Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 177 Yongning and Stone Pillar, the Arrival of the Angel
Long Wenguang said: "If you want to talk about Yongning Xuanfu Division, you have to talk about the She'an Rebellion.

Since the rebellion of the chieftain She Chongming in the first year of Tianqi, the rebellion was not completely over until the tenth year of Chongzhen.

It took 17 years before and after, and the land at the junction of the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, centered on Yongning Xuanfusi, was devastated, and the people's livelihood was in decline. So far, it has only recovered [-]-[-]% of its vitality.

Originally, after the She'an Rebellion was quelled, the imperial court wanted to take advantage of the trend to transfer the Yongning Xuanfu Department to the natives and set up prefectures and counties.

However, after several major discussions between the DPRK and China, many people held opposing views.

Firstly, it is because after the Bozhou Rebellion, land reform was not successful, and the country spent a lot of money and food every year, but there was not much benefit.

Second, some people believe that the reason for the She'an Rebellion was that the imperial court was too eager to reform the land and return it to the people, and oppressed the chieftains too much.

In addition, ten years after Chongzhen, the rogues and eastern captives became more and more powerful, and the country was seriously short of money and food, so the matter of reforming Yongning and returning it to the exiles could only be ignored.

In the She'an Rebellion, although the She clan was almost wiped out, the Shui'an clan still retained considerable power.

Therefore, I believe that the current Jian Guofu should mainly appease and win Yongning over, and not make it use by the enemy. "

The main figure of the She'an Rebellion, She Chongming, was killed in the third year of Chongzhen. It was only because it was a rebellion that almost all the chieftains at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan participated that it was postponed to the tenth year of Chongzhen.

Aimee Zhu knew about the She'an Rebellion, but she didn't know much about it.

Hao Guangming did find out the information about the She'an Rebellion, but found that there were too many contents, and seven years had passed, so he didn't read it to Auntie Zhu.

I am going to wait until night to study this seemingly complicated "Luxury Rebellion" with Aimee Zhu.

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly after listening to Long Wenguang's words, and then asked: "Then who is the leader of all parties in Yongning's appeasement department?"

Long Wenguang said: "Although Yongning has not been changed to return to the land, it was placed under the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Prefecture as early as the third year of Tianqi, so the civil servants should be mainly the prefect of Xuzhou and Xuyong Tongzhi.

As for the local chieftains—after the She’an Rebellion was put down, the imperial court took the policy of subdividing and weakening the chieftains, and distributed the territory that belonged to the big chieftains such as the She family to many small chieftains, so now there is no local chieftain who can be the leader.

However, in the past, the She clan and the Shui'an clan were very closely related. Now that the She clan is gone, it is the Shui'an clan that has a certain appeal to the chieftains in Yongning.

As for the generals of my Ming Dynasty in Yongning, the Hou family, the hereditary commander of the Yongning Guard in the past, is the most useful.

Now the commander of Yongning Guard is Hou Liangzhu's adopted son Hou Tianci, who used to serve as a guerrilla general to suppress bandits from Yang Sichang, but it was only a few years in vain.

Coupled with the poor livelihood of the people in Yongning and the sparse population, I am afraid that Yongning Guard does not have many soldiers available. "

After listening to Long Wenguang's words, Auntie Zhu thought deeply.

Soon, she noticed the silence in the hall, so she raised her head and said, "The specific arrangement of Yongning Guard, I will also discuss with you, if you have any good suggestions, you can come up with them."

Not all the people present knew something about Yongning Xuanfusi, Yongningwei, and the Hou family, or only had a half-knowledge, and they wanted to ask Long Wenguang, Liu Linchang and others for a long time.

Therefore, after hearing what Aimee Zhu said, Li Yan and the others immediately started talking in low voices.

The military commander surrounded Zeng Ying.

Although Zeng Ying was young, he grew up in Chengdu after all, and had fought in Chongqing for half a year, so he knew a little about Yongning next to him.

Auntie Zhu took the opportunity to take out her mobile phone and communicate with Hao Guangming by text——Hao Guangming spoke while she typed.

She types pretty fast now.

However, Hao Guangming didn't have any mature ideas about how to arrange Yongning Guard, so he searched for information about Hou Tianci and other members of the Hou family and told Aimee Zhu.

As a result, Aimee Zhu was silent for a while after listening.

To talk about Hou Tianci, we must talk about Hou Liangzhu.

During the pacification of the She'an Rebellion, Hou Liangzhu created the "Southwest Great Victory", and was awarded the hereditary commander of Yongningwei because of his meritorious service, and he was awarded a thousand acres of meritorious land.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's troops flowed into Sichuan, and Hou Liangzhu led his troops to reject the bandits in Mianzhou. He was outnumbered and died in a fierce battle.

