Chapter 214: A Two-Legged Beast
Mondora's troops marched much slower than the original Flax Rush March, and Mondora already knew the news that the shogunate had suffered great losses after the Battle of Edo Castle, and at the same time, he also learned that the reason why the Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas suffered great losses in the siege was because of the lack of artillery!
Therefore, Mondora simply pulled up all the land field guns provided by dozens of expeditionary fleets, and slowly and mightily, dragged his horse and advanced towards Edo Castle!
In order to serve these field artillery, which was inconvenient to move, the Japanese on the line from Yokohama Port to Edo Castle were considered to have fallen into blood mold!
Whether it is an old ox or a mule or horse for farming, as long as it is a four-legged one, they will all be recruited on the spot by the Tiger Wolf Marine Corps unreasonably!
But even so, Japan, which relies on manpower for most of its farming, will find it difficult to gather Mondora's 'mule-horse-like' mobile troops, and Mondora, who has no choice, as long as the conscription conditions are relaxed, not only four-legged, but two-legged strong men can also be!
What should I do if the speed of the human gun cart is not as fast as that of mules and horses?
Whip with a whip!
If the whip doesn't move, put on the bayonet!
Anyway, a mule and horse with 4 legs are worth more than a 2-legged one!
As for the question of whether the conscripted Japanese civilians would die of exhaustion, Mondora didn't even bother to pay attention to it, compared with the more docile linen of the governance style, Mondora didn't treat the Japanese as human beings at all......
In front of her own soldiers and officers, Mondola even jokingly called the Japanese two-legged brutes!
The commanders are like this, you can imagine how brutal the attitude of the Tiger Wolf Marine Corps and the soldiers who were temporarily pulled in from the sequence of the Honorary Independent Regiment of America will be towards the Japanese!
Just like Genghis Khan's actions back then, brutality and murder will not only provoke the revolutionary insurrection of the people, but also make the people feel terror and fear!
Especially the backward and ignorant feudal commoners with a backward educational foundation!
In their eyes, being hacked to death without resistance is much better than being tortured and killed by relatives after resisting......
Sometimes, knowledge determines the rebellious mentality of human beings, although the more you know, the more afraid you are of death, but in the same way, the more you know, the more you yearn for ideas like freedom, and more seriously, it will even evolve into the concept of future generations and the prosperity of the country to die!
That's why revolutions always break out after the start of basic education!
The reason why only Paris was the first to break out in France was because the Parisian burghers had a high level of education!
Well, compared to the feudal peasants, literacy is considered high......
The revolution was able to spread in Europe because European countries popularized education in order to improve the combat effectiveness of their armies......
A peasant uprising is not a revolution!
The so-called revolution is an act of insurrection guided by purpose and ideology, and the goal is much clearer than that of the peasant uprising!
The Xinhai Revolution of the Qing Dynasty, to put it bluntly, was also set off when there were more students studying abroad and had a clear ideological goal!
It has to be said that the effect of a revolution guided by ideology is much stronger than that of an ignorant peasant uprising!
You see, the monarchies all over Europe have become democracies in one revolution after another......
Real nationalism is formed after education begins to spread, and it is better to talk to a peasant who is illiterate than to talk to him about nationalism!
In a sense, the popularization of education is also the gravedigger of the feudal system, but unfortunately, with the development of firearms, the war is more and more dependent on the civilian population at the bottom, and when the number of troops is limited, it is natural for the rulers to want to improve the quality and quality of the army, and education is undoubtedly the most convenient way!
If a soldier can read and write, he can understand the combat drill code, he can understand the simplified nationalist brainwashing, and the soldier can better understand the orders given by the officer!
And so on these details, the advantage in the war will be magnified layer by layer, this is the basis of the strong combat effectiveness of the educated army!
Even the army of the Han Empire will open literacy classes to teach soldiers to read and write during the rest and training period.
Otherwise, it will be extremely cumbersome for officers to even communicate and listen to orders to each other!
You can't hire a literate gentleman next to every officer......
Although the Tiger Wolf Marines had a faint tendency to replace the annexation of the Honor Independent Regiment of the Americas, Mondora's power was far less than that of Flax, and when Wang Gang marched into Flax, except for the Yokohama Port base, all the occupied areas of Japan were controlled by Flaxdo's men.

Now that Flax Duo ate a little Lori in a hurry and was killed by someone, how could Wang Gang let go of this opportunity to take power?
The reason why Mondora was able to receive the Indian soldiers of the Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas all the way unharmed had a lot to do with Wang Gang's Han guards taking over the command of the towns along the way!
Except for a small number of Indian soldiers left behind to assist the Han soldiers in maintaining order in the occupied towns, most of the remnants of the American Honor Independent Regiment were stuffed to Mondora by Wang Gang!
Otherwise, the number of Indian soldiers in the local garrison of the American Honor Independent Regiment was far greater than the number of Han soldiers, which made Wang Gang not feel at ease after all......
Moreover, handing over the surplus remnants of the Honor of America to Mondola can also strengthen the strength of the Tiger Wolf Marines and give them a better chance of victory when attacking Edo Castle!
As soon as the powerful flax is dead, Wang Gang can once again control the command of the Japanese army in name and fact, even if Mondora wins and is promoted to the status of flax, the Tiger Wolf Marine Corps is also under Wang Gang's command in the army sequence!
There is still a big difference with the self-contained American Honor Independent Regiment!
For example, if Wang Gang wants to insert a few Han superintendents in the Tiger Wolf Marine Corps, Mondora has no reason to refute it, but if he intervenes in the American Honor Independent Regiment with a lot of flax, then the lawsuit can be fought all the way to Zhao Dutian's court!
This is the problem of the military system, as long as there is a name, no matter how powerful Mondora is, when he sees Wang Gang, he will shout an adult, but if they are not subordinate to each other, even if Wang Gang's military rank is greater than that of flax, flax can not bird him!
It can also be seen from this point that the flax example set by Zhao Dutian at the beginning really made the Indian soldiers excited!
But Mondola doesn't matter, he doesn't want any face, even if he becomes a big official, as long as there is a demand, it will not be a problem to kneel for Wang Gang!
Proper practical egoist!
Dignity?
What is that thing?
Can you eat or sleep with a beautiful woman?
For Mondora, anything can be exchanged except her own life!
Of course, he is also very sensible and knows the strength of the Han Empire, so he is now the vanguard of the Han Empire, and he must capture Edo Castle and let the shogun sign 21 or more treaties! (To be continued.) )
