Chapter 110: The Flesh Mill of Huaergou
Chapter 110 Huaergou's Flesh Mill
If you want to say what kind of ecstasy Chen Ying gave to the people of the Western Regions, the answer is actually very simple.
That is the benefit.
The fertile fields have become everyone's private property.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Now Murong Fuyun wants to steal their food and property, it is strange that they don't fight to the death.
"Those who are good at planning will do far, and those who do practical things will succeed!"
Chen Ying, who stood on the shoulders of the historical giant, combines good planning and practical work. When Chen Ying had not yet truly taken office, he was just serving as the Grand Marshal of the West Prefecture Road, and had not become the Great Protector of the Western Regions, he began to plan for the Western Regions.
If there are soldiers but no people, it is not a garrison, but a conscript. Naturally, it is impossible to guard for a long time. If there are Hu and Han in a place, can we not have any other intentions in the long run? The tribe itself must elect heroes as leaders. Even if officials are sent to rule, the sent officials will find it difficult to gain a foothold.
Chen Ying developed the Hexi Corridor in fact, it was actually the weakest link between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. The Hexi Corridor was not hundreds of miles wide, and only ten miles narrowed. Before the Tubo country was eliminated, the Hexi Corridor was easily cut off by the Tubo people. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the four towns of Anxi were destroyed four times and rebuilt four times.
Hexi is a very important link, but due to climate, this link cannot be strengthened at all. There are so many places suitable for humans to live in the entire Hexi area of more than 2,000 miles. The places not suitable for humans to live in are too vast. Once the Tubo people try their best to attack one point, it is easy to interrupt Hexi. These things are linked one after another, but as long as the first link is corrupted, the subsequent chain reaction will come very quickly, and the established foundation may collapse all over the line soon!
Chen Ying took the lead in considering these issues. After more than 300 years of decline in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the court had no time to take care of the Western Regions. Even if the Han people in the Western Regions were not killed, most of them were probably Hu Hua. At this time, even if there were Han people in the Western Regions, the Han people were too weak, which was not conducive to Chen Ying's establishment in the Western Regions. For this reason, he forced the bandits and robbers who had been traversed in the Luliang Mountains for many years to the Western Regions.
Chen Ying always believed in one truth, how can the people be weak and the country is strong? If the whole nation shows up, the strength of the country is actually a sand sculpture built on the beach. It only needs a light touch, and it will collapse. In fact, the country and the people complement each other. The people are strong, and the people are rich, and the people are rich, and the people are rich.
Although more than 50,000 people were migrated in one go, Chen Ying did not send these bandits and robbers to the enemy's sword-cutting people. These bandits in the Luliang Mountains are naturally not the cowards of the Central Plains. These people not only dare to chop with knives, but also have been trained and familiar with the way of fighting formations.
These bandits and robbers came to the Western Regions and were actually labor-service. Some of them had been in five years and some had ten years of great crimes. They worked with villagers, but at night they returned to the labor camp with barbed wire to eat and sleep. Although they could eat enough, no one abused them and could reunite with their families every week, staying there was not a very shameful thing. What they most longed for now is to make merit, then reduce their sentences, and get out of the labor camp as soon as possible to start a new life in the Western Regions with their families.
They were originally suffering from no land, but after they came to the Western Regions, they found that the Western Regions were completely a treasure land. To put it on the exaggeration, even if they put a chopstick on the ground, they would take root and sprout. The key is that the Western Regions are too big. On average, in the Central Plains, only 20 acres of Yongye fields can be divided into 80 acres of land.
This gua-dividing land is not Yongye land, it means that an adult and strong man can only obtain rented seeds between the ages of eighteen and fifty. However, this is not the case in the Western Regions. Chen Ying gave them the policy that as long as the land is cultivated, the official system is responsible for the bookmaking. If you can, it is your own to reclaim 500 acres.
These people who committed crimes were so happy that they were crazy. Although the Western Regions were cold in winter, there were fire walls and kangs, and they could not freeze as long as they did not leave their houses in winter. The key is that this place is the foundation of their life.
However, at this time, because they were criminals, they only had the right to work and fill, but had no right to property. However, Chen Ying's order was very clear that helping the government kill the rebels could not only receive a reward of 100 mu of Yongye land, but also receive a reduction in sentence. One Hu'er's head can be reduced by five years and two ten years.
