Chapter 116: Light troops enter Jingnan
Whether it was the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty, although the territory covered the south of the Yangtze River, it even covered the Vietnamese region in later generations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's just that the degree of development here is not high, and it was not until the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved south that it opened the prelude to the development of Jiangnan; At the same time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which finally connected the north and the south and strengthened the central government's ability to control the south.
Don't look at the fact that the Huaxia Republic only has four counties, but it covers several provinces in later generations, and even the scope of Jiasi Prefecture is even wider, even now, there are many areas that have not been thoroughly developed and are in a state of wilderness.
The situation of the four southern counties is similar to Yangzhou, the most prosperous places in Yangzhou are actually nothing more than Jiujiang, Lujiang and Wu County, the northern part of Danyang County and Yuzhang County, and even the northern part of Huiji County are also a little popular, and other places are almost barren mountains and mountains; The territory of the four southern counties is at least twice that of the three counties of Jiangxia, Nanyang and Nanjun, but the prosperity level is less than 10% of that of these three counties.
In the mountains and forests near the south, you can always find signs of mountain people's activities, many of the achievements are naturalized barbarians in the Western Han Dynasty, and there may be some life, but the so-called Wuxi barbarians have appeared in the sight of the imperial court from the Western Han Dynasty, and have gone through more than three generations of sinicization, most of which are no different from the Han people.
Barbarians are barbarians in the end, and if they are not accepted by the family, it also means that they are not accepted by the people. People always like to gloat, watching the mountain people worse than themselves, and then forgetting that they are actually oppressed. By suppressing the mountain people, the family seized the goods and land in their hands, and at the same time showed their cruelty and pity to the people, and the people naturally obeyed the people.
By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family and the mountain people were already mortal enemies, and the two sides had reached a situation of endless death. Therefore, even Sun Quan can only partially incorporate some Shanyue, and he does not dare to directly and comprehensively incorporate them, just because this means that he will fight with the family.
Shu Han occupied Jingzhou and had begun to gradually achieve the separation of military and government, Wang Rui saw that Liu Wei trusted him and did not intend to remove him, so he also began to gradually delegate power. The key is that the Cai family, the Huang family and other wealthy families who have mastered military power have begun to gradually throw themselves into the arms of Liu Wei, even if Wang Rui is unwilling, he has no skills to return to heaven.
Unable to intervene directly in politics, officials in the four southern counties have maintained a traditional mode of governance. This means that after a long time, it will definitely trigger a rebellion of the mountain people. Wulingman has been in rebellion since 180, and millions of people have fought directly to about 2 million, but they are still fighting for the power that belongs to them.
To put it mildly, this was originally the land that belonged to their ancestors, and the Han court came, so they took away their land, drove them up the mountain, and killed many of their clansmen during the period. The hatred between the two sides has been since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and can even be traced back to the pre-Qin era, and the fruits obtained by violent means are nothing more than the endless continuation of hatred......
Up to now, Shu Han's armament has obviously reached the crushing level, and at the same time, in order to deal with the mountain troops of the Huaxia Republic, he has also trained a force that is good at mountain warfare. This made Wuyiman's advantage disappear, and after the outbreak of rebellion this time, the troops dominated by the Xiahou brothers quickly suppressed it, and its strength and speed even surpassed the historical record.
Wuyi Man, and even the mountain people of Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling counties, are facing annihilation. Obviously, Liu Wei also realized that since there is no room for relaxation between the two sides, and he has no time to slowly win over people's hearts, then use thunderous means to kill once and for all!
It is nothing more than the barbarian king of Wulingman, who will send an envoy to the rescue, hoping that Li Yu will come to the rescue. One is really about to end, and it is not far away if there is no rescue to exterminate the race; The second is also to let Li Yu occupy these three counties, and when the time comes, how can they, the locals, live a more nourishing life, which can be regarded as a good calculation!
It's a pity that their ideas, whether it is the staff or those officers, and even most of the politicians have seen through it. This plan is actually not brilliant at all, and it is rare for an uneducated Wu Ling to come up with such a plan.
"Therefore, our goal is to use the power of the Shu Han army to force them to follow us back to the Huaxia Republic to settle down. It doesn't matter if they're in Ganxian or somewhere else. As for those who are unwilling to go, we have entered humanitarianism, and there is nothing else to ask for!
This time, there will be no staff officers to follow, and all terrain reconnaissance and confrontation will be directly solved by ourselves, so you must be mentally prepared! "Through the wooden 'railway', in a day or so, a thousand hook sickle soldiers have arrived in Luling County from Taoyuan County, and on the way south to Gan County, Liu Xing announced this battle plan.
