Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 356

It was already dark outside, but the lights inside Jingyi County were brightly lit.Mo Ming, the commander-in-chief of the operation, the captains of the three ships, the chief officers of the 102nd Company of the Army, and some accompanying miscellaneous personnel sat in the county prison building together, discussing the next step.

The county prison building does not look very big, with few houses and poor construction.After the orderlies lit high-end Russian candles and put on lampshades, the whole space became brighter.

"Because it was already late when we entered the city, many supplies were not counted in time. We still don't know how many supplies we need in the city. The 102nd Company and the 1st Company of the Independent Field Artillery are currently stationed in the warehouse next to the cell. Acting as the pinnacle of the sea in the city. And Liu Zhong’s Eight Banners Battalion has been scattered in sheds to arrest scattered North Korean soldiers, officials in the city, and Xiaoxiao who intend to make trouble.” Xiao Xi, the commander of the 102nd Company of the Army, reported to Mo Ming.Xiao Xi is a senior second lieutenant in the army. He has participated in the country's previous foreign wars, and was later transferred to the military as a staff officer.This time the army formed the 102nd company, so he was transferred as the company commander, and his deputy was Brown, an English immigrant who was the first to "conglong".

"Well, the hostile forces in the city must be eliminated." Mo Ming nodded and said, "Company Commander Xiao, I appointed you as the security commander of Jingyi County, and now record my order. Jingyi County will implement a curfew at night from today. Until we evacuate, if there is any disobedience, we will suppress it. Well, the 102nd company of the army should not move, and all the defense of the city will be handed over to Liu Zhong's Eight Banners Army. Okay, let's carry out the order. Tonight is our occupation of Jingyi County On the first night, it is hard to guarantee that some North Koreans who are unwilling to fail will jump out and make trouble."

"Obey!" Xiao Xi stood at attention, and said, "The staff department will go to command immediately."

"Zhou Dahe, go to the staff office to get some paper and ink in a while, and start writing the Anmin notice. The content of the Anmin notice... Forget it, don't write the Anmin notice, anyway, we can't stay here for a long time now. I heard that Jeju Island is where North Korean exiled prisoners come from." Place, how about this, you will go to the prison and various places where prisoners are exiled to post some notices that pardon these people as slaves. If no one understands, let Sergeant Kim Tae-qiang of the Navy bring a few Korean soldiers to act as translators , These people are full of natural hatred for Li Chao, and they are the ones we can win over. Well, there is no need to go to the exile outside the city for the time being, let's talk about it after dawn."

"Obey!" Zhou Dahe saluted like the army officers, and then hurried out.

"Three captains of the navy, you should return to your ship as soon as possible to avoid the enemy's sneak attack, although the possibility of this is very small. Everything is quiet tonight, and everything will be discussed after dawn." Mo Ming finally stood up and concluded.

On the night of May 5th, the riots that Mo Ming was worried about did not occur in Jingyi County. On the contrary, except for a few places where fierce resistance broke out and were quickly extinguished, most of the urban area was dead silent. .Thinking about it, the army of the people on the east coast showed a devastating attack ability during the day, which almost wiped out the courage of these North Koreans. Now their large troops have even entered the city. In the evening, many North Koreans in the city Everyone saw the blunderbuss and gleaming bayonets held high by the soldiers.Of course, it was the group of Rakshasa ghost-like soldiers with dark faces and bright armor that shocked them even more. Some knowledgeable Koreans even recalled the Kunlun slaves in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

There were only a few hundred soldiers in Jingyi County, a number were killed and wounded in the daytime battle, and a number fled, and there were not many left at present.To have a few "righteous men" come out to attack the invaders' army at night is already worthy of Li Chao's kindness.However, according to the statistics of the soldiers of the 102nd company after dawn, the so-called resistance that broke out last night was more caused by some Eight Banners soldiers breaking into the big North Korean households in the city to extort property and molested women.Fortunately, Mo Ming has a strong deterrent effect on these people. Otherwise, these Eight Banners soldiers who traveled across the ocean with the people from the east coast would have burnt, killed and looted like they did in New China.

Several Eight Banners soldiers who blatantly humiliated women were ordered to be taken back to the ship and locked up. At the same time, they were disqualified from distributing the spoils of the operation as a light punishment.Mo Ming didn't want to punish them too much, after all, he had to take care of the morale of the army, didn't he?The few big families who resisted were naturally uprooted, and hundreds of people, men, women, old and young, were imprisoned alone. In the future, they would be sent to Rishiri Island to do hard labor and build a winter base for the people on the east coast.

After the statistics last night, the number of exiled prisoners in Li Dynasty in the city has also been preliminarily counted, and there are about four hundred people.They were a little excited about the proclamation that the people on the east coast announced the pardon of their slave status, but they were also a little suspicious, because they didn't know the identity of these "people on the east coast" and how long they would stay here, so they all felt more excited when they were excited. Seems somewhat bewildered.

