Chapter 319: Boliwa and Martin Sun
The news that the former military governor's office captured Kampala City, and the Monu troops absorbed the local residents and transferred under their command was sent to Zhu Jingyuan as soon as possible.
Zhu Jingyuan's position has become the governor of Yinzhou, and he is no longer in charge of the overall affairs of the former military capital and Mozhou, but the central area of East Mozhou is Zhu Jingyuan's feudal territory.
Kampala is located on the shore of Daming Lake, the Mozhou Grand Canyon and the area east of it, and it is Zhu Jingyuan's personal land.
It is also the location of Zhu Jingyuan's planned nursing home.
Zhu Jingyuan was very happy when he saw the news, and was ready to start developing it when the railway was completed.
In the name of the Great Food Country and oneself, we will develop it, build infrastructure, and then gradually resettle the immigrants.
The original environment will be gradually cleaned up and repaired into a modern green environment.
Find the closest island to the equator in Daming Lake as a place to build a nursing home in the future.
Pick it out in advance, set it aside, and don't use it for other purposes.
The relevant construction and development instructions were done and sent to the officials of the big food country to deal with.
Then Zhu Jingyuan looked at another piece of news, the important military news report of Xintianfu.
"The leader of the White Ghost Rogue Bandits, Ao Xijin (O'Higgins), officially surrendered and obtained the citizenship of ordinary Dongyi Kingdom, and was allowed to carry up to 10,000 silver banknotes and family property to live in Dongyi Guolin County (Brooklyn, New York)."
After Ao Xijin surrendered, the main leaders of the "White Ghost Liukou" in the entire Yinzhou were only two left: Bolivar (Bolívar) and Sun Martin (San Martin).
According to the officials of the New Tianfu, now that the "two thieves of sowing grandsons" have also reached the end of the mountains and rivers, the day of the award of the head is not far away.
Martin Sun and Boliwa were both self-proclaimed kings.
The name of the country, as well as the name of the capital, is directly in the name of the two men.
The place where Sun Martin was founded, in the deepest western part of the Brazilian Plateau, around the city of Cuyabá.
This is almost exactly the geographical center of the entire South Yin Chau.
The area is also the watershed between the Yajiang (Amazon) and Milky Way (Paraná-La Plata) basins, and the border between the Yajiang rainforest and the Brazilian grassland.
The northern part of the area is primeval forest, and the southern part of the Paraguay Basin has large swamps.
There are several nearly parallel mountain ranges to the west, and a large plateau plateau to the east.
This is a semi-enclosed area.
The city of Sun Martin was originally located on the eastern plateau plateau of the region, near a small town called Shapada dos Gimarangins.
On the plateau plateau, as well as underneath the plateau, there are large areas of flat land, and the rain and heat are enough for the rice to be harvested three times a year.
The original natural vegetation is still grassland, and the land is more fertile than the rainforest.
Before industrialization, it was relatively easy to divide the area after occupying it.
During the years of the World War, Martin Sun built this place as his own kingdom.
Starting from a few pioneer colonies, the peasants were organized to continuously cut down trees and burn wasteland, realizing self-sufficiency in food.
Constantly unite or annex surrounding colonies to gain more land, population, and machinery.
Martin Sun gathered industrial facilities in various places, set up some rudimentary factories, and had basic industrial production capacity.
While expanding, they often looked for suitable opportunities to enter the cities in the Portuguese rear and seize more necessary supplies.
The Brazilian troops fought against the Ming on the border, and there was no spare strength to besiege these separatist forces.
The kingdom has developed well in the first few years, with the area of control constantly expanding, and a large number of colonies being incorporated into the new kingdom.
Some other self-reliant princes also pledged their allegiance to Sun Martin and became vassals of Sun Martin's kingdom.
At one point, Martín occupied a small half of the Brazilian plateau and was preparing to move the capital to what would become Brasilia.
The capital of the kingdom of Boliva was Medellín, the second largest city in Colombia in later generations.
Medellín is located in the Andes Mountains, with a tropical rainforest climate that should have been hot and rainy all year round.
But Medellín is almost 1,500 meters above sea level, which partially offsets the air temperature that has accumulated in the tropics.
The temperature is kept in the range of 17 to 28 degrees all year round, with little change throughout the year.
However, the rain has not been counteracted, with an average annual precipitation of more than 2,000 millimetres, and 227 days of rain a year.
There are many similar cities in the northern part of South Yinzhou.
