295 verses of the spring cold 3

The fiasco of Liu Fa's 100,000 army has actually proved that the entire Western Army has fallen into unusability, but the momentum of the previous achievements has maintained a bluffing posture, but the harsh living environment of himself and his family has forced the soldiers of the Western Army to work hard to fight spiritually, but the Great Song Dynasty does not know that the Western Army can no longer afford to play the role of the town.

However, in the battle of encircling and suppressing Tibet, the 80,000 officers and men of the Xihe Army fought bravely, tenaciously and skillfully, and the whole army, from the generals to the soldiers, as a whole was a high degree of unguarded and unguarded energy, forgetting life and death, and the generals of the past also had their own selfish calculations in the battle, regardless of the overall interests and the battle situation, the soldiers' military discipline was lax, they were scattered and afraid of war, and even the masses did not obey military orders, refused to fight hard, and fled together without permission at critical moments on the battlefield, and so on, all of which were gone, showing some characteristics of the Western Army's hard-fought war.

In this war, the performance of the Xihe Army was full marks, even if it fought to the death with the Jin Army, whose self-confidence and combat effectiveness were bursting, I am afraid that it would be able to kill the Jin Army so terrified that it could only flee in defeat.

There are many reasons why the Xihe Army did not magically trigger and regain the morale of the old Western Army as soon as it became the army of the Pirate Empire, and suddenly regained such might. You can't lose the face of the Western Army, and you can't let the proud pirate army look down on you; There is a way out, a new and beautiful life beckons to me, and I can finally get out of this bitter cold and barren land that is always in danger and turmoil, and there is only endless despair...... Most importantly, this is the last battle.

The marshal of the pirate prince has a clear warrant: all the officers and men of the Western Army will retire after they arrive in the pirate country, regardless of whether they are generals.......

That is to say: if you become a person in the pirate empire, you just want to be a soldier and are willing to fight for fame and fame may not be able to do it, it depends on whether the pirate country thinks you meet the empire's recruitment and employment standards, whether you need it, and whether you are willing to recruit you into the army. If not, you don't need to ...... It is useless if you have the ability of a god soldier and the fighting spirit to serve the country to the death. What should you do, choose other things that suit you, and live a stable life in accordance with the law.

The pirate empire was completely different from the Great Song Dynasty, looting and conquering everywhere, and it seemed to be reckless, but the focus of the country was not war at all, but economic construction and development, and war was only an efficient and violent means to strengthen the country's power.

It is not like the Great Song Dynasty, where being a soldier eating military salaries and wearing military uniforms is a shameful thing that is collectively despised by the society, it is not the most insecure and lowly work that requires life, and there is no such thing as having to forcibly recruit strong men from house to house in order to replenish soldiers, or even forcibly arrest people on the street to serve as soldiers.

Being a soldier in the pirate country is an honor, a kind of work career option that a brave warrior looks forward to showing his ability to get ahead and realize his self-worth, with a sacred meaning, being a soldier is unfortunately disabled, scrapped, useless, but not dead, will not be abandoned, survival problems, as long as you live, you are guaranteed that you do not have to worry about birth, old age, sickness and death. The state will arrange for you to do what you can, and under the honor, from the special funds of the state to the society to the small collective, they will respect you and take care of your daily life, and you will still have no shortage of women to take care of you and give birth to children for you...... There are special state authorities, national and social voluntary welfare and charity groups to follow up on the living conditions of disabled veterans......

In the pirate empire, enlisting in the army is something that hot-blooded men are eager to sign up for and even aspire to, but may not be able to achieve their wishes.

The empire has advanced armaments, strong firepower and offensive power, and those war items that can only rely on human life in the past are now almost none, from medicine, health, diet to other logistics items are strongly guaranteed, the living conditions of soldiers are high, all aspects are guaranteed, the mortality rate of marching and fighting is low, although the profession is dangerous, it is a high-spirited thing, and even a kind of bloody and exciting and pleasant journey, which is very attractive to brave men who are eager to fight the enemy chieftain with a sword and a leaping horse, but the empire does not need so many soldiers, and does not want to waste too many precious youth and lives of too many good men on war...... No one is going to arrest you and forcibly enlist you. If you want to have a good time fighting, you can play and taste the taste of the National Guard in the encirclement and suppression of the savages.

