They roughly calculated that although they were all trading according to the price of their conscience in their hearts, the money they obtained was enough for their family to eat and drink for several years or more than ten years. However, looking at the bulging blanket around his waist, in addition to silver dollars, there are more valuable things such as gold sand, emeralds, cat's eyes, and jade, which are not originally accessible and visible to these ordinary soldiers. As usual, a piece of money was seized enough to make them happy for several days, but these valuable things that served as payment for the goods fell so that they felt pain in their waists, and many people could not be happy, and these valuable things were exchanged for the blood and suffering of many people, and it can be said that every silver dollar was soaked with blood.

"Damn! With such money, buy fields and wash them away in the flood! Build a building, the sky is burning! married a wife and gave birth to a child who was carried by a tiger and ran away! A scout muttered to himself as he pinched the hard coat of the ship.

These scouts have been deep into the area where the rebels are entrenched for more than half a month, and what they see and hear is completely violent and bloody, and it is inevitable that their hearts are also full of anger. In order to balance their minds, they tried their best to do good deeds along the way, such as giving alms to some poor people, stopping some massacres against different religious beliefs, buying some slaves, etc., or using the money to obtain information. In this way, after nearly half a month of investigation, they initially found out the distribution of various forces within 200 miles of the towns under the jurisdiction of the Nanyue Military Region with Batavia as the core, the number of armed forces, and the sources of funds, and then sent the information back to Jakarta in the form of letters. Although the content varies greatly, these murderous spies generally have such a sentence at the end of their letters, the people are suffering deeply, and they hope to act as soon as possible.

In the past half a month, Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi have not been idle waiting there to drink tea.

All the men and horses of the 1st Mixed Brigade have been adapting to the environment and climate of Java Island as soon as possible in the past half a month. In addition to being familiar with the roads and forests, it is necessary to adjust their equipment. It is humid, muggy, hot and rainy here, and the soldiers' iron armor is naturally not able to wear it, and once Zheng Sen's tactic of lacking virtue and smoking in the ancestral tomb is implemented, then it may not be possible to disarm and rest for many days, and the physical wear and tear of the soldiers is too great. Moreover. The implementation of the iron-clad encirclement tactic inevitably requires continuous pursuit and combat day and night, and the heavy armor on the body is also a huge impact on the ability to maneuver.

I had no choice but to take off all the armor on my body and pick up the magic weapon of the Nanyue Army when I started up, the bamboo armor. This kind of bamboo armor is more suitable for combat in this tropical jungle environment than iron armor.

Zheng Sen's official document made the bamboo armor in the adjacent Chao Phraya River area and the Chai stick area empty! Originally, these armors were only equipped by the watchmen and strong men in the villages. There are very few reserves in the treasury. But the military situation was like fire, and the provincial officials everywhere did not dare to slack off, so they simply took off the bamboo armor from the Zhuangding team and the watch team! There is no rebellion on his own territory at the moment, at most there are some theft cases, which can be dealt with firearms, and there is no need for armor.

In addition to the armor, the various supplies that were transported to the city of Batavia by boatload were carried by boat. Tarpaulin poncho. Straw sandals, medicines. Pickles, more of a mountain of flour piled up in the dock warehouses.

"Da Mu, the lord was very pleased to see your battle plan, and specially ordered someone to make flour from the wheat that had just been transported from Tianzhu to Manraka, saying that you should make dry food. The brigade of men and horses went deep into the area where the rebels were entrenched to fight, and the soldiers still had to carry at least five days of dry food on their bodies! ”

It was Zheng Sen's uncle who came to escort this batch of supplies. Zheng Zhibao, who served as the director of the Reclamation Bureau!

Today, Zheng Zhibao, as the director of the Reclamation Bureau, has expanded his scope of authority, not only responsible for the development and utilization of tidal flats, swamps, mountains, forests, saline-alkali lands in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Taiwan's coastal areas, and immigration in various places, but also expanded the scope of his responsibility to the Java Islands, Manlaga, Chao Phraya River, and ten prefectures. If things go well in Fuso's hometown, I'm afraid that Fuso will also be included in his jurisdiction.

