Chapter 132: Victory Monument

The city of Guiyang was filled with dragon flags, mixed with military flags and the high-profile flags of the various aiding generals. Looking from afar, the sky was covered with flags and large army was approaching.

On this day, the sky was clear and the sun shone on the southwest land, and the light finally overwhelmed the darkness.

The southwest, which had been in chaos for almost a year, finally ushered in the dawn of stability.

Guiyang City is not big, compared with the mainland, Jiangnan towns seem extremely backward, but if we talk about Guizhou alone, it is the most prosperous place, and it is a place that the rebels and officials must fight for.

Many years later, the military and civilians of Guiyang would recall in gossip that the emperor led his army to fight in the first year of Tianqi and presided over the overall situation in Guiyang City.

"Your Majesty has an order-" On the high platform, Wang Chaofu, the governor of the Qing Palace, took a step forward and read it loudly.

When he spoke to the ground, all the officials and soldiers in the lower ranks and the people all knelt down to wait for the emperor's decree.

Wang Chaofu, who was used to seeing big scenes, was the first time he saw such a scene. He was shocked, cleared his throat, and said in his voice as high as possible:

"Since the end of my life, I have been observing the laws of my ancestors every day, following the imperial edict of Chenghuang, and trying to maintain political principles. I have to endure the chaos of the chieftains."

"Now, the chieftains have repeatedly violated national laws and violated Sichuan Provinces, and suffered a lot of losses."

"She Chongming rebelled, and Chongqing was lonely and in danger, and it was deeply worthwhile, so he decided to fight in person in order to quickly settle the war and safeguard people's livelihood."

"Chongqing, Nanchuan, Xichuan, Guiyang, and the soldiers used their lives to fight bravely and won a great victory!"

"This time, the people and workers in the southwest have relied on this pacification of the southwest to work together and work hard to serve the public. The talents of our county and country's badges will follow me to fight in the east and west, and will make an indelible contribution."

"The meeting of the investigation is Ming, Lu Qin, Zhu Xieyuan, Hou Liangzhu, Wang Sanshan, Qin Liangyu, Zhang Ling and others, all of whom are pillars of the country."

"There are many troubles in China and abroad today, and the court is in a hurry to hire people. Afterwards, the meritorious officials and military generals who have made contributions must be rewarded and promoted! They are responsible for their responsibilities!"

"I will tell the world and show the four barbarians, and make clear my intention of not being able to do so, and know my intention of not being able to forgive me. Do not go beyond my will and show punishment, and each will keep the distinction and enjoy peace."

After saying that, everyone shouted.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!!"

Zhu Youxiao gradually smiled on his face, and he was carrying an imperial sword around his waist. He stood on the platform and said majestic:

"I am in the Ming Dynasty, with kindness and kindness, and those who are respectful will not be supported by all means; those who are righteous and martial, those who are strong will be killed."

"Embroider these words on the stone tablet to warn the little girl and deter the four barbarians!"

"Abide by the order!" everyone shouted in unison.

Before long, a group of prisoners were taken to the high platform, and the Ming army guards were surrounded by tiger eyes, full of contempt and vigilance towards these local chiefs.

The Southwest Governor Lu Qin, crossed his hands with Shangfang's sword, stepped forward and said, "I am trusted by Your Majesty and governed the military affairs of the southwest provinces. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my orders and conquered the southwest and won a great victory!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, took the sword back, and said nothing.

At this time, Lu Qin stood up, looked at the soldiers and civilians, and said loudly:

"An Bangyan, kill!"

"An Xiaoliang, as well as the chieftains Zhang Shichen, An Bangjun, An Ruoshan, Chen Qiyu, Chen Wandian and other thirty-two families, all beheaded in Guiyang and passed on to Sichuan. Gui, to serve as a warning to Xiuyou!"

After the words came to an end, An Bangyan was pushed forward.

To this day, An Bangyan also knows that he has made many plans before, but it is just a waste of time to draw water from a bamboo basket.

He spit out a mouthful of the anesthetic that Ming Jun forced into his mouth this morning. He was extremely calm, but An Xiaoliang was taken out. After the linen in his mouth was taken out, a few local words came out.

"What did he say?"

Zhu Youxiao asked coldly that Wang Chaofu rarely saw such a dragon's affair, and was amazed at the emperor's attention to the southwest.

Everyone was waiting silently for a moment. Zhu Youxiao walked to An Xiaoliang, looked at him from a high place, and smiled coldly.

"Thorn his tongue for me, noisy!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao walked back a few steps and ordered:

"cut!"

With a command, the Han generals were divided into four, the four were divided into eight, and then sixteen and thirty-two people shouted one after another, and the sound waves were higher and higher.

