General Long also hated the chieftain's fighting method, but there was nothing he could do about it. General Long and his men had studied it several times and found that there was no solution to this fighting method unless we could fight up the mountain.
, teach them a good lesson, otherwise every time the army is gathered it will be a waste of military expenditures, because in the end there will be no real results. Instead, there will be countless casualties on our side, plus the property losses of the people.
That is a larger number.
General Long already knew this result a few years ago, so since then, General Long has not had large-scale conflicts with these chieftains. In General Long's plan, as long as the immediate peace can be maintained,
This is already a pretty good thing. Once war breaks out, our side will bear the brunt of the losses.
Of course, if peace can always be maintained, it won't matter to everyone. General Long has no intention of really ruling them, but the problem is that these chieftains are restless. There are often dozens or hundreds of people under their command.
gang, then come down from the mountain and rob everything.
Naturally, gold and silver treasures and the like must be robbed first. If the whole family has nothing, they may even drag the entire village up the mountain. Once they reach the mountain, they will become slaves in the village and have to work for them all their lives, and
The days before relief can be said to be very miserable.
There were slaves who escaped from the mountains and went to the local government to complain, but what could the local government do? With just the dozens of government servants under him, what was the use of these people? They weren't just delivering food to others.
People who work.
When one or two prefectures and counties report such a thing, General Long can pretend that he has not heard of it, but dozens of people around him report it. The number of people robbed every year ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands. This is not a small number.
Over time, there were no people in the counties around Tusi, and large areas of fertile farmland were abandoned. If food could be grown, the situation in the three southwestern provinces would be much better than now, and the population would not have increased for many years.
"It's simply unreasonable. This kind of thing could happen before, but it can never happen now. As long as I manage the entire three southwestern provinces, if something like this still happens, it will be a slap in my face. You should take your army and set off immediately.
, stationed in a place where robbery is very easy to occur, if their people dare to come down from the mountain, kill them all."
Rongkang directly issued an order to Lu Linshan. He would never allow such a thing to happen again. If such a thing continued to happen, then what would he do in the three southwestern provinces? If he could not stabilize the local situation, how could he talk about it?
What about economic revitalization? In the past, General Long did not have such ability. That was because General Long was not strong enough. But now that the Suppression Army has taken over the three southwestern provinces, if the local area is still full of blood, then he might as well resign and go home.
"My Lord Governor, your troops still need to protect the safety of Spring City. If your troops leave, there will be only two security groups with less than 5,000 people left around Spring City..."
Lu Linshan said with some worry. The security women under him were very powerful. The most important thing was that they were large in number. They were also the most powerful army in Rongkang's hands. If they left, what would happen to the provincial capital?
Rongkang is very likely to be unable to control the situation. Although a few big heads have been taken away, more than 80 security groups have not yet expressed their submission. This is not a good thing.
"Don't worry. In addition to these more than 80 security groups, more than a hundred security groups have already expressed their allegiance. Each security group only needs to remove a hundred people. In an instant, I can have tens of thousands of people.
When the time comes, let them protect the safety of the provincial capital. Including the two borrowed regiments under my command, I can send them to the front line for you. You have only one task. No matter how arrogant these people are, as long as they dare to go down the mountain
They must be punished for robbery. You don't need to worry about it in the provincial capital."
Rongkang had already thought in his mind that this matter would have to be faced sooner or later, so it would be better to face it earlier. Both sides were unprepared for this matter, but behind Rongkang was the entire Suppression Army, and the assistance he could get
There are also relatively many. The eighteen chieftains on the mountain have had little power since ancient times. Without preparation, our advantage is much greater than theirs.
"Please rest assured, Governor, although my army is not elite, it is still capable of fighting against the armies of these eighteen chieftains. As long as they dare to leave the mountains and forests, they will be nothing but insects in my hands.
, I will never let them escape."
Lu Linshan said with great confidence that this guy has also undergone complete military training, and his soldiers are never idle. If he wants his army to fight up the mountain, it may be a bit difficult, but catching these people at the bottom of the mountain
, he is sure to catch it every time.
"When the time comes, don't just attack blindly, we need to find ways and means. They are the boss on the mountain, and we are the boss when they come down. We must make more and more of them come down, and eliminate their effective strength. In the future, we will definitely kill those who go up the mountain.
Go ahead, the more people you catch, the easier it will be for us to go up the mountain."
Rongkang issued another order, and Lu Linshan finally understood. The mountain is indeed complicated. If we enter the mountain forest, it will be like arriving in their paradise. Even if we are relatively strong, if we enter
Shanlinzi, our losses will definitely not be small. Only by killing a large number of their effective forces at the foot of the mountain, then when we enter Shanlinzi, these people will know who will win in the end?
Lu Linshan also had another expression on his face. He finally knew how to do this. If he followed the previous method and just killed these people at the bottom of the mountain, there would not be much interference on the mountain.
According to the information Lu Linshan knows, most of the people who come down from the mountain to rob are second-tier people. Their status is usually not high. If they live a good life, how can they do such a thing of licking blood with the blade of a knife?
The next time we came down to rob, there was a 20% casualty rate. The people with real fighting ability were all in the mountains. We had to find a way to attract these people. This is what we should do.
