Chapter 550 Suppress with all your strength, don't leave the problem to future generations!

"Your Majesty, although many of the gentry in the Shu region have kinship or collusion with the rebels, but now because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion, a large number of cavalry are being sent to arrest them. They are afraid that they will cause chaos in Sichuan!"

"It's better to just admonish and warn them, so that they know how to be in awe, and let the imperial envoys deal with them according to the actual situation in the future."

In this matter, He Jiliang advised Zhu Yijun to stop the matter when he looked at the court that day.

Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "I'd rather let Sichuan be in chaos for a few years, than to condone and raise traitors, and spoil the matter of countering the rebellion! You can't leave the problem to future generations, and let future generations encounter even greater hidden dangers, so there must be no objection to this matter." !"

The censor Xue Jimao followed up and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the foolish minister, Yang Yinglong's rebellion should be appeased rather than suppressed. Appeasing him can make him peaceful, and suppressing it will be exhausting. A large number of casualties, and even a gully of surplus, will not only increase the court's pension and support burden, but also not in line with His Majesty's benevolence!"

"As for reforming the land and returning it to the people, it should be delayed rather than rushed. Now that the imperial court has been influenced by kindness, we should believe that future generations can deal with it better."

……

"absurd!"

"Is there still little influence before?"

"Since the beginning of the country, they have been probated for two hundred years. Have those chieftains been disciplined?!"

"It can be said that in recent years, the southwestern chieftains have been completely unruly. They always rebelled and surrendered, and surrendered and rebelled again, causing many Han and Yi people to die tragically. Vigorously conquer and suppress, and obtain eternal peace in the Southwest!"

"As for the casualties caused by conquest and suppression, it is a matter of last resort for the development of the country. It can only be accepted and cannot be avoided. If it is not dealt with today, it will still be dealt with in the future!"

"What's more, the fate of soldiers is either to be shrouded in horse leather or to make meritorious service on the battlefield. My virtue is to let them either die in battle or seal their wives and children, instead of letting them just be the people who are vainly supported by the court!"

"As for the matter of extravagance, why worry about it? With the wealth of the country today, if you don't return it to the land, do you have to wait for the future generations to spend so much that the treasury is empty?!"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he looked at Xue Jimao.

"Yes!"

"I'm stupid!"

Xue Jimao had no choice but to retreat sadly.

Zhu Yijun had to admit that these bureaucrats who opposed reforming the land and returning to the natives wanted to leave the problem to future generations, and he didn't know if he would be embarrassed to put the airs of his ancestors in front of his descendants in the future.

Zhu Yijun complained secretly, and then said: "So, this time, Yang Yinglong's rebellion must be suppressed with all our strength! No matter how many officers and soldiers are killed in battle, and how much money is spent, this rebellion must be put down, and the place will be governed by officials. place!"

"The decree was sent to the chief ministers of the Southwest to inform the Han and barbarians that how many people were killed in battle, and the imperial court allocated how many silver dollars to build local academies in addition to the compensation money according to the number of people killed in battle, as a place for local farmers' children to study. Eli is king!"

"Yes!"

After Zhu Yijun issued this decree, it further stimulated the nerves of the Han and Yi in the southwest.

For the ordinary Han people in the Southwest and the ordinary Yao, Zhuang, Miao, Tu, Yi and other ethnic minorities, they need to study to achieve class cross-border.

After all, reading is less risky than rebellion, and it is more in line with the minds of these yeoman farmers.

Therefore, Rao will attack Bozhou next, still because of the many dangers and heavy casualties, but there are still soldiers from the chieftains in the southwest joining in a steady stream. Request to send troops, so as to establish an academy here, and some children will be able to win Jinshi in the future.

"The Loushan Pass has been breached?"

Yang Yinglong asked Yang Chaodong in astonishment this day.

Yang Chaodong nodded: "The third brother was also captured."

"how can that be!"

Yang Yinglong couldn't help but patted the table and said.

