Chapter 98: Stepping into the World Stage XVII
With the passage of time, the defense line of the Kingdom of Spain based on the city of Los Angeles and the Eureka defense line in the north gradually took shape, and similarly, San Francisco became more and more empty, almost all the regular army soldiers were withdrawn to the Eureka defense line, and even the young and strong soldiers who were temporarily expanded by Garcia were also pulled away!
Of course, if in terms of numbers, the strength of San Francisco has not decreased in the slightest, and at the same time as the excellent soldiers are withdrawn, the Spanish government has also armed a Spanish militia that is uneven, almost semi-forcibly pulled!
Old men, hooligans, bastards, and even Indians mixed with the Spaniards, this was an integral part of the militia's armament, and their training was short, their equipment was poor, and they did not even have a single artillery......
Let this kind of army face tens of thousands of wolf-like Indian troops, only God knows......
The nominal commander of this army is Gaurald. Count Clouey, the poor patriarch of the Clouey family, had just contacted a good family before the fall of Monterey and planned to marry, but after the fall of Monterey, they returned to the pre-liberation period, but Angela and Louise did not seem to be at all annoyed that they did not have to marry......
In January of the 5th year of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire in North America did not have any traditional festivals of the Han people - the Spring Festival, the reason is very simple, the Indians are just that, and the customs of the Indian tribes are too different, Zhao Dutian has no interest in turning the sacrificial customs of the Indian tribes into legal holidays or something, so the Han Empire has become a country without any national legal holidays!
This seemed so incredible in Zhao Dutian's previous life, but in the 18th century, it was the most normal norm for the mainstream countries in the world!
Don't you see, the so-called European powers, while they are glamorous and powerful on the outside, the domestic people have to endure more than ten hours of work a day, and there are no weekends, oh, no, there are no single days off!
Those capitalists don't think about whether to give the workers below a holiday, even if it's half a day, on the days when God has a day off! (In the Bible, God created the world for seven days, with the first six days working and the last day resting...... )
It can be said that in today's era when the productive forces are underdeveloped, but full of a large number of kings and monarchs, behind the frequent wars are the hegemony established by the civilian class with blood and tears!
It took several years for the Han Empire to finally complete the digestion of the newly occupied land, and also established the governance of the Spanish poor in the occupied areas (the slightly rich Spaniards all ran away, only the poor had no money to run). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Zhao Dutian learned about the destruction of Christian churches and priests and other clergy in Monterey City, he was a little dissatisfied and reprimanded the monks below who sang praises to him all day long!
Yes, although Zhao Dutian is not very interested in Christianity, he really did not give an order to completely eradicate Christianity!
He is not stupid, he naturally knows that in this era, sectarian conflicts may not be as sharp as before, but wars for the purpose of cleaning up religion will definitely cause collective hostility among the Western European powers!
At the beginning, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, no matter how strong it was, failed to defeat Europe that was in a weak period at that time, the difference in religious consciousness, in a sense, allowed European countries to find a good means of unity, and the European powers from top to bottom regarded the Ottoman Turkish Empire as a flood beast, and the role of religion was still quite good among the common people at the bottom!
After all, in this era, there was no radio and no instant communication, and in order to brainwash Zhao Dutian's army to ensure his allegiance to the Han Empire, there were not only ubiquitous Jinyi guard spies and gendarmerie, but also a large number of Han Protestant monks!
It can be said that in the hearts of the Indian soldiers, these monks, who like to teach them with a gentle attitude, are more worthy of their respect!
Moreover, the previous wars of the Han Empire against Indian tribes ended with the destruction of the faith of the hostile tribes, to put it bluntly, these Indian soldiers had wiped out the spiritual beliefs of the losers and turned them into routine fortifications after the end of a war......
Of course, those monks put a lot of effort into this!
In the battle of attacking Monterey City, Zhao Dutian stayed in a very safe and backward marching tent, and after a decisive victory, he began to be busy with the aftermath, cleaning up the church This inconsequential routine, those low-level officers, naturally will not report, after all, there are many fanatical admirers and monks of the Han Emperor Zhao Dutian next to him!
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is still very tolerant of these monks who regard themselves as gods and whose combat power is about equal to 5, and their rights in the Han Empire are not small, all of them are recruited by the system, and they can receive the salary of the Han Empire without labor, and they can also accept the worship of believers!
In the Han Empire, the status of monks was second only to that of the officers of the Han Guards!
These monks did play a lot of roles, without their appeasement and brainwashing, Zhao Dutian would not have the ability to continuously pull out batch after batch of Indian soldiers in such a short period of time!
And also make these Indian soldiers think that they are fighting for their own people!
Fortunately, Zhao Dutian found out in time, although the churches and clergy in Monterey City went to see God together, he still had a chance to save, and Zhao Dutian also made a deliberate change in this aspect after realizing the shortcomings of his army, even if the monk's wishes were carried out, they had to report it, even if it was a lot of delay!
In the subsequent sweep, Zhao Dutian showed a tolerant conqueror posture, rather than a slaughterer posture similar to that in Monterey City, which softened his image a little......
Yes, just a little!
Let the Spaniards feel that the emperor of the Han Empire will at least accept prisoners, and will not kill prisoners at will!
That's enough!
The American Field Army of about 10,000 people, that is, the strength of a legion within the establishment of the Han Empire, plus the two legions of the American Self-Defense Force that were temporarily pulled out, and then after the expansion, the Han Guards can barely be assembled with a division!
In order to make full use of the human resources of the Indians to directly use the war, Zhao Dutian specially established a series of temporary war participation bills!
To put it simply, the original task of the American Self-Defense Force is to defend a fixed defense area, but in the event of a foreign war in the Han Empire, the military of the Han Empire can issue additional military salaries and pull out the soldiers of the American Self-Defense Force to participate in the war!
