Chapter 358: The Great Man of the Imperial Kingdom

Hitter could have 'seen' a picture: at the time of departure, the units formed at the regimental level were obstructed, blocked, and divided by plantations, hills, and rainforests, and became units at the battalion level, then into units at the company level, and finally into units with individual soldiers......

The lazy, unmotivated native soldiers of the march will be the first to become chaotic, countless people will run away from the ranks, and they will fight and even shoot each other over the road, which will completely confuse the already complicated situation!

By the time such a group of people returned from the mountains and rainforests to the plains and roads, their fighting power had weakened to the point that even the militia was far inferior. If a large number of Chinese troops pursue, then the whole army will be defeated and completely collapsed. It is possible that he will die in battle, and he may become another white European general who has been captured by the Chinese......

Kuyt became the object of more than a dozen pairs of eyes. The crowd awaited his decision. It was to launch another attack on the town of Rab. Still is...... Continue on the path that seems to be 'death'.

"The original order remains unchanged. The troops are ready for action. ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Execute the order!"

Kuyt stood up, his eyes piercing over the faces of Hitter and a group of high-ranking Dutch and Indian officers. "Colonel Oronnier will meet us on the other side. The soldiers under him, plus the soldiers left behind by Colonel Robben. For the glory of the Queen. For the dignity of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, we will fight to the end. I think we should also believe and trust them! ”

"Get ready for action!" With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen colonels and lieutenant colonels in the command headquarters came out one after another. Hitter took one last look at Kuyt, "Commander, I will pray to God that your choice is not wrong. ”

Hitter, who strode out of the headquarters, was heavy in his heart. His chest was so depressed that he could barely breathe, and he wanted to yell at the blue sky. But as a Dutch army general. He must maintain his dignity.

In the headquarters, Kuyt's adjutant brought a cup of coffee and handed it to the lieutenant general. "Your Excellency, you can rest for a while. I'll wake you up in an hour. Then pack up the headquarters, and in two hours, everyone is expected to leave the place. ”

Hopefully, the news of the 'turn in' will make those filthy natives move faster! Two hours ......, the adjutant passed this time again in his heart, and it seemed that the troops could set off.

"No, I don't." Kuyt took his coffee and said to the adjutant, "Go and have a look in the barracks." When that part was slow, it warned them with a whip. Keep an eye on Lieutenant Colonel De Vriley, I'm going to hear his plan of action for half an hour. ”

……

The second Dutch-Indian army's campaign against Lanfang's territory ended with a great defeat at Commander Kuyt. 13,000 Dutch-Indian troops. In less than half a month of fighting, the Dutch and Indian troops lost more than 7,000 men. A large number of indigenous soldiers scattered and fled during the retreat, but in the end, they were eventually captured by the Chinese army and sent to the public mines of Lanfang.

Fifteen officers of the first class of the Dutch-Indian military academy were killed. Among them were two colonels. Twelve wounded, one colonel. The losses of the white soldiers were more than a thousand. In the assault on Rab and finally in the blocking battle of Oronnier, as well as in the attack and defense of Rab Town. It was the main source of losses for white soldiers.

Thirty-seven artillery pieces were captured by the Chinese army. The quartermaster of the Dutch and Indian Army, Lieutenant Colonel De Vrij, believed that the town of Rab was the territory of Sarawak, the territory of the British, and that the Chinese army could not occupy it for too long. He only needs to bury the artillery, and wait until the Chinese army retreats and then come back and dig it out, and the cannon is still a Dutch cannon.

It's a pity that the Dutch artillerymen were too lazy, or rather, in a hurry to run away, and timid. The artillery brought in a group of indigenous soldiers as coolies, and dug pits to bury all the cannons. As a result, among the natives and even among the artillery, some were captured by prisoners in the final retreat, and the location was of course unabashedly open in front of the Chinese army. This is simply a gift from God, and Wei Changjun deserves to take all thirty-seven cannons.

The artillery of the entire Dutch and Indian army, except for a small group that could not be removed from the position of blocking the main force of the Chinese army, was blown up, and the rest fell into the hands of the Lanfang Chinese army, which lacked heavy firepower.

The Dutch and Indian armies failed to interfere for the second time, but was this their last interference? Everyone is still unknown. The new leadership of Lan Fang itself has only endless joy, and the Dutch and Indian colonial authorities, and even the Netherlands after the news reached Europe, are all in mourning and full of chicken feathers.

Finally, there is the impact of this event in the South Seas, in East Asia, in South Asia itself.

