The eight mansions are not, the yamen of the patrol according to the imperial history is called the procuratorate, and the governor's yamen is called the capital, which sounds good, and it becomes the metropolitan procuratorate when they are put together.

In Guilin, these "two courtyards" are next to each other, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that they are separated by a wall, but they are indeed on the same street. Therefore, after Governor Zhang returned to the capital with his subordinates, because the master of Futai was going to recuperate and rest, some people could first come to register on the side of the master of Taiwan and make friends.

Here you can see that the relatives are estranged, not old friends, and generally don't dare to disturb immediately.

Gao Pragmatic has never been to Guangxi in this life, but there are old friends, such as Hu Shu, the right deputy capital of Guangxi Xuezheng and Zhao Yumin, the left political envoy of Guangxi.

Although these two did not have many direct dealings with Gao Pragmatic before, the friendship between Ming officialdom is so magical, and they all visited Gao Pragmatic in the name of visiting "Brother Shi".

The children of the master and the master of the house, and their protégés can be called brothers, regardless of age.

And if Gao pragmatically calls them, they can be both senior brothers and world brothers.

"Brother Gao Shi patrolled a province before the age of the weak crown, this is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this holy family is like a mountain and a sea."

"Haha, yes, Brother Gao Shi, you are the sixth champion, unparalleled in the world, and you have to be so reused, I am afraid that you will enter the cabinet in the future when you are not established, and the foolish brother will have to ask you to take care of it in the future."

Gao Pragmatism is naturally modest and polite, and when the two sides sit down, the three of them talked nonsense about the old news in Beijing, and then gradually got to the point.

After all, Hu Shu is the oldest, and he was the first to speak, "Brother Shi's knowledge, no one in the world is unconvinced, but this Guangxi is a little different from other places, although the foolish brother has only been in Guangxi for two years, but he is deeply touched." ”

Gao pragmatic said, "The younger brother is young and shallow, and he is a northerner who came to patrol southern Xinjiang, everything is unknown, and he feels embarrassed, and he is about to ask the world brother for advice." ”

Hu Shu said with a smile: "Brother Shi has the grace to save my life, where do I dare to ask for advice." ”

He said this two years ago, although Hu Shu was only forty-five or sixteen at that time, but when he returned to Beijing to report on work, he was seriously ill and almost died.

Gao pragmatic just smiled when he heard it, and did not pick up the stubble, because this stubble was about to interrupt the topic again.

Sure enough, after Hu Shu said this, he immediately picked up the conversation and said, "The rebellion in Guangxi, in the final analysis, there are only two words: Yu and Yao. And these two words can be separated, the servants are mostly servants, and the Yao people are mostly troublemakers. It is because there are many servants and many toasts, and the Yao people are more provocative. ”

Gao pragmatic nodded, this is the so-called problem of national integration and national contradictions.

However, his thinking is different from that of the current Ming people, in his eyes, not to mention the servants and Yao people, even Mongolia is an object that can be assimilated, and there is no discrimination mentality.

I dare not say that he has assimilated the whole world, at least East Asia, there is no psychological barrier to him, as for whether he can succeed, that is another matter.

Hu Shu also said, "The rebellion of the Yao people has existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is mainly in the southeast of Guangxi and the west of Guangdong. Most of these Yao people live in the mountains and forests, sometimes resist the Celestial Empire, go down the mountain to make rebellion, capture the prefectures and counties, poison the Quartet, and suffer deeply from the past dynasties. ”

This Gao pragmatic person knows, and he also knows that since the Ming Dynasty, the distribution range of the Yao people in Guangxi has been changing. In the middle of the early Ming Dynasty, the Yao people mainly gathered in the Guidong area. However, in the early period of the Tatar Qing Dynasty, the number of Yao people in western Guizhou increased significantly, and the number of Yao people in eastern Guizhou decreased day by day. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, almost all of the Yao people were distributed in remote mountainous areas throughout Guangxi.

