Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 295: Ping Guizhou, integrating suppression and pacification, politics is greater than military
"Can this oil only be used in the field of people's livelihood? What about war use?" Zhu Qiyu said.

There were cases of oil being used in wars during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and incendiary bombs were made in the Northern Song Dynasty to defend cities.

"What would happen if a bomb was made into a cannon, fired into a cannon, and exploded into a sea of ​​flames that could not be extinguished?"

"In other words, make it into fire bombs and use them in water battles."

"Previously, the ministers advised me that it is not a good thing if the soldiers and generals are too strong."

"What if the Ming generals turned their strength into the strength of their weapons?"

"The Ordnance Bureau manufactures various war equipment. Soldiers can be put on the battlefield after a few days of training. They don't need high war skills, and they can go to the battlefield alone."

"In that case, the military commander might disrupt the government?"

This is changing the shape of war.

From heavy soldiers to heavy equipment, soldiers have become consumables. This is the form of modern warfare.

The courtiers fell into deep thought. In fact, they had been restricting military generals since the Five Dynasties. The Song Dynasty even spent 200 years destroying the backbone of warriors, annihilating their thoughts, and turning China from a warlike nation into a nation with a thorough farming civilization and a resigned nation.

Peace is imprinted into the bones of every Chinese person.

But they don’t know how warlike the Chinese in the Han and Tang Dynasties were, opening up large territories, being heroic and powerful, and swallowing thousands of miles like tigers.

But starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty spent 200 years transforming the Han people. The Han people became content with being rich, submissive, and submissive.

Starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, they became blindly conservative, satisfied with the small and cramped territory, and used the idea of ​​​​the Celestial Kingdom to anesthetize themselves, indulging in fantasy and refusing to face reality.

In the final analysis, it was the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and the military chaos that frightened the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to consolidate their rule, they completely broke the backbone of the Chinese people!

The Northern Song Dynasty shattered all previous military structures, replaced the original military system with a command system, infinitely reduced the status of warriors, and turned the pioneering spirit into a conservative one.

Taking all precautions has turned the Han people into a submissive nation, a nation that forgets to forge ahead, is content with small wealth, and worships culture but abandons military force!

After more than 400 years in the Song and Song Dynasties, Han people's thinking was completely finalized.

Emperor Taizu rebuilt China and accepted everything according to orders. A wise man like Ge Yin would be more conducive to rule.

Even Emperor Taizu further transformed the Han people, tying them to the land and turning them into slaves for their families and the world.

The removal of the martial arts temple further reduced the status of warriors; at the same time, due to the dispute between the people and the emperor, Meng Sheng was almost kicked out of the Confucian Temple.

On the basis of the two Song Dynasties, Ming people were further transformed into slaves, full of slave ideas.

If this develops for 600 years, the Chinese will begin to feel inferior to themselves from the very core!Submissive inferiority complex!They may even have low self-esteem to the extreme, dwarfing themselves and never being able to stand up.

If you don't dare to hit others, you will only doubt yourself and flatter the strong and bully the weak.

He would even slander his ancestors.

But they don’t want to think about it. If their ancestors were all a group of cowards, a group of cowards with low self-esteem, and resigned wretches, where would the thousands of miles of territory come from?

Throughout the ages, which dynasty in China has been the most troubled in the world?Heroes are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Mighty kings, famous ministers and famous generals are the strongest existences in the world. Even if you look at any country in the world at the same time, a little scumbag can become the emperor.

Look at the Xiongnu, Turks, Mongols, and Xiliao who were driven away. Which one is not a domineering existence anywhere in the world?

But why did everything change after the two Song Dynasties?
why?
Because the rulers are eradicating the warlike nature of the Han people!
Substitute servility for humanity.

Zhu Qiyu wants to unleash the bloody nature of the Han people!Reproduce the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

He is not afraid of rebellion, because the world is too vast. As long as the territory is large enough, it is possible to defend the territory of thousands of miles.

What's more, as industrialization advances, the cost of rebellion will increase. As long as he controls industrialization, he will be invincible.

At least the land of China will no longer be in chaos.

"Your Majesty, with this small amount of oil, can we change the eternal problems?" Chen Wen said in a daze.

"can!"

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "As long as we thoroughly study petroleum, the situation of military generals disrupting government will no longer exist."

The courtier looked at the still burning kerosene lamp.

After burning for an hour and a half, the lamp oil did not lose much.

There is no unpleasant smell in the key hall. If oil is burned, the smell can make people vomit.

The courtiers were deep in thought.

"Okay, let's leave the Jingtai lanterns and road paving to Yao Qing. The others can leave for now, and Yao Qing will stay."

The courtier thanked him and left.

Yao Kui was thinking that if he wanted to complete the road construction in Beizhili within a year, he would probably have to recruit about 500 million people.

We have a lot of manpower, but the problem is that we don’t have oil.

