From the beginning of the Huaxing Army's war against India, from the beginning to the present, it has hardly taken in any prisoners.Qiao Zhiqing wanted to teach the arrogant British Empire a lesson, so he naturally wanted to beat them once.But in this battle, Wu Xuming gave an unprecedented order that as long as the British army laid down their arms and surrendered, they would all be captured, and they would not be killed.He also did this on the basis of two considerations: although Calcutta had been bombed to rubble, if surrender was not allowed, the British army would inevitably be in a desperate struggle.The Huaxing army is in the light, and the British army is in the dark.If the city is wiped out in the ruins, the casualties of the Huaxing army will inevitably increase exponentially.Now that the war had come to an end, he didn't want his soldiers to die in victory.The second point is that Qiao Zhiqing had an order early in the morning.In the final battle, there is no need to rush to kill.He wanted these prisoners to be useful, and now there were tens of thousands of British prisoners in the country, plus Indian prisoners, enough to form the capital to negotiate with the British.For this reason, the infantry of the Huaxing Army also learned a few words of English before the battle, "lay down your arms, surrender your guns and not kill".The British army still has more than 30,000 infantry in the city, and if it really plays with the Huaxing army, the Huaxing army will really have to pay a lot of price.But from the beginning of entering the city, Hua Xingjun spoke with the accents of various provinces, shouting, "Hua Xingjun handwritten translation, tired to my mother to die, I have to ask my dead father to be tired or not."
Regular translation, lay down your arms, surrender your guns and don't kill the phrase really works, starting with the first British soldiers who pricked up their ears to understand, and soon batch after batch of British troops surrendered their guns.At the beginning, there were still unknown people who insisted on fighting, hiding in the back and putting cold guns, but they were directly blown into pieces by the mortars of the Huaxing Army.At this point, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Britain had lost, and even if reinforcements came, it would be useless.At this time, no one wants to die in a foreign land.Later, more people surrendered, and others gave up struggling.Later, an order came directly from the command, and the general allowed to surrender.At this moment, the British GIs, who were preparing to meet God just now, immediately became jubilant, and took the initiative to look for the Huaxing army to surrender all over the street.The soldiers of the Huaxing Army are quite puzzled, this foreign sentence is really magical.Just said that your mother was going to starve to death, and your father was going to starve to death, so they obediently raised their hands and surrendered.I knew that I would have used this trick, and I didn't have to work so hard along the way.While the city was receiving prisoners in a big way, there was no idleness outside the city.The Huaxing army blocked all the intersections out of the city, and the faces of the British were very recognizable, as long as they were local natives, let them all go, what should they do.But if it were the British, they would all be arrested and shot.If they surrender, it means that they have no fighting spirit, but they disguise themselves as civilians and run away, which means that they still want to continue fighting.As a result, there were fewer and fewer gunshots inside the city, and more gunfire outside the city.Because of the mutual distrust between the two sides, thousands of British troops fled the city among the refugees.As the refugees marched through the Huaxing Army's outposts, both men and women had to remove the veils from their heads.The British army did not expect the Huaxing army to be so tightly controlled, and they either ran away, or took out their weapons and exchanged fire with the Huaxing army.This situation lasted for three whole days before it ended.Huaxingjun surrounded the water on all sides, and used a carpet search to catch turtles in the urn.Calcutta was turned over, and not a single British soldier escaped.The nine-star red flag of New China was also planted on the Governor's Mansion and fluttered in the wind, and Gordon's body was found in the basement.There were also hundreds of his own soldiers and descendants, all of whom shot themselves after his death.This battle was the largest damage of the Huaxing army, with a total of thousands of soldiers killed, most of whom were shot by the British army.Of the 70,000 or 80,000 men and horses of the British army, only more than 30,000 were captured by the Huaxing army, and the rest were all killed in a foreign land.Most of the more than 30,000 men were British troops who had fled from all over the country.They had fought with the Huaxing army, and they never thought that they would be able to hold Calcutta.As soon as Huaxingjun's persuasion to surrender came out, they jumped and jumped excitedly and were the first to surrender.Of these, only Thomson had the largest position, and his establishment was the most neatly preserved.Wu Xuming also specially summoned him for this reason and asked him to serve as the leader of the prisoners of war, and all the prisoners of war were handed over to him for management.If a prisoner of war has a problem, the first one to ask him is to ask.Thomson reluctantly accepted that now his life was completely in the hands of the Huaxing army, and if people were unhappy, his life, including more than 30,000 British troops, would be strangled in an instant.Originally, after Gordon's death, the supreme command fell to his lieutenant Barron.But Barron was unwilling to surrender like this, and disguised himself as a woman with his men, and wrapped in a black veil to get out of the city.As a result, they were discovered by the Huaxing army, and the two sides fired several shots at each other, and finally Barron was also shot and killed indiscriminately.Wu Xuming soon sent troops to take over the British military base in India.Along the way, there were also a lot of local armed resistance, and the Huaxing army was wiped