After the attacker wins this kind of siege warfare, if the restraint on his subordinates is not strict, it can easily turn into a 'chaos' and 'chaos' robbery. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable). The update is so fast. Although the Haihan militia has strict military regulations, no one dares to guarantee that the soldiers can withstand the 'temptation' and 'temptation' of wealth, and in this kind of war and 'chaos' environment, as long as a few people take the lead in causing trouble, it is easy to form a group effect.

Although the essence of this military operation is to come to Hoi An to rob, the Central Military Commission will not be happy to see the militia soldiers turn into a group of unorganized and undisciplined bandits -- even if it is robbery, there is a distinction between professional and amateur, and the Haihan militia is also a professional army and cannot lose its basic restraints. Before the war, in addition to the repeated emphasis on military discipline by the officers, they also made more detailed arrangements for the situation after the city was breached.

In the battle plan, Anseong was roughly divided into two cities, east and west, according to the central axis, with the eastern city being in charge of the troops in the base camp and the western city being in charge of the Black Soil Port militia. The two districts are further divided into a number of districts, which are to be subdivided into a series of districts. In this way, if there is a situation in any area, it can be quickly traced to the commander.

As for the attitude of the Chinese businessmen scattered all over Hoi An City, the Military Commission also gave a bottom line -- to see whether the other side takes the initiative to be hostile to the militia army. If someone can't see clearly and wants to jump out and die, then the militia can not have too many scruples and just take force to suppress it. However, in principle, it is necessary to give a certain amount of protection to the Chinese businessmen who are willing to cooperate, because it is very likely that these businessmen will transfer their base to Sanya, which is on the rise, after the destruction of Hoi An City.

As for the merchants of Annam and other nationalities, they will have to ask for more blessings, because they will be the main targets of this military operation. According to Zhan Gui and Qian Tiandun's predictions, after capturing Hoi An, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver worth of silver can be scavenged here, and the executive committee has already made a decision, and half of the spoils obtained by Hoi An will be returned to the military at a discounted price as an additional military subsidy for this year. The officers had already received the news before they set off, and they had long been prepared to make Hoi An City three feet tall.

After Takahashi Nan 'handed over' control of the southern city wall with the follow-up troops, he took his assault platoon and went straight to the official office in the north of the city. From the moment the walls collapsed, the defenders of the city barely organized a decent resistance, and the sporadic resistance was simply a hand-off in the face of the heavily armed Haihan militias, and the fate of a few diehards was to be carried away by a volley of muskets at close range.

Although the speed of Gao Qiaonan's action was already very fast, the ability of the officials in Hoi An City to escape was obviously not bad, and when Gao Qiao Nan led his troops to arrive, the people in the ya'men had already run away, leaving only an empty 'dang' and 'dang' courtyard.

However, Takahashi Nam was not very interested in arresting South Vietnamese officials, and his task was very simple, which was to take down the official office and ensure that the items in the official office were intact. There may not have been much money in this official office, but the written materials that recorded the local people's feelings were something that the Executive Committee valued very much, and specifically told the military to bring them back to Shengli Harbor, so that they could have a more intuitive and profound understanding of the Western forces that entered the Indochina Peninsula during this period.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the militia had basically taken control of Hoi An City, and put the main city 'gates' under control, and the remnants of the South Vietnamese soldiers in the city were also arrested and killed, and no more organized garrisons were found in the city. However, judging from the results of the current battle, most of the garrisons in the city chose to flee Hoi An after the city was broken, and only a few diehards and unlucky ghosts who did not have time to escape from the city were killed and captured.

Although the walls were partially destroyed by heavy artillery, the buildings in the city were not greatly affected. The whole process happened so fast that most of the residents had already fallen before they even 'figured' what was going on. However, in this way, the people who were shivering at home were easily controlled, and the entire city of Hoi An did not fall into a state of 'chaos' and 'chaos' because of the war, which greatly facilitated the militia army to take over the city. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

After controlling the various throats in the city, the remaining thing is to check from house to house, arrest those who should be arrested, and raid the house. Of course, the targets outside the city have not been ignored, such as the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce, which is located two miles west of Hoi An City, has been surrounded by Wang Tom himself with a company.

According to the results of Qian Tiandun's reconnaissance in Hoi An last time, there were at least four or five hundred Portuguese stationed in the local area, and most of these people were merchants and sailors, although they were not as powerful as the Chinese merchants, but their armed level was much higher than that of the Chinese, not only had a large number of muskets, but also built a fortress-like building outside the city in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. Since the South Vietnamese court had military requirements for the Portuguese, it had always turned a blind eye to these suspected acts of transgression and would not take the initiative to interfere.

However, the Hai Han militia army was not as easy to deal with as the South Vietnamese, and a large part of the reason for sending troops to Hoi An this time was to attack the Portuguese power in South Vietnam. Even if the Portuguese are not wiped out, at least they must be withdrawn from Indochina to pave the way for the strategic planning of the Executive Committee. Qian Tiandun asked people to take the iron horn and began to shout to the Portuguese hall to persuade him to surrender.

