Xun Chen spoke eloquently to the bandits in the main tent of the Liangshan Bandit Army: "The one-year destruction I mentioned is not an exaggeration. Qingzhou originally caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion due to natural disasters and harsh government. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion these years, Qingzhou has There are wars everywhere, and the food cultivated is less than 20% of the previous one. With the rise of your army, the past two years have been like migratory locusts passing through the border, and there is no harvest. If my guess is correct at this time, I am afraid that your army's food and grass will be exhausted! What if? Your army will fight to the death with my lord again. My lord supports tens of millions of refugees and has no food supplements. Even if the Liangshan army occupies the entire Qingzhou, I am afraid that it will not take long before all the troops will starve to death! The leader of the Song Dynasty said that he would plunder Xu and Yan. , Ji Sanzhou, even if you destroy our lord's army, the Liangshan bandits will definitely be severely weakened at that time. Without two or three years of repair, I am afraid that they will not be able to conquer again, and God will not give you two or three years of rest time. The Liangshan bandits will be wiped out in a year!"
Song Jiang and Wu Yong fell into silence after listening, and Xun Chen's words hit their weaknesses.
Song Jiang said playfully: "The purpose of your visit today is to ask me to give up attacking Qin Ge's troops. Qin Ge is known as the tiger of the Han Dynasty. He is so powerful before he has established a foothold in Qingzhou. Do you want me to let the tiger return to the mountain and cause endless troubles?" "
Xun Chen stared at Song Jiang without hesitation and said: "Although my lord came to Qingzhou in the name of expropriation, the purpose is to bring stability to the people of Qingzhou and live a stable life. If Qingzhou will always be a scorched earth, Not only will the Liangshan bandits die without a burial place, but those innocent people will also have no way to survive! Our Lord only wants to find a place for the wandering innocent people! As Leader Song asked just now, I still say the same thing, one share of food and one share of troops , as long as the leader of the Song Dynasty does not interfere with our wells and rivers, we now occupy two counties in Jinan County and four counties in Qiguo County. Now that spring plowing is coming, we can deliver 30% of the tax grain to the Liangshan Army during this autumn harvest, and each county can pay an average of five One hundred thousand loads! Of course, if the leader of the Song Dynasty refuses to accept, we can fight to the end! Then Qingzhou will have another bad harvest this year. During this autumn harvest, you will have to lead an expedition to Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou. As long as we persist for a few more months, we can Drag the Yellow Turban bandits to death! Of course, the spread of banditry in Qingzhou will inevitably cause panic among the Han gentry. Now that they can each send hundreds of thousands of troops to levy the bandits, then the whole country can gather millions of soldiers. What will the Liangshan bandits do? Come and resist!”
Song Jiang and Wu Yong fell into deep thought, while Xun Chen continued: "From your point of view, if a truce with us gives the people of Qingzhou a chance to breathe this year, then Liangshan will have a foothold, and I will mainly take care of the people. We are simply unable to develop a huge military force in a short period of time, and even for the livelihood of the people, our Lord is willing to sign a contract with you. If the Liangshan troops do not take the initiative to attack our county, we will not take the initiative to attack the Liangshan troops!"
"Haha! We admire General Qin's righteousness. Song has heard that General Qin is so benevolent and righteous. It's so good. I am willing to sign a non-aggression treaty with the general!" Song Jiang stood up, walked down and took Xun Chen's hand. , discussed some details, and finally the two parties finalized the contract. After agreeing on non-aggression, Song Jiang sent Xun Chen away from the camp.
Looking at Xun Chen's retreating figure, Wu Yong sighed: "There are tens of millions of refugees in Taishan County. Qin Ge can quickly fill the counties with them and restore agricultural production. If Qin Ge is allowed to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, the consequences will be It’s unimaginable! But this time we rushed to the battle. Qin Ge had the right time, place and people, and all the troops suffered heavy losses. In addition, with the war on all sides now, we can’t respond from the beginning to the end. In order to preserve our strength, this is the only way we can do it now! "
When Song Jiang heard this, he sneered and said: "If Qin Ge's troops were not brave and full of fighting spirit, our vitality would be greatly damaged if we swallowed them. In addition, the Baibo bandits, Yellow Turban bandits, and Liu Beijun stabbed us in the back. How could I have let the tiger return to the mountain?" , allowing such a tiger to grow bigger, but now that spring plowing is approaching, if the fighting continues, we really have to vigorously attack the strong cities in other states, and then we will be even more passive! As for Qin Ge, if we can really restore the production of various counties, our soldiers We have the power, and it’s not up to him how much we give him when the time comes, we can get it ourselves! With such powerful soldiers, we’re not afraid that Qin Ge won’t give us anything!”
