(Sorry, there's something out of the place, the update is late)

Although Li Yuntian wanted to use the power of the toast to deal with the rebels and the mob, he was not a murderer after all, and before giving orders to the toasts, he couldn't help but add two more restrictions.

Among these two restrictions, one is to clarify that the areas where the Tusi cleared up the rebels and civil unrest must be demarcated by the government, and they are usually bandits or mobs gathering places, and they are not allowed to cross the area without authorization, otherwise all the rewards will be cancelled.

Second, in the process of purging and suppressing, women and children must not be killed without authorization, and if one case is discovered, two taels of silver will be deducted, and the murderer will be severely punished.

Under Li Yuntian's heavy reward, the toasts of Xuanhua Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion all flocked to it, and no one wanted to let go of such a good opportunity to make a fortune.

At this moment, no Tusi will think that the Ming will lose this war with the rebels, although the rebels now have an advantage in the Jiaozhi battlefield, but the Ming is the upper country of the Heavenly Empire, is it not Jiaozhi These rebels can compare?

In the several rebellions that broke out in front of Jiaozhi, all of them were exterminated by the army sent by the Ming Dynasty, so in the eyes of the Tusi, the Jiaozhi rebels could not escape the bad luck of destruction, and they naturally had to respond to the government's notice to clear the rebels and mobs, and no one wanted to watch the silver slip away.

Moreover, why not raid the rebels and mobs at the same time as the raids?

With the issuance of Li Yuntian's official document on the suppression of the rebellion, the Tusi of Xuanhua Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture sent their own troops one after another, and under the guidance of the government, they went to clear out the gathering places of rebels and mobs, and it took only one month to completely quell the banditry and civil unrest in the two places, and the rebels operating in the two places were driven out.

According to the statistics of the government, more than 50,000 rebels and mobs were exterminated in Xuanhua Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, including more than 10,000 rebels and mobs, and more than 30,000 rebels and mobs captured.

Li Yuntian did not interrogate the captured rebels and mobs, it no longer matters whether these people were wronged by the Tusi, but the important thing is that Li Yuntian can take advantage of the situation to move them to the inland areas of Guangxi, which invisibly weakens the base of the rebels and promotes ethnic integration in Jiaozhi and Guangxi.

Due to the large number of rebels and mobs captured, the Tusi of Xuanhua Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture were originally worried that the government would repay their debts and even deduct from them.

However, the fact is not as those Tusi thought, after the people of the government counted the number of rebels and mobs captured and killed by the Tusi, they immediately gave them a corresponding bounty, so that the Tusi of the two prefectures really made a windfall and made a lot of money.

After this incident, the toasts of Xuanhua Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion had a good impression of Li Yuntian, who was trustworthy and trustworthy, and established Li Yuntian's image of integrity in the minds of these toasts in one fell swoop.

In Li Yuntian's view, the rebels and mobs in Xuanhua Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion were very easy to deal with, and as long as they used money to win over the Tusi of the two places, they could exterminate those rebels and mobs.

The biggest threat he faced now was the rebels from Jiaozhou, and Li Li sent 10,000 rebels to follow behind Wang Tong's Beigui army to take over the towns along the way.

When Wang Tong stopped in Sanjiang City, the rebels who followed did not act rashly, but stationed in a county town closest to Sanjiang City and waited for changes.

Before Li Yuntian came to Jiaozhi, Li Li already knew that Emperor Xuande had issued an edict to let Li Yuntian quell the rebellion, and when he first entered Jiaozhou City, the messenger sent by Sanjiang Mansion to deliver the official document of the imperial court to Wang Tong to quell the rebellion again was captured by the rebels in Jiaozhou Mansion, and the official document was delivered to him.

Li Li never thought that Emperor Xuande would make such a choice, he thought that Emperor Xuande would push the boat down the river to end the war in Jiaozhi, and he couldn't help but feel a headache after being stunned: the Ming Dynasty has a million heroes, and there are two capitals and thirteen provinces as a support, if the war continues, it will be very unfavorable to him, and the consumption alone can consume the counterinsurgency army to death.

However, when he learned that Zhen Wubo, who led the army to quell the rebellion, was a close confidant of Emperor Xuande, not only a young man in his twenties but also a civilian official, the corners of Li Li's mouth suddenly showed a contemptuous smile, he didn't think that a hairy boy was his opponent.

Jiaozhou City is the most important city in Jiaozhi, the military town in the north of Jiaozhi, and it is also the fortress that the Ming army relies on.

Li Li believed that as long as he defeated Li Yuntian this time, then Emperor Xuande would definitely agree to canonize Chen Wei as the king of Annam, and the entire Jiaozhi would become his world.

For this reason, Li Li began to dispatch troops and generals, preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the area controlled by the Ming army, and occupy the entire Jiaozhi before Li Yuntian rushed to Jiaozhi, which was not only to give Li Yuntian a dismount, but also to create trouble for Li Yuntian to attack Jiaozhi.

According to the current situation in Jiaozhi, Li Li was confident that before Li Yuntian rushed to Jiaozhi, he would capture those state capitals controlled by the Ming army, and Wang Tong and Liu Sheng had walked from the capital to Jiaozhi for four or five months, and Li Yuntian was obviously not much faster.

Now Wang Tong led the army to withdraw from Jiaozhou City, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Ming army in Jiaozhi, so as long as Li Li was given three or four months, he was sure to defeat the disheartened Ming army.

However, a few days later, Li Li got a strange news that shocked him, that is, Li Yuntian unexpectedly appeared in Sanjiang City.

Because it was hard to believe this, Li Li's first reaction was that this was a trick by the Ming army, and it was impossible for Li Yuntian to come to Jiaozhi so quickly.

