Everything your king, elder, and nephew said is true! The Hunjun has decreed the resettlement of Bozhou and Sinan, and Bo Yang Sidian has been restored... Yang Guodong has defected to the Hunjun and has become the commander of the hereditary Bozhou military and civilian command department! "
"Your Majesty, Great Elder, Hunjun also appointed Ma Xianglin as the commander of the Shuixi Military and Civilian Command Department, and Qin Yiming as the commander of the Shuidong Military and Civilian Command Department... Now the Ma and Qin families are fighting The Chongqing Guards in eastern Sichuan are recruiting military households, and are preparing to first determine the water to the east, and then take the water to the west!"
"Your Majesty, Great Elder, Hunjun has also established two new military and civilian command and envoy departments in Yongning and Guiyang. Each command and envoy department has 10 thousand-household offices under its jurisdiction. It is known as the imperial guard's thousand-household office. Most of the military households in charge are from Shaanxi. Half of the beggar soldiers are veterans from Sichuan and Guizhou who can still fight..."
"The king, the elder, and the nephew also heard that Hunjun found 90 county heads and 90 generals from the nine princes' palaces in Chengdu to marry the chieftains and generals from all over Sichuan and Guizhou! These days in Zunyi Mansion Lanterns and colorful decorations are put on every day to celebrate happy events... The chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou are almost becoming relatives of the emperor!"
To the west of the water, it is generous. Several of the attachés who accompanied Yang Guodong as envoy to Zunyi were finally released in the winter of the fourth year of Chongzhen. These people all have the surname An, and are members of the Shuixian clan. Of course they are loyal to the An family.
So after being let go, he flew back to Dafang City to report the bad news to Chieftain King An Wei and Great Elder An Bangyan.
This is really bad news!
An Wei, An Bangyan, and She Shehui were all shocked!
Although the Shuixi'an family is the oldest among the four major chieftains in Guizhou and Sichuan, their ancestors also mixed with Zhuge Liang. However, An's strength is not comparable to that of Bo Yang Sidian, and his influence is much smaller. Now that the Hunjun has restored Yang Sitian, it is equivalent to announcing the abolition of the policy of reforming the land and returning it to exile.
If the Ming Dynasty did not reform the land and return to the army, even if it wanted to change the land and return to the army, the chieftains in the southwest would not resist desperately... For them, there is no difference between being a chieftain officer or a guard officer. .
It is even more frightening that the Hunjun made Ma and Qin two families in charge of Shuixi and Shuidong. This meant that Shuixi and Shuidong were given to Qin Liangyu as a prize.
Moreover, Qin Liangyu's granddaughter and grandniece were adopted as concubines by the Hunjun... In this way, this fierce aunt had the authority and strength to order all the troops to besiege Shuixi.
When it comes to military capabilities, those civilian governors, governors, and governors cannot compare with Qin Liangyu.
In the southwest, who can defeat Qin Liangyu's White Army? Who dares to fight the white pole army?
The news that the Hunjun had established two military and civilian command offices in Yongning and Guiyang also made An Wei, An Bangyan, and She Shehui extremely frightened.
Because everyone knows that the old military households in Guizhou and Sichuan are already dead. Those who did well became scholar-bureaucrats, those who did not do well became tenants, and there were only a few who could fight.
But the begging soldiers from the north are different... Among the four famous chieftains and eight kings of kings in the southwest, only Shuixi'an is a native of central Guizhou for hundreds of years. The remaining eleven chieftains are all beggars from the north - these beggars will rot after staying in Sichuan and Guizhou for a long time, but they were all very vigorous when they first arrived!
As for using 90 county heads and 90 generals to control the country to turn the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou into relatives of the emperor... How is this possible?
"How come there are 90 unmarried county heads?" Even people like An Bangyan were confused. "There are 10 from a county prince's family...how can there be so many? How can they be born?"
yes! She is still an eldest daughter who has never been married. She is at a good age to get married. How can a county prince's family have 10 of them?
Is this county owner still capable of producing?
"First Elder, these county lords and generals do not need to be born by the princes themselves... they can be adopted from the families of generals and lieutenants in Chengdu Prefecture, so there is a sufficient supply!"
An Bangyan said: "Then, what about the vassal ban?"
