I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Prior to this, Zhu Youxiao ignored him.

When the news of the big victory came out, all the turmoil in the court seemed to disappear with this big victory. Now Zhu Youxiao received all the memorials, all of which were humble congratulations.

With the great victory in the Southwest, the emperor's prestige began to rise, and the eunuchs also began to exert their strength.

For example, Cui Chengxiu of the Ministry of War and Gu Bingqian of the Cabinet all went to Shu to defend General Ma Hong and impeach Donglin officials for usurping power.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to dismiss a group of Donglin speech officials, which is a matter in Beijing.

Xu Keqiu is dead, and the Donglin Party naturally hopes that its own people will continue to be in charge of Sichuan. The cabinet is drafted and recommended a few candidates.

They are Wei Dazhong in the official department, Fang Kezhuang, the censor of Zhejiang Province, and Liu Kexun, the deputy envoy of Linguan military preparation who has made great contributions to the quelling of the chaos.

But it's a pity that Zhu Youxiao didn't even read the inscription book that Zijingshi sent over thousands of miles away, so he ordered Wang Chaofu to burn it.

If you live in the Southwest, you have to be self-willed!

Zhu Xieyuan has made great contributions to calming the chaos, why can't he continue to be the governor of Sichuan?

Not only do I want him to continue serving, but I also want to give him the title of Minister of the Ministry of War so that he can also manage Guizhou military affairs in name.

As for Wang Sanshan, although he is a member of the Donglin Party, he also made great contributions to quickly put down the chaos this time, so let him continue to be the governor of Guizhou.

It is worth mentioning that the censor Yong'an, who had conflicts with the former governor Li Shuang in Guiyang at that time, was also recommended by Wei Zhongxian this time, and was quietly transferred to the capital and served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

To pacify the war, the rest is how to deal with the aftermath. Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to just leave, and the southwest is in chaos again.

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

Counting Shui'an's family, there are 34 big chieftains that can be put on the table and lost in the battle.

For these 34 relatively large chieftains, Zhu Youxiao first issued an order to kill the two chief culprits, the She family and the An family, leaving no one behind.

The rest, like Wuding Zhang, etc., only punish the chief villain, and promise not to bring up the old things again, so as to calm people's hearts.

After this time, the Yongning Xuanfu Division under Shechongming's control will be abolished by the imperial court, and all the land of Yongning Xuanfu Division will be merged into Syria Prefecture, and the Syria Prefecture Prefecture will be established, which will be governed by officials appointed by the central government.

Since then, Yongning Xuanfu Division has completely become history.

Chieftains who participated in the rebellion, no matter how big or small, were disqualified from inheriting Xuanfu envoys for their descendants, but if they passed the examination, they could be allowed to serve as state and prefectural officials in the southwest region.

This involves an important policy, which is to open lectures in the southwest region and eliminate the chieftain culture.

Donglin scholars who have nowhere to use their strength, as well as local Jinshi and students who are waiting to fill their vacancies, all come here to experience it, and the euphemistic name is:

The time has come when Daming needs you!

Even Zhu Youxiao stipulated that if you have a reputation and want to be an official, after two years of lecturing in the Southwest, the imperial court will definitely arrange for you to fill the vacancy.

Chapter 133 The Rise of Sha and Pu

In fact, as early as the Hongwu period, sociology had already existed in the Southwest.

It's just that after it was established, it didn't pay too much attention. It's just that some children of Han people who migrated here went to school, and most of them artificially left the border.

Today, Zhu Youxiao personally conquered the great victory, not only to deal with the overwhelmed chieftains, but also to encourage the local natives to study together with the Han people.

This first decree is aimed at scholars with high reputations such as Jinshi and Jiansheng who are waiting to fill the vacancies in other regions.

Many people have to wait for many years to fill the vacancy after they get the honor. There are even young Jinshi who are able to fill the vacancy in their twilight years. This is an example of a county magistrate.

As soon as this decree came out, it directly caused an uproar across the country.

In the minds of many scholars, Southwest and Liaodong are two places that should be kept as far away as possible. One is the uncertainty of these two places.

Various contradictions and civil and military struggles have made the situation in the Southwest more and more dangerous and chaotic. It is by no means a big victory that can be completely declared.

These decrees may not have much effect in the short term, but Zhu Youxiao firmly believes that this is an act that will benefit the present and benefit the future.

There will never be a shortage of officials in the world. In order to get a job as an official, they can do many things that ordinary people can't imagine.

Zhu Youxiao encouraged lectures in the Southwest to educate the indigenous people. For many people, the first few years were an opportunity.

Those who have achieved great fame and come out after giving lectures in the southwestern provinces for two years will be filled by the imperial court.As soon as this kind of express regulations came out, many scholars who boasted that they were full of knowledge but had nowhere to serve the country were excited.

The Southwest is poor and backward, and the aborigines have deep conflicts with the Han people. Many people are caught in the choice of life.

Should we continue to wait for the end to be filled, or should we just grit our teeth and stomp our feet, go to the Southwest to give lectures for two years, and come out to serve as an official?

