Zhu Hualong is the deputy general of Songpan, who opened Songpan City, and is in charge of Songpanwei, Maozhou Wei, Xiaohe and Diexi. The vast majority of the military forces in northwest Sichuan were under the command of Zhu Hualong.

Songpan Wei was originally formed by the merger of Songzhou Wei and Panzhou Wei, and was originally a military and civilian guard. is not only in charge of sergeants, but also in charge of civil affairs, and there are many toasts with army numbers under his rule. In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing, Songpanwei was changed from a military and civilian guard to a military guard. But the shell has changed, but the inside has not changed.

As the only existence of the Ming Dynasty in the Songpan region, Songpanwei will inevitably play a major role in civil affairs. The vast majority of the Han people there are in the military registration book; The Tusi, who led hundreds of thousands of feudal people, were also in the establishment of the guard, so the guard didn't want to take care of the civil affairs.

The situation of Maozhouwei and Diexi and Xiaohe is similar to that of Songpanwei. However, Maozhou has both a local government and a Chengdu government, and the number of local Han people and the degree of sinicization of barbarians far exceed that of Songpanwei, and the problem of miscellaneous problems between military and civilian Tusi is far less prominent than that of Songpanwei.

Zhu Hualong was neither soft nor hard to generalize the governor's army, and Liao Daheng was suddenly a little stunned.

It is obvious that Zhu Hualong's problem is not simply how to reorganize the army, but a big issue of how to govern Songpan and even the entire ethnic region in northwest Sichuan.

As the governor of Sichuan, Liao Daheng's method, that is, the method of the imperial court, was called "fetters", that is, the imperial court through military presence and the transfer of part of the governing power, so that the minority regimes recognized the central government, did not rebel, did not plunder the borders, and ensured the peace and quiet of the border areas. But the young man's method of dealing with Tianquan under the flower tree has made Liao Daheng keenly feel that this set of "fetters" is difficult to get into his eyes.

Besides, Zhu Hualong stretched out his hand to ask for silver and food, but there was neither silver nor food in the treasury, so he had no right to speak at all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and cast an inquiring glance at Zhu Pingjian.

……

Liao Daheng, the old fox Muggle, made Zhu Pingjin slightly happy.

An individual's political maturity and shrewdness are no substitute for the experiences and lessons that have been summed up in long-term political practice.

The law of restraint does not guarantee the long-term peace and stability of the border minority areas. The Battle of Banzhou, the Rebellion of Hao'an, and even the later Houjin Rebellion were all failures of this set of border control policies in practice. When the Central Dynasty was at its peak, the border minorities were able to maintain their deference to the Central Dynasty, but when the Central Dynasty declined or was in civil strife, these ethnic minorities immediately became coveted participants.

For these ethnic minorities, Zhu Pingjin is not without ready-made ruthless ways to clean them up. For example, if there is another "million serfs are emancipated", Zhu Pingjin has 12 points of confidence to ensure that his portrait can be enshrined in the shrine of the liberated like a god for eternity.

However, the cruel and urgent reality requires Zhu Pingjin to pay attention to the main contradiction at present, that is, the rapid unification of Sichuan's military orders and government orders, and provide a stable source of troops and food for the upcoming national war!

Thinking of this, Zhu Pingjin retracted his mind and looked at Zhu Hualong, a tall man from Xiangxi.

The long-term life on the plateau not only dyed his appearance with the color and charm of the plateau, but also dyed his behavior and language with the arrogance and recklessness of the plateau.

What is his true purpose, is it really a matter of bread and bread, as he says?

Zhu Pingjian's gaze looked directly at Zhu Hualong, as if he wanted to penetrate his heart and lungs and find out the black line hidden in the depths of his heart!

Zhu Pingjin smiled lightly, and the usual kind smile returned to his cheeks. However, before Zhu Pingjin could speak, he was interrupted by a hearty voice behind him:

"Shizi, the students think: it is appropriate to re-establish Songpan County by separating soldiers and civilians! Whether Xiaohe and Qingchuan (Note 1) have counties or not, I don't know if there are cities there. If there is a city, it should also be a county! ”

The person who was not qualified to speak at all and spoke without the permission of the presiding officer of the meeting was Li Changxiang, an observer of the meeting and a member of Dazhou.

