Chapter 543: Suppressing the Central Plains
Qin Xiaobai's clever plan is actually not very exquisite, it is just a very simple but very practical method, that is, squeezing the troops.
The so-called soldiers and horses are like sister paper...... Ahh
The troops in northern and southern Xinjiang cannot move in a big way, but they can still squeeze out.
The first is Saibei, which was garrisoned by 300,000 Qin troops to guard against the Xiongnu in the north.
However, Qin Xiaobai believes that 100,000 is completely enough, and historical records record that Meng Tian used 100,000 infantry to attack the Xiongnu in the north to recover the Hetao area, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south to herd horses.
Meng Yi, who was possessed by Qin Xiaobai, was based on Meng Tian, even if he was not so corrupt, it was more than enough to use 100,000 to guard the Great Wall.
In this way, there were 200,000 more soldiers and horses.
Just kidding, what is the concept of 200,000 regular Qin troops, it is completely enough to extinguish those peasant uprisings, or when they are still sparks.
But for the sake of insurance, this was not enough, so he squeezed out the soldiers and horses in the north, and then squeezed the soldiers and horses in the south.
Speaking of which, the first emperor left 500,000 troops to guard the south, and naturally he has his reason, the rebellions in the land of Baiyue are frequent, even in the later period of Eastern Wu, there are all kinds of Baiyue rebellions, and the 500,000 army can be firmly suppressed, and Lingnan, a place that has just been defeated.
However, it is not too late to settle the Lingnan issue after the affairs of the Central Plains are thoroughly pacified.
As long as the sovereignty of the Lingnan region allows the Lingnan region to recognize the Great Qin Empire as the central government, the central government can reduce or exempt the Lingnan region and so on, and even let the tribes of the Baiyue ethnic groups be autonomous and regress to the maximum extent to prevent them from making trouble.
In this way, the 500,000 Qin army could draw back at least 300,000 people.
200,000 Northern Army, 300,000 Southern Xinjiang Army. Combined, 500,000 Qin troops could be used to suppress the Central Plains.
As long as the Central Plains is allowed to stabilize for the time being, and then the new policy he formulated for the support of the Soviet Union is implemented, and the policy of reforming laws and regulations is implemented to implement benevolent governance, then the Central Plains problem will be completely solved.
When the time comes, it will not be too late to go back and concentrate our efforts to thoroughly solve the Lingnan issue.
However, from the perspective of Lingnan, the real problem is not Baiyue, but that the Qin army in southern Xinjiang is too far away from the central government. Even if they don't know how to oppose the imperial court, they may listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and it is easy and difficult to move them.
If the central court can't mobilize the Qin army in southern Xinjiang, not to mention the 300,000 soldiers and horses, it will also greatly damage the prestige of the central court, which will be a pit.
Although this was only a possibility, in order to be able to safely obtain the Great Qin Dragon Qi, Qin Xiaobai still thought of a foolproof strategy.
If you want the Southern Xinjiang Qin Army to return to the embrace of the Central Imperial Court, you must change the head of the Southern Xinjiang Qin Army. Zhao Tuo can't be allowed to continue to breed his ambitions of separatism and self-reliance in southern Xinjiang.
So Qin Xiaobai thought of a strategy, that is, to revise the edict of the first emperor.
Under the pretense of the first emperor's will, Zhao Tuo, the deputy commander of the Qin army in southern Xinjiang, returned to the central government and was appointed as the general of the Great Qin Empire. Let him return to Xianyang to be sealed.
At the same time, there are two more candidates for this general, namely Meng Yi and Wang Li, who are possessed by him.
Meng Yi represented the Central Army, Wang Li represented the Northern Army, and Zhao Tuo represented the Southern Xinjiang Army.
And so it goes. It will give people the impression that the first emperor's will is to help the Soviet Union pacify the world's soldiers and horses, which greatly increases the credibility of this will.
Now that it's believable. It's not that the court wants to summon him back to kill him, then this is a good thing to be promoted and make a fortune, and Zhao Tuo has no reason to disobey
What's more, the first emperor has just died, and Yu Wei is still there, and Zhao Tuo definitely doesn't dare to disobey.
