In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen was furious again, and in his anger, he had to sprinkle his anger on Yang Sichang in front of him, "...... What do you eat as a secretary of the military department? I watched the Tartars go around the Jingshi, but they were helpless......"

"Your Majesty ......" Yang Sichang drooped his head, looking pitiful.

"What else do you have to say?" Zhu Youzhen glared at Yang Sichang, and regretted it in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have appointed Governor Lu Xiangsheng to reinforce the world......

Yang Sichang went out, except for Lu Xiangsheng, there was no shield at the moment, "Your Majesty, it's all Lu Xiangsheng...... He didn't listen to the advice of Gao Qiqian and Shoufu Liu, and fought against the Tartars without permission...... As a result, the situation has been bad again and again......"

"It's not a pity that Lu Xiangsheng died!" Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and said, "But the situation around Jingshi, is it his responsibility?" ”

Yang Sichang didn't dare to reply, just lowered his head and let Zhu Youzhen sing a scolding one-man show.

“…… I have raised these civil and military officials, and they will only abuse and have fun in the court on weekdays, and when it comes to critical moments, no one can count on them......" Zhu Youzhen glanced at Yang Sichang casually, fell down on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Yang Sichang knew that Zhu Youzhen must still hate Huang Daozhou and other speech officials in his heart, so he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the troubles of the officials, the Tartars would not have gone south to break through......"

Zhu Youzhen's eyes suddenly opened, and he glared at Yang Sichang on the opposite side, if it weren't for Yang Sichang's day by day, the officials wouldn't know about the peace negotiation at all, "Now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, what about the reinforcements from all over the country?" Do you want to let the Tartars wreak havoc around the Jingshi? ”

Yang Sichang was bored, and hurriedly avoided Zhu Youzhen's gaze, and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, has been ordered to rush over, and the minister advocates that the rest of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army be temporarily handed over to Sun Chuanting......"

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Where is Sun Chuanting today?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Sun Chuanting is in Jinju, confronting the Tartars," Yang Sichang saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was relaxed, and his heart was a little settled, "But there are too few soldiers in Sun Chuanting's department, and there are less than 20,000 ......."

"Then allocate some more soldiers and horses for him," Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, looking very impatient, "Go quickly, the Tartars are now, everything is focused on expelling the Tartars!" ”

"The minister understands, the minister retires!" Yang Sichang left the Qianqing Palace quickly and walked out of the palace gate, only to feel that his back was soaked.

However, his heart was like drinking honey, and the emperor only scolded twice, and there was no punishment measure, and a big defeat passed like this......

Lu Xiangsheng died, not only did he lose a military general who opposed peace, but in Zhu Youzhen's mind, he was also more determined to achieve the goal of peace.

He had already seen just now that Zhu Youzhen was not against the peace, but because the officials were against it......

However, thinking of the Heavenly Mandate Army far away in Sichuan, Yang Sichang's heart tingled, only by quickly negotiating peace with the Qing Dynasty and stabilizing the northern front could he concentrate his forces and completely exterminate the Liukou......

……………………………………………………………………

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to march through the valleys on the east and west sides of the Tongzi Post Station in small flags, looking for suitable settlements.

It was not until the evening of the next day that all the soldiers returned, although they were not sure if there were suitable neighbors, but they told Li Zicheng that there were three small rivers on the east bank of the Tongzi Post Station, including the Luoquan Rock Ditch, and a huge river on the west bank, the Songkan River, and near the rivers, there were flat land of varying sizes!

With flat land and fresh water, can't you grow crops?

Li Zicheng immediately returned to Zunyi, and when passing through Tongzi County, he summoned Tan Lu, the county governor, and asked him to select a site in the county, adding three or four "li", in addition to Tongzi Post Station and Songkan Post Station, the other one or two "li", so that he could make a choice according to the terrain and topography, and it was best to open up an official road.

After Tongzi County, the official road is extremely busy, Zunyi local prisoners of war, divided into three groups, is pouring cement avenue between Tongzi County and Zunyi Mansion, preliminary estimates, about sixty percent of the total mileage has been completed.

Li Zicheng was very happy in his heart: At this rate, the "Sichuan-Guizhou Ancient Road" from Ba County to Zunyi County will be completed in June and July next year at most, and the prisoners of war still have three months to expand the cement road to Suiyang County and Renhuai County on the east and west sides along the "Sichuan-Guizhou Ancient Road." This is basically enough time.

As for the expansion in the future, I am afraid that we will have to pay a fee, unless there are new prisoners of war......

Back to Zunyi Mansion, Li Zicheng saw that inside and outside the city, there was a peaceful scene, and he was very happy in his heart.

Under the banner of submitting to the central country, the Tusi are actually the local princes, not only controlling the economy, civil affairs, and judicial power, but also their own army, and even militarily independent of the central country.

After the recent rebellion of Yang Hualong in Banzhou and the rebellion of Luxury Chongming in Yongning, after the Ming court suppressed the rebellion, they all took the opportunity to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, and abolished the Tusi system in the two places.

Li Zicheng estimated that the central state did not want to permanently solve the Tusi problem, but it was often under pressure from the nomads in the north and northwest and could not spare enough strength, so it reached a temporary peace with the Tusi.

