Chapter 702: A Pocket of 7,000 Square Kilometers (Part II)
In the battle of Anyuan City, Zheng Lang reappeared. ,!
Then the flotilla went south, and the tactics were clear. Zheng Lang wanted to let the Jiaozhi army enter the belly of Yongzhou, but Jiaozhi was a frog in the well, and he didn't know how thick the sky was, their country was not big, and the area and the number of people were only similar to Guangnan West Road, not even Dali.
If it had not been developed before and after the Tang Dynasty, the population would have been even smaller. But it is also related to the internal governance of these generations of Jiaozhi, and many of the kings and important ministers in China are mostly immigrants or descendants of Han Chinese, bringing the experience of Han governance to Jiaozhi. This is what makes Cochin grow and develop.
The history of Jiaozhi left many bad side effects on the descendants of China, and Spain later killed Huaqiao in the Philippines, and suddenly heard the Ming Dynasty, felt frightened, and came to ask for guilt. The Ming Dynasty not only did not blame, but gave rewards. This is the ugliest scene in the history books.
It was the influence of these descendants who defected to Jiaozhi in the middle, as well as the false Japanese pirates, that made the Ming Dynasty disinterested in the Han Chinese who had abandoned their rule. Later, there was another scene, Kokang Indonesia...... As a result, a small number of overseas Chinese forgot their roots and became godsons of US imperialism. A vicious circle is formed between the two sides.
Zheng Lang didn't come up with a way to deal with this.
On the contrary, he was bewildered, and he was not very interested in the colonies, and did not oppose them, nor did he propose any policies to support them, and let them develop freely.
People are not omnipotent, even with the many shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, Zheng Lang is powerless.
Zheng Lang didn't come up with a solution, so he didn't think about it, he just wanted the strength of the Jiaozhi people, relatively speaking, because of the increase in strength, the increase in population, and the long-term independence, at this time the conquest of Jiaozhi was far more difficult than the Tang Dynasty. They don't want to conquer at all, and the Ming Dynasty is a good example. Zheng Lang was thinking about how to beat it back to its original shape.
Plan the most important step. It is to lure the cochin invasion.
Although the Song Dynasty did not support reinforcements, Liangguang still had some troops at this time and wanted to invade Liangguang. and the soldiers of the whole country shall come. There are also soldiers in the country, such as guarding the security of the capital, or the checkpoint on the border with Dali Zhancheng Zhenla. However, there will not be too many soldiers left.
Step by step, the main force of Cochin was lured into the encirclement, and the country was empty, and in late March, the spring water of the Fuliang River was huge, enough for large ships to sail all the way under Thang Long City!
This is a decapitation operation.
Before the plan was launched, many people thought that it was a risk, and there was a first premise, that the walls had to be defended.
Therefore, Zheng Lang issued a mobilization order.
Since last year. Zheng Lang began to secretly and sporadically transport some weapons, materials, grain and grass in some important places. Then use the mobilization order to conscript the people as temporary militia. Field warfare is not good, it is for the people to die. But it is used to defend the city, and it can play some role to a greater or lesser extent.
It turned out that the situation was unclear, and with the victory of Anyuan City, this plan was infinitely close to the goal.
At this point. Yu Jing also understood.
It's okay for you to behead it, but you can't mess with the rear, once any village is breached, the Jiaozhi people will pour in, and the entire Yongzhou and other places in Liangguang will be empty. Then there will be serious harm, and even depending on the situation, the Jiaozhi people are very cruel, under the wanton massacre, the people are afraid, and they have fled back to their hometowns, and the 70 million yuan invested in the development of the two Guangxi is equivalent to a waste. Therefore, after seeing the vicious offensive and defensive battles in Zhuzhai, Yu Jing did one thing.
He also issued a mobilization order.
After the great victory of Anyuan City, he wrote again, and said that Zheng Lang led the army to attack Thang Long City from the sea, and Jiaozhi was about to destroy the country. Ladies and gentlemen, you join the army, take up arms, as long as you hold the twelve villages for a period of time, you will have a great victory.
Again, there were not many Jiaozhi troops, and Anyuan City alone had captured 17,000 people, and Guo Kui had captured more than 8,000 people, which was not to be feared.
After this mobilization order was issued, more young and middle-aged people joined the army.
The Song army likes to fight with the wind, and the people are even more so.
