Chapter 507: East of the Ganges
"Withdraw to Lasa after the whole army!" Years old
Seeing that tens of thousands of horses and infantry did not rush into the Ming army's formation, Phuntsok Namgyal decisively ordered a retreat.
Although the former army structure has been chaotic, fortunately, the Chinese army has not been attacked, and the Tibetan army has been deflated and has begun to retreat continuously.
But they were pursued not by cavalrymen with arquebuses, nor by cavalry with flintlock muskets, but by cavalry with breech-loading guns.
They were harvested from a distance by the Ming cavalry using breech guns, and the whole army of tens of thousands of horse teams and horse infantry was annihilated.
"Bang bang bang-"
The crisp sound of gunfire and the hooves of the cavalry constantly sounded in the rear, and each time the gun rang out, some nobles around Phuntsok Namgyal couldn't help but shudder for a while.
These fellows, who had been clamoring to defend their interests a quarter of an hour ago, were now like turtles with shrunken heads, and none of them dared to stand up and speak for a counterattack, but all of them ran in the direction of Lhasa like ostriches. Years old
Phuntsok Namgyal looked at the Chinese army and knew very well in his heart that if he continued to run like this, the retreat would turn into a rout, and once they were defeated, the butcher's knife of the Ming army could be wielded above their heads wantonly.
"When people are dead, it's hard to negotiate......"
Looking at the situation around him, Phuntsok Nanjia knew in his heart that once the soldiers were exhausted, it was estimated that the Ming Dynasty promised that there would be no more relocation, dispersion, and vain, and at present, as long as they stabilized their positions, they might be able to negotiate with Sun Chuanting.
Thinking of this, Phuntsok Nam Gyalma shouted to the surrounding nobles:
"Don't be afraid, don't run! Can't run! ”
"Let your men be the overseers, and let the army hold its ground!"
"Quick!" Years old
The nobles were yelled at by Phuntsok Namgyal, and then they reacted, and hurriedly commanded the guards to act as the overseers, trying to stop the Chinese army that was about to collapse.
"Run, ......"
"Don't run! The whole family of the escapees sits! ”
"Bang bang bang-"
In the valley, all kinds of shouts merged.
The generals of the Tibetan army, they pinned their hopes on the army to calm down in time.
If it was for the army that had been defeated, their actions would naturally be useless, but fortunately, the Chinese army had not collapsed, and after slashing and killing hundreds of deserters, the Chinese army finally stabilized its position, and the slaves in the rear were also calmed down after being cut by the warlords. Years old
Regardless of the ethnic group, there is no shortage of traditional elites among them, so they are also trying their best to save the situation.
"Can't run anymore! Hold your ground, if you run again, you won't even have a chance to surrender. ”
Compared with the Jin army and the Ming army, the Tibetan army is in line with the army of the East Asian battlefield in this era, that is, once the casualties exceed two achievements, it will collapse.
Phuntsok Namgyal knew he couldn't defeat the Ming army, but he wasn't going to give up when he still had a choice.
He pulled out his waist knife and slashed several of the routs before stopping the rout.
The remaining Tibetan soldiers also rejoined the queue in trepidation, and although they were still afraid, they also knew that they had no way out.
In contrast to the chaos of the Tibetan army, the Ming army was like a sophisticated machine. Years old
After discovering that the Tibetan army had stabilized its position, the pursuing Ming cavalry immediately retreated quickly and waited for the arrival of the rear army.
At the same time, Phuntsok Namgyal also put the long knife back into its sheath and looked at the dozens of pale nobles with an ugly face.
"The elite has been lost, even if it is stubborn, it is useless."
"Now while we still have enough soldiers and horses, maybe we can try to negotiate with the Ming army, it is better to give up slaves and land than to die!"
Phuntsok Namgyal's calculations were very loud, he always wanted to surrender, but he couldn't stand the unwillingness of the nobles below.
But now that the arrogance of the nobles has been frightened, then it is time to offer surrender.
"This ...... Can Ming Jun agree? "Aged
Unlike the modern theocratic and religious regimes, the Tibetan aristocracy and religion in the Ming Dynasty were not so closely linked, and they only fought for their own interests.
When they found that they couldn't beat it, they began to weigh it.
In the face of death, the interests seem insignificant, not to mention that the Ming army did not compensate them, but they were unwilling to do so, thinking that the compensation was too little.
