Chapter 8 I didn't cross in vain

Overthrowing the thousand-year-old precedent is really too much of a challenge, and the sea of corpses and blood of the Tusi rebellion in the southwest of the former Ming Dynasty is enough to discourage any later rulers. But Sejong is really an iron man, and when he makes up his mind, he will be consistent and never waver. There is another Ortai, who is also a lonely minister's temper, insisting that Qingshan will not relax, and the monarch and the minister get along, roll up his sleeves, and work hard.

In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Sejong purged dissidents on a large scale, and political opponents such as Yinyu, Yinyu, and Yinyu were either secretly killed or imprisoned. Once his rule was secured, Sejong immediately set about "changing the land and returning it to the stream."

"Changing the land and returning to the stream" met with the expected fierce resistance. Ortai, then the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, suppressed it with an iron fist. In that year, the Tusi rebellion in Changzhai in Guizhou Province was quelled; The following year, Pingyunnan Wumeng Tusi and Zhenxiong Tusi rebelled. These two quelling rebellions were extremely miserable, especially the Tusi rebellion in Pingchangzhai, to the point of "leaving no old and young behind".

The toasts were finally intimidated.

In the sixth year of Yongzheng, King Sejong appointed Ortai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, as the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, and accelerated the implementation of "changing the land and returning to the stream" in the above-mentioned areas.

The "land reform and return to the stream" in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou areas began in the fourth year of Yongzheng and lasted five years from the ninth year of Yongzheng, which was basically completed. For the first time in the history of 2,000 years, China's central government exercised complete administrative power over the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou.

It should be pointed out that in addition to the strong national strength of China at that time, the consolidation of the authority of the central government, and the unswerving determination of Sejong himself, the migration of the Han army and Han people to the southwest region since the Ming Dynasty was also one of the important reasons. When it came to the Yongzheng Dynasty. The proportion of the local Tu and Han populations has changed to a considerable extent compared with the previous Ming Dynasty.

Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan are close to Guizhou and Guangxi. There are also a lot of toasts, which have also been stewed with a spoonful in this round of "changing the land and returning to the stream". This class of toast has recently been in the mainland, and it has been sinicized to a considerable extent, and its independence is far less than that of toast in remote areas.

But. The "reform of the land and return to the stream" in the southwest region still left a big tail, and this is a large piece of land in Sichuan close to Tibet. That is where Zhan Pair and Litang are located.

The natives of this region, mainly Tibetans, are closely related to Tibet, and they have "changed their land and returned to the stream" here. It's the cheese that moves Tibet.

The last years of Kangxi. The Dzungars attacked and killed Razang Khan, the grandson of Gushi Khan, and destroyed the Heshute tribe to control Tibet. The imperial court seized this opportunity, used troops in Tibet, sent the general Wang Yinyu into Tibet, and expelled the Dzungaria. Since then, the hand of the imperial court has truly reached into Tibet.

Yongzheng five years. That is, in the second year of the "reform of the land and return to the stream" in the southwest region, the minister in Tibet was established. Historically. For the first time, China's central government formally exercised administrative power over Tibet. However, this administrative power is very incomplete, and it is only in the stage of "supervising Tibetan politics." As long as there is no major chaos in Tibet's internal affairs, the imperial court will not interfere. In fact, with the power of that time, it could not interfere.

That is to say, at that time, the imperial court's rule over Tibet was still very unstable, so it was absolutely impossible to move the Tibetan Tusi at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet under that circumstance.

Now that the times are changing, and the heaven-sent opportunity of the Zhan Zheng Rebellion has fallen out of thin air, Guan Zhuofan seized it, and wanted to take the opportunity to cut off this big tail and fill this big gap.

In fact, Guan Zhuofan's ambition is to "change the land and return to the stream" of the whole Tibet, but the time is not yet ripe to move Tibet, and you can't become a fat man by eating it in one bite.

Zhan Zheng's toast is gone, and it is logical to "change the land and return to the stream". What about Litang? The imperial court issued an edict to denounce the Litang Tusi, "sit back and watch the erosion of the river, unmoved", the officer's behavior, not to mention the "corpse meal vegetarian position"? It's simply "unpopular"! He stripped all his titles and became commoners.

Litang Toast is actually a little wronged. Zhan's troops were rampant in the territory, blocking the communication between Tibet and the hinterland, except for the Kashag in Lhasa and the Sichuan governor in Chengdu, he really did not open the gate of the walled city, and went out desperately—however, it was clear that the disparity in strength was huge, and he couldn't defeat it! What are you going out for? Do you grind it for others to make tsamba to eat?

