Chapter 633: Sweet Jujube
"The minister dared to say to Your Majesty, Tu Sui's defeat lies in only attacking his land, not attacking his people, and he is bent on expanding his territory to the north to the household, but he has cut off his retreat regardless of the enemy behind him."
Before I knew it, the lights in the hall had been renewed several times, and Qin Shi Huang had also finished watching Heifu's recital......
Heifu first analyzed the gains and losses of the Qin army's first southern expedition: the Qin army easily occupied the Pingba area, but the Yue people abandoned the village, ran back to the mountains and forests, and began a continuous guerrilla war, surrounding Pingba with mountains and forests. In this case, the scattered Qin army was nailed to various small dams, seriously restraining the troops, and falling into a protracted law and order war and tug-of-war.
This is a completely different mode of war from Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, but it is a bit like the North China security war in later generations......
Therefore, Heifu believes that in terms of general strategy, it is necessary to change the practice of Tu Sui attacking in an all-out way and seizing land and thinking that he is victorious. First defend the west and attack the east, wait for the Qin army to advance by land and water, subdue Dongou and Minyue, and conquer Nanyue, and then concentrate forces to bulldoze Xiou.
In terms of method, it is the "psychological war for the top, and the military war for the bottom" summarized by Heifu.
This war has lasted for two years, not only the Qin people have suffered losses, but the Yue people are also exhausted, they eat wild vegetables and wild fruits in the mountains and forests, they have no stomach, and they do not even have time to come out to plant rice, there must be many people who want to end the war. The Qin army wanted to constantly buy the elders and chiefs, shake their will, and make promises after the war.
Anyway, Lingnan is the land of the Yue people, so they simply promised them a lot of areas outside the main transportation routes that the Qin people could not control, whether it was Pingba or mountains and forests! As long as those who are willing to surrender to Qin, they will be named "Tusi", and the world has its land, the world governs its people, the world commands its soldiers, the hereditary position, the world governs its place, and the world is subject to its title......
This move may be able to win over some of the Yue people and chieftains, and reduce the potential enemies of the Qin army.
Secondly, it is "attacking people for the top, attacking the ground for the bottom"!
As the name suggests, this phrase means: do not attack and occupy the enemy's land alone, but kill the enemy's people.
At present, Xi'ou is the most resolute resistance of the tribe, and it is impossible for the Qin people and Xi'ou to coexist, and only by eliminating this tribe can we deter other Yue people from joining us!
Things didn't have to be like this, like Heifu did in Haidong, opening the way with businessmen, and subtly changing it for decades and hundreds of years, Lingnan was merged into the Central Plains, and it was only a matter of time before Mu Huafeng gradually became popular, but Tu Sui messed up......
Now, this has turned into a war of one people to conquer another, and it will be even more brutal than the Zhongxia Civil War in which Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms! Sweeping, the three-light policy, are inevitable.
After all, this time, the Qin people were the most vicious invaders.
To complete these two strategies, Heifu believes that it will take at least three to five years, which is only a state of coexistence between Qin and Yue, and it will take decades, or even hundreds of years, to completely turn Lingnan into a county!
Heifu had already exaggerated the speed many times, but he didn't dare to say: "Your Majesty, it will actually take more than a thousand years......
After reading it, Qin Shi Huang did not applaud the case, but scoffed at it and criticized:
"It's a nice thing to say, but in my opinion, there's nothing new!"
The so-called psychological warfare is actually not much different from Qin's ethnic policy in Bashu and Beidi, except that "Junchang" was changed to "Tusi", and that's it.
As for the strategy of attacking people, it was also proposed by Qin Xiang Fan Ju many years ago. In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army slaughtered 400,000 Zhao soldiers, although it was Bai Qi who gave the order to slaughter, but the guiding ideology was Fan Ju's strategy to attack people.
Heifu's performance is sprinkled with thousands of words, but in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, it is just old wine in a new bottle, and the most important thing is how to look at it and how time-consuming!
In his opinion, it is the happiest to push the past......
It's a pity that that kind of strategy has failed.
A few days later, Qin Shi Huang left Heifu's recital unpublished, and I don't know whether he agreed or disagreed. The Emperor had been pondering whether there was a better candidate and plan until news came from the south again......
Qin Shi Huang's face was suddenly darker than Heifu.
What's going on? In Hef's words, that is:
"The lower road collapsed!"
……
The war reports arrived one after another within a few days, and after Tu Sui's death, the follow-up situations in southern Xinjiang were put on the case of Qin Shi Huang one by one, and each one was enough to make Qin Shi Huang furious!
The Guilin army lost thousands, and the three captains barely contained their troops.
Nearly 10,000 people died in the rainforest.
Luo Yue formed an alliance with Xi'ou and launched a counterattack against the Qin army, resulting in the loss and abandonment of many Qin military camps.
There was also an accident on the South Vietnamese side, and General Jia, who proposed to burn down the forest, was attacked by the night, but the Yue people who were attacked at night used their own way to treat their people and burned down the Panyu camp, after all, compared to the humid rainforest, the dry Qin camp was the easiest to ignite.
At the same time, the Wuling Mei clan also attacked it, and the grain team was repeatedly robbed. South Vietnam is not as good as Xi'ou, there is a freshly built spiritual canal that can be continuously transported to grain and straw, only the winding path in the five mountains, 20,000 people can not rely on the forest to hunt to fill their stomachs, for a time the camp is full of complaints, and there is even a riot of Chu soldiers due to uneven distribution of food......
