Fang Yuan smiled and pretended not to know, "Thank you for it, you can sweep away the bandits in the six provinces of Huguangnan and stabilize the hearts of the people, it can be regarded as the best thanks." Jing Shuai and I still have military and political affairs to deal with, if there is nothing to do, you can step back first! ”

Xing was reluctant to leave, obviously there were other sayings, and said softly, "The regent is as kind to our mother and son, and we have nothing to repay, and we are willing to guard the gate of Huguang for the regent." ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he heard this, and Jing Jie said in disgust, "Xing's family, the adjustment and defense of various places have already been formulated, how can you go back on your word and resist the decree?" ”

The Xing clan didn't contradict him, just looked at Fang Yuandao, "Please let the regent decide." ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "Xing Clan, what portal do you want to guard?" ”

Xing said tentatively, "Yiling in Huguang, Jiangling guards the waterway of the Sichuan, and we are willing to guard the gateway to the river for the regent." ”

Yiling and Jiangling are both Jingzhou Prefectures in Jiangbei, and they are also one of the richest prefecture capitals in the Huguang region. She went around and found a high-sounding excuse, but in essence she still wanted to transfer to the rich Jingzhou Mansion, and did not want to stay in the poor and remote Nanliu Mansion.

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Xing's family, Liu Zongmin and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan are already at the end of their rope, and they don't dare to go out of Sichuan to fight if they have the courage to leave it, leaving you to guard the gateway to Sichuan, it is overkill, and it is of great use to keep you in Nanliufu!" ”

Xing still thought that his so-called great use was fooling, but he didn't dare to refute it, he just asked reluctantly, "Regent, what is the use of leaving us in Nanliu Mansion?!" Can the regent give me a clear word? ”

Fang Yuan was also a little dissatisfied when he saw that she began to fight again, and said lightly, "Xing Clan, do you know why the other Wandering People's Army has been dismantled and reorganized, and only the independent establishment of your Gao Family Army is retained?!" ”

Retaining the establishment of the Gao family's army, there were many dissatisfied voices in the army, but it was all thanks to Fang Yuan's full support that it was saved.

Xing couldn't see through the reason, according to her understanding, of course, Fang Yuan took a fancy to the dewy relationship between the two. But he didn't dare to say this nonsense in public, so he asked, "The slave family is shallow, please ask the regent to solve your doubts." ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou in the southwest of Huguang have not been pacified, and the six southern prefectures are close to Guangxi and Guizhou. I ordered Gao Jiajun to retain the establishment, and I need you to pacify Guangxi and Guizhou. Since you want to guard the gateway for me, go and see the gateway to the south of Huguang and expand the territory! ”

Saying this, not only Xing's, but even Jing Jie was secretly surprised.

Fang Yuan retained the complete establishment of the Gao family's army, and even recruited troops and horses for them, the purpose of the sophisticated equipment was to take care of the joy of the bed collapse with the Xing family, but Xiang Zhuang's sword was intended to Pei Gong, and the sword pointed to the three political divisions of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan.

The six prefectures of Huguangnan, plus Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan are all ethnic minority gathering places, and the Tusi of each ethnic group is governed by districts according to the division of ethnic groups and forces. The Ming Dynasty established various propaganda divisions in these ethnic minority areas for extensive and autonomous management, and the military and political power still fell into the hands of local Tusi.

These toasts were nominally submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but in the local area, they were all soil emperors. In the Wanli period, there was also a large-scale rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the hereditary Yang Tusi of Banzhou for 800 years, which was also one of the military exploits of the three major expeditions of Wanli.

For these outsiders, it is necessary to use both grace and power, and Fang Yuan retained this bad-reputed bandit Gao Jiajun to deter the Tusi of Guangxi and Guizhou. The ordinary Xuanjia Army also has to talk about three disciplines and eight points of attention, the bandit of the Gao Family Army is the master of the rampant and domineering, who dares to provoke? If something happens, Fang Yuan will also push two, five or six.

