Chapter 133: The Rise of Sha and Pu

In fact, as early as the Hongwu period, there was already social science in the southwest region.

It's just that after it was established, it didn't pay much attention to it, but some of the Han children who migrated here went to school, and most of them artificially left the borderlands.

Now, Zhu Youxiao's personal campaign is a great victory, not only to deal with the big tails, but also to encourage the local people to study with the Han people.

This first edict was aimed at scholars of merit such as jinshi and prison students who were waiting to fill vacancies in other regions.

After many people get the fame, they have to wait for many years to fill the vacancy, and there are even young Jinshi and the first, who can only fill the vacancy in their twilight years, which is an example of a county order.

As soon as this edict was issued, it directly caused an uproar throughout the country.

In the minds of many scholars, the southwest and Liaodong are two places that are as far away as possible, and one is the uncertainty of these two places.

All kinds of contradictions and civil and military struggles have made the situation in the southwest more dangerous and chaotic, and it is by no means a big victory that can be completely declared.

These edicts may not have much effect in the short term, but Zhu Youxiao is convinced that this is a move that will benefit the present generation and the future.

There is never a shortage of people who are officials in the world, and in order to get an official position, they can do many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Zhu Youxiao's encouragement to lecture in the southwest and educate the indigenous people was an opportunity for many people.

If he has a meritorious reputation and comes out after two years of lecturing in the southwestern provinces, the imperial court will definitely fill the vacancy. As soon as this kind of explicit regulation came out, many scholars who boasted of being full of wealth but had nowhere to serve the country were excited.

The southwest is poor and backward, and the indigenous people have deep contradictions with the Han people, and many people are caught in the choice of life path.

Do you continue to wait for the filling of the vacancy with no end in sight, or grit your teeth, stomp your feet, go to the southwest to lecture for two years, and come out to be on the side of the official?

Who knows if this policy will continue in two years, after this village, there may not be this store...

Zhu Youxiao threw this problem to the scholars of the world, and for the imperial court, this policy was a multiplicity.

It can not only allow many scholars who have no governance experience to go to the southwest to experience it, select talented people, and serve the imperial court.

It is also possible to weaken the strength of the local sergeants, and get some scholars who are full of food and have nothing to do to the southwest border to do some practical things.

The rebellion of Lu'an was put down in the first year of the Apocalypse, and for the provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou, Zhu Youxiao eliminated more than 30 big Tusi, and set up a state capital on their Tusi and appointed officials to govern it.

After the Yongning Xuanfu Division was merged into the Xuzhou Prefecture, the Tusi in Sichuan, which is incomparably larger, will probably be completed this year under the promotion of Zhu Xieyuan and Hou Liangzhu.

Regarding the complicated situation in Guizhou, Zhu Youxiao considered it several times, and finally gave another order on the way to the class.

First, the Guizhou Propaganda Department was changed to the Shuixi Propaganda Department, and the post of Propaganda and Comfort Envoy was removed, and the establishment of the Propaganda Department was nominally retained, but it has been completely changed to the governance of the Liuguan.

Second, seize most of the land of several large Tusi that are communicated with An's family, and set up 12 counties, each of which is affiliated with the prefecture and government.

Try to make the big toast in Guizhou disappear one by one.

Third, in this rebellion, more than ten families such as Dongchuan Tusilu Qianzhong did not help the rebels, but they also pushed back and blocked the imperial court's recruitment.

In response to this, the imperial court will deprive Dongchuan, Kuandian and other Tusi of the land of twelve horses, set up Kaizhou, and subordinate to Guizhou Prefecture.

And for these more than ten Tusi, the number of camps and the number of native soldiers were further strictly restricted.

Fourth, a large number of local people were recruited, 36 cities were built along the river, three new guards were placed, new troops were recruited, and meritorious generals were appointed to defend the rebellion.

If you look at it from the map, these 36 guards and offices form a big net, almost enclosing the entire Guizhou.

If there is another war, the day and night will be calm.

As for Lu Qin, the temporary governor of the four provinces, Zhu Youxiao did not let him go back this time, but asked him to continue the military affairs of the governor of Sichuan and Gui, and stationed in Guiyang.

This governor, he will be at least a few more years until the southwest is almost stable.

There is no one with outstanding ability left, and it is not safe to leave.

Riding on the war horse, Zhu Youxiao stared at the direction of the Beijing Division, then looked back at the sunset behind him, shook his head, and said:

"Back to Beijing!"

Compared with before leaving Beijing, many people's immature faces are a little tenacious. The current Zhu Youxiao is no longer the original self.

Accompanied by ceremonial music, drums, and flags in the sky, the soldiers and horses that left Beijing a few months ago returned to Beijing in triumph with the might of a great victory.

