Chapter 1335 Analysis of He Xinyin
"Don't say that!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "Anyway, he didn't take advantage of anything. This has nothing to do with you. However, the elder brother can help me, which makes me feel a lot easier."

"When are you going to leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi?"

"Why does the eldest brother think that he is going to leave Suzhou completely, and he must go to Jiangxi instead of Guangdong?"

He Xinyin squinted at Luo Dao: "What? Is this an assessment of me? Anyone who is not a fool knows."

"Okay, I won't ask any more, lest you think I'm a fool." Luo Xin smiled wryly, "However, I still can't leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi for the time being."

"Why?" He Xinyin frowned and said, "Don't you know that the army now needs you, the Great Ming Army God, to stabilize the army's morale?

Don't look at the fact that the army can still stabilize now, but the morale has dropped seriously. If it continues like this, and the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan continue to harass, the army will undoubtedly be defeated.At that time, it is certain that you and Hu Zongxian will be dismissed from office, maybe even the head of the project will not be guaranteed. "

"It's not peaceful here either!"

Luo Xin sighed, he was very trustworthy in He Xinyin's character, but he was called a chivalrous scholar, so what does that mean?

That shows that he has the heart of a chivalrous man.

So he told He Xinyin that the Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's Anzi were preparing to cause trouble in the south, and told He Xinyin that the Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's people in other places were under his control, only Hangzhou was the only place where there was no trace.Afterwards, he told He Xinyin about his arrangement. After thinking for a while, He Xinyin said:

"No, your arrangement is feasible. Concentrate Shilin people in an inn, and congregate businessmen from feudal states in a guild hall for protection. If there is no problem with these two groups of people, nothing will happen. As for the ordinary places in Hangzhou, they are protected by the government. , is enough. Presumably Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are not interested in them either."

"That's right! And the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan still want to develop. The south is their foundation. They can't ruin their reputation, so the possibility of them harming the people is not great. The problem now is, I don't know when they will launch."

"I think they're coming soon." He Xinyin said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.Now that Hu Zongxian was defeated and comatose, at this time, if something happened to all the southern state capitals, something would happen to him, Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian. Under the rage of Emperor Jiajing, the two of them could at least be dismissed first.

Therefore, when the news of Hu Zongxian's defeat and coma came back, it was time for those members of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan to mobilize.Naturally, the news they got was not as fast as the news sent to Luo Xin by Babaili urgently, but they should get the news now.Luo Xin's expression couldn't help changing slightly, he stood up and said:

"Brother He, sit down for a while."

He Xinyin knew what Luo Xin was going to do, so she nodded and sat there.Luo Xin came back very quickly, and at the same time ordered his servants to go to the restaurant to book a banquet, and he soon relaxed, Luo Xin and He Xinyin chatted while eating.

"Brother He, how do you tell me how to suppress the bandits after I go to Jiangxi?" Luo Xin has experienced many battles, but they were all on the plains. He has never experienced this kind of war in the mountains.

He Xinyin seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, drank a glass of wine and said, "Wars in the mountains and forests are different from those on the plains."

"I would like to hear more about it." Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin with a serious expression.

"Actually, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are not the only ones in the mountains and forests, they are just a minority."

"You mean mountain people?"

Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin and said, Luo Xin also stayed in Hangzhou for a few years, and visited the whole south, so he still has some understanding of the south.There are many mountain people in the south, and these mountain people are a headache for the court.These mountain people live in the mountains and forests, and they don't obey the court's control at all. When they can live on, that is, when they have a good harvest, they will take animal meat and animal skins to the mountain to exchange for food and various daily necessities.When they can't kill enough beasts, they will go down the mountain together to rob.

The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but the problems encountered were the same as Hu Zongxian's. Those mountain people were familiar with the deep mountains and old forests.The imperial court also recruited them many times, but the effect was very bad. Those mountain people surrendered, surrendered and surrendered, and surrendered again, causing the imperial court to suffer huge losses.

"That's right!" He Xinyin nodded and said: "In the mountains and forests, the real power is the mountain people. If you want to use an analogy, the mountain people are water, and Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are just fish that rely on water. So, think To really wipe out the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, you must first control the water. First, pull these mountain people to the court's side. If the mountain people stand on the court's side, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect will lose their foothold."

Luo Xin is silent. When he was in Hangzhou, he also studied these mountain people and the imperial court's policy on mountain people.To be fair, it should be divided into two aspects.

Under the circumstances that the imperial court is not in a position to exterminate the mountain people, surrender is the only way.Therefore, Daming has recruited and surrendered the mountain people many times, but in the end they all failed.

Daming went to two extremes.

One is that they treat the mountain people very badly, which makes the mountain people unhappy, and eventually leads them to return to the mountains.The other is to treat the mountain people too well, which is already superior to the local Han people. As long as there is a conflict between the Han people and the mountain people, the government will definitely judge it to be the fault of the Han people. They are afraid that the mountain people will rebel and return to the mountains. Achievements, was dismissed by the court.However, the final result was that the mountain people could not fill their desires, which eventually caused chaos, burned, killed and looted, and ran back to the mountains.

"We should recruit those mountain people first. As long as the mountain people are appeased, those rebels are like fish out of water. It is not difficult to catch or kill them."

Looking at He Xinyin's determined expression, Luo Xin sighed and said, "The speed is too slow!"

He Xinyin nodded and said: "This must be a slow effort, I can't remember. Both the rebels and the mountain people are the people at the foot of the Gun Mountain. The most important thing is that they all have a common enemy, which is the court. So it is easy for them to collude. together.

However, there is still an essential difference between the mountain people and Zhang Daoyuan. Let's take the imperial court as an example. They recruited the mountain people, but they definitely would not recruit Zhang Daoyuan.

Therefore, the rebels and the mountain people only form an alliance because of a common enemy, and there must be conflicts between the two parties.Mountain people rely on two main medicines for daily life, one is hunting and the other is planting.Don't be surprised, they will also look for some valleys suitable for planting in the mountains, and they have gradually become the main food source that the mountain people rely on.
