What Xiao Yue saw along the way was frightening. If it was in the Central Plains, the common people would have risen up and rebelled long ago.But these peasants in western Tibet insisted on enduring it in order to have a good birth in the next life.
After learning about the local situation, Xiao Yue made up his mind to wipe out all these man-eating serf owners and turn Tibet into the most consolidated part of the ruling dynasty in the Central Plains.
So Xiao Yue followed his own mind and began to transform the places he passed.
Every time Xiao Yue went to a place, all the upper-level slave owners were killed, and for the living Buddhas in those temples, they were forced to reincarnate.
As for the vacated land, Xiao Yue distributed it to the serfs according to their heads.
And promised these serfs that as long as they pay taxes to the country on time in the future, all other income will belong to them.
Xiao Yue's policy quickly won the support of the majority of the lower classes. These miserable serfs have already regarded Xiao Yue as a living Buddha.
Therefore, there was an endless stream of serfs who came to join the army, and Xiao Yue naturally couldn't accept these people who came to join the army. Their army had undergone rigorous training, and these serfs would only add to the chaos.
However, Jirigala, the leader of the Eight Banners, disagreed with Xiao Yue's opinion. He raised two objections.
First, these serfs were all born and raised in western Tibet, and some of them could even survive overnight in the heavy snow. They naturally had a way of surviving on the plateau in western Tibet, and with them they could greatly reduce the non-combat casualties of the troops.
Second, although these serfs cannot fight, the yaks and other livestock they brought can help the troops transport food and supplies.
Third, the army of the Central Plains lacked guides when they entered Tibet. These herdsmen have lived in western Tibet for many years. If they are the guides, they will know where the water source is and where the valley is. It is not easy to march. Attacking Tibet has a very good effect.
After thinking about it for a few days, Xiao Yue felt that Jirigala's idea was very good. In the past, he only thought about marching to quickly reduce casualties, but he didn't think so much.
So on the second day, Xiao Yue allowed these serfs to accompany the army, to help the army transport food and grass, act as guides, and help the army spend the night in the wilderness of western Tibet.
With the help of these serfs, Xiao Yue's army had a significant reduction in non-combat attrition in the following days, and the marching speed was much faster than before.
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xiao Yue's army finally arrived near Nagqu.
The army of Lurong Dengba Rinpoche has been waiting here for several months. At the beginning, they were still in full swing, but as time went by, these people gradually slacked off and started to run amok nearby.
By the time of the Spring Festival in the Central Plains, the army, which was originally a whole number, has now herded sheep. Even the commander of this army, Si Lang Jiangcuo, is indulging in laughter every day.
When Si Lang Jiangcuo got the news that the Central Plains army had arrived nearby, he suddenly woke up.
So the commander immediately summoned his generals to organize the defense in a hurry.At the same time, he ordered the serfs under his command to strengthen the defense of the city wall.As a result, this order ruined his life.
It turned out that among these serfs, there were former serfs sent by Xiao Yue. As soon as these people arrived in this thick center, they began to publicize the benevolence of the Central Plains troops and their division of fields.
Listen to these serfs who have not yet been liberated, people who used to be treated as cattle and horses like themselves, now they are also divided into fields. The envy in their hearts is false, so grass began to grow one by one.
This time, Silang ordered these serfs to strengthen the defense on the city wall, and the delivery of supplies just gave them a chance.
After all the western Tibetan soldiers fell asleep in the middle of the night, these serfs suddenly assembled hundreds of people and rushed to the gate of the city, hacking and killing all the guarding soldiers who were still dozing off.
After that, he quietly opened the city gate, and Xiao Yue immediately ordered the cavalry to enter the city as preparations had been made outside the city gate.
So Xiao Yue's army rushed into Naqu City that night.
After Silang Jiangcuo got the report from his own soldiers that the Central Plains army had already entered the city, he was already frightened out of his wits. He didn't care about other people, so he turned around and went up, and wanted to escape with a few soldiers .
But he ran a bit late, and before he reached the south gate, he was blocked by cavalry from the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
These Manchu Eight Banners cavalry saw a very gorgeously dressed general among the ancients, who looked like a nobleman, so they rushed forward.
Silang lowered his measures.It's okay for these Qing soldiers to bully and bully the common people, but this time when they confronted the Eight Banners warriors, they were immediately wiped out like melons and beans.
In the end, only Silang Jiangcuo was left alone. This general looked mighty, but now he turned into a quail. When he saw that he was surrounded and all his soldiers had been killed, it was obvious. He was covered in blood, and he was terrified a long time ago.
So Si Lang Jiangcuo knelt down on the ground without waiting for the opponent to approach, "Masters of the Central Plains, I am the commander in chief of Naqu City, I am willing to surrender, and please spare my life."