"The lord sent me to assist, in addition to transporting these many materials, he also ordered me to send good men from the Reclamation Bureau to come to Java, and you plough the court and sweep the caves in front, and I will comfort the exiles behind the army and restore the farming."

In addition to resuming production and rebuilding homes, the most important thing is two things, one is to establish political power at all levels subordinate to the Nanyue military system, and completely uproot the administrative power of those bullshit kings and sultans! Another is the promotion of cash crops, especially rubber, throughout Java.

"Now that the Maple Ridge Laboratory has solved the vulcanization problem of rubber tires, the amount of rubber everywhere is afraid that there will be another leap, and the lord is also taking precautions and specially ordered me to come to help!"

With the help of elders like Zheng Zhibao and the old horse who knows the way, Zheng Sen is naturally overjoyed, his face is full of joyful smiles, and he can't stop holding the fifth uncle's hands and shaking them happily.

It was Wu Liuqi, who keenly felt that things were far from being so simple, and he asked Zheng Zhibao with a smile on his face, "Lord Zheng, I don't know if the lord has anything else to explain?" ”

"Bo Mud!" Zheng Zhibao did not hesitate to report his destination.

Bo Ni, because of instigating and colluding with the rebellions of the natives in Luzon and Manraka and other places, was regarded by Li Shouhan as a thorn in the flesh, and received a request from the Sixth Heaven Great Demon King (even better than the Sixth Heaven Demon King!). After Zheng Sen's punishment, everyone in the Bo Ni Kingdom was as depressed as a defeated quail. Busy pleading guilty and refuting himself. However, after you finished harming Lao Tzu, seeing that the momentum is not right, write a check and plan to fool around? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

This small country on the island of Kalimantan was not thinking well about how to accomplish the historical mission of "big things" under the wings of the Southern Guangdong Army, but when Li Shouhan went north, he was ready to make a move, intending to restore his rule over the southern islands of Luzon, Sarawak, and Sabah. He didn't think about it, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the British who came later, which one didn't beat him to the head and immediately kneel and lick these guys from the West? Now he has hit the abacus on the head of the Nanyue army that beat the Spaniards and the Portuguese to their knees?!

So, Li Shouhan waved his pen on Yousi's submission, "Destroy the country!" At the same time, in the name of the General's Palace, a considerable amount of money was proposed. handed over to the household division, and turned all the thousands of miles of land in Boni into the private property of the Li family. This is also commonplace for the people who are accustomed to the style of the lord to run a big farm, not only in Bo Ni, but also in Chao Phraya River, Yangon, and ten states, where are there not large farms designated by the lord? Fortunately, the original islanders of Boni were also tenants of the king and ministers, and there was no land change. At most, it can be regarded as a change of landlord's owner.

"The lord means that rice will not be allowed to be planted in this mud in the future, and all rubber, pepper and other things must be planted." Zheng Zhibao handling this kind of affairs is also his specialty, and he is familiar with the road. "If there are meritorious soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to quell the chaos in Java, they can go to Bo Ni to serve as the head of the village, and those mercenaries of the Japanese State can go to work in the grange of the Lord of Bo Ni after making meritorious contributions."

It's the best of both worlds! Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi nodded their heads one after another. However, even if they are reincarnated again, they can't think of Li Shouhan's true thoughts! "Well! This mud can be used to grow large quantities of cash crops such as rubber and pepper, and to spread rubber in the equatorial tropics as much as possible. Prevent the blow to rubber plantations once the Xiaoice erupts. These two! You don't know, I know that although this mud is poor at the moment, there are countless black gold buried in the ground and under the sea! Lao Tzu also has to leave some money for future generations, right? ”

"The lord said that after the Java rebellion, several coal mines, as well as several iron mines and other mines on the many islands of Java, were mined by the General Bureau of Mines. Each meritorious person can occupy some shares! The battle had not yet begun, and Li Shouhan had already begun to tell his subordinates how to distribute the spoils.

