The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 789 Serf
Three days later, Xiao Yue led the army and set off from Yumen Pass to the west of Tibet.

There is still a long distance from Yumen Pass to the west of Tibet, and there is a journey of more than 1000 miles along the way.

Fortunately, this is a march in the country, and there is no need for much precaution. The journey along the way is still very fast. Half a month later, Xiao Yue's army has arrived at the edge of western Tibet.

At this time, the Living Buddha Ji Luorong Dengba in Xizang also knew that the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty had arrived at the edge of Tibet.

It is not without reason that Jirigla dared to resist the Central Plains Dynasty so frantically.

The first thing he relied on was that the terrain in Tibet was complex and the weather was different from that in the Central Plains.

The second reason is his religious identity, because in the current religion of Western Tibet, he is a living living Buddha, and in Western Tibet he firmly believes in this kind of thing.

That's why Lurong Dengba was able to rule in western Tibet for such a long time.

Lurong Dengba got the report this time, knowing that the Central Plains is bound to win this time, he must not take it lightly.

Lurong Dengba Living Buddha.Immediately ordered 3 people to advance to Nagqu District. Nagqu is the gateway to the north for Tibet. As long as they can stay here for a few months, with the harsh natural conditions in western Tibet, the people of the Central Plains may be killed by nature here. destroyed.

Xiao Yue led the soldiers into Tibet, and was immediately hit by nature.

Almost all of his troops suffered from altitude sickness, struggled with every step forward, panted, and their legs refused to obey commands.

Xiao Yue was not well prepared for this situation, so a large number of non-combat attrition occurred in the army.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yue could only garrison temporarily, and then ordered the troops to send those soldiers who could not hold on out of Tibet.

In this way, the army has been garrisoned for nearly a month, and the soldiers slowly adapted to the climate of the plateau. Only then did Xiao Yue continue to march.

After Xiao Yue walked in western Tibet for a while and found out the people, and learned about the local situation, he realized why Jia Ke hated these Living Buddhas so much.

It turned out to be in Western Tibet.These living Buddhas of Lamaism are a piece of sky above the people, and this God has no mercy, and has cruelly oppressed the people in the lower classes to the extreme.

It is precisely because this kind of oppression is so cruel that the upper class came up with the strategy of using religion to paralyze the people below, otherwise, these unbearable slaves at the bottom would have risen up and rebelled long ago.

Xiao Yue discovered that in western Tibet there existed a serf system that had been abolished by the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years.

The cruelty of the serf system shocked even Xiao Yue, who was the ruling figure of the upper class of the Central Plains.

In western Tibet, it is often seen that the houses of the slave owners are tall and magnificent, decorated with all kinds of Buddhism, and the ornaments are solemn and solemn, while the houses of the slaves are like a nest, so they are considered relatively wealthy families, and many people even wear clothes. Just lying in the yard.

Moreover, the land rent in western Tibet has reached the insane [-]% split. Of course, the serf owners get [-]% and the serfs only get [-]%.

This is quite benevolent. Some people directly gave all the crops in the fields to the serf owners themselves, and only gave the serfs some pig food to keep them alive.

What's more cruel is that as long as the serf owners have a little bit of trouble, they will vent their anger on these serfs. They have come up with various methods, such as cutting off their hands and gouging out their eyes.

That's not counting, and the monks in those temples said on the surface that they served the Buddha with a pure heart and few desires, but in fact, all of them had human faces and animal hearts.

These lamas don’t have a day, and they lack the service of women. The source of these women is the serfs and the nuns who converted to the Buddha.

If those women and nuns are good, they can still survive. If they don't obey, those lamas will immediately torture these women to death in order to fear that the matter will be revealed.

What Xiao Yue saw along the way was frightening. If it was in the Central Plains, the common people would have risen up and rebelled long ago.But these peasants in western Tibet insisted on enduring it in order to have a good birth in the next life.

After learning about the local situation, Xiao Yue made up his mind to wipe out all these man-eating serf owners and turn Tibet into the most consolidated part of the ruling dynasty in the Central Plains.

So Xiao Yue followed his own mind and began to transform the places he passed.

Every time Xiao Yue went to a place, all the upper-level slave owners were killed, and for the living Buddhas in those temples, they were forced to reincarnate.

As for the vacated land, Xiao Yue distributed it to the serfs according to their heads.

And promised these serfs that as long as they pay taxes to the country on time in the future, all other income will belong to them.

Xiao Yue's policy quickly won the support of the majority of the lower classes. These miserable serfs have already regarded Xiao Yue as a living Buddha.

Therefore, there was an endless stream of serfs who came to join the army, and Xiao Yue naturally couldn't accept these people who came to join the army. Their army had undergone rigorous training, and these serfs would only add to the chaos.

