In addition to the complicated official duties of resettling the victims, supervising the new-style martial arts examinations, and recruiting soldiers, Li Yuntian had two other things that he had to do, that is, to clean up unqualified officials in the prefectures and counties of Jiaozhi, and to severely punish the local people who had defected to the rebels.

In Li Yuntian's view, the reason why the situation of Jiaozhi has reached this point today is that the officials of various prefectures and counties cannot escape the blame, if they do their duty, the people of Jiaozhi will live a stable life, who will follow Li Li and others to rebel?

It's a pity that most of the officials in Jiaozhi are low-level, and there are very few officials like Luo Tong and He Zhong who are born in Jinshi, so those officials are no longer suitable to continue to be officials in Jiaozhi.

Therefore, Li Yuntian conducted an assessment of officials below the fifth grade of Jiaozhi to test their political achievements when they were officials in Jiaozhi, and those who did not meet the requirements would be dismissed from their posts and demoted to commoners.

The reason why Li Yuntian chose officials below the fifth rank was because Emperor Xuande gave him the power to appoint and dismiss officials below the fifth rank, so Li Yuntian had the power to dismiss officials below the fifth rank.

Although the fifth-rank officials seem to be small, the prefect of a prefecture is only the fourth grade, and there are only two or three officials in a prefecture who are above the fifth-grade rank.

This means that Li Yuntian is in control of the career fate of more than 95 percent of the officials in Jiaozhi, and the weight of his power is unprecedented.

Due to the war in Cochin, only half of the officials in the prefectures and prefectures of Cochin survived, and the other half died in the war.

After Li Yuntian's examination, only 20 percent of the remaining half of the officials were able to stay in office after the examination, and the examination results of the other officials were a mess, and some officials did not even know some of the most basic administrative affairs, nor did they know what they usually did.

Originally, Li Yuntian wanted to let those officials go, after all, the incident had happened, and the top priority was to quell the rebellion, but when he saw those miserable report cards, he couldn't help but be furious, and definitely taught those guys who were in a vegetarian position a lesson, so he punished a group of unlucky people in the name of dereliction of duty.

Li Yuntian vigorously promoted those officials who passed the guò examination and placed them in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Ming army, so as to assist the local prefects in handling local affairs.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also recruited officials from the various prefectures of Jiaozhi with great fanfare to maintain the operation of the local yamen, and made it clear that the salaries of those officials were issued by the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and their staffing was also under the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and they were no longer appointed by the yamen of each prefecture and county on their own.

Of course, those officials will become "liuguan" after the establishment is attributed to the Jiaozhi Political Envoy, and the Jiaozhi Political Envoy will arrange for them to be appointed to the corresponding prefecture and county according to the needs.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian also promulgated the system of salaries and promotions for officials, dividing officials into several grades like officials, and each time they are promoted, their salaries will be increased accordingly, and their powers will also be expanded.

Moreover, the officials who are excellent in government affairs will be promoted to the rank of official from the ninth rank by the Jiaozhi Political Envoy, and from then on they will step into the official career.

However, not everyone can become a clerk, and if you want to become a clerk, you must pass the relevant exams, and you can only become a clerk if you pass the exam.

In this way, Li Yuntiantong guò not only formed the system of officials in Jiaozhi, but also broke the power structure in Jiaozhi in one fell swoop.

Generally speaking, the local clansmen of the big clans often serve as officials in the local yamen, which makes the local power of the big clans more stable, but also breeds many problems, and Li Yuntian wants to cut off this close connection between the local clans and the yamen, so that the government can control the local situation.

In addition to punishing those unqualified officials, Li Yuntian also severely punished the natives who had defected to the rebels, mainly those who took the opportunity to burn, kill, and plunder, and severely punished those mobs as soon as their evil deeds were discovered.

In the darkness of Li Yuntian's busyness, the social situation in the Jiaozhi Prefecture under the control of the Ming army quickly stabilized, and agriculture and the economy began to recover, showing a thriving scene.

For the agricultural affairs of Jiaozhi, Li Yuntian brought a lot of brand-new farm tools from the interior and provided them to the villagers and disaster victims of Jiaozhi free of charge according to the number of adult males in each family, which made those villagers very happy, knowing that farm tools are the weapons they rely on for survival, and those good farm tools will enable them to grow better harvests.

What is particularly important is that in order to win the hearts and minds of the people of Jiaozhi, Li Yuntian did something that fundamentally changed the pattern of Jiaozhi's power, carried out a land reform with great fanfare, almost wiped out the original landlord class in Jiaozhi, and distributed their land to the people of Jiaozhi.

As soon as this move came out, Li Yuntian immediately won the support and support of the people in Jiaozhi, the land was the most important asset of the ancient society, and every common man wanted to have their own land, but unfortunately the land was occupied by those landlord classes, and Li Yuntian made them have the land.

Of course, Li Yuntian's move was immediately opposed by the Jiaozhi landlord class, which led to riots and riots in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ming army.

However, with the strong intervention of the Ming army such as Qin Kun and Han Wei, especially with the support of the local people in Jiaozhi, the Ming army smoothly quelled the riots and riots in various places, and arrested all the landlord classes who made trouble, or beheaded them on the spot, or sent them to Guangxi and Yunnan.

This is also why Qin Kun and Weiwei did not leave Jiaozhi for Guangxi until the end of March, and they swept away the events caused by the mainland landlords in the Ming army's territory in two or three months.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuntian did not brutally use force to force the landlords in Jiaozhi to submit, but confiscated their land and property on the charge of fornicating with the rebels.