How lucrative coal and other minerals are. The officers and officials of the Nanyue Army present all knew it well and had already coveted it. Now that they have heard that they can take some shares in the upcoming mine, how can they not be thundered?!

"In addition, the land is allocated by the national government, as for other minerals, timber and other projects. If you are interested, you can pay your own money to apply for a license to organize mining. The news brought by Zheng Zhibao made those Japanese mercenaries greedy, and when they were poor, they wanted to have a full meal, and a cotton coat was satisfied. After the problem of food and clothing is solved, I want to be well-off, and after I am rich, I want to go to the next level.

Several of the battalion officers of the Japanese mercenaries glanced at each other, and Ai Ai sent a representative to state his demands.

"My lord! If we are to make meritorious contributions, can we occupy a place in this Java? ”

"Yes! When a certain family was leaving, the lord specially called a certain family aside to explain that if the people of the Japanese country fought bravely and fought bravely and fought against the chaos, they would be treated the same as the soldiers of our Nanyue Army! ”

This is tantamount to igniting the mood of the whole army to be anxious for war and ready to calm down the chaos and make meritorious contributions.

In particular, when the mercenaries from the three islands of the East Ocean learned that as long as they made war exploits in the upcoming war, they could work with the soldiers of the Nanyue Army to have their own piece of land in this rich and fertile land for farming, and when they passed it on to their descendants, countless people immediately knelt on the ground and cried, thanking the grace of the grandfather of the country, and vowing to repay the country with death and seven lives!

However, no one knows why Li Shouhan is so ruthless and ruthless to completely sweep the many islands in Java! So, let's list some numbers for you to see. The Java archipelago, now known as Indonesia, has about 58 billion tons of coal reserves alone, and 19.3 billion tons of proven reserves, of which 5.4 billion tons are commercially exploitable reserves. Since there are still many areas where there are no proven reserves, the local government estimates that the total coal reserves will reach more than 90 billion tons. Many southern provinces import coal from Indonesia. In addition to coal, the land has huge reserves of natural gas, about 123589 trillion cubic meters (equivalent to 20.6 billion barrels of oil!). Of which, 2,4230 trillion cubic meters have been proven, mainly produced in Arun in Sumatra and Batak in East Kalimantan. In addition to these energy reserves, the nickel reserves here are about 5.6 million tons, which is among the highest in the world.

The reason why Li Shouhan did not hesitate to turn the Java Islands into a sea of blood also has the purpose of completely taking this land, everyone is clear, right? Not bad! It is to leave a huge treasure trove of energy for future generations, and no longer let me add a suffix to the end of China's vast land and resources, and the large population will lower the per capita number!

"Damu, when are you going to do it?" Seeing that the morale of the whole army was like a flame that could refine iron ore, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but twist his hair and be happy. Lang Sheng asked his nephew.

"Fifth uncle! No hurry! At present, there are still a few days before the deadline we issued, and my Nanyue Army will naturally have to be clear and discerning to do things according to the rules. ”

Wu Liuqi: "Jun Ma, your tactics have never been seen in ancient times, and other people's formations have names." Name it too! ”

"I think it's called the Iron Wall Sweep!"

Zheng Zhibao's funny words came out, and in the basement of a certain cell in the depths of hell, a bald man with glasses spurted out a mouthful of blood and cried and fainted in the toilet of the cell. "Lao Tzu curses you guys! Curse you, a guy with half Japanese ancestry, to be bullied by women for the rest of your life! Always a scared wife! ”

