Rebirth of South America as King

In the last days of the dynasty, the government's arms were slack and officials were seriously corrupted. Sun Bin bought several principal officials in Guang'an Province by sending seven thousand two silvers through the hands of several Chinese businessmen. A large and small peasant army scattered in Guang'an Province opened an office in Annan. With one eye closed and pampered, he quickly gathered to the Halong area.

Rich and rich, don't panic. The northern part of Annan was bitterly rushed out by the Qing army to smash the ducks. Hearing that there was plenty of money and food in Halong, the Chinese in the vicinity swarmed.

The news spread for more than ten days. Not only did the large Chinese forces in Guang'an rush to Halong for refuge, but the Chinese in Langshan, Beijiang, Haiyang and other nearby areas also came.

The increasing number of Chinese people gathered has attracted the attention of officials in the nearby province of Annan. At the junction of Guangan Province and other provinces, there have been ongoing conflicts between the Annan garrison and the Chinese armed forces.

The number of Chinese people gathered exceeded Sun Bin's expectations. As a last resort, Sun Bin once again took out silver to take care of Annan garrisons in various places, while spreading news to temporarily stop recruiting Chinese.

On both sides, the large-scale surge of people going down to the dragon continued for nearly a month, and the total number of Chinese people also exceeded 10,000.

Most of the more than 10,000 Chinese who fled were mostly fleeing peasants living in fortresses, and half were remnants of the anti-Qing peasant army.

The war between Guangdong and Guangxi has not subsided for more than ten years. First, there was a large-scale fighting with locals, followed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the peasant army divided from the local area continued to conduct tug-of-war and guerrilla wars with the Qing army. The common people must not only worry about the peasant army's carrying around, but also guard against the scourge of the Qing army.

The banditry is over, the soldiers are overwhelming, and the Qing army is extremely poorly disciplined. After each battle, the local people must be harmed. Therefore, the border peasants who cannot survive in the gap between the Qing army and the peasant army have left their hometown and fled to Annan to escape the war.

Annan fled a large number of Chinese peasants of various ethnicities. After Wu Yazheng's peasant army was defeated by the Qing army, Liu Yongfu, Huang Chongying and others set up a recruiting banner, and soon gathered a group of troops.

The peasant army of Liu Yongfu, Huang Chongying, and other ministries did not have a stable source of money and food. The number of strong soldiers under their hands could only maintain a basic level, but Sun Bin was different. In order to obtain a sufficient number of immigrants, Li Mingyuan allocated 3 million in the first batch. The two silvers will be used as funding, and there will be funds to continue investing in the future.

Among the various units of the Qing Army, the number of Zeng Guofan ’s Xiang Army is the most abundant. Each soldier gives out four or two silvers in a month, plus five or sixty-two rewards a year, which is enough for the soldiers to live a sufficient life and go from exile. The young Chinese soldiers in the Annan area are naturally not as high as the Huai Army. Qualified soldiers are temporarily two or two silvers a month. At the same time, as long as they are selected, they will be paid five or two silvers. After waiting for the transport fleet to arrive, he left Annan two months later.

The layers were selected, and the Chinese who were thin and older were eliminated. A total of 1,500 lilies were young and strong. The remaining 13 thousand Chinese who were not selected were transported to Natuna. The rest were repaired in Halong. .

Among the 1,500 young and strong, there are three hundred Yao and Zhuangshan people. Sun Bin made these three hundred people into mountain camps alone, with Chen Shangfa as the battalion commander, and the remaining 1,200 and three hundred National Defense Army soldiers were mixed into A regiment with A Chen as the commander, Chen Zongbai, Ye Chenglin, and Wu Fengdian as the three battalions.

The 1st Regiment Nanyang Regiment, Independence Mountain Battalion, two temporary formations of 1,800 soldiers, plus the 300 militia forces remaining on Natuna Island, the total number of IDF troops in Nanyang is more than 2,000.

One month passed in a busy period. During this period, Ye Chenglin met with Wu Yazhong and took a messenger sent by Wu Yazhong to visit the two forces of Liu Yongfu and Huang Chongying. After the letter, Huang Chongying and Liu Yongfu agreed to obey the advice of the old master, no matter what their thoughts were, they stopped talking and no longer attacked each other.

