202 The Conundrum of the Onishi Imperial Court
Sichuan, Chengdu Mansion, the original provincial capital of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, is now the Xijing of the Great Western Army, since Zhang Xianzhong succeeded in the raid on Chongqing in Wanxian County, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Great Western Army, it did not take long to completely occupy the entire Sichuan region, except for Chengdu, and then, surrounded Chengdu Mansion with superior troops, and finally took Chengdu Mansion completely, and then ascended the throne and called the emperor, established the Great Western regime, and for a time the prestige was greatly boosted, and chased Li Zicheng.
Sitting in the palace, Zhang Xianzhong did not have the pride and ambition to win the whole of Sichuan just now, but instead had an angry look on his face. The so-called imperial palace was rebuilt after the original political envoy Yamen was renovated, fortunately, for these, Zhang Xianzhong did not care, as long as he could live.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on, why do those toasts resist desperately even if they know that they are not our opponents, don't they know what it means to know the times to be a handsome? In addition, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty recently, Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, ****** and others, these people have failed, why don't they hurry up and get out with their tails between them, and they are still intercepting and killing our officials everywhere all day long, do you have any plans? No wonder Zhang Xianzhong was furious, he was able to occupy Sichuan very smoothly, and he was complacent that this was God's reward for him for so many years and so difficult, but what he didn't expect was that after he occupied Sichuan, everything broke out completely.
You must know that Sichuan has been different from the Central Plains civilization since ancient times, because of the difficulty of its access roads, coupled with its own wealth, which has caused Sichuan itself to be self-styled in disguise. They occupied a mountain forest one after another, and as their own territory, they had little contact with the outside world at all, which also caused the successive dynasties to be unable to control Sichuan in the same way as other provincial capitals.
As early as the Han Dynasty, the area that the imperial court was able to control was actually a small part of the east, and some other areas were occupied by those ethnic minorities. That is, the so-called Nanban is controlled, and the era that really allows the Han people to expand their scope in Sichuan is the Three Kingdoms period, and the Shu Han with Sichuan as the foundation, if they want to deal with the huge Wei State, they must occupy more territory, so they use all their forces to develop the original smoke miasma in Sichuan.
After the Three Kingdoms, Sichuan also rose and fell with the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty. When the Central Plains Dynasty was prosperous, the imperial court controlled a larger area, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, it would stop the development of Sichuan. From time to time, these people will rebel against the ruling dynasty, of course. The momentum is very small.
And the dynasty that really made all the ethnic groups in Sichuan return to the Central Plains Dynasty, that is, the Ming Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, expelled the Mongolian Tartars, and after unifying the Central Plains, in order to ensure that the Ming Dynasty established by himself could prosper forever, he divided his sons to various places. It was used to appease the place, and the one who was divided into Sichuan was the eleventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was known as 'Shu Xiucai', and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.
It is said that the nine sons of Longsheng are different, and Zhu Yuanzhang's sons are also different, and there is the kind-hearted prince Zhu Biao. There are Zhu Di who likes to fight, and there are also people who like to read. And this Zhu Chun is a person who is weak by nature and likes to read since he was a child.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally arranged for these sons to go to the place to stabilize the stability of the place, and although Zhu Chun was weak since he was a child, he was not a pedantic person, and he was taught by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, how could he be that kind of incompetent person, and then, after Zhu Chun arrived in Sichuan, he studied everything in Sichuan in great detail, and even visited those minority areas in person, and finally made a summary, and finally established a set of effective methods, that is, the Tusi system.
Because although these ethnic minorities have a long heritage, many of them are still in a state of slave society because of the closure of the news, therefore, he persuaded most of the people in power of the ethnic minorities to make these Tusi, and the places they control are also under their management, and also according to the characteristics of those ethnic minorities, they are given a lot of necessary materials, under this multiple attack, those ethnic minorities have given up against the Ming Dynasty, and very loyally maintained the Ming Dynasty, not only in peacetime to restrain his subordinates not to create trouble, Even in wartime, it was very active to lead troops to fight, and this Tusi system was also an important means for the Manchu court to deal with various ethnic minorities later, and during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tibet, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other places that were originally in rebellion were able to stop resisting, and it was also because of this system.
More than 200 years of the Tusi system, not only turned this system into a culture, but also integrated this system into the blood of Sichuan Tusi, you say, in this case, Zhang Xianzhong, an outsider, how can he rely on some benefits, with a few empty official positions, to gather these Tusi?