In Jingshi, more difficulties awaited this emperor.

......

This big victory is actually a pyrrhic victory.

This turmoil restrained almost all the troops in Sichuan and Guizhou, as well as most of the troops in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao took only one year to quell this war, which had been fought for more than ten years in history.

Unfortunately, after a few months, the war alone caused the Ming Dynasty government to almost collapse.

Listening to Wang Chaofu's report on the loss of war, Zhu Youxiao's heart was dripping blood.

Only those who are in the midst of a war can know how a big war of this magnitude will shake the country.

The long-planned rebellion of the Tusi not only brought disasters to the people of Sichuan and Guizhou, but also caused countless people to be ruined and their wives separated, and the secret impact on the rest of the provinces was also quite profound.

Taking Yunnan as an example, Zhu Youxiao once ordered Mu Qiyuan, the Duke of Qianguo, to lead troops to help in the war, but he shirked in many ways and turned a blind eye.

His father Mu Changzuo is the same, greedy for life and afraid of death, he closed the door of the mansion, and the two were really father and son.

The Yunnan Metropolitan Xu Chengming and others were defeated one after another, resulting in the local officials and troops having to continue to send troops to aid Sichuan, and their strength was sharply reduced.

There were also many local Tusi in Yunnan who directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion.

The small fight is to take advantage of the Yunnan army to aid Sichuan, send troops to plunder the place, attack the city, and the movement is bigger, and also capture the acropolis.

All kinds of big and small things cannot be described in detail. Although Yunnan was not a war-torn region, its losses were not small.

This is true in Yunnan, but also in the rest of the provinces.

Some of the Tusi of Yunnan and Guangxi were sent to aid Sichuan, and there was a mutiny on the road, or there was a conflict with the Ming army, and there was a big fight, and then the two sides fought separately and were broken by the rebels. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

After the rebellion, the Tusi began to ask the court for the help of quelling the rebellion, and the land, people, cattle and horses were all lions' big mouths, which were extremely difficult to deal with.

Tusi made a fuss, whether they participated in the rebellion or participated in the counterinsurgency, they all had common interests.

It is these interests that allow the Tusi to communicate with each other, and the chaos on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guizhou provinces are almost all in war for a time.

However, the main battlefields of this counterinsurgency were in Sichuan and Guizhou.

At that time, Guizhou and Sichuan sent several letters to other provinces, asking for reinforcements, and some of them, like the former governor of Sichuan, Li Zong, took out loans to purchase ordnance to defend the city.

However, the rest of the provinces also have varying degrees of Tusi rebellion, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they have spare troops to help?

Min Hongxue, the governor of Yunnan, once replied to Li Zong.

The letter is full of sarcastic words, saying that you, Li Zong, also think about me, Yunnan is also in chaos, and you have to send troops to Sichuan, you want my life too much.

In short, behind this great victory was the sharp reduction of the military power of the imperial court in the southwestern provinces, as well as the chaos and disorder among the Tusi.

Since Wanli, the discipline of officers and men in the southwestern provinces has been lax, and they are almost unbearable for a war.

Relatively speaking, although the equipment is insufficient, but relatively brave, Wanli three major expeditions, opened a precedent for large-scale recruitment of native soldiers to participate in the war.

After each war, it was necessary to reward the Tusi on a large scale, and the Tusi who participated in the war further expanded their armaments and absorbed a lot of surrenders.

Therefore, the power has risen sharply, burying the hidden danger of Tusi chaos in the southwest.

Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan were rewarded by the Wanli Emperor after participating in the Battle of Banzhou, and gradually formed a trend of secession in Sichuan and Guizhou.

After this war, Zhu Youxiao stayed in Guiyang for a while, deliberately suppressed the toast by force, and did not routinely reward him.

This made the Tusi who participated in the war dissatisfied, but it also restrained the growth of their power.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon some officials reported that in this counterinsurgency, Ami Prefecture Tuzhi Prefecture Pu Fame, Annan Governor Sha Yuan, etc., had a lot of effectiveness, actively counterinsurgency, and defeated many rebel Tusi.

The two of them incorporated many of the defeated troops of the rebel Tusi, and with the meritorious service of counterinsurgency, their prestige and military strength began to inevitably increase.

Of course, the two of them don't have any idea of rebellion yet, after all, Yu Chongming and An Bangyan are dying in front of their eyes.

The fact that the imperial army quickly resolved the war that affected several provinces, and even attracted the emperor to conquer it himself, is enough to show that it attaches great importance to Guizhou affairs, which is no less than that of Liao.

The combat effectiveness of the new army of the Yongwei Battalion also made them tremble.
