Section 57 Pulling weeds
Of course, Wufeng didn't know that when he secretly returned to Longdong, such a terrifying incident would occur in his nominal convoy. At this moment, he had already squeezed into two carriages with several women beside him and returned to Longdong from the fork. When he was staying in the Lingguan Hall of Dong Kongtong at night, Wufeng obtained news from the inside line among the high-level Taiping Sect. The Taiping Sect has listed Wufeng as the most dangerous enemy, even surpassing anyone, and taking various means to assassinate Wufeng has become one of the best choices, and a plan is about to be implemented. This is the top-secret information that Wufeng arranged to be obtained by the inside line of the highest-level Taiping Sect to work hard to obtain. It must attract the attention of the Northwest Security Bureau and the Guard. Wufeng's whereabouts arrangements have to be made accordingly.
The Northwest Prefectures implemented strict cleanup from the beginning. In addition, the Taiping Cult had no foundation in the Northwest Prefectures. Later, it was repeatedly swept and cleared by the Northwest Security Bureau and the internal departments of each prefecture. Even the Taiping Cult itself had to admit that the Taiping Cult could take root and sprout in any part of the empire, but the northwest could not penetrate, so Wufeng didn't believe that he would be assassinated in the northwest, but this area where Wufeng inspected Longdong and Tian.
Water is a region with strong Taiping Cult. Even though the occupation of these two places has been completed in military and political terms, the potential forces left over the Taiping Cult over the years cannot be eliminated in three to five days, especially in Longdong, which was originally a severely affected area of Taiping Cult. And it was openly controlled by Taiping Cult for so long. The hidden forces of Taiping Cult have been deeply rooted, so even at the most critical moment, Liang Chongxin dared not easily relax his control over Longdong.
Wufeng's trip to Tianshui in Longdong this time can be hidden from ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible for those interested people who have been staring at Wufeng's whereabouts, especially Wufeng, who has no intention of hiding traces, the travel of a few women is the most obvious goal. Then the best area for Taiping Cult to take action is in Longdong and Tianshui. Ordinary assassination is no longer easy to achieve practical results, especially after Wufeng reorganized his own guards on a large scale, a large number of martial arts masters entered the guards after being tested for loyalty. From the Snow Mountain Sect, the Bashan Gu Family, the Liuhemen to the Daxiangguo Temple and the Qingye Sect, many people with rich experience and different abilities are surrounded by Wufeng. There is no hope of assassinating Wufeng with personal abilities. Taking special methods and methods to take a fatal blow has become the only choice.
When Liang Chongxin saw the multi-arm catapult car and portable crossbow, he knew that this assassination was definitely not as simple as a murder of the Taiping Cult. It was obvious that the Kamans participated in this matter and played a considerable role. Whether it was a portable crossbow car or a multi-arm catapult car, it was not something that Taiping Cult could have based on human power. This kind of high-quality military technology can not be equipped even in the northwest. It is absolutely impossible for Taiping Cult to develop and produce it on its own, especially the multi-arm catapult car. Although the range is slightly worse than that of large catapults, if you choose a suitable location, you can still reach the limit distance of 300 meters, and its accuracy is obviously quite high. This is probably considered a high-end product in the Kaman Empire.
Of course, if these things are to be arranged calmly in Tianshui, the Kaman people will never have the ability. Whether it is transportation, loading, unloading and installing such things, it will also attract attention. Moreover, it can be done in just ten days. It has taken a lot of effort from the Kaman people and the Taiping Cult. The powerful potential forces of the Taiping Cult in these newly occupied areas have been proved once again. The perfect one-stop plan has been used for no amount of manpower and material resources. The systematic project fully proves how rampant the Taiping Cult is here. It’s a pity that the success and failure have been achieved. Wufeng’s vigilance has failed such an excellent plan and has also accompanied dozens of lives in vain.
Until he returned to the city, Liang Chongxin was still recalling the tragic and terrifying scene at that time. The death of dozens of soldiers on the spot made Liang Chongxin angry and no longer cared about anything else. If this kind of thing really happened on the way back to Longdong, he had cold sweat on his back and didn't know what consequences would happen. Liang Chongxin, who was calm by nature, did not hesitate to reach a compromise with the Kongtong Sect that hit it off without hesitation and mobilized all the power in his hands.
