Chapter 257: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (Three Watches)
Pei Shiju's eyes were bright, and he continued: "Before that, we could only rely on the method of restraint to canonize these barbarian leaders as the assassins of those remote states and counties, and let them govern the barbarian tribes, but in this way, over time, the power of some barbarian leaders will grow enough to launch a rebellion, such as Wang Zhongxuan this time, and for example, the current Mrs. Xian, in fact, Gao Servant is not worried about Wang Zhongxuan, what he is most afraid of is that Mrs. Xian will also have a heart of separation.
Hua Qiang, you must know that Mrs. Xian is respected as a virgin in Lingnan, and her influence is much higher than that Wang Zhongxuan, and she has always been focused on Nan Chen, if it weren't for Wang Zhongxuan's selfishness and lack of political wisdom, let that Ren Gui find a Nan Chen's clan, maybe Mrs. Xian Tai would really fall to them, then the more than one million slang Dong people in Lingnan would be a big trouble, and the imperial court would not know how many troops to dispatch and how many years it would take to pacify.
We exterminated Wang Zhongxuan and his three tribes this time, and we must use severe methods to deal with them, and the focus is not to make these commanders in the southeast grudge and unable to form a joint force, but to warn Mrs. Xian that if you want to confront the imperial court, this will be the result. Of course, she will be rewarded heavily, not only will she be titled, but she will also let Feng Ang enter Beijing as an official and pardon Feng Xuan, this is the grace and power of Gao Servant, Mrs. Xian is a smart person, after this incident, she should know how to choose. ā
Wang Huaqiang let out a long sigh and said: "Gao Servant Shooting is really far-reaching, thoughtful, I can't do it, Hongdae, you say this, Gao Servant Shooting's method, in fact, it is not Wang Zhongxuan who really has to deal with this time." It's Mrs. Sin Tai. This crusade is also the drunkard's intention not to drink. ā
Pei Shizhi smiled slightly: "Gao Servant has always stood in the country. Standing in the court to think about the problem, and those of us who have a vision that are naturally not as far as him, such as you and me, think more about personal achievements.
Now that Lingnan has been basically pacified, and Wang Zhongxuan has also given the head, I, the governor of Lingnan, need to deal with the aftermath here, Huaqiang. Do you have any suggestions? ā
Wang Huaqiang thought for a while and said: "I think there are three things that need to be done first, the first is to appease the barbarian tribes in Lingnan who are loyal to the imperial court or remain neutral in this rebellion, and when necessary, they must reward them more and buy people's hearts.
Second, it is necessary to intensify the pursuit and pacification of those who took the lead in the uprising this time, such as what you just said, let the other barbarian tribes send troops to kill the three tribes that started the incident, and the kobold military advisor who escaped Ren Gui. We can't let it go, and we must hurry up and pursue it.
Thirdly. Naturally, it was necessary to start the post-war reconstruction and restoration work in the Lingnan region, this time Panyu City and Donghengzhou were besieged by the rebels, and many Han people in the prefectures and counties along the way were also purged, and the ten rooms were empty, and the imperial court probably needed to think of some ways to migrate here on a large scale to enrich the population. ā
Pei Shiju glanced at the few guards behind him, and said in a deep voice: "You all step back first, I have important matters to discuss with Mr. Wang, and without my orders, you are not allowed to enter the account." ā
After these guards walked out, Pei Shiju walked to Wang Huaqiang's side and said in a low voice: "Huaqiang, other things are very good, but there is one point, this Ren Zhuo can only be caught clearly, but not really caught, this is Gao Servant's instructions, you and I just know, don't spread it!"
