Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 735 Wenzhi is my major
Although Tsinghua City is Li Li's hometown and the current nest of the Hou Li Dynasty, this city is not that big, at most it is only two Xinzheng counties in size.

Before Gao Yushi's army entered the city, he first informed Cen Huang's two wolf soldiers and Mo Chao's surrender army as the Guangxi patrol censor, saying that he would calculate the rewards for military achievements and that he would not enter the city without authorization.

The chieftains of Cen and Huang also restrained the wolf soldiers, saying that Qinghua and Waiqinghua might be the places where their two families paid for their contributions. Wolf soldiers, hold on to your morale.

The lower-level soldiers of the Mo army were a little unhappy about this, thinking that the Zheng family was their archenemy, and now that they were defeated, they were about to settle their old enemies.However, the senior officials of the Mo army were quite in favor of this. The two generals, Mo Yulin and Ruan Juan, said: Duke Gao wants to be Huang Shangshu, and this is the blessing of Annan Wanshi.

The "Huang Shangshu" mentioned by Mo Yulin and Ruan Juan was Huang Fu, the Jiaozhi chief envoy and envoy of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle Dynasty.

During Huang Fu's stay in Jiaozhi, in addition to doing his best to "compile the registration of the people, set taxes, establish schools, install officials and teachers" and other daily administrative work, he also "called the fathers and elders several times to proclaim virtue, and abstain from subordinates and officials not to harass them harshly." ", especially resolutely resisted and fought against some powerful figures who harassed the people and caused local chaos.The most typical example is the struggle with the eunuch Ma Qi.

In the 15th year of Yongle, Zhongguan Ma Qi went to Jiaozhi in the name of guarding and supervising the army.He stipulated that Jiaozhi must have [-] tribute fans and [-] emerald feathers every year, and took the opportunity to plunder and rob folk treasures and antiques. According to historical records, "Qi is violent and cruel, and it is painful for others. Four or five cases of interrogation within three years."

Due to the sudden change of Ma Qi, the situation in Jiaozhi became severe again for a while.In addition to assisting the Cochin general Fengcheng Hou Li Bin to put down the rebellion, and focusing on Li Li, who is the most powerful, Huang Fu also actively took measures to appease the people, evaluating Ma Qi's behavior of favoring and abusing the people. It was Chengzu's cronies, eunuchs, who succumbed, but resisted and fought resolutely.

The struggle between Huang Fu and Ma Qi played a great role in reducing the burden on the people and alleviating the unstable situation in Jiaozhi that was intensified by Ma Qi's plunder.Because of Huang Fu's resistance, Ma Saomin's actions were difficult to fully succeed. He couldn't help hating Huang Fu, and wrote to Ming Chengzu, "False Fu has different ambitions." But because Chengzu knew Huang Fu very well, Ma Qi framed failed.

Under the combined use of Huang Fu and Li Binenwei, the rebellion of Li Li and others was also suppressed for a while.By the time Renzong ascended the throne and recalled Huang Fu in the 22nd year of Yongle, Li Li had been defeated and fled to Laos, and the threat was once eliminated.

In the 18th year of Jiaozhi, Huang Fu was considered as "regarding the people like children, laboring and punishing injuries, and every prefecture and city official repaired the government. The newly created state, the government orders, and the rules and regulations, no matter how big or small, pay attention to it."His actions were highly praised by the people of Annan, and he was loved by all classes in Cochin. When he was about to return to China, he "gives someone to help him and sees him off, and weeps and can't bear to say goodbye."

Not long after Huang Fu left Jiaozhi, the eunuch Shanshou came to power, and the disputes among the upper-level officials of Jiaozhi became increasingly fierce.

Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of, Li Li led his people to return to Jiaozhi from Laos in an attempt to make a comeback.When the enemy is approaching, the civil and military officials in Jiaozhi cannot act in a unified manner.

Although Chen Qia served as Minister of the Ministry of War, concurrently as a secretary, and as a second officer, he was unable to save the situation. He asked Chen Zhi, the general who conquered the barbarians, Fang Zheng, the commander-in-chief, and Shan Shou, the commander-in-chief of the middle officer, to join forces to destroy Li Li, but none of the three listened. He dispatches.

Shan Shouyuan had a good relationship with Li Li, and he wanted to take care of him, but when Li Li attacked the city and plundered the village, he did not go to rescue Li Li.Although Chen Zhi was a military general, he "had no strategy for generals and was afraid of thieves. Because he used caresses to fool the Chinese court, and made a note with Fang Zheng, he stopped his troops and did not advance, and the thieves had nothing to fear."Fang Zheng is brave and intrepid, and he and Chen Zhi are incompatible with each other and do not cooperate with each other, so they fight and fail repeatedly.As a result, Li Li's power has grown, and he has occupied more and more territories.

