The imperial court had already implemented the reform of the land in Zunyi Prefecture, but in Li Zicheng's eyes, this was far from enough, at most it only initially destroyed the Tusi system, but there were still many Tusi serving in the prefecture and county and continuing to control a large amount of cultivated land.

Tusi is also a human being, he doesn't necessarily have to be killed, he can also serve in the prefecture and county, the key is to abide by the laws of the Mandate of Heaven!

When the Mandate of Heaven Sinicized Xining and Lanzhou, no matter what means were used, the ultimate goal was to "become Han nationality and serve God".

Li Zicheng carefully looked at the map of Zunyi Mansion again, Zunyi Mansion, Zunyi County in the south, and Tongzi County in the north are all on the official road, and only Suiyang and Renhuai counties live on the east and west sides of Zunyi Mansion.

Zunyi Mansion and the core area of Zunyi Mansion are located in the south of Da Lou Mountain, between Sichuan Province, there is only one official road, if this official road cannot be expanded, strengthen the contact with the core area of Sichuan, and strengthen the contact with the outside world, the descendants of Tusi will sooner or later have a rebellion.

Li Zicheng saw from the marching map that this official road had been extending to the south, from Wujiang to Guizhou Province, he thought for a moment, Guizhou was not under the control of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, and the Mandate of Heaven Army had no intention of going south to Guizhou for the time being, so he built the official road to Zunyi County, and from Zunyi County to Wujiang Pass, there was no need to expand it for the time being.

After listening to Qin Gongming's narration, Li Zicheng's mind gave birth to countless thoughts, and many adjustments were made to the original plan.

Originally, it was only to widen the official road to facilitate the passage of the army, chariots and horses, but the Zunyi Mansion itself can pay a certain amount of taxes, since the Zunyi Mansion is to be incorporated into Sichuan, then it is more thorough, the official expansion into a flat cement avenue, if the geographical conditions allow, but also to Suiyang, Renhuai County, and even the population of the larger towns, how to be, to see the terrain after the discussion.

But the way to build the road is to make some changes, not just rely on 3,000 prisoners of war, but also involve the people in the vicinity......

Li Zicheng first summoned John Tang and asked him to send a small number of skilled workers, including the construction of cement roads and the production of cement, to Zunyi immediately.

The current Mandate of Heaven is under the Governor, there is a special bridge and road construction team, and a large number of technicians who produce cement nearby with the bridge and road construction team, and a small number of manpower will not affect Tang Ruowang's construction of Shu Road.

Li Zicheng handed over the prisoners of war to Qin Gongming, and asked Qin Gongming to supervise them to widen the official road, starting from Loushan Pass, first widening the section from Loushan Pass to Zunyi Mansion, widening the road, tamping the foundation, and waiting until the cement was produced, and then pouring the cement avenue.

Before leaving, Li Zicheng whispered a few words to Qin Gongming.

Qin Gongming was dumbfounded for a moment, "Dadu Governor, if the prisoners of war eat leftovers, they are very likely to get sick and unable to work...... he really doesn't understand, since the Dadu Governor let the prisoners of war eat enough, why does he have to cook the white rice, dry it, turn sour, and harden it before letting the prisoners of war eat it, can this save food?

"It's not like this forever," Li Zicheng felt guilty, but in order to spread God among the prisoners of war, he really had no good way, "Take the small flag as a unit, calculate it separately, which small flag of the prisoners of war, all recite the prayer, you can eat normal white rice," paused, and said: "They have almost memorized it, as long as a little effort, it won't take long, and they can complete the task!" ”

He sighed secretly, this kind of black cauldron of abusing prisoners of war can only be carried by Qin Gongming......

"The subordinates understand," Qin Gongming said, "If it is a small flag, there are some stupid ......"

"The rules must be like this, if the same Xiaoqi wants to eat hot white rice, he can only help his companions," Li Zicheng said lightly: "If all the prisoners of war are recited prayers, you can tell them that if any Xiaoqi can pray to God every day before eating, there will be meat to eat in the future!" ”

"Ah......" Qin Gongming was taken aback, will the prisoners of war still have meat to eat? Could they still be treated the same as the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven? After thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand, "Governor, is it to make the prisoners of war believe in God from the bottom of their hearts and be grateful to God?" ”

"That's pretty much what it means," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, and said, "The prisoners of war are from Huguang, and they couldn't appreciate God's kindness before, so they can only ...... like this."

Qin Gongming's heart moved, and said: "Grand Governor, the first regiment of the eighth battalion, there are still many soldiers who are not believers in God, do you want to ......?"

took the initiative to send it to the door, how could Li Zicheng not accept it? He nodded and said, "In the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, except for the newly conquered Sichuan, almost all the people and soldiers are believers in God, and the first regiment of the eighth battalion is a matter of ...... Gong Ming considered the disposal, focusing on guidance, not using force, "Thinking that the first regiment of the eighth battalion will be stationed in Zunyi Mansion, if the soldiers are all converted, they can positively influence the local people in the future, so he said: "When I come back from Zunyi, I will speed up the speed of road construction, and all those who 'become Han nationality and serve God' can be absorbed to build roads after our screening, and the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will pay them......"

"The subordinates understand," Qin Gongming said, "The soldiers have all entered the Han nationality, and the subordinates will let them 'serve God' as soon as possible......"

Li Zicheng nodded, and patted Qin Gongming's shoulder again, "Gongming, I'll leave the matter of Loushanguan to you!" ”

"Don't worry, the subordinates will never dare to slack off and miss the major event of road construction!" Qin Gongming held his head high and gave a military salute to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng left Loushan Pass, took his own soldiers, and went all the way south, going straight to Zunyi Mansion.

