The terrain here in Yunyang is very complicated.

From the west to the eastern end of Nanshan Mountain, southeast to Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, northeast to Funiu Mountain, south to Jingshan Mountain and the vast Shennongjia, the mountains are continuous, the river back to the forest is deep, as long as the displaced people hide in the mountains and forests, the government basically has no good way.

The mountains here are different from the sparsely vegetated mountains in the north, and are full of green bamboo, shrubs, and half-human-tall grass. However, unlike the mountains further south, there is not so much humidity, and there are relatively few poisonous insects. Therefore, it is the mystery of both the north and south mountains.

In the early Ming Dynasty, although there were Yunxian and Fang counties, there was no Yunyang Mansion, let alone Yunyang Governor.

Even during the Hongwu period, there were rebel forces that fled into the mountains, and the displaced people gathered again. Zhu Yuanzhang once sent Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, to lead troops to Fang County to clear it.

During the Hongwu and Yongle years, the ban was successively implemented, "the land is empty, and the displaced people are not allowed to enter".

However, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to land annexation and other reasons, coupled with successive disasters, a large number of peasants went bankrupt and became homeless, and at that time, batches of peasants left their hometowns and fled in all directions.

At the time of Baozong, a very large gathering place of displaced people was formed here, and displaced people from the four provinces of Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Sichuan gathered at this junction, and the number of displaced people reached as many as 1.8 million.

These landless displaced people launched two Jingxiang uprisings.

Liu Tong, who launched the first uprising, called himself the "King of Han", and the rebel army numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and the second was even larger.

Finally, during the Chenghua period, the suppression and elimination of the rebels were eliminated, and the remaining displaced people were pacified.

Moreover, in order to solve this problem, the Yunyang Mansion and the Yunyang Wei were established in Yunxian County, allowing the displaced people to attach their nationality to the people in the mountainous areas, reclaiming wasteland, forever as their own business, and placing the prefect and the health center for daily management.

Considering that Yunxian County is an important place that extends in all directions, but is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is daily military affairs and supervision work, and the governor of Xunyang was officially set up in the twelfth year of Chenghua.

Since then, the governor's yamen has always been there, at the junction of the four provinces, managing many surrounding areas.

"So, more than 100 years ago, there weren't really many local people living here?"

Wang Hongyu asked Zhou Yijie, who was familiar with the local situation, and the guide of the Zhou family.

"That's true......."

Zhou Yijie also sighed, he is also from Yunyang, but his ancestors are from Sichuan.

Zhou Dunji is the same.

At this time, more than eighty percent of the people in Yunyang were actually strangers.

The local people of Sichuan and Guizhou, foreign guests, with obvious regional differences, are called the contradiction between local and guest.

But when you arrive in Yunyang, there is not as much difference between the local and foreign lands.

Except for Yun County, the core of Yunyang Prefecture, many of the local clans in other counties are not ancestors here.

"I remember that the eldest brother's brother Zhou Zhaoan introduced that their home is in Zhushan County."

"That's right."

The guide was enthusiastic about the introduction.

Zhushan County is a county in the southwest of Yunyang, this county is deep in the Qinling Mountains and Bashu Mountains, Fuzhi Yun County in the north, Fang County in the east and Zhuxi in the west, and the surrounding counties are all just 100 miles away.

There are many mountains and many rivers and few roads, there is a very abundant Zhu River, which winds and turns close to Zhushan County, and flows directly to Yun County to join the Han River. The Zhu River is also the largest tributary of the Han River, and it is obvious that water transportation is more convenient than land.

Just south of Zhushan County is the Shennongjia Mountainous Area, which is basically inaccessible. In the vast area in the middle, except for some Miao and Tu tribes who are familiar, only a small number of old hunters and merchant travelers know the road. Crossing Shennongjia in the southwest direction, there is Daning and Wanxian in Kuizhou, Sichuan.