Chen Qia had no choice but to ask the imperial court for help, but Wang Tong, the general sent by the imperial court to conquer Yi, was also mediocre.Since then, he has been depressed, "defeated in the first battle, lost all courage, acted perversely, disobeyed the order of the court, arbitrarily cut off the land south of Qinghua and the thieves, and withdrew all the officials, soldiers and civilians and returned them to Dongguan."He also negotiated peace with Li Li in private, which greatly affected the morale of the Ming army.

Another general, Liu Sheng, underestimated the enemy too much, and died in ambush as soon as he entered Jiaozhi.At this critical moment, the officials of the chief inspector of Jiaozhi had to jointly petition the court, asking Huang Fu to return to Jiaozhi to take power. , to comfort the people."

Xuanzong then summoned Huang Fu and said: "Qing Hui loves to make friends with you for a long time, and when you make friends with you, you will miss Qing, so we will do it again."He is still the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhan Shi, and leads the second secretary.Huang Fu was ordered to face danger for the second time, and went to Jiaozhi again.

But when Huang Fu arrived in Annan in September of the year of Xuande, the situation in Jiaozhi had already undergone a mutiny.Emperor Xuanzong was about to end the Cochin War, part of the Ming army had withdrawn from Cochin, and most of Cochin was under the control of Li Li.

This history book says: "Bi Zhi, Liu Sheng was defeated and died, and Fu went back to Jiling Pass. He was held by a thief and wanted to commit suicide. The thief Luo bowed down and cried: "Gong, the parents of the people, if you don't go, I will not come here (Wufeng Note: This passage means "Mr. is the parent official of the people of Cochin. If Mr. does not leave, I will not wait here."). "Hold on.

Li Liwen said: "China sends officials to govern Jiaozhi, so that everyone is like Huang Shangshu. How can I be against me!"As far as Longzhou, take all the officials left behind.

Huang Fu turned the crisis into safety this time, mainly due to his great prestige in the hearts of the people of Cochin, and even the enemies admire him extremely.Moreover, at the critical moment of life and death, Huang Fu also showed the awe-inspiring and unyielding integrity of a civil servant in the Celestial Dynasty.When he failed to commit suicide, he "reprimanded and ordered obedience" to the Jiaozhi man who captured him, but the Annan thieves sent him away crying.

After he returned to the country, he immediately took the gifts given to him by the Jiaozhi people and "take all the officials who left behind".It can be said that no matter which aspect, he has achieved perfection.

Now Mo Yulin and Ruan Juan call their highly pragmatic behavior "wanting to be Huang Shangshu", which is obviously a very high praise.

Gao Yushi knew very well that he definitely did not come to be Huang Fu, but he might as well use the admiration and nostalgia for Huang Fu from Annan people to make some articles.

Therefore, when Cen Ling arrived on the second day, and before the army entered Qinghua, he announced in a high-spirited and high-profile manner that the southern expedition against Li and Zheng was to seek thieves from heaven, and that tomorrow's soldiers will not conscript one meter, nor will they take a single penny." Except for Li Ni, Zheng Ni and those who attached to the rebellion, Daming will not confiscate a penny or an acre of land from the people in Annan, and will also help the Annan Metropolitan Division to register in Annan, assign land taxes, develop schools, and buy new ones. Officials, water conservancy repairs, mining...

In a word, with the "assistance" of his high office, the Annan Metropolitan Commander will implement a lot of measures to benefit the people and benefit the people, and at the same time, it will also give "non-rebellious" literati tyrants the hope of becoming an official.

Compared with the military, who only knows how to forge a stronghold and fight dull battles, Gao Yu is much more sophisticated in terms of civil governance. A three-chapter agreement distinguishes Li Ni, Zheng Ni, and the rebels who belonged to the rebels from the "broad masses of the people". Faithfully implemented the Red Dynasty's political concept of "uniting the majority and attacking the small group".

Well, in terms of head count, this must be a small group, but Gao Yushi is like a mirror in his heart. What he is doing now is still hunting local tyrants and dividing the land. The Li family is the "royal family", and the Zheng family is like the later shoguns. Killing them is much more cost-effective than confiscating [-] Annan people. In addition, the so-called "rebellious" all depends on Gao Yushi. Hurry up to grab food from those ordinary Annan people?
So, amidst the jubilation and singing regardless of the enemy or ourselves, Gao Yushi led the army and marched into Qinghua City.
