Chapter 53: Red Plains Part III

After playing a prank, Zhao Ran felt a little relieved in his heart, and easily returned to the commission. It's a pity that if he wants to fight in the jungle of the Ten Directions of Daomen, he can't be happy for the time being, so he can only endure it.

The contradiction between him and Dong Zhikun is open and transparent, and this matter is not only known to the people of the Daomen and Ten Jungles of the entire Long'an Mansion, but also to many Taoist temples in the surrounding Baoning Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion, and Metropolitan Mansion, and even the high-level of Xuanyuan Temple have heard of it.

Zhao Ran really wanted to find a dark corner to beat these two people thousands of times or simply let them disappear into the world, but if he really did this, he would have to be ready to retreat from the system of the Ten Directions Jungle.

Song Zhiyuan had woken up from his hangover and was chatting with visitors in his room. Seeing Zhao Ran coming to the door, Song Zhiyuan snorted, pointed at Zhao Ran's nose, and said hatefully: "You are really calm! I heard Zhixing say that you arrived late at night last night, if you are half a day late, I will see how you end!"

Zhao Ran hurriedly smiled: "The prison forgives the crime, the prison forgives the crime, the junior brother came late, but the prison is worried." ”

After Song Zhiyuan became angry, he said to Zhao Ran: "Come and see the 6 prisons of Jingshou Palace in the capital." ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly went over: "Xiaodao has seen the 6th prison courtyard. ”

Song Zhiyuan introduced to the middle-aged Taoist priest on the side: "This is Zhao Zhiran, Junshan Temple Zhu." When I was patrolling Wuji Temple, I was under my hands, and I watched him start from the broom, and in eight years, he became the temple of Junshan. ”

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "If it weren't for Senior Brother Patrol's support all the way, I might still be sweeping now." ”

6 The prison said with a smile: "It's really terrifying, I am at your age, and I still chant scriptures in the scripture hall every day, thinking every day about how to pass the next month's assessment." ”

The three of them laughed, talked for a while, and then the 6th prison took their leave.

After the 6th prison left, Song Zhiyuan said: "This 6th prison is from Kuizhou Qingyang Palace, and later worked as the Jingtang Jingzhu in Xuanyuanguan, and I got along well when I went to Xuanyuanguan." He went to the capital three years ago, served as the high merit of Jingshou Palace, and took up the post of capital lecturer the year before last. Last year, Jingshou Gong Yun Lao Prison retired when he was old, and Xuan Yuanguan retained him as an abbot, and he was promoted to prison. ”

Zhao Ran knew that the Jingshou Palace in the capital was relied on by the Xuanyuan Temple, and the prison of the Jingshou Palace had a great say in the entire Sichuan Province. Xuanyuanguan's prison Li Yunhe and the capital manager Zhao Yunlou once served as the prison of Jingshou Palace in the capital.

Song Zhiyuan said: "This 6th prison is still very straightforward, you can be close and close when you have time." ”

This is to pave the way for Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran is full of promises. When Song Zhiyuan was patrolling, he promoted Zhao Ran and had a bit of utilitarianism, such as helping his niece Song Yuqiao re-enter the school, and making an exchange for himself as the supervisor of Wuji Academy. But after the sinking of Zhang Yunzhao, he is now sitting in a high position in the prison of Yuyang Palace in Baoning Mansion, and his mentality is no longer the same as back then.

He knew that with his age, he could achieve this position, and there was no possibility of going to the next level, so he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Zhao Ran and Zhao Zhixing would be able to come out and take care of the Song family in the future. Among the two, of course, he values Zhao Ran more.

Zhao Ran asked about the content of this big meeting, and Song Zhiyuan knew everything. He had just come out of the high position of Xuanyuan Temple, and he knew a lot about the inside story.

In addition to rewarding merit and punishing culpability, one of the most important aspects of the meeting was the discussion of how the newly occupied large tracts of land west of Mount White Horse could be brought under the Ming Dynasty.

There are three Xia Kingdom walled cities in Longbai, Chama and Xiaohe on this land, and the surrounding area is a rare red plain grassland, which is a good place to raise military horses. According to the original practice of the Ming Dynasty, a guard or a thousand households will be set up in a newly occupied place, and the military household establishment will be implemented, and the whole can be included in the Song Domain.

The Song Domain Guard is a war zone, which is actually the general name of the Ming Dynasty for the many front-line guards set up in this war zone, which does not exist in the establishment of the court. Perhaps in the future, a real Song Domain Guard may be set up to govern it, but these guards are not uniformly regulated in form at present, and they are all controlled by the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan.

But in this Battle of White Horse Mountain, the reason why the Ming army was able to achieve victory was that there was a key factor that played a role in it - internal response. This should not be sent by the Ming Dynasty, but from the above three villages.

In addition to the eight departments, there are many descendants of feudal people and mountain people in many areas, forming large and small tribal groups, and the Tusi system is implemented, and the Tusi manages the local tribesmen by themselves.

The Battle of White Horse Mountain, which lasted for eight years, really tossed the Xia Kingdom a lot, and it was able to maintain the offensive in the first few years, but later, it was only barely maintained, and it was already weak, without him, the consumption was too huge.

Especially since the end of the previous year, a lot of logistics can not keep up, so the tens of thousands of Xia troops stationed around Baima Mountain began to plague the surrounding tribes and mountain people, especially the above-mentioned three villages suffered the most.

Sanzhai, who suffered a lot, endured it for a year, and couldn't bear it, so Longbai Toast, Chama Toast and Xiaohe Toast gathered together to reach a secret agreement and decided to surrender to Daming. After two months of tug-of-war negotiations with the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan and the Daomen Promotion Office, a secret agreement was finally reached to accept the Ming army's occupation of Baima Mountain.

With the consent of the Lushan General View and the Nanjing Cabinet, the Governor's Office and the Promotion and Dispatch Department agreed to the conditions of the three ministries, allowing the three ministries to continue to govern themselves after returning to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time expelling Buddhist temples and rebuilding Taoist temples.

Now that Baima Mountain has won a complete victory, the Ming army has been stationed on the front line of the White River and confronted the Xia army across the river. The White River is a turbulent river, known as a natural hazard, and it is difficult to overcome for a while. To tell the truth, the southern front battlefield with the Xia State is basically no longer able to fight, not only the Xia State is tired, but the southwestern provinces of the Ming Dynasty that have supported the war for eight years are also exhausted.

The meaning of the Lushan General View and the Nanjing Cabinet is that the war will end here for the time being, and the future will be planned after consolidation.

So, now the question is, how should the newly occupied Hongyuan grassland and Longbai, Chama, and Xiaohe be managed?

On this issue, the Lushan General View and the Nanjing Cabinet did not reach a resolution, and they quarreled over it for more than half a month.

There are different opinions, some moderate and some radical, and they are basically divided into two factions.

The first is to follow the original promise, let the three ministries be autonomous, and only send Taoist priests from the Daomen to settle in the three ministries to spread the blessings of the three ministries and urge the people of the three ministries to convert.

The second is to tear up the original agreement, forcibly disband the Tusi, change the land and return it to the stream, organize military households, and set up guard posts to exercise military management.

The two opinions are inseparable, each has its own reason, and it is impossible to say that it is wrong to look left and right. The general view and the cabinet could not form a unified resolution, so they simply threw it to Xuanyuanguan, the Western Sichuan Governor's Office, and the Daomen Promotion Office, asking them to give advice firstβ€”after all, this place will still be managed by Sichuan Province in the future.

Therefore, at this great meeting, Xuanyuanguan is ready to solicit the opinions of all parties in the palace for consultation. ()