Who knows if this policy will continue two years later, after passing this village, there may not be this shop...

Zhu Youxiao threw this issue to the scholars in the world. For the imperial court, this policy serves multiple purposes.

It can not only allow many scholars who have no experience in governance to go to the southwest to practice, and select talented people to serve the court.

It is also possible to weaken the strength of local scholars, and send some scholars who are full and have nothing to do to the southwestern border to do some practical things.

The She'an Rebellion was put down in the first year of Tianqi. For Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, Zhu Youxiao wiped out all the more than [-] big chieftains, and set up a state capital on their chieftains, and appointed officials to manage them.

After the Yongning Xuanfu Division was merged into the Xuzhou Prefecture, the largest chieftain in Sichuan, under the promotion of Zhu Xieyuan and Hou Liangzhu, will probably be completed this year.

For Guizhou, where the situation is relatively complicated, Zhu Youxiao deliberated several times, and finally issued an order on the way to the class.

First, the Xuanwei Division in Guizhou was changed to Shuixi Xuanwei Division, and the post of Xuanwei Envoy was removed. The system of Xuanwei Division was retained in name, but it was completely changed to the management of Liuguan.

Second, they seized most of the land of several big chieftains that Su and An's exchanged with each other, and set up twelve counties, each of which belonged to the prefecture and prefecture.

Try to make the big chieftains in Guizhou disappear one by one.

Third, in this rebellion, Dongchuan chieftain Lu Qianzhong and more than a dozen families did not help the rebels, but they also resisted the imperial court's recruitment.

In response to this, the imperial court will deprive Dongchuan, Kuandian and other chieftains of the twelve horse heads of land, and set up Kaizhou, which belongs to Guizhou Prefecture.

And for these more than ten chieftains, further strictly limit the number of camps and the number of soldiers.

Fourth, a large number of local civilians were recruited, 36 cities were built along the river, three new guards were installed, new troops were recruited, and generals who had made great contributions to countering the rebellion were appointed to guard them.

If you are interested, you can see from the map that these 36 guards and offices have formed a large net, almost enclosing the entire Guizhou Province.

Once there is another war, it will be settled sooner or later.

As for Lu Qin, the temporary governor of the four provinces, Zhu Youxiao did not let him go back this time, but instead let him continue the military affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou and stationed in Guiyang.

This governor, he will be in office for at least a few more years until the southwest region is almost stable.

No one with outstanding ability stays behind, and I don’t feel at ease when he leaves.

Riding on the horse, Zhu Youxiao stared at the direction of the capital, then looked back at the sunset behind him, shook his head, and said:

"Go back to Beijing!"

Compared with before leaving Beijing, many people have a little tenacity on their immature faces.The current Zhu Youxiao is no longer who he was before.

Accompanied by ritual music, the sound of drums, and banners all over the sky, the army and horses that left Beijing a few months ago returned to Beijing triumphantly with the might of a great victory.

In the capital, there are more difficulties waiting for the emperor.

……

This big victory is actually a tragic victory.

The turmoil this time contained almost all the troops in Sichuan and Guizhou, as well as most of the troops in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, and they also moved back and forth.

Fortunately, it took only one year for Zhu Youxiao to quell the war that had been fought for more than ten years in history.

Unfortunately, after a few months, the loss of the war alone brought the Ming Dynasty's government to the point of collapse.

Listening to Wang Chaofu's report on the war losses, Zhu Youxiao's heart was bleeding.

Only those who are in the middle of the war can know how a war of this scale will shake the country.

The long-planned rebellion by the chieftains not only brought disasters to the people in Sichuan and Guizhou, but also caused the destruction of countless families and the separation of their wives and children. It also had a profound influence on the other provinces.

Taking Yunnan as an example, Zhu Youxiao once ordered Mu Qiyuan, the Duke of Guizhou, to lead his troops to help in the war, but he shirked it in many ways and turned a blind eye.

The same is true of his father, Mu Changzuo, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and closed the house tightly. The two were really father and son.

Xu Chengming, the governor of the capital of Yunnan, was defeated successively, causing the local government and army to continue to send troops to aid Sichuan, and their strength dropped sharply.

Many local chieftains in Yunnan also directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion.

Small fights, that is, when the Yunnan army came to aid Sichuan, they sent troops to plunder places, attack cities and seize territories, and those who made more noise even captured the Acropolis.

All kinds of big events and small feelings cannot be described in detail.Although Yunnan was not an area in the middle of the war, its losses were not small.

This is the case in Yunnan, and it is also the case in other provinces.

Some chieftains from Yunnan and Guangxi were ordered to help Sichuan, and mutinies occurred on the road, or they clashed with the Ming army, and fought violently. Then the two sides fought each other and were broken by the rebels.This kind of thing is not uncommon.

After the rebellion was suppressed, the chieftains who participated in the war began to ask the imperial court for the credit for suppressing the rebellion. Land, people, cattle and horses were all very difficult to deal with.

