Chapter 953: The Beginning of the Great Rebellion
Looking at the same moonlight, the new Tuntian policy was issued to the Annan Tun Marshal Mansion, and after Liu Wei, the commander of Annan Tun saw the Tuntian New Deal sent by the Political Affairs Hall, he snorted angrily and slapped the official document on the table.
Two years later, Emperor Su followed the example of the Anxi Tun Army and set up two garrisons in Anxi and Anbei at the same time. The Anbei Tun army is located in Dengzhou and Leizhou, and the soldiers who are retired from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate and the disabled soldiers who fought with the desert people are placed nearby, and there are more than 60,000 people in the entire Anbei Tun army, but more than half of the disabled people are disabled, and the marshal's mansion is located in Leizhou; The establishment of the Annan Tun Army is mainly due to the fact that the retired soldiers of the Annan and Andong Metropolitan Protectorate are too far away to Anxi Tuntian, and the water and soil are not adaptable to the water and soil and are easy to cause deaths, and the Miao Village is sometimes descending and sometimes rebelling, so the Annan Tun Marshal Mansion was established at the junction of Qianzhou and Shaozhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.
The Annan Tun army had only 23,000 men, the smallest of the three major tun armies. Because Qianzhou and Shaozhou are mountainous and have little land, most of the land allocated by the Tun army is sloping fields, because of the lack of water, the output of rice planted is only eight or nine buckets, and in addition to paying half of the public grain, the remaining is less than 20 stones, which is far from being comparable with the Anxi Tun army. The local rice price is 30 yuan, and one person can only eat seven stones, and the family members of the Annan Tun army are very few, and the extra grain can be sold for four or five taels of silver, and sent home to subsidize the family, and the tun army is quite stable.
Tuntian has a lot of oil and water, and Liu Weineng is naturally inseparable from the trust of Ning Tao, the governor of Annan, when he sits in the position of Tun Shuai. He was a guerrilla general of the Annan battalion, stationed near Miao Village for many years, and after Ning Tao became the governor of Annan, he changed the policy of blockade and strict prevention, encouraged trade with Miao Village, and did not allow ungang infringement of the interests of Miao people. Many generals in the Annan camp were accustomed to getting benefits from Miao Village, but Liu Wei strictly followed the orders of the marshal, and there was never any injury in the town where he was stationed.
Liu Wei has been in the army for more than 20 years, so naturally he will not be as clear as water, falsely reporting the number of troops in the tun, secretly organizing the army to trade with Miao Village, selling grain, etc., and making a profit of 350,000 taels a year. Last year, the court sent a field clearing inspection team to clear out only about 200 hectares of hidden farmland, but in fact, this number is more than 20 times. Annan Tuntian is widely distributed, mostly in the mountains, and Liu Wei intentionally or unintentionally instilled in the Qingtian envoys that the Miao people killed the Zheng people, and those Qingtian envoys casually went around the county town and handed over errands.
After Shi Chongwei ascended the throne, there were rumors that the four major governors would be replaced, and there were even rumors that Zhang Yuanguan, the general of the Right Military Guard, would replace General Ning. Liu Wei knows that the benefits of Tuntian can't be hidden, this is a fat difference, if Zhang Yuanguan becomes the marshal of Annan, his position as the commander of Tun will not be long before he will be replaced.
His eyes fell on the official document on the table, Liu Wei's heart moved, he could imagine that the new policy would definitely cause an uproar after the Tun army learned about it, one percent of grain is about four to five stones, one bucket is twenty wen, one stone is two hundred wen, and four to five stones is almost one or two silver. For ordinary troops, if they suddenly lose 20% of their income, they will definitely not do it.