Relying on the bandit army of Gaojiajun in the southern six prefectures of Huguang, and even in Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, the Tusi who did not obey the orders of the imperial court and were unwilling to accept the administrative jurisdiction of Fang Yuan were eradicated. In this way, the administrative power can be penetrated into the jurisdiction of these Tusi, and the current situation of Tusi in various places is broken by the fact that the Tusi are all local emperors.

This is the top priority of pacifying the south, and Fang Yuan was handed over to the Gao family's army, which was actually a trust and test for the Xing family and Gao Yuanjue.

Xing asked tentatively again, "Regent, if we can win Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, what reward will we have?!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at her with a smile and said, "Since Gao Yuanjue is my righteous son, as long as you do things for me loyally, there will be no problem in being a feudal official in the southwest." ”

Xing was secretly happy when he heard this, according to Fang Yuan's words, the so-called feudal official must be at least the governor of the political department. She said with joy in her heart, "Thank you, Lord Regent! ”

Fang Yuan said unhurriedly, "Xing's crusade against Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan is a huge project, and it can't be completed by the Gao family alone. Moreover, Gao Yuanjue is still young, and his qualifications are not enough to be competent. I decided that it would be completed by the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Guangzhou, the Gao Jiajun, and the General Military Office of the Three Divisions. The overall management of the affairs of the conquest is entrusted to Qin Zhan, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, and you are responsible for negotiating and cooperating with the work of the governor of Qin. ”

Fang Yuan's meaning could not be clearer, Qin Zhan, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, was in charge of the commander-in-chief of military affairs in the southwest, and 30,000 Gaojia troops and 30,000 Jiangxi troops cooperated with Qin Zhan's military operations. In fact, the power of expropriation was handed over to Qin Zhan, not to Gao Jiajun. The Gao family army could only be used as the vanguard of the charge, and did not have military decision-making power.

Xing was slightly stunned, although she was a little dissatisfied, she knew that it was a fool's dream to conquer the southwest with this Gao family army. Moreover, Fang Yuan said that it was difficult for the horse to chase, and it was useless to argue again, so Yingying bowed down and said, "The slave family has the order." ”

She looked up at Fang Yuan, her eyes were like water, and she said softly, "Regent, the Gao family army will leave camp in five days and go to Yongzhou Mansion." ”

The flavor of Xing's words was very obvious, that is, he wanted to take advantage of a few days of leisure time to have fun with Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked at the Xing family, if the two of them continued to fight like this, the paper would not be able to contain the fire after all, and they could only cut off their private relationship with her as soon as possible, so that they could seal Youyou's mouth, so he pretended not to know, "Xing, the military situation is urgent, let's set off in three days!" ”

Xing's hearing the sound and knowing the meaning of elegance, Fang Yuan didn't want to have a non-work relationship with her anymore, his eyes flashed a touch of gloom, and he lowered his gaze and said, "Yes, the slave family has left!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at the back of Xing's lonely departure, and also sighed secretly, the two were thousands of miles apart, and it was estimated that they would go to the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue when they met, so it was okay to break it like this.

Seeing Xing's departure, Jing Jie asked, "Boss, the two political secretaries in Guangxi and Guizhou, as well as the Mu Wangfu in Yunnan, have provoked us from the future, and they really want to do something to them?!" ”

Fang Yuan leisurely lay back in his chair and said, "The third child, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, the world is not the king's land, the coast of the land is not the king's minister, why do Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan have the privilege to be able to divide the territory on one side?!" It is precisely because they did not come to provoke us that they must find out the name of the teacher first! ”

Jing Jie asked again, "Can Gao Jiajun really be trusted?!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Xing's woman, although she doesn't have far-sighted vision, she is smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, she doesn't dare to act rashly." Shilling Gao Jiajun to toss and toss with the toasts of Guangxi and Guizhou! ”

"Lao Ma, send me an official letter to the Governor's Mansion of Minguang, and order the fourth child and the chief soldier Naji to prepare for the war and take precautions!"