But now, tens of thousands of corpses have been left on the roads of the river valley, and after the loss of the elite, they have no choice but to surrender.
Judging from the number of artillery of the Ming army, the walls of Lhasa and Sanzhujie could not be stopped.
"I personally talked to the Ming army."
Phuntsok Namgyal appeased the nobles and immediately came up with his own idea, after all, he could speak Chinese. Years old
His actions like this undoubtedly made the stones in the hearts of the nobles fall to the ground.
They were most worried that Phuntsok Namgyal would let them go to the negotiations, and who knew if the Ming army would go crazy and kill them all.
"You take someone to tell the Ming army that we want to negotiate with them."
Phuntsok Namgyal appointed one of his own generals, who was not timid, and when he heard Phuntsok Namgyal's order, he rode his horse in the direction of the Ming army.
In order to show his sincerity, he held the banner of the Zangba Dynasty, did not carry soldiers and horses, and rushed towards the Ming army alone.
Some Ming soldiers raised their guns, but were stopped.
In this way, he held the banner and said to the Ming army in Tubo: "The Great Khan hopes to talk to the Celestial Empire alone." "Aged
There are many Tubo people in the Duogan camp, and he is not afraid that the other party will not understand: "Wait a minute! ”
A general responded, turning his head and asking someone to inform Sun Chuanting.
A group of Tang cavalry rushed out of the Ming army's formation and rushed to the rear.
In just a quarter of an hour, Sun Chuanting got the news from the front, and he probably guessed Phuntsok Namgyal's intentions.
"This Phuntsok Namgyal should be surrendering." Sun Chuanting tidied up the hem of his clothes, and Zhou Wei next to him also persuaded when he saw this:
"If they are willing to follow the rules, they may be able to negotiate peace, but after all, there is a battle, and they can be deprived of their positions, and it is enough to give them loose ranks."
"Well......" Sun Chuanting's thoughts are similar to Zhou Yi's, after all, Zhu Youzhen still needs the Tubo people to assimilate the Western Regions, and it is not beneficial for them to kill all the Tubo people. Years old
"Tell Phuntsok Namgyal to let him come and see me himself."
Sun Chuanting gave orders to the Tang cavalry, and the team hurriedly returned the salute, and then rode the horse to give the order.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, Sun Chuanting saw a Tibetan nobleman who had followed Tang on horseback.
They came to the front of the position, and along the way Phuntsok Namgyal saw countless corpses of Tibetan soldiers, which strengthened his idea of surrender.
Coming to Sun Chuanting, Phuntsok Namgyal put his posture very low, knelt down and saluted before getting up and saying, "Sun Jinglue, I have no intention of being an enemy of Manjushri, but I have been coerced by the nobles below. ”
"Stupid, they are willing to surrender after seeing the strength of the Heavenly Army, and I surrender to you on behalf of the 39th Division of the Snow District."
Phuntsok Nanjia didn't think about it carefully, after all, tens of thousands of 40,000 soldiers were killed, and now his soldiers and horses are less than 30,000, and he is unable to compete with the Ming army. Years old
"You are a monarch, and it is understandable that you are helpless, the emperor knows your suffering, and sent me to rescue you."
"There is enough pasture in the Hexi area, according to the rules of the previous surrender, you should have been able to graze there, but you are extremely stupid, you dare to fight with the heavenly soldiers, although you are lost now, but the rules need to be changed."
As he spoke, Sun Chuanting looked at Zhou Yi next to him, and Zhou Miao took out a copy of the new rules they had just written.
Phuntsok Namgyal took the blank piece of paper and saw that the seven rules were written in Tibetan.
In addition to the previous five, the two additional ones were that the Tibetan nobles had to move to live in the Shuofang area of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, while the commoners of Tibet could stay in Tibet, but all the slaves moved to Hexi to live.
In addition to this, the monks had to travel to Hexi and, at some point, follow the army to the Western Regions.
In addition, the Tibetan nobles no longer held official positions, but only scattered ranks. Years old
The distribution of the scattered rank is distributed according to the land of the nobles, and if you hand over 100 acres of land, you can get the official position of the second ninth grade, 1,000 mu from the ninth grade, 2,000 mu from the ninth grade, 3,000 mu from the eighth grade, and so on.
As for the cattle and sheep of the nobles, they could bring them to Shuofang themselves.
Phuntsok Namgyal looked at this condition and couldn't help frowning, but soon he stretched his brow.
