Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 768: Sichuan and Guizhou Incident (2)

Hu Dawei and Hu Mengruhu arrived at the Sichuan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion and keenly sensed the tense atmosphere, which seemed very different from before, and this made the two of them alert.

"You two are finally here. Let's go. Du Tang and the others have been waiting for a long time." While the two were on guard, a scholar walked over quickly, raised his hand to salute them, and then gestured with his hand.

Ok?
Hu Dawei and Meng Ruhu looked at each other, with more doubts in their hearts, but they did not hesitate at all and followed the scholar to the main hall.

The main hall at that time.

The atmosphere was a little solemn.

"Governor, the battle to suppress the rebellion of She and An cannot continue like this." Sichuan Governor Shi Yongan frowned and said in a low voice.

"The army assembled in Sichuan and Guizhou must find a way to destroy the rebels. This is the only way to deter the scoundrels from all sides. Now there are more civil unrest and riots in Sichuan, and even some chieftains and officials are rioting. All these signs show that some people can't sit still anymore!"

"Whether it's the trial implementation of the land tax system in Chengdu and Chongqing, or the gradual clarification and control of the Ancient Tea Horse Road in the name of eliminating bandits, it's obvious that many people's interests have been touched, and they want to destroy the stability of the rear and then threaten the suppression of rebellion on the front line!"

"Yes."

Wang Yingxiong, the Left Governor of Sichuan, followed closely behind him and said, "There have always been local officials in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places who are dissatisfied with the court. These people are deeply rooted in the local area, and the local people under their rule are ignorant and loyal. As long as there is the slightest unrest in the southwest, some people will take advantage of the chaos to rise up."

"The most difficult thing is that some of these chieftains and officials have maintained close ties with some of the big clans in private. There are too many interests involved."

"After the two rebels She and An started their rebellion, it affected more than just Sichuan and Guizhou. Yunnan, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi were also affected."

When he said this, Hu Dawei and Meng Ruhu arrived. After hearing this, they immediately realized that something was wrong, especially when they saw the hanging map, their expressions became solemn.

"The armies of Sichuan and Guizhou have already secured a siege on the two rebels, She and An." Wang Yingxiong glanced at the two of them, then continued speaking to the silent Zhu Xieyuan.

"I feel that since there is civil unrest and rioting in Sichuan, there will probably be some in Guizhou as well. The war between Sichuan and Guizhou has been going on for so long, and I'm afraid there are many people who don't want the war to end so soon."

"Since the rebellion of She and An, grain prices in Sichuan and Guizhou have skyrocketed, and countless people have lost their land. Although the Sichuan-Guizhou Governor's Office and the two governors' offices have tried to solve the problem, and even arrested many people, they still have not been able to curb the momentum."

"Your guess is correct."

As soon as Wang Yingxiong finished speaking, Zhu Xieyuan frowned and said, "The urgent message has spread in Guizhou. In some places in Guizhou, there have also been civil unrest and riots."

"According to the investigation of the Guizhou Provincial Governor's Office, among those who secretly instigated all this, there are those who have close ties with Sichuan. The events in Chengdu and Chongqing have long been reported to Guizhou."

This is for the purpose of distributing the tax rate based on the amount of land used!
When Shi Yongan heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Du Tang, what are you waiting for? Give the order to put down the rebellion!" Meng Ruhu heard this and clasped his fists towards Zhu Xieyuan and asked for battle: "We are willing to rush to the rebellion area to suppress it!"

"I am willing to be the pioneer!"

Seeing this, Hu Dawei was not willing to be outdone.

"Haha~"

Seeing the two men asking for a fight, Zhu Xieyuan smiled and pointed at them, saying to Shi Yongan and the others, "Look, the two tiger generals are already impatient." "Haha~"

After hearing what Zhu Xieyuan said, Shi Yongan and others also laughed.

As the location of the personal troops sent by the emperor, although the trend of civil officials being respected and military officials being despised still exists in the Ming Dynasty today, this is not the case in Sichuan and Guizhou.

With Zhu Youxiao's early intervention, Zhu Xieyuan became the Governor-General of Sichuan and Guizhou, Shi Yongan became the Governor of Sichuan, and Wang Sanshan became the Governor of Guizhou. These people all knew about military affairs, and they were very different from other civil servants.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao felt at ease handing over Sichuan and Guizhou to Zhu Xieyuan and his men, and apart from the necessary military supplies, he did not interfere too much in other matters.

Not only are Sichuan and Guizhou far away from the capital, but the situation under their jurisdiction is also complicated. If the capital really wants to play some micromanagement, it can be foreseen that the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou will take a sharp turn for the worse.

There is a group of trustworthy civil and military officials. The key is that they are really talented. Since they have been asked to sit in the important positions in Sichuan and Guizhou, what Zhu Youxiao can give is absolute trust!

After hearing what Zhu Xieyuan said, Hu Dawei, who was as fierce as a tiger, felt a little uneasy.

"The battle must be fought."

Zhu Xieyuan restrained his smile and said with a firm look in his eyes: "But now is not the right time. The current situation is not mature yet, and there are still too few people who jump out."

"Today, the rebellion of She and An is no longer the focus. I have sent people to deliver urgent orders to Sichuan Admiral Qin Liangyu, Guizhou Admiral Lu Qin and other generals over a distance of 600 miles. Calculating the time, it is time to speed up the encirclement of Yongning, Linzhou, Zunyi and other places."

"Two Tiger Generals, follow me to Chongqing Prefecture. As for Chengdu, the chaos is still not serious enough. This is not enough to completely eradicate all the evil spirits!"

"Du Tang!"

Wang Yingxiong opened his eyes slightly, looked at Zhu Xieyuan and said: "If you leave Chengdu at this time, I will wait for you..."

"Du Tang, are you dispatching other teams?"

Before Wang Yingxiong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shi Yongan. After listening to what Zhu Xieyuan said, Shi Yongan seemed to have thought of something.

"Don't say it, don't say it."

Zhu Xieyuan smiled and said, "Everyone, please put your minds at ease. This Chengdu Prefecture is the Chengdu Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, not the Chengdu Prefecture of some people."

"Your Majesty asked us to guard Sichuan and Guizhou, not just to solve the rebellion of She and An, but also to solve the problem of the southwest region's rebellion and peace once and for all, and even to boost the development of the southwest region. This is the key!"

"Your Majesty said something in the previous decree. Today, this governor will tell you all to encourage each other. If you want to make the southwest change with each passing day, you must first clean up the southwest and establish the authority of the central government. Anyone who dares to usurp the laws of the Ming Dynasty can be killed. After gradually implementing this matter, we can promote the construction of garrisons, distribute the land tax according to the acreage, expand the highway, gather people's hearts, increase financial resources, settle refugees, recruit local people, build terraces, re-define the official system, and build schools... Then we can make the southwest truly prosperous!"

After hearing this, Shi Yongan, Wang Yingxiong and others became serious.

These words will become the key to the rise of the Southwest!
It was also through this sentence that Shi Yongan and others knew that the emperor had never taken She Ni and An Ni seriously from the beginning to the end. What really made the emperor pay attention were some deep-rooted ideas in the southwest!

If this problem is not fundamentally solved, and a huge amount of money and grain is simply spent to suppress the rebellions of She Ni and An Ni, it may seem that the crisis has been resolved, but in fact none of the internal hidden dangers have been resolved.