Seeing this, Yu Jing was overjoyed. Most of the Jiaozhi warships were burned at the mouth of the Qinjiang River, and Zheng Lang could advance or retreat. But there is a premise, the front line must not be lost. The front line is stable, and Zheng Lang's side can rest assured that he can make contributions.
Anyone can compete for merit, but they will not compete with Zheng Lang.
What does Zheng Lang want to do? Is it stupid to fight for yourself?
His idea was good, but after Zhang Qi and Su Mian heard it, they wanted to scold their mother.
can't say it, even if it can be said that Anyuan City won a great victory, it can't be said that Zheng Lang went to Shenglong City. Zheng Lang's behavior was also a stealing opportunity, bringing 20,000 soldiers over, including the forbidden army, some barbarian warriors recruited from Guangnan East Road, and 3,000 militia brought from Anyuan City, this militia was not intended to be sent to the battlefield, but used to carry things. It is enough to deal with the empty Jiaozhi, once the Jiaozhi army retreats, there will be more than one luck. Sooner or later, the people of Jiaozhi in front of Taipingzhai will know, but winning a day has one more chance of winning.
Now Yu Jing is very good, and he will release the news directly.
Fortunately, Zhang Qi and Zhao Xun and other generals arrived in Taiping Village together, and the generals began to discuss as soon as they learned the news. had no choice but to let Guo Kui and them act in advance and tie their pockets.
It's a fantastic plan.
Di Qing is meritorious, and Zheng Lang and Zhang Kang are also meritorious. Di Qing only provided an idea, but all kinds of plans were perfected by Zheng Lang and Zhang Kang.
Guo Kui and other soldiers did not withdraw at Sanguan.
After the generals deliberated, the carrier pigeons were released at night. Last year, he deliberately invited a big cannibal to come over to assist the imperial court in training a group of carrier pigeons. The Great Cannibal had been using carrier pigeons for navigation before the Song people invented the compass. He has a good hand at training carrier pigeons.
However, carrier pigeons are of little use on the battlefield and can often kill enemies with arrows. Therefore, it can only be released at night.
More than a dozen carrier pigeons were released and flew everywhere in the second half of the night, some deep in the mountains and old forests. After receiving the carrier pigeons, some ambush soldiers came out of the mountains and forests.
The Cochin invasion, the three passes to resist the enemy, the rear withdrew, but the militia was providing support to the front line, so it was very chaotic. Song Jun said in front of the pass, we have abandoned the pass and will withdraw. In fact, it was not withdrawn, only a group of militias. The real main army dives deep into the mountains.
The south of Taipingzhai is all mountainous, the mountains and forests are dense, the forests are thick and there are many holes, except for some obvious places, many deep mountains and old forests can not be noticed, unless Jiaozhi sends 10,000 people as scouts, in order to search the vast area.
Even if you send 10,000 scouts. Hiding in some large remote holes, and doing some cover up outside the hole, you can't find it. This is the governance of Yongzhou as well as Yizhou. Or conquer the most headache place in Meishanman in the future. However, at this time, it turned into a favorable factor for the Song army.
After receiving the carrier pigeons, the army all came out and took advantage of the cover of night. Walk hard in the mountains and forests. The sacrifices made to make the plan go smoothly were heavy. In the past few days, the living environment was bad, not only did they die in battle, but some soldiers also suffered from various diseases, and finally they did not fall on the battlefield, but fell under the disease.
But in order to tie the pockets, had to for.
The second arrangement came out again.
At present, there are some soldiers left behind in the three passes, but there are not many. However, with the strength of the Song army, they wanted to attack. It's also difficult. In fact, after the war, Zheng Lang also broke out in a cold sweat, the crown prince of Jiaozhi did not understand military affairs, because he suffered heavy losses before the three passes, and he angrily issued an order to let his subordinates destroy the three passes. However, it was stopped by Wu Er, and the three levels were left, which is more beneficial. Once the Song Dynasty sent a large army to come and was defeated in Yongzhou, it could use three passes to resist the Song army, and it could be attacked and defended. persuaded Li Rizun to come down.
But if it is really according to Li Rizun's orders. Zheng Lang was sad.
When Sanguan and Yongping Village were built, an important backhand was left.
When the project reached the end, Zheng Lang told all the people to retreat and hand it over to the soldiers. Then a tunnel of several hundred meters long was dug under the three passes, which was more difficult, and many places were mostly rocks, but fortunately, explosives appeared. Otherwise, the plan will still not be approved. It took a lot of effort to dig the tunnel, and all the tunnels below the three levels were sealed, which was completely sealed, and dozens of centimeters of thick soil were covered on it. The other end was also sealed, but with a secret mark.
