Chapter 1083 Three strategies to suppress bandits

Gao Mingheng now wants to accept immigrants from the pass, and he also has to stare at the Rakshasa people in the north, without the energy to deal with the remnants of the rebels.

Changbai Mountain is hundreds of miles in a radius, and there are so many Jurchens in it. The army knows nothing. Moreover, these fishing and hunting nations have too strong customs. Adult men and women will fiddle with bows and arrows. The cost will be huge if they want to completely wipe out.

Gao Mingheng was very happy to see Dorgon willing to go and said seriously: "Zhao Zhongcheng, this task is very arduous, do you have confidence?"

It is a relatively dangerous thing to enter the mountains to eliminate the rebels. It is easy to step on landmines or encounter cold arrows in the mountains and forests.

If Dorgon is willing to go, he may follow in Mandahai's footsteps and die at the hands of the rebels.

"Don't worry, govern the constitution! I will devote all my humble duties and die until I die." Dorgon promised.

This is a crisis and an opportunity for Dorgon. Whether he can get rid of his previous shameful identity and integrate into the empire depends on this time.

"Very good!" Gao Mingheng nodded with satisfaction, "You go to assist Yuan Shizhong. I hope you can annihilate the main force of the rebels as soon as possible, bring Fulin, Bumubutai and Hong Chengchou to justice. In addition, those stubborn people who are unwilling to surrender can be destroyed! Do you understand?"

When it comes to Hong Chengchou and Bumubutai, Dorgon felt a little resentful. He heard that the two came together, which made Dorgon very angry.

The Northeast region is related to the security within the pass, and such a strategic location must be fully controlled by the Ganchao.

Gao Huan meant that the ethnic structure of the Northeast must be changed, the Jurchen tribes must be moved away, and the Han people must be immigrated.

Therefore, Gao Mingheng gave a hint to those who were unwilling to leave.

Dorgon stood at the utmost and saluted, "Please rest assured that the governor will not show mercy in his humble position, and resolutely eliminate the rebels."

Mandahai was beaten to death, which changed Gao Mingheng's mentality and believed that certain tough measures must be taken.

However, killing will inevitably lead to hatred. Unless it can be completely extinct, old accounts may be revealed in the future, and this will inevitably lead to hatred. Therefore, Gao Mingheng sent Dorgon to execute it, so as not to have conflicts in the future and cause separatism among the Jurchens.

After receiving the task, Dorgon immediately stood up and went to Hetuala. He was the governor of Liaoning and had a battalion of tutus in his hand. They were all included in the new Eight Banners and brought them over.

Outside the city of Hetulala, Yuan Shizhong led a group of officers from the Central Army to greet him out of courtesy.

The officers and soldiers of Yuan's army were the Central Army and obeyed the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Although they fought outside the pass, they did not fall under the control of the Liaoning Governor.

Gao Mingheng's letter arrived at Hetuara first and delivered it to Yuan Shizhong. After reading it, he knew that Dorgon was here to do dirty work.

In order to inspire the morale of Dorgon and the New Eight Banners and make them feel that they are doing the right thing, Yuan Shizhong decided to greet Dorgon and his group in person.

"Zhao Zhongcheng, welcome!" Yuan Shizhong stretched out his hand and smiled.

Dorgon quickly stepped forward, shook hands with Yuan Shizhong, and said movedly: "How dare you bother Duke Lao to welcome him!"

Yuan Shizhong smiled and said, "The rebels in Changbai Mountain District are very troubled. Zhao Zhongcheng is familiar with the situation of the rebels. He comes to suppress the bandits. He is like a tiger with wings. It is appropriate to come to greet him!"

Dorgon hurriedly said, "The Duke of the Kingdom is a mistake! When it comes to war, I am not as good as the Duke of the Kingdom!"

Yuan Shizhong felt very comfortable when he heard Dorgon say this, and smiled and said, "Chencheng Zhao comes here, don't know what strategy to suppress the bandits?"

Dorgon said seriously: "I do have a few ideas!"

Yuan Shizhong was quite interested and said, "Oh, I hope to hear it carefully!"

While walking in, Dorgon said, "I thought that to resolve the rebels, three strategies are needed to be carried out in parallel. The first strategy is to trap the enemy, the second strategy is to lure the enemy, and the third strategy is to suppress the enemy!"

Yuan Shizhong had fought guerrilla warfare and instinctively felt that Dorgon had something in his stomach, so he asked, "How to implement these three strategies of Zhao Zhongcheng?"

Dorgon said: "The first strategy to trap the enemy! The big reason why the rebels were able to become bigger and compete with the Ming Dynasty was that the Ming Dynasty's blockade policy failed, which allowed the rebels to obtain materials continuously through Shanxi merchants. Therefore, I thought that to deal with the rebels, the first thing to do was to block the economy and cut off the channels for the rebels to obtain materials!"

Yuan Shizhong agreed with Yu and nodded, "It makes sense! How is Zhao Zhongcheng going to block it?"

"The situation of Hong Zhe and others is much worse than when Nurhaci and Huang Taiji. Back then, the rebels occupied the Chenyang and Liaohe Plain and were able to produce by themselves, and the materials of Shanxi merchants were just a supplement. Now Hong Zhe retreated to the mountainous areas and was completely unable to plant them. It was difficult for them to produce food and materials themselves, and they rely more on the outside world economically. Therefore, as long as we can cut off their supplies of materials, the rebels will be particularly difficult!"

Dorgon paused and continued, "So, I am going to strengthen the blockade of the rebels' activity areas first and formulate harsh laws. Who dares to smuggle the rebels, confiscate the goods, and the master plots to threaten to execute them all! Secondly, send people into the mountains, carry gold and silver to purchase the surplus grain and materials from each ministries at high prices, and persuade them to leave the mountainous areas and come out to accept the reorganization of the court! In this way, the outside materials cannot be entered, the tribes have no surplus grain, and the rebels themselves cannot produce, so they will find it difficult to survive. At this time, they either go out of the hills to plunder, be defeated by our army, or plunder the various ministries, causing the divisions to no longer support them."

After hearing this, Yuan Shizhong thought that this method was more effective than Mandahai's simple counseling and could be said to be a kind of open conspiracy.

The guerrilla areas have fewer supplies, and the rebels are looking for death. They will fight for survival supplies with various troops, which will make them lose the hearts of the people.

"This strategy is feasible!" Yuan Shizhong nodded and asked again: "What is the strategy to lure the enemy!"

Dorgon said: "After the successful strategy of trapping the enemy, the rebels lack materials, conflicts with various tribes, and their activities become difficult, and people will inevitably be shaken. At this time, we can offer extremely high rewards. Among the rebels, there must be many people who cannot endure hardships. If they choose to surrender and do a big move, they can further dismantle the rebels!"

Yuan Shizhong said: "Well! Many of these rebels have experienced my life in the Central Plains. If life in the mountains is too hard, I can't eat enough, I don't wear warm clothes, and I can't see hope, someone may indeed surrender!"

Dorgon smiled and said, "If I add my propaganda, they will know that only by surrendering to the big things is the right way, and the rebels will definitely collapse!"

"What about the strategy to suppress the enemy?" Yuan Shizhong said.

Dorgon said confidently: "The strategy of suppressing the enemy is to completely and resolutely eliminate the tribes that resist the enemy, support and sympathize with the rebels, and fight against the court! After the strategy of trapping the enemy and luring the enemy is successful, the remaining rebels will inevitably be eager to change the situation. At this time, we can set traps, or use the tribes in the mountains to find out the hiding place of the rebels and completely eliminate the rebels!"
