Chapter 55 Layout on
During the Pingba Guard, Chen Wen and Li Dingguo reached an agreement, which also avoided the possibility of the next round of force conflict between the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Ming army in Southwest China.
According to the agreement, Chen Wen was rewarded with great achievements in serving the king for thousands of miles. In addition to the title of King Qi, the southern part of Huguang would also be formally handed over to Chen Wen for management. In contrast, Li Dingguo, on behalf of the Yongli court, accepted Sun Kewang's territory in Guizhou, and the southwest Ming army was all assigned to the Emperor Yongli, and Chen Wen gave up the annexation of these military generals and their subordinates.
Guizhou is too close to Kunming in Yunnan, and this province is surrounded by Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi on three sides. The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang spent too much money here, which is more likely to cause resistance from the Yongli court and the Ming army in the southwest, and it will break up and destroy Chen Wen's plan. It is far more realistic than taking over the southern part of Huguang and operating properly.
As a result, without touching each other's bottom line, the two sides finally completed the division of the largest part of Sun Kewang's legacy.
However, the basis of all this is that Sun Kewang, a traitor who is plotting against rebellion, will be fairly judged. To put it bluntly, Sun Kewang must die, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army's feat of serving the king is also for sure. Only after Sun Kewang's death will Chen Wen's army withdraw from Guizhou in batches. Before this, the army led by Li Dingguo will temporarily withdraw from Guizhou to avoid unpredictable accidents.
In addition, the trial location was chosen by both sides at Pingyiwei at the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan. This was in Yunnan and did not belong to Guizhou temporarily occupied by Chen Wen. The face urgently needed by the Yongli court was taken care of. However, during the trial, representatives of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had to watch the whole process, and some troops would also be stationed in the nearby Pu'anzhou to prevent the "treacherous treacherous" from joining forces with the "stubborn Sun Kewang remnants" to interfere with judicial justice and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
In the next few days, Li Dingguo's army began to slowly evacuate towards Yunnan. Li Dingguo's confidant Jin Tongwu followed the Yuyao Army's army to escort Sun Kewang and his captured confidants to the Pingyi Guard in Yunnan for trial. Everything began to proceed in an orderly manner, and Chen Wen's layout after he invited the Ming army in the southwest out of Guizhou also began to officially start.
"The royal army and the Tartars in Huguang have been tug at each other for more than ten years. There are wasteland everywhere. The land there is fertile and boundless. Isn't it better to farm than mountainous areas like Guizhou?"
"That's right, this time His Highness King Yue wants to recruit soldiers, and they all have to be divided into land and land. Have you heard that those veterans in Zhejiang who have followed His Highness King Yue for several years are not hundreds of acres of fertile land at home now, and dozens or hundreds of tenants are serving them. Even new recruits, as long as they fight a war in Jiangxi, they will have dozens or hundreds of acres of land, and they don't have to pay taxes, and they won't change it to a scholar."
"The scholar-in-law dares not compare. He can get a fame and a judge in the future, but he dares not compete in random competitions. But compared with the auxiliary soldiers of our military camps, it is a good life. Regardless of whether you go or not, I don't want to continue to be a slave here anyway. Now I will pack up my things and sign up."
"Go together, go together, who is willing to stay here, who is the fool who is the brain-killed donkey. In the future, like Brother Tan, Huang Laosan and others, they will not be able to eat enough when they are alive, and they will be thrown into the mass grave by the Western thieves. The body must be fed to wild dogs, which is worthy of it."
After speaking, in the fortress under Pingbawei, the auxiliary soldiers of the army who were inspired to clean up the rotten cloth and rag heads on the bed, packed up all the rags they regarded as treasures, and then burst out of the leaking wind and rain. From time to time, snakes and insects came in, and they regarded them as rare and delicious food, and walked towards the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Propaganda Point in the distance.
During the Hongwu period, the Ming army entered Yunnan and solved the threat of the Liang king of the Yuan Dynasty. After returning to the army, they reached control over this period by establishing a garrison, ensuring that Huguang would enter Yunnan. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with the population of Huguang, Sichuan and other provinces, the households began to move here to rely on local garrisons to farm and do business. In addition, the reproduction and survival of the more than 200,000 military households in Guizhou had gradually changed from the original "Han is few and many barbarians" to "Han is many barbarians".