The Chinese, the Vietnamese, the Siam, the Burmese, and even the Qing Dynasty, Japan, Korea, it was all rejoicing. A group of Lan Fang's rabble, with a little training, equipped with advanced armaments, and lacking artillery power, can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the Netherlands twice, then the yellow race will definitely be able to fight. This is so representative! More representative than Qin Jun and Liu Xian.

Because of the deeds of Liu Xian and his Qin army, it is very special.

The yellow race defeated the whites, and Liu Xian stepped on the great powers twice before and after. However, the military talent displayed by Liu Xian in these two battles was more dazzling than the combat effectiveness of the Qin army itself, which made people unable to open their eyes. In the eyes of many outsiders, the Qin army was able to defeat the Russians and the French, and Liu Xian himself had to take up a large part of the credit. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of many people, if there is no Liu Xian, whether the Qin army can continue to fight or not, it is up to two words! This is a typical 'famous general' effect, just like the Song army without Yue Fei in Chinese history. The Yuejia army won one battle after another, which in itself could not represent the level of the Song army, so it could not raise the Song army to the point that the Qin army, the Han army, and the Tang army were heroic and heroic, and the world recognized it.

Without King Yue's Yue family's army, there would be no victory in a hundred battles, just like the Qin army without Liu Xian. 、

In the eyes of some extremists, the yellow race could not beat the whites, and Liu Xianam's victory was only a testament to his personal military talent, but not broad representation.

Such arguments are very common in the Western world, and there is also a large market in East Asian countries.

So you can imagine that Lan Fang's territory defeated the Dutch twice, outnumbered and defeated. How far-reaching and sensational that impact is.

This directly overturns the original argument. Lan Fang's battle was not personally commanded by Liu Xian. He's just laying it out in the back. The formation of Lan Fanghua's army is also recognized as hasty and undertrained, and the only pity is that the will to fight is relatively tenacious and fierce. Many countries in East Asia can have such conditions!

This is too broadly representative.

Because of this incident, Ta Kung Pao made a name for himself on Japanese soil for the first time. Those Japanese who came to China to trade bought newspapers and brought them back to Japan, and for a time they could attract Luoyang paper to be expensive. Ta Kung Pao also caught the eyes of the Japanese.

"Your Excellency, we have sent people to apply for Ta Kung Pao reporters, and three of the seven have succeeded."

"Yoxi, this is good news to celebrate!"

"And we will also try our best to get in direct contact with Ta Kung Pao's top management. With the current influence of Ta Kung Pao, if it can praise Marquis Liu toweringly, it will definitely arouse the greatest suspicion and vigilance of the Manchu imperial family! ”

"You don't have to step down to kill someone, you can also hold it up high. The higher you hold, the harder you fall! ”

"Hey!" A Japanese man dressed completely Westernized respectfully bowed to Okubo Ritsu, who was sitting in front of him. "Your Excellency, we are already planning to approach Marquis Liu, and are ready to seek to meet Marquis Liu as a Chinese who grew up in the United States, and it is best to stay by Marquis Liu's side and become his staff."

"The candidate is ready, here is his picture. Please take a look! ”

"Yo Xi. The great man of the imperial kingdom, he is the hero of the imperial kingdom. Be fully prepared! The blood of the imperial elite is extremely precious. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured. Able to speak native Qingguo Shandong dialect and American English, he spent three years in San Francisco, was familiar with the city's slang and knew the slang of Shandong, and the scenery and people in the surrounding area of Yantai. Please rest assured! ”

"Yo Xi, that's good. I am very pleased with the progress of your work. Mitsui-kun, go back to Sue SΓΉTakahashi-kun and thank him for his efforts for the Imperial Kingdom......"

"Hey! His Excellency the Secretary of the Interior has recognized our work as the best compliment. ”

Mitsui was thrilled by Okubo's appreciation. The current Meiji Emperor has not yet been deified during the First Sino-Japanese War. In the eyes of today's Japanese elite, Okubo Ritsu's prestige is stronger than that of Emperor Meiji.

March 13, Pontianak.

The British are looking for the dignity of the British Empire with the Lanfang authorities. During the war, the loss of property and personnel in Sarawak, and the many white residents of Sarawak who were taken captive by Yang Liu's detachment, were taken out to discuss the issue of Dutch prisoners of war. Three Chinese with a large braid on the back of their heads disembarked and boarded the dock.

Each of the three men carried a rattan box containing only simple clothes. and the cost of activities per person. They are expatriate correspondents for the Universal Gazette. Sheng Xuanhuai believes that in the short term, Lanfang is a land of right and wrong, and there is big news to dig up...... (To be continued......)