As soon as these Eight Banners soldiers heard that this man was the commander in Naqu City, they naturally gave up the idea of beheading him immediately, rushed up and tied up this big man, and happily went to the rear to find their commander to repay their merits.
It was not until the second day that the whole Naqucheng calmed down and Xiao Yue entered Naqu with his troops before he got the news that Si Lang Jiangcuo, the commander of Naqu City, had been captured alive.
For this person, Xiao Yue didn't take this person seriously, because now he didn't lack guides, and he had already made up his mind to wipe out all the upper-class figures in western Tibet, so it wouldn't be of much use to keep him.
So he immediately ordered this person to be beheaded for public display.
Next, Xiao Yue ordered to rectify the law and order in Nagqu City, and then redistribute the wealth in Nagqu City according to the original policy.
Those who did small businesses naturally did not commit any crimes, but for those big landlords, big serf owners, and living Buddhas in temples, bloody cleansing was carried out.
Only when these people are cleaned, can the serfs at the bottom be able to safely accept the fields allocated to them. Otherwise, these people will be terrified, thinking that these nobles will come back, and dare not take refuge easily.
Chapter 790 Surrender
At this time, Luorong Dengba in Lhasa, after receiving the news that Nagqu had been captured by soldiers from the Central Plains, immediately became distraught.
You must know that the distance from Nagqu to Lhasa is almost invincible. As long as the Central Plains soldiers get Nagqu, they will soon reach the city of Lhasa.
Lurong Dengba himself is a master of six gods, but he still has a few smart people under his command. All these people think that Western Tibet cannot stop the attack of the Central Plains people.
Now there are two roads in front of them, one is to continue to resist, if they are not opponents, they will retreat steadily, and finally retreat to the snow mountain to fend for themselves.
The second is to surrender immediately in exchange for the forgiveness of the Central Plains people, even if you can't save your property in the end, your own life will be fine.
After weighing the pros and cons, these people feel that the first is a dead end. They are all pampered and fled to the Daxue Mountain. In that harsh environment, there are no beauties and wine, and they have to fight against nature. I'd rather die.
Only Article 2, although they heard that the Central Plains people came all the way, killed all the nobles and living Buddhas, and distributed the land to the farmers.
But as long as I surrender in advance, the other party has no reason, so I will kill all my people. Otherwise, whoever dares to surrender in the future will lose the land at most. However, I heard that the Central Plains people do not have any occupation of the shops. Shops in the city of Lhasa can also live a carefree life.
After discussing together, these people spoke to the living Buddha Lurong Dengba, asking the living Buddha to go in person and surrender in the Central Plains army for the sake of the people's lives.
When the living Buddha Lurong Dengba saw this situation, he was annoyed at that time. When we were going to fight against the Central Plains, you were the ones who came up with the idea. You pushed me out. Now when I am in a dilemma, you make me surrender again , what is the reason?
So the living Buddha Lurong Dengba immediately became angry and ordered the soldiers to put all those who came to persuade them in prisons, and after listening to them, the living Buddha ordered all the generals in the voice to discuss the matter together.
During this meeting, the living Buddha Lurong Dengba did not follow the advice of his subordinates as before, and directly ordered all the serfs to distribute weapons and go to Lhasa city to defend the city together, to fight to the death with the Central Plains people.
And the generals below looked at each other in blank dismay. They were very proud at first, but as the war continued, we realized that these subordinates of ours were simply incomparable with the soldiers of the Central Plains.
It was these people who had given up their thoughts of fighting a long time ago, and now they heard that the Living Buddha wanted them to fight to the death with the Central Plains people, and they were unwilling in their hearts.
But looking at the eyes of the living Buddha sitting on it, his eyes were already red and his teeth were gritted, he knew that if someone dared to object, he might not be able to leave this hall alive.
So these people had no choice but to kneel down against their will and praise Lurong Dengpa Rinpoche together.
Lurong Dengba Living Buddha was satisfied with this, and then ordered them to go out immediately to rectify the troops and strengthen their defenses, so that Lhasa City must not fall into the hands of the Central Plains people.
After the generals left the main hall, they each had their own calculations in their minds. If they said they were going to fight, they would not be able to beat the Central Plains people, but if they were going to give up resistance, the Living Buddha stared at them again.
So these people started to join forces in secret again. This time they didn't want to persuade the Living Buddha, but they wanted to lead the army to imprison the Living Buddha Lurong Dengba, and then surrender to the Central Plains people.
If it is something like imprisoning the living Buddha, the nobles in western Tibet have done it not once or twice. As long as the living Buddha is not killed, it will be nothing in the end.
