Chapter 133: The Rise of Sha and Pu
In fact, as early as the Hongwu period, there was already sociology in the southwest region.
However, after the establishment, it did not pay much attention. It was just that some Han children who migrated here entered school, and most of them were artificially separated from the border.
Now, Zhu Youxiao personally won a great victory, not only dealing with the chieftains who were too big to lose, but also encouraging local local people to study with the Han people.
This first decree is aimed at other regions with famous scholars, such as Jinshi, and supervisors who are waiting to fill the gap.
Many people have to wait for many years to fill the gap after they get fame. There are even young Jinshi who can only make up for the gap in their late years. This is an example of a county magistrate.
As soon as this order was issued, it caused a stir across the country.
In the minds of many scholars, the southwest and Liaodong are two places that can stay as far away as possible, and one is the uncertainty of these two places.
Various contradictions and civil and military struggles have led to the increasingly dangerous and chaotic situation in the southwest. It will never be completely declared in a big victory.
These decrees may not be effective in the short term, but Zhu Youxiao firmly believes that this is a move that will benefit the present and the future.
There is never a shortage of officials in the world. In order to get a job, they can do many things that ordinary people can unimaginable.
Zhu Youzhai encouraged lectures in the southwest and educated indigenous people. In the first few years, it was an opportunity for many people.
If you have fame and fortune, you will be able to fill the gaps after giving lectures in various provinces in the southwest for two years. Once this clear rule is released, many scholars who claim to be full of knowledge but have nowhere to serve the country are excited.
The southwest is poor and backward, and the natives have deep conflicts with the Han people, so many people fall into choices related to the path of life.
Should I continue to wait for the filling of the gaps that cannot be seen at first sight, or should I grit my teeth, stomp my feet, go to the southwest to give lectures for two years, and come out to serve as an official?
Who knows whether this policy will continue in two years? After passing this village, there may not be this store...
Zhu Youxiao threw this issue to scholars all over the world. For the court, this policy was a killing of multiple goals.
It not only allows many scholars with no governance experience to go to the southwest to experience it, select talented people, and serve the court.
It can also weaken the power of local scholars and bring some scholars who are full and have nothing to do to the southwest border area to do some practical things.
The She'an Rebellion was put down in the first year of Tianqi. In response to Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, Zhu Youxiao eliminated all more than 30 large chieftains, and established a prefecture on their chieftains and appointed officials to manage them.
After the Yongning Xuanfu Department was incorporated into Xuzhou Prefecture, there were no more large chieftains in Sichuan. Under the promotion of Zhu Xieyuan and Hou Liangzhu, the transformation of land and return to the land will be completed this year.
Regarding Guizhou, which has a relatively complicated situation, Zhu Youxiao finally issued an order on the way.
First, Guizhou Xuanwei Office was changed to Shuixi Xuanwei Office, and the position of Xuanwei Envoy was removed. The Xuanwei Office was nominally retained, but it had been completely changed to the management of a migrant official.
Secondly, seized most of the land of several major chieftains who had exchanged between Su and An, and set up twelve counties and sub-districts, and each had its own jurisdiction and prefectures.
Try to make the great chieftains in Guizhou disappear one by one.
Third, during this rebellion, more than ten families including Lu Qianzhong, the chieftain of Dongchuan, did not help the rebels, but also summoned the imperial court and obeyed the slander.
In response to this, the court would deprive the twelve Matou land of chieftains such as Dongchuan, Kuandian, and set up Kaizhou to be affiliated with Guizhou Prefecture.
In addition, the number of camps and local soldiers was further strictly restricted for these more than ten chieftains.
Fourth, a large number of local civil warriors were recruited, 36 cities were built along the river, three new guards were established, and new troops were recruited, and generals who were responsible for suppressing the rebellion were appointed to guard the army.
If a person with a heart looks at it from the map, these thirty-six guards and offices form a large net, almost surrounding the entire Guizhou.
Once there is another war, it will be pacified day and night.
As for the temporary governor Lu Qin, Zhu Youxiao did not let him go back this time, but asked him to continue to govern the military affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou, and stationed in Guiyang.
He will have to work as the governor for at least a few more years until the southwest region is almost stable.
No one with outstanding abilities stays behind and is uneasy to leave.
Riding on the war horse, Zhu Youxiao stared at the direction of the capital, then looked back at the sunset behind him, shook his head and said:
"Return to Beijing!"
Compared to before leaving Beijing, many people had a little toughness on their tender faces. Zhu Youxiao is no longer the same person he used to be.
Accompanied by rituals, drums, and flags all over the sky, the army that left Beijing a few months ago returned to Beijing with the power of a great victory.