Just because of the different altitudes in the mountains, the constant temperature ranges vary slightly from city to city.
The two mountain plateaus next to Medellín are at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and the temperature remains between 13 and 22 degrees Celsius all year round.
Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is 2,600 meters above sea level, and the temperature remains between 9 and 20 degrees Celsius all year round.
Because the temperature of the local plains was too high, in order to find a cool place, the city had to be built on valleys and terraces.
Boliwa started a little later than Martin Sun, but he developed faster than Martin Sun.
At one point, Boliva occupied almost the entire Viceroyalty of New Granada.
Including Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador in later generations.
The Spaniards were once left with only a few strongholds, including Bogotá, the capital of New Granada.
This is also due to the fact that most of these strongholds are located in the mountains, and most of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
By the time of the armistice of the World War, the two kingdoms in the depths of the plateau and the mountains and forests had already taken on the posture of modern states.
Martín Sun's development on the Brazilian plateau severely weakened the Portuguese-Brazilian power.
The development of Boliva in New Granada also greatly involved the power of the Spaniards.
Let the already advantageous Daming New Tianfu troops advance faster.
It was also an important reason why it was difficult for Portugal and Spain to maintain their rule and continue the war.
However, if you look at it the other way, Daming's offense is also one of the important reasons for the development of Boliwa and Sun Martin.
When the world war officially ceased to be there, the atmosphere between the two kingdoms instantly became tense.
The Ming and the anti-Ming alliance began peace talks, the troops on the front line ceased fire, and the two sides began to retreat in an orderly manner.
After Sun Martin got the news, he immediately declared a state of siege and began to make every effort to strengthen the defensive positions around the territory.
】
The Portuguese troops of the Brazilian colony were in desperate need of repair, and after retreating from the front line, they did not attack the kingdom of Sun Martin.
The kingdom of St. Martin was given another half a year of respite.
However, Boliva accelerated his assault on Bogotá, intending to take off this key stronghold at the last minute.
After the Spaniards lost the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, more forces were transferred and successfully fended off Boliva's attack, so that Boliva also had to start to shrink his defense.
Then it didn't take long for the situation to take a turn for the worse, and the Ming Dynasty signed peace treaties with Portugal, Spain, Britain, and France, and the entire Southern Yin Continent was returned to the Ming Dynasty.
After Da Ming obtained the ownership of the entire Southern Yin Continent, he directly sent the surrender conditions and ultimatum to the two of them.
If the two of them surrendered directly at that time, they could both be named the earls of the Ming Shang Kingdom and move to the eastern city to enjoy their old age in peace.
But the expectations of the two of them are much higher than this.
They all want to become independent vassal states like Egypt and Persia, and they want to directly become the princes of the Ming Dynasty.
They didn't like the earls of the subordinate vassal states, so they sent people to bargain.
But the Ming did not give them a chance to bargain, so the three-year war against bandits began.
There are two major parts of the Ming Dynasty's anti-bandit troops, the naturalized Yin servant soldiers and the Xintianfu Huangzhuang troops.
Both units are modern peasant soldiers, and they are all from farms at all levels in Xintianfu.
Their weaponry, tactical ability, and will to fight are among the best in today's world.
And the troops of the two were still feudal in nature.
The main leaders and participants of the historical Nanyinzhou Liberation Movement were all local native white farmers.
The real purpose of these farmers is to divide up their families and get more land in the process.
This process has little to do with ordinary people, because it does not touch the local production relations.
After independence, it was still the manor owners who controlled the means of production and maintained a plantation-based economic model.
It's just that this part of the manor landlords has separated from the nobles of the original suzerain.
In essence, it is a conflict of interests within the group of manor owners.
The behavior of Sun Martin and others in this world now is different from the original history.
They are now closer to the rebellion of the Shenzhou model.
The purpose is more simple and pure, that is, to be a king and a real high-ranking nobleman.
Although they learned the system of Shenzhou, they did it very inthoroughly.
The original imperial courts of the Taixi countries were not thoroughly studied, let alone the lords of the colonial estates.
Their purpose was to become nobles themselves, so how could they divide the land equally among the peasants?
They instinctively continued to use the traditional feudal manor system, driving the people of the time to use them as serfs.
Such an organizational form, if the weapon factor is excluded, even in the face of the regular army in the early stage of the Shenzhou Dynasty, they will not have any advantage.
Facing the current Xintianfu Huangzhuang troops, it was a little stunned.
