From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 266: It's always the gentry who gets hurt

Lin Dengwan didn't attack the ordinary Han people mainly because they didn't have much oil and water to squeeze, and killing them all had no benefit except for making the Semu Brotherhood the first blacklist of the Ming court's target of annihilation.

But killing Han gentry is different. They are the main people who oppress and exploit Semu serfs. Killing them can get the support of most Semu serfs.

Under the leadership of Lin Dengwan, the Semu Brotherhood has a clear division of labor. A small part of the wealth and ordnance in Khotan City has been raided, and most of them are transferred out to capture the counties and villages to liberate the Semu serfs!

Under this circumstance, the number of the Semu Brotherhood swelled like a snowball, and the liberated Semu serfs were drawn into the ranks whether they wanted it or not!

When the garrison of Khotan City came back to their senses, the Semu Brotherhood they faced was no longer ten times that of themselves, but thirty times that of themselves!

Because the garrison has less than a thousand people...

What's interesting is that even with 30 times the strength of the army, Lin Tengwan still did not lead the main force to confront the attacking garrison. On the contrary, he allegedly sent several partial divisions to harass the garrison road and gave full play to the numbers. Advantage.

In this way, the Semu Brotherhood actually persisted for more than a month!

The loss of Khotan City for a month greatly encouraged the careerists in the entire Western Regions. The Semu People's Great Rebellion started in various places, and waves of Semu rebels were generally suppressed by the local defense corps!

However, there were too many Semu serfs, holding one end and the other rose again. The scale of suppression was getting bigger and bigger, and the garrison rushed back and forth, resulting in frequent loss of defense lines in various places. On the contrary, the Semu rebels became fewer and more!

Among them, the Han gentry ushered in catastrophic revenge. Compared with the imperial government, the Semu serfs hated the Han gentry who directly oppressed them. As long as an uprising broke out, the Han gentry would basically be killed by the furious Semu rebels...

It's just that the court officials are too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally there is no way to protect the Han gentry.

In fact, after the Semu National People's Congress uprising, the few Han people in the Western Regions have quickly completed the national mobilization. This is the contribution of the Central Court cabinet. The Secretary of the Army formulated a detailed Han mobilization plan as early as peacetime.

In the Western Regions where there are few Han people, this is the only way to maintain the basic market when the crisis comes.

This set of mobilization mechanism was originally used to guard against foreign invasions during Richard's personal expedition, but unexpectedly it was used in the Semu People's Congress uprising.

In the Semu National People's Congress uprising, the Turfans played a vital role.

Tufan people can be seen in almost every large-scale Semu uprising army. Compared with Semu serfs, the Tufan people who have experienced the Tufan civil war are obviously better in combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why the Semu National People's Congress uprising was not immediately extinguished.

Under Lin Dengwan, which is also the largest group of secular rebels in the Western Regions, there is an elite composed entirely of Tufan tribesmen. This elite is the capital that Lin Dengwan uses to fight against the garrison!

Regardless of how Lin Denwan has been joining the Rasemites, he actually knew how bad the fighting power of the Semu serfs was. The purpose of pulling guys was to increase their momentum and at the same time to have more capital.

One month after the offensive and defensive battle of Khotan City was fought, because the only big city that was lost, the cabinet had too bad political influence. The cabinet personally ordered the deployment of more than 2,000 garrisons to assist the Khotan City garrison to besiege Khotan City. .

However, it was just such a few people that scared Lin Denwan away...

It wasn't a scare away, but Linden Wanqin led the elite of the Semu Brotherhood and a part of the young and strong Semu Brotherhood to leave, in the name of liberating the Semu serfs from other areas.

The original local ruffian hooligans and the serfs of the Wansemu people stayed in the city and served as targets to attract the Ming garrison.

Facts have proved that Lin Dengwan's trick to get rid of the shell is very useful. Although more people stayed in the city, they were broken in less than a week!

Among them, the left-behind leaders are all veterans of the Brotherhood of Semu who can pose a threat to Lin Dengwan. After the Ming army broke the city, they carried out a **** massacre and helped Lin Dengwan clean out the internal enemies...

Although the strength of the departed Linden Wan has shrunk to less than 10,000, his cohesion has increased a lot!

And because the relatives of these people were slaughtered by the Ming army after the city of Yutian was broken, this strengthened the determination of this armed force to fight against the Ming Dynasty!

In this way, Linden Wan can be regarded as possessing a group of true henchmen, evolving from a gang organization to an upright rebel army.

Compared with Lin Denwan's successful transformation, the uprisings in other regions are quite trivial. Thousands of people defeated the Yijun army abound. This time the Central Cabinet launched **** revenge for the massacre of a large number of Han Chinese gentry.

The Semu serfs who directly participated in the rebellion were all linked to the nine tribes, and the retorts were relegated to slaves and dead soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to act as forward cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The oppression of the Semu serfs was too severe and the suppression pressure was too strong. Although one after another Semu rebels were wiped out, Linden Wan, who became a gangster rebel army, has been fighting guerrillas with the garrison. Everywhere they go, they will be guerrillas. Several times the expansion.

Then Lin Dengwan used the Ming army to encircle and eliminate the dissidents, and used the cruel "defeat" experience to create a warrior who moved around.

However, compared with Lin Dengwan's act of letting go of ordinary Han people, the indiscriminate massacre of Han Chinese by other rebels was obviously more hated by the court. This is why Lin Deng Wanneng has been alive.

There were too many rebels in front of them that attracted hatred, which made Ming Ting use the main force to suppress other rebels.

And Lin Dengwan's rogue warfare was not an aimless strategic shift, but went all the way to the west.

Because Lin Dengwan knew that the Great Northwest to the east had already been settled by Richard, going east would be dead.

Moreover, the population of Han people in the east of Congling in the Western Regions far exceeds that in the west of Congling, and the resistance to the west can be relatively small.

In this way, including Linden Wan, there is no Semu rebel army that can break through the big city. Although local uprisings continue, the Ming army’s garrison always has an absolute advantage. The only shortcoming is that the garrison is fighting less and less. The Ming Court Central Cabinet It has not been supplemented either.

The Han recruits mobilized by the whole people were separately formed by Qi Jiguang to form a new army. There was no intention to supplement the garrison. Instead, the garrison was repeatedly sent to the most tragic front line to suppress the rebels!

The Semu National People's Congress uprising did not shake the foundation of the Ming court too much, and it was the local Han gentry that suffered the most.

If Richard was to disarm the gentry class of the Han gentry in the Western Regions at the beginning, it was the rule of disarming and showdown taxation, but the Semu uprising was to directly wipe this class from the imperial rule!
