Volume 3 Chapter 370 Soldiers Do Not Tire of Deception (2)
It's just that he still can't figure it out, his daughter is indeed very beautiful, when he was engaged in a diplomatic alliance before, someone had proposed to use his daughter as a diplomatic condition, but he refused because he wanted to marry his daughter to Lu Ren, but why didn't he look down on Lu Ren?
And what he couldn't understand was how Lu Ren could say that he would fight, and he didn't even have the slightest sign before? Wasn't it good to send someone to Ceylon to test the tone or something?
Not to mention the reaction here in Nagopore, it only takes some time for the news to spread, and Lu Ren is also deliberately giving some time for the news to spread, so the fleet has been bombarding the dock for several days, but never hitting people or buildings.
But the more this happened, the more terrible the common people of Caliheit became, for they did not know when the terrible shells would fall on their heads, so the number of people fleeing increased day by day, and the docks became almost an uninhabited empty city for a few days.
Not only that, but even deserters began to appear among the garrison, because they were the ones who knew best what kind of power Lu Ren's fleet had. Let them go to battle with poor scimitar spears? You don't bring it to death, do you? Anyway, didn't Lu Ren say it? This incident is only aimed at Nagopur, but he doesn't want to hurt the civilians, and Nagopur is also a little kind to the civilians, and he earns a lot of money, but the civilians and the army often have hungry times, so there is really no reason for everyone to work so hard for Nagopur......
By the way, it must be said that the common people and even the middle and lower class soldiers in the Kalihet region will have this kind of thought, which has a lot to do with the spread of Lu Ren to the caste revolutionary army, and then the expansion of public opinion by the caste revolutionary army in the Asan Peninsula. You must know that the ideology of the Asan is a bit strange in a sense, or that the influence of the caste class system is too deep, if it were under normal circumstances, they would think that the enslavement of the higher castes to the lower castes is a matter of course, and the lower castes must also be cattle and horses for the higher castes and even give their lives.
In other words, if Lu Ren hadn't done something on the ideological level first, he would probably have to face a large group of madmen who were not afraid of death when the war officially began...... Well, this is actually one of the reasons why Lu Ren is reluctant to fight the three city-states too early, and it is very annoying to fight with a group of crazy people.
But things are much better now. Lu Ren, or the caste revolutionary army, made the people of Ah San understand such a truth, that is, why are you so-called higher castes higher than us? Why can you be literate and we can't? Why should we be a cow or a horse for you, and you will be served? Why do we have to give everything for you?
There are too many problems in this regard, and one of the most important is that these higher castes fooled the common people by monopolizing cultural knowledge at a large level in that era, and Lu Ren did a very good job in this article, after all, in China at the end of the Han Dynasty, the scholar class also wanted to monopolize the career with monopoly knowledge, but Lu Ren never allowed the scholar forces to get involved in their own territory, so he has always spared no effort to popularize culture and education.
Then, those Han Ah San were also deeply influenced by this, and then when they returned to the Ah San Peninsula, they preached that those things that we so-called lower castes can also learn, so we can do the same things that the higher castes do, and even do better.
In other words, Lu Ren actually moved the knife on the root cause of some problems, which then affected the ideology of the Ah San, especially the middle and lower level Ah San. In a sense, it is very similar to the situation in modern China......
There was a rumbling of artillery on Kalihet's side, and I don't know how many shells had been fired, but there were still not a few deaths. However, there were many more civilians who fled the docks in fright, and most of them fled to the castle in Nagodpur. There were also many people who fled to the south, and also to the east, over the mountains to the east, and in both directions fled to the territory of the caste revolutionary army.
It is said that in that era, such a flight and loss of population was something that the people in power could not tolerate, and once it appeared, it was often violently suppressed. It's just that now Nagopur is also scared, all his thoughts are thinking about how to deal with Lu Ren's attack, and where is the heart to care about the escape of these untouchables in his eyes?
