For the Tushuai An Long in Shuixi City and his subordinates to lead the people to surrender in Kaicheng, Zhu Xieyuan, Shi Yongan and other civil officials were overjoyed.

After all, the soldiers are in danger.

Although with the approaching bombardment of artillery, it is a matter of time before Shuixi City is captured, but if they can surrender the soldiers without a fight, these civilian officials, who are familiar with military books, still hope to win without a fight.

But for Xu Chengming, Wang Guozhen, Luo Ganxiang, and the Guangxi wolf soldiers who had long been unable to suppress the bloodthirsty and wild soldiers, An Long and other Shuixi native officials led the crowd to surrender, but they were greatly disappointed.

Shuixi City has always been an important town on the post road of Longchang Jiuyi, which runs through the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Seven or eight years ago, commerce and trade in Shuixi City were prosperous, with many shops and wealthy businessmen gathering, and it was a prosperous scene.

Although it has been repeatedly poisoned by war, compared with ordinary small cities, Shuixi City is still a piece of fat in the eyes of these Guizhou soldiers and Guangxi wolf soldiers.

It's a pity that An Long led the local officials and soldiers who were guarding Shuixi City, and they fell like this, which made the hungry and thirsty Guangxi wolf soldiers very unhappy.

If you surrender, you have to follow the rules of the surrender, Zhu Xie's element is strict in governing the army, you can grab wherever you go, and you can do whatever you want in Shuixi, a land that temporarily belongs to the enemy, but since you are Lao Tzu's soldier, you must abide by the rules set by Lao Tzu.

This is known to Xu Chengming, the chief soldier of Guizhou, and also to Luo Ganxiang, who was born as a local official of Yongning Xuanfu Division, and Zhu Xieyuan's ruthlessness towards the Shuidong Song clan also made Mo Keji and Wei Ang, the leaders of the wolf soldiers from Guangxi, very jealous.

In particular, the soul tower that Zhu Xieyuan led the two of them to visit made these two unruly Guangxi heroes in awe.

The wolf character of the wolf soldier was not the wolf next to the dog word at first, but the wolf next to the human character.

The latter actually has nothing to do with the wolf, but is a kind of official body in the Liangguang Tusi, which means the local official.

Therefore, the wolf soldiers are actually soldiers, that is, Zhuang or Yao native soldiers led by Zhuang or Yao local officials.

It's just that these people have a fierce character, fierce in battle, are not afraid of death, and have poor military discipline, often burning, killing and looting everywhere they pass, treating the enemy almost as ruthlessly as they do with their own people, and their temperament is like a wolf.

Therefore, over time, the people in the south of the Yangtze River called the Zhuang or Yao Tusi army from Liangguang as wolf soldiers.

Today's two wolf soldiers, since they followed Xu Chengming to wash the twelve horseheads of the Shuidong Song clan with blood, have never found a chance to fight a tough battle.

After crossing the Yachi River, he finally entered the enemy territory, and according to Zhu Xieyuan's consistent rules, he could do whatever he wanted.

But along the way, all the "rebel seedling and thief villages" along the way were looted by Wang Guozhen's department and the Luo Ganxiang department who arrested people along the way to build the road, and the place far away from the post road was high and dense, and Zhu Xieyuan did not allow them to go, so they were extremely depressed along the way.

Fortunately, after entering Shuixi City, although Zhu Xieyuan did not allow his officials and troops to loot the people in the city, he ordered the restless Guangxi wolf soldiers to take the lead the next day and set out towards the luxury fragrance post sixty miles away.

As for the rebel and thief villages distributed on both sides of this sixty-mile post road, Zhu Xieyuan did not explicitly prohibit them from burning, killing and looting.

Among the Da Ming scholars of this era, the vast majority of people do not have an in-depth understanding of the complex and diverse ethnic ecology in the southwest region, and the areas where the southwest ethnic minorities gather are all called Miao Jiang, and all kinds of ethnic minorities in the southwest are often called Miao Man.

Therefore, the rebellion in the Shuixi region was obviously dominated by the Yi Tusi of the Shuixi clan, but at the beginning, it was called a rebellion in the first place.

So the name of the rebel seedling spread.

And the Shuixi village where the so-called "rebel seedlings" live is rightfully called the "thief village".

is both a traitor and a thief, so it seems that there is no need to say how to deal with it.

And Zhu Xieyuan did not mean to prohibit it explicitly, and the leaders of the wolf soldiers from Guangxi, Zhuang Yu Mo Ke and Wei Ang, also understood it.

This is not Zhu Xieyuan's momentary negligence, but his intention.

Emperor Chongzhen sent people to send secret decrees several times, not allowing the Shuixian clan and other southwestern rebel Miao tribes to be appeased.

And those Tusi tribes who rebelled with the two families of Lu'an, except for unconditional surrender and unconditional acceptance of the imperial court's settlement, were not allowed to pay money to negotiate peace.

Although Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Xieyuan full power to quell the rebellion in the southwest, he also delineated several bottom lines for him.

Historically, not long after the death of Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, An Wei led the people to surrender, and then ceded the land outside the water and reopened the Longchang Nine Posts to sue for peace.

At that time, it was the time when the army of the Later Jin State broke through the border and invaded Gyeonggi, and when the Beijing division was in danger, Emperor Chongzhen was in chaos, sent people to write outside the city, and ordered the Quartet to Qin Wang.

Therefore, at that time, whether it was the important ministers of the court or the southwest feudal territory, they were eager to quell the rebellion in the southwest as soon as possible, and then divide their troops to the north to relieve the danger of the Beijing division.