At the same time as Zhao Tuo was recalled, the imperial court sent another general loyal to the imperial court to take Zhao Tuo's place.
In this way, the Qin army in southern Xinjiang will once again return to the absolute control of the central court.
Although it is said that at this time, the chief general of the Qin army in southern Xinjiang was actually the lieutenant of Nanhai County, but at this time, Ren Huan was gradually seriously ill, and the military power was gradually transferred to Zhao Tuo.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Tuo is replaced, and there is the support of the central court, it is natural that he can easily stand up to the clamor of gradually becoming seriously ill.
As for who to replace Zhao Tuo, Qin Xiaobai didn't have a good candidate at the beginning, after all, everyone was very busy, and all the famous generals that the Great Qin Empire could use at present had to be used.
First of all, Qin Xiaobai himself, he wants to go north to replace Wang Li's position and sit in Saibei to prevent the Xiongnu from taking advantage of the situation.
Later, according to Qin Xiaobai's strategic plan, the Great Qin Empire was to divide the army into three routes to suppress the Central Plains.
In particular, Daze Township and Mangdang Mountain in the land of Qilu, and Wuzhong in the land of Wu Yue, the southeast of the empire belonged to the weakest place in the control of the imperial court.
The three-way army naturally needs to be commanded by famous generals.
Wang Li, a veteran general who was loyal to the Great Qin and had many military exploits, undoubtedly led a large army to suppress the Central Plains for the Great Qin Empire.
Zhang Han, a potential general, naturally has to be promoted to lead the army all the way.
Although Zhang Han is a surrender faction, there is no doubt that he surrendered after the battle, after all, the Great Qin Empire is already in the building, and anyone who has reached that point will not be able to return to the sky.
On the opposite side is the god opponent, the overlord of Xichu, the pig teammate on his side, and the two Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, it is understandable that Zhang Han surrendered at this time.
In the end, because the Great Qin Empire was no longer available, Qin Xiaobai even planned to use Zhao Tuo, who later split and established himself as the king of Nanyue, in the plan of the Central Plains of the Three Armies, to lead the troops and horses all the way.
Although Zhao Tuo is a little more pitiful than Zhang Han, at least he surrendered after a hard fight, and Zhao Tuo didn't even fight, so he set himself up as the king.
But anyway, Zhao Tuo is also a person who belongs to the Great Qin system, and the other famous generals at the end of Qin are all clearly anti-Qin.
And as long as the Great Qin Empire does not have internal troubles, does not mess with itself, and destroys the Great Wall, Zhao Tuo, like Zhang Han, is a person who can be used.
Zhang Han, Wang Li, Zhao Tuo, the combination of these three, except for Han Xin and Xiang Yu, who are against the sky, are basically not afraid of any famous generals at the end of Qin.
In the case of absolute superiority in forces, not to mention, it is more than enough to complete the task of suppressing the Central Plains.
However, Qin Xiaobai even used the surrender faction and the split party, which can also be seen how lacking generals the Great Qin Empire is now.
Who will replace Zhao Tuo's position, which can not only bring the Qin army in southern Xinjiang back to the embrace of the central court, but also suppress the foot of Lingnan, is a problem.
"Fusu has been in the border for a long time, and he is not familiar with the situation of the imperial court, and the matter of selecting the leader of the general still needs Mr. Meng's effort."
Qin Xiaobai has fooled Fusu, and now Fusu completely agrees with Qin Xiaobai, so he asked Qin Xiaobai to visit the general, and Fusu said that he would fully support him.
“……”
Qin Xiaobai was sweaty when he saw this, now that the role has fallen, Fusu has become a shopkeeper instead, and he is still reflecting on whether he has blown too much of his cheats......
But this matter really has to be solved by him, who called him the only person who is familiar with the famous historical generals of the late Qin Dynasty, and he also has the function of reading people......
"Well, I heard that it seems that there are still great talents from the first emperor period in Xianyang City, I don't know if it's true, and go and explore the ......" (to be continued.) )
