Chapter 112: Measures for local residents

In the port of Porto Alegre, two senior Chinese independent officers of the Chinese Independence Army met for a few months to share their combat experience and achievements with their familiar officers. The following officers discussed lively together. Li Mingyuan then Sit with Rolling Hill and listen to his report on the occupation of Rio Grande do Sul.
"Shizi, the process of sailing and occupying the small town of South Parmaris will not be mentioned. Your subordinate will tell you about the process of conquering Porto Alegre and the progress of the war in the following month."
Rolling Hill raised his eyebrows and fiddled with the captured map of Rio Grande do Sul, saying, "After the occupation of South Parmaris, the subordinates divided the attacking forces into two units, all the way through the offensive from the Patos Lagoon from the sea. Suddenly from land.
In the evening, I marched for five hours, and the land and water forces arrived in Arequipa. At this moment, it was just dawning, and I thought that Shizi used the captive to open the enemy ’s gate when he was in Peru. I also had more than 50 intact hands. The lossless captives, using them to lie to the port of Porto Alegre, may have succeeded, so their subordinates sent half of the soldiers to wear the Brazilian army uniforms and mixed them behind the Brazilian captives, letting them lie about the unexplained encounter in South Palmaris. When enemy forces attacked, they came to report the situation.
The defenders of the city did not doubt the Brazilian captives below the city. Obviously, South Palmaris was not attacked by armed forces such as pirates once or twice. The Brazilian soldiers guarding the gate opened the gate, and the Chinese soldiers mixed among the captives swarmed up and killed the gate. More than twenty Brazilian soldiers behind controlled the gate. Then he led the outside team into the city of Porto Alegre and took the whole city. "
When Luo Linshan talked about successfully stealing the city gate, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. He used a scheme to capture the port of Porto Alegre, avoided the death and injury of the soldiers who stormed the gate, and conquered the port of Porto Alegre at the least cost. It is his relatively perfect record since he joined the Chinese Independent Army.
"The state of Rio Grande do Sul is the foundation of the Chinese Independence Army. The local cities and transportation facilities are the foundation of Chinese property and development. It is a great achievement to win the port of Porto Alegre. When the brothers are properly placed, I I'll give you a reward for narrating merit. "
"Xie Shizi rewarded." Luo Linshan was not modest, and generously accepted Li Mingyuan's encouragement. Then he said, "All parts of the city of Arequipa have been controlled by their subordinates. The captured gunboats were delivered to the Marine Division. The brothers used the captured Brazilian soldiers and Brazilian civilians in the city to be concentrated in a small town on the western outskirts of the city, waiting for Shizi to dispose of it. "
"How many captive Brazilian soldiers and civilians are there?"
"The number of soldiers is not large. There are more than 1,000 in total, and there are 20,000 civilians." Luo Linshan looked at Li Mingyuan's reaction and seemed to be worried about something.
"Not so many civilians in Porto Alegre? How did the extra civilians go back?"
Li Mingyuan's tone was flat and he couldn't see his mood change.
"Shizi, to tell you the truth, there are only 10,000 civilians in Porto Alegre, and the other 10,000 have moved from other places to be resettled with civilians in Porto Alegre."
Li Mingyuan took a sip of tea and was not angry. Luo Linshan breathed a sigh of relief, explaining "After the occupation of Porto Alegre, the humble job had not originally planned to move the Brazilian civilians in the city out of the city for centralized management, but occupied Alegre. Within a few days, there were incidents of Brazilian civilians attacking Chinese soldiers in the city. As a last resort, they could only be moved out of the city to be managed. After the settlement of the port of Porto Alegre, they remained in the city to command some soldiers. Guarding the city, sending seven or eight small troops to occupy other important areas of Rio Grande do Sul,
The main forces of Rio Grande do Sul were assembled in Porto Alegre. The port of Porto Alegre was taken down. All the German soldiers in the defending city were wrapped in dumplings. The defensive forces in other areas of Rio Grande do Sul were empty and scattered. I think it's easy to completely occupy Rio Grande do Sul, but the intelligence that comes back in the next few days hurts the humble job.
According to the soldiers who reported back, the Brazilian militia forces in Rio Grande, Bage, Santa Maria, Erehin and other places are not large. It is easy to send out German soldiers to occupy four important areas, but after the occupation, The escaped Brazilian militia took advantage of the difficulty of defending at night to constantly harass and attack the Chinese units stationed outside. The commander of the garrison unit could not stand and led the army to attack the Brazilian militia. However, because the Brazilian militia was familiar with the local terrain, the Chinese unit was often stationed. As soon as they sent troops, they fled without a trace.