It was in this situation, in order to stabilize the southwest as soon as possible, and in order to let Xu Chengming, Deng Xi and other generals lead the army north to rescue the Beijing Division, Zhu Xieyuan accepted the land and sued for peace.

After the Ming Dynasty pacified the rebellion of Luxury, it was not able to take the opportunity to eradicate the Shuixi An, but only demoted the Guizhou Xuanwei Division of the Shuixi An's to one level and renamed the Shuixi Xuanwei Division.

However, An Wei still became the consolation envoy of the Shuixi Propaganda Division, which laid a hidden danger for another rebellion in Shuixi after Zhu Xieyuan's death.

As far as Zhu Xieyuan's intentions are concerned, especially in history, after he was reinstated in June of the first year of Chongzhen, he was ruthless in determining the strategy of mobilizing a large army to suppress Shuixi.

Explicitly ordered the officials and soldiers to collect millet from the 200 miles around Shuixi, which was clearly a way of cutting grass and eradicating the roots.

As for the later appeasement, it was really a last resort.

The imperial court already had no food and no salary, and it coincided with the siege of the Beijing division by the Jianyu army, no matter who you are, you must first save the urgency of the Beijing division and solve the danger of the Beijing division first.

When the imperial court transferred Xu Chengming's Guizhou soldiers and Deng Xi's Sichuan soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan had no soldiers available, and at that time, the two heroic figures of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan were also dead, so he got off the donkey and agreed to An's land cession and peace.

However, in this life, there is no such situation at the moment.

At least in Zhu Xieyuan's view, the national situation of the Ming Dynasty seems to have gradually improved with the accession of the current Emperor Chongzhen.

In order to let Zhu Xieyuan pacify Shuixi, Emperor Chongzhen had taken out three million silver dollars of food and ordnance from the interior, and also sent the Tiance Guard and the Nanjing Jingying people to listen to the help in the war.

This was never done in the apocalypse when Zhu Xieyuan supervised the southwest and encircled and suppressed the rebellion of Lu'an.

Otherwise, there would not have been the historical strategy of robbers and robbing.

Now that there is such a will, the current situation and conditions, Zhu Xieyuan must of course cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

In particular, the rebel seedling thief village along the Longchang Jiuyi is the object that Zhu Xieyuan must eradicate in his heart.

In his plan, after the pacification of Shuixi in the future, the land along the Longchang Jiuyi is a strategic place that must be firmly controlled in the hands of the official army.

In the future, whether it is to change the land on both sides of the post road and return to the stream, whether it is to set up a guard post to establish a military cantonment and a people's cantonment, and not to uproot the rebel and thief villages that are now settled on both sides of the post road, how to place the Han army to be stationed in the future, how to resettle the Han people to reclaim, and how to attract business travelers from all over the world to operate?

These tricks have existed in Zhu Xieyuan's heart for many years, and now fortunately, the new emperor has the trust and opportunity to spread them one by one, and Zhu Xieyuan must of course go all out to implement them.

And the long-suppressed Guangxi Mo's and Webster's wolf soldiers are the two sharp swords in his hands.

It doesn't matter if Zhu Xieyuan thinks about it, the Guangxi wolf soldiers under the command of Mo and Wei are naturally happy and screaming, but the Yi Miao villages on both sides of the sixty-mile post road leading from Shuixi City to the luxury fragrance post on the bank of the Xixi River are a disaster from the sky and fall into hell all of a sudden.

On the morning of 13 June, two wolf soldiers from Guangxi, without any supplies, rushed out of the west gate of Shuixi City with cheers.

As soon as they got out of Shuixi City, the two wolf soldiers completely released their tyrannical and bloodthirsty nature, and rushed to the "rebel seedling thief village" on the mountain ridge in the western suburbs of Shuixi City.

In fact, where are they rebelling and thieves?

They were nothing more than a group of unarmed mountain people, mostly old and weak, women and children.

An Bangyan recruited Shuixi Yi Miao to be young and strong, and fought with the imperial army for many years, and the first time he raised his army was to recruit 100,000 people, and was killed and injured by Wang Sanshan.

After Wang Sanshan's death, An Bangyan once again conscripted 100,000 troops in all directions, and was wiped out by Zhu Xieyuan at that time, and had to beg for peace and be appeased.

In the first year of Chongzhen, An Bangyan conscripted 100,000 troops again, and once again raised troops to rebel with Luxury Chongming.

Now these 100,000 Yi soldiers, and the first time to raise troops to rebel when the 100,000 Yi soldiers, but there is no comparison, when a drum out of the west, all the way to the east, to seize Anshun, trap Zunyi, the soldiers surrounded Guiyang, into Huguang, that is really invincible!

At that time, An Bangyan was so heroic, how many Yi Miao Tusi heard the wind and were willing to lead the horse to fall for it!

But what about the second rebellion? After going east out of the Yachi River, once attacking Zunyi, he completely retreated to the west of the water, and never dared to look east!

What does this mean?

It shows that after several years of conquest, the Shuixi Yi people have suffered heavy casualties, and today's Shuixi Yi soldiers are no longer the brave and good fighting Shuixi Yi soldiers in the past!

At the same time, a large number of Yi and Miao villages in the mountains and forests of Shuixi have also lost their vitality, except for the old and weak women and children, there are few young and strong men.

Such a Yi and Miao village, once it is characterized as a rebel Miao thief village, encounters a hungry and thirsty wolf soldier like a wolf, needless to say.
