It is possible to ask for reinforcements, but the expenses need to be paid by the countries that seek help, and such a reply hurts Annam and Vietnam very much. However, Siam, which has in-laws with the two countries, has a strong enemy and can only provide limited reinforcements, and the other in-laws, Chenla, is actually in a divided situation, and the Wang army does not dare to leave the capital lightly, so after thinking about it, he can only accept the blackmail of Huaxia. However, in a certain way, Huaxia was willing to send troops and only wanted to make up for the economic losses caused by the troops, and did not intend to take the opportunity to occupy the western territories of the two countries, which also made the high-level leaders of the two countries who were suffering from gains and losses at the beginning of the request for help secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Under the premise of the guarantee of the Chinese imperial court, Sihai Qianzhuang and Tonghai Qianzhuang took the lead in organizing 21 money banks in Huaxia to provide a huge loan of 2 million yuan and 6.5% per annum to Annam and Vietnam, and Annam and Vietnam repaid the above money within 20 years with the tariffs and salt taxes of the two countries and the income from the Chongqing manganese ore and Shixi iron ore. It was also agreed that during the repayment period, the Huaxia Imperial Court would send officials to supervise the operation of the two countries' household departments, salt and iron divisions, and customs offices.
While the three parties were bargaining over the specific details of the loan agreement, the various units of the Shence Army from Haidong, Xiboni, Nanboni, Lingyamen and other places arrived in Cam Ranh Province one after another.
On the seventh day of the third month of the 18th year of Wucheng, the news of the signing of the "Qiongzhou Loan Agreement" reached Cam Ranh, and the various units of the Shence Army, which had sharpened their swords, rushed to Zhongliao and Xialiao with murderous vigor under the transportation of the Mekong River Inland River Water Division -- four days later, eight regiments of the Left Route Army of the Shence Army entered Xialiao along both banks of the Gong River; On 16 March, 22 regiments of the Central Route Army appeared in three routes between the Binfei River, the Binhan River, and the Wabi River; On 21 March, the 12 regiments of the Shence Army, which had arrived in the Zhongliao area against the current, also began to clear out the Lao Fu ** armed forces with the support of the local Annan Army.
With the main composition of the force is the Japanese who don't want to go back to their hometown to live a hard life after eating rice and salted fish side dishes, the 30,000 Shence army is the main force to deal with the Liao Fu ** who are less than hundreds, more than a thousand and have no strict control over each other, it seems to be a successful scene, but Zheng Kezhang and the Huaxia ministers in Wuchang City did not realize that the trouble had just begun - there was no unified core of the Lao rebel army in the frontal battle really could not defeat the Shence army, However, the plateau terrain of Laos, the many mountain systems and many primeval jungles during the period of Laos gave the people of Laos a long-term insistence on the guarantee, so that soon after the Shence army entered, there was a tendency to fall into the quagmire and not be able to pull out their feet.
Fortunately, the Xia army was not alone in going deep into the unfamiliar Zhongxialiao region, and in order to cooperate with the Xia army, Annam and Vietnam, who had recovered with the help of the Shence army, carried out a merciless massacre of the Lao people and other ethnic minorities who rebelled together with amazing brutality, and the bloodshed does not need to be repeated one by one.
The same massacre of the Annam and Vietnamese frightened a considerable part of the old Lao aristocracy, so under the mediation of some Lao Tusi in Beiliao Province, these weak betrayed the Lao Restoration Movement and fought back, leading the Xia Army and the two ** teams of Annam and Vietnam to suppress their compatriots and comrades-in-arms. In this way, under the betrayal of the traitors and the strong suppression of the Three Kingdoms, the recovery of the Lao State failed one after another - on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the 18th year of Wucheng, Wenna died in battle on the bank of the Nantong River, marking that the Lao Restoration Movement fell into a trough in an all-round way, and only a small number of Lao armed forces continued to hold out in the deep mountains and old forests??????