At such an important meeting, Li Changxiang made another mistake in talking eloquently. He gushed about his logical ideas to the participants, mixed with his mental journey in the past few days.

Li Changxiang said that the local riots in Bashan are rampant, and an important lesson is that the county settings in the area are too sparse, and local management cannot be in place.

A county, hundreds of miles in the county, the territory of the mountains and mountains, inconvenient transportation. Many people have never seen an official in their lives, where can the people feel the majesty of the court and the sacredness of the royal law? Therefore, it is easy to be coerced by local thugs and embark on the road of no return to rebellion.

A few days ago, he took the opportunity of meeting the prince to ask for the establishment of a new county in the Mingtong Inspection Department of Taiping County, taking Taiping County as an example.

Who thought that the prince was really wise, and immediately drew inferences from one another, not only agreed to set up Chengkou County in the Mingtong Inspection Division of Taiping County, but also decided to set up Zhenping County in the Zhenping Inspection Division of Pingli County; Pingchang County was established in Jiangkou Town, Bazhou; Enyang County, Enyang Town, Bazhou; Wangcang County is set up in Baizhang Pass; Yuanba County was set up in Yuanba, Guangyuan County; Chaotian County was set up in Chaotian Pass, Guangyuan County; Zigong County is set up in the artesian well and Gongjing areas; Xuyong County is set up in Xuyong Military Grain Department; Gulin County is set up in the Gulin Field of the Xuyong Military Grain Department.

As a result, not only did the new county he proposed become ten new counties, but one new county was also set up in Shaanxi Province!

Shizi's move not only moved him very much, but also made him very disappointed. Because he has always been proud of his talents, he also thought for a long time before he came up with this policy of governing the country. However, the prince of the world can make an overall decision in just a moment, and it is clear that there is still a big gap in his heart.

Later, he repeatedly speculated about the meaning of the son of the world and came to the following conclusions:

The seven counties of Chengkou, Zhenping, Pingchang, Enyang, Wangcang, Yuanba, and Chaotian are lined up along Bashan, which must be local tyrants against Bashan;

Zigong County, that is in response to the recent salt industry reform in Sichuan. It can be inferred from this that the salt industry will definitely become a major input in Sichuan's financial plan;

As for the three counties of Renhuai County, Xuyong County, and Gulin County, they occupy the key points of the Chishui River and Naxi Water, and are adjacent to the west wing of Banzhou (the former name of Zunyi Prefecture), which must be the remnants of luxury in Banzhou and even Guizhou.

He heard that the prince wanted to reorganize the army and consolidate the land of Dragon and Song, and Liao Fu wanted to reorganize the army of Dragon and Song into a national protection army, and General Zhu asked Liao Fu to issue a charter for implementation.

So he suddenly thought that the situation of the land of dragon and pine is actually very close to that of Bashan, the same lofty mountains and mountains, the same land is vast and sparsely populated, the only difference is that Bashan is a rebel local tyrant, and the land of dragon and pine is a toast that has not yet rebelled!

Since Bashan can be divided into soldiers and civilians, and the law of setting up county officials to pacify the local tyrants, why can't the land of dragons and pines use the same method to restrain the toast?

The pro-people officials represented the herdsmen in heaven, collected taxes, monitored the Tusi, cultivated the land, and raised food and wages for the garrison; The battalion guards defend the land and protect the people, organize and strengthen the army, deter the Tusi, and support each other with the local government. In this way, the borders will be solidified, and the people will be rich!

……

The pine and mao areas of the Ming Dynasty are the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture where Zhu Pingjin and his wife enjoyed the red leaves and the grassland together in Jiuzhaigou in the previous life.

Aba is a plateau with a large vertical elevation difference, with both silver-white snow-capped mountains and vast expanses of boundless grasslands. When the Red Army crossed the grassland, it passed through the grassland swamp area between the Aba Red Plains and Ruoergai. The Qiang ethnic group is the dominant ethnic group in the northern part (Note 2), and the Tibetan ethnic group is dominant in the western part.

