When Chen Renxi's secret fold was quickly passed to the Beijing Division by the Jinyi Guards, it was already March 17. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it was still a bit cold at this time, the border of Gyeongshi was already in full bloom and the sun was shining, and the farmland around Gyeonggi was full of busy farming, especially all the way to the south.

Since last year, when the imperial court ordered the whole world to recruit people to open up wasteland and reclaim land, there have been more than 400,000 displaced people from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and other places in the vicinity of Gyeonggi alone, including more than 100,000 young and strong people between the ages of 18 and 40.

This is the data that Yang Yingqian's Juntun Division counted after the implementation of household organization among immigrants.

Because the displaced people from the west and south are still flocking here, these statistics are constantly changing.

If we add the displaced people recruited by Lu Xiangsheng of the three prefectures of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde and the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, as well as the displaced people recruited and resettled by Yuan Keli, the governor of Caoyun, in the state capitals on both sides of the canal, then in the past six months, the number of displaced people, disaster victims, refugees and other places who have been resettled in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and other places has reached nearly one million. Among them, there are nearly 300,000 young and strong people who can recruit soldiers and work. Not only is there a sufficient supply of soldiers, but also the people who have dredged the canal, opened mines in Zunhua, and built cities along the border also have a steady stream of human resources.

The situation around Gyeonggi is improving. However, these days, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is still depressed, and he seems to be a little worried. Because of the rebellion in Sichuangui and other places in the southwest, after a year of quietness, it has now resurfaced again.

As early as the first year of the Apocalypse, Sichuan Yongning Tusi Chongming rebelled, with more than 100,000 native soldiers, and broke through more than 40 prefectures and counties in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, including Chongqing, and once almost broke the southwest town CD Chongming rebelled not long after he became the emperor, and set up the prime minister's government or something.

Although the imperial army made every effort to quell the rebellion, the Ming Dynasty had been discarded for many years, and the officers and soldiers of the inland guard were even weaker, and they could not be wiped out for a while.

And this situation also aroused the ambition of Guizhou Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan. A few years later, An Bangyan also rebelled and occupied many of the state capitals of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

From the beginning of the rebellion of Luxury Chongming, the Emperor of the Apocalypse began to send troops to suppress it, but there are too many mountains in the southwest, and most of them are ethnic minorities, Luxury Chongming and An Bangyan are the Tusi leaders who have guarded the local area for generations, and they are naturally close to the ethnic minorities in the southwest.

In this way, after several governors and governors, the rebellion of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces could not be finally pacified.

During this period, the most promising opportunity to quell the rebellion of Lu'an appeared when Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Guizhou at the time, led the troops to quell the rebellion. At the end of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Hao Chongming and An Bangyan experienced several fiascos in a row, and they retreated to the mountains and forests before the rebellion. It's a pity that before the completion of the work, Zhu Xieyuan's mother died of illness, Zhu Xieyuan returned to his hometown, and the governor of Guizhou was replaced.

Some of Zhu Xieyuan's policies were also attacked by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and as a result, they were abandoned, and Zhu Xieyuan's promise to the leaders of the ethnic minorities in the areas that had been pacified was also unable to be fulfilled, and there were signs of instability in the Tusi of Yunnan, Guichuan and other places.

Fortunately, the imperial army killed the local toast hard enough, and although some of the toasts who surrendered were ready to move, they did not dare to blatantly fight back. Zhang Heming, who succeeded Zhu Xieyuan as the governor of Guizhou and the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, changed the policy of extermination and began to advocate appeasement when the counterinsurgency situation was very good. In this way, the rebellion in the southwest temporarily entered a relatively calm stage.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen, since he came to this time and space, his attention has mainly focused on Gyeonggi, Liaodong and Northwest, and has not yet had time to pay attention to the situation in the southwest. Because the southwest was relatively calm before, I was a little naïve to think that the problem in the southwest had been solved, so I didn't intervene too much.

