I'm really not the carpenter emperor

As for Li Shuang, he did not belong to any cronies, he just wanted to spend his term safely and steadily.

Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that Li Zong had done the right thing, and with the current strength of the Guizhou Ming army, he really couldn't easily provoke An.

But is he completely out of Guiyang's consideration?

Not all!

The officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty was not as simple as you imagined.

Li Xun had already reached the age of retirement, but Wang Sanshan, the new governor selected by the Donglin party members, was unable to take up the post, so he "temporarily took over" the governor's affairs.

He must be thinking that during the period of waiting for the new governor to take office, it is best not to have anything happen, so as not to be late.

Shi Yongan wanted to become an official in Beijing, and he was eager to make contributions, so he was more radical.

On the other hand, Li Sang took the method of governing by doing nothing, neither adopting the former's active offensive strategy, nor implementing any local government orders to stabilize the hearts of the people.

To put it bluntly, they are all focused on waiting for the latecomers to take office, and then throwing this hot potato out in an attempt to protect themselves.

Even if something happens in the future, since he didn't lose Guiyang when he was in office, and Anshi didn't turn against him, it has nothing to do with him.

The conflict between Li Xun and Shi Yong'an directly led to the conflict between the civil officials in Guiyang City. Up to now, the two sides are not only fighting with each other, but also using party disputes to attack each other.

When facing the enemy, Guiyang's civil servants and generals were still able to defend the city with one heart and one mind, but once the rebels retreated on their own initiative, the contradictions between them became more prominent.

The same is true between Xu Keqiu and the military commander, and the same is true between Li Fang and Shi Yongan.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was discussing how to completely resolve the situation in the Southwest, a news came that it was Li Xun's resignation, and the new governor Wang Sanshan took office in Guizhou.

Wang Sanshan is one of the Donglin Party members, one of the few who are relatively capable, but he also has the common faults of Donglin Party members, that is, blind arrogance and greed for vanity.

When he first arrived in Guiyang, Wang Sanshan led [-] reinforcements from other provinces.

Although the two were on opposite sides in the party struggle, officially, Shi Yongan still urged Wang Sanshan to make a good handover with Li Xun and invited him into the city.

However, Wang Sanshan did not buy the account of the "eunuch party".

Wang Sanshan led his army to station at the south gate on the grounds that "although the bandits have not rebelled, they will sooner or later. People's hearts are not settled, and I am the governor, so I can't be safe."

When the new governor took office, the civil and military officials of Guiyang had already prepared a banquet to welcome him, but he didn't even enter the city gate.

Both Li Xun and Shi Yong'an couldn't hold back their face, and all of a sudden, rumors against Wang Sanshan in Guiyang city arose without wind.

However, Wang Sanshan didn't pay attention to these things. On the second day, he moved to Zhenzhaixi, which was the base camp of the An army, hoarding Shuixi grain and grass, and there were [-] An troops stationed nearby.

The two sides are very gunpowder, but because An Bangyan has expressed his loyalty to the court, An Wei, An Bangyan's son, warmly received the new governor of Guizhou.

During the daytime, Wang Sanshan talked and laughed with Anwei, and all the Ming soldiers also sang and danced with Anjun, but at night, they suddenly attacked and defeated Anjun.

In this battle, Wang Sanshan personally led the Ming army, braved An Jun's arrows and stones, and 2 people defeated the main force of [-] in Shuixi stationed near Zhaixi.

Because there was no An Bangyan to sit in and dispatch, Shuixi was in chaos. An Wei scolded the court for its hypocrisy and called on all the chieftains in Guizhou to resist the brutal rule of the court.

On the other hand, he also led the remnants of the An army, fleeing away from Lu Guanghe.

The news just reached Chengdu today. To be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

Without waiting for Chengdu to make a decision, Wang Sanshan went out on his own to attack Shuixi, who had not rebelled on the surface.

Once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you can't win, the solution is very simple, you will be dismissed from your job and sent to prison, and your family will be ransacked and executed.

But the problem is, this guy not only won, but basically defeated Shuixi in the first battle!

In the battle of Zhaixi, the [-] Ming army defeated the [-] An army. This is a statement on the surface, but in fact the most important thing is still in the dark.

Although Shuixi had been brewing for a long time, An Bangyan was not decisive enough.

Twenty years ago, during the Battle of Pingbozhou, Shuixi was rewarded with three hundred miles of land by Emperor Wanli for participating in the war.

This time, An Bangyan obviously wanted to repeat the old trick.

After he hesitated so much, the rest of the Guizhou chieftains were actually in chaos. Some wanted to follow An Bangyan to take advantage of it, while others wanted to directly rebel.

Before Shuixi had time to rebel, the grain piled up near Zhaixi was wiped out by the Ming army, and the main force was also defeated by Wang Sanshan, who played cards out of common sense.

Once the fight broke out in Shuixi, Zhu Youxiao had no reason to put An Bangyan and An Xiaoliang back. In this way, even if the An family really wanted to separate Guizhou, it would not be easy.

