Chapter 197 Pyongyang's Initial Determination of the Prototype of the Puppet Army
Chapter 197 Pyongyang initially determines the prototype of the puppet army
In the past, I saw that in the military materials, the invading Japanese army created "mass graves" one after another, and those people with shovels and hoes and numb faces dug their own graves, and then were driven into the pits like pigs and sheep to be buried alive. Yu Feng has choked these deceased souls more than once, how can people endure numbness to such a point?
However, after a few days in Pyongyang, Yu Feng knew that he was wrong, and when it comes to the degree of numbness in this world, there is really no most numbness, only more numbness, and the Chinese under the bayonets seem to be small compared to the Korean nationals under their own muskets.
After a night of turmoil, coupled with the unsparing agitation and propaganda of the new left-behind Chi Changqing, most of the people in Pyongyang should know that the rulers of Pyongyang at this moment are no longer those old men wearing official uniforms, but these Ming people wearing cyan short jackets and holding long guns and cannons. According to Yu Feng's imagination, being ruled by a foreign race is a rather painful thing, and it is a matter of course to organize a "rebel army" such as a guerrilla force to fight against the Fengzi battalion. This point, whether it is the Japanese army invading China or the US military in Iraq later, is a good proof of this.
However, the development of the matter simply shocked his jaw, the vast majority of Pyongyang residents, although there is no warm welcome posture for the Fengzi battalion to enter Pyongyang, but there is almost no resistance, patrolling soldiers, walking on the streets, is as safe as patrolling the streets of the new city.
If it is not safe, it is that those big girls and daughters-in-law are too enthusiastic, although Yu Feng strictly ordered the soldiers not to go out of the camp alone for non-military operations, and if they want to leave the camp, they must be approved by their superiors, and two or more people are allowed to go out in full armor. However, no matter how strict the military order is, it can't resist the enthusiasm of these women, and the posture is like robbing relatives, seeing the young men of the Fengzi Battalion who are not on duty, they have to pull them home one by one, so that at first these soldiers did not know each other's intentions, and injured a few people. As for the language barrier, it doesn't matter, many things can be done without speaking.
"The Ming people are so popular in North Korea?" Yu Feng really didn't think about this problem, in Xincheng, no North Koreans dared to do this to these soldiers, and even the soldiers passed by their residences, they all lay on the ground one by one, waiting for these soldiers to pass, they got up and did their own work, that is purely the attitude of serfs to their masters and nobles, compared with these free people in Pyongyang, their status is indeed a little lower, they are untouchables, and these free people in Pyongyang are obviously good people, compared with the untouchables at the bottom of society, They have more rights and freedoms.
And in Changyuan, because Cui Yanghao was strictly guarded, he didn't even enter Changyuan City at all, so he didn't know the attitude of these Korean freemen towards the Ming people.
These Koreans, about the ancestors of the "Hari" and "Hami" clans in later generations, the current Ming Dynasty, even if it is internal and external troubles, in the eyes of these Koreans, it still looks very bright and powerful, and they even use the calendar, which is the Ming calendar, you can imagine, for the scope of their own lives, suddenly appeared in groups of Ming people, what is the perception.
Moreover, in Chi Changqing's propaganda, these Celestial Dynasty armies are here to help them, just like thirty or forty years ago, from the distant Ming Dynasty to save the Korean people from the dire situation. These residents have a good impression of these Ming people. There was a night of turmoil, and many residents died under the sabers of the chaos, of course, the rebels will not admit that they did it, only that it was the Houjin Tartars who did it. And the timely appearance of the Celestial Empire's army drove out the Tartars and stationed them to protect Pyongyang. These families who have lost their loved ones, in addition to hating the Tartars who do all kinds of evil, the rest is deep gratitude to the Fengzi Camp.
To put it simply, Yu Feng's puppet plan was very successful. Ji Changqing and his officials have successfully taken over various departments in Pyongyang and put the city back up and running. The unexpected bonus is that the Fengzi Battalion, the de facto occupying force, is not only not hostile, but also quite popular.
Of course, there are not people who are completely without resistance, these people, including the two parts, for a while, the officials of the original Pyongyang management, for one reason or another, were excluded from the management class by Chi Changqing, and they are naturally very dissatisfied with the current situation. The other part, that is, when the city was suppressed, some of the former North Korean soldiers who took off their military uniforms and hid among the people, they were originally Pyongyang, and they were ordinary people when they took off their military uniforms.
