Han Shizu

Chapter 1735 Silent Yulin

In the dilapidated town, it is not a dead place, but there are still some angry and desolate winds, there are pheasants looking for food, and crows are nibbling on carrion.

Since Han general Wang Meng led the Hu-Han coalition forces to patronize, this place has almost become an absolute territory. The main color is darkness and loneliness. The rancid smell spreads inside and outside, and the strong wind from the northwest seems to be unable to blow away.

There is no doubt that most of the bones in the rubble are party members.How fanatical and exciting they were when they rebelled, how desolate and desolate they were when they became dry bones.

It is obviously not true to say that all party members want to rebel against the big man and oppose the court.

Among the people at the bottom, apart from differences in beliefs, production methods, and living habits, there is no essential difference between the Hu and Han people.

However, the difference between ethnic groups is an objective implementation. When someone preaches the oppression of the imperial court and the occupation of the Han people, the party members will inevitably not be deceived by it. The careerists are a minority, but those ordinary party members who are encouraged, those who are against the traitors Those who silently encourage and support people must not be simply described as innocent.

Why don't they want to establish an independent and independent party regime in their hearts, that is, to restore the original status of the Dingnan Army, even though most people don't know whether such a result will benefit them or not, and how beneficial it will be.

The imperial court's anti-insurgency operations can be described as brutal and cruel. As for talking about humanity, it really doesn't make much sense for an autocratic monarchy empire like the Han Dynasty.Those in power in the Han Dynasty prefer to talk about the way of heaven, but for the court, what is the way of heaven, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, that's all.

In fact, the party members in Yulin were already guilty after the court took such a stern posture and military operations on such a scale, and when Yuan Ke and Li Jiqian were defeated successively, they became completely panicked and even panicked. Ideologically, there was a division, and the rebels in various places and the parties of various ministries were hard to get together.

At that time, many people felt that it was time to "let it go". The court was so powerful that the rebellion would not end well. This understanding became very clear.

However, such introspection is too late.It is different from the previous dynasties' attitude towards the rebellion of the Hu people. It is not to send troops to fight against the rebels, defeat the rebels, and then have a few years of peace, waiting for the next rebellion to break out.

Under the will of Emperor Liu, the Han court has always adhered to the principle of eradicating all evil and eradicating the grass and roots in dealing with such rebellions. If there is a slight possibility of tolerance for ordinary Han people, there is little room for Hu people.

In the past 20 years, there have been countless rebellions and turmoils in the great Han from south to north, from the inside to the outside. Without exception, all those who participated in the rebellion were either killed or put into death penalty. There is no possibility of any relief for the camp project.

After such a high-pressure policy lasted for more than 20 years, most of the barbarians gradually began to tame and were in a state of naturalization. After all, most of the rebels and those suspected of rebellion were killed or sent to prison camps for reform.

For many party members in Yulin, he sympathized with the rebels and supported the rebellion, but as long as he didn't personally participate in it like Yeli and other tribes, there was room for him.

If the rebel army succeeds, they can take advantage of the opportunity. If the rebel army fails, they will not have much loss. At most, they can go back to the past twenty years or so, and it is not impossible to get used to it.

However, there are no such easy things in the world, especially the special ethnic, political, and military conditions in Yulin and even in the Northwest, which made the court's attitude extremely firm and its actions extremely ruthless, and did not give chances to those who wanted to lead the way.The situation is complicated, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and it is difficult to distinguish the loyal and the traitor, so they should be eliminated together.

And at this point, many party members have just woken up and regretted it.However, it was too late, the rope of death had already been put around the neck, and the butcher knife for beheading had been polished to a bright shine.

As far as the imperial court is concerned, in order to set up this formation, mobilizing 10,000+ troops cost countless human, financial and material resources. After such a heavy price is paid, there is no room for everything. There is no possibility of braking, and the only way is to follow the established strategic plan Go on until you're done.