The war in Laos was still ongoing, and the Huaxia Imperial Court finally made a decision on the restructuring of the naval division - according to the joint establishment of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, Zheng Kezhang ordered the formal abolition of the oversized naval division level, and the existing six major naval divisions were reorganized into eleven fleets, which were listed in numbers, and the sea areas they were responsible for were as follows:
The First Fleet is responsible for the northern part of the west coast of Fuso and the waters of the Baleen (Aleutian) Islands, and has jurisdiction over Fuso Xintugang Zhenshou Mansion and two cruiser squadrons, two cruiser squadrons, four military transport ship squadrons, and four letter ship squadrons.
The Second Fleet is responsible for patrolling the waters between the Whale Sea, the Kuna Sea and the Izu Islands east of the Izu Islands and the Whale Baleen Islands, and has jurisdiction over six towns and garrisons, including Wokowan, Yisaki, Miaotun, Okhotsk, Ishikagawa Port, and Kushiro Port, as well as ten squadrons of patrol ships, six squadrons of military transport ships, and six squadrons of letter ships.
The Third Fleet is responsible for guarding the Liaohai, Huangshuiyang, the west coast of Korea, the vicinity of Jixian, the Tsushima Strait, the Guanmen Strait and other sea areas, and has four town guard offices in Dagu, Lushun, Jiaoao, and Seogwipo, four cruiser squadrons, four cruiser squadrons, five military transport ship squadrons, and three letter ship squadrons.
The Fourth Fleet is responsible for the patrol missions of the East Ocean, the Zhejiang Sea, and the west coast of Kyushu Island, as well as the arch guard of the Yangtze River estuary, and has four town guard houses in Daqushan, Songchong, Yuhuan, and Sanduao, four cruiser squadrons, four cruiser squadrons, six military transport ship squadrons, and three letter ship squadrons.
The Fifth Fleet is responsible for cruising the east coast of Japan west of the Fujian Sea, the Taiwan Strait, the Ryukyus, and the Izu Islands, and has five town guard prefectures in Keelung, Haitan, Kaohsiung, Nanao, and Ryukyu, four cruiser squadrons, four cruiser squadrons, four military transport ship squadrons, and three letter ship squadrons.
The Sixth Fleet is responsible for patrolling the waters around the Yuehai and Qionghai Seas and the Xisha Islands, Dongsha Islands, and Zhongsha Islands, and has four squadrons of cruisers, three squadrons of cruisers, four squadrons of military transport ships, and three squadrons of letter ships under its jurisdiction including Xiangshanao, Baisha, Qinzhou Bay, and Anyou Port.
The Seventh Fleet is responsible for cruising and deterring from Annam, Vietnam, the waters off Cam Ranh and the Gulf of Siam to the north coast of the Malay Peninsula, and has four towns and six patrol squadrons, four squadrons of military transport ships and three squadrons of letter ships in Cam Ranh, Cardamom (Kampong Son) Port, Phu Quoc Island, and Songkhla Port.
The Eighth Fleet is responsible for the exploration of the Zhongsha Islands, Nansha Islands, the northern waters of Borneo, the Luzon Seas, the Sulu Seas, and the eastern Pacific Islands.
The Ninth Fleet is responsible for patrolling the eastern waters of the East Indies and the waters around Abbot and exploring the island area east of Yizhou, and has jurisdiction over seven towns, including Ambon, Manado, Balikpapan, Yizhou Port, Fangzhang South Port, Fangzhang East Port, and Fangzhang West Port, as well as 12 squadrons of patrol ships, 11 squadrons of military transport ships and 7 squadrons of letter ships;
The 10th Fleet is responsible for the suppression and patrol of the eastern waters of the East Indies, the Strait of Malacca, and the southern waters of Sumatra, and has seven squadrons of cruisers, six squadrons of cruisers, 11 squadrons of cruisers, nine squadrons of military transport ships, and six squadrons of letter ships in Lingyamen, Phuket, Penang, Coconut City (Batavia), Surabaya, Mazen, and Pontianak.
The 11th Fleet is responsible for patrolling the waters of the East Tianzhu Ocean and exploring the coasts of East Africa and the Arabian coast, and has five town guards in southern Burma, Chittagong, East Tianzhu, Jaffna, and Malé, as well as four cruiser squadrons, five cruiser squadrons, five military transport ship squadrons, and six letter ship squadrons.