The Brazilian militia repeatedly attacked the Chinese unit stationed by the Tibetans. The following team officers repeatedly complained to me and asked for more soldiers to send reinforcements. I ca n’t send any extra soldiers to them, near Santa Catarina. South Caxias needs to be stationed to defend the Brazilian offensive. The main force of the port of Porto Alegre must be prepared to accept the main force to enter Rio Grande do Sul, so only the disobedient Brazilian civilians can be concentrated and prevented from cooperating. The Brazilian militia is undermining. "
Luo Linshan's consideration is quite comprehensive. The main force led by Li Mingyuan entered the Rio Grande do Sul by road. With the coordination of the troops of Luo Linshan, the difficulty of the transfer of the large troops will be reduced a lot. In the resistance of Ogland, Rollin Hill led most of the troops in the direction of Paraguay and wanted to meet the main forces on the road, but he did not expect that the main forces in the Paraguayan war successively snatched Paraguayan, Brazilian, and Argentine ships. The captured vessels can not only supply more than 30,000 field troops, but also carry a lot of rear troops. With enough vessels, Li Mingyuan temporarily changed the migration plan from a land march to a more secure water migration, which eventually led to Mount Rawling, which was responded to by the Paraguayan border, swooped in, and it wasn't until the first field troops arriving from the sea relayed the news that Rolling Hill led the troops back to Porto Alegre.
The message was inconvenient. Luo Linshan didn't know that the main Chinese troops changed the migration route. He did nothing wrong, but the Brazilian militia forces that frequently resisted were a big problem for Li Mingyuan.
Immigrants from Germany, Italy, and other countries have not flooded into Rio Grande do Sul. The total number of Rio Grande do Sul is now only 50,000 to 60,000. Compared with the number of 100,000 people in the Chinese Independent Army, 50,000 to 60,000 A big wave, but no big trouble does not mean that the Chinese Independence Army can rest assured that they can grow in Rio Grande do Sul.
Most of the 550,000 to 60,000 Brazilian residents are descendants of the Portuguese. Rio Grande do Sul has property land belonging to them. Entering Rio Grande do Sul will inevitably infringe on their land and interests, and face the most realistic interests. Brazilian civilians and There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Chinese Independent Army, and it is difficult to expect them to accept the rule of the Chinese Independent Army with low eyebrows.
Li Mingyuan lowered his head and thought about the problems caused by the resistance of the Brazilian militia. Occupying Rio Grande do Sul is only the first step for the Chinese Independent Army to gain a foothold in South America. It used a limited time to digest the 281,000 square kilometers of Rio Grande do Sul and turned it into an independent Chinese army. The most stable base is the most important thing at the moment, but the local Brazilian residents do not cooperate and refuse to become the Chinese Independent Army to rule the people. The damage caused by frequent resistance will involve most of the Chinese Independent Army ’s energy, and they are busy suppressing it every day. The resistance of the local civilians, and Brazil, which has suffered a lot, are watching from the side, and the Chinese troops have a foothold in South America.
There are only 50,000 or 60,000 civilians in Brazil. The number of young militiamen is far less than the number of Chinese troops, but Li Mingyuan dares not to underestimate them. The descendants of European colonists have cut off the possibility of returning to Europe. The fighting of the indigenous peoples and the test of the primitive environment created their indomitable fighting power. These people regarded themselves as the masters of the South American continent, ran away the suzerain state in the name of revolution, and became masters on the invaded land.
These people's professional fighting skills may not work. However, they are familiar with the local terrain and guerrilla warfare with the Chinese Independent Army, but the Chinese Independent Army who is unfamiliar with their lives is disadvantaged.
The local Brazilian civilians are full of useful talents. Li Mingyuan originally planned to keep them for the Chinese Independent Army, but their resistance changed Li Mingyuan's mind. The unstable Brazilian civilians are a huge scourge in the country to be established. In the case of a small number of people, the local Brazilian people are likely to be associated with the counter-attack Brazilian army, and they will attack and raid the Chinese troops internally and externally. In this case, the hard-earned base of the Chinese Independent Army is likely to be Brazilians. Seizure, Li Mingyuan can not tolerate this situation. Since the local residents do not cooperate, they must use fierce means to ask them to leave Rio Grande do Sul and leave a brand new land for the Chinese Independent Army and later immigrants to settle down.
After deciding on the resettlement of 50,000 to 60,000 Brazilian residents, Li Mingyuan began to arrange ways to deal with Brazilian residents.
Focusing again on the rolled-out map of Rollin Hills, pointing to several important places marked on the map, "The remaining residents of the Rio Grande do Sul mainly gather in Rio Grande, Bage, Santa Maria, and Erechim. Location, the Brazilian people who control these four locations, and the centrally managed civilians of Porto Alegre, 80% of the residents are under our control, so your task is to increase the number of soldiers by 1,000 , And then transported them close to Caxias do Sul, and I dealt with them in the end. "
"Shiko, do you mean to drive all the local residents out of Rio Grande do Sul and give them to the Brazilians?"
Luo Linshan asked in an uncertain tone.
"I guess what you think in your heart, Shizi governs the army strictly, when the soldiers started in Peru, they were not allowed to plunder the local people. Why did they suddenly change their character when they reached southern Brazil?"
