The plan to raid Chishui City was not as successful as expected. Originally, the prairie was vast and sparsely populated, and the route chosen basically did not encounter any nomadic tribes. However, dozens of miles away from Chishui City, they unexpectedly encountered a team of hundreds of horsemen.
, but the opponent was very vigilant. When the behemoth hovering in the air and the chasing cavalry approached, they fired randomly while running away. Finally, some of them escaped back to warn them.
By the time Lu Ming and his troops arrived at Chishui City, the city gates were already tightly closed.
Chishui City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is very steep.
The scale of Chishui City is much larger than that of Geri City. It has a stone city structure and an inner and outer city structure. The inner city is Ma Quanyou's Khan's Palace.
There are more than 50,000 people in the city, including nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc., who have organized gunmen to join the defense team. According to the news from the eastern grasslands, Central Asians and Japanese mercenaries are killing their class. Once the city is broken, they will
Not to mention the safety of property, but also the loss of life.
The battle was extremely fierce. Even though armed helicopters flew over the city and fired indiscriminately at the defenders' heads, they did not frighten the defenders out of their wits. Instead, they fought back fiercely.
Obviously, as we gradually become accustomed to the existence of air weapons from rumors, some current air combat machines such as armed helicopters have lost their deterrence, and their actual combat capabilities cannot be compared with previous results.
One helicopter was even hit by enemy machine gun fire on its fuel tank and fled in thick black smoke, but eventually crashed outside the city.
Fortunately, under the cover of the armed helicopter, dozens of Black Bird soldiers descended from the ropes of the transport aircraft and landed near the city gate. After paying a heavy price and sacrificing nearly half of the soldiers, they finally blew open the city gate.
Armored vehicles entered the city, and armed helicopters cleared the opponent's mortars and small cannons at targeted locations. The situation in the battle immediately reversed.
Wolf cavalry roared into the city and killed everyone they saw.
There was even a nobleman holding a white flag who just opened his mansion and was greeted by fatal bullets.
There were wealthy businessmen, civilians, etc. who tied ropes to escape from the city wall and were shot mercilessly by the Japanese cavalry roaming outside the city.
In the city, even the Black Bird team members were red-blooded, killing many prisoners whether they were holding guns or unarmed people who came into sight.
By the time the overall situation was decided and Lu Ming was focusing on regulating military discipline, Chishui City was already in a state of purgatory.
The Chishui Massacre spread out a few months later and caused an uproar.
However, it is obvious that the Japanese mercenaries who went on an expedition alone are the culprit. His Royal Highness is thousands of miles away and it is impossible to restrain him.
The next day, more than a thousand soldiers from the Austrian-Vietnamese Brigade Cavalry Battalion arrived in Chishui.
Two days later, two more infantry battalions entered Chishui City.
The residents of Chishui City, who were originally under strict supervision, had the opportunity to take to the streets for the first time.
Before martial law is lifted, those who take to the streets without permission are likely to be shot directly.
In the past few days, although there were only a few hundred armed soldiers managing a city with a population of tens of thousands, the surviving nobles and wealthy businessmen who had been hacked no longer dared to resist.
The poor people stayed at home and listened to the various new policies broadcast by the armored vehicles patrolling the streets outside. Although they felt like they were fooling themselves into being children, they were vaguely looking forward to it, and they did not go out to cause trouble.
In fact, when Chishui City announced that it would lift the 24-hour martial law and maintain the curfew, the first good news of the war on the southern front had already come.
When Lu Ming led his troops to Chishui City, he issued a war order to launch an all-out attack on Ma Quanyou's troops.
On the day Chishui City was lifted from martial law, it was the time when the advance troops of the Second Division captured Zhaojiaying, the frontline town of the Six Paths in the Northern Territory occupied by Ma Quanyou.
…
In the study room with the snow-white dome of the Khan's Palace, Lu Ming had a naked arm with a shocking wound, and Oyumiko was changing his dressing.
When the city was breached a few days ago, Lu Ming was not in the armored vehicle, but was at the forefront of the charge.
Captain Wang, who always appeared in the most difficult combat locations, became a military god-like being, and Japanese soldiers worshiped him.
In fact, Lu Ming didn't even know how many times he had been shot, but most of the wounds had closed off the nervous system and repaired themselves.