Wang Huaqiang was stunned on the spot for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "Is there any reason?" You and I both know that in this Lingnan rebellion, although Wang Zhongxuan is the leader of the thieves, the real culprit is this Ren Zhuo, all the work in tandem, and the things that are instigated are all done by him, as far as I can see, this is what must be hunted down, and even catching him is more important than exterminating the three rebel tribes. ā
Pei Shiju smiled and waved his hand: "Hua Qiang, this person's hatred for me is as deep as the sea, his life is endless, and the battle is not stopped, as long as he still has a breath of air, he will definitely continue to toss here in Lingnan, and now the Lingnan tribes are not completely loyal to our Great Sui, and there will be some half-hearted tribes who will take him in." ā
Wang Huaqiang hurriedly said: "Isn't this over, this person must not stay, Hongdae, you were joking just now, just now we briefly asked the prisoners, and they all said that Ren Gui did not enter the camp, and fled directly in the direction of the South China Sea in the east, now I will order a few hundred cavalry, and find a few more Xiang, within ten days, he will definitely be arrested." ā
Pei Shiju sighed softly: "Hua Qiang, you still haven't figured out what I mean, Gao Servant just wants this Ren Gui to continue to connect here, and it is best to incite some tribes who are dissatisfied with our dynasty to rise up, so that we have more reasons to exterminate these tribes." ā
Wang Huaqiang opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but he heard Pei Shiju's voice ringing in a low voice: "Huaqiang, don't look at the Qu Shuai of those tribes just now to exterminate the three anti-thief tribes so happy, if I didn't tempt me to divide the land and slaves of these three tribes, they would not be willing to do this, these people are used to establishing themselves as kings in their own mountains, and they will still be ready to move when they have the opportunity."
But when they are not revealed, we can't kill them all, after all, the tribes that started this time occupy half of the sky in Lingnan, and there are hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children combined, and they are in the deep mountains and dense forests, and our army can kill all these leaders and tens of thousands of prisoners today, but it can't kill more than the hundreds of thousands of people in their own department, and even to deal with the three rebellious tribes, we have to rely on this policy of barbarism to defeat barbarianism.
So this Ren Gui is a tool for us to go out to explore the direction of the wind, if Lingnan is really attached to the heart and the heart of the imperial court, then we don't need to go to the wanted, these barbarians themselves will send Ren Gui over, in turn, even if we go to hunt down now, he will hide in the tribe that is willing to shelter him, and it is not so easy to catch.
This extermination of the traitors, let these Lingnan barbarians for the first time really see the power of our Great Sui Army, even if Ren Gui is connected again, it is impossible to set off a greater momentum than this time, when the time comes, we can drive the tribes and sons like Mrs. Xian Tai, loyal to the imperial court, citing the precedent of this time against the three leading barbarian tribes, let the barbarians attack and kill each other, so that it will not take long to greatly weaken the strength of the barbarians. ā
Wang Huaqiang nodded convincingly, he hadn't thought of this method at all, but Gao Xi was so familiar with it, it was completely the way Changsun Sheng used to control the Turks in the north, and he was much more sophisticated in using it, he sighed: "This is considered to be a complete convincing Gao Servant shooting, but it is also risky to do so, what if they take advantage of the weakness of Lingnan's defense to set off such a large-scale rebellion?" ā
Pei Shiju said in a deep voice: "Hua Qiang, this depends on the other two you said just now, stabilize the other barbarian tribes in Lingnan, and at the same time immigrate here on a large scale, to enrich the military strength here in Lingnan, I mean, it is best to integrate the army with the people, can you have any good way to do this?" ā
Wang Huaqiang thought for a while and said: "It's easy to appease the Lingnan departments, when the time comes, please trouble your brother to make a hard trip, bring the rewards within the scope of the imperial court policy, and go to each village to walk around, anyway, these assassins, Sima and other false positions, it doesn't hurt to give them, like Mrs. Xian, you can also ask the court to change the county lady to Mrs. Guotai, but the specific administrative power, especially the ruling power here in Panyu, still has to be controlled in the hands of the Han people."
The last time we went on the expedition, we gave these Xiangzhou veterans preferential conditions, saying that after winning the war, let them enter the treasury in Guangzhou to get what they wanted, and if Lingnan needs to increase its defensive strength in the future, it is best to keep this group of people. ā
Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "Hua Qiang, I was about to talk to you about this, after the last school expedition, I wrote a secret note to Gao Servant overnight, and presented it in the daily Tang Newspaper, two days ago I received a return, our mention yƬ, Gao Servant shot all accurate!"
