Chapter 558 Donghua Army(1/2)

"Report to General Tian that the enemy has crossed Colon City and is coming towards the Xinxiang River (i.e. Urubamba River)." The horse whistle rode to the front of the headquarters, dismounted, ran into the headquarters, and headed towards Donghua.

Army Commander-in-Chief Tian Fang reported the situation on the front line.

Xiao Mashao, who has always dreamed of becoming a soldier, has finally become a cavalryman.

Because he was young and not big, but his riding skills were very superb. Therefore, the officers of the cavalry regiment appointed him as a messenger.

Tian Fang and Ma Chun stayed with Dong Shutong to work together.

Ma Chun is mainly responsible for government affairs, while Tian Fang is responsible for military affairs.

Most of the special operations team members brought over by Tian Fang became officers in the Donghua Army. Later, Dong Shuheng selected some graduates of the military academy to serve in Peru.

The Donghua Army was able to be established so quickly mainly due to the blood transfusion of the Renaissance Army. Their organization and tactics are similar to those of the Renaissance Army.

However, due to the number of troops, the current Donghua Army is only established at the regiment level.

Unlike his younger brother, Dong Shutong knew a little bit about everything and had to intervene in everything.

He was originally a businessman, and although he had read the books of sages, he basically knew nothing about leading troops to fight or governing the country.

He concentrated on Donghua's business and production, on making money, and then improving the lives of his subordinates. As for local management, Ma Chun was responsible for all.

Ma Chun also received special training when he was in Huaihai Navy. Although he had managed a place, he was still able to manage the young Hu Ning with ease.

It's just that the ethnic composition here is a bit complicated. The Indians have their own tribal chiefs and their own living habits. You can't just control them in the same way as the Han people.

Fortunately, Dong Shutong married a good wife.

Zhumu knows the customs of the Indians well.

Not only that, Zhumu has also received a new education and is no stranger to the outside world.

At the same time, she is also an Indian war goddess.

Combining many auras into one, Zhumu has a very high prestige among Indians.

The management of the Indians was left to Zhumu.

Zhumu knew that Indians were not good at management.

Therefore, Donghua’s management model implements a dual administrator system.

In places with a large number of Chinese people, the majority are Chinese, supplemented by Indians.

In places where there are many Indians, the majority are Indians, supplemented by Chinese.

In this way, Donghua's administrative management structure was established.

In terms of administrative divisions, Donghua adopts the model of large regions, districts (farms), towns, and villages.

Currently they have two regions, one is the original Huning region, and the other is the newly developed Hezhong region to the east.

The rivers in this transoxiana region refer to the Ene and Urubamba rivers.

The Hezhong Region is the area between the two rivers to the east of the Junin Region. It is similar in size to the Junin Region. Its area can be as large as a prefecture of the Fuxing Army.

Each region, district, and town has administrative officers to manage administrative affairs, magistrates to manage local security, and judges to adjudicate disputes.

Because there are few people in Donghua, there is no need to set up so many officials.

Dong Shutong is now the great ruler, that is, the supreme consul.

According to his brother Dong Shuheng's vision, Donghua will establish a United Kingdom of Chinese and Indians in the future, and Dong Shutong and Zhumu's child will definitely be the king of this kingdom.

From now on, the territory of the Donghua Kingdom will not be limited to Peru.

They will unite with more Indians in the future to take back the land that once belonged to the Indians.

In addition, there is also the issue of ethnic integration. In the future, Chinese and Indians will definitely be integrated together.

Otherwise, the nation will be a hidden danger to this kingdom in the future.

This problem has begun to be slowly solved. Intermarriage, cultural education, and the unification of language and writing are all for the better integration of the two.

Of course, the most important thing is to increase the number of Chinese. Thanks to the Spanish massacre of Indians for hundreds of years, the number of Indians is still very rare.

The Renaissance Army will continue to export more Chinese to South America.

In today's America, although the descendants of white people have real power, they control most of the land and the main resources.

