Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2097 North Manchurian Pattern ([-])

"Commander Wei, the list is here, please check it." Holding a bound roster, a staff officer hurried to Army Major Wei Wendu, stood at attention and saluted.

Wei Wendu took the roster and flipped through it casually.These are the lists of captured Qing army generals. There are about 100 people. There is a short description under each person's name, such as what position this person holds, what background he has, how many years he has lived in Manchuria, and whether he has any People on the east coast have to pay blood debts and so on.Wei Wendu didn't look too carefully, these people were all diehards, and some even had blood feuds with Dong'an, and keeping them would be a disaster, so they were all on the execution list, and they were executed together today.

It is said that it has been more than half a year since the people from the east bank occupied Ninggu Tower.Because of the extremely cold weather last winter, Major Wei Wendu, who led the army to attack Ningguta, had to postpone this military operation and waited until the temperature warmed up slightly in the beginning of spring before leading his troops over.

The first thing they wiped out was the outer wings of the Qing army in Ningguta, that is, they sent some elite troops to attack and break through some villages that were still interested in the Qing Dynasty. It was difficult to walk on the muddy land, and it was not a short distance from the main force.

Because of the Battle of Songshuwozi years ago, the Qing army in Ningguta suffered heavy losses and their morale fell, so they did not dare to go out of the city to fight the people on the east bank. They could only watch the villages outside the city being broken one by one. Crying and being tied up and taken away by the people from the east coast, I was very aggrieved.At this time, I don’t know if they remembered the wonderful scene of the Ming army “watching” when they treated the Ming people like this outside the city in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.I believe that if there are some older people around, they should express their emotions about the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi.

To be fair, the Qing army in the bitterly cold places outside the pass still has a certain combat effectiveness these days.After all, until the late Qing Dynasty in history, the soldiers here were not corrupted to the point of being unusable, not to mention that in this time and space, the Qing court was under greater pressure and the rate of corruption was slower.But the problem is that they encountered an enemy they hadn't seen in 3000 years. After years of painstaking efforts, the new Far East army was well-equipped, well-trained, and its tactics were more advanced, which was far beyond what the Qing army could match.Aside from talking about the distance, in the battle of Songshuwozi last year, all the Qing troops who participated in it were terrified and dared not speak out. The reason for being a turtle is really unbeatable!

The people on the east coast gathered the captured population outside the city, and then planned to disperse them and arrange them to settle in Hokkaido and other places for unified management.As for the land vacated here, it is actually very simple, immigrating from the south!It just so happened that this time Lianwu seized a lot of new land and arrested a lot of "rebellious parties". If the total number includes family members, there will always be 4 to 4000 people.A considerable number of these people will definitely be sent back to the mainland to supplement the exhausted immigration source.As for the rest, it must be to reward Denglai and others for their great efforts in the establishment of the Lianwu Management Committee.Although the Manchurian Pioneering Team did not contribute much, three or four thousand people will always be divided, which happens to be allocated to the Nen River and Songhua River in North Manchuria. At that time, some tribes who take the initiative to seek refuge will be relocated to live together. The things are basically That's it.

Of course, there are also people who worry about whether these people who live in the hot and humid places in Guangxi will be able to adapt to the bitter cold places in the Northeast.For this, Wei Wendu can only spread his hands, let him go!Of course, the three thousand captured Qing troops were exiled collectively to the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula?People have a strong ability to adapt. It is true that some of those people could not adapt to the harsh climate and died, but those who survived were all good men, and the proportion was very high. Don’t they all intermarry with the local natives now and settle down? ?

Furthermore, in the past 20 years, the population of Ningshao area has grown rapidly, and the phenomenon of small land and large population is very prominent. Therefore, many people immigrate to Denglei and even Manchuria every year, and they will adapt after a generation.A newborn child has been exposed to this climate since he was a child. When he grows up, if you let him go to the south, he may still feel uncomfortable.Therefore, the fate of the group of "rebellious party elements" in Guangxi was decided in this way. At least one tenth of them will live and settle in the northern Manchuria area, and spend their youth and sweat for the development of this virgin land.

After establishing the policy of emigrating to fill the vacancies, the people on the east bank were not polite to the Qing army who could not understand the situation in the Ningguta area, and all of them used harsh methods.For example, the more than 100 generals of the Qing Dynasty who are going to be beheaded today, if they were exiled to some place where the birds don't shit to do hard work in the past, they don't need it now, and they are all executed.Moreover, this execution was a public execution. The tribal leaders who accompanied Wei Wendu and the backbones of the nearby tribes who had surrendered were all called to watch the execution to strengthen their impression. Don't make mistakes in the future.

