Chapter 106 Repression
After Xiao Tianjian learned the news of Suizhou Luo Li's occupation, he carefully understood Xu Shichun's character, so he immediately sent an order to Luo Li and continued to keep Xu Shichun as Suizhou Zhizhou, treat Xu Shichun well, give him the best care, let him recover from his injury as soon as possible, and his family will also be protected and properly placed. In a word, although Xu Shichun led the soldiers to carry the Xing Tianjun, at least he is doing his best, and this person is an honest official. In order not to lose the hearts of the people, Xing Tianjun should protect such a clean official as much as possible.
After Luo Li received Xiao Tianjian's instructions, he immediately followed, continued to keep Xu Shichun as the Zhizhou of Suizhou, and dispatched the best medical officer to treat his injuries. At the same time, he ordered the Xing Tianjun not to kill a good people indiscriminately in the area of Suizhou, and tried his best not to disturb the people. In this way, Xu Shichun had already made up his mind. He wanted to die, and he strictly refused Luo Li's persuasion to surrender and wanted to be loyal to the court, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, the people of Xing Tianjun not only did not kill him, but also retained him to continue to be the Zhizhou of Suizhou. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he also heard what Xing Tianjun did to the people in the area of Suizhou, and finally lamented. I can agree.
After Luo Li conquered Suizhou, the front of Xing Tianjun had basically pointed to Wuchang. However, because Xiao Tianjian's main force had not yet defeated Jingzhou, Luo Li did not immediately march to Wuchang alone, but began to rest in Suizhou. At the same time, he constantly took Suizhou as the center, divided his troops to the surrounding counties and cities, and at the same time sent A soldier and horse are sent out to Gwangju. At present, all parts of Henan have been basically controlled by Xing Tianjun, and only the southernmost part of Henan is Gwangju, which is still under the control of the government. There are thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in Gwangju, as if they had nailed a nail in the stomach of the Xing Tianjun. From time to time, they will attack the hinterland of Henan, which has become For the sake of Xing Tianjun's confidants.
Originally, if Xiao Tianjian did not send a large army south to attack Huguang this time, it would be easy to pull out this nail with the strength of Xing Tianjun. However, considering the importance of Xiangyang, Xiao Tianjian finally suspended the use of troops against Gwangju. Now after Luo Li took Suizhou, he has freed his hands to deal with the nail of Gwangju. .
Luo Li was ordered to lead 5,000 people and went straight to Gwangju. At this time, Liu Bao, who was sitting in Henan, also sent his deputy capital Tang Jian to start from Runing Mansion, attacked Guangzhou, and cooperated with Luo Li to use troops against Gwangju.
After Xiao Tianjian went south, Henan is actually not too clean. After all, the number of Xing Tianjun left in Henan is not large, and only Liu Bao's fourth division is in town. Although the fourth division has been expanded into a town, because the criminal army can't afford to raise more soldiers, the number of soldiers is controlled at more than 20,000, and more than 20,000. People are responsible for such a large territory in Henan. After scattering it, there are no soldiers left in a state capital or county.
Therefore, after Liu Bao took over the matter of sitting in Henan, he divided his soldiers and horses into Shanzhou, Weihuifu, Kaifengfu, Nanyangfu and Guidefu. The rest of the prefectures and counties only left one or two reserve battalions to guard. Based on these points, he was responsible for supporting all places, so as much as possible. The good news is that although there are not many regular soldiers, there are many reserve camps in various places. After rough statistics, the number of reserve battalions in Henan has reached more than 70,000 people. Most of these people are composed of elite villagers in various places. Under the order of Xiao Tianjian, each reserve battalion has more than 100 permanent reserves. In fact, the main soldier is also the backbone of each reserve battalion. Usually, he is not only responsible for the local anti-piracy, but also responsible for taking a few days a month to drill the reserve battalion soldiers. Once there is a war, the reserve soldiers of the reserve battalion will be concentrated into an army. The combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the war camp, but it cannot be ignored.
