"Your Majesty, although many of the Shu Shi clan have a kinship or collusion with the rebels, but now because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion, they have sent a large number of Tiqi to arrest them, which may cause chaos in the whole of Sichuan!"

"It is better to only admonish and reprimand, so that they know reverence, and in the future, the officials will deal with it according to the facts."

On the day of the matter, He Jiliang asked Zhu Yijun to stop the matter.

Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "It is better to let Sichuan be in chaos for a few years, than to tolerate the cultivation of traitors, and to destroy the rebellion!" We can't leave the problem to future generations, and let future generations encounter greater hidden dangers, so there must be no objections to this matter! ”

And Yushi Xue Jimao followed: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of a foolish minister, now Yang Yinglong's rebellion is not suitable for suppression, and it can be calmed down, and suppressing it will not mention that it will be hard work, not to mention, there will be a large number of casualties, and even a surplus ravine, which will not only increase the burden of the court's pension and support, but also not in line with Your Majesty's benevolence!" ”

"As for changing the land and returning to the stream, it is advisable to slow down rather than urgently, and now that the court has been influenced by kindness, I believe that future generations can deal with it better."

……

"Ridiculous!"

"Is there still less probation before?"

"Since the beginning of the country, it has been 200 years since I reformed them, have those toasts been disciplined?!"

"It can be said that over the years, the Southwest Tusi has been completely unruly, always rebelling and surrendering, surrendering and rebelling, causing many Hanyi people to die tragically, which shows that the policy of fetters and appeasement has long been out of date.

"As for the casualties caused by the conquest and suppression, it is a matter of last resort for the development of the country, which can only be accepted, not evaded, and if it is not dealt with today, it will still be dealt with in the future!"

"What's more, the fate of the soldiers is either to be shrouded in horse leather or to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and my virtue is to let them either die on the battlefield or seal their wives and sons, rather than letting them only be tired things that are supported by the court in vain!"

"As for the matter of extravagant wages, why worry, with the wealth of the country today, if we do not change the land and return to the stream, will we have to wait for future generations to spend extravagantly when the treasury is empty?!"

After Zhu Yijun said this, he looked at Xue Jimao.

"Yes!"

"Foolishness!"

Xue Jimao had no choice but to retreat.

Zhu Yijun had to admit that these bureaucrats who opposed the reform of the land and the return of the land all wanted to leave the problem to future generations, and they didn't know how embarrassed they would be to put their ancestors in front of their descendants in the future.

Zhu Yijun secretly complained, and then said: "Therefore, this time Yang Yinglong's rebellion must be suppressed with all his might!" No matter how many officers and soldiers are killed in battle, and how much money is spent, this rebellion must be put down and the place will become a place of government by the officials! ”

"Spread the order to the political secretary of the southwest Zhubu to care for the officials, let them tell Zhu Hanyi how many people were killed in battle, and the imperial court will allocate how many silver dollars according to the number of dead in addition to the pension silver to build a local academy, as a place for the children of local peasant families to study, so as to benefit the king!"

"Yes!"

After Zhu Yijun's decree was issued, it further stimulated the nerves of the Southwest Zhuhanyi.

For the ordinary Han people in the southwest and the ordinary Yao, Zhuang, Miao, Tu, Yi and other ethnic minorities, they need to realize the cross-regional class through reading.

After all, reading is less risky than rebellion, and it is more in line with the minds of these yeoman farmers.

Therefore, Rao is next attack on Banzhou, still because of the danger, there are many casualties, but there is still a steady stream of soldiers from the southwest Tusi to join, even if their Tusi leaders are unwilling, the middle and lower landlords below also force their leaders to take the initiative to ask for troops, in order to strive for themselves to establish a academy here, and there are children who will be able to raise people in the future.

"Loushan Pass has been breached?"

Yang Yinglong asked Yang Chaodong in astonishment this day.

Yang Chaodong nodded: "The third brother was also captured. ”

"How is this possible!"

Yang Yinglong couldn't help but slap the table and said.

