1890 King of Southeast Asia
Chapter 258 Southern Africa
Time is always fast, especially for people in peace, but for people in the war, time is difficult.
Due to several failures in southern Africa, the British army, especially the Battle of Leidi Smith, was promoted as a shameful sneak attack on the Boer.
More than 5,000 British troops died, and the last time was the Crimean war against Russia, the British's good emotions were stirred, and Prime Minister Solzburi's declaration of "the war to the end" Get support.
As of March, the British army had increased troops 250,000 to southern Africa. In Kaipu, the expeditionary army was established.
In mid -February, Lord Roberts changed its strategy, and the soldiers were divided into two roads. Roberts took 7 infantry divisions and one cavalry division to attack Kimbabilen; Chief of Staff took 3 divisions and 1 brigade to Olanzi Liberty State. go ahead.
On March 1st, Kimberley was knocked on the door by a hundred cannons, and the Boers began to fight alley.
"Franco, my friend, you are still alive!" Wang Tinghan looked at Franco, who was embarrassed.
"Shete! I won't die if you die! Why do you feel this?" Franco asked curiously.
The place where Wang Tinghan was located was not available from the battlefield, and there was no tactical effect, a barren manor.
"I was sold by your people, and the British found my arsenal." Wang Tinghan stared fiercely at Franco.
"Impossible! Brave Boers could not betray friends." Franco said without conford.

"There is no impossible, the British sent a connection and went straight to the horse. If we were not running fast, I would also explain where it was!" Wang Tinghan was afraid of one line. If he had not hated the British guy, he went into the basement directly, Then he has nothing.
"Then? Your weapons have been seized?" Franco said anxiously.
"Ma Yue, yes." Wang Tinghan nodded: "That's the goods prepared for you, a large number of weapons, bullets, and shells, and now it's gone."
Speaking, Wang Tinghan looked at Franco, and his eyes thoughtful: "Are you here to buy weapons? How is Kimberley?"
"Nothing ..." Franco didn't answer, and some lost soul.
"I did n’t make the British better. I looked like this, but I was caused by my goods." Wang Tinghan did not ask for the time being and kicked Franco's foot.
"Hey!" Wang Tinghan shouted with Franco.
"It's over, it's over 1 cut ..." Franco said with a soul.
"Weapons? Ammunition? Or ... medicine!" Wang Tinghan said gently.
"Do you have a way? You have a way, right! How much do you want? You can do it!" Franco grabbed Wang Tinghan excitedly.
"Do you tell me first, is Kimberley still in your hands? How many people, who is the commander?" Wang Tinghan dialed Franco's arm.
"Still there, at least when I came out, maybe two thousand, maybe 1,500? The commander was George." Franco said uncertainly.
Wang Tinghan turned his eyes, except for the commander's name, nothing else said nothing.
"The enemy has come to more than 100,000 people, and there is a cavalry division, you arranged 2,000 people?" Wang Tinghan was unbelievable.
"More than 100,000 people hit you with so many cannons, and have been fighting for so long?"
Franco returned to the soul: "3,000 people, but many people died under the British shells, and the rest were also heartbroken. We urgently lacked medicines and weapons. Olanzhi still had a lot of gold. We would pay. "
Wang Tinghan is ready to leave. The generals of the 1st group may exceed 50 casualties. Giving them weapons is a waste. The domestic means to find trouble for the British, even if they do not make money.
But seeing the map on the Franco's car, as for why he found that he was going to grab the carriage.
"The British came to 8 divisions, and it was impossible for only one Kimberley to laid Kimberley. To the east is the capital of Oraland,
There are also 3 divisions in the East. After Kimbeli has gone, Roberts chose to counterattack Ledsmith. The last ten and one division's heavy soldiers will be placed in front of Bonquan. Can you stop it? "Wang Tinghan picked up Franco's map, and combined with known intelligence to analyze the Franco.

"What?" Franco looked like hearing the sky.
Wang Tinghan ignored him, but died at the map 1.
"Ten 1 Division!" Franco widened his eyes: "What to do, what to do ..."
"Why do you scatter the troops so much? For fun?" Wang Tinghan talked.
The Boer 1 combat forces of about 50,000 people are distributed in 78 locations.
"Is Duban hit it?" Wang Tinghan was considering running the road. The Boer people really did not win. At this time, they were divided.
"No ..." Franco looked at Wang Tinghan.
"I don't know what you are doing. At least 10,000 troops are wandering in the wild. If these cities, you ca n’t beat it if you ca n’t beat it. Then, 8,000 people went to the port in the north to fight ... "Wang Tinghan threw the map 1 and was ready to leave.
"Do you have a way right?"
Wang Tinghan 1 foggy? I have a way? Why don't I know? Do I have a way to save the situation?