Thinking of the last thing, Song Jiang clapped his hands and laughed. Since Qin Ge wants to be a fat pig to be slaughtered, why not do it? After he has dealt with the white wave bandits, yellow scarf bandits and Liu Beijun, he will attack during the autumn harvest. Qin Ge can obtain massive amounts of food and grass.
In this case, Qin Ge's forces can be plundered continuously. By then, Qin Ge will have difficulty protecting himself and cannot develop at all. He only needs to control the water temperature to keep Qin Ge's forces in a state where they cannot win and cannot starve to death. This will basically raise them. A golden rooster that keeps laying golden eggs completely solves the logistical supply problem of the Liangshan bandits.
"How about Jinan County?" Wu Yong asked hesitantly.
Song Jiang's face turned pale when he heard this and said: "Brother Li Ying was killed carelessly. Taohua Mountain now lacks a general. Then Li Zhong and Zhou Tong are two losers. They have absolute military strength but are defeated by the female soldiers and villains from Tugu County." The beast is frightened, so be it! Let Yang Zhi from Erlong Mountain take charge of Peach Blossom Mountain!"
Wu Yong looked a little unnatural when he heard this and said: "Yang Zhi has been drinking all day since he came to the world with us. While other brothers are doing their best, he is always drunk. I am afraid that this boy has missed the big brother's plan!"
Song Jiang looked a little melancholy and said: "Too many brothers have been injured in this battle. Taohuashan is sandwiched between the Baibo bandits and Qin Ge, and there are more than 500,000 troops gathered. Yang Zhi's methods are not inferior to Lin Chong, but he always does shit. After Zhongliang’s dream, he despised our Liangshan Army’s actions and disgraced their ancestors. He is indeed a loser with no fighting spirit, but it is easy to control. Even if he is useless again, he will be dozens of times stronger than those two guys Li Zhong and Zhou Tong. ! It’s more than enough to suppress Taohuashan! And Coach Lin led a million soldiers, but he was so killed that he didn’t dare to advance. He said he was afraid of a sneak attack by Baibo bandits. These are all excuses. Tell them, they must listen to me in Liangshan, otherwise Don’t blame me for being rude!”
Upon hearing Song Jiang's words, Wu Yong's face turned pale, he cupped his fists and said, "The troops from Chang County..."
Song Jiang was silent for a moment and said: "Originally, I wanted to use this army as a nail to drive into Qin Ge's hinterland. However, Qin Jiben burned the food and grass in Xinwen County when he broke the city. Now the Jie brothers, Huang Xin and others have nothing to do." With food available and the help of Weijiabao troops, it is no longer possible to retake Xinwen County, and if Qin Ge is to let down his guard against us, let them withdraw!"
Wu Yong hurriedly clasped his fists in response, preparing to ask Dai Zong, the divine traveler, to go and deliver the message.
…
The Liangshan army began to retreat one after another, and even some cottages hidden in the mountains and forests under Qin Ge's rule also evacuated. Qin Ge did not stop these bandits until all the Liangshan bandits evacuated.
Qin Ge issued successive government orders. First, he restored the power of the Qingzhou Governor's Office to rule Qingzhou and temporarily established the Governor's Office in Xinwen County. Officials and nobles who were persecuted due to the Liangshan bandits could go to Qingzhou Governor's office. The government reported that the Qingzhou Governor's Office will give priority to them and appoint them as appropriate;
Second, to eliminate banditry and maintain stability under the rule, bandits in each county and town must lay down their weapons and surrender. Those who voluntarily surrender within ten days can be given a lighter sentence. If they are stubborn, they will definitely send troops to attack them, and actively contact each county and town. Villagers, collect the crimes of relevant gangsters. If the crimes are heinous, they will be executed according to law;
The third step is to re-measure the land and household registration, conduct unified accounting and allocation of wasteland in various places, and re-register the local armed forces according to the number of acres. The inherent land will still be cultivated by the noble families themselves, but it must be in accordance with the tax law. Pay taxes and accept the governance of Qingzhou Prefecture, otherwise you will be regarded as a bandit!
