Dai Yaoqing's information was placed on the desk of the 15th Division that night.
Fang Fangyuan, director of the Guangxi Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, rushed over from Liuzhou Prefecture and reported the battle situation of the First Division while cooperating with the 15th Division.
"The Dai family is a wealthy local family in Guangyuan, Sichuan. Their ancestors have been doing business for a living. Fuyao Group's local glass business is represented by his younger brother Dai Yaoming. When the Can Ming Dynasty was established, we conducted an investigation on all officials
Screening. Dai Yaoqing belongs to the category that is friendly to the empire, and this information is very credible."
With the help of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Yan Hongshan became more confident.
"Don't move this secret chess piece for the time being. After all, the situation in the mountains is complicated and the situation will not be clear for a while. Our top priority is to cooperate with the government to complete the land reform. As long as we firmly control the plains under the mountains, the people in the mountains will not be able to survive.
how long."
There is no flat land in the mountains near Dateng Gorge, and the soil is poor, making it unsuitable for growing crops. Without supplies from outside the mountains, it would be difficult for people in the mountains to survive.
Time is on the side of the empire, and Yan Hongshan can afford it.
After discussion, the 15th Division and the 14th, 16th, and 18th Public Security Divisions that arrived later dispersed in all directions, seizing Guixian, Wuxuan County, Xiangzhou, Lipu, Yongan Prefecture and other places, and completely destroyed the Datang Gorge.
The nearby mountains are completely blocked.
At the same time, with the strong military support of the National Defense Forces, the newly formed government began to forcibly confiscate the land and property originally belonging to chieftains, landlords, and scholars, and distribute them to civilians.
This kind of distribution can be enjoyed by Han people, Zhuang people or Yao people, as long as they accept government registration.
News from down the mountain came from time to time, making the chieftains trapped in the mountain increasingly restless.
All the wealth they have accumulated over the generations has been wiped out. How can they endure it?
Feeling that everyone was about to move, Lin Dansan could not forcefully suppress it. Moreover, he also had a premonition that if the situation continued like this, they might be the first to be unable to hold on.
"The National Defense Forces spread their forces everywhere, which is a taboo for military strategists. Guixian in the south only has 3,000 troops. If we take advantage of the opportunity to attack at night, we will definitely win in one battle and break the siege of the National Defense Forces."
None of the chieftains had any ideas, so of course they would be happy to have someone take the lead.
So under the leadership of Lin Dansan, the chieftains gathered more than 7,000 wolf soldiers and moved toward Guixian overnight.
On the way, their traces were discovered by the special forces and quickly passed back.
Stationed in Guixian is Pan Changsuo, the military commander of the 15th Division.
When the military news came, all the generals were excited and ready to show off their skills.
Pan Changsuo has a different view.
"These days, the land reform has not been going smoothly. There are not only ethnic differences but also language differences. In short, the local people are still afraid of those chieftains, and the relationship between them is closer than us.
If we don't change this situation, we won't be able to get the support of the people and we won't be able to achieve our goal of dividing them."
"Military Government, do you have any good ideas?"
Pan Changsuo knew that his method was cruel, but for the sake of the overall situation, it was not impossible to do it.
"After passing the order, Watangdu discovered the enemy situation, and the entire army was dispatched to suppress the bandits."
Everyone was shocked by this decision.
"Military and political affairs, if we leave, your county will not be fortified."
Pan Changsuo's face was grim.
"Wouldn't that be just right? Let's give the stage to those chieftains. If we don't let them lose the people's support, where will we have any chance?"
Everyone understands.
The policies implemented by the empire were unique in thousands of years and completely changed the social form. Many people found it difficult to adapt to this change and developed resistance.
Especially since Guangxi is located in the southwest and is far away from the core area of the empire, the people here have very little understanding of the empire.
Coupled with the continuing ethnic conflicts, the Zhuang and Yao people, who accounted for the larger population here, were full of distrust of the empire.
Under such circumstances, finding a way to put class contradictions above national contradictions is the key to the empire winning the hearts and minds of the people.
Now the chieftains are trapped on the mountain and have no idea about the situation down the mountain.
Based on the limited information they knew, they must have believed that the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain had robbed their land and property.
This will inevitably arouse the murderous intention of the chieftain, and he will sacrifice his butcher knife to the people.
However, such killings will definitely allow more people to see the true face of the chieftains, and then they will abandon their morality and choose to join the empire.
It can be said that Pan Changsuo's strategy is tantamount to sacrificing Guixian County, but what he may gain in return is the overall situation of the entire Southwest.
Pan Changsuo is not a kind person, he can make up his mind even when he should be cold-blooded.
After all, although Zuo Menggeng has been teaching the officials and generals of the empire with the values of later generations, traces of this era still remain on their bodies.
But at this time, Pan Changsuo's approach was very consistent with the reality of Guangxi.
If Zuo Mengeng knew, it would be hard to say anything.
In the evening of the same day, Pan Changsuo led the National Defense Forces to leave Guixian County in the name of suppressing bandits. A huge city was completely left to the chieftain wolf soldiers who rushed at them at great speed.
In the middle of the night, the wolf soldiers rushed into the county town ferociously, but no trace of the National Defense Forces was found.
And those chieftains who suffered heavy losses unsurprisingly turned their butcher knives on innocent people.
That night, Guixian was filled with blood and fire, turning the city into a hell on earth.
The news spread quickly, and people everywhere were frightened.
Since those chieftains were able to slaughter everyone in your county, they would naturally treat them in the same way.
And looking around, the only one who can protect the safety of the people is the National Defense Force.
At a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, the people's position quickly changed and they completely threw themselves into the arms of the empire.
Not only did they begin to accept the empire's policies, but they also began to act as the eyes of the Wehrmacht, providing very detailed intelligence to the Wehrmacht.
At this point, those stubborn and conservative chieftains have no chance of survival.
With detailed intelligence in hand, Yan Hongshan began to direct the National Defense Forces to launch an attack into the Dadeng Gorge mountains.
"In this battle, we should not think about winning in one battle, but rather like peeling an onion, weakening the enemy bit by bit from all directions. There are so many toasts on the mountain, and we will definitely not be able to unite as one. When the situation is dangerous, we must
There will be people who are half-hearted. We just need to keep applying pressure, leave them room for internal strife, and finally reap the fruits."
Following this operational principle, the Wehrmacht's attack was slow and steady, attacking bit by bit, constantly shrinking the encirclement.
But if this happens, the chieftains on the mountain will feel uncomfortable.
They couldn't find any chance to counterattack, and could only watch the territory they occupied shrinking.
This kind of tight-kneading style of play brought huge pressure to the people on the mountain.
