In fact, Datang has already moved to eradicate the toasts in southwest China. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThese toasts control all the resources of the local area, from population to means of production, which not only cannot meet the development needs of the new era of productivity, but also cause a lot of harm to the local people. At the time of the unification war, Datang was still grasping the stable transition in the Central Plains, and two years later, the Central Plains region was basically on the right track, and the social changes were profound and significant. On the contrary, it was difficult for the central government to achieve full control over these remote areas in the previous generation, and they still want to retain this independent status.

Times are no longer the same, and Datang does not allow any extralegal land to appear in its own land.

At a time when Gao Jin and other local civil servants are trying to win the support of people of all ethnic groups in remote areas, the Datang military is also making intensive preparations. At the beginning of the year, Datang had already issued a notice to abolish the toast system, but the vast majority of toasts turned a blind eye. In the face of the notice of the abolition of the toast system, the toast in the southwest region basically has three manifestations. One is more cowardly, this kind of understanding that the government cannot be opposed, so it sends people to negotiate with the government to determine which assets can be kept and which must be handed over to the public. However, such people are very rare. The remaining two are disobedient. The second is to unite a number of toasts to oppose the abolition of the toast system, which is nominally a petition, but in fact creates pressure and coercion. The third type is more single-minded, no matter what the government says, they just don't listen, they do what they should do, and they don't react.

However, the Tang military had to react to these Tusi divisions, and since 1800, the Tang Dynasty has begun to train new troops. Under the circumstance that the eastern part of the United States has essentially become the land of the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Tang army has reached an astonishing number. However, most of the establishment is dissatisfied, and there is only one shelf, and if there is really a situation, it can be mobilized quickly, which is not a problem. In the Huaxia region, soldiers from North America and veterans of the Wuwei Army were used as seeds to recruit a large number of new recruits from the Huaxia region, and the Tang Dynasty successively formed dozens of divisions. The division's subordinates will organize some units for special combat missions, such as special brigades, mountain brigades, cavalry brigades, armored brigades, air cavalry brigades, etc. Datang division-level troops will not be prefixed, and brigade-level troops will be marked with names such as machine foot, mountain, cavalry, etc.

Datang has organized most of the mountain troops in the southwest region, where three mountain brigades have gathered, belonging to several different divisions, although the formation time is relatively short, but the training intensity is high, the supply is good, the Ministry of Defense judged that the mountain troops of Datang are still very combative.

Moreover, the border of the southwest region of Datang China is also connected to the overseas territory of Southeast Asia, and in fact there is not much threat from foreign enemies, the training of these mountain brigades, one is to assist Datang to completely sweep away the Tusi forces of the separatists, and the other is to train skills to fight abroad in the future.

Since Gao Jin returned to Xichang County, the county government no longer sent any personnel to the mountains. A week later, the 1st Mountain Brigade of the 63rd Division of the Tang Army came to the county seat. In fact, like most of the new units, which have not been formed for too long, the 1st Mountain Brigade is also unorganized, with about 3,000 combatants. This scale is no problem at all to deal with dozens of toasts of the size of Liangshan Mansion.

The brigade commander of the 1st Mountain Brigade found Gao Jin, who had done a lot of work here, and said to him: "Our troops are going to enter the mountains, although the Tusi armed forces are relatively backward, and the Tusi armed forces on the Xichang side have not been united, so the threat is not great, but the situation in the mountains is complicated, and any small mistake may cause losses to our troops." We need a couple of good, trustworthy guides on our side to guide our troops into the mountains. ”

Gao Jin nodded, patted the shoulder of the Yi man next to him, Chici, and said: "This is a staff member of our county government, a local, he is very familiar with the mountains here, and it must be no problem to have him." ”

The brigade commander nodded, stretched out his hand to shake Chiji's hand, and said, "Then please leave this comrade." ”

Chiji was still a little flattered, how could the brigade commander in front of him also be a high-ranking official, he looked so kind, and took the initiative to shake hands with him. Chiji has been by Gao Jin's side for a while, and understands that shaking hands is a sign of friendship and equality. At the beginning, Chici did things for Gao Jin because Gao Jin saved his life, and the affectionate and righteous Yi people were grateful to repay him. And now, seeing the various phenomena of Datang, Chiji slowly feels that he is working hard, not only to repay his kindness, but also to fight for the right to get along and shake hands with others on an equal footing, like an ordinary person.

The military operation of the 1st Mountain Brigade was of a surprise nature, and the government did not greet the local Tusi, and the Tang army launched an attack on the village where the Tusi was sitting. The artillery of the 1st Mountain Brigade set up a few mortars, fired a few rounds into the stockade, and blasted open the gate with bazookas, and the Tang soldiers rushed in with assault rifles. The 1st Mountain Brigade even brought in several helicopters for the transport of troops and fire support. Datang Helicopter Manufacturing Company Xihe and many models have considered the situation of plateau and mountain operations, but due to technical limitations, not all Datang helicopters can operate in plateau and mountainous areas, especially in high-altitude areas such as southwest China.

Most of the Tusi's armed weapons are backward, and even most of them have not yet obtained rifles with paper shells, even the former Qing government is quite tight on rifles and other weapons, and few of them are outflowed, and in the southwest region, there are no arms merchants to sell advanced weapons to the Tusi, so the armed forces here are still mainly cold weapons and some shotguns.

Against the Tang Army, which was already equipped during the Cold War, the Tusi armed forces were actually not much different from the primitive armed forces.

When attacking the stockade of Tusi before Chiji, Chiji couldn't help but boil his blood, and he said to the Tang soldiers beside him: "Can you give me a gun, I will also fight Toast." ”

The Tang soldier next to him rolled his eyes and said: "Comrade, professional things are left to our professional people, and the weapons of our army cannot be handed over to non-military personnel casually." ”

Akaji shouted, "Then I'll be a soldier." ”

The soldier smiled and said: "Go and sign up first, and only after the selection and completion of a year and a half of training will you have the opportunity to fight with a weapon." ”

Chiji regretted in his heart, but he also seemed to see a new path.

The toasts couldn't resist even if they wanted to, and after killing and wounding some people, they finally surrendered to the Tang army crying. The main problem that limited the progress of the Tang army was actually the harsh terrain of the southwest region, but the Tang army still easily destroyed the Tusi one by one. (To be continued.) )
