Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 770: Sichuan and Guizhou Incident (4)

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

The rapid sound of drums made the atmosphere suddenly tense, and the sounds of footsteps, horse hooves, and shouts could be heard in the camp that stretched for more than ten miles.

As the main force sent by Sichuan to suppress the rebellion, the various troops stationed in Yongning Xuanfusi were the main force of the central army directly under the command of Qin Liangyu.

The areas where the two rebels She and An were wreaking havoc involved the army in Sichuan. In addition to the main force commanded by Qin Liangyu herself, there were also several small armies under Qin Liangyu's command with a certain degree of autonomy. In this way, a complete defense line was built in eastern and southern Sichuan to prevent the war from affecting the hinterland of Sichuan.

Such as Hou Liangzhu's troops guarding Zhenxiong Prefecture, Bai Zaixiang's troops guarding the Chishui line, and Li Weixin's troops stationed in Luzhou Prefecture... It was precisely because of such meticulous deployment that the rebellions of the two rebels She and An never threatened the hinterland of Sichuan.

Even during the two-year-long suppression of the rebellion, there were chieftains who responded from time to time with ulterior motives, but they were all swiftly suppressed and eliminated without exception!
Guizhou, which is adjacent to Sichuan, has the same layout. Under the leadership of Zhu Xieyuan, the Governor-General of Sichuan and Guizhou, the situation in both places has changed greatly.

"Why are they beating drums to gather their troops out of nowhere? Is Tiron about to launch an offensive?"

"It seems to be the case, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big commotion."

"Finally, I have to move. I'm getting moldy staying here!"

"You kid, if you have the guts, mention me in front of Ti Rong."

"Fuck you, who dares to call me Laozi in front of Tiron?"

"My goodness, look, isn't this Madam Bai? How come she's here too?"

"Oh my god, this is not right, hurry up, there must be a big announcement!!"

At the headquarters of the central army, a famous officer came rushing over after hearing the drum. As they rushed to the headquarters, they all tightly grasped the hilts of their swords and talked with their subordinates.

However, when some sharp-eyed officers saw some people, their expressions changed completely, and even their steps became much faster.

"Stand still!"

"quiet!!"

In the central army's tent, the female soldier on duty shouted from time to time, but none of the officers who had arrived showed any dissatisfaction and they all stood in their positions obediently.

Among the generals and officers who led the troops to suppress the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou, not many had their own female battalions. The most famous ones were Qin Liangyu and Bai Zaixiang. Their reputations were known to everyone.

Moreover, the Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou Zhu Xieyuan had issued a strict order that only female officers could plan and establish a female soldier camp, and other officers who dared to plan and establish it privately would be stripped of their posts and arrested! !
Different from previous military meetings, this time there were many more people attending, so the gathering area was set up outside the commander's tent. The originally empty area was soon filled with people.

"Did you arrange for someone to take charge temporarily during the drum beating to gather the generals?"

"Has martial law been issued at the camp?"

"Before the drum-beating and rallying began, were scouts sent out?"

"..."

As more and more officers and generals arrived, a group of female soldiers holding booklets dispersed to the officers and generals in various places and began to inquire about various situations. A tense atmosphere quietly came.

With constant questioning, other languages ​​began to appear in the team, such as Miao, Yi, etc. This is one of the reasons why the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou was different from that in Liaodong!

As the time of suppressing the rebellion increased, groups of local chieftains who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty also joined in the suppression of the rebellion. However, the local soldiers they dispatched were strictly divided into levels and were not allowed to exceed the prescribed scale, otherwise the extra local soldiers would be withdrawn.

While various voices were heard outside the tent, the atmosphere inside the commander's tent was very depressing and solemn. "If you have any ideas about the joint suppression we are going to launch this time, you can speak up now." Qin Liangyu, standing in front of the map, looked at everyone with a serious expression and said in a sonorous tone.

"I have just explained the importance of this battle. Even if we cannot completely suppress the rebellion of She and An, we must destroy one of them. This time, Sichuan will be the pioneer, and Guizhou will act when the time is right. At the same time, Du Tang has left Chengdu and rushed to Chongqing to take charge. Some things must be resolved in this battle!"