An unprecedented purge of Tianshui and Longdong was launched. Until many years later, the remnants of Taiping Cult, who surrendered to Wufeng, were already resentful of this unforgettable massacre. They gathered various forces to continue to attack Liang Chongxin, asking Wufeng to give Liang Chongxin the punishment he deserved to atone for their loyalty to Li Wufeng. This also became a gap that the Taiping forces and the old Northwest forces in the military of the glorious empire will never be able to make.
After three days of preparation, the elite troops of the five divisions, with the full cooperation of the internal departments of the Tianshui Prefectures in Longdong, the Northwest Security Bureau and the Kongtong Sect, launched a code-named "Tearing Weeds" cleansing operation in the two prefectures. This was also the first time that the regular army was used to participate in the purge of civil rebellious forces in the territory under Wufeng's control. With the strong support of the Kongtong Sect, the disadvantages of the internal departments and the Security Bureau system were greatly improved, and countless families were uprooted overnight, even
The entire village disappeared overnight, and the bloody storm that came overwhelmed even the gentry and businessmen in the northwest who supported the empire and were in good faith were extremely frightened. Whether it was the cross streets of the market town or the gates of the city, the hanging heads had increased by several times. The wild dogs in the suburbs and vultures in the wilderness sky became the best beneficiaries. The eyes of the wild dogs in groups were even red and purple. In the words of the elderly, it was because they ate too much.
The worries and fears of the gentry and businessmen quickly spread to all classes, and almost everyone was always full of fear and stared at the sudden purge or massacre. Seeing the rolling heads falling to the ground, many people who were proud of their relationship with the empire and the northwest had to bite the bullet and find the people in power to get a satisfactory explanation. However, when the truth of the water assassination case was made public that day, almost all those who had complaints kept silent. Thinking that this murder directly against Li Wufeng was no different from the act of rebellion, which was unacceptable to any person in power, and they also used military standard weapons, which fully demonstrated the rampant hostile forces. If a big move like a thunder-sweeping cave was not enough to solve the substantial problem ("Northwest Star" quote).
However, when Wufeng was cleansing, there was an infinite expansion trend. It was already time for Wufeng to return to Qingyang. It was when Qingyang City Guard Molun criticized Wufeng as a private identity. Wufeng then knew that such a large-scale iron-blooded storm occurred in the two military controlled areas of Longdong and Tianshui. Of course, Wufeng knew about the assassination incident at the first time.
Moron's suggestion to Wufeng in his private capacity should be pertinent. Purging the storm is a necessary means to eradicate hostile forces in his own ruling areas, but infinite expansion will hurt the interests of all classes and easily make the forces that originally attached to the northwest feel scared. Using regular army to clear them will also be criticized. This should have been the responsibilities of local security forces and security internal affairs departments unless an open rebellion occurs.
However, Wufeng seemed to have no energy to pay attention to this matter at this time. Since the matter had already happened, it was only possible to follow Liang Chongxin's on-site decision. Wufeng did not want to interfere in the actions of the military chief of the two places. Some things were too much, although there would be some side effects, they would have a deterrent effect that was difficult to achieve by other means. This might have an unexpected deterrent effect in Longdong, Tianshui and even around Lu Longxikang.
The situation in the Central Plains seemed to be vaguely changing. Situ Lang dared to change the ancestral system and added two regular army corps and immediately put them into practice. This made Wufeng feel that the situation in the central government of the empire was one to rise. Situ Yuan even came out with a strong force and openly asked Situ Lang, who was in charge of the country, to agree to add an army corps in the Jiangnan region, and to create public opinion that he wanted to cook raw rice into a cooked rice. The public opinion in Jiangnan was also excited and he actively donated money and materials. If this situation develops, Situ Tai and Situ Jun would not sit still and wait for death. They would have to follow suit. The nationwide expansion of the army has become a foregone conclusion.
In this situation, Wufeng is also in trouble. If Wufeng intervenes in the Central Plains war at this time, he will be afraid that there are fewer advantages and more disadvantages, which will not be much beneficial to his own power. The situation in his territory is not optimistic, especially in Longdong and Tianshui. The countries in the Western Regions still have many hidden dangers. Although King Haybal of Loulan surrendered on the surface and even sent his son to Qingyang to study, Wufeng always suspected that this old fox adopted the strategy of retreating to advance in exchange for his carelessness. The cooperation of Huanfeng Sect also encountered difficulties in Loulan.