I left a wound on my arm for counting.
The Battle of Chishui City made Captain Wang valued by the royal family, and he was appointed as the deputy minister in charge of the central grassland, acting on behalf of the minister, and everyone was convinced.
The prairie is legally the private property of the prince.
In fact, this is true, because the Austrian-Vietnamese Brigade is a mercenary force, and the actual military expenses are allocated from the royal family.
Even the Air Service Regiment A and the Air Service Regiment B have the same military expenditures allocated by His Highness the Prince. They can be regarded as mercenaries raised by the Prince, or private armies.
Conquering the steppe can essentially be regarded as the prince's private military operation.
Lu Ming also made regulations for the management of the prairie, which was to make the prairie his own private property and the prairie herdsmen to be free citizens of their own territory and become part of the principality.
In fact, if it is a multi-ethnic country, it is very good to have a royal family that we all respect, as it can avoid many conflicts in the future.
All the people are the subjects of the prince (king) and are equal, and no one is the ruling nation, although objectively speaking, the dominant nation definitely exists.
Downplaying national identity and emphasizing that they are all citizens of the principality is even more basic.
Of course, no matter what, it will rain when my mother wants to get married, and if one day they must break up, then it doesn't matter.
However, in the confederal thinking, in the end, everyone still respects a nominal head of state (king or emperor). It is not bad to be linked together in the form of a confederation. Each country develops its own economy. If you fall behind, you can blame others.
From here, the prairie will be divided into three parts, and the royal family will send three ministers in charge to take over. Now the Eastern Minister and the Central Minister have set off, and they are actually the red-feathered female officials cultivated by Liuli.
In this regard, Lu Ming was also a little helpless. Although he told Liuli several times that the training for royal affairs officers could not be all girls, Liuli turned a deaf ear.
"Sir Wang, you still need to rest." Wrapping Lu Ming's arm in thick gauze, Oyumiko whispered softly beside him.
Lu Ming nodded: "I also want to rest, but now that I'm stable, it's time to settle old scores!" As he spoke, a chill flashed in his eyes.
Oyumiko's heart trembled, this murderous demon king said it was plain, but in fact, he was about to have his head fall to the ground again.
"I heard that the minister will be arriving in a few days, isn't he?" Oyumiko asked cautiously.
Lu Ming shook his head: "These murders cannot be done by people from the real royal family. This is what we do!" He gritted his teeth again, "There must be some who are killing our people and friends who have slipped through the net. Let's punish them."
We need to carry out the urban movement to investigate these people." After a pause, "To appease the herdsmen below, we must also proceed as soon as possible."
Oyumiko glanced at Lu Ming secretly, "Sir Wang, have you ever thought that you are just a scapegoat and that everything you do now will be punished in the future?"
Oh? Lu Ming looked at her.
"I, I was talking nonsense..." Oyumiko picked up the medical kit and left in a hurry.
Lu Ming looked at her back and frowned slightly. She volunteered to join his most powerful company, which must have been approved by her husband Yamamoto Hiroshi.
Originally, I also understood that from a certain perspective, she was also a spy, observing her company's combat patterns, real weapons and equipment, etc.
But recently, I feel that I am afraid that it is not just a spy. As a young and die-hard member of the military department, how can Yamamoto Hiroshi be willing to allow the Otsuo Division to slowly become the armed forces of the Principality of Montenegro?
If given the opportunity, it is inevitable to stir up trouble.
I don’t know, do you have any plans?
Want to see what tricks he can play? Lu Ming shook his head, took out a pen and paper, thought for a while and said: "Call Gao Wenshen!"
…
Soon, two kinds of notices were posted in Chishui City. One was to confiscate all slave owners' property and investigate the slave owners' previous crimes. The notice welcomed poor people to provide clues and was signed by the Chishui Regional Safety Committee; the second notice was:
Distribute grain, meat, etc. to the residents in the city. At the same time, register the resident population, issue the citizenship certificate of the principality, and sign it as the deputy minister of the Prince's Privy Council in charge of the central grassland.
In fact, both the director of the Safety Committee and the deputy general manager are all former Company Commander Wang.
However, the two notices have different meanings. One is to kill people and set fires, and it comes from the Sucheng organization. The other is to be gentle and appease the people, so it comes from the royal family.