There is one in Yumen. It may take several years to collect it from Yumen and transport it back.

The most important thing is that a large number of iron pots are needed to cook it. The Ming Dynasty was short of iron. Iron was needed for ordnance and folk farm tools. There were too many places to carry it.

Another question is, how much oil is there in Yumen? Is it enough to pave the road in Beizhili?
"What is Yao Qing thinking about?"

Yao Kui was slightly stunned and expressed his doubts.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Yao Qing, I'm just talking."

Hearing that the emperor seemed to have backed down, Yao Kui immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty, lamp oil and oil roads are the top priority. No matter how difficult it is, we must repair it!"

"Of course it needs to be fixed."

"You can set up a road construction bureau now and put it under the Ministry of Household Affairs for the time being."

"Send people to Yumen and Yan'an Prefecture to mine oil, and the oil mines are contracted to local wealthy households."

"Then we build a factory locally and hang it under the household department. We smelt it on the spot and refine it into lamp oil and asphalt. After the asphalt is completely cool, we ship it for transportation."

Because asphalt is solid, it is easier to transport than oil.

"Dreeze the rivers, connect the capital to the oil fields, and make full use of river transportation."

"There are not enough iron pots. I have sent people around to look for iron ore. There will be news in a few months."

Zhu Qiyu sent people to Anshan, Liaoning to look for iron ore.

Anshan Iron Mine is an open-pit iron mine. Although it is very deep, it should be discoverable with the technological level of this era. As for the difficulty of mining, it depends on the situation.

"It just so happens that the repair of the Yellow River has begun. Construction is starting at the source of the Yellow River. We can first dredge the waterway and shorten the distance to Beijing."

"If the output is huge, roads can be built in Yumen and Yan'an, and roads in the northwest must also be built!"

"Build the main road first, and then all roads in the world will be built!"

"I have money. This money is lying in the treasury. It is better to take it out and spend it and then take it back. This is called circulation."

Zhu Qiyu means, don't save money.

"Old minister, thank you for your majesty's comfort." Yao Kui saluted.

"Yao Qing, if you can build roads across the country, you can enter the Confucian Temple with this achievement!"

Zhu Qiyu had to hang a carrot for Yao Kui.

Yao Kui's eyes lit up.

"I will erect a monument for you to show your contribution in building roads!"

The great reputation of the kerosene lamp was swallowed up by the emperor, and the contribution of building the road was given to Yao Kui.

Click!

As he was talking, the kerosene lamp suddenly broke.

The lamp oil flowed out, and the flames burst into flames.

Feng Xiao stood in front of the emperor in horror and immediately asked someone to bring water!

“Never use water!”

Zhu Qiyu was startled. The kerosene lamp was not terrible if it was lit. If water was poured on it, the whole hall would be affected.

The carpet instantly caught fire, and the wooden furniture also burned.

The fire started to get bigger.

"Your Majesty, please move the palace." Yao Kui also stood in front of the emperor.

Feng Xiao was in a panic. Fei Fan didn't tell him how to put out the fire!

How to put out this fire?

"No problem, get some sand and use it to put out the fire!" Zhu Qiyu was quite calm.

Yao Kui was worried that something might happen to the emperor, so he asked the emperor to avoid danger.

The eunuch covered the flame with sand to cut off oxygen. It took a while before it was extinguished, emitting a pungent smell of black smoke.

"This glass is too brittle and will crack if burned. It's time to change to a better quality container and let Fei Fan develop baking-resistant glass. Let's use iron to hold the lamp oil first."

After a false alarm, Yao Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, if you use this to make a powerful fire oil, it will definitely help Governor Xiang to bring peace to Guizhou." Yao Kui said.

And in Guizhou.

After losing the first battle, Xiang Wenyao was quite discouraged.

Starting from the eighth year of Jingtai, the life of the generals improved, but as a result, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers plummeted, and they were even worse than before.

It has become a general trend to change the guard military household system to the recruitment system.

These former soldiers are all waiting to change their military status to civilian status and live a good life. Who wants to fight?

Their style of work was lazy and they ruined the soldiers they recruited.

Xiang Wenyao wanted to dismiss everyone in one go.

But he couldn't do this and disbanded directly. These newly recruited soldiers would become bandits. Guizhou's mountain roads were rugged and the land was full of chieftains. It was difficult to exterminate them. In addition, these military bandits were a headache for him.

Xiang Wenyao thought of many ways, but none of them were long-term solutions.

The imperial edict from the center has arrived.

A batch of fierce fire oil was also sent.

Fire oil uses petroleum and sulfur as base materials, supplemented by saltpeter, phosphorus, and gunpowder. It is placed in a sealed clay pot and thrown by a strong man.

This is an enhanced version of Fire Oil, named Fire Bomb by the emperor.

The fierce fire oil that was popular in the Song Dynasty was mostly used to defend and attack cities. A small flame was difficult to open up the situation, so this kind of thing has long been eliminated.