However, after the people on the east bank announced that they would hand over some of the captured North Korean officials, soldiers, and wealthy households to them for custody, each of them suddenly came back to their senses. Stare at those old men who once oppressed them.If they disobeyed a little, they would be beaten severely, and the people from the east coast just looked at them with a smile and did not stop them.Without artificially creating some class conflicts among these people, how can the people on the east bank divide and rule these North Koreans effectively?

All kinds of warehouses in the city were also counted. There were a total of more than 1 yuan in gold and silver, more than [-] catties of grain (including household storage for large households), hundreds of livestock, more than [-] swords and spears, and eight arrows. More than [-] branches, and even more than [-] catties of prepared gunpowder, the harvest can be described as extremely rich.

In addition to these materials, there are a large number of people captured: more than 400 Korean officials and their relatives who did not escape in time, more than 400 Korean soldiers and their relatives, and 300 large Korean families who resisted and were degraded into slaves. There are more than [-] North Korean residents who act as obedient citizens.If the more than [-] North Korean exiles who were pardoned are added together, the total captured population reached an astonishing more than [-] people!

After the statistical results came out, everyone looked at each other, while Mo Ming slapped the table excitedly, and said loudly: "If it wasn't for the fact that some escaped during the war, it is estimated that even more people were captured! Now, pass my order, Liu Zhong The 2st Battalion of the Eight Banners immediately went out of the city to search the nearby Korean villages and towns. The [-]nd Company of the Army immediately ordered the Korean civilians in the city to repair the city defense facilities to prevent the North Korean brigade from coming!"

Once the order was issued, everyone began to get busy.First, there were more than 700 officers and soldiers from the First Battalion of the Eight Banners led by Liu Zhong. They took a group of large four-wheeled cargo carriages that were nervously assembled, and began to wipe out the Korean villages and towns around Jingyi County.The 2nd Company of the Army was stationed in the city. With the help of more than 400 former North Korean exiles who had just turned over to become masters, they began to repair the city defense facilities while carrying supplies and personnel to the three large ships moored on the sea.

The whole transport operation has been going on for several days.Until the day of May 5th, after the "Crossing the Sea" and "Baobab" with 8 people in the cabin left and returned to Heishui Port, the Eight Banners and the First Battalion led by Liu Zhong finally finished sweeping the four fields and returned. Leaving Jingyi County.Perhaps the surrounding Koreans had gotten the news and fled inland. Perhaps the population of those villages and towns was not large. Liu Shizhong's trip only captured more than 2000 people and a small amount of grain and livestock.

Looking at the North Korean ponies that the Eight Banners Army looted back, Mo Ming pouted.To be honest, he looked down on these Korean horses very much. They were short and couldn't bear heavy loads, so what's the use?It's not as good as the Mongolian horse traded from Donghai Jurchen!Therefore, he was so disappointed that he was not even interested in going deep into some pastures set up by the Koreans in the Halla Mountain area to collect horses.It seems that in the future, we have to find a way to bring some Andalusian horses, Turkmen horses and Finnish draft horses here from the mainland to improve the bloodlines of these Korean horses.But this is all for the future. The most important thing now is how to transport these spoils back to Heishui Port. After all, thousands of newly captured North Koreans gathered in such a small county. It may take a long time. There will be accidents, even if there are no accidents, if an epidemic breaks out, it will be very troublesome.

After adding the group of people brought back by Liu Zhong, the number of Koreans gathered in Jingyi County had reached 2000.A large amount of food, livestock, and supplies are piled up in the city. People eat horse chews, and they have nothing to do every day. They all cry from time to time, which is annoying to watch.Therefore, Mo Ming simply asked Lieutenant Chen Tumu, the captain of the "Fubo", to also load a batch of food, supplies, and about a thousand North Koreans towards Heishui Port.After going back to unload the supplies, go to the dock to maintain the ship, and notify the "Breaking Wave" and other three ships that have almost completed maintenance and maintenance to come over to take over.Chen Tumu naturally had nothing to do, so after loading the population and supplies, the last east coast ship moored off Jingyi County also left and returned to Heishui Port.

After the "Fubo" left, Mo Ming simply asked people to close the city gate. Apart from opening the gate regularly every day to harvest fodder for livestock, fetch water and firewood, Yingcheng guarded itself all day long, waiting. The arrival of the next wave of ships.At this time, some North Koreans had appeared outside the city to investigate the situation furtively, and Mo Ming didn't care about them.There are more than [-] elite east bank soldiers, eight cannons, and sufficient food and supplies at the top of the city. He really wants to see which gods are impatient and dare to attack them!
