The news of the Yongning Tusi rebellion soon reached Jingshi, and the government and the opposition were shaken again. Of course, all this was expected by the Left War, and the only omission was that Zhu Kuiyuan was not stopped from dividing his troops to guard, which led to the fact that extravagant Chongming almost became a climate, bringing unnecessary casualties and losses. In order to make up for his mistakes, he held a military aircraft meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures with Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Huang Kezhang, Nan Juyi and others.

Huang Kezhang, as a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang of Wang Gong Factory developed many new firearms, knowing that the Tusi rebellion could not become a climate, he confidently persuaded and said:

"Changing the land and returning to the river is a great plan for a thousand years, and no one in the world admires the great ambition of the saint. Although Yongning Tusi used this as an excuse to raise an army to resist, the old minister thought that this was just an introduction, and most of them had premeditated. However, Yongning and Shuixi have an in-law relationship, which can be regarded as a lip and tooth dependence, and the saint should remind Governor Zhu to be vigilant in advance, so as not to join forces. ”

As soon as the words fell, Fan Jingwen also echoed:

"When the minister heard that when the father and son led 70,000 thieves to besiege Chengdu, the king of Shu scattered all his family property to organize the village brave, and followed the example of the saint Phi Jian and stubbornly climbed the city wall to command the battle, and the people of Chengdu all followed, indicating that the rebellion was unpopular."

Zuo Zhan knew that everyone was comforting with kind words, and mistakenly thought that he would blame himself, and said with a smile:

"When I decided to implement the reform of the land and return it to the river, I expected that the southwest land would take the opportunity to cause chaos. Now Yongning's luxury Chongming is the first to rebel, and An Bangyan in Shuixi, Guizhou will also echo from afar, which is a sure thing. I have ordered Qi Xingguo to lead 2,000 Huben to Sichuan in advance to assist Zhu Kuiyuan and them in quelling the rebellion, and within three months, I will definitely behead the heads of Hao Chongming and An Bangyan to deter other Tusi. ”

Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi had already learned the skills of the little emperor, and said strangely:

"The saint is confident, and the old minister is very impressed. After the land was changed and returned to the stream, it not only eliminated the hidden danger of the southwest Tusi, but also strengthened the strength of the imperial court, which could concentrate on dealing with the pressure from the north and southeast. ”

Zuo Zhan smiled noncommittally, which was an affirmation of the two of them. War is always just a means, and what he has to consider is how to select officials at all levels after the war, stabilize the local people, restore production, and not only become an important tax paying place for the imperial court, but also become an inseparable part of the Chinese nation.

Outside the city of Chongqing, Zhu Kuiyuan condescendingly set up camp and was discussing with the generals the plan for attacking the city, and the herald reported:

"Tell the governor and general, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Qi Xingguo asks to see."

Although Zhu Kuiyuan has served as the secretary of the household department and the military department, and now he is the governor of the four provinces, it can be said that he has a lot of power, but compared to Qi Xingguo and his old son, he can only be regarded as a military primary school student. After hearing this, he personally went to the tent to greet him, and introduced the generals while greeting him, and after the salute, Qi Xingguo said straight to the point:

According to the secret report of the inner line in Chongqing, the rebels are seriously short of food and the morale of the army is unstable. Tonight, the guard general Fan Long will personally go outside the city to receive grain and grass, and the adults can take the opportunity to set up an ambush to capture this person. ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Xingguo clasped his fists and saluted, like a gust of wind and fled.

Zhu Kuiyuan looked at his back, and sighed in his heart that he was really a general, and Qi Shaobao could also be blinded by the spirit of the sky. If Chongqing can be recaptured quickly, then the thieves will lose their barrier, the army can drive straight in, and the counterinsurgency is just around the corner, so that they can offset their achievements.

That night, Zhu Kuiyuan ordered Luo Ganxiang and their deployment to disguise themselves as troops transporting grain, while he himself lay in ambush outside the city and waited for Fan Long and others to take the bait. Due to the lack of food for several days, the soldiers complained bitterly, and the Yongning soldiers rushed forward one after another when they saw the grain ship, as if they had seen candied fruit, and did not find anything unusual. Luo Ganxiang waited for Fan Long to walk in, and then raised his knife in his hand, and shouted with his head:

"The rebel commander has been beheaded, surrender as soon as possible, and the officers and soldiers will give preferential treatment to the prisoners!"