"cut!"

"cut--"

The sound shook the entire city of Guiyang, and what followed were the mountain shouts of countless generals who followed the army, the sound of war drums, the sound of rituals and music, and the shouts and scolds of the people, resounding throughout Guiyang's world.

An Bangyan was cut off with one knife. Maybe he still regretted until his death, why did he marry such a stupid woman?

An Xiaoliang was also a matter of killing, but because he said something more Ming Jun didn't understand, he suffered and was first beaten.

As for the other toasts, some were as calm as An Bangyan, and some were struggling wildly to beg for mercy.

No matter what, the noise gradually dissipated and the blood gradually disappeared, and even the soldiers, civilians and the people went home and returned to their camps.

The sun sets, and the passion of the sun disappears, but the stone tablets erected in Guiyang City still stand here.

A line of small characters is engraved on the stele.

"In September of the first year of Tianqi, the emperor personally fought and killed An Bangyan and the thirty-three families of the southwest chieftains here."

......

After pacifying She Chongming and She Shehui, the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou was also reshuffled.

The death of Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu was later found to have been found out that Ma Hong was not guilty of the general, and was promoted to the Qianzong of Chongqing.

Xu Keqiu's death was also implicated in party struggles.

Because he was a member of the Donglin Party, his death caused a stir in the court. During Zhu Youxiao's personal expedition, countless memorials were sent to the camp, and they all said that Ma Hong should be severely punished.

Previously, Zhu Youxiao ignored it.

The news of the victory came out, and the storms in the court seemed to have disappeared with this victory. Now the memorials received by Zhu Youxiao are all humble congratulations.

With the victory of the Southwest, the emperor's prestige began to rise, and the eunuchs also began to make efforts.

For example, Cui Chengxiu, the Ministry of War and Gu Bingqian of the cabinet, all submitted memorials to defend the general Ma Hong and impeach Donglin's censors to usurp power.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to dismiss a group of Donglin censors, which was a matter in the capital.

Xu Ke was dying, and the Donglin Party naturally hoped that its people would continue to take charge of Sichuan. The cabinet first proposed to recommend a few candidates.

They were the Wei Dazhong, the Zhejiang Censor Fang Kezhuang, and Liu Kexun, the deputy envoy of the military officer who made contributions to quell the rebellion.

Unfortunately, Zhu Youxiao didn't even read this question book sent by the capital, so he ordered the dynasty to burn it.

If you are in the southwest, you have to be willful!

Zhu Xieyuan made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, so why can't he continue to be the governor of Sichuan?

Not only do I want him to continue to be a minister of war, I also want to give him the title of Minister of War so that he can also take charge of Guizhou military affairs in name only.

As for Wang Sanshan, although he was a member of the Donglin Party, he also made great contributions to the rapid quelling of the rebellion this time. Let him continue to be the governor of Guizhou.

It is worth mentioning that Shi Yongan, the censor who had conflicts with former governor Li Yi in Guiyang City at that time, was also recommended by Wei Zhongxian this time and was quietly transferred to the capital and served in the Censorate.

To quell the war, the rest is how to deal with the aftermath. Zhu Youxiao didn't want to just leave, and the southwest became chaotic again.

After several discussions, Zhu Youxiao abandoned the policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" and decided to use force to forcibly implement the "reform of land and return to the current".

Including the Xi'an clan, there were 34 large chieftains who could bring the table to the table and were defeated.

Regarding these 34 larger chieftains, Zhu Youxiao first issued an edict to kill all the two culprits of the She family and An family, and not keep the young and old.

The rest, such as the Zhang family in Wuding, only punished the evil people, and ensured that the old things would not be brought up again and calmed down the people's hearts.

After this, the Yongning Xuanfu Department, which was in charge of She Chongming, the court will abolish its establishment, merge all the land of Yongning Xuanfu Department into Xuzhou, establish Xuzhou Prefecture, and be appointed by the court to manage it.

Since then, Yongning Xuanfusi has completely become history.

The chieftains who participated in the rebellion, no matter how big or small, were disqualified from their later generations as inheriting the Xuanfu envoy, but if they passed the exam, they could be allowed to serve as prefectures and officials in the southwest region.

This involves an important policy, namely, to start lectures in the southwest region and eliminate the toast culture.

The Donglin scholars who were powerful and had nowhere to be used, and the Jinshi who were waiting to fill the gaps in the local area, all came here to experience it, and they were called:

The time for the Ming Dynasty to need you is here!

Zhu Youxiao even stipulated that if you have fame and fortune and want to be an official, the court will definitely arrange for you to fill the gaps after teaching in the southwest region for two years.
Chapter completed!