It would be ten o'clock in the morning.People on the east bank didn't pay much attention to beheading at three o'clock in the afternoon, so Wei Wendu directly signed his name at the end with a pen, then waved his hand and directly ordered the execution.The tribal soldiers from the Harbin Fort area did the work. Two of them were escorting a prisoner, and there was another person for execution and one for inspection. In a group of four, more than 100 people were executed in a short time.

Surprisingly, these prisoners were very silent when they were executed, few begged for mercy, and not many abused them. They seemed to have resigned to their fate, and revealed a sense of despair.Before the city was besieged by the people from the east coast, they sent messengers to the south to request retreat, but they were rejected very simply. At this time, they understood their fate, and they had already become abandoned children!

"After cleaning up this group of diehards, it doesn't mean that this place will be safe. The Qing court has been operating here for many years, and its influence is profound. It has to continue to dig deeper, and people on both sides must be dealt with." Hastily glanced at the bloody smell. Wei Wendu put on his coat and said to the officers and leaders who followed him: "The militiamen from the seven counties in the north of the Yangtze River should be sent back first. The tribal soldiers who came from Harbin should return in batches according to time, not all at once." They are all gone. I don’t trust many of the people who have taken refuge here, and I must continue to maintain a coercive posture. No one from the Third Infantry Regiment is allowed to leave. This year I will carry out two sweeps. The tribal leaders must go to study classes."

After listening to Wei Wendu's lecture, everyone nodded their heads one by one. The staff even took out their small notebooks and wrote down the main points. They were already thinking about how to arrange the troops in their minds.After a year of war in Ningguta, the local economic order has been greatly damaged, and it is not agreed to restore it. More than 8000 people gathered together, and the logistical pressure was not ordinary!Especially when the summer rainy season is approaching, this road is even more difficult, so we have to think carefully.

In addition, the possible counterattack of the Qing army should also be considered in the plan.Although the possibility of this matter is unlikely, it has to be guarded against!Ninggu Pagoda is not those insignificant wastelands in North Manchuria. In fact, it is an important place where the Qing court ruled North Manchuria. Once it is lost, it is impossible to say that they have no vibration. Therefore, we must take precautions. God knows what that guy Kangxi thinks .

"The work of building Ningguta's county will start this year." Major Wei Wendu said again: "I won't stay here for too long. The Qing army in Naowen City is ready to move, and the work of advancing the detachment in Hulunbuir also needs to be taken care of. After I leave, you will be responsible for everything here. I only want to control as many people as possible and develop the economy, and don’t let the things here distract me.”

Wei Wendu had already received a letter from Captain Lu from Vladivostok a few months ago, and learned that the more than 2000 people who went north from Vladivostok were doing relatively well, defeated many tribes that refused to surrender, and controlled a large area of ​​land.At the same time, with the cooperation of the five thousand birds sent by the Kingdom of Korea (actually, they used flintlock guns on the east coast), they went deep into the core area of ​​the Haixi Jurchen and fought all the way. I believe that after this year, they will be able to control Living in the vast area from the east of the Ussuri River to the sea (later Russia's Primorsky Krai), since then it has connected several isolated lands on the northern land of Manchuria into one piece, and its control has greatly increased.

In addition, the more than 1000 people who set off from Model Fort on the North Road also went smoothly, and it can even be said that they did not encounter any resistance.Every time they went to a tribe, they collected food and soldiers, and then headed eastward with troops that rapidly expanded like snowballs, penetrating the entire land all the way, and arriving at the shore of the Whale Sea.

It can be said that the crusade of the three groups of people has achieved complete success, and the people from the east bank no longer have any serious opponents in the land of North Manchuria.From now on, the area in the east can be naturalized and built with peace of mind. I believe that after one or two generations, it will be able to operate like an iron bucket.

With the relief of the worries in the east, Wei Wendu and even Lu Xiaofeng can devote all their energies to the area west of the Songhua River.Here, Naowen City and its surrounding areas are the first to be conquered, and then the Hulun Buir Grassland in Eastern Mongolia.The latter, in particular, is extremely critical to the future strategy of the Manchurian Pioneering Team and must be resolved as soon as possible.The Manchurian Pioneering Team has a Mongolian character in its name, and at the same time it has established a policy of a dual system of governance, so controlling the Hulunbuir Grassland has become a top priority.

Wei Wendu thought to himself that he didn't have much time. Galdan of Junggar and the Qing court fought back and forth on the Mongolian grasslands. The fight was wonderful, but the people on the east bank could only sit and watch. How could this work?Therefore, Wei Wendu is now in a hurry to return to Harbin Fort, and then rectify the supplies and manpower, rest and recuperate for a year, and then see the opportunity to join the Hulunbuir advance detachment, attack from east to west, first take down the unsightly Brain Wencheng, and start this advance into Mongolia First shot on the prairie!
