The Mengyangsi family launched an anti-Ming rebellion, and the Xibo, Manmo, Mengyang, Mengmi, Mengnai, Yanghui and other tribes all participated, and successively captured Ganya, Nandian, Tengyue (Tengchong), Lujiang, Yongchang (Baoshan) and other places.

In the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), the Donghu Kingdom attacked Si's Mengyang on a large scale, and the Ming Dynasty's official army attacked from the north.

Chen Yongbin, the governor of Yunnan, set up eight passes and nine passes to defend the border fortresses of Ganya Changguan (now Yingjiang), Longchuan and Ruili.

The eight passes are Kobe Pass, Wanren Pass, Boulder Pass, Tongbi Pass, Tiebi Pass, Huju Pass, Hanlong Pass, and Tianma Pass.

Yang Hu defrauded Sixue Hu's 5,000-strong army in the hilly area forty miles southwest of Tongbi Pass.

The Sixue Hutun soldiers were here, just to form a horn with the troops of the barbarian Mo Wu Bogang, and then the soldiers divided into two ways and attacked the eight passes at the same time.

Sixuehu's mission was to go north to capture Tongbi Pass, Tongbi Pass, Jushi Pass, and Wanren Pass, and open the passage to enter the Ganya Chief's lawsuit, hoping to repeat the story of the ancestors' plundering of Yongchang (now Baoshan).

It's a pity that the right-wing army led by Wu Bogang has just captured Tianma Pass, Hanlong Pass, and Huju Pass, and has not had time to coordinate with Neiying Yueying, and things have already had an accident.

Sixue Hu commanded 5,000 elite soldiers as the left army, and the battle to attack Tongbi Pass had not yet begun, and Yue Ying, who was the inner response, had been annihilated.

Because of Huang Yanying's sudden death, Huo Lianshan was angry and ordered his Western Route army to move south overnight, which was a mistaken decision, and it could be regarded as the will of heaven.

Huo Lianshan attacked crookedly, and the troops attacked in three ways, capturing Nankan City, Hanlong Pass, Tianma Pass and Manmo City, while also cutting off Sixuehu's back road.

Sixue Hu was forced to surrender because there was a copper wall pass in the north, and the city of Manmo in the south had been lost, and there was no room for maneuver. The only way to do this is to surrender to buy time for a buffer.

The only thing that the rebellious Yue Ying, Wu Bogang, and Si Xue Hu didn't expect was that the people who came to conquer and wanted to take their lives this time were not justified imperial court troops.

The armies of Wu Bogang and Sixue Hu of Meng Yang were destroyed one after another, and the rebellion that had plagued Meng Yang's Xuan Xuan Envoy for more than 100 years finally came to a complete end.

After the rebellion was quelled this time, the Xibo, Manmo, Mengyang, Mengmi, Mengnai, Yanghui and other tribes could no longer raise troops to rebel.

Yang Hu had Chen Zhichang, a young man, as his guide, and for seven days without sleep, two infantry battalions and one bird battalion swept across the entire northern valley of the Irrawaddy River in three ways, eradicating more than 1,900 people and destroying 179 families.

The results of these seven days were enormous, and more than 193,000 slaves were driven out of the mountains and dense forests, and all of them were concentrated in the vicinity of the city of Manmo.

Then, with Manmo City as the center, according to the original method in Wuding County and Yuanmou County, along the upper and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River for 120 miles, the Xintun sub-district management was re-established.

At this point, the first phase of the southern expedition of Huolian Mountain's Western Route Army ended.

More than 460,000 people of the Turkish population were captured, all of whom were slaves, and the composition was relatively good, which was easy to reform.

It has obtained a vast area with a depth of 700 miles from north to south and a width of 400 miles from east to west, and has a wide space for maneuver.

In short, the conditions for forming a rear base are basically met, and the next step should be replanning.

Together with their own army and immigrants from various industries, the main problem now is to completely solve the problem of feeding 500,000 people.

The problem of eating, in the final analysis, is a problem of farming methods.