Unexpectedly, at the end of February, Yongning Tusi Luxury Chongming, who had been recuperating for more than two years, once again united with Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan to invade Guizhou, and Zhang Heming, who was defenseless and defenseless, was naturally defeated and could not be defeated again, and in less than a month, the entire southwest Guizhou region, except for Guiyang, was occupied by the Tusi army of Luxury Chongming and An Bangyan, and the place that had been hard to recover in the past few years was also lost again. When the military report reached Beijing, the ministers of the cabinet and the military aircraft department were shocked.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was also surprised, he thought that the southwest had been pacified, but it turned out that it was not like that at all. Emperor Chongzhen summoned several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department to study countermeasures, and these ministers of military aircraft of course strongly advocated extermination and completely eradicating the source of the disaster.

On this issue, both the original Emperor Chongzhen in history and the current Emperor Chongzhen are all in full agreement. After the military center of gravity of the Ming court moved north, those Tusi in the southwestern provinces gradually became the same as a country within a country, if there is a loyal heart to the Ming court in Beijing, if there is no loyalty, those Tusi are simply independent kingdoms, do not pay taxes and do not say, the hereditary inheritance of the Tusi does not need the recognition of the imperial court, and even their own territory, and do not let the Ming government pass, even if there is often a tribute in the early Ming Dynasty, it is not at all now, except for asking the court for rewards, It has almost nothing to do with the Ming court.

Of course, there are also Tusi who perform better, such as Ma Qiancheng and Ma Xianglin father and son of the Shizhu Xuanwei Division, and Qin Liangyu, who took over as the Shizhu Tusi after Ma Qiancheng's death, not only listened to the Xuan, personally led the army to Liaodong to fight, but now he is also fighting on the front line of quelling the rebellion of Lu'an.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many things were corrupted because of the vagaries of the imperial court's position, the most harmful of which was the appeasement of rebels in various places.

Yang He, the governor of the trilateral region in history, appeased the thieves in northern Shaanxi, and as a result, he always rebelled immediately after accepting the reward, which became a routine for the thieves to deal with the imperial army.

Another example is Xiong Wencan, who later became the governor of the five provinces, was so blind that he appeased the big thief Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, and as a result, a large number of rewards were distributed, which not only did not appease Zhang Xianzhong and others, but also stimulated their greater appetite, made their strength stronger, and then rebelled again.

In this life, Emperor Chongzhen will never allow such a thing to happen again, and the rebels must die, there is nothing to say. So whether it is a slash or a fuss is quickly determined.

As for the selection of the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, some people suggested that Zhang Heming could be given another chance, and that he could not be removed after one failure, and some suggested that the imperial court should send a minister to mobilize the Beijing camp and the nine-sided army to quell the rebellion.

Although Zhu Daming did not know how the Rebellion of Lu'an in history was finally quelled, he also knew that these measures were not taken at that time, and there must have been other candidates or methods.

Sure enough, at the court meeting on March 15, someone proposed to invite Zhu Xieyuan, the former governor of Zhang Heming, to go out of the mountain, and then listened to Zhu Xieyuan's resume narrated by Cheng Jiming, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up and he was greatly moved. But after all, Zhu Xieyuan is already over 60 years old, and the southwest belongs to the land of jungle smoke and miasma, with high mountains and dense forests, and he doesn't know if his body can handle the heavy task of quelling the chaos.

But after thinking about it, there was no other more suitable candidate, so Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind, and sent a decree to let Zhu Xieyuan immediately recover, with the title of the official of the imperial history of the right capital, as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the governor of Guizhou, Qin gave Shangfang the sword, commanded the soldiers and horses of the five provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guizhou, and was fully responsible for exterminating the Tusi bandits such as Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, and implemented the policy of changing the Tusi to a liuguan in the recovered areas, and the territory of the rebellious Tusi was confiscated, and then distributed to the landless peasants or the serfs of the Tusi family.

After the public decree was passed down, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the Jinyi guards to go to Zhu Xieyuan's hometown in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, to explain to him the proposition of the imperial court, to be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and resolutely not to appease, even if there were ten rooms and nine emptiness, everyone was killed, and he did not hesitate, and at the same time he did not need to resign, and immediately went to Guiyang after receiving the decree to collect and command the imperial army to quell the rebellion. As for Zhang Heming, the governor of Guizhou, of course, he was exempted from official duties and returned to his hometown, and he stayed idle with his crown belt, and he was not held accountable for the defeat of the army and the loss of land for the time being.
