Re-appointed as the prefect of Zunyi, the implicit meaning in it, Kong Lanchuan immediately understood, this metropolitan governor, obviously wanted to pull himself into the water!

Countless thoughts flashed through Kong Lanchuan's heart, but he still decided to refuse.

If he refuses to be the governor, he may die, and if he chooses to take office again, he can survive for a while, but in the end, he ...... In the end, not only will you die, but you will also be ruined and disgraced to your family and ancestors!

The lesser of two evils, death is death, at least martyrdom for the imperial court, and there will also be a mark left in the history books: Zunyi City was broken, Kong Lanchuan refused to be a thief, and was killed by thieves......

He shook his head, a wry smile on his face, "Grand Duke, forgive your fate!" ”

"Master Kong decided so quickly?" Li Zicheng had a smile on his face, but he was surprised in his heart, aren't these civil officials afraid of death? "Do you want to think about it?"

"No need," Kong Lanchuan's head shook like a rattle, "I will never be a thief in the next place!" ”

This is naked abuse, after Kong Lanchuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

He Xiaomi wanted to draw the knife, so Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop, Li Zicheng's face rarely gave birth to a trace of happiness, such an official, it is difficult to subdue, once it is really recovered, you can use it with confidence!

He stared at Kong Lanchuan's face, trying to find the softest part of his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything, maybe he was really ready to die for his country, was there nothing for him to remember?

Li Zicheng said tentatively: "Master Kong, you rejected my kindness, do you know what the consequences are?" ”

Kong Lanchuan opened his eyes and said, "I know, it's a big deal to say 'death', come on, I'm ready, and I will leave a ...... in the future history books."

History? Li Zicheng's heart moved, and after thinking for a moment, there was still not much chance, so he smiled lightly: "In addition to death, Master Kong didn't think that I could do something else?" For example, I let out the wind and told others that Master Kong was a thief, but the thief looked down on Master Kong, and as a result, he was 'clicked'......"

"You...... You are despicable......" Kong Lanchuan suddenly widened his eyes and glared at Li Zicheng angrily, but said for a long time: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and no one can tamper with history!" ”

"What is the human heart?" Li Zicheng said: "If I kill all the officials in Zunyi Mansion, who else can know the truth?" All the truth, still not I have the final say? ”

"You killed all the officials...... It's really a butcher......" Kong Lanchuan suddenly pointed at Li Zicheng's nose and said, "In order to quell the rebellion in Banzhou, the imperial court did not hesitate to use 100,000 troops...... There are very few Han people in the local area, and the imperial court does not let them go back, but let their children and grandchildren take root in the local area......"

Li Zicheng finally found what he wanted, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Banzhou's rebellion, the imperial court used 100,000 troops?" Haha, do you know how many soldiers I used to take Zunyi Mansion? ”

"Today's Banzhou has been divided into the Zunyi Military and Civil Government and the Pingyue Military and Civil Government," Kong Lanchuan pondered for a moment in his heart and said: "If you want to take the entire Zunyi, you need at least 350,000 soldiers!" ”

"Thirty or fifty thousand?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Five thousand, to take Zunyi Mansion, I only used five thousand soldiers!" ”

"Five thousand?" Kong Lanchuan's eyes widened in an instant, "The people of the earth are all soldiers, and they rely on the high mountains and dense forests, you only use 5,000 soldiers......"

Li Zicheng naturally wouldn't tell Kong Lanchuan that the Heavenly Mandate Army used all white-pole soldiers, which were also suitable for mountain warfare, and were regular troops with rich combat experience, so he changed his words and said lightly: "Don't talk about this, I just told Master Kong that if Lord Kong is unwilling to take up the prefect, I will not only kill the original prefect and county officials, but even the captured 3,000 soldiers will be killed together, so as not to waste food!" ”

"You ......" Kong Lanchuan was so angry that he couldn't speak, he only pointed at Li Zicheng with a trembling hand, came over for a while, coughed, and said: "You are a sinner in the imperial court, the imperial court used 100,000 soldiers and spent a lot of silver to change the land and return to the ......."

"It is indeed not easy for the mountain people to disobey the indoctrination and change the land to the stream," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Then Lord Yikong, if you want to classify Zunyi as a familiar land, what do you have to ......?"

Kong Lanchuan said: "The natives of Zunyi Mansion initially accepted the imperial court, and as the liuguan gradually took control of the prefecture and county, as long as the appropriate garrison was maintained, within a hundred years, it would naturally be classified as a familiar land......

"A hundred years?" Li Zicheng shook his head, even if he didn't use extraordinary means, there were three generations, sixty years was enough, he shook his head, "A hundred years is too long, we can't wait for that day!" ”

"This is a long-term plan, how can people today see ......" Kong Lanchuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he closed his mouth and looked at Li Zicheng in a daze, for a long time, his face turned angry, but he no longer spoke.

Li Zicheng raised his neck and said: "Okay, don't talk about this, since Kong Lanchuan refuses to take up the prefect, presumably the rest of the officials and soldiers, and Master Kong, also have their own backbone, millet, and the order, kill all the prisoners of war, so as not to waste food!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi really has no feelings for these prisoners of war, since he is against the Heavenly Mandate Army, he really should be killed, he promised and went out immediately.

"Let's ...... slowly" Kong Lanchuan was shocked, this metropolitan governor, how can he say that he will kill him? This is the Rogue ......

"What else does Master Kong have to say?" Li Zicheng smiled lightly.