Zheng Sen said proudly: "This tactic is surrounded by layers, and it is difficult for birds to escape, like a cage surrounded by iron walls, so as the fifth uncle said, it is just like an iron wall!" Then Zheng Sen said to Wu Liuqi: The iron wall is focused on encircling, but it can't be surrounded without fighting, and we can fight after dividing and surrounding the rebels with the fortress road. I pondered over how this method of fighting should be done in the following way: Before fighting, we must first concentrate our troops and supplies to strengthen our army's total combat strength, and we must be able to fight continuously for one to two months in an attempt to destroy the manpower, material, and financial resources of the rebel bandits, and in particular, we must seek to eliminate the living forces of the rebel bandits. Before each general attack, the enemy army was lured by feints, and then suddenly set up a formation to break into the bandit area, seize the key points of the mountain beams and build a stronghold road. In order to facilitate the supply of our army's relief and blockade of the rebels, the rebels were excited, and then divided the troops to clear and suppress to consolidate.

"Junma's method can be described as a thunderbolt sweeping hole!"

Zheng Sen said with a sigh: "My lord's praise." This Fasen thought it should be called a sweep. ”

A few days later, when a crescent moon was still hanging in the air, tens of thousands of Nanyue troops had already been dispatched. At the forefront, the battalions and outposts carried flatbread used as dry food, kettles full of water, straw sandals on their feet, and oilcloth ponchos wrapped in their backpacks. Officers at all levels carried copper whistles, flags, horns, horns, bamboo tubes, and other utensils used as communication tools around their waists, and the trumpeters of each battalion followed closely beside the battalion officers.

I watched the hands of the pocket watch gradually coincide. The time for disarming and registering has expired, and Wu Liuqi's cold face showed a relaxed smile, not afraid of your stubborn resistance, afraid of your surrender! "Let's go!"

An order was given, and the three-sided blockade line around the jurisdiction of the Yusupu Sultan. Suddenly thousands of troops appeared! According to the area that has been demarcated for a long time, assign tasks and act separately. The density of personnel and fortifications reached a sentry of fifteen paces and a sentry of thirty paces. There are soldiers in the mountains and mountains, and there are people on the roads. By noon the next day, a blockade encircling the Yusupu Sultanate on three sides had been completed.

At the forefront, the men who came to help the army quell the rebellion with joy, under the guidance of the soldiers, cut down the trees, cut the grass, set up sentry huts with branches and grass, or pile up huge piles of firewood and grass for use in the night lighting, and in addition to this, the men also helped the army dig fortifications and build blockades. As soon as there is any wind and grass, this heavily guarded blockade line will sound loud and piercing brass trumpets, whistles, low and majestic horns, and even the most primitive sound of banging on the bang and the washbasin, quickly transmitting the alarm to the rear. The huge sound formed a terrifying momentum, and this overwhelming force made the soldiers and officers of Yusupu tremble and weaken their hands and feet.

Later in the first blockade line was the camp of the second echelon. More than 20,000 troops were divided into more than 10 routes, assembled here and waited for the order to attack.

"Panic what! Wait until the thieves inside are panicked! Wu Liuqi held the rice bowl and replied with a relaxed expression to the generals who kept asking when to attack, "Eat and drink enough and rest!" Once the fight starts, you will be able to sit down and eat a bowl of Ansheng rice at a certain time! ”

Surrounded on three sides, only one direction was left for the Yusupu Sultan, but this is definitely not the so-called art of war. The gap left for Yusupu is the passage to the Calvinist-controlled area!

"That's how we drove the tiger and the wolf! Let these two thieves clash with each other, and fight the one with the cross and the one with the moon scimitar banner first! When we're done, let's clean up the mess! ”

It was getting dark, and the thick clouds obscured the dim stars and moon, this kind of weather, which was originally intended for sneak attackers and escapees, but today encountered the greatest difficulty.

"Ignition!"

At the sound of an order, thousands of fires were lit at the same time on the blockade line that was hundreds of miles long, and the skyrocketing fire illuminated the sky for hundreds of miles red, so that the thieves who tried to escape while it was dark did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool! can only fight with the spirit, urge the subordinate soldiers to strictly guard to the death, and prevent the officers and soldiers from taking advantage of the night to pounce.
