Chapter 132: The Monument of Victory
In the city of Guiyang, it is full of Tenglong flags, mixed with the military flags and the high banners of the general army of the reinforcements.
On this day, the sky was clear, the sun was shining on the southwest land, and the light finally overwhelmed the darkness.
The southwest, which has been chaotic for almost a year, finally ushered in the dawn of stability.
Guiyang City is not big, compared with the mainland, Jiangnan towns, it seems extremely backward, but if you only talk about Guizhou, it is the most prosperous, for the rebels, officials and soldiers must fight.
Many years later, the military and civilians of Guiyang will still recall in gossip that in the first year of the Apocalypse, the emperor led the army to personally conquer and presided over the overall situation in Guiyang City.
"Your Majesty has an edict-" On the high platform, the Qianqing Palace steward sign Wang Chaofu stepped out and read it aloud.
The voice reached the ground, and the officials, soldiers, and people of the lower towns all knelt down, waiting for the decree of the Son of Heaven.
Wang Chaofu, who is accustomed to seeing big scenes, is also the first time to see such a scene, his heart is shocked, he clears his throat, and said in the highest possible voice:
"Since the beginning of the Imperial Pole, I have been conscientious day and night, abiding by the law of my ancestors, obeying the edict of the emperor, and trying to govern the government. Endure and endure the chaos of the toasts. β
"Today, Zhu Tusi has repeatedly violated the law of the country, indiscriminately violated the provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou, and suffered a lot of losses."
"Chongqing is lonely and dangerous, and it is deeply worrying, so I decided to go to the army in person, in order to quickly settle the war and protect the people's livelihood."
"Chongqing, Nanchuan, Xichuan, and Guiyang fought several battles, the soldiers used their lives, the generals fought bravely, and won a complete victory!"
"This time in the southwest, the ministers and workers at home and abroad worked together and served their duties. The material of our county's national feather forest, with my expedition to the east and west, has made great contributions. β
"The survey has made it clear, Lu Qin, Zhu Xieyuan, Hou Liangzhu, Wang Sanshan, Qin Liangyu, Zhang Ling, etc., both civil and military are of the same heart, and they are all pillars of talent."
"Today, there are many events at home and abroad, the court is in a hurry to employ people, and the merit is verified afterwards. Do what you want! β
"I hereby proclaim to the world, show the four yi, clearly give the heart of the last resort, and know the meaning of not daring to forgive. Do not go beyond the will and do the punishment, and everyone will keep the righteousness to enjoy the peace. β
After saying that, everyone shouted one after another.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Daming Wansheng!!"
Zhu Youxiao gradually showed a smile on his face, with the imperial sword on his waist, standing on the high platform, and said majestically:
"I am wise and benevolent, and those who are obedient are not in need; Righteous and martial arts, those who jump off the beam, although strong, will be killed. β
"Engrave these words on the stone tablet to warn Xiaoxiao and deter the four yi!"
"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.
After a short time, a group of prisoners were brought to the high platform, and the Ming army guards were surrounded by tiger-eyed eyes, full of contempt and vigilance for these chieftains.
Lu Qin, the governor of the southwest, handed over the sword of Shang Fang with both hands, stepped forward, lowered his head and said: "The minister is trusted by His Majesty, and the governor of the military affairs of the southwest provinces." Fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, surveyed the southwest, and won a big victory! β
Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, took back the sword, and did not speak.
At this time, Lu Qin got up, looked at the soldiers and civilians, and said in a loud voice:
"An Bangyan, slash!"
"An Xiaoliang, and the 32 families of the Tusi Zhang Shichen, An Bangjun, An Ruoshan, Chen Qiyu, Chen Wandian, etc., were all beheaded in Guiyang, and passed on Shouchuan and Gui to set an example!"
The words landed, and An Bangyan was pushed forward.
To this day, An Bangyan also knows that he has planned in many ways before, but it is just a bamboo basket to draw water and a void.
He spit out the numbing medicine that the Ming army forcibly stuffed into his mouth this morning, which was extremely calm, but it was peaceful, and after the linen in his mouth was taken out, he broke out a few words of local words.
"What did he say?"
Zhu Youxiao asked coldly, Wang Chaofu rarely saw such a dragon, and he was also surprised that the emperor attached importance to the southwest.
Everyone waited silently for a moment, Zhu Youxiao walked up to An Xiaoliang, looked at him condescendingly, and smiled coldly.
"Wrenched his tongue for me, noise!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao walked straight back a few steps and ordered:
"Slash!"
At the sound of an order, the second pass of the Han generals was four, the fourth pass was eight, and then the sixteenth and thirty-two people shouted one after another, and the waves were higher and higher.
"Slash!"