And the most obvious result is that the whole area of ​​Yulin has turned into blood, within a thousand miles, there are very few people, and even if there are, they are just corpses.

In Yulin, there is no doubt that those who were killed were all "traitors", but the murderers were not necessarily.The reason for this lies in the policy announced at the beginning that those who hold the head of the rebels and donate to the government will be spared death.

In Yulin where massacres are rampant, the only policy of forgiveness for traitors is also unavoidably misunderstood. Of course, it may have been within the expectations of the court.

As early as when the Yulin blockade was formed and the border materials were seriously lacking, some rebels who had nothing to loot and nothing to invade felt threatened.

In the severe cold of snow and ice, wealth and honor were not the goal of the rebels. Survival was the first priority. The first level ventured to surrender to the government.

For these "anyway" behaviors, under the auspices of Zhao Wang Liu Fang, he did not break his promise, but strictly followed the will of Emperor Liu, accepted them all, and gave him a certificate of exoneration.

Of course, for these people, capital crimes are inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable. They were all sent to the north and south, and Anxi, Anton, Annan, and Nanyang were all destinations for exile.But no matter what, at least his life was saved.

With these role models, there are practical references for how the remaining rebels choose.The internal slaughter of fellow rebels also started from this. At first, it was only a small-scale conflict, a food fight, and later it evolved into a complete battle for survival.

When Yuan and Li were defeated successively by the official army and the uprising rebels from all walks of life, there was no reason to persist, and a large-scale knockout match officially started.The court's rewards were only aimed at the officers and soldiers, the Han people, and the servants, but the rebels only wanted to survive, and they also mercilessly attacked the surrounding rebel teams.

At the same time, in addition to the government and military organizations, those who chased and killed the rebels also included party members in Yulin.In the same way, if a party member holds the head of a "traitor", he can also avoid death.

As a result, the Colosseum in Yulin has reached its climax, where everyone is killing and being killed.

In the entire chess game, only the officers and soldiers are the most relaxed, and the rest are just for survival.In contrast, those ordinary party members were in the most difficult situation and ended up the most miserable.

When they had to pick up knives, mount horses, and point their targets at the rebels in order to survive, the rebels also discovered that it was easier to deal with ordinary party members than organized ones. If you can survive, as for whether you are a rebel or not, the government doesn't care, so why should they care?

By March of the 22nd year of Kaibao, the total number of "surrenders" received by the government in Yulin was no more than 7000, which means that at least [-] traitor heads were offered.

Yulin is far from such a few people, and most of the remaining people have become rewards for the officers and soldiers.

After entering March, the catastrophe seemed to have passed quietly, the sound of fighting no longer kept coming and going, and the heavens and the earth wept ghosts and gods. After the carnival, there was silence. Huang Yangping was a standard example.

And Huang Yangping, who fell into deathly silence, welcomed another group of visitors yesterday. There were not many people, less than a hundred, with ragged clothes, embarrassing figures, everyone with knives, and more than a dozen flesh-and-blood horses.

In Yulin these days, people can't survive, let alone animals.And just this morning, an internal strife broke out not so unexpectedly. Nearly a hundred people fought with each other and killed each other. In the end, more than forty people survived. There are twenty people.

In the end, all the heads were cut off, and they were driven silently to Xiazhou in the south, pulled by more than a dozen horses.
However, on the way, they were discovered by a team of cavalry from the army. In a surprise attack, all the remaining [-] people were killed, with nearly a hundred heads, and the army was able to share nearly a hundred coins.

It is true that the policy of offering the head of a rebel to the government can save his life, and the government never breaks its promise, but the premise is that it can reach the town and meet the responsible officials.And such a small team, a team of official cavalry can easily be destroyed. In such a cruel environment in Yulin, unless the luck is very good, there is little possibility of survival.

The silence in Yulin in the past few months has almost been silent here. The government and army have been silent, and so has the court.