Therefore, the fierce fire oil developed by the Ordnance Bureau is different. Explosives are added to it. As long as it explodes when it hits a hard object, it will emit flames.

These fire bombs were shipped in pieces and were assembled by people from the Arms Bureau after arriving at Liping Mansion.

"This is a weapon for night fighting!" Xiang Wenyao said with emotion.

It was not until the fourth day of June that Tao Cheng arrived.

The reason for the late arrival was that the Guangxi soldiers were unwilling to fight.

Encountered the same dilemma as Xiang Wenyao.

There are too few soldiers in Guangxi who are willing to fight for the country. They are all willing to pay and have children, but they are not willing to go to the battlefield.

Fang Ying killed many people in Guangxi, and there was a small-scale mutiny among the Guangxi soldiers, but they were all suppressed.

Fight Mien, promote Michou.

Giving benefits to the soldiers turned out to be revenge!

Fang Ying killed a group of low-level officers and reorganized his army before forcefully recruiting 5 people into Guizhou led by Tao Cheng.

In order to reorganize the army, construction in Guangxi was suspended for two months.

As Guangxi enters the hot summer, construction work has to be suspended.

Fang Ying ordered to dismiss the peasants and workers and concentrate on reorganizing the army.

and implement the most stringent military laws.

The most difficult thing is that these Guangxi natives cannot be released yet. Once they are released to serve the people, they will harm the place and become bandits. How will they be eradicated then?

Guangxi encountered a problem and kept writing reports to the Central Committee, asking the Central Committee to solve it.

Xiang Wenyao discussed with Tao Cheng how to fight this battle.

Xiang Wenyao sighed: "The Military Discipline Department has a secret message that these Guangxi natives do not need to return to Guangxi. The cabinet will also order Governor Fang to increase the number of troops."

"Governor Xiang, what does this mean?" Tao Cheng was stunned.

"It's just that the jade and the stone will be destroyed together."

Xiang Wenyao whispered: "I will explain it to you first so that you can be mentally prepared. There is no need to skimp on military strength for this battle."

Gollum!

Tao Cheng swallowed his saliva. The Central Committee wanted the Guangxi barbarians and the Guizhou barbarians to merge, and the Han people would benefit.

When Guangxi soldiers disobey discipline and are consumed on the battlefield, their battle merits will be calculated normally, their battle rewards will be issued normally, and they will remain unnoticed. This is the best of both worlds.

"I have already said hello to Governor Han of Hunan. If I move in Guizhou, he will also move in Hunan to go deep into western Hunan to suppress the bandits."

Xiang Wenyao pointed to Jingzhou, Hunan, opposite Liping Mansion.

"Suppress simultaneously!"

Tao Cheng vaguely guessed that the wolf soldiers transferred from Guangxi to Hunan were also used for consumption, right?
"It's hot in Guizhou in June. We only fight at night. We don't move during the day and stay in bed at night."

Xiang Wenyao said: "I have bought a large number of mature seedlings and can lead the way for us."

Prepare in three days.

Tao Cheng led 6 Guangxi soldiers and [-] Guizhou soldiers, which combined into [-] people, marched into the mountains to annihilate the chieftains.

The first battle, starting from Kaitai, along the Liangjiang River, the first one is Tan Xisi.

The warships were all built in Nansanfu, Guizhou.

In addition to military rations, there were also a large amount of silver coins, silk, porcelain, cloth and other valuables on board. There were about hundreds of ships, all of which were treasures.

While driving, he also opened the silver coins and faced the sun so that the natives on the shore could see them.

Xiang Wenyao was not afraid of being robbed by Guangxi native soldiers, because these people had families and worries, and if they dared to rob things on the ship, their whole family would die.

Disembark at the shore.

Tao Cheng sent his troops to Tanxi Division.

Jin Yuka, a hereditary native official of Tan Xisi, has long been Chineseized. When he heard that the heavenly soldiers were coming to kill him, his first reaction was not to believe it.

He didn't know that the heavenly soldiers were really coming until they came to the mountain stronghold.

He immediately came up to him and talked with Tao Cheng in fluent Chinese. He actually wanted to join the heavenly soldiers and conquer the nearest Longli Division.

It is normal for chieftains to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

However, after the victory, the wealth was equally divided, and the territory and population belonged to the chieftains.

Jin Yuka thought his chance had come.

"Okay." Tao Cheng smiled strangely.

Tanxisi and Longlisi have been enemies for generations and have been constantly fighting against each other. Jinyuka thought he could annex Longlisi's territory.

puff!
However, the good dream is not over yet.

He saw his own cavity and fell to the ground.

A big head fell to the ground.

"Brothers, kill them all!"

Tao Cheng roared fiercely. He didn't need any servants at all, he just fought. Anyway, he didn't need to care about the life or death of the Guangxi soldiers.

