Chapter 358: Southern Expedition and Northern War Twenty-Three Sweeping (10)
Madaram in this era was the center of Java Island. Its population was extremely dense. However, Yin Feng and others brought their troops all the way. These people rarely resisted the foreign Tang army. One was the main rule of the territory directly under the Sultan of Madaram. The army commanders followed Sultan Agong to fight in Jinglibune. Madaran did not have the ability to organize the leader; the second is that this Madaran dynasty was originally based on military violence and heavy taxes. Islam did not yet Popularization. The Javanese natives just surrendered to the feudal power and had no centripetal force on this emerging dynasty.
Madalan civilians have only heavy obligations and rarely have political rights. This is a general feature of the feudal kingdom. Taking the Beijialang Anzhou at that time as an example: residents of all provinces must pay tribute to the governor in a year equivalent to 4,000 yuan. Liar (9,000 gulf) of rice and coconut oil. In wartime, it is necessary to conquer military service and there is no reward. This is also a general phenomenon in feudal countries based on rural communes. In addition, there are also non-rural areas. The residents of the commune must pay taxes and serve in the military. Most roads, bridges and all public works are built and maintained by residents' voluntary labor. In addition, there is also the so-called capitation tax. Married Javanese people receive heads. Tax 10 rupees. The last marriage is collected 5 rupees. The conquered areas, such as the Madura people and the Sulumayi people, will be paid 20 rupees (about 50 rupees). For Chinese people in the Madaran rule .Married ones should be 50 verties. Unmarried ones should be 40 verties.
Yin Feng and others are now in the north of Kerta, the capital of Madaran. On the plains in the south, there are fertile fields and villages and towns everywhere. Although Kerta has no walls, it is not like a royal city. The population is indeed extremely dense. The guide of Laban'antubon said: There are tall towers and alarm bells on the corners of Kerta. As long as this alarm bell is ringed, 300,000 armed personnel can be summoned from the adjacent villages and towns.
The armed personnel gathered under the alarm bell these days are right in front of Yin Feng. There is absolutely nothing 300,000. There are only one hundred thousand people.
On the Chinese Army, tens of thousands of Javanese natives came to join us: it turned out that these were subjects of the Turkish kingdoms such as Basuluan, Pazhang, and Virasono. They fought with the East Java coalition and Madaran army last year. After the failure, he was looted to Madaram and worked hard for the construction of Xindu. Among them were the Hindus from Balaban Antu. Seeing the Hindu flag in the Chinese army, he took the initiative to surrender to the Chinese army and led East Java. The coalition prisoners surrendered to the Chinese army in large numbers.
Therefore, the internal situation of the Madaran capital Kerta was fully controlled by the Chinese army.
Yin Feng ordered Li Xing to lead the troops and the Fifth Division, each of the First Division had a regiment to rest. There was no need to wait for the artillery troops to arrive and launch an attack immediately. The infantry brigade, which had just changed from the marching situation to the camping state, left behind the construction. Half the campsite. Line up and attack.
Madaran's former Prime Minister Chulumartani is nearly seventy years old. He is a hero of Sultan Agong's father. He is now in a semi-retired state. The Chinese army suddenly invaded the Sultan directly under Madaran, which made Kerta's The left-behind nobles and generals were in panic. They had to invite the old Prime Minister Chulumartani to come out to lead the defense affairs again. Mai Xiaoliu found out from the Javanese Hindus who came to join: the old Prime Minister had sent first aid letter to Yogyakarta, Ba Zhang and Ge Du dispatched troops to capture Kerta before the Madaran army assembled. Yin Feng ordered the entire army to attack Kerta.
Yin Feng drew all cavalry reconnaissance teams from each unit and formed a temporary cavalry battalion with 800 cavalry. First, he rushed to the village west of Kerta. Then, the soldiers of the Third Division concentrated all the thunder rockets they carried with him. Get up and fired a volley at the indigenous militia of Kerta who were gathering. A total of more than 1,000 thunderbolt rockets roared at the Madaran who was in chaos.
Amid the whistles of dozens of conchs and the commanders of each sentry, the 18,000 Chinese infantry soldiers arranged a five-mile-long horizontal line. Under the bombardment cover of more than a dozen division-owned field artillery deployed on both wings. It began to advance slowly towards the densely packed Madarans in the south.
The Madarans who were temporarily convened were simply a group of mobs. They belonged to various feudal lords and villages. The more people there were, the more chaos they became. More than a thousand thunderbolt rockets blew the dense crowds as if they were in a pot. Most of them looked like As the artillery troops of the Chinese army's rear squad arrived one after another, the guns were immediately launched. The field artillery positions began to be fired. The field artillery involved in the artillery increased from more than a dozen at the beginning to more than sixty. The raindrop-like solid heart The bullets smashed bloody alleys in the Madaran crowd. The latest production of shrapnel knocked the Madarans to the ground in groups. The explosion of flowering grenades exploded into open spaces in the crowd.
The heavy artillery troops towed by the elephant have not arrived yet. However, a group of ox carts transporting large PILI rockets have arrived. There are ten large PILI rockets that are more than one person tall and the thickness of a person's waist. They are from the Weapon Research Department The craftsmen personally escorted it because this heavy rocket is still in the trial production stage.
Ten huge rockets were dragging their long tail smoke into the air. Two exploded in advance in mid-air. The eighty-pound iron shotgun they carried flew to where they were; the other two flew into mid-air and then went to snakes. The situation flew far to the south sky. I don't know where it finally landed; the other giant shotgun rockets landed on the dense crowd in front of the Sultan Palace of Kerta. After the continuous explosion, a piece was created. Thousands of Madaran people screamed and were hit by tens of thousands of iron bullets to the ground.
