    Chapter 504 Proclaiming himself emperor?  Found a country!  (Second update)

    When the sun sets, the bloody battle in Seoul is completely over.  []

    (Free download of full-text e-book) Seoul, which was originally thought to need to besieged and wait for the second batch of troops and subsequent artillery, was conquered after the Koreans broke through unwillingly.

    The North Korean royal family and various central ministers were all captured and imprisoned in an ordinary camp, guarded by 10,000 infantrymen.  The rest of the army immediately rushed into Seoul and wiped out the resistance forces in the city.

    The next day, after Guo Yong arrived in Seoul with the second group of troops, he learned the whole story of the battle, and was shocked and sweating all over his body.  If the opponent really escapes, then the strategic purpose of this battle will be completely lost.  ,

    At the same time, he also felt deeply guilty for underestimating the enemy. If he had not believed that the Koreans did not have the determination to break through, he would not have ruined an entire cavalry division.

    In the Battle of Seoul, more than 5,400 people died on the United Guards side, of which more than 5,200 were cavalrymen fighting fiercely at the North Gate.  You can imagine how intense the fighting was at that time.

    For this reason, Guo Yong wrote to Xiao Mingqian, requesting punishment for underestimating the enemy.  In addition, he stood in front of all the soldiers and admitted that it was his mistake that led to this huge casualty.

    However, Xiao Mingqian did not punish him.  After all, even Xiao Mingqian himself had some thoughts of underestimating the enemy.  This time can be said to be a wake-up call, warning everyone that no matter what the situation, they must not underestimate the enemy.

    As a general, you must think carefully when planning your strategy, so as not to make the same mistake again.

    However, although there were heavy casualties this time, Taiwan's strategic intentions have been achieved, and this is victory.

    Afterwards, Guo Yong ordered the army to divide into two groups and outflank them in the north and south directions.  Without the unified deployment of the central government, all parts of North Korea could only fight on their own. In less than a month, all organized resistance forces in North Korea were completely wiped out, leaving only some civilian resistance forces.  , but in front of Taiwan's army, it is inferior to North Korea's regular army.

    By early June, North Korea was officially destroyed, and the North Korean royal family was placed under house arrest in Taipei by Xiao Mingqian. Its top officials either committed suicide themselves, or were detained as political prisoners or in labor camps by Xiao Mingqian.

    From October of the second year of Chongzhen to June of the third year of Chongzhen, Taiwan fought several wars without interruption, destroying Jin and North Korea, annihilating more than 100,000 Mongolian troops, and capturing more than 300,000 Ming troops.  He completely completed the rule over the Liaodong region, captured Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi at the same time, and initially completed the political reform there.

    Such a long and large-scale fierce war will also cost Taiwan itself a lot.  The Union Guards lost more than 16,000 killed and more than 21,000 wounded, of whom nearly 10,000 had to be discharged due to injuries.

    In terms of logistics, the cost is unimaginable. Millions of tons of material transportation, if Xiao Mingqian had not started preparing two years in advance, would not have been able to bear such a large-scale war.

    After these eight months of war, Taiwan spent nearly 60 million yuan, which was several times the total military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty, Korea, Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty.

    And even though they captured the wealth accumulated by Hou Jin and North Korea, they could not make up for such a large military expenditure.  In terms of money, Taiwan suffered a loss this time.

    "But everyone in Taiwan, whether it is ordinary people or high-level military officials, believe that Taiwan has made a profit this time, and it has made a lot of money.

    After this war, Taiwan expanded its territory to millions of square kilometers and gained a population of more than 17 million people, of which more than 7 million Koreans will use Taiwan as a transit point to travel to Southeast Asia and Australia in the next ten years.

    For the island of Taiwan, this will be a cheap labor force of more than 7 million people, which will have an immeasurable role in promoting Taiwan's economic development.

    And after they arrive in Nanyang and Australia, they will inevitably accelerate the development speed there.  Under such circumstances, its impetus to Taiwan's economy is unimaginably large.

    At the same time, after the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi join Taiwan, the labor resources of millions of people cannot be treated like North Koreans, but the addition of such a large market will inevitably greatly expand the consumption of Taiwanese goods.  ability.

    The three provinces are different from Houjin and North Korea. They have huge wealth accumulation themselves.  In the past, this wealth was concentrated in the hands of wealthy families, but after reforms, this wealth began to spread to the private sector, increasing the consumption power of ordinary people in the three provinces.

    At the same time, after Taiwan adopted encouraging policies, a large number of people began toMoving along Southeast Asia and Australia accelerated the development there, and also brought Chinese civilization there, accelerating the assimilation of the indigenous people there and later the Annamites and Vietnamese.

    The expansion of territory also provides more sources of raw materials for Taiwan¡¯s industrial development.  Taiwan's steel production has been growing slowly over the years, and until now the total steel output is only about 1.2 million tons.  Firstly, because of the saturation of Taiwan's market, and secondly, because of the limitations of raw materials, especially coal production, steel has never been able to develop on a large scale.

    But after occupying Liaodong, these restrictions will completely disappear.  Even if Xiao Mingqian is not familiar with the distribution of domestic iron and coal minerals, he also knows that there is a huge place in Liaodong with an astonishing amount of coal and iron reserves - Anshan.

    ¡°And this is an area where Han people are concentrated, so Xiao Mingqian will build a steel production base here that is larger than that in Taiwan.

    With this base, the development of Liaodong region will inevitably be put on the fast track, and the economic development of Taiwan as a whole will also usher in another opportunity for rapid development.

    The large-scale expansion of population and land has caused great enthusiasm to erupt again in Taiwan. They have tasted huge sweetness from territorial expansion. This time there is not only a large expansion of territory, but also a large expansion of population. It is  Individuals can also know that another opportunity for great wealth growth has arrived.

    After the destruction of North Korea, Xiao Mingqian divided North Korea into four provinces, completely abolished the Korean script that had just been implemented for several decades throughout North Korea, and promoted Chinese language, abolished Korean culture, and promoted Chinese culture.

    Although he was strongly resisted by many North Koreans, Xiao Mingqian was very determined and forcibly suppressed all anti-terrorism activities, which resulted in nearly 800,000 deaths in North Korea in the following ten years.  This was only restricted to this extent when Xiao Ming did not embarrass the captured Koreans!

    "Lord Governor, the area we control now is more than twice that of Ming Dynasty, and the population under our control is close to 40 million. It is very inappropriate to still use Taiwan as our name. Therefore, we respectfully invite you to ascend the throne as emperor, formally establish the country, and establish  The name of the country.¡±

    Xiao Mingqian had just returned to Taiwan. Tang Hongsheng gathered all the officials of the military government and formally proposed support to Xiao Mingqian.