Yang Chaodong said: "There are too many officers and soldiers. Those wolf soldiers and local soldiers are not afraid of their lives. They are not afraid of cliffs, floods, insects and beasts. No matter how dangerous our pass is, we still can't defend it!"

"It must be Zhu Yijun who invested a lot of money!"

After Yang Yinglong said something, he asked Yu Maochang: "How is the contact with the Han people? Did they persuade Zhu Yijun to recruit us?"

"no!"

"A secret message came from Beijing, and before we had time to contact, the gentry who supported the old rituals had already taken the initiative to ask a few officials to test the emperor's will. As a result, the emperor made it clear that he would suppress the rebellion at all costs, and he even did not hesitate to die in various places. The number of officers and soldiers will determine the scale of the academy raised locally."

"In addition, the cabinet has requested an imperial decree to ask the governors of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang to use the Iwami silver mine as the basis to issue 1000 million taels of national debt to raise funds locally, as a special fund for the pacification of the Southwest and the development of the Southwest!"

"Chengdu and Chongqing have begun to have a large number of Tiqi appearing to arrest the nobles who have contact with us."

"Zhu Yijun's determination to change his native land and return to his native land is really great!"

Yu Maochang looked at Yang Yinglong after speaking.

Yang Yinglong sat down in the chair dejectedly after hearing this.

At that time, Yang Yinglong's cousin He Hanliang suggested from the side:

"Now it seems that we can only force the Chieftains An and She to rebel together!"

Yang Yinglong immediately sat up and looked at He Hanliang: "You mean they don't want to rebel together, so go attack them?"

"That's right!"

"Now that Fotuguan can't be taken down, and the chieftains have been wooed and divided, we can only find another way out!"

"If the An family, the She family and others don't join forces to create chaos, then attack them in order to gain a respite. When the financial resources of the imperial court run out, they will definitely turn to the strategy of appeasement;"

"What's more, Zhu Yijun is using a conspiracy. Everyone in the world knows that he is not only going to destroy our Yang family, but all the chieftains. As long as we help him eliminate most of the chieftains, he doesn't need to make great efforts. Wipe us out!"

He Hanliang said.

Yang Yinglong nodded: "If you don't eliminate these chieftains, these chieftains will help the court eliminate us! Since everyone is not in the same mind, then don't blame me for being unreasonable in Bozhou!"

After Yang Yinglong said, he ordered the troops to dispatch the chieftains of Yongning, but the She clan of Yongning should be eliminated first.

"Yang, I'll fuck your ancestor!"

"I didn't provoke you, why did you come to attack my city gate!"

The She clan, who originally only planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, cursed at him for this, and for a while had to surrender because of his lack of strength, and rebelled with Yang Yinglong.

But there are more chieftain soldiers transferred to attack these chieftains.

The entire Southwest became a mess all of a sudden. There were fierce battles every day, a large number of casualties every day, and some people were appointed officials.

However, most of the lives consumed are always the lives of Zhuang, Miao, Yi, Tu, Yao and other ethnic minorities.

And the chieftains of these ethnic minorities know that the purpose of the court is to consume them, but they can only attack each other, after all, they are scattered.

Some chieftains have more conflicts than the conflicts with the Han people!

What's more, for chieftains who are close to the territory of the Han people, it is more cost-effective to participate in the suppression of the rebellion than to join the rebel army.

Therefore, because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion and Zhu Yijun's insistence on suppression and even spending money to confer a large number of officials and titles, the two sides can only force their own people to work hard and stage a game of life or death.

This kind of killing will not end in a few years or even a dozen or 20 years, or even several generations.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is not in a hurry to see the result immediately, but just asks the officials in the southwest to expand the achievements of reforming the land and returning the locals in a timely manner while suppressing the rebellion. If the chieftain of a place is eliminated, the Han people will be moved there immediately, even if many Han people cannot be moved temporarily. It is necessary to intensify Sinicization of the aborigines, build schools, set up medical clinics, repair water conservancy, encourage agriculture and mulberry, and do practical work in the name of pensions and relief. In short, it is to develop the economy, increase local productivity, and abandon slavery and serfdom.