The Guangxi soldiers fought to death and were no longer interested in fighting.

The wolf soldier turned into a good dog.

Because Daming had been raised so comfortably, with plenty of food in Annan, four or five wives, and having babies every day, his legs were weak.

Now that I have a son, a good life, and money at home, of course I don’t want to go to war.

"According to the first level, merit will be recorded!"

"Those who have failed will be beheaded on the spot!"

Tao Cheng yelled: "Those who have made great achievements, he will pick the women here first! He will take the wealth here first!"

The originally weak wolf soldiers immediately glowed with a fierce light.

One by one, they rushed into the stronghold like wolves and tigers.

Miao soldiers are also good at fighting.

The Guangxi soldiers met the Miao soldiers, and Guan Gong fought against Qin Qiong.

Guangxi soldiers are equipped with a full set of equipment, including waist swords, rattan shields, paper armor, plus a wolf spear. Those who are good at shooting are also equipped with a crossbow and a pot of arrows.

Ordinary soldiers do not have firecrackers, but have specialized firecrackers camps. In a battle that breaks out into a village, firecrackers are not as useful as wolf riflemen.

Miao soldiers are also very good at fighting, but they suffer from equipment.

The same wolves stabbed each other. The Guangxi soldiers had paper armor for defense, but they were poked into a hole.

Soon, a copycat was uprooted!
"Burned!"

After Tao Cheng collected the prisoners, he ordered them to be burned!
The reason why it is so awesome.

The Guangxi soldiers must see blood, otherwise this group of soldiers will be useless and unable to fight at all. Let's fight a small one first to appetize them and get them used to the life of conquest.

If we fight a big battle, these soldiers will defect immediately. We must fight small battles little by little, accumulate confidence, accumulate fierceness, and build military exploits with blood.

Then he led his army to the next mountain stronghold.

The mountainous mountains are dotted with various cottages.

Let the mature seedlings and captives lead the way.

Pick one village after another.

Tao Cheng didn't care about time, and Xiang Wenyao wasn't in a hurry. Why was he in a hurry?
It was a full eleven days in Tanxisi.

Only then did all the strongholds be leveled, and more than 4000 people were surrendered, including [-] women.

All shipped out.

The bloody Guangxi soldiers were all fierce and stubborn. They walked on the rugged mountain road without even complaining about being tired, carrying their wolf spears.

Military morale was gradually restored.

Longlisi has received news that Tanxisi's stronghold of nearly ten thousand people was razed by the Ming army. The people in Longlisi were excited and began to criticize the Ming Dynasty.

However, in an instant, troops came to the city.

Longlisi formed a stronghold to protect himself.

"Boom away!"

Tao Cheng asked people to roll out the heavy artillery and fire it at the village gate.

With a bang, the village gate was torn apart.

As a result, thick layers of stone were exposed.

From the top of the city came the roar of laughter from the natives of Longli.

"Damn it, is this a cottage or a city?"

Tao Cheng was stunned: "Attack the city!"

This city was built in a mountain stream. It looked like a stockade from the outside, but after breaking the wooden fence, I discovered that it was a stone city, a stone city built in a mountain stream.

The city wall is so thick and the terrain is so steep that there is no place to climb up.

shhhhhh!
Shoot arrows on the wall.

Some soldiers fell to the ground and screamed, the arrows are poisonous!
Tao Cheng had to withdraw his troops.

Set up camp twenty miles away.

Xiang Wenyao and Tao Cheng discussed: "Drive the prisoners away and attack the city."

"Most of them are women, so sending them to the city is also a good source of income."

Tao Cheng didn't mean well, but the woman was valuable and he sold it directly.

This is open corruption.

Xiang Wenyao glanced at him: "Don't treat your soldiers as fools. If you force them to attack the city, sooner or later you will lose the morale of the army. You will have no morale in the army. How can you lead the army?"

Tao Cheng was also a scholar and sighed slightly: "That's all, leave the woman behind and send the old and weak to attack the city and waste arrows."

"Don't kill too hard next time, save some to attack the next city!"

Tao Cheng spread his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know something, so I'll lure him with money and women, so that the officers and soldiers will be willing to help."

"These soldiers are exhausted and no longer dare to fight."

"If we hadn't let them massacre the city and let them see the blood, they would probably wet their pants."

"Don't you know that the massacre of the city will harm Tianhe? The problem is that these wolf soldiers only have wealth and women in mind, and nothing else."

Tao Cheng expressed helplessness.

Xiang Wenyao's eyes darkened: "If we don't reward them, won't they surrender to the enemy?"

Tao Cheng remained silent.

Isn't that what the warriors of the Five Dynasties were like? They asked for rewards before going to war, but if they didn't give them, they would defect.

"Consume it all!"

Xiang Wenyao's eyes were fierce: "It's okay if we don't raise such soldiers!"

The next evening.