The people of Sanguan Jiaozhi did not pay attention, and even if they paid attention to this night, they would not pay attention to the mountains and forests hundreds of meters away. Why should we pay attention? At this time, the Song army all withdrew to the twelve villages, not to mention the night, and there were no Jiaozhi soldiers to patrol during the day.
Each found the mark, dug up the dirt again, and slipped into it.
The exit of the tunnel is where the warehouse of Sanguan is located, and the materials in the warehouse were emptied before the Song army evacuated. There would also be no supplies in the storeroom, so it was all empty now.
Smoothly touched the bottom of the warehouse, pulled off the thick wooden frame that supported the soil, quickly dug up the soil above with a shovel, and came to the warehouse unconsciously. At this time, the sky is bright. The Song army suddenly came out of the three passes and one village. The Jiaozhi troops left behind are really very few, the most Zhennan Pass has only more than 200 soldiers, and the least Shuikou Pass has lost its effect because there are many hidden piles on the Zuojiang River, leaving only more than 50 people. Caught off guard, only a few soldiers escaped.
In less than an hour of fighting, the three levels and one village changed hands again.
This is the second step plan, and there is also the third step and the fourth step plan.
The third step of the plan has already begun, because the three passes and one village are in the hands of the Jiaozhi people, although it has been opened, Wu Er did not expect it.
That is Guangyuan Prefecture.
The Jiaozhi people sent an army to attack the Zhuzhai of Guangyuan Prefecture, and the Song Dynasty sent envoys to negotiate with Nong Zongdan secretly. Among the caves in Guangyuan Prefecture, the two caves controlled by Nong Zongdan are the largest, so in the history of the caves to the Song Dynasty, that is, to accept the Song Dynasty Zhao'an on behalf of Nong Zongdan, and then the Song Dynasty let him take charge of the caves, change the caves to Shun'an Prefecture, and take Nong Zongdan as the governor. Nong Zongdan's father and son are not white-eyed wolf Nong Zhigao, and after returning to the Song Dynasty, they know who their enemies are. Many times led the officers and soldiers and the clansmen to fight against Jiaozhi, the Song Dynasty was not thin on Nong Zongdan's father and son, and moved Nong Zongdan to Guizhou Prefecture to supervise the deputy envoy of the treasury, and his son Nong Rixin was promoted to Yongzhou Tax Supervisor. It's a pity that the Song Dynasty was defeated at that time, and there was no intention to go south, and finally the father and son died heroically in the battle with the Jiaozhi people.
Therefore, Zheng Lang did not reject Nong.
Di Qing raised his noble hand in the Battle of Yongzhou, and Zheng Lang thought that Di Qing had done the right thing. It is precisely because Zheng Lang still remembers the deeds of Nong Zongdan's father and son.
So the father and son became an important chess piece in Zheng Lang's plan.
But Nong Zhigao had just been wiped out, and there was a gap between the two sides, Zheng Lang did not dare to startle the snake, and it was not until the Jiaozhi soldiers left Guangyuan Prefecture that the envoy sneaked to Nong Zongli to negotiate.
Several promises were made, the first promise was to withdraw the Song army from Sanguan, and as soon as the Song army withdrew from Sanguan, the Jiaozhi army entered the hinterland of Yongzhou along Sanguan, and the siege of Zhudong in Guangyuan Prefecture was relieved.
The second promise is to build a road to Zhuzhai Cave to revitalize their economy, if there is any idea, do not agree to build a road into the village into the cave, the Song Dynasty will not force.
The third commitment is the mutual market, the unification of commercial taxes, and this must be paid. However, if an official increases his or her taxes, he can complain to the imperial court and write this article in the covenant. Strangle the stone into a monument, let the officials be vigilant. Guangyuan Prefecture has many local products, not only gold. There are also copper mines, as well as a number of other products. In the Song Dynasty, it was not eye-catching, but for the barbarians of Guangyuan Prefecture, it was a lot of income. They were allowed to mine on their own, and the profits were distributed among their tribes, and the court did not levy any taxes other than commercial taxes.
The fourth promise is when the Cochins invade again in the future. The two sides cooperated with each other, and they also had to cooperate with the Song Dynasty to fight the enemy together, and the Song Dynasty also helped them to resist the Jiaozhi invasion.
