At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

chapter 1610 one thousand 530 this protracted security war is finally over

Wei Jun used the flames to burn Montenegro for three days and three nights with absolute material reserves and strong belief.

During the period, due to the change of the wind direction, Wei Jun had to switch positions to the preset position, continue to launch long-range attacks, and continue to use the super skills of burning flames.

After three days like this, there was a muffled thunder, and a spring rain fell from the sky.

This rain lasted all day and night. The spring rain extinguished the raging flames, but it did not bring any hope of spring to the Montenegrin rebels in the mountains.

After the sky cleared up on the second day, the Wei army entered the mountain fully armed to eliminate the remaining Black Mountain bandits, broke them into pieces, and entered the Black Mountain in a tactical team mode, and dealt with them while searching and arranging. Wherever they went, except for the charred corpses, buildings remains of things.

Because the smell is too pungent, soldiers need to use soaked gauze to protect their mouths and noses when entering the mountain, and carry a water bottle with them.

Guo Chengzhi went into the mountain with Guo Peng two days after the army entered the mountain to eliminate the bandits. He was deeply shocked to see the traces of the fire and the charred bodies that were too late to deal with.

What others describe, write and describe, is not as shocking as seeing with one's own eyes after all.

He began to understand why Guo Peng said that he didn't want to go to the second battle after he went to the battlefield once.

so cruel.

If the battlefield is like this, Guo Chengzhi really doesn't want to see it for the second time.

Along the way, not only the thieves who were burned to death, but also the thieves who were roasted to death, or those who had no way to escape and suffocated to death while hiding in caves, their death conditions were extremely miserable.

After Guo Chengzhi glanced at it, he didn't dare to take a second look.

Later, news came from the front that a group of thieves ran to the top of the mountain to survive and resisted. They were all killed and beheaded by the advance team that set out earlier. Apart from this, no survivors have been found so far.

Wei Jun searched for several days on the mountain road, but only found less than a hundred survivors, men, women, old and children. They were lucky to hide in a cave where the flames did not reach, and they were not roasted to death or burned to death. Suffocate.

Despite their attempts to surrender, Li Qian ordered them all to be beheaded.

Those who stubbornly resisted to the end, those who caused the loss of more than 1000 lives to the Wei army in a few years, are not eligible to be forgiven.

All the people on this mountain are going to die, and there is no way they will survive.

This was announced by Li Qian to the whole army before he set off, and the whole Montenegro was left alone.

In the literal sense, chickens and dogs don't stay.

Wei Jun broke up into parts and formed a tactical team to go deep into the mountains and forests to search for the thieves, just to wipe them out, the kind that would go up to make up the knife when they saw unburnt corpses.

Wei Jun wants to use this fire and this victory to warn all those who surrendered before but had more or less unreasonable thoughts in their hearts, who has the final say here.

In order to further achieve deterrence, Li Qian also ordered to collect the heads of the Montenegro rebels, and prepared to take them back to Zhujingguan.

Tian Feng is in charge of Huairou, so he has to be responsible for killing, suppressing with one hand and soothing with the other, in order to stabilize the situation in Yunzhou before completely assimilating, and prevent the rebellion from happening again.

Not all people in Yunzhou decided to rebel against the Wei Empire, and there were many who surrendered voluntarily. They still had a certain strength, and they should not be made to feel that the Wei Empire could not deal with these people, lest they would have dissent.

Years of wars in Yunzhou have also consumed too much material and financial budget of the Wei Empire. The final end of this war will undoubtedly give a sigh of relief to the tight finances of the Wei Empire.

After the Great War, the imperial garrison does not need to be maintained at a quota of [-] to [-] for many years, but can be maintained at a scale of [-] to [-], and the remaining troops can be invested where needed.

The military pressure on the main artery of the Shu Road does not need to be so great, and a considerable part of the transportation volume can be released for private commercial activities to help develop the economies of Yunzhou and Yizhou.

In every sense, this is a very good thing.

Of course, it's not a good thing for the military.