Although the riot was barely quelled, the Middle Route Army was greatly injured and could only abandon Panyu and retreat to Yuzhang......
It doesn't matter if you retreat, because the notice was too late, the 3,000 people in Longchuan didn't have time to evacuate, causing Sima Xiaotao of the other department to be trapped in a foreign land, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
The west road will be overthrown, the middle road will abandon the division and lose land, and the east road is not bad, under the coercion of Yin Tong, Dongou has been willing to be attached, but Wuyi Mountain is not easy to turn, and the war against Minyue has also fallen into a stalemate......
A few days ago, the optimistic theory of quick victory came to an abrupt end, and as long as you are not stupid, you can see that it is impossible to solve this battle within half a year.
The Southern Corps had no leader and had to deal with it immediately, so Mao Jiao reiterated the matter of taking Heifu as the general and quickly going south to preside over the situation.
But Qin Shi Huang was noncommittal, after being angry by a series of bad news, the emperor seemed to calm down from his impatience, and when the ministers were a little flustered, he stabilized, and after thinking for a long time, Qin Shi Huang finally spoke.
But what he said was something completely unrelated to the Southern Expedition.
"Qin's military law, has always been clear rewards and punishments, rewards should not be delayed, rewards are not enough, doubtful, now the Eastern Expedition has military merits, each with a rate to receive the knight!"
……
The Jieshi Palace, which was once shrouded in the haze of the failure of the southern expedition, was once again full of joy, and on the tenth day of the first month of October, Qin Shi Huang announced the reward for the soldiers of the Haidong Expedition!
What everyone is most concerned about is naturally the main general Fusu, this general has been promoted several levels in a row, and he is worshiped as "the great master". Changing ordinary people, it is enough to smile crookedly, but Fusu is different, any title is meaningless to him, Mao Jiao and others will inevitably be disappointed, in their hearts, the best result is to take this opportunity to officially establish Fusu as the prince.
But Qin Shi Huang didn't seem to plan to do this, Fusu still lived in the barracks, but Hu Hai was always by the emperor's side, looking favored, which couldn't help but make people think about other places......
After he took over Yugui, he said that the reason why the Eastern Expedition was able to win was because of the soldiers of the three armies and the merits of the supervising army, especially after the end of the war, more than 1,000 people who were stationed in Haidong, and Fusu asked for a reward.
Qin Shi Huang allowed it, so Yang Duanhe, who died before he left the school, was posthumously worshiped as the "Great Chief", he failed to be a marquis after all, but his son Yang Xiong could directly inherit the title, which can be regarded as comforting the spirit of the old general in the sky.
The deputy general Ren Huan, also named Shao Shangzao, Qin Shi Huang personally met with Ren Huan, heard that he had been a lieutenant, asked him his opinion on the war in the south, and afterwards praised Ren Huan as Qin's most powerful Lou ship general, and asked him to unify the Jiaodong Boat Division, ready to go south at any time......
This move caused the ministers to speculate, is it possible, is this the rhythm of the emperor to let Ren Huan be the main general?
Next, an inconspicuous promotion strengthened their opinion.
Heifu's protégé, Shi Chenping, the head of Jiaodong, was promoted to the rank of chief of the left house, on the grounds that he had crossed the sea several times to supervise the grain.
This also means that Chen Ping is already a Qing and must no longer be a guest, he must leave Heifu!
Those wise people immediately smelled something strange from this incident.
"I'm afraid this is Your Majesty's indirect punishment of Heifu."
After all, even Chen Ping was rewarded, but Heifu, who was the overseer, did not move at all, and since Heifu refused Qin Shihuang's order that day, the emperor had not summoned him once.
Whispers permeated the palace and beyond:
"The county guard of Jiaodong really angered His Majesty......"
"This long-standing Sacred Heart seems to have been lost!"
Although there is no shortage of schadenfreude, but the situation in the south has deteriorated to this point, if you don't send a black man, can you just let one of them go? If it fails for several years, it will be even more embarrassing at that time......
After Wei Yang heard about this, he was quite upset with his middle father, after all, even he was promoted to "official doctor", but Heifu did not have any reward.
Heifu just smiled and asked him to get on the boat quickly, and go back to Jiaodong with Ren Huan to prepare for the south, once it snows and the port is frozen, he will have to delay for a few months.
Before Wei Yang reluctantly left, Heifu asked his men to buy Yandi's specialty: sun-dried red dates, let his nephew eat them on the way, and pinched a big colored red date, and said a meaningful word to Wei Yang:
"The more painful the slap, the bigger and sweeter the next dates, you will understand this truth in the future."
These words made Wei Yang puzzled.
It wasn't until October 11, when everyone outside thought that Heifu was already cold, that Qin Shi Huang slowly swallowed a belated edict that shocked everyone!
"The edict said: I have heard the words of Jiaodong County, and it is not my intention to seal the marquis, but I hope that Hai Boping and Heifu, as a prison army, will work tirelessly and bring grain to Haidong in person, and have meritorious. Now that the sea waves have been flattened, you can enjoy the honor of being a marquis! ”
"In the first month of the thirty-fifth year of Wei, the edict is based on the Jiaodong Shouwei clan Heifu as the marquis!"
……
PS: Marquis of Lun = Marquis of Guannei, the lord is inferior to the marquis, and there is no fiefdom. Lun, class also, also lie hou and the like.
