Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan secretly said that he should arrange manpower as soon as possible and collect intelligence on the Burmese side as soon as possible. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

For these demoted officials, the peasant rebel army in Dali that has always refused to be mentioned, Feng Yunshan doesn't know what the reason is, and he doesn't want to investigate it, the national problem has been the most difficult to solve since ancient times, and it can not be completely solved until the good era in later generations, Feng Yunshan asked himself if it was still difficult to achieve that level.

But no matter what, you can't occupy the territory you want to get your hands on. What's more, according to the history that Feng Yunshan knew, since the peasant uprising in Dali, there were frequent wars, and after the rebel army was wiped out by the 100,000 army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some places of the uprising were brutally slaughtered, resulting in the original population of 7 million in Yunnan Province, after 30 years, it actually dropped to 3 million people, and the population lost more than half.

Thinking that these brothers and sisters who will be the sons and daughters of China in the future, Feng Yunshan has an inexplicable grief and indignation in his chest, the bloody and brutal Manchu banner people, in addition to the slaughter of the peasant rebels, also slaughtered innocent people regardless of the old and young, and the evil deeds are simply outrageous. I have the obligation and responsibility to stop this tragedy!

"Lord Wu, this king has to receive news that a peasant leader named Du Wuxiu in Dali a while ago led more than 100,000 peasants to revolt and occupied the city of Dali, and his righteous army also occupied more than ten prefectures and counties such as Shunning, Yunzhou, Menghua, Zhaozhou, Taihe, Binchuan, and Yongbei. I wonder why they revolted? Can you recruit An? Feng Yunshan asked, thought about it, and then turned to Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu and said, "In addition, in the land of Yunnan Province, are there those places that have not been occupied by my Holy Country?" ”

Wu Zhenyan's mouth opened, wanting to speak, but not speaking, looking like he wanted to say and stopped. In the end, it was his deputy, Sang Chunrong, the political envoy, who stood up and said: "Lord Wu, we are no longer ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, what else dare you not say?" ”

Turning his head to salute the Holy King, he said, "Holy King, it's not because some local officials and gentry colluded with the government to seize the mines occupied by those people. Moreover, the taxes levied by the local officials were too heavy, and the excesses and miscellaneous taxes made it impossible for the peasants to survive, so they naturally rebelled. ”

Because Sang Chunrong was born as a supervisor of imperial history and served as the prefect of Lin'an Mansion, he was promoted from Guizhou to the political envoy of Yunnan Bu, and he knew more about those things in the prefecture and county, and his personality was also jealous and hateful, and he had long been unaccustomed to all kinds of filth in the Manchu officialdom, so he spoke out.

Luo Qiongshu coughed and said: "Holy King, at present, in the entire land of Yunnan, in addition to the Dali Mansion and its surroundings occupied by Du Wuxiu's righteous army that the Holy King just mentioned, there are also Lijiang Mansion in the northwest corner, Tengyue Hall in the westernmost corner, Yongchang Mansion and Shunning Mansion and Pu'er Mansion in the southwest, plus Chuxiong Mansion City, which was later occupied by the troops led by Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunnan of the Qing Demon. These six places are still under the control of the Qing Demon. However, there are mainly four troops, one is the remaining 2,000 troops in Heli Town, stationed in Lijiang City; the second is that 3,000 troops of Tengyue Town are stationed in Tengchong City, Tengyue Zhizhi; the third is the 2,000 troops of Pu'er Town, stationed in the counties of Pu'er Province; The fourth is the 3,000 troops of Wenxiang, the governor of Yunnan in Chuxiong Mansion City. The rest, all of which are sporadic garrisons, are no longer a cause for concern. ”

Hearing this, Sang Chunrong stood up and said: "Holy King, Sang has an old relationship with Li Jinwen, the chief soldier of Pu'er Town, if the Holy King believes me, Sang is willing to go to Pu'er City and persuade Li Jinwen to surrender to the Holy Kingdom!" ”

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed and praised: "Good! Then bother Lord Sang to take a trip to Pu'er! If you can persuade him to surrender, it will be a great achievement. ”

Turning his head and facing Li Kaifang, he said, "In this way, Senior Commander Li, you send a squad of soldiers to protect Master Sang to reach Pu'er safely." ”

Li Kaifang hurriedly agreed.

"As for the remaining three Qing army troops, Lord Wu, you and a few others will jointly write a letter to persuade them to surrender, Division Commander Luo, you send someone to send it overnight. If you submit to the Holy Kingdom, everything will naturally be fine, but if you are stubborn and try to resist in vain, you will lead the 6th Division to attack immediately, and you must annihilate it all within four months and occupy the whole of Yunnan. Feng Yunshan ordered.

For Du Wuxiu of Dali, he was ready to write a letter in person to persuade him to return to the holy country. Of course, if he didn't surrender, Feng Yunshan would not be polite, even if he said that he had 100,000 troops, he was not afraid of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Second Division of the Army, who had been fighting bloodily for two years.

It is estimated that the peasant rebels are not even equipped with iron weapons, not to mention that half of the captives are already foreign guns in their hands, if there is really a war, Feng Yunshan can imagine that it is simply a one-sided massacre, all Feng Yunshan is not worried that he can't fight at all, but he is worried that the other party really wants to choose to fight, and he will innocently cost many people's lives.

Give the order, and the people do as they are told.

After taking the demoted officials away, Feng Yunshan summoned Li Kaifang, Luo Qiongshu, Wang Minyun, Fan Ruzeng, Zeng Yuheng, and Liu Shengbang, who was always by his side, and arranged them.

