Zhang Jing'an, their plan can't be said bad, now in addition to the west, the other three sides have the Ming army, the 100,000 horses of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan, and hundreds of thousands of Yi people are surrounded in it, the west is blocked by the Jinsha River and the Dadu River, how can it not be reassuring, in case Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan are determined to give up the nest, all the way to Tibet, between the mountains and rivers, more than 200,000 Ming troops will fall into the embarrassing situation of withdrawing or staying, Zhu Xieyuan has long discovered this problem, his original idea is to lure the snake out of the hole, annihilate the enemy's main force, and then force the remnants to surrender, and finally get a long-term peace

Zhu Xieyuan's suggestion did not get the attention of the imperial court, according to Tianqi, it was to take this opportunity to abolish the Tusi system. The Sichuan junction can not allow the existence of the Tusi, this time after the extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan raised troops, many small Tusi heard the wind and followed, indicating that the gift of the imperial court could not get the gratitude and loyalty of the Tusi, and it did not appear many years after the Banzhou Rebellion in the Wanli period, which showed how serious the mistake was to cut the grass at that time, and how serious the mistake was to eradicate the roots, Nurhachi was equivalent to a rebellious Tusi in the final analysis, so the determination of the Apocalypse to abolish the Tusi was very great, and he did not hesitate to spend a few more years to do it without leaving any trouble

Zhu Xieyuan saw that the essence of Zhang Jing'an's plan was to cut off his retreat, as long as he succeeded, he would let Yu Chongming and An Bangyan fall into the encirclement on all sides, but he looked at the map carefully and found a problem, he asked Zhang Jing'an: "The idea of the two general soldiers is very good, but I have two questions: one is that now our army is only stationed in Zunyi, Yongning, and Xuzhou, and if you want to enter the army, you have to fight a tough battle, and you don't have the people who came from, and the other is that Zhenxiong is too close to Dongchuan and Wusa, which are entrenched by the rebels, and he is too deep for fear of repeating the mistakes of Wang Sanshan."

Wang Sanshan is the former governor of Guizhou, three years of the Apocalypse, he personally led the army of 60,000 to cross the Luguang River, directly smashed the rebel base area, Dafang, because the road is far away, the middle way is more dangerous and inconvenient, support and transport grain and grass, Wang Sanshan in Tun Dafang three months after the grain is exhausted, forced to retreat, on the way to retreat, the Ming army was chased by the rebels, defeated, Wang Sanshan was captured and killed, with the officers killed in the battle, there are hundreds of people, everyone agrees that this is a lone army deep only to encounter the fiasco

Zhang Jing'an said: "The premise of this plan is to first train the usable soldiers, the old and weak tired soldiers who can't be used, we will also train, but to train their skills such as repairing houses and farming, etc., and when these unusable people go back, they need two adults to recruit enough soldiers to make up for it, or simply come to the new soldiers and send the veterans away, and slowly turn the old soldiers with low combat effectiveness into young and elite soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, as for whether we will be alone again, and encounter a defeat like Governor Wang, the last general thinks that as long as the road is repaired and repaired, it will not be."

Zhu Xieyuan asked: "Does General Zhang mean that you want to work step by step, not to mention how long it will take to train an army that can fight well, but also to say that you will build roads and houses along the way in the lofty mountains and mountains of Guizhou, and you are ready to complete such a huge project in a few years?"

Zhang Jing'an said: "We are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we only know how to obey the orders of the Military Affairs Yuan and be loyal to the emperor, the Military Affairs Yuan is expected to take as long as the time, we don't ask much, if the time given is long, we will be more meticulous, take our time, we must do less deaths, try to satisfy everyone, including the Yi people, if the time given is short, we will step up, even if I and Zhao Zongbing personally go up the mountain to kill the enemy, we have no two words."

Zhu Xieyuan was a little confused when he heard this, and turned his head to Gao Di and said: "Master Gao, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, mean that they don't know, they only know obedience and loyalty, don't you know that Lord Gao knows about the arrangements of the Military Affairs Yuan?"

Gao Di nodded and said: "Oh, this official forgot to say that the arrangement of the Military Affairs Yuan is to counter-insurgency as a supplement, and the training of the army is the mainstay, and the big agreement is a plan for three years, that is, within three years, all the guards in the five provinces will be trained in rotation, just like Zhang Zongbing said, the rotation of soldiers will be completed within three years, and the natural military household system will be gradually abolished, so that the people who have reached the age of 16 will serve five years of military service and return to their original household status after retirement."

Zhu Xieyuan thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, three years will be about the same, but what if three years is not enough, do we still have to think about how to pacify the rebels, and then think about how to train the army?"

Gao Di said: "The emperor once said that the rebels should be used to train the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can only be tested in battle, as for the time, it is not a problem, three years is not enough, five years is not enough, fifteen years, that is, we all have to stay in Guizhou for a long time, so Zhao Zongbing must find a way to build a better house for us."

Zhao Shujiao said: "There is no problem, we have already built the temporary shelters of the soldiers one step ahead, and now we are preparing to build a village where they can live with their families, and if the tall adults want to live for a long time, we can build beautiful residences for the adults to live in."