Almost at the same time, the rebels' spies in Xuanhua City sent back the news that they saw Li Yuntian enter Xuanhua City and open the Xuanhua granary to release grain for relief.

At this moment, Li Li had to believe the unbelievable fact in front of him, the Xuanhua granary was not under the jurisdiction of the Third Division of Jiaozhi, and no one had the right to call it except for the household department and the general army of Jiaozhi.

And Jiaozhi commander-in-chief Liu Sheng has been killed in battle, the former Jiaozhi commander-in-chief Wang Tong and Chen Zhi are trapped in Jiaozhou City, even if the household department issued an official document to open a warehouse, then it is also under the Jiaozhi political envoy, Xuanhua Mansion has no right to open a warehouse, otherwise it is an encroachment, after all, the Xuanhua granary is to supply the entire Jiaozhi, not just to supply Xuanhua Mansion.

For Li Yuntian, who suddenly appeared, Li Li had to pay attention to it, because the spies reported that Li Yuntian had brought 100,000 Xiaowu troops to Jiaozhi this time, which meant that those Xiaowu troops would arrive in Jiaozhi in a few months.

Because of the remoteness of Jiaozhi and the chaotic situation of the war, Li Li did not know about the Xiaowu Army, but compared with the previous two counterinsurgency armies, this time the counterinsurgency army actually had the name of "Xiaowu Army", which really attracted his attention.

So, Li Li asked people to investigate, and then learned that the Xiaowu army had put down the rebellion of the Han King last year.

After quelling the rebellion of the Han King, with the approval of Emperor Xuande, the imperial court deliberately publicized the achievements of the Xiaowu army, and the news released to the outside world was full of exaggerated words, which naturally made Li Li think that the Xiaowu army that came to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion this time was the elite of the Ming army, and it was probably more difficult to deal with than the army led by Liu Sheng.

As for how many people there are in the Xiaowu Army, not to mention Li Li, even those civil and military officials in the capital, there are very few people who know, and Da Ming has the ability to form a 100,000 Xiaowu army, Li Li certainly does not suspect that Li Yuntian will cheat on the number of Xiaowu troops.

Facing the menacing Li Yuntian, Li Li's heart was very entangled, he was worried that he would not be able to deal with the upcoming Xiaowu army, and he was also worried that he would anger Emperor Xuande after defeating the Xiaowu army.

The reason why the rebels were able to defeat Liu Sheng and achieve a big defeat last time was because of Liu Sheng's carelessness.

As a veteran who once followed Zhang Fu to fight against Jiaozhi, Liu Sheng did not take the rebels into account at all, and marched alone, coupled with the fact that the counterinsurgency army was not adapted to the climate and terrain of Jiaozhi, as well as the water and soil adaptation, and disease troubles, which finally contributed to the defeat of the Ming army.

Otherwise, if they had done a game with open swords and guns, those entrenched in Jiaozhi would have been the opponents of the Ming army, and they would have been beaten down by the Ming army.

Due to Li Yuntian's appearance, Li Li had to adjust his strategic deployment and began to collect troops to prepare power against Li Yuntian in Sanjiang City.

Obviously, Li Yuntian's value is far greater than those cities controlled by the Ming army, as long as he can force Li Yuntian to surrender, or capture Li Yuntian alive, then the morale of the Ming army will be deeply damaged, and it will also become an important bargaining chip for him to negotiate with the imperial court.

Under Li Li's mobilization, 20,000 rebels came to Anliang County, which was more than 80 miles away from Sanjiang City, and merged with the 10,000 rebels who had previously followed Wang Tong's return to the north, waiting for Li Li's next order.

At the same time, Li Yuntian was also seizing the time to deploy the defense of Sanjiang City, the original defenders of Sanjiang City were about 10,000, plus more than 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by Wang Tong from Jiaozhou City, and 5,000 people brought by Li Yuntian, the total strength was about 50,000.

It seems that there are a lot of Ming troops in Sanjiang City, but the soldiers do not dare to compliment, and the old, weak, sick and disabled abound.

Sanjiangwei commanded the envoy Si Yamen, who originally had only more than 3,000 people, but later recruited 1,000 troops from military households and forcibly recruited more than 5,000 people from the local government.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of Sanjiangwei's 4,000 soldiers, in Li Yuntian's opinion, the 5,000 people who were forcibly recruited were completely a rabble, and they could not fight at all except for the number of people on the city wall, otherwise there would inevitably be a rout.

As for the 30,000 troops led by Wang Tong, in addition to the local troops in Jiaozhi, 10,000 were the Beijing troops who came with him to quell the rebellion, which can be said to be the strongest army in Jiaozhi now, otherwise it would not have survived until now.

After Li Li defeated Liu Sheng's army and ambushed Mu Sheng's army, he immediately mobilized troops to besiege Jiaozhou City, he once tried to attack Jiaozhou City, but met with stubborn resistance from the Ming army in the city, and the rebels lacked siege equipment and experience, and could not do anything in the face of this kind of city with high walls and thick walls.

During the siege of the city, the surviving Beijing army once took the initiative to attack, and defeated the 20,000 rebels in the west of the city in one fell swoop.

This made Li Li dare not force the siege again, so he changed the attack to defense and besieged it.

Wang Tong was taken aback by the rebels' attack on the city, and even Mu Sheng was defeated, so he gave up the idea of holding on and started the idea of making peace with Li Li.

Therefore, although the Ming army in Sanjiang City had 50,000 people, in Li Yuntian's opinion, the number of troops that could be used to fight was only 20,000: 10,000 Jing troops, 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 native soldiers he brought from Xuanhua Prefecture, and 5,000 strong men selected from the remaining Ming army.!^!