He counted his land, and in his case, he might be able to get a good grade, and he had three thousand taels of silver a year.
This is not much, but behind this condition, Da Ming also promised to give enough grassland to the nobles of the snow area.
Handing over one acre of land to obtain thirty acres of pasture is the detailed condition given by the Ming Dynasty to the nobles.
According to this condition, Phuntsok Namgyal can obtain at least 560,000 mu of pasture. Years old
For him, the former Zangba Khan, five or six hundred thousand acres of grassland is naturally very small, but the grassland also depends on the place.
Five or six hundred thousand acres of grassland can raise more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and these cattle and sheep can have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver after being sold in Shuofang.
Moreover, in the Tsangpa Dynasty, Phuntsok Nam Gyal had to raise an army, but after surrendering he did not need to raise an army.
Under the condition of safety and security, he can make a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, and only needs to pay taxes of 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and he is quite happy.
"I don't have a problem, please wait for me to go back and discuss with the nobles."
Phuntsok Namgyal's expression was seen by Sun Chuanting, and after making sure that Phuntsok Namgyal could indeed accept these conditions, Sun Chuanting waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.
Seeing this, Phuntsok Namgyal bowed again and then followed the Ming cavalry out of the battlefield and returned to the Tibetan army. Years old
About half an hour later, the nobles sent the news that they were willing to surrender.
At this point, most of the affairs of Uszang were settled, and Sun Chuanting also ordered the nobles to be sent back to Lhasa for care, while the slaves were taken back to Lhasa by him and released, and the soldiers and horses of the nobles were disbanded.
The only things that need to be cleaned up are the nomadic tribes of Qiangtang and the Ladakh dynasty.
Almost at the same time, Qin Gongming and others also led troops to destroy Ahom, Little Brahmin and other countries.
At this point, the territory east of the Ganges River was completely returned to the Ming Dynasty.
The news of the end of the war was sent to the capital by Tang Qi, and Zhu Youzhen was the first to be ordered.
He handled the government in the carrying hall of the Qi Palace, and after learning of the results of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, he also set up two provinces, Wusizang and Luchuan, and at the same time incorporated Duogan into Wusizang. Years old
In this way, Daming became two capitals and twenty-four provinces.
The two provinces were divided into six prefectures of Wusizang and nine prefectures of Luchuan by Zhu Youzhen, totaling 75 counties.
However, the population of Uszang had to move to Han land, and the Han people had to move to Uszang.
"How many prisoners are there here in the Criminal Department?"
In the hall of the Carrier Hall, Zhu Youzhen asked the six people in front of him, and the six people in front of him were Gu Bingqian, Yuan Keli, Bi Ziyan, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and Zhu Xieyuan.
Zhu Youzhen called them here to discuss how to govern Luchuan and Wusizang.
At the previous court meeting, the general arrangements for Luchuan had been made, but the details still needed to be added, and some of Luchuan's interests had to be ceded. Years old
When interests are involved, Zhu Youzhen naturally wants to mention this group of people.
He asked Zhou Yanru about the prisoners, and Zhou Yanru replied when he heard this:
"Back to Your Highness, there are more than 17,000 prisoners."
"Exile the Bolu Mansion of Uszambi, calculate the time, and when they arrive, Sun Chuanting should recover Ladakh."
Zhu Youzhen lightly decided the question of the stay of more than 10,000 people, and Zhou Yanru could only respond.
"Last year, among the students of Enke, officials from Yunnan could be promoted to Wusizang officials."
"Your Highness, this ...... old."
Zhu Youzhen wanted to directly send Yunnan officials to take over Wusizang, although Wusizang was poor, but Wusizang had gold mines, so Gu Bingqian was naturally reluctant to hand over the gold mines to others to manage.
Just in the face of his words, Zhu Youzhen frowned and said:
"On weekdays, I let you look at some of the textbooks of "Yanshan", and you always feel that this is an additional burden."
"Nawusizang is a plateau, if the officials of the plains are transferred to take up their posts, I am afraid that before they arrive at the place where they take office, they will be infected with the plateau and die violently."
Zhu Youzhen told this group of people about altitude sickness, and although Gu Bingqian didn't believe it when he heard this, he didn't dare to refute Zhu Youzhen, so he had to give up.
