Chapter 808: The Way of Civil and Martial Arts

Colonizing overseas, or immigrating overseas, is of course a vast world, but in the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by foreign and powerful enemies, in the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British, and even including the Rakshasa and other Western colonial powers have entered the East, and even have come to the gate, you don't have a strong ocean-going navy, how can you talk about colonizing overseas?!

But can the problem of the displaced people be solved after there is a strong ocean-going navy?

The answer, of course, is no.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen has ascended the throne, he has not been as energetic as the one in history.

First, on the basis of the original salary, the salary was increased again, and later, seeing that the additional salary was not enough, it had no choice but to increase the salary, and as a result, the people were angry and resentful, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the problem of displaced people became more and more serious.

And now the Chongzhen Emperor's way to replace the increase in Liao salary and training salary is to confiscate the public.

If it is good, it is called killing the rich and helping the poor, and if it is not good, it is taking advantage of it.

But this method cannot last.

Especially after the Jin merchants were wiped out, it was no longer possible to continue.

He needed a new target, and this new target was the Mu Su Man of the Three Northwest Directions.

Even in later generations, people who have never been to Gannan and Ningxia will think that it is a desert with drought and lack of water.

But this is not the case, Gannan and Ningxia on both sides of the Yellow River can be called the land of fish and rice in the northwest and the granary of the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, the area was vast and sparsely populated, and a large amount of arable land was not cultivated, but it was occupied by more and more Musuman.

Let a large number of landless tenant farmers and displaced people in the northwest and the Central Plains come here to reclaim the land and settle down, which can not only alleviate the internal problem of displaced people, but also consolidate the northwest territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the rebellion of Mu Suman in the northwest, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried at all.

First, it was impossible for Mu Suman in this era to dominate China, and at best it would form a secessionist regime in the northwest region.

Second, Emperor Chongzhen had made so many arrangements in Shaanxi before, and many of them were taken to deal with such a situation one day.

The three sides of the Musu barbarian settlement, Yuan Chonghuan in the north, Sun Chuanting in the east, Hong Chengchou in the south, and the Yellow River and Tongguan defense line.

In this case, the northwest is all chaotic, all reversed, as long as they can't enter Shanxi for a while, can't enter the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty will still be as stable as Mount Tai.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry.

is also because of this, as long as Yuan Chonghuan can resolutely implement his intentions on the issue of Mu Suman, then Yuan Chonghuan's position is as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if there are some flaws and biases in the specific operation, this Chongzhen Emperor will not easily move him now.

After all, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, it is really not easy to find another civil official like Yuan Chonghuan who has nothing to do with the northwest and dares to think and act recklessly.

That night, outside Guyuan City, Mao Yujian went to Yuan Chonghuan to speak, but Yuan Chonghuan was unmoved because he understood this.

Now the notice issued by Mei Zhihuan and others in Ningxia Wuwei is, of course, approved by Yuan Chonghuan, because the announcement itself was instructed by Yuan Chonghuan to make it before he left.

As the saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is one by one.

Since ancient times, it is necessary to have military equipment to engage in civil affairs, and to engage in military affairs, it is natural that there should also be cultural preparations.

Within a few days after the release of the "Book of Confessions of the Wood and the Barbarians" of the Trilateral Governor's Office in various parts of Ningxia Town, various manuscripts spread to Hezhou, Minzhou, Lintao, Taozhou and other places.

When Ma Jinzhong, Ma Guangyu, Zhao Xihe and others read this notice, they were even more panicked than when they heard that Yuan Chonghuan had committed a massacre in Guyuan City.

This is not simply to punish the rebellious people, this is to force them to return to the west and move back to the west!

Although these people were stationed in different places, they never cut off contact with each other, and after seeing this proclamation one by one, the envoys returned and flowed on the way.

A few days later, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Guangyu, Zhao Xihe and other Musuman commanders from Taominhe Prefecture and other places reached an agreement and sent Bai Minghe, the leader of the Musuman rebels entrenched in Tianshui City, to meet Gao Yingxiang for these bigwigs.

Bai Minghe sent someone to contact Ma Shouying, asked Ma Shouying to pass on the book, and went north to Zhuang Lang to meet with Gao Yingxiang's henchman Liu Zhe, expressing his intention to abandon his previous suspicions and join forces to defeat the enemy.