But after thinking about it, I didn't dare not obey the edict after all. The first is that Gong Brownjie's father and son Yin Jian are in front, and the second is that the Xuan army is stationed in Leshan, not far away, pinching himself to death is like pinching an ant to death, so he has to be aggrieved and aggrieved to "give the edict" and "thanks".

However, the court was polite to him, allowing him to continue to live in Litang and keep a certain amount of land, gold beads, and slaves.

Zhan set up a county, the county governance is located in Rulong Town, this terrain is like a dragon's head, Tibetan calls "the main mother dragon", therefore, the county is named "Xinlong County", take the meaning of "the dragon gets a new life".

Litang is a county, and the name remains the same, that is, "Litang County".

Zhan right, Litang started, and then it will be easy to do.

"Supervising the Minister of Military Affairs of Sichuan and Tibet" Iksang, and Wu Tang, the governor of Sichuan, jointly sent a letter to greet the Tusi of the Tibetan region of Sichuan one by one, which roughly means that according to the emperor's will and the edict of the king of Xuanjun, I now give you three ways to choose, don't make mistakes:

The first way, before the deadline, take the initiative to "surrender", that is, take the initiative to hand over the land and power, then the imperial court will not only allow you to stay in the local area, keep a considerable amount of land, property, and slaves, but also issue a decree to commend you, award you the title of "En Cavalry Captain", and allow your descendants to inherit it from generation to generation - that is, "hereditary replacement". It's just that "En Cavalry Captain" is the lowest level in the world, and the word "hereditary replacement" is not used in the notebook.

When the deadline came, he still refused to take the initiative to speak, so he had to issue an order to dismiss him.

The second way, after the will of dismissal comes down, if the edict is issued, then the imperial court will still follow the example of Litang Tusi, and allow you to stay in the local area and keep a certain amount of land, gold beads, and slaves, but this amount is not as much as the "active dedication".

The third way, if you don't obey the edict, hum, then it is to disobey the holy decree and to be complicit in rebellion, and Benchin sent a large army to your house and spoke to you face to face.

The examples of the opponents and the Litang Tusi are in front, Xuan Jun is eyeing the sidelines, and there is the background of the 12th Dalai Lama's pilgrimage, most of the Tusi in the Tibetan area of Sichuan chose to take the initiative to surrender, and the rest were either lucky, or could not understand the situation, delayed the deadline, and waited for the holy decree of dismissal.

The vast majority of them, like the Litang Tusi, had gone through a fierce ideological struggle, and after all, they did not have the courage to rebel, and when the officials arrived, they obediently handed over the power one by one.

Only Seda, three hundred miles north of Xinlong County, is at the border of the soldiers, and the officials sent by the imperial court are not allowed to enter.

Ixan received the report and immediately led the Xuan army to advance towards Seda.

Kawazo shook.

When the vanguard group of the Xuan army entered the archery furnace, they received a box from Seda, and when they opened it, it was a human head-the human head of Seda Toast.

One of the leaders of Seda Tusi killed his master and surrendered to the court.

The officials of the imperial court successfully entered Seda, and the lord of the "Enqi Lieutenant" gave this head.

After the Xuan army entered Sichuan, from beginning to end, not a single shot was fired, and not a single shot was fired.

In the Tibetan area of Sichuan, a number of newly established counties have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Xinlong County is in the north and Litang County is in the south, so we will take Xinlong County and Litang County as coordinates to take a look at the results of this "land reform and return to the stream":

In the west of Xinlong County, Baiyu County is located; Northwest, Shederg County; north, set up Ganzi County; In the east, Luhuo County and Daofu County are set up.

In the north of Derge County, Shiqu County is located.

Ganzi County is in the north, Sheseta County. In the northwest, Yangtang County is located.

west of Litang County, Batang County; south, set up Derong County, Xiangcheng County, Daocheng County; East, set up Yajiang County.

The arrow furnace in the east of Yajiang County is located in Kangding County.

These newly established counties, in the original time and space, some were established in the last years of Guangxu and the early years of Xuantong, when Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, implemented the "reform of the land and return to the stream"; Yes, it was not officially established until the fifties of the twentieth century at the latest.

In this time and space, in the hands of Guan Zhuofan, the "reform of the land and return to the stream" in the Tibetan area of Sichuan has advanced by a full 40 to 90 years.

Guan Zhuofan thought, based on this alone, I don't have to cross in vain.