Tao Cheng drove the captives to consume arrows.

Then send troops to attack the city.

After repeating this for several days, he was blocked in Longli Division.

"Such a small city is difficult to conquer. How can we defeat Guizhou?"

Tao Cheng said angrily: "Send orders to all armies!"

"Whoever enters the city first will own all the treasures in the city!"

"After he dies in battle, I will collect all the belongings and give them to his family!"

"His children are children who will be molded!"

"Never break your promise!" There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

That night, some warriors climbed up the city wall and threw a fire bomb into the city.

The flames exploded, and the kerosene burned the people's bodies and could not be extinguished. As a result, countless natives were burned and more than a dozen people died.

Two bombs were thrown in succession, and the morale of the city plummeted.

The soldiers behind successfully climbed up the city, opened the stone gate from the inside, and entered the city.

Let the soldiers slaughter the city and see blood.

No wonder this city cannot be blasted by cannons. It is built in a mountain crevice, and the stone at the city gate is one foot thick.

The first person to climb the wall was carried over.

He struggled to get up and knelt on the ground: "Sir, the little one climbed up!"

"After the wealth in this city is calculated, it will all be yours!"

Tao Cheng'an thought: "Did you see the silver coins on the official ship? If your colleagues take away your property, I will replenish you with silver coins!"

"I will keep my word and won't do anything wrong to you."

The Guangxi soldiers went into the city like crazy to rob them. Letting them take them out would be tantamount to forcing them to rebel. It would be better for Tao Cheng to make up for it.

"Thank you, Sir!" The man was very excited, but he was not very fluent in Chinese.

He knelt here and refused to leave.

"What else is there?" Tao Cheng asked him.

"Sir, the villain is seriously injured and cannot serve in the army anymore. He wants to be discharged and return to his fields and live his life at home."

Once you have achieved great merit, you no longer want to be a soldier.

Human nature.

"What's your name?" Tao Cheng asked him.

"The villain's name is Ou Qing."

This man should be Ou Xin's soldier.

When the natives changed their Chinese names, they would either use the place name as their surname or the general's surname as their surname, so a group of people with the surname Ou, Zhu, and Fang emerged in the army.

Tao Cheng helped him up: "Ou Qing, you are a warrior, a warrior who kills enemies and captures the flag."

"Although I am reluctant to let you go, since you want to leave, I will not keep you."

Upon hearing Tao Cheng's agreement, Ou Qingxi smiled brightly and was about to kowtow to thank him.

Tao Cheng changed the topic: "But have you ever thought about what you would do if you lost the protection of your official position and others robbed you of your money? Are you going to travel thousands of miles to come to me to express your grievances?"

Ou Qing was stunned, this...

"You should recuperate for the time being and think carefully. If you insist on leaving, I will never stop you."

Those who kill generals and seize flags are warriors.

Warriors also have a little cleverness.

Ou Qing knelt on the ground: "If the villain doesn't want these goods, what official position can the adult give the villain?"

Wolf soldiers are straightforward, which Tao Cheng appreciates very much.

"If I say reward, I will reward you. The money is yours."

Tao Cheng smiled and said: "As long as you stay in the army, you will be rewarded according to your merits and you will be promoted."

"Young man is willing to stay and serve in the army!" Ou Qing didn't want to leave.

Tao Cheng comforted him for a few words before letting him recover from his injuries.

Longlisi was captured.

Seven to eight thousand prisoners were collected, and the wealth was also calculated. There were about more than 2 taels of silver. According to the discount of silver coins, Tao Cheng directly rewarded Ou Qing.

True to his word, he established a good reputation among the soldiers in Guangxi.

As for the secret possession of Guangxi soldiers, he pretended not to know.

The military judge would also turn a blind eye and even out a batch of empty ships to store the loot for the general.

After a short rest, the troops entered the Xinhua Department.

When the Ming army arrived, the Xinhua chief official was kneeling on the ground begging for surrender.

Xiang Wenyao came forward in person.

He Naguan said: "Hand over everything in the Xinhua Division and return to the country. All the men will be organized into soldiers and join the army."

Baowengli, the local official of Xinhua, looked at Xiang Wenyao blankly: "Sir, why?"

He believed that he submitted to the Ming Dynasty and paid taxes every year with no loss or debt. Why should the Ming Dynasty soldiers deprive him of everything?

This is a rebellion forced by the government and the people!

"The rebellion of the pigs has aroused His Majesty's anger. The Emperor's power is unpredictable, so His Majesty wants to pacify the Liping Mansion to satisfy his hatred."

Xiang Wenyao said sternly: "Bao Wengli, if you take the initiative to beg for surrender, you can save the lives of your family."

"His Majesty has graciously granted you a residence in Guiyang, ten servants, a thousand silver coins, a bolt of silk, and four pieces of porcelain as reward for your return."

Rewards are given according to the territory. The territory in Baoweng is not large, so the rewards are not many.

