Chapter 46: Liu Xian and Tingtui
Du Zhangman hoarded grain in Lingxiao City, occupied the mountains and became kings, as a base for harassment and plunder.
In addition, Xuzhou is located in the throat of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and its strategic location is extremely dangerous.
During the Chengzu period, Du Zhangman "attacked Gao, Jue, Yunlian, Qingfu counties", and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the land annexation of Sichuan flourished, and some farmers who lost their arable land became homeless.
At that time, there were three main categories of Han refugees who joined the Duzhangban team: one was the escaped military criminals and some refugees who fled into the village in the early years, the second was the big thieves in Shuzhong, and the third was the Han people who committed serious crimes.
The entry of these Han people made the Duzhangman more and more rampant, and the march and battle became more cunning, so "changing the land and returning to the stream" became the top priority of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the local situation.
There was a large-scale encirclement and suppression during the Chenghua period, at that time, all the barbarians went to Guizhou to deceive, and Guizhou commanded Ding Shi not to know the fraud, and went out of the city to greet him, and the result was that "the ambush soldiers rose everywhere, and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers were gone."
In November, Du Zhangman designed to lure Wang Hao to Changning at night, but as a result, "the officers and soldiers walked in the maze at night, and the dead fell into the valley and were invincible."
Soon, Duzhangman marched along the south bank of the river, and once again captured Jiang'an, Naxi, Hejiang and other counties.
The imperial court sent 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress Duzhangman, but the result was in vain, which made the imperial court lose face.
Zhu Yijun looked at Du Zhangman's information, and at this time he was able to connect with his own memory, this Du Zhangman made trouble from the time of Chengzu until he ascended the throne. However, Zhu Yijun knew that in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the land of Yungui could not be completely pacified.
Duzhangman made a fuss again when he ascended the throne, and the chief of Xuzhou Duzhangman wore python clothes every time, rode in four carriages, imitated the Ming Dynasty officials, beat gongs and drums along the way, and galloped along the road.
The chieftain Ah Gou and his righteous son Ah Mo Er entrenched in Lingxiao City, "carrying a sedan chair without permission, a yellow umbrella and python clothes, and claiming to be the king".
This has a tendency to build a country and become the king, this can't be endured, at that time, Zhang Juzheng had just sat on the first assistant, and he had to pacify the barbarians. Zhang Juzheng also wants to take the capital to stand up, and wants to solve the scourge of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Zhang Juzheng selected Liu Xian to be the general who was in charge of the barbarians, and the 140,000-strong army was in charge of the barbarians.
Liu Xian did not disappoint, under the command of Liu Xian, the Ming army marched all the way, and Lingxiao City and Duduzhai soon changed hands.
Du Zhang's two dangers were lost, so he had to retreat to Nine Silk City. The Ming army immediately rushed to the Nine Silk City in five ways, attacking day and night, all of them refused to die, "taking the city to turn the stone to send the standard, and the next attack was lifelike and endless", the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but there was nothing to be done for a while.
September 9 is the barbarian's "Saishen Festival", on this day, the sky rains heavily, the mountain road is slippery, all the palms are in the hands of the barbarian fighting party rest, thinking that the Ming army will never attack, so on the Jiusi Mountain to kill the cow to celebrate, drink to the fullest.
Unexpectedly, the Ming army climbed the rock at night, killed into the Nine Silk City, set fire everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, all palms woke up from their sleep, saw the Ming army falling from the sky, all of them were captured, in the chaos, they were burned to death by fire, and there were no less than 10,000 people who fell off the cliff, and the chieftain Ah Da, Ah Er, and Fang San were all captured and killed by the Ming army.
The Ming army captured 93 bronze drums, captured 4,615 people, and the war drums were transported to the Jingshi treasury as a trophy.
Zhu Yijun remembered that he had seen those drums, and Zhang Juzheng was still boasting about himself at that time.
It turned out that it was this Liu Xian who calmed down and was in charge, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, feeling that it was appropriate for this person to train the Beijing camp.
First, he has been in the southeast, and he has no collusion in the capital, and his identity is innocent, and his training can be much less disturbing. Second, this Liu Xian has indeed made outstanding achievements and is very strong.
Whether it is anti-Japanese or doomed, this can prove his strength.
Thirdly, Zhu Yijun also wants to let this old general enjoy the happiness and come to the capital to retire, after all, looking at the resume, Liu Xian is also a person born in Zhengde for ten years, the same age as Wang Chonggu, three out of sixty, such an old military general has worked hard in Yungui, Zhu Yijun is a little unbearable.
Especially at the end of the resume, there is also a resignation excerpt, Liu Xian also wants to go home for the elderly, and it is because of physical problems.
Liu Xian is a military general, he has been fighting all these years, and his physical injuries are definitely worse than Wang Chonggu's. Zhu Yijun felt that such a person should make the best use of his resources, and it was the best choice to get the capital to train his troops.
If you are fighting a war or something, let young people come, and there is no shortage of famous generals in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
In the future, if you want to get a military aircraft department staff office or something, you will need these old generals.
After selecting the military generals of the three battalions for training, there is another candidate and key, that is, the civilian officers of the three battalions of the governor. Originally, the army of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were all military generals and nobles.
Now the governors are all civilian officials, and the generals can only be the general soldiers, and the difference in status is not a little bit.
From the perspective of fighting for power and profit, military generals are not the opponents of civilian officials at all, and if there is no civil and military division system, it will be a problem sooner or later. However, Zhu Yijun does not have the strength to challenge this kind of officialdom rules for the time being, so he still has to choose a civilian official.
According to the convention, this position should be the title of the deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, and it is best to be a squire of the military department.
To choose a military secretary, a civil official of the governor's three battalions, and to promote Liu Xian, Zhu Yijun beat the fold, it seems that he should hold a court push. said that he has been the emperor for so long, and he has not presided over the court push.
Thinking of this, this idea took root in Zhu Yijun's mind.
Glancing at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said: "Passing the decree to the cabinet, the excerpt of Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been approved, Wang Aiqing has worked hard, and he has made great achievements in the Ministry of War, and at the same time has a son who is a member of the Jinyi Guard. ”
To put it bluntly, it is to retain the title and treatment of Wang Chonggu's secretary of the military department, just like enjoying the treatment of bureau-level ministers after retirement in later generations.
"Let the cabinet and the six ministries propose a list, recommend the secretary of the military department, and then carry out the court push." Zhu Yijun then added.
Wang Chonggu's Zhishi quickly made waves, and the news was so sudden that those who impeached Wang Chonggu did not expect it. Then the additional effect of this news became apparent, and the imperial court vacated a military secretary.
