Sichuan, Chongqing.

Whenever I get busy, I feel that time flies.

More than a year has passed since Zhu Youxiao's personal campaign to conquer the southwest, and the rapid stabilization of the southwestern border has also freed up the hands and feet of the Central Plains officers and troops.

After the division of the army, the officers and soldiers of all departments also withdrew from Sichuan one after another, and returned to their own provinces.

In Chongqing, Zhu Xieyuan was standing in the open courtyard of the governor's yamen, speaking to a group of more than 300 scholars who had just arrived.

He looked at these young people in front of him, and felt a little relieved in his heart, these are all qualified to be officials, or from a high level of background, or a scholar and a rank.

They came to the southwest to give lectures in order to give lectures in the southwest for the imperial court's policy of "giving lectures in the southwest for two years, giving priority to recruiting and filling vacancies", and this enlightened policy greatly promoted the process of Tusi education in the southwest region.

After the victory in the southwest, the imperial court paid special attention to the social studies in the southwest.

In addition to vigorously developing the land reform and returning to the stream, and confiscating the land of local Tusi such as the luxury families that caused chaos, the imperial court also allocated a part of the funds to invest in the southwest to set up social studies and private schools in various places.

A large number of scholars were attracted by the policy to Sichuan, teaching the local Tusi people to learn the language and culture of the Han family, and so far, it has indeed achieved some results.

At least, since the end of the war, in the southwest, there have been fewer and fewer conflicts between the Han and the Tusi people, and there are few cases where the local guards disagree with the Tusi army.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, the rebellion of the Pingxuan clan, the imperial court gathered more than 100,000 soldiers from the five provinces of the Central Plains into Sichuan, and even the Emperor of the Apocalypse led the Yongwei battalion to drive the expedition.

At that time, the officers and soldiers in Sichuan accounted for half of the Turkish and Han soldiers.

However, the Great War in the Southwest was not all smooth sailing, and the native soldiers generally disobeyed the imperial edicts, were arrogant and rude, and refused to do their best.

The governors of various places often did not dare to deal with it excessively in order to take into account the overall situation of counterinsurgency, and whenever the Tusi soldiers made a noise, they relieved Jin Silk and drove the Tusi soldiers to serve their lives.

As for the Irikawa official army, from the white pole army to the local guard army, the combat effectiveness was uneven, the equipment was different from the old and the new, and the generals also raised their own interests and competed with each other.

For example, Du Si Xu became famous, etc., and was bound by his own views, and could not obey the order in advance and retreat, so that the fighter plane was delayed, and the rebellion of the Hao clan was delayed.

After Zhu Youxiao pacified Sichuan, he changed the local policy of the southwestern provinces towards Tusi, and Zhu Xieyuan was also promoted to the governor of Sichuan because of his military exploits.

At that time, Zhu Xieyuan thought that after the withdrawal of the imperial army, there were actually no thieves in Sichuan, so he focused on educating the Tusi and stabilizing the local people.

In fact, the recovery of Yongningwei in the first year of the Apocalypse made the Ming Dynasty expand the land for thousands of miles, and put the Yongningwei area, which was originally only ruled in name, back under the powerful rule of the Apocalypse Court.

After Zhu Xieyuan became the governor of Sichuan, he also exerted his outstanding military and political talents, changing the hostile attitude of his predecessor Xu Keqiu towards Tusi.

The richest land of the original luxury Tusi [ ] was included under the jurisdiction of Yongningwei of the imperial court and was directly stationed by the official army, and the rest of the land was divided into 48 tuns by him and given to the counterinsurgency meritorious in the Tusi army.

In Sichuan, there are several big toasts in addition to luxury.

Zhu Xieyuan took advantage of the fact that the remnants of the rebellion were still there, divided the land of these big Tusi, and gave the rewards for their military exploits to some meritorious small Tusi generals, and ordered them to pay the annual gifts to the government every month, called "Tun Generals".

The selection of the generals often had to serve the imperial court in the counterinsurgency, and the generals and the troops under their command were also directly subordinate to the local state capital.

