Chapter 2172 Strategies and Judgments

Facts have proved that Zhu Mingxia and others still underestimated the moral lower limit of feudal society.At this time, Xiong Wencan was already a dead horse as a living horse doctor. As soon as the strategy of "turning soldiers into bandits" came out, "official bandits" from all walks of life came out one after another.Not only did the disintegrated Ming army in Guangdong quickly turn into bandits, they had already surrendered, but a considerable part of the officers and soldiers "temporarily guarding the city" also turned into various bandit groups; many officers and soldiers who retreated to Guangxi also returned to Guangdong.

The most terrible thing is that some local "local tyrants" and "village sages" originally held the idea of ​​"guarding the village", but the rampant bandits made them eager to join in the carnival of looting.Especially in some mountainous counties, there was originally a conflict between the natives and the villagers, and due to the troubled times, it immediately turned into a chaos of expelling and plundering each other.

The situation is chaotic, but I can judge based on various situations. Although the chaos is dazzling, this large-scale riot does not have a backbone. At least so far, there has not been a leader like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. characters to gather these forces.Although Guangxi has given sufficient "encouragement" and material support, there is no sign of a high-level leader returning to Guangdong to "preside over the overall situation."Therefore, in the short term, these gangsters cannot gather enough power, and apart from harming the common people, they have little impact on the overall situation.

However, if this kind of banditry persists for a long time, at a certain stage when the waves wash over the sand, there will inevitably be a leader who is popular and skilled. At that time, "bandits" will evolve into "rogues"—— Many of the Li, Zhang, and Cao groups have gradually upgraded in this way.

It was based on the judgment of the Foreign Intelligence Agency that after Zhu Mingxia consulted Xi Asia, he proposed a combat plan for the purge of public security in western Guangdong.

The plan is not complicated. The main purpose is to restore the law and order around Lianshan, control the "Yao chaos" within Lianzhou, and curb the trend of Yao people's riots expanding.At the same time, the bandits along the road were cleared, the normal order of the counties was restored, and the county magistrate of Guihuamin and the squadron of the National Army were sent into the counties with cannons.Re-establish order.

"...The primary core of the mission is to prevent the spread of Yao chaos and restore local order." The staff officer in charge of the explanation talked eloquently at the combat meeting.

The specific combat plan is to form the Suijiang Detachment with Yang Zeng's 8th Battalion and an artillery company as the core. First, go to Sihui, and then go up to Suijiang to receive Guangning and Huaiji - the officers and soldiers stationed in these two places were surrendered. The army has been disbanded, and the social order has fallen into chaos.

After occupying Huaiji, they divided up their troops and marched into Lianzhou, under the control of both suppression and appeasement, and trapped the Yao people's armed forces as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading to the surrounding areas and forming an alliance with bandits.

According to the inference of the staff department, the Yao people's armed forces may first move westward, go south to Wuzhou and then merge with the Yao people in Guangxi; Xijiang marched, instigating the Yao people in Luoding to riot,

If the Yao people from Lianshan want to go west to Wuzhou, they must either go west via Hezhou or go south via Huaiji. Hezhou is garrisoned by the Guangxi Ming army. Although the officials are happy to see the Yao people rebelling in Guangdong, they will not let them pass.Huaiji is the only way for them to go to Wuzhou.Moreover, Suijiang, which flows through Huaiji, Guangning, and Sihui, originated from Lianshan. The detachment can conquer Huaiji and go straight to Lianshan, and retreat can rely on Suijiang Sihui to stick to Guangning. It can also cooperate with Qingyuan's middle road Army, if things change, they will be able to rush back to Zhaoqing within a few days.

"In this battle, three parts are military and seven parts are politics." Zhu Mingxia spoke after the staff reported the battle plan, "Especially the National Army, after you arrive at the station, you must do your best to cooperate with our cadres, not only to suppress The bandits need to gather the hearts of the people. For specific tasks, you should follow the arrangements of the local cadres after you arrive at the station—you must obey their leadership!"

When Zhu Mingxia held a combat meeting for the officers, in another building in Zhaoqing, Huang Chao just got up from the bed.He just went from Hainan to Guangzhou a few days ago, and he was so seasick all the way, he almost didn't eat a grain of rice, and he was almost carried into the guest house of the Guangzhou Municipal Government.Before I had a good rest, I boarded the boat to Zhaoqing the next day.

"No matter how violent Ba Pai Yao is, it will still slow me down..." Huang Chao complained to Wen Desi who came to see him off to "assumed his new post" before boarding the boat.

"Didn't you always claim to have studied the Yao people in the Ming Dynasty? When you were the county director in Lingshui County, 'Fuli' worked well. Now the situation is very tense." Wen Desi didn't say polite words, he said straight He said, "Bapaiyao in Lianzhou is making a lot of trouble. These problems cannot be completely solved by force alone. We still need to use both the military and the government. I don't worry about assigning Guihuamin county magistrate to the Senate, and neither do I."

So Huang Chao boarded the boat like this-speaking of which, he was "tired by his false name" and he could not blame anyone.