Yang Chaodong said: "There are too many officers and soldiers, those wolf soldiers and native soldiers are not afraid of death, cliffs, floods, insects and beasts are not afraid, no matter how dangerous our pass is, we still can't hold it!" ”

"It must be this Zhu Yijun who has made a lot of money!"

Yang Yinglong said a word, and asked Yu Maochang: "How are the Han people in contact, can they say that they moved Zhu Yijun to appease us?" ”

"Nope!"

"The secret letter from the capital, before we had time to contact us, the scholars who supported the old rites had already taken the initiative to let a few officials test the emperor's intentions, and as a result, the Son of Heaven made it clear that he would suppress the rebellion at all costs, and even decided the scale of the academy in the local area through the number of officers and soldiers killed in various places."

"In addition, the cabinet has requested a holy decree to let the governors of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang issue 10 million taels of silver dollars in the local treasury bond to raise funds based on the Iwami silver mine, as a special fund for pacifying the southwest and developing the southwest!"

"Chengdu and Chongqing have begun to have a large number of cavalry in the arrest of the warriors who have contacted us."

"Zhu Yijun's determination to change the land and return to the river is really great!"

After Yu Maochang said this, he looked at Yang Yinglong.

Yang Yinglong sat down in a chair after hearing this.

At that time, Yang Yinglong's cousin He Hanliang suggested from the side:

"Now it seems that we can only force the An's, the Lu's and other toasts to rebel together!"

Yang Yinglong immediately sat up and looked at He Hanliang: "Are you saying that they don't want to rebel together, so they will attack them?" ”

"That's right!"

"Now that Fotu Guan can't be taken, and the toast has been co-opted and divided, he can only find another way!"

"If the An clan and the Hao clan do not plot together, they will attack them, so as to get a chance to breathe, and when the imperial court's financial resources are insufficient, they will definitely turn to the strategy of appeasement;"

"What's more, Zhu Yijun is using a yang strategy, everyone in the world knows that he wants to eliminate not only our Yang family, but all the toasts, as long as we help him eliminate most of the toasts, he doesn't need to spend a lot of effort to eliminate us!"

He Hanliang said.

Yang Yinglong nodded: "If we don't eliminate these toasts, these toasts will help the imperial court eliminate us!" Since everyone is not united, then don't blame me for not being affectionate! ”

After Yang Yinglong said this, he ordered the troops to send Yongning Tusi, and to eliminate the Yongning Hao clan first.

"Surnamed Yang, I will your ancestor!"

"I didn't provoke you, why did you come to attack my city!"

Originally, he only planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he scolded, and had to surrender because of his lack of strength for a while, and rebelled with Yang Yinglong.

But there are more toast soldiers who have been transferred to attack these toasts.

As a result, the entire southwest was directly turned into a pot of porridge, and there were fierce battles every day, a large number of casualties every day, and some people were awarded officers.

But most of the lives of ethnic minorities such as Zhuang, Miao, Yi, Tu, and Yao are always consumed.

And the cave masters of these ethnic minorities, Tusi or something, also know that the purpose of the imperial court is to consume them, but they can only attack each other, after all, they are a plate of loose sand.

The contradiction between some toasts is greater than the contradiction with the Han people!

What's more, for Tusi, who was close to the territory of the Han Chinese, the benefits of participating in the suppression of the rebellion were more cost-effective than the benefits of joining the rebels.

Therefore, the two sides can only force their own people to work hard because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion and Zhu Yijun's insistence on suppression, and even at the expense of spending money to seal a large number of officials, and stage a game of either you die or I live.

This kind of killing will not end in a few years, or even a decade or twenty, or even several generations.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is not in a hurry to see the results immediately, but just asks the officials in the southwest to expand the achievements of changing the land and returning to the river in a timely manner while quelling the rebellion, and immediately move the Han people to the past after eliminating the Tusi in a place, even if they can't move many Han people for the time being, they must also increase the intensity of sinicization of the aborigines, build schools, set up medical centers, repair water conservancy, persuade farmers and mulberry farmers, and do practical things in the name of bereavement and relief, in short, to develop the economy, improve local productivity, and give up slavery and serfdom.
