I'm a big dick

Chapter 521 Untitled
"Guests and soldiers gather and disperse impermanently, and they cannot stay for a long time. It is better to distribute the farmland to those who have meritorious service, but trading is prohibited. This way, there is no need to attract immigrants. Guizhou has a large number of household registrations and self-sufficient troops."

"Just to put down the rebellion in this way, 80 troops should be used, more than [-] salaries will be spent every year, and the time should be three years, and all the bandits will be wiped out."

Fu Zonglong's anti-rebellion policy was very outdated. Although the She'an rebels ravaged Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, the generals of the Ming army did not think it would take too long.

This is also the case in history. Every time Li Ting sweeps the acupoints and thinks that he can make a full effort, it has been delayed for more than ten years because of the deep water, the complicated terrain, or the lack of food and payment, or the failure of the middle ambush, which wastes manpower and financial resources in vain.

However, the emperor agreed, and he gave his full support against all opinions, and transferred Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, to put Fu Zonglong in full power to suppress the rebellion.

As long as the tempo is steady and you press forward step by step, the extravagant rebels are nothing to worry about, and Shuixi is only a tiny place, and it is difficult to sustain it for a long time.

In fact, this is similar to the Liaodong War.Although Jiannu was rampant, as long as the Ming Kingdom stabilized its position and did not give Jiannu the opportunity to plunder and grow stronger, it would consume energy and energy to kill Jiannu.

After all, the size gap is huge, and the harsh natural environment is obvious.Even if all of Liaodong was given to Jiannu, they would not be able to support themselves, and famine and economic crisis would be enough to defeat Jiannu.

But the Ming Dynasty in history was just the opposite. It was repeatedly defeated by Jiannu in Liaodong, but it still had to take the initiative to send them up to be beaten, and took the initiative to give Jiannu food and supplies.

Not only did they despise Jianlao in their mouths, but the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty did not regard Jianlao as a serious problem in their hearts.I always thought that if I won a big battle, I would be able to destroy the slaves in the Liao Dynasty.

It was this kind of thinking deviation, or fallacy, that repeatedly ruined the elite of the Ming army and gave Jiannu the opportunity to fight stronger and stronger.

Chongzhen also had such a stupid mentality, so he would believe the nonsense of "Five Years of Ping Liao".

The emperor did not make such a mistake, nor did he set a time limit.He takes the long view and thinks deeply.The two battles must not only be won steadily, but also two strong armies from the north and the south must be trained to lay the foundation for his expansion plan.

It is precisely based on this principle and because of the imbalance in investment that Liaodong has been pacified, but the suppression of rebellion in the southwest is still going on.

Of course, the emperor's goal was also achieved.After dressing up, training, and using battles instead of training, the Ming army that encircled and suppressed the rebels was indeed getting stronger and stronger, and a group of young officers who dared to fight emerged.

Xu Sanshao is one of them. He graduated from martial arts and traveled long distances to the southwest. He has experienced dozens of major battles and small battles.

"The ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains and forests are densely covered. It is indeed the advantage of the traitors. But judging from the current situation, they can't hold it anymore."

Even so, when Xu Hongyu came back from another attack, he was still quite troubled by the complicated terrain of Shuixi.However, the blockade and siege have lasted for so long, and the rebels are almost exhausted in terms of food, grass and materials, especially salt, which is even more scarce.

Xu Rubin was born as a Jinshi in Wushu, and also a military officer who graduated from martial arts. He went to the southwest with Xu Hongyu, fought side by side for several years, and forged a profound fighting friendship.

Hearing Xu Hongyu's judgment, Xu Rubin took it for granted, and said, "No matter how complicated the terrain is, we have figured out a lot. When the food, grass and materials are fully supplied and the transportation is guaranteed, we will launch in all directions and slowly compress. The rebels are short of food and salt. , resolutely dare not continue to hold on, and is eager to fight to reverse the situation. This is the time for the decisive battle to destroy the thieves."

