Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 737 Defense Force

"Damn it, let them run away again!"

A British military officer cursed loudly, raised his foot suddenly, and kicked towards the abandoned tent in front of him, but he suddenly felt something blocking him.

From the bushes, with a whoosh, a sharp bamboo stick shot out, and it just hit the officer's stomach, but it didn't penetrate half an inch, not deep.But he immediately felt that the wound was not painful, but a tingling sensation.

poisonous!

The officer screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The soldiers who followed him were also shocked, and rushed over, dragging the officer, and were about to retreat.But in a panic, a soldier stepped on a grass field, and there was an explosion immediately.

The right foot was blown off, and a bone was "exposed" outside.Immediately, the soldier let out a shrill cry, and the others were also frightened.They didn't come here to encircle and suppress the mob, they clearly fell into the net of heaven and earth, they hurriedly picked up the injured comrades, and ran away immediately.

While escaping, another British soldier stepped into the trap, and when the others came to take a look, their scalps were numb.The two-meter-deep trap is filled with upside-down bamboo sticks, and these bamboo sticks have been roasted with fire, which is no different than ordinary swords. They have pierced people's lives through candied haws, and there is no hope of rescue. up.

These British soldiers couldn't care about him anymore, so they could only run away. Just as the dozen or so people were running away in a panic, they happened to come to a river ditch.Two fishing boats stopped at one side, and they were carrying the wounded, who happened to be transported by boat, so four or five soldiers ran towards the fishing boat.

"anyone there?"[

The British shouted loudly, but there was no echo.Two British soldiers fired two shots at the fishing boat, and they passed through, but there was no one there. These British soldiers rushed over, trying to get the boat away.But suddenly in the dense forest on the side.There were five or six loud bangs almost simultaneously.

A dense sheet of iron sand hit them, and these British soldiers were immediately covered. Even the luckiest ones received more than a dozen of them. Their bodies were beaten like a sieve, and they fell to the ground in pain.Blood stained the river red.

The remaining British soldiers hurriedly fired towards them, trying to rush over, but on the other side of the creek, several sniper rifles were already aimed at them.Crackling, crackling, and another four or five British soldiers were blown out of their heads.The remaining three British soldiers were completely frightened. They put down their weapons, raised their hands high, and chose to become prisoners.

At this time, all the militiamen who ambushed them gradually rushed over, and it was Li Xun who was in charge of commanding them.After such a long period of development, Nanyang's resistance force has been scaled up, and the soldiers sent here have also matured rapidly.They have learned how to fight in the rainforest.

Extract toxins from all kinds of plants and animals, and then make all kinds of traps, just make simple sub-mines, camouflage sneak attacks, everything is handy.Moreover, their team expanded rapidly, especially when Xu Shuzheng came to Nanyang more than two months ago.

Since then, these resistance forces in Nanyang have leaders, and their development momentum is very rapid.A large number of Chinese who could not bear the oppression were involved.In addition to the Chinese, some local aborigines were also absorbed. In short, all that could deal with the British and Dutch colonial "government" were used.

The training of these militiamen who joined later was seriously insufficient, and they were in the dense forest.It is difficult to shoot accurately, so they are all equipped with shotguns, and there are a large number of them.They even established their own base in the dense forest, and set up earthen workshops in it, specializing in the production of various earthen weapons.

Don't underestimate these resistance forces. Because the training and combat concepts they received are far ahead of this era, they have caused great damage to the British. Over the past few months, more than 200 British soldiers have been killed. A large number of British plantations and mines were attacked, causing tens of millions of economic losses.

Young people like Li Xun quickly became the backbone of these resistance teams. He looked at the three British soldiers, waved his hands, and asked them to drag them in front of the recruits.

"One person, one knife, chop them all up!"

These young soldiers who had just killed a few British with shotguns were still in a state of excitement, but when they heard this order suddenly, they were at a loss for what to do.

Li Xun sneered: "Can't do it anymore? Have you softened your heart? When did these bastards soften their hands when they were against China? Think about your relatives who died unjustly. I will give you 3 minutes. If they are still alive, Get out of here!"

Finally, when Li Xun turned around, there was a shrill scream, and the three British soldiers quickly turned into corpses, and then they were thrown into the river, where they became a delicious meal for fish and shrimp.

The chaos in Southeast Asia became more and more serious. It started in Sarawak, then spread to the entire Borneo, and finally even Malaya became unstable. Due to this situation, it could even burn to Myanmar and even India.