Although Xing Tianjun basically controls the whole of Henan, and the civil and military officials stationed in Xing Tianjun have been stationed in various places to preside over local affairs and military affairs, after all, they have not been standing for a long time. Although ordinary people are very loyal to Xing Tianjun, there are still some early gentry who hate it. Xing Tianjun, after Xiao Tianjian led the main force south to Huguang, these gentry who fortunately left their lives everywhere saw the emptiness of Xing Tianjun's strength, so they began to be ready to move. Seeing that a large number of land that originally belonged to their family was divided into ordinary people by Xing Tianjun, they were really unwilling, so they were very happy. A group of fellow clans or old officials gathered in various places to try to fight back against the Xing Tianjun in Henan. From time to time, they attacked the military stations of the Xing Tianjun in various places, as well as village castles where ordinary people gathered, and even gathered more people to attack the county.
Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian led the main force to go south, Liu Bao, who stayed in Henan, was also under great pressure. It can be said that the gourd floated up everywhere. The counterattack forces in various places can be said to be endless, which really gives Liu Bao a headache. Liu Bao, who is in Luoyang every day, has to keep dealing with this kind of thing. Mobilied troops to suppress all parts of Henan.
Now in Henan, people who are loyal to the current court have become the object of suppressation, and the actions of these gentry are undoubtedly a great obstacle to the recovery of Henan's productive economy.
For this reason, although Xiao Tianjian led his troops south, he often had to stare at Henan with one eye open. When he learned that there were more and more such counterattack forces in the central and eastern regions of Henan, Xiao Tianjian had to give orders to Liu Bao to carry out a three-month crackdown in various parts of Henan.
Take advantage of this agricultural leisure time before the summer harvest to concentrate the reserve battalions from all over the country to thoroughly suppress these counterattack forces in various parts of Henan.
Therefore, after April, a large-scale clean-up operation was launched throughout Henan, and the reserve battalions were basically summoned. On a large scale, they began to use these forces against the Xingtian Army in Henan. For a while, there was continuous smoke all over Henan. By the end of June, Henan This kind of resistance against the Xing Tianjun in various places was basically suppressed. In more than two months, according to the statistics of officials from all over Henan, at least hundreds of powerful gentry and old officials of the government had been suppressed. For a time, people killed in Henan were rolling, at least more than 20,000 to 30,000. Within these two months, the head was cut down by the Xingtian soldiers from all over the country. In this way, the situation in Henan gradually settled down.
Xiao Tianjian has no choice but to do such a thing. After all, their Xing Tianjun's rebellion has touched the vital interests of a considerable number of landlords. Seeing that their land and property are seized by Xing Tianjun and redistributed to those people who have lost their land, these vested interests will certainly be very unhappy. It is impossible not to resist. I'm afraid that this kind of thing will exist for a long time in the area controlled by the Xingtian Army in the future. Therefore, you can't tolerate this kind of person by using heavy code in troubled times. When it's time to kill, you can't be soft. Now Xiao Tianjian has completely understood what the words said by the ancients, and it will be successful. Killing one person is a crime, killing 100,000 people and millions of people is the meaning of a hero.
Just as Liu Bao was commanding all parts of Henan to suppress the resistance forces, the court also made a new response to the Xing Tianjun. After all, the court is still very powerful at present. Although the officers and soldiers in various places are unbearable, the number is still many times more than the Xing Tianjun, and the wealth At present, Xing Tianjun only controls a province in Henan, the southwestern part of Shanxi and the northern part of Hunan and Guangxi. In terms of financial resources, it is still unable to compare with the imperial court. Therefore, after May, Chongzhen ordered the new governor Sun Chuanting to supervise the officers and troops from Hebei, Shandong and other places to enter Henan to suppress the Xing Tianjun.
Although Sun Chuanting has not been appointed as the new governor for a long time, and he does not have many decent soldiers, because the emperor Zhu Youjian is really pressing, he has to lead thousands of new recruits to go south to Guangping Prefecture, mobilized officers and soldiers from Funan and all over Shandong, and began to use soldiers against Xingtian.
Liu Bao's pressure suddenly increased so much that he had to leave Luoyang and rushed to Weihui Mansion to resist Sun Chuanting's offensive against Wei Hui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion. At the end of June, Sun Chuanting mobilized nearly 50,000 officers and marched to Zhangde Mansion and Dingtao in two directions, respectively, against Wei Hui Mansion, Kaifeng and Guide Mansion respectively. It has become an offensive situation.
Correspondingly, Liu Bao also gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and stationed separately in Weihuifu and Kaifengfu. At the same time, there were 3,000 soldiers in Guidefu, and more than 10,000 people were mobilized in reserve battalions from all over the country, ready to welcome Sun Chuanting's attack.