In Guizhou, there were chieftains everywhere. During the Ming Dynasty, twenty-nine guards of all sizes were established in Guizhou, and military households were continuously dispatched to reverse the proportion of "Han and Yi", which achieved basic control over Guizhou.
The days of military households in the garrison were the same throughout the country, and the word "hard" was self-evident. However, after Sun Kewang took over Guizhou, unlike the distribution of land in Yunnan, Guizhou military offices were quickly transformed into a military camp of the Daxi Army, and Guizhou military households were completely reduced to serfs of the Qin vassal state, and their status and living conditions were further reduced, and their output was deprived. The grain was distributed according to Dingkou, and they completely became slaves from the lowly military households.
In this way, the enthusiasm for production will inevitably decrease significantly. However, Sun Kewang is well-managed, which will support the cost of the army, and only the suffering of military households will increase exponentially.
Pingba Guards were located in Anshun City in later generations. The two guards in Puding and Anzhuang were also included in this area. In the Ming Dynasty, the number of garrisons and forts was not large, and the scale was also very large. Li Dingguo's army withdrew from Guizhou, and Chen Wen sent one team after another, with troops responsible for protecting them, suppressing officials of Qinfan Guards in various places. While supervising the work, he also vigorously promoted the military farming in Huguang and attracted military households to migrate to Huguang.
The military merits of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were given field system, and the treatment was so generous that it could attract a large number of people to join the army in a wealthy place like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, let alone these serfs in Guizhou. Especially the officers and supervisors of the Qin vassal have long been imprisoned, and there was no whip that stopped them from running towards happiness. At this moment, there were countless people who signed up for the propaganda point of Pudingwei. If it weren't for the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that were always trying their best to maintain order, I was afraid that the propaganda point would have been destroyed by the crowd.
On the edge of the crowd, Ping Yuan, a scholar in Jiangnan who was a small leader of the anti-Qing rebel army on the banks of Taihu Lake a year and a half ago, was now the official in charge of this work team, who was closely monitoring the work of the propaganda site.
"There are so many people coming. It seems that all the military households around here have come. It seems that they don't want to follow the Western thieves for a while."
"That's not true. Not to mention this combat effectiveness, our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division pursues military merits and teaches fields, but they are still using military garrison methods to exploit military households and garrisons. Only the fool is willing to continue to follow them."
Ping Yuan and the officers who led the team watched the lively scene, chatting without saying a word. After a while, the registered military households were arranged to take a shower and put on brand new Ming army uniforms transported from the Guiyang warehouse, so as to prevent the breeding of bacteria as much as possible, so as to transport them to the Huguang area safer.
"Brother Ping, there are a few local residents from Ningguzhai Branch over there who also want to follow us to Huguang."
Hearing this, Ping Yuan didn't even hesitate for a moment, and immediately said to the officer: "Those who are willing to follow us have no reason to leave it alone, let them register."
"But these are all natives, they are natives of Ningguzhaisi."
"No matter what chieftain he is, is it the king's land under the world? Is it the king's land the king's head in the world? I can't count on them when fighting the Tartars. Now our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division prepare for the Northern Expedition, and we need military households to enrich Huguang. Why don't we have so many? Anyway, we can't stay here for a few months. Don't the King of Jin and King of Shu have the ability? Let them clean up by themselves."
Ningguzhaishi, this corpse means chief lie, to put it bluntly, it is chieftains. Chieftains exist in large quantities in the southwest of Yun, Qian, Sichuan, Lianghu, Guangdong and Guangxi. They were local feudal lords and even local emperors, and they suppressed the local people under their rule. Where there are chieftains, local people will inevitably escape, and the disposal of the resigned officials is often linked to the national strength at that time, because these chieftains are all armed by local forces, and they are connected by marriage and other means, which will move the whole body. If the resigned officials hide the local people, the war will probably break out.
This Ningguzhaisi was founded in the 19th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The original surname of the chieftain was the prefect of Pudingtu at that time. However, with the establishment of Pudingwei and the abolition of Pudingtu, the family of the Chu family was demoted to the chieftain of Ningguzhaisi. In the Yongle period, the Gu family was appointed as the deputy chief of the Ningguzhaisi by the Ming court. During the Zhengtong period, the Chu family had his descendants and the Gu family, who had hereditary deputy chief, had his place and was appointed as the chieftain by the Ming court. It has been hereditary until the 54th year of Kangxi.
