Chapter 171: Lan Fang's new layout

After receiving the news that the Japanese army had contracted the front and concentrated its forces and wanted to confront the Lanfang Kingdom, Zhang Wei immediately telegraphed Du Shihui to bring the 21st and 24th Divisions to support the Korean battlefield, first to immediately occupy the port of Pusan and reduce the destruction of the Japanese; In addition, it is also to let the outside world know the transfer of troops from the Lanfang Kingdom, otherwise every time the Lanfang Kingdom occupies a place, a new number of troops will suddenly appear, which is easy to make the outside world suspicious; At the same time, the mercenaries of the 5 regiments of the newly arrived also went to the port of Busan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Pressed the Japanese army from both the north and the south, so that it could accelerate the concentration of forces towards Seoul.

The Japanese 73rd Wing also received an order to retreat, but they had no choice but to retreat to the eastern mountains, and then cross the Yalu River from Changbai Mountain to Shengjing.

After receiving information about Hua Guoqiang's change in attitude towards various countries, he was finally relieved, and first arranged for 2 battleships and 2 battlecruisers to return to Beijing to protect the rear.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Lanfang Kingdom negotiated with the Russian Empire's ambassador in Shangjing that the Lanfang Kingdom would not affect the interests of the Russian Empire in the Northeast, and the Lanfang Kingdom would only receive the rights and interests of the Japanese army in the Northeast.

Britain, France, and the United States did not force the Lanfang Kingdom to stop the war and accept mediation.

Zhang Wei was very satisfied with the attitude of the Russian Empire's foreign strength and middle cadres, so he let them be happy for a few days, and then find an opportunity to clean up Russia after cleaning up Japan, so he first let the 31st and 27th divisions approach Shengjing, forcing the Japanese army to accelerate the withdrawal from the north, and after the Japanese army retreated, he went to accept the Japanese assets in Jilin Province and northern Liaoning, the 31st Division was stationed in Liaoning, and the 27th Division was stationed in Jilin.

The new occupation of Pyongyang allowed Governor Yuan Tiandeok to take office in Pyongyang, and the governor's office was temporarily located in Pyongyang; After Du Shihui arrived in Busan, he handed over his troops to Chen Dezhi and asked Chen Dezhi to set up the Northern Theater Headquarters in Busan first; Du Shihui went to the northeast to lead the 31st and 27th Divisions, and served as the chief of staff of the Northeast Theater, under the control of Chen Dezhi.

In this way, in Korea there are 4 regular divisions, 2 militia divisions and 5 regiments of mercenaries; In the north-east there are 2 regular divisions and 2 militia divisions.

Zhang Wei also ordered Yuan Tiande and Zhang Dezhi to organize 10 regiments of Korean mercenaries each, mainly Han Chinese living in Korea, supplemented by Koreans.

Now under the rule of Japan, life in North Korea is very hard, the salary provided by the Lanfang Kingdom to everyone, at least to ensure that every family will not go hungry again, if the training is qualified, the treatment will be doubled, and the mercenaries in other regions will be on par, then their families will be the first to benefit from North Korea, in order to protect their own interests, these people will be with the Lanfang Kingdom in the future, and among these mercenaries are still mainly Han people, so Zhang Wei is very relieved.

After the recruitment order was issued, the number of applicants in each place far exceeded the estimate, and the recruiters had to be the best of the best, and the selected ones could immediately receive 2 months' salary, subsidize family life first, and immediately issued a Beiyang military uniform.

The people who were selected changed the fate of the family, and they were extremely happy, and the people who were not selected were remorseful and had to continue to live that hard life. Seeing the painful state of the unsuccessful candidates, the selected people secretly made up their minds that they must train hard and be obedient, and if they are driven home, they will not only be embarrassed, but also continue to live a hard life.

At the same time, the selection personnel also announced that if they want to join the army or politics in the future, they must learn Chinese, which also drives everyone's enthusiasm for learning Chinese.

The Lanfang Kingdom's policy in Korea touched the interests of the landlords and other personnel, and they did not dare to blatantly oppose the army of the Lanfang Kingdom, so they could only make some small moves in secret. These Zhang Wei and others had long anticipated this, and immediately implemented the strategy proposed by Li Minmin at the beginning, asking all the Korean people to start reporting those who had contacts with the Japanese, and the whistleblowers would immediately receive 300 catties of food.

Anyway, Zhang Wei is looking for an excuse to arrest people, so he asks them to report to each other, and he does not verify the truth, as long as he is reported, he will be immediately arrested and sent to Nanyang to work, especially the landlord's family, who will offend people more or less and become the first batch of targets to be reported. Since only the first whistleblower is rewarded, and there is no reward for later whistleblowing, this increases the speed at which North Koreans report. Zhang Wei and others were happy to see this situation, but each household took out 300 catties of grain, and they were not only able to arrest these landlords to do free labor, but also seized property and land were worth a lot of money, and more importantly, after eliminating the landlord class, it was very conducive to their own rule, killing multiple birds with one stone.

And the whistleblower, Zhang Wei did not forget their merits, not only gave them food, but also gave them part of the land, and some even arranged for them to go to work in the town office, completely tied these people to their chariots, and made them completely one mind with themselves.

For the troops in the Qing Dynasty, they gradually advanced towards Shengjing, but the speed was not very fast, in order to give the Japanese a sense of oppression, and speed up their migration to Lushun, anyway, now there are not many Han people in Lushun after the last Japanese massacre, and after they all arrive in Lushun, they will tie up the mouth and completely block them in Lushun.

With Dandong as its base, the Lanfang army gradually expanded to the surrounding areas, and did not establish political power in the newly occupied areas, but only temporarily administered the military. Advancing north along the Anbong Railway, gradually taking over the railway stations, the Japanese army carried out the damage, but it was not serious, and it could be used with a slight repair; To the west, it has advanced to Zhuanghe, and the Japanese troops originally stationed there have withdrawn to Lushun.

Zhang Wei's request for the troops was to besiege Seoul and Lushun without attacking them, and as for when to start the attack, it was to be decided according to the development of the situation in the Qing Dynasty and Korea.

In the newly occupied areas, the Lanfang Kingdom still took out a large amount of grain to provide relief and buy people's hearts; Measures such as hiring workers to build roads and hiring logistics personnel have expanded employment and increased residents' incomes.

The Queen Mother, Yuan Shikai and others still welcomed the Lanfang Kingdom into the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, and the other personnel did not dare to object, after all, the army of the Lanfang Kingdom was here to fight the Japanese, and whoever dared to oppose it at this time would be labeled as a traitor.

Ambassador Wu Wenbin informed the Qing government that it would quickly accept the Japanese concessions in Tianjin, Wuhan, Shanghai, and other areas, and seize the assets of the Japanese.

He also told Yuan Shikai that he would station two towns in the northeast, one town in Liaoning and one town in Jilin, and at the same time let him step up activities and take down the two official positions of frontier administrative officer and frontier general.

With the help of Wu Wenbin, Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, was transferred back to Beijing, Xu Shichang served as the frontier administrative officer, Duan Qirui took the 4th town to Shengjing as the frontier general, and the 6th town was stationed in Changchun and accepted Duan Qirui's moderation.

After Xu Shichang arrived in Northeast China, he planned to gradually accept the assets of the Japanese, rectify the rule of officials, provide relief to the refugees and the poor, revitalize education, and develop industry.

After Duan Qirui arrived in the Northeast, he planned to recruit troops first, expand the 2 towns into 4 towns according to the requirements of the Lanfang Kingdom, and open an army academy in the Northeast to train grassroots officers. (To be continued.) )