For ordinary people, killing a Hu man requires great courage. For these bandits and robbers who have been digging for many years, it is simply a pediatric department.
When the chaos started, the robbers and bandits who migrated from the Luliang Mountains were very uncowardly, but were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Although the combat effectiveness of these bandits and bandits is not strong, and even one-on-one, it is far inferior to the Tuyuhun elite, Murong Fuyun feels that it is embarrassing to use Tuyuhun elites to deal with these people. The first ones sent out were only the hostile tribe rebels of Chen Ying's tribes that were dissatisfied with Chen Ying.
These people are actually mobs. In fact, they are half a pound against the mobs. Moreover, these criminals have the advantage of being a good place to borrow from the people of Jinman County, and they have gained a lot of advantages.
When Murong Fuyun realized something was wrong, it was too late for him to send elite troops to the attack. After tasting the taste of victory, these newly migrated people were already crazy. They felt that the Hu people in the Western Regions were nothing great, and they were not even better than the guards of the wealthy families passing by Luliang Mountain.
You should know that when the bandits robbed, most of the guards they encountered were dead soldiers from wealthy families or corpses who were eating the food of the corpses. They were eating this food. If they left their customers and ran away, their reputation would be over. This was a matter of losing their jobs, so they often remained unstoppable in resistance. On the contrary, when fighting against these rebels of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, they were not as good as those dead soldiers or corpses.
After one day of bloody battle, thousands of people died in Jinman County, but nearly two thousand coalition soldiers attacking the villages died. Seeing that it was getting late, Murong Fuyun had no choice but to order the battle to be taken back.
The next day, Murong Fuyun ordered the troops to set off. Of course, this time he decided to use Tuyuhun's elite troops to take the lead and prepare to break through several villages to fight the teeth.
At noon, the scouts sent back one after another, and the villages along the way were empty and there was nothing to grab.
Murong Fuyun was so surprised that his eyebrows stood up. He screamed in dismay: "The town is empty? What's going on?"
The whistle driver didn't know what was going on.
In fact, this is because they received the order of Duan Zhigan, the staying in the Western Regions. After all, Murong Fuyun had 200,000 troops. Even if they were mobs, Murong Fuyun would not care about the troops that were not Tuyuhun Khanate. Even if they were to use their lives to pile up, they could still defeat countless villages.
For the village, once they are surrounded, they will have the only end of the death of humans and the death of the clan. Therefore, Duan Zhixian implemented the policy of retention of people and losing land, allowing the people to retreat.
Murong Shun said gloomyly: "Father Khan, son minister thinks that these people must have fled to Jinman County. Let's go straight to Jinman County and catch them all in one go!"
...
The Tang Army Camp in Huaergou, Jinman County is a steel workshop built by Chen Ying. There is a blast furnace that can produce 200,000 kilograms of steel in one furnace, so Duan Zhigan concentrated most of his troops here. The steel workshop is not a city wall, and it is not even a town, because for the convenience of entering and exit, Chen Ying only asked someone to dig a few trenches, which were considered as fortifications.
However, this kind of fortification is basically of little use.
As the distance between the two armies continued to narrow, the distance between the two armies was so small that the scouts could not avoid the other scouts.
When Tuyuhun appeared on the northeast horizon, Duan Zhigan no longer sent scouts to the opposite side, but ordered the scouts to expand to the two wings and closely monitor the enemies from the two wings.
The commander of the Modao Army, Zhe Chong, looked at the sparse Tuyuhun army and smiled: "General Duan, you don't have to worry about it. Just send our Modao Army to fight. The last general dares to protect the heads. As long as the Modao Army fights, you can kill these mobs in half an hour!"
Duan Zhigan smiled coldly: "It is precisely because the enemy is a mob, it is even harder to deal with!"
Zhang Huaiwei also felt that Duan Zhigan was not absurd, so he asked: "Why is it more difficult to deal with the chaotic crowd?"
Duan Zhigan said: "There are too many uncertain factors, so it is even more difficult to deal with!"
Zhang Huaiwei said he could not understand.
If Chen Ying was here, he could definitely understand Duan Zhigan's concerns. In later countries, during the civil war of the Communist Party, two million countries were destroyed in just over a year of great counterattack. However, the scattered countries transformed into bandits, or they themselves were bandits, entrenched in the villages and resisted land reform. It was not until fifteen years after the founding of the country that the last remaining bandits of the national army were eliminated.
