Chapter 819 Sichuan
Sichuan camp.
Wu Chengxun and Jiang Mu also received a reply from Fang Jiuling. Although they were better than Hubei, some places did not meet the regulations.
According to what the emperor said today, Sichuan is in the local position of the Ming Dynasty, and all the people are the people of the emperor today. It is still different from some situations in the Western Regions, so there are very few slaves that they can sell.
Of course, they were able to produce nearly 20,000 people. After all, Sichuan’s original population was not very small, and they had not experienced the fact that Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan in history, so there were still many people here, and there was no shortage of labor.
Nowadays, with the surrender of a large number of chieftains, 80% of the land in Sichuan is in their hands, and of course Chengdu is still in Zhang Xianzhong's hands.
However, except for this place, Zhang Xianzhong has no influence in other places. The imperial court can take it down as soon as it wants. Now it is just that it is just that it cannot make any move.
"Twenty thousand people are only twenty thousand people. It's much better than not even one person. I heard that Wuchang is much worse than us. The general spent a lot of money on disaster relief, so he wanted to take care of this matter. Unfortunately, there are all Han people around him. How could he sell them as slaves at will?"
Jiang Mu was a little unhappy when he saw Wu Chengxun's face. He probably because he didn't eat this big puff, so he persuaded him that if he heard something worse than his treatment, he would feel a little better.
"I am not thinking about this. Even if 20,000 prisoners are sold, it will only cost 400,000 yuan. It is a drop in the bucket for our Sichuan reconstruction plan. What I am thinking about now is whether our policies are too gentle in Sichuan?"
Wu Chengxun shook his head and said these words instead. Jiang Mu quickly understood what was going on. It must have been the victory of the Western Regions that stimulated Wu Chengxun.
During this period, the court sent all the situation in the Western Regions. It took down the entire Hami and then destroyed the 80,000 troops of the Yarkand Khanate.
Although Fang Jiuling was a literati, he was also in the limelight in the entire court, suppressing all the military generals.
The court's policy in Sichuan is to promote peacefully. With the mutual persuasion between these chieftains and the threat of the court's force, most of the chieftains have surrendered now, and the remaining one or two families are nothing, and they are already well-known.
"I know what the general means, but we as ministers still have to figure out what the emperor means today. Our emperor is the most kind and does not want to start a war in Sichuan. No matter how much we lose, we will consume our comprehensive national strength, so we will continue to advance slowly according to the current policy of Huairou."
Wu Chengxun is a person who stepped on the accelerator, so Jiang Mu stepped on the brakes. Although Sichuan's plan is a little slower now, it is also developing in the most favorable direction.
If you run too fast, the risk will also increase. Jiang Mu is a very conservative person. Since he can completely take over Sichuan in the next one or two years, why do you need to make a mistake at this time?
"Yes, yes, what I said is right. I still can't escape the word "fame and fortune". I was stimulated by the court's sending it to the court during this period. It seems that I still need to cultivate myself, otherwise I will definitely have big trouble in the future."
Wu Chengxun smiled embarrassedly. He was indeed a little crazy just now. He was very excited by the Northwest during this period. If Sichuan's policies and policies were changed, I am afraid that it would not be the ones who were affected.
The people of Sichuan will be affected. If the strategy of quick battle and decision can be successful, maybe they will be able to make some contributions, but if there is any disturbance, it is possible to dismiss the office and lose their lives.
"Don't worry, sir. Although our policy is a little more gentle, it has received good results now. More than a dozen chieftains have already sent letters. They are preparing to go to the capital on the emperor's birthday. They have already written memorials. It depends on how the Lifanyuan responds. This is also our credit."
Jiang Mu talked about another thing. Under the leadership of Ronggong Tusi, most of the Tusi had surrendered to the court, and the transfer situation in various places was proceeding in an orderly manner.
So these chieftains had nothing to do for a while. I heard that the emperor's birthday would soon be coming, so these people remembered one thing, which was to go to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays.
"I can still understand the thoughts of these people. They are just afraid that our promises are not enough, and that we will confiscate their property at any time. So these people are going to go to the capital and let our Long Live promises personally. These guys don't urinate and look at themselves. How can they get the Long Live promises?"
There is no good impression of these chieftains from Sichuan. These guys have caused many losses to the court in the past.
Now that their armed forces have been directly dismantled, it can be considered as a waste of firewood, so these people thought of going to the capital to celebrate their birthdays in order to ensure their future safety.
"Your Majesty is right. These people do have all kinds of small thoughts, but we also understand that they want to advance peacefully. If they can calm their hearts, it will not be a bad thing for us. At least after returning from the capital, their minds will not be so lively."
Jiang Mu thought for a while and said that although the armed forces of these chieftains have been disintegrated now, their influence in the local area is still very strong.
If someone raises his arms, at least there will be thousands of people who will cause trouble. Now that the imperial army is stationed here, these people will naturally not dare to make trouble, but if the imperial army evacuates, there are some things that are hard to say.
"Give me a letter to Lord Hou of Lifanyuan. If you can, try to keep these chieftains in the capital, so that the last time I will have a house and a farm..."
After Wu Chengxun finished speaking, Jiang Mu's eyes lit up. You chieftains can plot against us, and we can also plot against you with this matter.
