese.

Gao Changshui only went to Japan with the list of 128 deceased people, the list of meritorious servicemen, the roster of three brigades, and nearly 30,000 letters, so that he could take a plane and the speed was relatively fast, otherwise it would take nearly two months to reach Japan by ship.

On June 15, Major General Gao Changsheng arrived at the Izu Islands, and was warmly received by the county magistrate Pan Weinian.

Pan Weinian has lived on the island for several years, and he still thinks that the empire has forgotten him, but he didn't expect that the empire arranged work for the first time, and it was so interesting.

According to the order received, Pan Weinian asked the soldiers to move out of the 128 sealed urns, Gao Changshui took out 128 labels, and asked the soldiers to dip all the labels on the ashes, and then moved them to a destroyer, preparing to go to Tokyo tomorrow.

Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan, the governor of the Xia Empire in Japan, and Zhang Wenjin, the ambassador to Japan, had long received orders from the empire that they must cooperate with Gao Changshui's tricks, and they had been waiting in Tokyo for a long time.

Early in the morning of June 16, Gao Changshui took a destroyer from Izu Prefecture and set off for Tokyo.

At 9 o'clock, the destroyer arrived at the Tokyo Bay Wharf, Vice Admiral Xiao Honglan, Ambassador Zhang Wenjin, and many high-ranking Japanese officials came to welcome the ashes of the Japanese mercenaries to return home, and tens of thousands of Japanese spectators on the wharf witnessed the grand handover ceremony of ashes.

Major General Gao Changshui delivered a brief speech on the dock, praising the Japanese mercenaries for their bravery in battle, and achieved 91,877 combat exploits at the cost of 128 people in the war against Canada; At the same time, the empire's rewards for officers and soldiers participating in the war and meritorious officers and soldiers, as well as the pension methods for the victims, were announced.

The Japanese audience heard that there would be such a rich reward, and the continuous cheers interrupted Gao Changshui's speech several times.

Under Zhang Wenjin's activities, major Japanese newspapers continued to report on the affairs of Japanese mercenaries, mainly because of their outstanding military achievements, generous treatment, no worries about the sacrifices, and the empire did not hesitate to reward those who had made war achievements.

Lieutenant General Xiao Honglan even sent 100 squads, led by the squad leader, to various parts of Japan with the ashes of the deceased, letters, and imperial banknotes, and sent money and letters according to the list, and took the families of those who had military exploits and died to Tokyo, and then went to Lu by boat.

The 30,000 families are widely distributed in Japan, and under the conscious promotion, the sensational effect is very large, and the whole of Japan is a sensation.

Moreover, this is the first time that Japanese mercenaries have participated in a large-scale war, and they have achieved such impressive results and sacrificed so few people, which shows that the Xia Empire did not use Japanese mercenaries as cannon fodder.

The Japanese are generally envious of families with letters and rewards, and at the same time very much hope that they will be selected as mercenaries recruited by the Xia Empire next time.

Japanese people are generally jealous of immigrant families, so why didn't this kind of good thing come to my door? For the dead, they were filtered out by all the Japanese, the Xia Empire took care of the dead so well, if one died, in exchange for the happiness of the whole family, most of the Japanese would still be able to accept it happily, which was much better than joining the army in Japan, so many people died in the Russo-Japanese War, and the Japanese government did not treat the families of the victims like this.

According to Zhang Wei's request, each army should be equipped with one brigade of Japanese mercenaries, and at the same time, he ordered Xiao Xuguang to recruit at least 20 more brigades of mercenaries as reserves, and began to train them in cold resistance, which was to prepare for the developed war against Russia.

If Governor Xiao Xuguang had completed Zhang Wei's order, the empire would have reached a total of 80 brigades of Japanese mercenaries.

In conjunction with the propaganda of Japanese newspapers and the show of the empire, an upsurge of mercenaries was set off in Japan.

If you join the mercenary army, the whole family can solve the problem of food and clothing, and the family will no longer have to go hungry and live without clothing.

If you can make military achievements, your family can live a relatively prosperous life.

If you are unfortunate enough to die or make great achievements, you will be exchanged for the whole family to immigrate to the Xia Empire and enjoy citizen treatment, and the family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they will be able to get rid of the bitter sea of Japan.

None of the families that had died were sad, all happy, with happy smiles on their faces; The neighbors were happy for them, and their hearts were full of envy.

Those families who get the bonus are also very happy, but they are not as excited as immigrant families, they still need to wait patiently, maybe their son will be able to make a great contribution next time, and the whole family can emigrate.

Those families who do not have family members to join the mercenary army have only envy and jealousy left in their hearts.

This time, Governor Xiao Xuguang did not fully accept Zhang Wei's order, and he added a clause to the conscription requirements that he must be proficient in Chinese listening and speaking, and it would be better if he had Chinese reading and writing skills.

As for other standards, they cannot be lowered, and as many mercenaries can be recruited.

In recent years, the Chinese language has been vigorously promoted in Xinzhou and Ezo provinces, and the results have been impressive, making these two places the main sources of mercenaries.

When the Japanese people got the news that the Xia Empire was going to recruit 200,000 mercenaries, no one could understand the excitement in their hearts, but the recruitment rules made most people lose their qualifications for physical examination.

Xiao Xuguang's purpose in doing this was not to reduce the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries, if these soldiers could master fluent Chinese, they could be mixed in the absence of officers, and because of the same training mode and normal language exchanges, the mixed formation would not reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Xiao Xuguang also has another purpose in doing this, that is, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, after all, Xinzhou Province and Ezo Province are the territory of the empire, and it is better to benefit the people in these two regions than to benefit the Japanese in Honshu and Shikoku, and Xinzhou Province and Ezo Province were also excellent sources of soldiers in Japan in the past, even if the two places could not recruit 200,000 troops, it was still very easy to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and more soldiers grew up every year.

Xiao Xuguang's order not only disappointed the Japanese, but also set off an upsurge in learning Chinese in Japan, which was really an unexpected joy.

Although there are not many mercenaries recruited in this state, the mercenaries' good treatment is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the propaganda is not useless, but slowly effective, otherwise there would not be such a hot Chinese learning boom, and when this group of Japanese children who learn Chinese grow up, they are a group of good cannon fodder, and they are just used to participate in the war of blockade of Europe.
