Chongzhen asked, "What does Yang Qing mean by killing them all?" ”

Yang Weizhi said: "It is not necessary to kill them all, you can be sent to the silver mine to serve labor." ”

Chongzhen said: "The silver mine doesn't need so many people, right? That's nearly 100,000 people. ”

Yang Weizhi pondered for a moment and then said: "The Holy Lord can ask the governor of Guangxi to bring the wives and children of these 100,000 wolf soldiers to Yunnan, and then organize them into households and people, and stay in Yunnan for the people!" ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen almost applauded loudly.

Because Yang Weizhi thought of going with him.

Organizing households and people, resettlement in other places is the best solution to deal with these 100,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers.

If they are allowed to return to Guangxi, they will definitely not be allowed to return to Guangxi, and if they are really allowed to return to Guangxi, they will rebel in minutes, and 100,000 wolf soldiers will rebel together, it will really not be a joke.

It's even worse to kill them all, because population is the most valuable resource.

In particular, the Ming Dynasty is about to usher in the industrial revolution, once the industry has a leapfrog development, the demand for hired labor will increase dramatically, how can 100,000 strong men kill it?

Therefore, they must be left in Yunnan.

Why keep them in Yunnan instead of other provinces?

The reason is also very simple, because these Guangxi wolf soldiers have done too much murder in Yunnan, if they want to escape back to Guangxi, they must leave the place of household registration, they have to pass through the territory of the Yunnan natives, this is to find death, the natives of Lin'an and Guangxi will use firewood knives and hoes to educate them, and the way to absconding is not passable.

It is even more tricky to move the families of these wolf soldiers to Yunnan.

Because in this way, these 100,000 wolf soldiers have bonds, and it is more difficult to abscond.

Yang Weizhi's words seemed to open up the work ideas of Yunnan officials, and Wang Xiyan suddenly got up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister also has a suggestion. ”

Chongzhen shook his hand and said, "Wang Aiqing, please speak." ”

Wang Xigon said: "Holy Lord, the minister suggested taking this opportunity to forcibly promote the reform of the land and return to the river in Yunnan, abolish the Tusi system, and at the same time cancel the distinction between Han and the land, and treat the Han people equally. ”

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Yang Weizhi said, "There are clouds in the spring and autumn period, and those who are Diyi and Huaxia are Huaxia; Once the land is changed and returned, it will not be divided into the people of the Han Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of China, and they should be treated equally, and there can be no more distinction between the people and the Han, and the hatred of the ethnic groups will be created to check and balance. ”

Distinguishing the Tuhan people and creating ethnic hatred is the Mu family's strategy for governing Yunnan.

If it weren't for this, a three-foot exploitation like the Mu family would not last for two hundred years.

It is actually beneficial for the magistrates to create antagonism between the Turks and the Hans, because the Turks are busy with vendettas, and they forget the malicious exploitation of them by the rulers, but it is harmful to the country, because this is an internal friction, which will seriously weaken the potential and resources of a country.

For the country, assimilation is the right way.

Tang Zhaoyuan also said: "Shengshang, but also to promote righteousness, all the people of Yunnan, regardless of the Turks, children can be enrolled, so that within two generations, there will be no local people in Yunnan, and there will be no disaster of toast." ”

This is even more powerful, not only to eliminate ethnic divisions, but also to unify culture.

Chongzhen felt a little emotionally in his heart, it turned out that the ancients had thought of these measures a long time ago.

At that moment, Chongzhen moved his mind, should he make a suggestion to the cabinet to set up a new governor of the southwest, with jurisdiction over the four provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and another governor of the military affairs of the four provinces, responsible for the southwest town?

And Wang Xigon is undoubtedly the best candidate for the first governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Qianchuan.

As for Yang Weizhi, he is the best candidate for the governor of Southwest Zhentai, and he is it.

At this time, Wu Wenying got up and said: "Holy Lord, if you really organize the Guangxi wolf soldiers into a household and leave them in Yunnan, and bring their wives and children to reunite, it will be too cheap for them, right?" ”

Tang Zhaoyuan also said: "These wolf soldiers should be severely punished. ”

"It's easy to hear." Wang Xigon said, "You can levy a heavy tax on 100,000 wolf soldiers, and pay 50% of the land rent for the first five years, and then decrease it by 10% year by year, until it is the same as the other households." ”

"But, just follow this method." Chongzhen also said, "Except for the native soldiers of Amiszhou and Mengzi Tusi, the native soldiers of all other Tusi are all in accordance with this law. ”

The 30,000 native soldiers of the two Tusi in Mengzi and Ami Prefecture must serve in hard labor.

Let the local soldiers of these two divisions go to the silver mines of Dali and Dongchuan Mansion to mine silver.

Tang Zhaoyuan asked: "The meaning of the Holy Lord is to divide the farmland under the name of the Qianguo Mansion with the wolf soldiers of Guangxi and the local soldiers who make trouble in the Tusi for cultivation, and impose heavy taxes?" But the soldiers and natives who did not participate in the war did not need to be heavily taxed, and only had to pay official taxes according to the usual practice? ”

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded and said, "Each mu of official land is taxed five liters of three in five spoons." ”

"Holy Heaven." Tang Zhaoyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, this time, he was much better as the governor of Yunnan.

"Holy Heaven." Wang Xigon, Yang Weizhi and other Yunnan civil and military officers also knelt on the ground and sang praises.