These Tusi soldiers followed Yu Chongming's father and son in order to eat a meal, and they were bullied and exploited by them on weekdays, and when they heard the officials and soldiers shouting preferential treatment for prisoners, they threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. Under their guidance, Zhu Kuiyuan took advantage of the situation to attack the city of Chongqing and captured dozens of Fan Long's henchmen. After severe torture, coercion and temptation, it was learned that Yu Chongming had already returned to Yongning, and his son Hao Yin was stationed in Zunyi, echoing An Bangyan in Guizhou, and was ready to resist stubbornly.

At this time, Luo Ganxiang had been appointed as a guerrilla, wearing a brand-new military uniform to enter and leave the battle, Yongning troops saw this and became more convinced of the imperial court's policy, and they asked for orders to go to the front line to persuade the siblings to surrender, and some insiders even presented the defense map of Zunyi and Yongning to Zhu Kuiyuan.

Here is a brief introduction to the military command structure and military rank system of the Ming Dynasty, in order to facilitate everyone's understanding, let's compare it with New China. The emperor himself is the ******, the imperial horse supervisor is the Central Military Commission, the military department corresponds to the Ministry of National Defense, and the governor's offices of the five armies correspond to each major theater. For example, the Left Army Governor's Office is under the command of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Commandery, the Shandong Metropolitan Commandery, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Commandery, while the Central Military Governor's Office has no specific jurisdiction, and is actually the governing body of the Left, Right, Front, and Rear Governor's Office, and the Ministry of War holds gold medals respectively.

In terms of military ranks, the small flag is the squad leader, the general flag is the platoon leader, and then there are thousands of generals, garrisons, commanders, commanders, guerrillas (deputy army level), staff generals, deputy generals, general soldiers, admirals, governors, and governors. In the last years of Chongzhen, due to the cross-provincial rebellion of Li Zicheng and others, a superintendent was set up, which could command encirclement and suppression operations across the war zone.

To get back to the point, Zhu Kuiyuan got these defense maps like a tiger with wings, and immediately ordered Luo Ganxiang to be the vanguard, Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin to be the rear army, and personally led the army to Yongning. According to the instructions of the little emperor, Zhu Kuiyuan ordered the soldiers to commit no crimes, which won the support of the local people and joined the team to quell the chaos.

In this way, the official army was like a bamboo, and they marched forward, and soon reached the land on the outskirts of Yongning, where they met Hao Yin. Due to the high morale of the officers and soldiers who were well-equipped and the morale was high, many thieves were persuaded by their families to defect, and soon Hao Yin was defeated, and after being wounded, he threw his subordinates and fled alone.

In line with the principle that the first evil must be done, Zhu Kuiyuan issued a massacre order, did not accept the surrender of Haoyin's own soldiers, and the defenders in Yongning City were almost wiped out, and the remaining prisoners and their families immediately moved to Chongqing and Chengdu.

At dawn, there was silence in Yongning City, Zhu Kuiyuan searched the city and did not find Yu Chongming's father and son, and was about to take a nap, Luo Ganxiang broke in with a few villagers.

It turned out that the villagers reported that the day before the siege of the city, Yu Chongming fled south, and according to Luo Ganxiang's inference, he went to his old nest Lin Zhou. It is not only the place where luxury Chongming made his fortune, but also his Jiufang aunt and wife in Jiufeng Tower. For the generals of the defeated army, women are the best healing medicine.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had formed a good habit under the leadership of Zuo Zhan, that is, to hold meetings and discuss in case of problems, and give full play to the advantages of the collective to seek the best plan. After discussion, Qin Liangyu believed that although the combat effectiveness of the official army was strong, it was far from the mountains and the jungle was full of swamps and miasma, which was not suitable for the army to move forward. Luo Ganxiang had never been to Lin Zhou and knew nothing about it.

When everyone was at a loss, the herald reported that the governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, and Qi Qianhu had entered the city. Zhu Kuiyuan and the others hurriedly tidied up their clothes and prepared to go out to greet them, Qi Xingguo had already come to the tent door and shouted loudly:

"Your Excellency the Governor and the generals, this uninvited guest is here again!"