Baowengli felt a little regretful. The worst he could do was fight a war. Why should he go to Guiyang to be a prisoner?

"If you don't want to, Tan Xisi and Longli Si will be the fate of your Xinhua Division."

Xiang Wenyao stood coldly: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, choose for yourself!"

These are the words spoken by a strong soldier and a strong horse.

Before, he attacked Guzhousi and came back defeated. At that time, he was as dejected as a bereaved dog.

"I am willing to surrender!" Baowengli kowtowed.

The Ming Dynasty soldiers' boats blocked the entire river, and there were probably tens of thousands of them. It would be too easy for these fully armed Ming soldiers to wipe out a mere mountain stronghold.

"Your heart is devoted to the Ming Dynasty, and you are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty."

Xiang Wenyao's tone was slightly gentle: "I have granted permission from the governor that all the goods in your village belong to you personally and will be shipped to Guiyang."

Baowengli's eyes suddenly widened!
You are hurting me!

Let me rob the tribe's belongings, make me be hated by the tribe members, and prevent me from rebelling in the future. This is a cruel move!

"My army can assist."

Xiang Wenyao was stationed in Xinhua Division for seven days.

During this period, some people in the Xinhua Division rebelled, and they suppressed them with heavy troops. Finally, they set fire to the mountains to scare the natives who crawled into the mountains.

After gathering a large number of natives from Xinhua Division, they forcibly carried them away to the north.

There are also natives who have gone into the mountains.

Xiang Wenyao didn't care, he burned the village and forced them to become primitive people.

Arrive at Ouyang Division.

Ouyang Siguan didn't want to surrender, and he didn't dare to fight the Ming army, so he simply went into the mountains. The huge stockade was empty.

This is the biggest problem in wiping out the natives of Guizhou.

The natives of Guizhou are hiding in the mountains and cannot be found.

Setting fire to the mountains is just a threat. To be effective, tens of thousands of tons of gasoline are needed, and airplanes are required to spray gasoline.

Tao Cheng said with a smile: "We also encountered this situation when we bid down the Guangxi Tusi."

"As long as they burn down their cottage and move on with their belongings, sooner or later they will come down and rob us for money."

Yes, this is the reason for swaggering through the market with hundreds of ships of goods.

Take your time and play slowly.

Xiang Wenyao ordered the stronghold to be burned down.

The soldiers entered Liangzhai.

Liangzhai also followed suit and went into the mountains.

The Ming army burned the stockade, and the army entered the nearest city, Tonggu Guard, to station.

A large amount of goods were transferred to ships and trucks and brought into Tongguwei.

It took three days to get the belongings in.

The natives in the forest were all drooling.

Tongguwei is not a county town, but like a county town, two urn cities are built, and the city is usually guarded by guardsmen.

The person in charge of the Wei Office was Qian Hu, his name was Lang Jin, and he was a mature young man.

Xiang Wenyao was worried about Lang Jin and asked Tao Cheng to take over the city defense.

The army waited for three full days before the natives stole the city.

Xiang Wenyao is not in a hurry. The court has shipped a batch of grain from Annan, which is enough for the army. He is really not in a hurry.

The Ming army pretended to be disadvantageous in defending the city, but the native offensive went smoothly.

Lure more natives to attack.

There was a battle at the city gate, and Xiang Wenyao and Tao Cheng were actually tasting economic theory.

Economic theory became even more popular.

Qiu Jun kept filling in the loopholes and wrote shocking articles one after another, letting the world see Qiu Jun's talent.

Of course, it is also thanks to Chen Xianzhang, whose rebuttal quoted from classics, forced Qiu Jun to be the strongest.

The two people racked their brains and debated.

More and more people are paying attention, and more and more people are participating.

Gradually it developed into a debate between the masters of Neo-Confucianism and the economics camp.

More and more literati joined the two camps and began to discuss it, and multiple branches were derived to check for each other's deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Economics is in the process of forming, improving, and forming a theoretical system.

"Lord Governor!"

Lang Jin hurriedly came in: "The urn city has been destroyed. Do you want to increase the garrison?"

"How many people are attacking the city?" Xiang Wenyao asked.

"Sir, there are only three to four thousand people."

"Keep waiting."

"But..." Lang Jin was worried that the city was broken.

"It's better if it's broken. More natives will come out of the mountains." Xiang Wenyao said with a smile.

After guarding for eleven days, the Bronze Drum Guard City was defeated.

The natives rushed into the city like crazy, looted property and massacred the Han people.

What awaited them was the sound of firecrackers.

The natives were instantly confused.

They were running outside like crazy, while those outside the city were still rushing in, creating a situation of blockage.

The Ming army's artillery soldiers pressed forward and kept firing.

And threw fire bombs into the crowd.

After the flames exploded, the natives cried for their fathers and mothers and trampled on each other.