"The Grand Governor," Kong Lanchuan was helpless, forced to keep his face open, and arched his hands: "Can the Grand Governor give these Han people a way out?" They were all raised by their parents......"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng said: "What does Master Kong say? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor," Kong Lanchuan saw that Li Zicheng was not angry, so he boldly said: "There are not many people in Zunyi Mansion, can the Metropolitan Governor let them be classified as the people, so as to produce food for the Heavenly Mandate Army?" But he thought in his heart: once the imperial army returns, these officials and soldiers can immediately return to their original identities......

Li Zicheng sneered: "Master Kong is saying that he will leave them behind and fight against the Heavenly Mandate Army in the future?" ”

Kong Lanchuan hurriedly said: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor gives them a mouthful of food to eat, they will definitely not go against the Metropolitan Governor......"

"How so?" Li Zicheng said coldly: "Master Kong can guarantee it? Oh, Master Kong will be killed in a while, but he won't have to bear any responsibility at that time......"

Kong Lanchuan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "If you stay in the next place, most of the governors will let these people go?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled secretly in his heart, but there was still a moment of anger on his face, "If Master Kong agrees to take office, and they are willing to serve the Heavenly Mandate Army, I can naturally release them!" ”

Kong Lanchuan let out a long sigh and said: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor puts down the butcher's knife and is willing to serve the Heavenly Mandate Army, however, he cannot take up the prefect in the Xia, and he is willing to serve as a scribe ......."

"Why?" Li Zicheng is puzzled, is there a difference? Now that he has been a thief and his reputation is gone, do you still care about the level of identity?

Kong Lanchuan bent down, bowed his hands and said: "Don't hide it from the governor, my ability is limited, and it is really difficult to be qualified for the position of prefect......

Li Zicheng felt a little weird, "learning and excellence is a master", if you can read good books, I have never heard of anyone admitting that they will not be officials, even if they are not familiar with the unspoken rules of officialdom, they really can't get mixed up, and they can also find a spare job......

Could it be that in this Zunyi Mansion, the mountain people are not subject to indoctrination and are particularly difficult to manage?

He asked He Xiaomi to give Kong Lanchuan a seat, and said: "What does Master Kong mean, the Tusi of Zunyi Mansion still has a lot of influence?" Will they obstruct the government's enforcement? ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the original Tusi system still has a lot of tails...... Although all prefectures and counties are governed by liuguan, most of the officials are local officials," Kong Lanchuan wiped the beads of sweat from his head and continued: "Around Zunyi Mansion, except for the territory of Chongqing Prefecture in the north, Han people are ......the majority."

Li Zicheng nodded, and let Kong Lanchuan continue, since he was the prefect, he must be very familiar with Zunyi Mansion and the surrounding environment.

"The Pingyue Military and Civilian Mansion in the south is the center of the rebellion in the past, and the Tusi of Huguang in the east is Huguang Zhutusi," Kong Lanchuan's face showed a trace of helplessness, "The west is the Yongning Xuanfu Division, and the southwest is the Shuixi Xuanfu Division, which was in rebellion during the Apocalypse, and it was not until the Chongzhen period that the rebellion was finally quelled......"

"Yongning Xuanfu Division and Shuixi Xuanfu Division rebelled, and the imperial court just forgot about it?" Li Zicheng hoped that the imperial court could also abolish the Tusi like the Banzhou Xuanwei Division.

"The imperial court fights one, pulls one," Kong Lanchuan said: "Luxury Chongming is the main culprit of the rebellion, and the Yongning Xuanfu Division was abolished and Yongning Mansion was established; Mizuyan Kunihiko was an accomplice, and Kunihiko was not a consolation envoy, and the young consolation enabled An to inherit the throne......"

It turns out that the Yongning Xuanfu Division has been revoked! Li Zicheng was overjoyed, but he saved himself a lot of trouble, but this march map should have to be modified......

He looked at Kong Lanchuan and said, "Since the Tusi system is gradually disintegrating, what does Master Kong have to worry about?" Could it be that the remnants of the toasts will still be secretly making trouble? ”

"That's not true, at least I didn't find any clues below," Kong Lanchuan said: "However, the remnants of the Tusi clan, and the surrounding Tusi, often through marriage, are inextricably linked, and their power should not be underestimated, and if there is a slight disturbance, it is very likely to resurge......

"The matter of the Tusi, Master Kong don't worry," Li Zicheng said in his heart, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion has accumulated several years of experience in canceling the Tusi and implementing the Sinicization, and there is also a special law "Tui'en Law", "What Master Kong has to do is just to speed up the sinicization of Zunyi Mansion, of course, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will give you the greatest help, and the Mandate of Heaven Army will also be stationed in Zunyi Mansion." ”

"Sinicization?" Kong Lanchuan was taken aback, "Does the metropolitan governor mean that a large number of Han people have moved in from Chengdu?" ”

"No," Li Zicheng said: "Zunyi locals, no matter who they are, I will make them Han Chinese!" ”

"Naturalization?" Kong Lanchuan was even more surprised, "Metropolitan Governor, if they refuse to ......"

"That's not up to them, the Mandate of Heaven Army stationed here is not just a decoration," Li Zicheng said coldly: "I will use the form of law to restrict intermarriage between the Tusi clans and cut off the connection between them, if anyone violates the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Army, then they will wait to raid the family and exterminate the clan!" ”

Kong Lanchuan saw that Li Zicheng was going to kill again, and he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said: "Metropolitan Governor, there is another way for his subordinates to help naturalize Tusi......"