The Irrawaddy River basin in the Manmo region is the most suitable for growing rice, and all the rice here is high-quality fragrant rice with high yields.

Chen Zhichang is right, the Tu people here are slaves, and they don't have the slightest initiative at all. For more than a thousand years, he has developed a lazy character, and without the supervision of the whip, no one will work at all.

Xiong Chu brought Zhang Yuxiu, the governor of Zhennan Province, to Manmo Town, a month after the overall situation had been decided.

Two years ago, Prince Xiong asked Zhang Yuxiu to transform all the academies in Zhennan Prefecture and Chuxiong Mansion into agricultural and mulberry training institutes, and extensively summarized the agricultural advantages of Jingdong Military and Civilian Mansion.

Terraced fields, manpower treadle water wheels to carry water gradingly, is the creation of the common people of Jingdong military and civilian government.

This time, Zhang Yuxiu specially brought more than 60 people as professors, in order to lead the emancipated slaves to build terraced rice fields on the high slopes on the east and west sides of the Irrawaddy River valley, and to plant fragrant rice as the primary crop.

Establish a collective labor method in the village, completely abolish the hunting lifestyle, strictly prohibit hunting in the mountains without permission, and change the historical bad habit of guarding the rice granary and starving.

In order to eliminate the ideology and living habits of slaves, Prince Xiong had to implement the most severe punishment system:

Those who fail to go to work on time will be punished with caning, and those who refuse to change their ways after three consecutive years of repeated education will be beheaded.

Anyone who goes into the mountains to hunt without authorization, or builds a shack in the mountains without authorization and lives alone from the village, will be beheaded.

In less than three months, more than 4,000 people, including men, women and children, have been beheaded, all of whom are hanging on the roadside of the village.

The rest of the people finally slowly "developed" the habit of living in a group in the village according to the regulations, understood what a family is, understood what responsibilities parents should bear, and also knew the basic way of life of getting up at dawn, sprinkling and sweeping, working at sunrise, and resting every day.

At this point, the people around the barbarians stepped from the slave society to the feudal society, knew the basic principles of the division of labor and cooperation among all social strata, and mastered the methods of normal economic transactions.

After listening to Zhang Yuxiu's three-month work report, Xiong Chu could only smile bitterly: "It's okay, it's a little simpler than raising pigs." I really don't understand, why is it so difficult to teach a person to follow the rules, and even have to kill people to do it?"

Zhang Yuxiu didn't think there was anything wrong: "Lord, this is a remote barbarian land, look at this neighborhood, people are so poor that they are dying, and the day is precarious, but the Buddhist temples and stupas are all resplendent and splendid, which is caused by the extremely polarized slavery system." ”

"There are only two things left of thousands of years of slavery: one is torture, which makes slaves dare not resist. One is religion, which makes slaves feel that it is providential to suffer in this life, which is the most typical religious foolishness. Buddhism is for those in power, and it is their fundamental purpose to fool the people of the world. ”

"Look at these splendid stupas and temples, how much slave blood and sweat does it take to do it? But the slave owners would rather build these useless things than improve the living conditions of their slaves. In this sense, those who believe in the Buddha will eventually die without a place to be buried. ”

"Now that the lord has come here, and has eliminated all the slave owners, the savior of the lowly slaves. Therefore, Xia Guan believes that the main task in the next step is to completely eradicate all stupas and temples, eliminate religious ignorance policies, and enable all civilians to strive for their own fairness and justice. ”

Xiong Chu nodded: "I am very much in favor of this. Within our sphere of influence, we will ban the filthy Red and Yellow Sects, carry forward our Taoist civilization, and educate the people of Li to cherish the present instead of pursuing the ethereal so-called afterlife. Life in the world, seize the day, down-to-earth, cherish today. ”

Zhang Yuxiu smiled slightly: "My lord, Xia Guan is the governor of Zhennan Province, and now this area is large enough, and one province will definitely not be able to manage it." Therefore, the lower officials considered it necessary to set up a separate province to administer this place. ”