Huang Chao, D, was a finance graduate of a university of finance and economics a few days ago. After graduation, he worked as a civil servant in a certain township for several years. Later, unwilling to live in the township, he signed up for time-traveling and became a member of the time-traveling community. After D day, because Huang Chao's parents ran a small chicken farm in the old time and space, Huang Chao helped the family since he was a child, so he was familiar with the chicken farming business, so he was temporarily assigned to the agricultural entrance. Responsible for taking care of the few poultry brought over from the old time and space.

After staying in Nongkou for a while, I felt bored, and just in time for the climax of expatriation, I was transferred to the county office director of Lingshui County.Became the "county master".

In Lingshui County, there are very few Han people, the registered population is only a few thousand, and most of the residents are Li people.To make some achievements in Lingshui County, "Fuli" is an unavoidable hurdle.

Huang Chao has worked as a township civil servant, and he knows everything at the grassroots level like the palm of his hand.He is also a person who loves to learn, so he read a lot of related books, searched a lot of information in the big library, started a side job of policy research and strategic research, and published several articles, such as "Research on the Li Nationality in Hainan" " A Brief Discussion on the Experience of Lingshui Governance", "Research on the Relationship between Guangdong and Guangxi, Locals and Residents", "Research on the Yao Chaos in the Ming Dynasty", and "Research and Countermeasures on Ethnic Issues in Guangdong and Guangxi", seem to have become experts on ethnic issues in the Senate.

Relying on the skills he learned when he was a civil servant in the township and the accumulation of hundreds of years of information, plus a small but powerful garrison and the missionaries sent by the two major groups of the New Taoism and the Jesuits, he The governance of Lingshui is very impressive, and a lot of construction has been carried out.All of a sudden, he became famous in the Government Affairs Council.He is considered an "administrative talent proficient in ethnic issues".

Naturally, such a talent cannot work in the basically secure Hainan rear area. After the mainland strategy plan was approved, he was transferred back to Lingao. The reason was to train the cadres of the Northward Detachment—of course, he knew that this was just an excuse.In all likelihood, the Government Affairs Council will transfer him to Guangdong to serve as a magistrate.In the Ming Dynasty, the Yao nationality in Guangdong was extremely powerful, and the advance of the Fubo army could not have caused a chain reaction.

as predicted.

The day after the news of the Ba Pai Yao riots reached Lingao, Huang Chao and his wife Huang Su both asked for leave, took their son out for a picnic, and played until dark before returning home.As soon as he got home, he found that a Guihuamin cadre from an organization had been waiting in front of his house for a long time.

"Director of the Organization Department, please come early tomorrow morning to handle the report! There is a new appointment."

The next day, he received a new appointment at the Organization Department: Lianzhou Administrative Commissioner.

At this moment, the Lianzhou administrative commissioner has not recovered from his fatigue. How about seasickness in a big boat, but in a small boat?It was also uncomfortable - because he was in a hurry, he was on a Daihatsu gunboat patrolling upwards, and he didn't stop on the way. In order to prevent possible attacks, he had to stay in the cabin for a long time, enough The noise of machinery and the stench of soot.

"How is it? Are you feeling better?" With the sound of greetings, the door was pushed open.The person who came in was a senior officer of the Fubo Army—it was Bei Wei.

"It's okay, it's okay." Huang Chao waved his hands weakly, "It's been a lot of suffering along the way."

"Let's have a cup of energy potion." Bei Wei motioned for the orderly to bring tea.

"I don't drink that stuff—it's just coca water. It's refreshing to drink, and addictive if you drink too much." Huang Chao picked up the teapot on the table, drank several cups in one go, and felt that his mind was not so dizzy.
"You came to me in such a hurry, not to ask about my body."

"Haha, it's normal for comrades to care about each other." Bei Wei sat down and said, "You're going to take office soon. As for Lao Zhu, he will soon launch an attack on Lianzhou—you are from Lianzhou The parent officer is also an expert on ethnic issues, so I want to talk to you about the current Yao chaos."

"I have read the licensed report, and I think his analysis has been well done."

"Now it's not just a matter of Lianshan. You know that after the anti-yao and east-west mountain ginseng generals were withdrawn, the troops in Luoding Prefecture were empty, and the Yao people had already gone down the mountain to loot villages. We received information that someone was attacking the Yao people in Luoding It seems that they want to incite the Yao people to riot, but there is no definite evidence yet.” Bei Wei said very seriously, “And you have seen our battle plan: the main force is to be placed in the north of Xijiang River, and go out to Lianzhou To suppress the Yao chaos - if the Yao people in Luoding rise up to riot, we will be attacked by the enemy, and we will be very passive. There is also the problem of the unobstructed waterway of the Xijiang River. Once Luoding Prefecture is in chaos, the waterway of the Xijiang River will definitely be greatly affected. So someone suggested that we The Yao people in Luoding preemptively strike—you are an expert in this field, and I want to hear your opinion."

Huang Chao was stunned, it's not that he didn't know - he has studied the Yaomin issue in Guangdong and Guangxi, and he has his own judgment on Luoding's situation - but once this judgment is made, it will inevitably affect South China It is no joke that something goes wrong in the army's military deployment and combat strategy.
