Chapter 154: Supervising Army Eunuch Training Class

A rain in the middle of the night dropped the temperature, and the rain washed away the blood at the foot of the mountain.

The next day at dawn, there was no trace of blood in the air.

If it weren't for a protruding earth bundle in the distance, no one would have known what had happened here.

Eunuch Wei keeps his word. He can live when men come. If men don’t come, they can’t live.

How can those who are superior establish their authority?

Only words must be done!

"The purpose of this battle is completely different from the past battles. It is to completely annihilate the savages of Shengfan and their bases, so that Taiwan can completely stabilize its view as the permanent territory of our Ming Empire!... Therefore, the necessary means, even cruel, can be tolerated."

At the emergency combat meeting held in Pingpufan, Eunuch Wei put forward specific guidelines for the recent clearance operation.

The focus of this policy lies in the four words "using the fan" as "making the fan".

Eunuch Wei asked all localities to actively send envoys to nearby foreign communities, entrusting them with important tasks and giving them a lot of money to divide and win over them, hoping that these foreign communities could act as helpers of the imperial army and jointly eliminate those savage tribes that were hostile to the imperial Ming Dynasty.

In light of the first brigade's victory over the Pingpu eradication campaign, Eunuch Wei even set the victory over the Taiwan Three Guards in two stages.

The first class is to win over and divide; the second class is to thoroughly sweep.

"The first stage should not be fully and more, but should be carried out step by step and advance steadily. Although the fighting power of the Shengfan savages is not as good as the Imperial Army, their skill in terrain is tens of thousands of times stronger than that of the Imperial Army. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of various units must not advance rashly and increase unnecessary losses."

According to the request of Eunuch Wei, the General Staff General Secretary divided the three guards of Taipei, Tainan and Taichung into "based areas", "public security areas" and "clearing areas".

The so-called "base area" is an area dominated by Han people and New Han people. These areas are completely under the rule of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty, and the Imperial Army can get full support from the people in the base area.

"Public security zone" refers to the wild life zone bordering the base area. Some of these areas are hostile to the Imperial Army, but some are not hostile.

According to the order of Eunuch Wei, the military operations in the security areas should be mainly responsible for the security teams in each township, and the Imperial Army only mobilized small groups of troops to assist.

The principle of following is "to support the weak and to force the strong, and to pull the weak and fight the more". After completely eliminating the hostile social groups in the area, the security zone can be completely converted into a base area, a village is built, and a subsidiary of the Taiwan Person Command Commander.

The "clearing area" mainly refers to the wild people's flocks in mountainous areas across Taiwan. There are many tribes in these areas and are also the main enemies of the Imperial Army.

According to the order of Eunuch Wei, the main force of the Imperial Army will be concentrated on the outer periphery of the area of ​​the clearance area, but at this stage it is mainly blockade and will not go deep into the battle. After the security area is completely digested, the troops will be concentrated to fight the clearance area.

The two tactical plans for "tug-of-war clearance" and "iron wall encirclement" were proposed by Eunuch Wei personally and handed over to the staff to implement. At a secret brigade combat meeting, Eunuch Wei openly declared that the Imperial Army should use iron-fisted means in the future combat in the clearance area.

All living places of Neisheng Fanbu Society in the area of ​​the clearance area should be burned. All foods that can be transported away, and all those that cannot be transported away should be burned. Even pots and bowls should be broken, and the streams should be cut off and water should be cut off. If necessary, the body should be thrown into the pond with small waters to pollute...

"No gold, silver, and copper coins are left alone. Take as much as you have!"

"No pig, cow, sheep, chicken, and dog, can't fall any pig, just catch us as many as you have!"

"Iron tools, salt, oil, seeds, in short, destroy everything that can be used!"

“…”

Eunuch Wei was full of murderous intent. The resolution of the Taiwan issue was originally scheduled to be resolved in three months, and now it is delayed until next year, which makes it difficult for my father-in-law to explain to His Majesty the Emperor.

The delay in the war also seriously consumed the small amount of the Imperial Army's grain reserves, and Eunuch Wei's private account has now experienced a serious deficit.

If the Taiwan security war cannot be ended by June next year and a trade point is established along the coast, the imperial army officers and soldiers will have to wear clothes and eat.

The only investment in the near future is the 100,000 taels of the Catholic Church in Macau. Eunuch Wei was originally planning to honor this money to His Majesty, but now he has to temporarily embezzle it.

The joint fleet is conducting drills and preparations for Ryukyu operations. Due to the wind direction, the joint fleet will not start the "Tiger Tiger" combat plan as soon as March next year. Therefore, the fleet is now consuming money and food every day in Keelung Port, and there is no entry.

Forced by helplessness, my father-in-law wrote a letter to Shouning in Beijing, hoping that His Highness the Princess could provide humanitarian assistance. The two major yamen in the Special Administrative Region were also ordered to squeeze out some money from the small amount of funds to support Taiwan. Zhao Quan, who was in charge of the Treasure Committee, also received a secret letter from his father-in-law, asking him to develop as many wealthy people as possible as possible to alleviate his father-in-law's financial crisis.

