Chapter 637: Unexpected Shun lì

Why the landing site was chosen here in Mumbai and not in Colombo, which is much closer, is clear. First, this place is closer to India, and if it is said to be an island, it is actually a distance that can be swam through by tying a wooden plank to your body. Secondly, the roads here are easier to walk and it is closer to Delhi, so you can go straight to Delhi as quickly as you need to. This is the same reason as the landing of the British and French troops at Dagukou, of course, the distance here is much farther. Forcing the Mughal Empire to surrender was tantamount to a nail in the west coast of India. If there is an action in the future, you can make things go in.

In such a big country, once or twice is not convinced, it will take a few more times. Therefore, we have to deal with the routine of "I am the Qing Dynasty" with the British, and make it fall little by little, and finally achieve the goal of colonization. As for the idea of including India in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that it is still too far away, and perhaps the descendants will be able to do it in the future.

Staying for a week after landing is not because Chen Xie does not want to advance quickly, but because of the transportation capacity and combat capability of this era, it is necessary to build a defensive line first, leaving a solid bridgehead as the rear, so that Chen Xie can continue to advance. At the same time, it also has the meaning of testing the organizational ability and adaptability of this empire, and even has a deeper meaning, that is, to fight a decisive battle and solve the problem once and for all.

Chen Xie was a little disappointed, for a whole week, there was no news from the former enemy. The great army of the Mughal Empire, it seems, has completely lost its trace. From the small town of Pivendi, the landing field, to the small town of Kerdy at the front, there are even a guerrillas who rob houses along the way. The people of the empire did not even know how to organize some small-scale rebellion. You know, the people in front are all Japanese, they kill, burn and loot. Very hard. Why don't the people of India resist?

People are so cheap, although they have memories in their heads, the third brother's combat effectiveness is very scummy, but the level of this scum, you really don't know what level it is. As a military commander, Chen Xie has always been cautious. Even if the opponent is tofu scum, it must be used as a rock. Moreover, during the current Mughal Empire, according to the records in the history books, India during this period was relatively powerful. As for later. Who knows, you know the general idea of the British colonization of India, and the specific details are not clear. I know that the third brother has produced a "Mahatma", and the non-violent non-cooperation movement was started by him.

There are a lot of confusing things, since it is a large unified empire, there should be a more convenient communication system, in any case, it will not take a week. It's so exaggerated to destroy a local army. I didn't even fight much, it was just a volley of guns. Then the birds and beasts scattered. In the face of the murderous enemy, he actually chose patience and let the robbery of these Japanese soldiers be fruitful. It is said that everyone has made a fortune, and women have not slept less, and these grandsons are here to be cannon fodder, not uncles. Chen Xie was very unhappy.

After all, it was an expedition of laborers, and Chen Xie couldn't afford to lose a battle, so he immediately ordered the troops in front to stop advancing and build a defense on the spot. Wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops. The entire Indian war situation totaled more than 23,000 troops. Among them, there are more than 15,000 Japanese, more than 4,000 Korean soldiers, and the real Ming army is only 4,000 people, and they are all technical troops, Chen Xie really can't rest assured. However, with the existing long-distance navigation capability, it is enough to support the combat of such troops. The main thing is that the Japanese soldiers are easy to feed, and when they are replaced by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie really feels that he can't afford to consume it. And that's not even counting the attrition of the navy.

Before another dusk came, Chen Xie encountered a miraculous thing, the Japanese pioneer team in front sent a team of 50 people, and then captured about 1,000 locals as coachmen, and used more than 100 ox carts to send back a large number of supplies. Mainly rice, as well as all kinds of animals that were driven away, the Japanese soldiers were quite regular, and did not go to kill cattle to eat meat. Because Chen Xie remembers this place in India, cattle are more expensive than people, and it may not be okay to kill people, but it is definitely okay to kill cattle. Therefore, it was repeatedly strictly ordered that when they arrived in India, they were not allowed to kill cattle, so as not to cause desperate resistance from the people.

After Chen Xie learned what happened, he felt that it was amazing, this is more than 1,000 people, and 50 people dare to escort it. I really want to order the wall, and the officer who gave this order, Niu Tojiro, Lao Tzu worked so hard to send you to India to be cannon fodder, do you know that you feel sorry for Lao Tzu's money? Well, no, I don't know how to cherish the lives of soldiers. Ushito Jiro is a captain, and since he is an officer, he is a Japanese who has joined the Xinghai City nationality, and he can no longer treat others as outsiders.