Feng Yunshan first asked Luo Qiongshu to prepare to gather most of the troops of the Sixth Division, and prepare to attack the Qing troops led by Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunan, who was in the city of Chuxiong Mansion.

"This person is a Manchu banner person, it is difficult to surrender, in order to weaken the Manchu Qing army, Brother Luo, you sent people in advance to the north of Chuxiong Mansion City, Dingyuan and Guangtong area, to lay a certain number of troops, this king suspects that as soon as he hears that the captive army is going to attack Chuxiong City, he will take advantage of the chaos to flee and flee north."

Luo Qiongshu hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the Holy King, Luo will definitely let him run his wings." ”

Feng Yunshan asked Luo Qiongshu to have 3,000 troops left to guard Kunming, just in case. The rest were stationed in Qujing, Dongchuan and Zhaotong to prevent Qing soldiers such as Guizhou and Siqi from coming to the rescue.

The rest of the state capitals were handed over to the B17th Brigade to be divided into several regiments and battalions, which were stationed separately.

At the same time, because of the lack of soldiers, Feng Yunshan ordered to dispatch the garrisons in Guangxi to Yunan to defend it. He also asked Luo Qiongshu to arrange personnel to recruit local soldiers in the occupied area and serve as local garrisons to maintain order.

For these surrendered officials, Feng Yunshan already had a plan to arrange them:

Wu Zhendi, the governor of Yunnan, was going to take him back to Guangzhou, and after familiarizing himself with the environment of the Holy Kingdom in the palace, he would make other arrangements.

Sang Chunrong, the political envoy of Yunanbu, after understanding, was an honest official, and he was also dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was a Qing official who did practical things, and Feng Yunshan was ready to appoint him as the special envoy of the Shengwang Palace's palace in Yunan Province to exercise the post of governor of Yunan.

Wang Chengluwei, a salt priest in Yunnan, and Xu Fengyu, a grain storage officer, were the deputy envoys of the Shengwang Palace's palace in Yunnan Province, assisting Sang Chunrong in straightening out the government affairs and civil affairs in Yunnan.

The rest of the Yunan envoys Zhang Yintang, Yunan Xuezheng Wu Cunyi, Yunan Governor Deng Erheng, Huijiang Governor Ji Haiming, Wuding Prefecture Governor Xu Jin and others were all brought back to Guangzhou, and after unified training by the Ministry of the Interior, they were then arranged for posts.

For the Qing soldiers who surrendered in Kunming, some of the young people in Yunnan who were forcibly conscripted were not willing to serve as soldiers anymore, so they distributed a small amount of copper coins and let them return home on their own. The rest, all left, handed over to Li Kaifang to lead, transferred out of Kunming City, to Chenggong County by Dianchi Lake, to train the troops, ready to select more than 10,000 people, re-form a strong force.

Those who were eliminated and were not suitable to be soldiers, Feng Yunshan was ready to let them build roads and renovate the ancient tea horse road. However, these will have to be arranged only after Xie Xiangcai, deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the royal palace, sends local officials to Yunan to take office.

Feng Yunshan's plan is to build a large cement plant based on the Lunanzhou Stone Forest next to Kunming. The fired cement, mixed with gravel slag, poured the road surface, and completely renovated the Ancient Tea Horse Road in sections, turning this ancient road into a real "road" in later generations, so that the Ancient Tea Horse Road can be passed quickly.

Of course, Feng Yunshan knew that it could not be completed in a few months or a year, but with the tens of thousands of people and the support of Yunnan's money and grain, Feng Yunshan was confident that it would be repaired. At that time, in exchange for the improvement of transportation efficiency and cost savings, it will definitely be cost-effective, but there will be no "Ancient Tea Horse Road" as a tourist monument in the future.

Then, Feng Yunshan personally wrote a letter of persuasion to Du Wuxiu in Dali City, persuading him to surrender to the Holy Country.

In the history of the previous life, this Du Wuxiu shouted the slogan of "Obey the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the call of Nanjing, and revolutionize the Manchu Qing Dynasty", his ambition is not particularly big, and he has never been called the king and emperor, and his people are a little indecisive, affectionate and righteous, to put it bluntly, some bad people, and they have repeatedly shown mercy to Ma Rulong and others, who betrayed the righteous army. Moreover, he attaches great importance to the people and subordinates in Dali City. This is a weakness, but it is also an opportunity for Feng Yunshan.

So, in the name of the Holy King of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, Feng Yunshan asked Du Wuxiu to lead the peasant rebel army to return to the Holy Kingdom and accept the adaptation of the Holy Kingdom! Feng Yunshan promised to ensure the safety of the military and civilians in Dali, and those who are willing to continue to serve as soldiers, in accordance with the rules of the Holy Country's captive army, enjoy the same treatment as the captive army after reorganization, and those who do not want to be soldiers and want to go home will be entangled with 100 yuan per person, and the local government of the Holy Country will distribute land after returning to their hometowns.

All of Du Wuxiu's subordinates promised to be properly resettled, and they could serve as middle-level and middle-level officers in the captive army, or as local officials in Tengyue and other prefectures in Dali.

There was no arrangement to besiege Du Wuxiu.

Four days later, Du Wuxiu's envoy rode a fast horse to Kunming and sent his handwritten reply: Du Wuxiu is willing to lead 100,000 brothers and sisters of the Dali Righteous Army to submit to the Holy Country!
