Chapter 208 Peace

This time, Lu Chongming was forced to rebel, and the pressure on the Ming Dynasty was mainly at the military level, and it was limited to Sichuan Province; And An Bangyan's revelation plunged the entire southwest of the empire into a quagmire of complete chaos. An Bangyan has an active brain, and he is quite able to convince the people in the surrounding tribes, and everyone has been bullied by the Han officials for a long time, and they are holding their breath in their hearts. The leader of An raised his arms and shouted, and the Tusi of Guizhou Wusa (now Weining, Guizhou), Hongbian (now Kaiyang, Guizhou), Dongchuan (now Huize, Yunnan), Yunnan Zhanyi (now Xuanwei, Yunnan), and even Yuanzhou (now Zhijiang, Hunan) and other places responded one after another. ”

Before leaving Guizhou, Lord Zhang Heming had already offended all the local tribes. When he returned to the court to be a squire in the military department, he was not idle for a while, and he and the group of Qingliu friends boasted all day long that he gave the saint an idea to ask him to cut down An Bangyan and "raze the country". It happened that the Son of Heaven moved his mind to clean up the officialdom because of Xi Junyu's corruption case, and a few guys who hit the muzzle of the gun had just been hit by the board, and the officials were panicked, lest the saint investigate the corruption on their heads, and it was easy to catch this eye-catching topic. When the appointment of the governor of Shaanxi trilateral military affairs came down, Lord Zhang pondered for a while: Xi Junyu had just been taken down, and the officialdom of Qin Di was in urgent need of rectification, and this appointment certainly represented the incomparable trust and ardent hope of the Holy Son of Heaven for himself. But...... In other words, a few decades ago, the governor was similar to the river governor, and it was indeed a fat gap that could control the local civil and military affairs and a lot of money to spend, and of course Lord Zhang was duty-bound. But now it is different from the past, Liaodong, Southwest, and the victims, the three bottomless holes have drained the treasury to the ground, and there is no longer any need to count on the appropriations of the imperial court, and in the locality, Xi Junyu and Zhang Hu have already scraped twice, and it is impossible to squeeze out a few taels of silver - the risk is big and the oil and water are less, and it is your duty to do a good job, in case something goes wrong, oh, well, there is a high probability that something will go wrong, then you must be responsible! So Mr. Zhang decisively reported the "recurrence of leg disease" and went home to "recuperate". This reason is simply absolute: how did the leg disease fall? It was in the bitter cold land of Guizhou that he worked hard for the saint! In fact, many bigwigs in the DPRK and China have a clear heart: Lord Zhang, this is called retreating as advance, waiting for the opportunity. It seems that the rapids are retreating bravely, and the old man has also asked himself for a gong! The book of the saints says, "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself" - what does it mean? If you have the opportunity, you will immediately jump out and serve the court and the people wholeheartedly, and when there is no good opportunity, you will wait! Only an imperial elite like Lord Zhang can really read the book thoroughly! As an official, he has become a master.

After Zhang Heming left office, he was replaced by an unlucky man who was once full of ambition, Li Jingwu (the word 橒峰). Master Li used to do political history in Guangdong, and the folk reputation was very good, and the Son of Heaven also knew about it, so he was transferred to Guizhou. At the beginning of his trip to Guizhou, he naively thought that it was just a few villagers who were restless, and mobilized soldiers to beat them up, and then sent some seeds to plough the cattle, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. Master Li is very experienced in this regard - when governing Guangdong, the Yao Man and She Man of Baiyue's class of "each caste" were all cleaned up by Lord Li's two tricks.

However, when he arrived in Guizhou, Lord Li found that things were not what he thought at all: the Yao barbarians and She barbarians in Guangdong Province were often dishonest, either fighting each other or robbing the Hakka people, and here it was really the government that forced the Miao barbarians and Yi barbarians too much, and they couldn't bear it anymore, and even the tribal leader attacked a local official to be squeezed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the experience of ordinary people is needless to say? So he wrote to the court to ask for his life...... Now, stab into the hornet's nest with a shot - the trolls in the middle of the court have immediately discovered a new target!

As expected, Li Jingwu was drowned in saliva. "Stupid and dull", "stubborn and stupid"...... Well, this is light, it's just a matter of personal ability, "privately accepting huge bribes from Miao Man", "The minister heard that Chief Miao sent twenty stunning barbarian girls to Xinfu" This is a public participation on the surface, and in private, "some people haven't gotten out of bed for half a month" Fengyue Yanwen has been rumored to have noses and eyes...... Well, these are nothing, after all, they are still a matter of life style, "the ministers heard that all the chiefs bowed to them", "the private Miao chieftain, the evil meaning is obvious!" "It's over, this is the crime of extermination!

Li Jingwu was stupid: Where is this! You say that the old man collects money and accepts beautiful women, and the officials have always been like this; In the governor's yamen, in full view of everyone, he accepted the prostrations of the tribal leaders? The old man thinks there are too many people in the family, and he wants to come to the door to look at it - am I crazy?!

So he angrily wrote to defend himself.

And so the finished bird.

Scolding you for your own good, do you understand the truth of spitting on your face? Do you understand the principle of encouragement if there is no change? You dare to fight back! Let's go together - if you don't spray the dead girl, no one will dare to fight back in the future, how can we mix?

