Not the Eight Prefectures. The yamen that oversees the censorship is called the Chaoyuan, and the yamen that oversees the governor is called the Duyuan. It sounds good, but together they become the Duchayuan.
In Guilin, the "two academies" are right next to each other. To say they are separated by a wall is a bit exaggerated, but they are indeed on the same street. So after Governor Zhang and his staff returned to the capital, since Mr. Futai had to recuperate and rest, some people could come to Mr. Tai's place to sign up and make friends.
It can be seen here that there is a close relationship. It is not an old friend, and generally one does not dare to disturb them right away.
Gao Pangshi had never been to Guangxi in this life, but he had old friends. Hu Chui, the admiral of Guangxi's academic affairs and the right deputy censor of the capital, and Zhao Yumin, the chief envoy of Guangxi and his left counselor, were old friends.
Although these two people had not had many direct dealings with Gao Pragmatic before, the relationship between officials in the Ming Dynasty was so magical that they all visited Gao Pragmatic in the name of visiting "Brother".
The children of the seat master and the room master can all be called world brothers by their disciples, regardless of their age.
When Gao Pragmatic calls them, they can be senior brothers or world brothers.
"Brother Gao Shi inspected a province at a young age. This is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This holy family is like a mountain and a sea."
"Haha, yes, brother Gao Shi, you are the sixth number one scholar, unparalleled in the world, and you are so important. I am afraid that in the future, you will be in the cabinet to assist in the government at the age of thirty. Brother Yu, I will ask you to take care of me in the future."
Gao Pragmatic naturally responded with modesty and politeness. After the two parties were seated respectively, the three of them talked nonsense about old news in Beijing, and then gradually got down to business.
After all, Hu Wei was the oldest, and was the first to speak, "No one in the world is dissatisfied with Brother Shi's knowledge, but this place in Guangxi is a little different from other places. Although Brother Yu has been in Guangxi for only two years, he has been deeply impressed by it. "
Gao pragmatically said, "I am young and ill-informed, and I am from the north touring the southern border. I don't know everything, and I feel deeply embarrassed. I am about to ask my brother for advice."
Hu Chui whisked his beard and said with a smile, "Brother, you have helped me save my life. Please tell me where I dare to take it."
What he said was what happened two years ago. Although Hu Wei was only forty-five or six at that time, he fell seriously ill when he returned to Beijing to report on his work and almost died. It was Gao Pingshi who asked Li Shizhen to come over and pull him away from death. Come back, that's why Hu Wei said this.
Gao Pingshi just smiled after hearing this and did not continue, because this interruption would interrupt the topic again.
Sure enough, after Hu Wei said this, he immediately picked up the topic and said, "The chaos in Guangxi, in the final analysis, there are only two words, Tong and Yao. And these two words can be discussed separately. Tongren can be regarded as submissive and managed." There are many of them, and most of the Yao people are those who cause trouble. Therefore, there are many chieftains among the children, while many of the Yao people are those who cause trouble."
Gao pragmatically nodded, this is the so-called issue of ethnic integration and ethnic conflict.
However, his thinking was different from that of Ming people today. In his eyes, not to mention Tong people and Yao people, even Mongolia were objects that could be assimilated, and there was no discriminatory mentality.
I dare not say that he will assimilate to the whole world, at least to assimilate to East Asia. He has no psychological barriers. As for whether he can achieve it, that is another matter.
Hu Wei said again, "The Yao people's rebellion has existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Now the main area of rebellion is probably in the southeast of Guangxi and the west of Guangxi. Most of these Yao people live in the mountains and forests. Sometimes they resist the imperial dynasty, go down the mountains to cause rebellion, and conquer prefectures and counties." , wreaking havoc in all directions, has been a serious problem for generations. Therefore, successive governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were always vigilant, but if the Yao people rebelled, they would send out large armies to suppress them."
This Gao Pragmatic did know, and he also knew that the distribution range of the Yao people in Guangxi has been changing since the Ming Dynasty. In the early to mid-Ming Dynasty, the Yao people mainly gathered in the eastern Guangxi area. However, in the early Qing Dynasty, the number of Yao people in Guixi increased significantly, while the number of Yao people in Guidong decreased day by day. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, almost all Yao people were distributed in remote mountainous areas throughout Guangxi.