"It's only been a short while, and another group of treacherous people can't sit still anymore."

Bai Zaixiang opened her eyes slightly and snorted coldly, "Since they are so selfish, there is no doubt that we must fight! There must be no chaos in Sichuan and Guizhou, otherwise many people will be affected, and many people will be forced to leave their hometowns, and even their wives and children will be separated and their families will be destroyed!!"

"General Bai is right."

Hou Liangzhu followed closely and said, "In the past six months, I have discovered that something is not right in the Zhenxiong Prefecture, especially in Wumeng, Wusa, and Dongchuan. Civil unrest and riots have occurred too frequently, which has led to the elite central forces led by Meng Ruhu and Hu Dawei being sent by the Supervisor Hall to suppress and eliminate them."

"I originally thought that these civil unrest and riots were caused by the suppression of rebellion on the front line, but now it seems that someone is behind this!"

"So during this joint campaign, your troops will guard Zhenxiong Prefecture." Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Some things cannot be explained clearly in the military newspaper. Pay close attention to the list given to you. If they dare to make any unusual movements, we will immediately send troops to wipe them out one by one!"

"Here!"

Hou Liangzhu immediately clasped his fists in response.

"Once the joint campaign is launched, I'm afraid the battle will be intense."

Li Weixin, who was standing by, frowned and said, "Although the roads in eastern and southern Sichuan are being built and expanded, many places have not yet been completed. If this is the case, the pressure on the rear supply transportation will increase exponentially."

Li Weixin, who led his troops to garrison in Luzhou Prefecture, not only had the heavy responsibility of assisting the front, but also had the authority to allocate and transport military supplies to the front. This burden was extremely heavy.

As the suppression of the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou continued, a large number of generals and officers emerged, and the detailed records of these people have been mastered by the Military Affairs Council in Beijing.

When the rebellion of Sichuan and Guizhou is completely suppressed, the Ming Dynasty will welcome a new batch of nobles!
The suppression of the rebellion and progress in Liaodong, especially the imperial rewards granted by the court, caused quite a stir when news reached Sichuan and Guizhou.

"No need to worry about that."

Qin Liangyu said, "In order to prepare for this joint campaign, the Governor's Office has made a lot of preparations in advance. The Governor's Office will send Liu Kexun and others to coordinate logistics. In addition, a batch of military supplies has been secretly transported here."

"Yunyang Governor Sun Chuanting began secretly raising military rations half a year ago, and shipped them to Chongqing Prefecture in batches via Hanzhong, Kuizhou and other prefectures. If this war really lasts for a long time, the military rations stored in Chongqing Prefecture will be shipped to the front line in batches to ensure the needs of various frontline troops."

"That's great!"

Li Weixin's eyes lit up and he said, "If this is the case, our army will join forces to suppress the two rebels She and An, and we will have no worries at all."

In the past two years, in order to suppress the rebellions of She and An, the main civil and military officials in Sichuan and Guizhou were replaced by Zhu Youxiao by imperial decree amid the constant turmoil in the central government.

The most important point is that none of these civil and military officials, whom Zhu Youxiao had high hopes for, disappointed him. They all played their respective roles in their respective positions.

With this long period of familiarity, no matter where the civil and military officials are, they can know the abilities of the people they are dealing with.

Sun Chuanting's fame in Sichuan and Guizhou is no less than that of Zhu Xieyuan, simply because many of the things he did during his time in Hanzhong Prefecture were too well-known.

The troops currently active on the front lines of suppressing the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou, in addition to a portion of military rations, have gradually been in charge of the military industry organized by Hanzhong Prefecture since the second year of the Tianqi reign, such as Hongwu-style flintlock rifles, various types of Hongwu-style artillery, various types of military equipment, etc. This has undoubtedly reduced the pressure on Sichuan and Guizhou!

War will bring harm, but it can also bring a lot of changes. Zhu Youxiao doesn't like war, but in view of the complex national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, he must be ruthless and use war to stimulate the Ming Dynasty and then promote some changes. At present, Sichuan and Guizhou, or more accurately, the entire southwest region, have reached a very important turning point! !
