Chapter 105: Internal Sickness
Chapter 105: Internal Sickness
The first phase of the campaign to attack the Netherlands has finally come to an end, and all the troops in the entire Nanyang Theater have entered a period of recuperation! Thanks to their own equipment and strict training in peacetime, not too many Huojia soldiers died in the battle for the two islands, and the total number of soldiers was less than 500! Therefore, after replenishing some of the recruits from the second-line reserve troops, several participating units recovered their full combat strength!
However, although the two big islands were taken from the hands of the Dutch, the situation on the islands became a little strange because of the arrival of the Huo family's army!
Since the collapse of the Dutch East India Company in 1799 and the Dutch took over jurisdiction over the East Indies, Java has been the most intensively developed and heavily ruled by the Dutch in the entire East Indies! In particular, after the Javanese uprising led by Thibonigoro was suppressed from 1825 to 1830, in order to ensure its dominance here, the Netherlands not only placed more than half of the Dutch colonial army on the island of Java, but also gradually tightened the monitoring of various ethnic groups on the island!
Now, the army and colonial zhèngfǔ on the surface of the Dutch have been swept away, but many intelligence agencies buried in the shadows have taken the opportunity to hide! Although the intelligence bureau of the Huo Jiajun has also captured some with the help of the local Han people, because the military intelligence bureau has been established for too short a time, most of this spy net formed by the Dutch colonial zhèngfǔ has been retained!
"The young master's order has been issued, and the government council has agreed, Java Island is temporarily under military control, and you are the commander of the Java Island garrison, with jurisdiction over the 70,000 troops on the island, and the government affairs on the island are also in charge of the military management committee composed of our two divisions, this is a telegram sent by the military department and zhèngfǔ, you can take a look!" After Ren Bangding handed over the telegram in his hand, Shen Sè said calmly.
The content of the telegram was very short, and after Wang Xiangzong roughly skimmed it, he handed it over to Li Yunzhong, the political commissar of the Third Marine Division who was sitting beside him!
"It seems that the young master wants to sweep away all these ghosts and ghosts on Java Island!" Wang Xiangzong touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"It should be like this! But I still think that our Nanyang policy was good before, no matter what tricks he has, just send troops up and arrest him directly, how can he be so aggrieved as now!"
"Hehe, maybe the young master is also taking care of the attitude of the Government Council, and recently, I have heard that many people in the interior reflect that the methods of our army are too cruel, and they slaughter tens of millions at every turn, which is contrary to the peace-loving virtue of our Chinese nation!" Wang Xiangzong said with some mockery!
"I don't talk about virtue when I go to his nǎinǎi, these damn Nanyang monkeys, why didn't they talk about virtue when they followed behind the Dutch and slaughtered us Chinese, why didn't they talk about virtue when they plundered China during the two Opium Wars, and why didn't they talk about virtue when the Russian Empire occupied nearly a million square kilometers of our land in the north! I think these guys are just used to being comfortable, and they have all become fucking landlords and old wealth, and I don't know how to write the word dead!" Ren Bangding was angry and roared loudly!
Hearing his words, Wang Xiangzong couldn't help but nodded heavily, with the continuous development and growth of the Huo Jiajun, there are more and more personnel among them, more and more complicated, in order to control Taiwan Island and Hainan Island, Huo Jiajun bought all the Qing Dynasty officials on the two islands, and couldn't help but share a lot of benefits with them, and they also have a place in the Huo Jiajun Political Council, of course, there is also part of the reason for the lack of talents who are familiar with government affairs at the beginning of the establishment of the Government Affairs Yuan! In addition, coupled with the need to protect the secrets of the two islands from being leaked, as long as the Taiwanese officials of the Qing court who were willing to cooperate with Huo Jiajun basically stayed, of course, there were inevitably many hidden dangers buried in them!