For the first kind of people, Yu Feng is very empathetic to help Chi Changqing deal with them, these people are the most unstable factor in Pyongyang, Yu Feng will never let them affect his overall situation, of course, kill them all, there is no need for that, Chi Changqing is now holding the sword of Shang Fang for nepotism, he doesn't use this part of the people, it must be that he usually discords, or political views, anyway, they are some people who are very undesirable. Except for some people who have been screened and will never be used by Yu Feng, the rest of the people, Yu Feng has thrown all his brains into the original prison in Pyongyang, he thinks that the existence of these people may be more able to stimulate Chi Changqing's family to work hard, and whoever knows that he is in danger of being replaced at any time, I am afraid that he must first make some achievements to protect his position.
As for the second type of people, Yu Feng did not come forward directly, but gave Chi Changqing an idea, although these soldiers from Pyongyang, although they lost their weapons and took off their uniforms, but, after all, they still have some military training, these people, Yu Feng can't use them, and they can't let them go to the people, so it is naturally more appropriate to unify and restrain them. At present, although there are barely some officials under this Chi Changqing, there are no semi-armed forces such as government servants. If these people are organized, then to a large extent, the problem of law and order in Pyongyang can be solved, and there will be no big disputes, and the military horses of the Fengzi battalion will be dispatched.
Chi Changqing is as good as a stream, in fact, even if Yu Feng doesn't say it, he also has this idea, when it comes to grasping power, he is in this position, he doesn't need anyone to teach him at all, if he doesn't even have this idea, he really can't be a qualified bureaucrat.
Although this "left-behind on behalf of Yu Feng" was given by Yu Feng at the moment, if he really mastered a certain amount of strength, not to mention that in front of other North Korean officials, his waist would be straight, even in front of Yu Feng, he would have a little more confidence to talk. He didn't dare to do it before, because he was afraid of violating Yu Feng's taboo, and with Yu Feng's permission in front of him, how could he not do anything special.
It's a pity that Yu Feng has set up a quota for him, the number of these people, at most is a thousand households, this is Yu Feng's bottom line, he will not do that kind of thing to raise tigers, if this is hundreds of thousands of people, according to his assessment of the combat strength of the North Korean soldiers, the Fengzi battalion will be able to dispatch a few hundred households of soldiers, it should be able to do it, even if these people, what kind of moths, he will not be worried.
Yu Feng also saved some thoughts, that is, the Fengzi battalion has a limited source of soldiers, although the conditions for expanding the army are now there, but it is impossible for him to recruit a large number of North Koreans in North Korea, if that is the case, who will assimilate who does not know, after all, the Ming people in North Korea, there are so many, and they have to rely on themselves to attract people to come over, and the Korean natives are everywhere.
Think about the country of the United States in later generations, that time when he sent troops to fight, he was not followed by a group of younger brothers, these little brothers may fight at all, but when they get together, the momentum is not small. It is not possible to count on these North Korean soldiers to be of great use, but if they operate well, they can create a "puppet army" that obeys their orders, maintain law and order, transport baggage, and even strengthen their momentum, which is not bad. Even the puppet government is there, what's so strange about one more puppet army.
Of course, this is just his idea, and whether this idea can become a reality depends on how things develop. The original North Korean army was stationed in Pyongyang, which was mainly to prevent the Houjin Tatars from going south, and now the North Korean army was driven away by him, and he had to shoulder the task of resisting the Houjin Tatars, and such a large city, for his thousands of soldiers, the defense was still very insufficient, and it was not surprising that he had such an idea.
"Pyongyang is lost!?" When the Korean lord Li Liang received this news, it was already ten days later, and his first reaction was to send another envoy to immediately seek help from the Ming Dynasty. What's more, in the city of Pyongyang, almost the standing armies of the three northern provinces were all gathered here, and Pyongyang was lost, and these armies were obviously either annihilated by Houjin or dispersed. Even if he has an army, he will not fill in the bottomless pit, and this Pyongyang can obviously be abandoned compared to holding on to Seoul.
"Pyongyang has been reclaimed!" Two days later, the news diametrically opposed to the previous one was reported again, at this time, Li Liang could not distinguish the truth from the false, to say that the Houjin people abandoned the city after a plunder, and the scattered soldiers took the opportunity to "recover" Pyongyang, he believed a few points, but this military report, it was clearly written that the Pyongyang rebels regained Pyongyang with the assistance of the "Velasco Business Group", what is this Velasco Business Group?
Oh, I think about it, it's something that the kid from the Cui family is tinkering with, and it seems to be a little impressed. Li Liang usually has so many affairs, and he can think of this, but when Cui Yanghao got the loan agreement, he took his father's way, and his father Cui Tan was in the right side of the government, and he was the master who dangled in front of Li Kun's eyes when he had nothing to do.
"Go, tell Choi to talk about it, I want to find out, what is this Velasco business group, what is going on, and how can it appear in Pyongyang!"