The first and most important reason here is that compared with the servants, the Yao people are more obviously resistant to sinicization, and because of resistance, it is easier to cause misunderstanding and confrontation, and then it evolves into various conflicts, so there is nothing to say, and it starts fighting.

After fighting, he was driven into the deep mountains and old forests.

It is said that in the earliest days, the population gap between the Gu and the Yao was not large, but in later generations, the gap had widened, and the population of the Gu people reached more than five times that of the Yao people.

The reason why the servants are better than the Yao people is that while maintaining a certain degree of independence, they clearly accept and support the rule of the central dynasty, so for a long time there have been servants Tusi who rule the local area as a hereditary identity.

In Guangxi, it is most prosperous in the left and right river areas.

It just so happened that Hu Shu also talked about this, and he said to Gao Shishi, "The Yao people do not accept the king, and they can only be mainly subdued for generations, while the servants are much better, and the major Tusi families generally obey the orders, for example, when Jiangnan suppressed the Japanese, Mrs. Washi, who was in charge of Tianzhou and Guiyi Prefecture, led thousands of soldiers to expedition to Jiangnan, and she was quite successful, and she was awarded the title of Mrs. Erpin." ”

Gao pragmatically smiled: "The younger brother knows a little about this." ”

Hu Shu nodded, but he was solemn again, and said solemnly, "But Brother Shi, don't think that the servants are all honest, and I don't know if there are a third of them who are really honest." The rest, most of them are just superficial obedience, and all kinds of yang and yin violations behind the scenes are categorically indispensable, and there are even some unruly people, who are usually lawless, and the children of the major families often fall into internal conflict because of inheritance and other things, and even attack each other, which is really a disaster. ”

Gao pragmatic nodded and asked, "Guangxi Tusi family, who is the most powerful?"

Hu Shu and Zhao Yumin glanced at each other, and at the same time said, "Brother Shi doesn't know how to sow Tian Yang, and Liang Guangcen Huang Zhi said"

Thanks to the blessing of the "Banzhou Rebellion", one of the three major expeditions of Wanli, "Si Bo Tian Yang" Gao Pragmatic knows, but it is said that Sizhou Tian and Banzhou Yang.

Tianjiashi town Sizhou, its history can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui opened the emperor two years, Tian Zongxian for the history of the Guizhou thorn, and then hereditary rule here. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tian clan was separated into Sinan and Sizhou. So far, Sinan and Sizhou Tian's Xuanwei Division are the two major toasts in Guizhou.

Sizhou Tian's toast is one of the most famous toasts in the history of Qianzhong, hereditary for thousands of years, the territory is vast, "Si Bo Tian Yang", that is, Sizhou is the world of Tian's toast, Banzhou is the world of Yang's toast.

However, in the Yongle period, because Sinan and Sizhou Tian's Xuanwei Division fought for the cinnabar ore vein, it was known as the battle of the sand pit. This fatal infighting became an excellent excuse for the Yongle Emperor to solve the Sizhou Tusi problem. He sent troops to suppress it, arrested Sizhou Tian Chen and Sinan Tian Zong, and executed them in the capital the following year. As a result, Sizhou Tusi ceased to exist, and the power of the Tian family was greatly reduced. However, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the Tian family still retained the position of chief lawsuit.

Therefore, although there are many toasts in Guizhou at present, Banzhou Yang is the most prosperous, and Shuixian Xi'an, Sizhou Tian, and Shuidong Song are close behind.

These major Tusi families in Guizhou learned about Gao Pragmatic because of the Banzhou Rebellion, but Gao Pragmatic in Guangxi is not very clear, so he really has no impression of "Liangguang Cen Huang", maybe they are more honest

However, Hu Shu and Zhao Yumin seemed to be quite jealous of this "Liangguang Cen Huang", the two glanced at each other, but Hu Shu opened his mouth and said, "Press the platform, after you arrive, you must be going to patrol various places, but please be cautious when pressing the station, and try to avoid grudges with Cen and Huang Tusi when patrolling the left and right river areas, otherwise"
