156 Unification of West Borneo
It didn't take much time for Hu Fakui to prepare his troops, and the most elite soldiers under him were the 800 men at first, and later they were drawn from Hong Kong to train another batch, and he thought that the number of troops that were enough for a war was about 1,200 men. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore Lin Youde brought the muskets, he used hundreds of rifles from before to let these pirates practice shooting. Not only that, but he also really strengthened the discipline of the pirates, after all, Hu Fakui also stayed in the Tang Army, although he didn't necessarily know all about how the Tang Army trained, but at least he had seen it, so Hu Fakui practiced his subordinates according to the gourd, and he was kicked to the second-tier people by unqualified.
It can be said that the 1,200-strong musket team in Hu Fakui's hands not only had combat experience in raiding at sea at the earliest, had seen blood and was ruthless enough, but also accepted some things from the modern army, initially gained some discipline, and also had a certain combat organization ability similar to that of the Tang Army.
Hu Fakui regularly holds meetings with his leaders to summarize their training, conduct self-reflection, and give instructions or something. He naturally learned the modern one, and felt that it was very much in line with his temperament. These small leaders are actually the grassroots officers in his troops, and they may have relatively low military literacy, but there is room for improvement.
This time, along with the weapons and ammunition brought by Lin Youde, there are also several army officers sent to Hu Fakui by the Ministry of National Defense, who will assist Hu Fakui in rearmament and warfare, Hu Fakui also has great respect for these people who really know how to do it, and Wu Donghai, the Marine Corps Major with the highest rank in the general, has been named his staff officer, and several lieutenants have also been sent to the army as commanders. This, of course, displeased some of the small leaders. But there is Hu Fakui's suppression. Nor did they dare to do anything.
After more than a month of preparation. Hu Fakui is finally ready to go to war with Heshun Company. In fact, he continued to train the army in Dongwanlu, Shankouyang and other places, and there were already rumors that Heshun Company had also heard that the nominal brother of Lanfang Company was still Luo Fangbo, but it was Hu Fakui from Datang who really called the shots.
Hu Fakui not only brought a large number of people from the incense thief, but also got weapons from Datang, at this time he was fighting strongly, normal people can see at a glance what he wants to do, although there are many people in Heshun Company. But after all, it is a collection of 14 companies, and the collaboration is limited. Moreover, Hu Fakui's soldiers are strong and strong, especially equipped with few muskets and even cannons from Heshun Company, which makes Heshun Company, which has not yet separated from a group of ordinary villagers in essence, extremely frightened.
Xie Jie, the leader of Heshun Company, hurriedly ordered someone to go to Dongwanlu to meet Hu Fakui, and proposed that the two families should be repaired and unanimously open to the outside world.
However, Hu Fakui will not sign any peace treaty with Heshun Company, Hu Fakui said bluntly: "The current situation of the Chinese company in West Borneo is leaderless and chaotic. If we want our Chinese to grow and develop here, we must ban all kinds of companies. Establish a government, this trend is unstoppable, those who follow this trend can be passed down through the ages, and their descendants will benefit, and those who go against this trend will be wiped out and the bones will be gone. ”
Such a straightforward declaration of war directly shook many relatively small companies, and within a week, two companies withdrew from the Heshun headquarters and came to Dongwanlu to surrender to Hu Fakui. They are also shrewd, and the execution of Heshun company is far inferior to Hu Fakui, they withdrew from Heshun company, and Shun company is difficult to attack them for a while, and Shun company itself has poor unity, and it is very difficult to unify the troops to do anything. But Hu Fakui is a real threat, if he doesn't obey him, he will raise troops to hit the door of the house the next day, and it is okay to be arrested to be a cow and a horse, maybe he will cut off his head with a knife, and it will be over.
Xie Jie hurriedly convened various companies to discuss a countermeasure, he thought that it might not work to negotiate peace, and if he made the first move, maybe he could still get a glimmer of life. But at this time, the disadvantages of Heshun Company appeared, more than a dozen companies had different ideas, and they dragged each other, Xie Jie had not yet called everyone together for a meeting, and Hu Fakui had already divided into three ways and attacked Pontianak.
Heshun Company, like Lan Fang, has no standing army, and when encountering any conflicts, everyone is temporarily armed, and all equipment is available, arquebuses are rare, more shoddy knives or spears, and there are many people who directly hold mine picks or farm tools. It is impossible for such an armed force to fight against the elite in Hu Fakui's hands.
However, Xie Jie was also a capable man, and he persuaded the Pontianak Sultan to believe that if the Chinese company was finished, the regime established by the Malays would also fall, so the Pontianak Sultan also sent an army to act together with the Ho Shun forces. They faced only one of Hu Fakui's three route armies, numbering only more than 300 people, but Hu Fakui's men bombarded them with artillery, and then his troops charged, completely breaking up the combined forces of Heshun and Pontianak Sultan.
In the actual battle, Heshun did not die many people, but the roar of the cannons and the gunfire of the encrypted set completely made them lose the courage to fight and fled in all directions. The real casualties came when they fled, many people pushed each other to cross the Pontianak River, only to stampede to death, and there were clashes between the Malays and the Chinese. In the end, Hu Fakui defeated the main force of Ho Shun with very small losses, and led his troops to successfully attack Pontianak.
At this time, the first trouble appeared, the Heshun company was defeated, and a large number of Chinese did not dare to stay in the company and escaped from Pontianak, either going to more remote places or hiding directly in the rainforest. Hu Fakui started the war for the population, but the people ran away, which made him extremely angry.
So Hu Fakui had to appease the workers of Heshun Company, and strictly forbade his own men to harass ordinary Chinese, and then sent Lan Fang's men everywhere to chase back the escaped Chinese.
On the whole, this war was not too difficult, and some leaders who knew that it was impossible to do it surrendered directly to Hu Fakui. In fact, within one or two hundred years, the Chinese companies in West Borneo attacked each other, and few directly killed them, basically the defeated people surrendered to the winners, and then everyone continued to fight for a life here, so in terms of characteristics, it is really more like a triad grabbing territory, rather than a government state.