"Don't worry, Brother Bang Ding, Young Master Tianzong is a genius, he won't know who is making trouble, when this time passes, after our own country is established, they should be unlucky!" Wang Xiangzong said coldly. Compared with Ren Bangding, he is much calmer and more rational, and he can see some of the problems in the Huo family army very clearly!
"Well, that's what you said!" Thinking of the young master's usual methods, Ren Bangding couldn't help but nod in agreement!
"Okay, the young master's military command has also come down, this time we have to take care of these unruly guys on Java Island! Moreover, telegrams from several other provinces have also been sent, so we must hurry up!" Li Yunzhong clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said with a smile.
"Well, what Lao Li said is also true, this time we will follow what the young master said, first arrest a batch of rebellion charges, and then the rest will be easy to say!" Wang Xiangzong also agreed.
When Huo Shan was thinking about how to deal with the natives of the two islands, he had considered many methods, but his determination to completely sweep away the natives who had become the source of Indonesia's dúlì in later generations and the initiators of repeated large-scale Chinese exclusions had never wavered!
"Did the telegram pass?" strolling through the beautiful garden of the back house, Huo Shan turned his head to Huo Dian who was following him and asked.
"It's already been sent!I believe that Wang Xiangzong will do what the young master wants!" Huo Dian replied calmly.
Hearing his words, Huo Shan nodded with a smile and continued, "Is there an eyebrow for the formation of the Security Bureau?"
The Security Bureau is the second intelligence agency set up by Huo Shan after the Military Intelligence Bureau, and unlike the Military Intelligence Bureau, which focuses too much on the military, and also different from the Supervision Department of the Government Affairs Yuan to prevent officials from embezzling and taking bribes, the tasks of the Security Bureau are more complicated and more comprehensive! Including the military, people's livelihood, science and technology, military and other aspects are under its supervision, although the functions of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Supervision are somewhat overlapping, but the special and secret aspects of the intelligence system make Huo Shan understand the importance of the balance of power!
"Well, after seconding some people from Huo Wolf's Military Intelligence Bureau, they have already put up the shelves!"
"Good job, then you should bother more about the Nanyang matter this time, it should be a practical test after the establishment of the Security Bureau!" Huo Shanshen said calmly.
"Understood, young master!"
"The work of the human resources department has been handed over to Ouyang Geng?"
Hearing the young master's words, Huo Dian smiled and replied: "Yes, young master! Ouyang Zhaoting is worthy of being a top student at Yale University in the United States, he did a good job in the human resources department, if it wasn't for the young master's warrant, Huo Tian would not be willing to let go!"
The reason why he deliberately kept these young children in the United States in his hands was because he took a fancy to their outstanding talents!
"It's a pity that we have to wait another year before they can gradually return to China, otherwise our government council will not be as embarrassed as it is now!" Huo Shan thought secretly in his heart.
"Young Master, now that those guys are getting more and more arrogant, can you just let them go?" Huo Dian, who had stopped talking, finally gritted his teeth and said slowly!
Hearing his words, Huo Shan's eyes immediately narrowed into a narrow slit, although the look on his face was still calm, but standing next to him, getting along for a long time, Huo Lei, who was familiar with the young master's habits, clearly knew that the young master's heart had surging infinite killing intentions!
When the teacher Huang Sheng came to him to report on the Nanyang indigenous issues, Huo Shan felt strange in his heart, because the teacher had always supported his policy of eliminating the natives in the past! So after that, Huo Shan specially explained Huo Wolf's investigation by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and everything came to light! It turned out that almost all of these opposing voices came from Qing officials at all levels in Taiwan and Hainan! In order to reduce the attention of the imperial court, ensure the secrecy of the Huo family, and be able to smoothly implement the policies of the Administrative Council, these officials who remained after the compromise made by Huo Shan have now become obstacles to the development of the Huo family's army!
"Huo Dian, after your security bureau is formed, keep these guys under close surveillance, if they are not satisfied, I will let them know the fate of the inch!" Huo Shan said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.
"Understood, young master!" Huo Dian nodded and said.