At this time in Yangon, Lu Ren was holding a meeting, and the main participants were representatives of the caste revolutionary army and the southern Kushan.
In the past, Lu Ren showed the map and made suggestions to the two groups...... Well, just a suggestion, not an order. And the difference between the two, I won't say much here, anyway, Lu Ren's role is a guide, but not a superior.
First of all, he criticized the current attitude of the Nanguishan Group. How do you say that? To quote a sentence from a certain era, Lu Ren is telling the people of Nan Guishan that "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." It is true that the Southern Kushan Group has become somewhat tired after reaching a divide-and-conquer situation with the Northern Guishan, and the attack on the Northern Guishan is no longer so active.
However, this can't all be blamed on others Nan Guishan, the real situation is actually that the main composition of Nan Guishan is the middle and lower level personnel of the original Kushan Empire, and after splitting into the North and South Guishan with those upper aristocratic groups, the corresponding infrastructure of Nan Guishan is still relatively weak. To put it bluntly, the political system has not yet taken shape, and all aspects of production have not yet been put in place, so it will take a corresponding time to do a good job of these things, and then there will be the capital to compete with Beiguishuang. In other words, Nanguishuang is this society that is busy "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming kings".
Of course, Lu Ren understands this, and according to Lu Ren's original plan, he also hopes that Nanguishuang's foundation can be laid firmly, after all, Nanguishuang is stable, and his sea passages, trade routes and other things can be more secured. Moreover, Nan Guishuang's governance experience is very bad, after all, these middle- and lower-class people have no management experience before, and they lack corresponding knowledge, so it is also convenient for Lu Ren to arrange his own talents to Guishuang, and then achieve a kind of ideological harmony.
However, now Lu Ren's strategic plan has changed to a certain extent, and he needs to go west in advance, so he can't let Nan Guishan be so idle anymore. On the other hand, the people of Nanguishan did make some mistakes, some of the mistakes that the rebel army in Chinese history did not make less, that is, these middle and lower-class personnel began to become arrogant and unenterprising after grasping a certain amount of power, blindly hiding in their own one-third of an acre of land to enjoy themselves, and this result often caused their final defeat, and at the same time they often lost quickly.
Lu Renna is a person who has read many historical materials, and he is deeply wary of this kind of thing. If Nan Guishuang has little to do with Lu Ren, Lu Ren actually doesn't bother to care so much, but it is still the same sentence, whether Nan Guishuang is stable or not can be related to the supply route of Lu Ren's next move, this Nima is not a joke, so it is necessary for Lu Ren to beat Nan Guishuang well. In Lu Ren's words, you guys don't hide at home, drink wine, eat meat and play with women, and let Lao Tzu go out to fight!
These are the problems of the Southern Kushan, but calling the representatives of the caste revolutionary army on the other side of India is a different purpose. Unlike Nan Guishan's current greed for comfort and lack of progress, the caste revolutionary army is very active in wanting to attack, but their strength is really not enough, and it is a little reluctant to defend the current territory. Therefore, compared with Nan Guishan, the caste revolutionary army relied more on Lu Ren for the support and help provided to them.
But at this point, the caste revolutionary army, or it should be said that a certain ideological factor in the bones of the Asan people is a little flattering, anyway, for Lu Ren, he has to make a request at the first opportunity, today he said that he wants Lu Ren to provide them with something, and tomorrow he says that he hopes Lu Ren can provide them with something, and even proposed to Lu Ren to lend them troops.
Lu Ren is not stupid, and he said in his heart that you guys are really wronged when they are Lao Tzu? You should do what you should do yourself, don't think about getting ready-made from Lao Tzu.
Therefore, Lu Ren's current attitude towards the caste revolutionary army is to persuade them to do a good job in production and lay a good foundation. And the pattern of India is different from that of Guishan, Guishan was originally a big empire, even if it was split into the north and south Guishan, because the northern Guishan side is the original high nobles, in many respects it still has a lot of advantages over the southern Guishan, if Lu Ren is not going to make strategic adjustments, in fact, he doesn't want the Southern Guishan to go to the North Guishan before the foundation is laid.