However, Jirigala, the leader of the Eight Banners, disagreed with Xiao Yue's opinion. He raised two objections.

First, these serfs were all born and raised in western Tibet, and some of them could even survive overnight in the heavy snow. They naturally had a way of surviving on the plateau in western Tibet, and with them they could greatly reduce the non-combat casualties of the troops.

Second, although these serfs cannot fight, the yaks and other livestock they brought can help the troops transport food and supplies.

Third, the army of the Central Plains lacked guides when they entered Tibet. These herdsmen have lived in western Tibet for many years. If they are the guides, they will know where the water source is and where the valley is. It is not easy to march. Attacking Tibet has a very good effect.

After thinking about it for a few days, Xiao Yue felt that Jirigala's idea was very good. In the past, he only thought about marching to quickly reduce casualties, but he didn't think so much.

So on the second day, Xiao Yue allowed these serfs to accompany the army, to help the army transport food and grass, act as guides, and help the army spend the night in the wilderness of western Tibet.

With the help of these serfs, Xiao Yue's army had a significant reduction in non-combat attrition in the following days, and the marching speed was much faster than before.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xiao Yue's army finally arrived near Nagqu.

The army of Lurong Dengba Rinpoche has been waiting here for several months. At the beginning, they were still in full swing, but as time went by, these people gradually slacked off and started to run amok nearby.

By the time of the Spring Festival in the Central Plains, the army, which was originally a whole number, has now herded sheep. Even the commander of this army, Si Lang Jiangcuo, is indulging in laughter every day.

When Si Lang Jiangcuo got the news that the Central Plains army had arrived nearby, he suddenly woke up.

So the commander immediately summoned his generals to organize the defense in a hurry.At the same time, he ordered the serfs under his command to strengthen the defense of the city wall.As a result, this order ruined his life.

It turned out that among these serfs, there were former serfs sent by Xiao Yue. As soon as these people arrived in this thick center, they began to publicize the benevolence of the Central Plains troops and their division of fields.

Listen to these serfs who have not yet been liberated, people who used to be treated as cattle and horses like themselves, now they are also divided into fields. The envy in their hearts is false, so grass began to grow one by one.

This time, Silang ordered these serfs to strengthen the defense on the city wall, and the delivery of supplies just gave them a chance.

After all the western Tibetan soldiers fell asleep in the middle of the night, these serfs suddenly assembled hundreds of people and rushed to the gate of the city, hacking and killing all the guarding soldiers who were still dozing off.

After that, he quietly opened the city gate, and Xiao Yue immediately ordered the cavalry to enter the city as preparations had been made outside the city gate.

So Xiao Yue's army rushed into Naqu City that night.

After Silang Jiangcuo got the report from his own soldiers that the Central Plains army had already entered the city, he was already frightened out of his wits. He didn't care about other people, so he turned around and went up, and wanted to escape with a few soldiers .

But he ran a bit late, and before he reached the south gate, he was blocked by cavalry from the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

These Manchu Eight Banners cavalry saw a very gorgeously dressed general among the ancients, who looked like a nobleman, so they rushed forward.

Silang lowered his measures.It's okay for these Qing soldiers to bully and bully the common people, but this time when they confronted the Eight Banners warriors, they were immediately wiped out like melons and beans.

In the end, only Silang Jiangcuo was left alone. This general looked mighty, but now he turned into a quail. When he saw that he was surrounded and all his soldiers had been killed, it was obvious. He was covered in blood, and he was terrified a long time ago.

So Si Lang Jiangcuo knelt down on the ground without waiting for the opponent to approach, "Masters of the Central Plains, I am the commander in chief of Naqu City, I am willing to surrender, and please spare my life."

As soon as these Eight Banners soldiers heard that this man was the commander in Naqu City, they naturally gave up the idea of ​​beheading him immediately, rushed up and tied up this big man, and happily went to the rear to find their commander to repay their merits.

It was not until the second day that the whole Naqucheng calmed down and Xiao Yue entered Naqu with his troops before he got the news that Si Lang Jiangcuo, the commander of Naqu City, had been captured alive.

For this person, Xiao Yue didn't take this person seriously, because now he didn't lack guides, and he had already made up his mind to wipe out all the upper-class figures in western Tibet, so it wouldn't be of much use to keep him.

So he immediately ordered this person to be beheaded for public display.

Next, Xiao Yue ordered to rectify the law and order in Nagqu City, and then redistribute the wealth in Nagqu City according to the original policy.

Those who did small businesses naturally did not commit any crimes, but for those big landlords, big serf owners, and living Buddhas in temples, bloody cleansing was carried out.

Only when these people are cleaned, can the serfs at the bottom be able to safely accept the fields allocated to them. Otherwise, these people will be terrified, thinking that these nobles will come back, and dare not take refuge easily.