out.After the various parts of India were generally stabilized, he quickly sent the good news back to Beijing through the navy, waiting for Qiao Zhiqing's next arrangement.Now India is also the gathering of agricultural harvests, and these 30,000 British soldiers are also taken to farms and imprisoned, and they are reformed in the fields.Compared to China, India's agriculture has a natural advantage.Not only is the land fertile, but the rivers in the territory are crisscrossed, and there will be no drought on a large scale like in China.Most of the crops are harvested twice a year, so India's grain production is much higher than China's at this time.This is also the reason why Qiao Zhiqing sent troops to India, he just wanted to make this place the granary of New China, so that New China would no longer be troubled by drought and lack of food.Before the good news was sent to Beijing, Qiao Zhiqing still held the military report sent by Wu Xuming half a month ago.In the military newspaper, Wu Xuming also mentioned a news, that is, the disappearance of the 30,000 British troops stationed in Barisal.The Navy pursued and intercepted them in the Indian Ocean, but in the end they were nowhere to be found.It is no wonder that the navy searches for such a fleet in the sea is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.The British army's navigation skills were far more familiar than those of the Huaxing army, and they also opened up many sea routes at sea.Bruce, the commander of the British army, specifically chose one of the most remote roads.Don't say it's the Huaxing Army, even the British Army rarely walks in peacetime.Qiao Zhiqing stared at the globe for a long time, it was impossible for such a large-scale army to flee without any news.They also have such a strong force, naturally they will not easily withdraw to Britain.And fleeing privately on the battlefield is subject to military law.After thinking about it, Qiao Zhiqing finally focused his attention on Australia.There were only three options for the British to evacuate, either to enter Southeast Asia via the Strait of Malacca, or to go all the way south into Australia, or to return to Europe.The Strait of Malacca is now completely controlled by the Huaxing Army, and they naturally will not send them to the door to seek death.A return to Europe was also ruled out, leaving only one possibility.That is to go south to Australia and enter Australia."
Brother Qiao, what are you thinking" Wei Ziyou saw him stunned for a long time at the globe, and thought that he had fallen into some evil."
Ziyou, you add one.Inform the East China Sea Fleet, don't rush back to the Shanghai base first, and go directly to the garrison of the New China Sea State" Qiao Zhiqing said with a serious expression, and his heart immediately became uneasy.The more than 30,000 people of the British army not only have a large fleet strength, but also the army uses advanced breech-loading rifles, but the new China States still use breech-loading rifles.If the British army did go to Australia, it would inevitably upset the military balance here.New Huaxia now has only more than 100,000 troops, and it has no naval strength, so it will definitely not be the opponent of these British troops.Both sides, both tactically and in terms of weapons, are like the difference between the Huaxing Army and the Indian Army.If the New Huaxia Army did not know the situation and fought in a hurry, it would definitely suffer a big loss.While the Taiping forces were now establishing New China in the northeast of Australia, British prisoners, outcasts, and gold diggers had established various states in the southeast.Qiao Zhiqing has not taken care of Australia because of the Indian matter.Unexpectedly, this armed force took the initiative to take action, and the next target was about to start fighting in Australia."
Why are you going to Xinhuaxia, is there something going on" Wei Ziyouxiu frowned, he didn't receive any information about it during this time, and he didn't know what Qiao Zhiqing's intentions were, "You tell the East China Sea Fleet that the British army that disappeared in Barisal is very likely to go to Xinhuaxia."
If they go there and find out that the situation is true, they will report it to the country immediately" Qiao Zhiqing explained briefly, he was just guessing, not saying much."
Okay, I've got it all down.Brother Qiao, is there anything else you want to advise" Wei Ziyou raised his eyebrows, there are really few things that can make Qiao Zhiqing anxious.Of course, Qiao Zhiqing was in a hurry, the Han army had just taken root on Australian soil.At the beginning, because this army was the remnants of the Taiping Army, Qiao Zhiqing was afraid that they would be difficult to control, so he only gave them breech guns.If they were to be landed in Australia by this British army, if they were not careful, the roots that the Chinese nation had just taken root would be completely uprooted.He would rather let the navy spend more military spending than let New China take this risk."
First of all, my mind is all messy.I'll sort it out later, and I'll call you over again" Qiao Zhiqing took a sip of tea, trying to calm down and sort out the things in his mind one by one."
Okay, I'll finish the business at hand later, and then come over and wait for the president's dispatch" Wei Ziyou smiled sweetly, closed the notebook in his hand, picked up the official document handed over by Qiao Zhiqing, twisted his waist and went out.She wished that Qiao Zhiqing would find her if he had something, so that she could stick to him alone.Since in the Tian family compound, Wei Ziyou secretly kissed Qiao Zhiqing.She became more and more fascinated by Qiao Zhiqing in her heart, just like a girl in love, she wanted to be by her boyfriend's side all the time.Qiao Zhiqing didn't have her mood, now that the affairs of India have not yet been settled, there may be problems in Australia, and the drought in Jiangbei, his mind is about to turn around.The crux of the matter was the war in India, and as soon as the good news came, he would be able to move to Australia immediately.Moreover, India was in the harvest season at this time, and it was just in time to plunder the first batch of booty and return to supply the victims at home
