Chapter 291: Changing the Land and Returning to the River
Since the pacification of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, in order to appease the hearts of the people in the two provinces, the imperial court ordered a separate imperial examination in Yunnan and Guizhou, and selected scholars served as officials to fill the vacancies in the local government offices.
Although the two places are still a little unaccustomed to Su Yan's rule, the policy of apportioning the land into the mu is still vigorously carried out, and the people everywhere are cheering, grateful to the imperial court for removing the heavy shackles that have been pressed on their heads for thousands of years.
The promotion of this policy also brought the people everywhere closer to the Nanjing court, but it also annoyed the Tusi, who protested to the local government, claiming that the policy violated their rights and hoped that the court would exclude them from the policy.
This request was naturally rejected by the government, but then, small-scale natives began to attack in the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, although the imperial army had not completely withdrawn and suppressed these natives, but it also gave Su Yan a wake-up call.
He knew that the land had to be reformed.
So, on the evening of the day he received the tip, he convened a cabinet meeting and put forward a proposal to Xu He, Kong Xingxi, and Zhang Kentang to change the land and return it to the river.
In fact, the reform of the land has been carried out throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the early reforms were moderate, and only in the event of the extinction of the local officials, the vendetta between the local officials or the rebellion was quelled, and the local officials were dismissed from their posts for crimes, etc., the local Tusi system would be abolished and replaced by the liuguan.
This will inevitably not be able to carry out the reform thoroughly, so to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan, Guichuan and other provinces still have a large number of Tusi, to the Yongzheng period to change the land and return to the stream was pushed to the front of the stage again, but it is only implemented in some areas of the southwest ethnic minorities, and there are many places that have not been changed.
At present, the battle between Qin and Chu has just ended, and a large number of soldiers and horses of the Chu army are still hoarded in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there is no more suitable time for reform.
After Su Yan put forward this intention, Xu He, the first assistant of the cabinet, instantly understood Su Yan's intention, and he immediately put forward the importance of changing the land and returning to the stream, and talked eloquently, which was unanimously agreed by the other two cabinet ministers.
Subsequently, at the court meeting the next day, Xu He played on the matter, and comprehensively expounded the necessity of changing the land and returning to the stream in front of the civil and military officials, and asked for immediate implementation.
He suggested that the illegal toast should be captured by strategy, and the soldiers should be suppressed, so that they would automatically surrender; It is necessary to use troops but not to use them exclusively, to deter each other by force, and to strive to solve the problem by political means.
Su Yan was very appreciative of Xu He's performance and adopted his suggestion, but disagreements arose within the court over who should be put in charge of the matter.
Some ministers believe that Su Dingyuan, the governor of Huguang, is now Chen Bingyungui, with many soldiers and horses, which is suitable for dealing with the violent confrontation with the imperial court, and he has just defeated Sun Kewang, and his reputation is flourishing, and he is in charge of presiding, and the local Tusi may also be afraid and choose to compromise.
However, some ministers objected to this, and they inferred from Su Dingyuan's attitude towards the Tusi in the war that if Su Dingyuan was in charge, he would definitely blindly adopt a tough stance towards the Tusi, which might force the Tusi who were originally unwilling to rebel to the opposite side.
When Su Yan asked them about the candidate they wanted to promote, they had different opinions, among which An Daoyuan, the governor of Guizhou, had a louder voice, and the reason for these people was that although An Daoyuan had only been in Guizhou for a short time as the governor, he also knew something about Guizhou Tusi, and it was most appropriate for him, a local magistrate, to be fully responsible.
Su Yan was noncommittal about their reasons, but he had to admit that Su Dingyuan was indeed not suitable to stay in Yungui to deal with the Tusi issue, and Su Yan had already made a decision about him.
Now that Sun Kewang has been defeated, there is no resistance to the Northern Expedition, and if you don't choose the Northern Expedition at this time, more people will be struggling in the war, and Zhang Huangyan, the only one who hit the Northern Expedition, was stopped by Hong Chengchou under the city of Jinan, and it was time to open up a new battlefield and disperse the pressure of Zhang Huangyan.
Su Dingyuan is one of the generals that Su Yan decided to send to the Northern Expedition, Su Yan has a draft for the Northern Expedition, and one route is led by Hubei Governor Zhang Mingzhen to invade Henan, and one route is led by Su Dingyuan to cooperate with Sichuan Governor Liu Tichun to recover Sichuan, and then attack Hanzhong, continue to go north, and directly take Wu Sangui's nest.
The two armies went together, Zhang Mingzhen's road was to contain the Qing army's strength and share the pressure for Zhang Huangyan, and Su Dingyuan's road was to contain Wu Sangui, so that Wu Sangui could not intervene in the Chu army's Northern Expedition.
Su Dingyuan has another task that is not suitable for presiding over the reform (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)

, An Daoyuan is not the most suitable candidate, Yungui Tusi is destined not to obediently cooperate with the reform of the imperial court, they will definitely set off a rebellion to rebel against the imperial court.
And An Daoyuan has never had any experience in military operations, and he is afraid that he will not be able to resist the rebellion of Tusi, so if An Daoyuan is really responsible, he will send another general as his deputy to deal with possible future mutinies.
Su Yan raised his worries, he said: "Tusi has always been cunning, non-military people can deal with it, Guizhou Governor An Daoyuan has never learned the art of war, if it is the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream with its prime minister, a general needs to be appointed as a deputy, but the general soldiers of Guizhou and Yunnan are not the generals of the unified army, and they cannot take on this heavy responsibility." ”
After he finished speaking, there was another discussion, but after a while, Fu Dingquan, the right attendant of the military department, suddenly came out of the ranks, and he said solemnly to Su Yan: "Your Highness, the minister Fu Dingquan wishes that Mao Sui will recommend himself to go to the southwest border and personally handle the matter of changing the land and returning to the river!" ”
As soon as Fu Dingquan said this, the hundred officials looked at him with surprised eyes, and Shangshu Jiezhongxi, who had fought side by side with him, opened his mouth to say something, but still chose to be silent.
Su Yan didn't agree immediately, he stared at Fu Dingquan for a while, the latter's eyes were clear, his eyes were firm, and he was not afraid of Su Yan's gaze at all.
Fu Dingquan once participated in the uprising against the Qing army, and he was born in a good place, both civil and military, so he is indeed a good candidate, Su Yan thought for a while, nodded and said:
"Fu Shilang took the initiative to ask for help, sharing worries for the court, and he was very lonely."
After speaking, he paused and continued: "The proposed edict will grant Fu Dingquan, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, the post of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the prime minister of Yunnan and Guizhou military affairs, and implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river in the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. ”
……
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Fu Dingquan stayed in Nanjing for a few days to prepare, and then set off on the road to Yunnan and Guizhou, leaving with Fu Dingquan, as well as an envoy to southern Sichuan and an edict official who was on the way with him.
This envoy was none other than Dong Xuan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who was ordered to meet Liu Wenxiu, who had been canonized as the king of Shu by Sun Kewang, and Liu Wenxiu, both in the original timeline and now, had been focused on recovering Sichuan, and had not gone south to participate in the civil war between Qin and Chu.
Combined with his historical behavior and character, Su Yan decided to give him a chance, hoping that he could return to the Nanjing Imperial Court without blood and avoid more unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice.
Although Su Yan hoped to surrender Liu Wenxiu through peaceful means, he was also ready for war, and once Liu Wenxiu refused to surrender, the army would immediately move out and completely pacify the obstacles to the recovery of Sichuan.