However, the Portuguese apparently did not immediately open the door to surrender, and in fact their desire for war seemed to be stronger than that of South Vietnam. Several Portuguese, armed with muskets, fired from the second floor of the guild hall at the militia positions on the periphery. Although with the 'precision' of the arquebus, it was unlikely that sporadic 'shooting' could accurately hit a single target from a distance of 100 meters, this act of killing still succeeded in 'arousing' the anger of Tom Wang. He ordered the persuasion to stop the surrender, and pushed the four 'gates' of 6-pounder army guns to the front of the formation, aiming at the main 'gate' of the guild hall.

With two roars, the large wooden 'door' of the guild hall was suddenly shattered into a pile of fragments, and even the exclamations from the guild hall could be faintly heard. Wang Tom did not immediately order the shelling to be stopped, but let the artillery aim at the big 'gate' and continue to 'fire' shells into the hall. After ten minutes of continuous bombardment, the Portuguese finally waved a white flag in the wreckage and chose to surrender - not because they were afraid of battle, but because they saw from the hall that the attackers outside had pushed the siege 48-pounder mortar to the position, and no one would be naïve enough to think that the building of the guild hall was more solid than the walls of Hoi An City, and if they did not surrender, they would probably be buried in the rubble.

Eduardo, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, did not escape this fate, he asked the servant Bento to prepare the horses and money for the escape an hour in advance, but when he finally broke away from the crowd and prepared to run away, he found that the usually stupid servant had sneaked away from the back 'door' of the guild hall with his silver chest and mount!

And this was not the end of Eduardo's nightmare, after the Portuguese on behalf of the local surrender to the attacking forces, he learned that the army attacking Hoi An City was the old enemy Haihan. At the same time, Tom Wang, who accepted the surrender on behalf of the Haihan militia army, announced that all the surrendered Portuguese would be guaranteed personal safety, but at the same time, as the price of their armed resistance, the Haihan militia would confiscate their local property.

As veteran colonists who had robbed the world, they certainly understood that the Haihan people did not want to confiscate their belongings because of the resistance of the Chamber of Commerce, but they were determined to grab a handful - the victors wanted to loot the defeated side, and they could always find many reasons. But they have chosen the path of surrender, and the vast majority of them do not have the courage to resist in any form, not to mention that King Tom also announced that any form of resistance will be inflicted as a riot, and the only end of the riot is to be immediately hanged.

But the spirit of human death is really innate, and even if the Portuguese are already facing such a passive situation, there are still bold people who try to stir up a little 'flower'. Five Portuguese hiding in the warehouse next to the guild hall tried to sneak up on the militia soldiers, but unfortunately their bodies were exposed a little earlier, and they were soon pressed to the ground by the militia soldiers who swarmed up.

Tom's warning was immediately fulfilled, and the five Portuguese were immediately hanged for riots. Due to the haste of the incident, the militia soldiers did not even set up the gallows, and directly completed the execution by means of a big tree on the side of the road.

Seeing five corpses hanging in the air, Eduardo trembled and protested: "You will be punished for this barbaric act!"

Of course, although Eduardo also spoke a little Chinese for business reasons, he was very tactful in expressing his anger in his native language, so as not to 'provoke' the Han people to suffer unnecessarily. However, his plan did not go smoothly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the dark-skinned Haihan officer respond in Portuguese: "If you don't want the same fate for yourself, you'd better shut up immediately!"

Tom Wang had participated in several round-the-world regattas, and he had been to countless places, and he was fluent in the world's most widely used languages, and his language ability was basically second only to Schneider, an international giant in the group. Eduardo was startled, and quickly bowed his head and shut up, secretly thinking in his heart how to save his 'life' from the hands of the Haihan people.

When the local merchants found out that the enemy occupying Hoi An was about to carry out a large-scale looting, many people still broke out the last courage to choose to resist, but this kind of mantis arm as a car was really limited, in addition to delaying the progress of the militia group's raids, it was just to add a few hanging corpses on the streets.

Occasionally, there are those who rely on the courtyard of the deep house and want to resist stubbornly, and the militia can quickly bring in a light 6-pounder gun and bombard the big 'gate'. In the face of a well-trained army, this amateur level of resistance is nothing more than a farce.

The local Chinese merchants soon realized that the Chinese-speaking army seemed to be consciously letting them go, and that the raids were almost always aimed at merchants of Annam. At this time, as long as the brain is not bad, they naturally choose to be a quiet bystander and do not take the initiative to provoke the Haihan militia. Of course, there are a few wise people among them who have already thought that after the departure of this army, the Chinese merchants and the natives may have a great conflict because of this difference in treatment, and this contradiction is very likely to affect their future life and business here.

