Chapter 1343 Division of Labor
"No weapon!"

At this time, someone shouted, Luo Xin turned his head to look, and saw Hu Zongxian walking towards him under the protection of several personal soldiers.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Luo Xin and He Xinyin greeted him.

"It's nothing serious." Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Dao: "No, I will go into the mountain with you."

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Brother, your body hasn't healed yet. Although there is no serious problem, you have also entered the old forest and know that the environment in the old forest is dangerous. Your body does not have the conditions to enter the old forest now. You stay outside, and I will leave you ten thousand soldiers to encircle and suppress those rebels who ran out of Laolin."

"No weapon..."

"Brother, you are also the commander-in-chief, and you know that sometimes you can't be proud."

"I……"

"And it's also very important to stay outside."

A trace of displeasure appeared on Hu Zongxian's face, and he said, "No, don't fool me. You also said that my brother was once a commander. Doesn't my brother know whether it is important to be outside the mountain?"

"It's not what you think it is!"

Luo Xin waved his hand, and the guards who followed him retreated. He Xinyin thought for a while, guessing that Luo Xin wanted to say something private to Hu Zongxian, so he also nodded to Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin, and retreated to the side.Hu Zongxian also waved his hand, and his personal guards also retreated, leaving only Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin.

Luo Xin closed his eyes, the afterglow of the sun fell on his body, as if covered with a layer of golden armor.

Hu Zongxian stood aside, surrounded by silence.Hu Zongxian gradually felt the pressure from Luo Xin.He didn't have this feeling before, thinking that when he first met Luo Xin, Luo Xin was just a general manager of the seventh-rank market, at that time, Luo Xin was a fly that could be swat to death in front of Hu Zongxian.

He watched Luo Xin ascend to a high position step by step, and now he is the manager of the whole south.But because he and Luo Xin are very familiar, and they have been friends since Luo Xin's infancy, so he has never felt any pressure from Luo Xin.Moreover, Luo Xin has always had no airs in front of him, just like two old friends.

but……

Now he felt the pressure, his Adam's apple twitched, and he said dryly:

"No weapon..."

Luo Xin also opened his eyes, looked up at the afterglow in the sky, and said softly:
"Brother, what do you think is my purpose for entering the mountain this time?"

"I think you will slaughter the eighteen villages. They killed the messenger you sent, and there is no need to surrender."

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I will slaughter the Eighteen Villages and find Zhang Daoyuan's lair. But, brother, do you know how many people really live in the Eighteen Villages?"

"how many?"

"There are 5000 people in Xiaozhai and 3 in Dazhai. However, there are less than 30 people living in Shibazhai. However, the total number of mountain people exceeds one million."

Hu Zongxian nodded solemnly and said: "We also suffered from this loss at the time. After entering the mountains and forests, we found that we were completely at a disadvantage. Not only did we not take advantage of the right time, place and people, but we were not as large as the other party."

"If there are mountain villages, you can't escape. So, I was able to destroy the eighteen villages, but I couldn't destroy the nearly one million mountain people who were not in the mountain village. Those mountain people were too scattered, and they found a place one by one and built a small village. Shanzhai. Each Shanzhai has dozens of people at least, and hundreds of people at most, scattered all over the place, but it will be a headache."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"If I destroy the Eighteen Villages this time with the power of thunder, and then follow the vines, find Zhang Daoyuan's old lair, and destroy Zhang Daoyuan's last strength. Afterwards, I will return to the dynasty. Then, after a few years, there will be another ten The rise of the Eight Villages."

"You want to take this opportunity to solve the problem of the mountain people together?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded.

"Then you want to completely wipe out the mountain people? That's more than a million, and in the deep mountains and old forests, as you said, there are cottages, and they can't escape. But those small cottages with dozens or hundreds of people, they simply Without a cottage, you can build a cottage by going to any place. It is not impossible to wipe out the millions of mountain people, but it will take a long time.

No, we don't have that much time. "

"I didn't intend to exterminate all the mountain people, so wouldn't I become a butcher?" Luo Xin said calmly, "When dealing with these ignorant mountain people, we must treat them equally. They have absolute prestige and stubbornly oppose Daming. We must resolutely encircle and slaughter them all. In this way, the remaining mountain people, although there are many in number, have become a piece of scattered sand. When they see the ten people they feared in the past The eight villages have been slaughtered by my Ming Dynasty, and they will be afraid. At that time, it is time for us to appease them. We cannot force them to the opposite side of Da Ming, otherwise the mountain people will be beaten more and more, and we will fall into the trap of suppression. Bandits' quagmire."

"Actually, this large-scale war has had very serious consequences for the mountain people. There are a million mountain people, but 30 are in the eighteen villages, and only the eighteen villages have some food.

And brother, the war you launched against the mountain people and the rebels has already affected their spring seeds. It can be said that in autumn, they have nothing to harvest.They can only rely on hunting, but can that sustain the survival of millions of people?
The relationship between Shibazhai and Zhang Daoyuan is intricate and close.But the remaining nearly one million mountain people probably hated Zhang Daoyuan deeply in their hearts, because Zhang Daoyuan brought this disaster to them.

This point can be used even in the process of our attack on the eighteen villages. "

"No weapon!" Hu Zongxian worried: "You massacred the Eighteen Villages, aren't you afraid that the officials of the court will impeach you?"

Luo Xin frowned, then nodded and said: "Those senior officials in the capital, one of the things they preach is enlightenment, especially those officials.

In the history of Ming Dynasty, these officials played a very important role in combating corruption and breaking the law.They were not afraid of power, upheld justice, created a glorious image in the Ming dynasty, and then won the admiration of the Ming court, and finally gained the right to dominate public opinion.

If they are really targeted, it will be really troublesome! "

"Yes! No weapon, you have to be on guard!"

"Then make preparations in advance!"

"What are you preparing for?"

"Prepare to dominate public opinion! Brother, don't worry about these things, you stay and take 1 people outside the mountain forest. Don't look at those mountain people who are in the mountain forest and have a strong fighting power. No comparison to our soldiers."