The first and most important reason here is that compared to the Tong people, the Yao people are more obviously resistant to sinicization, and because of resistance, it is easier to cause misunderstandings and confrontations, which then evolve into various conflicts. So there is nothing to say, and the fight begins. chant.
After being beaten, he was driven into the deep mountains and old forests.
It is said that in the earliest times, the population gap between Tong people and Yao people was not big, but in later generations, this gap has widened dramatically, and the population of Tong people has reached more than five times that of Yao people.
The main reason why the Tong people performed better than the Yao people was that they clearly accepted and supported the rule of the central dynasty while maintaining a certain degree of independence. Therefore, there have been Tong people chieftains for a long time, ruling the local area in a hereditary capacity.
In Guangxi, Zuojiang and Youjiang areas are the most prosperous.
It happened that Hu Zhui also mentioned this matter. He said to Gao Pingshi, "The Yao people do not obey the king's rule. They have always been able to suppress them, but the Tong people are much better. The major chieftain families generally obey orders. For example, when the Japanese were suppressed in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Wa, who was in charge of Tianzhou and Guiyizhou, led thousands of soldiers on an expedition to the south of the Yangtze River. She achieved quite a lot and was awarded the title of second-class lady."
Gao pragmatically smiled and said, "I know something about this."
Hu Wei nodded, but then became solemn and said solemnly, "Brother, please don't think that all the child chieftains are honest. I don't know if one-third of them are truly honest. The rest are mostly It's just superficial obedience, but all kinds of subversion behind the scenes are absolutely indispensable. There are even some unruly people who are usually lawless. The children of the major families often fight internally because of inheritance and other matters. Even attacking each other would be a big disaster."
Gao pragmatic nodded and asked, "Who among the Guangxi chieftain families is the most powerful?"
Hu Wei and Zhao Yumin looked at each other and said at the same time, "Brother, I don't know if I want to plant Yang in Tianyang or what Cen Huang said about Guangdong and Guangxi."
Thanks to the "Bozhou Rebellion", one of the three major campaigns of Wanli, Gao Pragmatic knew about "Sibotian Yang", but he was referring to the Sizhou Tian family and the Bozhou Yang family.
The history of Tianjiashi Town in Sizhou can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. In the second year of the founding of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Tian Zongxian became the governor of central Guizhou, and then ruled hereditary. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tian family was separated into two branches: Sinan and Sizhou. So far, Sinan and Sizhou Tian's Xuanweisi are the two major chieftains among the four major chieftains in Guizhou.
Sizhou Tian's chieftain is one of the most famous chieftains in the history of central Guizhou. He has been hereditary for thousands of years and has a vast territory. "Si Bo Tian Yang" means that Sizhou is the world of Tian's chieftain, and Bozhou is the world of Yang's chieftain.
However, during the Yongle period, a conflict broke out between Sinan and Sizhou Tian's Xuanwei Division over the cinnabar veins, which was known as the Battle of the Sandpit in history. This fatal internal strife became an excellent excuse for Emperor Yongle to solve the problem of Sizhou chieftain. He sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and captured two chieftains, Sizhou Tianchen and Sinan Tianzong, and executed them in the capital the following year. As a result, the Sizhou chieftain ceased to exist, and the power of the Tian family was greatly reduced. However, the centipede did not die, and the Tian family still retained the position of chief lawsuit officer.
Therefore, although there are many chieftains in Guizhou at present, the Yang family in Bozhou is the most prosperous, followed by the Shuixi'an family, Sizhou Tian family, and Shuidong Song family.
Gao Jingshi got to know these major chieftain families in Guizhou because of the Bozhou Rebellion, but Gao Jingshi from Guangxi didn't know much about them, so he really didn't have much impression of "Guangdong and Guangxi Cenhuang". Maybe they were more honest.
However, Hu Wei and Zhao Yumin seemed to be quite wary of this "Guangdong and Guangxi Cenhuang". They looked at each other, and it was Hu Wei who said, "By the way, after you take office, you will definitely patrol various places. But please be extremely careful when patrolling the Zuo and Youjiang areas, and try to avoid getting into grudges with Chieftains Cen and Huang, otherwise"