There were actually people who kowtowed to the flames and were trampled to death without knowing it.

Bang bang bang!
Fire bombs exploded one after another, and the natives inside and outside the city were terrified.

Xiang Wenyao began to recruit troops to surrender.

Because the Ming army was also blocked in the city, there was no way to hide and kill them. Even though they had won a complete victory, some natives still fled back to the mountains.

Xiang Wenyao surrendered more than 7000 natives, and about half of them escaped.

Only a few hundred natives died.

The Tonggu Guards were ordered to renovate the city.

He led his troops northward to attack Chixi Division, the largest chieftain in the north of Liping Prefecture.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Chixi Nandong was placed under the jurisdiction of the Sizhou Appeasement Division. In this dynasty, it was changed to Chixi Nandong, which belonged to the Sizhou Xuanwei Division. In the 11th year of Yongle, it was changed to Xinhua Prefecture. Xinhua Prefecture was abolished at the end of Xuande. , come to belong.

The native official's surname was Yang, and he had meritorious service in conquest.

It was built by Emperor Taizong himself, and the Yang family paid tribute to the court every year.

Chixi has jurisdiction over Wangzhai, Maoping, Guigong, Denao, Ping'ao, Zhanghua, Pingqiu, Shiyin, Gaoba, Pisuo, Biji (Bidian), Huangmen, Xiaojiang, Miaobai and other fourteen counties. Village.

So when he heard that the heavenly soldiers were coming, the chieftain Yang Fu personally greeted them with a cane.

His father Yang Tongliang was one of the heroes of Emperor Taizong's pacification of the Sizhou Tian family. He replaced the original Wang family and became the chief of Chixi.

Yang Tongliang was also considered diligent in royal affairs. He was killed while fighting against Qiong Shui Chief for the court. In the first year of Hongxi, Yang Fu inherited the native official position and went to the court for pilgrimage in the [-]th year of Xuande.

Therefore, Yang Fu is not afraid of the Ming army.

The mighty boats came from the river and quickly occupied everyone's sight. Nearly a thousand boats passed through the narrow Liangjiang River, blocking the entire river.

Yang Fu felt a little frightened.

He knelt down on the ground and said, "Chief Yang Fu of Nandong Division in Chixi welcomes the heavenly soldiers!"

Xiang Wenyao was dressed in a red official robe, fighting on the bow of the ship, hunting in the wind.

Tao Cheng protected his left side.

Ruan Rang, the eunuch guarding Guizhou, stands on the right side of the bow.

"Yang Fu, do you know why Tianwei is here?" Xiang Wenyao said coldly.

"I don't know, my superior, please teach me!" Yang Fu was a student of the Imperial College. His father had meritorious service, so he was admitted to the Imperial College.So he is proficient in writing and calligraphy.

"I would like to ask you, Chixi Division, why did you, the Chixi Division, take in the remnants of the pigs' rebellion?"

So this is what happened?

Yang Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "Reporting to the governor, the subordinates did not take in the remnant soldiers, but captured them in the stronghold, hoping to hand them over to the governor in order to gain military merit."

Everyone did this, so why didn't you just turn a blind eye?

"It's been a year since the rebellion. Where are your military exploits?" Xiang Wenyao asked.

Yang Fu curled his lips, isn't this an excuse?
"My lord, please get off the boat first and go into the mansion to talk." Yang Fu planned to bribe Xiang Wenyao.

In fact, the Guizhou Guards Office has long been infiltrated into a sieve by various chieftains. After marrying each other, they became one with each other.

In fact, most of the officials who came to Guizhou were bribed by the chieftains. Some officials asked for bribes from the chieftains of Guizhou, but they were reported to the central government by the chieftains and lost face.

"The governor has [-] elite troops on board. Do you want the heavenly troops to enter the stronghold?"

Yang Fu was startled: "Master Governor, my father has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. When I was a young official, I studied in the Imperial College. When I returned to the village, I tried my best to Chineseize him. I am extremely loyal to Your Majesty."

"Your Excellency, please listen to the official's explanation for now. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation..."

Not finished.

Xiang Wenyao said calmly: "Yang Fu, you are a loyal minister, and I know it."

"Then I will give you two choices now. Obey the Ming Dynasty and return to the country. You can join Guiyang as an official and your family will be a hereditary military attaché. The central government will reward you with a large amount of wealth, enough for your family to spend a hundred years."

"The other way is to resist the heavenly soldiers and argue with them!"

Yang Fu's expression changed sharply. Was he completely broken?
Is Xiang Wenyao stupid?

Wouldn't a direct sneak attack be more effective?

The terrain of Guizhou and Guangxi is different. The terrain is high and full of mountains. You can't find them if you go in. It's better to fight openly and at least to capture more prisoners.

If this toast went straight into the mountains, he would never be found again.

"Can you make a decision?" Xiang Wenyao shouted sharply.

Yang Fu was educated.