Xu Hongyu nodded in agreement, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that we can't put down the rebellion and exterminate the bandits before the Spring Festival and present a gift for Long Live."

"Yes!" Xu Rubin felt the same, and sighed: "East Liaodong has been pacified, but the rebels in She'an have not been wiped out. It's really a pity."

After a pause, Xu Rubin found a reason again, and said, "But it's not our fault, the imperial court's support is biased towards Liaodong!"

"Indeed." Xu Hongyu kicked away the stones under his feet and said, "But there is no other way. Long live used all the gold flowers and silver to counter the rebellion. It is not easy for the imperial court to support the two wars. Fortunately, Liaodong has been flattened, and She'an The traitor is also within reach."

At this moment, a warning signal was sent out ahead, and the soldiers hid quickly, the speed was astonishing.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the surroundings were quiet.

Suddenly, the tense silence was broken by gunfire, which became more and more intense, and there was a booming explosion.

Xu Hongyu and Xu Rubin immediately split up and acted separately, one led people forward to reinforce, and the other led his troops to advance behind.

The fight broke out suddenly, but not violently.After Xu Hongyu brought reinforcements up, he quickly eliminated this group of enemies he encountered by chance, and quickly left, turning to his own area.

"They've all become soft-legged shrimps?" Xu Hongyu was not surprised. The trend of our strong enemy being weak has not changed, and the lack of food and salt has seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the rebels.

Shama Buda, a soldier of the Yi nationality, is already a small banner officer, and he has been allocated [-] acres of farmland. With his military salary, the family lives quite well.

Hehe, listening to the chief's teasing, Sharma Buda laughed twice, and said, "If you don't eat salt, you will have no energy, and you will feel dizzy, lazy, and confused."

Xu Hongyu glanced at Sharma Buda and patted him on the shoulder thoughtfully.Without personal experience, you will not know the reaction to salt deficiency.Apparently, Sharma Bhuda had this experience before.

Shama Buda didn't understand the meaning of the officer's actions. He stretched out his hand to push the prisoner, ordered him to leave quickly, and said in a showy manner: "The last time I went home to visit relatives, I also bought some salt. But I have two big vats of pickles at home. The mother-in-law said that salt is not expensive now, so save more."

Xu Hongyu said with a smile: "If you have a budget-conscious person in your family, you can live a good life. You are blessed! After the five-year service period is over, you will have [-] acres of land, and you can live well when you go home."

"Go home?" Shama Buda looked very surprised, shook his head and said, "I'm already an officer, can't I be able to work until forty?"

After a pause, Shama Buda added: "Isn't the imperial court still recruiting Yi people to serve as soldiers? I am a Yi person, so my words can be trusted!"

It is not good for the chieftain to reform the land and return it to the stream, and he can no longer be the hereditary emperor of the land.But it is beneficial to the ordinary people under the chieftain's jurisdiction, they are like slaves.

Therefore, the emperor specifically told Fu Zonglong to recruit more soldiers from ethnic minorities, and to properly accommodate the ethnic minorities who escaped from the chieftain's jurisdiction.

In the future, if the chieftain wants to rebel when the land is changed to return to the local people, the minority soldiers will play a very important role in suppressing it.

At the same time, the ethnic minorities who left the chieftain can live well, attract more ethnic minorities, and have an impact on the rule of the chieftain.

Think about it, if there is no chieftain, or if the people below are unwilling to fight for their own interests, he can only hold his nose to accept the imperial court's decree, and he will not have much resistance if he is round or flat.

At present, this policy has not been implemented on a large scale. The chaos in She'an has not yet been resolved, and the national power has not yet reached a strong state. It is obviously unwise to force many chieftains to take risks.

But when the conditions are ripe, the emperor will take the bottom line and liberate the serfs.Give yourself freedom, cultivate the land, and see how many people still work for the chieftain?
