Chapter 19: The Strategy of Flattening the Southwest
Sichuan, Yongning.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Qin Liangyu bowed again and held the imperial edict in both hands.
The emperor's rewards and promotions were very generous, not only to Qin Liangyu, but also to her son and her brothers.
Not only did he have official positions, but he also gave gifts and rewards for silver. In feudal society, he was also a woman's honor and virtue.
After seeing off the Qin envoy, Qin Liangyu was happy and excited. He put on the imperial brocade robe and armor, and put on the ritual knife. A heroic heroine immediately appeared in the imperial mirror.
When he approached the table, Qin Liangyu carefully observed the mirror that could reveal his own delicate appearance, and also observed whether there was any bad thing on his face.
The door was gently knocked. After Qin Liangyu responded, his brother Qin Minping pushed the door open and entered.
"Sister is so heroic." Qin Minping also put on the imperial armor, looking majestic, and smiled and complimented Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu smiled faintly and bowed to the north and said, "Long live long-hearted, you and my brothers should fight bravely, and only then will you live up to the emperor's kindness."
Qin Min Ping'er said, "The time for military discussion is coming soon. I mean, I should go to the conference hall in advance."
Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment, feeling that the brothers might not only be for military discussions, but also to show off their strength in front of the generals.
Because he was a woman and led his troops to be local soldiers, some Ming generals despised Shao Li.
General Li Weixin was the most overwhelming one. He waved his arms and boasted before the war, and fled when he fought. After failing to return to the city, he even refused to let Qin Liangyu lead his army into the city.
This time the emperor gave a gift and showed off in front of Li Weixin and others, slapping these people in the face.
"Let's go, sister." Qin Minping extended his hand to invite him, and added, "Don't misunderstand the military proposal."
Qin Liangyu was a little helpless. Seeing that the time for military discussion was approaching, he stopped hesitating and walked out.
Yongning Prefecture has been the temporary command center of Zhu Xieyuan, the new Minister of War. He also governed the military affairs of Yun, Gui, Sichuan, Hu, and Guangxi, and was awarded Shangfang Sword.
When Qin Liangyu and his brothers arrived at the government office, they were led to the flower hall to sit and wait for a while.
Qin Minping looked around, but did not find that bastard Li Weixin, and he felt a little disappointed.
There are already many generals in the flower hall, some know each other, some are unfamiliar, and several of them have different military uniforms from others. These people gathered together and talked in a low voice.
"That was from the capital, I have heard from someone." Qin Minping saw that his sister was puzzled and whispered: "War thousands of people alone, Guiyang has saved the siege, and it has made great contributions."
Qin Liangyu said with a slight head, "The elite troops in the Beijing camp are of course very good."
At this moment, an officer came in to inform the generals and asked the generals to go to the chamber.
Everyone stood up one after another, and under the guidance of the officer, they came to the hall next to them to sit down.
After a while, after a dry cough, Zhu Xieyuan stepped in.
"I will pay homage to the Lord." Everyone stood up and bowed, and paid homage to him.
Zhu Xieyuan smiled and walked down the seat in the middle of the jaw. He pressed his hand down and said, "Please sit down!"
After everyone sat down, Zhu Xieyuan said loudly: "This time I call you all to convey the orders of the Ministry of War..."
I don’t know if it was to eliminate the traitors within a time limit, or... many generals pricked their ears and guessed them as they listened.
"...The general combat policy is: attack on all sides and gradually cleanse. All troops should not risk going deep into the water west. They must station troops on all sides, surround them and gradually compress them, and eliminate their capital and storage, especially salt and grain..."
Qin Liangyu was thinking, but was shocked by Zhu Xieyuan's words and looked at Zhu Xieyuan in surprise.
The Ministry of War would actually issue such an order, adopting a time-consuming and cost-effective combat plan.
To eliminate capital reserves means to block the passage between Shuxi and the outside world. It also emphasizes salt, which can be said to have an extremely accurate understanding of the situation in Guizhou.
Guizhou's unique geographical conditions have created its unique culture, which is neither water nor food, but it lacks something that depends on survival, that is salt.
In this vast land, no salt is produced, which has also caused the local people to live a very difficult life.
In history, the Guizhou people lacked salt, so they invented the use of acid instead of salt and spicy instead of salt, thus gradually forming the taste selection and inheritance of food culture on the tip of Guizhou people.
Most of the salt in Guizhou Province flows in from Sichuan, which is the so-called "Sichuan salt enters Guizhou, and mountain goods enter Sichuan."
In order not to run away, Guizhou salt-carrying people usually carry mountain goods, cross mountains and rivers to Sichuan, sell the mountain goods, and then replace them with salt to carry them back to Guizhou.
What shocked Qin Liangyu and others even more was still behind. After Zhu Xieyuan conveyed the Ministry of War's writing and deployed the garrison scope of each department, he stood up with a serious expression, solemnly received the imperial edict, and said loudly: "Long live the imperial edict."
The generals hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee, and welcomed the imperial edict.
"... Since Taizu founded the country, all ethnic groups treated equally in naturalization... However, she Chongming, Anbang was crazy and started arbitrarily, causing trouble to the lives of the world. His crimes were so great that he would never forgive..."
