  Chapter 514 511 [Zunyi still belongs to Guizhou]

  Anlong was beheaded. Within three generations, all the direct males were beheaded.

  The heads of Anwei and Anlong father and son sent Yi soldiers to ride on horses in boats and take them to various places in the south to spread the prestige of their heads.

  Mu Kui from Huozhuozexi, Deduzexi, and Douzexi all expressed their willingness to join the army, and sent their eldest son and warriors to accompany the army to help out.

  Huozuoze River is Nayong County, and Duze River and Duoyou Zexi are Zhijin County.

  Although Liu Mu Zexi didn't see his head, he also took the initiative to join the Datong Army. Instead of going to Huang Yao to surrender, he surrendered to Fei Yinggong, because Liumuzexi was very close to Guiyang, and he had already received news of An Rupan's defeat.

  The chieftains of the Yi nationality often rebel, but they are not as strong as the chieftains of the Zhuang nationality.

  Many of the Zhuang soldiers are professional mercenaries who rely on fighting for the Ming government for a living. Sometimes they deliberately provoked wars, and then helped the Ming government to quell the chaos, taking the opportunity to rob money, food and land. Therefore, the two divisions in Guangxi have been fighting for many years, and some corners and corners are still not recovered.

   On the Shuixi side, after Huang Yao murdered and established his prestige, the surrounding chieftains quickly surrendered.

   Half a month later, Huang Yao led his troops to Shexiang Post. His soldiers fought more and more. In addition to the Datong army, peasant soldiers and civilian husbands, the number of Yi troops accompanying the army reached 6,000.

  The Yi soldiers at Shexiangyi, how dare they resist? Retreat directly to Water West City.

  Shuixi City is located in the urban area of ​​Qianxi in later generations.

  At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Shexiang took refuge in the imperial court and organized the people to build the Nine Posts in Longchang to strengthen the imperial court's control over Guizhou.

   Among them, Guli Station has the largest scale and has become a transportation hub in western Guizhou.

  Shuixi Station is located on the west side of Guli Station. It was originally the garrison of the Ming Dynasty army, which is equivalent to laying a nail in the hinterland of Shuixi Tusi to control the Quartet.

  In the third year of Chongzhen, the An family was defeated, and the land was reformed to return to Liuzhou. The Ming army expanded Shuixi Station into Shuixi City.

  A few years ago, An Rupan became self-reliant, stole Shuixi City, and used it as the ruling center. It wasn't until Guiyang was conquered that the old nest was moved there, and Shuixi City was handed over to his younger brother to manage.

   In Shuixi City and its surrounding areas, there are a large number of Han people, and the situation is similar to that in Dafang City. However, among the Han people here, only some military households became slaves, and merchants, farmers, and craftsmen continued to live as usual.

  An Rushuo received a letter from his brother Pan Rupan to persuade him to surrender, and also learned that Huang Yao's army had arrived at Shexiangyi, and suddenly became disheartened.

  Huang Yao's army is in the west, Fei Yinggong's army is in the east, and An Rushuo has been trapped.

   Moreover, all chieftains either died or surrendered, leaving only An Rushuo to fight alone. Xiongsuo Zexi and Zewo Zexi behind him were also a little ready to move, wanting to bypass An Rushuo and surrender.

   "Father, let's surrender. Uncle's tens of thousands of troops have been defeated, how can we survive?" Anba persuaded.

  An Rushuo is still unwilling, he wants to continue to be a toast. But the Datong Army offered him the condition that the whole family immigrate to Taiwan, and they were not even allowed to stay in Guizhou.

  How can anyone bully people like this?

An Ba said anxiously: "Father, if you surrender now, you can still go to Taiwan with one thousand taels of silver. If you resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, our whole family will lose their lives! Uncle said in the letter, if not for cousin Even so, they fought against the Datong Army, and they couldn’t even go to Taiwan. They had to immigrate to Luzon with the whole family. The child didn’t want to die, and he didn’t want to go to Luzon. Song, at least Taiwan is considered Fujian."

