Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 396 Governor Sichuan and Guizhou

"And the most dangerous thing is actually the Shuixi Xuanfu Division, which took advantage of the rebellious She Chongming tribe to cause chaos in eastern Sichuan and captured Chishui and Bijie Guards!!"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Wang Xiangqian had a solemn expression and said in a low tone: "The above-mentioned land was occupied by Shuixi. Even though the terrains under the control of Yongning and Shuixi are complicated, the two areas are connected into one, just like Qin Liangyu The urgent report submitted is true, and the imperial court should dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, if Yongning and Shuixi really merge completely, there will be chaos at the intersection of Sichuan and Guizhou. Once the two armies launch an offensive to the west or east, Xuzhou, Wumeng, Zhenxiong and other places in Sichuan will be destroyed. There are losses in Punan, Annanwei and other places, and the chieftains under the rule of Sichuan and Gui, anyone with ideas will take advantage of the chaos and rise up!!"

This is the disaster of the chieftain!

Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists tightly, although under his planning and deployment, Qin Liangyu recruited a large number of brave men in Shizhu to prevent important places like Chongqing Mansion from falling into the hands of She Chongming's troops like the original timeline.

However, for Sichuan and Guizhou and other places in the southwest, some established phenomena are difficult to change by personal will. The conflicts between officials and chieftains have been going on for a long time, not to mention the situation in the entire southwest region is far more complicated than in later generations.

To put it bluntly, even if Qin Liangyu can fight hard and kill She Chongming's troops, the actual problems in the southwest region have not been solved, and there will still be rebellions by Zhao Sheming, Qian Sheming, Sun Sheming, and Yang Yinglong. , the reason why the She'an Rebellion broke out and spread across the southwest was that the central control was not strong enough, the area was too barren, and the exploitation was too serious.

How did She Chongming and An Bangyan get together?

This is what Zhu Youxiao is considering.

He did not expect that An Bangyan would participate in this rebellion in advance. According to the original timeline, it was at the beginning of the second year of Tianqi that he saw the She Chongming tribe sweeping through eastern Sichuan. In the name of aiding Sichuan, he led 2 troops to Bijie and took advantage of the chaos.

But now everything is in chaos!

Another thorny issue! !

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the urgent report submitted by Qin Liangyu is true or false, the imperial court should respond."

Zhu Guozuo, the chief minister of the cabinet who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and said: "There must be no chaos in Sichuan and Guizhou. If She'an really takes advantage of the situation to rebel, and the court cannot suppress it quickly, then the entire southwest will be in chaos. I think..."

"Substitute someone else!"

Before Zhu Guozuo finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao interrupted, "In view of the current complicated situation in Sichuan and Guizhou, I have decided to promote Zhu Xieyuan to the position of governor of Sichuan and Guizhou. The governor of Sichuan and Guizhou and other places will oversee military affairs, food and salary, and grant royal orders." The flag indicates that he is solely responsible for the Sichuan-Gui rebellion!"

"!!!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Zhu Guozuo, Qian Qianyi, Sun Ruyou and other cabinet ministers all showed expressions of surprise. It is taboo to change commanders before a battle.

What's more, who is Zhu Xieyuan?

Some cabinet ministers don’t know much.

However, there are also some familiar ones, such as Qunfu Bi Ziyan, who is currently the governor of Sichuan Province. He jumped from this position to the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou. This span is really too big.

Governor-General of Sichuan and Guizhou, he is a proper official of the border region!

"Your Majesty, think twice!!"

"Your Majesty, you should be careful about this matter..."

After a short silence, several voices sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion, but Zhu Youxiao at that time simply couldn't listen to these advices.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao's intention was to promote Zhu Xieyuan to the position of governor of Sichuan, but She'an unexpectedly merged with him in advance, which forced Zhu Youxiao to make a decision.

Zhu Youxiao was well aware of Zhu Xieyuan's talent.

