Chapter 100: Ping Yaoce
"The Governor greets the Governor." When Ye Sheng saw Han Yong coming, he naturally wouldn't open the door. Immediately go down to the city to greet without mentioning.
Han Yong picked up Ye Sheng and said, "Lord Ye, this Xunzhou is guarding well. ”
Ye Sheng said: "This is a matter of the lower officials. ”
Han Yong asked Ye Sheng to visit the city wall of Xunzhou. and the people of Xunzhou Mansion.
Han Yong nodded secretly in his heart.
Although Han Yong of the Guangxi Guards has not seen all of them, he has also seen several places, and in his opinion, the quality of the people of Xunzhou is much stronger than that of most of the guards.
This made Han Yong feel a little happy in his heart.
Han Yong performed very well in the disaster relief in Jiangxi, and he was not an incapable person. But after he came to Guangxi, he felt extremely constrained.
He had to face the contradictions between the two provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong.
For Guangdong Province, for so many years, Guangxi has been given assistance every year. But there has never been a return, and even the chaotic people in Datengxia have spread to Guangdong Province.
Some health centers in Qinzhou, Guangdong, have been robbed. Even in some mountainous areas in northern Guangdong, there are people who echo Datengxia.
In particular, it is noted that the area around Qinzhou in the Ming Dynasty was Guangdong Province, not Guangxi Province.
Such a situation makes Guangdong Province very suspicious of Guangxi.
Similarly, Guangxi's prevarication and accusations against Guangdong Province for the war also made Guangxi very annoyed.
As far as Guangxi is concerned, is Guangdong's assistance a favor from Guangdong to Guangxi?
No.
It was the meaning of the imperial court, but it was too far from Beijing to be allocated by Guangdong, and even this account had to be passed through the household department.
As for your Guangdong being looted, what does this have to do with me in Guangxi, I have the ability to go to Hou Dagou to talk about it.
Therefore, after Han Yong became the governor of Liangguang, the first thing he faced was not the problem of Datengxia, but how to bridge the contradiction between the two provinces.
For Han Yong, this is not easy to do.
I have to admit that Han Yong's qualifications are a little shallow compared to others.
He is the Jinshi who has been orthodox for seven years. This qualification is still okay at the governor level, but in the position of the governor of Liangguang, it is a bit shallow.
If you have shallow qualifications, you can't convince the public.
Han Yong took a lot of effort to straighten out this place.
Immediately after that, he found that the situation in Guangxi was worse than he imagined.
He can't stand a passive situation. wanted to take a more positive situation, but had a fierce conflict with Liu Pu, and finally developed to the point where each wrote to impeach each other.
In this way, he must clean up the mess of Liu Pu's sudden departure.
So much so that there was a situation in which Hou Dagou besieged Xunzhou City.
The reason why Han Yong didn't come to save Xunzhou in the first place was to calm down the chaos in other aspects. Xunzhou
It's the last battle. After this battle, a total of more than 1,000 people were beheaded, and the rebels were driven back to the Great Teng Gorge.
Yes, you can report a big victory.
As a matter of fact, the situation of erosion in various prefectures and counties in Guangxi has been further deepened.
Han Yong was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of fate he would have after this matter reached Jingshi. However, in Xunzhou, he saw a glimmer of hope.
This hope is the people in Xunzhou City.
Han Yong felt that he had to fight for a victory to make up for this incident.
However, with the strength of the garrison army, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, if it were possible, Liu Pu would not know that the emperor would be angry, and he would be hesitant.
Han Yong became more enthusiastic about Ye Sheng. The two sat down in the Yamen of the Xunzhou Prefect, and after describing the name of the department, the relationship seemed to be closer.
Han Yong asked: "Brother Ye Xian, you have been in Xunzhou for three years, how can you teach me about the Datengxia?" ”
"Don't dare to be." Ye Sheng said: "Xia Guan has been in Guangxi for a long time, but he also has a foolish gain. The Datengxia Rebellion was originally just a trivial matter, but it was a martial artist who killed a lot, "Especially Gu Xingzu, in the early years of orthodoxy, he killed countless people in Datengxia, and he beheaded tens of thousands of people for just a trivial matter, and even His Majesty was shocked. In the Dateng Gorge, it is the family with filial piety, and every household is bereavement, and since then, the big surname clan in the Dateng Gorge is determined to take revenge. ”
"From now on, when you see Han people, you will kill them."