But on the Indian side, it is itself some loose city-states, and after the caste revolutionary army occupied the south and southeast of India with the support of Lu Ren, those Indian city-states actually have nothing to do with the caste revolutionary army, in other words, the caste revolutionary army can completely engage in production and construction with peace of mind, at least you have to be self-sufficient in food, right? If you don't do these things well, you think about fighting this and that, once something happens, it will cause a collapse, so won't Lu Ren's next base for the rest of the war be implicated? If he meows a little more ugly, you all ask Lao Tzu for everything, and Lao Tzu can't afford it here, okay?
In addition, there is another one, that is, in this era, the original Kushan occupied the existence of North India, in other words, the Asan and the Kushan had a feud. And now that Guishan, at least Southern Guishan and the caste revolutionary army are attached to Lu Ren, the contradictions in this regard must be properly mediated.
But it's not too difficult to do this, just push some hatred points on the head of North Guishan, and South Guishan itself is also an oppressed person, okay? Lu Ren is not too familiar with some political methods like this. Moreover, Lu Ren also played a trick, that is, to make both the Southern Guishan and the caste revolutionary army look hostile to the three city-states of North India, so that a situation of attacking the three city-states of North India can be formed. For Nan Guishuang, these people are easy to fight; For the caste revolutionary army, it is to have some comrades-in-arms, and they are naturally very happy.
The above is the main content of this meeting, after the two sides have discussed it, it can be regarded as reaching an agreement, and the remaining details let them go back and discuss by themselves, but Lu Ren threw out another topic at this time:
"You remember the original battle of Rangoon, right? It was before I came to Yangon, and the people of Northern Kushan attacked my Yangon city, and then I beat it back. ”
Both the people of Southern Kushan and the people of the Caste Revolutionary Army nodded. In fact, it was that battle that made Lu Ren famous here in Central Asia, and Nan Guishan would cooperate with Lu Ren, which also had a lot to do with this battle. However, they didn't understand what Lu Ren meant by mentioning the Battle of Yangon at this time.
Lu Ren drew a circle on the map with his finger at this time, but the location of the drawing was on the Indian side: "At that time, several city-states in India came from the sea with the fleet of Anxi, and wanted to cooperate with the Northern Kushan to attack Yangon, so it can be said that if it wasn't for my reinforcement fleet arriving in time at that time, then this Yangon city would have been lost for I don't know how many years." After that, I put up with it for the time being because there were still a lot of things that were not in place. But! We have a saying in Huaxia that 'a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late', and now that I have stabilized the situation, it is time for me to go to some guys to take revenge and settle accounts. ”
Lu Ren's words seemed to be an understatement, but the personnel of the Southern Guishan and the caste revolutionary army who attended the meeting felt a murderous aura...... Well, Lu Ren is a bit acting, and the personnel on both sides are just playing a psychological role. However, Lu Ren has been the overlord of one side for more than 20 years, and if he is really ruthless, he still has some momentum on his body.
The most important thing is that the personnel of the other two parties have watched the tactical drill arranged by Lu Ren before, and have realized Lu Ren's military strength from a new level, so they know that they can't provoke Lu Ren who is angry, after all, in many cases, big fists are the last word. And in this way, the personnel of these two sides were silent for the guy who became Lu Ren's next target.
Lu Ren peeked at the reactions of these people, nodded secretly in his heart, and then said quietly: "The scene at that time was actually very chaotic, because the soldiers under my command were all red-eyed, and they either sank the enemy ships that came to attack, or they ran too fast to pursue, so they didn't catch any prisoners after the battle, so I don't know how many city-states came to attack at that time." Then again, even though there is a grudge, I can't fight them all one by one, right? You should all know that I have never wanted to harm the innocent. ”
