With the increasing number of cannon fodder soldiers, the punishment battalion is getting bigger and bigger, and there are constantly disabled prisoners who have proven themselves to be converted into the strength of the punishment battalion brigade, the previous punishment brigade was only 8,000 troops, and it was responsible for the guards of about 30,000 prisoners, these prisoners were Qing soldiers, but soon these prisoners were pulled up, and then more and more prisoners were sent from the rear, hundreds of thousands of prisoners.

However, as the consumption increased, and by the time the annexation of the state capital was conquered, about 100,000 prisoners were transformed into servant soldiers and joined the ranks of the punishment camp, becoming the overseers of the punishment camp to guard the other prisoners.

With the occupation of Datong Mansion by the Celestial Shadow of the Eighth Field Division, and the end of the Battle of the Prefecture Prefecture, Shanxi Prefecture was taken.

500,000 prisoners were killed or wounded, 200,000 servants, 800,000 Japanese and Southeast Asian civilians, 200,000 Japanese civilians and prisoners were converted into servants, and 100,000 servant soldiers were allowed to stay in the rear to watch over new prisoners.

There were many Qing soldiers in Shanxi Prefecture, most of whom were soldiers and horses of the original Dajin Kingdom, about 700,000.

More and more Han Chinese and Manchus were arrested to support the Qing Dynasty, and soon the number exceeded 2 million.

Under the supervision of the 100,000 Punishment Battalion Brigade, 2 million people began to open mountains and build roads, began to repair city walls, and restored people's livelihood, agriculture, and water conservancy in various places.

Leaving 200,000 servant soldiers to help the 50,000 correctional battalion brigade to guard the prisoners, supervise the repairs in various places, and restore the people's livelihood, about 50,000 Japanese civilians and Japanese servant soldiers were loaded into horse-drawn carriages and transported to Taizhou Prefecture, boarded ships and went to Indonesian islands.

200,000 Qing prisoners were also transported to the island of Indonesia, along with 400,000 civilians, where were people of Han Chinese descent shipped.

Later, according to the previous method, loyal Han people from the core area were sent to Shanxi Prefecture to dilute the influence of the Qing Dynasty and expand the influence of the Han people here.

This time, some people from Yunnan Guizhou, some Han people from Yunnan Prefecture, some Han people from Guangxi Prefecture, and some Han people from Jinling Prefecture, a total of 200,000 people, plus private school teachers from all over the country, as well as 5,000 widows and young people from all over the Consultative Bureau, came to settle here, retired Chinese officials, in short, they want to completely merge this place into the Huaxia Kingdom and occupy this place.

The Han people here were diluted to Baodao Prefecture, Dongying Prefecture, and Qiongdao Prefecture, and more than one million Han people were transferred, no matter what education they received before, in short, they still have Han blood, and many people still regard themselves as Han people, and they are always safer than those of other races.

The loss of Shanxi Prefecture left the Great Qing Kingdom with Hebei Prefecture and Yanjing Region.

Of course, there was also the Liaodong region, which had passed the Shanhai Pass behind them, and the Goguryeo region that they had conquered.

"Your Majesty, Governor Wei Wuji hopes to add some more Japanese civilians and Japanese captive soldiers to them, so as to suppress the Siamese tribes and Indians there." Zhang Qiang sat in the palace of Jinling Mansion and summoned Li Dingguo, who raised Wei Wuji's hopes for him.

"Well, where can we send a million people from Japan, let them fight with the Siamese tribes, and at the same time send 200,000 Japanese servants from Shanxi Prefecture, where are their troops? Give them a few more garrison brigades to go up. ”

Li Dingguo said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this time the garrison brigade has been adjusted, the garrison brigade in Henan Prefecture has been replaced, and the one that has been transferred has not gone to the defense area, but has been supplemented to the Merlin Fish Corps, the garrison brigade of Huguang and Hubei Prefecture has been supplemented to Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, the newly established garrison brigade in Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture has been transferred to Dongying Prefecture, and the garrison brigades in Huguang and Hubei Prefecture are now vacant, and I am transferring the garrison brigade from other places. ”

This is a question, how did the Song Dynasty perish, how did the Tang Dynasty perish, all the frontier troops were strong, and the core troops were a pile of dung, they rotted in the peaceful years, and they couldn't resist the rebellious frontier troops at all, the same is true of the Ming Dynasty, the troops in the border towns were strong, but they didn't resist the enemy, they went to farm, they lied about the military situation, how many times did they let the Qing army enter the customs, and they ravaged the land in the core area, those soldiers and horses in the core area would only stick to the city, and the field troops would only hide from the enemy, and they would not dare to engage the enemy and fight, Coupled with the blind command of a group of Donglin Party members, they perished.

At present, there are Bagyalu Corps in the capital area of Jinling Prefecture, and there are front-wing and featherless corps in Guangxi and Guangdong Prefectures, but only garrison brigades are stationed in these areas such as Zhejiang Prefecture, Fujian Prefecture, and Huguang.

Because in the early stage, there was a garrison brigade in one state, so the strength was not enough to guard, and now there is a picket brigade, but that is the transformation of the militia, and the militia elite brigades in many areas have been incorporated into the garrison brigade, but these garrison brigades have not all been integrated in place, and the garrison brigades in some areas have been pulled to the front line to replenish the lost field division troops.

Therefore, many areas are actually empty, there is no garrison force, especially in the rear states close to the front line, their garrison brigade is either pulled to the newly occupied Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, or pulled to Shanxi Prefecture, or Sishan Prefecture, and even the garrison brigade in Yunnan and Guizhou is not much, and there is only one garrison brigade on the garrison.

The question now is not to fill the gaps in the garrisons in these areas, but to replenish the forces to the front.

The territory is big, and the troops are insufficient.

You can't use the servant army to replenish it, the servant army can only be used for consumption, not for replenishment.

"As soon as possible, the picket brigade that has been erected is in place, let them first fill the vacancies in the troops in those empty areas, transfer a garrison brigade from Zhejiang Prefecture, and send a garrison brigade from Yunnan Prefecture to Southeast Asia to supplement the garrison vacancies in Cambodia. There are also quite a few garrison brigades in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, five garrison brigades are enough, there is no need to replenish their troops, and the planned garrison brigades are also intercepted and divided into one to Henan Prefecture, so that the Bagyalu Corps can recover its strength as soon as possible, and then their corps will be dismantled, the cavalry brigade will be transferred to Shanxi Prefecture, and the other brigades will be transferred to key prefectures to garrison it, and wait for the troops to be freed up. ”

After chatting about this, Li Dingguo said with a smile while packing up the information: "In the first battle of Shanxi Prefecture, although we lost a lot of troops, but in the later battles, our regular field army did not lose a single one, but hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians and hundreds of thousands of Japanese servant troops died, as well as prisoners of Dajin State and Qing soldiers, it can be said that Shanxi Prefecture was defeated by cannon fodder troops. I suggest that in the future, Hebei Prefecture will also be fought with cannon fodder troops. ”

Zhang Qiang touched his chin and said: "Of course, let those captured Qing soldiers rush first, wait for them to prove themselves, and then make them our servant soldiers, and then use Southeast Asian soldiers to rush to prove that they have become servant soldiers.

Transferred to some difficult places, anyway, we hit the Japanese island, there are millions of Japanese people, hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners, there are nearly 300,000 people and 1 million prisoners in the battle of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, Shanxi Prefecture is more than that, almost 1 million people and 2 million prisoners, and then there may be more people to resist, and then all of them will be used as cannon fodder. ”