There is one less training ground and one less base for obtaining military exploits. If it weren't for the Wei Empire's strict control over the generals, it is unknown how long this war will last.

After all, the war and the transportation of a large amount of materials back and forth gave countless officials room to make use of it. If you touch it casually, it will be bloody money.

For local generals and officials, what do they earn when the battle is over?

That is to say, the military system of the Wei Empire limited the real power of generals and local officials, making them unable to fight against the central government, and they could not use war to "raise the bandits for self-respect".

An army must not be organized to fight an enemy in a fixed area for a long time. Over time, the army will develop some strange tacit understandings with the local enemy, and some strange businessmen will gain a lot of benefits around the war. Get into tacit mode.

In the end, it will be very difficult to end this war.

At the end of February in the third year of Xingyuan, this protracted public security war finally came to an end.

The Yunzhou separatist forces represented by the Yongchang rebels were completely suppressed, and the Wei army finally won.

Over the past few years, 500 soldiers of the Wei army have been killed and tens of thousands injured. They have been actively attacked by local rebel tribal forces in Yunzhou hundreds of times, and the two sides have fought more than [-] times.

The Wei army has always maintained a proactive momentum, exerting huge military pressure on the local rebel forces, and gradually compressing the living space of the rebel tribes entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests by burning oil tanks with fierce fire.

The Wei army cut down trees everywhere, opened up wasteland, built villages, and built roads, expanding and expanding the area directly controlled by the Wei Empire, gradually gaining a firm foothold in Yunzhou.

The living space of the rebel forces has been continuously compressed, and they have continued to fail, but their counterattacks have also become increasingly rampant.

Hundreds of active attacks, or fair and honest attacks, or sneaky raids and night raids, attacked and burned villages, granaries, and arsenals, killed and wounded local residents, and effectively attacked the grassroots organizations of the Wei Empire.

Hundreds of active attacks are unimaginable under their organizational model. It can be said that they were forced to evolve under the strict organizational form of the Wei Empire at the grassroots level, and developed into a relatively strict organizational form. Loose tribal alliances.

Because of such a threat, the Wei Empire set up Tuntian villages in Yunzhou as soldiers, all equipped with military equipment, farming at ordinary times, and practicing formation and fighting techniques under the leadership of instructors in a little spare time.

When encountering a rebel raid and the Wei army cannot arrive in time, the militiamen will spontaneously arm themselves to protect themselves. Their villages are built in a very military style. They rely on the fences around the village to protect themselves and fight offensive and defensive battles with the rebels. time.

After a long time, even the women in the village can use spears and shields, and ten-year-old children can use crossbows and arrows to defend their homes with their parents.

There will be a special person in the village to be in charge of vigilance. The sentry will distinguish between clear sentry and dark sentry. They will keep watch [-] hours a day. Once someone attacks, the men in the village will immediately arm themselves to fight, and the women and children will help in the battle.

The Han villages in Yunzhou are basically in a state of war.

This is true among the people and even more so among the officials.

When Tian Feng and other officials took office, they all wore helmets and armor, and took office under the protection of the army in a military style.

No way, because at that time the defense of the Wei Army-occupied area was not in place, sometimes the rebels sneaked in to assassinate, or assassinated alone, or in groups of three or four, and even 20 people pretended to be obedient civilians and mixed into the Wei Army-occupied area.

They set fire, looted, assassinated imperial officials, and caused chaos everywhere, causing many officials to be killed because they were unprepared, which posed a great threat to the local rule of the Wei Empire.

So during that time, both civil servants and generals, they wore relatively light armor and carried swords when they were in office. They would not take off their leather armor anywhere, and they had to carry armed attendants with them.

The attendants carry helmets. Once there is an emergency, the officials will immediately complete the armed counterattack on the spot. In order to protect themselves, the officials usually use knives and guns to exercise their bodies in their spare time, so as to ensure that they can defend and even counterattack when they are in danger. .

Officials and generals must bring enough guards around them to ensure their safety, but sometimes it will cause the problem of target exposure. It is quite problematic to directly point out the target to the opponent's assassin.