When the chieftain started a quarrel, whether they participated in the rebellion or participated in the counter-rebellion, they all had common interests.

It is these interests that allow the chieftains to communicate with each other, and there is chaos here in Chongming, and Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guizhou provinces are almost all at war for a while.

However, the main battlefields of this counterinsurgency are in Sichuan and Guizhou.

At that time, Guizhou and Sichuan sent letters to other provinces several times, requesting to send troops for reinforcements, and they also borrowed money to buy armaments to defend the city, just like the former governor of Sichuan, Li Xun.

However, the rest of the provinces also have different degrees of chieftain rebellion, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. How can there be spare troops to rescue them?

Min Hongxue, governor of Yunnan, once wrote back to Li Xun.

The letter was full of sarcasm, saying that you, Li Xun, were also thinking about me, that Yunnan was in chaos, and that you wanted to send troops to Sichuan, and that you wanted me to die.

In short, behind this great victory is the sharp decline in the military power of the imperial court in the southwestern provinces, as well as the chaos and disorder among the chieftains.

Since Wanli, the discipline of officers and soldiers in the southwestern provinces has been lax, and they are almost unbearable.

Relatively speaking, although the native soldiers were insufficiently equipped, they were more brave. During the three major expeditions of Wanli, it was the first of its kind for large-scale recruitment of native soldiers to participate in the war.

After each war, the chieftains were rewarded on a large scale. The chieftains who participated in the war further expanded their armaments and absorbed many prisoners.

As a result, the power rose sharply, burying the hidden danger of chieftain chaos in the southwest.

She Chongming and An Bangyan were rewarded by Emperor Wanli after participating in the Battle of Bozhou, and gradually formed a separatist regime in Sichuan and Guizhou.

After this war, Zhu Youxiao stayed in Guiyang for a while, deliberately suppressing the chieftain by force, without routine rewards.

This made the chieftains who participated in the war dissatisfied, but it also restrained their growth.

But the good times didn’t last long, and officials soon reported that in the fight against the rebellion, the local magistrate of Ami Prefecture, Pu Mingsheng, and Annan’s chief judge, Si Shayuan, etc. played a lot of roles, actively suppressed the rebellion, and defeated many rebel chieftains.

The two recruited many broken soldiers who rebelled against the chieftain, and together with their meritorious service in countering the rebellion, their prestige and military strength began to inevitably increase.

Of course, the two of them don't have any thoughts of rebellion now, after all She Chongming and An Bangyan are dying before their eyes.

The imperial army quickly resolved the wars involving several provinces, and even attracted the emperor's own conquest, which is enough to show that the importance of Guizhou affairs is no less than that of Liao affairs.

The combat effectiveness of the new army of the Yongwei Battalion also made them terrified.

Chapter 134

Yunnan chieftains Shayuan, Pu Mingsheng, Long Zaitian, Wu Bikui, etc. played a lot of roles. They took advantage of the previous policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" to actively suppress the rebellion for the imperial court and annexed them in a grandiose manner.

He wants to gain the trust of the emperor, but also expands his own strength.

Zhu Youxiao's heart is like a mirror, and Fu Zonglong, the military equipment of Guizhou, also sees these chieftain's careful thoughts, and said:

"Sha, Pu and other chieftains cannot be guaranteed in the future. At present, it seems that there are indeed thoughts of gloating over the extravagance and An'an, but because of the extravagance and an, they dare not repeat the rebellion and take the lead in launching trouble."

"I believe that, in order to prevent another chieftain from causing disaster to the Southwest, His Majesty should deal with Sha, Pu and other chieftains as soon as possible, and punish and exterminate them, or let Liao affairs be used."

Although Fu Zonglong's opinion is not very wise, it does have its merits.

As far as the present is concerned, the counterinsurgency has just been won, and Sha Yuan and Pu Mingming have not yet dared to rebel. Perhaps their thoughts are not as strong as they were during the Chongzhen period in history.

If it can be used for one's own use, no matter if it is simply used up after the gold, or it is really used, it can resolve the worries of Sharp's rise.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao adopted Fu Zonglong's proposal, and when he just returned to the vicinity of Luoyang, he issued an order to Sha Yuan and Pu Mingsheng.

On the grounds of their meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, the two were granted the title of garrison, and a set of official uniforms was given to them, and they were ordered to set off immediately to lead the Shapu chieftain army to aid Liaodong, and returned to Xiong Tingbi's account.

Those who received the order at the same time included Wu Bikui, Long Zaitian and other native officials.

How they reacted when they received this order is still unknown, but Zhu Youxiao went all the way north and returned in triumph.

The news of the great victory of the personal conquest came, and the whole world celebrated.

Only Zhu Youxiao and the generals who commanded the army knew about the miserable separation that accompanied this great victory. In short, at this time, the people are always lively.

Before returning to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao sent the three guards back to his hometown Xingzhen in Tongzhou. Facing the tens of thousands of generals who accompanied him with the army, for the first time, he showed his reluctance.

Everyone felt the same about the emperor's feelings, but they just stood solemnly in the field, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