If we want to quickly solve the rebellion of the southwest chieftains, we can only rely on this person to solve it. Moreover, this person is informal and broad-minded. Only when Zhu Xieyuan becomes the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou can we reuse generals who can fight, such as the heroine Qin Liangyu. This is The key!

Even though Zhu Youxiao had rarely mentioned Sichuan and Gui matters before this, he had been planning possible changes before this.

Facts have proved that what Zhu Youxiao did was right! "enough!!!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "I haven't finished speaking yet. If such chaos happens in Sichuan and Guizhou, someone in Sichuan and Guizhou must be responsible for it!!"

"Both the governors of Sichuan and Guizhou!!"

"Shi Yong'an, the Assistant Manager of the Rongzheng of the Jingying Camp, will be immediately appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu will be appointed as the admiral of Sichuan, Wang Sanshan will be appointed as the governor of Guizhou immediately, and Lu Qin, the deputy general of the Shenji Camp, will be appointed as the admiral of Guizhou!"

"On the day this edict was promulgated, Lu Qin selected a group of elites from the three major battalions. The chief minister urgently allocated armaments and set off to Guizhou as soon as possible to organize military affairs!!"

Following Qin Liangyu's mission to recruit brave men from Shizhu, Zhu Youxiao sent another general Lu Qin to Guizhou. This man was equally talented and was known as the top general among the southwest generals!

Zhu Youxiao had previously thought of keeping Lu Qin in the Shenji camp and letting him participate in the reorganization of the Beijing camp, but now it seems that this idea is a luxury.

Although Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone else, it is a big taboo to rashly replace so many local high-level officials in such a chaotic situation. If nothing else, just getting familiar with local conditions and local military affairs will take time. of.

But since things have changed and She'an has joined forces in advance, we must be fierce. Taking advantage of the southwest rebellion, we must not only solve the rebellion problem, but also prepare for the dismantling of the guard station in the future and continue to try out the plan of reforming the country and returning to exile. potential.

crazy!

The emperor is crazy!

At this moment, some cabinet ministers all had this idea in their minds. Even Wang Xiangqian, who knew military affairs, Bi Ziyan, who knew finance, and even Sun Chengzong, felt uneasy about the emperor's decision.

"His Majesty!!"

"His Majesty!!"

Several voices sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion.

"This is not a discussion with you, but a decision!!"

However, Zhu Youxiao slapped the case and shouted: "If the cabinet clearly issues an edict, then this matter will be like this. If the cabinet wants to object, then I will issue the edict!!"

"Come here!! Call all the officials from the Military Affairs Council to me. From today on, the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains will be handled by the Military Affairs Council!!"

After Jianlu's counterinsurgency was undertaken by the Military Affairs Council, due to the influence of the southwestern chieftain rebellion, the Military Affairs Council will have one more department. The suppression of the rebellion is by no means a simple frontline dispatch of troops. It involves military affairs transmission, logistics support and other matters. Dare there be any If anything goes wrong in one step, it may lead to errors in frontline suppression.

The southwest region of the Ming Dynasty is more than two thousand miles away from the capital, which is nearly twice as far away from the capital as Liaodong. Zhu Youxiao does not worry about others interfering. He must take charge of the matter personally.

Even if you are a good logistics manager, it is better than leaving everything to others.

As for remote control, Zhu Youxiao would definitely not do it.

The southwest is too far from the capital, and there are no convenient communication facilities in later generations, and the transportation facilities are not as good as later generations. This trip may take a month, or even longer.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must select a group of trustworthy civil and military personnel and directly promote them to key positions. Even if there will be delays in countering the rebellion in the early stage, these losses are worth it for the overall stable battle situation!

Under this special situation, Zhu Youxiao no longer cares about the impact his decision will have on the court. He still has many deployments to make, not to mention that even if he deploys troops and horses to rush to Sichuan and Guizhou, This also takes time, not to mention the money and food supplies required during the march!
