At the same time, the same thing is happening in Wenzhou Mansion, dozens of miles away, the difference is that the person who attacked the city and seized the land was Chao Sheng, and the army was all Qilin Army, most of them were cavalry, and the infantry was less than 30,000, and it was a day earlier than Yang Lin to break through the city.

The faint smoke of gunpowder was still there, permeating the sky above Wenzhou City, but the large army of the Qilin Army had already left the city and started a new journey, heading for the next target, waving flags, dividing troops in the queue, and being disciplined.

A few miles north of Wenzhou City, 80,000 Qilin troops marched mightily, all the way to the north, pointing to Taizhou Mansion in Zhejiang, the center of the team, Chao Sheng rode a horse, left and right were Guo San and Hou to the south, in the process of hurrying, the three of them were also talking.

"Commander, are we a little hasty on the march? It only took a day to take Wenzhou City, and it was only stationed in some large state capitals and counties, so would this make the captured areas unstable? With a complete education, Hou Xiangnan is much more comprehensive, and said worriedly.

However, Chao Sheng did not have any worries, and was not affected in the slightest, and said slowly while riding his horse: "Monkey, I understand what you mean, and I also know what you are worried about, since our incident, in just over a month, with various means, we have quickly won three provinces in a row. ”

"Moreover, the most important thing is that we have only planted troops in some state capitals, and have not achieved complete control, with the development of the war, our battle line will be lengthened, covering the entire area south of the Yangtze River, the longer the time, all kinds of contradictions will be highlighted, affecting the rear of our army."

"Monkey, if it was before the rendezvous with the marshal, I would have the same worries as you, and this question was also raised with the marshal." Chao Sheng paused and looked at Hou Xiangnan.

"Then ~ what did the marshal say?" Hou Xiangnan couldn't help asking, followed by Yang Lin's words, with a look of curiosity and eagerness.

At this time, Chao Sheng smiled, revealing a mysterious look on his face, and said seductively: "Monkey, let me ask you, in the entire region south of the Yangtze River, so far, which other forces can compete with us and overthrow our rule in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian?" ”

"No, don't say that the entire south of the Yangtze River, looking at the entire land of China, with our absolute weapon superiority, a steady stream of logistical supplies, guns and ammunition are always being produced, plus nearly three years of dedicated management, no one is our opponent. What's more, as long as the city is in hand and our army is stationed in it, no one will want to conquer it. Hou Xiangnan didn't think about it, and came out of his mouth.

Between the words, Chao Sheng smiled, indescribably confident, and said thoughtfully: "Not only that, but throughout the entire south of the Yangtze River, especially the three provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, whether it is official or the underground world, it is under our firm control, and the only unstable factor, that is, those scattered guerrillas, some regimental training organizations. However, can the guerrillas pose a threat? ”

At this time, Guo San, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly broke the silence and said in agreement: "The commander is right, although those regimental exercises and guerrillas have some combat strength, but after all, they are scattered everywhere, either they are full of banditry, or they only care about the little territory in their hometown, and they are not a threat at all. ”

As far as Guo San's interjection is concerned, what he said, Chao Sheng nodded, and didn't say anything, Hou Xiangnan just wanted to speak, and Chao Sheng continued the topic he had just said.

"Let's imagine that our garrisons in various cities and towns are all over the place, like a network structure, echoing each other from afar, like nails wedged in various places, forming a joint defense mechanism, once there is something in one place, other places will provide reinforcements and respond quickly."

At this moment, Hou Xiangnan had already understood, his heart suddenly brightened, and he seemed to have an understanding and said: "Commander, I know, my subordinates are completely unfounded, there is no need to worry at all, not to mention whether there are any hidden worries, just with the garrisons in various places, you can deal with any enemy from all sides, although most of the garrisons are mixed with members recruited from the poor people." ”

At this time, as a veteran of the Qilin Gang, who was born in the poor people, Guo San interjected again: "Oh... I see, my subordinates also understood that the reason why the marshal stayed part of the Qilin Army and the Kongtong Army in each town and town, and filled the officers and soldiers of the Qing court who had been incorporated into the combat troops, was not only to strengthen the ownership of the control place, but also to sweep away some hidden worries, lest there be unscrupulous people among those who surrendered, and as soon as our army left, we would take the opportunity to make waves. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chao Sheng couldn't help but take a deep look at Guo San, and added as if with feeling: "Yes, Guo San understands very correctly, although the defeated generals of the remnants of the army have all cut off their pig tails and lost their braids, but when they see the initial chaos of the situation, they will inevitably have bad intentions. ”

"And scattering those people and replenishing them to the infantry, or sending them to our arsenals and textile factories, this will not only improve our front-line combat capabilities and logistics production efficiency, but also prevent problems before they occur and eliminate the threat from the source!"

Although the words are not clear, the three of them are all high-level under Yang Lin, and they have a deep understanding of the Kongtong Army and the Qilin Army, especially some factories hidden in the mountains and dense forests, and they also know some, and they don't need to be too open, as long as they are a little bit, combined with the overall situation, they can fully understand and understand.

At this moment, the three of them had a consensus, and after thinking about it carefully, they all understood why Yang Lin had to formulate relevant policies to benefit the people, fight local tyrants to divide the land, and distribute the land to the poor? Why do you have to insist that the people in the areas under your jurisdiction cut off their braids?

All this shows two points: First, every time a city is captured and every area is occupied, it will cause an irreversible change, so that the people will no longer be a spectator, but can only unite to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

The second is to win the hearts and minds of the people, reduce the people's resistance as much as possible, and do not overreact, so as not to affect the follow-up actions of the army.

The troops marched slowly, always maintaining a neat formation, and the atmosphere was quiet for a short time, Hou Xiangnan seemed to have figured out something, and said loudly: "Oh, I understand, I understand why we are all fast forward and fast fighting, and rarely stay in one place for a long time!" ”

Chao Sheng and Guo San looked over at the same time, looking at Hou Xiangnan, both puzzled, Chao Sheng opened his mouth and asked, "Why?" ”

Hou Xiangnan smiled and said loudly: "Commander, Commander Guo, you must also know that there are 40,000 people in the land of China today, and seven or eight out of ten are farmers, and these farmers, few of them have their own arable land, most of them are landlords and some Manchu dignitaries who farm land. ”

Chao Sheng and Guo San's reaction was very calm, they just nodded, holding the look of waiting, about this information, they all knew that Hou Xiangnan didn't care about the two of them's reactions, they were still full of interest, and continued to have their hearts.

"If we go to every region, we thoroughly implement the measures formulated by the marshal, no matter who else, those toiling masses will definitely support us very much, after all, we have given them the land on which they depend for their survival and protected their rights and interests, in contrast, but looking at the whole land of China, who can bring them such benefits? With such a promise? ”

The two of them have already reacted and know what Hou Xiangnan is going to say? What are you expressing? At this time, Guo San echoed and said: "Master Hou, what you said is right, compared to those dignitaries, rich businessmen and magnates, the number of ordinary people accounts for almost seven or eight tenths of the total population of the land of China, as long as these people are appeased, so that they can get the benefits of opposing the Qing Dynasty and get their support, we will fight every place, please not lack the support of all kinds of people, and we don't have to worry about the stability of the rear." ”

During the exchange, the three of them had already made the purpose of the various policies formulated by Yang Lin clear, and they couldn't help but make their chests more combative and confident. (To be continued.) )
