Chapter 46 Liu Xian and Ting Tui

Duzhangman hoarded food in Lingxiao City, occupied the mountain and became king, and served as the foundation for his harassment and killing everywhere.

In addition, the Xuzhou is located at the throat of the three provinces of Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan, and its strategic location is extremely dangerous. Every disturbance between the three provinces is shocked, seriously endangering the stability of the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty.

During the reign of Chengzu, Duzhanman "attacked Gaojiao, Gong, Yunlian and Qingfu counties". In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan land annexation became increasingly prosperous, and some farmers who lost their arable land became refugees. These people also joined Duzhanman and caused trouble with them.

At that time, there were three main types of Han refugees who joined the Duzhang Barbarians: one was the escaped military prisoners and some refugees who fled into the village in their early years, the second was the thieves in Shu, and the third was the Han people who were seriously punished and died. "The cunning ones became the master of the plot."

The addition of these Han people made Duzhangman even more rampant and his marching and combat became more cunning. Therefore, "changing the land and returning to the current" became the top priority for the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the local situation.

During the Chenghua period, there was a large-scale encirclement and suppression. At that time, the barbarians went to Guizhou to surrender. The commander of Guizhou Ding Shi did not know that there was any fraud and went out to greet him. As a result, "the ambush of the barbarians rose up everywhere, and more than 5,000 officials were gone.

In November, Du Zhangman designed to lure Wang Hao to Changning at night, but "the official army was confused at night, and the people fell into the valley and died invincible."

Soon, Duzhanman marched along the south bank of the river and captured Jiang'an, Naxi, Hejiang and other counties again. It was like entering a deserted land. The officials and civilians of several counties moved to the north bank, and even Wang Hao's official ships dared not stop on the south bank.

The court sent 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Duzhangman, but returned in vain, causing the court to lose face.

Zhu Yijun looked through the information of Du Zhangman, and at this time he could connect with his memory. Du Zhangman had been making trouble from the time of Chengzu to the time of his ascension to the throne. However, Zhu Yijun knew that in the Ming Dynasty, even the land of Yunnan and Guizhou could not be completely pacified.

Duzhangman started to make a fuss again when he ascended the throne. The chief of Duzhangman of Xuzhou always wore a python robe and rode in a four-horse carriage, imitating the Ming Dynasty officials, and ran along the way.

Chief Agou and his adopted son Amuer occupied Lingxiao City, "helping carry a large sedan chair, yellow umbrella and python robes, and usurping the title of king."

This is a trend of establishing a country and becoming king, and this is impossible to bear. At that time, Zhang Juzheng had just become the chief minister and he was going to pacify Duzhanman. Zhang Juzheng also wanted to establish his authority with Duzhanman, and wanted to solve the disaster that still harmed the Ming Dynasty.

The general Zhang Juzheng selected to attack the Duzhan Barbarians was Liu Xian, and a 140,000 army was attacking the Duzhan Barbarians.

Liu Xian did not disappoint. Under Liu Xian's command, the Ming army advanced rapidly, and Lingxiao City and Dudu Village quickly changed hands.

The Duzhangman lost these two dangers and had to retreat to Jiusi City. The Ming army immediately divided into five groups and rushed towards Jiusi City, attacking day and night. The Duzhangman refused to die, "taking the city to turn stones and launch a flag and attack like electric slits." The Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but there was no way out for the moment.

September 9th is the "Sheng Festival" of the barbarians. On this day, heavy rain fell from the sky and the mountain roads were slippery. The soldiers fought hard. They thought that the Ming army would never attack, so they killed cattle on Jiusi Mountain to celebrate and drink with all their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army took the night to climb rocks and entered Jiusi City, setting fires everywhere, and the sound of killing shocked the sky. Du Zhangman woke up from his sleep. Seeing the Ming army descending from the sky, they all surrendered. In the chaos, they were burned to death by fire and fell from the cliffs. No less than 10,000 chiefs A Da, A Er, and Fang San were all captured and killed by the Ming army.

The Ming army seized 93 bronze drums and captured 4,615 people. The war drums were transported to the capital treasury as spoils. This kind of heavy weapon of sacrifice was eventually changed hands with the demise of this nation.

Zhu Yijun remembered that he had also watched the drums, and Zhang Juzheng was boasting about it.

It turned out that Liu Xian calmed down the Duzhangman. Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hit the table, thinking that this person was suitable for training the Beijing camp.

First, he has been in the southeast and has no connections in the capital. He has a clear identity and can be less disturbed by training. Second, Liu Xian has indeed made outstanding achievements in combat and very strong.

Whether it is fighting against the Japanese or destroying the mantra, this can prove his strength.

Third, Zhu Yijun also wanted the veteran general to enjoy his life and come to the capital to take care of his old age. After all, Liu Xian was born in Zhengde in ten years, and was as old as Wang Chonggu, and he was 63 years old. Zhu Yijun was a little embarrassed to bear the hard work of such an old general in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Especially after the resume, there is a resignation note, and Liu Xian also wants to go home to retire, and it is because of a physical problem.

Liu Xian is a military general and has been fighting for many years. His physical injuries must be more serious than Wang Chonggu. If he was in Yunnan and Guizhou, he would probably have lived a few years. Zhu Yijun felt that such people should make the best use of the goods and getting them to the capital to train troops is the best choice.

For war, young people should come. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was not short of famous generals.

If you set up a Military Affairs Office’s Staff Office in the future, these veteran generals will be needed.

The generals of the three major camps were selected to train the military generals, and there was another candidate and key, that was, the civil servants of the three major camps of the governor. Originally, the Ming army belonged to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the Governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Army were all military generals and nobles.

He was distracted by the power. Now the governor is all civil servants, and military generals can only be generals, and the status is not a little bit worse.

From the perspective of fighting for power and profit, military generals are not the opponents of civil officials at all. If the civil and military division system is not divided into civil and military divisions, there will be problems sooner or later. However, Zhu Yijun does not have the strength to challenge such official rules for the time being, so he still has to choose a civil official.

According to the rules, this position should be the title of Deputy Chief Envoy of the Censorate, and it is also best to be the Minister of War.

To choose a minister of the Ministry of War, a civil servant in the three camps of the governor, and to promote Liu Xian. Zhu Yijun was hitting the memorial, and it seemed that he should have held a court push. He said that he had been an emperor for so long and had not presided over the court push.

Thinking of this, this idea took root in Zhu Yijun's mind.

After looking at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun spoke, "I have issued an order to the cabinet. I have approved the letter of the Minister of War Wang Chonggu's letter to the scholar. Wang Aiqing worked hard and made great contributions. He appointed the Minister of War to send a scholar. At the same time, he added a son to the Jinyiwei hundred households."

To put it bluntly, Wang Chonggu's title and treatment of the Minister of War, just like enjoying the treatment of the Minister of War after retirement in later generations.

"Let the cabinet and the six ministries propose a list and elect the Minister of War, and then the court will be promoted." Zhu Yijun then added.