Chongzhen didn't even know the news of Hou Liangzhu's death in battle, so he decreed to deprive Hou Liangzhu of his official title, causing the Hou family to suffer injustice.

Later, although Chongzhen knew that there was an oolong, he did not rehabilitate Hou Liangzhu.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Hou Tianci went to the capital Fuque to express his ambition, and expressed his willingness to lead the Hou family's children and the old general of Hou Liangzhu, recruit strong troops, fight bloody battles with thieves, snow his father's shame, and report to the country. He was attacked by guerrillas and suppressed bandits from Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang praised Hou Tianci's elite soldiers, so Chongzhen added a rank to him, and he became a commanding acquaintance.

Because of his meritorious service, he gained another rank and became the commander of Yongningwei again, but he was no longer hereditary.

During the Southern Ming Dynasty, Hou Tianci enshrined Emperor Yongli, and successively fought against the Daxi Army and the Qing Army, and many of Hou's children died in battle.

In the end, Hou Tianci also died in the Qujing civil war where the three kings of the Great Western Army fought.

The rest of the Hou family was disheartened by this, and it happened that the Qing government allowed the Hou family to return to their hometown to serve the people and enjoy the previous fief, so the Hou family was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

From a historical point of view, although the Hou family was also surrendered later, what they did in the past is enough to be called loyalty.

Especially Hou Tianci, who not only has good military ability, but also is quite loyal to Daming.

After Hao Guangming finished talking about the Hou family's affairs, it didn't take long for the Hall of Chengyun to quiet down.

Li Yan came out and said: "Jianguo, I thought that I could issue a decree to Yongning and call Hou Tianci to Chengdu for an audience.

If he is willing to respect the state of supervision, he can be named a general of the Yongning garrison and ordered to bring two battalions of soldiers and horses from Chengdu back to Yongning to guard, so as to strengthen the hearts of the chieftains in Yongning and the surrounding areas. "

The existence of Yongningwei is to suppress the local chieftain.

Although after the She'an Rebellion, Yongning's chieftain power has been weakened a lot.

But after seven years of training, if enemies come in the future and collude with the chieftains, these chieftains may not be unreasonable.

And if these chieftains are not to be dissatisfied, the most appropriate policy at the moment is to guard them with strong soldiers.

So Auntie Zhu nodded and said, "If you have no objections, this matter will be played according to Li Duli's instructions."

"The minister has no objection."

At this time, Zhu Yu said again: "Old General Qin Liangyu of Shizhu has fought for our Ming Dynasty for dozens of years, and he has made a lot of military achievements. I think it should be an exception to confer title on him, so I can confer the title of Marquis of Zhongzhen."

These words almost stunned everyone in the hall.

Immediately, Liu Zhibo couldn't help but said: "Jianguo, it's possible to make an exception for the old general of Qin, but wouldn't it be too much to be directly named a marquis?"

Zhang Jimeng also couldn't help coming out and said: "My title of Daming is very valuable. Although Old General Qin has made a lot of contributions, it's not easy to be a Marquis directly. It's better to be lowered."

The rest of the people had their own thoughts and didn't speak for a while.

Aunt Zhu said: "You two know that the old General Qin will live a long life this year?"

Liu Zhibo had a lot of correspondence with Qin Liangyu before, and he knew Qin Liangyu quite well, so he said, "Old General Qin was born in the second year of Wanli, and now he is seventy-five years old."

Auntie Zhu asked again, "Then when did Old General Qin start fighting for Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Zhibo heard that there was more sweat on his forehead, but he still replied: "It should be the 27th year of Wanli, during the Yang Yinglong Rebellion in Pingbo Prefecture."

Aunt Zhu said: "Based on this, Old General Qin has fought 45 battles for our Ming Dynasty, right?

Dare I ask Liu Xunyan, how many 45s are there in life?With the old general of Qin's longevity, how many more years can he fight for our Ming Dynasty?

I heard that the old general Qin led troops to help Chongqing, but because of the few major generals, he was defeated by the bandits.

The Shizhu Xuanfu Division has always sent troops to help in the imperial court's wars, and without thinking about it, it knows that the people are running out of money.

Old General Qin and Shi Zhu have paid so much for Daming, shouldn't this palace grant her a Marquis? "

Liu Zhibo was left speechless by Auntie Zhu's phone call, so he could only bow his head and say, "It should."

With a smile on her lips, Auntie Zhu said, "After the meeting is over, you and Zhang Jimeng will go to Dongfu to assist Li Duli, and will write out the purpose of the old general Qin's title. Remember, you must write it well."

