Chapter 726 Big Victory

The [-] young and strong soldiers who had been defeated turned around and chased after fleeing. Feng Quan led the main force with little damage, and quickly divided into six troops to pursue and gather the defeated soldiers.

The pursuit lasted until midnight, before Feng Quan camped in a village fifty miles away, and ordered the peasants who came up from behind to clean up the battlefield.

Then send messengers to Kong Youhe and Kagoshima, as well as the Huaxia Army.

At noon the next day, Feng Quan gathered all the troops, cleaned the battlefield, and continued to march towards Kumamoto County.

The [-] newly recruited young and strong men, who are tentatively called militiamen, quickly transported the battlefield supplies to Kagoshima County with [-] civilians.

In this battle, Feng Quan's artillery killed 300 people, and 28 cannons were destroyed, of which six were nine-pounders, three were twelve-pounders, and the others were six-pounders and three-pounders.

The main force of 150 soldiers and horses died and injured 2000 people, the militiamen killed and injured 1 people, and the young and strong died and injured [-] people.

Of the 6000 enemy killed, 3000 were farmers, and [-] soldiers were captured, of which [-] were farmers and nearby civilians. The rest fled, but they won a big victory.

Only 68 cannons were seized. Of course, these cannons were scrap iron in Feng Quan's eyes.

The enemy's front-loading flintlock guns seized one hundred rods, Jin Kai 2 matchlock guns seized 1 dry, Jin Kai [-] matchlock guns seized [-] rods, other shotguns, firecrackers, and muskets called iron guns by the Japanese Twenty-eight thousand rods were seized, as well as a large pile of kitchen knives, spears, and broadswords, and even more.

More than 1 loads of food and grass were seized, which is better than nothing, and it is not enough for the prisoners to consume.

When the army arrived in Kumamoto County with the prisoners, the artillery bombarded it a few times, and the garrison there fled.

Feng Quan ordered the army to rest in Kumamoto County.

The militiamen who performed well this time were added to the regular army, and [-] soldiers and horses were added at once, and [-] soldiers and horses were gathered, and then they used three days of effort to train them to cooperate with the regular army.

Seven thousand soldiers and horses, of which [-] soldiers and horses are regular troops, [-] soldiers and horses are added to the artillery, and [-] soldiers and horses are responsible for escorting food and grass.

The remaining [-] youths who had experienced the flames of war were distributed to the seized Jin Kai Er arquebus, expanded into a militia, and [-] were stationed in the county, and [-] were divided into five branches and stationed in various places. farmer.

The remaining 1 soldiers and horses continued to follow the army and were issued Jin Kai 1 matchlock guns.

Feng Quan led the army towards Miyazaki County.

Where are the five thousand troops of General Miyazaki Daimyo.

The two sides fought in Miyazaki County all afternoon, and then General Miyazaki Daimyo was captured. Feng Quan captured another 1 enemy soldiers and more than [-] farmers who dared to follow General Miyazaki Daimyo to resist.

Five thousand soldiers and horses were left to garrison and sweep Miyazaki County.

With [-] soldiers and horses, plus [-] conscripted troops, Feng Quan moved forward.

Go save Oita County.

Thirty thousand young and strong people there are guarding the two county towns.

After seven days of fighting, the army led by the enemy's Oita daimyo has reached [-] troops, [-] farmers, [-] young and strong, and [-] soldiers and horses guarding each county. It is considered good to be able to persist for seven days without falling. , Feng Quan is very happy, if he wins this battle, he can harvest at least [-] battle-ready soldiers, these are experienced veterans who have experienced bloody battles.

Entering Dafen County at dusk, Kong Youxing sent [-] young men and [-] soldiers to join him. This was the first time after reporting to him, Kong Youxing sent a letter telling him that he would support his troops.

Feng Quan now has [-] troops, and behind him are [-] farmers and [-] soldiers who guard them.

From Miyazaki County, [-] soldiers will come, accompanied by [-] farmers.

Compared with the first time he fought the enemy's troops, it was slightly more.

The enemy divided up [-] troops to attack him. Feng Quan did not hesitate to eat up [-] of the enemy's troops in an hour. The enemy retreated in a hurry and escaped with [-] troops. , arrived in Oita County the next day.

This place has been breached by the enemy, all [-] troops were wiped out, and only [-] troops were captured by the enemy. Feng Quan was very disappointed. It seems that the enemy's combat effectiveness is still higher than these young men who have just trained for a month. I understand. After the situation, leaving a thousand troops to defend the city, Feng Quan continued to chase the enemy with his troops.

The two hundred Mongolian cavalry almost broke up his team on the way, but all the two hundred Mongolian cavalry stayed behind.

Arrived at Beppu County in the evening, which is a small county belonging to Oita County. Feng Quan defeated the enemy three times in a row, and led the army to catch up with the enemy. The enemy did not fight him at all and continued to flee. Feng Quan chased him overnight. The [-] soldiers and horses in the army lost [-] soldiers and horses, and only [-] soldiers and horses fled back to Fukuoka County.