This is equivalent to the collapse of the British colonial order in the Far East. The British are simply devastated. In fact, they also guessed that the Chinese "government" may be behind it. [

In addition, the two warships originally planned to be sent to China, after arriving in Singapore, could never leave again and were used to stabilize the situation in Nanyang.

The family has a big business, and there are also worries. The British Empire, which never sets on the sun, used to be so majestic, but now it has reached the afterglow of the setting sun. There are beacon fires everywhere and holes everywhere. large-scale war.

In the end, the British also had to sit down with China and honestly negotiated a new agreement. Britain revoked the concessions in Tianjin, Hankou, Jiujiang, Zhenjiang, Xiamen and other places, and only retained the Shanghai public concession.In addition, give up the right to garrison troops in the Xin Chou Treaty.

Abandon consular jurisdiction, abandon Boxer indemnity, set up a special loan liquidation committee to sort out various loans between China and Britain, and re-determine the repayment amount based on the principle of non-payment of bad debts.

On the issue of tariffs, the UK will return all customs to China for management, but in order to ensure a smooth transition, China needs to hire British staff for three years...

There are many things, but a few signed in total, basically abolishing all kinds of privileges that Britain has seized since the Opium War, except for the Shanghai International Settlement and the Hong Kong issue.

Shanghai’s public concession involves too many countries, and Zhang Tinglan also wants to keep an open port. After all, Shanghai is still the most dynamic region in China’s economy, and its development and utilization cannot be separated from foreign capital. However, the form of the concession must be changed. Diplomacy The ministry has already started negotiations.

The last issue is Hong Kong. Both sides have tacitly ignored this point. Zhang Tinglan's hand can't reach the south, and she still needs to save face for the British Empire, otherwise they won't give in so easily.

The entire negotiation lasted until May, and Zhongying finally finalized the agreement on June 23, 6.Through this agreement, China basically abolished the privileges of the United Kingdom. In order to recover a large number of concessions and tariffs, the country's territorial and economic sovereignty have been effectively maintained.

After the announcement, the whole country rejoiced, sweeping away the influence of the "rebellion", the new "government" led by the Fengjun was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the north and south gradually restored peace, and the country entered a new round of development period.

It's just that in order to completely consolidate this achievement, there is another important task, and that is the reform of the military system.To transform the Fengjun into the National Defense Force, Zhang Tinglan entrusted Jiang Fangzhen with this crucial task.

Among Zhang Tinglan's main assistants, Jiang Baili and Wang Yongjiang are very similar. Neither of them has any regional prejudices, and they handle things fairly and reasonably, which is convincing. That's why Zhang Tinglan dared to entrust such a big matter to Jiang Baili.

"Vice President, this is a reorganization plan I just drew up."

Zhang Tinglan looked at it, then nodded: "Brother Baili, your plan includes recruiting troops from different places. I wonder how you plan to do it?"

"Vice President, both Prime Minister Tang and Mr. Min Yuan proposed to be officials in different places. According to my idea, the army should do the same. If the generals and soldiers are in the same area, it is easy to form a small group, which is very unfavorable to the management of the army. , so it should be completely broken. I am going to make a big change in the troops inside and outside the pass, so that we can really dilute the local "color" and turn the Fengjun into the National Defense Force."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "I very much agree with this measure, but the three eastern provinces have developed for these years, and the quality of officers and soldiers are all at a higher level than those in the customs. If this arrangement is made, I am not afraid to break the strong alliance. , will it affect the combat effectiveness?"

"I have also thought about this issue. We are still far from a time of peace in the world. Therefore, during the reorganization of the army, the first thirteen divisions basically retained the military system, and only a small number of soldiers and officers from the pass were brought in. In addition, the last 19 divisions A teacher is to implement this requirement.”

Zhang Tinglan nodded happily when she heard this: "That's it, but the thirteen divisions can't always be like this. The reform must be done in small steps, and strive to disrupt all the troops within three to five years. It’s more reassuring, but it’s too long to lead an army, and it’s not good after all!”

"Don't worry, the vice president. I have arranged a new conscription system, and the next step will be to balance all parties. In addition, I have divided the troops into four grades this time. The first grade is the first thirteen divisions, which serve as field troops. The main force is stationed in the Northeast, Northwest, and Far East to guard against Russia and Japan. The second level is the garrison division. In principle, in the areas we control, North China, East China, and Central China, one for each province. The third The grade is the basic division, which is mainly aimed at those troops left over from the direct line, extracting the essence from them, and using a small organization as a strategic reserve force. The fourth grade is the quick response division. The number should not be too large, and the equipment must be lean. They The main mission is to target the Southwest and Guangdong and Guangxi as a sharp sword against these small warlords." (To be continued.