However, the white population is still too small and can only be considered a minority group.

This population ratio does not match the power and resources they control.

This is their weakness, which means that the current control of Hispanic whites in South America has not yet reached an irreversible level.

If the Chinese can unite with the Indians, they may not be able to drive them away.

You must know that these Spanish immigrants no longer have a strong Spain to back them up.

They abandoned their mother country. Likewise, their mother country is no longer strong.

But Donghua still has a strong backing.

The example of Hispanics in South America tells us that a strong mother country is always very important.

Without the backing of a strong mother country, the small countries they established overseas could only be bullied by others.

Several countries founded by the Anglo-Saxons have developed well in later generations. Not to mention the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are not bad.

The Latin American countries established by the Spanish and Portuguese ended up becoming the back garden of the United States.

This also has something to do with the premature decline of Spain.

Just like now, the Renaissance Army has just defeated the Spanish and driven Spain away from the Pacific Ocean.

The Renaissance Army can continuously transport personnel and materials through the Pacific Ocean.

If Donghua is really ready to replace Peru, then Liu Dahai's fleet can support it from the sea at any time.

In the military, Dong Shutong trusted and relied on the officers sent to him from China by Dong Shuheng.

At the same time, some Indian officers were promoted.

But these Indians are only suitable to be low-level officers.

Before the arrival of the Chinese, the Indians still used the most primitive method of fighting.

Zhumu can become the war goddess of the Junin Indians because she has an extra thinking brain compared to those Indians who only have muscles.

Therefore, she led Hu Ning's people to win many battles.

Finally, she put on an eagle feather crown for herself and became the goddess of war.

Tian Fang was the first officer to arrive here, and he was also the highest ranking officer.

He currently serves as the commander-in-chief of the Donghua Army.

Most of the middle-level officers below were his former subordinates.

The entire Donghua army slowly grew and developed based on these people.

Now they have undergone a second expansion, and the number of infantry has reached seven regiments, one artillery regiment, and four cavalry regiments, with a total strength of nearly 20,000 people.

This is already the limit of what they can provide.

Most of the weapons and equipment for these soldiers were brought by the Renaissance Army's fleet. Otherwise, the families in Donghua would not be able to build an army of this size.

This army was composed of Chinese and Indians, with Chinese accounting for two-thirds and the remaining one-third being Indians.

Almost all the Chinese who migrated here are young and strong, and are basically suitable to become soldiers, so Chinese soldiers are easy to select, which makes the number of Chinese in the army account for the vast majority.

In terms of equipment, this army is equipped with Ishui front-loading rifled guns, and some of them have just recently shipped F1953 breech-loading rifles.

This level of equipment is nothing in Europe now, but here in Latin America, if the number of people is about the same, it can defeat almost all armies.

The Peruvian regular army still uses smoothbore flintlock muskets.

The combat level here has always been relatively low, which has also restricted the development of equipment in various countries.

This time the white people in La Montania in the east provoked a war against Donghua.

It may not be a good thing for Donghua.

Previously, Dong Shutong and the others were still looking for reasons for how to expand their power externally.

Now these people are basically arriving at your doorstep.

If you launch an attack on the manorial forces to the east simply for the purpose of liberating the Indians, you will most likely be besieged by all the surrounding forces.

Dong Shutong established the base camp on the bank of Huning Lake with difficult terrain because he considered that if one day the white manor owners united and they were unable to resist, they would retreat to the mountains.

This time it was the white plantation owners of La Montaña who took the initiative to attack them, so they could naturally counterattack in self-defense.

Even the Peruvian government can't stand up and stand aside.

Unless those hacienda owners provide enough benefits to the Peruvian government.

But now the Peruvian government is controlled by the mining owners in the west, and their relationship with the manor owners in the east is not good.

The reason is very simple. In recent years, mine owners have made a lot of money by exporting minerals and guano.

However, due to geographical reasons, it is difficult to export Peruvian food.