After a little thought, the next thing to do is to expand the results of the battle and prevent Wang Sanshan's love enemy from advancing.

Zhu Youxiao is relatively familiar with this guy in the history of proofreading. Although his ability is relatively outstanding, his shortcomings are also extremely obvious-it is too easy to drift.

In history, this guy won several victories in a row, and then chased him all the way, was hit back by the An army, and finally died unyielding.

With such a great achievement, it is hard to guarantee that Wang Sanshan will not be ecstatic. If his love rival rushes forward and chases after Lu Guanghe and is ambushed by the An army, then it will be joyous and sad.

Zhu Youxiao quickly went through various thoughts in his mind, pondered for a moment, and said:

"In the decree, Zhu Xieyuan was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, with the title of Yushi of the Zuodu, and stationed in Chengdu. Liangzhu, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, moved to Chongqing."

"Tell Lu Qin not to stay in Sichuan, appease the Shunqing Mansion, and immediately go south to Guizhou to stabilize the situation!"

"Tomorrow the army will leave for Guizhou. Also, send someone to tell An Wei that An Bangyan is in my hands. If you want to deal with it lightly, please surrender before I arrive in Guizhou!"

Chapter 1 Thirty

Ever since his father went to face the saint, An Wei has been anxious. Sure enough, he was still detained by the emperor in Sichuan and could not return.

Shui'an's family had been negotiating with the chieftains for more than a year.

Everyone has agreed that you, An Bangyan and She Chongming, one in Sichuan and one in Guizhou, will raise righteousness at the same time, and then all the chieftains will respond together and overthrow the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty.

An Bangyan and others extravagantly acted first and then postponed the uprising, which has caused dissatisfaction.

Going to face the saint and strangling his former ally Song Wanhua touched the bottom line of some chieftains. In fact, before Wang Sanshan mobilized troops, he was in Guizhou, and it was already difficult for him to support himself.

Now, although An Wei is the candidate to succeed him as the appeasement envoy, he has become a veritable street mouse.

Looking at the ultimatum presented, he sighed, the Shui'an clan has a reputation of 20 people, if the imperial army pursues them, they will not be able to win no matter what.

What's more, An Bangyan and An Xiaoliang were still detained in the imperial army, and it was really difficult for him to turn the tide by himself.

An Bangyan is a brutal man, and he often takes pleasure in shooting and killing Han people. In terms of the overall political situation, he is also a man with two ends and no benefits.

His son is safe, but he is cowardly by nature.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's ultimatum arrived, An Wei didn't have the slightest thought of resistance, and immediately discussed how to take the blame and ask the court to surrender.

"What, you want to surrender?"

Everyone was discussing, but they heard a woman's voice outside the door, it was the mother of Anwei, She Shehui came angrily.

As soon as the woman came, she trembled in shock and subconsciously stood up to make her seat vacant.

Sheshehui is the younger sister of She Chongming. Although she is a woman, she is stronger than most of the chieftains who belonged to Shuixi.

After learning that his elder brother was executed by the emperor and the news spread to the Southwest, She Shehui was distraught and vowed to lead the Shui'an family to fight the court to the end.

She scolded An Wei for being cowardly and wanted to surrender to the enemy who detained his biological father. In fact, she knew in her heart that An Bangyan would only die faster if Shui Xi did not surrender.

"Why did I ever treason the country in Shuixi? Wang Sanshan launched a rebellion for no reason, and the court also said that it was going to reform the land and return it to the people. Is it to force the southwestern chieftain!"

"Contact Dongchuan Chieftain Lu Qianzhong, Wuding Chieftain Zhang Shichen, and Zhanyi Chieftain to set up a department..." She Shehui kept talking, and listed the names of more than [-] chieftains in a series, saying:

"Let's say that the imperial court has no way, slaughtered my Shuixi people without reason, and forced them to rebel against the southwest!"

"Mother..." An Wei turned pale with shock, and hurriedly persuaded: "The army of the imperial court, how can we wait for the chieftain to resist, don't resist the heavenly soldiers, and cause trouble for Shuixi!"

"Heavenly Soldiers!?"

Sheshehui's eyes were completely reddened by her brother's death, she sneered again and again, and said: "I am diligent in Shuixi, loyal to Ming Dynasty for generations, and have guarded the frontier for nearly 300 years!"

"Wang Sanshan slaughtered my people for no reason, but the emperor is so ignorant that he protects that thief, he is simply a fool!"

"Da Ming is in his hands, he should die!"

An Wei shook her hands, her voice became lower and lower, and she murmured:

"Be cautious, be careful..."

All the chieftains looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Shaoqing stood up alone, and said, "This time, Anshi has made up his mind to act righteously?"

She Shehui looked over and said angrily: "The imperial court in Guizhou is doing this act of common anger between man and god, the anger of heaven and the resentment of man and man, An's is following the will of God!"