By the evening of the same day, the militia army had confiscated more than 40 tons of grain inside and outside Hoi An City, and the value of gold, silver and precious metals had exceeded 300,000 negotiable bills. In addition, the boats on the wharf of the Thu Bon River were temporarily requisitioned by the militia to transport various materials seized from the city. In this siege, more than 700 local people died at the hands of the Haihan people, and about one-third of them died in the liquidation stage after the city was broken. The casualties on the Haihan side were much fewer, and they only paid a very small price of three killed and more than 20 wounded, and took Hoi An City.

After nightfall, the militia army escorted all the Portuguese captured outside the city to the city for detention, and Qian Tien Dun was also careful to send sentries in the south, west, and north directions, although it was unlikely that the South Vietnamese army would arrive in Hoi An to reinforce in such a short time, but it was always right to be prepared.

The clean-up operation continued the next day, and the militia army temporarily recruited 1,400 people in Hoi An City to carry the booty piled up into the mountains onto the ships. There are all kinds of handicrafts and weapons brought by Western merchants, as well as locally produced spices, rare wood, jewelry and ivory, as well as silk, porcelain, cane sugar and so on from the Ming Dynasty. Even people like Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom, who don't value money very much, can't help but sigh at the rich harvest of this trip.

"This South Vietnam is much richer than North Vietnam!" Qian Tiandun shook his head again and again: "If South Vietnam had been to connect with us first, maybe they would have 'spent' money to hire us to fight in Thang Long Mansion!"

"That's impossible, after all, we were eyeing the coal at the Black Soil Port from the beginning, and there was no coal we urgently needed in South Vietnam. Wang Tom shook his head and denied Qian Tiandun's conjecture: "South Vietnam has a certain geographical advantage because of its wealth, and Western merchants want to trade in Daming, almost all of them have to pass through the Indochina Peninsula back and forth. North Vietnam had no hot shipping routes or natural harbors, and its purely agrarian economy would certainly not be able to compete with South Vietnam's maritime trade. ”

"Demolishing Hoi An City is basically demolishing the cornucopia of South Vietnam!" Qian Tiandun also agreed with Wang Tom's view of Hoi An, nodded and said: "I heard Zhan Gui say before that in Hoi An alone, there are probably millions of silver taels flowing every year, and without the economic pillar of maritime trade, it may be difficult for South Vietnam to continue the civil war." ”

"We ransacked Hoi An this time, and this place will not be able to recover for at least two or three years. Wang Tom smiled and said: "But this time the military budget is much more sufficient, and some plans that were shelved before are finally ready to be implemented." ”

In fact, the military's development plan can be summed up in two words -- expanding the armed forces. Although the current establishment of the Haihan People's Regiment has increased by five times compared with the same period a year ago, and the number of trainees still in the training period has exceeded 2,000, in the eyes of the officers, the existing establishment is far from sufficient, especially for such special arms as artillery, and there is a huge gap in demand. According to the military's plan, an independent battalion will be retained in Heitu Harbor and Shengli Harbor within the year, and at the same time, the navy will complete the formation of its first fleet, and the work of replacing various armaments and weapons must also be carried out as soon as possible.

In the following period, the Haihan militia will gradually expand its control area in two directions, namely, to the coasts of Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang in the northeast, and to the Indochina Peninsula in the south, and these actions will require a large number of combat troops to achieve. And every expansion of the army means sky-high military spending and endless bargaining at the executive committee. This time to be able to get an extra military fee for the military through guò combat operations is even more meaningful for the officers than to receive military merit awards.

The officers will not be complacent about the few achievements they have made in the Indochina Peninsula and the Pearl River Estuary, because they are well aware that they have not yet 'confronted' a truly powerful opponent, and that the expansion of the power of the Crossing Group will inevitably face a strong enemy one day. All they can do now is to prepare as much as they can before that day comes.

When the ships on the pier were full, they sailed to Cham Island under the escort of the warships, and after docking at the island's harbor, the crew returned to Hoi An on the ships. The distance between the two places is less than twenty nautical miles, which is not too much trouble. Because there were too many ships to be "requisitioned" in Hoi An this time, the crew of sailors brought by the militia army itself was completely insufficient; in addition to temporarily hiring people locally, they also sent an urgent telegram to the base camp yesterday, asking them to send a group of sailors over to sail the ships as soon as possible. It is said that the two catamarans had already set off from Shengli Port early this morning, carrying more than 100 sailors to rush to the rescue, and if they were lucky, they would arrive in Hoi An in about two days. It was not until August 8 that the militia finally loaded all the spoils onto the ship. Before leaving, they did not forget to plant gunpowder in many places on the Hoi An city wall, and brutally blew up several city walls. If the South Vietnamese were unwilling to abandon the port of Hoi An and wanted to continue their maritime trade here, they would either build higher and thicker walls, or risk having their homes raided at any time and continue trading in this city that was airy on all sides. "What a tragedy!" Eduardo, who had not regained his freedom until before the retreat of the Haihan people, looked at the ruined city of Hoi An, and his heart was also gloomy.
