Chapter 288: Good Luck Frederick
After the end www.biquge.info of the large-scale war, the 100,000 Native American Guard became the garrison of the Han Empire in South America, and their main task was to clean up the power wealth of the native-born whites and the Spaniards who had not surrendered!
Those native-born white tycoons or Spanish tyrants who did not flee have naturally already expressed their intention to surrender, but Zhao Dutian has been very generous in treating the surrendered generals with military power, and has always adhered to the principle of not surrendering to these rich whites!
Lao Tzu just won't accept your surrender, either donate your property and go back to Spain, or insist on resisting and wait for the army to encircle and suppress!
This is the attitude of the Han Empire towards white tyrants, which is very tough and ...... Don't talk about people!
The direct effect of this attitude of the Han Empire was that the American Native Guard and the Spanish Foreign Legion, which had defected to Chengcheng, were immediately engaged in a small-scale purge after the large-scale battle!
Naturally, the Han Empire also made timely rewards for the surrender of Spanish officers and generals, and Dubachra and Gerardo, two high-level military leaders of the Kingdom of Spain, led the surrender faction, and were directly appointed by the Imperial Staff as the generals of the reorganized Spanish First Foreign Legion and the Spanish Second Foreign Legion!
Of course, the lieutenants in these two Foreign Legions were Han Chinese......
In fact, these two Spanish generals were set by example in the Han Empire, except for some command in wartime, they were stationed strictly under strict monitoring on weekdays!
At this point, the Jin Yiwei of the Han Empire is familiar with the road!
Those scattered Spanish troops who took refuge in the army were incorporated into these two Spanish Foreign Legions, which were only subordinate to the Han Empire, and every Spanish officer who took refuge retained the original fortune and military power to the greatest extent, and their families were also settled very 'properly', and they definitely had no worries about food and clothing......
I have to say that the two Spanish Foreign Legions, which together have 30,000 people, have brought great convenience to the clearance work of the Han Empire, because many of the two Spanish Foreign Legions live in South America all year round and are quite familiar with the local white manors and the hiding places of the local tyrants!
With this large number of leading parties, the purge of the Native Guard of the Americas in South America has achieved twice the result with half the effort!
The large amount of wealth accumulated by the white tyrants in South America made the Han Empire, which had been in deficit in war finances for many years, immediately return to its original capital!
It's just that, in the process of purging, there was a problem that the Han Empire had to face, a large number of ownerless black slaves!
These black slaves were much more numerous than Indian slaves and mulattoes, and if not handled properly, they would be a huge powder keg for South America that the Han Empire had just won!
In the end, Zhao Dutian followed a prudent policy, first concentrated these ownerless black slaves in the large-scale concentration camps built, and collectively drove these black slaves to engage in some coolie work for post-war reconstruction and recovery, of course, the Han Empire had to provide basic food!
Zhao Dutian's idea was to dispose of this group of black slaves when the rule of the Han Empire in South America was completely entrenched!
Anyway, the Han Empire is his hall, as long as he nods, no matter what the price is, the entire state apparatus of the Han Empire will follow suit!
However, when Zhao Dutian had just swallowed the Spanish Kingdom's colonies in South America, he received an important war report from Europe that had crossed the ocean!
Prussia, which had been encircled on three sides, and even Berlin was broken once by the troops led by General Leopold Joseph Dawn of Austria and looted more than 2 million silver coins.
Tsar Meow, the Russian Tsar who hated Frederick the Great so much, died in her hospital bed before she finished the war!
You know, Frederick's situation at that time was already in a certain position, the British because of the capture of the Indian colony, and the French signed a contract for the annexation of the Indian colony, and tended to stop the war, and although Frederick the Great achieved a lot of victories, but only delayed the demise of Prussia, under the siege of three sides, Prussia went through the war, Frederick the Great almost conscripted all the whole Prussia over the age of fourteen and under the age of 40 healthy men to join the army!
It can be said that Prussia, whether it is agricultural production or industrial production, is on the verge of stagnation, and whenever winter comes, the Prussian army fighting on its own soil lacks cotton clothes to protect against the cold!
Frederick lamented more than once that Europe would return to the Dark Middle Ages if this fight continued......
Frederick was not exaggerating, not only in Prussia, which was attacked, but also because the French had no overseas resources, the treasury was already in deficit, and the king had to tax the noble estates, and even the national debt was stopped!
If the national debt is reissued, France's national credibility will collapse!
Even Louis XV felt that there were too many wars and too often, and wanted to end the war, which had lasted for years, but was rejected by Madame de Pompadour......
In the intelligence of the secret service, Zhao Dutian has a deeper understanding of the rights of Pompadour, the first lady of France, due to the financial depletion of France, from the nobles to the front-line commanders and generals have anti-war sentiments, and Mrs. Pompadour's response is very thorough, the anti-war nobles who led the anti-war were removed from all state positions, and the front-line commanders were replaced by Madame Pompadour with a French nobleman who really knelt and licked the first lady!
Madame de Pompadour, however, was so resolute in her approach to the war that she rejected the proposal of the Council of Nobles to reduce government spending!
Because the government spends so much more than Madame de Pompadour's!
Therefore, the French are tightening their belts to fight on the front line, and Madame de Pompadour is still leisurely admiring the flowers and holding banquets......
Such corruption makes the French aristocracy dare not speak out, the power of this French first lady is really admirable!
As for the French civilians, they don't even have the right to speak......
France was poor, Austria was not comfortable, fighting in a different place made Austria pay a huge price for logistics and transportation, Frederick the Great never stopped the idea of attacking Austrian logistics, making Austria's generals miserable!
Therefore, on the Austro-Prussian battlefield, as long as winter comes, it is really the eldest brother who does not laugh at the second brother, there are soldiers who freeze to death on the Prussian side, and there are definitely many soldiers who starve to death on the Austrian side......
The only ones that were strong and less defeated were the expeditionary forces of the Russian Empire and the Swedish troops, the Swedish troops were because they rarely acted alone, and the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force was because of the old Maozi who did not want to die in the war, which gave Frederick the Great a headache......
It was in this situation that the English demanded that Frederick cede Silesia and sue for peace, but Frederick the Great refused without hesitation!