But Bai Minghe waited in Zhuang Lang for three days, but finally did not wait for Gao Yingxiang's reply.

After Gao Yingxiang led the team into Pingliang, he sent one team after another to contact Ma Jinzhong, Ma Guangyu and other figures who launched the Taozhou mutiny, and told them the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but they did not get a response from these people.

At the beginning, Ma Jinzhong and others were still waiting for the imperial court to remove Yuan Chonghuan and then recruit him, and they were unwilling to have anything to do with Gao Yingxiang, a rogue born as a horse thief.

But at this time, they wanted to contact Gao Yingxiang to fight against the official army together, and then wanted to provide Gao Yingxiang with money and food support, so that Gao Yingxiang could take the lead against the imperial army in the east and north, but Gao Yingxiang quit.

The news of the deaths of He Yilong and He Jin made Gao Yingxiang grief-stricken.

The most important thing is that the two generals under Gao Yingxiang did not die at the hands of the imperial court officials, but at the hands of Musuman's allies.

This made Gao Yingxiang and his other generals of the battalion leaders under King Chuang all indignant.

Although Ma Shouying and Li Zicheng stood up and persuaded King Gao Yingxiang to bend and stretch, and temporarily accept the proposal of Ma Jinzhong and other Mu Suman generals, others under Gao Yingxiang resolutely opposed it.

In particular, Gao Yigong, Hao Yongzhong, Liu Tichun and others who fled back from Guyuan cried with snot and tears about the tragic deaths of He Yilong and He Jin, as well as what happened to their brothers in Guyuan.

Not for anything else, just because they are not Mu Subarbarian, and they don't believe in any Alaha, they will be killed, and this kind of thing can completely frighten Gao Yigong, Hao Yongzhong, Liu Tichun and others.

What the hell is such an ally like this, it's just an unfamiliar wolf cub, can such a person cooperate?!

Gao Yingxiang and others also saw the book of Xumu Suman issued in the name of the Trilateral Governor's Office in Pingliang City.

The various arguments in it, even in the eyes of Gao Yingxiang and other thieves, are not without a certain amount of truth.

In this way, Gao Yingxiang led his battalion leaders to discuss and discuss, but in the end he still did not go to see Bai Minghe.

This is equivalent to saying, you are you, we are us, you give money, let us work in the front, this matter is not negotiable.

After waiting for three days in Zhuang Lang, Bai Minghe returned disappointed.

When the news came, the local Musu barbarian officials who took power after the mutiny and civil unrest in Hezhou, Lintao, Taozhou, Minzhou and other places began to make preparations with both hands.

After the mutiny, Ma Jinzhong, who appointed himself the commander of Hezhou, vigorously recruited people to expand the armament war, and at the same time sent the children of the clan to make a detour to Ganzhou, and went to contact Milayin and others with heavy gifts to reserve a way back for himself and his family.

Zhao Xihe, Ma Guangyu, Ding Guodong, Bai Minghe and other Musu barbarian officials, large and small, also did not dare to put all their eggs in one basket.

Some began to transfer the property of family members, sending people north to Suzhou, Ganzhou, Hexi, and some went to Qinghai to contact Lin Dan Khan.

Because of the death of one of them, the Zhao Dayin family, which involved the mutiny in the entire Taomin land, sent capable people to contact the local Tusi in the jurisdiction of Derge Tusi to pave the way for themselves.

As soon as the upper-class magnates of the Musubarians in the land of Gannan Taomin did this, the ordinary Musubarian people naturally followed suit.

Those with more abundant property were reluctant to leave their fields and houses, so they had to wait and see with apprehension.

And those who had nothing on the four walls of the family just packed their bags and hurriedly fled west.

As for how to make a living after arriving in Hexi, Huangzhong, and even west of Jiayuguan, this question naturally cannot be considered.

Although these Mu Suman have long bid farewell to their nomadic life, after settling in the land west of the Taomin River in Gannan, most of them are also farmers, merchants, farmers and herdsmen.

In particular, most of the low-level Musuman people still rely on the Fansi, imams, and the upper Musuman local officials as tenant farmers, slaves, or sheep herders for a living.

Although these people knew that the future of going west was uncertain, but when it was really time to make a life-and-death decision, the Musu barbarian people who were unwilling to return to destroy the Fan Sect were naturally the best plan.