"That's where we are."
Han Yong also sighed softly.
Shanyun, Liu Pu, and other generals are still relatively capable. But Gu Xingzu, the second ancestor, even made a lot of credit.
Gu Xingzu served in Guangxi in the early years of orthodoxy, and he killed Datengxia to the point of bleeding all over the place, if he could really kill everyone in Datengxia.
He refused to go deep into the mountains of the Great Tengxia Gorge. A few years later, that is, in the seventh year of orthodoxy, after the Yao people of Datengxia recovered some vitality, and now for more than ten years, the chaos has become more and more intense.
It's not that no one wants to appease Yaomin, but this kind of unsolvable hatred makes the contradictions between the two sides irreconcilable.
Han Yong said: "Your Majesty entrusts me with this matter, and I always have to do it. In your opinion, where do you start? ”
Ye Sheng said: "It's still appeasement, killing people can't solve the problem." ”
Han Yong nodded and shook his head again.
He nodded, admitting that it was impossible to kill the Yao people in the hundreds of miles of Dateng Gorge. Even if it is a large-scale killing, after a few decades, after the Yao people recuperate, there will be a new round of chaos.
Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
But now in the ravine of the deep blood feud between the two sides, it is so difficult to say that it is appeased.
Liu Pu's appeasement was just an excuse to maintain the situation, but Ye Sheng's appeasement was a real appeasement.
Ye Sheng said: "Born with Huang Li, there is no difference
, the people of Guangxi are the people, and the people in the Dateng Gorge are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to quell the chaos in Datengxia, you can only end the current situation by letting the Yao people of Datengxia go down the mountain to plant. ”
Although the Ming Dynasty has been recuperating for decades, many places are overcrowded, such as Fujian and Jiangxi. But as far as Guangxi is concerned, most of the area is still vast and sparsely populated.
For example, Ye Sheng's Xunzhou Mansion. It is an impact plain, and it is also one of the important grain-producing areas in Guangxi, but on the whole, compared with other prefectures and counties in Daming, it is still much worse.
And all the people in the Great Tengxia Gorge are only a few hundred thousand people.
Guangxi has enough land for resettlement.
This is the best solution in an ideal situation.
Han Yong sighed and said, "How easy is it? ”
Ye Sheng said: "Therefore, it is necessary to show it with authority, punish it with punishment, and follow it with courtesy, so that it can be moved with affection." ”
Ye Sheng talked for a long time before revealing his grandeur.
If you just look at the front, everyone thinks that Ye Sheng is a good gentleman, no, he can use any solution for a noble purpose.
When Han Yong heard this, he only felt that in his heart, he leaned forward slightly and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Ye Sheng explained his thoughts in detail, first of all, he had to put forward that the Yao people of Datengxia were unruly, and the people were not subject to the king, so they could not be directly classified under the king.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish the Yao people Tusi first, appease the people, and then move the Yao people down the mountain to resettle.
But the premise of all this is to break the Dateng Gorge and make Hou Dagou the head, and the Yao people can only resist hopelessly. in order to listen to the words of the imperial court.
If attacking the Great Tengxia, Ye Sheng's method is: "Attack by water." ”
Han Yong said: "From the waterway? ”
Ye Sheng said: "Divert the Guangdong Navy Division to the west, cut off the Dateng Gorge, and divide the two sides of the Dateng Gorge. And sent troops to garrison on both sides of the Qianjiang River, so as to cut off the throat of the various departments of Datengxia. ”
Han Yong thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "This may be the only way." ”
Yes, when the army entered the mountain, Han Yong couldn't believe that he could fight any situation. In the deep mountains and old forests, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have no geographical advantage at all, and even if they win, they are still miserable.
The only way to open up 160 miles of the Qianjiang River is the most convenient way.
Han Yong was thinking about whether this method would work, but when he heard footsteps coming outside, a servant came over and whispered a few words in Han Yong's ear, and Han Yong's face suddenly changed. said: "Is this true? ”
"Jinyiwei's news, there should be no mistake." The servant said.
Han Yong's face became even more ugly, and he said, "Jin Yiwei also knows. ”
Ye Sheng said, "What happened to my lord?" ”
Han Yong said: "The Huang family is in civil strife. The prefect of Siming Mansion was killed by his younger brother, and at the same time, the heirs of the prefect of Siming Mansion were killed, and none of them remained. ”