Zhu Xieyuan's Sichuan Tun general system can actually gradually transform those Tusi army generals into direct generals of the imperial court, and effectively divide the power of Sichuan Tusi.

Not long ago, Zhu Xieyuan sent another message to the imperial court, suggesting that the military garrison of Xuzhou be moved to the Yongning Acropolis and stationed together with the Guizhou generals.

After careful consideration, Zhu Youxiao put it into play.

In the past two years, Zhu Xieyuan has divided several large toasts in Sichuan into a number of small toasts, and gave the fertile land to the small toasts loyal to the imperial court and set them as tun generals.

The restless local Tusi were gradually "changed to the soil", marginalized and weakened, and the generals loyal to the imperial court became the main force of the Tusi army, thus completely eliminating the threat of the local Tusi in Sichuan.

Since then, Shu has been stable.

As for An Bangyan in Guizhou, who gradually disappeared after pacifying the Hao clan, it was another person that Zhu Xieyuan was deeply wary of.

I only hope that the noble governor Wang Sanshan can appease An Bangyan and prevent him from jumping off the wall and provoking a war again, otherwise he will be ruined.

......

"Educate the people of Tusi, please!"

In the shocked gaze of all beings, Zhu Xieyuan bent down and bowed deeply to them.

Zhu Sheng has already heard of the famous name of the Sichuan Governor and the Stability Bureau, and the reason why many people choose Sichuan is also Zhu Xieyuan.

Seeing this, no matter what the purpose was before coming, he returned the salute respectfully, and said in unison: "We will live up to the high expectations of Futai and educate the local people, which is enough to be a great pleasure in life!" ”

After speaking, there was a sudden sound of hooves outside the door.

But it was Wang Chengen, who came from Nanjing, who led a group of horsemen to walk in in a hurry, and before anyone arrived, the voice arrived.

"Sichuan Governor Zhu Xieyuan receives the order!"

Everyone left a way for the eunuchs and Ti Qi who announced the decree, and they were all whispering, could it be that something big happened to the imperial court.

They were all lecturers from all over the country, and they didn't inquire about any national affairs for several months.

Generally speaking, the proclamation only needs to be sent by the celebrant to send a person, but this time the one who came this time was wearing a red brocade robe, and it was obvious that he also had some status in the celebrant priest.

Zhu Xieyuan also noticed this, and stood still waiting for the decree.

Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Zhu Xieyuan's side, and when the left and right brocade guards stood in columns, and all the beings and the officials of the governor's yamen were prostrate on the ground, he took out the bright yellow scroll, spread it in the air, and said in a loud voice:

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, made meritorious contributions to pacifying the southwest and stabilizing Sichuan, and added the title of secretary of the military department, the governor of the Jiubian military town and the Qi auxiliary soldiers, gave Shang Fang the sword, awarded the Taishi, and gave him the right to do important things.

Ordered to inspect the army in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and leave the customs at a later date. On the day of arrival, go to Beijing immediately, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Zhu Xieyuan did not answer the order and was stunned.

The governor of a place, this is already the feudal official of the imperial court, and he has a lot of power, but today, after this holy decree, he has become the first "supervisor" of the Apocalypse court.

Zhu Xieyuan never thought that he would have the day to be a supervisor.

The so-called superintendent is the largest local official below the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and has the right to make decisions on local military and government affairs, but he is not a fixed position.

Whether or not the supervisor is selected correctly not only determines the trend of the entire war situation, but also has a great impact on local military and government affairs.

According to Zhu Xieyuan's knowledge, the superintendent is generally temporarily established when the imperial court needs to use troops on a large scale, and according to the holy decree, he will lead the Jiubian military town and the Jifu army out of the customs.

But he is still confused, what is he doing when he goes out?

People in the southwest, busy with government affairs, but for a while they haven't paid attention to the current national affairs, and when they receive the holy decree, they want to make up for the lessons.

As soon as he thought of this, Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan, walked into the governor's yamen wearing armor, and saw that Wang Chengen was announcing the decree and was busy prostrate on the ground.
