Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 549 Building a Garrison
"This matter needs to be resolved. The expenses involved in suppressing the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou are not low. If this war lasts for another year and a half, it can be overcome by gritting one's teeth. But if there are changes, and the fight lasts for three to five years, the internal money will be lost. No matter how wealthy you are, you can’t survive.”

The emperor's words attracted Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan, and Zhang Kentang's approval.

In fact, what Zhang Kentang said just now is also the consensus reached by the Military Council. Sichuan and Gui's internal financial support cannot continue like this.

This is not just because of what the young master said.

The Military Administration is more based on the actual situation, such as the rebellion in Liaodong and the strong intervention of the nine sides. These are also happening, and a lot of money and food are consumed in the above-mentioned areas.

If something new happens to the Ming Dynasty during this period, if the national treasury cannot support it, it will be supported by internal funds, which will be overwhelming.

We need to put pressure on Sichuan and Guizhou!

This is the consensus of the Military Academy.

Not to mention anything else, the opinions of Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu are the main factors in Sichuan Guiyang's suppression of the rebellion. The previous battles were fought well, but the pressure should also be given. Sichuan Guiyang's suppression of the rebellion cannot be delayed, nor should it be delayed Sorry.

Daming has learned from past mistakes!
The Yang Ni (Yang Yinglong) rebellion that broke out in the Wanli Dynasty lasted for how long. The rebellion was finally suppressed, but the losses to the court were not small.

Wei Guangxu and Jin Xuan were really afraid of She'an's rebellion, and it would develop like Yang Ni's rebellion. As close ministers of the emperor, they had to share the emperor's worries.

"However, none of the established arrangements can be changed!!"

But what Zhu Youxiao said next made Wei Guangxu and Jin Xuan's expressions change slightly!
"Your Majesty, it's hard to change anything like this."

Zhang Kentang said anxiously: "I know that your Majesty knows and understands martial arts, and Zhu Xieyuan and the others are in charge of everything involving Sichuan, Guizhou, and rebellion, but the money in the internal funds cannot be consumed like this."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He Tengjiao followed closely and said: "If we don't put pressure on Zhu Xieyuan and the others, once the Sichuan Guiping rebellion reaches a stalemate, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future."

"In the southwest boundary, there are not only chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou, but also in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places. If the rebellion of Sichuan and Guizhou reaches a stalemate, if during this period, there are still chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou who take risks, once this trend spreads, To Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi, then..."

"Don't I know this?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his brows slightly, looked at Wei Guangxu and the others and said, "You want to put pressure on Zhu Xieyuan and the others. This is right, and I agree with it, but don't forget that Zhu Xieyuan and the others face more than luxury and rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou. It’s so easy to rebel!”

"I still say what I said, how to fight the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou should be based on the actual situation on the front line. Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu should fight how they want to fight!"

"If during this period, there are really short-sighted people who choose to confront the imperial court, then ask them to take risks. Being disloyal to the imperial court means being disloyal, no matter how early or late it is!!"

It is very complicated to handle things in the southwest.

This is not the end of the war.

If the core contradiction is not resolved, the chieftain rebellion will still happen.

Zhu Youxiao's thinking will not be limited to the present, but will also look to the future!

If it's a thick sore, it needs to be squeezed open. If the thick sore persists, the wound will never heal.

The key to solving the problem in the Southwest is to enhance the power of the Ming Army and to facilitate the development of Chidao. As long as these two things can be done well, no matter how many things happen during that period, we can ensure that there will be no chaos in the Southwest!
The chieftain groups in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places are also extremely large. Rather than leaving them to be solved later, it is better to solve some of them now.

Once the big level is stabilized in this way, we can try to promote reforms in the future and start foreign wars at the same time, so as to transfer conflicts while reforming. This is the key to solving the Southwest!

But if you want to promote these plans, one premise must be ensured, that is, the southwest needs great governance. You can be barren, but you can't be without change!
"I have an idea."

Facing the gazes of the ministers, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "I plan to promote the reform of the health center in Sichuan, so that the reform of the health center in Beizhili will be moved to Sichuan."

Ok?
Wei Guangxu, Jin Xuan and others showed doubtful expressions.

"The restructuring of health centers in Sichuan is divided into two levels."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "In the plain areas headed by Chengdu, all the guard stations must be abolished, and the guard station fields under their jurisdiction should be transferred to the official field sequence. This can solve some of the refugee resettlement problems."

"At the same time, in the dangerous areas of Sichuan, preparations must be made for the construction of a health station, with the land under the jurisdiction of the health station, including the part of the confiscated land, in the form of a collective farm, in order to clarify the policy of farming and absorbing refugees. This is also Including absorbing local people!”

"In this way, Sichuan will be able to stabilize under the rule, and the above-mentioned groups can cultivate land with lower land rents. In addition to the taxes they have to pay, they can have a surplus of grain in their hands. But correspondingly, , even if they want to harvest the food they grow, they must give it to the government first.”

"At the same time, they have to undertake some corvee work, such as Chidao construction, water conservancy construction, and land reclamation. Of course, the supply of rations for this part of the corvee work will be coordinated by the government, and it will be handled in the form of work-for-relief!"

The atmosphere in Wuying Palace changed.

Wei Guangxu and Jin Xuan fell into deep thought. They had never been exposed to such a complicated policy before, and they were worried about it.

But Zhu Youxiao thought it was feasible!

This is the nature of the Construction Corps, but with some changes.

"This matter, the Military Academy must draft a charter as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao continued: "The key points involved in what I said must be clearly defined. If there is anything you don't understand or are unfamiliar with, you can contact the Shaofu Wait for the company to discuss it and submit this charter to the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, will this cause chaos in Sichuan?"

Wei Guangxu stepped forward and said: "After all, the focus of Sichuan Gui right now is to suppress the Sheni and Anni rebellions, and there are also new situations happening now. Just in case..."

"Nothing happens!!"

Zhu Youxiao said: "It is precisely because of the complexity of the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou that the court must prepare in advance. If we wait until everything happens and then think of countermeasures to solve it, wouldn't it be too late?"

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

The longer Zhu Youxiao stays in this position, the more he understands the power of it. He, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, cannot make mistakes, and the Ming Dynasty he rules cannot make mistakes. If he still dares to make mistakes now, then the good situation achieved before will be lost. It is very likely to be destroyed in one go, and everything will be useless in the end. This is something Zhu Youxiao will never allow! !
