266 The Wounded is Always a Gentleman
Lin Dengwan did not attack ordinary Han people mainly because they didn't have much oil and water to squeeze out, and there was no benefit except that they made the Semu Brotherhood the blacklist of the Ming court's first target of extermination.
But killing Han gentry is different. The main thing that oppresses and exploits Seme serfs is them. Killing them can gain the support of most Seme serfs.
Under the leadership of Lindenwan, the Semu Brotherhood clearly divided the labor. A small part of the Semu Brotherhood plundered the wealth and weapons of the city of Khotan, and most of them were transferred out to capture counties, towns and villages, liberating Semu serfs!
In this case, the number of people in the Seme Brotherhood expanded like a snowball, and the liberated Seme serfs were pulled into the team regardless of whether they wanted to do so!
When the garrisons in the city of Khotan came to their senses, the Seme Brotherhood they faced was no longer ten times more than themselves, but thirty times more than themselves!
Because the garrison army has a total of less than a thousand people...
Interestingly, even though he had a thirty times the advantage of military strength, Lin Dengwan still did not personally lead the main force to fight against the garrison troops that were attacking. Instead, he was said to have sent several partial divisions to harass the garrison troops' rations, giving full play to the advantage of the number of people.
In this way, the Semu Brotherhood actually persisted for more than a month!
The loss of the city of Khotan for a month greatly inspired the ambitious people in the entire Western Regions. All the places launched a large uprising of Semu Renren. One after another, the group of Semu Renren uprising troops were suppressed like slaughtered by local garrison corps!
However, there were too many serfs in Semu. Holding one end and the other end started to rise again. The scale of suppression became larger and larger. The garrisons ran back and forth, resulting in frequent defensive lines in various places. The fewer the rebels in Semu, the more!
Among them, the Han gentry ushered in disastrous revenge. Compared with the imperial government, the Seme serfs hated the Han gentry who directly oppressed them more. As long as an uprising broke out, the Han gentry will basically be killed by the angry Seme gentry rebel army...
But the imperial government was too busy to take care of itself, so naturally there was no way to protect the Han gentry.
In fact, after the Semu Renmin University Uprising, the few Han people in the Western Regions had quickly completed the national mobilization, which was all due to the central court cabinet. The Minister of the Army formulated a detailed Han mobilization plan as early as the peacetime period.
In the Western Regions where the Han people were few, only in this way can we maintain the basic structure when the crisis comes.
This mobilization mechanism was originally intended to prevent foreign invasions during Richard's personal expedition, but unexpectedly it was used in the Semu National People's Congress uprising.
During the Semu Renmin Uprising, the Tufan people played a crucial role.
The Tufan tribes can be seen in almost every large-scale Semi-rebellion army. Compared with Semi-serfs, the Tufan tribes who have experienced the Tufan civil war are obviously better at combat effectiveness.
This is also the reason why the Semu Renmin Uprising was not extinguished immediately.
Under Lin Dengwan, the largest rebel army in the Western Regions, there is an elite force composed of Tufan people. This elite force is the capital used by Lin Dengwan to fight against the garrison army!
Although Lindenwan has been joining the group with Lasemen, he is actually very clear about how bad the combat power of the Sememen serf is. He just wants to strengthen the momentum and give himself more capital.
A month after the offensive and defensive battle in the city of Khotan, because the only lost city of Khotan City had too bad political influence, the cabinet personally ordered the dispatch of more than 2,000 garrison troops to assist the garrison troops in the city of Khotan City to siege the city of Khotan City.
However, it was just such a few people who scared Lindenwan away...
It was not to scare away, but Linden Wan personally led the elite of the Seme Brotherhood and some of the young and strong men who could fight the Seme Brotherhood left, under the banner of liberating the Seme serfs in other regions.
He left the original local gangsters and tens of thousands of serfs to guard the city and acted as a target to attract the Ming army's garrison.
Facts have proved that Lin Dengwan's move was very useful. Although there were more people in the city, they were broken into the city in less than a week!
The left-behind leadership among them is the veterans of the Seme Brotherhood who can pose a threat to Lin Dengwan. After the Ming army broke through the city, they launched a bloody massacre, helping Lin Dengwan to clean up the internal enemy well...
Although the departing Linden's ten thousand troops shrank to less than 10,000, his cohesion has increased a lot!
Moreover, because the relatives of these people were all slaughtered by the Ming army after the city of Yutian were destroyed, the determination of this armed force to fight against the Ming Dynasty was even stronger!
In this way, Lin Dengwan has a group of real confidants, who have evolved from a gang organization to a serious uprising army.
Compared with Lin Dengwan's successful transformation, uprisings in other regions seem to be very vague. One thousand people defeated tens of thousands of rebels everywhere. This time, the central cabinet launched bloody revenge because a large number of Han gentry were slaughtered.
The Seme serfs who directly participated in the rebellion were all implicated in the nine tribes, and those who were threatened were demoted to slaves and died soldiers, acting as vanguard cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Because the Serme serfs were too severely oppressed and the suppression was too strong, although one after another of the Serme serfs was wiped out, Lin Dengwan, who became a bandit rebel army, kept fighting guerrilla warfare with the garrison army, and his team would expand several times at a time.
Then Lin Dengwan used the Ming army to encircle and eliminate dissidents, and used his cruel "defeat" to train a war-capable soldier to travel around the world.
However, compared to Lin Dengwan's actions of letting ordinary Han people go, the other Semu rebels' indiscriminate massacre of the Han people was obviously even more hated by the court. This is why Lin Deng Wanneng has been alive.
There were too many hatred-attracting rebels in front of them, which made the Ming court use their main forces to suppress other rebels.
Lin Dengwan's bandit-style battle was not a purposeless strategic shift, but was heading westward.
Because Lin Dengwan knew that the northwest to the east had been pacified by Richard, he was trying to die when he went east.
Moreover, the population of Han people east of the Pamir Mountains in the Western Region is far greater than that of the Pamir Mountains, and the pressure to go westward can be relatively smaller.
In this way, there was no Semu uprising army, including Lin Dengwan, able to break through the big city. Although local uprisings continued, the Ming army's garrison army always had an absolute advantage. The only shortcoming was that the garrison army was fighting less and less, and the Ming court's central cabinet did not supplement it.
The Han recruits mobilized by the whole nation were formed by Qi Jiguang, and they had no intention of replenishing the garrison army at all. Instead, they repeatedly sent the garrison army to the most tragic front line to suppress the rebels!
The Semu Renmin University Uprising did not shake much of the foundation of the rule of the Ming court, and the biggest losses were the local Han gentry class.