In the past two years or so, the Ming Dynasty's anti-bandit forces have won successes one after another.
The rebellious princes led by the two sons continued to lose their land.
By May of the third year of Ankang, all the princes except for the two sons had been exterminated or surrendered.
The two of them were already trapped in the narrow area where the lair was located.
Martin Sun returned to Martin City.
This land of mountains, jungles, and swamps is easily accessible only to the highland plateaus in the east.
Martin Sun built a large number of trenches here.
Boliva's forces shrank to Medellín and the two surrounding mesas.
A large number of trench lines were also built.
It is not bad for the officials of the New Tianfu to say that the "two thieves" have been exhausted, but the day of the award of the head is not far away, which is not a big deal.
But in the end, these two battles are certainly not very easy to fight.
Especially in Boliwa, the whole lair is surrounded by mountains, and there are no normal roads at all.
It is difficult to transport heavy weapons in, even if it is to rush with servant soldiers, Zhu Jingyuan is a little reluctant.
Zhu Jingyuan considered the situation ahead in his heart and went to find a local map to the west.
Take a ruler and make a few gestures on the map.
"The area of these two people's nests is only about 10,000 square kilometers, and there is enough flat land 200 kilometers away.
"Anyway, the two of them can't run away now, so it's better to be a target training organization for strategic bombing.
"Sun Martin City is more than 1,200 kilometers away from the harbor city controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the transport planes can reach the vicinity of the battlefield, so if it is not enough, you can find a suitable place to transfer and refuel.
"The city of Boliva (Medellín) is only two or three hundred kilometers away from the harbor, and it can be attacked directly with aircraft carriers."
Zhu Jingyuan carefully considered various situations, and then went to write two telegram orders.
Ordered the front-line bandit suppression troops, there is no need to rush to occupy these two areas, just temporarily block their way out.
At the same time, find suitable areas around the lairs of both sides and build a simple large-scale front-line combat airfield.
Transport planes are used to deliver explosives to front-line airfields, and bombers are used to attack the enemy's vital facilities.
First military production facilities, then the means of production and subsistence, and finally the population.
"I don't believe you can build enough bomb shelters in this era......"
The efficiency of an airplane is not at the same level as that of an airship.
The airships of the First World War era can only be regarded as a deterrent force.
The airship itself is difficult to make, and the flight speed is very slow, making it difficult to carry out continuous and intensive air attacks.
In this context, the imperial court of a regular country may not necessarily build a special air defense facility.
Not to mention a warlord anti-king-level organization like Bosun......
At this time, using an aircraft capable of carrying out continuous bombing on the battlefield should be regarded as a real dimensionality reduction strike.
The agility and sortie efficiency of an airship are not at all an order of magnitude higher than that of an airship.
The battlefield of Yinzhou to suppress bandits was originally a testing ground for Zhu Jingyuan's air-ground armored coordinated strike strategy.
Originally, a large number of planes were transferred to various battlefields in New Tianfu.
Now, as long as the offensive is temporarily stopped and more planes are concentrated and used, the strategic bombing effect can be formed.
"The two liberators of Yinzhou can be regarded as the earliest experiencer of strategic bombing in history, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives......
"At this time of preparing for the bombing, we can also have another negotiation to persuade them to surrender and give them one last chance."
Referring to the treatment of O'Higgins and other high-ranking white ghost rogue leaders, he surrendered in exchange for a chance to live.
The two leaders, Boliwa and Sun Martin, can be sent to Dongyi Kingdom as ordinary people, and their soldiers and civilians can be sent to repair the canal.
The canal project required workers, almost unlimited labor.
There are already 80,000 Ming immigrants in the local area, all of whom have been mobilized to be foremen, plus the craftsmen and foremen of Xintianfu who are supported by the countries of Northern Yinzhou, should be able to manage more than one million laborers.
If you don't care about casualties, you might really be able to dig the canal in just five or six years.
When the front-line anti-bandit troops received Zhu Jingyuan's order, they were a little hesitant.
His Royal Highness Prince Daishi's tactics are suitable to try, and the previous tactics have been proven to be very effective.
Now this strategic bombing should be to avoid casualties and exchange fuel and ammunition for the collapse of the opponent's army.
The effect should be similar to the continuous bombardment of artillery, but now the artillery can't go up, so try it with an airplane?
But if you are persuaded to surrender during the preparation period, what if the two of them really surrender?