Yin Fenghe, as deputy commander of the Fifth Division of the entire army's reserve team, Luo Quanxiu, student battalion commander Wang Shuowang, General Staff Colonel Kutre, personal consultant missionary Lu Ruohan and others held telescopes behind the artillery position to watch the battle situation. Seeing this tragic scene .Lu Ruohan kept drawing crosses on his chest: "This is not a war. This is a massacre. A unilateral massacre."
Luo Quanxiu shook his head and said, "The Madarans are completely unorganized. They dare to gather so many people when they are so close to us. It seems that our Fifth Division doesn't have to attack at all..."
Yin Feng also shook his head: "This is a gap in technology and tactics. And there is a gap of 100,000 miles. This gap cannot be filled by the number of people."
The front line of the Chinese infantry, lined up in two four rows, has begun to fire volleys. The chaotic Madarans are no longer able to set up a formation to fight. It can be said that before they can shoot one arrow, they cut one sword. At that time, there was no hope of victory. In fact, half of the soldiers in the Chinese army participated in the battle were recruits after a new round of reorganization and expansion. After the baptism of blood and fire in this battle, these recruits saw blood. .Really become a warrior.
As the Chinese infantry entered the range, they began to shoot at the Madarans. The 100,000 Madaran armed forces gathered in the north of Kerta collapsed. They looked south, east and west in front of the constantly advancing Chinese army. Flee. No one dared to face the impact of tens of thousands of flintlock rifles erupting with fire bullets in the Chinese army.
Nearly 5,000 armed personnel gathered temporarily in Madaland died in battle, and more than 5,000 people trampled on each other. In the subsequent sweeps, nearly 10,000 Madalands were killed. Many famous motors were The Lanxun family was exterminated. The priestly teacher of Sultan Agong in the palace was killed. Several Islamic imams hid in the mosque and escaped; Yin Feng once ordered not to burn the mosque. All night, blood was everywhere in the city of Kerta Flowing into a river, fires soar into the sky.
That night, the capital of Madaran, Kerta fell.
Although Yin Feng made sufficient preparations for this battle, he captured Kerta so easily, and all the soldiers of the Chinese army were overjoyed. When Li Kuiqi arrived with heavy siege cannons, the war had ended. The palace had already After being captured, Yin Feng had already moved into Sultan Agong's bedroom.
The feudal lords and aristocratic ruling institutions at all levels of the Madaran Dynasty collapsed. The Sultan Guards also collapsed collectively. Under the leadership of those Hindus and indigenous laborers, the Chinese army quickly controlled the palace and treasury of Sultan Agong. All the wealth accumulated by Madaran Sultan fell into the hands of the Chinese army. At the same time, Sultan Agong's princess and two young sons were also captured. The Chinese cavalry bypassed Kerta and defeated the escaped family in one fell swoop in the south. Remaining troops of the Sultan Guards. Captured the old Prime Minister Chulumartani.
The day after conquering Kerta, Yin Feng divided his troops into four and marched into the territory of the Madaran Dynasty directly under the Sultan. The artillery troops cooperated with foreign mercenaries and the Third Regiment of the Fifth Division to carry out the prosperous and long history. The ancient city of Yogyakarta blasted the city walls. Foreign mercenaries burned and killed and looted the city. They almost razed the Xicheng District of Yogyakarta to the ground. They massacred tens of thousands of indigenous people and robbed tens of thousands of people. The Fifth Division troops and artillery soldiers did not Idle and influenced by mercenaries, they also set fire to burn the Dongcheng District of Yogyakarta Ancient City. However, due to military discipline, they killed few people. In addition, the palace of the Prince of Yogyakarta was in Dongcheng. They also received a lot of them. The main grassroots supervisor of the Fifth Division was originally the backbone of Yan Siqi's Fifth Regiment. He has always been famous for his murderous aura and poor discipline. After several trainings, his murderous aura was slightly restrained. However, the true nature of looting was still inherited.
The troops, mainly composed of temporary cavalry battalions, went south and chased the troops led by a brother of Sultan Agong. They chased them until the Pacific Ocean before capturing them.
At the same time, the troops of the Fifth and Third Division marched towards the Bazhang area (Soul) to the east. Along the way, they implemented harsh disciplines: all villages and towns that resisted were razed to the ground. Tides of indigenous refugees were in Central Java The most prosperous heartland fled everywhere. Fireworks of death and destruction swept across the central area of Madaram.
Yin Feng also sent a regiment of the First Division to directly take Wanyoumas in the west and cut off all the food and salary channels of the Madaran army in Jingleben.
The Chinese army swept the entire Central Java region with blood and fire, and pushed the deadly and destructive fireworks to the entire Java Island.
While the Chinese army's main force conquered Kerta, three flying battleships and one Yuanzi battleship bombarded the port of Beijialangan with three hundred cannons. Cooperating with the two battalions of the Fifth Division and the sailor land that advanced westward, they were two battalions of the Fifth Division and the land of the sailors that were sailing westward.
The team attacked the city guarded by the prefect of Beijialangan. Within one day, they captured this important port of the Madaran Dynasty.
In East Java, twenty Chinese Taiwan fleet cruisers approached the city of Sishui. Two battalions of the Nanyang Brigade bombarded Sishui with field guns...