However, the central country has always been eventful, and even in the era of the Great Unification Dynasty, it is difficult to completely eradicate the Tusi in the mountains and educate the local people......

If we can solve the Tusi problem forever and truly integrate the local area into the Han region, no matter how much it costs, it will be worth it!

This time, he poured cement avenues in Zunyi Mansion (Banzhou Xuanfu Division) and Yongning Mansion (Yongning Xuanfu Division), which was to take the military as the forerunner and explore a way to completely solve the problem of Tusi through economic, transportation and other means.

The local population is too small, and the cement avenues poured in these areas are difficult to play an important role in the military and economy in a short period of time, all in order to eliminate the influence of the toast.

With a large number of prisoners of war as the cheapest labor, the cost of pouring concrete avenues will also be minimized, and the prisoners of war will only need to provide three meals a day, and by the way, they will be able to pass on God among them, as long as these prisoners of war will be naturalized in the future, it will promote the spread of Catholicism, gradually eradicate the primitive religion of the alien race, until the alien race is completely annihilated.

In addition, the cement is produced in its own factory, and only a very small number of technicians are paid, and most of the strong men are still prisoners of war.

The Mandate of Heaven Army gave up the eastward expedition to Huguang, Shaanxi, and Henan this time, and instead concentrated on eliminating the Tusi around Chengdu Prefecture, southern Sichuan, western Sichuan, and even the Songpan Plateau in the northwest, and would not let go, what Li Zicheng needed was a complete Sichuan!

Although the work of eliminating Tusi, setting up prefectures and counties, and allowing the people to "become Han nationality and serve God" has been carried out vigorously, Li Zicheng still encountered a headache when he came to Zunyi Fucheng.

The auxiliaries brought 500 Mongolian women to the city of Zunyi when they were transporting them, and Li Zicheng had originally intended to set up a fruit house in Sichuan, but recently decided to reward them to prisoners of war.

However, the prisoners of war still had nearly ten months to go before the end of their term of service, and during the period of hard labor, the prisoners of war were centrally managed, and it was impossible to marry these Mongolian women back, even if they were married, they could not be placed.

Mongolian women were temporarily placed in Zunyi Fucheng, but for ten months, would they be allowed to eat and drink for nothing?

Li Zicheng summoned Kong Lanchuan, the prefect of Zunyi.

During this time, Kong Lanchuan has been busy registering the people and distributing land, he not only saw the hope of solving the Tusi problem, but even the people were changed to Han nationality, and he couldn't help but praise Li Zicheng: How did the metropolitan governor come up with it? And that puzzling Catholic ......

Hearing that Li Zicheng summoned him in the military camp, he hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he bowed his head and bowed: "My subordinates knock on the governor!" ”

"Get up!" Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked Kong Lanchuan to sit on the opposite Mazha, "Master Kong, what are you busy with during this time?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, during this period of time, the subordinates and the officials in the palace will go to various places, make every effort to register the population, and redivide the land as soon as possible," Kong Lanchuan took out a large stack of white paper from his arms and offered it with both hands, "The subordinates have redivided the land for the fourteen 'li' outside the city, and the remaining two 'li' can be completed at the end of the first month of next year at most, this is the register of subordinates, do you want to see it?" ”

Li Zicheng looked at the thick stack of papers, and couldn't help but tingle his scalp, this is the spare material in the house, when do you want to see it? He laughed and said: "During this time, Master Kong has worked hard, I won't read the paperwork, and when the registration is over, I will check it by a special person!" ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's the responsibility of the subordinates," Kong Lanchuan stuffed the documents back into the cotton clothes on his chest, waved his hands towards Li Zicheng, and said: "The subordinates followed the governor of the capital, and only then did they know that only by completely erasing the toast will these deep mountains and old forests really belong to the Han land...... Cement avenues, Catholicism, etc., are unheard of by subordinates, but they are the most effective means of naturalizing the Yi people......"

Li Zicheng smiled secretly in his heart, these are just auxiliary means, the most effective means, or benefits, if the people don't get more land, who knows if they will really follow the Heavenly Mandate Army?

Defeat the Tusi and divide their land, the Mandate of Heaven army did not bring any property, but only redistributed the original land, which could attract the people who accounted for the vast majority of the population - Mao Taizu's trick should be good!

He smiled faintly and said, "Master Kong, how are the people?" Are they willing to 'join the Han nationality and serve God', and really follow the Mandate of Heaven? ”

"The vast majority of the people are sincere, and their subordinates have not encountered much resistance in the process of distributing land, even if a small number of people don't quite understand, they also use persuasion methods, and they don't use the army at all," Kong Lanchuan nodded violently, "Don't worry, the vast majority of the people will follow the Metropolitan Governor, and the remaining small clusters, the subordinates will continue to educate them, their number is too small, even if they have different intentions, they will not cause much loss to the house!" ”

"As long as they are truly benefited, the vast majority of the people will follow the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion and leave," Li Zicheng nodded and said: "But a small group of stubborn people must be resolutely and severely punished, and the Mandate of Heaven Army stationed in Zunyi Mansion is definitely not a decoration!" ”

Kong Lanchuan arched his hand and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said, "Master Kong, what do you plan to do with the five hundred Mongolian women stranded in the mansion?" ”