The fifth promise was a multiple-choice question, and the imperial court financed the construction of water conservancy for them, immigrated to them to develop it, taught them farming and other advanced skills, and sent officials. Assist them in governing together, but they must levy two taxes, and the two taxes are unified, and one mu of land may pay two buckets of grain, or pay forty yuan. Or use cloth instead. That is, if you want to be completely regulated by the imperial court, you have to pay taxes. On the contrary, if you have independence and freedom, you don't have to pay these two taxes, although it is very light.
The last promise made many barbarians scratch their heads, and the envoy said the answer according to Zheng Lang's meaning, sending officials to manage it, or sending officers and soldiers to garrison, it would cost money. Let the Han households come and teach them, one is taxed, the other is not taxed, and the Han households are not satisfied.
It seems to make sense, and many brutes can't figure it out. The actual choice question is not the question of paying taxes or not, if you want independence and freedom, and continue to be outside the management of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court can only treat it differently. It is impossible for you to continue to be the emperor, and the Song Dynasty is still stupidly sending troops for you to fight against Jiaozhi. Under the management of the Song Dynasty, then it must be treated as a subject of the Song Dynasty. How much you give, how much you get. If you don't give, you don't get.
This makes them think slowly and choose.
Give them many benefits, but also pay. The effort was to build two stockades on the two main roads at once, and not to allow the Jiaozhi people to enter and exit freely from Guangyuan Prefecture when the time came. These two large villages are the mutual market in the future. Even because it is located in a commercial artery, the scale can grow in the future, and the huge commercial circulation will bring more prosperity to Zhuzhai. This is both a requirement and an opportunity.
There are other trails, let them move stones, and seal them together.
The barbarian leaders didn't know what arrangements the Song Dynasty had, and the conditions were very relaxed, just to build two stockades and seal the roads, which could be done. In addition to this request, there seemed to be many benefits, and after deliberation, the barbarian leaders quickly agreed.
The Song army withdrew from the pass, and the Jiaozhi people were no longer interested in the barbarians of Guangyuan Prefecture, so they had to take Yongzhou and withdraw the army. The barbarian leaders immediately initiated the people to choose dangerous places on the two main roads and build two large villages. The village is not as good as the Taiping Village, with a fence built inside and a rock and earth on the outside. The time is short, and it is impossible to build a decent stockade, but it is better because the terrain is steep and can be held for a while. Unless Jiaozhi ignores going around in a big circle and leads the main army to attack. It's impossible. and destroyed the paths. It's not completely ruined, but it can drag on for a few days.
The barbarians of Guangyuan Prefecture were tossing, and Wu Er had also heard about it, but he didn't expect that the Song Dynasty was using more than 7,000 square kilometers of special mountainous terrain as a pocket and was having a headache about how to take Zhuzhai, so he didn't care about it.
The three levels changed hands, and the messenger found Nong Zongdan again and informed him that he should quickly gather the strong men of your clan and enter the village to defend. Only then did the truth be told, not to eliminate the main force of Jiaozhi for the time being, but to put them in their pockets first, so that they could not advance or retreat. The Song Dynasty sent the main force to attack Thang Long City, once Thang Long City was taken. Catch the Jiaozhi magnates, Jiaozhi has no intention of fighting again, trapped in the pocket and the logistics are insufficient. The whole army will collapse. Since then, Cochin has officially gone downhill. In the future, the safety of Guangyuan Zhuzhai has also been guaranteed.
Once the pocket is sealed, and it is heard that Thang Long City is in danger, the main force of Jiaozhi will be killed. When the three passes are not attacked, a force may be divided to attack Guangyuan Prefecture, and their task now is to stop this small force of Jiaozhi army that may come over in front of the two villages.
Nong Zongdan was overjoyed and sighed: "If the imperial court is like this earlier, why does Zhigao need to betray?" ”
The envoy snorted coldly: "He is being the emperor, how about the imperial court?" ”
Nong Zongdan is speechless.
It didn't make much sense to carry this bar, Nong Zongdan quickly summoned the cave masters, dispatched thousands of strong men, and went to the two villages.
The third step of the plan was successfully completed, and at this point, this flat area has officially become a super large pocket array. The three passes and one village urgently moved weapons and supplies from their respective hiding places, but there was not much time left, and the road was difficult, so everyone moved very hard. Fortunately, Zhang Qi reacted in time, and Yu Jing's mobilization order had not yet been known to Wu Er, and when he was puzzled, he gave more than a day. But this pocket is still very thin, although the danger of the city, the number of troops is too small, whether it can stab tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, may not be known. (To be continued.)