In fact, these soldiers have undergone simple tactical and strategic training, and in extracurricular interest classes, they can learn the art of war and strategy on their own. Each of them is the seed of a general, but only the best people can enter the military academy and become an officer above the staff officer or rank general.
Many of them are still just ordinary soldiers, but they all have experience in mountain warfare. Techniques and means of standing up for battle. With the team as the team's scattered attack mode, they can also cooperate with each other tacitly. Even if there is no walkie-talkie for real-time contact, it can still communicate through signals or reserved passwords.
"General, how scattered are we going to be this time?" There is a military marquis to ask for advice below.
"Finely divided into teams, each team's team will come out to receive the marching map, and this time we will set off in three ways, each with six squads. The goal is to guide the local mountain people to gradually settle in the interior as we migrate to Ganxian or Luling County. Only then did Liu Xing say the goal of this operation.
"What if they don't want to go?" One of the team leaders asked. In the Republic of China, it is not uncommon for officers to help carry these juniors in interest classes, and even military academies, but over time, everyone has become familiar with them.
Li Yu even pointed out that everyone is only different in the division of labor, and there are differences in status, but outside the scope of duties, everyone is an equal existence. This first appeared in the army, and it was not surprising that officers and non-commissioned officers discussed problems with each other in peacetime.
"What is our mission? It's just to help them get out of the sea of suffering, if they themselves don't want to leave, can we still force them to leave? To put it mildly, if they don't cooperate and cause us to reduce our staff, then who will bear the responsibility? Let them come?! Liu Xing suddenly said solemnly when he heard this.
They are equivalent to foreign peacekeepers, who are actually here to dig into the wall. If you can't dig in the corners, then retreat and let them be demolished by others, or even bulldozed. If you are hit by wall tiles or injured by other construction troops, do you still expect this wall to lose money? In the end, the republic will have to pay!
Having said that, everyone immediately got ready and began to act separately.
The Shu Han army did block the border, but they didn't have too many troops to completely block this place. With the help of military maps, this is a map that the intelligence services have spent a lot of time searching and drawing. Through this map, they can easily find the loopholes in the Shu army's defenses and then drill into them.
The Shu army also has their means, they have set up a large number of beacon towers on the border, as long as there is an enemy invasion, they can always ignite it as soon as possible, and the smoke will guide the large army to come to the rescue.
"Eh, did you hear anything?" On one of the beacons, the soldier in charge of the guard said to his companion.
"Voices, more voices! The sound of birds and beasts neighing is simply noisy! Another soldier replied.
"I'm not talking about that kind of voice, I seem to have heard a lot of things just now, and suddenly I came over there!" The soldier said to his companion a little nervously.
"Maybe it's wolves, maybe it's rats? This wilderness is more than 200 miles away from Chenxian County or Qujiang County, and there are no people along the way, who will pass here? The soldier listened carefully before retorting.
In fact, how did they know that not far from them, because there are a few trees to shade it, it is a natural smuggling passage. Unless they move the beacon, they will not be able to see it if a small force passes through it.
Similar tactics were used, and thousands of troops were smuggled in. Sometimes disguised as a fox or a wild wolf, or disguised as a bear or some other animal, these guards of the beacon tower of the Shu army did not realize at all that a unit had entered Guiyang County from under their noses in the open.
After entering Guiyang County, in addition to the 300 troops who wanted to stay, the other 600 people continued to advance, and their purpose was the territory of Lingling County and Wuling County. As for those who remain, they will also unite the mountain people here first, and reserve enough food to meet the return of the follow-up troops.
After entering the hinterland, the enemy's defense power dropped suddenly, and sometimes Liu Xing even had the idea of directly defeating a certain city, but unfortunately their purpose was not here.
"Stay, be careful not to provoke the local defenders and expose your whereabouts! Even if it is exposed, you must use guerrilla warfare to encourage those mountain people to engage in mountain guerrilla warfare with the enemy. Liu Xing was about to go to Wuling County, and before leaving, he instructed the troops who wanted to stay.
When they left Guiyang County before, they also explained to the soldiers who stayed there.
"Whoa!" The marquis of the army who led the army replied seriously.
After another day, the army successfully entered Wuling County, and there was no way to contact the rear at all, and the three teams could only conduct guerrilla warfare in some specific areas according to the original plan. If the situation is really critical, they will return directly to the Huaxia Republic and will not wait any longer.
In other words, the deeper they go into enemy territory, the more dangerous they become, and because of the greater the danger, the most capable people should be the generals who lead the army. As for why Liu Xing led the army, it was mainly his identity.
It is a serious royal family, even if it is captured, its life will not be threatened. It's a bit of a wimp to say this, but it's a defeat before you win, and that's how it should be! It can be regarded as stimulating Liu Xing, so that he can perform desperately and prove his ability! (To be continued.) )
