Chapter 411 You go abroad to make trouble
Wang Hongwu said: "Commander, I think that even if the Liukou enter the mountain, it will definitely not last, because they will not get enough food to feed. Now Zhang Xianzhong still has no less than 100,000 horses, this time the defeat is a large amount of abandonment, to get supplies, only to go down the mountain to rob, then a county like Luotian must be their target! It may even continue westward, plundering Huguang. ”
Wang Hongwu's words made Wang Yue's eyes light up, he was a preconceived idea of Zhang Xianzhong as an existence like the Red Army.
Where can Zhang Xianzhong be compared with the Red Army, the relationship between the military and the people cannot be compared. The reason why they are rogues is that it is their main job to grab money and food and coerce the people.
"What Hongwu said is reasonable!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "The point is these county seats, then our army will be able to avoid going around in circles with them in the mountains for a long time." ”
Wang Yue ordered: "Hongwu, tomorrow you lead the fourth regiment to advance to Qianshan, and the fifth regiment and I will set off later." ”
"Yes!"
Feng Yuanshan asked: "Commander, why don't you let the humble position go straight to the Chinese army and take Zhang Xianzhong's life, isn't this twice the result with half the effort for us to suppress the bandits?" ”
The combat power of the Tiance Army is almost in the heart of Feng Yuanshan, who has led the troops for a period of time. So when he started the war with Zhang Xianzhong, he mentioned the execution of a combat method similar to a decapitation operation.
After consideration, Wang Yue rejected the plan. With the offensive speed of the armored vehicles of the Tiance Army, the density of the vehicle-mounted machine guns and the covered shelling of mortars, the success rate of hitting and killing those of Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army was very large.
However, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong's bandit leaders die, more than 300,000 people are likely to collapse quickly, and with the strength of the Tiance Army, even the current 200,000 people may not be captured.
Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong's death cannot mean that the Liukou has been exterminated, otherwise Gao Yingxiang's death would not have been followed by Li Zicheng. Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and there will be Li Xianzhong and Wang Xianzhong, because the Central Plains is full of hungry people who can't eat enough, and it is an army of rogues in a casual flicker.
Just like killing Huang Taiji now, it doesn't mean that the Qing Dynasty is doomed, because there are still Dolgon and Fulin, etc., and there are many descendants of wild boar skins.
To destroy the Manchus, it was necessary to destroy its army and occupy its land.
There are two ways to completely eliminate the rogues, one is to solve the problem of famine, this problem cannot be solved by the imperial court, and the starting point city cannot solve the problem of feeding hundreds of millions of people now.
Another way is to reduce the population of these areas, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the problem of rogue can be solved, that is, one word kill!
According to historical statistics, the population size of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty was 200 million, and the population of the whole country in the 20th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty was 46.51 million, and the population was less than three-quarters. Killed, of course.
The Manchus massacred a large number of Han Chinese because the Jurchen population was less than a million, and it had no idea how to rule over a population of 200 million and such a huge country. Killing, in order to deter the Han people. Killing, in order to reduce the total number of Han Chinese, is more conducive to management.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty's mass murder invisibly destroyed the living soil of the Liukou and became a rootless Ping, so the Liukou no longer had the momentum of the late Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yue is also aiming to reduce the population of the Central Plains, of course he does not want to learn from the Manchus to carry out massacres, which does not benefit him at all.
The way to reduce the population is to move these people away. With so much land overseas, why craze into your home and starve?
The positive effect of the rogues was to destroy the existing social structure in these areas, to cleanse the gentry in these areas, and to break the confinement on the heads of the common people, who were the ideal group of immigrants.
For Zhang Xianzhong and those under Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Yue knows a lot through historical materials, but if he changes someone else, it will be difficult for Wang Yue to find out his character.
This time he came to suppress the bandits, Wang Yue came to those people who were coerced, but in the process, his thoughts changed, which was derived from the beheading proposed by Feng Yuanshan.
The rebellious ability of Zhang Xianzhong and others is obvious to all, especially some people around him have extraordinary military talents. If it weren't for the fact that someone dragged their feet, they would most likely have rewritten history, and it was they who resisted the Manchus to the last moment!
Thinking of the performance of these people in the Yongli Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Wang Yue had little opinion on killing Zhang Xianzhong now, but these people couldn't die.
Wang Yue still hopes that these people can continue to shine, aren't you keen to rebel? Then don't make a fuss at home, go abroad to continue your revolutionary cause, Wang Yue's ideal area is the Indochina Peninsula.
His long-term plan was to drive them into these areas, and if they were able to continue the revolution in these areas, Wang Yue did not mind providing them with some support.
"The biggest target of our war is these populations, not to scatter them. Besides, our army can't defeat the rogues, and we need to end their lair to create chaos! ”
Some ideas are inconvenient to explain, so Wang Yue gave such an explanation. This reason is also reasonable, the Tiance army cannot fight in vain, and these populations are dividends. Zhang Xianzhong's death or not has nothing to do with the starting point city, as long as he doesn't continue to stay in the jurisdiction of the Ying Tian Patrol to make trouble, the task of the Tiance Army will be completed.
"Then the second thing we have to do is to move all these hungry people out." Wang Yue said again: "Tomorrow, we will meet the 50,000 hungry people from the direction of Shucheng, and the four security corps will send them to Changfeng Shagang in batches to temporarily settle and wait for transshipment. Leave two regiments there to maintain law and order, and at the same time do the registration of the hungry. ”
There are so many hungry people that it is impossible to walk together, and registration alone cannot be done in two days.
"It is planned that 200,000 of these hungry people will be relocated to Taiwan's Tamsui region, another 50,000 will be relocated to Shanghai County, and another 50,000 will be used to build a road from Shanghai County to Suzhou Prefecture."
One time immigration of 200,000 people to Taiwan's Tamsui area to open up wasteland and farm land is already the limit of what the starting point city can do, there are too many people, it is difficult to manage, and the transportation capacity is limited. And these people also have to go in batches, so it's easy to plan.
The most tempting part of the propaganda to these hungry people this time should be the division of land, so most of them will continue to be their farmers.
The literacy education of these people and the education of their children will continue to follow, so many of them will also provide the necessary human resources for the industry of the starting point in the future.
The construction of Shanghai County requires a lot of manpower, and 50,000 people are considered to be the early builders, and there will be immigrants arriving in the later stage.
Shanghai County is the nest of Wang Yue's previous life, so all kinds of construction materials and engineering equipment will be continuously transmitted. The first is to build a highway from Shanghai to Suzhou, and also to train qualified road construction workers for the construction of a road network in the Jiangnan area in the future.