After regaining the territory previously laid down by the enemy, Feng Quan saw that there were still [-] soldiers and horses here. It seemed that this was not the place where the enemy mainly attacked, and the main force of the enemy was still in Oita County.

Feng Quan left the wounded and [-] farmers, plus [-] young and strong, and [-] militiamen, and transferred the [-] soldiers and horses who were not injured here.

After three days of marching, they entered the territory of Zuohe County, and then sent messengers to report to Kong Youxing. The two armies attacked from left to right. Thousands of soldiers and horses were pinched from left to right, and more than half of them were lost within three days. Generals Nagasaki and Kitakyushu died in battle, and generals Zuo He and Fukuoka fled to end the battle.

After the two sides returned to the division, Feng Quan handed over the [-] soldiers and horses around him to Kong Youxing's command, and he brought only [-] troops directly under him, and [-] farmers returned to Kagoshima.

A few days later, the news of Kong Youxing's great victory came. He recaptured the Fukuoka and Kitakyushu prefectures, drove the enemy back to China Island, and wiped out a total of [-] enemy troops. The soldiers and horses fled back to China Island.

Looking at the statistics, Feng Quan found that a total of 33 civilians from Kyushu Island were captured this time, and 4000 enemy soldiers and horses were captured. In addition, 300 soldiers and horses from Shikoku Island and 33 Mongolian cavalry from the Qing Dynasty were captured. The enemy's influence in Kyushu Island has been completely wiped out, and then the people on Kyushu Island should know who is their master.

After this battle, 300 million Japanese civilians on Kyushu Island, 13 were killed or injured, 33 were captured, 2 criminals made trouble, and everyone else was honest.

While guarding against the enemy's attack, Kong Youxing dispatched soldiers and horses to escort the captives back.

Feng Quan wrote to Zhang Qiang, how to deal with these captives and troublemakers.

Zhang Qiang thought about it, and He Jin said that Qiongzhou Island needs manpower to open mines. The 40 hard laborers and [-] captives mobilized to open up wasteland in other places cannot be the manpower for digging pits. Small warships and [-] merchant ships came to Kagoshima, Japan, no, it was the Xinlu Prefecture of the Huaxia Kingdom who came to escort these nearly [-] captives there, and put them directly into the mines of Qiongzhou Prefecture, where they were beaten into hard labor.

It happened that Tian Xian and Li Yuanyin also captured thousands of Siamese tribal warriors united by Du Ge. Tian Xian also fought against Du Ge's team in Southeast Asia. The newly gathered forces lost a lot, but they also captured several enemies Thousands of people, that battle was a miserable victory.

In order to punish them, Tian Xian directly sent people to escort them to the port, loaded them on a ship, and under the escort of the Sixth Fleet sent by Ruan Jin, sent these thousands of people to the mine.

Chapter 727 Placement of the Captives

With 30 or nearly 40 prisoners at a time, Zhang Qiang saw an opportunity to re-enrich his prisoner camp.

There are not many people in the prisoner camp now. Compared with the original prisoner camp of 800 million people, the prisoner camp with 200 million people is a little less. This has some reasons for Zhang Qiang's adjustment of the function of the punishment camp.

As the core area of ​​the Huaxia Kingdom is getting farther and farther away from the war, people's lives tend to be stable, and the transition from war to economic development, some criminal punishments in the core area are transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and criminals directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in various places have not been released. Inside the punishment camp.

They were imprisoned in separate prisons set up by the criminal departments of various places, and sent to the nearest prison for reformation.

Now that the core area has nothing to do with captives, what to do with these people is a headache.

But why is there still a need for such a headache?

Because after Sishan Prefecture was ravaged by the Peasant Army and the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to increase the population, even 200 million people are not enough.

These people can't be honest people, they must be able to adapt to poor mountains and rivers, where are these people suitable for land reclamation.

Just like opening up wasteland in small countries in Southeast Asia and Qiongzhou Island and Baodao Prefecture, the first batch of people must have suffered a lot of casualties. Ordinary people have lived in peace for more than ten years. Wherever you let him go, you will send him to a dead end. The stability is very inappropriate, and it will disgust the people. Some young people who have no jobs need to be sent to some relatively stable places. to die.

Except for Sishan Prefecture, the mines in Qiongzhou have entered a stage of rapid development. With the current mining conditions, it is not enough for those young people to go there, only for captives to go there.

Most of the 200 million captives are good captives who have been reformed for more than ten years. Sishan Prefecture is more suitable for them, and their desire to naturalize is also very strong. This kind of people are not satisfied with Sishan Prefecture, so how can they be thrown into the mines? Go, but the Japanese don't have that consideration. Because of their relationship with China for thousands of years, Zhang Qiang thinks it is very suitable to go to Qiongzhou Mine.

Of course, not all the captives were sent to Sishan Prefecture. The 30 Japanese needed to be watched and mixed with some Han Chinese, otherwise it would be very bad for them to be grouped together.