What the gang of Montenegrin rebels did at that time was quite terrifying, and they felt a little desperate.

Some people were even dead soldiers, and they did not surrender in the face of the siege of the Wei army. They fought to the death, which once caused great panic to the local officials.

This is the real situation in Yunzhou not long after it was established.

Later, Guo Peng ordered Yan Rou to send a considerable number of spies from the Linzi camp to go deep into Yunzhou, forming a powerful intelligence network and building a strong second front force, fighting against the opponent's assassins on the invisible front for many years.

When the confrontation between the two sides was the most intense, the Linzi Battalion was able to kill more than 200 assassins and killers sent by the other side on average every year, and it had to pay the loss of ten to twenty spies killed every year.

In addition, when the Shu Road was repaired to the southern section and went deep into the counties and counties in the south of Yunzhou, the supply of fierce fire oil tanks and thunderstorms began to stabilize. .

The living space of the rebels was continuously burned and compressed by the Wei army, and gradually moved away from the living area built by the Yunzhou government.

They were compressed into the mountains, playing hide-and-seek with the Wei army, fighting mountain offensive and defensive battles, and could no longer go deep into the Wei army-occupied area to carry out terrorist attacks.

The Wei army is different from the militiamen. They don't talk about martial arts, and they don't play close combat with them. As long as they have fierce fire oil tanks and thunderbolts, they will use them to launch attacks. Long-range strikes have caused huge deterrence and lethality to the rebels.

It can be said that the defeat of the rebel army was so miserable that they were wiped out by the Wei army within a few years without precedent.

Guo Peng even thought about it, Wei Jun walked all the way and burned so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, maybe he could delay the arrival of some small glaciers...

Chapter 1611 One thousand five hundred and thirty one Cai Yong is ill

War can be said to be the best catalyst for the development of weapons.

On such a battlefield, the accuracy and shooting distance of the counterweight trebuchet have also been greatly improved, and the explosive power of the thunderbolt has also been improved. Has explosive power in a certain sense.

Although compared with the city wall, it is only as lethal as scraping, and it cannot change the difficulty of the army's attack on the city. When encountering a general who is good at defending the city, the Wei army will still have to fight hard for a while.

But it already has a certain lethality on people.

The fierce fire oil tank has also been added with some different substances, and the deflagration range has been expanded by the group of people in the Weapons Department of the Ministry of War who specialize in researching and improving weapons and equipment. The current deflagration coverage area has more than doubled that of the original fierce fire oil tank. .

When Guo Peng went to see their demonstration results, he was really surprised for a while.

At the beginning, it was just to listen to the shocking thunder, but they really created some explosion effects, which made the explosion sound louder and more lethal.

And the fierce fire oil tank has obviously become a primitive incendiary bomb. Once it explodes, let alone the dry and wet surroundings, it can burn you up, and the lethality is particularly powerful.

With the further improvement of productivity, it is not impossible for military technology to make some leaps.

Mathematics research is also developing in response to the needs of these professional fields, and Guo Peng is not surprised at all what will happen in the future.

After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the development of productive forces can truly promote the upward development of society. Without the development of productive forces, the nature of society will be difficult to change.

Maybe Guo Peng can't see all this, but Guo Peng can't help but imagine what interesting things will happen in the future.

The security war in Yunzhou was completely over. Li Qian and Tian Feng jointly submitted a petition to Guo Jin, asking Guo Jin for credit for the officials and soldiers of the entire Yunzhou.

All the officials and soldiers in Yunzhou fell into a burst of joy. They sang and danced to celebrate their victory.

The war is over, and Yunzhou is completely safe. The road construction project that was previously limited by the military environment and could not be fully implemented can also be fully launched. It is planned to be completely completed before the middle of the year, and the two historical missions of Yunzhou will be completed together.

With such a huge contribution, all the local officials in Yunzhou, headed by Tian Feng, seemed to see the hope of entering the central government and moving forward.

Therefore, Tianfeng communicated with Manchong, and asked Manchong to cooperate with him, striving to connect the road with Yunzhou as soon as possible, so as to realize the real traffic intercommunication between the two states.

