"Marquis Zhongyong, what does the court want to do with Tusi?"

Grandma Qin said very directly.

At this time, they had just finished Zhang Yan's banquet.

Grandma Qin is ready to return to Zunyi......

At this time, Zunyi actually belonged to Sichuan, including Shizhu Tusi, but when Yang Qing and Zhang Xianzhong divided the territory before, they were directly bounded by the Jinsha River and the Yangtze River, and the far Sichuan territory east of this line was divided into Guizhou, and finally formed the Guizhou governor in Guiyang, and the Zunyi camp in Zunyi.

Grandma Qin's duty is actually to guard Zhang Xianzhong north of this line.

But the army under her command is the old army, mainly Guizhou and Sichuan Dongwei soldiers, some of the subordinates of Ma Gan and Yang Zhan, and then the coalition army of the Tusi, including Shizhu Tusi, to put it bluntly, is a group of cobbled rabble, and then Yang Qing is ready to take the Guizhou Weisuo soldiers as the core and reorganize this army as the seventeenth infantry army of the Ming army. As for Wu Bikui's rebellion in Yunnan before, even before she and Ma Shiying arrived in Kunming with their troops, they had already been quelled by Mu Tianbo and those Tusi coalition forces, because Ma Shiying, who arrived later, insisted, and Sha Dingzhou failed to enter Kunming.

Then, according to Yang Qing's intentions, Ma Shiying also carried out the reform of the health center in Yunnan.

It didn't go well, though.

The generals of the old guard, including Mu Tianbo, would certainly not welcome this kind of reform.

In order to avoid further chaos, Yang Qing had already transferred the first mountain brigade that had just been formed, and urgently went to Kunming according to the first brigade of the 11th Army currently established by the Ming army.

This brigade abandoned the bulky tanks and became a light infantry with spears and arquebuses, which was more suitable for fighting in the southwestern mountains, but the formation was larger than that of the tank infantry brigade, and actually included four infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion. When fighting, it is not a Spanish phalanx, but it depends on the battlefield situation, but the most important tactic in Yang Qing's design should be the diamond array, or the horizontal formation when facing the enemy alone, more directly it is the set of Gu Erye.

The spearmen and musketeers were separated, a battalion consisted of four squads, one squad was a phalanx, but the musketeers were lined up individually.

When fighting, muskets are the main force.

When receiving the enemy, all the musketeers line up in front of the formation to fire a salvo, which is the so-called Gustav Thunder, if you shoot the opponent, take the spear as the core assault, and continue to shoot if the opponent does not collapse, if the opponent is assaulted in front of the formation, the musketeers retreat and the spearmen on both wings block the enemy, and the musketeers who complete the loading are flanked by the two wings.

Until you knock your opponent apart.

The cavalry protected the wings.

When the three battalions were in a horizontal formation, such a musket and a spear phalanx were arranged at intervals, leaving one battalion as a reserve, which was a large-scale battle.

At this time, a battalion and a diamond formation, with the enemy's muskets in front and the muskets on both wings on the inside, were actually three teams against the enemy, because the muskets of the two teams in the flanks were also firing forward, and the spearmen of these two teams could cover the front flanks. Once you encounter a flank attack by those mountaineers who are familiar with the terrain in the mountainous area, you can change the direction of attack at any time, and even if you encounter a siege, it will quickly turn into an omnidirectional operation.

This tactic maximizes the power of muskets.

However, this set of tactics also has relatively high requirements for the quality of soldiers, especially when changing formations, it is very challenging the quality of soldiers, and the four mountain armies that Yang Qing has planned so far have only trained one brigade. Although the equipment has not changed, it is all spears and birds, but the formation changes are really too difficult for the soldiers of this era, just a musketeer bypasses the spearman and retreats, the spearman moves forward, and the musketeer can't think of a mess with the two-wing bastion pinch-style pinch, so he has to train again and again.

This is not the old days when there were partial vans to protect them, or the musketeers hiding under the protection of the spear forest.

This is the musketeer facing the enemy and even the cavalry.

It's like lining up to be shot.

Moreover, they still do not have bayonets, and in this case, the retreat is not chaotic, it is really a test of the quality of the soldiers, and they have to take the whip and keep pumping.

But this one brigade is enough.

The mountainous environment of Yunnan determines that there can be no real super-large corps to fight, and basically there will be no heavy infantry and large-scale cavalry to encircle, as far as those cold-armed mountain people under Tusi are concerned, to be honest, a battalion of musketeers can be destroyed with a salvo. Such a brigade is enough to suppress Yunnan, after all, Mu Tianbo and others will definitely not dare to rebel openly, at most, they will provoke those Tusi to do things, so as to force the imperial court to stop the reform of the guard, but those Tusi cannot be stupid enough to really use them as guns.

