I want to ruin the country

Chapter 601: I don’t know how powerful the Chinese are

The two men knew that the emperor was injured and told him to rest and not to worry.

Yining suddenly thought of something and said,

"Gentlemen, it's still early, and I really have something to trouble you with!"

It turned out that he wanted them to write the word "Fu" for him. Chen Fuen was a little hesitant, as this was not in accordance with the rules.

Yining knew his concerns.

"Don't worry, Master Chen. I write the palace documents and those for important ministers myself. You write for officials below the third rank!"

After hearing this, Chen Fuen had nothing to say. With his status as a first-rank official, it was reasonable for him to give his subordinates a name.

The eunuchs set out the four treasures of the study and the two began to write.

Chen Fuen is a master of calligraphy. His characters are rich, flexible, handsome and elegant.

You Zongtang's calligraphy is bold and majestic. Later generations commented on his calligraphy, "His running script is that of a clear-minded official, sincere, and he sometimes uses Northern steles to write, so it is solemn and majestic, with strength and thickness."

Yining also believed that he had "learned the essence of regular script, cursive script, official script and seal script."

Yining praised them highly and asked them to write a few calligraphy works each for collection.

It was not until noon, when the imperial kitchen delivered a table of delicious dishes, that Yining asked the two to stop.

After more than ten days of sailing at full speed, Deng Yongchang's fleet bypassed the Strait of Malacca and arrived in the Myanmar Sea.

After they arrived, they blocked all the port terminals including Dawei, Hpa-an, Yangon and Bassein in order to catch the turtle in the jar, and then sent a telegram to Luo Shixin to notify him.

After receiving Deng Yongchang's telegram, Luo Shixin convened a meeting of all officers above the regimental level.

Luo Shixin received an order from the emperor to launch an attack after the New Year, but the soldiers could not wait any longer and suggested that Luo Shixin drive the British out of Myanmar before the New Year.

The reason was that they hadn't fought much in the year since they entered Myanmar, and the soldiers were almost going crazy, so they thought a big victory would be like a New Year's gift to the emperor.

When Luo Shixin and his men first entered Myanmar, the British and Indian soldiers did not take the Chinese seriously at all.

They thought that Chinese people with braids and smoking opium had no fighting ability, but soon Luo Shixin gave them a heavy blow.

There were 5,000 British troops and 15,000 Indian soldiers stationed in the Myitkyina area, totaling 20,000 people.

They were scattered in four camps in and around Myitkyina, forming a pincer attack that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If the emperor had not said that he wanted to hide some of his strength, Luo Shixin would have been able to take care of these four military camps at once.

In order not to expose his true strength, Luo Shixin first surrounded a camp in the northeast corner of Myitkyina.

There were 5,000 people in this camp. After a round of artillery bombardment, a battalion of the new army launched a charge.

The flintlock rifles in the hands of the British and Indian Allied Forces are now products of two eras compared to the fully automatic submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers.

With the addition of machine guns, grenades and flamethrowers, the British army soon realized that they were not on the same level as these Chinese.

After barely resisting for a while and losing many soldiers, they no longer had the courage to resist and surrendered.

According to statistics, more than 2,000 enemies were killed in bombings and 3,000 were taken as prisoners.

Luo Shixin also knew that the emperor cherished the prisoners. After capturing them, he would let them work if there was work, and if there was no work, he would send them back to the country quickly because there was a shortage of workers in the country!

When the British from the other three divisions heard about the fighting here, they rushed over to reinforce, but they were eaten up piece by piece by the new troops who surrounded and attacked the reinforcements on the way.

There are two results of being defeated by the new army: working prisoners and dead bodies.

Those who can run, jump and work will be left behind, and those who are seriously injured and have their stomachs ripped open will be shot again. This is Yining's order.

The current level of medical care makes it too difficult to treat seriously injured patients, and it also takes up too many resources. There is no need for that. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to your own people.

The prisoners were escorted back to their country on tricycles, tractors and cars.

Only then did they realize that their defeat was not unfair. The other party was so advanced that they could not win even if one of their hands was tied.

After the liberation of Myitkyina, there was no serious fighting for a long time.

Their main tasks next were to fight bandits, pacify the local area, and maintain public order.

This is great. Within a year, all the idle armed forces and guerrilla bandits in northern Myanmar, whether in the mountains, dense forests, fields or villages, were wiped out without a single one left.

You can’t find a single bandit in northern Myanmar even with a magnifying glass. The bandits are either dead or have gone to the country to build railways and factories.

Since ancient times, northern Myanmar has not been an easy place to govern.

There has never been true unification here. After the national armed forces defeated the local armed forces, they allowed the local armed forces to manage the area.

Saying that they obey the government's management is bullshit. It's good enough if they can attack your government when there is nothing to do.

Because the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack for the bandits to run in, and the government can only let it go.

But Luo Shixin and Wu Bo were different. They surrounded a forest or a mountain, and then went in as platoons to suppress the bandits.

Even though a platoon only has dozens of people, they will be defeated even if they encounter three or five hundred bandits.

On a hilltop, dozens of platoons were placed there to move freely without any specific orders.

If you see bandits, beat them. If there are no bandits, treat it as a camping training.

They carried canned food, ham and rice with them. They would find a place with water, get a bamboo tube and make fragrant bamboo tube rice. It was so delicious to eat rice with ham.

The bandits were in a bad situation. They were chased by these new troops and had no food to eat or sleep well. They really had no way to go to heaven or to hell.

Moreover, these new troops had no intention of retreating. In the end, these bandits could no longer hold on and had to surrender.

This time, all local armed forces and bandits have been eliminated.

In order to prevent bandits and local armed forces from making a comeback, Luo Shixin stationed a company of new troops and a company of Burmese militia within a radius of 50 kilometers.

Each village organizes a self-defense force of ten to fifty people to maintain public order.

If there were only a few criminals, they would arrest them. If there were a large number of bandits, they would directly call the militia company.

If a militia company cannot solve the problem, a company of the new army will definitely be able to do it.

The result of such densely distributed military garrisons was that no one dared to raise arms privately.

Once the area was stable, Wu Bo followed Yining's instructions to establish a local government, build schools and clinics, and allow children of school age to go to school.

The school provides meals three times a day and starts late in the morning so that students can get to school in time for meals.

School ends early in the afternoon so that students can get home before dark.

There are only two doctors in the clinic, and they provide free medical treatment and medicine.

If there is a serious illness that cannot be cured, the government will arrange for treatment in the country.