"... If the land of the tyrant and the aid of the rebels can awaken to the realization, the court will not blame it; if the power is poor and surrender, the land will be changed and the land will be reborn, and the local officials will be dismissed and punished..."
Zhu Xie Yuanlong recited the imperial edict and admired the young emperor's wits and wisdom in his heart.
First, it was announced that the court had no intention of large-scale reform of the land and returned to the empire, and warned the chieftains who secretly helped She Chongming and Anbang to stop quickly to prevent the court from settle the accounts in the future;
Secondly, he showed with a tough attitude that the court would not accept She Chongming, and An Bangjun's surrender must be completely wiped out and killed the two thieves;
Finally, threaten and induce the local chiefs and the forty-eight local entourages in the rebellion. Those who assist in the rebellion will be eliminated and their officials will be stripped of their territory. Anyway, those who surrender will retain their original status;
Zhu Xieyuan believes that after this imperial edict is made public, the war against rebellion will definitely usher in new changes and will be a good turning point.
The rebellion was openly made by She Chongming and Anbang, but there were also many chieftains who secretly helped them, making the war of rebellion difficult. This has a lot to do with the rumors outside that the court wanted to change its territory and return to its current situation;
Let’s talk about the inner water west, the entire territory is thirteen streams, with forty-eight divine images under it; each stream is placed as Muzhuo, and then it is controlled by Mukui, which is similar to the fiefdom of the Han Dynasty.
In layman's terms, the whole of Shuixi Tusi is composed of many units similar to small tribes. If they can be combined, they can be divided. There are always fears, fears, or concerns that their status will not be guaranteed.
Even if the Tumu has no intention of surrendering, the publication of this imperial edict will increase the suspicion of She Chongming and Anbang, and doubt whether his subordinates have any unfaithful intentions.
Therefore, on the one hand, it shows its power and expresses its determination to completely wipe out; on the other hand, it divides and disintegrates, coercion and inducement, increasing the chance of the rebels' division.
Zhu Xieyuan admired the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, but did not know what Zhu Youxiao believed in the saying "Fortresses are easiest to break from within."
After promulgating the imperial edict, the generals stood up, some of them looked calm, some were a little surprised, and some were very shocked.
Zhu Xieyuan bowed to the north and said, "Long live, half of the gold, flowers and silver branches have been transferred to combat the rebellion, and also issued an order to remove the food, grass and supplies. We must cooperate sincerely, fight steadily, and kill the head of the rebel chief to repay the court."
"The last generals dare not serve in unison to repay the emperor's kindness." The generals bowed and bowed in unison.
…………………………………
Although changing the land and returning to the current is the general trend, it has a great impact and requires sufficient preparation and cannot be carried out in a simple way to cut the mess with a quick knife.
Zhu Youxiao understood this very well, but he must defeat and destroy Shuixi, She Chongming and An Bangyan. Then, there will be some small chieftains in Shuixi area, but they will no longer pose a threat to the court.
In terms of large differences, this is somewhat of a historical meaning of giving up grace, but it is not the same.
The key is to seize the opportunity, advance and reform with stability.
The fight against Jiannu must be stable, the quell of She'an rebellion must be stable, and the subduing of Mongolian tribes must be stable. Zhu Youxiao feels that he is as stable as an old dog.
There is no way, this is the situation in the Ming Dynasty now, the more urgent it is, the more accidents will happen.
The She'an Rebellion has been fought for more than ten years, and it seems that there will be a rebellion of the chieftain surnamed Sha in the future, which will turn the world upside down in Yunnan.
"Long live the greetings of the grass people, long live, long live!"
"The grass people pay homage to the queen, Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!"
A slightly immature but neat voice interrupted the young emperor's thoughts. Facing the child who was kneeling all over the ground, Zhu Youxiao showed a sincere smile.
Queen Zhang Yan smiled and nodded repeatedly, turned to the emperor and said, "The children are so cute, aren't they? Let them get up quickly!"
Zhu Youxiao said first, and said loudly: "You are the future of my Ming Dynasty. You must study hard and become the pillars of the Ming Dynasty."
"Long live the graceful people thank you for your kindness." The children have been taught basic etiquette in advance and answered neatly.
Shaoyingyuan was named by the emperor himself, and it means a young talent. It lives mainly from six or seven hundred orphans, male and female orphans recruited by Northern Zhili.
As Zhu Youxiao said, they are the future of the Ming Dynasty, and he personally designated the textbooks to prepare for the pillars of his career to cultivate since childhood.
For this reason, the emperor did not hesitate to divide the Royal West Garden into two halves, build houses, and build this one, a welfare home and a Shaoying home of the school.
From adoption and resettlement, to arranging care from palace servants, to textbook compilation and other work, some of these children have lived here for more than two months.
When he came in, he was pale and thin, and now he was clean and tidy, and he was well fed and dressed. He was adopted by the emperor himself, making many sensible children feel like they were dreaming.
According to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, Shaoying College is also divided into two parts, with those under the age of six living together; those who teach on time are children aged six to ten.
The children felt less timid when they kowtowed. The emperor and the queen asked the palace servants to distribute pastries and candy, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"These little girls are so cute!" Zhang Yan walked among the girls with a smile on her head, touched her head, pinched her face, and looked kind and kind.
He noticed someone pulling his skirt, Zhang Yan turned to look, but it was a girl with big eyes, looking at her innocently.
