This rebellion came to be known as
"Lind's Rebellion". The organizational and heroic performance of the industrial workers in this rebellion not only surprised the civilians in the mountains, but also caused waves among the regular troops of the Perak Army.
Huang Dagen, Cao Ergou and others often used this battle to motivate soldiers to train harder. In their words
"Worker brothers can pick up tools to produce, pick up weapons to kill enemies, what are you proud of?" Of course, this war also exposed many management shortcomings and loopholes.
At the military and political meeting shortly after the counter-insurgency, senior members of the Perak Army reviewed this. Li Shuang was the first to make a review. He believed that he had not arranged the Pengzhou Army well and there were problems with food distribution. Yu Zhu reviewed that the production and defense of the garrison camp were not balanced well. Yang Xiucai reviewed that his poor concept of the overall situation delayed the allocation of food. Xia Hu Thinking that he had not done a good job in screening, even Cao Ergou joined in the fun and said that he should not hold the wedding that day... After listening to everyone's speech, Ouyang Xuan said slowly: "The person who is most responsible for this chaos is none other than me. ".
Ouyang Xuan took the responsibility because he believed that he lacked deep consideration in recruiting generals.
The rebellion was handled properly, and the property damage caused to Liuliba was not great. In addition to houses, the equipment and facilities of factories and workshops were slightly damaged, but more than ten workers were killed or injured.
Although the rebel leaders and backbones were beaten to death or executed, and the rest would be shackled to hard labor in dark mines for life, innocent workers eventually lost their lives.
In Ouyang Xuan's opinion, if Pengzhou Army had made it clear what was in the mountain when they first entered the mountain,
If "the soldiers and the people are united, and the officers and soldiers are united", they will not feel that they are being discriminated against and become dissatisfied; if their attitude is tougher and they insist on confiscating their weapons, they will not have the confidence to rebel; if their organization is disrupted and dispersed, the rebellion will It is impossible to happen... Therefore, he proposed that those who surrender to the Perak Army in the future must hand over their weapons and disperse them. This is not only for the army, but also for clans and families. In a word, the Perak Army system will never allow uncontrolled forces to exist. .
Ouyang Xuan's proposal was basically recognized by everyone. It is said to be basic because among the more than 20 people attending the meeting, several people including Qian Laoer did not oppose it, but did not express support.
While the military and political meeting was being held, the door of the meeting hall was suddenly opened, and a sweat-stained scout walked in and handed Ouyang Xuan a secret letter with red silk.
After reading the secret document, Ouyang Xuan slowly raised his head and read out the contents of the secret document with a calm face: "In the Battle of Chengdu, the Song army was defeated and countless were killed by the Mongols. Now Pu Zezhi is retreating to Chongqing."
This news was like the firing of the Pili Army's latest fortress cannon, causing everyone in the hall to change their expressions. Only a few people, including Li Shuang, Yu Zhu, Cao Ergou, and Xia Hu, had calm and unfazed expressions.
Some time ago, Ouyang Xuan revealed his judgment on the future situation to Li Shuang and others in a confidential meeting: the Song Army will inevitably lose the battle of Chengdu, and Yunding City will also fall.
The Mongolian army will pursue Pu Zezhi all the way to Chongqing Prefecture, and the state capitals along the way will also fall into the hands of the Mongolian army. From now on, the Song Army will only maintain the area from Jiading Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture along the river to the Xiakou in central Sichuan.
By then, there will be only one anti-Mongolian force in western Sichuan, the Perak Army, and it will face tremendous pressure from the Mongolian army. When Ouyang Xuan expressed his prediction for the first time, Li Shuang, Cao Ergou and others were only half-convinced.
Although Brother Xuan has always predicted things, they really can't believe such an outrageous judgment. We must know that this time Pu Zezhi mobilized all the combatable troops in Sichuan, including 40,000 elite soldiers, plus 100,000 logistical personnel, as well as the grain, grass and equipment accumulated by Yu Jie in Sichuan for more than ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the troops are well-prepared and well-fed, and there is no reason to fail against the Mongolian and Han armies that number in the tens of thousands.
However, the subsequent battle situation gradually confirmed Ouyang Xuan's judgment. First, Liu Zhen was defeated by Yulin at Jiantandu, Pu Zezhi's siege of Chengdu was torn open, and then Lizhou Mongolian Wang Dechen's troops came to help, and three groups of Mongolian troops The combined force has reached more than 20,000 people, and they are gradually gaining the upper hand.
Only then did Li Shuang and others believe Ouyang Xuan's judgment, and they were no longer surprised by today's news. It’s just that they are still dubious about Ouyang Xuan’s judgment about Yunding City. They must know that this fortress city has been painstakingly managed by Yao Shian for more than ten years. It is known as
One of the "Eight Pillars in Sichuan", the defenders numbered 8,000. Even if the number of defenders is reduced by half, and even if the Mongols kill more than 10,000 people, there is no chance of them falling.
The scouts brought back secret documents from the Battle of Chengdu and recorded the detailed battle conditions. As the Song army continued to attack the city for a long time, its morale gradually weakened over time.
After entering May, it rained continuously for days and mud was everywhere, which was very detrimental to the Song army. What's even more terrible is that in the past few months of siege, the Song army's military discipline has become increasingly corrupt, and a large amount of property has been looted everywhere.
Carrying these belongings will reduce the mobility of the Song army and relax the soldiers' will to fight. After all, after becoming rich, what you think about is not winning, but saving your life, returning home and buying land.
Niulin took the opportunity to counterattack when the wind and rain came, and broke through the Song army's camp in one fell swoop. The corpses of the Song army were scattered all over the field, and they fled for hundreds of miles.
Seeing that the defeat was inevitable, Pu Zhezhi had no choice but to take some of the remaining soldiers to the direction of Chongqing Prefecture and fight and retreat.
The defeated soldiers fled in all directions, with the largest number of people fleeing to Jiading Prefecture and Yunding City. Only about half of the 100,000 Song soldiers and civilians could escape the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry. Most of them would be shot or captured as slaves.
As for the large amount of food, equipment and property in the camp, they all fell into the hands of the Mongols. After this battle, the Sichuan Song Army was severely weakened and was no longer able to launch an offensive against the Mongolian Army.
The people who participated in the military and political meeting were not ordinary people, but they were still shocked by the news of Pu Zezhi's defeat. They all knew the seriousness of this matter.
There is no direct confrontation between the official army and the Mongols, which means that the Perak Army will directly face the powerful Mongols.
Even if the Mongols cannot attack Wanjiabao, they will trap the Perak Army in Jiguan Mountain as long as they adopt a siege strategy.
Just when everyone was worried, Ouyang Xuan cleared his throat and suppressed the discussion. He was about to throw out the countermeasures he had prepared long ago, and then everyone would discuss and improve the details.
After hearing the greeting, everyone stopped talking and looked at Ouyang Xuan with bated breath. For a moment, the huge hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
In the eyes of everyone, this change of situation came so unexpectedly, Brother Xuan had a countermeasure in an instant, either by making random nonsense, or by having the power of foretelling like a god.
But judging from Brother Xuan's behavior, it's obviously not possible to be the former.
