Dai Yaoqing's information was placed on the desk of No.15 Division that night.

Fang Fangyuan, director of the Guangxi Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, rushed over from Liuzhou Mansion, and while cooperating with the No.15 Division, he reported the battle situation of the First Division.

"The Dai family is a wealthy local family in Guangyuan, Sichuan. Their ancestors have been doing business for a living. The Fuyao Group's local glass business is represented by his younger brother Dai Yaoming. When the Remnant Dynasty was established, we conducted a thorough investigation of all officials. Screening. Dai Yaoqing belongs to the category that is friendly to the empire, and this piece of information is very credible."

With the help of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Yan Hongshan became more confident.

"Don't move this dark chess for now. After all, the situation in the mountains is complicated, and the situation will not be clear for a while. Our top priority is to cooperate with the government to complete the land reform. As long as the plains under the mountains are firmly controlled, the people in the mountains will not be able to survive. how long."

There is no flat land in the mountains near Datang Gorge, and the soil is poor, which is not suitable for growing crops at all.Without supplies outside the mountains, it would be difficult for people in the mountains to survive.

Time is on the side of the empire, and Yan Hongshan can afford it.

After discussion, the No. 15 Division and the 14th, 16th, and 18th Divisions of Public Security who came later dispersed in all directions, seizing Guixian County, Wuxuan County, Xiangzhou, Lipu, Yongan Prefecture and other places, and completely wiped out the land of the Datang Gorge. The nearby mountains were completely cordoned off.

At the same time, with the strong military support of the National Defense Forces, the newly formed government began to forcibly confiscate the land and property that originally belonged to chieftains, landlords, and scholars, and distributed them to ordinary people.

This kind of distribution, regardless of Han, Zhuang or Yao, can enjoy it as long as they accept government registration.

News from down the mountain came from time to time, making the chieftains trapped in the mountain more restless.

The wealth they have accumulated for generations is all cheap, how can they bear it?

Sensing everyone's eagerness to move, Lin Dansan couldn't forcefully suppress it.And he also had a premonition that if the situation continued like this, they might be the first to be unable to hold on.

"The National Defense Force spreads its forces everywhere, breaking the taboo of military strategists. Guixian County in the south has only [-] soldiers and horses. If we take the opportunity to attack at night, we will surely win a battle and break the siege of the National Defense Forces."

All the chieftains have no idea, and of course they are happy if someone takes the lead.

So under the leadership of Lin Dansan, the chieftains gathered more than 7000 wolf soldiers and moved towards Guixian overnight.

On the way, their traces were discovered by the special forces, and they were quickly passed back.

Stationed in Guixian County is Pan Changsuo, the military and political officer of the No.15 Division.

When the military news came, all the generals were enthusiastic and ready to show their talents.

Pan Changsuo has a different view.

"These days, the land reform has not gone smoothly. There are both ethnic differences and language differences. All in all, the local people are still afraid of those chieftains, and their relationship is closer than ours. If we don’t change this situation, we won’t be able to gain the support of the people, and we won’t be able to achieve our goal of dividing them.”

"Junzheng, do you have any good ideas?"

Pan Changsuo knew that his method was cruel, but for the sake of the overall situation, it was not impossible for him to do it.

"The order was passed on, Watangdu discovered the enemy's situation, and the whole army was dispatched to suppress the bandits."

Everyone was shocked by this decision.

"Military and political affairs, if we leave, your county will be defenseless."

Pan Changsuo's face was stern.

"Isn't that just right? Give the stage to those chieftains. Don't let them lose the hearts of the people, where is our chance?"

Everyone understands.

The policy implemented by the empire is unique for thousands of years, and it belongs to the radical change of social form.Many people find it difficult to adapt to this change, which leads to resistance.

In particular, Guangxi is located in the southwest, very far away from the core area of ​​the empire, and the people here know very little about the empire.

Coupled with the continuing ethnic conflicts, the Zhuang and Yao people, who account for a larger population here, are full of distrust of the empire.

Under such circumstances, finding a way to make class conflicts override national conflicts is the key to the empire winning the hearts of the people.

Now the chieftains are all trapped on the mountain, completely ignorant of the situation down the mountain.

Based on the limited information they know, it must be believed that the ordinary people at the bottom of the mountain have robbed their land and property.

This will inevitably arouse the chieftain's murderous intentions, and sacrifice the butcher's knife to the people.

However, under such killings, more people will surely see the true colors of the chieftains, and then they will renounce their virtues and choose to vote for the empire.

It can be said that Pan Changsuo's strategy is tantamount to sacrificing Guixian County, but what he got in exchange is likely to be the overall situation of the entire Southwest.

Pan Changsuo is not a kind person, and he can make up his mind when he should be cold-blooded.

After all, although Zuo Menggeng has been using the values ​​of later generations to teach the officials and generals of the empire, but they still have traces of this era.

But at this time, Pan Changsuo's approach is very in line with the reality of Guangxi.

If Zuo Menggeng knew, it would be hard to say anything.

In the evening of the same day, Pan Changsuo led the National Defense Forces to leave Guixian County in the name of suppressing bandits.The huge city was completely left to the chieftain wolf soldiers who rushed over at a high speed.

In the middle of the night, the wolf soldiers rushed into the county town viciously, but no National Defense Forces were found.

And those chieftains who suffered heavy losses pointed their butcher knives at innocent people without any surprise.

That night, Guixian County was completely transformed into a hell on earth, bloody and bloody, and the city burned.

The news spread quickly, and people everywhere were terrified.

Since those chieftains were able to slaughter Guixian, it is natural that they could be treated in the same way.

And looking around, the only thing that can protect the safety of the people is the National Defense Forces.

At a speed almost visible to the naked eye, the positions of the people changed rapidly, and they completely threw themselves into the embrace of the empire.

They not only began to accept the policy of the empire, but also began to serve as the eyes of the National Defense Forces, providing very detailed information to the National Defense Forces.

Things have come to this point, and those stubborn chieftains have no soil for survival.

Holding detailed information in his hand, Yan Hongshan began to direct the National Defense Forces to launch an attack on the Datang Gorge Mountain.

"In this battle, we don't want to succeed in one battle, but we need to weaken the enemy bit by bit from all directions like peeling onions. There are so many chieftains on the mountain, we must not be able to unite as one. When the situation is dangerous, we must There will be people who are half-hearted. We just need to keep pressing, give them room to fight, and finally reap the fruits."

Following this principle of combat, the National Defense Forces' attack was neither in a hurry nor slow, beating little by little, constantly shrinking the encirclement.

But in this way, the chieftains on the mountain will feel uncomfortable.

They couldn't find any chance to fight back at all, and could only watch helplessly as the territory they occupied continued to shrink.

This kind of spell-like style of play has brought tremendous pressure to the people on the mountain.