So Li Jingwu became Li Jingmao - don't say anything about governing Guizhou, according to this trend, it is not certain whether he can save his life or not, and he will "warp" a yarn!

Master Li was really tired, and sighed: Isn't it okay for the old man to admit defeat? Write a letter to resign, begging bones.

Seeing Li Fu's resignation report, everyone was angry: Yo, don't you accept it, right? Who doesn't know, according to the unwritten rules of our state of etiquette, I sincerely resign three times! It's all old Chinese medicine, who are you fooling with this set of home remedies?

Keep scolding him!

Master Li Jingwu, who was like ashes, no longer paid attention to these scoldings, and every time his resignation report was rejected, he would write another copy and hand it in - six times in total!

When they received the third resignation, the officials stopped talking: Is it true that this old thing is daring? What the hell are you doing, don't you just count down a few words, you can't stand the grievances of serving the court, how can you serve the Ming Dynasty? What the hell! But if you scold in private, you can't mention this matter in the court anymore - if the saint comes up and says, "You can do it, you go up", then it will be the end of the calf.

The Son of Heaven was also stunned: who doesn't know the virtues of the officials? I'm not a fool, how can I believe their nonsense, Li Aiqing, don't take it seriously. The first few times I was warm and encouraging, and I kept Li Fu's report in the middle and did not send it. Lao Li is guilty of a temper, as long as the Holy Son of Heaven does not allow it, he will hand over another copy! When he saw Li Jingwu's sixth resignation, the Son of Heaven sighed: Alas, there is no way, Li Aiqing seems to be really cold and iron-hearted. It's not a way to keep going like this, right? Then he issued a holy decree and asked Li Jingwu to go to Nanjing to retire. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ershan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is known as a virtuous person, and his reputation in the DPRK and China is not bad, it is estimated that he will not be scolded so badly when he goes to Fuqian, so he will be asked to go to Guizhou.

Wang Ershan set off for Guizhou, preparing to take this trip to the troubled waters, and then ...... and put his life on the line. That's an afterword.

However, Li Jingwu didn't succeed this time, and someone stopped him.

Ahn Bangyan.

The Shuixi Army of An Bangyan is indeed inferior to the Yongning Army of Extravagant Chongming, but this Elder An (An Bangyan calls himself the Great Elder of the Four Descendants remembers) does not make a move, and it is much better than Extravagant Chongming: In just one month, Anshun, Bijie, Pingba, Longli, Weng'an, Biqiao, Pu'an, and Annam (now Qinglong, Guizhou, not Vietnam) ...... All places have fallen, and the troops of the Anxuan coalition army are pointing directly at Guiyang!

Li Jingwu can't leave now.

Actually, Li Jingwu didn't want to go.

An Bangyan knew that Lord Li was a good official, and the reason why he raised troops was mainly because of the general situation, and every tribe was a powder keg, and he had to rebel. However, An Bangyan still sent someone to find Lord Li in advance: Lord Li, you know that we are really forced to do so. At this moment, Guiyang is already a lonely city, Lord Li, you have spoken for us, you are a good person, leave quickly, we will not stop you.

If you were someone else, you might really be gone: anyway, the Holy Lord has already approved his resignation, and as long as he moves a little bit on the departure date, it will be difficult to be noticed. At this time, a very interesting thing happened "coincidentally": Guizhou's political envoy and the inspection envoy jointly returned to Beijing a few days ago to report on their work! Well, it is normal for the feudal officials to return to Beijing to report on their work, but it is not normal for the feudal division and the feudal division to leave at the same time...... At this time, leave at the same time...... Hehe, you say normal is not normal! But Li Jingwu was stubborn, and replied to An Bangyan with a righteous and awe-inspiring letter, and then stayed in Guiyang and began to command the defense: on the one hand, he sent an urgent report to the imperial court to ask for pay and food, and on the other hand, he borrowed money from Huguang. As a result, there was no news from the imperial court at once, let alone scolding, no one mentioned even a word of Guizhou, but Huguang was quite interesting, and he really sent 40,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stone grains over! Of course, there is also a bit of a subtext of "must block it for us".

Master Li is not simply stubborn, he still has two trump cards in his hand to deal with An Bangyan.

One is that there are two large army leaders in Guizhou Province, and the general Zhang Fang and the staff general Huang Yunqing are stationed in Zunyi and Tongren respectively. Especially in Zunyi, Banzhou Yang had just been assigned to Guizhou after the rebellion, and Zhang Fangping led his troops to be stationed there after the rebellion. Zhang Junmen's department is known to be quite capable of fighting, if Sun Jie and the elite of the nine sides are not counted, Zhang Junmen's team is a first-class strong army in the Ming Dynasty.

Another trump card is that Guiyang has 3,000 Zhenxiao (pronounced "Gan") soldiers. Zhenxiao is today's Phoenix in Hunan, which was also an ethnic minority area in the Ming Dynasty. However, because of the unique geographical location of Xiangxi, it belongs to the situation of Han low-level traders, Tunding and Miao people living together. Most of the soldiers are of mixed Chinese and Miao blood, and they are known as "Zhenxiao Miaozi", and they are very brave and good at fighting.

Li Jingwu Feiqi transferred Zhang and Huang Er generals to aid Guizhou, and personally led the soldiers and people of Guiyang to prepare for war.