  An Rushuo walked up and down the room, upset and undecided.

   "Mu Kui, the Datong army is here!" A soldier came to report.

  An Rushuo sighed dejectedly: "Let's open the city."

"yes!"

  Anba was overjoyed, and immediately prepared to go out of the city and kneel to meet the heavenly soldiers.

  An's lair, Shuixi City, was taken without bloodshed. After Huang Yao entered the city, he immediately asked the military officials and missionaries to release the serfs as the people, and then allocated households and farmland to the people near Shuixi City.

  Huang Yao did not leave for the time being, fearing that the chieftain would rebel if he surrendered, so he had to help the civil servants to calm down the situation.

   Knowing that Shuixi City was taken, Fei Yinggong from Guiyang left some farmers and soldiers to defend the city, so he sent his troops towards the northeast of Guiyang. There are Han people, Miao people, and Tong people (Zhuang and Buyi people). There are not many Yi people, and the degree of Sinicization is very high. Even in most areas, the soil was reformed and returned to the bloc in the early Ming Dynasty, and only a small part was converted to the native land and returned to the bloc at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

  Northeast of Guizhou, the lookout was attached, and there was basically no war.

  Even the few little chieftains left there accepted the policy honestly, freed the slaves and cooperated with the division of land.

  The reason is that the Bozhou Rebellion and the She'an Rebellion have caused serious disasters in Northeast Guizhou. The rebel native soldiers plundered wantonly, and the Ming army came to rob again, resulting in a sharp drop in the population of all ethnic groups, and the chieftains and the people were unwilling to fight again.

  The real unlucky ones were the two divisions in Guangxi.

  They fought with the soldiers in Guangxi for several years. This time they cooperated with the troops in Guizhou, and they encountered the stubborn resistance of the chieftain in Southeast Qiandong. Basically, chieftains fought one by one, and there were also many cowards who escaped from Guangxi and served as mercenaries for the chieftains in Southeast Guizhou.

   It took three months for the Guangxi Datong Army to take Liping Mansion alone.

  Half of Guizhou has been decided, and the chief political envoy of Guizhou has also taken office. The left chief envoy is Kuang Lu from Guangdong. It was the guy who was born as a child prodigy, because of his wildness, he offended the county magistrate and went into exile in half of China. During his escape, he fell in love with the female chieftain of the Yao nationality in Guangxi.

  Kuang Lu used to be the political envoy of the right minister of Guangxi, so he recruited his old friend to surrender, which saved the Datong army some effort.

  Kuang Lu also came with a decree, which made Huang Yao and Fei Yinggong look stupid.

Zunyi, Wusa (Weining), Zhenxiong, Wumeng (Zhaotong), Guihua (Yiliang), and Dongchuan were all separated from Sichuan and placed under the jurisdiction of Guizhou Province—this is only temporary. After the recovery of Yunnan, the administrative Zoning will also change.

  Sichuan territory is too big, it must be split!

  Bijie, Chishui, and Pushi were merged into Bijie Prefecture, which governed Bijie and Chishui counties. Pu City merged into Chishui County.

   All those Zexi streams in the west of the water will be abolished. With Luguang River, Yachi River, and Sira River as the boundary, Shuixi Mansion was set up, and the government of the mansion was Shuixi City (Qianxi City). It consists of five counties: Xiongsuo (Jinsha), Dafang, Zhijin, Huozhuo (Nayong), and Jiale (Liupanshui).

  The territory previously ruled by Tume has been changed to a town-level unit. Tumu is renamed the mayor, but it cannot be hereditary. After the death of the current mayor, try to arrange Yi people to succeed him. At least half of the officials in each town must be Han Chinese.

  The Datong imperial court's rule over Shuixi is temporarily unable to control the villages and towns, but it has made great progress compared to Ming Dynasty.

  The biggest progress is the complete abolition of slavery!