"What can we use to fight those we can't win? There are still 6,000 people in Ladysmith. Is the scenery there particularly beautiful?" Wang Tinghan took out a list from his bag.
"Here are all the supplies I can mobilize. Which ones do you need?" After all, they are friends, and Wang Tinghan still doesn't want this person to die here.
As long as he performs well, he should be the first to withdraw. After that, just leave it to fate.
"Teach me, I know you are from the regular army, teach me! How can I save my country?" Franco grabbed Wang Tinghan.
Wang Tinghan was speechless. The ancestors of the Boers were Dutch. Ten years ago, Nanhua killed a group of Dutch. Now the descendants of the Dutch came to beg him.
"If I were you, I would seize the leadership of Kimberley, prepare enough medicines, food, and weapons, give up Kimberley, and lead the troops to retreat to the northwest, bypass the main force of the British army, rush straight to the Cape, and cut off the British supply." Wang Tinghan couldn't help but say.
"This is the only feasible way. Cut off the British supply, and then defend the front layer by layer to consume the British army and wait for the counter-attack."
Looking at Franco who had successfully recharged, Wang Tinghan had to interrupt his enjoyment.
"The casualties will be huge. It's okay for you to face the logistics. There are more than 1,000 people. The British logistics troops can't beat you, but the front defense troops will bear huge casualties. If you don't have a firm will, no matter how much you do, it will be useless."
"No! The Boers are all determined warriors. We will drive away the invading British army. Where are your goods? I want them all! As for payment..." Franco thought about it. There is still gold in Kimberley, but it seems not enough.
"I can keep an account for you, but remember, if you don't pay it back, there will be no next batch of goods. I can reveal a little that my authority is not high. The materials we store can arm another Boer coalition." Wang Tinghan thought about it. It is most important to make trouble for the British.
As for making money, it has already made enough money.
"Don't worry, I am an honest Boer!" Franco began to write an IOU.
Wang Tinghan rolled his eyes. If you can be trusted, how can I be so embarrassed? Fortunately, this place is about to be abandoned, and I am the only one left.
…………
Kimberley.
"Captain George is dead, Commander Franco, now you are the supreme commander, what should we do?" said the soldier with blood on his face.
"Dear warrior, assemble the soldiers, we will withdraw from Kimberley." Franco was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be sad or happy.
"Are we going to escape? Like a coward?" The soldier said excitedly.
"No! We retreat to the northwest, then go south and attack the Cape! At least we have to delay the British!" Wang Tinghan said loudly.

"This..." A big detour, without any supplies, 9 deaths and 1 life, but it is indeed useful.
"Go and pass the order." Franco said calmly.
"Yes!"
"The situation is better than expected, you still have fighting spirit." Wang Tinghan smiled-he is now Franco's personal military adviser.
On March 1, the British army broke through Kimberley. On March 2, two divisions attacked Ladysmith. On March 3, the British army on the eastern front also attacked Ladysmith.
On the same day, Wang Tinghan, with 600 Boer dragoons, destroyed three British supply points, killed more than 200 whites and more than 3,500 Afghans.
After this battle, Wang Tinghan took control of the actual military power.
………
"Promulgate the Imperial Constitution, and gradually complete the establishment of the parliament within ten years..."
"Appoint Xu Hui as the first prime minister of the empire and form a cabinet..."
"The corps, provinces and below basic units will not be changed..."
"Change the nature of the land, military nobles can obtain land, but have no right to govern..."
"Announce the first batch of imperial titles..."
Liu Yiming took a series of measures, including maintaining the civil service system, titles, etc. To maintain the centralized system, an integrated civil service system is necessary, otherwise there will be endless wrangling.
"Hey! Zhao Dabao, you are the only viscount in our circle, you have to salute us!" Xie Hui teased.
"Alas! If I had known, I would have gone to Arabia, and Zheng Lei would have picked it up."
The first batch of titles: 1 Marquis Xu Hui, 6 Earls, 6 Military Officers, 5 plus Zhao Jiaxing, more than 20 Viscounts; 670 Barons.
Of course, there are also various honorary titles, non-hereditary, with an allowance of 8-12 yuan per month. Liu Ming conferred more than 300 titles in one breath.
"What do you think happened today? Lao Wang was called back from Luzon." Yang Tao asked in a low voice.
"Why are you looking at me? I have been staying in the shipyard all this time!" Zhao Jiaxing saw that everyone was looking at him, and his face was speechless.
~app, -app. .
"Don't say it, everyone has become a decent person." Liu Ming walked in.
"You've been given the rank of Major General, do you regret it?" Liu Ming originally planned to give them the rank of Lieutenant General, and Wang Yang, Yang Tao and Zhao Jiaxing would be given the rank of General after a transition.
Now? Not giving you the rank of Brigadier General is good enough.
Everyone stood up in a flash.
"Report! No regrets~ Alas~" Xie Hui covered his foot, but he didn't see who stepped on it.
"Let's not waste any more time. Today we're talking about the reform of the Navy and the division of defense zones. The Navy should be mentally prepared!" Liu Ming nodded, and Secretary Wang handed out the plan.
Prepared?
Several people looked at each other.