That is to say, after the soldiers of the Western Army arrived in the pirate country, the vast majority of them could not become soldiers if they wanted to, so they could only automatically transfer to the National Guard as the backbone, mainly engaged in production, and strive to transform into qualified new citizens who meet the requirements of the imperial standards and live their normal life in the new era. The thrilling military life is gone from then on, dancing knives and guns has become a hobby, and it is also the quality of the people who are required by the empire to strengthen their bodies and arms.......

Accustomed to a life, although it has long been tired of it, but it is really time to completely let go, and it is very likely that it will be away forever and never have the opportunity to live that kind of life again, people will always have some emotions, will sigh, will suddenly become nostalgic again, will be a little reluctant. After all, this is the hometown where our ancestors have lived for generations, but we have to stay away together, and we may come back, but it is more likely that we will never be able to set foot in this bitter cold and barren land for the rest of our lives, but too much blood has been buried, too much blood has been buried, too many tears of youth and too many feelings have been buried.

The emotions caused by the convergence of these factors made the soldiers involuntarily exerting an unprecedented and perhaps unparalleled fighting force.

In the battle of attacking and encircling the Tibetan barbarians, too many generals and soldiers were so excited that they shouted and roared like crazy with tears, and when the long-awaited new life was in hand, they should cherish their lives and be afraid of death, but they suddenly became fearless and fearless in this last battle.

That's how strange people are.

But Zhao Yue understands this outburst of feelings very well. Just like love, just like marriage, men and women are usually tired of resenting each other and feel unbearable, but when they break up, they really walk into the divorce......

Xiao Jiasui also understands.

He used to be so entangled and passionate like the soldiers of the Western Army. If he hadn't known that the empire would soon come back, he wouldn't know how many tears of nostalgia for his homeland he would have shed.

Of course, this is the performance of the Western Army as a whole. During this period, it is inevitable that some people will play tricks at this moment of the last battle, and they will be extremely selfish and unwilling to contribute......

Xiao Jiasui understands this phenomenon in his heart, cherishes life and wants to be more sure that he can live to enjoy the new life that is within reach, which is not a sin. But this is, after all, an army, a special group with a special mission, and this is war. As a commander, he has a heavy responsibility and cannot indulge those who are unwilling to move forward.

Otherwise, this one is unwilling to contribute, and the other only thinks about escaping the battle, and does not need to die, so how can the strategic plan of quickly destroying and conquering the Tibetan barbarians who forcibly relocate them be realized.

"The empire doesn't want to be a shameless man who is afraid of death with only his own selfish calculations in his heart. If you want to get it, you have to give. Your performance is under scrutiny. ”

As soon as he said this, there was no need for many verbal threats, and the soldiers in the Xihe army who were scheming, especially the soldiers and soldiers who were originally Tubo, suddenly took the lead bravely........ They all know very well that pirates speak, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, there is no empty talk to play, and they do what they say. If you don't behave well, you will definitely abandon yourself if you don't.

As a result, Xiao Jiasui's war against the Hehuang and Tubo tribes also went relatively smoothly.

The barbarian peoples are accustomed to the rebellion and capriciousness.

Baicheng, Yima Party Zheng, the great leader of Tubo who is also known as Zhao Huaien in history, faced the great changes in the northwest, and naturally immediately became ambitious, but he didn't know that the pirates also had to clean up and sweep the Tubo tribes together......

However, between the delicious food and the crowd's excitement of drinking, feasting, celebration and planning, he and those Tibetan barbarian leaders, large and small, unknowingly all died inexplicably soon after.

Subsequently, Baicheng was easily taken by the pirates and the Xihe army who suddenly appeared under the city......