After walking through three places, when Ye Chenglin returned, the work of recruiting scattered Chinese had been completed, and the young people who had recovered after a week of rehabilitation also began formal training.

In the offshore area of ​​Halong, the area of ​​the original dilapidated village has expanded by more than ten times. On the wasteland leveled into a training ground, Sun Bin pointed to the young soldiers who were training: "This is what I and my brothers recruited in January. One thousand and five hundred young people, how do Brother Ye see them? "

"Without returning in January, I don't want Mr. to recruit a young and strong army. It is not difficult for him to train a little more than the leader Wu's troops." The young and strong training on the wasteland worked hard. Ye Chenglin unconsciously brought them and Wu Yashen together. Contrast, praise.

"Although the leader of Wu's army has been in the battlefield for a long time, after all, it is not a regular field army. The target of the army we want to train is the Qing Army. It may not be possible to fight the French army in the future. Some of the Defence Force officers will arrive in the transport fleet, and when the Ye brothers talk with them, they will gain a lot. "

"Brothers of the National Defense Forces have fought in South America for more than a year. The opponents are Americans. The combat experience is not comparable to ours. When they arrive next time, they will also ask my husband to introduce them, so I can learn from them."

Ye Cheng humbled.

"Know the heroes and cherish the heroes. Brother Ye has fought bravely. After the arrival of the Brotherhood of the National Defense Forces from South America, they will certainly be happy to discuss their experience with Brother Ye."

Ye Chenglin was confined to the mountains of northern Annan, and his reputation was not obvious, but Sun Bin was very optimistic about his future and believed that joining the National Defense Forces would soon find his own place.

Talked to Ye Chenglin for a while about the new recruits, and the two walked to a high slope.

"Nearly 30 square kilometers of land has just been bought from Annan officials, and hereafter will be our stronghold in Annan."

"Although the land of 30 square kilometers is not small, the Chinese people who have joined us have more than 10,000 people. It is not difficult to support more than 10,000 people in this place."

Ye Chenglin was an armed leader occupying a small piece of land a month ago. He clearly understood the difficulties of supporting an armed group, so he quickly pointed out the disadvantages of development here.

"Brother Ye is right, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Halong is close to Annan's gateway to Haiphong. The big noise here will arouse the vigilance of the Annan court, so we need to find another place to serve as an immigration base.

"Has Mr. Sun already chosen the place?" Ye Chenglin asked.

"Yes, Brother Ye is guessing where?"

"Immigrants are to be transported from the sea. The main ports in northern Annan are Haiphong, Halong, Jinpu, and Mangjie. Excluding Haiphong and Halong, Jinpu and Mangjie are left. Make one base? "

Ye Chenglin bowed his head and thought for a while, and replied.

"It's also not right. Not only Jinpu and Mengjie need to be in our hands, but the three provinces of Haining, Beijiang and Langshan will also be fully occupied in the near future. Otherwise, they will only occupy tens of hundreds of square kilometers of land. When can I complete the task assigned by Shizi? "

The immigrants required by Rio Grande do Sul are not tens of thousands, but millions or more. Li Mingyuan does not have time to emigrate slowly. Sooner or later, a large number of immigrants will have conflicts with the Manchu dynasty, so they occupy the Annan border with the mainland. Province is an indispensable part of the overall situation.

"Is Mr. Sun's occupation of the three provinces of Annan at one time too big? Although Annan's army is not capable, King Annan will then ask the Qing Army for help. In this way, our army is on both sides and the situation is very dangerous."

"The plan to occupy the three border provinces will be advanced step by step. Now all we have to do is to occupy the first province of Hai'an, and then to communicate with all the Han forces in Annan before proceeding to the next step."

"There are millions of Han people in Annan. If unified with all Han forces, and His Royal Highness provided weapons and arsenal, even the Qing army could attack the country.

Hearing Sun Bin's explanation, Ye Chenglin let go of the extra worry and agreed.