Chen Xie personally wrote a letter asking the soldiers to go back tomorrow morning, but the platoon commander Zi Sanshiro who led the team said that there was a problem with the wood, and we should go back at night. Chen Xie had no choice but to call him over, and looked at the Japanese who was already from Xinghai standing very strictly, and criticized it seriously: "Although this matter is very smooth, I am not happy." Know why? ”

"I don't know, please show my grandfather." Japanese to Japanese, Daming official can speak, but the accent is a little weird. He stood straight, his head elevated, and there was no expression of dissatisfaction at all. It is said that the Japanese are clearly divided from top to bottom, and the nobles kill civilians on the streets in Japan for nothing. It seems that this Japanese soldier still needs to recruit more, it's really useful. Really good value for money!

"When you are in the training class, the instructor must have told you that military operations should be the first and foremost cautious. A qualified officer must not only fight bravely, but also cherish his own life and the lives of his subordinates. Your transport operation seems to be successful, but have you thought about it, you only have a platoon of troops, escorting a team of 1,000 people. If something happens along the way, your little strength will be like a stone washed by a big water, and it will be easily swept away. Of course, there are indeed many receiving points along the way, but can you guarantee that every step you take can guarantee that the receiving troops will arrive in time? This mistake must be corrected and must not be repeated in the future. I must stay tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. I have here a letter that you can bring back to Ushito Jiro and tell him what I said. As an officer, if you don't care about the lives of soldiers, you are not a qualified officer. Go down! ”

After Chen Xie finished speaking very strictly, he found that Zi Sanshiro had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't stop falling down. Damn, what kind of rhythm is this, I just want to simply pretend to be forced.

"Please rest assured, my grandfather, I will keep your teachings in mind." Zisanshiro spoke loudly, and his excited voice trembled.

The next day, he returned to Kerdy and handed the letter to the company commander Ushito Jiro, and after reading the letter, Zisanshiro conveyed Chen Xie's words again. Then, with tears in his eyes, he choked up and said to Sanshiro: "When we were in Japan, our lives were like mustard. No one will care about our life or death, but in Xinghai City, we are human. Our chief loves us, and the great Xinghai Gong loves us. Before going to battle, we will be given the best weapons and equipment, and if we are wounded in battle, we will get the best treatment. After the war death, our parents and brothers will be best cared for. Shiro, please remember that Xinghai Gong Chen Xie is the greatest name for every citizen of Xinghai City. Always remember in our hearts that it was he who gave us the dignity of being human beings and the supreme honor of dying for him. I also ask you to tell every soldier that you should make it clear to everyone, realize your mistakes, and cherish yourself in the future. Please! ”

Zisanshiro was very excited to preach everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers were excited to tears. The Supreme Commander told every soldier and officer at the front to be cautious and take care of their lives. Don't fight battles that you are not sure of, the lives of soldiers come first. When I was in Japan, I couldn't even think of it.

At dinner, the whole camp was full of crying, all those Japanese soldiers were crying and moving!

Afterwards, this cannon fodder unit fought extremely bravely, and often dozens of people chased the third brother and fought thousands of people. Won one victory after another, well, Chen Xie finally miscalculated on this issue, not to the will to fight of these Japanese infantrymen, but to the incompetence of the third brother.

The news spread quickly, and overnight the whole army knew about it. The next day, when Chen Xie went to inspect the various units as usual, he found that the expressions of these cannon fodder, uh, Japanese soldiers, were wrong. All of them were in good spirits and looked at him with tears in their eyes. It seems to look at the God in their minds. Chen Xie really didn't expect this change, and he was not embarrassed to ask his subordinates when he came back.

It took ten days, the entire bridgehead was consolidated, the convoy transporting materials was also prepared (snatched), and the surrounding area was cleared to ensure the communication line.

The cautious Chen Xie left more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in Piwendi to protect the back road. After the order was given, although these remaining soldiers resolutely carried it out, after the main force left, they all wept bitterly, because they could not fight for the god in their hearts, but stayed to protect the logistics. Well, Chen Xie didn't know about this at all.

Advancing to Kerdi, Chen Xie met the commander Li Xingguo in front, who arrived at the town with his subordinates first, and found that the qiē here was no different from the peacetime era. The Indian people have no intention of resisting at all. Chen Xie was also speechless after learning the news, no wonder the British were able to colonize India, it seems that there is a reason for it.

India is a caste country, that is, people are divided into several classes, and then the castes are like a moat between them. Ordinary Indians, in the eyes of the high-caste caste, there is no difference between a wild dog on the side of the road. This caste system, even in modern society, is still alive, don't be curious, it's true.

Asking a group of slaves to fight for a group of noble lords seems a bit too demanding. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
