Chapter 269: Yungui's Close Connection
The former governor of Sichuan was Qiao Bixing, who was honest and capable, did not join forces with civil officials, and appointed reliable military generals.
However, the governor of Guizhou is Zhang Heming, although he has some military ability, but his character is very average, sometimes he is ambitious, and he has blackmailed many Tusi, which was secretly promoted by Tusi in various Miao villages, which damaged the reputation of the imperial court. He was in Guizhou for a few years, and his rule was relatively chaotic, and his relationship with Sichuan was extremely poor.
After that, the governor of Guizhou was replaced by Li Zong, who was pragmatic and modest, and the situation in Guizhou improved.
However, Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan who took over, had mediocre abilities, and blindly relied on appeasement and concessions to stabilize the situation.
The result, of course, was to connive at the continued expansion of the two families, and also played a trick that did not agree with each other to deceive the court and officials.
This Xu Keqiu has always thought that the Shuixi family is more bad, while the Yongning luxury family is more loyal.
If it weren't for Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu, who had experience in Guangdong and Shaanxi, knew soldiers and horses and was very talented, and handled the details for Xu Keqiu, I am afraid that the situation would have gotten worse long ago.
Wang Hongyu thought about it, this Xu Keqiu's behavior is estimated to bring resistance to his actions. However, Li Zong, the governor of Guizhou, felt that he was a more pragmatic and tolerant official after listening to their introduction.
Now the Sichuan side has made preparations with Shizhu and Youyang, trained new soldiers and horses together, and contacted Hou Liangzhu, the general of central Sichuan, and a group of military veterans are being gathered.
But if you make more preparations, you can't do it, because you can't go on the side of the civil service.
Governor Xu Keqiu was a civil official with real power, and the military generals could not influence his views at all.
It seems that it is a similar situation to Yuan Yingtai......
Wang Hongyu didn't plan to be bullied by civil officials again, so he had been laying out Central Sichuan before, but he was not in a hurry to take the lead.
After listening to the introduction this time, Guizhou feels like there is a chance~
Li Tingqian introduced: "I can contact Governor Li Zong's side, and if it needs to be arranged in advance, he will generally listen to appropriate suggestions."
As a great Confucian in Qianzhong, he is relatively familiar with the governor Li Zong.
Wang Hongyu thought about it, there is really one thing that is too far away on his side, and it is best to be promoted by the governor of Guizhou.
"Yungui's side is the key to cutting off the back road of Tusi, and the strength of Governor Yuan Keli and the two-hundred-year-old Mu family is very important to deter the small group."
And when he said this, the people knew what they were to trouble them about.
Li Tingqian said: Yuan Keli, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is a very prestigious official, he has visited twice before, and he can meet again to get married.
The rest of the Guizhou scribes were also familiar with Yuan Keli.
Seeing this condition, Wang Hongyu said bluntly: "Sichuan and Guizhou are separated by two powerful Tusi, Hao and An, and once a war breaks out, they will be isolated into two battlefields.
On the contrary, it was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who could support Guizhou with roads and post stations, and directly threaten the flanks of the Shuixian family, while the luxury family was far away and could not be stopped. ”
Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and it was indeed a figure like the god of war in the Hunhe River, and they had not realized this kind of strategic idea before.
Thinking about dealing with the luxury family in the south of Sichuan, that is, to increase troops in the direction of Sichuan to prepare for war; To deal with the settlement of the northwest of Guizhou, it is to increase troops in the direction of Guizhou and prepare for war.
I didn't expect to really fight, and in the case of a head-on battle, I would threaten the enemy from the flanks.
"Not only that, once the enemy threatens the Yangtze River shipping, attack Chongqing and other Dongdaemun areas, and threaten the communication between Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang. At this time, the materials transferred from Yunnan are very important. ”
In general, when entering Sichuan and Guizhou, the first choice is along the river, the second is from Shaanxi to Hanzhong and then into Sichuan, and then from the south of Huguang, that is, Hunan in the later generations to take the plank road.
Obviously, it is much more convenient to take the waterway than the mountain road, so if the toast messes up, he will definitely try to threaten the waterway. And threatening the waterways, the enemy will definitely attack Chongqing, a key city.
So Chongqing will become a focus of contention.
However, the Ming army could not only hope that everything in Chongqing would be safe and that the waterways would not be threatened, but also that there would be logistical roads that the enemy could not imagine.
That is the road behind Yungui.
At that time, Yuan Keli was prompted to go to the southwest, just to make the enemy unguardable at this time.
Li Tingqian and other Wang Xuemen promised to promote more contacts between Governor Li and Governor Yuan Keli, especially to repair the road from Yunnan to Guizhou and build supply points in villages and towns along the way.
The key to the roads of Guizhou and Yunnan lies in Pu'an Prefecture in the southwest corner.
This place was also the Tusi of the Yi Long tribe handed down from the Song Dynasty.
Since Yongle began to gradually change the land and return to the stream, the establishment of Pu'an Prefecture, the surrounding Yi twelve battalion tribes are under the jurisdiction of Pu'an Prefecture, but the leaders are all the Tusi branch of the Long family, so the imperial court's rule over the Pu'an region largely depends on the Tuguan.
At that time, Pu'an's influence was actually limited to the state border, and the management of the 12 battalions under its jurisdiction was relatively limited. During the Hongzhi period, there was also a rebellion of the Miao Tusi Miru, and finally a total of 80,000 troops were transferred, which took 5 months to pacify.
The city of Pu'an Prefecture has not been built, and it is even worse than the counties of Yunyang, and there is not even an earthen wall, which is a larger town.
In the Wanli period, Pu'an Prefecture moved into the Acropolis, that is, the state capital and the Weishou were combined. On the one hand, it is related to the material economic basis for the prosperity of the Pu'an Acropolis; On the other hand, it can also make the state city enter the guard station and have a city wall, which can be regarded as being directly protected by the guard station.
Now Pu'an Prefecture is basically stable, the trade between Yunnan and Guizhou is becoming more and more abundant, and the local post stations are protected by soldiers and horses, which has been regarded as a success in reforming the land and returning to the stream.
There is still a long way to go in other areas to change their land and return to the stream, and it cannot be completed overnight.
But the tide has come.
Luxury home, settle down to the opposite, right?
There's some toast on the go, right?
I, Wang Hongyu, just wiped them all out and took over all their land, population, and resources.
Li Tingqian introduced the causes of Guizhou Tusi, and Ai Youlan, Lu Delong, Ran Zongkong and others supplemented it.
Under the appropriate guidance of Wang Hongyu, Nangao Academy and Wang Xueshizi both actively spoke, and carefully discussed Guizhou's reform of land and return to the river in combination with the example of land reform and return to the stream.
Tusi has been an official for generations, dominating one side, and some Tusi are tyrannical and lawless, carrying out political oppression and economic plunder against the people in the territory, and the Tusi provoke armed fights or wars for power and profit, resulting in misery and rebellion against the imperial court.
From the very beginning, the Ming Dynasty only partially continued the Tusi system. According to the size of the hereditary Tusi jurisdiction, the Ming Dynasty first established three civil official positions: Tuzhifu, Tuzhizhou, and Tuzhixian.
This setup somehow incorporated Tusi into the official system of the Ming government, weakening its local color and strengthening its administrative color.
This created conditions for the implementation of "changing the land and returning to the stream" in the Yunnan-Guizhou region in the southwest, that is, changing the hereditary Tusi into mobile officials appointed by the imperial court, and strengthening the imperial court's control over the southwestern frontier.