Chongzhen said again: "But there is one thing, 100,000 wolf soldiers and 120,000 combat native soldiers, this field is not given to them for farming, but there are conditions, that is, when the imperial court needs to use soldiers, these wolf soldiers have the obligation to recruit for the expedition, so when the farming is slack, it is necessary to concentrate on drills, and I will leave the scholars to be responsible." ”

is also a town soldier, and the town soldiers in Yunnan do not have the treatment of the town soldiers of Xuzhou and Guide for the time being.

Because the town soldiers in Guide and Xuzhou do not need to pay taxes, but the town soldiers in Yunnan do not need to pay taxes.

First, because most of the town soldiers in Yunnan have made mistakes, and second, because there is not enough land in Yunnan, if these town soldiers are directly exempted from the grain tax, Yunnan's tax revenue will be much less, which is not good.

However, when there is more arable land in Yunnan in the future, it can be exempted.

There are only more than 3 million mu of cultivated land in Yunnan, and the potential for reclamation is very great, because Chongzhen vaguely remembers that there are nearly 10 million mu of paddy fields in Yunnan in later generations.

If dryland is included, there are at least more than 40 million acres of arable land.

At that time, it would be no problem to give 5 million acres of arable land to the town soldiers.

"It's no problem to be recruited." Tang Zhaoyuan said.

Wu Wenying and other officials also echoed one after another, after all, they had to apply before.

Chongzhen said again: "Tang Zhaoyuan, this matter will be handed over to your governor's office to handle, first clear the acres of land, you listen well, only the cultivated land under the name of the Qianguo Mansion and the Tusi will be fined, and the acres of land of the local gentry and the common people will only be cleared and not confiscated, and then the total number of wolf soldiers, native soldiers and Tumin Han people, according to the mouth of the land, if any Tusi dares to obstruct, immediately report to me, I will send a new army to persuade these Tusi to obey the law." ”

"Minister, Commander." Tang Zhaoyuan left with a group of officials from the Governor's Office.

At this moment, Xu Yingwei suddenly hurried in again: "Shengshang, something happened, the minister just accidentally learned that it was not only thirteen Tusi who followed Sha Dingzhou to rebel, but fourteen!" ”

"Fourteen?" Chongzhen said, "What other toast?" ”

"There's also a Xiwu Stone Cave Division." Xu Yingwei said, "On the order of Sha Dingzhou, we have gone deep into Guizhou to attack our baggage transportation channel, and if nothing else, this should go to Qianzhong." ”

"Huh?" Yan Yingyuan, Huaxia, Wang Fuzhi and other scholars suddenly changed their faces.

Although the overall situation of Yunnan has now been decided, the caravans of the Wang and Hu families are still continuously transporting grain to Pu'an Prefecture on the official road in Qianzhong, and the caravans of the two families are only protected by 3,000 white pole soldiers and female barracks.

At that moment, Yan Yingyuan said: "Holy Lord, the minister is willing to lead the new army to return to help quickly. ”

Hu Guozhu also asked for battle: "Shengshang, the new army is too slow, let's let the ministers lead the cavalry back to help." ”

Chongzhen said: "It's just that the cavalry is not enough, the new army will also go, Hu Guozhu, you lead the cavalry to go first, Yan Yingyuan, you lead the three thousand new troops to follow up, and you must ensure the safety of the two caravans of Wang and Hu!" ”

There are about 500,000 stone of grain left in the two caravans, and this batch of grain cannot be accidental.

If there were no 500,000 stone of grain, the 100,000 wolf soldiers and the 120,000 Yunnan native soldiers who had surrendered would be hungry.

For the sake of the overall situation of Yunnan, this batch of grain must not have an accident.

At that moment, Hu Guozhu and Yan Yingyuan each raised troops and horses to return to Guizhou.

Hu Guozhu was especially excited, he finally got the opportunity to lead the troops alone.

……

At this time, it was in the territory of Yongning Prefecture in Qianzhong.

Wang Pingshan, with a horse team of 2,000 mules and horses, was transporting grain to Pu'an Prefecture.

I saw that the mules, horses and donkeys were carrying heavy sacks on their backs, and the sacks on the back of mules and horses were three or four hundred catties, and the sacks on the donkey's backs were also two or three hundred catties.

If the ground is flat, this load is nothing to the animals.

However, the official road in Qianzhong is mountainous, not only rugged but also steep, so it is very laborious for the livestock to walk, and if you are not careful, you will roll down the abyss outside the road.

Wang Pingshan also sighed, this single transaction is really not easy to do.

Today, the two caravans of Wang Hu have been delayed for nearly a month, and there is no hope of making a profit, I only hope that the saint can fine less money so that the two of them will not lose too much.

Otherwise, the two of them might really go bankrupt because of this.

Even so, Wang Pingshan still had to cheer up the caravan.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up, and strive to go to Chacheng Post to rest before evening." Wang Pingshan said as he walked, "When you arrive at Chachengyi, I will invite you to have a good meal, a big bowl of mutton soup per person, and enough steamed cakes!" ”

"Guys, did you hear that, the young owner is going to wait for us to eat haggis soup." The stewards shouted.

The hundreds of guys who were sweating profusely cheered one after another, thinking that they could go to Chachengyi earlier, have a beautiful meal, soak their feet and sleep well, these days are really tired.

At this moment, the sound of a bull's horn suddenly sounded in the valley ahead.

"Young owner, there is the sound of bullhorns!" A steward said nervously, "Tu Bing! ”

Wang Pingshan said: "There are two toasts nearby, the Dingying Division and the Mushi Division, both of which are mature seedlings and have always been friendly to past merchants, so they are definitely not Tusi soldiers!" ”
