I want to ruin the country
Chapter 602 Awkward Battle
The main task of the local government is to get the people to focus and resume production.
In the past, the local people had never farmed seriously, so they had no food to eat.
Now we need to cultivate their living habits of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.
As long as you plant crops in the land, it all belongs to you, no matter what the harvest is, and the government won’t charge you a penny in taxes.
There are also people coming to guide the people in farming, and fertilizers will be transported in to places where conditions permit.
If your harvest is not enough to feed your family, the government will provide relief and will never let you go hungry.
This is also a way to remove the firewood from under the cauldron.
Food is the most important thing for people. Who among the common people doesn't want to live a stable life? With food and a home, everyone gradually settles down.
When people's hearts are at peace, society will be stable.
Wu Bo was extremely impressed by the emperor's policy of governing the country. This land, which had never been stable, had actually become stable.
He also knew that the emperor was not killing the chicken to get the eggs. For such a long time, not only were military funds and supplies supplied domestically, but the relief supplies shipped here alone were enormous.
He also truly realized that only by following such an emperor could he have a good life.
If this were not the case, even if the British were driven out, the original government would still manage the country into a mess and would sooner or later be invaded by others.
After 20,000 people were wiped out, the British began to understand what was happening.
They thought that the Chinese army might have arrived, so they went to negotiate with Prince Gong. Prince Gong just talked nonsense and sent them away.
There is nothing they can do if the Chinese refuse to admit it. They also hope in their hearts that the Chinese are telling the truth.
They sent another 10,000 British troops and 30,000 Indian troops to try to recapture Myitkyina.
Luo Shixin set up a pocket formation for them south of Myitkyina and north of Lashio, trapping the aggressive 40,000 British and Indian troops.
If they try to rush out, shoot them with machine guns. If they don't, surround them. Anyway, the supplies you brought are limited and will run out sooner or later.
Since the emperor was not in a hurry, Luo Shixin saved some artillery shells to support the emperor in fighting the Japanese pumpkin.
After besieging them for more than twenty days, the British and Indian forces ran out of ammunition and food, and finally killed camels and war horses to satisfy their hunger.
Luo Shixin used loudspeakers every day to urge them to surrender.
In the end, the British and Indian forces could no longer hold out and had to surrender. More than 30,000 people were captured in this battle.
When the news reached India, the Indian Governor-General, Baron Davis, realized that such firepower and equipment were definitely not something the defeated Burmese army could possess.
It was not the Burmese, let alone the Siamese, who came to help the Burmese, because they have been enemies since ancient times.
Using the process of elimination, the final result can only be China. It is 100% certain that the Chinese sent troops.
Davis quickly reported his conclusions to Her Majesty the Queen.
It took more than two months for the news to come back and forth. When the Queen's order arrived, Davis hurried to find China to reason.
"We sent troops? Who said that? Impossible!"
This is the response from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
China does not admit it and asks the British to provide evidence!
Isn't this embarrassing? We haven't captured any Chinese prisoners, so what if they don't acknowledge us?
The two sides started a verbal battle, and everyone was telling lies with their eyes glaring. Time passed day by day.
Although the Chinese did not admit it, the British no longer dared to attack Beibei for fear of being wiped out.
Strangely, Luo Shixin did not attack southwards. He stopped to train his troops.
Most of the current 200,000 troops are new recruits. Luo Shixin has recruited another 150,000 troops locally, who are even more new recruits, so their training must be intensified.
If you don't come, I will train. If you come, I will fight. This is actual combat training and it won't delay anything!
This made the British very embarrassed. If they fought, they would be defeated, but if they didn't fight, the same thing would happen!
We haven't lost, so we can't just withdraw our troops in dejection, right?
Luo Shixin considered the soldiers' request and sent a telegram to the emperor, asking for instructions on what to do.
Yining called back and asked if he could start the attack according to the established plan.
How can we not be confident? We have been preparing for a year, we have sufficient supplies, the soldiers are eager to fight, and our morale is high.
After discussing with Wu Wenrong and Wu Bo, Luo Shixin decided to follow the plan that had been formulated long ago.
Fifty thousand new troops and fifty thousand Burmese troops were left behind to defend the border between Myanmar and India to prevent the British army from attacking and cutting off their retreat.
In addition, 150,000 new troops and 100,000 Burmese troops were divided into three routes: east, central and west, to attack southward.
The Eastern Army first attacked Lashio, and after recaptured Lashio, it marched southward along the Shan Plateau.
The Western Route Army first recaptured Hakka, and then pushed forward to Nanping along the Rakhine Mountains.
The Eastern Army of 50,000 surrounded Lashio and launched a bombardment.
The enemy had never seen such powerful artillery fire. They could not withstand it and fled south.
The enemy fled with their weapons and armor discarded, and the Chinese New Army followed slowly behind.
As expected, the Western Route Army captured Hakka, forcing the British and Indian troops guarding Hakka to flee south.
The Western Route Army was also chasing slowly from behind, and the new army composed of Burmese people followed behind to do the aftermath and help establish the regime and maintain stability.
The central army led by Luo Shixin advanced to the city of Pagan in three days.
The British troops entering Burma consisted of 100,000 British troops and 200,000 Indians.
Some of them had been eliminated by Luo Shixin in northern Myanmar.
There were now 10,000 British troops and 40,000 Indians in the city of Bagan, totaling 50,000 soldiers.
Luo Shixin adopted the strategy of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open, encircling the west, north and east sides, leaving only the south.
Luo Shixin did not send anyone to attack the city, but just bombarded the city continuously, overwhelming it with artillery fire.
After a few rounds of artillery fire, the gun barrels were heated up and the soldiers took a rest, eating and drinking.
Then, rows of loudspeakers were turned on to persuade the soldiers to surrender. It didn’t matter whether they surrendered or not, they could continue fighting after the guns cooled down.
In this way, after a whole day of bombing, the Indian coalition forces in the camp were scared to death.
Many of them were prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowing. Did they anger the gods in heaven? Why were bombs falling from the sky?
However, their General Watson was very puzzled as to why the enemy only fired artillery instead of attacking.
Moreover, the south is left unencircled. Are they asking us to escape from the south?
No, there must be an ambush in the south. Do they think we are stupid? They dug a pit and asked us to jump in?
We won’t do that. We want to break out from somewhere else.
Then they chose to rush out, and as a result, the new army's machine gun bullets swept over them like water.
The charging soldiers fell in their path like knocked-down stakes.
Seeing that there was no way to get out, General Watson quickly gave the order to come back.
Fortunately, the Chinese army did not pursue them, so they were able to retreat back to the city safely.
After two days of bombardment, General Watson couldn't figure out what was going on. What kind of fighting method was this?
