Chapter 440: The Korean Puppet Army
The king surnamed Li of the Korean Kingdom was not imprisoned for too long, after all, the Korean Peninsula has not yet been pacified, and the Korean people's views on the Han army are more about the identity of the invaders, not to mention any sense of identity, and it is already considered the might of the Han army to be suppressed and not to rebel......
Of course, the fact that the North Korean people are so peaceful is inseparable from the full cooperation of the royal family surnamed Lee!
In addition to the assassination on the street in the capital of Seoul, the North Korean royal family can be regarded as having a head of '', even if Xue Ziwu and the upper class of North Korea know that this assassination was only planned by a group of pro-war elites who fled the capital, but even if the North Korean king is held accountable for his 'security', it is enough for them to drink a pot!
The front opened the door to welcome Xue Ziwu, and there was an assassination on the street behind him, and even grenades were used.
What a bad impact!
In order to reduce the scourge of this basin as much as possible, the Korean royal family had to redouble its efforts to express its loyalty to Xue Ziwu with practical actions!
Not only was the 'armistice' of the entire Korean Kingdom sent to the areas that had not yet been occupied by the Han army, but the Korean royal family also used its own name to cooperate with the Han army to transform and form a large number of Han puppet army troops!
Almost all of them were made up of Praetorian Guards loyal to the Joseon royal family!
The Korean kingdom's claim to the outside world is that it has voluntarily become a vassal state of the Han Empire, which is just to appease the Korean people, whether it is Xue Ziwu or the Korean royal family, it is very clear that as long as the Han army takes root on the Korean Peninsula and consolidates its own ruling foundation for a few years, it is a matter of time before the vassal state of Korea merges with the Han Empire!
Naturally, the North Korean royal family only seeks wealth and nobility, but can't ask for power, and it is very well-behaved to hand over the military power and most of the administrative power.
The transfer of power was very smooth, and the Korean puppet army, which was transformed and expanded from the Korean Janissaries, officially became a powerful helper of the Han army's rule over the Korean Peninsula!
Under the leadership of the official institutions of the Joseon royal family, many of the stragglers who were scattered and fled rejoined the team and became loyal lackeys of the Han army......
Even, in order to save costs, the Han army did not even change the military uniforms of the Korean puppet army, and wore all kinds of Korean soldiers' uniforms from the past......
On his head, he wears a North Korean version of a hat......
The weapons in his hand are also the shotguns, broadswords, spears and shields originally used by the North Korean army......
Oh, by the way, and a small number of bayonet flintlock pistols captured on the battlefield, anyway, this thing is no different from a burning stick to the Han army, and it was simply handed over to the loyal Korean puppet army!
The Korean puppet army, with the Korean Janissaries as the main body, has seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army with his own eyes, and he can't afford to resist the Han army in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition, Xue Ziwu's attitude towards these huge and cheap Korean puppet troops is still quite good, and the military salary treatment is no different from the original, but for North Korean soldiers, the military salary of the Han army is not the same as that of the Korean official and the old man!
The officers of the Han army would not deliberately deduct the salary of the soldiers of the Korean puppet army!
Xue Ziwu wanted to make great use of these Korean puppet troops to make up for the lack of troops for the Han army's landing, so naturally he would not cut himself off in this regard......
On the one hand, the glorious and invincible victories of the Han army, and on the other hand, the military salaries that have been paid by real battles, what reason do these Korean puppet troops have not to work hard?
After all, even the king and his old man agreed, and these Korean puppet soldiers have no position and interests to oppose at all!
The mentality of the Korean puppet army at this time is similar to the Manchurian puppet army that the Japanese Kwantung Army co-opted in the puppet Manchurian region in the history of the earth in Zhao Dutian's previous life.
After some conversion and supplementation, Xue Ziwu easily pulled up more than 10,000 North Korean puppet troops!
These Korean puppet soldiers don't even need to be trained, because they were originally the big soldiers of the Korean Kingdom, and the modern tactics may not be, but the fighting methods of the feudal era are still very familiar, as long as they don't encounter the modern army, these North Korean soldiers can still fight a dozen, otherwise, the Korean magnates of the main battle faction at the beginning will not be desperate!
A desperate gamble is not ten deaths, and the North Korean elites also made up their minds to resist after watching the so-called 'North Korean elite' military exercises!
In the eyes of the big men who have never seen the modern war, these North Korean soldiers are still worthy of the first war......
At least, the North Korean soldiers were able to withstand so many shells with grenadiers and not collapse immediately, and the courage of qualified soldiers was still there......
This is also a small advantage of the small country, the country is small, the need for less troops, the number of troops can save a lot of expenses, and the additional expenses can naturally be used to make this small army better trained!
Like the Manchu Empire, the stall is particularly large, and it is already a great financial pressure to maintain an army of one million, and how much money can be used to arm and train intensively?
The soldiers of the Green Battalion did not change a set of weapons for decades, and the swords they took out during the war were full of rust, which was not only a problem of official corruption, but also had a lot to do with the fact that the Manchu Imperial Court had no money to increase military spending.
Xue Ziwu spent a lot of effort to form the Korean puppet army, and he is still recruiting reliable Korean youths, training new recruits for the puppet army, and preparing for the expansion of the Korean puppet army in the future.
Xue Ziwu was reminded by the General Staff before landing that there were no soldiers to send in the Americas!
In order to maintain the basic industrial production capacity of the Americas, not to mention slaves, even the Indian young and strong have been used to the extreme, which is also the reason why the white people in North America have not been completely purged, and the Han Empire needs to enslave those white young people to farm and mine to supplement the gap of a large number of Indian young people who are taken away as workers!
In the process of Zhao Dutian's rise, it was a stable and huge empire that was built by killing people, and when the Han Empire was in full swing, retribution came......
Population is scarce!
If it weren't for Zhao Dutian's explosion of black technology, basically after the Han Empire occupied the entire American continent, it would have reached its peak, and it would no longer be able to expand!
Therefore, whether it is attacking the Manchu Empire or attacking the Korean Kingdom, the Han army is a 'lone army' without reinforcements, and it is necessary to make full use of the strength of the local people to organize armed forces loyal to the Han Empire.