After a period of greetings, Qi Xingguo continued:

"Zhu Kuiyuan, Qin Liangyu, and Ma Xianglin take the order!"

It turned out that Zuo Zhan took into account the history of the Shuixi tribe for more than 1,400 years, and was determined to preserve these intangible cultural heritages for the Chinese nation. Moreover, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang reached a reconciliation with Mrs. Xiangxiang, and after returning to Guizhou, Xiangxiang built the Longchang Nine Stations, which was praised by later generations. Now An Bangyan hijacked the mercenaries of the young master of Shuixi to rebel, and he really didn't want Shuixi to destroy the country because of this, so he ordered Zhu Kuiyuan and others to kill Hao Chongming and An Bangyan and restore Shuixi to the original state, but disarm them and let the governor of Guizhou be responsible.

After Qi Xingguo finished reading it, everyone admired the little emperor's ability to predict the battle situation. The veteran Zhu Kuiyuan keenly discovered the problems in this holy decree and said:

"Dare to ask Lord Qianhu, the Holy Lord only made arrangements for Shuixi, why didn't Yongning say a word?"

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, who were Tusi officials, also looked at Qi Xingguo and Wang Sanshan with the same question, and only heard Wang Sanshan, who was jealous and hateful, say:

"Since the saint didn't mention it, he definitely wanted to cut down the Yongning traitors to the root in order to set an example. The governor received the order to set up prefectures and counties in the locality, arrange for the exiled officials, organize the people to resume production, and reduce taxes and recuperate. General Qin and General Ma don't have to worry, there is Shuixi as an example, I believe that the Holy Lord will treat your people well. ”

Qi Xingguo saw that this Wang Sanshan was a little impulsive when he spoke, worried that he would become the second Ma Ye, and hurriedly explained:

"General Qin's husband is a descendant of the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Ma Yuan, and the saint admires General Ma Yuan very much. I once heard the saint accidentally talk about making General Qin the first lady of the order, and gave him the title of Mrs. Zhensu. Ling Lang Ma Xianglin is the Duke of Fubo, a hereditary second-class duke. ”

Qin Liangyu, whose name is Zhensu, was a native of Zhongzhou, Sichuan, and a famous female general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Husband Ma Qiancheng is a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a hereditary stone propaganda envoy. After Ma Qiancheng was killed, Qin Liangyu took the position of husband and raised his young son Ma Xianglin alone.

The duke is the highest honor that a foreign surname can receive, and only the generals who followed the emperor from birth to death in the past dynasties have this qualification. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang only had six dukes in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Zhu Di's road to martyrdom was only Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and Chen Heng, which shows the high threshold.

When Qin Liangyu heard this, how dare he believe it, his eyes raised without being angry and arrogant, and said solemnly:

"Don't joke about the thousands of households, my family is favored by the emperor, and I dare not have him anymore."

Seeing that everyone was questioning, Qi Xingguo couldn't say more for a while, after all, he had only heard the emperor say it once, and he had already leaked the secret, so he pointed to the villagers outside the door and said:

General Zhu managed the army well, had strict military discipline, did not take a stitch from the people along the way, and also organized the people to fight and divide the fields, which won the support of the people. Now they heard that the general had captured Yongning, and the mother sent the son, the wife and the husband asked to join the official army to help quell the rebellion. The saint often said that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and it seems that the winner has been decided. ”

Everyone had already seen the crowds of people outside the door, thinking that it was a refugee brought by Qi Xingguo and Wang Sanshan, but after he said it, he knew that he had taken the initiative to join the army, and he could no longer hide his proud expression. With the local people as guides, Zhu Kuiyuan immediately sent troops to Lin Zhou and surrounded Yu Chongming.

Above the city, Hao Chongming looked at the neat officers and soldiers in his heart and was already desperate, he was ready to make a last fight and then fled to Shuixi to find An Bangyan. So he pretended to be calm and pointed at Luo Ganxiang below and scolded him, saying that he was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, in order to break the morale of the officers and soldiers.

This is a typical bandit logic, who has done all his good and bad deeds, but instead blames others for resisting. For this kind of scum, the best way is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer from future problems.