  Zhao Han personally ordered Huang Yao's army not to leave Shuixi, and the war in Guizhou was handed over to other troops to guard the field to prevent the Yi people from rebelling. Of course, Wusa Mansion, Zhenxiong Mansion, Wumeng Mansion, and Guihuasi, which were just assigned to Guizhou from Sichuan, also belong to the land of Shuixi in a broad sense, with the Yi people as the main population, so Huang Yao can divide his troops to attack.

   At this time, the warlords of Duyun Prefecture, Anshun Prefecture, and Pu'an Prefecture wrote to Guiyang to request submission.

  Of course, these Han warlords only control the main local cities.

  For example, Yang Yiping of Pu'an Prefecture, only the state city (Pan County) and Weisuo are actually controlled, and the rest belong to the small chieftain's territory.

  The four-way army that attacked Guizhou, except for Fei Yinggong's troops, the rest could not withdraw for the time being. All have to use a large army to sit in town and assist in the work of settling down and dividing the land. There must be troubles in the process of dividing the land.

  The government decree brought by Kuang Lu, and another one is to form a large number of inspection departments.

  The peasants and soldiers who accompanied the army were divided into many, and the armed police force was formed on the spot. Their families will also move here, and they will live and thrive in Guizhou in the future, relying on the armed police to maintain the stability of Guizhou.

   Only after the formation of armed police forces in various places can the Datong Army be completely withdrawn. It is estimated that Guizhou will be pacified next spring.

   Want to reform the land and return it to the people, want to abolish slavery, and want to distribute the land to the people, it is so troublesome and complicated. It's not like in history when the Manchu Qing went south and brought the surrender chieftain to fight there. Except for changing the ruler, nothing else changed.

  The Datong Army made such a big commotion in Guizhou, what is the puppet imperial court in Yunnan doing?

   Didn't do anything.

  After Mu Tianbo quelled the chieftain's rebellion, he returned to Kunming to sit in town to prevent the emperor from messing things up.

  The emperor had no other intentions than playing songs every night, he just seized the time to have fun, and surrendered immediately when the Datong army came.

  The civil officials in Yunnan also seized the time to search for money. They have already found out that as long as they are not notorious, as long as they are not stubborn, the Datong court will only take away the land, and will not use the floating wealth of the officials and the people.

   It was Mu Tianbo who really wanted to resist, because the Mu family was the largest landowner in Yunnan—millions of acres of land, too much to manage and plant, and even the slaves and common people quietly occupied it without knowing it.

  Shuixi City.

  Lu Tianxiang begged to see Huang Yao on horseback, and when he finally saw him, he asked, "Why didn't you let me go to Uzzah to fight?"

Huang Yao explained: "The court ordered that the children of Mu Kui and Tu Mu, who became local officials, and their children from twelve to sixteen years old, be sent to Nanjing to study. It is not to take you as hostages, but to let you learn Chinese. , Knowing Chinese characters, you can be an official in Shuixi when you grow up. Your Majesty said that twenty years later, new officials in Shuixi will not be able to be illiterate."

   "As a female general, I don't need to be literate, just being able to speak Chinese is enough." Lu Tianxiang said.

Huang Yao said with a smile: "To be a general in the Datong Army, you must be able to read. Otherwise, you will be promoted to the post commander at most. There is a general surnamed Zhang (Zhang Tieniu), who can fall asleep when he touches a book, and he is also forced to read. I wrote a few hundred words, and now I can read the letter by myself."

  Lu Tianxiang said depressedly: "Which idiot made this rule? When you fight a war, you fight a war, and you're not a civil servant. Why do you know so many characters?"

   "The rules set by His Majesty, if you have any doubts, you can ask His Majesty to see you when you go to Nanjing." Huang Yao smiled more happily, he also experienced the hardship of literacy.

"Your Majesty..." Lu Tianxiang said boldly, "The emperor is not right in everything. It is wrong to be a general only if you can read and write. Besides, I will be seventeen (false) in a year, not sixteen, so I don't need to go to Nanjing read."

  Huang Yao didn't bother to talk to her, and called his adjutant: "Order all the ministries, and after three days, send troops to Uzza's mansion."