Liu Wei touched his beard and thought about his thoughts, if he took the opportunity to make some trouble, General Ning would definitely let himself come forward to settle it, he might as well wait for the matter to get bigger, and alarm the court before making a move, so that the court would know that he would not obey the army if he left him. There are three tun army commanders under his command, and these three people are all from the tuntian, and those hidden fields are cultivated by the tun army, and most of the benefits fall into their pockets. Liu Wei instructed: "Come here, please invite the three generals Zhao, Xu, and Yang to the Shuai's Mansion tomorrow to talk." ”
The next day, the three commanders came to the Annan Tun Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Bingzhong smiled and said: "Liu Shuai, it seems that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you always show mercy to everyone and give everyone a reward, Lao Zhao thanked Liu Shuai on behalf of the eight thousand brothers under his command." ”
Liu Wei snorted coldly and said, "Festival reward, don't dream, the court ordered us to sell grain at the price of ten cents and one bucket, and prepare to build a granary in case of emergency." This is an official document, you can take a look at it, and when you go back, you will act according to the will of the court. ”
Xu Mingde first fried the pot and shouted: "Ten dollars and one bucket to collect grain, why don't the court rob it, this is not to give us a way to live." Liu Shuai, you have to make a statement to Ning Shuai, let him make decisions for us, and make a case to the court. ”
Liu Wei said coldly: "The Anxi Tun Army has implemented a new policy, and it is said that it sold 600,000 stone grain at once, and Jiang Jinglu's envoy and Feng Dingzhong have won the praise of the Son of Heaven. There is a precedent, if we disobey the order, I am afraid that the board will be knocked down soon. ”
"Can we compare with Huazhou, Huazhou is all ripe fields, we are all sloping fields, Anxi Tunjun can produce six or seven half grains per mu, and we don't have half of them." Zhao Bingzhong shouted angrily: "The Anxi Tun army is full, and there is money to pat the court's sycophants, let's guard the poor mountains and bad waters, and the court will not take the initiative to fight this bit of food, this field will simply not be tun, let's go home everywhere." ”
Yang Sixuan read the official document, passed it down to Xu Mingdao, and said after a while: "The court only accounts for one percent of the grain collected by the court, which is not a big deal, at most we will subsidize some of the soldiers from elsewhere, the key is that the court wants to take away the twenty acres of land allocated by the soldiers in their homes, I am afraid that the vast majority of the soldiers cannot agree, the fields here are mostly sloping fields, how can they be worth the fields at home, and the twenty acres of land at home can at least be worth forty acres here." These soldiers abandoned their families and abandoned their children in Qianzhou and Shaozhou, which is nothing more than to let the family have more food, and if the court takes away the fields at home, I am afraid that many people will want to go home and farm. ”
"Yes, the Anxi Tunjun has Jiang Anyi to take care of, I heard that the annual subsidy is as much as 100,000 taels of silver, and Tuntian is close to the border, so it makes money by selling water on the roadside, so most of the family members of the Anxi Tunjun went to Huazhou, and the family's fields were either given to relatives, or rented to others, and the court wanted to take it back." Xu Mingde put down the official document and said with a cold face: "But we are different, many brothers point to the twenty acres of land at home to make food and clothing." ”
Liu Wei said: "I don't know the difficulties of the brothers, you should go with me to the Anxi Protectorate to see Ning Shuai, tell the big shuai about our difficulties, and ask the big shuai to make decisions for us." ”
The Anxi Protectorate is half a day's journey away from the Tunshuai Mansion, and when Shen Zheng, Liu Wei and others entered the Huairen Mansion in Qianzhou, and the Anxi Protectorate Mansion is located here. Ning Tao frowned when he heard that Liu Wei and others were coming, he had read the official document of the court to implement the new Tuntian policy, and knew that Liu Wei and others had come to complain. But Ning Tao has his own difficulties, Emperor Su died, the new emperor's trust in him is far less than the first emperor, he has learned from friends in Beijing many times that Zhang Yuanguan is coming to replace him, at this time Liu Wei and others came, must have asked him to intercede with the Son of Heaven against the new Tuntian policy, the result of this will only speed up his departure, and it will not help.