............

Just when my father-in-law was busy solving the remaining Pingpu people in Pingpu, someone caused trouble in the special zone. This time the trouble was the eunuchs sent by major yamen in the inner court to the special zone. Due to the cooperative relationship between the father-in-law and various supervisors, departments and bureaus, the two major yamen did not dare to offend these people, so they had to quickly spread the news to Taiwan.

"It's really a shame for us..."

My father-in-law was very troubled when he received the news, but he had nowhere to happen. The reason was that he caused this incident himself. In order to reach cooperation with various supervisors, departments and bureaus as soon as possible and establish a permanent strategic all-day cooperative partnership, he generously gave "military supervisors" quotas to each supervisor, and the majority had ten military supervisors, and the fewer had three or five supervisors.

Now that people have come to cooperate, they have started actual production and operation in all aspects according to your Eunuch Wei’s requirements. However, your Eunuch Wei has chosen the "military supervisor" sent by others to the special zone. It’s okay for a short time, but over time, those eunuchs who are dedicated to being eunuchs in the military supervisor will not be happy.

One by one, they wrote letters to Beijing to complain about the wrongdoing and complained about Eunuch Wei's case. One or two were fine, but everyone complained together, and the inner court naturally was dissatisfied with Eunuch Wei. Many supervisors in charge of the supervisory department inevitably thought that Eunuch Wei was suspected of coaxing them, and sent people to express their messages and put pressure on them. If Eunuch Wei did not implement the military supervision plan as soon as possible, everyone would disband.

What can Eunuch Wei do?

Can the cooperative unit that I finally brought in get away?

But this eunuch in charge of the military is really not something that can be used by casual people. Eunuch Wei, the candidates sent by the branch office, have paid attention to it. Most of them are not a big word, but they spend money on their respective bosses, pointing to the military officers who come to charge back their capital and make money by the way.

If we really arrange these people immediately to supervise the Imperial Army troops, Eunuch Wei will be sure that the excellent style of the Imperial Army will be quickly lowered by them.

However, if you brag about yourself, you can't slap yourself in the face in the opposite direction.

So, the father-in-law had an idea and sent a document to the two major yamen, ordering to establish the "Military and Political Training School of the Middle and Senior Military Supervisors of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty" from now on, referred to as the Imperial Army Eunuch Training School.

The school site is located in Taipei, Taiwan. All candidates for military supervisors of all supervisors, departments and bureaus will go to the school to study and train for half a year. After the half-year period expires, the school will be assigned to the Imperial Army units to serve as military supervisors.

The principal is personally appointed by Eunuch Wei.

In the official document, Eunuch Wei specifically emphasized the importance of "middle- and senior military supervisors" and emphasized that all students must go to the school to study. If they cannot report on the specified date, they will be dismissed and restored to the original unit.

In this way, my father-in-law can get a buffer period of half a year. After half a year of study, he should be able to win the position of military eunuch. If he can't bear this hardship and doesn't want to come, my father-in-law will not be with him.

After the official document was issued, my father-in-law put the matter aside and devoted himself to the grand sweep of the remnants of Pingpu.

............

Thangka accepted the task assigned by Eunuch Wei. He organized the tribe members who went down the mountain to form the "Taiwan Volunteer Army". Although the number of this Volunteer Army was only 216, the Volunteer Army played a huge role in the subsequent Pingpu mobilization operation.

In the words of Eunuch Wei, a Thangka can stand up to a squadron, and a Volunteer can stand up to a gang!

The Taiwan Volunteer Army's turnaround in the war intensified the demise of the Pingpu people. For their wives and children and to have a better life, these Pingpu people, who were also extremely familiar with the hunting ground where the ancestors were, resolutely devoted themselves to the battle against their tribesmen.

The Pingpu people on the mountain had to move deep into the mountains under the leadership of the head man Aganon, but Thangka and the Han army bit them like poisonous snakes.

Whenever the Han army occupied a hiding residential area on the mountain, they would inevitably use tincture oil to burn their living facilities and then pollute their water sources. This made the Pingpu people's range of activities on the mountain smaller and smaller, and even the place where they worshiped the totem of the ancestors was destroyed by the Han army.

The two sides finally started a hand-to-hand battle in a dense forest. After the battle, the injured Aganon stepped into the dense forest where they had not yet penetrated before.

In order to boost morale, the last Pingpu people were eliminated in one fell swoop, Eunuch Wei personally followed the army to go deeper and found hundreds of corpses floating on the water in a deep pool.

The corpses are mostly women, children, elderly and weak. Judging from the degree of bubble swelling of the corpses, the death time is not long. It is difficult to judge whether these corpses actively jump into the pond or were driven into it.

"Tangka, Aganon is crazy. If you can't kill him, he will push all your tribe into hell!"

Eunuch Wei set the character of the tragedy in front of him. These old, weak, women and children must be forced by the evil Aganon to join the pond, just to prevent these old, weak, women and children from becoming a burden to the young and strong.

Thangka didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak. He was in pain, but he knew he had no way to go.

"Go, find them, kill them, and be a true civilized person from now on."