When the army of the imperial court shows strong combat effectiveness, those toasts will not fight hard for these guys!

The reform of the health center is not to move them.

But for Grandma Qin, who is shrewd enough, she immediately smelled a special smell.

Yang Qing wanted to attack the southwest.

The southwest toast and the guard are staggered, to say that after Yang Qing solves the guard, he still doesn't attack those toasts, Grandma Qin is not so naïve, she is the same toast, but confronting Yang Qing is not in her choice. She is an old lady in her seventies who is not so ambitious, and the Shizhu Ma family can be regarded as a meritorious person in Daming, so it is not that there is no choice and no need to take risks, it is best to play the exchange of interests.

"How so?"

Yang Qing smiled and said: "Tusi is an abnormal existence, and it is inevitable to change the land and return to the stream, but as long as it is not those who rebel, it is impossible for me to use force to engage in coercion, so I think we can use some methods that satisfy both sides."

First, Yi Jue.

Tusi took the initiative to change the land and return to the stream, and the court gave him a hereditary title.

Actual knighthood.

Taking Shizhu Tusi as an example, after the Ran family stopped attacking, only the Ma family and the Chen family remained, and they could be exchanged for a marquis and an earl, the marquis's fief was 7,000 acres, the earl's fief was 5,000 acres, and the tax-free land was not a thin land in the mountains, but an official field on the plains, your maiden family was Zhongzhou, right? Zhongzhou is still a little short, how about choosing a fief for you in Hubei? As for the military positions of the descendants of the Ma family in the army, the one is still the same, and the property of the Ma family in Shizhu is the same.

This is for the dwelling of flat land.

Regardless of the Yihan Tusi, the original Tusi was knighted after the land was changed and returned, and the fief was in the plain.

Second, mountain migration.

The mountain people moved out of the mountains to the plains in a neat manner.

Of course, it's hard to say where to go, anyway, it's to open up the wasteland and farm, as for its toast knighthood, the court wants to restore the fifth-class knighthood, and it's completely okay to give them a man or something. Of course, the Han people basically did not live in the mountain villages, so they mainly referred to those Yi people, but after they came out of the mountains, they were no longer Yi people.

Third, change of citizenship.

For those Yiren Tusi who were really reluctant to go out of the mountains, they all changed their nationality to Han Chinese, and their children entered the official school to receive education, and after completing their studies, they also participated in the imperial examination and became officials of the imperial court. But they had to pay taxes according to the law, and their subjects and lands, even if their slaves and maidservants and private property, were not registered in the household register, but their land was taxed in the same way as the gentry.

It's not okay not to pay taxes.

You can return to the river without changing the land, but the tax must be paid.

I don't want to change the land, and I don't want to pay taxes, and this kind of good thing will not happen again in the future. ”

"What if they really think so?"

Grandma Qin asked.

"Then I'll have to destroy them."

Yang Qing replied very dryly.

Grandma Qin didn't say anything more.

This has no impact on the Ma family, at most it loses the ruling power of the stone pillar, but in exchange for the hereditary marquis and the plain land, the property of the stone pillar is still not moving, the Ma family actually still controls the stone pillar, and whoever becomes an official has to see the face of the Ma family.

It's not just the Ma family.

It's okay for those Han Chinese toasts.

The pattern of the southwestern mountainous area is that the Han people live on the flat land and the mountains are inhabited, but the vast majority of the Han people are also Tusiguan, although they are natives, and even regarded as barbarians, they are actually Han people.

For example, the Shizhu Ma family and the Chen family.

They were all generals who quelled the rebellion of the natives in the Song Dynasty, and later stayed in the mountains to guard, and during the Song and Yuan wars, they all took the native soldiers to fight for the Southern Song Dynasty, and Hu Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty and they stuck to the mountains.

The Mongols also did not want to waste their strength on coping.

So they were appointed as Tusi, together with the Sichuan people who fled to the mountains and forests, those Tusi, mixed together and finally formed the Tusi power, except for some really deep mountains and old forests in the southwest mountains, basically those Tusi were formed in this way. The Han people of the Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties, who fled to the mountains to escape the war, lived with the Turen under the leadership of generals, officials, and even clans, and became the emperor of the Tu in exchange for submitting to the new ruler. But to say that they are barbarians is nonsense. Not to mention the later Shizhu Ma family, the previous Banzhou Yang family, and even the Tang Dynasty's planing family and Zhao family, these are all like this, the Banzhou Yang family is still the descendants of the Yang family generals!