"Great Elder, the world has changed, and there is no longer a vassal..." replied an An clan member, "The King of Shu in Chengdu transferred his title to Xi'an and became the King of Qin. Nine princes in Chengdu jointly submitted a petition. After deciding to have children, the young emperor also issued an edict to abolish the vassal ban of the Shu kings. From now on, the eldest sons of the Shu kings can go in and out of Chengdu, become officials, and perform meritorious service in the army, just like ordinary people!"
In fact, Zhu Youjian doesn't expect to be an official or perform meritorious service, but these people can become the king of soft rice and the devil who helps his younger brother!
In less than 20 to 30 years, the ladies of the chieftain generals’ families in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan will all be county heads!
At the same time, the generals of the Zhu family all have good father-in-laws...
Of course, An Wei, An Bangyan, and She Shehui cannot see such a situation. Because the Shuixian clan is already standing on the edge of destruction!
The 182 royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty will soon besiege the An family... The little emperor Zhu Youjian doesn't have to take action at all, the Shuixi An family will have to be beaten to death by the crowd!
Don't even think about relying on the high mountains and dense forests to consume military rations from the enemy... The mountains and forests west of Shui are nothing to the local chieftains in the southwest.
If they were willing to try their best, it would be impossible for the She and An rebellion to continue for 10 years... The little strength of She Chongming and An Bangyan would have been over long ago.
...
A few days after the bad news reached Dafang City, Song Siyin (the head of the Shuidong Song family), An Wugong (Anbang Yanzi), and She Chongming, who were stationed on the east and west fronts, all hurried back to Dafang City, and He also brought back some disturbing news.
"Sir, the officers and soldiers led by Qin Liangyu's mother-in-law are spreading along the Luguang River, Yachi River, and Sancha River (all part of Wujiang River)... There are many of them and their fighting spirit is high. It seems that it won't take long. We are going to attack Shuixi!"
"Great Elder, the news from Shuidong is that the Shizhu people and the Zhongzhou people are driving away the leader of the Song family who has been the leader of the Song family for generations... Before long, every village in Shuidong will be Shizhu. The world belongs to the people of Chungju!"
"Great Elder, many people from Shaanxi have come to Yongning... and are also taking over my She family's house and Zhuangzi! There is also news that Hunjun himself will go to Yongning to visit after the new year, and will also visit Yongning and We met with the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, who came from Yunnan, and arranged for the army to attack Shuixi from the direction of Yunnan."
The news brought by the three people can be called bad news!
Although the little emperor Zhu Youjian behaves erratically and is a coward, this kid can be seen as genuine. The officers and soldiers, who were originally in chaos, were sorted out by him and were about to form a joint force.
With 10% combined strength, how much stronger can the Shuixi'an clan be than the Yang clan of Bozhou back then?
Is the Shuixi'an clan really going to perish?
An Bangyan felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and felt a little stuffy in his heart. He looked like he was about to faint.
The culprit, She Chongming, saw An Bangyan looking like he couldn't bear it, so he quickly stepped forward and gritted his teeth and said: "Great Elder... It's better to fight with Hunjun!"
An Bangyan looked at She Chongming, "Fight? How to fight? The 182 royal family and relatives...are almost turned into iron! These mountains and forests in the west of Shui are going to be flattened by them! You Still want to use the same old method to deal with Wang Sanshan to deal with Zhu Youjian?"
She Chongming shook his head: "A wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot... This foolish king also made a mistake!"
"So?" An Bangyan asked.
"He shouldn't have come to Yongning!" She Chongming said, "My family has been in Yongning for hundreds of years and has deep roots... No matter how hard you resist, you can still find out the truth about Hunjun. This Hunjun doesn't have many men at hand! If We can gather our army and attack Yongning out of Chishui. We should be able to catch him off guard and capture the thief and the king!"
"No, no," An Bangyan shook his head, "Hunjun must be surrounded by cavalry. Although the number is small, they can leave as soon as they say!"
Song Siyin said: "Great Elder, why not come up with a trick to lure the enemy into surrender!"
"Fake surrender to lure the enemy?" An Bangyan asked, "How to proceed?"
"I can send an envoy to Yongning City, and I said that I am willing to serve as an internal response...I also said that the Great Elder personally led the troops to the south bank of the Chishui River and was about to cross the river to attack the Chishui Acropolis. I heard that the Hunjun is rash and warlike, so he will probably Personally lead the troops to the Chishui River to ask for a battle, and we will take the opportunity to cross the river and attack..."