To develop the planting industry, there must be four necessary conditions, namely, water, soil, light, and heat. Aba's water, soil, and light resources are all good, but it lacks "heat".

Due to the long winter and short summer, and the average annual temperature is extremely low, the main crops such as rice and wheat that are common in the Han region are rarely produced in Aba, and only the barley with a very low yield can be satisfied. The boundless grassland has become a land without food for thousands of miles. Han people who did not know the depth of the inadequacy broke in rashly, and often starved to death in the beautiful scenery.

But Heaven is always fair. Aba's planting industry is a short board, but animal husbandry is a strong point. In Zhu Pingjian's previous life, the total area was equal to the entire Korean Peninsula, and the annual stock of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits, and other livestock could reach millions, hundreds of thousands of slaughters and tens of thousands of tons of meat were produced. In addition, natural products such as forests, minerals, traditional Chinese medicine, and fungi are also extremely abundant. However, these precious products, because of the strict and rigid border trade system of the Ming Dynasty, could not sell well in the hinterland, so that Aba was in extreme poverty for a long time.

Li Changxiang's proposal to set up prefectures and counties in Aba was completely in line with Zhu Pingjin's strategic goal of ruling Sichuan. It can not only strengthen the rule of the Shu domain over the Songpan region, but also make full use of the resources of the Songpan region, especially the horses that are urgently needed for the war. If necessary, he can also threaten Qin, Long, and Qinghai by using the road, and copy the back road of Li Zicheng's lair. So, it's a great idea to count in one fell swoop.

However, this proposal was not rushed. Without the strong support of these civil and military forces in front of them, everything would be in vain. The tragic scene of the Battle of Jinchuan in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty must not be staged in advance in the year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Pingjin's eyes looked at Zhan Tianyan and Zhu Hualong, hoping that the two of them would be able to express their stance on Li Changxiang's suggestion.

Under Zhu Pingjin's gaze, Zhu Hualong slowly stood up, his eyes were firm and calm, and there was a faint sense of resoluteness.

He didn't look at Zhu Pingjin, but still bowed his hand to his boss, Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan: "Presumably, what this Mr. Li said must be instructed by Liao Fu." Separate soldiers and civilians? Songpan County? That's great! As he spoke, a hint of mockery appeared on his red and black face, "Then please ask Shangguan to send the magistrate of Xia County to Songpan, a place outside the world, to try!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hualong said his word, in an instant, the atmosphere under the flower tree was cold to freezing point.

Liao Daheng froze on the spot, and his face turned red.

Zhan Tianyan still maintained the demeanor of a civil official, sitting upright and not squinting.

And Long Fuhuang, the deputy general of Baishuiguan, and Deng Ruoyu, the general of Long'an, who had been whispering since Li Changxiang finished speaking, suddenly stopped talking and looked up at Zhu Hualong and Liao Daheng in amazement.

"Could it be that General Zhu wants to learn from the king against the rising sun and come to a Songpan mutiny?" Liao Tycoon's anger finally erupted.

Zhu Hualong's answer stunned everyone even more.

"Not bad! In the last tense, the brothers in the camp are plotting a wreck! If you go back empty-handed at the end of this time, the soldiers in the battalion will rebel! ”

Whoa! The guard behind Zhu Pingjin pulled out the shiny sword. One of them is Tashi Gwa, the squad leader of the former Zagu Battalion!

"The wrath of the emperor, a thousand miles of blood! Millions of corpses! ”

A familiar phrase popped out of Zhu Pingjian's brain.

Note 1: Qingchuan of the Ming Dynasty guarded the city of thousands of households, that is, the ancient city of Qingxi in Qingchuan County, and the old county seat of Qingchuan County in the Qing Dynasty.

Note 2: Because the brick family mistook the Qiang people for Tibetans, they made a joke about the "White Horse Tibetans". Of course, this joke has its historical background and can't be messed around.