Therefore, these days, Zhang Xianzhong sent out to win over the people from all over the country, and they have returned, you must know that those toasts, many of them still retain the ancient traditions, so those officials who came back to Onishi, except for a few who completed the task, many of them are missing ears or noses, and some are directly sent by people to send their heads.
If that's all, Zhang Xianzhong will endure it directly, after all, although those toasts occupy a spacious area, most of the places they occupy are some wild places, poor mountains and bad waters, and they can't live at all, and what really makes Zhang Xianzhong angry is that the Ming army, which was originally defeated by them, and the Ming army, which was running away, suddenly became stronger, under the leadership of several Ming army generals, many officials sent by the Daxi Imperial Court, just arrived in the place, they were killed by these people, those soldiers are not many, but very important places, It was also occupied by these Ming troops, and for a while, the Onishi Imperial Court seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, full of urgent documents, and everywhere were places to be soldiers.
In the face of Zhang Xianzhong's anger, all the officials and generals of the Daxi regime did not dare to take a breath, although Zhang Xianzhong is not as easy to kill as the legend, but his temper is indeed real, as long as he is angry, no matter who you are, what status, the light one is scolded, and the heavy one is directly a horsewhip.
Seeing the silence in the room, an old man sitting at the front of the room had his eyebrows jumping, and then he said helplessly, "Your Majesty, about the surrender of the Tusi, it was originally a hurry, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has not really collapsed, even if it really falls, if you want these Tusi to completely return to the heart, it is not possible to achieve it in a short time, you know, the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the king of Shu pacified Sichuan, and it took decades before and after it was initially stabilized, therefore, please don't worry too much, Anyway, they can't do any harm to my Daxi, and now what we really have to take seriously is still those remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, if we let them mess around like this, we will be dragged down sooner or later, you know, after all, Sichuan is now our foundation, if Sichuan is in chaos, our Daxi will return to the past. ”
This old man is Wang Zhaolin, the left prime minister of the Daxi regime, is more than 60 years old this year, once in the Wanli Dynasty when he was the head of the household, but unfortunately in the last years of the Wanli Dynasty, because of the political struggle was relegated home, since then, more than 20 years have been idle at home, and then, when Zhang Xianzhong occupied Hunan, in order to save the life of the whole family, and took refuge in Zhang Xianzhong, although he was a little old, but Wang Zhaolin was still very talented, and soon got Zhang Xianzhong's approval, just like that, with the Ming Dynasty becoming more and more down, Originally, Wang Zhaolin, who had other different intentions, began a new allegiance to Zhang Xianzhong.
If you pay, you will gain, and sure enough, after Zhang Xianzhong founded the country, he canonized Wang Zhaolin as the left prime minister, which is at the head of the hundred officials.
Hearing Wang Zhaolin's words, Zhang Xianzhong's anger finally did not erupt, for Wang Zhaolin, Zhang Xianzhong still respected him, "Prime Minister Zuo's words are good, but we all know these things, I want to know now, how to completely eliminate them, at least to curb their momentum, and these are not what we are good at." "No wonder Zhang Xianzhong said this, the tricks used by the Ming army now are the ones he and Li Zicheng and other rebels have been using, but now their positions are reversed, Zhang Xianzhong, who has always only known destruction, now also knows the difficulty of defending it.
"Your Majesty, in fact, if you want to deal with Zeng Ying and these people, it's not that there is no way, it's just that this method takes a bit of time, but if you do it well, Zeng Ying and these people will be the end of the rats crossing the street, and there is no need to worry about it at all." Speaking is Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, since Zhang Xianzhong founded the country, he has all his four righteous sons to be sealed, Sun Kewang is the king of Pingdong, Liu Wenxiu is the king of Funan, Li Dingguo is the king of Anxi, Ai Nengqi is the king of Dingbei, and these four people are also Zhang Xianzhong's most loyal subordinates, and everyone is strong.
"Oh, there is a way to set the country, say it quickly, say it quickly, speak it, and my father-in-law will reward you heavily." Hearing Li Dingguo's words, Zhang Xianzhong immediately said happily.
"Your Majesty, in fact, Zeng Ying and the others don't have many troops, and they are only tens of thousands of people when they are full, and the reason why they can make us feel uncomfortable is because our foundation is too weak, so there are too many loopholes for them to exploit, according to the child, we actually only need to control some important places, and then let those unimportant places out, in this case, they want to attack us, but it is not so easy.
At the same time, we also have to quickly strengthen ourselves and slowly expand the scope of control, so that Zeng Ying and the others will be slowly weakened by us, and in the end, when we become stronger, even if they want to attack us, they will not have that chance. Li Dingguo said.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes (to be continued.) )