However, Yuan Keli of the Ministry of Officials said: "Wusizang has set up six mansions, but after all, it is sparsely populated, and there are not many officials who need to move the people out of Tibet. ”
"However, the ministry still wants to ask His Highness, how many officials should be sent?" Years old
After a cold wind in winter, Yuan Keli lost a lot of weight, and his thoughts were not as clear as before, which made Zhu Youzhen feel a little regretful.
Although Yuan Keli supports the Donglin Party, his ability is obvious to all, just looking at his posture, I am afraid that he will be a leader this year.
After sorting out his emotions, Zhu Youzhen responded: "Sun Chuanting asked people to roughly calculate. ”
"There are about 60,000 people who stayed in Wusizang, and if you count the immigrants, it is about 80,000."
"In my opinion, the number of officials dispatched is temporarily set at 1,000 people."
"As for the local armament issue, I have communicated with the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and more than 12,000 cavalry in the four battalions of the garrison is enough."
Speaking of the matter of soldiers and horses, Zhu Youzhen glanced at the important ministers, and then said: "Age."
"The national dynasty wants to disarm more than 170,000 this year, these soldiers and horses need to be resettled, and the six departments and the five armies will discuss it, don't let the soldiers chill."
"Yes......" Gu Bingqian and the others were a little embarrassed, after all, since the last time Lin Dan Khan's entry into the Kou broke out, they had never dared to offend the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and they had to ask for everything, which made people uncomfortable.
It's just that if this is not the case, Gu Bingqian and the others always feel that the group of martial artists from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are sharpening their knives beside them.
Lin Dan Khan's entry into the Kou, no one has been responsible from beginning to end, and officials above the fifth grade are almost fine.
Although Gu Bingqian and the others could also think that the King of Qi and the Emperor did not want to deal with it, not a single official above the fifth grade was implicated, which was too partial......
As soon as they thought of this, Gu Bingqian and the others frowned unconsciously.
I thought to myself that those martial artists even dared to pull down the emperor, let alone their group of ministers? Years old
The matter of disarmament can only be mentioned by Zhu Youzhen, and whoever mentions it will die.
"Wusizang was handed over to the Western Military Governor's Office, and Luchuan was assigned to the Southern Military Governor's Office."
Zhu Youzhen drank tea while talking about things:
"The monks of Uszang can only preach in the designated places, and at present they can only preach in Uszang and Hexi, and the teachings have to be changed."
With some military power in his hands, Zhu Youzhen spoke very hard, if the monks of Wusizang did not obey the orders of the imperial court, then he would not mind supporting Buddhism in the interior and driving them to the Western Regions.
"The taxation of Wusizang was carried out in accordance with the new policy, and at the same time, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of Wusizang, and he was responsible for governing Wusizang and building the government and county roads of Wusizang."
"As for Sun Chuanting, he was reappointed as the Northwest Economic Strategy, controlled Shaanxi and Hexi, and then appointed him as the governor of these two provinces, managed the local area, and prepared for the recovery of the Western Regions by the dynasty." Years old
As soon as Zhu Youzhen finished talking about his arrangement, the six important ministers frowned, and Gu Bingqian also stubbornly refused:
"Your Highness, the merits of Sun Boya and Hong Hengjiu are enough to be transferred to Beijing, and it is probably inappropriate to let the two of them serve as important ministers of the border fortress."
"There's nothing wrong with it, these two places still need important ministers to stay behind, don't send them, can they be drawn from among you?" Zhu Youzhen asked Gu Bingqian rhetorically, which made him a little speechless.
The reason why he didn't want Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to be on the side was very simple, that is, he was worried that their merits were too high, and they would be too deeply involved with the generals, and they would not be able to suppress them after entering the cabinet.
It's just that now it seems that the situation is very clear, Zhu Youzhen is determined to support Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, and his obstruction is no longer important.
"Luchuan's yellow book has been handed over to the household department, right?"
After Zhu Youzhen refuted Gu Bingqian, he didn't give him a chance to say anything else, but asked Bi Ziyan directly. Years old
Bi Ziyan comprehended the heart: "Luchuan, the yellow book of Wusizang has been handed in." ”
"There are only 750,000 acres of land in Wusizang, and there are more Luchuan, counting Ahom and the Little Brahmins, there are more than 38 million mu in total, of which more than 23 million mu belong to the political envoys."
"On the yellow list of population, there are more than 6.6 million people in Luchuan, which is more than the estimate of the household department."
According to Bi Ziyan's report, the Yellow Book population in Luchuan has been removed from the labor camp by Hong Chengchou.
