Chapter 475: Expedition to the South
It didn't take much time to sweep Jiangnan, and Bai Lang didn't even need to do it a few times - even if it was Hangzhou, it would be a bloodless opening. Because the puppet emperor and the regent fled to sea with hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people in the court, the defenders of Hangzhou had no desire to fight, so they opened the city directly. Since the puppet imperial court ran to the sea - if it didn't work, it would run to Wan Chai Island, then Jiangnan naturally scattered people's hearts.
That can really be said to be an armed march, and there is no way to resist the White Wave Army. The southern gentry all said that the pseudo-vitality has been exhausted - "The number of qi has been exhausted just after the three generations, and this fucking seems to be inferior to the Western Jin Dynasty." Bai Lang didn't move after the capture of Hangzhou, and the attack to the south was handed over to his younger brothers and sisters. Only four months later, Bai Biao arrived in Guangzhou, and the white leopard was still crawling to Guiyang in the mountains.
"It will take at least a year to pacify the south, and to straighten out all the things inside - I'm afraid ten years is not enough. Bai Lang thought that many problems could be solved by force alone, and repetition was also conceivable. "Therefore, the white leopard and Bai Biao must have someone to guard the south and lead an elite division to prepare to kill at any time. "At the end of the summer of the fourth year of Bailang, the south, including Yungui, was completely pacified—at least nominally.
"Just let me help them remove the thorns before I go back. Bai Lang flipped through the information collected by the brocade guards in his hand, there are many Tusi in Yungui who do not obey the king's orders, nominally obeying the imperial court, but in fact, as long as the imperial court does not openly rebel, they can pay tribute every year. It is a good thing to change the land and return to the stream, but it took nearly a hundred years for the previous dynasty to completely do it.
What Bai Lang wants to do is very simple, nothing more than killing. It is not a problem to travel 800 miles a day with his footsteps, so he only needs to go to the places where those Tusi are, kill them and kill the whole family, and kill the Tusi soldiers by the way, which is less difficult to change the land and return to the stream—especially those sinister places, it is to kill the entire Tusi Village, and how much effort does it take? Anyway, Bai Lang and Bai Yuzhu are in this world to exert all his evil thoughts.
These people often rob the Han people on weekdays, and kidnap innocent people to be slaves, so Bai Lang will not have any psychological burden to kill them, and he understands that Shaobao is still just. "When it was replaced by the big man, these maidservants would have been killed a long time ago. Bai Lang muttered as he ran between the mountains and fields. He ordered Bai Biao, the white leopard, to temporarily act as the regent, and went to kill people by himself.
This is a month of bloodstaining, the southern Yunnan, Guichuan, and Xiang were killed by him, and the whole family of Tusi who was unruly and occupied the dangerous place was killed, and Bai Lang went on a killing spree Anyway, he has always killed people very quickly - I watched the TV of the Southern Dou White Tiger Fist, and it is very efficient in large-scale killing. In the rest of the month, Bai Lang killed more than 100,000 people, but few people knew about it - the government thought it was a natural disaster.
How can manpower kill 100,000 people in a month? Wouldn't that kill 3,000 people a day? I'm afraid that I can't do it even if I'm tired to death, not to mention that those stockades seem to have been destroyed by tornadoes, and the living people were ground into minced meat, which is more credible to say that it was the work of demons. After the killing of Bai Lang, he returned to the imperial capital with his headquarters, leaving the three thousand elites of the White Leopard Inspectorate stationed in the three towns of Wuhan to prepare for suppression at any time, and escort the cabinet bosses left in Nanjing to implement the principles and policies of the north.
It is simple to inspect the land - the left and right are just the officials and gentry who pay the grain, and they only need to collect taxes according to the ownership of the land, and there are no tax exemptions for officials and scholars. Moreover, the family is forcibly separated, breaking the control of those big clans over small families - especially if lynching is used, the old patriarch of the clan will directly go to the vegetable market and stutter a knife. What is the pig cage soaked, the widow is forbidden to remarry, etc., it is forbidden to do so.
If you dare to do it, the government will really dare to kill people and exile them - the people who are the leaders will kill them, and all the people will flow 3,000 miles, and the real estate wealth will be confiscated and compensated to the victims' families. This can be said to be the virtue of the white waves, but the world, especially the south, are shouting that this is Your Majesty's comacity. So the white leopard was so tired that he had to fight the second Jiangnan conquest war, and when the battle was fierce, even Bai Biao put down the affairs of the cabinet and took the army and horses of his headquarters to the south to assist.
Bai Ying and Bai Xiao are also in the south, and the four brothers and sisters of the Bai family will kill the south again - Bai Lang sits firmly in Diaoyutai, and the same is true of the bigwigs in the court. Even when the rebellion in the south was at its most intense, they were not worried, because His Majesty the Emperor had not moved. If the emperor moves, where in the world can he find a person who can stop this brave and unparalleled emperor in the world? Moreover, the income of the imperial court in the north has also increased over the years, and just a policy of collecting taxes according to land area and ownership has collected several times more income than that of the previous dynasty, and the people are still chanting the holy Ming.
Since the imperial court is rich, it does not need to be restrained by the south, and almost all the bigwigs from the north are secretly applauding, "Make your southerners proud!" The Bai family brothers and sisters went on a killing spree in the south, killing people all over the place - among them, there were many Xiucai in the academies in the south of the Yangtze River who raised people and made trouble with the villagers, and at first the white leopard Bai Biao didn't dare to do it, so he asked Bai Lang what to do.
As a result, the white warbler and the white owl didn't hold back, and killed a few, so that the white leopard Bai Biao had to take all these people. Then Bai Lang's will also arrived, "Kill them all!" Bai Lang's meaning is as simple as that - this holy decree is a middle decree, and it does not need to be drafted by the Hanlin Scholars, nor does it need to be signed by the cabinet. This imperial court has the greatest purpose.
So the people of Jiangnan Academy who dared to make trouble were considered to have fallen into blood mold, and the brothers and sisters of the Bai family who took the Zhongzhi directly showed their most brutal fangs, if the academy obediently did not move, it would just be banned and then the mountain chief would come out after a few years in prison, if it was nonsense, the teachers and students would flow three thousand miles together to confiscate the family property, and further pull up the villagers to make trouble and besiege the official mansion?
The scholars in Jiangnan are very troublesome, originally they made trouble only with the government's kind words and persuasion, but now they want to lose their heads when they make trouble. The brothers and sisters of the Bai family are not Bai Lang, Bai Lang doesn't care about the scholars scolding him in the tavern, but the brothers and sisters of the Bai family are not such tolerant and dare to scold and kill the whole family. As a result, the thousands of horses in the south of the Yangtze River are dark, and they are the great families of the scholarly sect that have been handed down for hundreds of years in the previous dynasty, and they have also been wiped out.
For example, Songjiang Xu ...... Songjiang covers an area of hundreds of thousands of hectares, and now it has been overturned, and the whole family has been killed more than ten people, and the rest of the women, children, old and children, have been exiled to the north. All the family property was confiscated, and according to the law issued by Bai Lang, it was gradually distributed to the peasants - as for whether they could hold on to it or not, it was not a matter for the government to take care of it.