After listening to the accounts of Liu Wei and others, and learning that the implementation of the new policy might cause the troops to return to their hometowns, Ning Tao said: "The government of Tuntian and the army will consolidate the borders, and the battalion will not lack grain and grass because of it, and it must not be abolished because of the new policy." Liu Wei, a few of you wrote down the possible consequences of the implementation of the new policy in the army, and the commander signed and sent it to the court, striving to make the court retract its fate. However, the establishment of the granary should not be delayed, and this matter is beneficial to the people of the country, so it can be done first. ”
The next day, the recitals of the Annan camp and the Annan Tun army were sent from Huairen Mansion and delivered to the capital in September. With the acquiescence of Liu Wei and others, the tide became more and more intense, and even Ning Tao was alarmed, and made a special trip to various places to appease the Tun army, claiming that he had already written to the court and would not take back the fields in the homes of the army.
On the eighth day of the ninth month, the political affairs hall received the transcript of the Annan Tun army, and the principal of the receiving document did not dare to delay after reading it, and immediately reported it to the right minister. Zuo Xiangkong Province is getting older, his energy is not good, and most of the details are handled by Duan Cizong, Duan Cizong has read the recital of the Annan Tunjun, and then read Ning Tao's recital, which reads: "...... More than 20,000 troops are only more than 40,000 hectares of land, and there is no big supplement to recover from the country, and the army will be chaotic when the fields are recovered, and the government of Tuntian in Annam will be abolished, and the court will consume more than this amount in raising military rations for the army of Annam......
The new Tuntian policy Duan Cizong and Kong Province that the Son of Heaven came up with were actually not in favor, but the implementation of the Anxi Tun Army was smooth, and the Son of Heaven felt that he had perfected the Tuntian policy implemented by Emperor Su, and he praised himself in front of the ministers, and the two ministers were not good at pouring cold water on the Son of Heaven. However, this basin of cold water was finally poured by the Annan Tun army, Duan Cizong thought about it, and took the music book to discuss with Kong Province.
After reading it, Kong Xing sighed: "Ning Tao's recital is extremely true, recovering the acres of land in the Tun army's home will inevitably lead to the return of the Tun army, and even cause the Tun army to mutiny. ”
Zichen Palace, Shi Chongwei has seen the recital of Annan Tunjun and Ning Tao, Kong Province and Duan Cizong persuaded one after another, Shi Chongwei said with a gloomy face: "The new Tuntian policy has been successfully implemented in the Anxi Tun Army, and the effect is excellent, why can't it be pushed when it arrives in Annan, if there is a mutiny, I don't believe it, my army will raise the flag to resist the court, it is clear that the commander is incompetent, and use this as an excuse." ”
Duan Cizong was just about to speak, Shi Chongwei stood up and said, "I am not a person who can't listen to advice, since the two prime ministers think that this matter should be postponed, then we will talk about it next year." Kong Qing and Duan Qing discussed with the Taiwei Mansion and the Six Ministries how to implement it slowly. I'm a little tired, let's go away. ”
With a flick of his sleeves, Shi Chongwei left, leaving Kong Province, Duan Cizong and others to look at each other. In the imperial study, Shi Chongwei was angry and ordered: "Let Taiwei Zhu and Ding Shangshu enter the pilgrimage." ”
A pillar of incense, both of them came by order, and both of them were present in the Zichen Palace, so they naturally understood the intention of the Son of Heaven to summon them. Shi Chongwei asked directly: "When the emperor was there, he called Ning Tao, the governor of Annan, a famous general, and it was really useless to put him in Qianzhou, and I wanted to be transferred to the camp in the north of the town as the deputy marshal, what do the two Aiqing think?" ”
Zhu Zipu, the captain, is not as tough as his father, and the Son of Heaven has a life, but only the only one. Ding Dawei, the secretary of the military department, knew that the Son of Heaven intended to replace himself, Shi Chongwei had been stubborn and self-serving since he ascended the throne, and he couldn't listen to the words of the contrary.
As a result, Ning Tao was transferred to the camp of Zhenbei as the deputy marshal, and Zhang Yuanguan, the general of the Right Military Guard, took over as the governor of Annan and soon issued a decree from the court.
A great chaos that swept the world was about to start with the Annan Tun army.