But even so, the population of Luchuan is still large.
However, it can also be seen from the possession of cultivated land that even if Maungji gave the people a share of land, the land in the hands of the people was still very limited.
Of the 6.6 million civilians, there are only 15.5 million mu, less than 3 mu per capita. Years old
Since Maung Ji arranged it like this, the Ming Dynasty only needed to increase the number of acres on their basis to let the people of Luchuan live honestly.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen must make some arrangements.
"The people of Luchuan will be given three acres of land per capita, and if they learn the official language, they will be divided into two acres."
"As for immigration, it is still carried out according to the previous relocation policy."
According to his policy, the more than 6.6 million people in Luchuan will be able to get nearly 20 million mu of cultivated land in this year's land distribution.
If they learn the official language of the Ming Dynasty, they will hold more than 33 million mu.
From this point of view, even if the people of Luchuan do not know the official language, there are only more than 1,800 acres of arable land left for the Ming immigrants. Years old
If they learned, there would only be more than 5 million acres of arable land left for the Ming immigrants.
With the policy of one person in the Ming Dynasty to relocate and divide 20 acres of land, the former can still support the relocation of more than 900,000 people, and the latter can only support more than 200,000 people.
Therefore, when Zhu Youzhen spoke, Yuan Keli frowned: "Your Highness, is there too much for the people of Luchuan?" ”
"If you want Luchuan to be stable, you can only do this, and don't forget, the industrial ...... of the dynasty" Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea.
His words reminded everyone of the tractor fields outside the capital, and although they all saw the benefits of tractors, they also learned about the production and price of tractors.
Listening to what Zhu Youzhen meant, is he going to use the tractor in Luchuan?
At the thought of using an expensive tractor in Luchuan, Gu Bingqian, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and the other three couldn't help but feel pain. Years old
"Dare to ask Your Highness...... Tractors and other things, how much can the annual output be at the moment? When can it be used in the dynasty? ”
Wen Tiren is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and it is only fitting for him to ask about this confidential matter.
In fact, officials above the fifth grade in Beijing all knew that Zhu Youzhen was constantly sending steam engines and tractors to Qi State.
The port of Tianjin, almost every few days, is departed by the ships of the Armaments Institute, and the destination is self-evident.
Therefore, after learning about the benefits of the tractor, the officials were wondering when Zhu Youzhen would leave the tractor to develop Daming.
They already know the number of tractor operators, and they also know the number of soldiers and civilians in Qi State, so they only need to know the output of industry to calculate when Qi State will be self-sufficient.
Once the Qi State became self-sufficient, a new round of migration began. Years old
Looking at it this way, it seems that the support of the Ming Dynasty to the Qi Kingdom will not stop far, so they naturally have to knock on the side.
Zhu Youzhen knew their thoughts very well, but he didn't hide it, but said directly:
"The annual output of tractors in the national dynasty is now more than 5,000 units, and it will reach 6,000 units by the end of the year, and it will reach more than 30,000 units in six years."
"As for when the tractor will act on the dynasty, it depends on the promulgation of the new policy."
New......
Pulling back and forth, I still can't pull out these two words.
The reason why Zhu Youzhen said these two words, Gu Bingqian and they knew better than anyone else. Years old
The policies of the New Deal, such as "apportioning the land into the mu, organizing the households, the gentry paying grain in one body, and being an errand in one" are all being promoted, but the speed of progress is very slow.
At this rate, I am afraid that the local officials and gentry will step on the red line to complete the implementation of the new policy.
A year later in the implementation of the New Deal, they paid one year less in taxes, and not only that, but they also had many tools waiting to be used.
I'm afraid Zhu Youzhen has noticed these actions a long time ago, so he has not shown signs of pushing the tractor into the house for a long time.
Zhu Youzhen is now suddenly talking about the new deal, that is, a naked threat to Gu Bingqian and them.
After knowing the benefits of the tractor, he didn't believe that Gu Bingqian and the gentry behind them could hold back.
Since you can't help it, and you can't deal with yourself, then be honest and obedient and promulgate the new deal. Years old
If it is not promulgated and wants to continue to drag on, then Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting can enter the cabinet.
When these two people entered the cabinet, the gentry and powerful people had no right to speak in the imperial court, because the forces behind the two of them were military generals.
Thinking of this, Gu Bingqian and the others all looked bad, and Zhu Youzhen was still drinking tea by himself......