In the end, Kinderman began to continuously send immigrants from Taishan County. Since Kinderman deliberately carried out positive propaganda and guidance in the early days of Qin Ge's conquest of Qingzhou, and asked Anna to use the Shengyao Crystal in Qilin Square. A huge statue was carved. It was the sculpture of Qin Ge leading his troops in a bloody national war.
The main bodies of the sculptures include Qin Ge, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and other generals whose faces are lifelike. Slavic people have a tradition of erecting heroic sculptures in squares. Anna's craftsmanship is naturally lifelike, and can even be seen in the snowy fields with heavy snowfall.
The image of Qin Ge leading the soldiers to bravely kill the enemy and protect China is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Shengyao Crystal appears golden during the day, and after absorbing the sun's rays, it is dazzling at night, making Qin Ge's image even more radiant.
Kinderman was originally an unintentional move. He planned to use the deeds of Qin Ge's national war to shape Qin Ge's influence and enhance the cohesion of the people in the territory.
As a result, the fusion of Shengyao Stone Sculpture and Qilin Square actually triggered the hidden attribute of civilization fusion, and a special heaven-level building was directly born: Heroes Square!
Heroes Square (Heavenly Level, Civilization Integration):
Introduction: It is formed by the integration of Slavic civilization hero sculptures and Chinese civilization cultural square.
Immortality: The square records heroic deeds, allowing the hero’s glory to be immortalized in the territory.
Pass on the fire from generation to generation: Inspire the people with heroic deeds, understand the heroic spirit, and inherit the heroic will.
United as one: Using heroes as idols, we inspire the people to unite and help each other to create a better future!
The special building of Heroes' Square is a special building used to greatly improve public opinion and popular support. Its hidden attributes can enhance the credibility of the court and enhance the execution ability of the people. It can be said that it is unintentional.
Of course, the gossip is a bit far-fetched. Due to Kinderman’s previous campaign and a series of preferential policies, such as a substantial reduction in farmland taxes and fees, a large amount of subsidies for cattle, mules and other livestock, as well as many advanced technologies developed by Song Yingxing, Measures such as interest-free loans for agricultural tools and high-yielding seeds attracted a large number of unemployed refugees, especially people who fled to Taishan County from Qingzhou and actively participated in the return of refugees.
Kinderman has already made a plan. Because of the fertile land, 5 million people from Qiguo County, 2 million people from Jinan County, 3 million people from Le'an County, and 2 million people from Dongguan County can be resettled before spring plowing. There are about 12 million refugees.
In order to provide immigrants with a safe living environment as soon as possible.
Politically, Guan Zhong was in charge of the Qingzhou government office and temporarily took charge of all government affairs.
Mao Jie led officials from all walks of life to survey land, fields, houses, and minerals, register the people, and plan the construction of new villages and towns.
Xun Chen continued to use his expertise. Along with Wei Xie and other nobles who submitted to Qin Ge, he lobbied the powerful families, Wubao, cottages, manors and villages that were divided by all parties to allow the various forces that had separated themselves to protect themselves due to banditry. Accept the rule of Qingzhou Prefecture as much as possible.
Because Qin Ge was the governor of Qingzhou and sent a signal to the major noble families to select talents and use talents, many separatist forces were wary of Qin Ge's decrees.
After all, if the imperial court restores the rule of Qingzhou and the children of the nobles can serve as officials under the Qingzhou government, it will be a matter of honor for the ancestors and the foundation for maintaining the dominance of the nobles in various places. Therefore, with Wei Xie's example, many nobles will follow suit.
Qin Ge personally led the troops to launch a vigorous and comprehensive campaign against the vicious and stubborn bandits who were scattered throughout the country.