Ningguzhaishi is not far from Pudingwei, and it is not uncommon for the local people to escape after hearing the news. Pingyuan understood Chen Wen's intention and chose to shelter those local people. As a result, the thanks for this kindness had been received, and the Ningguzhaishi came to provoke the army to question the crime.
The next day, the registration point was still crowded, but a large number of them had already changed their clothes and were about to go to Guiyang. After gathering more people, they were escorted by the army to form a formation to Huguang.
Seeing the heads of Ninggu Village bringing the warriors and local soldiers in the village to ask for people, these newly promoted Ming army households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all ready to learn from each other, thinking about teaching these local soldiers a lesson first, and when they arrived in Huguang, they could be allocated to the land as soon as possible and start a new and happy life.
This was the case with the military households, and the Ming army guarding came even more. The chieftain who was riding on the horse swallowed, but the dry mouth was still not substantially relieved.
The combat effectiveness of the Southwest Ming Army was like a god in their eyes. After all, the Great Western Army fought for so many years in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, and even once dominated one side. If even these chieftains could not be shocked, that would be a joke. However, in the eyes of these chieftains, these god-like figures, especially the King of Qin, who was like the King of God, were dealt with by this Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army, who came from somewhere. It is said that the battle process was completely one-sided, asking him not to fear this military power.
"This old man, my Gu family has always been a loyal minister of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and never dared to be rebellious at all. I was appreciated by Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Yingzong, and my Gu family was able to manage the place because of the Ming Dynasty. This chieftain manages the local people, which is a right granted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I also asked the old man to return the incompetent local people to the lower officials, and the lower officials personally take charge of it."
The chieftain called the old man respectfully, and even asked the warriors around him to give a thank-you gift. Pingyuan looked at the officer who was escorting the guard, who said that he had already sent someone to the Acropolis of Pudingwei for help.
Seeing this hint, Pingyuan was more confident and then said to the chieftain: "I don't know what local people are not local people. This place is the place where my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division recruits troops, and it is the territory of the kings. You and others entered without authorization and kept asking for people from me, but they didn't take His Highness the King of Yue seriously!"
The chieftain used Taizu and Yingzong to suppress others, and Pingyuan also raised Chen Wen's banner without hesitation. Nowadays, county officials are worse than the current officials, and the final decision is even more correct. The Qin King Sun Kewang, who was powerful not long ago, was the same, and the current King Chen Wen of Qi was the same. As soon as these words were said, the chieftain's arrogance was suppressed.
"The official has no intention of offending the king's army, nor has his intention of offending His Highness the King of Yue. It is just that according to the convention, the native people must return the escape. I also ask the elders to be kind. After the official returns, there will be a thank-you gift."
The chieftain thought Pingyuan disliked the little gift he brought to meet, but Pingyuan snorted and looked furious: "Do you guys understand what I said? This is the place to recruit soldiers. I can't wait to get in, otherwise I will be executed. I've told you so much when I see you guys that don't understand. Now it seems that you guys are sincerely making trouble, huh?"
As soon as he said that, the escorted Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army formed an attacking formation. The military households all started to clamor whether they were registered or not. The posture seemed to be to tear the heads and warriors into pieces on the spot.
The hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so the chieftain had to retreat in a hurry with the warriors under his command. However, after scaring the chieftain away, Pingyuan rushed back to the temporary office and sent a letter to Chen Wen's Guiyang headquarters to explain everything.
Pudingwei was not far from Guiyang, and the letters were sent to the headquarters soon. At this moment, what was busy in the headquarters was not the migration of military households, but the transportation of the goods plundered by the Qin Palace over the years and the stored silver and grain stored in various places for the purpose of the construction of Huguang. However, this savings were really a lot, compared to Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao's were not a small number, and Chen Wen used this to make up for the increasingly huge military expenditure.
Before the letter was sent to the case, Chen Wen put down the inventory report on the antiques counted in the Qin Palace, and carefully read the report from Pingyuan about the escape of the local people and the chieftains who came to fight. He just smiled coldly, and then called Shi Daniu, the director of the first bureau of the Nantangying Camp of the Siming Master, and gave a few instructions.
A few days later, the first round arrived at the location of Ningguzhaisi. The army divided its troops everywhere and started fighting without saying a word. All the twenty-nine villages affiliated with Ningguzhaisi were burned down, and the local officials were disarmed and threw them to the local people who had been oppressed by them for a long time. After everything was over, all of these local people were sent to Pudingwei, waiting to move to Huguang.