Li Mingyuan looked at Luo Linshan with a bit of drama, and it was easy to confirm the guess from the expression on his face.
"I don't dare to work, but I don't understand why Shizi changed the way he treats ordinary people."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I can explain to you slowly." Li Mingyuan withdrew his attention from the map and said, "In Peru, the Chinese Independent Army had just revolted. We are still weak. The army will gradually collapse when it expands. On the other hand, my purpose is not to take root in southern Peru. The looting and deprivation of their land and property has little meaning to the Chinese Independent Army. Therefore, strict requirements for soldiers not to invade local people can reduce them. The hostility towards the Chinese Independent Army is not the same now, we and the Brazilian residents have become opposing enemies, leaving them with only a group of potential enemies who are not with us. In this case, why not just do bad people to the end and directly treat them Get out of Rio Grande do Sul, and solve the problem completely. "
After Luo Linshan heard that, his face changed suddenly. It turned out that the son of the world was not a benevolent monarch who was tolerated by everyone, and the people of the foreign race were ultimately unreliable in the heart of the son.
For the first time, Li Mingyuan really explained to others the attitude towards white South Americans, so he spoke very cleanly and thoroughly. "Lao Luo, foreigners are after all foreigners. We can express our sympathy when they suffer from war, but we agree to keep them because they sympathize with them. It is not a wise choice on your own land. You leave them on your own land. They will not be grateful to you for accepting them. They will only hate that you robbed them of their land, so the best solution is to leave them. Moving out and back to where they should go is the right solution. "
"Shiko, it's easy to drive them away, but they are white-skinned ghosts after all. Will we incur revenge in other foreign countries?"
"Things are not as complicated as you think. It is during the war that we announced the patriotic enthusiasm of the local Brazilian residents. All the people participated in the resistance against the Chinese Independent Army. After the Chinese Independent Army caught them, they did not have the heart to punish them. Therefore, they were driven out of Rio Grande do Sul, while allowing them to carry a part of their property, and the land they left would be sold to the Chinese Independent Army at an appropriate price.
If they do n’t collect their property and sell the land, they will give them the money. With this money, they can buy enough land elsewhere in Brazil. We are all so good to them. What else can others say? "
Li Mingyuan's idea is a bit unreasonable, but his real purpose is to give Brazilians and Western countries a face-saving statement, or else they really think that Western countries are so united and loving?
The Haitian black uprising killed and killed tens of thousands of white people, and killed many British and French soldiers.
After the rise of Britain, France, Germany, and other countries, Ottoman slaughtered white Christians who believed in Christianity. No country sent troops to seek justice for the dead Christians. Therefore, there is no interest in it. (There are too many such examples, not one by one.)
The Chinese Independent Army simply expelled them and allowed them to carry their belongings. This treatment is far better than the above countries. If the British and French powers want to step in, they will have other interests.
After some explanation, Luo Linshan understood what Li Mingyuan was talking about, moved all the local residents, and left the land to the Chinese soldiers. Li Mingyuan explained the task. Luo Linshan thought to complete it as soon as possible, got up to leave, and was stopped by Li Mingyuan.
"Not all Brazilian residents have to be kicked out. The Chinese Independent Army is still very welcome for women who are willing to stay."
What is the most lacking in the Chinese Independent Army? Not food. After searching for more than half of the long-distance consumption of food in Peru, they seized a lot from the Brazilian army, and then supplemented the food left by the Argentine camp and the food stored by the Brazilian army in Rio Grande do Sul. In his hands, the total amount of grain added up is enough for the Chinese Independent Army to use for several months, so the grain gap is not large.
There is no shortage of food ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A large-scale war will not be able to fight within two or three months. Now the most lacking of the Chinese Independent Army is women. Long distance transfers and war losses. After arriving in Rio Grande do Sul, ten There are less than 135,000 people left with 50,000 people. More than 15,000 people have not survived on the road to Rio Grande do Sul, and the dead Chinese cannot be resurrected. More than 130,000 people still have to live.
There are 12,000 Paraguayan women who came to Rio Grande do Sul with the Chinese Independent Army. In addition, the gender ratio of Chinese in South America is still very different. Therefore, it is a pity that all the local school-age women are driven away. Thousands of people also have significant benefits in improving the demographic structure of Chinese in South America.
Li Mingyuan proposed to recruit females of Brazilian age. Luo Linshan nodded and agreed, "Shizi, will all females of Brazilian age stay?"
"Even if there are children and families, try to persuade single women there to stay and tell them that as long as they stay, they will get a lot of land, and they can also choose their favorite Chinese to be husbands."
Li Mingyuan said the conditions are similar to those for recruiting Paraguayan women in Paraguay. With enough land and free choice of Chinese soldiers to marry, and some necessary means, Li Mingyuan believes that many Brazilian women will choose to stay.
