One is strong, the other is soft.
One wields a stick, the other comforts.
The two of them used a combination of punches, but Zheng Congren finally couldn't resist and signed the document of "returning to native land and returning to exile".
There is no way, the powerful enemies in the north are all gone, and the imperial court really does not need to station a large number of sergeants on the northern front line. It can completely mobilize the sergeants south without worrying about any further threats on the grassland.
The most powerful enemies on these grasslands have been defeated and defeated. How can the chieftains in these ravines still fight against the imperial court? Not to mention the border troops coming down, even Zheng Congren, the capital of Sichuan, couldn't stop them. What could hundreds of people do against the imperial court?
If you want to rely on geographical advantages to resist the imperial court, you can still resist resistance during the Hongwu period, but you will die in the end. As for the Jianwen Dynasty, they could no longer resist. The imperial court's firearms could fly from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, and they could fly over from several miles away.
No checkpoints or places where one man is in charge are easy to use. Even if they kill a part of the Ming army, they will not be able to escape the end of destruction in the end.
Compared with Sheng Yong's strategy of "grasping with both hands, one hand hard and the other softly" to turn the natives back into exile, Zhang Fu in Guangxi was quite disdainful. To deal with chieftains, do you need two hands?
A man comes to the door with a knife in his hand, calls your name, and asks if you dare to agree.
If you don't agree, it will turn into blood.
Zhang Fu's reputation for killing people is terrifying in Guangxi. This guy is a ruthless boss who doesn't know how to negotiate. Several chieftains were so frightened that they stuttered, but they were just a little slow and their heads were almost chopped off. Lose.
There are many ruthless chieftains in Guangxi, but this ruthlessness has its own characteristics. When it comes to someone like Zhang Fu, it can only be said that eight generations of ancestors have not prayed for him.
Zhang Fu is not afraid of serious problems. In his mind, the bigger the problem, the more enemies there are, the better to solve it. For example, Annan, such as the Japanese army, it would be better to concentrate all the efforts in one battle, so as not to run here and there.
It is easier to convert Yunnan to native land. After all, after a war, all the young and strong laborers of the local chieftains were wiped out. In this case, it is only necessary to relocate the old, weak, women and children, and there is no need to waste much effort.
But Mao Zheng suffered a lot of grievances in Huguang. The chieftain in Huguang was adamant. If you want my power, I will take your life. Hair pruning is nothing until his hair is pruned away.
Mao Zheng, who had experienced many battles and was somewhat famous, was depressed by this scene. No one dared to provoke Zhang Fu in Guangxi, Mu Sheng was silent in Yunnan, and Sheng Yong saw no resistance in Yunnan. Why did he come to Huguang on his own? Are you all getting arrogant?
Is it possible that these people are not afraid of death?
Try it.
Mao Zheng personally led his people and picked up two thousand heads. Then he called himself "Little Zhang Fu" and used this name to start sweeping away the disobedient chieftains in Huguang.
Regarding the pain caused by the reform, the conflicts that intensified and turned into unjust killings, these things were reported to Jinling. Many officials wrote letters hoping that Zhu Yunwen could issue an edict to use a gentle attitude and spend three to ten years. Step by step, he changed his ways and returned to his old ways, but after these memorials were sent, they disappeared into the sea, and there was no news at all.
Zhu Yunwen admitted that excessive incentives would cause unnecessary damage, but he was no longer the emperor when he first ascended the throne. He had no intention of controlling the Northeast, and all of Western Xinjiang was controlled by the imperial court. Why would the chieftain still want to monopolize one area? form things
A de facto separatist regime, enjoying the benefits of restraint but still hurting the Ming Dynasty from time to time?
If the chieftain issue is not resolved, problems will arise sooner or later. The several Southwest Rebellions recorded in history books are clear evidence of this, which caused great distress to the Ming Dynasty.
After seven days of quarrels and more than a dozen cups thrown, the cabinet and the six ministries finally agreed on the fiscal budget for the twelfth year of Jianwen.
The money taken by the Ministry of War is second only to the Ministry of Works, which makes many courtiers confused.
The consideration of Zhu Yunwen, the cabinet and the six ministries was that there were fewer enemies. Although the imperial court did not intend to hide the good bows and cook the lackeys, it decided to further reduce the army, convert the border guards into posts, and the posts into forts. What can be withdrawn from the mainland can be withdrawn directly, and the guards can also be merged.
According to Zhu Yunwen's calculations, the number of sergeants in the Ming Guards will be reduced from 1.8 million to 1.4 million. Even the Beijing Army will spend five years reducing it to 200,000.
Naval force
Instead of decreasing, it increased, from 100,000 to 120,000.
Even so, the imperial court will disarm at least 200,000 troops within a year. In order to appease these sergeants and achieve smooth disarmament, they need to be given preferential treatment according to the new army's policy, and this requires a lot of finances.
Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others all know that the Ministry of Revenue is bleeding money this time to save finances for the next year. As the enemy disappears, external threats become extremely weak, and firearms begin to enter the stage of comprehensive replacement. Disarmament is the most important thing. As a measure to save money, these sergeants and their families can also be relocated to places suitable for farming and increase agricultural reclamation.
The Ministry of Industry took away one-seventh of the Ming Dynasty's annual finance in one fell swoop. The railway alone took away five million yuan of finance. The Ministry of Husbandry also needs a lot of money to clear the father-in-law, and the Ministry of Rites also needs money.
Regarding culture and education, the Ministry of Personnel wanted to take this opportunity to increase the salaries of lower officials and improve everyone's treatment, but Xia Yuanji vetoed it. No matter how the Ministry of Personnel and other officials jumped around, it didn't work.
To move the capital this year, the court will need to pay a lot of "Daoli fees", and it is impossible for Zhu Yunwen to let officials travel to Peking on their own. This is a huge expense, mainly for the relocated officials and their families. And adjusting the salaries of officials involves too many things, including all prefectures, prefectures and county officials. Even if one person's salary is increased by 500 yuan, it is a lot of money and it is difficult to handle.
The Ministry of Punishment wants money, but there really aren't many excuses. The most they can do is write letters, hold meetings, and discuss the terms of the law. What money do you want? I'll give you two reinforced prison cells and replace the old torture instruments. It's already good. If you want to ask for more money, there is no way.
No matter how hard the southwest direction is, the main population areas and provinces of the Ming Dynasty have entered a stage of comprehensive stability, and the people who transported food and wages finally returned to their hometowns and started farming.
In a prosperous environment, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office finally selected candidates, and ordered Qu Neng, the commander of the Western Xinjiang capital, to be responsible for the surrender of Oara, ordered Hu Hui to be responsible for the distribution of Oara people, and ordered Xue Lu to lead troops out of the customs to assist Hu Hui. Regarding resettlement matters, the craftsmen and people who had finished building the new city in Peiping were ordered to turn to building cities outside the pass...
Mahamu and Nielie were left behind in the Ming Dynasty, and Tupolo and his team of envoys went to the Oara tribe with Hu Ming.
Zhu Yunwen personally saw Tupolo off, and sent him off again and again. He stopped when he reached the Yangtze River, and gave Tupolo great trust: "Wala Guishun, you are a person of great merit, and the court will never forget you.
contribute. This time when you go west, please be more careful and don't cause any trouble. When you come again, I will host a banquet for you outside the new capital of Peking. "
Tupolo was so moved that he promised and asked for wine in advance from Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen did not bring any wine with him and directly gave Tupolo his jade pendant, which made Tupolo burst into tears.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know why the ancients were so emotional, but he knew that Baotupolo was a person close to the Ming Dynasty, and that was enough.