Cai Fuyi looked down on these officers and soldiers from Beijing, Zhang Jing'an and others came to Guizhou a few years ago to check the terrain everywhere, Cai Fuyi thought that these people were going to directly devote themselves to the cause of banditry, at that time was still a little moved, who knew that these people only went around in Guiyang and Zunyi, and after a careful inquiry, they knew that they were going to build houses to make it easier to live, Cai Fuyi had an opinion on these soldiers who only knew how to enjoy them, and now when he saw Zhao Shujiao saying that he wanted to build a village that is convenient for his family to live in, he was even more disdainful, and he only felt a little better when he heard that he wanted to build them beautiful residences, and who would refuse the benefits of seeing the light

Cai Fuyi asked: "General Zhao said that you want to build a beautiful residence, are there many types of houses you build?"

Zhao Shujiao saw Cai Fuyi calling himself General Zhao, and knew that Cai Fuyi's attitude had changed, and secretly said in his heart, this person seems to be righteous, but in fact he is also a person who likes to take advantage of small advantages, he replied: "Lord Cai doesn't know, since the emperor let us just build, regardless of the war, we 30,000 people are only thinking about how to carry out the project, this year or so, people and affairs have been divided into many types of categories, such as repairing houses, it is divided into temporary, simple, practical, beautiful, luxurious, etc., and people are also divided into masons, carpenters, lacquerers, stonemasons, carvers and other different categories"

Cai Fuyi thought for a while and asked: "I understand that the temporary type and simple type of this house are just temporary people, and the practical type may be the tall people who can live for a long time, and we are the highest-level people here, how do you say that you can build a beautiful type instead of a luxury type for tall people?"

Zhao Shujiao said: "The so-called aesthetic type is to carve some paint on the basis of the practical type, and to consider the water source, road and other factors in the selection of the address, and the current conditions of Guiyang can be completely done, but the luxury type is different, in addition to considering the wind direction, sunshine, terrain fluctuations, fire prevention and theft, etc., but also consider the material, workmanship, decoration, feng shui, auspiciousness, court regulations and other factors, as long as Lord Cai can find good materials and is not afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history, we can do it to make several adults satisfied."

Cai Fuyi didn't speak yet, Gao Di called up first: "The general house looks beautiful and generous, you really want to build a palace-like house, I don't dare to live in it, now the emperor is very tight about military spending, and the official doesn't want people to grab any tricks and talk nonsense."

Zhu Xieyuan nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then please ask Lord Gao to make a specific arrangement, since Zhang and Zhao are the main soldiers to train the army, Lord Cai and I can't help much, we can only help from the side."

Gao Di shook his head and said: "The official has already said what you have in mind, you have discussed it, and the official is mainly in charge of coordination and uploading."

Gao Di didn't care, and Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi said that they didn't understand how to train the army more than counterinsurgency, Zhang Jing'an thought about it and said: "I have a suggestion, a few adults are optimistic, Zhao Zongbing and I each bring their own people to live in Zunyi and Guiyang, my side is in charge of training the soldiers who fight the war, and the rest are all by Zhao Zongbing** How to train the two of us have the final say, and the others don't interfere with which people are trained first, where these people will go after the training, you three have the final say, we only accept the order jointly signed by the three of you, so as not to ask the emperor for the final question."

After Gao Di asked Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi's opinions, they also agreed, and everyone discussed the following other matters, and then the meeting was dismissed

On the morning of the second day of the second day of the second lunar month, as soon as the sky was brightened, the school field outside Guiyang City was full of soldiers who had come to gather; Zhang Jing'an brought more than 5,000 people from Huguang at the end of last year, and later Gaodi brought more than 5,000 people from Guangxi, plus 5,000 soldiers from Guizhou who had been called up for training and Sichuan soldiers who had originally been stationed in the Yongning area

Generally speaking, the soldiers had to ride horses, and they had to shout loudly twice to boost morale, but Master Gao Di did not ride a horse, and he did not shout loudly, he came to a makeshift tent on the side of the school yard in a sedan chair, because it was only February, and he was a little afraid of the cold, although he did not like to shout loudly, but the words had to be spoken, so he called the four guerrillas who led the group into tents, and the military affairs institute was to inform them of the notice that the soldiers were to be divided into two parts, and let them go and ask the soldiers for advice, and let them choose for themselves

In fact, these soldiers have known about this for a long time, and many times the official notice is like this, and there is no gossip, and the soldiers have already made their own calculations after hearing the news, and the bold young and the people who think they have two ideas have made up their minds to become warriors through training, and those who are afraid of war find that they finally don't have to fight with others, and they are secretly happy, and they are all looking forward to this day as soon as possible

However, there are not many bold among the 20,000 people, when the four guerrillas went out and asked someone to fill in their own wishes on the roster, after returning to the statistics, it was found that only 5,000 people were willing to fight in the 20,000 people, and after seeing this result, Gao Di's face was blue, and Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi's faces were also extremely ugly, because as the governors of the four provinces, the soldiers of these four provinces should also be treated with reason, and the soldiers under their command are very peace-loving and do not want to fight

Cai Fu saw the result, got angry, took a few steps in his chest, and came to the front of the soldiers, he held back his anger, calmed down his mood, and loudly went to the front line to kill the enemy, how glorious he would be in the future, how many rewards he would get for his military merits, and so on, and he hyped up the benefits, and saw that many soldiers were very excited, and returned to the tent with great satisfaction, and said: "A few of you will send someone to fill in the will again, and let them fill in the roster that they started to fill in, and accidentally fell into the brazier, let them fill it again."