Zhang Jimeng and Liu Zhibo responded together: "Yes."

The smile on the corner of Aimee Zhu's mouth became wider.

In fact, she gave Qin Liangyu the title of Marquis not only because Qin Liangyu really deserved the title, but also because she needed to establish a heroic female figure who broke the prejudice of the world as soon as possible.

Because she knew that in an environment like the end of the Ming Dynasty, the more outstanding female celebrities who broke the secular prejudice, the less gender resistance she would have when she took charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Standing up from the throne, Auntie Zhu said loudly: "Let's stop here for today's meeting. After the meeting is over, Governor Long also please go to the East Mansion to take a look, so as not to write the edict sent to all parties inappropriately.

As for the generals, when you return to the camp, you will step up your military training. When the autumn harvest is over, you will listen to the military orders of the Supervisory Government to put down the bandits in Sichuan and those who refuse to obey the Imperial Palace. "

The red lady and other six generals immediately clasped their fists together and saluted: "Your servants take orders!"

···
mid-September.

Long'an Mansion.

As the prefect, Zhan Tianyan was not in Pingwu County, the prefecture, but came to Jiangyou with a guard of honor and a standard battalion of 3000 people.

Long'an is located in the northwest of Sichuan. It can be said that nine out of ten of the places are high mountains. Only the southernmost Jiangyou County falls in the Sichuan Basin, which is a plain.

With the Fujiang River running through and irrigating, the two sides of the bank became fertile fields.

Therefore, Jiangyou can be said to be the granary of Long'an Prefecture.

Now is the season of rice harvesting, Zhan Tianyan was worried when he thought about the plentiful bandits in Sichuan, so he brought Biaoying to check.

However, his battalion only started recruiting and training when they heard about Zhang Xianzhong's entry into Sichuan at the end of spring. Soon after forming an army, they could deal with ordinary bandits. If they encountered Zhang Xianzhong's troops, they might have to retreat.

Zhan Tianyan is already at the age of knowing destiny (fifty), with gray hair, thin face, neither tall nor short.

He was walking in the field, although there was a team of officers and soldiers behind him, but the people in the field did not hide when they saw him, but bowed to him one by one from a distance.

When Zhan Tianyan saw them, they all smiled back.

If he sees an old man who is older than him, he will stop to greet and chat.

When the nearby people saw it, they brought tea and fruit to those who were brave enough.

Because the common people know that the prefect Zhan is a good official—their life has been much better in recent years than before.

Seeing a grey-haired old man resting on the edge of the field after cutting the rice, Zhan Tianyan went over and asked, "Big brother, how is the rice harvest this year?"

The old man hastily saluted Zhan Tianyan and asked Zhan Tianyan to help him up.

He seemed to know that Zhan Tianyan was a good official and approachable, so the old man was not too scared, and replied: "This year's millet harvest is not bad. After paying taxes, grain and rent, there should be a lot left. I won't starve a year ago." gone."

After hearing this, Zhan Tianyan sighed secretly: Even if the harvest is good, the people will not go hungry until next year, and they will still have to suffer before the wheat harvest in the spring of next year.

The common people are in trouble.

Immediately, he noticed that the old man was not happy, and there was obvious worry on his face, so he asked, "What's the problem with Big Brother?"

The old man said: "I heard that there is another war in the east, and the eight kings are going to fight to Chengdu.

I have experienced the incidents of Chuang Wang and the Eight Great Kings several years ago. No matter how good the harvest is, it is useless. When the bandits come, everything is gone.

Old parents, you are a good official, tell me, will the rogues still call us this time? "

If it was some arrogant officials, they might reprimand the old man at this time for not using such titles as "Chuang Wang" or "Eight Great Kings".

But Zhan Tianyan didn't.

He remembered the news he had sent someone from the east some time ago, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, the Eight Great Kings fought to Chengdu, but they have already been defeated by the government army, and they will not come to Long'an again."

"Really?" The old man subconsciously asked, and before Zhan Tianyan answered, he chose to believe it, and said with a smile: "Okay, ok, now we can safely collect the grain."

Zhan Tianyan wanted to say something to the old man, when suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

Seeing the coming people wearing the clothes of the county police officers, the officers who followed Zhan Tianyan gave way.

But Zhan Tianyan's guards were not negligent and stopped him.

The rider was quite sensible, and immediately got off his horse to salute, and shouted: "Fu Zun, an angel has come to the county town, please go back to the city quickly to receive the order!"

"Angel?" Zhan Tianyan frowned and asked, "Did the angel say where he came from?"

"It is said that it is from Chengdu, and the purpose of supervising the country is specially transmitted."