It is not difficult to defeat Murong Fuyun, and even without Chen Ying's support, Duan Zhigan was confident that he would defeat Murong Fuyun with the 30,000 elite troops of Hebei New Army and Modao Army.
But the key is that it is easy to defeat Murong Fuyun, but if you want to eliminate Murong Fuyun and the entire army, it will definitely be difficult to do without enough troops, especially the cavalry.
After strategic contraction, Jinman County, a county with an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, was divided into three parts: Huaergou Daying, Jinman County and Wucai City, respectively, with three people defending Duan Zhiyan, Zhang Huaiwei and Qin.
When Zhang Huaiwei and Qin Yong were about to part, Duan Zhigan said earnestly: "General Zhang, General Qin, please be careful and don't beat him too hard. If you scare Murong Fuyun away before Chen Daduo's leadership arrived, then you can explain to Daduo's Protector yourself!"
The young general Qin scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "General Duan, you said, how can I fight in Wucai City?"
Duan Zhigan said: "It's very simple. First of all, you must not beat too hard, nor can you stop hitting. Murong Fuyun must see the hope of breaking the city, and they must never give up!"
Although Duan Zhigan said it easily, it was absolutely not easy to do it.
When Murong Fuyun looked at the simple Huaergou camp, his eyes flashed with green light: "See, there is the steel workshop built by Chen Ying. A blast furnace that can produce 200,000 kilograms of steel is there!"
Murong Shun said excitedly: "Father Khan, my son asked for a fight!"
Murong Fuyun shook his head and said, "This blast furnace will definitely be very important to Chen Ying, so he must have many troops left behind, and it is not that easy to chew!"
The key point is that even if Murong Fuyun doesn’t say it, everyone will understand.
Nilo Zhou knew Murong Fuyun very well. Murong Fuyun was particularly thief in war. When he rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, he used the Qiang tribe of the Tuyuhun Khanate as bait to attract the attention of the Sui army.
Although he was defeated by the Sui Dynasty army and was in a mess. In fact, Yuwen Shu had more than 30,000 achievements in beheading at that time, and almost 70% of his military achievements were either Qiang people or Tubo people. The elite troops of Tuyuhun tribe suffered extremely limited losses.
Murong Shun smiled and said, "I'll call Qu Wentai!"
Murong Fuyun nodded with satisfaction as he watched his son become so successful.
I don’t know how Murong Shun fooled him, but Qu Wentai soon led his mobs to launch an attack on the Huaergou camp.
Qu Wentai sent not many troops, about a thousand men, but rushed more than 500 steps away, separated from each other, and the two teams of cavalry were running out to both sides, probably also investigating the terrain and checking whether there were ambushes here.
However, Qu Wentai's concerns were obviously redundant, and there was no ambush around him after seeing them.
Qu Wentai gave the order.
No one had any more than 10,000 rebels from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions and launched a strong attack on the Huaergou Camp.
Looking at the mob that was attacking.
Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "Shun'er, how did you do it?"
Murong Shun said proudly: "My son only told Qu Wentai that although he is the prince of Gaochang, it is not that easy to become the next Gaochang King. To become Gaochang King, relying on one position alone is far from enough. You must have a meritorious contribution. Now that the main force of the Tang army is outside, Huaergou is weak, where is there a better opportunity?"
Murong Fuyun laughed when he heard this.
Murong Fuyun absolutely does not believe that Qu Wentai can capture Huaergou Camp. Not to mention ten thousand people, even if Qu Wentai is suppressed, he will not be able to do it!
Sure enough, it didn't seem Murong Fuyun's expectations.
Just when a thin Hu man in the Western Region was carrying a sandbag to fill the trench, a crossbow arrow pierced through his head. The man's body was tilted and was hit hard by the sandbag, and he didn't say a word until his death.
Such a scene is very ordinary, and there are always such scenes in front of Huaergou Camp.
From the trench at the outermost edge of Huaergou, to the first low wall in the open space of a hundred steps, countless corpses were pounced on.
At this moment, Huaergou has become a flesh-and-blood mill, devouring fresh life all the time.
However, Qu Wentai didn't care.