The pirates divided their forces to supervise the Xihe Army, and together launched a stormy attack on the Hehuang and Tibetan tribes from all strategic directions.

The descendants of Mu Zheng, the eldest son of the leader of the Qiang tribe, are entrenched in Xiangzi City, leading the tribes of Niu Jinggu, which is a relatively prosperous and powerful Tubo group in Hehuang, and is also a tribe that submits to the Song State on the surface, but thinks very highly of itself in his bones, and has never really recognized the tribes of the Han people or any other ethnic group that has the right to rule over them. The backbone of its ruling class is deep-rooted, and no matter how loyal it is to the conquerors, it is actually ready to rebel as the situation changes, and the tribal warriors are indeed brave.

But in the same way, this kind of arrogance, self-confidence, rebellion and cunning is good for the Song Dynasty, but it is not useful for pirates. was also poisoned by spies, but Mu Zheng's descendants had a great life, high vigilance, and could still maintain enough sanity and sobriety in the face of the sudden arrival of great opportunities and the test of the beautiful era, did not participate in the carnival and feast, and inadvertently escaped the murder.

Xiangzi City was suddenly attacked by the pirate coalition that quickly appeared under the city, and the city was broken in an instant.

The few barbarian soldiers defending the city could not stop the fierce fighting of the coalition army, and quickly fled......

The surviving descendants of Mu Zheng fled from the city in a hurry with their bare buttocks, and led their troops to flee to Taohe Recreation City in a vain attempt to confront the gathered army.

However, the pirate alliance already had a large number of cavalry, at least soldiers who could ride horses, and had already robbed the horses of many small Tibetan tribes on the periphery to further assemble them, march more quickly and pursue more powerfully. The ruling class of the Niu Jing Valley has poisoned too much, and the remaining leaders have few men and many statuses, lack enough prestige, and lack of leadership, so they want to lead the people to flee and quickly move to follow to Kangle City to resist together, but they are not very successful, and they are intercepted or pursued by the pirate coalition, and a large number of people fall into the hands of pirates......

During this period, many Tibetan soldiers, especially infantry, chose to surrender to the pirate coalition with their fallen families, were confiscated weapons, war horses, and stayed honest with their families, driving ox carts, horse carts, and livestock were escorted to the Yangtze River and quickly transferred. To the northwest, the Hehuang people are the closest to the Yangtze River in Sichuan. Zhao Yue's order was also the most difficult to control, and the Tibetan barbarians were the first to be transported from the Yangtze River...... But most of the Tibetan soldiers still did not hesitate to abandon their families and ran to Kangle City, but after the pirate coalition army clung to the city to chase into the city, the soldiers were still difficult to defend the city, but they did not give up and became honest, abandoned more people's families and wealth to continue to flee, and retreated to Kenuo City, and then they were still bitten into the city, and then defeated, and retreated to the dangerous Mozong City, confident that this time it was finally safe. The pirates will never be able to break through the city of Mozong, but the ignorant barbarians will only get the result - disappointment.

The pirates showed their cannons, and they could beat the ghosts and wolves in Mozong City from a long distance, and the so-called natural danger was useless in the era of super-era firearms and weapons.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the barbarians were really scared and desperate, Mozong City was unreliable, where else could they retreat?

He is also superstitious, and in the face of the terrible artillery that does not know the slightest bit of the power of heaven and earth, he only suspects that it is a powerful demon magic in the world, and regards the pirates as an army blessed and helped by the gods. On the contrary, if you are hunted down by pirates, you are naturally a sinner who has lost the blessing of the gods.

The goddess of the snow-capped mountains who have blessed Tibet for thousands of years no longer favors the people of this land and has abandoned us...... This sign is terrible.

Mu Zheng's surviving descendants were not lucky this time, and they disappeared directly into the city under the heavy bombardment of artillery fire, and the barbarian leaders in other cities also suffered heavy casualties. Demon Sect City fell in a blink of an eye, and the pirate coalition army slaughtered the big and small leaders who were still there, taking advantage of their hesitation to surrender or continue to flee and refuse to lay down their weapons...... The powerful forces of Niu Jinggu were wiped out.