Against this background, Guo Peng bid farewell to the people in Yunzhou and headed for Jiaozhou along the difficult ancient business route, preparing to meet Man Chong whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Tian Feng and Li Gan's victory performance followed the Shu road to Luoyang at the fastest speed.

In early March, the victory news arrived in Luoyang, and Guo Jin soon learned that the victory in the security war in Yunzhou was over, and the final completion of the Shu Road was just around the corner. He was very happy.

The rebellion in Yunzhou was wiped out, the Shu Road was about to be completed, and the two projects that required a lot of financial investment were finally completed, and the tight finances of the Wei Empire could take a breather.

Finally, the matter of currency reform can be put on the agenda. After this task is completed, Guo Jin will be able to have his own achievements.

What a great achievement to complete the currency reform.

But the happy mood didn't last long, and he fell into worry again.

The reason is actually quite simple, because he got the news that Cai Yong was seriously ill.

Guo Jin thinks that Cai Yong's illness is most likely a heart disease. The so-called heart disease needs a doctor of heart medicine. Guo Jin dispatched medical experts from the Great Medical Center to show their talents, hoping that they can find a heart medicine to treat Cai Yong's condition and save Cai Yong. s life.

But the doctors of the Great Medical Center tried their best, but they couldn't find the medicine for the heart, and they couldn't stop Cai Yong from getting weaker day by day.

Cai Wan doesn't think about tea and rice, so she stays by Cai Yong's side and waits for him to eat and take medicine.

Cai Yong ate very little food, took a lot of medicine, talked less and less, and became weaker and weaker. After entering March, he could no longer get out of bed and walk freely, and had to be waited on by others for eating, drinking and toileting.

He is already 84 years old, and his health has not been very good all the time. Some people in the medical center even privately discussed that Cai Yong has reached the end of his life.

But they dare not say it publicly.

Cai Yong is the benefactor of the Supreme Emperor, and the current emperor's father-in-law, with a distinguished status, if something goes wrong, it's not just for fun.

They didn't dare to take this kind of thing lightly, and tried their best to diagnose and treat Cai Yong. They used all kinds of precious medicinal materials and supplements, but their uses were extremely limited.

Originally, Guo Jin's main task at this stage was to prepare to send his younger brother Guo Qiong to sea.

Guo Peng arrived in Yunzhou, and the news has been sent back. The next step is to arrive in Jiaozhou. Before Guo Peng set off, he made an agreement with him that when he arrived in Jiaozhou, he would send Guo Qiong to Jiaozhou.

As parents, Guo Peng and Cao Lan wanted to bid farewell to Guo Qiong for the last time, and personally send him away from Wei State to his own land of thousands of islands in the south.

So after he settled the affairs of the government, he ordered the inner court and the treasury to prepare the supplies needed to send Guo Qiong away.

With Guo Jun's experience in establishing the Western Shu Kingdom, this time I have experience in sending Guo Qiong out to establish a feudal state.

The action was much smoother, there was no more controversy, all the supplies were prepared in a uniform manner, and the troops and ships were also assembled in Jiaozhou, ready to go at any time.

Before that, Guo Jin had sent someone to explore the road in advance to learn about the local climate conditions.

It was truly a country of thousands of islands. The large and small islands were fragmented. Without ships, it would be impossible to properly manage the local area. However, it is precisely because of ships that it may be easier to manage.

Compared with land transportation, water transportation is more efficient. As long as there are enough ships, it is not afraid that the local area cannot be well controlled.

It is still very hot, rainy, and there is no shortage of water at all. You even have to consider the problem of flooding, and it feels that it is especially suitable for the development of agriculture and fishery. The vegetation is very lush. It looks like the soil is fertile and tight. If you develop it a little, it will be difficult to starve to death. people.

If you manage it seriously and work hard for decades, once this country of thousand islands develops, it will have great potential.

The explorers sent by Guo Jin described the great development potential of that area, which made Guo Jin a little bit greedy.