In the capital, there are more difficulties waiting for the emperor.
......
This big victory is actually a miserable victory.
This turmoil has restrained almost all the troops in Sichuan and Guizhou, as well as most of the troops in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, and also mobilized them.
Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao put down this war that had been fought for more than ten years in just one year.
Unfortunately, after a few months, the loss of war alone caused the Ming Dynasty to collapse at the end of the day.
Listening to the Chaofu report on the loss of the war, Zhu Youxiao's heart was bleeding.
Only those who are in war can know how a war of such a scale will shake the country.
The long-planned rebellion of the chieftains not only brought disaster to the people of Sichuan and Guizhou, but countless people were destroyed and their wives and children were separated. The secret influence on the other provinces was also profound.
Taking Yunnan as an example, Zhu Youxiao Zeng ordered the Duke of Qian State Mu Qiyuan to lead troops to help the war, but he shirked the blame from many parties and ignored it.
The same is true for his father Mu Changzuo. He was greedy for life and feared death, and closed the door to the house. The two were really father and son.
The Yunnan Metropolitan Police Xu Chengming and others were defeated one after another, resulting in the local government forces continuing to send troops to support Sichuan, and their strength was sharply reduced.
There are also many local chieftains in Yunnan who directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion.
Those who make small fuss are taking advantage of the large Yunnan army to aid Sichuan, send troops to loot the places and conquer the cities and conquer the land. Those who make more noises and even capture the Acropolis.
All kinds of big events and small events cannot be described in detail. Although Yunnan is not a region in the war, the losses are not small.
This is true in Yunnan, and so is the rest of the provinces.
Some Yunnan and Guangxi chieftains were ordered to aid Sichuan, and mutinies occurred on the road, or clashed with the Ming army, and fought hard, and then both sides fought each other and were defeated by the rebels. This kind of thing is common.
After quelling the rebellion, the chieftains who participated in the war began to ask the court for the rebellion to quell the rebellion. The land, population, cattle and horses were all lions, which was extremely difficult to deal with.
When the chieftains quarrel, they all have common interests whether they participate in rebellion or suppression.
It is these interests that allow the chieftains to communicate with each other. There was a chaos in the She Chongming area, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guizhou provinces for a while, and almost all the wars were encountered.
However, the main battlefield for suppressing the rebellion this time was in Sichuan and Guizhou.
At that time, Guizhou and Sichuan sent letters to other provinces several times, requesting to send troops to reinforce. Some of them took out loans to buy weapons to defend the city, just like the former governor of Sichuan Li Yi.
However, the other provinces also had rebellions of the chieftains of varying degrees, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they have the spare troops to rescue them?
Yunnan Governor Min Hongxue once wrote back to Li Wei.
The letters were full of sarcasm, saying that you, Li Wei, have also considered me, and Yunnan is in chaos, and you have to send troops to Sichuan. You want me to be dead.
In short, behind this great victory was the sharp decline in military strength of the imperial courts in the southwestern provinces, as well as the chaos and disorder among the chieftains.
Since Wanli, the discipline of officers and soldiers in southwestern provinces has been lax in discipline and is almost unbearable for battle.
Relatively speaking, although the local soldiers were insufficiently equipped, they were relatively brave. During the three major battles of Wanli, they set a precedent for large-scale recruitment of local soldiers to participate in the war.
After the war, the chieftains had to be rewarded on a large scale. The chieftains who participated in the war further expanded their arms and absorbed a lot of surrenders.
Therefore, the power has increased sharply, which has laid the hidden danger of the chieftain's chaos in the southwest.
She Chongming and An Bangyan were awarded the reward of Emperor Wanli after participating in the Battle of Bozhou, and gradually formed a separatist trend in Sichuan and Guizhou.
After this war, Zhu Youxiao stayed in Guiyang for a while, deliberately suppressing the chieftains with force, and did not give them a routine reward.
This made the war's chieftain dissatisfied, but also suppressed their power growth.
But the good times did not last long, and soon officials reported that this time, the rebellion was suppressed, and the prefect of Ami Prefecture was well-known, and Annan Chief Si Sha Yuan and others served many times. They actively suppressed the rebellion and defeated many rebel chieftains.
The two of them incorporated many defeated soldiers who rebeled from the chieftains, and their achievements in suppressing the rebellion and making achievements, their prestige and military strength began to inevitably increase.
Of course, the two of them have no idea of rebellion yet. After all, She Chongming and An Bangyan died in front of them.
The imperial army quickly resolved the wars that affected several provinces, and even attracted the emperor to personally fight, which was enough to show that the importance of Guizhou affairs was no less than that of Liao affairs.
The combat effectiveness of the new army in Yongweiying also made them frightened.
