151 Sweeping Guanzhong Earth (1)
One month after the Shaanxi army was taken away by Tong Guan, Baixiao became vivid.
This month, he has been making arrangements. First, it is around and then spread outward. His first goal is the entire Guanzhong land.
In order to win Guanzhong in one fell swoop, Bai Xiaosheng thought of many ideas, such as letting his people enter the surrounding Guanfang Town early, or using the name of a merchant to dig a tunnel for the army to attack.
Originally, Guanzhong now has few large troops. Except for some important places, such as the Four Passes, most of the towns defended by auxiliary soldiers, which are vulnerable at all. Just to prevent them, Bai Xiaosheng has been preparing for a month. Not only did he prepare for how to break those defenses, but he also arranged a lot of strength in important places to prevent Song Ting from getting news when he moved.
He wants to enter the village quietly, and don’t want to shoot.
The majestic Hangu Pass, which is located in the west of the plateau, Juejian in the east, Qinling in the south, and Yellow River in the north, is one of the earliest fortresses built in Chinese history. If Bai Xiaosheng wants to occupy the land of Guanzhong, he must close the gate of Hangu Pass.
And he did the same.
A month later, Bai Xiaosheng led a thousand soldiers and three hundred heroes of the Ming Cult to move up and arrived outside Hangu Pass. Standing in a hidden place, Bai Xiaosheng contacted the Ming Cult to send white-faced husband Guo Ziyu quietly looking at passers-by inside and outside the pass.
"There are not many people closing down, and we can easily occupy this place with our ability. Just so guard against the leak of news, have you thought of it?" Guo Ziyu asked Bai Xiaosheng.
He smiled slightly, did not answer his question, but pointed to the back. Guo Ziyu looked curiously and found a man standing here wearing Song Dynasty armor. He was a little confused, why are there Song Dynasty officials here?
"The guards of Hashigu Pass of the Himashima Hangu Pass have met two adults."
"The General of Hangu Pass?" Guo Ziyu was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "You are disguising."
"Not bad!" Bai Xiaosheng nodded and smiled, "It's the disguise technique. Although this is just a small path, it's just a use. With the power of you and me, you can easily enter Hangu Pass. As long as you take down the guard and let this person replace him, nothing will be wrong."
Guo Ziyu frowned and thought, and nodded slowly. This is a good idea. Although there are many flaws, it can delay a lot of time at this critical moment. What they need is time.
At night, Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Ziyu sneaked into the city with the pretended guardian. With Bai Xiaosheng's ability, they naturally easily solved the guardian. Since then, his man has become the guardian of Hangu Pass.
On the second day, Bai Xiaosheng and the people from the Ming Cult began to scatter into the city, slowly entered the guards, secretly dealing with the people he was familiar with, replacing them with this group of people, and guarding various important roads so that people can enter but not leave.
When Bai Xiaosheng was guarding Hangu Pass, the Management Committee also began its own actions. There, Bai Xiaosheng had already left a plan to let them act according to the plan. These people could not fight alone on a large scale like modern generals, but with Bai Xiaosheng's plan, they no longer had to waste brain cells like that, they just needed to follow the steps and slowly spread it out.
In the face of absolute strength, Song Ting's resistance is just a paper tiger.
The first step was that the Huashan forces captured several counties around the six counties, and everything was unaware of it. In just one night, these few places of view changed their masters. The knights and bandits who had once performed the way for heaven became the new masters of the county town. Ordinary people were very welcome to this, but the powerful local tyrants were all as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed flies. Some of the bold ones even stood up to resist, but they were put out again in the blink of an eye, and the ended without a reaction.
Just as Bai Xiaosheng said, under the martial arts army he trained, the soldiers of these people were simply paper-made and vulnerable!
Bai Xiaosheng had already expected these resistances. It was he who expected that he had formulated a detailed plan. As his plan wrote: There must be those who resist when the army enters the city. Most of these people are rich. If they kill them, they can occupy their land, recruit troops with their wealth, and support their troops with their wealth, and can quickly strengthen their troops.
In addition to these rebels, some bullies with great public anger and landlords were also executed, and their wealth fell into the hands of the Huashan forces, becoming the source of wealth for them to expand and raise their army.
Under the stimulation of the land, many young people signed up for the military, for the sake of the land that can always be in hand. You are not an ancient person and you can never imagine their persistence in the land. Bai Xiaosheng took this temptation to expand the military, which was the most suitable one.
In just ten days, the Huashan army with less than 10,000 people skyrocketed to 30,000. This was the reason why Bai Xiaosheng deliberately controlled it. He listed some people who did not accept them, specifically selecting young and strong people who were dispersed and integrated into the army.