The chieftains had no choice but to look at each other, seeing that She Shehui had lost his mind, no one tried to persuade him any more, they were just thinking about it in their hearts.

A few days later, Yunnan, Dongchuan Tusi.

"Hmph!" Chief Lu Qianzhong laughed loudly, and said to his subordinates, "This Sheshehui, Shechongming rebellion was suppressed by the imperial court, yet he still expects to drag me into the water..."

"What are you talking about, calling me a soldier in Songming and other places, how naive!"

One person said: "This woman, in order to avenge She Chongming, even her own husband is ignored!"

Another person sneered a few times and echoed:

"Hehe, Sheshehui is crazy right now... It's not just our Dongchuan family who received this letter, Zhang Shichen from Wuding, Shike from Zhanyi, and chieftain from Xundian... many people have received it."

"What do they say?" Lu Qianzhong asked seriously.

In fact, chieftains in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places have intricate relationships with each other, some are extremely close, and some are tense, and may fight at any time.

An Xiaoliang, chieftain of Usa, is close to Shui'an family, so he accompanied An Bangyan to face the saint.

Zhang Shichen, chieftain of Wuding, relied on Uzzah's advice for everything, this time An Xiaoliang could not come back, Uzzah was in chaos, and Wu Ding was planning to take the opportunity to escape from Uzzah's control.

Lu Qianzhong, chieftain of Dongchuan, and chieftain of Xundian were good friends of Qin and Jin Dynasties.

Chieftain Zhanyi set up a division and was An Bangyan's younger sister.

The soldiers and civilians of Xundian and Zhanyi chieftains have a very close relationship in private, almost like you beat whoever you beat.

The first time Lu Qianzhong received the news from She Shehui, he wanted to know what Lu Lian, the old friend of Xundian chieftain, was going to do.

Chieftain Xundian is waiting for chieftain Zhanyi.

As for Chieftain Zhanyi, she is An Bangyan's younger sister, and she is planning to surrender at this time.

Firstly, she didn't want to fight against the imperial court, and she also knew that under the double-team of Lu Qin and the pro-conscripts, she would never win.

Secondly, it is because the elder brother An Bangyan's life is still in the hands of the emperor. If he rebels with She Shehui, the elder brother may lose his life.

As soon as Zhanyi's letter came out, Lu Lian, chieftain of Kuandian, hurriedly asked to surrender. Lu Qianzhong and Lu Lianshi were good friends of Qin and Jin, so how could they fight?

Didn't say anything, and followed suit.

As soon as Lu Qianzhong handed over the surrender form, the chieftains of all sizes attached to Dongchuan asked for surrender one by one.

As for Zhang Shichen of Wuding, at this time, because An Xiaoliang of Usha was detained by the court, he was busy breaking away from Usha's control, so he had no time to pay attention to the enmity between Sheshehui and Zhu Youxiao.

In short, in the chieftains of the southwestern provinces, one person's orientation can often determine the orientation of a group of people.

If An Bangyan had rebelled as quickly as in history shortly after Shechongming's rebellion, An Xiaoliang would have led Uzzah to rebel, and Wu Ding Zhang Shichen would not dare to disobey Uzza's wishes, but would follow.

One with the other, of course most of these thirty or so families will scramble to follow, followed by the big and small chieftains in the southwestern provinces attached to these thirty or so families.

But the problem now is that She Chongming has been exterminated by Zhu Youxiao himself, and An Bangyan and An Xiaoliang have also been detained. Although the situation in Sichuan is not completely stable, it is not too bad.

To rebel at this time is tantamount to giving for nothing.

The effect of She Shehui's handwriting has not achieved the effect of collective response like An Bangyan's rebellion in history.

Those who responded were only two or three big cats and kittens who were determined to send food to Zhu Youxiao, and most of the rest were wait-and-see and self-protective.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was also quite embarrassed. Originally, on the issue of Shuixi, it was indeed Wang Sanshan, that idiot who was too anxious and gave She Shehui an excuse.

But Zhu Youxiao's attitude is nothing more than embarrassment, the court will never be wrong, the emperor has always been reasonable, whoever makes Daming is better than you!

At this time, it is useless to reason, it depends on whether your knife handle is strong, and if you use force, no one will say that you are unreasonable.

Chapter 131 The Battle of the Pingan Clan

Since the Wanli Year, multiple crises have coexisted in the Ming Empire.

Internally, there was financial collapse, Donglin party struggle, externally, post-Jin Xingbing troops in Liaodong, and today's chieftains rebelling in the southwest, social conflicts were unprecedentedly fierce.

Zhu Youxiao personally conquered the rebellion army, and the chieftain rebels were invincible, but the matter of the Southwest was entrusted until September this year.

Sichuan has just been pacified, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. An Bangyan's wife Sheshehui rebelled again, and the chaos in Guizhou broke out.

Some chieftains in Yunnan and Sichuan actively responded to An's family, and some chieftains ended up in the court and attacked each other. Suddenly, wars broke out in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan.