"Although the head of the family lives in Zhushan, in order to facilitate travel to and from various places, there is also a set of courtyards in Yunxian County, which is governed by the prefecture.

Wang Hongyu sighed and was excited in his heart.

Sigh that I ran to such a place suitable for rebellion and guerrillas.

But I'm excited because there are so many places to develop and be able to make a difference.

The prefect, Tongzhi, and Tongju led the officials of Yunyang Mansion out of the city for 2 miles, greeted Wang Hongyu and his party, and thanked the Hunhe Army for escorting the coffin of Yunyang's great hero Zhou Dunji back to his hometown.

At this time, Zhou Dunji's coffin arrived in Junzhou County, and the day before yesterday, Yunyang Mansion knew that the fleet of the Hunhe Army escorting the coffin had already set off, and the officials and people of Yunyang had already gone downstream with supplies to greet them, and it was estimated that they were about to converge.

In order to ensure the safety of the body of General Zhou Zheng, they had already sent someone to buy ice cubes from the cellar of the big household, and a group of boatmen spontaneously went to greet them, they were familiar with the waterways, and knew where there were rapids and reefs.

Because the Hunhe Army was to be stationed in Yunxian, there were 3,000 soldiers to escort the fleet, and Zhou Dunji's comrades-in-arms and fellow villagers along the way responded, and no group of displaced people dared to do anything to the fleet.

The prefect also sent government officials to follow, and the townships and post stations were responsible for the supply along the way, so that Wang Hongyu could rest assured.

also planned to arrange for Wang Hongyu and Zhou Yijie to go to the city to stay, but Wang Hongyu politely declined, and first went to the military camp prepared by Yunyang Wei to have a look, and then went to visit the government office.

The prefect and the general judge always accompanied Wang Hongyu, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Looking at the prefect, the general judge has a thin face, and he is simple, without a bit of officialdom.

When I returned to the palace, Tongzhi had already prepared green vegetables and rice, and there was no big fish and meat. The prefect of Yuan Jinghao said embarrassedly: "Yunyang is miserable and the people are difficult, and I am really ashamed that my parents and officials cannot benefit the people." ”

It's really honest people, and they can't even say a word of hypocrisy and politeness, and when they see their emaciated figures, they know how their lives are usually, one word "poor." ”

Wang Hongyu said, "It's going to get better, eat." ”

Several people gobbled it up, only Qin Ling was a little elegant, Li Tiezhu was obviously not enough to eat, Wang Hongyu gave him a look, so he had to eat half full.

A few people usually eat and live with the soldiers, how can they care about the quality of the food, at first glance, it is Qingshui Yamen, and it is too late to meet the Qingguan to be happy.

After a cup of tea after the meal, Wang Hongyu was very satisfied. Then let the three of them introduce the situation, geographical environment and mineral resources of Yunyang.

Yunyang Fuzhi at the end of the twelfth year of Chenghua (1476), by the first governor of the left deputy capital Yu Shi Yuan Jie built the town, the general town governance office is located in Yun County, and there is a Huguang Xingdu command envoy here, down Jingnan Road.

Fuzhi has jurisdiction over the prefectures and counties of Nanyang Prefecture in Henan, the prefectures and counties of Lufu Prefecture, Jingmen Prefecture, Chuyang Prefecture, Yunyang Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture in Huguang, the prefectures and counties of Hanzhong Prefecture in Shaanxi, and the counties of Shangzhou Prefecture in Xi'an Prefecture in Shaanxi Province and the counties of Kuizhou Prefecture in Sichuan. It has jurisdiction over a total of eight prefectures, nine provinces, nine prefectures and sixty-four counties.

It has caused the great integration of Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Sichuan, and Sichuan in Yunyang without regions and nationalities.

Because it has only been established for more than 100 years, there are no large families who have settled in the area for several generations, and most of them are new people who have moved in within a hundred years.

There is no concept of locals and strangers here, which is in line with the system of the Hunhe Army, which is suitable for Wang Hongyu and these newcomers.