In the beginning, the local government tried those landlords who had conclusively committed adultery with the rebels, but later, in order to mobilize the local people, Li Yuntian made a special stipulation that anyone who reported the meritorious work of the landlords for fornicating with the rebels would receive an extra share of the land when they divided the land in the future.

With the issuance of Li Yuntian's order, under his covert encouragement, a wave of accusations of local landlords fornicating with the rebels was immediately set off in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Ming army, and the local yamen immediately arrested those landlords.

It is undeniable that some landlords have been wronged, but they can only consider themselves unlucky, who let them hinder Li Yuntian's policy of completely quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion.

Li Yuntian opened up to those landlord networks that had no conclusive evidence, and did not kill them, but only sent them to Guangxi and Yunnan, and allowed them to migrate with their belongings.

At this point, Li Yuntian used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves in just a few months, uprooting the landlord class in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ming army, and distributing their land, real estate and property to the local people, which made his prestige in the eyes of the people of Jiaozhi rise sharply.

Since the land deeds and house deeds distributed by the people of Jiaozhi were issued by the political envoy of Jiaozhi, this virtually tied their fate to the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations called Li Yuntian's land reform in Jiaozhi "razing to control razing", that is, using the people of Jiaozhi to eradicate the local landlord class in Jiaozhi, and then won the support of those people.

In order to make the land reform of Jiaozhi proceed smoothly, Li Yuntian put Huang Fu, who was also the political envoy of Jiaozhi and the envoy in charge of Jiaozhi, to take full responsibility for this matter.

Huang Fu has practiced benevolent government in Jiaozhi for decades and has a high prestige among the people, and it is undoubtedly twice the result for him to promote the progress of this matter.

Speaking of which, Huang Fu's encounter in Jiaozhi can be described as nine deaths, when Liu Sheng's army was defeated, he fled with the Ming army, and led a group of sergeants to the north into the Guihua Zhili Prefecture adjacent to Yunnan, wanting to go to Yunnan through the Guihua Zhili Prefecture.

It's a pity that Huang Fu and his entourage were captured by the rebels shortly after entering the naturalized Zhili Prefecture, Huang Fu has the title of Zhan Shi of Zhan Mansion and the Ministry of Works, and is an out-and-out important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not want to fall into the hands of the rebels and be humiliated, so he wants to commit suicide and martyrdom like Chen Qia.

The general of the Jiaozhi rebels who captured Huang Fu recognized Huang Fu's identity, felt Huang Fu's past kindness, bowed down and cried and persuaded: "You are the parent official of Jiaozhi, if you hadn't left us at that time, we wouldn't have come to this point." ”

Subsequently, the rebel general released Huang Fu and others, and gave money and food, so that Huang Fu and his party finally arrived in Yunnan after going through hardships, Huang Fu met Mu Sheng in Kunming, and handed over all the money and property sent by the rebel general.

Originally, Huang Fu and Mu Sheng both thought that after Liu Sheng's defeat, Jiaozhi would undoubtedly be lost this time, because the imperial court could no longer organize a strong counterinsurgency force in a short period of time, and nine times out of ten they would abandon Jiaozhi.

But neither of them expected that Kunming City soon received the news that the imperial court had sent troops to quell the rebellion again, and the commander of the counterinsurgency army surprised the two of them, it turned out to be the newly promoted Zhenwu Uncle Li Yuntian, a young young descendant.

Since Li Yuntian was both the general army of Jiaozhi and the general army of Guangxi, considering the bad shape in Jiaozhi, Huang Fu thought that Li Yuntian would stay in Guilin City, the administrative office of the Guangxi Buzheng Division, to direct the Jiaozhi war, so he rushed to Guilin City after receiving the news of the Ming Dynasty's rebellion.

As a result, Huang Fu did not wait for Li Yuntian in Guilin City, but got the news that Li Yuntian had won two battles in succession in Sanjiang City, and was surprised to learn that Li Yuntian had already rushed to Jiaozhi from the waterway, so he hurried to Jiaozhi again.

But Huang Fu was still a step slower, and when he arrived in Sanjiang City, Li Yuntian was already in Qinghua City, and he didn't see Li Yuntian in Xin'an Mansion until February of the third year of Xuande.

Huang Fu was surprised by what had happened in the months since Li Yuntian came to Jiaozhi, Liu Sheng's 120,000 army failed to stop Li Li, and Li Yuntian could be said to have single-handedly forced Li Li to withdraw his troops from Anliang County, and then reversed the disadvantage of the Ming army in Jiaozhi in one fell swoop, which seemed to him to be incredible.

What was especially unimaginable to Huang Fu was that Li Li did not take the opportunity to attack the Ming army's defense area before the arrival of the main force of the Xiaowu Army, but chose to stick to Jiaozhou City, which made him completely unable to understand Li Li's intentions.

However, the current shape of Jiaozhi was beneficial to the Ming army, and the affairs within the jurisdiction of the Ming army were complicated, Huang Fu did not care about Li Li's intentions, and immediately devoted himself to dealing with the complicated affairs at hand.

In the busyness of officials at all levels in Jiaozhi, the shape of the Ming army in the area under its jurisdiction was able to improve rapidly, and gradually showed a thriving scene, which made Li Yuntian quite gratified