His personal soldiers have expanded to a thousand households, but the personal soldiers have war horses, marching on the official road, much faster than the infantry and ordinary people, a hundred miles away, but in one day, they arrived at Zunyi Mansion.

Ma Xianglin was not in Zunyi, he took the soldiers to Renhuai County.

After Li Zicheng entered the city, he was not in a hurry to find Ma Xianglin, but walked around the city and found that the city was not big, with a circumference of only seven or eight miles, except for the original prefect's yamen and the barracks of the military and civilian offices, there were only scattered private houses and a small market, which was inferior to the small county town in Sichuan.

It is estimated that the population is small and the functions of the urban area are incomplete, and Li Zicheng didn't care, but when he heard the white pole soldiers who stayed behind, the prefect Kong Lanchuan was captured, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Ma Xianglin took Zunyi Mansion, the Mandate of Heaven Army must accept it directly, or the administrative plan of a government and several counties, and the candidate for the magistrate, Li Zicheng has already made a decision in his heart, but the prefect, as the highest civil official of Zunyi Mansion, has no whereabouts.

Li Zicheng can ask Guo Shijun for it, Guo Shijun has been in charge of Sichuan for more than a year, and he must have reserved a lot of civilian officials, but the Mandate of Heaven Army suddenly carried out large-scale sinicization of southern Sichuan and western Sichuan this time, and a large number of civilian officials are needed.

He thought for a moment, and then summoned Kong Lanchuan at the mansion.

Two white pole soldiers, one left and one right, pushed Kong Lanchuan over, and met Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng saw that Kong Lanchuan's hands were tied, so he asked the white pole soldiers to untie Kong Lanchuan and let them out.

Kong Lanchuan watched his original position being occupied, and dared not speak angrily, just rubbing his sour arms, while scanning the people sitting in the lobby with his residual vision.

Li Zicheng also looked at Kong Lanchuan, seeing that his eyebrows were straight, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, he left a good impression in his heart, and saw that he was only in his early thirties and less than forty, so he had a good impression, so he said lightly: "You are Kong Lanchuan of the original Zunyi government?" ”

"It's this official!" Kong Lanchuan looked directly at Li Zicheng, "Who are you from the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Bold!" He Xiaomi shouted: "Dare to be rude to the Metropolitan Governor, do you not want to live?" ”

"The Grand Duke?" Kong Lanchuan frowned tightly and looked at Li Zicheng carefully, but from Li Zicheng's face, he only saw that it was bland, neither the fear he hoped for, nor the violent aura that he feared the most, for a long time, but he shook his head, "The Metropolitan Governor is so young, but why did he embark on the road of no return?" ”

He Xiaomi was furious, pulled out his waist knife, and shook it in front of Kong Lanchuan's eyes, "I have become a prisoner of war, and I dare to talk nonsense?" I really don't know how to write dead words......"

"Xiaomi!" Li Zicheng drank lightly, and motioned for him to push away with his eyes, but said to Kong Lanchuan: "Master Kong, tell me, why is it a point of no return?" ”

Kong Lanchuan patted his sleeves, folded his hands behind his back, and said: "The imperial court has an army of one million, and most of the governors don't want to serve the country, but they are against the imperial court...... Once the army of the imperial court arrives, isn't it a point of no return? ”

"Once the army of the imperial court arrives, it is indeed a point of no return, the point of no return for the army of the imperial court!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I will think that Lord Kong has seen the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army!" ”

"You ......" Kong Lanchuan felt a burst of contempt in his heart, this young metropolitan governor, really didn't know the height of the sky, and regarded the army of the imperial court as nothing, he swallowed and spit, and said slowly: "The metropolitan governor can know that Zunyi Mansion was originally the Banzhou Xuanwei Division, because the Tusi Yang Hualong led the five divisions outside the river to make a rebellion, the imperial court Tianwei was furious, and as soon as the army arrived, the rebels were all cut in half, and the Banzhou Xuanwei Division was changed to the land, and there was today's Zunyi Mansion......"

"I can understand that Master Kong is admonishing me not to be carried away by victory, right?" Li Zicheng chuckled, "I wonder if Lord Kong has heard that the imperial court attacked the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army with the four-way army of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and Xiong Wencan, and as a result, the four-way army was defeated and fled?" ”

"Ah...... How could there be such a thing? This happened not long ago, Kong Lanchuan really didn't know, he carefully looked at Li Zicheng who was seated, he was still so light and light, neither young and frivolous, nor any awe of the imperial army, from that slightly young face, almost nothing could be seen, he muttered: "Dadu Governor, isn't the Mandate of Heaven army ......"

"What Master Kong wants to say, but Liukou?" Li Zicheng was not angry, but said lightly: "The Heavenly Mandate Army has occupied Sichuan for more than a year, you should have heard of this, even if it occupied Zunyi Mansion, how could it have robbed the people and wealthy businessmen of their property?" Maybe you don't know that since you have come to Zunyi Mansion, the Heavenly Mandate Army does not plan to leave! ”

Not planning to leave? Kong Lanchuan's heart moved, could it be that the Mandate of Heaven Army wanted to divide Sichuan? He looked at Li Zicheng again, but still didn't find what he was looking for, so he said, "What does the Metropolitan Governor want?" ”

"The goal of the Heavenly Mandate Army is really a long-term goal, not to mention," Li Zicheng said: "My current goal is to ask Master Kong to re-serve as the prefect of Zunyi, how about it?" ”