How do the barbarians know that the pirates have not used artillery to hit them before, that is, they have a sense of luck, stubbornly resist, but they can't resist, they can only retreat again and again, and in the rush of transfer, they naturally have to gradually abandon their troops and families and flee, and finally all abandon the "burden" and become a single person who fights freely, but they are still defeated.

In this way, the pirates succeeded in stripping away the barbarians who were fighting and threatening, and were able to easily and quickly transfer the women and children of the tribe who lacked resistance and the looting of wealth.

The barbarians couldn't resist the pursuit, the city couldn't be occupied, there was no hope, and they were thinking about their families, but their families went overseas first, and they lost their cattle, sheep, food and tents, and couldn't escape elsewhere to face the harsh winter test that would soon come, and they had no way to live, they didn't want to die, and the only remaining option was to surrender honestly and obey the dispatch to actively fight for the pirates.

The pirate alliance used this hand to continue to attack other Tibetan forces, encircled and suppressed them in all directions, swept many small tribes along the way, and captured hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses....... There were more Tubo soldiers who were subdued and controlled, and as the war progressed, the strength and invincibility of the force proved more and more powerful, so that the barbarians became more and more awe-inspired, unable to resist, and more and more able to command and use the barbarian soldiers to deal with their fellow clansmen. Tubo was not as unified and powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and it was divided for a long time. For the sake of power and wealth, it is not uncommon for tribes and different forces to kill each other. Therefore, the subdued Tubo soldiers helped the pirates to kill and rob their Tubo clans, and even followed the battle to kill more ruthlessly and bravely than the pirate coalition army.

This is the embodiment of the wolf nature of the savage and ferocious barbarians, and it is also a very subtle psychology of human beings to follow the strong.

Follow the strong, cowardly, timid and unconfident people often become arrogant, arrogant and brave, as if they forget that they are still the weak chicken.

Of course, working hard to win the recognition, praise and reward of the pirate (strong) master is also an important motivational reason.

Subsequently, the Qin Lingzheng and Guo Koudun families of Taozhou tried in vain to resist in Jiancheng, but were killed by the rebellious subordinates and surrendered to Yicheng. In Minzhou, the Qiang leaders Blind Wu Qi, Mu Lingzheng and other family cities were defeated and all of them were beheaded in the war. There were more than 200,000 people in the Bayu Horn Tribe, and the army was not ordinary, but most of the main rulers died in poison or explosions, and did not form the resistance as in the past, and surrendered honestly under the threat of the pirate alliance.

These great Tibetan forces were defeated and died, and the news spread, and all the Tibetan tribes were terrified of the pirate army like the heavenly soldiers and demons who had descended into the world. Under the rapid advance of the troops, the Qiang people in the fertile lands of Huangzhong, Haokang, Xiaoyu, and Caohan were all fearful....... In more than ten days, Xiao Jiasui appeased more than 300,000 accounts of the large and small Tibetan tribes, countless cattle, horses and livestock, and ransacked the holy place of rule in the minds of the Hehuang Tubo people - Qingtang City. It is a desirable treasure city, with a temple in the city and a forest of Buddhist palaces; The statue of Jinye Buddha is resplendent in gold, and now the good things are gone. The Tibetan people have a national custom: jewelry is not used for trading, pearls, jade, gold jade, rhino elephants...... They were all packed in cabinets and buried in the soil, and they were accumulated for generations for an unknown number of years, and this time they were excavated as they were to move overseas......

After completing the task of cleaning up Tibet, Xiao Jiasui breathed a sigh of relief, and according to Zhao Yue's order, he immediately waved a morbidly excited coalition composed of more than 100,000 Tubo soldiers, miscellaneous Hu Fan soldiers, and Xihe Army, and under the supervision and command of the pirate army of his headquarters, he quickly encircled and suppressed all parts of the Western Xia Kingdom from all sides.......
