Chapter 55 The real big winner
On the 29th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun Zhaotuan Tianxia: Tian Xifeng, Yang Chaodong, Yang Zhaolong, He Hanliang, Tian Feipeng, Tian Yipeng, Sun Shitai, Ma Qiansi and others rebel, followed him and beheaded at Caishikou. The rest of the people who had pardoned the death penalty were castrated as slaves or sent to Jiaofangsi, and they escaped their lives by chance.
The first major sin among the unforgivable sins is to rebel. Under this great sin, the only one who ended up with a better ending was the Yanghua Yang Xiaoli who was given to Ye Xiaotian because of the evil tastes of Emperor Wanli.
Subsequently, the court imposed anti-corrosion on the heads of Yang Yinglong and his gangsters, and immediately reported that it was in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, which was a deterrent to the chieftains of all parties.
The Yang family's foundation in Bozhou for nearly 800 years was destroyed, and the Yang family was almost killed. Until the last moment, more than 5,500 thieves who still guarded Hailongtun were exiled to Fujian Guang.
In this battle, the court killed more than 20,000 thieves and captured nearly 6,000 of their thieves. They successively captured or surrendered nearly 120,000 people, and a group of people in Bozhou were corrupt.
The court won this battle, but in fact it was a tragic victory. For this battle, the court drew troops from fifteen provinces, and Li Hualong personally selected "smart and capable" prefectures across the country, with more than a hundred county governors, and used weapons and equipment from weapons manufacturing workshops and arsenals in ten provinces.
In the last battle to attack Hailongtun, the court killed 78 generals, more than 4,600 soldiers, nearly 1,000 seriously injured, and nearly 2,500 slightly injured. In addition to the local soldiers, the total casualties reached an astonishing more than 30,000.
During the entire battle, because the Ming army blindly advanced and repeatedly hit the ground and was completely wiped out, the total number of casualties was four to five times that of Bozhou. Isn’t this a tragic victory?
The Ministry of Revenue calculated the accounts in a daze: In this battle, the court spent 1.5 million taels of silver, 170,000 coins of copper, 320,000 stones of rice, 70,000 jin of dried fish, and salt, ginger, dried garlic, and vegetables...
This is just related to eating and using. What about the medicinal materials? What about the pension? What about the reward? What about the battle robe? What about the gunpowder? What about the armor? What about the war horse? When Emperor Wanli woke up from his excitement, he suddenly realized that he, as a big winner, had not won anything.
If you really want to say there is a winner, Zhu Yijun gritted his teeth and found that the real big winner was Ye Xiaotian!
Ye Xiaotian took advantage of this battle and was already strong. Now the entire Sinan has completely fallen into his control. That's not counting, half of Bozhou has also fallen into his hands.
Yuqing, Meitan, Wengshui, Baini, Caotang, Huangping, and the entire six palaces are all under the control of Ye Xiaotian.
Can Zhu Yijun get it back? Yes! The question is, who will he hand it over to after he gets it back?
Is there anyone who makes him more at ease than Ye Xiaotian? Compared to those toasts who have been guarding the land for hundreds of years, Ye Xiaotian, a hateful guy, is actually the most trustworthy person he has to pinch his nose and admit.
The five and seven surnames of the Bozhou family who followed the Yang family for hundreds of years have completely disrupted their rule over Bozhou because of this battle. Those who boarded the Yang family's pirate ship either died in battle or those who were not dead were also listed as besties in the capital and were found guilty of being executed.
Those who did not participate in the Yang rebellion but did not show loyalty to the court. Instead, they were blindly watching and were also dismissed from hereditary official position. However, this thorough destruction was mainly concentrated on the northern line. Because the southern line was fully accepted by Ye Xiaotian in advance, there had not been too many wars in the local area.
These places surrendered to Ye Xiaotian before Yang Yinglong collapsed, so those local officials were in the predicament. Anyway, unlike some local officials who always remained "neutral", Wanli was the emperor, and the dignified emperor could not be punished without being taught.
Besides, even if he wanted to eat it in one bite, he would not be able to do it. The local forces there were so strong that it was not his imperial edict that he could become a land of Liuzhi.
Not to mention the areas where the southern line still retains a complete local official system, let’s talk about the northern line. Although Wanli has made up his mind to establish a system of vacancies there, he can only replace the prefect, prefect, and county magistrate with people from the court. As for the positions of Tongzhi, county magistrate, judge, chief clerk, etc., he still has to appoint a large number of local local officials to serve as the position in order to effectively issue the government orders.
Even so, after suddenly accepting such a large area of territory, it is still possible to control these areas after these migrant officials took office. If they don’t make it well, they will be a large area of "Huxian", which has become a big burden for the court. Then, where will they find so many unscrupulous Ye Xiaotians and do something to correct the situation?
Wanli was really unwilling to accept it! He originally gave Ye Xiaotian a canopy flower to Ye Xiaotian, but he just wanted to make some trouble for Ye Xiaotian, but he never thought that using this canopy flower could really kill Ye Xiaotian. After all, Ye Xiaotian knew Yanghua's identity, so how could he not be guarded? But at this time, he really wanted to let the little girl chop Ye Xiaotian up and let it go to relieve his hatred.
Luo Daheng ran to the capital to play the role of the God of Wealth, money was in the way, and the operation was carried out. Ye Xiaotian's shameless memorial for merit was also arrived. Gradually, the civil and military ministers supported the division of Bozhou into two, half of which were handed over to Ye Xiaotian to implement the local official system, and half of which were included in the official system began to increase.
But Zhu Yijun was still holding on. Although he knew that this was the best way to stabilize the rule of the court, he just didn't want Ye Xiaotian to succeed so easily.
Ye Xiaotian obviously had already guessed that Emperor Wanli would not let go easily. He had completely gained the rule of the entire Sinan for his military achievements and obtained the official position of Xuanfu Envoy. Will the emperor immediately assign the six prefectures of Bozhou to him and promote him to the highest level of Xuanfu Envoy among local officials?
Ye Xiaotian looked at the tea-serving maid Huahua, who was waiting by the desk. The little girl was staring at his big eyes and seemed to want to stare at him to death. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but shook his head secretly. How could it be possible! Just give it to me, the girl, to that dark-hearted guy, how could he submit so easily?
Ye Xiaotian took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The time is almost over. All the things that should be prepared are ready, and all the six prefectures in Bozhou have basically been sorted out. It seems that I should go to Shuixi and Shuidong for a walk!"
"Go to Shuixi? I'll accompany you!" Zhan Ning'er heard Ye Xiaotian's plan and immediately got ready to try: "I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, so I happened to visit him."
"Don't..." Ye Xiaotian was frightened: "Look at Yingying, look at Miaowen, who was pregnant, was still jumping up and down like you? Sit down quickly, with such a big belly..."
Zhan Ning'er was not willing to listen. Among the three tigers in Shuixi, she was the only one who was good at martial arts. Now she was erect and had a big belly without any burden: "I said it's okay, I want to go with you! Since I was pregnant, I was not allowed to go, so I didn't allow me to go, they were almost bored!"
Zhan Ning'er began to act coquettishly and complained. Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to say, "Ning'er, if you were any other time, you could go with me, but this time... it won't work!"
Zhan Ning'er's eyebrows stood up: "Why didn't this time?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "This time I went, I was cheating your grandfather. If you go, you will be caught between your grandfather and me. How can you be a human being?"