In addition to the huge changes in the fleet, another significant change in the reorganization of the naval division is the solidification of the size of the squadron: generally speaking, the cruiser squadron and the cruiser squadron are composed of two capital warships and a second-class letter ship; The Lettership Squadron has two first-class lettership under its own control; The military transport ship squadron has a unique organization according to the size of the load of the military transport under its jurisdiction, usually each squadron has jurisdiction over one 30,000-material giant military transport ship and one 20,000-material large military transport ship or has jurisdiction over two 25,000-material heavy military transport ships.
The reason why the establishment of the squadron was solidified was to facilitate the formation of a sub-fleet of appropriate size at the fleet level according to the operational needs of different intensities, so from this point of view, the sub-fleet became a temporary establishment; As for the town guard offices, they can be regarded as permanent port fleets, and according to the size of the town guard offices, each town guard office has a number of patrol ships, letter ships, and military transport ship squadrons, but the original miscellaneous ships will be replaced by unified third-class patrol ships, third-class letter ships, 15,000 medium military transport ships, 10,000 light military transport ships, and 5,000 small offshore transport ships.
In view of the huge number of personnel in the Huaxia Naval Division, the reorganization will be a long process, and by the time the entire reorganization plan is completed, the Huaxia Naval Division will have 56 cruisers of the first to fourth class with more than 54 guns, 140 cruisers of the first to second class with more than 40 guns, and more than 400 auxiliary ships below the third class cruiser, which is almost equivalent to the combined navies of Britain, France, and the Netherlands at this time. In addition, similar to the policy of relocation and relocation of defense implemented by the 6th Division, a large-scale change of guard will also be carried out between the squadrons of the Navy Division every three years, but due to the small size of the ships equipped by the squadrons under the name of each town guard, the change of defense will only be carried out between the town guard and the town guard, and between the foreign fleet and the foreign fleet, and the personnel exchange is not limited to the concept of three years.
Since the Huaxia Naval Division not only included the foreign naval division, the inland naval division was also reorganized - the Yangtze River Inland Naval Division was split into the Jingjiang Fleet, which was responsible for Dongting Lake and the upper reaches of Wuchang, the Hukou Fleet, which was responsible for Poyang Lake and the Ganjiang River Basin, and the Liangjiang Fleet, which was responsible for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River; The Heilongjiang River Inland River Fleet was also split into the Ussuri River Fleet, the Songhua River and Niuman River Fleet, and the Upper Heilongjiang River Fleet -- plus the original Pearl River Inland River Fleet and the Mekong River Fleet, and the River Inland Water Division was also divided into eight fleets.
After the inland and foreign naval divisions were reorganized into a fleet, the Longxiang Army, which cooperated with the operation, was also expanded from the original eight divisions to 19 divisions at once, and then while the number of troops increased, the number of soldiers in a single division was reduced to 6,000 men per division according to the establishment of the cavalry army and the horse infantry army, so as to adapt to more flexible scheduling.
The reorganization of the sailor is very large, but it is not the most important part of this sailor restructuring. In order to better implement the national policy of advancing by sea in China and to exercise effective command in accordance with the different characteristics of the 6th Marine Army, Zheng Kezhang divided the Privy Council into two without changing the system of a single military department, and set up the Northern Privy Council, which was responsible for commanding the 6th Division, and the Southern Privy Council, which was responsible for commanding the Naval Division. Ma Ying got her wish and became the Privy Council Envoy of Rennan, and the former Privy Envoy Jin Yanzhi also replaced Yin Mintong as the Privy Councillor of Renbei. After the establishment of the Southern Privy Council, in order to strengthen the voice of the sailors, Zheng Kezhang also changed the original plan to merge the Mongolian Righteous Army into the Shence Army, stipulating that the Shence Army was a force specializing in fighting in the southern capitals, and it was under the unified dispatch of the Southern Privy Council like the Longxiang Army and the Fubo Army??????