"You can't go back!" Prince Xiong smiled: "Before launching the Southern Expedition Campaign, Miao Sanguan and Wan Lian and I had already agreed on it, and the governor of Zhennan Province handed it over to Sun Xueyi, the prefect of Chuxiong Mansion. As for you, hurry up and start preparing for the establishment of Namkan Province, and you will be the first governor. ”

Zhang Yuxiu also smiled: "At this point, Xia Guan has already been mentally prepared. The lord asked the subordinate officials to bring people over, and he already understood. What Xia Guan means is that it is necessary for us to follow the famous ancient precepts of our teachers in order to be able to better rule this region. ”

"It's a much larger area than the whole of Yunnan, and it can't function effectively without a strong authority. Because of this, if the lord does not make a decision, there will be more trouble in the future, and even chaos. ”

Xiong Chu nodded: "This question Miao Sanguan, Wan Lian, and Peng Wuying have already said. Things have come to this point, and it's completely unexpected. In that case, you should prepare slowly. ”

"Once the Ava Mission, the Diula Mission, the Eight Hundred Dadian Mission, the Laos Mission, and the Dagura Mission have been pacified in the south, I will officially be crowned king, are you satisfied?"

Zhang Yuxiu naturally left satisfied, but in fact, Xiong Chu's attention was not in this area at all.

What is the king and hegemon, these things are still far away from him, and he has not even thought about it.

Xiong Chu is a killer by training, and his principle has always been to care about what should be done in front of him, rather than wasting energy on those illusory issues.

Easier said than done, start now.

This is what the first master Xiaoyaozi said many times before his death, and it is also an ideological concept that has a far-reaching impact on Xiong Chu.

For example, now, Xiong Chu is most concerned about how things are going on in shipbuilding.

Since I saw the Jinsha River, the Yangtze River, and Dongting Lake, and now I have seen the Irrawaddy River, I heard that there is still the sea in the south, so Xiong Chu thinks that shipbuilding is the top priority, and everything else can be said later.

The use of fine teak for shipbuilding is also a completely new problem for those new shipbuilding families.

According to the results of everyone's discussion, as well as the drawings and materials obtained from Song Yingxing, three sea vessels that can go to sea are currently under construction at the same time.

Xiong Chu, accompanied by Huo Lianshan, went to the first dock, which was a dock five miles south of Manmo Town.

More than 100 craftsmen brought from Hengyang Wangfu are busy with more than 2,000 local Turkish carpenters.

Xiong Chu had already seen the grasshopper boats of the local Tu tribe on the river, that is, small boats that could carry six or seven people, and were said to be made by local carpenters.

However, the big guy that appeared in front of Xiong Chu was not an ordinary object, but a 2,000-material keel of a sea ship.

According to the chief of craftsmen, this is a replica of the Portuguese pointed bottom sea knot, but the size is enlarged by six times, and it is also the flagship command ship of the first fleet in the future.

This 2,000-material seagoing ship is constructed entirely of wood, with the hardest iron sandalwood keel, the hull on both sides of the keel made of rosewood, and the upper deck made of teak. With spade nails, iron nails, shovel nails, leech nails and other components, through guò guò various ship nails together, hanging curium, reinforcement together.

After completion, the overall shape is a small square head, wide flat stern building ship. In the middle of the main deck, there is a deckhouse with bulwark, three stern stern and two permeable transom in the bow.

It is divided into five levels, from the bilge to the deck.

The first and lowest layer is the ballast stone, which is used to stabilize the hull. The second, third and deck floors are equipped with seventy-two guns on the third floor, the fourth floor is the fleet commander, and the fifth floor is the lookout command building.

In terms of power design, a rigid sail structure was used, and the canopy surface was equipped with struts. Although this type of sail is heavier and more laborious to lift, it has a very high wind efficiency and increases the speed of the boat.

On both sides and stern, there are long oars with deep water depth, and the use of multi-person swinging is high. It can also maintain a considerable speed when there is no wind, and the wading area of the oar outside the ship is small, which is suitable for sailing in the crowded waters of narrow harbors.
