Wanli 1592

Chapter 1332
After a chaotic battle, each of the three parties suffered losses.

But generally speaking, the Song family, who inherited most of the interests of the Yang family, has the upper hand.

Afterwards, people from the An family falsely accused the Song family of rebellion against the Qin army, and the Qin army immediately sent troops to conquer the Song family "indiscriminately".

A part of the Southwest Corps stationed there launched a crusade. The Song family was intimidated by the prestige of the Qin army and did not dare to fight. They were defeated at the first touch, and the army was defeated. The Song family quickly sent people with a large number of rare treasures to beg for mercy from the Qin army coach Zheng Ying , Zheng Ying accepted Song's begging for mercy and retreated directly.

The Song family was annoyed by An's framing, and immediately sent troops to fight against An's. The bloody battle between the two sides could not tell the winner, and the battle situation became more rigid. Jiangxi, Guizhou, including a part of Sichuan, were fighting again and again, which aroused Xiao Ruxun's "great anger", Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the southwestern provinces to "quiet the matter."

Taking this as an opportunity, the turmoil in several southwestern provinces gradually ended, and after being affected by this turmoil, the strength of the chieftains was hit, and many suffered heavy losses.

And just when things were about to calm down, An Jiangchen, the patriarch of the An family, was assassinated. The An family lost the patriarch and fell into chaos. , the situation continued to be chaotic.

The turmoil lasted until the autumn harvest in September of the third year of Longwu. Xiao Ruxun issued an imperial decree to reprimand the governors of several southwestern provinces for their ineffectiveness. He was also "furious" when he learned that An Jiangchen had died in an assassination, and ordered the army to calm down the situation forcibly. In a turmoil, those who dare to resist will be wiped out immediately.

In mid-October of the third year of Longwu, the turmoil subsided. After this five-month turmoil, the strength of the chieftains was severely impacted. Enter the four southwestern provinces.

The land reform operation started, and the chieftain ministries that were hit had their control over their respective regions greatly weakened, and they were overturned before they even reacted.

This land reform operation has been planned for a long time, starting from November of the third year of Longwu and continuing until May of the fourth year of Longwu.

The large-scale and intensive land reform that lasted for six months has set off an all-round turmoil that has never been seen since ancient times.

The Southwest Corps and the government of several southwestern provinces have withstood a very severe test, because the counterattack of the desperate chieftains is quite powerful.

The Southwest Corps lost nearly a thousand soldiers for this, and three county magistrates died because of this. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun even more blatantly defined this operation as a campaign to counter the rebellion in the Southwest, the fourth major expedition after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

During this land reform operation, the chieftain system that lasted from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present was completely terminated.

Xiao Ruxun declared the end of the chieftain system on the grounds of the chieftain's rebellion, forcibly extended the model of imperial power to the countryside to the southwestern borderlands, wiped out the chieftain power in the borderlands, and completely tore them apart.

After this movement, the Xiao Qin regime took complete control of the Southwest, an area long neglected by the central governments of all dynasties, and established states, counties and townships to directly govern it, which greatly liberated local productivity.

At the same time, taking this opportunity, Xiao Ruxun began to implement the immigration policy, recruiting Han people in the northern region who were willing to go south, and the preferential policy of exchanging one mu of land for two mu of land called on the Han people to go south to open up the southwest.

For decades, the Qin government organized a Southwest Movement of more than 300 million people.

After the complete liberation of Guangdong and Guangxi, more than [-] Han people were enriched in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the population of Jiangbei was transferred to the south by more than [-] million to open up the southwest and southeast islands, laying a solid foundation for the coming decades. Prepared for the harshest of the Little Ice Ages.

And this move also completely eliminated the worries for Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition plan, and the entire south became the rear base of the Great Qin Northern Expedition.

Including Nanyang, Xiao Ruxun was also completely surrendered. After sweeping away the local chieftains and clan forces, the agricultural development and development in these areas went very smoothly.

During this period, the locust plague and schistosomiasis in Daqin were contained to a certain extent. Xu Guangqi's campaign of raising ducks to control locusts and Fang Congzhe's campaign to eradicate snails reduced the threat of locust plague and schistosomiasis to a certain extent.

