Cen Zhang is one of the largest local officials in Guangxi, and his prestige is unparalleled, Duan Fei took advantage of this opportunity to suppress the rebellion, and asked to carry out land reform and return to the river in the whole Yao area, which is also the most fierce dispute between the two.

In fact, the resistance to changing the land is unimaginable, the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years, and even the Republic of China, have not been able to completely eliminate the entrenched power of the Tusi, resulting in the minority areas have been in an extremely backward state, Duan Fei tried to make some attempts in this, maybe he can slightly change this thousand-year-old problem.

Cen Zhang really refused to give in at all in this regard, he only promised that after Cen Meng's death, Cen Meng's territory would be handed over to the officials sent by the imperial court to govern, and he insisted on other places, and he would never let it!

Duan Fei had already anticipated the difficulty of changing the land and returning to the stream, and seeing that Cen Zhang did not give in, he smiled slightly and said: "Lord Cen, you have made concessions on the issue of Cen Meng, and this official may wish to make some concessions in changing the land and returning to the stream, so as to reflect the tolerance and generosity of the imperial court, in this way, the core of the official's suggestion to change the land and return to the stream is revised to govern the native people with the native people, and the liuguan sent by the imperial court to various places are only responsible for public security and education, accept the place where the land is changed and returned to the stream, cancel the tax for ten years, and if there are any civil disputes, they will be handled according to local practices. The local officials have the same term limit as the Han officials, with a term of four years, elected by the local people, and then appointed by the imperial court, and the local officials are responsible for supervising the fair ...... of the selection."

What Duan Fei said had been practiced on Paradise Island before, but now the situation was more complicated, and he added or deleted some things at Gou Dongtao's suggestion, and the things he came up with were more similar to the situation in the ethnic autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures, and autonomous counties in later generations.

Having said that, the loss of military power and taxing power was still not acceptable to any Tusi, and the negotiations reached an impasse again, Duan Fei did not waste time, he directly asked Cen Zhang to go back to talk to the other Yao leaders, and walked away by himself.

On the third day of negotiations, Duan Fei found that Cen Zhang's head had a lot more gray hair, and his expression was much haggard, and the two big men who followed him were also replaced by two middle-aged people.

Cen Zhang introduced on his behalf, those two people are indeed the leaders of the Yao people, Cen Zhang brought them out today, it must be because the situation is no longer out of his control, the method proposed by Duan Fei can make more Yao people become officials, can those Yao village leaders who have no hope of becoming Tusi for the rest of their lives not be moved? These people can also gather into a huge force when united, and Cen Zhang's regression is showing their strength.

With the participation of these two people, the negotiation really went much smoother, Duan Fei promised that the Tusi who first promised to change the land and return to the stream could continue to be appointed as the local local official immediately, and there was a default selection preference for the hereditary three generations, and for the first batch of places that changed the land and returned to the stream, the imperial court also had another large amount of silver allocated to support the development, and where the land was not changed and returned to the stream, the court would confiscate his property and move his family to the mainland, etc.

Many of the terms put forward by Duan Fei are unbelievable, without Zhengde's approval, but Duan Fei is on the orders of Qincha, and he has a certain amount of decision-making power in his hands, and he will not be subject to the military and civilians abroad, once the land change is successful, the effect will come out, Zhengde will only appreciate Duan Fei's decision, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have nothing to say, which dares not to open his eyes to find fault, Duan Fei has many means to deal with him.

Cen Zhang and the two Yao leaders argued fiercely on the spot, Duan Fei sat firmly on the top of the mountain and watched the tiger fight, the bait had been thrown, and the big fish was about to be hooked, and he was very sure in his heart.

After the negotiation entered the fourth day, the other party's negotiators proposed to increase the number of negotiators, Duan Fei agreed to their request, and they also added a few people, Gou Dongtao knew Duan Fei's thoughts best, and the person in charge of the negotiation became him, Duan Fei was only responsible for the final decision, after a whole day of negotiations, the method of changing the land and returning to the stream was finally determined, and the court represented by Duan Fei was a great success.

The other conditions are insignificant compared to the return of the land, and the Yao side seems to have exhausted all their patience, and even the military, government, and finance, which are concerned about their own interests, have made such big concessions, what else is there to be verbose? As a result, issues such as checking household registration, measuring land, increasing the number of prefectures and counties, building cities, setting up schools, and the need for the children of the Yao people to receive free education for the Han people were successfully passed.

What can force Cen Zhang and them to make such a big concession is the grain and grass crisis, Duan Fei received the news early, Shen Xiyi and Jiao Xu were haunted behind enemy lines, burning several granaries in a row, Cen Zhang, if they don't make a decision, their army will collapse, and if the officers and soldiers chase after them, they will be out of control, and when they still have a little power to speak, try to fight for their own interests, this is Cen Zhang's smartest decision.

Cen Zhang did exactly this, under the general trend, he became the first batch of local officials who were willing to hand over the seal letter and be re-appointed by Duan Fei, everyone met on the fifth day, Cen Zhang and others took Cen Meng and other culprits, entered the city to hand over the seal, and at the same time accepted the reappointment of the Lord Qincha on behalf of the Zhengde Emperor.

After the news spread, inside and outside the city, whether it was officers and soldiers or rebels, they were all jubilant, that night Duan Fei ordered people to send a batch of food to the rebel camp, in exchange for the 20,000 prisoners, they were not abused, but because of the lack of food, so they have been hungry for two days, Duan Fei arranged for them to have a full meal, the problem of insufficient food has now become the top priority for Duan Fei to solve.

Duan Fei urgently sent people to Guilin to ask for food, and at the same time arranged boats and bamboo rafts to send the soldiers to Wuzhou in batches, where there was enough food, but because of the countercurrent, it was more difficult to send them to Liuzhou, and it was much easier to send people down the river to eat.

Duan Fei also ordered someone to contact Shen Xiyi and Jiao Xu's contacts arranged nearby, and ordered them to suspend the harassment and wait for news from Liuzhou.

After a busy night, Duan Fei still arranged the ceremony with great energy, preparing to accept the submission of the Yao officials led by Cen Zhang.

Time seemed to slow down, and finally waited until the end of the day, there was movement in the camp opposite, and the Yao local officials led by Cen Zhang walked towards Liuzhou with a white flag, and the number of people Duan Fei allowed them to enter the city was only two hundred, and these two hundred people also included Cen Meng and other criminals, so Duan Fei was not worried that these two hundred people could make trouble in Liuzhou.

In fact, everything went well, Cen Zhang first handed over Cen Meng and other culprits to Duan Fei, Cen Meng was lying in a coma on a door panel, he desperately competed with Duan Fei that day, not to mention overdrawing his life, the meridians of his whole body were injured by Duan Fei, and he woke up that night and only said one word, asking someone to invite Cen Zhang to preside over the overall situation, and he has not woken up for the second time.

Duan Fei ordered Cen Meng and the others to be escorted down, and personally asked Lingyu for a healing elixir for Cen Meng to take, and then asked Cen Zhang and the others to go to the Liuzhou Mansion.

Duan Fei was talking to Cen Zhang along the way, and suddenly a girl's voice sounded behind him: "Lord Duan, can you return the magic card you stole to me?" ”
