Chapter 1137 The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment
In this world, everyone is like a small cog in a precision machine that is running at full capacity. They have their own positions and responsibilities, and they are indispensable.

The working officials are very busy, and the life of the supervisory officials is not easy.

Whether the officials made mistakes or even violated the law is their responsibility, and no omissions can be allowed in this war.

Any omission may cause changes in the battle situation, and the supervisory officials who have just arrived in the local area have also undergone severe tests.

For example, if a civilian team fails to arrive at the destination on time to receive dispatch, they will investigate the reason and find out where the responsibility lies. If there is a shortage or increase in the quota, they must also find out the reason. With a scale of 10,000+ people, the handling of the problem is even more important. It is even more difficult.

The soldiers on the front line are using their lives to open up a new situation, and the logistics officials in the rear are also doing their best to ensure that there are no problems with the logistics.

The war continued smoothly, and the Qin army was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Fifteen days after the start of the war, the military strongholds around Hailongtun were wiped out, and Yang Yinglong was besieged on Hailongtun. The Battle of Bozhou was about to end.

In the next few days, the army stormed Hai Longtun and broke through several checkpoints. Hai Longtun was in danger.

The morale of the local soldiers has dropped to the limit, and they have almost no fighting spirit. They just hang on to the natural danger. Once the Qin army breaks through and comes close, they will soon collapse.

Yang Yinglong woke up when the second checkpoint at the back of the village was breached, and the third checkpoint, Wan'an Pass, was in danger.

After learning of the current situation, he immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to increase the gold dollar offensive, so that the frontline soldiers could get more rewards and resist more desperately, and then began to try to delay time in various ways.

For example, during the interval between the Qin army's two attacks on the army, it sent people to visit the generals and commanders of the Qin army with gold, silver, treasures, antiques, etc., begging for mercy from them, seeking a peaceful solution to the dispute, and offering to voluntarily surrender but only Ways to retain Banju status.

Zheng Ying explained to the front-line general, who changed the previous rough practice, left the gifts, drove the envoy back, and told Yang Yinglong that it was impossible to retain the status of Bozhou, and he had to surrender unconditionally if he wanted to survive.

Give Yang Yinglong a ray of hope, reduce the intensity and frequency of attacks by the way, let him misjudge the situation, mistakenly think that the Qin army's logistics has problems, and the follow-up is weak, hope to increase, and continue to send people to bring more gifts to negotiate , to give him hope in such a nonsensical way.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Wait until some of the property in his hands is squeezed out before fighting. On the one hand, it will give him a heavy psychological blow, and on the other hand, it will relax the highly nervous Bozhou soldiers.

Sometimes it is not so easy to let go in one breath and lift it up again.

Another aspect is to let the soldiers of the Qin Army also take a break. Although they attack in turn, they have to attack once a day. It is a severe test for the soldiers of the Qin Army, and a proper rest for a day is also very meaningful.

Anyway, Yang Yinglong would definitely bring gifts. Zheng Ying was dazzled by so many treasures, jades and antiques.

The generals of the Qin army really don't know how many treasures they can get after capturing Hailongtun, and how happy His Majesty the Emperor should be.

It is estimated that the income from this war can recover the cost. After all, part of the expenditure of this battle was contributed by the local chieftain.

These chieftains also contributed a lot of money and a lot of food, which was recorded in the account of the army, which saved some expenses for the army in a certain sense.

The wealth accumulated by Yang Yinglong's 700-year foundation, the gold, silver and jewelry, as well as the full warehouse of food and military equipment, should be able to make up for the loss of war to a certain extent.

Those who were captured after the war could be used as coolies for His Majesty the Emperor to open mines, and handed over to the Ministry of Industry for record management, which could also reduce the burden of corvee on the people.

In other words, the Yang Yinglong on Hailong's store was a big piece of fat, a piece of fat that would ooze oil when bitten into it, and the whole Banzhou was a bigger piece of fat.

After reforming the land and returning it to the local people, the idea of ​​land reform must also be implemented here, so that it will be fully controlled by the central government, which is the first time in more than 700 years that it has been controlled by the central government.

Of course, this is something to say later, after the war, those five divisions and seven surnames who followed the army to attack Yang Yinglong must be rewarded.

Let them live the same life as before to appease people's hearts, and it is the same for the whole Guizhou. We must let them settle down and let them think that the central government is only here to crusade against Yang's bright muscles and has nothing else to ask for.

Daqin will leave a team to garrison here, and the surplus troops will begin to station in Sichuan and Yunnan. According to Xiao Ruxun's established strategy, a wave of land reform will be set off here.

Let the slaves under the control of the chieftains rebel, overthrow the chieftains who have been oppressing them for hundreds of years, use their hands to end this system, and implement the policy of the central government governing the localities.

In Ming Dynasty, reforming land and returning to Liu was nominally reforming land and returning to Liu, but it was not done thoroughly.

Local chieftains are still entrenched and still hold a lot of resources. The Ming government can control very little, and most of them are taken away by corrupt officials in a corrupt way, and almost none belong to the central government.

The Ming government never seemed to think that these places could collect much tax, and they never paid much attention to the wild lands in the southwest.

Thus, the central government maintained relative stability with the local chieftains, but this stability has now been broken. The central government is too strong, and the chieftains have realized it.

Since this is the case, they cannot be given much chance to breathe. If they are to be eradicated in one go, no matter if it is the Ansong Tianyang in Guizhou, the Mu family in Yunnan, or the Cen family in Guangxi, they will not be within the scope of amnesty.

The land reform must be thorough, very thorough.

These barbaric lands that have been outside the scope of the central government since ancient times, the Emperor Tiangao is far used to, not used to being managed by the central government and selectively ignored by the central government, it is time to end his "barbaric" history. Under the leadership of the central government, we have entered the age of civilization.

Within the scope of China, there should be no wild lands, and within the scope of China, all should belong to civilization.

These developments are not thorough or even undeveloped. After the overthrow of Chieftain, along with the repair of Dachi Road, the southwest region will usher in a new wave of large-scale development under the leadership of the central government.

Xiao Ruxun also plans to slowly migrate millions of Han people from the north, from Northwest Guan to North China, to live in these places, and completely Sinicize these places.

At that time, Qin Shihuang brought the first ray of dawn to the civilization in the Lingnan area, but unfortunately it was this line. He moved a million residents south to live in Lingnan, planting the blood of China here.

But in the subsequent dynasties, no one knew how to completely assimilate a region into the rule like Qin Shihuang. Even if he knew, he did not have such courage and mobilization as Qin Shihuang to mobilize millions of immigrants to go south.

From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Southwest has always been synonymous with wildness and backwardness. The past dynasties have paid little attention to this place because of the existence of chieftains and few people, and left it to fend for itself. He took off his wild and backward hat.

However, the various resources here are very rich, and the rainfall is also very abundant. Proper development can effectively alleviate the situation of food shortage in the Central Plains under the situation that the Little Ice Age will intensify in the future.