Here we have to mention Bai Xiaosheng's military plan. He trained his army according to the modern army model, just like his elite Huashan regiment, with 3,000 people, which is a complete regiment, but the structures inside are all large, and one regiment is trained as two or three regiments. This is prepared for the expansion of the army. At this time, when the number is too large, each regiment will be dismantled and nearly half of the newcomers will not reduce the combat power of the army too much. You can also look at the newcomers well to avoid some military law incompatible situations.
It was precisely his carefulness and advance arrangement that although the army expanded to 30,000, it was still not messy and developed in an orderly manner.
Half a month later, Bai Xiaosheng's army captured Weinan and east of Hangu Pass, completely splitting the connection between Song Ting and Guanzhong. Just to not stimulate Song Ting, he did not have any publicity, but just developed silently. The outside was cut off because Hangu Pass was cut off, and I don't know what happened here.
In the past half month, the land of Guanzhong has been full of blood! Although Bai Xiaosheng never said anything about fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land, what he did was to eliminate the local tyrants and divide the land of the people.
With this step, it is difficult for the people not to support him.
Of course, in their controlled areas, it is not that there are no landlords, but that these existing landlords have no reputation. Their land is not plundered, but that they have accumulated enough to buy through the efforts of generations.
Bai Xiaosheng did not touch them, and even had no requirement to reduce the land rent. But no one was fool. Bai Xiaosheng's army killed like this, and the new land was either distributed to the people in the army or rented to tenants. Some shrewd and afraid of death immediately knew the plan of these people, so they began to reduce the land rent one by one to avoid causing disasters of extermination.
Of course, there are also many landlords who never let go. Bai Xiaosheng never used force to these people. He just asked people to hook up with tenants, rented them cheap land, and even organized people to open up land and distributed the land obtained from the land to them.
This move can be said to have cut off the fire from the cauldron, making the landlords helpless.
At this time, it was not like later generations, where there was no land. Here, there were many barren lands, and it was not uncommon to organize people to open up land. Those landlords had more land, and most of them were built up.
Now that Bai Xiaosheng has used this skill to hook up all the tenants, what should he do with their land?
Some people who can't twist their legs at the sight of their arms surrendering, and some people still insisted on it. But Bai Xiaosheng no longer cared about them. He had sent people to organize farmers to plant a large scale, while choosing the cultivated talents among farmers, teaching them knowledge, and let them organize farmers to fight against injustice.
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng did not have so many talents, so he could only develop slowly. But this was already amazing in ancient times.
Just when Bai Xiaosheng was developing happily, news came from Jiangnan that Fang La's general, the right envoy of Guangming Fang Qifo, captured Chongde County, and surrounded Xiuzhou, northeast of Hangzhou, and divided his troops into Huzhou, with an unstoppable momentum. But not long after Guo Ziyu was happy, information about Fang Qifo retreating to Hangzhou was heard, which made him feel depressed. Two days later, the news that Fang La successively captured the two prefectures of Zhejiang made him very happy.
Looking at the news, Guo Ziyu asked Bai Xiaosheng again and again to speed up his advance, occupy the entire Guanzhong as soon as possible, and rush his army to the east, attack Henan, and threaten Kaifeng.
But Bai Xiaosheng did not take over his troubles and continued to develop his own power in an orderly manner.
His power has developed stably and there are quite a few people, but it is absolutely impossible to say that there are many. In other words, Bai Xiaosheng, if it were someone else, he would have been in trouble. Now in this situation, he cannot be anxious.
In his development plan, it was to occupy one place and kill one place, consolidate one place. He did not seek speed, but only seek stability and hiddenness. With these two moves, he has not been discovered by Song Ting until now, and no outsiders know that someone has rebelled in Guanzhong.
But even so, Bai Xiaosheng still felt the shortcomings of his subordinates. He had no shortage of military personnel and had his training. More than 7,000 people could be officers who dared to fight and rush. Even if they had no artistic talent in command, they would also make a smooth progress under the supervision and command of the Staff Management Committee. There would be no problem in the short term.
What about civil servants?
In recent years, although he has also taught everyone to learn to read and cultivated their basic knowledge, can he manage a county well with these?
Not to mention those soldiers, even those guys who entered the county town early are not qualified officials now!
"Does the literati still have to be used?" Bai Xiaosheng was very unhappy. In the short time, he arrested many literati. In the Song Dynasty, although literati were greedy, they were not afraid of death and dared to scold people.
These days, Bai Xiaosheng has been scolded by them for being completely useless. In order not to let these people make trouble, Bai Xiaosheng is also direct enough - he sent troops to invite him to come over and imprison him one by one, so as to avoid any trouble they can make.
Now that Bai Xiaosheng is really unhappy to use these people again.
