1815 Who's Faster
The next actions of the coalition forces were also very smooth, and it only took a short time to take control of Dazheng Town without damage. Although there were a few large Manchurian families in the town who did not have time to flee, they did not dare to take the means of armed resistance after seeing the scale of the incoming coalition forces. And the Manchus, as the rulers, were unwilling to take the lead in resistance, and the Han people had no reason to resist.
After the Haihan army arrived, these Manchu families expressed their willingness to exchange their property for the opportunity to leave Dazheng Town safely, after all, they had long heard about the recent actions of the coalition forces near the coast of Liaodong, and in the villages and towns that were attacked, as long as the Manchus who took resistance measures were either killed or wounded, and the population of the entire village and town would be transported away by Haihan by ship after the battle. If these Manchus want to leave this place safely, then the only way to give up money, food, and property is to choose.
After receiving the report, Wang Tom did not order the extermination of the Manchurians here, but asked his subordinates to detain them and release them after the Haihan army had withdrawn from Dazheng Town, so as not to let the nearby Qing army have more real-time information about the coalition army.
As for the Han Chinese people in the town, the coalition forces would assemble them and escort them to the seashore to board ships and transport them to the areas controlled by the Han people for resettlement. Although the population of this Dazheng Town is only more than 1,000 people, Wang Tom will not be afraid of sparrow meat, if there can be ten times and eight such harvests in a month, it will play a great role in the population growth of Haihan's colonies in the north.
Although Dazheng Town is not a rich place, after some looting by the coalition forces, there is still some harvest, which can barely subsidize the military expenses of this operation. In addition, almost all the iron and bronze objects in the town have also been looted, and these metal objects will be transported back to be re-smelted, which will also be a large profit.
Until the coalition forces withdrew from this place, the Qing army did not reappear, and it seems that the previous engagement had made the Qing army discourage the idea of driving the coalition troops away from the place. This made the breath-holding Simang slightly disappointed, he originally hoped that the Qing army would be able to fight back with blood, and then the coalition army would teach them a profound lesson.
"Want to fight the Qing army, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future!" Wang Tom sensed Ximang's unfinished thoughts, so he took the initiative to persuade him: "Don't forget, we will return to Korea to deal with the main force of the Qing army!"
Simang sighed: "But by that time, the strength of the Qing army will far exceed ours, right? Twenty times, thirty or thirty times? Or more? Just thinking about it makes me feel very exciting, maybe we should not go back to Korea, but continue to use this place as the main battlefield!"
There was a hint of worry in Simang's tone, although he could probably understand Haihan's strategic intention of taking the initiative to let the Qing army enter Korea, but in fact, he was not very optimistic about whether the North Koreans could delay the pace of the Qing army's southward march and gain more buffer time for the next move of the coalition army. If the Qing army had as many as 100,000 troops as Haihan had predicted, the disparity in strength would also greatly limit the tactical options of the coalition forces. For example, a way of moving far away from the fleet and going inland would be extremely risky, and the coalition forces would have to abandon most of their plans to fight on land, and would have to take a more conservative approach to control several major rivers in North Korea.