"Slashβ"
The sound shook the whole city of Guiyang, followed by the mountain shouts of countless generals and schools, as well as the sound of war drums and ceremonial music, as well as the shouts and scolding of the people, which resounded throughout the world of Guiyang.
An Bangyan was beheaded off with a knife, maybe he still regretted it until he died, why did he marry such a stupid woman.
An Xiaoliang was also a knife thing, but because he said one more word that the Ming army didn't understand, he suffered alive and was twisted his tongue first.
As for the rest of the toasts, some are as calm as water like An Bangyan, and some are frantically struggling to beg for mercy.
In any case, the noise gradually dissipated, the bloodshed gradually subsided, and even the soldiers and civilians went home and returned to the camp.
When the sun sets, the impassioned enthusiasm of the day disappears, but the stone monument erected in Guiyang City still stands here.
The stele is engraved with a line of small letters.
"In September of the first year of the Apocalypse, the emperor personally conquered and beheaded An Bangyan and 33 Tusi in the southwest."
......
After pacifying Luxury Chongming and Luxury Shehui, the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou was also reshuffled.
The death of Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, has been investigated later, and the general Ma Hong is not guilty, and he has made meritorious contributions to the warehouse, and he has been promoted to the general manager of Chongqing.
Xu Keqiu's death was also implicated in party disputes.
Because he was a member of the Donglin Party, this death caused an uproar in the DPRK and China, and during Zhu Youxiao's personal campaign, countless copies were sent to the camp, all saying that Ma Hong would be severely punished.
Previously, Zhu Youxiao ignored everything.
When the news of the great victory came out, the storms in the DPRK and China seemed to have disappeared with this great victory, and now the recital that Zhu Youxiao received was all humble congratulations.
With a great victory in the southwest, the emperor's prestige began to rise, and the eunuchs began to exert their strength.
For example, Cui Chengxiu of the Ministry of War and Gu Bingqian of the Cabinet were all overly sloppy to defend General Ma Hong and impeach Donglin Yan for arrogating power.
Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to dismiss a group of Donglin officials, which was a matter in Beijing.
Xu Keqiu died, and the Donglin Party naturally hoped that its own people would continue to be in charge of Sichuan.
They are Wei Dazhong in the affairs of the bureaucracy, Fang Kezhuang of Zhejiang Daoyu Shifang, and Liu Kexun, the deputy envoy of the Linguan military garrison who has contributed to quelling the chaos.
But it's a pity that Zhu Youxiao didn't even read the inscription book sent by Zijing Shi, so he ordered Wang Chaofu to burn it.
If you are in the southwest, you have to be willful!
Zhu Xieyuan has made great contributions to quelling the chaos, why can't he continue to be the governor of Sichuan?
Not only do I want him to continue to be a servant, but I also want to give him the title of secretary of the military department, so that he can nominally manage the military affairs of Guizhou.
As for Wang Sanshan, although he is a member of the Donglin Party, he can quickly quell the chaos this time, and he has also made great contributions, so let him continue to be the governor of Guizhou.
It is worth mentioning that Shi Yongan, the imperial historian who had a conflict with the former governor Li Zheng in Guiyang City at that time, was also recommended by Wei Zhongxian this time, and was quietly transferred to the Beijing Division and went to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
To calm down the war, all that remains is how to deal with the aftermath, Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to just leave on the front foot, and the southwest is in chaos again.
After several discussions, Zhu Youxiao abandoned the policy of "using razing to control razing" that had been continued, and decided to use force to forcibly carry out the "reform of the land and return it to the stream."
Including the Shuixian clan, there were 34 big toasts that could be put on the table.
In response to these thirty-four relatively large toasts, Zhu Youxiao first issued an order to kill the two culprits of the luxury family and the An family, leaving no one behind.
The rest, such as Wuding Zhang's family, only punished the evil, guaranteed not to bring up the old things again, and calmed people's hearts a little.
After this time, the imperial court will cancel its establishment, merge all the land of Yongning Xuanfu Division into Xuzhou, and set up the Xuzhou Mansion, which will be governed by the officials appointed by the DPRK and the central government.
Since then, Yongning Xuanfu Division has completely become history.
Tusi who participated in the rebellion, regardless of their size, were disqualified from inheriting the Xuanfu envoy in later generations, but if they passed the examination, they could be allowed to serve as state and government officials in the southwest region.
This involved an important policy, namely the establishment of lectures in the southwest region and the eradication of Tusi culture.
The powerful Donglin scholars, as well as the local jinshi and students who are waiting to fill the vacancies, all have to come here to experience it, and they are called in the beautiful name:
The time has come when Daming needs you!
Even Zhu Youxiao also stipulated that if you have a meritorious reputation and want to be an official, after two years of lecturing in the southwest region, the imperial court will definitely arrange for you to fill the vacancy.