This type of toast would not object to such an exchange.

Yang Qing was treating them as his own, handing over the barren mountainous land in exchange for the fertile land on the plains, handing over the power of the Tu Emperor, in exchange for the glory and wealth of future generations, and he could return to the mountains at any time.

But for those Yiren in the cottage, it's hard to say whether they will accept it.

Even the second one is hard to say!

"I'm afraid that this move by the Marquis of Zhongyong will cause chaos!"

Grandma Qin said very directly.

"If there is chaos, it will be cut, and the last thing I am afraid of is chaos!"

Yang Qing said.

He's going to do it in the short term.

He was going to maintain a truce with Dolgon first, after all, Dolgon was helping him drain the young men of the northern steppes.

The latter has pulled allies to Khalkha Mongolia, and the envoys of the Qing Dynasty are going to Tushetu, Zasaktu, and Chechnya, which are vassals of our Qing Dynasty after the Nine White Alliance. In addition to these, Dolgon also sent envoys to Xitao and even Yarkand, even Gushi Khan and Dzungaria, in an attempt to attract these guys to attack Li Zicheng from the west and jointly divide the Ming Dynasty.

As for how much he can bring in the end, this Yang Qing is not easy to say.

But this is what Yang Qing is looking forward to.

These guys stay in their territory, it is very troublesome to conquer, not to say how powerful they are, and the distance and logistics are not available, in addition, these nomads are too scattered to have a real big war with them, once they play guerrilla raids, the logistics are cut off and may even suffer a crushing defeat.

But if you bring them to a head-on battle, it's different.

A big war can be solved.

A big battle can kill all their youth.

Then all that remains is to drive over and take over their territory.

In that case, give Dorgon some time!

Yang Qing knew very well that as long as the reform of the Ming Dynasty was completed, it would be invincible, and it would not be necessary to complete the reform, that is, to complete the reform of the guards, to complete the immigration militia, to complete all the seventeen armies, and to complete his tax department and economic boundaries, so that the Ming Dynasty would have no opponents in the East at all. Even if you don't use a flintlock pistol, you can play Qi Jiguang's car battalion and Gu Erye's light infantry, and more than 300,000 professional standing troops and millions of reserves will also beat all opponents.

He is not afraid of many opponents.

He was afraid that there weren't enough bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods brought in by Dolgon.

During this period, he happened to solve the Tusi of Yunguichuan, and completed the transformation of this land, so that his territory was completely stable, and this mountainous area has plagued Daming for many years. From Yang Yinglong to Extravagant Chongming back then, Daming's financial resources were almost exhausted on these guys, and he didn't want to keep these hidden dangers anymore.

Just take advantage of this time, it should be said that they are weak......

It was less than twenty years after the end of the Rebellion.

The Southwest Tusi suffered heavy losses in the Tusi rebellion that swept through Sichuan and Guizhou, and more than ten years was not enough time for them to recover, and he happened to use these guys to train his troops, especially his new infantry. In fact, Yang Qing didn't think that there would be much real resistance, if it wasn't helpless, who would like to live in the Yungui Mountains and Forests? This year is not supported by corn and potatoes, you must know that the modern Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains rely on these two, Guizhou is almost the largest potato planting area, it is difficult to imagine how the mountain people in Guizhou live in this era without potatoes, and give them the land of the plain in exchange, there will definitely be people tempted.

As long as they go down, it's easy to do.

What is the threat of the Yi people who have come out of the mountains and forests?

When they walked out of the mountains and forests, Yang Qing was able to move the militia with new crops such as corn seeds and sweet potatoes to pass.

Grandma Qin looked at him silently, as if she was dissecting his black heart.

"Master Hou!"

At this time, Yang Qing had just appointed the assistant to the chief, Shi Kefa's son, Shi Dewei walked up to Yang Qing with a smile and said, "I'll show you an interesting piece of information." ”

As he spoke, he handed the official document with the Jinyiwei logo in his hand to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing took it with some confusion, and then he also showed a disdainful smile.

"Marquis Zhongyong, what's the news?"

Grandma Qin asked curiously.

"It's nothing, the performance of a group of traitors who have forgotten their ancestors, send an order to the Secret Service Division, let Yang Xin select a team of people to go to the Northern Capital, and arrest this Sun Zhiqi back, if you want to arrest him alive, I will Ling Chi in Nanjing, and let the people see what kind of goods this sage book has taught!"

Yang Qing handed her the official document and said.

"It's shameless!"

Grandma Qin looked at the contents of the official document and said in amazement.