He thought for a moment and figured out the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves.

The Ming army is powerful, but I, the chieftain, know the terrain better. If we say we can get into the mountains, we will get into the mountains. The Ming army can't find us at all.

In fact, the chieftain did not want the natives in the village to go into the mountains.

What the chieftain practiced was a replica of slavery.

They exploited the villagers more ruthlessly than anyone else. It is very likely that these villagers will not come out after they burrowed into the mountains.

"Please allow me to go back and discuss it with my family." Yang Fu would be hard to make a decision for a while.

"I'll give you one day, and I'll give you the answer tomorrow!"

Xiang Wenyao sent him away.

Then he organized the soldiers to get off the ship, and opened all the boxes containing treasures on the ship. Under the sun, the silver shone.

All kinds of treasures are dazzling.

There are also provisions for countless ships.

They are all treasures.

Xiang Wenyao Shi Shiran got off the boat and set up camp.

"Sir, why don't you lower your rank and send troops directly to kill them." Tao Cheng felt that this battle was too unpleasant.

"There's nothing we can do. We're not afraid of fighting, we're just afraid of them getting into the mountains."

Xiang Wenyao was helpless: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is well aware of the difficulty of suppressing the barbarians in Guizhou and has not set a time limit. Otherwise, you and I would have a headache."

This is the emperor's wisdom. It will take several years to completely wipe out Guizhou.

When Guizhou's elite troops are ready, they can directly dispatch troops to level Yunnan.

Yang Fu went back to discuss.

The next morning, meat was delivered to the Ming army.

Visit in person at noon.

"Master Governor, we Ming people don't tell secrets. What benefits can I, Chixi Division, get from joining the Ming Dynasty?" Yang Fu got straight to the point.

"There are many benefits."

"First, you, a hereditary military attache of the Yang family, will go to Guiyang to serve as an official. You will select a few smart children from your family to study in the martial arts hall."

"Secondly, Your Majesty will give your family a large house in Guiyang, and give your family [-] silver coins as a reward. In addition, all the belongings of your Chixi Division will be yours."

Xiang Wenyao's conditions made Yang Fu frown.

I am the local emperor in Chixi Division. I have fourteen villages in Chixi Division and command 4 people.

Are you going to use this to buy my land of hundreds of miles?
"Yang Fu, do you know the consequences of resisting the heavenly soldiers?"

Xiang Wenyao said calmly: "You should know that Guangxi was pacified in the eighth year of Jingtai, right?"

"Look at the Guangxi soldiers behind me. There are millions of such soldiers in the court!"

"Tell me, can these millions of people pacify your Chixi Division?"

Yang Fu's expression changed: "But I am a loyal minister."

"Since you are a loyal minister, how can you bargain?" Xiang Wenyao asked sternly.

Yang Fu shrank in fear.

"but."

Xiang Wenyao changed the subject: "You can fight for the court. Your Chixi Division has gathered ten thousand elite soldiers, and you will lead them to fight with the Ming army."

"You have changed from a local official to a military commander, and you can be awarded a title based on your military exploits."

"If you were granted the title of earl, wouldn't you be much better than a little barbarian like you?"

"You, a local emperor, don't feel comfortable being sandwiched between Tianzhu Chieftain and Qiong Shui?"

"This governor is trying to save you."

Yang Fu's life was really uncomfortable.

Why was Chixi Chieftain so respectful? It was because Chixi Chieftain was sandwiched between two big chieftains and had to cooperate with Ming Dynasty, so he was respectful.

As long as a corner is broken and Yang Fugong is not submissive, he will immediately fall out.

"If a low-ranking official returns to the Ming Dynasty, what official position will he be granted?" Yang Fu asked.

"Commander."

Only the commander?

Yang Fu was very dissatisfied with this official position. Although the commander of the Wei Command Department was a third-grade official, the problem was that there were too many of them in Miao territory.

The chief officer of the Tonggu Guard should be the commander, but now Qianhu takes his place.

Such health centers are found all over Miao territory.

"The commander of the third grade is still not satisfied?"

Xiang Wenyao said: "Do you think he is the commander of the Guard Command Department? This is the commander who leads the troops to fight. According to the rules, you have three thousand households under your command, and you have at least three thousand troops."

"This governor allows you to command ten thousand troops, and your official position is already as deputy commander-in-chief."

"With these 1 people, can't you even earn a count?"

Xiang Wenyao said: "I, the governor, will tell you again that your majesty has an order to pacify Guizhou and does not allow the existence of chieftains. How many military exploits do you think you will have waiting for you ahead?"

Yang Fu's expression changed, and he was about to ask why?

Xiang Wenyao shook his head and stared at him.

Yang Fu thought in various ways, and finally knelt on the ground: "I am willing to surrender!"

Chixi is a very important place.

Sandwiched between three toasts, collapse it and the other three toasts can be conquered!