These two major threats have been brought under control, and with a proper governance strategy, it also provides stability for Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition.

In the third year of Longwu and the fourth year of Longwu, key constructions were carried out at the Guanzhong logistics base and the forward base in Gansu. Zhao Hu's Northwest Corps and the Guanzhong Corps managed by Liu Ting were all in place, and specific training and simulation exercises began. Prepare for Longwu's seven-year Northern Expedition plan.

At the end of the fourth year of Longwu, there was a heavy snowstorm on the grassland. Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the Northwest Corps and Guanzhong Corps to prepare, and what happened afterwards was not unexpected.

The Gansu area was attacked by northern captives that had not been encountered in several years.

But this time, Qin Jun had already made complete preparations in advance.

The result of the battle was that a tribe of more than [-] people was directly eaten by Zhao Hu with his troops, and he also chased it to the surrounding area. After finding a large tribe trying to go south, he launched an attack without saying a word.

This grassland operation lasted for half a month, and the Northwest Corps won a complete victory, annihilating more than [-] northern captives, capturing more than [-] men and women, and more than [-] cattle, sheep and horses.

All these captured people were thrown into the mainland of Daqin as hard labor to serve the construction of various parts of Daqin, and finally all died on the construction site.

This incident of Beilu’s captivity brought Daqin not only a signal to be wary of Beilu’s comeback, but also a happy event. The Northwest Corps achieved unprecedented success in combat and wiped out several tribes of Beilu at a very small cost. Kong's complete victory is enough to show that Qin's training and preparations are effective.

The arrival of this war gave an example of the Qin Army's Northern Expedition, allowing Xiao Ruxun to understand the current comparison of the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army and the northern captives on the grassland.

Taking this snowstorm on the prairie as an opportunity, the northern barbarian border that had been silent for several years occurred again intensively, and the entire Great Wall was once again attacked by a large number of northern barbarians. This once again proved that Xiao Ruxun's judgment several years ago was correct. At the moment of life and death, even if they knew they must die, the northern captives would still come to plunder.

Because they have to eat.

But this time, Qin Jun's decisive and sharp counterattack made them suffer a lot. Not only did many tribes not loot any supplies, but they were eaten by Qin Jun's dumplings.

After careful training, the Qin army not only established military exploits, but also gained combat experience, and the recruits were also honed on the battlefield.

And more importantly, the Qin army re-established its psychological advantage in fighting the northern captives.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have fought Jurchen, Japan, and Yang Yinglong, but they have never fought against the northern captives directly. They have experienced passive defense during the Ming Dynasty, and the Qin army has not yet established a psychological advantage over the northern captives.

But this time, the Qin army wiped out a very large number of northern captives with extremely low losses, and the psychological advantage produced by this is very obvious.

Xiao Ruxun immediately manipulated the public opinion organs and began to speak out to the whole country, preaching one victory after another against the northern captives, which established the psychological advantages and confidence for the people of Daqin to face the northern captives, and swept away the northern captives since the end of the Ming Dynasty. Side is equal to the decadent breath of death.

The momentum of the whole country is working hard.

Since then, the last political force in the court who had doubts about the Northern Expedition disappeared, and no one had any doubts about the all-out war that Xiao Ruxun was preparing to wage.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Longwu, in the Northeast region, under the instigation of Blackwater spies, the Horqin and Chahar tribes clashed, and the two sides fought a fierce war. Through their war, Xiao Ruxun instructed the Liaodong Corps to start cleaning up the Jurchen forces.

After the cleaning of the mature girls, the cleaning of the raw girls began. The territory of the Northeast needs to be expanded, and the fertile black land of Baishan Heishui should be fully occupied.

Prior to the start of the full-scale Northern Expedition, the expansion of Liaodong began unhurriedly. This operation did not look like a war, because the intensity was low, and Shengnvzhen did not have a unified command, and it was very scattered. Develop east to north.

Xiao Ruxun said——Your goal is the shore of the ocean, and seeing the ocean proves that your development has succeeded.
