Chapter 171: Armistice and Peace
There is no harm in the concentrated use of artillery, except that it is easy to be overwhelmed by the enemy, and the concentrated use of artillery, even in the middle of the bombardment, will have an advantage, unless the opponent uses accurate ultra-long-range artillery that exceeds several levels of technology!
However, in the era when smoothbore guns dominated the battlefield, such worries were completely non-existent!
And with the Polish hussars, it also eliminated the defect of the enemy using cavalry to attack artillery positions in a roundabout way!
After this war, the American Field Army of the Han Empire was reduced to the Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas under the command of Yamado, a legendary Indian officer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Paprov's Russian Foreign Legion was damaged twice and had more than 5,000 remainers, and the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas were completely transformed into local security forces.
It can be said that except for Zhao Dutian, who used the gold resources he had recently accumulated to recruit civilians and expand the Han Guards again, all the armies of the Great Han Empire have been reduced a lot in numbers!
Zhao Dutian is plundering wealth through foreign wars, expanding the Han army in an orderly and covert manner, and reducing the number of Indian troops and foreign legions!
The size of the Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas is much smaller than that of the American Field Army, but Zhao Dutian believes that the combat effectiveness will definitely surpass it!
Because there is no longer a bias towards the Han in this army, which makes the Indian soldiers psychologically unbalanced, and Zhao Dutian has not sent any Han inspectors, this army has become a pure Indian army!
Flax Doe can rely on his personal prestige to rally this unit around him!
However, Zhao Dutian was not worried that Flax would rebel at all, the reason was very simple, the families of those Indian soldiers were all in the Han Empire, and next to the station of the Honorary Independent Regiment of the Americas was the garrison of Paprov's Russian Foreign Legion.
In the event of an accident, Paprov's army can easily drag down the Honor of America Independent Regiment and wait for the Han Guards and other troops to encircle and suppress Flax!
Of course, these are all means to prevent accidents from happening, and judging by Flaxdo's loyalty and seniority, he has no reason to rebel against the Han Empire!
Besides, the Honor Independent Regiment of the Americas left the Han Empire, and there was no ammunition supply at all, relying on about 20 rounds of ammunition per soldier, after a battle, the flintlock pistol could be used as a burning stick......
Is it possible that the Honor of America Independence Regiment can still defect to the whites?
Even if Flax had a lot of brains, those thousands of Indian soldiers would not have agreed!
The most important thing is that the American Honor Independent Regiment is directly under the command of the Imperial General Staff in the Han Empire, and the honorary status is good, and the food for the soldiers is very good, unless Flax wants to be the emperor, otherwise, there is no reason for treason at all!
As for the beautiful idea of being an emperor, as long as you are not crazy, you should understand that in the Han Empire, except for Zhao Dutian, no one can unite the Indians again!
Once Zhao Dutian fell, there were only two situations, the Han Empire fell apart, and there were endless wars in various places, and then, the white colonists took advantage of the situation to completely suppress the Indians and permanently solve the troubles in the Americas!
The Indian civilians at the bottom of these truths may not understand, but there are a lot of learned flax, isn't it still clear?!
Moreover, Flax Duo himself admired this emperor of the Han Empire very much, not because of his personal charm, but because of his ability to unite the Indians and defeat the white colonists!
Flaxdo's behavior on the battlefield is not for show, no one will be so brainbroken as to show off with death, he really doesn't want this united American empire to collapse!
Zhao Dutian's reward for him also made Flax Duo very moved, his current status can be said to be better than that puppet head of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, Koopa!
In the spring of the thirteenth year of the Han Dynasty, in California, where the climate is mild, Indian farmers who have adapted to agricultural planting life have gone down to the fields and began to grow grain facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
In fact, the climate in the southern region of the Han Empire was very suitable for growing some cash crops, such as cotton!
However, under Zhao Dutian's compulsory order, the planting area of this kind of cash crops is not large, and his goal is to develop his core territory into an industrial area, rather than acting as a cash crop planting area, even if this can allow the Han Empire to carry out certain foreign trade activities with Europe in the short term!
The Han Empire, which was always in a state of war readiness, only paid attention to two things, one was to expand the planting area of grain and reserve a large amount of strategic food to prevent long-term wars that might occur in the future!
As long as there is enough food, Zhao Dutian can pull these young and strong laborers in the farmland into the new barracks and military factories at the necessary moment!
This is the reason why the cultivated land area of the Han Empire has increased instead of decreasing when the territory is vast, the land is fertile, and the grain output is rich every year!
A large amount of grain harvest is not eaten, but stored, but this practice suffers the common people, and many people can only eat the old grain stored in previous years......
As for the other side of the focus, it is natural that the development of the military industry and productive forces, under the impetus of the war, the development prospects of the Han Empire in this regard have been good!
When the newly formed Honor of America Independent Regiment of the Han Empire confronted the Spanish colonial forces at the Tucson Fortress, France and the Kingdom of Spain, with the help of the British, formally reached an armistice with the Han Empire.
This was the first time that the Han Empire had reached a formal diplomatic peace treaty with a European power in the true sense of the word!
The Kingdom of Spain and the Han Empire also officially resumed peace with the Han Empire from the spring of the thirteenth year of the Han Dynasty!
The colonies of France and Spain, which were occupied by the Han Empire, were also recognized as territories of the Han Empire.
On the other hand, Britain gave up the priority of the slave trade in the treaty, and the British army stopped continuing to attack the French-occupied areas of the New France colonies, and ceded many colonies in New France that had been occupied and exploited by the French!
Of course, it was impossible for the Han Empire to swallow the benefits without paying at all, and Zhao Dutian readily agreed to the open market for the Han Empire to carry out equal trade with European countries.
The Han Empire is a dictatorial planned economic system, and it is difficult for national wealth to flow out through the market, after all, after more than 10 years of development, the Han Empire is not much behind Europe in terms of industrialization!
The European powers wanted to open their markets with the Han Empire, not to dump goods, but to restore the import of American resources!
The land occupied by the Han Empire is very rich in natural resources, and since it can't be snatched, it's always okay to buy it with money! (To be continued.) )
